      To The People.

      TO THE PEOPLE .

      Mt deab Ihiekds , —Some little disappointment might probably be experienced by some of you at not hearing from me last week . I cannot help it . I was labouring in your cause harder than my emaciated oonstiintioQ ia well able to bear , or than injustice to myself it ought to bear . I addressed large and attentive audiences , and at threat lengths every ; evening ; but , as I last intimated to you , I am not now always master of my own powers . Hard labour , seycre study , and the keen harrassment andtortnre -of a thousand devilries , operating , for a long course of years , upon a constitution sot : naturally very strong , have done their work ; and have almost rendered me incapable of work . I am exceedingly desirous to perform what service I' may , while the

      opportunity remains to me . It may not , and in all probability will not , be long . I could sot write anything for you in last week ' s Star . Yon had your " portion of meat" served np by other hands . 1 know that you are anxious to hear from me again , to know how 1 " get on , " and to keep np that friendly intercourse which we have solongneld together through the colomn 3 of the Star ; and it certainly affords me no less pleasure to communicate with you . Secluded as 1 lavs been from you for years , J have seen bnt litSe of the people ; and was not sorry , therefore , to have this opportunity of getting once more among them . I find them the same people as I ( have ever done ; somewhat improved , it may be , in general intelligence , more especially on politics ;

      warmhearted , frank , and ingenuous ; ready to accord to the humblest merit its fall meed of praise ; and having still the national fanlt of ieing , perhaps , too powerfully wrought on by the last orator ] who speaks to them . There is , however , 1 am happy to perceive , a great step towards the correction of this eviL The people judge more freely , and think more independently than they were used to do ; and I rejoice to find it so . I regard it as an evidence that my labour has not been vain . 'Tis tbejvery disposition I have alwayB senght to induce among them . My efforts have tended eyer to this peint . I have Tegaxded it of first consegnence to free them from the trammels of leadership , and to induce them to use their own Judgment , asd direct their

      own affairs . I live only for them and their cause ; I know this to be requisite to the success of their cause ; and hence every advancement towards it affords me the sincerest pleasure . ; I left Leeds on I"riday , the 14 th inst ,, the anniversary of the destruction of the French B&stile ; a favourable omen , let me hope , of the destruction of that cursed moral Bastile , ia which have been so long immured the rights and liberties of Englishmen ; with all its physical adjuncts of prisons , workhouses , and red and blue coat bntcherSj for the enforcement of its fell regulations . I was glad to feel the sweet breezes , and enjoy the sjreei prospect which the open carriages afforded me . I arrived at Bdper just in time to find the people assembled , and anxiously expecting me . 1 find the cause here , as in most other places , to have suffered

      most severely from the mad freaks-of last August Belper was flourishing and is high spirits before then ? it has been drooping ever since . Despair seized on many ; fear on many © there ; coercion from the tyrant middle class seized upon the £ t moment , and has , ever since the strike , held the poor people in a state of villanage exceeding anything that 1 have ever heard of . In the whole eonrse of my reading and observation , I do not remember to have met with an instance of a people so thoroughly prostrated and unhnmanised aa are the working people of this town and neighbourhood , by the " Liberal" Corn LatvRepealing despots under vfhoxn they toil Theinstances of tyranny detailed to meby honest , sober , creditable men , of whose veracity there oould be no doubt , were literally fearful—^ noa gh to make one -wonder into what damned region one had been

      cast . The only room that conld be had for me was a large room appertaining to aa inn . It was filled with honest hearts and true ; many of whom beat with fearful apprehension of the consequences that might ensue from their being " reported" in the morning ; whila hundreds cast their longing looks ¦ who dare not enter , and hundreds more thought ¦ wistfully and anxiously who dare not even look An excellent spirit was manifested by those who hazarded the venture . I addressed them on the

      present condition of the country ; on its former state ; on its fature prospects , and on the means of egress from the slough of general destitntioii . Never were peopleanore attentive ; never dia audience stem more perfectly to / cel every word uttered , than whUe I depicted to them in too truthful terms their present state and future prospects . I recommended Union and Organization as the only ground of hope . They caught eagerly at it , and I have some hope again to see the " waste place" of Belper built ap * nd fortified . Under the guidance of Hi . Tickers , & sterling honest man—as 1 think—they had the good fortune to escase the trap last Angnst . Strong

