1. Distinction between county and borough franchise.
" The knight of the shire was a man of the county which elected him. The borough member was ordinarily a burgess of the borough which he represented. But the rule was not followed in the case o...f the county. When the position of a member of Parliament became a privilege, rich men evaded the law by being admitted to the free burghership of the town. The election in a borough was not con- ducted on the principle which was uniformly in force in the sur- rounding county. In some towns the whole of the inhabitants, in others the rate-payers, in others again the governing bodies, chose the representatives. Originally, indeed, the borough franchise was proba- bly wide, and included either the whole of the adult male inhabi- tants of the borough, or those of them, at any rate, who paid scot and lot, as the local and general taxes were called, or enjoyed the freedom of the community.
