Note 85 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
In altering the bill to localise the charge upon the electoral divisions respectively (see ante, p. 220) it was omitted to substitute the term Electoral Division for that of Union in the 81st sect.; so that a person who might pay a rate in every electoral division of the union, could only as the clause stood vote in one, although each electoral division was separately chargeable. This would be contrary to what was intended by the Duke of Wellington’s amendment, and the error was remedied as soon as discovered by the 2nd Vict. cap. 1, sec. 5. See post, p. 233.
