" In many.cases connected with the right of rotiag, on all subjects, the opinion of the Legislature has been most de ' eisively expressed. It has been su in all the statutes already alluded to; in that which regulated the votes io the General Courts of the East India Company, where not only an addi tional qualification in value of stock, but a certain term of possession was required; and even in many matters of less apparent importance. With , respect to the making- of occa sional votes for Towns and Boroughs for the pm - poses of Par liamentary Elections, the law was most clearly and ably ex pressed before the Revolution by the then Chief Justice, Sir FraneisTemberton, in a case, the report of which- was drawn up by the great Lord Somers, and was published in the col lection of tracts which bears his name*. That was an action brought by Denzill Onslow, Esq. against William Rapley, the returning officer of the borough of Haslemere, for a false return. It' Was tried at the Kings ton Assizes, in July, /681. • Among the facts proved on the past of the plaintiff, it appeared souse of the voters were not real burgage tenants, and that if any conveyances had been made to them of burgage lands, they were lately made, and fraudulently contrived to make votes against an election. Thu had,heeu made after the testwof the Parliament writ, and three others to answer an.eleetion purpose five years before. In the making of these qualifications, several instances of gross contrivance were strewn, ansi the effect. was aided, by proving that ten or twelve such conveyances had been made for the purposes of a former Election, by the Patron of the .Borough, and had hero given up to him, after the Election Was over. :h of light Z.NTLEM T HE confidence which 1 expressed on Tuesday from the Hustings, that a continuance of your exer tions in my behalf wonitt be- crowned with success, is in no degree shaken . by the result of this day's pull.

EDITOR —Before your sensible Correspon dent, whose Essays are en , it led "Tu st R e," proceeds further with his subject, I beg to draw his attention to the abominable abuses which pre vail in Close Boroughs, by creating occasional or illegal voters usually called FAGGOTS. The abuse is so extensive arid so corrupt—it has so frequently been animadverted on by the VeneraKe Sages of the Law, and has lecently been sb much dis cussed, that it is to be expected some statutable regulation'will be introduced in the ensuing Par liament, to put an end to ihe practice altogether. The policy and necessity of ,preventing sionality has been acknowledged by the late Bill respecting Seditious Meetingt, In which there is a clause, enacting, " That no one shall attend a Political Meeting out of the County in which he reside*, Unless he h as had a Freehold qualification of .501. per annum, one whole year, in the County wherein such Meeting is to be held," • Front the cool, dispassionate manner in which your Correspondent appears inclined to discuss . the question of REFORM, I am induced to subini , to him these hints, that his attention may be di• reacd to one of the greatest evils which now pre vails in Close Boroughs ; namely, the practice of creating fictitious votes on the ere of . au Election.

IT is notorious that Coughs and Colds are ge nerally the forerunners of that most deplorable Disor der ConSumption, and well would it be for ainili‘rs, did they but pay a.little more attention to these Complaints before they assume a character which may battle all the powers of Medicine to remedy. The Proprietors of THE PECTORAL BALSAM OF COLTSFOOT urge, upon all those labouring under recent Coughs and I;olds, to. make use of this Medicine ; in a few hours, frequentl,' they yield to its efficacy. Those afflicted with old Coughs, recent and long standing Astlunas, Wheys ings, Hoarseness, Shortness of Breath, &c. should be in duced to make trial of this Medicine. Numbers have expe rienced its good effects, indeed, the Pectoral Balsam of Colts foot tae reached a distinction which nothing but its merits - can support. By an easy and safe expectoration, it removes viscid and concealed phlegm, gives greater liberty of breath ing, strngthens the stomach, promotes appetite, thus istford ing to the afflicted individual that relief and comfort which he so much needs. As a remedy for the Hooping Cough it is highly and deservedly celebrated. Nothing can he better adapted to prevent the ill effects of damp air and foggy weather ; not to take when wet, damp, or wet in the feet, cold, •or shivering in the bOdy, after a shower of rain, &c. &c.

