MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT FOR & AGAINST THE 1839 CHARTIST PETITION
On 12 July 1839 Thomas Attwood, Member of Parliament for Birmingham, Warwickshire, England "rose to bring forward his motion on the subject of the National Petition. He thanked the noble Lord for his kindness and consideration in proposing to the House that they should suspend the other orders of the day, to allow him to take precedence in bringing forward this question. He also thanked the House for its kindness in agreeing to that proposition of the noble Lord, and he thanked them still more that on the 14th of June last they had listened to his address with patience and kind consideration."
