      Minster Levey Near Witney, Oxfordshire. ...

      Minster Levey near Witney , Oxfordshire . TO BE SOLDBY JJJGTION , In the latter end of August ,,. ; . BY MR . LONG A TRULY VALWLB . AND DESIBABLE PEOPERtY ,

      m SHALL ALLOTMENTS , Pleasantly and adTOntageoudy « ta » fed in the ' ^ Ilan . of Ifiuter Lovel , m ffie county of (^ rd / tothe vicinity of the following excel , lent market towns , namely : —Witney , three miles ; Burfordjfonr miles ; Woodstock , eight miles ; Oxford , thirteen miles ; and Farring ddny twelve miles ; and distant from Cheltenham , twenty-fire miles . ?

      Comprising about 297 acres of superior land , principally arable , and a great portion of it in a high state of cultivation ; together -with eighty-two excellent cottages , of three , four , and more rooms each , and out-offices , the whole of them , bruit in a very superior manner , in stone , with slated roofs , & c ., and conveniently fitted np for immediate occupation , each cottage being situate and standing upon an allotment of two , three , or four acres . Also , an excellent homestead . and labourer ' s cottage , and suitable ag ricultural buildings .,

      The estate was formerly the property of John "Walker , Esq ., deceased , and was farmed by him for some time , and two or three years since was purchased for the purpose , of allotment , and creating small freeholders ; The cottages on the estate are very pleasantly and advantageously placed , as to frontage , & c ., and the whole property presents a -very , agreeable and pieioresoae appearance ; and most of the a % tm ^ h « togbeen bcimpie 4 ^ Mder cuJtut ^ Tchiefly by the spade , for some time , the soil b greatly improved , as is evidenced

      by the superior crops produced at the present time . The greater number of persons now occupying portions of the property are under compulsory terms to quit and surrender np their respective allotments immediately , unless the purchasers of one or more lots are willing to accept them as tenants ; and some others hold until about November next ; possession of the lots in their occupation cannot , therefore , he givra immediately . It is proposed to mestead

      offer the original ho , labourers' cottages , and farm buildings , with about twentyfive acres of excellent meadow land , partly watered by the river Windrush , ( an excellent trout stream ) , in one lot The high road from Oxford to Cheltenham runs through part of the property , , affording capital frontages to many of the cottages ; and most of the others front the pnfcJio road , running through sad dividing the larger portion of the property leading from the Oxford road to Brizenorton . of the estate is the

      Within a short distance forest of Wychwood , over which there is an unlimited right of common . There is also plenty of goodhnilding , paving , andlime-stone on the estate . The whole will be Sold by Auction , without reserve , in numerous lots , affording to small capitalists , and other persons , an opportunity of possessing a Freehold Estate , which seldom presents itself ; and to the moniedman an advantageous mode of investment , as there cannot be a doubt of the allotments finding ready tenants to pay a good interest for the money invested .

      Full particulars and a plan of the estate will he ready fourteen days before the sale , to be obtained at the principal Inns in the neighbourhood , of the Auctioneer , or of Messrs . Lee and Bees , solicitors , Witney .

      " MURDER WILL OUT . " " When rogues fall out honest men come by their own . "

      TO THE WOESmG CLASSES . MrFbiends , . ' . ., - j When a charge , no matter / of what nature , I is brought against any person who attempts ! to serve your ofder , that charge , however exaggerated or unsustainable , is sure to receive the credence of your enemies . And to illustrate this feet , and to prove that" murder will out , " I wHI give yon two strong and irrefhtable proofs—the one with reference toaMrs . Watson , the other with reference to the WHISTLER at the Plough , of whose character , as an HONEST MAN , I have before furnished you with dear Shdirrefatable proofs , as extracted from the Dispatch and several other papers , with reference to trials to which he has been subjected for swindling , juggling , and cheating .

      I first give you Mrs . Watson ' s case , extracted verbatim from the Times Newspaper on Monday last . Here it is . GmiDHJUt . —Mr . Samuel Fry . of the firm of Messrs . Ry and . Haiti of Walbroafe-house , solicitors , appeared before Mr . Alderman Cballis for the purpose of applying for a summons against Mr . Feargus O'Connor , M . P ., to recover the sum of £ 60 , being the amount stated to have been received by him for the sale of property bequeathed to a Mrs . Watson , on whose behalf he applied . He

      stated that the lady , for whom the application was made , was in her nintieth . year , and that her brother , in 1818 , happened to he one of the fortunate allottees is the National Land Scheme , of which Mr . O'Connor was the sole director . The brother died , bequeathing the property to his sister , who at that time resided in Scotland . Mr . Try then read the following letter , addressed from the corresponding secretary to the National Land Company , to Mr . Watson ( the husband of the lady above-mentioned ) on making application for his allotment a short time previons to his death : —

