Synopsis
Exposure Of The Corrupt System Of Elections At Rye by Edward Barrett Curteis. This historical pamphlet, originally published in London in 1858, documents the Rye borough election of 1852 and the alleged corrupt practices orchestrated by Jeremiah Smith and his circle to secure the return of Mackinnon. It recounts the sequence of events, including the rejection of an alternative candidate, the widespread use of treating and loans to influence voters, and the substantial sums spent at public houses to sway outcomes. The work covers the subsequent inquiries, including a Select Committee’s examination, the admission of perjury by Smith, and the role of under-agents in tracing financial obligations to electors. It explains how a system of loans and treating extended to borough and parish elections, and it argues for legislative reform to deter such corruption. Despite official exposure, the text notes the enduring influence of the loan-based system and urges decisive action to ensure fair and independent elections in Rye.
