RECOVERY OF TENEMENTS BILL.
Mr. AGLIONBY moved that the house resolve itself into
committee on the Recovery of Tenements Bill.
Sir E KNATCHBULL trusted that the hon. member would
postpone this bill until another session, as many country
gentlemen who were anxious to take part in the debate were
absent.

Mr. AGLIONBY said the bill had been before the house
three sessions, and therefore he could not consent to any fur-
ther postponement. He should if possible,
,pass it through
parliament before the adjournment.
Sir E. SUGDEN, at considerable length, opposed the bill.
He considered it would be giving a great
.advantage to the
rich over the poor, and, therefore, he moved as an amend-
ment, that the bill be committed that day three months. The
real object of the bill was to turn every humble tenant out of
his premises, at the will of the landlord ; and that was a
principle which he wished a British House of Commons
would never sanction. (Hear.) A more objectionable
measure, he firmly believed, was never brought under the
consideration of the legislature. It was an attempt to grind
the poor for the benefit of the rich.
Sir E. WILMOT said he entirely differed in opinion with
the right hon. gentleman ; he did not think the bill would
interfere with the rights and interests of the poor; if he for
a moment entertained such an idea, he would oppose it with
all his power; but be believed it would have acontrary
effect, and that it would confer a great benefit on the•public.
Mr. AGLIONBY defended the provisions of the bill, and de.
Died that it was at all calculated to support tyranny or op-
pression. The bill had been fully considered by a fair and
important committee, and, therefore he felt it his duty to per-
severe with it.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL strongly supported the bill. If
it was ahunpopular measure he was willing to have his share
of the unpopularity, for he had always been a strenuous sup-
porter of the bill ever since its first introduction, three years
since. The hon. and learned member contended that the bill
would confer a benefit upon all parties, and he was sure it
would be well received by the public.
The house divided, when there appeared—
For going, into committee ll2 -

The house then went into committee ou the bill.

COUNTY REGISTRATION4'

All conservatives should remember the advice of Sir Robert
Peel—registei ! register !! register !! ! for it is in the regis-
tration courts that the battle of the election is really fought.
Under the existing law, no person, whatever may be his pro-
perty,. can vote whose name is not on the register; andevery
• parson ii4.-o is on the togi!ler, is_ i nto to.l u 06j..t..4 to. -„it
therefore hehoveS all partie to ascertain aecuratel24-, what are
the qualifications and what are the requirements of the act, in
order to make such qualifications operatiye,..
Parties already on the register ,shotild.. remember that if
they have changed their qualification; oi-Changed their resi;
dence, they must send in a new claim to be regiitered to the
overseer of the parish in which their property is situate, and
with such claim the sum of one shilling::!,
Parties not already on the register :should bear in mind
that every freeholder to the amount of 40s. a-year and up-
wards, having had posseSsion six months previous to the 31st
of July is entitled to be registered, except such freehold is
situate .within a' borough, and of the annual value of
£lO or upwards, and in the, occupation of the owner.
That every copyholder of the annual value of £lO and
upwards, and in possession twelve -months previous to the
31st or JON; is entitled to be registered, provided such copy-
hold`does not and may not confer a right to the elective
fianchise of any borough. Leaseholders and occupying
tenants liable to an annual rent of 450 and upwards are also
,under certain restrictions entitled to be registered, but those
restrictions are hardly capable of a satisfactory explanation
in the columns of a newspapr, and therefore we must refer
our readers to the Conservative Association, where they will
receive every information and assistance.
This caution, however, we must emphatically give:—
Every claim must be delivered to an Overseer of' the Parish or
Township in which the qualifiCation is situate On or before the
20th July, and such claim must be accompanied by time sum of ls.