      * 2 brts were made by a few fools to plunge them into the vortex ; but 'Tickers stood firm ; the people stood with him , and they were saved . It was , however , as I have said , laid hold of by the local authorities as a pretext by the local tyrants : they filled the town with military ; they pranced np and down the streetB , and vituperated rhe Chartists as thongh there had been someserious ontbreak ;_ and they have ever since laid a bar on Chartism which amounts almost to a surveillance of people ' s tnonghts . ? Tis fearful that such a state of slaving Ehonld he , any where ; but , while the system lasts , tinder -which it has ariseii , it will be commually gelling more HOr pndtnt and more

      oppressive-I left Belper on Salurday , for Longhborongh . Here I was prevented from travelling third class by a most impudent fraud ; a mere sharper s trick played off upon me by the agent of the Railway Company . 1 went to the booking-ofiice ; asked I for a thirdrclas 3 ticket , received a ticket and paid down the sum demanded , supposing it to be for third class ; when the train came in I was told that there were no ihird-dass carriage 3 attached to it , but that 1 shonld be " all right , " as mine was a second-class t ici et . Tfcere were third class to the next train , for which I wonld have waited , had I not been thns tricked . I have heard of similar tricks upon thiB line before ; and 1 state this fact for the cawon of other parties who may travel by the North Midland and Midland Consties Railway- ( .

      At Loughborongh , the people are in great poverty . And here as a . t Belper , the friends had difficulty in finding a roof to caver me . All the religious houses , larxe schoolrooms , theatre , and other public buildings were refused . The only place thai could be had was a place called the Unicorn room , the same that -was had for Mr . O'Connor at hiB last visit . This . for " a laxg « i 100 m , " is a very small room . O ' Connor spoke from the window to the people outside . ; I have a great objection to outside meetings , especially on Snndays ; and in the afternoon we / arammed the place with as many as could get in ; no . occubnt all

      pying any space with seats , making | stand . It was a regular hot-bath . I was glad to make a pause about the middle of my sermoa , and throw off my coat and handkerchief , and unbntton my waistcoat , that tho sweat might hare free course to run down . At night I conld not stand it . The " lads" were obliged to torn oat , sad J spoke from the window . Oa Monday evening , I addressed them on Organization , and other matters . Tbej are splendid fellows at Lon ^ hborough ; bnt a . little fiery ; and no wonder , when one looks ai their wretched poverty , '

      From Loughborough I went on Tuesday to Derby . Here the Theatre had been taken . It was justlat the close of the great Agricultural Meeting and Show ; "when the town load been like a conntry feix for the whole week—all the Btreets filled wit * booths of showmen and publicans , and all the ingenuity of ** civilized max . " resorted to , to glean up the pence . " Such a time was , of conrse , a bad one lcr a meeting ; many had not the means { of paying the small sum which the fr . ends charged Jto eli ^ x expences . But we bad a good meeting notwithstanding : the gallery well filled , bui not crowded with honest workies" ; while the pit contained a great number of middle class men ** mixed amoEjj" , of whom there were also a sprinkling in theboxe > . The ? bod advertised me to lecture on ihe Accordance of Chartism with Cnnsuanuy . The subject . seemed to excite much aueooen ; the audience was most attentive ; and the Inenos ea , y

      that the lecture has done our cause much good in removing prejudice . ¦ Oa Wednesday , I went to Nottingham ; here to thp great credit of the authorities , the people were allowed without difficulty the use of their own splendid hall , the Exchange Room . I was never jn a much imer room , and never saw a room better wedged with haman beings . I question if another could have been crammed in aoj how . How many ¦ went away 1 know not . Many middle class men werfc present . 1 spoke as great length , nearly three hours . Not a man flinched ; all were apparently as much interested at the close as at the beginniriK 1 was to be at Arnold the ntxt nighl . Several Arnold friends were present , and Irequested thai tfliy mighi have the same preachment . This becoming known a great many of the Nottingham ** lade " evinced their liking ot it by going next evening lour miles on foot to hear it over again .

      . "We had a most comfortable Tea Pariy at the Grey Hound Inn ; affcr which 1 edified the ** lads /' jn the Ranter ' s Chapel , which the trustees had fcindly lent them for the purpose . 1 had an escelle iil congregation , and preached a sermon as lonn * s that of-the night before . I met with one thing at Arnold that pleased me to the very soul : a sure evidence that daylight jb dawning in upon '' the wurkies . " The mck club have-drawn out their money from the savings' Bank

