the magistrates of Pools were county tuatistrates
Styring had touched a very special point io &Atm about
Use qualification, because the law laid down emphatically
that to be • county maciathata • persoo :oust holds
qualification, winch he thought was held by only lour
the magietrathe of Poole. Mr. Budge had modes streg

two of these the words " borough of Poole" were mei,
and in the other the word " borough " was struck tot,
and he woo told that the erasure had been made since the
discussion on this .autjert began. Hos contention ee,
that the magistrates of Poole were borough rust-
trate. This union was very dill. ent from that of
Southampton, which Lai • special ineorpeateek,
and the town with to-extensive WILL the 1...g.T.a. He
wished the matter to Lou thirty put and set at rest. Deer
