1) Miss Beasie Shelton of Liverpool is mention to have worked as a lecturer at the St. Andrew's L.L.A. for women. She also functioned as an active (speaking) member of the British Women's Temperance Association. 2) "Both Mrs. Josephine Butler and Lady Henry Somerset have been at the disposal of those who have organised the meetings [in favour of the abolition of State-Regulated vice in India], but the burden of the advocacy has rested on Mrs. Elizabeth Andrew and Dr. Kate Bushnell." Addresses in favour of this were given at public meetings in connection with this issue in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sunderland, and Newcastle-on-Tyne. Other meetings are to be held at Sheffield, Cardiff, Swansea, and Bristol. 3) At a crowded meeting in the mayor's parlour in Manchester Town Hall, Dr. Kate Bushnell and Mrs. Andrew pleaded the cause of Indian women caught in a repressive social system with "simplicity and ungarnished eloquence." 4) Mrs. Josephine Butler attended a meeting on the issue of "State-regulated vice," presided over by Sir William Wedderburn. "Miss Cons and others spoke to the resolutions."
