Ibe beer me witness that I have never detracted from the

and lower classm Is would be fully in me to

be answered at once by some hon. memb.r swag
°There is Russell, and Palmerston, and Derby," and man
sore might he aimed, but they were quite sufficient; but 1
wall say that I think it quite poesible to prove that both the

west into tee army to make it their protection, and WITS
likely to make better officers than the aristocracy so much
referred to. It is very much the feeblest to boast of what the
'aristocratic claws have don.;_ but do not let us forget that
our army, lad by a prince, and °dared by the dower of the
English nobility, formed no match for an army led by a
brewer and officered by men of lower Omni, ; that the Life
'Guards were no match for the Ironsidee of Oliver Cromwell.
Having said 53 numb, I beg 1 may not be accused of
attributing to the ballot all but miraculous qualitise, by
saying that it is the panacea for all evils. I have said no
such thing; but I say that without &chains in the electoral
system we cannot hope for an improvement in goverumeat
departments. I again ask for the ballot, for I conceive it to
be the only thing that can unlock the fetters of the elector,
and give him that weight in the administration of public
affairs which he is entitled to have by the constitution of his
awantry, and which has bun granted to him by the law.
Mr. ',BILDEN emended the motion. He bad long been
an advocate for the ballot. Having been in Belgium,
in America, in France, in Sardinia, and in SwPserland,
is all of which countries the practice of secret voting prr
veiled, he had aniformly found order, peace, and propriety
prevailing at the elections there; while in this eoentry, he
wee ashamed to say—and he spoke from experience—he had
observed disorder, violence, and intimidation prevailing to
as extent whioh was a disgrace to the nation. The bon.
member then entered into some details connected with his
ewe election for Slackbura to illustrate the neossaity for
adopting the ballot.
Lord SEYMOUR said he should not occupy the time of
the house more than a few minutes ea a question waich had
been so often and, as he thought, so amply discussed. The
bon. member who introduced the subject bad said much
about aristocracy on both aides of the bolus. He had listened
se his remarks on that point with some surprise ; for he
»reflected a time when the house of Berkeley were called
the Amara of Sande—(laughter) ; and when it was said
that the aristocratic arrogance which was exhibited in their
mode of cooduetingielections in their own part of the country
was not to be tolerated by the freemen of Ragland. (Hear,
hear) Now, however, a member of that house called the
aristocracy on the two aides of the house "the pot and the
kettle ;" what he himself was between the two he (Lind
Seymour) did not know. (Laughter.) Now, the Issas
ground on which be should give his vote against the mods
was, that publicity was the ammo of the reprosentedve
system. (Hear, hear.) Whatever rank or clue men Me
Imaged to, their conduct was freely canvassed by the
public and by the public press. The honourable
member said there was one particular action wield'
mast be concealed, and that attires happened to be the se-
duction; of a member of parliament. He wee to he batelied
is the dark—(laughter)—nobody was to know how be was
pod seed ; something or other writ to go into the ballot-
x, and a member of parliament wee to come oat, but they
were not to hear who gave the votes, or who was responsible
As the result. (" Hear, hear," from Lord J. Russell.)

to sleet this, a reform of our representative system is abso-

Den to serve in parliament-a right wrested from him by
the oligarchy, squirearchy. and the moneyed interest.

