      TO THE PEOPLE . Fbie > i > 5 , —How get the subscriptions on ! What 13 the prospect of your doomed victims' families , this cold weather ! Stir ; stir ! The work may be hard ; but tbe time shortens and it must be done . You must not be shamed in the eyes of the whole world which i 3 looking on . You mm make an effort ; a strong and determined effort ; such an one as yon never made before . The struggle is for you , and you must not sacrifice the stragglers .

      From Mr . O'Connor ' 3 letter I learn a piece of law which I did not previously know . It teems that one expensive difficulty—that of getting the " Conspirators '' to Manchester—may be shifted from your shoulders to that of the enemy ; the conditions being that the parties be tried and convicted and sentenced in their absence . How far this may suit the inclination of many of them , I cannot say . I know they shall not convict me , without my having a word with them about it . But , in any caso . if convictions do

      take place , and if imprisonments follow , tbe families must be looked to . Many of them will have no means of helping themselves at all ; and these yon must provide for . Where they have the means of living by their own labour , I think they ought to do so ; bnt scores are likely enough to be utterly unable to do this ; and these are legitimately your poor , whom you are bound to maintain . And you have no r ight to permit the patriot props of these households to be" knocked away , withont first satisfying them that provision has been made .

      There is another part of O Connor's letter to which I invite specially your earnest contemplation : the second , contemplated , League Outbreak . I have means of knowing that this is fact . Taat emissaries are already abroad and at work . The same crafty game is being played as before . The ** dodge" is to biin ^ the Chartists in for it ; and , in fact , if possible , to make them do it . The work of tampering has

      already begun again . Letters and secret agents are gliding abont cautiously and stealthily inciting the people to regret the opposition tbat was offered by the rational among their leaders to the l&Bt League-trap , and to incense them against those who saved thousands of them from destruction , and the country from a worse state of ruin than even that in which it is . Thus it is

      hoped will a plan be formed of impatient , unreasoning , and consequently short-sighted suffering , on which their sconndrel operations can be snccessfnlly carried on . I know that letters are now circulating from hand to hand , and that parties are most busy in private conversations , denouncing O'Connor as a cow . ard for not coming out" on the last occasion to " lead

      on" the people . I know that these letters , and some of tbe parties thu 3 bu «^ , are those on whom O'Connor ha * bestowed , and very recently too , what I think to he ill jndged and certainly ill deserved commendations . O'Connor will find oat in time who are his friends , and the people will find out who are the traitors . All will come in good time . Things are hastening to a denouement .

      It is useless to ask me whence I have my mforaation . I have it ; and I know it is correct . Tho 3 e who know me best know that I never speak , bnt upon velvets I never level my gun till 1 am sure of my game . I name these things now to pnt jou on your guard . ATTEMPTS ARE NOW

      BEING MADE TO GET UP ANOTHER STRIKE . Attempts will be made to get up incendiary fires . Every effort will be made by tbe soulless , bloodless , mnpkihrifts to raise tbe wind . The trap will be , as before , gilded with a gpeciousness of seeeming ; your beet feelings will be invited to betray you . The " Charter" and the " Rights of labour" will be again made the watchword ; and the ebject jb now , as before , to destroy you . The last " move" of this kind did much . It wronght more mischief to the cause than

      all other evils which have befallen ub for tbe last ten years . It might have been yet more successful but for " that bl—ted watchtower" — " that d—d Northern Star that spoils every thing . " I quote words wbich will be known by those who used them . 1 warned you last year , against the trap tbat was then laid for yon . I told you it was a trap . I knew more than most of you did . I have better opportunities of knowing . I have more eyes than most of you hare . Many of you however chose to listen to tbe big mouthers who " wanted to bring

      it to a finish '; and you have found the " finish " they brought it to for you ! They plumped you over head and ears into the League trap ; And theT 8 some of them left you . Yon saw nothing , and heard precious little , of them , while the danger lasted The infernal trap is again being baited ; and , from their skulking holes , they squeak by letter abont my eowardiee 3 and about O'Connor ' s cowardice 1 I warn yon now again . Tbe enemy is on tbe ytri vive . If you be again let in for it , " don ' t blame me . 1 may npt , for some time , have another

