Lichfield House compact
Lichfield House compact. This was an agreement in the London house of Lord Lichfield on 18 February 1835 between the Whigs, radicals, and Irish to work together in the forthcoming parliamentary session. Peel's Conservative government, which had been in office only three months, was defeated the following day, and in April Lord Melbourne formed his second administration.
