Lord Chancellor and the News Taxes Debate in Press
A Manchester Advertiser summary criticizes the Lord Chancellor for erratic Parliament actions and his stance on newspaper taxation. It contrasts his alleged contempt for opponents with calls to end press control, noting tensions over the Poor Law and the liberty of the press amid broader American and British press debates. It also references the Leeds Times on church rates and the principle that church funding should come from congregations, not state coercion.