" It would he a waste of time 'and of labour to chew that 'such practices do exist and have'long existed. Their pre valence is proved by numer ous instances, ancient and modern recorded in the Journals of the House; and the personal knowledge and information of every Member must flunk!' satisfactory testimony to their minds without the statemen of particular facts, or recurrence to recent instances. • "It is not the object of this Bill to introduce any innova tion in principle, to invalidate any charter or preset iption, or to destroy any established right. It makes' no attempt at ge neral reform, or the subversion of any known or established franchise, hut has for its aim and end the simple and satis ractory design of making the rule of election more per feet, and more consonant to general principle, by removing, one dangerous and invidious anomaly, whiehsenables, the pro. prietors 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 Parliament, particularly by stime of those which are referred to in the preamble 'to the present I3ill, guarded against with all the vigilance of the Legislature, and all the power of the law. It proposes to effect this beneficial object, by requiring the voters in towns and boroughs to tals'e 'an oath, previous to their voting, similar in every respect to that imposed by the 18 Geo. 11. c. 18. s. 1., and 19 Geo. II : c. 28. s. I. on Electors of Members of Parliament for Coun ties, and for Cities and Towns which are Counties of them selves, except that the oath prescribed by the present Bill does not specify the value of the freehold, and consequently the right of voting in the boroughs and towns to which this Bill applies will remain unchanged and unaltered. • " Upon principle, nothing could be more absttrd.than to state that in a place, where ',by charter or by custom certain persons qua lifi ed in a prescribed manner . are entitled to select an individual to represent the community in the House of Commons, some person or persons, possessing a large''share of that which constitutes the qualification, may by a mere colour able or pretended distribution of it among friends or depend ants taken for the purpose without any beneficial interest or title whatever, over-rule and destroy the will and franchise of others, who have a real, permanent, and incontestible inte rest and possession ; and who, by every rule of law, of jus tice, aurl'of common sense, ought to return the representa tive. It is not more unjust, nor more destructive of the piln ciples of the Constitution, to propose that numbers, without regard to property, shall return the Members to Parliament, than that property shall be so used as, by creating fictitious or occasional numbers, to annul the rights of those, who, al. though duly qualified to vote, have not such a redundant property as will enable them at a giver] moment to qualify great numbers, or such an influence as, if they should qua lify them, would make them certain that such persons would conform to their wishes. " If the onlyadvantage to be gained by the present 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 importance, especially in a community where all men reason on their rights, and where every departure 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 ima ginary, nor Ii e wrongs speculative. It is known that the making of occasional and fraudulent votes to,Support a parti cular 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 tile law seas unknown or not sufficiently declared, but because in all attempts at correcting abuses or establishing systems, it has beets found that the earliest attempts were defective, and that the first enactments required frequent alterations and additions before the views of the Legislature could be fully acompllshed. " Before the Grenville _Act had fixed the practice of Parlia ment on contested ( - Auctions on the basis of purity and cor rectness, and even before the Revolution bad established the general principles of representation, the law was strongly and clearly expressed against the making of occasional votes " This evidence making the impression on the Court which Was so well calculated to produce, the Reg:older of the Bo rough, who was of Counsel for the Defendant, had the im prudence;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, ' the Court seemed very angry, Hod wondered that any one, especially of the gown, should say so; and said, Du you think our Government bas no better Con stitution ?' With Which the Gentleman not being satisfied, he was 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 fictitious votes at former elections the Patron of the Bqrough attempted to say some thing in the way of excuse, but • the Court told him ' It was too bad to be excused.' " Under the direction of the Learned Judge, a verdict was siren for the plaintiff ; and in the course Of the evidence, the Court having observed one indivklual to be so active and busy iu the, cause as to leave no doubt of his being an instrument in the illegal transactions which were disclosed, compelled him to give sureties to appear in the following term, to an swer to an•information for a misdemeanour, and bound over Mr. onslow to prosecute him. " This case the Learned Reporter justly entitles memo rable case.' During the whole trial, he says; the cause was managed with great care and circumspection, the Court de claring- it was of great weight; as great as any that ever came there to be tried. " The Court," he adds, ' had great reason to hew an ex iraordinary abhorreucy of such practices, for that the :Ms- Chief is grown almost general., and •to rectify and punish which abuses the HOUSE' of Commons in every Parliament are compelled to pass more than half their But be cause,' he continues, here is by statute law no particular provision made against such practices, many by sordid means haVe endeavoured to perplex Elections and debauch Parlia ments, and think themselves nut punishable for it. This case and the reason ; of it will better inform them, that by the rule of the Common Law an offence of this nature is punish able; for will any man think that small frauds, cheats, and practices should undergo a censure in the ordinary Courts of Justice, and not such great violations of truth and honesty in matters of the greatest moment?' " Such were the declarations of the law, and the reflections arising from them, at a period when the rule of the Constitu2- tion was not perfectly fixed, and when the independence of the Judges was not secured by Making them immoveable, 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 debate; hut in practice they arc set at nought at every '1 he difficulties and disadvantages under which a plaintiff or prosecutor must lie who'should institute. a suit EleCtion. for any of these malpractices, deter them from going into Courts; while the Patrons of Boroughs, unawed by decfara lions which impunity teaches them to disregard, and eucou- raged perhaps by the accidental omission of the particular right of voting pointed at in - the present Bill, hare gone Liu violating the law, and deriding its prohibitions. "The present Bill, therefore, is framed for the purpose of gising .effect to the law as declared, not by Sir Francis Pemberton alone, bat by many othergreat men on the Bench, and in arid out of Parliament, since his time; for the purpose of bringing the practice of the Lase of Election's to that state of uniformity in which all reasoning lien delight, and in which alone true justice can be found ; and tor the purpose of repressing abuses ton notorious to be denied, ai?d too gross to be defended.
