Note 21. Page 490.
The law regulating the "qualification," in respect of property, requisite to render a man eligible for a seat in Parliament, has been recently—viz., by stat. 1 and 2 Vict. c. 48,—altogether altered. Real or personal property to the extent of £600 a-year, now gives a sufficient qualification to a county member, and to the extent of 300, to a member for a borough.
