upon reading the affidavits produced before me 
by, and on behalf of the respective parties, I 
ordered that the Petitioner be at liberty to with- 
draw such Petition; and I report, that in my 
opinion the withdrawal of such Petition was not 
the result of any corrupt arrangement, or in con- 
sideration of the withdrawal of any other Peti- 
tion.

The Parliamentary Elections Act, 1868. 
Court of Common Pleas. 


To the Right Honourable The Speaker 
of the House of Commons. 
Sir, 

Referring to my Report in the case of the 
Election Petition for the -Borough of Boston, 
dated the 5th day of June 1874, I have now to 
state that the case which I reserved for the 
decision of the Court of Common Pleas in refer- 
ence to agency so far as regarded the Respondent 
William James Ingram has this day been decided 
by that Court; and, in consequence of the de- 
cision, I hereby report and certify that the said 
William James Ingram is duly elected and returned 
as a Member to serve in Parliament for that 
Borough. 

Dated this 26th day of January 1875, 

W. R. Grove. 


7, Bryanstone Square, 
Sir, 14th December 1874. 

A Petition, under the Parliamentary Elections 
Act, 1868, complaining of the Return and Elec- 
tion of Henry Robert Brand, Esquire, for the 
Borough of Stroud, on the 24th July last, having 
been duly presented, has been heard before me, 
and, on Thursday 10th instant, I determined that 
the said Henry Robert Brand, Esquire, whose 
Return and Election were so complained of was 
not duly returned nor elected. 

And I now certify such my determination to 
you according to the statute. 

And whereas charges were made of corrupt 
practices having been committed at the said Elec- 
tion, I, in further pursuance of the said Act, 
report as follows :— 


5th February. 











[875. 


That no corrupt practice was proved to have 
been committed by, or with the knowledge or 
consent of any Candidate at such Election. 

That the following persons were proved at the 
trial to have been guilty of the corrupt practice 
of bribery :— 


Persons Bribed. By whom Bribed. 
William Birt - - 
. Henry Bishop - 
William Essex - 
Thomas Hopes - 
. James Howe - —- \ Some persons unknown. 
. Jesse Ind - - 
. Frederick Parkhouse 
8. Joseph Workman - 
9. George Summers J 
10. John Butcher - - Charles Steele. 
11. William Hopes - William Heaven. 
12. George Whiting - John Bishop Daniel. 
Jame ole. 
13. George Wyatt . itu —" + and 


In addition to the above, Joseph Daniels was 
proved guilty of offering bribes to George Aldridge 
and Thomas Merrett; but these bribes were not 
accepted. 

In a case of Isaac Wynn, the money (15s.) was 
given by a stranger, whom he believed to be can- 
vassing for the Conservative candidate. 

I have further to report that several out voters 
were canvassed by strangers with whom the Agents 
of Mr, Brand denied all knowledge or connection, 
and that the bribes in these cases were payments 
of excessive fares for travelling. 

In two instances these persons were afterwards 
identified by the voters, and were proved before 
me to be Jumes Yard Coles and John Bishop Daniel, 
both of Taunton. 

There was also another stranger shown to have 
been actively engaged in conjunction with William 
Heaven (a briber) in canvassing voters in the 
Avenning district ofthe Borough of Stroud, and b 
whom four voters were proved to have been bribed. 
All knowledge of this person was also denied by 
the Agents of Mr. Brand. The bribes averaged 
from 2s. 6d. to 21. 

Ihave further to report that after the Election 
the said William Heaven, who had been employed 
by the Agents of the Respondent to get up evi- 
dence for the trial of the Petition, absconded 
early in November, to prevent the disclosures he 
must have made in evidence. 

I have also to report that in October last the 
above-named person in the bribed list, Joseph 
Workman (and his wife), were induced to emigrate 
to America; and that two persons in the above list 
of bribers, viz., John Bishop Daniel and Joseph 
Daniels, were engaged in sending them away. 

The circumstances were such as to induce me 
to believe that this was done with the knowledge 
of one at least of the Agents of the Respondent. 

I have also to report that, as the claim of the 
seat was struck out of the Petition, the evidence 
of corrupt practices were necessarily confined to 
those that could be proved against the Respon- 
dent’s party. 

It was attempted to be shown that some treat- 
ing had taken place at the Jmperial Hotel, but 
that failed, though the books had some appearance 
of untrue entries. 

