§ MR. HUSSEY VIVIANsaid, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether a forty shilling freeholder, residing on his own freehold within a Borough, and paying rates, would not become a Borough Voter, and thereby lose his County qualification under the proposed Reform Bill?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERYes, he would become a borough voter if he dwelt in his own house, and he would then be subject to the regulations of the existing law. But, perhaps, I may remark that such a provision would have only a very inconsiderable operation, because five-sixths of the county voters in boroughs are non-resident.
§ MR. HUSSEY VIVIANThen he would, of course, lose hiss county qualification on becoming a borough voter.