      opportunity of warning yon . I do warn you now . Another strike will be attempted . Failing that , every means will be tried to excite or force you into violence . A League Scamp , whom I know more of than he thinks I do , sent here this week for insertion in the j S / ar ,-a most insidions incendiary address to the Colliers ; seeking to get them out . " The Scamp thought his assumed calling , " A labourer in thB Mines , " would ensure him attention here . Foot fool I He knows nothing of honest working men ' s habits , or be would not have attempted the trick . I warn him not to try it again , even if 1 should be " locked opf which . 1 presume 1 s&ani . Bb * if 1 be , the " Watch

      Tower" will not be deserted . I shall leave on it one whose ] eye 3 are too quick , and whose aim 1 b too steady , to " miss fire" at a single robber of them all . I have been in North Lancashire thiB week . I found them a set of fine fellowB . Just what Chartists should be . "Up to the mark , " but yet cool , prudent , and discriminating . The complexion of Chartism ia this district was never so healthful as now . It is much improved ; and I attribute the improvement mainly to the fact that the poverty of the people since the " plug-drawing , " and for & short time before , has protected them from the predatory excursions of the " M lice on the

      beetle ' s back , " the tramping paid agitators—the " bring it to a finish " men . They have steady firm , and good leaders resident among them ; and under their judicious arrangements and advice , they are now presenting to the front of faction a more certain and telling opposition than they have ever previously done . I aever saw finer fellows than the Bacup "Lads . " They are an honour to our cause and - « fleet no small credit npon the gallant Beesley , of whose brigade they form a portion . The meetings there on Sunday were well filled , though the bills

      announced a tax of threepence , which I much regretted the necessity of . On Monday and Tuesday I should have been at Accrington and Clitheroe But such is the intensity of middle-class sympathy that in neither of those town ? , nor in Blackburn ' could a room be had for love or money . I therefore lectured on Monday and Tuesday evenings , in a small chapel , kindly lent for the occasion by the Rev . Mr . M'Phail , Baptist Minister , of Hound Coat , a sort of " Central point ' near no place ; about two miles from Accrington and four from Burnley . The distance was too far for the " lads" who had work to travel on a cold night , and return after ten o ' clock

      having to rise again at five for work ; and those who had no work were kept out by fhe three-peuay tax at the door , an arrangement wbich I am sorry wa adopted . These causes made the meetings at Hound Coat thin ; but they were of the right sort who came . I learned much about tha late strike in North Lancashire ; many very interesting facts which I may sometime tell for tbe good of the League . I learned also some other " small facts , " which in due time I shall unbottle . Meanwhile , let me repeat once more , though it should even be the last time the "warning I have so often given you . Watch well your leaders ; and beware of the big talkers they are your worst enemies after all .

      I am indebted to the kind and gentlemanly courtesy of Mr . O Connor ' s attorney , M . Turner , Esq ., of London , for the information that our trial is fixed for Wednesday , the 1 st of March , and that the Attorney-General is to prosecute in person . This will give me a day or two longer than I expected ; 1 shall not now neod to be in Lancaster before Tuesday . I name this especially to my Hull friends ; many of whom I dare say will be at our little tt Bethel" on Sunday , intending to givo

      me the " good bye" grasp of the hand . I shall not now come to Hull on Sunday . My " lads" must do without me and leave me that day ' tis tbe only one I shall get—foi a little rest . On the Sunday following , I shall have been six years with them : I was desirous to spend that anniversary with them , and I thank the Government for the unintentional indulgence . The address , therefore , whioh I intended to deliver in our Church room on Sunday , I reserve antil the Sunday following : and I name it now to prevent disappointment .

      If I escape the tiger ' s den , I shall take an earlj opportunity of taking personal counsel with the people of the many districts to which 1 have received , invitations , and of others who may wish to " hao a crack wi' me . " If I am " caged , " I shall at all events go with the satisfaction of knowing that I leave the Star in safe hands till my return ; that its brightness will neither grow dim nor faint in my absence . I shall know that I have done my duty ; and I shall stalk into my gloomy domicile

      with more satisfaction than any one of the League millocrats , of whose tools I am the victim , will feel when spreading out his feet upon the hearth-rug of his mansion " built by blood . " I am , as ever , Your faithful friend and servant , Wm . Hill . Northern Star Office , LcedB , Thursday , Feb . 16 th , 1843 .

