Several persons whom

      spoke on this wbject , all of ¦ expressed themselves favourable to the extension of that right . As this was conndered to be only a one sided view of tbe question , it was proposed to adjourn the discussion to the next evening , when it will be resumed ; and all sincere Whigs , Tories , and Kadicals may there have an opportunity of displaying their prowess , in advocating either side of the question . The large room up stairs , at the Labour and Health , Soutbgate , in this town , is engaged for that purpose . No smoking , quarrelling , or personalities are allowed dnrins the discusaon .

      Extract of a Letter from a Young Man to his fbie > ds at widsworth , near this Tow >' , prom the United States of America . — " De Bnyter , Madison County , Kew \ oik , July 17 th , 1838 . I am extremely well pleased with this country ; tbe soil is fertile , climate healthy , and productions abundant . 1 have been receiving , since tbe 1 st of May last , ten dollars or £ 2 per month , and board daring that time . I can scarcely convey to yon the satisfaction I felt on compariug tbe state of things in this country with those in England . It is a c-ommon remark here that there is more intelligence inthe people of tbe Unitt-d States than that of any other nation in tbe globe . 1 fully concur in

      this opinion . Tbe Yankees ar » - tbe true descendants of John Bull , inheriting all bis virtues , courage , magnanimity , and generosity , without bting degenerated in either person or mind . Stbtwled in all the variegated transactions in which cWl society have been engaged in modern times , they seem to have been taught by experience the practice of every thing . It is no uncommon thing to see one individual following tbe occupation of mechanic , farmer , merchant , priest , and lawyer , and apparently well able to" discbarge tbe duties belonging to tbe whole of them . The science of politics is well understood , being most frequently discussed amongst them ; and everv one seems conscious of hisheedom , and ibe

      source from whence it springs , as tbey are taught to Tindeistandsomething of the nature of different lorms of Government , and tbe principles on which natural rights are built , as it is the genius of some Governments to promote arid others to abridge . 1 beptopie of the United States art proud of their liberties , and justly so , as tbey stand ou the ground of equality , each one viewing bis neighbour's rights as part of hi ? own . Only ^ ompare this state of thing * with the state of things . in England . The institutions oi royalty , with aD overgrown aristocracy , who posses * nearly the-whole real ertates of ibc kingdom , and tbe tithe-taking clergy filching ¦ from tbe substance oi tbe husbandman , —the commercial , manufacturing ,

      and mercantile aristocracy that have caused tbe different branches * of productive industry to be so far fy » temized by partial legislation—by Acts of Parliament , that wealth so monopolized by a comparative few , and the common people are ground to the dust , so that their scanty pittance barely affords Fubsistence , and neither industry , mer it , nor talents are adequately rewarded . If the people of England could but once be made to taste tbe sweets of liberty , as tbey exist here , and tbe genius of that Government from whence tbey flow , tbey could be no more brought back again to tbe old English pystem , as they now exist , than tbey could persuade a

      republican that a monarchy was tbe best form of Government .- In these states every man is a patriot , and . every mother teaches her child to exult and triumph in ibe Gevernment of its country—its equal law ^ , and its home , and tbe institutions by which it is surrounded . Tbe united arm of the nation is tbe bulwark of freedom . The combined powers of Europe conld no more Bubjugate this free people than tbey could » lasb tbe otean or level tbe Andes . It is wonder nl to observe bow tbe eonsrfbnsxieFs of freedom invigorates the people , and prompt * to pleasurable feeling ? , by " exalting tbe mind and enlarging tbe understanding of a nation , by raising them in the scale of human beings . "

      Board of Guardians . —On Friday last , this Board " again mer for tbe dispatch of business , when twelve of tbe elected Guardians and four of tbe Es bjficiot were present . J . Waterbouse , Esq . was in the cba . r . Tbe clpik read over the minutes of the preceding meeting and five notices of marriage . - It was also announced by him that several letters bad been received from different architect * , wne required to be infoimed as to the particulars of the plan for a new workhouse ; all of which complained of tbe shortness of the time allowed for sending them in . After a few remarks bad been made , itwas decided to wait tbe Tesult of Monday last , as being tbe day fixed on for sending in plans for tbe

