A Good Beginning 1872. Artist: Joseph Swain
A Good Beginning.. 1872. The new Ballot Bill had recently been passed into law and here Britannia drops a slight curtsey to the lanky figure of the Ballot. The man to the left is Hugh Childers. This was the first parliamentary by-election held under the new regulations. Mr Childers was returned for the constituency of Pontefract by 658 votes. His Conservative opponent was Lord Pollington who won 578 votes. From Punch, or the London Charivari, August 24, 1872