      National land ( fcmnanj ' Mffiee , 14 * . High Holborn . I / mcton , March 15 , 1849 . So , —It has not been ramy power to return jou any positive answer respectjngyonr farm nntil this day . The farm at Sing ' s End , to which yon were entitled , is , as you are aware , one of those inferior ones nponwhich wood formerly stood , and for which , in consequence of its inferiority , an allowance of two years rent was to hare been made to joa . I find , botrenr , that Mr . O'Connor has sold that fannto some other party , and therefore the directors bare dadded that yon siaU hare instead a three-acre ftrm at Lowbaudi , one immensely superior in quality to the one at Safe's End . I am , however , instructed to say , that it whl not be in the power of the Directors to gire yonany aid money . There is oae doe to the expense fond , the usual expenses op to the dose ef the year , and if you hold any shares upon which the fall amount has aot been paid , yon wOl owe 2 d . per week per share siace the 18 th of NoTember , 1818 . Respectfully yours , H > . D . Wstson . T . Class , Corresponding Secretary .

      In October following Mr . Watson wrote again to the proprietors of the Land Company , complaining that the original allotment to him should havebeen transferred to another person without obtaining first his consent to such a proceeding ; and the following was the reply he received from the corresponding secretary : — 14 t , FighHolborn , London , Oct 86 . Sis , —It is true mat a party has taken possession of your three-acre ftrm , but he did so without the knowledge and against the express commands of the Dhtctsrs .

      repeated : applications the amount of money for which th » farm had been sold , she ( Mrs . Watson ) complained to the delegates in Scotland of the conduct of the Company towards her , and they immediately , thinking that she had been very badly used , communicated with the director or manager in London , when the following letter was forwarded to one of the delegates in reply : — .

Aftoir ^ waiting-eome considerable time for the mohsy ^ she at length wrote to-Mr , O'Connor at 34 , Npttinp-hill terrace , Bayswater , who at . once , forwarded her the following worthless deoament , as it was written upon an unstamped piece of paper : —

      I shall pay Mrs . Watson the sum of £ 50 in six months from this date , being the amount of a transfer at Low * bands , in the Land Csmpany .-Bated this 19 th of July , 1850 . FetBGOs . O'CamsoB . Si , Ifotting-liill-terrace , London . Immediately on receiving this document Mrs . Watson scraped together a little money and came to London , where she was robbed while passing np Fleet-street of every shilling she had in the world , and also a return ticket sho had obtained to go back to Scotland with . She gave information at the police-station of that district , and through the kindness of Inspector Scott she obtained a fresh ticket . But before returning she determined to see Mr . O'Connor personally , and she accordingly called at his residence , when she was informed that

      he was from home . She called the following morning early ; and , on sending in her name , she was informed that Mr . O'Connor was at home , hut not up , and requested to call again in an hour ; but , believing this -was only a ruse to get rid Of her , she said she would wait an hour iu tho hall , upon hearing which Mr . O'Connor dressed himself and came down . The result of the interview was , that Mrs . Watson was left to get . what she . could , and how she could , and she was advised to apply to a solicitor , and to place the matter in his hands . . Accordingly , Mr . Fry . was requested to attend to the case , and , after writing several times to Mr . O'Connor without being able to elicit any kind of an swer , he determined to apply to this court for a summons against Mr . O'Connor to show cause why he detained the amount claimed by Mrs .

      Watson . Alderman Chaiais said he conld not grant a summons , as the case-was not one that could come under his jurisdiction : The amount was £ 50 , and that was beyond the statute allowed to be received by a summons in a court of summary jurisdiction . Jfow , I request the reader strictly to peruse my answer ; I never did send this woman any acknowledgment of any money due to her , nor did I ever write her a letter , although the report states- that the receipt of one from me was the cause of her coming to London . And I will give the reader a veritable and incontrovertible statement as to my conduct . and her

      conduct . She called at my house , and in the presence of Mr . Hewitt , my secretary , told me , that all she-required was an ! acknowledgment for the money . I told her that knew nothing of the affair , -bat that , as she was an elderly woman , and as I believed the money bud-been paid into the Land Company , she should have it hack . She replied "Oh , GOD BLESS YOU . " I told her , that as I had no available funds , she mast not expect it before six months ; she said " That would do , if I would give her a written acknowledgment . " Mr , BEwrrt wrote the acknowledgment , I signed it , she took it np , kissed my

      hand , and again repeating " Oh , GOD BLESS YOU , " left the room . Now , wm the reader believe , that on the following morning I received a letter from her solicitor demanding immediate payment ? This pious solicitor , in his statement to the court , says : " That he made several applications to me for the money "—whereas he only made one . The press , to secure sympathy for this woman , states that she is ninety years of age , while the fact is , that she is about sixty , or a

      little more . Now , my statement is not upon the evidence of a Soh' citor , but upon evidence , not one word of which is exaggerated , or can be controverted . And I think it would he bat justice to the honest Land Members , if this old HAJRE 1 DAN never received one fraction of her claim , while its misrepresentation will give the reader a fair instance of the- lying hostility against which I have had to contend , and which no PORTION OF THE PRESS ever fails to circulate and exaggerate .

