Provincial turmoil marks ward elections in Birmingham
In Duddeston and Nechells ward the Whig radicals and conservatives clashed over a disputed charter. Votes were razor thin in several wards with some burgesses chosen by a single vote. The Tory paper notes the conservatives avoided full interference while subordinates of the so called corporation aided at times. The Sheffield Iris reports mixed opinions on Lord Fitzwilliam’s conduct.

An inquiry at the Civet Cat inn Wakley into the death of Peston Friry aged sixty five reveals neglect by relief officers and doctors amid extreme poverty. Testimony shows the deceased and her daughter sought aid after arrival from Ireland, with food scarce and medical help delayed, culminating in a jury verdict that death was caused by fever from want and a critique of the union’s relief system.
