Surrender of Carolina and Bribery Bill Pass Third Reading
A May 6 session notes three engrossed Bills read for the third time and passed. The Lords returned the anti bribery in elections bill with amendments increasing penalties to 500 pounds and strengthening forfeiture and voting disqualifications for anyone paying or accepting money or gifts to influence votes in parliamentary elections. The act defines legal votes by last Commons determination and imposes disability from voting or holding office on violators.
