rae SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'e lock.
PR,IVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendments to the f )Ilowing bills were
considered and agreed to :—Middlesborough Improve-
men., Plymouth Great Western DJcke Tees Conser-
vancy, and Worcester and Hereford ItadNay.
Toe foil° wing bills were read a third time and pasesd :

CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION Acr
CONTINUANCE BILL.
Tne aej turned debate on the clause proposed by Mr.
VA!'.7SITTART was rerewed. Toe clause was "That it
811,111 not he lawful f )r the collector of rates and taxes
of a-,y borough, county, or city, or his partner, or
agent, to act a 3 agent, clerk, or canvasser for, or to be
earl loyed on behalf of, any candidate for such borough,
county, or city, and any such person who shali offend
shall for his said offence be liable to forfeit the sum of
501. to any person who shall sue for the same, together
with full costs of suit."
Mr. BASS spoke in opposition, and to the bill
generally.
Mr. P. O'BRIEN thought that nothing could bo
more otjectionahle than the practice of a tax collector,
with his rate book in his hard, walkinv into a voter's
hou,e to solicit his vote in aid of aoy particular candi-
date. Ile hoped the lion. member for Windsor (Mr.
Vansittari) would press his motion.
Mr. WALPOLE thought this clauso would raise ques-
tion upon question as to rrsons Tialified to act as
agents,. 11, should be happy to considsr the question
as applicable to general law, but he thought the principle
ought not to he affirriv.d in the present M.
Sir F. SMITH thought the clatue would be a trap for
the honest man, and that it would serve no other pur-
Pc"e.
Mr. ROEBUCK rail the Home Secretary seemed to

think that this was not a proper time f r the revision of
the el:cteral law. Ile (11r. Roebuck) admitted that,
and loped the Home Secretary would apply that remark
tti is own bill.
Mr.
111 r, IVItEREEtR sail thatcollectors
E Nopposed
thclause.
Gof rates and taxes
bad a great influence in reference to the registration of
voters ; and in B,lfest that influnce had been exercised
in a most extraordinary degree. In any district the
collect !rs of taxes might abstain from calling upon
voters fur their taxes until sfter the time when they
should be paid to enable them to vote, and thus persons
really solvent, and wiling to pay their rates when asked
for them, fund theinselvee disfranchised when the
revisiog barrister came round.
Mr. JOHN LOCKE said the clause singled out one
particular class of persons, but tax collectors were not
the only persons who bad an undue influence over
electors. Let them take, for example, the steward
of e. nobleman who had a large estate, and who could
knock off 10 or 15 per cent. if it would in any way
suit his employer's purpose. The tax cjllector was a
public servant, and any candidate might avail himself
of his services. The tax collector could not remit
tax- s, and it was not to his interest to remit them, but
the steward of an estate could remit any amount his
employer might cheese to allow. The clause aimed
at one parthoular class of individuals, while they knew
that there were hundreds of olbrr. who were equally open
to obj ctMn. He objected 0 legislation of this piece-
meal kind being introduced into the bill, which he con-
sidered should be merely a continuance bill.
Mr. M'CANN .objected to the tax gatherers being
agents. They bad great influence over the register of
votes, and had not failed to exorcise it very extensively
in Ireland. He kne al many persons who bad been dis-
franchised by the tricks and ch:cantries cf these men.
Mr. BAINES thought extraneous matter should not
be introduced, although be admitted be was favourable
to the principle of the clause. This was a well-defined
and undenteod species of influence upon which eventu-
ally they might legislate, but he thought this should
be a continuance bill. If the °lame were passed at all,
be thought it should be amended, so as to include all
instead "ot "
c llectors " within" any
any borough, Zee. le.r ugh, &s.,
Mr. B. C.IRTER oprosed t'.e clause, on the ground
that the bill should be a mere continuance bill.
Mr. Erl',lG considered that the chiles centained a
very sourel principls, and he should vote for it, subject
to the amendment of the right hoc. gen leinan the mem
ber for Le, (1,4 (Mr. B sine ,)•
Mr. II UGG ESSON did net like hornoa-Tathio dotes
of reform, and opposed the clause.
Mr. CIINUFURD thought it unreasonable that a
f this kind should have been introduced at this late
period cf the session, and that they were wastirg time in
discussing it. Ile shoal' vote against the clause, because
be desired that the bill should be merely a continuance
bill. He wished they would take an example from Scot-
land, where there was no such absurd regulation that a
rune should pay his taxes before he was cllz ified to vote
(Rear, hear, and laughter.) He objected to the clause
ter another reason, that they ought nit in such a case to
pick out one Owe of sooiety snore than anuther. If they
,xeluded tax cullectere, they should exclude solicitors
and mainhers of the legal profession from being agents,
for he held that they were a much more dangerous class
in this respect than tax collectors. He said th:t in
his capacity of a member el the legal profession bimeAf.
"a76.NSITART said he sheen be hem to avail
hinanif of the =coin:cots which had been suggested,

