ELECTORAL STATISTICS AND THE…
ELECTORAL STATISTICS AND THE REFORM BILL. WE are now within a measureable distance of the re-assembling of Parliament and the shadows of the coming events have already- enshrouded us. Political orafcrs on both sides have addressed their constituents and have enumerated their views pro and con honestly and covertly, clearly and ambign- ously, as the speaker happened to be sincere and in earnest or otherwise. Cabinet Minis- ters have met and have already begun to formulate the great measures which will tax the wisdom and exercise the patriotism of many of its members. But the publication of a Parliamentary return in the early part of the week cannot fail to exercise a most important influence not only on the delibera. tions of Parliament, but also upon public opinion. It is entitled a Return of Electoral Statistics in County and Borough Consti- tuencies in England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland." It was moved for by Mr ARTHUR ARNOLD. the Liberal member for Salford, and the thanks of the community are due to him for the care and thought which he has bestowed upon the arrangement of the different heads under which the information asked for has been distributed. Viewed with regard to the change contemplated in the franchise alone, or with regard to a future distribution pf the electoral power this return will supply the most valuable assistance. It tells us the gross population of each borough and county or county district, the number of inhabited houses in each, and the area in square miles for the years 1871 and 1881. A simple arithmetical comparison will at once shew whether a place has grown in population or receded, and the proper claims of such place to increased political power will be indicated. The number of electors on the register for 1883 is also given and the arrangement of them in the case both of counties aud of boroughs is both novel and instructive. In different columns are set forth the number of those who in the oounties claim as occupier at a rateable value of X12 or of a rental of JMO and the number of those who vote as fr&holders, leaseholders, copy. holders, or by any other similar tenure. But in addition to all this the return contains separate lists of county electors whose grounds of qualification are situated within the Par- liamentary Boroughs of the county and whose places of abode as registered are— 1, Within the Parliamentary Borough in which the ground of qualification for the county vote is situated. 2, Within a Parliamentary Borough in a county in which the ground of qualification is situated. 3, Without the limits of any Parliamentary Borough but within the limits of the county, 4, When the registered residence is outside or beyond these limits. Again in the case of the boroughs the number of electors is given in columns which are arranged according to the nature of the qualification. One column contains the number of £ 10 foccupiers and inhabitant householders, another that of lodger claims, another of freemen, and so on with the scot and lot voters, pot-wallopers, &c. These multifarious details present many points of peculiar interest particularly at the present time when the different qualifications for the franchise will be compared and criticized in a spirit which contemplates the destruction of nearly all of them. This liist sentence cannot but excite suspicion on the part of many of our readers, it will therefore not be avdsB if an expanded explanation of it be grvtttt. The phrase Assimilation of the County Franchise to that of the Borough falls glibly from the tongue, and to few carries with it any other meaning than that of giving to the agricultural labourer in the Counties an occupation vote similar to that possessed by a labourer within the limits of a Borough. But this is by far too narrow a view to be taken, for these questions will present them- selves to the statesman. Is the ancient 40s franchise to be retained in the Counties? Is the £ 50 a yerr tenant at will still to retain his old franchise ? Is the zC12 a year rateable value franchise to be merged into one of mere occupation ? Is the Freeman qualification to be retained in the Boroughs or is it to be abolished ? These and other questions of a similar nature enlarge enormously the amount of matter which is involved in the New Reform Bill. That the ancient franchise, a freehold of the annual value of 40 shillings, has been the means of the creation of faggot votes cannot be disputed, and so its destruc- tion would be the means of putting an end to that fruitful source of corruption which has proved such a curse in the fair Counties of both England and Scotland. Again the men who keep themselves on the register as Freeman in Boroughs when they could be registered as occupiers do this solely with the expectation of being appointed runners and clerks and messengers at elections, and by so doing reaping a golden harvest at every elec- tion, as they and their fathers have done before. One-forth of the voters in the City of London, one-fifth of those in the City of York, and nearly one half of those at Coven. try are Freemen. A government which has passed a Corrupt Practices Act will un- doubtedly deem it its duty to sweep away overy source of corruption, and thus it may fairly and even reasonably be expected that the two most ancient of franchises,-fran- chises which for centuries were the bulwarks of English liberty—will vanish before the breath of enlightened popular feeling. They have played their part in the constitutional history of our country, but they have now become dangerous factors, and must therefore bow to the inevitable and cease to exist.

