Looking to this bill now under consideration, in relationprincipally to that policy, it goes undoubtedly to establish a verylarge number of corporations in Ireland, the mode of their formationbeing to give votes to the very lowest class of the population of thetowns in which these corporations are to be formed. This is to be done, not upon evidence of their possessing property--not, as in England, uponresidence, upon the payment of rates, or on the evidence of theirpossessing anything in the na...ture of property; but simply on thecondition that the parties possess a 5l. Or a 10l. Qualification, madeup of all kinds and descriptions of property put together, and thiswithout any proof whatever, excepting the oath of the partiesthemselves, of their possessing even that qualification. It is wellknown to your lordships that a system of perjury prevails in all partsof Ireland, with a view to establish franchise of this description. Ihave recently seen accounts of enquiries before select committees incertain parliamentary elections which have taken place in that country, and it is impossible to glance at them without being impressed with theconviction that, if any description of franchise depend solely on theoaths of the holders, every species of enquiry will be nugatory; and itwill be just as wise to establish at once a system of universalsuffrage, as to establish a system of franchise in such a manner.
