THE ELECTORS' OATH BILL, Which stands fur a second reading, on Thursday next In many cases connected with the right or vot ing, on all subjects, the opinion of the Legisla ture haS been Most decisively expresSed. It has been so in all the statutes already Yltu,it d to; in that which regidated the voles in the General Courts of the East India Company, where not ortl'y art additional epi,lification in the value of stock, but a certain term of possesSion, was required, and even in many matters of less apparent iMportauce. With respect to the mak ing-of occasional votes r Towns and Rorongbi, for the purposes of Parlia mentary Elections, the Law was most clearly and ably expressed before the Revolmion, by the then Chief Justiice, Sir Francis Pemberton, in a case , „ the report of which •Wes drawn up - by the grea,C Lord; Somers, and was published in the collection of Ti acts which bears his name.* The professed intension and obvious design of this Bill is to prevent the abuses which at pre sent prevail in those boroughs and towns where the right of voting is in freeholders either resiant or not, and where, for the purposes of an election, new freeholders are created up to, and some times after, the issuing of the writs for such election. 13'y Order, CHARLES SMART, Sec. It would be a waste of time and of labour to skew that such practices,do exist and have long existed. Their prevalence is proved by numerous instances, ancient and modern, recorded in the Journals of the House; and the personal know ledge and information of every Member must fur nish satisfactory testimony to their minds without the statement of particular facts, or recurrence to recent instances• That - was an action brought by Denzill Ons low, Esq. against William Uapley, the Return ing Officer of the Borough of Hasletuere, for a false return. It was tried at the Kingston M sizes in July 1681. Among the facts proved on the part of the plaintiff, it appeared sonic of the voters were not real burgage tenants, and that if any conveyances had been wade to them of bur gage lands, ;hey were lately made, and fraudu lently contrived to make votes against an election,--. Two had been made after the to to of the Pat lia ment writ, and three others to answer all elec tion purpose five years before. In the making of these qualifications, several instances, of gross contrivance were shewn, and the eff,ct was aid ed by proving that ten or twelve such convey ances had been made for the purposes of a former election by the patron of the borough, and had been given up to him after the election was over. This evidence making the impres , ion on the Court which it was so well calculated to produce, the Recorder of the borough, who was of Coun sel for the defendant, had the imprudence to justify the proceedings; and to say, it was part of the constitution of our government to do so.— " At this," says the Learned Reporter, CoUrt seemed very angry, and wondered that any one, especially of the gown, should say so ; and said, Do you think our government has no better consti ution ?" With which the Gentleman not bein g s at isfied, be sas told by the Court,'' he deserved to be taken notice of for saying so, and that he seemed to have advised the thing done." Respecting the making of fictitions votes at for mer elections, the Patron of the Borough at tempted to say something in the way of excuse, but the Coilt t told hint " It was too bad to be excused."

It makes no attempt at general reform, or the subversion of any known or established fran chise, but has for its aim and end the simple and satisfactory design of making the rule of election more perfect, and more consonant to general principle, by removing one dangerous and invi dious anomaly, which enables the proprietors of freeholds in certain parts of England to create voters for occasional purposes, by means which have at all times been declared to be contrary to law; and have been by repeated Acts of Parlia ment, particularly by some of those which are re ferred to in the preamble to the present Bill, guarded against with all the vigilance of the Le gislatnre, and all the power of the law. It p.m poses to effect this beneficial object by requiring the voters in towns and boroughs to take an oath, previous to their voting, similar in every respect to that imposed by the 18 Gen. 11. c. 18. sec. 1., and 19 Geo. 11. c. 28. sec. 1. on electors of Mem bers of Parliament for counties and for cities and towns which are counties of themselves, except that the oath prescribed by the present Bill does not specify the value of the freehold, and conse quently THR RIGHT OF VOTING in the boroughs and towns -to which this Bill applies will REMAIN UNCHANGED AND UNALTERED.

