Wales Would Have to Invent Them
Celebrating Democracy Our Voice, Our Vote, Our Freedom 170th anniversary of the Chartist Uprising in Newport. Thursday 15 October 2009 at The Newport Centre exciting opportunities ahead. We stand ready to take on bad Introduction from Paul O’Shea employers, fight exploitation and press for social justice with a clear sense of purpose. Chair of Bevan Foundation and Regional Let us put it this way, if unions did not exist today, someone Secretary , Unison Cymru / Wales would have to invent them. Employers need to talk to employees, Freedom of association is rightly prominent in every charter government needs views from the workplace and above all, and declaration of human rights. It is no coincidence that employees need a collective voice. That remains as true today, as authoritarians and dictators of left and right usually crack down it was in Newport, in November 1839. on trade unions as a priority. Look to the vicious attacks on the union movement by the Mugabe regime, the human rights abuses of Colombian trade unionists or indeed, the shooting and Electoral Reform Society incarceration of Chartists engaged in peaceful protest as a grim reminder of this eternal truth. The Electoral Reform Society is proud to support this event commemorating 170 years since the Newport Rising. The ERS A free and democratic society needs to be pluralist. There must campaigns on the need to change the voting system to a form of be checks and balances on those who wield power. There must proportional representation, and is also an active supporter Votes be a voice for everyone, not just the rich, the privileged and at 16 and involved in producing materials for the citizenship the powerful. -

Report on the Administrative History of the Chartist Trials Papers
A Report on the Administrative History of the ‘Chartist Trials’ Papers Introduction: The documents now referred to as the ‘Chartist Trials’ papers, an archive collection conserved and catalogued by Newport Public Library c. 1960 in a series of twenty-five bound volumes, consist primarily of the records generated during the magistrates’ preliminary hearings conducted at the Westgate Hotel, Newport, the scene of the Chartist Rising. These hearings, held in preparation for the Chartist Trials at Monmouth in January 1840, commenced on Tuesday 5 November and were held almost continuously down to Saturday 30 November (some residual cases were heard at Monmouth on the 4 & 5 December ), before the Grand Jury for the Special Commission assembled at Shire Hall on 10 December 1839. In the course of these hearings the capital charge of high treason was initially made against fifty of the accused. The Attorney-General, Sir John Campbell, and the prosecution team subsequently reduced the number charged with high treason to a total of twenty persons (in part for reasons of practical legal management). Broadly speaking the remaining Chartists indicted for offences during the Rising were prosecuted on the lesser charges of riot and conspiracy, and sedition. The Grand Jury (sitting 10-11 Dec.) found true bills to proceed to the main trial by Petty Jury against fourteen of the twenty persons presented for the charge of high treason . Of the preliminary hearings that commenced on the morning of 5 November John Frost, Charles Waters and John Partridge were the first accused brought before the makeshift courtroom (Frost had been arrested the previous evening in the house of the printer John Partridge, by Thomas Jones Phillips). -

Members of the Ellsworth and McArthur Handcart Companies of 1856 Compiled by Susan Easton Black © 1982, Copyright Susan Easton Black . To my sons… Then in a moment to my view The stranger started from disguise; The tokens in his hands I knew; The Savior stood before mine eyes. He spake, and my poor name he named, "Of me thou hast not been ashamed; These deeds shall thy memorial be, Fear not, thou didst them unto me." A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief Preface to Members of the Ellsworth and McArthur Handcart Companies of 1856 It has been my purpose in preparing this compilation of vital statistical information to show my appreciation for the Ellsworth and McArthur Handcart Companies. Unfortunately, some of the statistical information recorded by the members and their posterity was inaccurate, conflicting, or incomplete. Where possible, research was done to alleviate this problem The compiled information was gathered and used as a secondary source for submitting pioneer names for temple work to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Genealogical Department. As a result of this study over 200 ordinances were identified and performed for members of the Ellsworth and McArthur Handcart Companies in the Provo Temple.

Using cultural theories such as Anderson’s “Imagined Communities” and Hobsawm and Ranger’s “Imagined Traditions,” this paper pays special attention to the Celtic traditions and myths that Welsh leaders utilized to cultivate a sense of nationalism and foster a political identity that gained prominence in the nineteenth century. This nationalism will also be presented in the context of cultural changes that Wales faced during this time, especially industrialization and Romanticism.
