§ MR. DARBY GRIFFITHsaid, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Whether it is intended that the Voters at £6 rent and upwards, whose 1021 Rates are now compounded for by their Landlords should have the opportunity at the next Registration of qualifying themselves as voters by taking on themselves the payment of Rates for the past year, or otherwise, as may be arranged to effect such object?
§ LORD JOHN RUSSELLsaid, that all persons entitled to vote according to the present law must be rated for the year previous to registration; but he would consider whether any clause could be introduced to effect the hon. Member's purpose.
