Embankment Grounds Open Soon and Trades Union Debates
Ornamental grounds along the Victoria Embankment near Charing Cross to Waterloo Bridge, reclaimed from the Thames and about 81x acres, are slated to open to the public this week. Reports note a first conviction under the Trades Union Act in Gateshead for stones throwing at knobsticks, with further action in Newcastle. Delegates at Leeda condemned the Lords amendments to the Trades Union Bill, urging careful choice of MPs. Other items include Education Department schemes, a boys charity at the London Tavern, a new postal scale effective August, and discussion of the Royal Commission on the Contagious Diseases Acts leading to repeal recommendations. A daring burglary case at Captain Longdon’s London home and a temperance excursion from London to Hastings are also mentioned, alongside a large scale cooperative engine works in Newcastle on the Morrison yard.