Duty included. ue has it 131Aek luk St,,t4P• Upon principle - , nothing could be more absurd than to state, that in a place, where, by charter or by custom, certain persons qualified in a prescrib ed manner are entitled to select an individual to represent the community in the House of Com mons, some person or persons, possessing a • large share of that which constitutes the qua& ficatiort, may, by a mere colourable or pretended distribution of it among friends or dependants, taken for the purpose without any beneficial interest or title whatever, over-rule and de stroy, the will and franchise of others who have a real, permanent, and incontestible interest and possession ; and who, by every rule of law, of justice, and of common sense, ought to return the representative. It is not more unjust, nor more destructive of the principles of the Consti tution, to propose that numbers, without regard to'property, shall return the Members to Parlia ment, than that property shall be so used as by creating fictitious or occasional numbers to annul the rights of those, who, although duly qualified to vote, have not such a redundant property as will enable them at a given moment to qualify .great numbers, or such an influence as, if they 'should qualify them, would make them certain that such persons would conform to their wishes. If the only advantage to he gained by the pre sent Bill were the establishment of an uniform system, and the placing of all rights on an equal footing, such an advantage is of very high im portance; especially in a community where all •tireti reason on their rights, and whet:: every de parture from - the general system, or the declared law,• is viewed as an attempt to commit some wrong, or to invade the liberties and rights of the subject. But in the present case the evils are not imaginary, nor the wrocgs speculative. It is known that the making of occasional and fraudulent votes to support a particular person, or to answer a present purpose, has been the source of much real injustice ; and', if it has not been, in all particulars, repressed by Parliament, it has not been because the law was unknown or not sufficiently declared, but because in all attempts at correcting abuses - or establishing systems, it has been found that the earliest attempts were de fective, and that the first enactments required fre quent alterations and additions belore the views of the legislature could be fully accomplished. Under the direction of the Learned Judge, a verdict was given fur the plaintiff ; and in the course of the evidence, the Court baying observ ed one individual to be so active and busy in the cause as'to‘leave no doubt of his being an instru ment in the illegal transactions which were dis closed, compelled him to give sureties to appear in the following term, to answer to an informa-i !ion for a mihdemeanonr, and bound over Mr. Onslow to prosecute him. This case the Learned Reporter justly entitles " a memorable case." During the tvhole trial, he says, the cause was managed with great care and circumspection, the Court declaring it was of great weigbt ; as great as any that ever came there to be tried. • " The Court," he adds, " had great reason to stew an extraordinary abhorrency of such. practices, for that the mischief is grown almost general, and to rectify and punish which abuses the House of Commons in every Parliament are compelled to pass more lima half their time."— ." But because," he continues, " here is by sta tute law no particular provision made against such practices, many by sordid means have en deavoured to perplex elections and debauch Parl;a meats, and think.themselves not punishable for it. This case and the reason of it will better inforns them, that by the rule of the common law an of fence of this nature is punishable; for will any. .man think that small frauds, cheats, and prac tices should undergo a censure in the ordinary courts of justice, and not such great violations of truth and honesty in matters of the greatest mo. went ?" Such were the declarations of the law, and the reflections arising from them, at a period when, the rule of the Constitution was not perfectly fixed, and when the independence of the Judges was not secured by making them irremoveable while they should conduct themselves properly. Since that period, none of the doctrines thus laid down and promulgated have been over-ruled, or even controverted in debate ; but in practice they are set at nought at every election. The difficulties anti disadvantages under which a plain tiff or prosecutor must lie who should institute a, suit for any of these mal-practices, deter them from going. into Courts ; while the patrons of . boroughs, unawed by declarations which impuni ty teaches them to disregard, anti encouraged per haps by the accidental omission of the particular right of voting poiwed at in the present Bill, have gone on violating the law, and deriding its prohibitions. . The present Bill, therefore, is framed for the purpose of giving effect to the law as declared, not by Sir Francis Pemberton alone, but by many other great men on the Bench, and in and out of Parliament, since his time, for the purpose of bringing the practice of the Law of Elections to that state of uniforniity in which all reasoning tnen delight, anti in which alone true justice cars be found ; and for the purpose of repressing abuses too notorious to be denied, and too gross to be defended. Before the Grenville Act had fixed the practice of Pot liftmen: on contested Elections on the basis of purity and correctness, and even before the Revolution had established the general prinfiples of Representation, the Law was strongly and c l ea rly expressed against thenraking of occasional votes in any place, and under any form„ for the purpose of giving ascendancy to any individual or party iu E'ections; whether it ‘vere of Member of Parlia ment, or to any situation of credit and trust. ,Con sequently, the various enactments relating to the splitting of freeholds, and for the prevent s ion of fraud and oceasionality, which passed from the Revolution to our own tittles, were neverconsi tiered as privations or undue restrictions, but merely as the efforts of wisdom and integrity, ma tured by experience, to bring back the system to the stag uf prity in which the law hatl.placctl In the first edition in Vol. I. p. 374; in th. late edition by Walter Scott, it) Vol. VIII. p. 270.
