PETERSFIELD ELECTION.—The Committee appointed to try this Election having sat six days, came to a determination by which the Resolution of 1727 is restricted to the freeholders of lands and houses, “being entire ancient tenements;” but as these words are for the first time engrafted on the former Resolution of the House, which this Committee had previously decided was the last determination on the right of voting in this Borough, and are to be considered as contrary to it, the Electors, we hear, intend to avail themselves of the opportunity afforded them by the Act of Parliament, and to appeal from this decision, that the former right of voting in the Borough may be restored.
