File:Election riot on 26 June 1865 in Nottingham.png

Summary
"Numbers of roughs waited, in various avenues in the town, for Messrs. Paget and Morley; but they did not make their appearance. Ultimately, the hustings was got possession of, the flags were torn down, the scaffolding set fire to and totally consumed, the rabble pelted the friends of Mr. Morley with stones, and several persons were seriously injured.  The windows of the Express office and other houses were broken.  Thousands of persons congregated in the Great Market-place, and the "lambs" armed themselves with bludgeons broken from the hustings.  The police for some hours did not make their appearance, and the mob had it entirely their own way."
