Scope and content
A volume containing 'A List of the several Freeholders & Leaseholders of the several Hundreds Precincts and Commotes within the ... County of Cardigan', 1760. The list is arranged under each separate parish, and the information is tabulated under the following columns: 'Freeholders Names', 'Places of Abode', 'Where Freeholders are Situate & what Called', 'Who promised to, or likely to be Influenced by', 'N[on] R[esidents]' and 'L[easeholders]' (where applicable), and 'Occasional Mem[orandu]ms'. The list, which was drawn up for the purpose of the parliamentary election of 1761, has been published, with an introduction by J. H. Davies, in West Wales Historical Records, vol. III, pp. 73-116, with the omission of the details relating to the way electors were expected to vote and who was likely to influence them. Following the list are imperfect 'Abstracts of the several Statutes relating to County Elections', and at the end is an index of parishes. An inscription on the fly-leaf describes the volume as a 'Freehold Book'.
