§ SIR LAWRENCE PALKsaid, he wished to call the attention of Mr. Attorney General to the following Acts —6th of Queen Anne, 1 Geo. I., stat. 2, cap. 56, and 26 Vic, cap. 26, sec. 11; and to ask, if, having due regard to these statutes, a recipient of a yearly allowance from the Treasury, in consequence of abolition of office, but under the age of sixty, and liable to serve again, is disqualified from sitting and voting as a Member of Parliament?
THE ATTORNEY GENERALsaid, he was clearly of opinion that he was not disqualified. If there were any disqualification, it would be removed by the Bill then in progress through Parliament.