way had operated. I will gin the house some short spe-
ciosa of the replies received fres variants boroughs *see
the bill peeved, replies to questions which were framed and
seat set by the ballot committee. The questions were as
follows:-" 1. Is there any reason to believe that mosey
bribery, treating, or say other corrupt mesas wok place at
the late elegies for -; sad if so, to what extent?
2. Have any tenant., tradesmen, or other parties, whose
votes at former elections have been controlled by their
laadlords, customers. Yo , voted against them at the late
election for -- 1 3. If so, do you think the aew Bribery
and Intimidation Ain enabled them to vote more indices-
dead; ? 4. Was tbs election ' screw ' used as usual in the
maven ? " To these go/stoic the following replies amongst
many ethers, wore returned :-" Abingdon :-1. Bribery to
a eassiderable eitent. Many voters promised who sever
voted at all. 2 Intimidation. Landlords and customers
controlled as usual. 3. The ass set caused no perceptible
difference. 4. The screw was used in several places ; asp,-
oiady where those were debts." " Bedford :-1. Bribery to
a considerable extent. 2. Intimidation. The etas.
3. Effect of the late act perfectly nugatory.
4. Screw. More than ever by the Tories.' fA
"Barnstaple :-I.Bribery and Treatiog-There was no treat-
ise, nor is it known that money passrd. The last was an
unexceptionable section. There were nearly 300 bribed
electors who were menaced with disfranchisement by the late
Bribery Bill, out of a constituency little exceeding 800.
Their rage was excessive, and joy immoderate at their
escape. it was well understood among them that for that
tarn they would vote at the bidding of the mis who bad
bribed them before, and suffered on their account. 2. No
eases of intimidation, but plenty of exclusive dealing. 3.
Titanic act laughed at openly by the corrupt freemen. 4.
Berm. ;No instances ; trona the above MINS."
"Frame:-1. Bribery -Confidently asserted to have
takes place. The tact unable to be proved. 2,
latimidatios of customers excessive on the whig-
tory side, and on the liberal side exclusive dealing with
publicans carried to a vast extent. Instances of ruin eta be
produced and substantiated. (Rear, hear.) 3. The lets
act a cc:splits farce. 4. The screw, instead of being dimi-
nished, tightened one more turn than ever." " Liverpool :
1. Bribery.-Certainly not by the liberals, and no proof of
any by totes. 2, Intimidsoon.-In so largo a constituency
can give no reply as yet. After an analysis of the voting
now in preparation, we may perhaps give an opinion. 3.
The new act, of coarse, can in no way touch uadus in-
fluence, change of tradesmen, exclusive dealing,
&a. ; but as regards the sale of votes, we ima-
gine the fear of its operation acted beneficially.
4. The screw-There was little or no canvass on
either side. The parties were not prepared with books,
which form the necessary machinery for putting on the
screw." " Maldon: 1. No doubt cf bribery among the
agricultural labourers, although done with great castor'.
2. Intimidation-To a marked extent. One gentleman is
particular greatly distinguished himself by driving to a
cargo of live voting stock, and standing by to see that each
paid his vote. 3 The new set-Hubbub. (Laughter.)
4. The screw-As bad as ever." "Norwich: 1. Bribery.
-Yes ; in suss from ss. to 20i. No competitor ; hence the
market dell. (A laugh.) Z. Intimidation. - None that,
I am aware of, nalem by the scam. 3. New oats'
-As far ae iatimidstion goes, mere waste paps.
4. The screw-Yes; by both parties. The whole seiesm
of electioneering rests upon the knowledge of " isibesems.'"'
" Portsmouth: 1. No treating or bribery. 2. fat:male&
-Government influence wr powerful that there has bees so
contested election for the last 18 years. 3. The last est-
No trial of it. No man is his sense* would resort to it for
intimidation. 4. Screw.-The government people gave it
just one turn when a eentest was threatened. (A laugh.)"
" Saadi/lead: 1. Bribery.-We have all the symptoms of
the disease, but are unable to prove it. 2. Istimi•ratioo.-
Yes ; we can prove that. 3. New act won't reach ineimida-
ties ; and bribery mast be oyes, to suffer from it. 4.
Spew.-Yes, to a great extent."
Mr. PEACOCKS asked, in references to Mahlon, when
the hos. member obtained hi/information, and whether he
lid proper testimmy as to the accuracy of his statements.
Mr. BERKELEY continued. All the evidence is at the
eervise of the hos. member, and if the hon. gentleman will
move for a committee, I will pledge my word that the evi-
doom shall be placed on oath before him. (Hear, hear.)

had hen applied to the aristocracy. He did not believe
that the retail dealers were essentially • corrupt body—
if they were, the menses was all the more desirable ; for if •
body of men were open to corrupt influence, any measure
which would remove and do away with that corrupt infla-
mes must be derreble. They were told that publicity
wee the essence of representation, he granted that it wee.
They In that house represented the coustituencies of the
United Kingdom, and every vote and act of theirs ought to
be published mast distinctly, in order that those they »pre-
sented might see how they discharged the duty es-
crested to them. Who did the electors represent? It
might is some seem be said that they represented the
leountry ; but that was not a trust delegated to them by
election. The wisdom of the legislature had decided that cer-
tain persons should exercise the right of votingoand the court.
try could not hold them responsible for the manner in which
they exercised it. The noble lord spoke of the difficulty
which existed in genie,/ voters to come to thus poll. Of course
*ere was that difficulty—(chars)—and there would be, so
beg se the sy. tem of intimidation prevailed. (Cheers.) He

