[n.d. c.1850.] Printed by Hullmandel & Watson.

William Scholefield (1809-1867), was a British businessman and Liberal politician. He was a leading figure in the politics behind the rapidly-growing industrial town of Birmingham. After the Reform Bill of 1832 there was a campaign launched later in 1837 to secure a charter of incorporation under the Municipal Corporations Act 1835 to create Birmingham a municipal borough with an elected town council. At that time the town was in the hands of a manorial court leet, presided over by a high bailiff. Scholefield became high bailiff in 1837 was very supportive of the campaign to incorporate Birmingham. After the act arrived in 1838, Scholefield was unaninimously chosen as first mayor of Birmingham after their first town council meeting. After returning to local government in 1847, having been defeated three years previously by a Conservative, Scholefield championed the expansion of popular democracy, free trade, and freedom of religion.

Daniel Wakefield Esq.r of Lincolns Inn, Barrister at Law.
Engraved by F.C. Lewis from a Drawing by A. Wivell.
London, October 1st 1824 Published by Geo. Lawford, Saville Passage.
Stipple on india with small margins, platemark 230 x 180mm (9 x 7").
Daniel Wakefield (1776-1846), barrister and writer on political economy. Wakefield's early career was undistinguished; as David J. Moss (DNB) writes: 'Various distractions, riotous living, and, according to his mother, unsuitable company prevented much headway. An ill-advised marriage on 3 June 1805 to Isabella Mackie, an adventuress and swindler, followed. It dragged him into a morass of debt and fraud that almost ended in bankruptcy and emigration. Remarkably, his legal career was not destroyed and he was called to the bar on 2 May 1807. A sullied reputation and an inadequate knowledge of the law, however, meant that clients were not plentiful and his financial dependence upon his parents and brother continued. Attempts to annul the marriage failed; then, in August 1813, Isabella committed suicide by taking poison.' Thereafter, however, Wakefield remarried, and his practice flourished. He was elected bencher of Lincolns Inn in 1835 and became known for his philanthropy in aiding clients in distress. After his death in 1846 he was buried in Lincoln's Inn chapel.
