Reform Meeting in Glasgow Advocates Parliamentary Change
A crowded Glasgow City Hall gathering hears Sir Joshua Walmsley and George Thompson advocate broad reform. Speakers praise working class support, while Thompson critiques freehold land as a reform substitute and warns of risks to voters if fortunes fail. The Perth and Greenock sections note similar mobilization and calls for National Reform Association goals.
