London, Sunday Closing Riots.

London had it's troubles with Sunday
closing laws when in 1855 there were
riots caused by Lord Robert Grosven-
or's bill to put down Sunday trading.
A crowd hostile to the measure went to
Hyde park to see how the ]aristocrats
kept the Sabbath" as a newspaper Of
that time put it. Carriages taking the
afternoon drive were greeted with yells
Of Go to church, and with hooting
that scared many horses into running
away. A week later the police prohib-
itql a meeting that was announced,
but tens of thousands Of people ap-
peared, and there were vigorous strug-
giles with the police. On the third Sun
day pure rowdyism ~supervened, foot
men were assaulted, and windows were
smashed wholesale through the aristo-
cratic districts. Then the trouble died
out, and SO did the bill.