I have, however, to state that there was a fund 
of about 1,2007, subscribed by about six gentle- 
men of the Liberal party, and which was called a 
“ Decoration Fund.” It was handed to Mr. Ed- 
win Michell (who had been the chief Election 
Agent of the Liberal Candidates in the previous 
Elections of February and May, and was the ex- 

ense Agent of Mr. Brand in the last Election in 

uly), and by him was handed over in September 


IAN WOW 








last to Mr. Ff rederick Lewis, a draper, of Stroud.

Chatham Writ.

$8 Vicrorta. 





It was said that this fun was subscribed for the 
purpose of paying for a large number of flags and 
hanners that were used in the February Election 
(when Mr. Michell said, “ the town went mad”). 

It was not, however, clearly shown how this 
fund had been expended; some accounts were 
produced and some receipts. 

But in the result, I am not able to report whether 
the furd was in part used for the purposes of the 
July Election. 

Enough appeared to satisfy me that it was not 
all used for the purpose for which it was pro- 
fessedly subscribed, and certainly it was not dealt 
with in a manner which was altogether free from 
suspicion. 

I have no reason to believe that corrupt prac- 
tices have extensively prevailed at the Election to 
which the Petjtion relates. 

I have the honour to be, Sir, 
Your obedient Servant, 
G. Pigott. 

To the Right Honourable The Speaker 

of the House of Commons. 


And the said Certificate and Reports were or- 
dered to be entered in the Journals of this House.

be actually elected, and shall not have declined to 
serve, for any County, City, or Borough of Great

Election of any Member to serve in Parliament. 

Resolved, That it is a high infringement of the 
liberties and privileges of the Commons of the 
United Kingdom, for any Lord of Parliament, or 
other Peer or Prelate, not being a Peer of Jreland 
at the time elected, and not having declined to 
serve for any County, City, or Borough of Great 
Britain, to concern himself in the Election of 
Members to serve for the Commons in Parliament, 
except only any Peer of Ireland, at such Elections 
in Great Britain respectively, where such Peer 
shall appear as a Candidate, or by himself, or any 
others, be proposed to be elected; or for any 
Lord Lieutenant or Governor of any County to 
avail himself of any authority derived from his 
Commission, to influence the Election of any 
Member to serve for the Commons in Parlia- 
ment.

B3 My 




















































My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


It is with great satisfaction that I again meet 
se and resort to the advice and assistance of My 

arliament. 

I continue to receive assurances of friendship 
from all Foreign Powers. The peace of Europe 
has remained, and I trust will remain, unbroken. 
To preserve and consolidate it will ever bea main 
object of My endeavours. 

The Conference held at Brussels on the Laws 
and Usages of. War has concluded its sittings. 
My Government have carefully examined the 
reports of its proccedings ; but, bearing in mind, 
on the one hand, the importance of the principles 
involved, and, on the other, the widely divergent 
opinions which were there expressed, and the im- 
probability of their being reconciled, 1 have not 
thought it right to accede to proposals which have 
been made for further negotiations on the subject. 
The Correspondence which has passed will be pre- 
sented to you. 

The Government of Spain, presided over by 
Marshal Serrano, has ceased to exist, and the 
Prince of Asturias has been called to the Throne 
under the title of King Alfonso XII. The question 
of formally recognising, in concert with other 
Powers, the newly-restored Monarchy, is at this 
moment before My Government, and its decision 
will not be long delayed. It is My earnest hope 
that internal peace may be speedily restored to a 
great, but unfortunate, country. 

The exertions of My Naval and ConsularServants 
in the repression of the East African Slave Trade 
have not been relaxed, and I confidently trust that 
they will bring about the complete extinction of a 
traffic equally repugnant to humanity and injurious 
to legitimate commerce. 

The differences which had arisen between China 
and Japan, and which at one time threatened to 
lead to War between those States, have been hap- 
pily adjusted. Ihave learnt with pleasure that 
the good offices of My Minister at /ekin have 
been largely instrumental in bringing about this 
result. 

The past year has been one of general prosperity 
and progress throughout My Colonial Empire. 

On the Gold Coast a steady advance has been 
made in the establishment of Civil Government, 
peace has been maintained, and I have procured 
the assent of the protected tribes to the Abolition 
of Slavery. Henceforward, I trust, freedom will 
exist there, as in every part of My Dominions. 

