Lords Sitting of 3 July 1834

MINTUES.
Bills. [The House met at ten o'clock, to receive further Evidence in support of the Warwick Disfranchisement Bill. Evidence was tendered to prove, that certain Electors of Warwick had Conspired to put the Names of certain Parties fraudulently on the Register; but Lord WYNFORD being of opinion, that such Evidence was inadmissible, adjourned the House till four o'clock, to obtain the opinion of the LORD CHANCELLOR on that point. At four o'clock, the LORD CHANCELLOR and Lord DENMAN both declared this Evidence to be inapplicable to the Case. The Counsel tendered Evidence to prove, that certain Electors had got up Riots in the Borough to destroy the freedom of Election; but this Evidence was also held to be inadmissible. The further consideration of this Bill was adjourned.]—Read a second time:—Warrants of Distress (Ireland).
