MR. GLADSTONEsaid, he wished to ask Mr. Attorney General, Whether, in the judgment of the Law Officers of the Crown, an occupier of furnished lodgings will be admissible to the franchise under the Reform Bill, provided such lodgings are of the clear annual value, if unfurnished, of ten pounds or upwards?
THE ATTORNEY GENERALSir, the occupiers of furnished lodgings will be admissible to the franchise under the Reform Bill in the case supposed by the Question. The words used are the words of the right hon. Gentleman, taken from the measure of last Session, and they appear sufficient to express the object desired.
