NRY HISTORY
CONTENTS:

THE PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS. Previous to the year 1832, the North Riding had no parliamentary representation separate from the whole county; but by the Reform Bill of that year two members were allotted to each Riding; the boroughs of Aldborough, Boroughbridge, and Hedon were disfranchised, and those of Northallerton and Thirsk were deprived of one member. Bradford, Halifax, Leeds, and Sheffield were constituted parliamentary boroughs with two members each, and Huddersfield, Wakefield, and Whitby with one member each. The Ainsty of York was for parliamentary purposes united with the North Riding. The Reform Act of 1868 deprived Richmond and Malton of one representative each, and conferred the electoral dignity on Middlesbrough, to which was allotted one member, but the Riding otherwise remained unaltered.

Under the Redistribution of Seats Act, 1885, the North Riding was divided into four Electoral Divisions, viz., Cleveland, Richmond, Thirsk and Malton, and Whitby. The boroughs of Malton, Northallerton, Richmond, and Thirsk were disfranchised, and amalgamated with the Parliamentary Divisions in which they are situated, and Scarborough was deprived of one member. The parishes and places comprised in each of these Parliamentary Divisions are described in alphabetical order under their respective headings in the following pages, and need not be here repeated.