      workhouse 5 and should the Board i > e ul imately disappointed , by having only a few plans sent in or none-at all , it would then be before them to determine or to give a fortnight longer for that purpose . The clerk stated that be bad furnished the applicants with tbe necessary information they bad required . Mr . Pollard addressed tbe assistant overseers who were called before them on the subject of collecting tbe rates ; and in tbe course of his observations he enumerated tbe heavy duties which they had to perform under the new Act , arising out of the circumstance of baviug to attend so many different places , whereas nnder the old Act , they were residents amoDgst tbe rate-payers , which made

      it comparatively easy for them to make calls upon tb « m . He divided the rate-payers into three classes . The first class he observed , were those who were not only able to pay , but willing * , the second were able , but quite unwilling ; and the third , were the poor rate-payers , who , be believed , were quite as willing to pay as the first , but were not able to do so . Mr . P . afterwards suggested a plan to tbe assistant overseer ? , that they might act upon to prevent the necessity of them having to make second calls en tbe rate-payers , namely , by giving

      notice on what days they wouJd attend at a certain public-bouse , in such a place , for to receive tbe rates , and collect them half-yearly instead of quarterly . - Some altercation took place respecting this arrangement , on which a motion arose out of it that the clerk be appointed to write to tbe Poor Law Commissioners , in order to ascertain whether the Board bad the power to order tbe overseers to collect the rate twice a year . It was carried unanimougly . Mr . P . also put bis plan to the test of the meeting } on which not a band was held Dp against it . A memorial from the assistant overseers of the

      ont-tom ) Bhjp 8 was then presented to the Board . It asked to be pennitfr'd to have all summonses served by the constables , as tbe New Poor Law was very unpopular in some of tbe townships , which rendered it very dangerous to serve them . After the chairman had read tbe document , be assured die memorialists it eonld- Dot be done : on acconnt of tbe expense which wonld be incurred . Mr . Shaw , asisstant overseer of the Elland district , said , if he went to tlte top of Elland to serve a summons , be would have jo take a constable with him 5 and Mr . WomewltT , of tbe Sontbowram district , Btawd , that if he went into Hartkbe&d , he would require a constable with him . After some desultory remarks , tbe matter was dropped ; and the Board then separated into sections to examine applicants for relief .

Mr . Samuel Farrarwa * railed to the chair ; and the accounts which amounted to £ 48 . 5 s . 2 d ., were passed without opposition . Mr .

      A Tetje "Britoner . *'—A hand-loom weaver , who resides near Hebden Bridge , and who passe * for a . half-witted man , happened some time ago to carry in Wb work after the appointed hour for taking in goods ; and the following dialogue passed between him and his master : William , you are come too late . —William , I wa ? too late when I was born ; and 1 ^ have never yet been able to come up . —Master , ; I'll jj ot take in your piece to-day . —William , I feel no concern about your taking in my workbut I

      , must have some money . —Master , I caunot pay any money without taking in the goods . —William , en bearing this , threw down his bag , and placing himself in the attitude of John Bull in a rage , or , as Tom Crib would say , in good style , said , I have fought for my King and my country , and I will fight for my wages , and just now too , if you do not give ' them up . —The master , not liking the weaver ' s conditions , broke in bis general rule , took in Lis work , aod paid him .

      Borough Registration . — The overseers ' list of voters foT this boiongb contains 981 names , oi whic-b 919 were in the townshi p of Halifax , 21 iu Southowram , and 41 in Kortbowram- Last year ' s list , before tbe revigion , contained 1043 names , of which 9 / 5 were in Halifax , 26 in Southowram , and 42 in Northowram . Tbe difference appears to be 62 , which is said to have arisen partly from their being fewer names in duplicate , where the parties have two qualifications , hut have not thought it necessary to be entered twice , and that certaiu nonresident Tories have given up certain qualifications that tbey do not think now necessary to hold .

      BRADFORD . BURGLARY . —On the night of Wednesday last , the house of Mr .

