The nomination of candidates to represent this borough in Parliament having been appointed to take place on Friday, a considerable number of persons assembled on the Parade . . . Unfortunately, however, Mr. Labouchere had been called to town the day before to attend the sick-bed of a parent, who it was feared was near death; and in consquence he was not present.

TAUNTON.
Borough Election. -- The nomination here took place on Friday. Mr. Labouchere, one of the old members, was unable to be present, having been summoned to London on the previous day in consquence of the sudden illness of his mother.
--- "Bridgwater Mercury" 25 May 1859, page 8:
We are sorry to hear that Mrs. Labouchere, mother of the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, died on Sunday last, at her residence, in Upper Grosvenor-street, London. It will be remembered that the illness of his parent was the cause of Mr. Labouchere's absence from the hustings at the late Parliamentary election for this borough. The deceased lady had reached the venerable age of 89 years.
