Controversy Over Gloucester Seat Deal Exposed in 1847 Letters
A contentious address by Grantley Berkeley and a counterstatement from Lord Fitzhardinge trigger accusations of backroom dealings to secure the West Gloucestershire seat. The dispute centers on a proposed 1200 pound arrangement involving trustees, a public retirement pledge, and neutrality guarantees, drawing replies from Berkeley and his brother and a Times repudiation of buying the seat. Lola Montes’ reception in Bavaria adds a separate note of public hostility and planned apologies by Bamberg authorities.
