Debated Seat Qualifications and Debtor Debates in Parliament
Mr Stephen argues that the propriety of disqualification for the hon member for Castlemaine is unfounded since the property qualification has been repealed. He notes any destitute person could hold a seat and questions why the hon member should be barred. He cites editor Mr Chapman and criticizes debt payments to a landlady’s daughter as improper. The motion is withdrawn in the discussion.
