The Edinburgh branch of the Scottish Reform League held a meeting at Buchanan's Hotel with Mr Burn chairing. The secretaries read a report for the Feb 6 annual meeting, noting 680 members and criticizing the English Reform Bill for retaining class distinctions, limiting burgh and county franchise parity, and delaying Scotland’s broader representation while urging early legislation and continued parliamentary pressure.

Sir Roderick Murchison Warned on Livingstone Story
The Glasgow Evening Citizen notes Sir Roderick Murchison could not attend a Geographical Society meeting due to illness but had already pressed the view that the Livingstone murder story was false. His urging helped prompt Government to dispatch an exploring expedition now returning with positive results. A vivandiere from the Napoleonic wars has died aged 104 at La Salpétrière, having survived Waterloo and a long life of peril with full faculties.