      Vestry Meeting . —On Friday last a meeting of the rate-payers was held in the vestry of the Parish Church , for the purpose of auditing and passing tbe constables' accounts ior the quarter ending the 31 st of July . Give it a Fair Trial . —We have been informed that a person named Jewell Riley , of this town , woolcoffiber , having a wife " and six children , made application to tbe Board of Guardians , last Friday , for relief under the following circumstances : —A son of his , about 20-years of age , caught cold by being in the water at the time of tbe flood a- this place , about seven months ago , and which was the cause of bis losing his si . ht . The loss ot this seven

      months' labour from the young man , and the enormous expense incurred on his account , they having pxpended in consequence tbereif about £ ^ 0 , has been tbe means of reducing the family to a state oi extreme indigence ; and also the young man being now in Hull under the care of a surgeon , and we are happy to state , recovering bis sight , thouuh at a weekly expense of about 14 s . to bis parents , they thought a little assistance from tbe parish fund would enable them to continue him at that olace ,

      until he was recovered . The man has been twenty years arate-payer . His e * naverage earnings , with the a « sistaiice of part of his family , are lb ' s . per w ei ; bebasa boy working at rhe coal-pit ? , averaging 4 s . per week , making a total of 20 s . per week , * from which , if we deduct the 14 s . above-named , we firjd they have Gs . per week to support i * even persons . We must also state that a da-aghterj agtd 17 , is now at home , subject to fits . Well , this was a . fair trial the result of which was , the applicant was ordered out of the room , and refused one farthing of relief .

      Serious Charge of Embezzlement . In our last week ' s police report , we had occasion to notice an abortive attempt to fix a paltry cbarge of embezzlement upon a poor than , mirier the Worsted Acts , in whose possession a couple of old pack sheets were accidentally found ; and we then snbmitted a few remarks respecting the iniquitous effects of these execrable enactments . The Inspectors it would seeni ) ashamed of the ' pack sbeet ' case , shifted tbe scene , and determined tu ' raise . their character for *» obler daring , ' at one fell swoop deared off almost the entire stock of spare yarn of a ivspf ctable manufacturer in the quiet and industrious village of Clayton . The inhabitants of this

      peacef ul vale have been shocked into general consternation at the dreadful havoc of this recent plot , and a considerable degree of anxiety was manifested for tbe result of the legal investigation which took place on Wednesday last , before John Hardy and H . W . Hird , Esqw . Mr . E . Hailstone ( assisted by the principal In ^ ppctor ) appeared in support of tbe charge , and Mr . Clarksos , solicitor , for tbe defendant . Josh . JVilcock , inspector , deposed that on Friday , tbe 17 th instant , be and another Inspector , accompanied by a constable , proceeded with , a warrant

      to search the house and premiges of John Hirst , who assisted them in the discharge of their auty ; that they went into tbe House , shop , and cellar , but be saw nothing to excite suspicion ; that thvy then searched a chamber , and found some yarn in a chest , and a quantity of loose weft of different counts in gome earthenware vessels ; and on asking Hirst to acconnt for it , be stated that he had bought it of a neighbour , J . Jowett , who had purchased part of it from Goodison& Go . of Bradford . Wilcock seized the articles , which he delivered into the hands of Briggs , the constable , of Clayton , who produced them and corroborated Wilcock's testimony .

      Mr . 7 \ Hammond , a partner in a firm of worsted spinners , swore that part of tbe yarn produced was of their manufacture , and that they had sold none either to Jowett or Hint . . On cross-examination , Wilcocli and Brigg 3 admitted that the articles were not concealed , and that nothing suspicion .- appeared about them ; but that different sorts were intermixed contrary to tbe r ^ gater course of trade with manufacturers generally , but that it was no uncommon drenmstance with small piece makers . Briggs further , but reluctantly admitted , that tbe goods seized had been compared with yarn in Jowett ' s possession , and some of which were found to correspond . Mt . Hammond

      acknowledged that be only could identify the yarn pointed out as being of his spinning by alittle bit of c . / lonred thread attached to one or two lota ; and on being closely pressed would not positively swear to it . Mr . Clabkmw addressed the Bench in exculpation of the cbarge sought to be fixed upon tbe defendant , of a nature so serious , but yet upon the slightest -whisper of suspicion , easy to gain credence and extremely difficult to meet ; and drew their worship ' s attention to the fact ef great part of the yarn , on comparison with Jbwetfs , being found to correspond 'Witt , the straight-forward account given by the defendant ; and adverted to tbe imposing evidence in chief of the witnesses for the prosecution ,

      which , when sifted to the bottom , diminished b <> considerably , that he scarcely thought there was any case against the defendant at all ; out would ^ pursue the investigation , as he would be able most distinctly to disprove the charge , and , by complying with the unreasonable requirement of tne Acts , satisfactorily account for every particle of yarn seized , and confidently trusted that the case would be dismissed . John Joweti , manufacturer , was then called , wbo proved that he had bought large quantities of yarn from respectable spinners , and bad sold different counts from 28 s . up to 44 s . to Hirst , and that the yarns produced were similar to those he had so sold . He produced invoices ^ of goods purchased by him , which , in comparison with Hirst ' s books of account , already established regular transactions between them for Beyeral years . Mr . C .

