Sir Robert Peel has had an electioneering " refresher," in

the shape of a dinner given by Captain Townshend to his own supporters in Tamworth. The speeches were hotly Anti-Ministerial. Captain Townshend promised to stand by the borough in future contests. " Often had it been said to him How useless for you to measure your strength with Peel but he knew that when Peel was nothing, his family had for ages been established in that borough." (" Tremendous cheering.")
