' HUDDERSTISLD . CONVICTION OF ONE OF FLOYD'S % T 00 LS BY THE HUDDERSFIELD MAGISTRATES . ( Before W . W . BaUye , Esq ., Chairman ; W . Brook , J . Sulchffe , and T . Slarkty , Eeqs . J On Tuesday last , Jolm Woodhead , of Cuuibert ^ T * 2 'naeroptoymenfe of Fio d , ciork to the UuddersEeld liwou , appeared at the Court House , on a aniann > as taken out by Mr . T . Belcliffe , for Bfeglccimg to deliver out the voting papers for Uuaberworth Half , on the 23 d of-March Jast ; for leaving some of the papers at Mr . Norton ' s mill , instead of at tha residence of the voters ; and also for canvassing voters in Cumberworlh , bv which meana
the orders of the Poor Law Commissioners had been wilfully disobeyed , and he had subjected himself to a peualtj of n * t less than five pounds . As the shameful mai-mma of Floyd and the supporters Of the New Bastile Act , at the late election for Guardians ef the Poor , had excited great indignation amocg the rate-payera of the Union , the case excited great interest , and the room was thronged with anxious spectators . Mr . Clocgh appeared for the rate-payers , and . Floyd was in attendance to defend the sayings and doings of Woodkead . On the ca 3 e beipg called , ¦
¦' - ¦¦ ' Mr . Clouch said he appeared on behalf of Mr . Belcli 2 e , wha had taken . out the summons in this case . He should not go into any lengthened remarks on the charges , but he begged the attention of the Court to one circumstance . In the order for the election of Guardians in the several parishes of tho Hsddars&eld Union for the year 1839 , which was the order immediately preceding the last , it was directed that no person employed ia delivering out voting papers should canvass for or endeavour to influence the votes of the electors ; and in order that this might be plain and clear to . any parson so employed , tats form of the voting paper ontained in the last election order of the ComnusnoneracbntaiiiedtheMowiDgparaficaph : — "Persons
employed in distributing or collecting the voting _ papers , or otherwise executing the election orders Of too Poor Law Commissiousw , are cautioned not to WHtass the rbtes-for any candidate , or do any thiug By which the return of any candidate may be unduly -influenced ^ Now this paragraph , containing a caution to tha distributor of tho voting papers agains ; canvassing and unduly influencing the voters i 2 d been omitted from the voting papers issned on . fee occasiou ; but lie should be enabled to prove that Woodhead did oanvass the voters , and it would be for the beech to say whether in this respect the order of the Cuuuniiaioners had Lot been wilfully departed from . But there ware two other charges against v file defendant . The first of these was , that lie did
not deliver out the votuigpapera at the proper time ; tod the second , that he took the voting papers to . Norton 3 mill , and got the working men to fill them ap there , instead oi . takiug them to their residence as directed by . the order . With respect to the first charge ha begged to call the attention of toe bench so the twenty-fifth section of the last order of the Commissioners , which directed that if the names of tne candidates in the list for any parish shall exceed tho number of Guardians to be elected therein , the Cierk shall , on the twenty' second of March , cause voting papers in the form U . to be prepared and filled up at me expense of such parish . " - Now ha should prove that these papers wereuot filled up till the twenty fifth of March ; sad wish respect to tiie last charge , the same section vent on to direct that such votiug papers should be delivered the
by . collectors of votes to the address in such parish of eacn owner or proxy qualified to TOte therein , " and he should prove that they were not so delivered , but that some were delivered at Mr . ^ .. Norton ' s null , and there was every reason to infer " aifimpropaf > arpoae-in-so doing , ~ aud if there was an improper purpose that would go to prove the ^ wilful diMbedieuce of the order . Ho should now , bring witnesses to substantiate his caso , the first of ... whom would be Mr . Hoyd himself , who , by the 13 th section of the Gunuui 3 siouers ' s List order was emi- _ powered , as Clerk of the Union , to appoint persons ' - ftr&odeliferypfiaie voting papers ; and thenif the xtench . were oi' opinion that the defendant had wilfully disobeyed the order , he ; should submit that , oy the 98 th clause of the New Poor law Amendment Act , he had subjected himself to a nenaltv " £ 5 . - * '

( Here the cool impudence « the witness excited the laughter and disapprobation of tflaaudience , and the bench looked very dissatisfied . ) * .. Mr . Brook—You should have got a summons for Mr .

