Delegates Visit Earl Grey at 10 Downing Street
- When
- 18 April 1833
- Where
- 10 Downing Street
The legacy record states that over 300 delegates from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland visited Prime Minister Earl Grey at 10 Downing Street on 18 April 1833, calling for immediate abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire.
According to the legacy record, the delegates traveled to 10 Downing Street, the official residence and office of the prime minister, to demand immediate abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire. The supplied passages independently confirm only Grey's premiership from 1830 to 1834, 10 Downing Street's official role, and that the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 received royal assent in August 1833, after the recorded visit. The visit itself, its date, the delegates' number and origins, and the immediate-abolition demand derive solely from the legacy record; the passages do not corroborate them or any contrast with the government's legislative process.
