Dealer Notes

One of the last elections under the old hustings arrangement, notable for major rioting in Nottingham.
“On 26th June 1865 Thousands of persons congregated in the Great Market Place, and the “lambs” armed themselves with bludgeons broken from the hustings. The police for some hours did not make their appearance, and the mob had it entirely their own way”
