Cartoon, Great Poaching Affray on the Liberal Preserves -- Now then, you Sir! Give up that Gun! Lord John Russell and John Bright are Liberal MPs, and feel that their party has more right to promote Reform than Benjamin Disraeli of the Conservative Party. (In fact it was eventually Disraeli who succeeded in passing the second Reform Act eight years later, in 1867, extending the franchise to many more voters.)
