" With a view of put- ting a stop to these abuses a fine of five pounds was imposed on persons bribing or bribed. Candidates guilty of such practices could not be elected to office for a year, and were also subject to a fine of ten pounds. 1 In England the laws against bribery were almost as strin- gent as those in the colonies. A resolution of the House of Commons in 1677 touched upon the subject with special ref- erence, to excessive treating of voters. It was forbidden that after 'the test o...f a writ any meat or drink exceeding " the true value " of ten pounds should be given to electors in any place except at the dwelling place or habitation of a candi- date. That was defined to be the place where he had lived for six months previous to the election. The election of a person offering bribes in this or any other way was declared void. 2 In 1700-1 the lending of money to a corporation without interest with intent to influence the election of such corporation was declared to be an unlawful and dangerous practice.
