The Trial of the Cause on the Action brought by Hans Wintrop Mortimer, Esq; Member for the Borough of Shaftesbury, against Francis Sykes, Esq; for bribary committed at Shaftesbury, previous to the General Election, in October, 1774. Tried by a special jury, on Saturday the 27th of July 1776. At the assize held at Dorchester for the County of Dorset, before The Honourable Sir James Eyre, printed in the year 1776, 19 pages, with a later printed broadside pasted to verso of the title page from Hans Wintrop Mortimer, addressed to the worthy electors of the Borough of Shaftesbury, dated Shaston, 11 June, 1790, proposing himself once more for election (the fourth time), and referring to the 'wicked conduct of my agent', plus the rare uncoloured mezzotint The Shaftsbury Election or the Humours of Punch, published by S.

Mortimer and Mark Mortimer, circa 1820s-1850s, contemporary or near-contemporary sprinkled full calf, worn with backstrip partially deficient, 4to (Qty: 1)NOTESA notorious case of election bribery. 'At the election of Sir Thomas Rumbold and Sir Francis Sykes, the two ministerial candidates for Shaftesbury in 1774, several thousand pounds were distributed to the voters at the rate of 20 guineas a man. The mayor and aldermen were entrusted with the distribution and they devised a scheme by which a man disguised as Punch delivered guineas in parcels to electors through a hole in the door. The electors were then taken to another room in the house where 'Punch's Secretary' required him to sign notes for the money received made payable to an imaginary character, 'Glen Bucket'. The defeated candidate, Hans Mortimer, petitioned against the return on the ground of gross and notorious bribery the members and their agents... The House of Commons resolved that Sykes, Rumbold and six members of the Corporation of Shafesbury should be prosecuted for subornation of purgery; a bill was brought in for disfranchising Shaftesbury. These proceedings were eventually shelved, but while they were pending Mortimer brought actions... against Sykes for twenty-six acts of bribary, obtaining a verdict for twenty-two penalties amounting to £11,000.' (BM Satires 5341, pages 225-226). One of the best-known examples of rigged elections in 'rotten boroughs', partly because the candidates were nabobs, Sir Thomas Rumbold having been Governor of Madras, and consequently a man of enormous wealth.

Young woman holding a candle-pastel-22 ins. by 17 ins.', old auction stencil to verso 751 NF (Qty: 1)NOTESProvenance: Mrs De Walter Storff; Christie's London, 11 June 1963, lot 66, sold for 6 guineas to Smith; Lady Huntington-Whiteley, Ripple Hall, near Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire (descendant of Stanley Baldwin). The auction stencil to verso identifies this work as a pastel, 22 x 17 inches, by Wright of Derby, A Young Woman holding a Candle, vendor Mrs De Walter Storff, buyer Smith. However, this work has now been confidently attributed to Henry Morland by Neil Jeffares and included in his online archive (www.pastellists.com/Articles/MORLAND.pdf) as attributed to Henry Morland (J.547.1335). A mezzotint version in the same direction by James Watson (1740-1790) after Henry Morland exists in both proof and lettered states in the British Museum (Chaloner Smith 1883, 163; Gordon Goodwin, British Mezzotinters (1904) 193). Another mezzotint version of the painting, with some differences, was published by Philip Dawe (1750-1785) as The Pretty Maid with her Apron before the Candle. Henry Morland exhibited a painting in crayons entitled Servant with a Candle at the Society of Artists in 1765, number 86.
