  • Westminster Ratepayer Franchise
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 3.4 THE ELECTORAL FRANCHISE IN THE CITY OF WESTMINSTER In the case of Westminster, a case study of the pre-1832 constituency reveals the complexity of determining who was entitled to vote (and which electors therefore might subsequently appear in the LED). The situation in detail was complicated and provided much work for attorneys specialising in election law. Yet the broad principle was sustained by custom and later became clarified after a series of disputes. In summary, then, Westminster electors prior to 1832 were qualified by being householders liable to ‘pay scot’ (parish rates) and ‘bear lot’ (serving their turn in minor parochial offices under the houseman system). 3.4.1 Westminster franchise pre-1832 The complexities developed in part because, before 1795, the House of Commons had made no determination concerning Westminster’s franchise. Until then, the franchise of the constituency was based on longstanding custom handed down from one high bailiff to his successor, and interpreted anew by each in response to changing circumstances. At the scrutiny that followed the election of 1749, counsel for Sir George Vandeput argued that according to customary usage the right of election lay with ‘the inhabitant householders within the … city and liberty paying scot and lot, and in the several of chambers in the Inns of Chancery’.1 Counsel for Lord Trentham took a wider view, arguing that the right of election lay ‘in the inhabitant householders within the city and liberties of Westminster’.2

  • 8 Government in Early Modern London: the Challenge of the Suburbs
    8 Government in Early Modern London: The Challenge of the Suburbs IAN W. ARCHER I TO JUDGE FROM THE CONTENT OF RECENT LITERATURE on the government of early modern London, an exercise in word association among historians would probably produce the result ‘Government of London: Stability’. The key components of the explanation for the fundamental orderliness of the capital are (with varying degrees of emphasis among the contributors to the debate): the concentration of central authority in a unitary monied élite combined with dispersal of power among local units of parishes, wards and guilds, high levels of participation in local and guild gov- ernment, a fruitful symbiotic relationship with the Crown, and the elaboration of sophisticated social policies to tackle the capital’s problems.1 A major problem with the emerging consensus, however, is that it rests overwhelmingly on evidence drawn from the area under the jurisdiction of the lord mayor and aldermen of London, and much of it is elusive about what it means by ‘London’. As the metropolitan area expanded, the proportion of its population subjected to the authority of the city authorities declined dramatically. Whereas about three-quarters of the population of the metropolitan area in 1560 resided in the city, by 1700 the proportion was only one-quarter.2 1 V.

  • 'London, Thou Great Emporium of Our Isle': Dryden Writing the City
    ‘London, thou great emporium of our Isle’: Dryden writing the city Samuel James Burton Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of English September 2019 ii The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others. This copy has been supplied on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. The right of Samuel James Burton to be identified as author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Ó The University of Leeds and Samuel James Burton iii Acknowledgements This thesis began life as a weekly essay written in Michaelmas term 2013 for a special author paper on John Dryden. The original essay was little more than two thousand words in length, looking principally at Dryden’s two direct addresses to London in Annus Mirabilis and The Medall. That it transformed into a doctoral thesis owes much to the enthusiasm generated by Peter McCullough. My greatest debt is to my doctoral supervisor, Paul Hammond, for his constant guidance, encouragement and diligence. I must afford thanks for his seemingly endless patience with the most burdensome of students. Catherine Batt was also a source of sage counsel at moments of difficulty. This thesis would not have been possible without the generosity of Kate and Jason Gatenby, as well as the School of English at the University of Leeds.

  • Westminster Spatial Classification
    LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY – STEPS TOWARDS DEMOCRACY 7.9 WESTMINSTER AND SPATIAL CLASSIFICATION Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight to touching in its majesty: The City now doth, like a garment, wear The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; Ne’er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will: Dear God! The very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still!1 Wordsworth’s encomium to Westminster viewed from Westminster Bridge was the more flattering in that he was no city lover. He chose a majestic moment of early morning calm. Yet he also – unusually – evoked the metropolitan bustle and commercial hustle: … the quick dance Of colours, lights, and forms, the deafening din; The comers and the goers face to face, Face after face; the string of dazzling wares, Shop after shop, with symbols, blazoned names, And all the tradesmen’s honours overhead.2 2 LONDON ELECTORAL HISTORY Nowhere in the greater metropolis seemed close to its ‘mighty heart’ than Westminster, the home of court, government, law, smart shops, theatre, polite society and Soho’s red lights, as well as rookeries and slums. Not surprisingly, its electoral contests seemed equally to cut to the heart of the political debates.
