Minutes of Evidence Taken Before the Select Committee on the Dundalk Election. Case I. by Ireland. Parliament. House of Commons Pdf
The borough of Dundalk, Co. Louth, returned two members to the Irish House of Commons. The constituency was controlled by the Earl of Clanbrassill, who in 1783 secured the return of his nephews Lord Jocelyn and the Hon. George Jocelyn. The defeated candidates, John William Foster and Richard Dawson, appealed unsuccessfully against the verdict, claiming that the votes of 18 freemen who supported them had been rejected. See E.M. Johnston-Liik, Hist. Ir. Parl. 1692-1800, v.2., p.293.
