In tho House of Lords, tonight,
Marquis Of Harrington examined
and raised objections to secret voting
and explained the Governments
plan, which is as follows:
The returning officer shall supply
a ticket corresponding in number
with counterparts to a voter. The
latter is to secretly write bis number
and the name of his candidate, and
deposit the samein the ballot box
The ballots, at the termination of the
polling, the officer shall open and
count, in the presence of the candi-
dates themselves, and counterparts
separately, and return them to the
Clerk of the Crown. Other string
emit provisions are also made against
bribery. Mr.. Fawcett rebuked the
Government tor it's hardness in
bringing in the bill. Mr.. Gladstone
replied, and the bill then had it's first
reading. The House then adjourned.
