§ Lord John Russellrecalled to the recollection of the House, the notice which he had given towards the close of the last session, relative to certain Resolutions, which it was his intention to propose, affecting the borough of Grampound. As it was his present intention to give these resolutions a greater comprehension, he rose for the purpose of renewing that notice, and fixing the 14th of next month for the discussion. He had not yet prepared his resolutions in the precise terms, but their purport was, 1. That it is expedient the borough of Grampound should be disfranchised; 2, that it is expedient the two parliamentary seats now attached to that borough should be transferred to one or two of our populous and unrepresented cities; 3, that it is the duty of the House to consider of the best means to prevent corruption in the smaller boroughs: 4, that when the majority of the voters of a small borough should be found corrupt, that borough should be disfranchised; 5, that it is expedient to add to the number of representatives for large and populous cities. In moving these resolutions, he did not mean to propose a regular plan of parliamentary reform. This notice arose solely from the inquiry conducted last year into the state of the borough of Grampound, and might be considered as its result. A defect had been found in the national representation, which it was his object to correct, and he trusted the House would treat the subject with all the attention which its importance deserved.
