Waterloo Bridge blind beggar and land law repeal act

Edward Payson Hall reflects on George Glayzier the blind beggar of Waterloo Bridge and a North Carolina act repealing section 1245 of the Code. The law restricts land conveyances over three years, outlines registration rules, and sets probate and publication requirements. The 1885 act takes effect December 1 and is certified by the North Carolina Secretary of State.

The Blind Man of Waterloo Bridge and His Parables

A London bridge reader named George Glayzier, blind since youth, has read Bible parables at Waterloo Bridge since 1856. He prefers the parable of the ruined fig tree, believes parables explain life, and recalls a run in with William Ox, the so called Blind Man of Waterloo Bridge, illustrating urban rumor and the law.
