Complete Suffrage Movement Debate in Birmingham
Our Birmingham correspondent weighs a dispute over Universal Suffrage and Six Points with Mr. Sturge. The piece argues for cautious reform, warns against precipitate jumps, and cautions that working classes may not yet possess the political fitness required for immediate universal franchise. It contrasts moderate aims with the Chartist current, urging time and measured change. The column also covers a Bermondsey murder and inquest, detailing William Jessop's fatal attack on Elizabeth Jessop, a suicide attempt, and the ensuing public inquiry and verdict of temporary insanity.
