In England, 20,000 people march in London in support of electoral reform.

Britain's Reform League organized a massive afternoon parade through the streets of central London, together with an evening public meeting, in support of the growing consensus of an extension of the nation's franchise.  The procession, numbering a reported 20,000 people, was watched and cheered by thousands more, and in the evening speakers, including a large number of Liberal members of Parliament, spoke in favor of reform in the packed Agricultural Hall.  Later in the year Lord Derby's Conservative government would indeed extend the vote to hundreds of thousands of working men in the Reform Bill of 1867.  (By John Osborne)