rasa difficulty was, not that the electoral body
I sow indifferent to the exercise of their privileges, hut
that they were afraid to exercise them as their conscience
MI sore of duty dictated. He would not detain the house
wiper. but he bad boon unwilling to give a silent vote. He
esppeeted the motion, because he desired to relieve a large
Member of his fellow-subjects from the oppression and Intl-
Midation to wbieh they were now subjected. (Cheers.)
Mr. BENTINCK thought the bon. gentleman ought to
the name of the writer of the letter—(hear, hear)—that
buses might know whether it came from one of the
brewed holies they had heard described, or from one of the
pnee-mindet liberals on the ether side of the house. If the
sane was not gives, both sides might take the benefit of
tithe doubt. Referee*, had been made to the difficulty of
bringing voters to the poll; that was not to be ascribed to
intimidation alma. After the late election in Norwich one
dam liberal papers In that city attributed the triumph of
thetteniervetive candidate to the fact that the liberal voters
el do lower classes could not be induced to come to the poll,
bears there was no one to buy their votes. He would not
enter bete may of the arguments so often discussed, bat be
believed that If the h use adopted the measure the result
mold be to perpetuate the system of bribery. (Cries of
*Divide.")
Mr. P. O'BRIEN could satisfy the curiosity of the noble
lard as to the position hold by the hon. member for Bristol,
between the pot mid the kettle. The hon. member was the
clam; he represented the brim of public opinion, whisk
must be brought to bear strongly on the house before they
Gould hope to carry the measure. He wished to say a few
seeds as to the manner in which the proposed measure
Maid affect the part of the country with which he was
wee immediately connected. In Ireland registration was
se. compulsory. Formerly, ifs man feared intimidation he
might avoid. the difficulty by refraining from registering;
but under the new act he was placed on the list of voters
whether he wished or not. He would mention a few cases
et intimidation which bad taken place in the county
In represented. Oa. MA who voted for him had
six distresese made on his for von-payment of
rent within sin months, yet when the case came
In be tried at the quarter sessions, it was found he did
set owe • half-year's rent. In another ease, an honest,
industrious msu, who had saved a little money, purchased
ea
interest under Lord Norbuty. At the time he wee not
aware that the original contained a co aaaaa t not to assign.
He entered into promotion, and was not disturbed until, at
the last elation, he bad the misfortune to sots for him (Mr.
O'Brien) when an ejectment on the title was at once brought,
and the poor man was put to great expense. Bulk men
required the protection of the ballot. It ins noto-
rious that, since the last Cavan election, • large
number of voters had received notice to quit,
for having dared to vote according to their conscious.
This was not a retail desler's question, but • fsrmer's
question, and on the part of three at least who had no
option but to have the franchise en was the case in Ireland,
he claimed the peotestios of the ballot. (Hear.)
Mr. BLAND said he should vote for the motion, on the
ground that the ballot rem necessary to counteract intimi-
dation. He instanced a cam in which a member of that
hones (Mr. Ormsby Gore) returned to a voter in Sligo
his rent, and • memorial which he presented to him, on the
ground that he wished to have no further connexion with the
puma whe voted against his friend. (Hear.) In the
minty of Caves, one under agent boasted that he had
served MO nottees for Lord Farnham and Mr. Nesbitt.
He thought it absolutely necessary that the protection of
the ballot should be extended to persons who voted as their
mosecienim directed them. (Cheers.)
Sir 8. BIONOLD said that there war not the slightest
foundation for saying that he weed his election for the city
of Norwich either to bribery or intimidation—(hear, hear)
—and no inhabitant of that town would saswer the hos.
member for Bristol's questions in any other terms. He owed
his return to the circumstance that he was an active citizen
for that city for forty years, and had gained the good opinion
of the constituency. (Hem, bear.)
Mr. R. BURROWES said that be bad certainly seen the
[ease of roastieg • voter—mentioned by the boo• member for
Bristol—in the pipers. He made inquiry respeetiog it—
(laughter)—aad could not find the least foundation for sash

(Laughter.) With regard to Sir J. Young directing his
I tenants to vote for a eseservative, he begged to inform the
has. gentleman that Sir J. Toone in no way interfered with

lb. MICHELL moved as:addition to the motion of the