The house then divided on the amended clause, and
the numbers were—
For the clause
Against it
Majority —l3
The clause was negatived.
Mr. D. NICOLL hoped that after the narrow escape
of defeat which the Government had had they would de-
clare now that this was simply a continuance bill. He
had stood three sharply contested elections, one of
which he lost by only one vote, and he knew
therefor.: the temptations to which pour voters
were exposed. He moved the f elbowing clause :
" Every candidate at any election for any county, city,
or borough, shall be required to make and sign the fol-
lowing statutory declaration, and present, or cause to
be presented, a copy of such declaration to the Election
Auditor on or before the day appointed for the audit of
belle, charges, or claims. "I, (A. B.) a candidate at
the election of ( ) to represent the (
in Parliament, do hereby solemnly an I sincerely declare
that I have not knowingly made, authorised, or sanc-
tioned, and that I will not knowingly make, authorise,
or sanction any payment, or make any gift of money,
or other valuable consideration, directly or indirectly,
by way of private gratuity to any solicitor, agent,
or canvasser acting f r me on account cf the said elec-
tion, otherwise than is described by the bills, charge;
and claims rendered to the election auditor, save as
excepted and allowed by the Corrupt Practices Preven-
tion Ac', 1854."
Mr. WALPOLE objected to the clause. It might
he inserted in a permanent bill which could not bedelayeil
beyond nux!.. 'session. The present was nothing more
than a continuance bill.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS did not think the clause would
carry out the object it proposed to have in view.
Mr. P. O'BRIEN thought that all legislation in re.
fere.nce to c irrupt practices at elections was a delusion.
Mr. CRAINEIRD opposed the clause.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the Government to with-
draw the bill. The in,j rity of the House was
against it. (near, hear, and no, no.)
Mr. WALPOLE said if the maj ni's of the House
were against the bill he would witheraw it and intro-
duee a continuance bill to-morrow. (Hear, hear, and
no, no.)
After some remarks from Mr. ROEBUCK,
The House divided. The numbers were—
For the clause
Against it
Majority
Tim clause was therefere negatived.
Mr. GREER moved the addition cf a clause for in-
creasing the number of polling places, and for altering
the polling districts in Ireland.
Lo-d NAAS opposed the clause. Ia the first place
it was out of place, it was out of order on the considera-
tion of this Intl ; and, secondly, the law at present per-
mitted the extension of poling places in Irl end.
Mr. WHIM supported the clause to protract the
debate, and with a desire to prevent the bill being
carried. He informed fur Maje ty's Government
there were a certain curnb.r of members who
intended to oppose the bill en every point
other than as a continuance bill. The bill was wrongly
named. It should be called the Corrupt Practices
Protection Bill. (Laughter.)
Mr. P. O'BRIEN opposed the clause.
Mr. BRADY supported the cl sues.
Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD opposed the clause.
Mr. COX opposed the bill. He looked upon it as a
bill to legaise bribery, and increase the expenses of
candidates at elections. He had no objectian to the bill
as a continuance bill, but he had great of jsction to it as
a permanent bill.
Alter smite further discussion,
The boll -e divided. The nurabera were—
For the clause
Agait,st it
,rity
The clause was therefore negatived.
Mr. GRIFFITEIS moved the followi-g clause :
"The admission and payment, on behalf of any caedi-
d ste at an election, of any claim or demand in respect
to such election, by the Wetion auditor, in accordance
with the previsions f the 17th and 18. h Viet., chap 102,
shall be a sufficient protecti so to such candidate against
any action or suit at law in respect to the legality of any
such payment ; and it shall be the duty of the election
auditor to r,fuse to pay any claim or &mat:don behalf f
such candidate which is not in accordance with the pro-
visions of the above-mentioned act of the 17sh and
18 h Vie., c. 102."
Toe moti .n was negatived without a division.
Mr. STAPLETON moved to insert in clause 1, line
17, after " voter," " within such voter's county or
borough, and seven miles nom the boundary thereof."
The house divided. The numbers were—
For the amendment
Against it
Mej irity
The amendment was consequently lost.
On the motion that the clause as amended stand part
of the bill,
Mr. ROEBUCK moved its omission from the bill.
The moment they rendered the expenses of conveying
voters to the poll legal, it became imperative, and aided
the rich moo against the poor man. He regretted the
proposition f r payng xpenees emanated
from his side of the house, for it would be found
to be productive of rno:e bribery and corruption
than ever In f re i xlstt d.

