[ Peterloo Massacre ] A copy of Ralph Fletcher's oath of office as justice of the peace 1797, together with a small quantity of personal paperwork relating to the Fletcher family of Lancashire, comprising a letter to Miss Fletcher, a contract with Jacob Fletcher and his sons, a sermon dated 1803 and inscribed to Ralph Fletcher, minutes from a meeting relating to a portrait of the late Col. Fletcher, a sworn allegiance for John Fletcher to serve George IV in the Bolton Yeomanry Cavalry dated 1825 and his commission as a Lieutenant in the Duke of Lancaster's Corps of Yeomanry, by Edward, Earl of Derby, dated 1835[The Fletcher family were well-known industrialists in Lancashire owning mines and mills around Atherton. Ralph Fletcher (1757-1832), was colonel of the Bolton Volunteers, deputy Grand Master of the Grand Orange Lodge of England, spymaster and one of the local magistrates who triggered, then witnessed, the tragic events leading to the 1819 Peterloo Massacre in Manchester. Fletcher was a fierce loyalist who used his public roles as a soldier and magistrate to suppress radical political activism in the cotton towns of the north west of England whilst also running government spies and agents provocateurs in the region. In 1808, after the Bolton Volunteers disbanded, Fletcher took command of the local militia. During 1812 Luddites had been attacking Lancashire cotton mills in reaction to the widespread introduction of power looms. On 28 April 1812, Westhoughton Mill near Bolton, with 200 steam powered looms, was targeted and despite the late intervention of the militia, was burnt to the ground. In the reprisals which followed, coordinated by Fletcher, four men were hanged and nine transported. Although his spies were suspected of inciting the violence at the mill, for this service and his other activities against the Luddite threat, Fletcher was rewarded with a silver cup at a meeting on 12 July 1812 chaired by his fellow magistrate Thomas Ainsworth. By 1819, the Luddites had been suppressed only to be replaced by a new popular movement for political reform. On 16 August 1819 the Manchester Patriotic Union, a group agitating for parliamentary reform, organised a mass demonstration attracting up to 60,000 people. The local magistrates, including Fletcher, met in a house overlooking St. Peter’s Field where the crowd had gathered. When their attempt to arrest the speaker at the rally failed, they summoned the cavalry to help enforce the warrant. The local yeomanry responded first but, inexperienced, panicked and started cutting down the crowd. Regular Hussars then arrived to disperse the demonstration creating further chaos which led to the deaths of at least 11 people with a further 600 wounded. During the melée, Fletcher was seen beating some demonstrators with his stick. Despite their responsibility for decisions which led to the massacre, the magistrates were exonerated by the government and congratulated by the Prince Regent. In 1822, Fletcher received another large cup in appreciation of his services, this time from the people of Bury. Colonel Fletcher was in command of the Bolton Volunteers in 1805 when they were called upon to defend England from Napoleon’s proposed invasion martyndowner.com/current-exhibitions/peterloo-magistrates-cup]