      and the Rag shops , and invested i ; in lana . Whole fields have been purchased and divided into small jgarden plots mecbj ; their members , lor vrhsch a light rental is paid to the olub . The advantages , of this , to the inslitniionB , are many . Their funds are secure . The baxx will sot ekeab ; THtIK MONEY WILL BE tt » £ l > ALWAYS Full THEIR BE ^ UIT AND NOT F OR THEIR OPPRESSION ; their Jnnds pay beiier interest than before ; while they de ^ va individually a great advantage fiom this application of them . Thus

      are they better able to pay their contributions than they would be if the money were banked with Government fox their oppression , as before ; anq this hanking"of it ! in mother earth , by the additional interest ! it pays , gives a drawback to each member of some posed a year already , which wilJ , of coarse , increase as their fnnds accuiiM * te and they arquire more land . This iB glorionl ^ si beginning of good things 1 X ) 1 it did my heart good to walkover those gardens and to see the savings of the poor man thus -sensibly disposed of . All honour to the Arnold sick clubs I Let all clubs follow their example . ;

      Oa Friday , I made my way to Sutton-in- Ashfield . The day fixed fir this town was the worst , that could have been fixed . The whole year mighthave beengone over for the selection ; and I could not have hit Upon another day on whioh it was so unlikely to get up a meeting . On Friday evening the poor stockingers are always hard up ] f' finishing their vfeeVs work , which most be in on Saturday morning ; working very late ; and having neither an hour nor a penny to spare for anything . This was Friday evening , and it was the Friday evening before the "feast . " The lads were sadly ' f off" at my coming on this evening ; they would fain have had some other ; bui it could not be . ] We cannot always command cironntBtanceB : Borne place must have that identical

      evening , and it fell to the Sntton men ' s share . They made the best of it ; { and we had a good meeting . Chapels , school-rooms , and public buildings of all sorts were as usual closed against us , and there would have been so alternative but open air speak ingi had sot a player-showman had more Christian feeling in him than all the parsons . He had erected a large pavilion for his exhibition daring the feast week ; and with great cheerfulness gave the' friends the use of it for my preachment ; and bad a night as it was we had it well filled . I had much pleasure inhere meeting the Rev . Mr . Linwood , Unitarian Minister , of Mansfield , about three miles from Sutton ; a talented and most gentlemanly man , who 1 learn has . during his

      residence in Mansfield , deserved the thanks of all good men by an unflinching assertion of the rights of the poor . Mr . Linwood ' a pulpit and chapel are what palpita and chapels ought to be ; the media of expression for God's law—the law of right ; and he sets the praiseworthy example to his order of denouncing class legislation as a moral wrong and as anti-Christian and unscriptural . The friends had requested Mr . Linwood to take the chaif , and he at . once assented . I speechified for more than two hoars , and at th « close , proposed a vote of thanks to the kind player for the nse of his pavilion , in doing -which I paid some well-merited compliments to the pioos gentlemen in black , who had refused us their chapels . Mr . Linwood left the

      chair for the purpose of seconding my resolution ; and thongh I thought I had tolerably lashed the hypocrites , my scourging was a whip of small cords to which he added scorpions . 1 afterwards learned that some of them was there . 1 hope the admonition they received will profit them . The Belper men had followed me to Deriy , and I could not get over their importunities . Visit them again on Sunday I mast ; and so I had nothing for it but to take liberties were I can . My own dear Hull people were left in the lurch , as they have often been , while 1 went abroad . I knew they would not say astray . " They love me too well to prevent my doing all the good 1 can ; and as there seemed to be some prospect of good at Belper , I went there

      instead of to Hull . I preached twice in the lodge room at the Leopard Inn , and left the people , having received from them a promise that they would meet on Monday night and reorganise for the renewal of their struggle in the holy war . Monday evening I addressed the men of Sheffield ; found them as usual , firm , earnest , ardent , iand determined . There is no nonsense about Sheffield . They are men of the right sort . The Town Hall had been refused us , and the "lads" were compelled to put me into their own room , in Pig Tree-lane . They have bad it tastefully beautified since I was there . It is now a very handsome room ; bnt rather wanting in size . However they made a hot bath of it and I was glad to strip again . Many too , especially females , finding

      the heat overcoming were compelled to " get out " before I had done , whioh was not till near eleven o'clock . I was in ill health , and once or twice obliged , from Bheer exhaustion , to sit down abruptly and take a few moments to regain strength and compose the throbbing of my poor head which was almost splitting . However I went through my work , and the people bore with me and thanked me 1 have now had a day or two ' s rest , aud shall have another or two before Bhaking th « warm hands of my Scotch , friends , with whom I hope to be next week . To prevent all' disappointment , let me here state the places in Scotland to which I am invited , and at which ( D . V . ) i I purpose speaking—Leifcb , Edinburgh , Aberdeen , Montrose , Arbroath , Dundee ,

