	In the general election of 1865 there was great rivalry in Boston between the two Liberal candidates, the retiring second Member (Boston returned two MPs at the time), [[Wikipedia:Meaburn Staniland\|Meaburn Staniland]], and Thomas Parry an old business associate of [[Wikipedia:Herbert Ingram\|Herbert Ingram]] (a former MP for Boston who had died in office in 1860). [[Wikipedia:John Malcolm, 1st Baron Malcolm\|John W Malcolm]] was returned with the largest majority the borough had ever known, the second seat going to Parry, who polled only a dozen more votes than Staniland. Staniland petitioned against Parry's return, accusing him of bribery, treating and undue influence.

Staniland petitioned against Parry's return, accusing him of bribery, treating and undue influence.

	On 21 March 1866 a Commons' select committee declared Staniland duly elected, the news was telegraphed to Boston, and when the new Member returned by train to the town that evening he was met by an angry mob. His cab was got safely away only after an desperate 'whipping' by the driver, and the crowd gave chase towards Staniland's home in London Road. Windows in the homes of some of his supporters were smashed on the way but his pursuers dispersed when confronted by Supt. Manton's men (members of the county constabulary) near 'The Folly'. The police hero of the day was PC Joel Smith who 'taking his stand at the hand-gate at the Skirbeck Quarter railway gates, drew his truncheon as they came up and began to wield it about their heads and shoulders with such terrible force that they were perfectly dismayed and ran back as if they were pursued by a regiment of soldiers'. Holland quarter sessions awarded Smith £2 for his 'meritorious conduct'.

[[Wikipedia:Parts of Holland\|Holland]] quarter sessions awarded Smith £2 for his 'meritorious conduct'.

	On 8 March 1867, by pre-arrangement, Staniland resigned and his Westminster seat was taken by Parry who was returned unopposed at a by-election on 16 March. Staniland had agreed to this, he revealed later, only 'to save his native town the disgrace of disenfranchisement'. The feud between the two men was never resolved.