In Natal I have found myself under the neces- 
sity of reviewing the sentence which had been 
passed upon a Native Chief, and of considering the 
condition of the Tribes, and their relatious to the 
European Settlers and My Government. 1 doubt 
not that I shall have your concurrence in any 
measures which it may become My duty to adopt 
for ensuring a wise and humane system of Native 
Administration in that part of South Africa. 

Papers will be laid before you on these several 
matters. 

‘Lhe King and Chiefs of Fiji having made a new 
offer of their Islands unfettered by conditions, I 
have thought it right to accept the cession of a 
Territory which, independently of its large natural 
resources, offers important maritime advantages to 
My Fleets in the Pacific. 

An ample harvest has restored prosperity to the 
Provinces of My Eastern Empire which last year 
were visited by Famine. By the blessing of 
Providence My Indian Government has been able 
entirely to avert the loss of life which I had 
reason to apprehend from that great calamity. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


I have directed the Estimates of the year to be 
prepared and presented to you without delay. 














5th February. 1875. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


The condition of the Finances is satisfactory. 
The Trade of the Country in the past year has 
somewhat fallen short of that of the year before, 
but the general prosperity of the People, supported 
as it has been by an excellent harvest, as alin by 
the great reductions lately made in taxation, has 
led to a steady increase in the consumption of all 
the necessaries of life, and of those articles which 
contribute to the revenue. 

The various Statutes of an exceptional or tem- 
porary nature now in force for the Preservation 
of Peace in /reland will be brought to your notice, 
with a view to determine whether some of them 
may not be dispeneed with. 

everal measures which were unavoidably post- 
poned at the end of last Session will be again in- 
troduced. Among the most important are those 
for simplifying the Transfer of Land, and com- 
leting the reconstruction of the Judicature. 

Bills will be also laid before you for facilitating 
the Improvement of the Dwellings of the Work- 
ing Classes in large Towns; for the Consolidation 
and Amendment »f the Sanitary Laws; and for 
the Prevention of the Pollution of Rivers. 

A measure has been prepared for consolidating 
and amending the Laws relating to Friendly So- 
cieties. Its object will be to assist, without un- 
necessarily interfering with the laudable efforts of 
My People, tomake provision for themselves against 
some of the calamities of life. 

A Bill for the Amendment of the Merchant 
Shipping Acts will be laid before you. 

Your attention will be moreover directed to le- 
gislation for the better security of My subjects 
from personal violence, and for more effectually 
providing for the trial of offences by establishing 
the office of a Public Prosecutor. 

Although the Report of the Commission issued 
by Me to inquire into the state and working of the 
Law as to Offences connected with Trade has not 
yet been made to Me, I trust that any legislation 
on. this subject which may be found to be expe- 
dient may-take place in the present Session. 

You will also be invited to consider a mea- 
sure for improving the Law as to Agricultural 
Tenancies. 

I commend to your careful consideration these 
and other measures which may be submitted to 
you, and I pray that your deliberations may, under 
the Divine blessing, result in the happiness and 
contentment of My People. 


Resolved, That an humble Address be presented Resolution for 
to Her Majesty, to thank Her Majesty for the Address.

calamity : 


Humbly to thank Her Majesty for informing us ; 


that the Estimates for the approaching financial 
year will be laid before us without delay, that the 
condition of the Finances is satisfactory, and that 
the gencral prosperity of the People, supported by 
an excellent harvest, as well as by the recent

Ordered, That the Committee on Group C. of 
Private Bills have leave to make a Special Report 
in the case of the Birmingham (Corporation) 
Water Bill. 

Mr. William Henry Gladstone reported from 
the said Committee, That they had agreed to a 
Special Report, as followeth : 

Your Committee have to report to the House 
that the 63rd Section of the Birmingham Improve- 
ment Act, i851, by which it is enacted “ that no 
application shall be made to Parliament by the 
Council for further powers, or for power to raise 
further sums of money for the purposes of that Act 
er for the purposes of any further or otber Act, 
until the Council shall, by notice given for two 
consecutive weeks in at least two of the newspapers 
published in the borough, have called a public 
meeting of the ratepayers of the borough, at which 
meeting the Council of the borough shall cause to 
be stated the object of the intended application to 
Parliament, nor unless at such meeting the Council 
shall be authorised by a majority of the ratepayers 
present at such meeting to make such application,” 
was not strictly complied with, and that the con- 
sent of the ratepayers was not formally obtained 
until the twenty-sixth of February, subsequent to 
the Second Reading of the Bill. 

