M952 Meeting of the new parliament, 25 Oct., 1705.

1913 Their names were Clayton, Ashurst, Heathcote and a new candidate in
the person of Samuel Shepheard, the Tories who were put up in
opposition being Sir John Fleet, Sir John Parsons, Sir William
Withers and Sir Richard Hoare (Luttrell, v, 541-542, 543). Upon the
death of Sir Robert Clayton in 1707 his seat was won by a Tory,
viz., Sir William Withers, who was lord mayor at the time (Luttrell,
vi, 236, 237). Withers had previously sat in the short parliament of
1701 (Feb.-Nov.) in the Whig interest (Luttrell, iv, 721).
