NOTTINGHAM.

A requisition containing 1,800 signatures was pre-
sented to Mr. Saml. Morley, of London, at a crowded
meeting of Liberals held at the Exchange-room,
Nottingham, on Monday night, requesting that gen-
tleman to become a candidate for the suffrages of the
electors at the next election. Upon receiving the re-
quisition Mr. Morley said he would support the £6
franchise, but merely as an instalment, as there were
thousands of men who did not choose to rent houses,
but who lived in lodgings, who were in every way
qualified to vote. He was a supporter of the ballot,
and it was a mockery for well-to-do people to call

it un-English. It was a protection to small trades-
men and others who dare not record their votes as
they could wish. He was an advocate also of less legis-
lation, for he believed it was true wisdom to lessen the
f unctions of Government, inasmuch as whatever work
it did it did badly and more expensively than the same
work could be done by other people. He was op-
posed to the educational grant as it was now ad- I
ministered, inasmuch as it scarcely touched the
poor, whereas the sons of farmers and shopkeepers
were being educated by it all over the kingdom. He
would not support the Permissive Bill, as he did not
think it right that the minority should force the
majority. He was opposed to the law of primogeni-
ture ; it pauperized younger sons, and the public
offices were filled by them to the detriment of old
and faithful servants of the Crown. Let them look
at the Edmunds scandal, where all around was
rottenness. Lord Derby dared not throw dirt upon
the party opposite him, as he knew there was plenty
on his own side. As to the question of capital
punishment, he was of opinion that the time had
come for the mitigation of the extreme penalty,
except, perhaps, in cases of murder under aggra-
vated circumstances. He thought cheap law was

much wanted, and if the people were wise we should
have fewer lawyers. He thought our national ex-
penditure was very wicked. He was in favour of
direct taxation. He would like a man of £lOO,OOO
a year to pay 100 times more than the man of
£l,OOO a year. He was opposed to the alliance of
the Church with the State, and believed it would
add enormously to the Church's power if it were
separated. In conclusion, Mr. Morley acceded to
the request to be put forward as a candidate.
