Bath Corporation Reform Rallies for Open Elections and Justice
A Bath mass meeting presses for municipal reform, urging open elections, accountability, and public access to magistrates' rooms. Speakers denounce closed corporations, demand ballots in local elections, and back Roebuck’s push to petition Parliament for wider corporate reform and improved justice administration.
Great Bath meeting on Corporation Reform in Bath
J Roebuck MP addressed electors at the Bazaar Rooms on the need to reform municipal corporations. He urged a public town hall meeting to petition Parliament for reform, arguing corporations must be accountable to citizens and serve the city’s interests with broad public responsibility. The requisition for a meeting was blocked by authorities, but 2000 people attended a Tennis Court gathering where William Hunt chaired and pressed for reform and public scrutiny.
