A ballad.
Newcastle : Re-printed by W. Boag, Dean Street,
[1826]
At foot of text: May 12, 1826.
Dated from internal evidence - this ballad concerns the 1826 Northumberland election where there was no common ground between the candidates, and they were in fact bitterly opposed to one another. Lord Howick and Mr. Lambton (Whigs) were particularly hostile to Thomas Wentworth Beaumont, then an Independent Reformer, and the ill feeling came to a head on the 10th day. The end result was a duel taking place, early that morning, between Thomas Wentworth Beaumont and Mr. Lambton on the beach below Bamburgh Castle.
