Chartist Procession and Government Crackdown in London
A large Chartist gathering on Kennington Common drew 150,000 people as troops and police guarded bridges and streets. The march, led by O Connor and Ernest Jones, featured petitions to Parliament demanding universal suffrage and annual Parliament, with clashes at Blackfriars and Westminster bridges but no fatal violence reported. The day ended with the petition split into conveyances and sent to the House of Commons, while government preparations continued and reports from Ireland and France noted ongoing unrest and military measures.
