To The Imperial Chartists.
TO THE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS .
Mt Beloved Fkiejds , —I make no doubt that I shall have a jjood dinner npon Christmas Day but the l > est sauce that conld be serred ^ p with it wonld be the assurance that the families of xny brother Chartists wlosreMir goffering Imprisonment for their principles , were also sure of a good dinner . I haTe appealed to you freqnentlj on behalf of the principles , and how can I at this season of-ihe year refrain from begging of you on behalf of those who are suffering from the advocacy of their principles Ihaiilie ^ naiiaa&l tribute Trill be a bumper-I have every reason to believe , because every man who Babscnbes his mife will feel assured that he will have more thaa a corresponding return presented in the advance of his principles . Bnt then , can we be said to love the principles if we neglect those whose
families are snSerhxg Irom . devotion to our caase Or can OUT . 3 , 500 , 000 signatures to 4 be National Petition be considered gennine , if not one in fifty of that number is prepared to back Ms signature with a penny to add to the comforts , or rather to the mere necessaries of their fellow creatures ! I recerre , daily , heartrending appeals from the Victim Fncd Committee on behalf of the sufferers , let us then , my friends , while we work for the principle , have a care of those who have suffered for it . There was a time when I wa 3 able to stand paymaster to the whole Tegiment of Chartists , and then I did the work myself ; bnt oppression , persecution , and your neglect of your own bnainess , has nearly dried the old cow np , and now I am compelled to appeal to yourselves to do your own easiness .
You will find by the address of the Executive , that we are about to ^ et to work in earnest , and to commence the year 3844 , with vigour and resolution , while I feel convinced that our exertions for the three months previous to the meeting of the Convention , will , if backed by yon , go far ± o realise oux hopes , and at all events present feuch a front fo corruption , as will convince our antagonists that , upon the next General Election , labonr-mnsi iave at least twenty undefiled and unpurchasable representatives of its own body to speak for it in the House of Commons . It is alt important ihat ^ the next Convention should settle the question of Chartism , by so nnequivocal an expresaon of our principles as will cat all chance of co-operation save npon those principles from the middle classes . Mr . Sturge may advocate his nameless project . AHwood may bluster about H 3 One Pound Notes : and Sharman Crawof
ford may ^ talk the still greater folly of withholding the supplies from Governments , whose yery existence depends upon majorities to Tote those supplies to themselves . The League may talk of cheap bread : but I tell you that Storgeism , Aitwoodism , Crawfordisni , and . Leaguisn ) , are one and all but sections of Capitalism , Free Tradeiyn , and Whiggisin ; and therefore I , for one , shall hold my-Belf altogether aloof from the agitation sought to be got up by those crotchet-mongers . It is no use for men to write tone about the practicability of Crawford ' s scheme , and other schemes ,, as a means of f ' ving increased vigour and freshness to Chartism , look vrith pity , if cot with Bnspieion and contempt , upon old birds who can be caught with such chafil I tell jou that there are not 100 men in all England possessing £ 5 , 080 each who woald not rather fight up to their knees in blood than see the Charter the law of the land .
