It is possible there was a minor disruption to one of her journeys, but certainly nothing as serious as an assassination attempt.Dr Bruce Rosenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11591761401001848135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34093396.post-49150932566754758262014-01-18T13:48:00.237+11:002014-01-18T13:48:00.237+11:00Any info on an assassination attempt occurring in ...Any info on an assassination attempt occurring in 1859? My great great grandfather's obituary says he was "a soldier under Queen Victoria and was a member of her bodyguard! riding in her coach when she was shot at in 1859."

"Melbourne, always aware of the failings he perceived in the lower and labouring classes, saw the attacks as evidence of the ease with which persons of the lower orders can incite themselves, or be incited by others to the contemplation and commission of such acts."<br /><br />Blaming the excitable working class Helshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02849907428208235392noreply@blogger.com
