Registration of vOters-WOmen Denied the
Franchise.
LONDON, Sept. 1s. 1868
The registration Of voters for the forthcoming
Parliamentary elections, which will commence
about the 18th Of November next, is being prose
cuted with great diligence throughout the British
isles.
At many places women formally demanded that
their names be placed upon the lists OF voters the
ground that they possessed the property qualifca-
tons prescribed by the Reform bill, and the legal
aspects OF the question, well the extent Of the
movement, have excited much public interest on the
subject. Over six thousand women claimed the
right to be registered In Manchester alone,
and their demands were urged in an able speech be-
fore the registering officials by Miss Lydia Becker
After argument on both sides the claim was disal-
lowed. Similar proceedings took place in other
towns and In some cases the question was reserved
for legal decision.
The question has finally been brought before the
judges at Westminster and they have overruled the
application of women to he registered voters, on
the ground that an amendment TO the Reform bill,
which was proposed in the House OF Commons by
Mr.. Mill, substituting the word 'person' for "man"
was rejected and that by this action the House clearly
indicated the intent and purpose OF the bill In this
respect
