Boston Election - Meeting in the Corn Exchange, 1856. 'Long before the hour announced for the meeting the immense hail was crowded by an enthusiastic assemblage, and many hundreds were unable to obtain admission. Mr. John Noble, jun., was called to the chair, who congratulated the Liberals of Boston on the glorious triumph they had obtained. The result of the day's election was a sufficient answer to the slanders which had appeared in a portion of the London press, for not one single voter had received so much as a glass of ale for his vote. It was a proud position for Mr. [Herbert] Ingram thus to be returned by the unpurchased votes of the freemen and electors of his native town (Loud cheers). It showed that the great principles of Liberalism were spreading'. The Boston Corn Exchange, designed by Bellamy and Hardy, opened in September 1855. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