      P . S . —Friday Morning . —It ib seldom that a Postscript accompanies any letter from me ; but I mnst give you to this a mournful one . For many years , the sum of my domestic and personal happiness has been restricted solely to the endearmentB of a daughter whom I almost adored , a father whom I revered , and a mother-in-law whom I love . About sixteen months ago , the light of my eyes departed from me ; my daughter escaped , and went home . I have never recovered the shock I then received to my natural feelings and constmiLion . I never shall . Tbe " folks" were then " my all " . My father was infirm and subj ct to much severe indisposition ; but be was—my father— . No one who knew him

      could help loving him . All did love him . I did more : I revered him . I had great reason so to do : I fhall never see his like again . He had been " poorly" for some years . That is to say , long continued industrious activity had done its work ; an exee'lent natural constitution had given way ; and the "infirmities of age" pressed on him somewhat heavily . He was in his 72 nd year . I left him " toddling about the house '' in his customary manne * yesterday , afi « sr or . r f t-ogal noon-dav meal , whea I came up 10 the office to write my letter to you . I had finished it , and the paper had gone to press but a very t-hort time , when a me 3 * enger arrived in breathless haste to summon me . 1 ran into the street , leapt into the first coach I saw ,

      and bade the coachman " drive for life" ; he did so but vainly ; I waa too late to catch his dying breath : it was gone . He was a corpse in his chair . If , then , the fiends of faction have vindictive punishment in store for me , they have here a fine scope for exultation . Their devilries will fall upon a lacerated mind ; but , tbongh lacerated , they will find that it has not lost its elasticity ; though bowed , it is rot broken : it will resist the pressure , and repel the blows , of tyranny with as much vigour as though its natural firmness had not been softened by the rendiny asunder of its tics . The wailtngs of the widowed mother , who is some years older than my father was , at her supposed prospect of a speedy severance from me also , may form but a melancholy accompaniment to

      tbe necessary duties of " preparation for trial " which I have yet to begin . May it please God , only to njve ma health for the next week ; and ihen they shall sot yet prevent me from being " ready " . The poor old man often wept at the approach of the trials , and expressed his conviction that if 1 should be imprisoned , he should nevermore see roe . It was his constant theme of conversation ; it preyed hard upon his mind ; it stalled and fretted him severely ; be was too weak for is ; and 1 doubt not that he adds another to tne long list of murders by the devilish system Whether the old woman and myself may be also added , remains for proof . But it is only Dy multiplied misery that their enp can be filled . It is filling fast , and may soon ruu over . Wm . Hill .

      Our last week's article oa the " March of Machinery , " has produced , as we anticipated , a great sensation amongst the producers of woollen cloths . Many have been the shruggings of shoulders and shakings of heads , during the past week ; and many have been the surmises and inquiries as to what will become of the parties so surely to be displaced io the labour market by the " new" and " improved" machinery .

      We have heard of the sayings and doings of one little knot of producers which are deserving of some little note . They were met together , as scores of working men now have to do , to hear the Northern Star read ; and of course the article in question became the subject of more than ordinary attention . Gloomy were the forebodings , and despairing were the conclusions tbat many of them arrived at . They thought they saw utter ruin staring them full in the face . At length one man , an old mam , bid them not to be completely cast down ; not to sink into the earth at once ; but

      to look the matter full in the face , and Bee if there was not some means or other that could be adopted to make these new means of producing wealth , work to the advantage of the workers . " Let us reason on this matter , ' said he ; " here , on one hand , is a machine capable of aiding in the production of wealth . Suppose that by its' means one hundred pound ' s worth is produced in one year , and the cost of keeping it in repair is ten pounds . Then there are ninety pounds clear gain to those who get it . We have on the other hand , a Bishop , who takes from us some £ 30 , 000 a-year . But he produces nothing .

