608: Chapter 305: Everyone is Laughing, Who is Crying?
“The new mbers of Parliant took their collective oath of office in Westminster,”
“Pri Minister Earl Grey called for the House of Commons to expedite the discussion of the parliantary reform bill,”
“The Whig Party attempted to pass the reform bill’s third reading in the House of Commons with the utmost speed,”
“The cholera epidemic and famine led to a severe escalation of the Swin Rebellion in the rural areas of southern England, and Viscount Palrston, the Foreign Secretary, suggested to the Pri Minister at the Cabinet eting that military forces should be dispatched to maintain order in the rioting regions,”
Viscount Palrston said, “To deal with the rioters, the deploynt of a certain degree of military force is necessary.”
“The leader of the Tory Party and forr Ho Secretary Sir Robert Peel fiercely criticized Viscount Palrston’s improper remarks in the House of Commons and reiterated the Tory Party’s stance: We oppose the deploynt of the Army to suppress disturbances,”
Sir Robert Peel said, “The Peterloo incident followed by the Cato Street Conspiracy has taught us that relying solely on military force not only fails to resolve the issues but continues to exacerbate conflicts.
The governnt should solve problems with the least amount of violence possible, and this is also why I have been committed to abolishing the Bloody Act and establishing Scotland Yard.”
“The taciturn Viscount lbourne, Ho Secretary, after an afternoon’s discussion with Sir Robert Peel, decided to support the Tory Party’s stance on the Swin Rebellion,”
Viscount lbourne said, “Reports from various regions show that the current riot situation is still under control.
Therefore, the Ho Office is not considering sending any military forces to the rioting areas for ard suppression for the ti being.”
“The extramarital affair litigation involving Viscount lbourne is still burning, and Judge George Norton fiercely denounced the Ho Secretary’s hypocrisy,”
Judge Norton said, “It’s well-known that the Viscount doesn’t even recognize his own ho, which is why he often loses his way into my wife’s bed.
Hence, I believe he is not reluctant to deploy the Army to suppress the disturbances, but rather, due to his notoriously poor sense of direction, is afraid he might send the Army into the English Channel.”
“Viscount lbourne went to 10 Downing Street and successfully convinced Pri Minister Earl Grey to accept the Tory proposal regarding the Swin Rebellion,”
“The Ho Office issued new regulations regarding the Swin Rebellion, with Viscount lbourne offering a lenient sentence to the rioters and calling for them to voluntarily surrender,”
In accordance with the temporary regulations, all sheriffs who capture rioters will receive cash rewards and honorary recognition.
After consultations between the Ho Office and the Lord Chancellor’s office, the Lord High Chancellor Lord Brougham agreed that cases against all the rioters would not be governed by the ordinary dostic law.
Captured rioters would not be handed over to the court but would be judged by a special committee temporarily established by the Ho Office.
To ensure fair, just, and open trials, the special committee would include a grand jury composed of mbers from the citizenry.
As for the prosecution of the rioters, it would be handled by the soon-to-be-established London District Prosecutor’s Office.
Sources revealed that, to gain public trust, the Ho Office is likely to delegate the prosecution to London’s most trusted police officer—Mr.
Arthur Hastings, the Senior Police Superintendent at Scotland Yard, who is about to take on the role of Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the London District Prosecutor’s Office.
“Shocking!
London’s special commissioner attacked at Liverpool docks, Ho Office reevaluates local public security managent,”
Citing “The Honest Liverpool News”: On the afternoon of the previous day, Mr.
Arthur Hastings, the special anti-smuggling inspector assigned by the Ho Office, the Lord Chancellor’s Office, Customs and Excise, and the Central Health Committee, was attacked by three Polish thugs ard with guns at the Golden Lion Hotel on the old docks in Liverpool.
The gun battle lasted for about half a minute; realizing they were outmatched, the three thugs voluntarily detonated explosives previously hidden in the horse feed troughs.
Three unfortunate Liverpool citizens passing by were injured, two gunn died on the spot, and the last gunman died of serious injuries on the way to the hospital.
Fortunately, as Mr.
Hastings was at a safe distance when the explosion occurred, he received only a stone’s scrape at the corner of his eye.
According to our reporter’s on-site observation, it has been confird that after receiving six stitches, Mr.
Hastings looks sowhat askew but is otherwise unhard.
Following the attack on Mr.
Hastings, the Liverpool city authorities imdiately reinforced the security forces around the Golden Lion Hotel.
mbers of the Liverpool Association, led by Secretary-General Mr.
John Gladstone, visited the Golden Lion Hotel to express their condolences to Mr.
Hastings and his entourage.
At the municipal eting called urgently that afternoon, Mayor Carrack severely reprimanded the city’s sheriff and urged him to resign as soon as possible.
Currently, London is highly concerned about this case, and a sense of dissatisfaction with Liverpool is beginning to perate Whitehall.
It is believed that 10 Downing Street has already sent an inquiry letter to the Liverpool city authorities regarding the assassination attempt on Mr.
Hastings.
The Ho Office has lost confidence in Liverpool’s abysmal security forces, and to ensure such incidents don’t happen again, Viscount lbourne has ordered Scotland Yard to select elite personnel to go to Liverpool and take charge of the security for the commissioner’s team.
An insider revealed that the Ho Office is considering extending the success of the 1829 “Greater London Police Act” to other parts of the country.
A draft bill not yet finalized is at the drafting stage; if passed, it would authorize local magistrates to establish police forces and create a formal police force following the standards of Scotland Yard in the country’s 56 counties.
“Far-sighted!
The chaos in law enforcent and poor municipal managent are significant reasons why the East India Company chose London as its shipping center instead of Liverpool,”
