Excerpt from Reports of Contested Elections, in the House of Representatives, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, From 1780 to 1834, Inclusive: Compiled From the Journals, Files, and Printed Documents of the House, in Pursuance of an Order Thereof, and Under the Direction of a Committee Appointed for the Purpose
It has not been considered, by the committee, to be their duty, in virtue of the order abovementioned, to make any selection of the cases to be published, among those, which properly come under the denomination of contested elections; but merely to direct the man ner of their publication. So far as it has been found practicable, therefore, all the cases of that description have been reported, either briefly or in detail, according to their nature and importance. Some of the earlier decisions, though of no value, as precedents, have been shortly stated, for the purpose of showing the mode of proceed ing, in use at the time. Where a decision was found to involve no principle, and to have no bearing, in the way of illustration, upon any preceding or subsequent case, the name of the town and the decision have been mentioned, without any detail of the facts. The same course has been pursued, in regard to most of those, in which there was no report, or, in which, the report was general. Where the pa pers, relating to a contested election, are missing, that fact is stated. It is behaved, that some account has thus been given of all the cases, which have arisen since the adoption of the constitution.
