Controversy Over Forster Education Act Divides Liberal Ranks
A critic argues Mr Forster favors pauper consciences over Free Church beliefs and calls his educational Act cruel to pauper parents. He cites Lord Brougham and Sir James Mackintosh as calling state paid clergy, and says Liberal leaders are misrepresented by newspapers. The piece predicts Forster’s electoral support would come from Conservative votes and moderate Whigs, urging an end to state religious interference.
