Part of
Archbishop Howley's coach attacked at Canterbury

Howley's carriage was attacked in the streets of Canterbury because of his heart-felt opposition to the Great Reform Act 1832.

The sourced account states that Howley, as spokesman for the bench of bishops, held heart-felt opposition to the Great Reform Act, and that this opposition led to his carriage being attacked in the streets of Canterbury. Canterbury is a city in Kent, England. The supplied passages give no exact date for the attack, so the legacy 7 August 1832 date is not carried over, and no details of the mob's actions are recorded.