      Which do you think we could do best without , the Bishop , or the Machine I We have Mrs . Adelaide alf 0 . She gets from us £ 100 , 000 every year . What does she produce ! Anything 1 /* she of any use , as far as production of wealth is concerned ? . Ia she as useful as the Machine ? Which would it be wise for us to dispense with , suppose it should come to be a question as to whether should go , Adelaide , or the Machine ? For my part I would keep the machine . I would try if it could not be arranged so tbat I could have my share of what the machine produced ; and then I fancy I should not be so very much against machinery . "

      There are some very queer points put here ! What does the reader think about them I We hardly dare venture to express an opinion about some of them . Good God , —where are we getting to—and what will become of us 1

      Melancholy Case Of Starvation In York.

      melancholy case of starvation in York .

      ( Abridged frem the York Herald J This week the deaths of a mother and her infant son have occurred in this city , under very painful circumstances . The death of the former was caused from want of the common necessaries of life , and that of the latter from exposure to the cold and irregularity of food . On Monday evenmg , an inquest was held at the workhouse by John Wood , Esq ., the coroner , on view of the body of the mother , whose name was Mary Clegg . The following witnesses were called : —

      Mr . John Gnmshaw deposed—I am the master of the workhouse of the York Union . The deceasnd came into the workhouse about a quarter before ten o ' clock on Saturday evening . She was accompanied by Mr . Hodgsen , the relieving officer . The house was full , and the case being urgent I went to the chairman of the board , and arrangements were made by supplying a male pauper with money to get lodgings to make rocm for the deceased . She appeared to me to be intoxicated , and the relieving officer stated to me that she appeared to be in that state . I ordered her to be put to bed , thinking , that 'in the morning the effect of the liquor would be gone off , and that she would be better . She had neither meat nor drink on Saturday night . Two

      women slept in the same room with her , who directed to look after her . On Sunday morning I found her in the same state as on the previous eveni ng , and knowing then that it could not be from liquor I sent for Mr . Thomas , one of the surgeons to tbe Unioa . It appeared to mo as though she had taken something injurious , and I told the woman to bring her pockets to me . Oa examining the pocket I found a paper containing white powder , which I gave to Mr . Thomas , the medical officer . There were also in her pocket I 33 d in money , and four pawnbrokers' tickets . Mr . Thomas brought some medicine which he desired me to administer to her , and said if the first dose did not make her sick , I was to give her the other in twenty minutes or half an hour . I gave her the first dose which caused her to be at first sick

      and then quite stiff ; she turned up her eyes and her feet became quite cold , la consequence , I did not give her any more . She turned sfiff in about ten minutes after the medicine was given to her . In about half an hour Mr . Thomas came again , and I told him the effects his medicine had produced , and that I had not given her the second dose in consequence . He told me I had acted very properly , as be said he believed the woman was dying . I think he attended twice after that during the day . She continued ill all the day , and she died about three o ' clock this afternoon . A woman named Margaret

      Davies , eat up with her all last night . Mr . Thomas attended once to-day , between eleven and twelve o ' clock , but he said there was no chance for her living . She never was out of bed after she came in . The night she came in I asked her where her husband was , and she said " seek about . " That was all that was intelligible . I guessed her age for the purpose of filling up my book , to be thirty-five years . She was quite a stranger to me . The pocket and other articles which I now produce , are those found upon the deceased as I before described , aud also ft black leather pocket-book .

      Mr . Robert Hodgson deposed . —I am one of the relieving officers to to the York Poor Law Union . It was on the Tuesday or Wednesday in last week , that I first saw the deceased . She came with two children to the room wbich I use as my ojnod in Lendal , stating that she was ill , and that her husband had deserted her , leaving her with two children , and he taking one . The woman appeared to be delicate , but I was not altogether satisfied with her conduct . I thought it necessary to make some inquiry about her circumstances , and being still dissatisfied with the woman's profession of being ill-I afterwards fetched Mr . Thomas , the medical officer , to examine her in the room . He returned with me and examined her . He said tbat the woman was Dot well , but she did not appear so ill as she was professing to be . I gave her money to obtain her