Now , take that from me , and believe it for this reason , th&t their whole traffic is in your labour ; and they will preserve that traffic to their own use , behoof , and benefit , a 3 . long as they can . At one time they would ' uf . join us because we were physical-force Chartists—now they won't join us because we are not intellectual Chartists ; and let me tell you , thai they will never join us until they see that we are so organised that we xan beat them morally or physically ; and then they will join us . It is all nonsense , moonshine , and blarney to talk of labour ever gaining any advantage from the Advocacy ^> f those who . plunder-the labourer . "Why just think , all the agitation of those fellows now arises ont of the complaint that they can ' t make enough of profit npon labour , while iny constant
endeavour has been , and is , to take their knuckles on * of the poor man ' s throat . Just read the manner in which the Coal King ' s of Durham have treated their slaves , aad & = k yourselves what law compel * them to do so . See the admissions xhat landlord ' s and parsons are obliged to make relative to the condition of lie agricultural labourers , to which no argument but those burning words of Mr . Swing could have aroused them . See the fact of improved trade and diminish Ed wages , and here you have the whole of your grievances set before you at a simple view , . and I ask which of the master classes will join jonja any attempt to redress those grievances , and which of them is there that has no : a direct interest in their preservation ? Again , then , I tell ¦
yon—As well may the Jamb with the tiger unite The monse with the cat , or the l » ri with the kite . The Irish repealers have the same interest in the labour qaesaon that the English Chartists have . They are fast gaining wisdom and joining onr ranks , « Bfl to their co-operation we are to look as the invigorating power by which labour shall achieve a triumph over all its oppressors . Ever jour faithful friend , Fexbgvs O'Cossok .

THE EXECUTITE TO THE CHARTIST BODY . In compliance wiih the desire very generally expressed that the whole expence of the lecturing staff Bhoald be paid out of the General Fund we entirely concur ; sad should the amount of the [ National Tribute enable us to give effect to the . popular will , in this respect , we Bball most cheerfully comply : while It must be borne in mind that the lecturers will be engaged for three months , and that the Executive would be placed in an awkward position by the non-fulfilment of their pecuniary engagements . From the communications which we have
received from numerous localities , we are lead to the anticipation that we snail be enabled to carry our lecturing arrangements even to a-greater extent than we originally anticipated . Being mos ; anxious to incorporate onr Scotch brethren thoroughly within the nniop , we beg to remiad them that they have amongst them such men as Mr . John M'Crae , Mr . Andrew "W ardrop , and others whose serriees might be enlisted and engaged , by exchanging their services for those of their English brethren . We _ therefore invite the Chartists of Gi&E £ © w and district , « f Aberdeen and district , and © f Edinburgh and district to take the matter into their consideration and to comminnrate "wiih the General Secretary , whose address is * 243 i , Temple-Bar , London , upon the subject .
Those iowns having caro 3 which they have not disposed of during the : present quarter can by appli-« lir > n to the Secretary , as above , stating the number required , be supplied ; with printed slips rendering them available for the present quarter .

THE TYRANT MILLOCRATS . Th 2 continuation of the proceedings arising out of the atrocious BdSeld Factory Case , wil ) be read with much interest by our numerous readers . A press of matter prevents us giving a comment this week . The Hxhd Case Again . —At the H&chdale Sessions , on Monday last , the Her . itecnard Dnrnford , rector of Aliddieton , held a long consultation -with the Kochdale magistrates , Messrs . Wm . Cbadwic ' tt , Heurj KelsalL , and the Rev . Mr .

On Tuesday last , Mr .

The : BieinoTialisiDg ihe Secretary of State ( as stated in file Guardian of Wednesday ) has been abandoned . It is probable that the inhabitants of Middleton will call a public meeting on the subject as soon as the unfortunate and persecuted man arrives at home . Oxe of the Rcch 6 ale rural police , it is said , had a hand in the plotting of Taylor ' s case , and that it was done at Belfitld . Probably fhe Inspector of Wcrrfid , Mr .

