[3]The Constitutional Whig (Richmond, VA) and Richmond Enquirer (Richmond, VA) of April 13 report 130 votes for Ethelred H. Lundy and 77 votes each for William A. Wardlow and Thomas Spencer.
[4]"E. H. Lundy, William A. Wardlow and Thos. Spencer, were run as candidates, but no election. An elector was challenged by the Sheriff, who refused to make oath or affirmation that he possessed a freehold. The Sheriff refused to poll his vote, but upon consulting legal gentlemen, agreed to poll the vote separately, and mark it disputed, which was done. At the close of the election it appreared that there were for Wardlow 77 votes, and for Spencer 77; but if the disputed vote was counted, 78. The Sheriff was not confident that he, under these circumstances, ought to decide; and therefore the whole proceeding will be left to the next Legislature." Milton Gazette and Roanoke Advertiser (Milton, NC). April 15, 1824.
[5]The Norfolk and Portsmouth Herald (Norfolk, VA) reports 130 votes for Ethelred H. Lundy and 77 votes each for William Wardlaw and Thomas Spencer: "Messrs. Wardlaw and Spencer being tied, and the High Sheriff, from the circumstance of a doubtful vote being endorsed on Mr. Spencer's poll, which if good would put him one ahead, not conceiving himself at liberty to give the casting vote, the whole subject will be referred to the Legislature."
