9 One of Northampton's seats, e.g., is listed as controlled by Earl Northampton in 1784. This ascription is defensible given the return of the earl's eldest son in each election between 1784 and 1796, but even Cannon admits the problem with counting such a populous constituency with unpredictable habits among those in the pocket of some peer.
