Mass meeting celebrates James Taylor freehold land society
A large gathering includes Mrs Thomipeen and many gentlemen from Reading to Reigate. The chairman praises James Taylor founder of the Birmingham Freehold Land Union and explains the society’s growth toward freehold ownership and county franchise. He surveys Surrey elections from 1832 to 1849 and argues for Forty shilling freehold voting, denouncing Chandos clause and landlord influence.
