I was yesterday in the minority - to-day I have a majority of Forty-nine; and as a greater number of Freemen have been polled than ever were known to vote at any former Election for this City, I flatter myself that the honour of my being returned as one of your Representatives in the next Parliament is placed beyond doubt. | The Polling will be resumed To-morrow at Ten o'clock; and I shall be most happy to be accompanied by my friends to the Hustings at Half-past Nine. | A Statement of the Poll is subjoined. | I have, Gentlemen, the honour to remain | Your obliged and faithful servant, | <...>ANGSTON'.
