For Hon. Major Vereker

Henry Collis Esq.
Arthur Brerton Esq.

The poll being finally closed at 12, the returning officers announced by
their books the numbers to be
For the Hon. Major Vereker.................................412
For John Tuthill Esq..............................................268
Majority.........................................................144
When the Sheriff declared the Hon. John Prendergast Vereker to be duly
elected the Representative in Parliament for this City.

Immediately after the court was dissolved, the Hon. Major Vereker, attended
by a vast concourse of respectable friends, was chaired to his father's
house at the Crescent; the chair was superbly decorated; the excellent band
of the City Limerick Regt. attended and performed some delightful airs.
Mr. Tuthill's chairing commenced in Francis-street, he was seated in a very
elegant car, most tastefully ornamented; the procession preceded by the
trades with their several ensigns and banners, and followed by gentlemen
with white wands and laurels, occupied a very great extent.
Notwithstanding the streets were so crowded, we are happy to learn that not
an accident of any description occurred.