Davies and Roberts) appeared for the defendant, and said that the complainant was willing to ac. cept an apology, which he, on Jehalf of the defendant, was preparod to ofEe. The blow, he scLid, was atruok whilst thi if/uirLuiti. •wia,' in a bad temper, and on the f act< being placed before complainant he expreasec hie willing- ness to accept an apclogy.Tha justices, as the case was not a bad one, consented to the withdrawal of the summons. THE ADJOURNED CASE UNDEB THB POACHING PREVENTION ACT. loseph Hughes surrendered t, his bail charged by P.C. Hughes with an offence under the above Act. The case was adjourned from the last court to enable the defendant to sum- mon a witness. Complainant said that about 12 o'clock at noon on the 27th of November he saw Joseph Hughes in a field oalled "Cal Brwyn," in the occupation of Mr R. Morris, lendre. He had a gun and was beating the rwhes. There are no footpaths in the field. Ib left in the di- rection of Rhuddlan. Abou one o'clock he saw defendant in another fiell called Rhes," in the occupation of Mr Wyine, in company with Harry Davies. Again he saw him in a field called 40 acres," in tte occupation of Mr Jones, Pwlloorsog. He witness) watched him to Victoria road. He tlen accosted him, and defendant said he hadpermission from Mr Hughes, milk-man, Wellngton road, rut he had no written permissica. He searched him and found a gun and ive cartridges in his possession. William Jiles, who looked after the land, said in defddant's presence that he had no right on the 'forty acres." By Mr George Defendant was on the Flintshire side of the river vhen witness first saw him. By Mr Roberts: It was a out 1.15 when he searched him in Victoria rod. Forty acres" is divided from Victoria rod by a small field. He was in the Forty acra when he first spoke to defendant. He valked over two fields with defendant befce searching him. Defendant carried the gums if he was watch- ing something to rise. Htdid not attempt to conceal the gun. When he earched defendant he found five cartridges, fe left them in the possession of defendant, tr Evans and Wil- liam Jones were present. lid not see the cart- ridges, but felt them. He :new that he ought to possess himself of the Artridges, but did not. He was satisfied thatiefendant had the cartridges, but did not thik it was necessary to take them. He (witnes) walked on the Denbighshire side of the river, and and crossed by ^—J ,1 e. He did not see the de an in the field he was c are in the information t1 ng the gun. He meant t is beating about and 101 es, that would be using Inspector McLarer m the Forty acre or fore 12 o'clock, and ter field. He heard thi le- fendant then ran from cnwueiu wicn a gun in his hand in the direction d Cwybr. By Mr Roberts He Eitr defendant shoot once. fIe heard three shoi. Both men fired, but he could not say whored the two shots. William Jones said heiaw three men in the forty acres." He MS then in Mr Chas. Jones' yard. He walU to Warren road crossing, and went to tK field and saw the officer, the defendant, afi Mr Evans. The officer searched the man^nd took a gun from him. I By P.C. Hughes He id he had six cart- j ridges in his pocket. 1 By Mr Roberts He è. not know whether < defendant had permissil to go over the land. 1 There was a pond in field close by the Forty acres," but theiwas no path passing the pond. In this pon there were, at times, wild fowl. but witness 4s not aware that de- ] fendant, or Mr Evans, id any permission to shoot there. This was the case forie prosecution. Mr Roberts, for thejefence, epoke about the possibility of polict en assuming a great deal, and without thinlig of telling a false- hood, would say some ing that would turn out to be untrue. He re red to the opinion of Lord Penzance ard Mil Sergeant Ballantiyne on the testimony of po,,a-officers. He then went HI to say that tht^ench must be satis- fied tLiutithe defendant:^ guilty of an offence under the Poaching Prtentin Act. However guilty the man might'e under another it ) wold be trampling on justice to attempt to conrict under this one. Under this Act he couended that game must be found or a gun havng" been used" for killing game. De- ennt was licensed to carry a gun, and was in t habit of going with Mr Evans shooting wildfowl, and on this occasion he was going alonjtlxe embankment of the river honestly A 6 intention of killing wild fowl. He k u r 'vans taken a shorter cut than by the rrer bank home, to see whether there were anwild fowl on the pool referred to above, ad to which Mr Evans had permission to go. "Wil'iaA Dorset; Evans, a gentleman living m We.Ij.gton road, was then called, and in reply At Roberts said that Hughes was in the haii of going out with him shooting wild fowl. Ee remembered the 27th ult. On that day Hfehes was with him. They went along the rivr side to Rhuadlan. He would take a doubi barreled oath that they were not in search f game. He, did not see defendant shootin. They returned by the fields for ^he pur0se of seeing whether there were any fowls ii% pool in Mr Edward Owens' field. Mr Gorge: You had no right there you know- 'he field belongs to me. Mr Rijerts No doubt there was a trespass sir. Mr Evns: Had I known the field belonged to Mr Gorge I would not go within half-a- mile of (laughter). Witnei continuing said he heard tour shots, buhe did not see Hughes shooting. In fact he ci look whether he had or not-he did not tlnk of him. Mr Rolrts then addressed the Bench, and said that fendant had lost his wife since the last meeti^, iltit1 he had three children de. pendant o,)Diin. The Chaioan said they tooK into conside- ration whatfr Roberts had said, and inflicted a they ocherwi9e would. Joined £ l,ad £ 1 6d. costs. JVJSXILE SHOP-LIFTERS.
