Aldborough | |
---|---|
Former borough constituency for the House of Commons | |
County | West Riding of Yorkshire |
Major settlements | Aldborough |
1558–1832 | |
Seats | Two |
Replaced by | West Riding of Yorkshire |
Aldborough was a parliamentary borough located in the West Riding of Yorkshire, abolished in the Great Reform Act of 1832.
Boundaries
Aldborough was a small borough (not even including the whole parish of Aldborough, since Boroughbridge, also within the boundaries, was also a borough with its own two MPs), and by the time of the Reform Act it had a population only just over 500 and an electorate of less than 100. This made it a pocket borough and easy for the local landowner to dominate.
History
Aldborough returned two Members of Parliament (MPs) from 1558 until 1832.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] It was a "scot and lot" borough, meaning that any man paying the poor rate was eligible to vote.
In the 18th century, Aldborough was controlled by the Duke of Newcastle. In April 1754 Newcastle, who had just become Prime Minister, selected his junior colleague and future Prime Minister, William Pitt (Pitt the Elder), to sit as its MP. Pitt represented Aldborough for two-and-a-half years, but having fallen out with Newcastle and been dismissed from his ministry, he was forced to find a new constituency when he next needed to be re-elected to the Commons in 1756.

Notes
- ^ Lambert was also elected for Pontefract, which he chose to represent. The vacancy was unfilled when the Parliament ended
- ^ At the by-election in November 1673, the Returning Officer made a double return of Reresby and Robert Benson; the dispute was decided in Reresby's favour, and he took his seat, in April 1675.
- ^ Sir John Reresby was declared re-elected at the general election in February 1679 but unseated on petition, Copley being elected in his place.
- ^ Fairfax's election was voided by a resolution of the House of Commons (21 December 1696) for breaking the law in his spending on the election; the writ to hold a new election was not issued until December 1697
- ^ A petition was raised against Dawnay's election that had not been resolved by the time the Parliament was dissolved. Dawnay had also been elected for Pontefract and, not being required to choose which constituency he would represent while there was an outstanding petition against one of the elections, sat for both boroughs throughout the Parliament
- ^ Stanhope was also elected for Cockermouth, which he chose to represent, and never sat for Aldborough
- ^ Pelham was also elected for Sussex, which he chose to represent, and never sat for Aldborough
- ^ Sutton was also elected for Sandwich, which he chose to represent, and never sat for Aldborough
- ^ Sir Richard Arden from 1788