      Now , in order to convince the reader that the censure of slaves is adulation , and to convince him that I freely publish the slander of my most reviling enemies , I beg to submit the following circular , issued hytheTVHISTLER

      AT THE PLOUGH : — THE O'CONNOR LAND SCHEME AND " 05 E WHO HAS WHISTLED AT THE PLOUH . "

      Copy of a letter from 2 fr . SommeryilU to some friends in Manchester . Manchester , September , 1849 . Ge ? toemb . V-Some of yon have heard me state verbally ^ what my expenditure of money , loss of time , and loss of literary labour , have been during two and a half years of conflict with Mr . Feargus O'Connor ; I , at your request , commit the leading particulars to writing . I first wrote remarks on his Land Scheme in the summer of 1846 , and in the autumn of that year made several visits to the O'ConnbrriUe estate in Hertfordshire , to the Land Oifice in London , to the Joint Stock Registration Office , to examine

      the documents lodged there , and in search of members of the society , to obtain information ; all of which journeys , some from Manchester , some from London , some within those towns and some to other towns , were entirely undertaken at my own expense . For the articles contributed to theifonckester Examiner on this subject I was paid the nsual price , and nothing more , of literary contributions , such as I would have been paid for articles written at my own fireside , without the expense of money and time in travelling . This 1 state , because it was asserted and repeated over and over in O'Connor ' s paper , that I was paid for what I did otherwise than through the Manchetttr Examiner . This opinion prevails in Manchester still . It is not true .

      It-was not until the , middle of ! 8 t 7 that other newspapers ventured to combat the huge delusion of the Land Scheme , and that more transparent swindle , the Land and Labour Bank associated with it . And then it was chiefly from me they had there information . All that year I was incessantly engaged in examining the Scheme and swindle ; in warning tho shareholders of their danger ; in preventing Trade Societies , ' Benefit Societies , Burial Clubs and other Associations from sending their ftnds to the Land Bank . Thoug h ray , exposure of the unsoundness of the Bank did . not prevent all those societies from parting from their money , and I « tiW ^ a ^^ d " »! S 2 lSf for Nte ™

      them from ruin . But my timely rence threngTeers and machine makers would have lost £ 20 , 000 more than they did lose . I carried on an extensive correspondence , made other ^ visits to the estates purchased by Mr . O'Connor with the shareholders * subscriptions , to the Bank m London , to the Registration Office , and to branch societies , to gather information , and continued sow do after the newspapers ceased to publish what i wrote—their conductors thinking , not without reason , that the public were , for the time , tired of the subject Personally I was exposed in the streets to almost every species of indignity by tke adherents or paid servants of O'Connor . The election of Mr . Bright , in 1847 , was attended by a furious » ob , whose incessant cry was , «« Where istns

      Whistler ? " they believing , though erroneously , that Mr . Bright was the instigator and paymaster of what ! did about the Land Scheme . : Bfe $ fivate counsel from a quarter but too well informed of the O'Connor tactics , I left Manchester at the end hf 1847 , and resided in London , it being no longer safe for me to pass through the btreetsdurmg that winter . ¦ ¦ ; ''; ' ' "to In London . 1 continued my exposure of tho-Mnd Scheme ' by pamphlets and otherwise , and-finally broke up the Land Bank Swindle . I . reprinted a selection of my articles from , the Mxnthtifer : Eaamtrier , ' sentcopies free by . po ' st , td"hearlyjall the members of parliament , to most of the neweppers in town and country , to nearly , all trade ' societies whose . address I could obtain , and to most ? of the branches of the Land Scheme Society . When the t . ^ -1 * .-. ' . *¦

      parliamentary committee investigated- 'the-Land Scheme , ^ in 1848 , , Iga ve all my time to thq -Investigation for about three months , and expended-about £ 10 in money in ^ collecting ; evidence , by joiii & kBip the '' country , and in bringing persona to London to toe 5 witnesses ; These , however , were notVesllgd upon ; and consequently not paid ( except part' ^ of tjieir expenses by me , J because , after the i $ cu » l auditor ; had : gone' over such accounts ;^ M O'Connor . laid , before' ttiS ^ obmmitteeV "'' % o there being ho . proof that those were not ] the trtit accounts or the whole of them ,- and the . audito-re porting that he saw no error in'them , thCTOht

