forty‐shilling freeholder

The Oxford Companion to Irish History | 2007 | © The Oxford Companion to Irish History 2007, originally published by Oxford University Press 2007. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

forty‐shilling freeholder, a person who met one of the qualifications for the electoral franchise by owning or holding by a lease for lives (as opposed to for a term of years) land worth 40 shillings per annum after payment of rent and other charges. The absence of a land tax removed the main potential check on fictitious valuations, and ‘40‐shilling freeholder’ was a synonym for the poorest class of voter, until the county franchise was raised to £10 after Catholic emancipation.
