The Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel refuse to serve in the Canning cabinet. Description: "A turn out took place on the first of April in the above shop in consequence of the Master taking on a new and clever foreman who however is not in very high favor with the refractory workmen; The Ringleader who has been in the Army & is known as a turblent fellow, we believe has been urged on by an old, and obstinate workman who is an enemy to all exhortations on the old regulations of the Trade. As for the remaining Malcontents their loss will not be regretted, being at best but indifferent Workmen."