      rmttee called no further evidence . ; My : correa . pqndence at this time and daily attendance at Westminster were heavily expensive ; '' One item of remuneration , and only one , was paid to me , namelv , for providing a Summary of the Land Scheme and Land Bank History for the private use of the chairman of the committee previous to his entering upon the inquiry . Beyond this I have not received a shilling , except / or such articles as the Jfixnchester Examiner published , AH the money received from every source in respect of my labours on this subject would not reimburse me for cash paid out Of pocket - in expenses , to say-nothing of printing

      pamphlets which were " given away , placards of caution addressed to working , men in the streets of London on the 10 th of April , and the loss of time arid literary labour , which consumed the best'portions of two years and a half . lam not ignorant of the purpose for which this statement is required . Ifor shall I express diffidence about it . Though the Land Scheme must have ultimately fallen from its inherent rottenness , it would have gone on much longer in its career of deception had ! not brought the bank to a crisis arid stopped its supplies . I was , in 1847 , frequently told , in Manchester , that I was doing good service

      to the working classes and the public generally in exposing that huge humbug , and on remarking that it was an expensive task I had in band , was told that there would he no want of funds to meet . expenses . I have not received a penny , Indeed I nave not asked for it . Yet an author ( especially one who takes up a subject of publioNimportance , as I have done on . more occasions than one , from principle ) is the only professional person who seems to be left to work for nothing . Regard for my family must now direct me to do otherwise , and determine me to accept some of that money expended for the public good , if the public think fit to repay it , I would nothave been in Lancaster Castlo for

      debt had I not spent my money and time in putting down the O'Connor Laud Scheme . I only obtained my liberation through the Insolvent Court . I only sought it after six months of imprisonment , when I found I was not able to turn my literary labour to : profit sufficient to pay . my . way out . I only got through the court by borrowing money to pay the legal lees * I gave up all literary property in copyrights or otherwise to the official assignee , and yet my Urmfde debts were not more than ray losses in this long contest against the O'Connor Land fraud . These I hope to repurchase before long ; and also to bring out some literary works now in preparation , as soon as the struggle for daily bread allows me time to finish them .

      To effect the purpose-indicated in this letter , the reimbursing of Mr . SomerviHe in his expenses incurred in his long contest with Mr . ' O'Connor , and to enable him to have at least as fair a position as if no such contest had occurred , seme of his friends have caused this circular to be issued . Mr . Htdb Greg , has , in addition to a . donation of £ 10 , kindly undertaken to receive any sums remitted to him . Subscribers will , therefore , make such sums as they may contribute payable to ROBERT HYDE GREG , Esq ., Manchester ,

      Does . this require comment ? Think of the piety , the honesty and philanthropy , of this convicted swindler ! . Think of his . gene rosity , spending his own money , . and devoting his profitable time to the protection of the poor ! ! and looking to Manhcester as the source from whence he expects compensation I !! Here is a pretty trio ;—the Manchester Examiner paying him for his abuse of the Land Company : one

      of the : suckers of infant ' s blood giving him £ 10 for his abuse of that system which would have taken the children and their parents out of his clutches : and the representative of Manchester one of his ataunchest friends . But that is not all ; look to the Chairman of the Committee-GOODENOUGH HAY TER . 1 will give the reader the trouble of again reading the passage with reference to this HONEST Chairman ' s conduct . The WHISTLER

      says : — " One item of remuneration , and one only , was paid to me , namelyfor providing a summary of the Land Scheme and Land Bank history for the private use of the Chairman of the Committee , previous to his entering upon the inquiry . " Now , what does the reader think of a Government official , appointed as chairman of a Committee to investigate the conduct of a Member of Parliament , with reference to the funds of the working classes ? What , I say , must the reader tbink of such a

      chairmansuch an official—giving SECRET SERVICE MONEY to a convicted scoundrel , for furnishing him with falsehoods ? But , with God ' s blessing , and the support of the toiling millions—to elevate whose condition I have sacrificed friends , relatives , time , and money—I will live down all slander , triumph over all my enemies , elevate the working classes , and leave the world better than I found it—though I should be reviled , while living , and die a pauper ; as I am resolved that neither slander , treachery , persecution , nor prosecution , shall ever turn me one inch from my course .

