district was to be administered by a board of five trustees; and every school was to be inspected twice each year by a school visitor, appointed by the Board of Education. Who the teachers were during this decade in Sou' West is not known, but the following notices from the newspaper reveals the location of the school and two of the trustees.

(8) TEACHER WA::TED: For the school at , Anderson's Road, a teacher of"the first class. Signed: Patrick Murphy , Patrick Duffy . (9) Because the two notices appear less than a year apart it is likely that there were several teachers employed during the decade; qualified teachers were in short supply. A third major reform introduced by the Liberal government in this decade was approval of a new franchise act in April, 1853. This act extended the privilege of voting to those who leased land and to non-propertied laborers; owning land and property was the qualification for the ability to vote previously. The new qualifications summarized from the act, were: being male, at least twenty-one years of age, a British citizen, having no legal impediment, and owning property worth forty shillings, or leasing property worth thirty-five shillings, or being lible to perform statue labor, and residency in the electoral district for twelve months prior to the election; property owners could vote wherever they owned forty shillings worth of land.
