Account of Chartist Rally in Manchester to welcome Peter McDouall and John Collins on their Release from Gaol

Abstract

For some time past the Radicals of Manchester had contemplated giving a dinner and public entry to Dr McDouall, on his liberation from Chester Castle, where he was suffering imprisonment at the instance of a tyrannical government. The noble and patriotic defence made by the Doctor on his trial had won him the respect and admiration of every lover of his country; and an invitation to visit Manchester on his liberation was therefore, some weeks back, transmitted to him on behalf of the Radicals there by the Whittle-street branch, and which invitation the worthy Doctor accepted.