Mr. BRADY supported the amendment,
Mr. V. S Arca remindel the Rome Secretary that
be some days since E g g st e the bill shi-Arld Le a con-
tinuance bill, and he thought if hi+ sugc,estion had been
adopted, touch time would have beet saved, for it must
come to a continuance bill alter all—(hcir)--ard that
w.ts to be done by citting out this clause. If they
were to legi-late on his sutj •ct t ext., yuar, he believed
it would be better t, make merely a continuance
bill (Hear, hear.) Tub bill invulv,d two prineiplei—
one was that voters had no intereFt in going to the poll
themselves ; and the othsr, that no man but a rich man,
who could squander 3,0001. or 4,0001. in an election,
could stand for coug•tit:s.

Mr. WAIJOLE contended he was PistiGod in brirg-
ing in this bill, and perecyering with it, and referred to
the majorities on divisions in euppert rf that assertion.
lie intended to bring in a permanent bill next session
to got rid of bribery and lrea,ing at elections. He should
persi-r:with ibis bill. These expenses had always been paid
by candidat-e, and the returns showed it was a consider-
able itemin contested tlections for ciuritics and boroughs.
Without conveyances were provided many voters would
not talce the trouble to go to the poll. It was, there-
fore, better to legalise it than leave it in uncertainty as
at present.
General THOMPSON wished to know what security
the candidate had under this biil if a voter went to the
poll in hie carriage, and voted for another candidate.
hie contendtd the payment of V-e expenses of c )nvey-
once a voters to the poll was as clear and simple
bribery as any other that could be invented.
After some recearks from Mr. S. WARREN,
Mr. T. BUNCOMBE characterised this as a bill to
serve the purposes of the Conservatives in the election
to take place in the spring of next year. Candidates
then would he able to bribe to any extent, and the man
with the longest purse would he the successful
candidate. Toe hon. member was proceeding to slow
the effect of the bill in conntction with the Conservative
or Freehold Land Society, when by the forms of the
home the debate was adjourned to the evening sitting.
Tne ll?puty Usher of the Black Rec.. appeared at the
bar of the house, and summoned the heu e to the House
of Peers, to hear the royal assent given to several bills,
(for which see Lercis' report).
The other criers were then disposed of, and the house
suspended is sittin4e.
The Hou.;c resumed at 6 o'clock, and. was
