'FHB REFORM BILL.

.1 long discussion took place last night, on the 27th clause, nn
the right of voting in boroughs to he enjoyed by owners ol
tenants. Mr. J. E. Denison ;o1 Nottinghamshire) moved an
amendment, which 'afterwards he withdrew. Mr. Vernon
(Bassetlaw) then moved that the franchise should .be enjoyed
only by those who occupied houses rated to the poor-rates at 101.
Sir Robert Peel, Sir E. Sugden, and others, supported the amend-
ment ; but, on a division, the Committee decided, by 252 to 15-1,
that the franchise should be enjoyed by all persons rated to the
poor-rates, and occupying or owning houses of the clear yearly
value of 10/. This is one of the most importment clauses in the
Bill, and it would have been matter of great regret if the Mini-
sters had yielded to the proposition, as the number of voters
would have thereby been much reduced. We observe that one
of the usual supporters of the Ministers voted against the value
of the house being taken as the suffrage. The majority of 68 for
the clause is certainly a small one on so important a subject, and
we cannot think the friends of Reform are wise to allow any di-
vision to tak— place when, out of 4313 Members present, there
shall only be'lS of a majority. If it is expected that the Bill shall
be carried through the Lords, the Reformers in the House of
Commons must continue their attendance, and carry it tri-
umphantly through. for the country expects every man sent to
the House as a Reformer will not relax on any account in his
efforts.
Mr. Hunt moved, as an amendment to the clause, that the
borough of Preston should be exempted from the clause, stating
that the number of electors would be reduced from 4,000 to WU
by the present Bill. On a division there appeared '2OO against
Mr. Hunt's amendment and only five for it.
Mr. Mackinnon then moved as an amendment to the clause
that where the number of houses rated at 10/. and upwards
exceeds .500, the right of franchise should be only in those paying
151. rent "
A long discussion followed, in which Mr. Alexander Baring,
Sir James Scarlett, and Colonel Davies recommended the raising
the franchise, and Mr. Heywood, Lord Morpeth, and the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, opposed it, and maintained the clause as
it is in the Bill.