      said , he would , take . the liberty of exannng Mr . Geo . Ingbam , the Inspector-general , who seemed surprised to be required to jg ive evidence for the defence , and no doubt , Mt a little qneer on being unexpectedly placed in such a novel situation , and who , after a little alternate probing and fencing , was compelled to divulge the sequel of this troublesome and expensive inquiry , namely , that it had been represented that either Jowett or Hirst ( we could not distinctly catch the name ) had been suspected of illicit-dealings in Alapacha yarns , not one fibre of which description of wool appeared amongst the articles in question . -The magistrates immediately dismissed tbe complaint , after a very patient and candid bearing , to the gratification of the parties implicated , against whose characters and conduct not the slightest imputation could be raised , and to the appirent satisfaction of a numerons attendance of jieods and a crowded court .

Henry Christie , a respectable tradesman of this town , / as passing along Well Street , he observed a great crowd of people collected in the street ; upon his arrival at the place , he found two dogs ¦ fi ghting , onwhich , out of a sense of humanity , he stepped forward to endeavour , to separate them . Just at this time , Mr . Bakes , captain of the Charlies , rushed forward and seized Mr . Christie with one hand , and a boy , an apprentice to Mr ; Dean , joiner and cabinet-maker , with the other :

      dragged them to the jStation-house where hfi kept them as loug as he thought proper , and then turned them out , and afterwards summoned them to appear at the Court House , which tbty did on Wednesday . Mr . Christie was defended by Mr . Wagstaff . Mr . Bakes swwe that Mr . Chrwtle was encouraging the dog . « to fi ^ ht , and brought forward Mr . Shepherd to support him ; however , Mr . Shepherd would not swear to any such thing , and Mr . Broadbent , who appeared as evidence for the defendant , disproved Mr . Bakes' assertions , and the case was dismissed .

      Police Intrusion . —On the evening of Tuesday \ dst , a number of stone-masons in this town , met as is customary with them , at the house oi' Mr . Glover , the Bee Hive Inn , in Westgate , to transact the business of their Society , when about nine o ' clock in the eveniug , they were suddenly alarmed by the bursting opeu of the door of the room , and the entering ( to their utter astonishment ) of Captain Bakes ot the uignt patrple , his as « i ,-tahf , the notorious

      Moses s-ugden , &e . The men looked at one another with amazement , while the beaks , after eyeing them over , left the room , Sugden muttering something about secrecy , &c . Whether those gentleinen imagiued that the poor fellows were concocting some dreadful plot which should snake the earth to its centre and de-troy its equilibrium , it is not lor us to determine ; but we would recommend the inhabitants of th ; s town either to keep themselves above the cause of suspicion , or otherwise have strong doors .

      Night Police Again . —On the night of Tuesday last , a poor Irishman named 'ihomas Coultry , lodging in the Lees in this town , was arre .-ted by Moses Sugden , on a charge of being engaged iu an . .. affray , with the Charlies on the nig ht of Saturday last . It appeared on evidence that Cbultry hnd only been in the town one week , ana that h > had only engagedi the lodgings from which he was talst-n on the day" of his arrest , several of' the watchmen engaged in the affray were present notie of which however would swear to the caan , with the exception of ' Ssugden , whose oath was contradicted by the evidence adduced , and the man was disermrced .

      Fihe in Thornton Road .-- —About nine o ' clock on the nigh , of Saturday last , the inhabitants of this town were again disturbed by an alarming fire . The fire bell was rung , and the people were seen flocking from all quarters , making enquiries as to where the fire had taken place . In a little time it was ascertaint-d ! that it was the machine shop ol Messrs . Wm . and Matthew Allen , machine makers . The mill was left about halkpast seven in the evining , to all appearance quite safe . The engines were immediately dispatched to the p lace , but formnarely their assistance was noc required , the fire haiing been extinguished [ before their arrival . The originating cause of thi . w fire remains a mystery .

