HL Deb 11 July 1889 vol 338 c70
* LORD BASING

My Lords, in moving the Second Reading of this Bill, I have only to say that the object of the Bill is to remove a disqualification from certain persons who, though they pay borough rates and are included in the borough, are disqualified from voting as burgesses. When the city was laid out in wards a piece of land wasleftout, which has since been built upon, and the Bill proposes to attach it to St. John's Ward.

Bill read 2ª (according to Order), and committed to the Standing Committee for Bills relating to Law, &c.
