      SONG FOR THE MILLIONS . Br'R '^ ss . ' ye white slaTes cf old ^ England , beware Your dastard oppressors are fiendish and base ; Their spies are abroad , to betray and

      eusnare—To brinp you to ruin , to death , and disgrace . They are thirsting for blood , and impatient to spoil The prospects of freedom which all now t-. yjj ¦ They h 3 Te soldiers to crush you who live by your toil , Then beware of the infamous traitor and spy I Be Srm and unite , but be cautious in words , On jour prudence depends the success of your cause Ksmember , policemen have bludgeons and swords . And unjust proteciion from despotic laws . The pres 3 is corrnpt , and knaves they can find Who will perjure their souls , and swear truth Is a lie Then , producers of wealth , be not wilfully blind , But beware of the infamous traitor and spy ;

      Tis true that your sufferings are grievous and great , And death , from starvation , yen constantly fear ; While a prond , pampered priesibsod would tesch jon to wait For that comfort in heaven they rob you of here . "Tis true je are goaded by insult and wrong , But justice will come ; be united aid wise : The weak shall not ever be slaTes to the strong ; Then beware of the tyrants , their traitors , and Spies . ' Celestial freedom . ' the birthright of all , Inert in our bosoms , inhaled by our breath ; Tby spirit abhors both oppression and thrall , We still live in hope for thee even to death . Oh . ' let thy bright presence enliven or land :

      The free-born will despots and dungeons despise ; They will purge the fair earth from slavery ' s brand , And exterminate tyranis , aud traitors , and spies . ' BENVAillN ST 02 Z Manchester .

      morning . ( The order was prodnced and read . ) It was as follows : — "WhitehaJV June 17 thj 1842 . " Sib , —I am directed 'by Secretary Sir James Graham to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11 th inst ., with its inclosed aedical certificate , respecting Samuel Holberry , a prisoner in York Castle ; and to acquaint you that , under the circumstances therein stateOi Sir James Graham has felt warranted in adyising her Majesty to grant the prisoner a pardon , on conditioiTS . - . of his entering into a recognisance , himself in £ 200 , with two snreties , to be approved by the Visiting Ja ^ tices of York Castle , in £ 100 each , for his good benavit'i * for five years from this ' . date . * . ' I have , therefore , t « request that Bach recognisance , -when entered into , X ^ &y be transmitted to me ; and upon rsceipt therwf , her Majesty's warrant ; will be forwarded for the prVorier ' s liberatiqiu "

      It wa 3 signed by Mr . Phillipps , Under Secretary of State , and ' it * , waw ad \ Messed to Barnard Hague , Esq ., Visiting Magistrate of V ^ e Castle , York . There has not been i . order for his immediate discharge . !¦ * Cross-examined by 3 tfK Leeman—^ 1 do not know of any order of the Msr ^ n ' oiNomanby ' s , in Septeaiber last , relating to tb » t ^ ceaBe d . I do not know the loason of his being sent- h > ™ from Northallerton ; but 1 believe it was in consegae nce of bis bad state 61 health . I do not know how it •« a 8 » unless I read it in the newspaper , or from having Ik wd the masistratea talk abuut it I do not recollect ee oing an order upon the subject . When he was ' here fir * . or six months , he

      appeared quite well . It is Henry JPeA > s < the schoolmaster ' s ) duty to read all the letter x . mt out ^ v tDe prisoners . [ Several letters from He *** , ry were here handed to the witness ] There isnodo # 4 but this letter has been written either by the dec 6 * s * ' or by his o ders . I believe it to be the deceased ' s wyfiU , " * Loc ? king at this letter ,. 'I cannot say whtther he ^ rv ¦ " ' -T ^ 11 or not when it was written . This letter musth ^» passed either through the schoolmaster ' s or my hanc ^ ? ^ * lieve this letter to be written by him . I have r »> A oubt ! that this letter is his writing ( alluding to the third S ** t sr This is also in his baud-writing : I thibk I have ftok ne recollection of siting the last letter when it was stai . * out

      Mr . Leeman then requested that the letters might fee read , which was done by the Coroner , and they are as follows : — York Castle , April , 1 , 1842 . Dear Burley , —I haying received no answer to my lait ' I am afraid you never received it . I feel anxious to know if you have heard from Mr . Duncombo . When ha mentions my case in the House , cut the extract out of the newspapers and forward to me . I aiu rather better than I have been . I have been looking for some news from you all the week ; write on Sunday . Sir , I wish you would send me a stick of Spanish juice for my cough : it troubles me so at nights that I cannot sleep . I am Borry to inform you that iriy dear -wife is very poorly . Give my respects to all frieiids , accept the same yourself , from your well wisher , Samuel Holiierry . Hospital , York Castle , April 30 th , 1842 .