Your Committee are of opinion that the Pro- 
moters in taking this course had no intention of 
proceeding against the wishes of the ratepayers, or 
of evading the provisions of the Act of 1851, but 
that they did not call the ratepayers together at 
an earlier date because negotiations were in pro- 
gress with the Water Company, on the issue of 
which the scheme to be submitted to the meeting 
would depend. 

Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table ; 
and be printed. 

Mr. William Henry Gladstone also reported from 
the said Committee ; That in the case of the said 
Bill, they had examined the allegations contained 
in the Preamble of the Bill, and amended the 
same by adding recitals as to the Acts of Parlia- 
ment under which the Birmingham Waterworks 











Company is empowered to supply Water to the 
Town of Birmingham and its neighbourhood, as 
well as other recitals having reference to a 
meeting of the ratepayers of the Borough, held 
on the 26th day of Pabees 1875, under the 
Birmingham Improvement Act, 1851, and to the 
estimates prepared by the Corporation for the pur- 
chase of the undertaking of the Company, in order 
to make it consistent with the provisions of the 
Bill as passed by the Committee, and found the 
same, as amended, to be true, and that a Report 
from the Local Government Board had been iaid 
before the Committee, and considered by them; 
and that they had adopted such of the recom- 
mendations therein contained as appeared to them 
applicable to the circumstances of the case sub- 
mitted to them; and that they had gone through 
the Bill, and made Amendments thereunto. 
Ordered, That the Report do lie upon the Table.

miners of Petitions for Private Bills. 


Controverted 
Elections. 


Mr. Speaker informed the House, That he had 
received from Mr. Justice Lush, one of the Judges 
on thé rota for the Trial of Election Petitions, a 
Certificate and Report relating to the Election 


For the City of Norwich. 
And the same were read, as follow :— 


City of Norwich Election held on the 
5th March 1875. 


In the matter of the Petition by Francis Ames 
against Jacob Henry Tillett, Esquire. 
Sir, 
In obedience to the directions of “ The Parlia- 
mentary Elections Act, 1868,”-I beg to certify 
and report— . 


Ist. That the above Petition complained, amongst 
other things, that the Respondent had by himself, 
and by others, been guilty of bribery by colourable 
employment of Voters at the said Election. 

2nd. That the trial came on before me at Nor- 
wich on the 5th May instant, and that on the 8th 
instant, after several witnesses had been called in 
support of the above allegation, the Respondent 
declined further to contest the seat, and I being of 
— from the evidence, that the alleged em- 
ployment was colourable, and a device for securing 
or remunerating votes, determined that the Re- 
— was, by his agents, guilty of bribery at 
the said Election. 

3rd. That no corrupt practice was proved to 
have been committed by or with the knowledge or 
consent of the Respondent. 

4th. That the inquiry having been thus termi- 
nated when evidence relating to two only out of 


Norwich 
Election. 


ith May. 











1875. 


the eight wards into which the Parliamentary Bo- 
rough is divided, had been given, I am not in a 
condition to report, as an ascertained fact, that 
corrupt practices did extensively prevail at such 
Election ; but inasmuch as it was proved that 116 
persons were “set on” or entered as messengers in 
the 7th ward, nearly all of whom were voters, and 
36 in the 2nd ward, many of whom were voters ; 
that such employment was considered the ordinar 
practice at an Election; was resorted to by bot 

arties ; and excused, if not justified, as a necessity, 
‘I see no reason to doubt that what was done in 
these wards was done in the others, and I am there- 
fore of opinion that there is reason to believe that 
corrupt practices did extensively prevail at such 
Election. 

5th. For the same reason I am unable to give 
the names of the persons implicated in the other 
six wards. Each ward had its manager, by whom 
all arrangements of this nature were made. The 
manager of the 7th ward, in which so large a num- 
ber of voters was engaged, was Samuel Bennett, 
with whom was associated Robert Breeze, and these 
persons were _— to have given the employ- 
ment, and made the payments to the 116 persons 
* set on” in that ward, such employment being in 
my opinion colourable. 

