assembly, especially when a great portion of it consisted
of Members who called themselves Liberals. A more
inquisitorial, unchristion-like, and dangerous measnre,
instead of doing any good, it would lay a trap for inno-
cent men, and encourage perjury. The Hon. and Gal-
lant Member moved that the Bill be read a third time
this day six months.
Mr. GEORGE HUDSON said he should vote
against the third reading, believing that the Bill
proposed to deal with the constituencies of England
in a most unfair manner. He was quite satisfied
it was not to the advantage of the country to pass such a
measure, and he hoped, when it reached the House of
Lords, it would be kicked out. He could not conceive a
greater insult to the constituencies of England than the
present Bill, because it assumed that most boroughs
were corrupt. Did corruption exist to such au extent
as to reqaire such a wholesale and sweeping remedy?
He believed not, and he therefore hoped the House would
not pass the Bill.
Mr. SIDNEY saw no reason whatever why the con-
stituencies of the country should be subject to the
injustice which was to be established by the Bill.
The effect of the measure would be to
encourage a set of persons who bad neither money nor
character to lose to come before the Committee for the
purpose of giving evidence against the purity of bo••
roughs. He was no advocate of corruption, but he should
oppose all Bills of this kind which were founded on such
an unnecessary assumption as to the existence of evils,
evils, and which gave powers far exceeding any that had
ever been granted under similar circumstances.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
