Ireland] ELECTION. 41 Reports, 1837- 8— continued. Glancy, James. Of Friskhill, Longford; quantity of land held by him, and rent paid ; it is in a good state oi cultivation; was placed on the registry for Longford in 1832 and struck out by the Committee of 1837, Flood 8765- 8777 - He has a great deal of land under grass at this period; grass land will not bring so great a profit as under tillage; his beneficial interest in the farm would be from 40/. to 50/. a year, Flood 8781- 8787 . He is a wealthy man ; he has another farm in the same county ; he does not want to be in arrears for rent, Flood 8788- 8790 He is a man that labours very little; he looks after his stock, and brings them to market, Flood 8853- 8860. Gould, Richard. ( Analysis of his Evidence.)— Merchant, residing on the South Terrace, Cork, 3943- 3946 Assistant barristers in 1832 made the strictest inquiry as to value previous to allowing persons to register, 3947- 3950 Witness accompanied Mr. Meagher in valuing premises of parties who had voted at the last election, and who resided in the most vulnerable part of the city, 3951- 3953 Evidence thereon, 3955- 3964 Has served on valuation jury, and was a commissioner under the Tithe Com- position Act, 3960- 3962 Number of houses visited by witness, and length of time employed, 3982- 3987 It is no criterion of the value of a house that it is not in the valuation book, 4008. 4018- 4020. The most liberal construction was always given by valuators, grand juries, and parish constables to the local Act in Cork exempting houses let to poor tenants from taxation, 4022- 4078 Many houses in Cork of the value of 10Z. that ought to have valued in 1828 which were not, 4080- 4090. 4100- 4105 All houses of the value of 101, in Cork were valued in 1828, except those let out to lodgers, 4108- 4111 There are very few houses of the value of 81. solely occupied by the owner that were valued, 4112- 4124 Or of the extreme value of 7 I., 4125- 4133 Valuation of 1828 was made upon the principle of preceding juries, 4134- 4149. [ Second Examination.]— Further examination relative to his statement that hundreds of houses worth 10/. a year were passed over by the valuation jury of 1828, 4225- 4232 Evidence respecting the value of houses, & c. occupied by Buckly, Cooney, Cavanagh, Collins, Bolton, & c., 4241- 4259. 4271- 4294. 4312- 4335- 4354~ 4385—— Some of the persons registered by the Conservative interest inhabit houses of the worst description, 4260- 4270 Valuators of 1828 were of opinion that if they preserved the scale of valuation they were doing their duty, 4302- 4311. 4336- 4339 Further evidence relative to the value of certain houses occupied by voters, 4396- 4407 Great number of those appearing on the register have since died, or left the premises out of which they registered, 4409- 4420 Supposed number who did not vote at the last election, 4420- 4426 Number who have lost their qualification, although appearing on the register, 4227- 4429 Many persons have registered in three different capacities, for the purpose of insuring their votes, not for the purpose of swelling the constituency, 4429- 4442 Re- registering has a very evil tendency ; it causes personation, & c., 4443- 4446- It would be a great improvement if the register were examined yearly, if it could be done without occasioning more expense or trouble to one party than to another, 4448- 4450. 4462 Great delay at the first registry in 1832 by the Conservative party; it occupied forty- two working days, 4450- 4453 Number registered, 4454 The register should be checked by the recorder of Cork ; no objection to its being done every week, 4463- 4469 The list of electors might be arranged alphabetically, and then subdivided according to their parishes, 4471- 4474 It is impossible to prevent personation, 4479, 4480- One or two instances of personation on the part of the Liberals ; the great majority of personations were on the Conservative side, 4482- 4486 Confining the election to two days would be beneficial, 4487- 4491 Further evidence as to the benefit to be derived from annual revision of the register, 4502- 4508. [ Third Examination.]— Explanation of former evidence ( questions 4115, 4116) given by witness respecting the principle on which the valuation of 1828 was made, 4607.

Gould thereon, App. i. p. 318 Extract from No. 2, Tabular Return, made by Mr. James Lane, of persons registered as ten- pound householders, who do not appear to be valued at any time, with Mr. Gould's observations thereon, App. \. p. 318 Tabular return made by Mr. James Lane of persons registered as ten- pound householders who were valued in the supplementary valuation of 1833, and upon appeal were struck out, and not charged ; with Mr. Gould's valuation of the premises, App. i. p. 319 Return of the number of dwelling- houses in the city of Cork which are valued in the city rate books, App. i. p. 320.