YORKSHIRE . GAOL DELIVERY . ( Continued from our third Page . J Mr . WitKiiss then addressed the jury for the prisoner in an excellent speech . He stated that great credit was due to his learned friend Mr . Hall for the temperate and judicious manner in which , as on all other occasions , he had opened this case to the jury . Bnt notwithstanding the kindness of his learned friend , and notwithstanding his laudable attempt to keep out of his ( Mr . Wilkins ' s ) way every difficulty he could remove , the jury would be of opionion that the poor wretdfc , whose intests had been placed in his hands , laboured under extreme disadvantages , and had , as in the language of Mr . Hall , to meet one of the most formidable charggfc that can be brought against any man . Had it not been for the kindness
of his Lordship , who handed to him the depositions , he would not have been acquainted with the facts of this case , and it was not until early that morning that he received any intimation from the poor fellow himself , as a guide for him in conducting this case . He ( Mr . Wilkins ) asked for no sympathy at the hands of the jury , he was there in the discharge of his duty , and he could only be expected to discharge that duty according to the means which had been furnished to him by his client , bnt he did ask for every indulgence and for every sympathy to this poor prisoner , whose situation had rendered him
friendless , pennyless , despised , and rejected by ah who had heard of this case . He stood there to meet the most dreadful charge that can be brought against any man—that of having destroyed his own father . And sorely when they heard that charge , respect for their common : humanity would prompt them to look about for some extenuating circumstances in the case . He should be able to show , at any rate , that the prisoner - * ras much entitled to their pity , and that althongh his father might have unfortunately fallen from his hand , the crime itself did not appear without some extenuating circumstances , and some circumstances which would steal their
way to the hearts of the jury , and elicit from them a -desire that mercy -should be extended towards the prisoner . It appeared , from the simple history which the prisoner had laid before him , that at five years of age his mother died , leaving him and two other children to the care of his father . And surely if he might believe the story which the prisoner had told—k&nd there were circamstaaces in the case which justified him in so doing)—it would appear that he had experienced nothing from the hands of his father , but the most unmitigated and the most unceasing cruelty , and had experienced nothing from him but that which was calculated to provoke and irritate him ,-and not that affection which ought to characterise the conduct of a father towards his
child . For years the prisoner worked hard , and gained more then was sufficient for his own wants . His father abnsed his earnings , and at times reduced him almost to starvation . When the prisoner was sixteen years of age be earned I 83 . per week , and on one occasion not having tasted anything but water porridge for several weeks , " he received his own wages and determined , if possible , to get some meat for himself . "When ihe prisoner got home , the father took a large wooden rolling pia and beat him within an inch of his life , took from him his money , and then went out , locking the door after him . The neighbours having heard a noise went to the house to ascertain what was the matter , but the poor fellow could not answer but with his groans . The
father dragged him ont of bed , ill as he was , and compelled him to work far beyond the hour of midnight . On the following morning he escaped from his father and went to Wakefield , where he obtained employment and worked there for nearly three years , and then it was , as they wonldalready gather from the questions he had put to the witnesses , that it was thought the father had murdered him . The neighbours having heard the father beating him in a very cruel way , and he having subsequently disappeared , then h was that the neighbours , being prompted by hnmanity , « ansed the father to be apprehended , and to be taken before the magistrates . He declared his innocence of the crime , and by some means the boy was found at Wakefield . But such
I were the proofs of the father ' s cruelty that the ma-1 gistrates bonnd him over to keep the peace to his i own child . Shortly after this time , the prisoner , ! stni wishing if possible to gain the affections of his father , baing in good work he went to Wakefield , and got his lather some work in the shop where he was employed . On five different occasions the father spoiled bia pieces , and on every occasion the son : was called npon to make ^ ood the loss caused by : his parent ' s intemperance and carelessness . At last the prisoner could bear it po longer , and > . e en-I listed into the * 20 th regiment . Even there ' the father could not allow him to rest , and I he wrote letters to his son tempting him to desert , land at the instigation of the father he did
I desert . From that very moment the father used this ' circumstance as a cause for terror and extortion , compelling the son to work and toil for him , and whenever he cemplained the father invariably held \ this desertion in ierrorem over his head , and told him j that if he did not give him money he would inform ! against him . The prisoner got married , his wife proi duced children , and Bhe could not bear to see her [ children robbed to support the old man in his idle-; ness ; and hence arose that unusual litigation and j strife between the parties , which had been alluded [ to . On the day in question the fa . her went to the ; house , and the Jury would renaember that the prii Boner's wife went into a neighbour ' s house , the : father having threatened to take her life . The neigh-, bour went into the house , and there he found the ' old man in a perfect state of fnry , cursing and ' swearing , and n&ing the most vitaperatiye language . ! In the midst of that in came the husband , and , what was the statement the wife made to him I Why , she tells him that the father had been
threatening to take her life . The Ftory the prisoner had told him ( Mr . "Wilkins ) was this . He Baid that the wife had so repeatedly complained of the old man ' s idleness , and his having to support him in that idleness , and had so often resented his extortion , that the father had tempted the prisoner more than once to take her life . He had even carried i ; further , for he himself threatened to take her life , And he told the prisoner that he had got a razor for that purpose . The Learned Counsel made some remarks upon the evidence which had been adduced on the part of the prosecution , arguing that there was no premeditation on the part 01 the prisoner , and that the jury would be justified , under all the circumstances of the case , to reduce the crime of murder to that of manslaughter . He disclaimed any intention of justifying the offence , and concluded by saying , that if he succeeded in saving this unhappy man ' s life , he should think , at any rate , that he h * d not IWed in Tain .
