Snig's End - (from the Road), 1850. View of the Chartist estate in Gloucestershire: '...cottages built in the form of crescents; and the Malvern Hills in the distance...the property consists of 268 acres of land, a clay, and unsuited for spade cultivation...The Snig's-end property...is one of the seven estates upon which the "Land Scheme" of [Irish politician] Mr. Feargus O'Connor has been proved to present so miserable a failure...Snig's-end was bought by Mr. O'Connor in 1847; the purchase-money being £12,200...The case of O'Connor against Bradshaw, which last week occupied the Court of Exchequer for three days, was the means of raising two issues - the legality of the Snig's-end project, and the honesty of Mr. Feargus O'Connor'. (After the failure of his Land Plan, O'Connor's behaviour became increasingly erratic, culminating in an assault on three MPs and a mental breakdown...). From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
