TO-DAY’S MEETING IN VICTORIA PARK. A mass meeting of costermongers, street sellers, and the public, will be held in Victoria Park to-day (Sunday) at 3.30, to protest against the recent action of the Holborn Board of Works and many local Vestries in constantly breaking up the little livings of the costermongers, thereby depriving a very useful, hard-working class of people of the means of existence. The Farringdon-road costermongers, assisted by the St. Luke’s, Hoxton, Walworth, Kingsland, and Islington Costers’ Societies, and many working men’s clubs, Trade Unions, and Temperance Societies, including the Patriotic, East Finsbury, the Gladstone, United, the General Railway Workers’, North-West London Painters’, French Polishers’, Spitfields Porters’, Green Fruit Porters’, Dock Labourers’, Navvies and Bricklayers’ Labourers’, United Cocoa Club, Rising Sun Phoenix Lodge, Allan Lodge, White Rose, the Jubilee, and many others, with bands, banners, and full regalia, will start from Clerkenwell Green at one o’clock sharp, and march via St. Luke’s, Hoxton, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, to Victoria Park. The members of the East Finsbury Radical Club, accompanied by bands and regalia, will leave Westmoreland-place at 12.15, and join the Hoxton Costers and Spitalfield Porters at Hoxton, and proceed to Clerkenwell Green. The band of the Irish bagpipes will attend. The whole procession will march off Clerkenwell Green at one o’clock. Chairman, Mr. Brown, L.T.C. Speakers—W. Baynes, E.F.R.C.; John Knifton, E.F.R.C. ; Gus Leach, Variety Theatre ; John Wilkins, St. Luke’s ; Mr. Chant, Shoreditch Vestry ; W. Roberts, Farringdon-road coster ; James Toope, Marylebone Vestry ; C. Crump, Hoxton coster ; Mr. Sherridan, Spitalfields. |