The Learned Judge then minutely summed up , fuily Maiing the law as regards -tho crimes of mnrder and manslaughter , and showing that the using of mere words were not a sufficient provocation to rednce the crime of mnrder to manslaughter . The Jury then retired , and after a quarter of an hour , returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty . The prisoner said that many a person had been tried there who were innocent ot such crimes as his , and condemned to death , and the guilty parties been allowed to escapr . He conld not say that he was not guilty of doing tbi 3 , bnt he was not guilty of mnrder . He once bad a mothtr , three brothers , and a sister , who bad all come to their death frora the punishment his father had inflicted upon them , it
was a hard thing for him to undergo pnmshment on account of his father . He was a poor man , and he had a wife and two children , whom ke was now about to leave to the wide world , and bo home to go to . Some other of the family , if they had been living , might ba ^ e come to the same end . His children were about to be left fatherless , and -with , no one to instruct them . He was then standing before an earihly judge , bnt there was a day coming when we Bhall all have to come before the judgment seat of Christ , who knows who is guilty and who is not , and he should like his Lordship to take this fact into hiB consideration before he passed sentence , because he thought he was not guilty of murder . He had do persons to call 10 speak on his behalf , as it was out of their power to raise the money to Btate his case
before the jury . His irordBhip then assumed the black cap , and proceeded to pass sentence as follows : —Joseph Dobson , tou haTe been found guilty of the offence of wilful murder , committed on your own father , and I am sorry to say I cannot see any ground on which the Jury could possibly have come to any other conclusion . Yonr act sppeare to have been one of considerable deliberation , aa you had plenty of time to cool , and opportunity waa given job after you had once atte mpted to discharge the gun , but you repeated ihe thing , and effected your purpose . If you have entertained resentment towards yonr father for it
his conduct to your mother many yeara ago , rather shows that your act on this occMion was not the result of any sudden impulse arising in the mind : and an old animosity against yburfathercannot be any ground for believing the offence to be other than wilful murder . I have only one duty to Perform , and I cannot suggeBi aDy probability of the mercy ot thecrowu being extended to you , therefore , I would strongly recommend yon to make ubb oi the short time yon have to nmain in this world in considering what 10 all men is the most important concern , bnt to you the onlj concrm . It certainly is a sad thing to leave yvur n : ' - .. dchildren . IrieEolc-Ni m the Wvjldj

and this is one of those circumstances which must be a great enhancement of the mental sufferings which the prospect of fatal punishment must have produced already . It is one of the greatest miseries which attend criminal conduct , and one of those things which will assist in making your ease a warning to others . I can do no more than pass upon you the sentence which the law prescribes , and cannot encourage you to any hope of mercy in this world . The sentence of the Court therefore is , that you be taken to the place from whence you came , and from , thence to the place of execution , and that you be there banged by the neck until you be dead * and that your body be buried within the precincts of the prison in which you have been confined , and may God have morey on your soul . The prisoner then made another statement , in which he contradicted the evidence for the prosecution in a few particulars , and then retired from the . dock . ¦ - ' . '
His conduct during the trial was distinguished by considerable composure , and with the exception of a few sighs , he manifested very little disquietude .

