COUNTY AND BOROUGH FRANCIiIBI.
Mr. L. KING, in asking the house for ham to bawls •
bill to make the franchise in comes in England and Wales
the sans as that la boroughs, by giving the right elm ..L ft
to all occupiers of tarnemente of the annual value of Iffe
said that the hems had already decided by a orneigegabli;
majority that the extension of the franchise was •iel
for the we:fare of Ireland, that every occupier ofe:ala
tenement should have a vote, and he was not asking fee •
greater extension of suffrage in Ragland. Objections, net
arguments, were admitted against his proposition. It gas
stid that It was to be regretted that he made such a maks
because it resembled the charter; as if any pies '
form would net reseals the charter. When the houseneked
at the increased intelligence and {enterprise of the people,
they ought to alter their system, for the people had Misspell
their ideas. It was an act of injustice that a person paying
nearly 604 a year M rent was not represented at all. Tax.
ation and representation ought to go together ; it was the
great principle of our constitution that no man should be
taxed unless he was represented ; and yet people were taxed
—and heavily too—without Is, jog represented. By the pro.
petty tax, the income tax, and the window tax, people
contributed largely to the expenditure of the state. A man
might have forty different estates in forty different counties
of the annual value of 405., for sack of which he had a vote
a year, whilst a person who had a house of the annual
vales of 401. was not represented. A 101. householder at
Hafer was entitled to vote for the thancellor of the Ex-
chequer; why should not a 401. householder at Dewsbury be
entitled to vote for the hon. member for the West Rica., ?
The how. member emended by moving for leave to bring
in a WI.

Mr. HUME seconded the motion. The noble lord who
had brought la the Reform Bill in the year 1830 had him-
self admitted that he wee prepared to extend it, bat he
had not stated to what 'Resat he would go. lie seemed
to think that the people could not be trusted. He
(Mr. flame) thought that the more the people were treated
the more they would act faithfully towards their country ;
they would be better prepared to maintain the hbertior
which they enjoyed. tie raked the noble lord in what way
could further progress be made with so little risk and danger
as in that way which the hon. member had now pointed
out ? There was a variety of qualifications amounting to
some 70 or 80, by which people were entitled to vote in this
country. lie did not ask to extend or increase
the number of anomalies, bat one of the quail-
fie-diens being that 101. householders should have a
vote in a borough, he only asked the house to extend
the same privilege to counties. There could not be
any risk. The parties who occupied 101. house in
the county towns were superior to the men who
voted for a 101. franchise in the country. He held the mo-
tion of the how. member to be one which the house might
safely adopt, without alarming the most timid reformer.
All the world was extending its representative government.
The motion was extremely well planned, and he hoped
the honourable and gallant member for Westminster would
allow the division to be taken simply on this motion, and
therefore he would strongly advise the gallant officer to post-
pone his motion.
On the question that leave be given to bring in the bill,
Sir D. L. EVANS said that with respect to the observa-
tions of the hon. member foe Montrose he should comply
with his wishes, al 'h his motion had been submitted to
the house as ea oirir motion two or throe months beton
the motion of the boa. amber. His motion was :
