Excerpt from Government, Conduct, and Example
It may not be unnecessary to notice the principal alterations which this Bill has made in the Constitution.
Every man who is 21 years of age is a voter, if he has occupied a House for 12 months, and paid poor rates. Lodgers occupying Rooms at the annual rate of Ten Pounds and upwards, after two years' Occupation, are also voters. County voters have their franchise lowered from £50 to £12. The four largest towns in the kingdom have had three members given them; but each voter can only vote for two Candidates and all Boroughs of less than population in 1 86 1 are to return only one member.
I trust that my friends, who have perused the first edition, will consider the revision to which I have subjected this to be an improvement.
