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." 
House of Commons Debate 12 July 1839 vol 49 cc220-74

At the end of Attwood's lengthy address to the House of Commons, he "begged to move that the House do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, for the purpose of taking into consideration the petition called the National Petition, presented on the 14th of June."    

​The motion was seconded by John Fielden, and was followed by several speeches for and again, including Lord John Russell (who was clearly against),  Mr. Benjamin D'Israeli (also against), and Mr Joshua Scholfield MP for Birmingham  (who, in defending the Petitioners, said the Chartists wished nothing but justice). 

​When the vote was taken, the House was divided into 46 Ayes,  235 Noes,   with a Majority of 189.  The following is the list of names for and against.