      Glasgow , Paisley , Greenock , Hamilton and Campsie . Of these the five lie in a sort of cluster ; while the six former are mostly wide , of these and of each other I am desirous to economise my travelling expences . as I think every man should be who travels at the people ' s cost ; and I have therefore laid out my routes in "lines" as much as may be . I suppose I shall reach Leith on Thursday sometime , from then to Monday ni ^ ht I give myself to Leith and Edinburgh ; Tuesday I take steam ship for Aberdeen ; Wednesday I attend the festival at Aberdeen ; Thursday I preach there ; Friday I take steam boat to Montrose , and give them Friday evening ; thence on Saturday to Arbroath where 1 speechify at

      night ; and take the rail on Sunday morning for Dundee , so as to preach twice , if need be , to my Dundee friends on Sunday . I stay Monday over , and speak on Monday evening in Dundee , or any place in that neighbourhood , in which my services may be required . I take steam-ship on Tuesday for Edinburgh , and thence go by rail to Glasgow ; so that on Wednesday , the 16 th , if all be well , I shall be ready to address my Glasgow friends ; on Thursday , the 17 tb , Hamilton ; on Friday , the 18 th , Campsie ; Saturday and Sunday , I shall spend in Glasgow . Tnesday , the 22 nd , I give to Paisley ; Wednesday , the 23 rd ^ to Greenook ; whence I return by water to Carlisle ; thence to Newcastle ; Sunderland , and Shields ; and-so , home .

      Thus , I shall not be idle in my recreation . In * deed , I cannot be idle . I live to work , and most do so while I can . I have great hope that this " out" -will recruit me ; and strengthen , though not restore , my physical energies . I shall keep writing for you , more or less , as I can , during the whole time . I shall not be satisfied with mere speaking as I go along ; hut try also to write something in the way of continuing that counsel I have so long held with you . ; One word as to the -Delegate Meeting : I think September quite as soon as you can have a National Delegate Meeting to do any good . My heart and soul are wrapped np in this re-Organization ; and I implore you not to hurry it . Do not again damage your cause as yon have often done before , by inconsiderate haste . Take time ; take time ; things done in Haste are seldom done well ; and this is a thing of such consequence , that 'twere better left nndone than done ilL

CKerend defended Spenoor , Wilkinson , Meek , and Martin ; the prisoner Hirst was undefended . Mr . Bliss stated the case . The prosecutor is a farmer , and resides at a place called Black House Farm , which , is situate ia the parish of Huddersfield . On Thursday , the 30 th of March , prosecutor retired to j rest about ten o ' clock , leaving his housekeeper up ; but had previously made all the windows and doors secure . She went to bed about twelve o ' clock . ; . Prosecutor had been in bed above two hours , when he was disturbed by hearing a loud noise , and perceived a flash of light in front of the house . He soon after heard some one attempting to break tho front door open , and taking a gun in his hand , proceeded down stairs to the door , and called oat , What < lo you want here ; " and a person replied , * ' What do you mean by that . " Directly

      after the door was burst open , and six or seven men rushed into the house . Three of them seized prosecutor by the throat , and then threw him down on the floor , and held him . The housekeeper was laid hold of by other two of the party and threatened if she made any noise they would murder her . The remainder of the party then went up stairs iato the prosecutor ' s bed-room , in whioh was a large oak chest . It was fastened with a chain and locks , and contained property to the amount pf £ 1 , 100 . The lid was forced open and the money taken out . The men then came ' down stairs and said to the others " all is right . ' ^ They then all lef ti the house , and after prosecutor recovered his consciousness he went to the house of a neighbour and stated to him what had happened ; Prosecutor afterwards returned home , aocoopabied by his neighbour , and they went upstairs to make an examination , and discovered that the oak chest had been broken open , and all the money it contained had been taken away .

