Notes | The constituency of Westminster was hotly contested in the general election of 1741. The present print must date from the moment when, as Vernon and Edwin appeared about to win, Sundon contrived with the High Bailiff and Returning Officer John Lever to close the polls prematurely; Sundon and Wager were returned. A petition to parliament, resulted in the overturning of the result and a new election was called at which Edwin and John Perceval were returned unopposed; Vernon having taken the seat of Ipswich for which he was elected. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

[edit]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. ![]() |
