The Poll for Two Knights of the Shire for the West Riding of Yorkshire

Candidates:
The Hon. John Stuart Wortley,
Edmund Beckett Denison, Esquire,
The Right Hon. Lord Viscount Morpeth,
The Right Hon. Lord Viscount Milton.

 

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 2 candidates votes were cast for. Wortley and Denison represented the Conservative party (They were elected) and Milton and Morpeth were Whigs.

An * after the elector's name indicates that he is a yearly occupier at a rental of £50.