The manager of the’ second ward was Alfred 
Kent, who also employed and paid the 36 persons 
‘‘set on” in that ward. The evidence stopped 
short of proving what proportion of these consisted 
of voters, and as the number of persons employed 
was so much smaller, and as only two of the wit- 
nesses to speak to this part of the case had been 
examined when the Respondent surrendered, I 
cannot satisfactorily report as to Mr. Kent’s par- 
ticipation in the corrupt intent. 

I forbear io report the recipients, as they were 
examined under subpoenas, and are entitled to 
a certificate under the 33rd section of the Act. 


I have the honour to be, Sir, 
Your obedient Servant, 
Robt. Lush, 


One of the Judges on the Rota for the 
Trial of Election Petitions. 
Westminster, May 11th, 1875. 


And the said Certificate and Report were or- 
dered to be entered in the Journals of this House. 


The Order of the day being read, for the Second Tenants Com 
Reading of the Tenants Compensation Bill ; nie 
Ordered, That the Bill be read a second time

‘‘ has been inevitably hampered in its operation by 
“the great reductions which it has been deemed 
“ necessary to make in the number of officers of 
“all ranks; and that until the effect of those 
“ reductions has passed away, some of the special 
“ provisions of the Orders in Cvuuncil require 
‘* amendment or extension,” instead thereof. 

And the Question being proposed, That the 
words proposed to be left out stand part of the 
Question ;

Mr. Raikes reported from the Committee ap- Burntisland 
pointed to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the Harbour Bill. 
Lords for disagreeing to certain of the Amend- 
ments made by their Lordships to the Burntisland 
Harbour Bill; That they had drawn up Reasons 
accordingly, which they had directed him to report 
to the House; and the same were read, as follow: 

1. The Commons disagree to the Amend- 
ment on the Preamble, because the Agree- 
ment therein referred to was confirmed by 
Parliament, and affects the interests of the 
public, and the consent of the two bodies who 
were directly parties thereto is not sufficient 
to make it expedient that any part thereof 
should be cancelled or repealed. 

2. The Commons disagree to Clause A. 
because it imposes upon all occupiers of houses 
and other property within the Town of Burnt- 
island, although totally unconnected with 
and not interested in the Harbour, a liability 
for increased police rates to meet any defi- 
ciency in the sinking fund provided by the 
Bill for repaying money borrowed for ‘Har- 
bour purposes ; and because the (razette and 
Newspaper notices of the Bill contained no 
intimation whatever of such a proposal. 

3. The Commons disagree to Clause B. 
because it repeals the 7th Article of the Agree- 
ment confirmed by Parliament as aforesaid, 
which restricted the railway rates leviable 
by the North British Railway Company upon 
traffic to and from the Harbour of Burntis- 
land, and by such repeal inflicts serious injury 
upon the traders,-and the Notices of the Bill 
published in the Gazette and Newspapers 
contained no intimation of any alteration of 
those rates or of the Agreement. 

4. The Commons disagree to the above’ 
Amendments also, because they were made 
at ‘the instance of the Promoters, when the 
Bill was _— through the House of Lords 
unopposed, and when the traders interested 
had no reason to suppose that their interests 








would be prejudiced.

Mr. Charley reported from the Committee ap- 
pene to draw up Reasons to be assigned to the 

ords for disagreeing to one of the Amendments

between Children and Young Persons. 

The said Reason being read a second time, was

Burntisland, and for other purposes. 


And afterwards, Her Majesty’s most gracious Queen’s 
Speech was delivered to both Houses of Parlia- 5? 
ment by the Lord High Chancellor, in pursuance 
of Her Majesty’s Commands, as followeth : 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


I am happy to be enabled to release you from 
your attendance in Parliament. 

The relations between Myself and all Foreign 
Powers continue to be cordial, and I look forward 
with hope and confidence to the uninterrupted 
maintenance of European Peace. 

The visit paid to this Country, on the invitation 
of My Government, by the Ruler of Zanzibar, has 
led to the conclusion of a Supplementary Con- 
vention, which, I trust, may be efficacious for the 
more complete suppression of the East African 
Slave Trade. 