      I will give the reader another instance of the philanthropy of patriots . On Monday last Humphrey Brow « presented a petition to the House of Commons precisely similar to that which Sir B . Hall presented last Session . It was from the ruffianly portion of those located on the Saig ' s End and Lowbands Estates , and not one of whom baa paid a fraction of rent for three years . It was signed by

      Dbwhuest , who owes the Company between six and seven hundredponnds ; it was signed by d'BniBjr , the schoolmaster , at Lowbands , who undertook to carry out the allotment system for a large landed proprietor , near Tewkcs * bury ; and it was presented by Humphrey Brown ; with reference to whose integrity , 1 beg to furnish the reader with the following letter : — - ¦

      TO FEARGUS O'COMOB ; ESQ ., M . P . ! Sib , —Mr . ' Humphrey Brown ( if it is the member for Tewkesbury , ) on his moving , that the petition on yonr Land question , which ho presented last night be printed , whether if his tranVtaking creditors were to petition parliament for their just rights at bis hands , how he would stand in the eyes of liie country . After having been a bankrupt once , if not twice ,

      which has never been superseded ; he was reduced to penury in-, 1844 , and turned traffic-taker to the railway nubbles , at which he got the money he is now supposed to . possess , which , he realised at the expense'of other people ' s ' labour and brains , and compounded with the poor fellows he engaged to take traffic for him through ; the country at six shdi lings in the poutid .

      Mr. Ernest Joneses Statement Of Grievanc...

      MR . ERNEST JONESES STATEMENT OF GRIEVANCES AGAINST THE VISITING JUSTICES OF TOTHILLFIELDS BRIDEWELL . My Dear Sib , — . I believe you are sufficiently acquainted with the discipline of this prison from my former statements . I will therefore Ipaas over this part of my " complaints" and at once say ~ that , with a view . to obtain some redress for what I conceived to be treatment ; contrary to my sentence , ! applied , in Mai-ch , 1849 , ' for leave to . write'toith 9 ' Judge , who sentenced ine | ( the then ^ hi ' ef : Justice . Wilde , ) -to inquire whether'his-intentipn , ; . was ,. ; tiiati . I should .--be shbjected . tothe severities'and hardships I was then undergoing , and had been suffering for nine months ?

      After considerable delay and much acrimony , I received a writtenAnswer from the Board to this effect : — «• May write to Justice Wilde' to ask ' if his sentence is correctly setdownj" coupled with a copy of my warrant of committal . On receipt of this reply , I wrote the . following letter to the Judge : — . . ' ( Copy . ) " House of Correction , Westminster , " Saturday , 19 th March , 1849 . " Lord , —By the warrant of my committal to the House of Correction , Westsiinster , according to the interpretation of tho magistrates of this prison , I am , and have now been during nearly nine months ,

      subjected to pick oakum , or else fined for not doing so ; to the " silent system" —to solitary confinement—or else to the liability of being associated in the same room with about . 200 criminals of the lowest descri p tion ; to wearing the same prison garb and particoloured cap , with such criminals , and to other discipline of a nature so rigorous , ns to render even a smile , or looking to the right or left , a punishable offence . I , therefore , beg to inquire of your Lordship ( the Judge by whom I was sentenced ) whether , such being the effect of the abovenamed warrant , my sentence therein is correctly sot down ? •* I am , my Lord , "Your Lordshi p ' s most obedient servant , " Ebnebt Chabi , es Johbs . "

      This letter the . Board refused to send ; stating as a ' . ground , "thatI could not hallowed to state to the Judge the nature of the treatment I received . " !!!_ This is my statement on my solemn oath ' As J . made a great noise about this ; they subsequently asserted that the statements in my letter were'' * false , " and the Governor , on that occasion , insulted me , 'by accusing me of " writinga wilful and deliberate falsehood /' for which I demanded , a humble apology ; on his refusal I laid a complaint before tho Board , and the Board " exonerated me of the slightest intention to tell a . falsehood or prevaricate , "

      and asked me "to excuse the Governor , as he was waiTn-temperedr-and men would sometimeslose their temper . " Thechargeof falsehood' was founded on the fact of my statingin the letter , that "I was subjected to pick oalcuin , or ehefined for not doing so , " whereas ' . ' it was not a fine for non-performance of oakum picking , but a payment for my keep . " But the fact is , that if ; i did . not pay I was sentenced to pick oakum , and if ' the money was in arrear , the arrears had to be paid up ; and tho governor arid officers , in speaking of the payment , always called it a fine . The second ground for" charging me with writing a falsehood was , " that I had stated I ' . was in solitary

      confinement ; " whereas , Mr . Pownal , Chairman of the Board of Quarter Sessions , said , "I was not aolitarj / , I was okw alonb , bt mysbm '; " these , are his exact words . It seems " solitary , " in the prison patois , means a dark cell on bread and water . I , of course , persist in stating that " being alona" means " solitary . " But , to allow of no loophole , 1 then offered to after my letter as they should dictate , and to substitute the following sentences for the tWO objectionable ones : — ¦ ¦ : " Subjected to pick oakum , and only exempted on paymen t of 5 s . weekly ; " and i in the second instance , to change- « ' solitsry confinement " - into tie Board