      My dear FaiESD , —I am sorry to inform you that I am nobetttr ; I am reduced to a skeleton , and if no alteration takes place for the better , I shall soon not be able to crawl . My appetite is very bad , and the little ftiod I take I cannot digest iwitbout the assistance of medicine , and then only with pain and difficulty . Yon perbapB will be surprised to hqar that the Castle is a worse place for a man in sickness than the House of Correction at Nortballerton . AVheii I was ill there , I had such food allowed " as I could eat , but bore the case is different , and if a man ' s stomach cannot tuke the food allowed , be must go without . You will not won'le . - at me being so much debilitated , when I tell you that I can take no portion of the food allowed for dinner , excepting a few potatoes ; and you perhaps are

      aware , that it is not every day we get them . A bit of brtacl and a sup of what in the Castle iu called tea , is the only ( except a potato occasionally ) food I have taken for the last thTee -weeks . My eyes are sunken , in my hft&d , and could you see me you would think i had the jaundice . My friend , I feel too weak to say more . I shall be glad to hear from you when convenient Sir , I write nothing but facts , and you have 710 occasion to be afraid of making use of my words ; when they have said all they can of me , they can neither call me a liar or a felon . Give my respects to all friends , accept the same yourself , from yours truly , Samuel Holherry . To E . Burley . 19 , Bilton-street , Lsiyerthorpe , York .

      Hospital , Castle , May , 10 th , 1 S 42 . My dear Friend , —I did not receive yours of the 10 th till the lfitb . I should have answered it soont-r , but the surgeons ha 1 been raising an eruption on my side , "which was so painful and run such quantities of corruption , that I have be ; n for three days * and could i ; ot stoop ; but neither the eruption , the blisters , nor anything else that I have taken inwardly or applied outwardly , has done me any good . The fact is , i I believe the lun ^ s are affected . I am worse now than ever I was at Northallerton , and far more reduced . I am so badly troubled with dy ^ pepsy * .-thnt * I cinnct digest the little , food I eat without the assiitance of med-cines ; but its no use me troubling ' . you with . ' complaint ' s , or I could fill this letter with them . When you see Mr . Crowther

      give my compliments to him , and tell him I am oMiged to him for the stamps ho sent me . You c : in t * ll him the reason I did not answer his note . D .-ar fribnd . I want to borrow a feather pillow ( if any of our friends has one to spare ) till I get better . I ¦ would bave sent for one from hopie . but the carriage costs so much , but I hope the Convention has made some arrangement for the wives and fumilies , and not left thorn destitute , as they have been for months past . Sir , I urn almost lost for the want of something , when the fever is on me eo strong I drink Mich a quantity of water that I feel it iloss me harm . I wish you would bo so kind as send me sixpenny worth of oranges . I will repay you as soon as 1 get some money . I cannot write more at present . Let me hear from you when convenient . Give my respects to all friends , accept the same yourself , from

      Your ' s , truly , Samuel Holberry . To Mr . E . Burley . ' Hospital * . Castle , May 28 th , 1842 . My dear Burley , —I received your kind letter , and the one from niy . dear wife ; likewise the orangrs and pillow . Tell tht ? gentleman who lent it me , I am very much obliged to him . Accept my thanks for the oranges , and give my respects to Mrs . Buvley , and tell ht-r 1 am obliged to her for the acid dropa , thouch I I'S ' . vu nut Rot Itavo to have them . yet . York Castle is a q'ie-r place for a sick man . I wish 1 was back in M' -r ! h ^! ierton hospital ( hospital mind ) til i Ket batter Thtre I had everything that a reaswiia le man could Tvonire , coi'ked l < y females , and done as it ouaht it be .

      York Castle * For some weeks after hs went into the hospital his diet continued the same , but his digestion became so very much disordered that we were obliged frequently to vary hii diet according to circumstances . On more than oce occasion , he has complained to me that his mutton chops or hecks of mutton were too fat , and I have several times ordered other pieces of mutton ^ flucb as legs , to be got for him . Ott the 16 th of May , he was ordered to have milk ni ght and morning instead of tea by his own particular desire . On the 6 th of Jurie s he was ordered to have light pudding every day , and there were particular directions given that it should contain eggs and milk along with the flour . Ou account of his digestion being so precarious , a frying pan and other implements < were procured , in order that he inighit cook bits of meat , and alter things as he liked them ; a thins that has never been done sinco

