of his brother-vestrymen, if they were not, for it required theutmost determination on his part to check their disorderlymanifestations, and he had to appeal to them to receive the can-didates as gentlemen. Though Dr. Stephenson is not quite theman to fill so eminent a position, no one with a grain of sensecan say that he is not far superior to Dr. Whitmore in hismedical status. Dr. Stephenson’s abilities have obtained forhim the degree of Bachelor of Medicine of London, as well asLicentiate of the College of Physicians, and member of theCollege of Surgeons : no mean distinctions these for a medicaland scientific man. At all events, there are twenty-four ves-trymen who had the good sense to accord him their support,and we strongly advise Dr. Stephenson to go to the poll andclaim the election on the score of Dr. Whitmore’s ineligibilityas a candidate, as having been a vestryman within the last sixmonths.-St. Pancras News.
