Description for [Report on the Newry Borough Election Petition, 1833]
Hardback. [Report from the Select Committee on the Newry Borough Election Petition: and also the Minutes of Evidence taken before them] In the matter of the Petition of Dennis Maguire, Esquire, of Newry, in the County of Armagh, one of the Candidates at the last election for a Member to serve in Parliament for the Borough of Newry, complaining of an undue Election and Return for the said Borough, the Committee determined;- That the Honourable Arthur Marcus Cecil Hill, commonly called Lord Arthur Marcus Cecil Hill, is duly elected a Burgess to serve in the present Parliament for the Borough of Newry;- That the Petition of the said Dennis Maguire does not appear to be frivolous or vexatious;- That the opposition to the Petition does not appear to be frivolous or vexatious. The Committee also came to the resolution that although it had not been proved that the sitting Member was implicated by the existence of unlawful practices during the late election for the Borough of Newry, it appears that a system of bribery prevailed there to a considerable extent, in which certain Members of a club called The Union were concerned; and the Committee wished to direct the attention of The House to the part taken in these transactions by James Lisle and other Electors. 50pp. Disbound, housed in a protective file
