To the honourable the Representatives of the province of New Hampshire in New England in General Assembly to be Conven'd May y twenty Second A D. 1771 The humble petition of the Subscribers Freeholders of Londonderry and Windham of the province aforesaid Sheweth, That your Petitioners are a Great part if not the Majority of the Qualified Voters of said Londonderry and Windham That your petitioners think they can make it evidently appear that in the choice of a Representative Last Tuesday they were Treated by the Moderator of said meeting and his abettors with manifest and Glaring partiality, that persons were admitted by the Governing Party in said Meeting to Vote who cou'd or wou'd Not Give suficient Evidence of their Being Qualified as the Law Directs, That altho' an express Law of the province Provides in case any dispute shou'd arise upon a written Vote a Poll if demanded shou'd be the final Decision and altho the Moderator did Promise that said poll should Take place in case it was Demanded and in consequence of said Promise a Number did forbear Voteing by a written vote as Thinking it wou'd Be soon enough when it came to the poll yet when a dispute did arise upon the determination by the written Vote though the Moderator was call'd upon imediately and Repeatedly by a great number of the members of the meeting agreeable to his promise and to the Law to Bring the matter to a final decision By poll yet he did in an arbitrary and dispotic manner Refuse the same. May it therefore Please your honours to consider and enquire in to the case from we we think it will evidently appear that the matter was not fairly carried and to Give order that Londonderry and Windham may have another meeting in order to have a fair choice and your Petitioners shall ever pray & &© Sign at Londonderry May y 16th 1771.
