The Weekly Review reports a sweeping Union victory as about forty presbyteries most important in the Free Church declare for Union, with only six or seven opposing. About twenty presbyteries remain to decide, but the pro Union majority is expected to grow. A large Edinburgh meeting of anti Unionists featured ministers H Bonar, A M Bannatyne, Mackay Inverness, Hugh Martin, Nixon, Dr Begg and others debating the Establishment principle and resolve to uphold old Church of Scotland tenets.
