A person, after voting for preses and clerk, went out of the court-room to an antichamber, where he waited till he heard his name called to give his vote for the Member to be elected, and instantly appearing, gave his vote. There being no opportunity previously to put the trust-oath, it was tendered to him immediately after giving his vote, when he refused it, as being out of time. The freeholders having sustained the vote, the Lords found they had done wrong, and ordered the person's name to be expunged from the roll. See Appendix.
