To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
128 THE SCOTTISH PARLIAMENT as being "more solemn and formal/' whereas the other was subscribed by only three electors, though by Act of Parliament six electors' signatures at least were required. 1 The Act of 1 68 1 2 in some measure corrected the laxity of procedure which the cases brought before the House in 1678 revealed, though the number of controverted elections in later Parliaments was not inconsiderable. 8 In 1689 the House annulled the election of the Member for Jedburgh on the ground... of " clandestine marking of the votes " in his favour.
It was also established that the magistrates of the burgh had " threatened and menaced " those who objected to these irregular proceedings, and that the supporters of the rival candidate " were threatened by these magistrates to have their heads broken." It was alleged further, that one of the electors, whose name was subscribed at full length upon one of the rival commissions, could not write. 4 The existing political crisis no doubt explains the excited state of political feeling in Jedburgh.
