Description
Broadside.- Bristol riots.- Further particulars of the dreadful Riots at Bristol, with the number of Killed and Wounded, printed broadside, creases, light marginal finger-soiling, laid on paper, c.365 x 240 mm., Nottingham, Ordoyno, [c.1831].*** Rare. Seemingly unrecorded. Showing that the people of Bristol have a long history of rioting. The riot of 1831 happened as a result of the Reform Bill being rejected by the House of Lords, with Sir Charles Wetherell, an anti-reform judge, wrongly declaring the the people of Bristol were against the Bill. "I am told since writing the above, that the Magistrates wrote to request Sir Charles Wetherell not to come to Bristol. He made the answer that he would, if even the cannon barricaded the passage."
