Election Petitions and Corrupt Practices at Elections [6]

10 JULY, 1868

PD, 3rd ser., Vol. 193, cols. 1015–16, 1020. Reported in The Times, 11 July, p. 6. For the Bill, see No. 89. Mill spoke in Committee first on Clause 14, dealing with the trial of election petitions.

mr. j. stuart mill said, he had intended, before the clause was finally agreed to, to make some observations in vindication of a plan which was embodied in three pages of Amendments that stood on the Notice Paper in his name.1 As the Committee had, however, already virtually decided against his plan, he would not now press his Amendments.

[Mill’s second intervention came during the discussion of Clause 17, dealing with the judge’s report as to corrupt practices.]

Mr. J. Stuart Mill said, that as he had an important Amendment to propose,2 and there was not time for the discussion, he would beg to move that the Committee report Progress.

[1 ]For the amendments, notice of which was given on 19 May, see Notices of Motions, and Orders of the Day, 1868, pp. 882–4.
