The parsons were frequently to be seen deeply engrossed in party politics, canvass- ing their parishioners, encouraging mobs, and frequenting taverns and alehouses. In consequence, their names were bandied, and their foibles exposed in coarse electioneering squibs, in a manner far from creditable to themselves or favour- able to the cause of religion. Judge Curwen, being on a visit to Exeter in the early part of November 1776, was a witness of the modes and methods which the 1,400 free and enli...ghtened electors of that venerable city pursued in the contest of two competitors. Baring and Cholwich, for the representation of it in Parliament in the room of Waters. Amongst other instances of management in electioneering (he wrote in his Journal) is the practice of closeting and locking up, beds being provided in secure apartments to prevent the voters being spirited away to the other side, of which there have been some instances, after the expense of fetching them in from distant parts. The majority of the City Chamber espoused the cause of Cholwich.
