Lahee, Charles
Chelsea (London, England) -- History -- 19th century; Chelsea (London, England) -- Politics and government
My dear Mr. Lahee,—I never was so taken by surprise as by the
division I have just left. The Government Bill was affirmed by two
large majorities, but when we came to the Chelsea question, to my
astonishment we were beaten by one hundred and three. The house was
excessively impatient, and would hardly listen to anything; but it
appeared to me Sir James Graham, whom they would hear, said all that
could be said on the subject. I was also astonished at some of those
I saw voting against us. I will send you the division list as soon
as I get it. The impression in the House _just now_ was that the
bill would be withdrawn, so in happier times we may have another
chance.—Yours very truly,
WILLIAM TITE.
P.S.—Rather sharp work for M.P.’s yesterday. I was on a committee
from 12 to 4, in the House from 5 to just now; to-day we begin again
at 12, I suppose until 2 o’clock Wednesday morning.
