§ MR. LABOUCHERE (Northampton)asked Mr. Attorney General, Whether the salaried clerks of Petty Sessional Divisions are eligible as candidates for County Councils; and, whether partners with salaried clerks of Petty Sessional Divisions are eligible?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir RICHARD WEBSTER) (Isle of Wight)This Question having only appeared upon the Paper this morning, I have not had as much time to look into the matter as I should have desired; but, in my opinion, the salaried clerks of Petty Sessional Divisions are eligible for election as Couuty Councillors, as they do not hold any office or place of profit in the gift or disposal of the County Council.
