[13]It was decided that Boston would send twenty-five Representatives and the first election took place on Wednesday, May 12th, which resulted in the choice of eleven Federalists on their ticket and one Federalist (David Sears) from the Republican/Union slate. As a result, thirteen members still need to be chosen and a second election was ordered by the Mayor and Aldermen to be held on Saturday, May 15th. At this election twelve of the Federalist, having the required majority were elected, with one (William Goddard) falling short of the necessary number of votes needed.

[14]"The whole number of votes cast was 3406 - of which 1704 were necessary to make a choice." Columbian Centinel (Boston, MA). May 15, 1824.
