COUNTING the PEOPLE.
First Census Proposal In England
Raised q Fine Row.

First Census Proposal In ENGLAND
Raised Fine Row.
1t was in 1853 that proposal to
count the people was first made.
Thomas Potter. son Of the archbishop
Of Canterbury and member for ST.
Germans. introduced III that year u
bill for taking and registering an an.
nual account of the total number of
the people aud of the total number Of
marriages. births md deuths and also
Of tue total number of poor receiving
aims from every parish and extra paro-
chal place In Great Britain" 1t was
inevitable. OF course. that directly this
proposal was made the precedent of
King David should he quoted. And
many were the jeremiads as to the al
tentative evils which would befall the
country. Those submitted to David
were mild in comparison. Mr.. Thorn
ton. member for York city. said:
II did not believe that there was any
set Of men or indl cd any individual Of
the human species SO presumptuols
and so abandoned as to make the pro-
pOoitt WV NAVY Jtis,l ACutu. uO!N tulo
subject to be totally subversive Of the
last remains Of English liberty. The
new bill will direct the imposition of
new taxes aud indeed the addition OF
very few words will make 1t the
most cffcctual engine of raracity and
oppression that was ever used against
an injured people. Moreover. an an.
nual register Of our people will ac-
quaint our enemies abroad with our
weakness"
Matthew Ridley. another opposing
member. added that his constituents
looked on the proposal as ominous
and feared lest some public misfortune
or an epidcmical distemper should fol-
low the numbering. However. the
bill passed the commons only to be
promptly rejected by the lords. Not
until 1900 was the proposal again
made. and on this occasion 1t was
brought to successful issue. The
first census Of England and Wales was
taken in March. Ol.-Westminster
