Testimonial presented by the Liberal electors of Halifax to Mr. James Stansfeld, M.P., 1864. 'Mr. James Stansfeld...lately resigned his office as one of the Lords of the Admiralty in consequence of the discussions that arose upon his correspondence with Signor Mazzini. We publish an Engraving of the elegant piece of plate, combining an épergne and candelabrum. It was manufactured by Mr. E. S. Pegler, silversmith, of Halifax, from designs by Mr. Digby Wyatt. The base is square, and on each face is a shield, one of which bears the following inscription: "Presented in the Piece-hall, Halifax, on Whit Tuesday, 1864, to James Stansfeld, Jun., Esq., Member of Parliament for that Borough, as an expression of the esteem and confidence with which he is regarded by his constituents." The other shields are engraved with Mr. Stansfeld's arms, crest, and motto, and the arms of the borough of Halifax'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
