ing clauses of the Bribery, &c., Bill, beginning with the
33rd clause, conta

made by a candidate at the time of nomination, and 1;y-i
member before taking his seat, in the discussion of
which the 'question as to the terms of the declaration
was mixed up with that of whether there should be any
declaration. At length, after various amendments, the
declaration emerged from the discussion in the following
shape —" I do solemnly and sincerely declare that
I have not knowingly made, authorized, or sanc-
tioned, and that I will not knowingly make, autho-
rize, or sanction any payment on account of my
election, otherwise than through the election officer,
save as excepted and allowed by the Corrupt Practices
Prevention Act (the present), 1864 ; nor have knowingly
done, or will hereafter do, any act contrary to the provi-
sions contained in sections 2 and 4 of this act." The
declaration, thus amended, was agreed to, provisionally
only, in order to allow of a division being taken upon the

clause itself, which was carried by 158 to- Hit The
remaining clltuses were agreed to. with some amendments.
A new clause, moved by Lord R, GROSVENOR, imposing

or within six calendar months previous to such election,
or within 14 days after it shall have been completed, be
employed at such election as counsel, agent, attorney,
poll-clerk, flag-man, or in any other capacity, for the pur-
poses of such election, and shall at any time, either before,
during, or after such election, accept or take from• any
such candidate or candidates, or from any person whatso-
ever, for or in consideration thereof, or with reference to
such employment, any sum or sums of money, retaining
fee, office, place, or employment, or any promise or secu-
rity for any sum or sums of money, retaining fee, office,
place, or employment, such person shall be deemed inca-
pable of voting at such election, and his vote, if given,
shall be utterly void and of none effect, and shall render
him liable to forfeit the sum of £5O to any person who
shall sue for the same, together with full costs of suit."

mitted.

of Lord J. Russell, it was agreed that the bill should be
recommitted, and the house accordingly resolved itself
