Description: Coventry: W. Rotherham, 1826. Single sheet, 280 x 225 mm. This item may have at some time been mounted and will bear traces on the reverse of adhesive or removal of mounts. Peter Moore [1753 - 1828] held the seat for Coventry between 1803 and 1824. He was an effective promoter of private member's bills and after his defeat he continued to promote them. Here he draws notice to his addresses on the Repeal of the Combination Acts [passed in 1824] which opened the doors for an organised workforce and trade unions.
