Under the Act of 1867, the suffrage was also extended, in boroughs, to the “resident occupier of lodgings of the yearly value of £10 at least if let unfurnished.” NOTE 29, p. 270.--Lines 807–810 from Dryden’s “Absalom and Achitophel,” Part I.

Finally, on June 11, 1860, its sponsor withdrew it. NOTE 32, p. 276.--Shakespeare: “Henry IV.,” Part I., Act i., Scene iii., ll. 201–207.
