§ Lord Althorpmoved for leave to bring in a bill for the Registration of Freeholds in England and Wales. In introducing the bill, the noble lord observed, that it was not his intention that it should be discussed this session.
§ Mr. Hudson Gurneysaid, that from what had yet proceeded from it, he had a considerable jealousy of the noble lord's 984 committee, and thought they were in the way of introducing more mal-practices than they would remedy. The registration of freeholders had been pretty well tried in Ireland; and a more obvious source of fraudulent voting, he could not well conceive.
Leave was given to bring in the bill.
