| Description | J G Cottingham to John Taylor. Has heard that enquiries are being made into misdoings of their electoral opponents; hopes any such enquiries are made discreetly; encloses note from Taylor's brother William, implying that refreshments were being freely given at the Tory Committee Room; suggests William Taylor may know of definite cases of treating (providing food and drink as a means of bribing the electorate), 3 Dec |