      Nanny Iredale , the prosecutor ' s housekeeper , was called and deposed to the above facts . John Crabtree . who was one of the party of burglars , was admitted as witness against the prisoners . His evidence being the most material , we give it fully :-f John Crabtree deposed—I am a grinder , and live in Huddersfield . I was lodging at John Taylor ' s beer-house . The prisoner , Martin , came to Taylor ' s on the Mondavi previous to the robbery , and asked if " Grinder" was in . I s * id " yes ; " and he then wishf d mo to go to the door . I did so ; and he said Robinson , Meek , Andrew Atkinson , and Robert Field wanted me at the top of the yard . I went with him , and when we got to them , Meek asked me if I would go with them to-night , and I said

      , what to do i Field said to go and rob a house , and there would ba a great deal of " brass" in it . I asked him where it was , and he replied that it did sot matter where it'was ; they would go with mo to it . I told them tbatil should notgo that night . I was then asked what night I would so , and I replied any but that . On the night of the robbery , I saw Meek , Field , and Martin , at the Wharf Iua corner , and they again asked me if I would go With them . I said , well , I will go . Field gave me a bar of iron , and after having gone in different directions we met at the Lane-bridge . Spencer , Wilkinson , and a person' named i Anderson , were also there . We all went over the " cut bridge ; " and after proceeding up a lane , and ! crossing some fields until we camo

      to within a short distance of the prosecutor ' s house , Meek then pulled a match out of bis waistcoat pocket , and lighted a dark lantern . ; When we got on the road , Meek and Anderson had a quarrel . We were then ; only about fifty yards from Mr . Steel ' s house , Wilkinson , Jackson , and 1 , then went on and said , we would have nothing to do with them . They then asked ius were we were going to , and , one of them said , " Come and do it ; it was no use leaving it . Never mind these winds . " We then went up to Steele ' s door . After examining it , 1 said it was both locked and barred . The : door was then tried . Steelfc , who waa inside , near the door , said " What do you want ; ''and Field replied , " We want alight . " Directly after we broke tha door open ,

      and rushed into | the house . Wilkinson got hold of the gun ; and Field and Jackson seized the prosecutor by the throat , and threwbim down on the floor . I got hold of the housekeeper , and threw her also down . The others then went up stairs , with the exception of Martin , who was outside the door . The men went up stairs but a short time , when they came down ; Meek had a bag across his shoulder , and the other two had a quantity of money in their hats . One of them said , " Come lads , all ' s right . " We all left the blouse , and as we were oro 98 ing the field ? , Wilkinson said to Jackson , " What the d 1 has thou ! brought that gun for ; fling it away ; that will do us no good . " Jackson then threw tho gua away . We continued on our way

      until we came to'the cut side , aud I then wished to know where the ' , 'brass" was to be shared ; upon which Wilkinson ; eaid , "Wo will go to the Three-Foot-Cabin : there will be a fire , and no one will disturb us . " We proceeded to the " cabin , " and there was either a woman or a man in . We proceeded on the Halifax road for about half a mile , when we went into a field ; there was a shed in it . We went into it , \ and a lamp being lighted we all knelt down , aadHhe money was turned oat of . the bags on to the floor . Jackson continued to give us five sovereigns each , until they were all divided . The spade guineas were given to US . in the Same manner ; and he then commenced the distribution of silver 6 y giving us a pound at a time . I got

      thirtytwo guineas and ; a half in gold . Jackson said he was tired of counting the money , and said , " Let us measure , the } 8 ilver in this thing , " ( meaning a small drawer which had been taken from the prosecutor ' s ) . This was done . Before going awiy , Jackson said it was no use keeping the drawer ; he would throw it away , and then threw it into a small plantation . It was silver they measured in the drawer . I did not see any notes ; but I heard Wilkinson asking about some , and he received no answer . We then left the place where we had divided the mosey , and met on the road . We parted , some going in one direction and some in another .

      Before 1 went home , I " planted" my share of the property in a field . I went to the place on the Monday , and took out the guineas and £ 5 in silver , asd I did not w < irk all that week . I ! spent nearly £ i of it . On the Sunday following 1 went again to the place , and ^ ot 36 i-ovt-roigns and about nine or ten pounds in silver . 1 know John Hirst . I met him on the following morning 011 the " Cut Bridge . " I asked him him if ho would go with me , and he said where to ; 1 replied to America . Hesaidhehadgotno brass , and I toldhim I had money that woulddo form both . We both went down tho basin side , and after we bad got a short distance , I gave him the thirty-

      two guineas , and went to fetch the remainder , but it had been taken away . I went back to Hirst , and as we were walking on I told him that I was one of the men in old Steele ' s robbery . We went to Wakefield , where Hirst lived , and gave his wife a quantity of money . He washed himself and then we started for Normaaton and came by the train to York . We bought two watches , two shirts , and two handkerchiefs : at the latter place , jand they were paid for with some of the spade guineas that had been stolen from Steele ' s . We afterwards went to Hull , and

      took our places in a snip for Aroenoa . We paid the charge next morning—it was £ 7 12 s . for as both . Some time previous to Bailing , however , we were taken iato custody by the Hull police .
