Indeed !

Mr. Will Thorne, M.P., gave an account of his Parliamentary work last session to a small gathering of his constituents on Monday afternoon. About a dozen Nonconformist ministers were present, several leading Liberals, some members of Mr. Thome’s committee, and a number of ladies from the Women’s Settlement and missions. Mr. S. Curwen presided, and after Mr. Thome’s speech there was a spirited discussion. Much unanimity was shown; indeed, the general agreement on Parliamentary matters between this middle-class company and the Labour representative was remarkable.—”Stratford Express,” 30.1.09.