      The Grand Umted Order of the Golden Fleece . —^ On Monday last , the members of Abraham's Lodge , No . 6 , of this * order , held their anniversary at the bouse of Mr . Parish , the Fleece fnn , in this town , on which orpasiou a number of memhers sat down to an excellent dinner , after * h . ch the wires , &c . of the members took tea , all of which was served up in a style which reflected great credit on the worthy host and hostess . The conviviality of the evening was kept up until * a late hour , when the company separated , highly gratified with the enjoyment of the day . We understand the Society is in a very flourishing condition .

      TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR , Gentlemen , —^ On the 4 th instant there appeared in your Star , a letter , signed " a HuddersfielU 1 radesmau , " - con ' tai ' uing two distinct , allegations against me . _ The first , that two children who had been working in my mil , shewed the writer their bucks , which were shamefully marked and beaten by a huge strap ; and the second , that the said children along with others in my employment , were worked ten minutes per day more than the law allows , or cheated ten minutes daily . A letter nearly similar appeared in the Intelligencer , on the same day , with the same signature attached . On the 11 th iiist . I replied through the Jtitelligener-j to this anonymous

      somebody , Ciiliing upon him to come forward to substantiate the accusations hft has thus publicly made ; ami , Gentlemen , 1 have looked carefully through the columns ol the ' Star and Intelligencer , but the Hudderstield T ^ radesmaiij is lion est iiiueshis , nor can I find any communication on the sUbJHCt , either under an as .-amed or real name . I have : only to request you , Gt n * lemeu , to give up the name oi the antbiir , iu order that public and single-handed justice , for which you so strenuously contend , may be meted out to me , as well as the rest of the people of England ! 1 am , Gentlemen , < Your most obedient Servant ,

      WILLIAM CHAMBERS . P . S . A reply , by as early a post as comcniBnt to yourselvt-s , will oblige , W . C . [ We can assure Mr . Chambers that the letter in question was verified to us by a re-pectable individual , who , we hare no doubt , will-now see the the propriety of immediately avowing himself , and communicating with Mr . Chambers on the subject . We certainly think he ought to do so . — £ us . ]

      DEWSBDRV . New Poob Law . —— -Being somewhat recovered from the overpowering emotipp produced by tbe threatening appearance of the riflemen , and the menacing manoeuvres of the cavalry , —my knuckles being somewhat relieved of the tremendous pain occasioned by the blows of the sturdy police , and the acute smarting of the wounds inflicted by my venerable lathers in the ( Jospel ( the : \ Vesjeyan local preachers ) being somewhat abated , With some degree of composure , 1 sit to write a few painful but undeniable facts . I had intended to have written a lenctbeiied acconnt of the proceedings of the memorable 20 th , but knowing that your usual

      correspondent , whose veracity is unquestionable , will giye yon a faithful detail ; of the whole , and knowing that you like short communications , 1 shallpass over the madness of the rnagistrates , tbe atrocities of the p olice , and the inauman conduct of some of our fellow-townsmen , and confine myself to the barbarous conduct of those men whp call themselves the " messpiigei-s of peace to guilty nierj . " These are James the draper and ^ ossy the painter , eoncerning whom much might be said . For though I have been a Wesleyan many years , and consequently am familiar with every thing uncharitable and tyrannical , yet twpsuch bard-hearted , unrelenting tyrants I know not to live ., With these are linked , Johnny the and

      draper Jimmy the hatter , who , united , form the most accomplished party of despots that ever did or ever can exist . These men were special constables—sworn ip for a special purpose—to enforce a detested law , and il our throats were not wide enough , to receive-it , they Werei resolved to ID ?^ , t 2 em a Kttte- wider by the application of their shillelalis ; they went round the to Wn like monsters , insultiDg and driving the populace , who had gathered round ^^ ^ to seethe > soldiers ; and if at any timfe they conld give a person a severe blow with their staft thev failed not to do it . Josay was observed to knock down a young child three times , who could ?^ il ^ ^ wa JV and it appeared to be the intention ofall four to create

      a disturbance , in order that someof their fellow-townsmen mightbe arrested a sd secured by the police . These are the professed teachers of the peacefnl Gospel of Jesus Christ ; and perhaps ^ as early as next Sabbwh we Aall bear some ol them declaring with a sanctified look and 8 jl ^ ^ C * y \ i »« te , so shall itbe meted OI LVt « ; cX v l ^ shmi Mr . O'Connor tol d us what to do ; '' Let the grass grow btfore , their dpora . " Neither Jet Jossy paint a tub , nor bay a yard of tape of James or Johnny ^ nor even carry an old ha : for Jimmy s wife to bind ; but while b / their ^ disgusting hypocrisy they are courting the favour of the great , let us teach them that their livelihood is in a g vat measure dependant tpon the poor . If they will not serve us , let them starve .

