The United Female Chartist Washerwomen met a deputation from the Infant
Society of Universal Suffrage and Vote by Ballot Orphans, in the long
room of the Institution belonging to the former, when a discussion
ensued on the subject of the Charter.
It was at length resolved to extend the five _pints_ to six; and it was
finally agreed that three quarts should constitute the measure they are
jointly going for.
Upon a proposition that they should adopt the principle of the whole
hog, a discussion arose as to whether the gammon was to be included; but
it was soon decided that the whole hoggites would be nothing at all, if
it were not for the gammon, which was accordingly retained by a large
majority.
The following subscriptions, in aid of the "Victim Fund," were then read
by the secretary, who stated that the amounts were in the hands of the
treasurer who was absent from indisposition:
_Subscriptions to the "Victim Fund."_
