What laws[edit]

What were the laws exactly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.21.219.242 (talk) 06:03, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Laws are those detailed in Corn Laws, may be a little detail about the laws would be helpful here? Jonpatterns (talk) 09:46, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Founded by Bright?[edit]

Some of the leading histories, such Norman McCord's The Anti-Corn Law League, 1838-1846, (London: Allen & Unwin, 1958), 36, refer to a "triumvirate" of leadership that formed the League, consisting of John Benjamin Smith (President), George Wilson (Chairman), and Cobden. Norman Longmate (The Breadstealers, (New York: St. Martin's, 1984)) likewise credits these three. Where does the assertion of Bright as one of the leading founders come from, and why aren't the other two mentioned? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.74.91.89 (talk) 13:27, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
