iii: In which constituency was Mr Browborough’s election reversed due to bribery?
iv: In which West Indian constituency was the election “sweetness done and turning sour”?
v: Which crusader’s ultimate election was so prolonged that electors were threatened with starvation?
vi: Who won the election, having engineered the demise of the four favourites, and then chose self-cremation?
vii: Which MP for Aylesbury was expelled, but later headed the poll when he stood for Middlesex?
viii: Who spoke in support of the Liberal candidate in Brattleburn, a Tory stronghold?
ix: Whose supposedly forged red letter led to the government’s electoral defeat?