I have learnt with deep regret that the Expe- 
dition despatched by My Indian Government from 
Burmah, with a view to open communications with 
the Western Provinces of China, has been 
treacherously attacked by an armed force while on 
Chinese territory. This outrage, unhappily in- 
volving the death of a young and promising mem- 
ber of My Consular Service, is the subject of 
careful inquiry; and no effort shall be spared to 
secure the punishment of those by whom it was 
instigated and committed. 

The condition of My Colonial Empire is gene 
rally prosperous. Progress has been made in the 
settlement of questions affecting the Constitution 
and Government of Natal; and I confidently look 
for important and valuable results from the pro- 
posal for a Conference of the South African Co- 
lonies and States. 


Gentlemen of the House of Commons, 


I thank you for the liberal Supplies which you 
have voted for the Public Service. 


My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


It is gratifying to Me to find that the lengthened 
consideration you have given to the various 
Statutes which have, from time to time, been passed 
for the Preservation of Peace in Jreland, has re- 
sulted in a Measure which, while relaxing the 
stringency of former enactments, is calculated to 
maintain the tranquillity of that Country. 

I have, with pleasure, given My Assent to an 
Act for facilitating the Improvement of the 
Dwellings of the Working Classes in Large Towns, 
which will, I trust, lead to the decrease of many &lt; 
the

the principal causes of disease, misery, and crime. 
I feel sure that this legislation, together with that 
relating to the Consolidation and Amendment of 
the Sanitary Laws, and of the Laws relating to 
Friendly Societies, will greatly promote the moral 
and physical welfare of My people. 

It has afforded Me much satisfaction to give M 
Assent to two important Statutes for the Amend- 
ment of the Acts relating to Master and Servant 
and Trade Offences, and of the Law of Conspiracy 
as connected with these offences—Statutes which 
will, I trust, place the relations of employers and 
employed on a just and equal footing, and add to 
the contentment and good will of large classes of 
My Subjects. 

Among the Enactments which you have passed 
for the improvement of the law, I am well pleased 
to observe that a comprehensive measure for simpli- 
fying the title and facilitating the Transfer of Land 
in England has taken its place in the Statute 
Book ; that an Act has been passed for the Amend- 
ment of the Law of Entail in Scotland; and that 
you have made provision, by amending the Judi- 
cature Act of 1873, for bringing the great changes 
in my Civil Courts and their procedure which it 
inaugurated, into immediate and practical effect. 

The state of Public Business, and the differences 
of opinion naturally arising on a varied and com- 
prehensive scheme, have unfortunately prevented 
you from completing the consideration of the Mer- 
chant Shipping Bill, but I rejoice that you have 
been able, by a temporary Enactment, to diminish 
considerably the dangers to which My seafaring 
Subjects are exposed. 

By the Agricultural Holdings Act, you have 
greatly and beneficially enlarged the powers of 
owners, limited in interest, to offer to their tenants 
a sufficient security for judicious outlay upon the 








13th August. 449 


farms they occupy, and, while maintaining absolute 
freedom of contract, you have raised a presump- 
tion of rights, under which a new inducement will 
be given to expend capital upon the improvement 
of land. 

1 have every reason to hope that the progress of 
the Revenue, which has marked recent years, will be 
fully sustained in the present. The arrangements 
which you have made with respect to the reduction 
of the National Debt, and those for the better re- 
gulation of Loans for Public Works, will lead to 
valuable improvements in our system of Imperial 
and Local Finance. 

The enactment for a Registration of Trade 
Marks will supply a deficiency that has for some 
time been felt in our commercial system. 

I trust that the Act constituting a new Bishop- 
ric at Saint Albans may prove advantageous to the 
vast Population of the Dioceses affected by the 
measure. 

In bidding you farewell for the recess, I pray 
that the blessing of Providence may fall on your 
recent labours, and accompany you in the dis- 
charge of all your duties. 


Then a Commission for proroguing the Parlia- Parliament 


ment was read. 
After which the Lord Chancellor said :— 
My Lords, and Gentlemen, 


By virtue of Her Majesty’s Commission, under 
the Great Seal, to us and other Lords directed, 
and now read, we do, in Her Majesty’s Name, and 
in obedience to Her Commands, prorogue this 
Parliament to Friday the Twenty-ninth day of 
October next, to be then here holden; and this 
Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Friday the 
Twenty-ninth day of October next.
