Oastler

Oastler, Richard, geb. 1789 in Leeds, war erst Architekt, dann Kaufmann, seit 1820 Ökonomieverwalter zu Fyxbyhall in Yorkshire. Schon früher mit Wilberforce wegen der Sklavenemancipation verbunden, wendete er bes. seit 1830 seine Thätigkeit auf die Verbesserung der Arbeiterklasse, worüber er auch 1834 mit Wellington in Briefwechsel trat. Als er 1839 in Nordengland eine allgemeine Agitation gegen das Armengesetz einzuleiten im Begriff stand, wurde er von seinem Principal seiner Verwalterstelle entsetzt u. wegen einer Civilforderung in das Schuldgefängniß geworden. Er gab darauf die Wochenschrift The fleet papers heraus.
