The Lambeth Election - the Hustings on Kennington Common, 1850. '...nomination of candidates for the representation in Parliament of the [London] borough of Lambeth...a considerable number of persons surrounded the hustings...Mr. Onslow, the returning officer, briefly reminded the electors of the importance of the privilege which they were about to exercise, and hoped that they would conduct themselves throughout the whole proceedings with proper decorum, and allow to each of the candidates a fair and impartial hearing...it was quite apparent to all, after the first hour's polling, that Mr. [William] Williams was the most likely candidate to obtain the vacant seat...Mr. Onslow...made the official declaration of the poll...Mr. Williams was received with three cheers; Sir Charles Napier by some slight cheering, mingled with hisses; and Mr. Palmer with faint cheering'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