      I was connected with the prison , which has now been for 18 years . Oh various occasions he has had little things provided for him which were not entered upon the journal , varying from milk to tea and tea to ntflfc , according to circumstances . On several occasions I have requested him to name anything which he thought was likely to agree with him better than the things he has had . He requested on one occasion to have the mutton cat frpai a leg , which was done . He was always accommodated according to his wish . I believe that all the directions I gave were complied with by the gaoler , as he was always seen once cr twice a day , either by myself or Mr . Champney . since bo-was in the hospital . Our attention waa particularly drawn toHolberry ' s c . ise from the commencement , owing to a communication from the Secretary of State , requesting the medical attendant to send certificates from time t > time of his health , to the home office . ThesecertiOe&tes

      were sent . During the winter , when bis health was so well , they were not so frequently sent as at the commencement , or since . On the 7 th of June . Mr . Cbampney gavemsa certflcate to give to Capt . Wlilianis , who was expected in York in two days , and this is a copy . It states that ' . 'Samuel Holberry , the Chartist prisoner , is suffering from severe pain in the left side , the effect o ( chroiilo inflimmation of the left lobe of the liver , extending to tho stomach , and perhaps the colon , which from his having had former attacks , I believe to-be organic disease . His digestion Is very bad , and he is very weak . I consider him to be in great danger . I am of opinion that his symptoms have increased , iind 1 ^ is general health has been impaired of lute-by the 1 ^ -gth of confinement , and the great anxiety of mind he kwb ' arstphave suffered since bis long imprisonment "

I < eeman—I have not a copy of any other certificate Jsent to'the Secretary of State bofore the one of the 7 th of a Qne - Others were niade - l am almost confident , at certa ' perioda I think ( luring th « 3 first two months of his bb : * n « here three or four cevtiflcates were sent , but I canno s ^ P ^^ confidently as to the dates . When he got better ' did not continue tb / report so regularly . I cannot ex lctIy state when the one previous to the 7 th of June was sent . I cannot state whether one was sent to tha Government durin ?

      May or April . I cannot state of v n J ow knowledge when one was sent previous to the ? tb of June . I believe they were sent , but I d © not t ecollect the time . He was sent into th « . hospital on the It th of April , anil I believe a report was then sent , but I cannot state positively of my own knowledge , The first time that I thousht he was dangerously ill , or hat' tMs chronic affection , was in April . We mi ^ ht have & ,. " «* some suspicion previously ; but on his going into tha hospital in April I more particularly examined his sidtf , < ind then I became of opinion that lie was affocted wil h iiiflammation of the left lobe of the liver .

      Mr . Leeman—On the 30 th of April wpuk " 'l tkia d « scribe his csndition ( quoting from one of the -deceased's letters )— " I am reduced to a skeleton . It ao alteration takes place for the better I shall soon not bo able to craw ) . My appetite is very bad , and the little diet I take I cannot digest without the a 3 S ' . stanc 3 ef medicine , and then only with paiii and difficultyVNo doubt at this time ho had becom 6 much "weaker , and his Bymptoms of disease had incr&ased . We should think at that tiuie that it was a dubious point -whtther he would recover or not . My impression most certainly was t' -. at he would . I could nut say on the lfith of April -whether he had the chronic affection or not , I do not recollect that I had any coliiiuuuication with the Secretary of State in the nmnths of March or April . There is no note of any in the book Ever after he went into the hospital he waa in a dubious state . I cannot swear positively that 1 recollect signing a memorial to the Secretary of State in the month of'April ,

      having reference to the deceased , but I rather think I did . I recollect two or three men , but who they were I know not , calling at my house in Stoncgate somf--time during the spring , I cannot really say whether the deceased Was in the hospital at the time or not . If he was it would be at the very commencement of bia going there . I recollect perfectly well stating to those men that until a very short period the de&sased had improved in health , and they need not be at all afraid of his being properly attended to in the Caatle , for that a certificate was regularly sent up to the Secretary of State , stating exactly how his health went oa . I do not recollect having any communication witli the Secretary of State after these men called . I cannot recollect ha . ving signed any ceriilicat * to the Secretary , of State .-after that until the 7 th of Juno . Probably Mr . Champney did . After the 3 i ) ih he gradually got worse . On the i ) th of June Captain Wiiliains visited York Castle .

