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.
