| Notes |
These names are taken from a list in the 'Morning Post', 10 Feb. 1874, which gives them in full: 'Sir Sampson Gideon, Lord Frederick Campbell, Sir James Cockburn, Mr Le Cox, Mr S. Daws, Sir Edward Dering, Sir J William Dolben, Mr Fludyer, General Murray, Mr [i.e. Lord] Adam Gordon, Mr Frazer, Sir Charles Gould, Mr Masterman, Sir H. Hoghton, Sir S. Griffin, Sir Geo. Osborne, Mr Ambler, Mr William Chaytor, Mr Rodney, Mr Cl Taylor, Lord Hinchinbroke, Mr S. Dutton, Mr Ewer.' One name only is omitted by Rowlandson, that of Sir George Osborne. [The constituencies of these M.P.s are easily found in 'The Royal Kalendar' for 1784, and they can be compared with Robinson's notes on the state of the constituencies which he prepared for the election of 1784. 'Parliamentary Papers of John Robinson', ed. W. T. Laprade, 1922, pp. 66-106.] Fox's dwindling majority is attributed to the corruption managed by the late Treasury Secretary. See BMSat 6427, 6428. Reissued, 'Westminster Election', p. 283; the date has been added to the publication-line. Grego, 'Rowlandson', i. 118 (reproduction). Reproduced, 'Grego, Hist. of Parliamentary Elections', 1892, p. 265. |

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