      ' separate confinement . " . I ^ ere «^ on definitiveltiref ^ d to allow me tow ' riltto the Judge , or state to Mm Aou > J was treated , i / iough J made afcrmal statement oefore the Board , thatsuch treaimenttuas contrary to the « ntenc « of tfie Judge as given in Court , and that Itvaidt that time—and had been all alongsubjected to certain hardships which the Judge had , Bt KAMK , said we should not be subjected to . Having now invain applied to ' the Governor , the Board , Captain-Williams , the Inspector of Prisons , and by letter tc Sir George Grey / on the 17 th of April , 1849 , a copy of which letter . I possess , and which I wrote pursuant to your advice , on the Cth of April , 1840 , 1 demanded leave to petition Parlia-¦ ¦ ¦ ¦

      ment . " ' - •" The Board , refused permission . I insisted , whereupon the Board demanded a written statement of the grounds wlicreon I desired to petition ; I handed in a paper containing seven reasons , and concluding with ft protest against their prohibition , and against their demand for having my ' reasons as arguing a doubt ai my right to petition Parliament . - Amongthe 'reasons were-- " treatment not beinpacoording ;< tO ; sentence , " ' , ' my health being unable ,: tO ; , b , e « r , the , diB , qipline ,.. jand therefore my l ?^ to . petiti ph .

This -. was ^ granted ; ' hut on the '" ni ' xt mornina ( befOTe ; them 6 ney . '< conl 4 ' possibly have arrived ) , ( l «< pdered : ; to . comtfybe wrfc'immtdiaiely . I thereupon said : ¦ " I refuse to work , on the following 8 , ou -W s ~ I i- am ; , not / , Ben | finced , to \ labour ; I have asked permission , to ac 3 uAfa " t ; the ; Judge , thatI am forced to ' perform'l abour * # hd havojbpr ' refused ; I have asked permission td' Petition Parliament—the undoubted / right bfrthesi ^ ject ^ aW fused ; iyou hftveithiSre | jBfe ' 'yiolateo - the Jaws of the country ; . ; ' until iMmj- whichi , I shall noifbbey your order ^ to ; performvforceii mbdii ¥ i But , I tell youj that the . instant you supply , me with pen . ink .

      and paper ,, to write to the Judge , and to petition Parliament , ' that instant I will commence picking oakum , protesting ; however , against such labour , as beingebntrary to my sentence . " I was thereupon ordered by the Governor , wiibJ OCT nZFBBXNCB TO IBS BOARD , Which did H 0 t flieet till four days later , to be locked up in a solitary cell on bread and water , without books . I replied : "I go—but protest againstit , and merely yield ' under compulsion . " ; It occurred to rae > -however , to ask " for what period I was sentenced ? " . whereupon the Governor replied : ' " I shan ' t tell you 1 As long asl please ! I put you in when I please , and take you out- whenVIplease ! " I then said : " I refuse

      to submit to so iniquitous a sentence , and refuse to leave this spot . " The Govehor then directed his officers to drag 1 me : to the cell ~ J resisted , positives , though the Deputy-Governor seized me by the neck , and- an officer named Bgerton by the ancles ; and , as I proved too strong for them , after we had struggled some time ; the Governor , to use his own expression , " brought up a strong reinforcement , " and I capitulated with all the » honors of war . " My three days incarceration in a cell—the nature of which I shall forbear to describe heremade me very inland from that day I had not an hour ' s health in the prison . ' On the , 19 th of May , 1849 , 1 sent in a paper , of which the following is a copy , to the Board : —

      " 10 TUB GOVBRNOR . " Sib , —I wish to make the following applications to the Visiting Justices at their meeting of this day . — ¦ " / '•; ¦¦ "Mist ; 'To he informed , under the ' authority of what law they prevent me Irom petitioning parliament , seeing THEY HAVE ADMITTED that the Act , regulating this Prison oives thru so scch Power ; and as I am willing to submit , without a moment ' s hesitation , to every duly authorised restriction , but equally determined to oppose , by every lawful means in my power , those which I consider illegal , until shown that I am in error . " 2 nd . To be informed by what law they prevent me from acquainting the Judge by whom I was sentenced with the treatment to which I am subjected ; and from asking him if such treatment is in accordance . with his sentence—believing , as I do , that it is not ,

