Excerpt from Encyclopaedia of the Laws of England, Vol. 7: With Forms and Precedents
In addition to illegal practices the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Prevention Act, 1883, created the offences of Illegal Payment, Illegal Employment, and Illegal Hiring, which do not avoid the election unless committed by the candidate himself, or by his Election Agent or sub agents (see C. I. P. P. Act, 1883, ss. 21 (2) and 25 but subject the offender to penalties.
The offences of Illegal Payment, Illegal Employment, and Illegal Hiring are not strictly illegal practices, but such offences become illegal practices and avoid the election when committed by the candidate him self or by his Election Agent, it being provided that a candidate or the Election Agent of a candidate who is personally guilty of an offence of illegal payment, employment, or hiring, is guilty of an illegal practice (see C. I. P. P. Act, 1883, s. 21 It is, therefore, convenient to include an account of these offences in this article.
