In Dublin a Protestant Operatives Society meeting discusses a petition to repeal the Emancipation Bill. Wellington declines to present or support the petition in Parliament, citing lack of relation to Dublin associations and urging the petition be treated as the signers’ individual views. The group factions fear a setback to their stance under the current ministry.