      " 3 rd . To ask for the means of writing to Sir George Grey , to state to him that the Visiting Justices prevent me from petitioning parliament , and requesting . his interference in the matter . " I have the honour to be , Sir , " ¦ ¦ ¦¦ " Your obedient servant , ; f' ; "Ernest Jokks . " . . ' : The . Magistrates refused to give me any answer to ray two first applications ,, but rallowed ! me to write to Sir George-Grey . My letter to him was a brief one , merely asking his interference to enable me , to petition parliament , and stating the conduct of the Board in that matter .. He never noticed it . I must here observe , that the act requires a sentence of imprisonment or punishment to be passed by « 'TWOor MORE of the Visiting Justices ;"

      consequently , it was clearly not competent for the governor tojsentence . me to the " bread and water cell . " Again , the governor refused to let me see tho Board , bt the Board ' s dihection , to make an application , or prefer a complaint ; but stated "I must in future make my application to see them in writing , stating the grounds , when they would decide whether 1 should be allowed to appear before the Board or not . " Thus I was denied redress ns against the Home-office at the bands of parliament ; asagaiMt the Board , at ' the hands of the Secretary of State ; as against the Governor , at the hands of the Board—so that a prisoner is thrown utterly on the mercy of the Governor—the more so as he told me I could hot receive or write a letter ,

      though the quarterly period should have arrived , while " refractory ; " and , even when allowed to write , the . Governor arrogated the right of suppressing any letters he might consider objectionable . What with severe illness—which was continualand the payment of money , after a lapse of some weeks , the points in dispute stood in abeyance till the close of . August , 1849 , when money being again in arrear seven days , and oakum being again brought , and I persisting in my conditional refusal of not performing labour unless allowed to write to tha Judge , and unless my right of petitioning parliament was acknowledged—the Board came to an unconditional decision , that Imustwrh , not even giving me the option of paying . This must

      be m their Mavte-hook . I subsequently , 'on their complaining that money was not forthcoming , forbade them to receive any money in my behalf until the two points in dispute were satisfactorily settled . But , in the midst of this they sentenced me to six days' imprisonment in a cell about four feet by six , on bread and water , with even the Bible taken away from me , though I was ill at'the time of a bowel complaint—had been so seriously ill shortly before that I was taking two doses of violent medicine per diem—ANO THOUGH TUB CHOIERA WAS RAOINO AT THB Tins—and they , were . dying in tub cms mext to me ! Sharp and Williams were , sentenced conjointly with me , * and , of us three so sentenced , two ( Sharp and Williams ) died in consequence 5 ! On Saturday morning . I was called before the Board , told that I could neither write nor receive a letter—though it . was my quartern time for

      writing—and ordered to work . IU as I was , I refused to work ; but consented to let the money be received on my account , if offered . I nm sorry I yielded thus far as to allow them to receive the money—but I bid n to sav » mtt life . .-. Notwithstanding this , I was told ( this was Saturday , at four p . m . ) that the oakum would be brought to mo on Monday morning , and that I must pick it . I said I certainly should not submit to the degradation of forced labour when I believed that such was not my sentence , and while they refused raepermission to ask the judgeif I was sentenced to it , or would not let mo petition parliament . Messrs . Arden and Boso then sentenced meto another week ' s imprisonment in a " solitary cell , " on bread and water . I had AiREAnr been in six days ! That very evening the money arrived , and , I have no doubt , its arrival saved my life . . '

      J must say , I have a very , very great desire that this matter should come before the house , and then before the country . I think , on pilbUo grounds , it is worth . stirring in , as involving the right to petition parliament , and applying to the Judge , when sentence is manifestly not in accordance with judgment . Moreover , the right of complaint and appeal to the board themselves was even denied , and the treatment in the Cholera time was scandalous . The verdict of the jury at Williams ' s inquest passed a strong molution condemnatory of the bread and water

      sentence ^ and the duration of the punishment ; and , in Sharpe ' s case , one of the Jury ( there were sixteen ) refused to coincide with the verdict of the restj and , I believe , entered , his protest . Moreover , in my first incarceration , in May , the sentence , as passed by the Governor , was contrary to the act . But , beyond that matter , I repeat here , I have no "desire to . urge a complaint against the Governor , who , I believe , is rather a good man , and to whom , I . believe , lam indebted for some little alleviation , and acts ; of kindness .

      If you can bring this matter forward , I should be very glad . J-have here made a statement , for tho truth of every item of which I am ready to vouch on oath , and can , indeed , bring the evidence of the prison minute books , SUrgeon ^ a book , « fco . ; besides my ; letters to my irife , and to yourself , which are trict evidence , as they are read before leaving the prison , by the Governor ; and the object of this is , to prevent misstatements and dangerous letters from leaving the prison .-- : " 'V < : •' ¦ ' j lam truly sorry to-have'trenched'so much oh your trmeas'tohave written ' so long a ^ letterianll written ; it so badly . but ^ my hand bag not yet grown

      The Ten Hours Bill. . Meeting Op Delegat...

