Annual Register

Excerpt from Annual Register: A Review of Public Events at Home and Abroad, for the Year 1867 Mr. Bright recommended the Government to profit by the advice which he had given Lord Russell last year, to bring in a Franchise Bill first; for in that branch of the question lay the greatest grievance - the exclusion of the working classes. In the question of redistribution there was no particular class grievance, and its settlement might be postponed for some time, more particu larly as the proposals of the Government on this oint were utterly inad uate, not to say absurd. A Franchise B' might be easily carri this year, if it were not clogged with the debatable details of a Redistribution scheme.
