Scope and content
Petition.
-Morton and Drummond had been candidates for election for the office of mayor holder in Victoria. Morton is charging that the list of voters used at the election for mayor was made out in a manner contrary to law and contained the names of many people who were not supposed to be on the voters list. The voters list was based on a Road Tax List, which had not been revised for the year 1874, and contained a great many names that had been put on it for the purpose of enabling them to vote. Morton charges that Drummond won the election as a result of these people that weren't supposed to be voting and asks that the election results be declared void and Drummond be removed from the position.
