Debates on Corn Laws Stir House Amid Accusations and Defences
A Thursday session reopened by Baillie Johnson featured a hard headed plea on reform, with Mr Heneage detailing Lincolnshire grievances and Mr Villiers Stuart urging repeal as a choice for Ireland. Cobden challenged the idea of fixing bread prices, accusing government policy of favoring a class over national welfare, while Peel and Ferrand faced sharp exchanges and veiled reproach from Carlton Club allies.
