HC Deb 04 April 1867 vol 186 c1104
MR. RUSSELL GURNEY

said, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether, if the Boroughs of Lancaster, Great Yarmouth, Reigate, and Totnes are disfranchised, it is proposed to give votes for the respective Counties in which they are situated to those persons whom the Commissioners, after full inquiry, have found to have been guilty of corrupt practices by either giving, promising, or receiving bribes?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

said, he did not think that the individuals referred to should have votes for the respective counties in which the boroughs mentioned were situated. Their names were all scheduled, and he did not see that there would be any difficulty in providing against their exercise of the vote.