      THE TEN HOURS BILL . . MEETING OP DELEGATES AT HALIFAX . A rceeting of Factory Delegates , called by cuv cular , of the varioas towns in the West Hiding , was held at Nicholl ' s Temperance - Hotel ; Broadstreet , Halifax , on Sunday , the 28 th of July , 1850 . Robert Wilkinson , in the chair , fhe following places were represented : — Halifax Short Time Committee , one ; Woodside Shed , Haley Hill , three ; Dean Clougb Mil ] two ; Dennisons Mill , Lee Bridge , oner ; fYbitl worth ' s Mill , Lee Bridge , one ; Copley Millj three ; Stamfield Mill , Triangle , one ; Kebroyd Mia ] Triangle , one ; Ripponden Mill , one : Kiug Cross Mill , No . 1 , one ; King Cross Mill , No . 2 , one ; Queenshead , Foster ' s Mill , one ; Shibden Mill , one ; Dewsbury , one ; Bradford , four ; Todmorden , ¦¦

      one . ; ,. - The Chairman opened the business by stating that they had been called together to consider what further steps should be taken to demonstrate the opinion of the factory workers on the conduct of Lotu Ashley in the compromise of Ibe Ten Hours Bill . They bad met under most painful circumstances on previous occasions . But however painful it might be to be cheated out of what they bad guaranteed to themrby the laws of their country , yet they were not to be disheartened but still struggle onward till they obtained thelmtoration of the Ten Hours BUI . The Chairman then called upon the delegates from the several localities to state what was the feeling of the factory workers in their several districts .

      The Halifax Delegate said that he was glad to have the opportunity of again meeting the friends of the Ten Hours Bill ; for he could-assure them that after the shameful manner in which their cause had been treated by parties whose conduct deserved the strongest reprobation , ye notwithstanding the treachery of- Lord : Ashley and the baseness of his tools , the factory workers of Halifax , he could assure them , would never cease agitation , until they had secured a full , fair , and efficient Ten Hoars Bill .

      The Bradford Delegate stated that the factory workers approved of the ground-work of the mini ? , terial bill , but they strongly objected to the two hours additional labour per week . As far as Bradford was concerned he . was sure that every effort that could be made would be cheerfully rendered to secure the object for which they had SO long struggled . He then stated that there was a strong feeling in his district against the compromise of Lord Ashley . The Todmorden Delegate said that as far as his district was concerned they felt strongly on the sacrifice of the best interests of their children , and

      that though it might be thought by some that this compromise , of Lord Ashley ' s would settle the question , he was sure that it would do no such thing ; but that ft would rouse them to double exertion . He could assure them that no effort would be left untried to accomplish so desirable an object as that of securing to the factory workers the opportunity of improving their social , moral , and religious condition ' in life . He then spoke in strong terms reprobating the conduct of Lord Ashley , Philip Grant , and others , and concluded by observing that he looked forward with hope to theobtainmentof the Ten Hours Act .

      The other Delegates then gave statements breathing the same sentiments as those expressed by the previous speakers . The following resolutions were then moved and seconded by the delegates present , and carried unanimously : — « 1 st . " That in the opinion of this meeting , Lord Ashley has basely and treacherously betrayed the interests of the factory children . After breaking faith with the factory operatives , we have , no more confidence in my Lord Ashley , Philip Grant , or

      any of their tools who have acted with them , remembering the promise which my Lord Ashley has always held out to the operatives employed in factories— 'That he would die inthelastdiich . ' That we , the delegates , take this opportunity of expressing our utmost contempt and indignation to his lordship , for the scandalous , abominable and disgraceful niannet he has mamfesttd in having betrayed the factory cause . And we also take this op . portunity of ringing this as the last death knelt betwixt Ashley , his colleagues , and the factory operatives , and bid them an everlasting adieu . "

      2 nd . " That in the opinion of this meeting , the bill which has recently received the sanction of both houses of parliament , for the regulation of the labour of young persons and females employed in factories , is practically a repeal of tbe Ten Hours Bill passed bx 1847 , «« hkh act baa never been petitioned against by the factory operatives . We therefore are of opinion that the masters , by repealing the Factory Act , have lost the confidence of the factory operatives of this country . "

      3 rd . ' That in the opinion of this meeting the factory workers of this country ought to renew once more the agitation for a real and efficient Ten Hours Bill for all young persons and females , and that no child be allowed to commence work earlier in the morning ww later in the evening than females and young persons employed in factories . And that this meeting therefore call upon them to do so , and to solicit the aid and support of all the trades in England and Scotland in favour of the principle on which that measure is based . ' '

      4 th . " That this meeting pledges itself to use every constitutional means to obtain an efficient Ten Hours Bill , without relays and shifts , and that we will never rest satisfied until the two limitations of ten hours per day and fifty-eight hours per werk become the law of the fond . " , ¦ 5 tb . " That the thanks of this meeting are due and are hereby given , to Lord John Manners , the Duke of Richmond , and all our friends in parliament . And also a vote of thanks ( o Richard pastier , V"V Walker , and S . Fielder ., Esqs ., and all friends out of parliament . " / . „ , . v ' \ Aftera vole of thanks to the Chau-man , the ; meetingseparated .