      lodgings . She asked for relief . I gave her Is . 6 d . and recommeiided her to see if she ; could obtain lodgings in the Water-lane ; and if ishe informed Mr . Thomas where , he would attend her . I saw no more of her until Thursday afternoon , when she a « ain came to my office . She stated > that she wan obliged to leave her lodgings . I gavejher Is . 6 d . more , and advised her to obtain fresh lodgings . On the Friday forenoon she wag brought to my office again by Key , the policeman . Her conduct seemed very strange , and my first impression was that , she was not sober . She sat there for some considerable time , and I told her as I had relieved her on the previous day she could not want any thing then , and told her to be going . Oa getting upon her feet she

      had a 1 the appearances of a peron completely intoxicated ; she reeled very much . In the course of a minute or two a female brought tjie deceased ' s infant into my office again , and said the mother was not fit to take care of it , she haa nearly thrown it down in the street . I desired the woman to take charge of the infant , and let it have proper support . The deceased had taken her seat on Mr . Brearey ' s step , and a policeman was sent for t « remove her , which was done , and he took hor away . On the same afternoon I met the person who had the charge of the infant bringing ! it bjck to the mother ; the child was given to ; the mother . On Saturday I attended at the Guildhall to be present when the ohart » e vras preferred auamst

      the deceased before the magistrates . Mr . Chalk statedthat she was too unwell to be brought up . He recommended to the Lord Mayor that she should be discharged , and that we had better assist her on her way . In the afternoon I met with Kuy , and it , was agreed that he should obtain lodgings tor her until the Monday , and that 1 would pay the expanse Incurred in her support . I accompanied Key to the Station-house , and the woman appeared to have altered very much , and appeared scarcely in her reason thpn . I 8 tmt for Mr . Marshal ) , one ofth * medical officers . He saw her , and probably from a representation of my awn , he did not rer-ommend anything at the time . ! said that I thought she waa an imposter , and I thought that she had had drink .

      No medicine was ordered . She was Itben Wt at the station , I myself taking charge of the infant . Key said if I would take the infant , ! they would manage wuh the woman . At about nine o ' clook in the evening , I was Bern for to the police station . Mr . Chalk directed one of his meu to place the woman outside the door , she was uot a prisoner , and she should not remain longer there . I then had her put into a cab , and again sent for Mr . Marshall , who examined her whilst she was in the cab . He stated that the woman was extremely ill , but he saw no immediate danger . I then had the deceased driven in the cab to the workhouse , where I left her . The elder child went with the woman who took the

      infant on the Friday , and remained with tar until to-day , when I brought her to the workhouse . On Wednesday I asked the deceased the usual questions for filling up my application book , and she gave her name Mary Clegg , and said her husband had deserted her . She said that she had been at Hull , and that her husband had taken one child with him . She professed to have no home , and did not say what her husband was . She said she was a Lancashire woman , and if I remember right , she said that her husband was an Irishman . 1 don't recollect her age she gave , but it was under forty years I know . The deceased did not make any complaint about want .

      Mr . Richard Thomas deposed—I am one of the surgeons to the York Union . I saw the deceased first at Mr . Hodgson's office on Wednesday afternoon last . The woman , upon my examining her , appeared certainly to be somewhat ill , but not seriously so . She said she had been in Walmga-te and applied for some lodgings there , but was refused in consequence of her being ill . I told her I would give her some medicine upon her getting lodgings , and Mr . Hodgson gaveher money and desired her to apply in the Water-lanes for lodgings . ] I also told her when she had obtained lodgings to let me know and I would visit her . She came to cny house in about an hotir afterwards and paid she bad obtained lodgings in the First Water-lane , and I then gave

      her some medicine . She had not been long gone when she returned and told my servant to let me know that she had been turned out of her lodgings , and that she had obtained other lodgings in the Middle Water-lane . The deceased soon afterwards came again and told me she had been turned frem there also . I told her I could npt interfere and she must endjavour to obtain lodginss , but in the event of her not succeeding , she must apply again to Mr . Hodgson , the relieving officer . I also told her that if she would let me know when ? he got lodgings I would visit her . I never heard or saw her again till yesterday uaorDing , when I visited her . 1 was tent for to the workhouse . I came immediately , and knew her to be the same

