Political pressure and legal action over Westminster elections
A debate centers on a powerful association targeting editors and electors, with claims of coercive jury rules and politically motivated prosecutions. Edward King petitions Parliament for discovery of the association’s authors, while discussions on Scotch burghs, water-works evidence, and an Agricultural Horse Tax repeal follow. The tax vote ends with a large ministerial defeat and leave to bring in a repeal bill.