Not long afterwards she beard pomeone open a drawer in the room beneath the one in which she was sleeping , which caused her to get up . She went to the staircase , and saw the figures of three men in the front room . She listened some time , when the men
came out of the room , and were proceeding np stairs , when Mrs . Hinds said " Whatever are you doing there ? " She saw the face of Deverdeus , wbo went by the name of " Jim Crow , " and when she spoke he blew a candle out which he was carrying . Mrs . Hinds called for assistance , and the men ran away . The boxes in the house were found to have been broken open , and the property mentioned in the indictment was missing . Miss Taylor had been at her sister ' s , who is married to a person named John Child , who , at that time , kept the Masons' Arms beer house in Lady-lane , and , in which house the whole of the prisoners had been in the course of the afternoon and evening .

The prisoner presented the pistol in hisface and said , "Deliver up your money , or you will die in a moment . " Prosecutor turned sharply round to avoid him , and the prisoner then struck him with the ircn over the hat , which was cut . Mr . Wilxius addressed the jury for the prisoner , contending that there was not sufficient proof of the prisoner ' s identity * and that this must belooked upon more as a lark than an intention to commit a robbery . —No t G uilty .
William Champion , 44 , was charged with haTing , on the 5 ih of October laBt , at Laughton-en-le-Mortben , stolen a mare , the property of Charles Hibberd . The prisoner pleaded Guilty , and handed in a document to the Judge , which was read by the Clerk . The production was of the most bombastic description , and excited the laughter of the Court .

BURGLARY AT LEEDS , John Child , 32 , was charged with having , on the 8 ih of July , at Leeds , committed a burglary in the dwelling-house of Robert Masscy , aad stolen therein a silver pint , a gold brooch , a jet brooch , a gold seal and key , a pinchbeck watch , a necklace , a brace of pistols , a large pistol , a number of silver spoons , and other articles , his property . Mr . Ellis and Mr . Hall were counsel for the prosecution ; Mr . Wilkins defended the prisoner . The prosecutor is a joiner and builder , and resides in Mark-lane , Leeds . At the time of the robbery his family were living at Oulton , and on the evening of the 8 th of July , about seven o ' clock , himself and his wife left homo to goto Oulton , leaving the house
in Leeds Fafely locked . On the following morning , it was found by Mrs . Bland , a neighbour of Massey ' s , that his house had been broken open and ransacked ,-upon which she sent for Mr . Massey , and on his arrival the property mentioned in the indictment was found to have been carried off . Information of the robbery was given to the police , but for some time no trace whatever of the robbery could be obtained , and it was not until the latter end of August that any clue could be got , when it was found that about the middle of July , the prisoner took a silver pint to the shop of Mr . Brown , engraver , in Cross Court , Briggate , and by his request he engraved thereupon the initials J . A . C . " When it was finished the pint waa sent home , and the prisoner paid sixpence for the engraving . The pint at that time had
the appearance of having had other initials obliterated on the handle . On the 15 th of July , the prisoner was proved to have taken this pint , which had then the initials * J . A . C ., " to the shop of Mr . Gresbam , in North-street , and offered it f * r sale , saying that it was hia own , and that tfwpnitials were those of hiB wife and himself . Mrv Joshua Etches , salesman to Mr . Gresham , bought ' the pint , giving the prisoner fifty shillings for it . He afterwards tcok some spoons , also marked " J . A . C , " to the same shop and offered them for sale also . These spoons were what are called " Fiddle Pattern , " and appeared to have been recently engraved . This pint was afterwards again sold and was put up to be run for as a prize at Beeston races when it was won by Mr . Bower , butcher , Kirkgate , and was then seen by Mr . Massey , who claimed it as bis , and gave information to the police , who

took possession of the pint , and submitted it to Mjc * Spreine , witcb-rnaker , in Boar-lane , who discovered that the initiaJs on the handle , whica bad bee . n all but obliterated , had been M W . B . A . " Chtld was at . that time in prison on another charge , and on the pint being shown to him , he said be bad had if in his possession for three months before Massey ' s robbery was committed , and that he bad drank , on different occasions , many a gallon of ale out of it . The prisoner '? house had been in the meantime searched , and a pinchbeck watch , and a variety of trinkets were found , which , as well as the pint , were spoken to by prosecutor and his wife , as similar to those which had been stolen from their house . The witnesses for the prosecution , most of whom had known the prisoner for several years , gave him a very excellent character .
