Meeting in the Town Hall Birmingham Freehold Land Movement
A Birmingham meeting of working classes heard Cobden Bright and other leaders discuss the Freehold Land Movement. Delegates from districts reported rapid progress, with 80 societies and 30,000 members, £150,000 paid in, and a potential £1,000,000 capital. The chair praised moral and social gains and urged continued support for freehold holdings as a superior investment and political reform.
