North Bierley Township poll for Knights of the Shire 1859

 

Candidates:


Sir John William Ramsden, Baronet.
Frank Crossley, Esq.
The Right Honourable James Stuart Wortley

 

The requirement to vote at that time was that you must own or hold a minimum 60 year lease on land to a minimum value of £10 or be paying a rent at £50 per annum.
The ballot was a public affair and lists like the one we have transcribed below were later published.
A 1 in the column indicates which candidates votes were cast for. Wortley represented the Conservative party, and Ramsden and Crossley were Whigs. Ramsden and Crossley were elected.