Robert Johnson , the much respected resident priest of the town , and the zealous and active patron of the establishment . The children had a bountiful supply of tea and cakes ' , and -spent a cheerful evening , delighted with the notice of their kind friends and host .

      SEIGHLET . NEW Poor Law . —The first meeting of the Guardian . * , instead of the select vestry , took place on Wednesday week , in the Mechanics' Institute , with closed doors , and under a guard of constables , Which consequently prevented the proceedings from being made puWie . The meeting appeared to be a general muster of the whole body of officers connected with the union , comprising magistrates , guardians , relieving-officers , with constables to guard thtv doors , and a body of tools better selected for carrying a mean law into effect we never recollect seeing . The Guardians almost to a man are fellows

      who have just secured themselves , within these few years back , from a situation in the bastiles , and are not yet entirely out . of danger of falling into that situation again . . Yet , these very fellows who have themselves drunk the cup of poverty to its dreys , and have been raised by the sweat of the labouring class , to the enjoyment of the trifle they at present possess , with a spirit of meanness peculiar to upstart pride and ignorance , have basely come forward to give the finishing stamp to their characters by voJuntarily lending themselves as the slaves of Power and Co ., for the introduction of a law calculated to rob the poor of their last small right . But the person

      who cuts the most eminent appearance in the whole collection , is the mighty relieving officer of the Keighley di vision . This great character , who was dignified and very unworthily honoured with the title of King Richard Oastler's prince , was , only about a year ago , scouring the country in all directions , breathing death and destruction to the New Poor Law . Every meeting held within reasonable distance against that measure , was honoured with his presence , and its hustings made to resound with anathemas against the act ; asa rewardfor bis services he was placed b y the people in the situation of overseer , partly to prevent him falling into a state

      of actual destitution . As soon , however , as the introduction of the New Law began to be seriously talked about , and it was fully ascertained that the salary of the relieving officer would be something of an advance , a strange something came over him that could not be accounted for . The labouring class , Who before appeared to be the only people worth his notice , began to look gradually worse in his eyes , till at last they became so odious that be cut all connexion with them entirely , by confessing to the New Poor Law party , his sorrow and contrition for the foolish part he had taken in their behalf , in opposition to the very respectable and

      kind gentlemen of Keighley . A treaty was accordingly entered into betwixt them , that if he would only conform to their views by acting the part of . Judas in betraying the cause of the poor into their hands , they would reward him , not with thirtv pieces of silver , but with the situation of relievingofiicer . The affair was cordially accepted , with many thanks to their honours no doubt for their kindness ; and after innumerable plots and contrivances , in the shape of hole-and-corner meetings ,

      private interviews with magistrates , and ten thousand bows and compliments for favours bestowed , both sides at last realized their wishes , and he is now loaded with the blushing honours of bis new situation . Amongst the numerous solemn vows made by him against the new law , was one to the alarming effect that he would have the arms cut from his body , rather than submit to it . This promise like a great many more of his , we believe , he intended to evade , as we have seen him frequently since , if we mistake not , with both arms on as usual .

      Socialism . —rOn the eveningof Wednesday week , and the three following , four lectures on the above subject were delivered in the Radical Association room , by Mr , Rigby , from Leeds .

Unable to ohtaitt admittance that night , she sought it in the rnn rnine when she was saluted on her entrance by the goose

      which ber good lord dispatehed to meet her . The visit of the goose was returned by that of the sleeveboard , and hence arose a most amicable interchange of poker : ? , tongs , knives , forks , &c , which flew about the room as though suddenly endued with locomotive energies . In the contest the wife ' s lip was cat through , and one of the husband ' s fingers nearry severed . It is said that the tailor has promised'his vote in perpetuity to the Blues , on condition of their procuring him a divorce from the tea-drinking wife . ' ¦¦ ' ¦
