27.—The election to fill the vacancy in the representation of Lynn caused by the elevation to the peerage of Lord Walpole commenced. The candidates were Col. the Hon. John Walpole, brother of the late member, and Sir William Browne ffolkes. Considerable disturbance prevailed throughout the contest. About 40 voters had polled for each candidate, when the mob demolished Col. Walpole’s polling booth, set fire to the materials, and stoned the poll clerks. They then proceeded to the Duke’s Head Inn, smashed the windows, tore the Corporation flag to pieces, and committed other acts of violence. The polling was adjourned until the 28th, when the disturbances were renewed, and a further postponement was rendered necessary, the numbers then standing: Walpole, 137; ffolkes, 72. About three o’clock in the afternoon a detachment of the 7th Dragoon Guards arrived from Norwich, under the command of Lieut. Everard. One of the ringleaders of the mob was captured and sent under escort to Swaffham Bridewell. The polling was resumed on the 29th, and at noon, when every vote appeared to have been recorded, the Town Clerk announced the numbers as follow: Walpole, 156; ffolkes, 92. The former was then declared duly elected. At the Norfolk Assizes held at Norwich on July 31st, before Mr. Justice Best, William Chandler was indicted for taking part in the riot at Lynn, and was ordered to enter into his recognisances to come up for judgment when called upon. Thomas Johnson and other persons were at the Lent Assizes at Thetford in March, 1823, sentenced by Mr. Justice Garrow to various terms of imprisonment for participating in the disturbances. JULY. 4.—Died, at the age of 101, Mrs. Aldborough, of Trowse.
