Report of the visit of John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham, known as 'Radical Jack,' to Glasgow in October 1834 and a speech he gave to fellow supporters of the parliamentary reform in the Glasgow Justiciary Hall (part of the Justiciary Courts buildings). As a leading Whig politician, Lambton had played a key role in getting the 1832 Reform Bill through Parliament, and following his resignation from the cabinet in 1833, he spent the next 18 months vying with Lord Brougham for leadership of the radical wing of the Whig party.