      Mr . Leeman—I want to know how long before Captain Williams visittd York Castle did you Consider Holberry in danger ? I had no positive idea that he would not recover even up to the time of the ' certificate' being written ; nor had Mr . Champney . We thought that if be remained in the Castle it would go very bard with him , as that certificate states . It was only very shortly previous to the certificate being written that wo first formed the opinion that if he ' were * to continue in the Castle , undt-r the same degree < 'f incitement , it would go hard with

      him . I should think that , ev « n eupposinsj the restraint had been removed in April , he would not have got better . Supposing 1 . had ¦ been usk «<' , in April , witbi . u' . being acquiiinted -with the rebults -which have smcts happened , what would feavo been the btat uiea s to he adopted iu order to preserve this man ' s life , I should have said it was not ntcessaiyto discJjarve him from the Castle . On the 30 th of April his li ' fo was not in such a dubious istate as to render it nctcessary to give n certificate for his discharge from the Castle . At that time doubtless his Ufa was in a dubioun state .

      Mr , Leeman—Then I v > ant to know whether any return w . is made with respect to tbe ( iubinus state the man was in uom thu 30 th of April until tbe 7 th June ? That I do not know . I do not Know that iE is ascertainable ; I should think so . The reason why a special report wus made on the 7 th of Juno was becauso we thought him inuch worse . We . then knew th . at Captain Williams was coming down . We got to know only a day < t two before . He was not coming down , us far ai * my knowledge goes , about anything connected with this man . He came down for another special purpose , and the-management of the deceased had nothing to do witti it . I remember btiing asked to sign a medical : ceitrficate with . reference' to the deceased ;' * state of health i , y those persons who called upon me . I cannot give the date of this ,, but I think it was jasfc befure he was atnt to the hospital . The persona who called , v ^ presenh-d that it was ' 'en-account ' of Holbeirj's ill health tbat the

      memorial was about to be sent to the Sf cretary of State . I do not recollect having any coinmunicaiion with Mr . Hague respecting the prisontr up to the titUf of his going into the hoajitul . I have not the sligbttst recollection of mantioiiins the circuuistarice to any of the viaitini ? justices . I am not certain whether 1 visited the deceased in company witli Captain Will Jams or Mr . Hasue on the Thursday or Saturday . I saw him on these days . I cannot' state of any representation being made to the' government with regard to the state of this man ' s health , from the time of his going into the hospital until Captain WiUia . 'iis had been and inspected the prisons . I cannot sptak of any inquiry being madv from the Home St . crt-. tary to me between the ' 16 th of April and the 7 th <> f June . I did not know from Holberry that Parliament was . petitioned , in March on account of his . health , ' anil s . skiug the government to constnt to his ili ^ cha ' rge . t-recwlect -seeing aometliiiig respecting it in the re ^ spatiers , .

      Mr . ' . John Nofele , thn gover or of Yorl . Castle , who had returned from Waktfivld during . tba txaaiination of the previous witnesses , was next examined , t . b deposed ; I knew the deceased , who was a prisoner under sentence in thb Cabtie , and cawe in from Northallertonon the 21 st Svptember , 1841 . When ' -he . came in he looked very poorly , but got considerable better . He has been regularly attended by the medical efflCfcrs , The dimclion given by the medical cmcera have been regularly attended to , and my wife has occasionly sent him pudding , nnd be has had oranges .

      Cross-txamined by Mr * Leeman . —There was an order eame dowa from the Secretary of State's office , soon after the deceased came here from Northallerton , directing the medical officer , tu send reports frsfm time to time of the state of tbe deceased ' s health , and several were , I know , sent in consequence . I do not positively know whether any certificate waa sent between the 16 th of April , the time of his going into tho hospital , and that of the 7 ta of June . I think One was sent as I talked with Mr . Champney about it , but 1 eannot be

      certain . By a Juror- ^ Wben the deceased first came into the Castle he appeared a strong healthy man .. He looked yathet pala in the face , but did not complain . I saw no alter » tiou ia him up to-tbe . . time he was removed to Nor . thailerton . ThU being the whole of the evidence that was offered , Uje Cpiooer inquired of Mr . Leeman whether be wished tociH any witneaaea .

      They hail heard thut a ^ efcrtificate was written on tho 7 th of June , when he became -woise , which was given tivCdp . t ' ain" Williams , tUoiuspector of prisons , who had coinu down for some otLer oijtct .

Now . they Lad no evi ; ence to snow * whether any certificate was sent to , tbe home office between ' , these peiiotis , Wlitthtr such a . certificate was sent or not , Air .

      had stateU tl ; at ha believed one was sent out , but they tad no positive evicltuce upon the eulject . AnotUtr iiiip-rtivut irq'iiry was made of Mr .

The Coroner then proceeded to recapitulate the nioet iuipmant portions of the evidence , -commenting upon

      it aa he went on . He then said •—So that according to tbe evidence of Mr . Anderson , it appeared that even in April last had the deceased been removed it would not have saved his life . .