      person . In consequence of the messenger telling me that it was supposed the woman had taken poison or something of that sort , I took some medicines with me . On coming to the workhouaa I found her in bed , and it appeared to me that she certainly had not taken any corrosive or narcotic poison , as there were no symptoms of that kind , but Mr . Grimshawe told me that the woman , on coming in , appeared to him to be intoxicated . Her appearance and her state generally led me to suppose that she was suffering from the effects of intoxication . Mr . Gi-imahawe also gave me some white stuff which he said bad been found in her pocket . I gave medicine to Mr . Grimsbawe to administer to the deceased . It was sulphate of zinc . I put it into a mug and

      desired him to add tix table spoonsful of water , and then to give ber one half . I expected that would operate aa an emetic . I did not expect jt to produce any other effect . If the whole had been given at once it would only have had the effect of increasing the vomiting a little . I did not expect that it would make her Btiff . or produce coldness at the extremities . The medicine was not calculated to produce such an effect ] as that . — On my second visit , within an hour afterwards , Mr . Grimshawe said he had not given the deceased the other half of the medicine in consequence of the effects which had followed the first , jl . told him ( and I am now of that opinion ) that under the circumstances he had acted quite right in withholding the other half . At the time I went in on my second visit the deceased was vomiting , and I examined the matter that was ejected , but I could not detect

      anything there like spirits . From that I became of opinion that she had not been intoxicated . I therefore cannot account for the state in which she was when she entered the workhon . se , that is , the apparent state of intoxication . I cannot state with any confidence the cause of death , but if I was to hazard au opinion I should Bay it arose from ( serous ) apoplexy , from inanition , that is general debility arising from the want of the necessaries of life . iThere were symptoms to indicate that disease , and ; there were also others that were wanting . If she had taken opium it would have had the contrary effect . The white stuff which Mr . Grimshawe gave [ me I ascertained to be merely sub-carbonate of soda , which is not injurious . It was common washing soda , which would only have produced burning at the stomach and retching , and that only in case it had been taken in a larae quantity .

      By a Juror—I could not have detected poison in the matter that was ejected by the deceased without analysing it , unless it had betn prussic acid . Tnere being no further evidence then ready , the inquest was adjourned until the following eveni ; i £ r , when Mr . Chalk , the superintendent of { police , and Charles Weadley , a policeman , were examined , and proved that the deceased had been found ; wandering in the streets of the city , and had been taken to the police station , where every attention was ' paid to her . Both of them thought her intoxicated , j Mr . Marshall , another of the medical officers of the Union , corroborated the evidence of Mr . Thomas , previously given . I Mr . Thomas was then further examined and said :

      I have made a post-mortem examination of the body of the deceased . On removing the skullcap I found that the vessels of the membranes of the brain were very much congested , and on taking out the brain there w&a a , considerable quantity of cerum at the base , viz , between three and four ounces . The latteral ventricles of the brain were quite tilled aud distended with a simi ar fluid . I also examined the abdomen and took out the stomach ; it contained a very small quantity of dark coloured fluid , which had a strong smell of wine . I had ordered her a small quantity of wivo on Sunday . Alljthe organs and the entire viscera in the body wer ' e in other respects quite healthy . I have no doubt the cause of death was the effusion of cerum on the brain ,

      which , by compression on tbe brain would produce apoplexy . In my opinion tbe disease had icome upon her very gradually . The peculiar breathing in case of serous apoplexy , and the lo < s of sensibility were very much wanting in the case , but the other symptoms were marked enough . A very frequent cause of tbe state which I found the brain to be in , is starvation and want , and it will very often arise from external injury . There was no evidence of external injury . I am quite of opinion that the long conutmued privation must have been the cause of that state of the brain . The state of apparent drunkenness whioh was exhibited on Friday and Saturday was occasioned in my opinion by the disease which , was going oa ia the brain , as I have described .

