Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a historical dispute surrounding the English borough of Petersfield in the 1820s.

The author provides extensive docume…ntation, including entries from the House of Commons Journals and the vestry order-book. The resolution of this dispute in 1727 had significant implications for the borough's electoral landscape, as it established that only freeholders of specific types of property could participate in elections.
