Jjy King James the Second, in 1688. 



871 



James Longe, an acquaintance of the L'^ Yarmouths * ; a right 

 man ; for these two the Dissenters and county in generall will 

 vote, unless the Lord Combury be proposed and recommended 

 to them, for whome a good intrest may be made.t 



Saeum, Is a Corporation : the Election is in the boddy Corporate, who 



are receiving their charter ; and though that Citty for y° 

 generallity are cross to j^our Ma"" intrest, yett such persons 

 are propos'd to be inceiied in that charter, as intend to choose 

 Bennett Swaine, and James Hely, who have gi-eat intrest in 

 the Citty, and both undoubtedly right. 



Wilton : Is a Corporation ; the Election is in the boddy corporate ; the 



Regulation propos'd being past, they will choose John Read, 

 and Mr. Grove, both dissenters. They have noe inclination 

 to their former members. 



DoTNTON : Is a Borrough : the Election Popular of above 100 : they pro- 



pose to choose S' Chai'les Raleigh, of whome they have no 

 doubt ; he being at great odds with the Church men ; and 

 GUes Eyres, that hath bin veny violent, but ambitious of 

 Honour, and supposed he wiU be right to reconcile himselfe to 

 your Maj'''=, but of those two we are not soe confident. 



HiNDON : Is a Burrough that chooseth by presci'iption. There are about 



120 Electors, of which S' Matthew Andrewes hath about 50, 

 as his Tenants. He is supposed right, but was not discovered 

 by those on the place, he being then in London ; nor noe per- 

 sons yett named for this place ; the former members have 

 great intrest, but are not right. 



Westbuet: Is a Borrough that chooseth by Burgess Tenements. This 



towne is under the influence of the Earle of Abington, J who we 

 know not how yett to engage ; unless he will only propose 

 CoUonell Lewis, who may be inclined to be right ; and then 

 the Towne may be made for M' Trenchard, who is undoubtedly 

 right, and hath soe declared himselfe. 



Heyesbttet Is a Borrough, that chooseth by prescription. The Election is 



in a few. The Towne is under the power of M^ William Ash, 

 who is a right man, who, with his brother Edward Ash, thats 

 allso right, will undoubtedly be chosen. 



Calne : Is a Coi-poration. The Election is in the boddy Corporate, 



who by the Regulation proposed will be much under the in- 

 fluence of the Mayor of the Devizes, and Alderman Jeffreyes 

 of that place. The towne hath yett proposed only S' George 

 Hungerf ord, in whom they have a confidence that he is right ; 

 they will fix on another good man. 



Devizes Is a Corporation. The Election is in the boddy corporate, who 



are soe regulated, that they will undoubtedly choose S' John 



• Recently nominated Lieutenant of Wiltshire in the room of the Earl of Pembroke, displaced by 

 James 11.