      The Coroner said , suppose the witness or any other medical man bad an opportunity of administering the proper medicines , and taking the proper care of her , did he think it probable tbat her life might have been saved t The witness replied there was a probability of it , but he did not think it was a possible base at all . I don't suppose the disease had any existence at all on the Wednesday , or if it had it was in so slight a measure that it was not to be detected . I think that the disease had been coming on for a ( very long period . I don't think that if she had been properly provided { for and attended even from Wednesday it would have prevented the disease and death at this moment . I was not sent for to the Workhouse on Saturday night , at all , that I am aware of .

      Mr . Brearey asked the witness that from the con gested appearance of the braia which ho had des cribed might it not have been produced by drunken ness !

      W . tiess—It wuuid havebeeu an exiling cause ; in would bring the predisposing cause more speedily into operation . . Mr . Brearey inquired if there had been a tendency to that predisposing cause in the-brain previously , aud if the deceased had been drank on Friday , would that have materially accelerated her death ! Witness—Doubtless it would . Three or four ounces of blood congested on the brain is a large quantity . , By the Coroner—I a * n of opinion that the aeces ^ ed died of serous apoplexy . Some other witness were examined , but they stated no new facts , and Mr . Wood , tbe coroner , summed up the evidence to the Jury at great length . , The Jury then consulted together for a few minutes , and returned the following verdict : —

      " Died by the risitatioa of Gad , to wit , seroug apoplexy , and ' wo thmk it right to express a hope that both Mr . Marshall , the surgeon , aud Mr . Hodgson , iho relieving officer , will be more attentive in tuture . And we arc of opinion that the police offic' -rs are deserving our cominendatlou for their kind and humane attention to the deceased . "

      Inquest on the body of the child . Immediately after the coucluaon of the above inquest , another was held by the same coroner at the Lord Nelson public house , Wa ! mt ; at ? » on view of tho body of James Ciegg , the infant son of the above

      woman . Mr . Hodgson was examined , and the former part of hid evidence merely related to the application raad « for relief by Mary Cieiw , his relieving her , and plac ' iiij the deceased under the care of Mrs . Daiby , of Wulmgate . He then further deposed—At noon on Sunday I received a message that the child was very ill , and I along with Mr . Short attended him immediately . I was not aware that the deceased was ill before . When the child was with the mother it cru d and appeared uneasy , but from tho manner in which shetreated it that is not to bv wondered at . The mother told me the deceased was three months old .

      Eiien Dalby , wife of James Dalby , labourer , deposed—I toot the deceased on Friday for a short time . I did not then perceive any ailineut ab ^ ut it except cold and the hooping cou ^ h . It . took the breast , which I gave i& . I returned it to the mother on Friday u'ght , at six o ' clock , and took it again on Saturday , about three m the afternoon , and continued to have charge of him until Monday morning , between one and two o ' clock , when it died . I washed him on Saturday nisht , and put him clean clothes on , as he was filthy . The deceased was very restless © n Saturday night , and I sat up with him ; he had a convulsion fie about ncin on Suuday . I sent for Hodgson aud Mr . Short , and they attended . By Mr . Short ' s , order the deceased had & little brandy and water to wet its lips with , which was applied accordingly . He was in a warm ba ^ h about three minutres by order of the surgeon . There was a succession of fUs until its death .

      By a Juror—I fetched eome medicine from Mr . Shore ' s about five o ' clock , which was siveu according to his direction . The first time I saw the child was on Friday , when he was near Sf . Dennis's church wall with his mother . Mr . Short , surgeon , deposed to the weak state in which he ftmnd the child , and the remedies which he directed to be applied . In his opinion it had died from the convulsions caused in all probability by irritation of the bowels from the change 01 'food and exposure to the cold . The Jury returned a verdiot of " Died of convulsions brought on by exposure to cold and irregularity of food . " So far the Coroner ' s Inquest . The Poor Law Guardians , however , took the matter op , and at their mcuing on Thursday , after the mattter had been introduced by the Chairman ,

