On petition the House declared the election of Sir John void, notwithstanding his numerical majority. t In 1780 Mr. Bowlby gave the Corporation "a cup;" for which he was thanked by the then Town Clerk. The handsome silver goblet or loving cup, still produced by the Corporation on important occasions, has on it the hall- mark of the earlier date, 1 720-1.
