Most of these questions are selected from a number carefully drawn up by a Committee of intelligent men jn England, who had made themselves well acquainted with the laws of their country. 1. — Will you bind yourself to accept from no Minister place, promise, or favor of .whatever description, or to look for such ? • * 2. — Will you oppose eve i-.y measure for the increase of Customs, and usa,yaur best endeavours to lessen or abobsh them, and will you seek to establish taxation on the scale of property ? 3. — Do you bind yourself to resist by every means every vote of money incurred or to he incurred for purposes that arc not strictly lawful, or strictly necessary^----4.— Do you bold the dutjap^ffa Member of the House of lk-preseii||sKves to consist in pro-,^ feeling the podffts, morals, trade, rights! and Hbortie^jlfß? bis constituents and thevj country wgamst Ministers, or in .having 1 opinions upon abstract subjects ? 5. — Do you conceive the business of a Minister .^JsL be tbe enforcing' of tbe laws that exist, y^ orihe making of new ones ? 6. — Do you bold the duties of a Member to consist in the enquiry into grievances with a view to their redress, or in uniting himself to a party ? 7. — Do you hold that a Member requires any qualifications, such as tht; knowledge of Constitutional Law, and of the transactions in which the Government involves the country ?