      Mr . Oatea said that in consequence of the verdict of the jury commending the police for their conduct towards the deceased during the time she was in their custody , he thought it was nothing but right that Mr . Brings , the overseer of the parish of St . Sampson , should state to the board the condition ia whi « h he found the woman at tho Sfcatiou-house . Mr . Brig £ s then made a statement to the following purport . About seven o ' clock on Saturday evening , one of the police informed him that Mr . Chalk wanted him . He went immediately , and Mr . Chalk told him that he had a person in his custody who had b « en charged with being drunk on Friday near the post-office , and that she was acquitted by tha magistrates on Saturday at twelve o ' clock . She

      was ; hera . ore no longer a prisoner of bis , and he wanted to know what was to be done with ber . Mr . Chalk also stated that the relieving officer had been acquainted with the case , and ho had come down about two o ' olock , took away thu child , and said he would return soon after and attend to the woman . He had no * -, howtver , come down since , and the woman ~ was not drunk but seriously ill . Mr . Briggs went to the guardian , ana . stated to him in what condition the deceased was . He found her in the cell sitting on the floor , without a cap and without a shawl on her shoulders , sitting in the dirt and wet just as nature had relieved itself " . He and the guardian went to Mr . Hick , the churchwarden , because he ( Mr . Brigg ?) kae , w if she had uot

      proper attention paid her , they shouW have the same disgrace thrown upon them as was attempted in a ca .-e without WaJmgate Bar . He sborly afterwards sent his own yojiug man for the relieving officer , and when he returned t > aid that Mr . Hodgson was oat and would not be in till half-past nine o ' clock . An order was then written out and taken to the station house , and he requested a cab to be sent fjr to go to the workhouse . Whilst he was giving these instructions the relieving officer came into the station house , and he said the workhouse was 10 Jl . The police ( aa we understood ) took her by tho shoulders ard was putting her out , but Mr .. Biiggs saw sha could not use her lets : they were trailed after her . He told

      Mr . Hodgson to take her to the workhouse and try to get her in , and if he could not to try somewhere else . The relieving officer was pressing Mr . Marshall to attend to the case . Mr . Briggs said he did not wish to throw any disgrace upon Mr . Marshall , but he certainly did think he did not act with that energy which was required . - Mr . Briggs had seen the deceased before taken out of the coll , and his opinion was that she was not sensible ; she had the appearance of a person who was quite deranged , and when questioned could get no other answer than Mary , Ashton-under Lyne . He thought it a pity she should remain in the condition she was . Mr Kriggs saw her in the cab , saw her also pass his shop 10 go to the workhouse .

      Tha Chairman—What time did Mr . Marshall attend her 1 Mr . Briggs—It would be about ten minutes past nine o ' clock . Mr . R . Bell—Had he been there before 1 Mr . Briggs—I was not aware that he had been there before . Mr . Dewse—What time was it you found the deceased in the state you have mentioned 7 Mr . Briggs—Seven o ' clock on Saturday evening . Mr . Oates—You did not sea any bedding or rugs in the cell 1 Mr . Briggs—There was a sort of platform raised up ; I did not see tbe rugs ; I think it wa 3 a boarded flaor : there was no fire in the cell .

      Mr . Oates stated that it was about half-past eight on Saturday evening when he went with Mr . Brigga to the station-house . He gave a . siffiiJar account of the condition in which he found the deceased , and he thought it was disgraceful to thB policn to have a woman there in that situation . He had written at the bottom of the order admitting the deceased to the workhouse , that Mr . Hodgson had not attended to the case in consequence of what Gre-n had told him . Some sonversation' then took place , and , in the end .

      Mr . Pulleyn moved— " That the relieving officer be exonerated frem all blame in the matter . " Mr . R . Bell—Not altogether . He would be as lenient with him as possible , but thought Mr . Hodgson was misled . He was of opinion that Mr . Marshall was the most censurable , and Mr . Hodgson in a little degree . He , however , should not like to pass a vote of censure , but to negative the motion . The resolution was ultimately carried by fourteen to four . Mr . Hodgson , the relieving officer , observed that he should not let an event of this sort pass without deriving some important lessons from it ; and he promised that in future no effort should be wanting on his part for the proper discbarge of his duties .
