hi/ King James the Second, in 1688.

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

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

 vote, unless the Lord Cornbury be proposed and recommended 

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



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



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

 generallity are cross to your Ma ties intrest, yett such persons 

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

 Bennett Swaine, and James Hely, who have great intrest in 

 the Citty, and both undoubtedly right. 



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



Eegulation propos'd being past, they will choose John Eead, 

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

 to their former members. 



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



pose to choose S r Charles Ealeigh, of wTiome they have no 

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

 Giles Eyres, that hath bin verry violent, but ambitious of 

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

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



Hindon : Is a Burrough that chooseth by prescription. There are about 



120 Electors, of which S r 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. 



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

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

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

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

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

 right, and hath soe declared himselfe. 



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

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

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

 allso right, will undoubtedly be chosen. 



Is a Corporation. The Election is in the boddy Corporate, 

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

 fluence of the Mayor of the Devizes, and Alderman JefEreyes 

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

 Hungerford, 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 r John 



Heyesbury
