Farewell to Cotton Twist Letters on Peel and Corn Law
A long civic letter frayed by wit and politics laments the end of the Cotton Twist correspondence. It recalls May 1841 onward debates over Free Trade, Sir Robert Peel, and the Corn Law repeal, praising Peel’s outcome but criticizing his methods and policy costs. The writer reflects on public morality, education, and the shift away from intolerance, closing with thanks to the editor. A court martial update reports carpenter William Ellis’s embezzlement case proceeding, with civil trial disposition and transfer to gaol.
