Taunton by-election, 1701 : ウィキペディア英語版
Taunton by-election, 1701

The Taunton by-election of 1701 to the Parliament of England was held on 17 March 1701 in Taunton, Somerset, following the decision of the incumbent, Henry Portman, to sit in Wells. The by-election was contested by one of Portman's friends, Sir Francis Warre, 1st Baronet, and Thomas Baker, a Taunton merchant. Warre, a Tory, was elected, although Baker petitioned the result, claiming the Mayor was corrupt.
==Background==
In the general election held in January and February 1701, Taunton returned both of its standing Members of Parliament, Henry Portman, a Tory, and Edward Clarke, a Whig. Portman had also stood, and been elected in the constituency of Wells. He chose to represent Wells, triggering a by-election in Taunton. In his history of Taunton, William Gibson suggests that he may have made the decision based upon Wells being a "less furiously divided town for a Tory."
Seymour suggested that his friend, Sir Francis Warre, 1st Baronet stand as the Tory candidate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SEYMOUR (afterwards PORTMAN), Henry )〕 Warre was one of the largest land-owners in Somerset, and had previously represented Bridgwater since 1685.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WARRE, Sir Francis, 1st Bt. )〕 He had been granted a baronetcy as a child, due to his father's support of the Royalists. Gibson claimed that he probably stood in Taunton in order to "bolster the Tory interest in his home town."〔 The Whig candidate, Thomas Baker was a prominent merchant in Taunton.〔