Mr . Wilkins , for the defence , submitted that the identity of all the articles produced , except the silver pint , waa quite out of the question , and that even with regard to the manner in which that had been spoken to , it was insufficient to warrant them in saying that that cup was the property of the prosecutor . He also commented upon the fact of , the prisoner having , up to the time of this prosecution , borne an excellent character and submitted that his conduot throughout the transaction had been that neither of a thief nor a receiver of stolen goods . If the Jury were of opinion that the articles produced were the property of the
prosecutor , he thought they would feel that there was nothing to justify them in coming to the conclusion that the prisoner had committed this burglary . At all eventB , there was great doubt , and he was sure they would do what it was their duty to dp—give the prisoner the benefit of it . Two witnesses were : then called , who gave the prisoner a good character . The Learned Judge having summed up , the Jury retired , aud after au abaenoo of nearly two hours , returned a yerdiot of Not Guilty of the tbeft .

H' ^ tBMa' ^ € a- ^ EXTRA < yiHnNA . RY DIS GRACEFUL PROeEEDtNCte . We give the following speoiEaeas of the " workings" of the above "boon , " taken from the Cork papers . We regret that we cannot fiad room for the whole . i
Macroom jSkssions—FanttY , Dec . loth , At eleven o ' clock ( says the report ) the Chairman took up the registry of arms . There were 840 olaimants , but it was determined previously only to take up the applications of parties living in East and West Muskerry , ! which amounted to a hundred and twenty-eight , an ! d adjourn over the others to Skibbereen Sessions on the 22 nd , and the Bandon Sessions on the 29 th inst . After some unimportant cases had been disposed of , the name of James Callanan , Caranamadra . West Muskerry , who noticed for the registration of one gun , was called . ! Mr . R . Warren—I object to him upon what I conceive to be very good grounds ; but if I am required to give my reasons here , I will bold my tongue ; because j I don't want to set the people against me—Uotid laughter and great clamour ) .
