In a heated session the opposition argues reduced hours threaten wages and export trade, while supporters claim ten hours’ limits are essential despite cost. Speakers accuse Lord Ashley of misrepresentation and warn of strikes if the measure fails, with political jabs at ministers and philosophers. The debate adjourns as factions diverge on principle versus expediency.

ELECTIONEERING MOVEMENT AT ABINGDON
Abingdon electors hear retirement of Duffield to make way for the new solicitor general Thesiger canvassed the town with no opposition seen. A Westbury meeting led by the Earl of Radnor heard Cobden silence rival Webb in a county agri sector as royal hunts and costs fade amid public notice.

An alarming fire at Exning near Newmarket destroys cottages and stock, while a child in Waterloo Road suffers rat attack injuries.
