it:irteen persons.—(Loed cheers.) Now, if they
islied to part with all control over these matters...
,f they wished to pass a Bill to which the other
El Also of Parliament would not give its consent, that must
he a Bill in which these franchises were in future to be
;1. fined and settled by the Judges of the Courts of Law.
1,,r if the franchises were to be thus submitted to the de-
cision of the Judges, he could well imagine than in no
ong course of time. they would be limited to a very small
:lass of persons.—(Hear, hear.) It was very well to sal
that when a man has not a vote, because be does not really
ossess the estate which by the law he was meant to pos. •
se, and yet by fraud is placed upon the register, that be
'could be taken off; but they must, on their part, take cars
11. at, in erecting a barrier against the fraudulent, tbey
not also erect a barrier against the real bong Pie
oster.—_hear, hear, and cheers.) Now bow was a man
o exerei.se the franchise, who, conceiving himself to be a
:oter in Ireland, but happening not to be connected scab
,ny strong, and wealthy, and powerful landlord, but living
n his own independent property, and who reading their
lets of 1829 and 1832, conceived that he had a vote, and
vent to the Assistint-Barrister, who allowed his votebe
vas then appealed against, and put to the expense of going
o the Judge of Assize. That Judge might be ono who
,ad an opinion in his favour, and his vote might be allowed
her', but the same ptocess was to be repeated nett re'
He might find an Assistant Barrister, or if he went to the
assize town, he might fled a Judge, who put a differs
nt interpretation upon the law, whose arguments
. f.e,.-bolder might be enabled to follow, and who decided
hat he had no vote ; and thus, after considerable loss, be
and himself deprived of the power of giving his vote.
lie ( Lord John Russell) said that when his neigh'
)ours saw that--when they saw that the .009
esult of his labour was that he had undergone
reat loss of time and trouble, and had been put to cosi'
lerable Expense—had been sent before three, or four, or
lye, six, seven, or eight Judges, and that they had Pro:
sounced learned, subt!e, end intricate disquisitions, wbieo
ended in depriving their neighbour of his vote, and money'
irne, and trouble, he (Lord John Russell) said that
bough their votes might be excellent in law, they I°lo
ce thus discouraged and prevented from attemptisseng
ltl/
exercise them.—(Hoar, hear.) He (Lord John Ru
;aid this would be the effect of the Noble Lord's Bill.
H. did net say there might not be certain cases of fraud—
hat there might not be either cases of fraud or mistake,
•lut be did say that these might be corrected in a much
nore sittple manner, and that if they wished to settle the
whole question he believed they would find it impossible to •
to so tranquilly, and, above all, with justice to the TenPle
of Ireland, unless they took into consideration this question
of franchises. Was it not a great evil to give franchises
to the people of Ireland, and that they sheuld have the
Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench laying
sown the law in ono manner and the Chief Baron tO
another ?—( Hear, hear.) Was-not this an evil ? An"
when the Nsb!e Lord entirely prastermitted h'egA
tna.i
-
land and Scotland, and had given his whole ,an;
sole attention to Ireland, was it too much to ask
if he did not choose to do it in this Bill—or let him, if l:e,
liked, bring in a separate Bill—but was it too much to
7 -
say that this system of franchise ought likewi'c to 1.),' sd.
tied ?—( Cheers.) The Noble Lord said that he (b era
J. Russell) stated that the questions of registration 61,1
qualification ought to be separated. He did not deny threat
but he had found that it was perfectly impossible to bill"
the franchise in a separate Bill and to frame a registrha-
tion Bill solely relating to that subject. That might bet,s'
t
right course, and was the one pursued last year. But vu'a
he ( Lord John Russell) said was, they ought not to a
sumo they were giving a remedy to all these Mattes,
when, in fact, all that was done was to set up elfin;elete system of registration, and to narrow the franc felt
in Ireland, to those people, and to those only, v." fe
for
that they bad powerful protection, and who were put ."
ward by men of property; as their tenants and depend
ants, and who could go to the Registration Coutts, okg;
sired that the issue would not be ruinous; but to tat. t
away the franchise from those men, who felt tul
such a courie would be ruinous t 3 their canaille!,
and that it was so difficult to be maintatnehe;
that it would really seem they had wished to vitiate He
registration in Ireland altogether. ( Cheers.) 10 •
thought the Noble Lord was quite right, according to
forms of Parliament, to give notice of his Bill as he bre
done, if he these to do so ; and he did not think, afterlnf
sanction which had been given by the House to the 13i," st" ' •
last year, that it would be at all a Parliamentary course
oppose bringing in the Bill. Ho should therefore vow
for the Bill being brought in against the amendment'''. •
(Hear, hear.) was
Mr. LUCAS said that he had before stated, and
again ready to state, his full conviction that it was big
desirable, not for cne class, but for all classes of voters,
I_, •
Ireland that the franchise should he based on some saw.,
and more satisfactory foundation than the oath of qua
Lien. But he did not state, as the Noble Lord scone'', r
attribute to him, that thu Noble Lord the Member 'sea
North Lancashire would have acted more justly if be boa •
coupled the definition of the franchise with his Bill. be
never entertained such an idea. On the contrary, t
thought the Noble Lord had acted in the manner le,ecsb
calculated to avoid confusion, by adopting the course Will
was objected to byher Maj. sty's Government.
After a few words from Colonel RAWDON,

Leave was then given to bring in the Bill ; and tbß , •

candidates. There arc three who contend for the re... I
presentation of the borough, Lord E istuor and
D'Arcy (Tories), and Dr. Bedford, who has come f°r.- •-;

plete pocket borough—as to election, it is all bumo7;
and it is calculated that out of about 120 voters 11110
are not a dozen who are free from the it.fluenco of t"

A very curious circumstance has transpired in

informality in the signing and pa3ment of the rates i 0 Id,

the greater part of thorn—have no legal vote ; abas
should they give their votes, there t no doubt- t
the election would be void. It is said that the yohn