Mr . O'Driscoll ( to applicant )—How do you support ( Great clamour on the bench ) . Mr . Warren—Well , then , I will state my objection—( here the speaker raised his voice to a towering pitch , and struck the bench with his clenched fist ) . It is because he is a Repealer —( laughter and confusion)—and a Repeal Warden—( great clamour ) and because he collected the Repeal Rent for O'Connell— ( great clamour all through the court ) . Here the Stipendiary asked the Sub-Inspector whether he knew anything of the man ' s character ; and the latter , in reply , stated him to be a sober and well-behaved man ; upon which Mr . Warren continued— , ' * 0 h , I know the man myself to be a person of most excellent character : 1 have no objection to him bnt the one I state . "
This objection of Mr . Warren's called up Mr . M . O'Leary—As a magistrate of this connty , and sitting on this bench , I must protest against this course —( Great clamour ) . I say it is a perfectly unconstitutional bourse to adopt towards any . man—( Renowed clamour—coughing , taking , and scraping of feet—on the bench ) . I say that you havo no right whatever to put such questions , and they are by no means a test by which to judge of a man ' s fitness or unfitness to keep | arms—( Uproar on the bench ) . This gentleman , waa supported by another magistiate , Mr . Jones , who ropo to address the meeting , when the following exhibition took . pla . ee : —
Mr . Jones—I ' gay that every man in the community has an undoubted right to express his political opinions in a fair and legitimate manner—( Cries of " Question , " " Npjspeechcs , " and great clamour on the bench ) . 1 say further , that every man should be presumed innocent until he ia found guilty —( Renewed interruptions and cries of" Question , " &o . ) But it is not just to visit any man with an indirect punishment for } a presumed offence —( clamour ) . When this Act was passing through the Legislature , it was grounded upon —( loud cries of " Question , question , " and " j We want no speeches ") . 1 have an undoubted right as a magistrate sitting here to speak my sentiments , jand 1 contend for it that I am keeping to the question—( riotous clamour amongst the mae ' stratee );
Mr . Nettles Umiust a din of the ' most riotous uproar)—I move that we adjourn—( " Hear , hear , " from the ether magistrates , mingled with cries of" I ? o , no , " and ' * Hear MrJJones ") . Mr . Jones appealed to the Chairman , who decided that he was in order , and had a right to speak . He again essayed to do so ; but was again vociferously interrupted . ¦ W . 6 . Browne—O , we want no Bpeeching here , we haven't time to listen to them . Mr . Nettles—Take the votes , Mr . Chairman , and announce the decision—( cries of " Poll , poll , " and awful uproar ) . \ The Barrister—You are perfectly in order ^ Mr . J ones— ( uproar )'; Mr . Nettles ( again interrupting Mr . Jones ) . —Take the totes , take the vote , " .
The Barrister- —Every magistrate has a right to state his opinions , and to be heard . —( clamour ) . Mr . Jones again essayed to speak amidst deafening , intermittent clamour . Mr . Warren irose a second tiire , declaring with much fervour , that this man's ( Callanan ' s ) gun should be takenfrom him , when the commission , of the peace was taken from noblemen and gentlemen for attending peaceable meetings . The report states that the speaker became much excited , his face scarlet , and his language and gesticulation most vehement . After some further noise and gesticulation , the application was } rejected , only three magistrates having voted for jit .
The next case , was disposed of with less tumult and equal reason . The claimant having been Sworn , was interrogated by Captain O'Driscoll—Are you a Repealer ! Have you taken any active part in the movement ! The claimant , by the advice of his agent , remaining silent— I Mr . O'Leary-4-I move that he be admitted . Mr . R . Warren—I move that he be rejected . Mr . Hedges—I second the amendment . Claim rejected .
We pass over a number of equally disgraceful scenes , for which we cannot find room , and conclude our extract with ; the following : — John M'Auliffe , Mill-street . Captain Wallis—I object here . Are you a Repeal Warden ? \ Claimant—I aim . Mr . R . Warren—Reject him . Mr . M . O'Leary—He has an excellent character . \ Claimant—Hear my character before you reject
me . , Mr . R . Warren—Others were rejected on the same grounds , and we cannot admit you . Captain Wallis—1 have no objection to his character further than 1 what I have stated . Mr . R . Warren—We cannot admit him . The certificate was refused . Tho claims that were admitted , were so after a very strong opposition , not to the characters of the applicants , but to their political opinions !
REPEAL ASSOCIATION , The usual weekly meeting was held on Monday ' in the Conciliation Hall . The meeting was but thinly attended . ! A long letter from Mr . O'Connell waB road by the Isecretary , and speeches were delivered by Dr . Nagle , ( chairman ) Sir Valentine Blake , Messrs . John O'Connell , O'Niel Daunt , Tom Steele , and others . The tent for the week amounted to £ 548 14 s . 2 d . I
