(1848)
On 14 and 15 December 1848 an election took place for a Knight of the Shire for the West Riding of Yorkshire in the House of Commons. The candidates were Edmund Denison and sir Culling Eardley Eardley, gaining 14,743 and 11,795 votes respectively. The county franchise at this period included freeholders of land worth 40s or more a year; £10 copyholders and long-leaseholders; and £50 short-leaseholders and tenants. This poll book was published in 1849.
Former poll books had been compiled from the sheriff's returns; but as these were now transmitted to the Home Office immediately after an election, in this instance the polling was marked from the check-clerk's returns, carefully compared with the registers marked in the poll booths at the time of voting.
The votes for the respective candidates are indicated by the numerals 1 (Denison) and 2 (Eardley). The omission of these numerals indicates that the elector did not vote. Many names which appear on the register of particular townships are completely omitted in this poll book: in all these cases, the same name will be found recorded in some other township, the elector having two or more qualifications. In such cases, his name only appears in the poll book in the actual township for which he chose to vote; or, if he did not vote at all, in that township for which he was qualified that lay closest to his actual residence.
The townships are arranged alphabetically within polling district; and within each township the names are arranged alphabetically by surname and christian name, and the elector's residence is given. Many of the electors resided outside the township for which they were qualified - some in other counties. Moreover, at the end of each polling district there is a list of persons registered to poll in that district, from townships is other districts. STEELE. Cost: £6.00.  | Sample scan, click to enlarge

| Manufacturers and Traders Petitioning the Mint
(1848)
This memorial of Manufacturers and Traders, mainly of London and Edinburgh, was presented to the Lords Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury, expressing 'their grateful satisfaction at the course pursued by your Lordships in regard to the Chinese treasure received as the ransom of Canton, whereby the gold contained in the Sycee silver and dollars was extracted at the Royal Mint and made beneficial to British interests', and urging that 'a similar refinement of the treasure since paid, or hereafter to be paid, as an indemnity by the Chinese, may be adopted, and that the price usually allowed in the London market for refining may be realized at once among British manufacturers, tradesmen, and artisans, before the bullion shall be sold to serve as a remittance either now or hereafter to foreign countries.' The petition is undated; was produced in evidence to a royal commission in 1848; and refers to the ransom of Canton, arising from the Treaty of Nanking 29 August 1842.STEELE.

| British Army officers in the annexation of the Punjab
(1845-1849)
By 1845 the Sikh state of Lahore was the remaining substantial military power in the Indian sub-continent outside British rule. Its khalsa army was well equipped, disciplined, tenacious and had three European officers among its commanders. The sikhs controlled not only the Punjab, but Pathan tribes as far as the border with Afghanistan, and the whole of Kashmir. The river Sutlej formed the boundary between the Sikh state and British India. In early December 1845 the Sikh army crossed the Sutlej and invested the British garrisons at Ferozepore; 13 December 1845 the British declared war. After defeat in a series of battles, at Moodkee (18-21 December), Ferozeshah (21-22 December); Budhowal and Aliwal (23 December, 28 January); and Sobraon (10 February 1846), the state of Lahore submitted to the Treaty of Lahore, ceding the Punjab between the Sutlej and the Beas, Kashmir, and paying half a crore of rupees. The state of Lahore itself continued under the durbar as a British protectorate during the minority of the young maharajah; and the Sikh army was put under British command. Kashmir was sold by the British to the ruler of Jammu for a crore, and the submission of Kashmir to Jammu was effected by a Sikh force under British officers. British garrisons were placed in the Punjab, but the fort at Multan refused to submit, and had to be besieged. During the siege a Sikh regiment defected to join other khalsa remnants, in defiance of the durbar at Lahore, and raised a rebellion (August 1848 to January 1849). Battles at Chillianwalla (13 January 1849) and Gujerat (21 February 1849) destroyed the Sikh army. The British then annexed the whole of the Punjab, incorporating it into British India. This account of the Annexation of Punjab by Arthur D. Innes and General Charles Gough was published in 1897, but with a poor index; we have remedied that. The account also includes a description of the battles of Maharajapore and Puniar (29 December 1843) by which the army of Gwalior was destroyed. STEELE. Cost: £6.00. | Sample scan, click to enlarge