. Thomas Belcliffe examined—Isa cloth weaver and fermer ; Jives at Jane Well , in Cumberworth . Isa . voter in the Hnddersfield Union ; knows the defendant ,-John Woodhead ; he is the person who delivered out the votingpapers for the late election of Guardians ; saw him deliver some of these voting papers to voters at the Bed Lion Inn , on the twenty-J&lh of March , at apublio meeting ; it was about nine in the evening . . Cross-examined by Mr . FiariH-This was on Wednesday , Maroh 25 th .
Amos Towusend—Is a fancy weaver at Shelly . Snows John Woodhead ; met him at Norton ' s mill , sear Cumber ( ronh Half , on Tuesday , March 24 th ; * e came into the miU and inquired for Aaron Dalton to presented him a voting paper ; Aaron said he Jmew nothing of the parties , and hesitated to fid file paper up ; Abraham Gibson was then called ; he hesitated about filling the paper up ; Woodhead said JhejriBigat please themselves—if they preferred a fisreiguer , they might , but he should choose a townsman , because Cumber worth had been overrated by Ai » GnardianB .
By the Chaibhah—Woodhead left the papers , and said they might send them tomorrow . John Wharen—Is an occupier of land in Cumberworth ; knows Woodhead ; he came to him on the 2 lth March , and delivered the voting paper . He asked him t » fill it up , and be so good as to send it op to the school that night . . Czoss-examined—lie had time to fill it up . He did fill it up . . v-ii John Matthews—Is a farmer at Shepley ; knoiip Woodhead ; met him on the 24 th March at Wynn ' sj in Cumberworth Half ; was in company with him there ; John Hirst ana another came in while they
weretnere , and asked Woodhead for their voting papers ; his answer was that he had left them at the laetory ; they lived inNorton ' a JRow ; when Woodhead raid he left them at the factory he meant Union ' s factory . * Crosa-exaouusd—Wynn , the landlord , objaoted to the voting papers being left at the factory , on the cround that Mr . Hall , who was employed by Mr . KorJou , would influence the voters . : George Matthews—lives at Cumberworth ; knows John Woodhead ; gat his paper at five o ' oiock ^ n the 24 & March ; Woodhead told him to fill it up ind carry it down to the school .
Cross-exsmined—Filled is up and sent it to the school . William Bradley—Knows Woodhead- ; saw him deliver a voting paper to Joseph Kay ; gaw him « t « Kay ^ 'house ^ and lay it on th ' e-table ; heard " ~^ : ^ Eaj- ask wha t iMn |; Kay said he knew noMpg gUkrat-it ; Woodhead pd 1 nte 4 . -torFifkL ' fi'iiaQie ^ md , jsaM ^ There ^ Hei « id ^** ther 8 % re Hudjfe jbi ^ Md xwn ^ wh o ^ ew'fiblhmg of-the-aiSairs j ) f * Cttm Krwrofe ^ feS TEen wished Kay to- send the paper - , down . _ Un % » ag out he eaid he knew Kay would ~" ti * tefor Fiefeb » C : ; Croas-examiuedr-Has not heard that Kay has been ill ; had seen him that day ; he was now in the Court House .
Thb was the ease of the plaintifi ; Mr . FiiOtDtheaxoee to reply . He Eftid the first ( barge must fall to the ground , as there was no . ¦; section in the last order of the Camisissionera which poeiti ? ely forbid canvassing the voters . [ Mr . Gough here intimated thai he abandoned that part « f the eha » ge . ] He would put it to the bench whether the witnesses were worthy of belief . ( Oh , « h !) One of the witnesses stated that Joseph Kay -eras present in Court that day , and it was remarkable that when the principals in the affair could be got at , witnesses , were put ia the box who , it was sapooaed : would go a little further than the
parties more immediately concerned . Then , with ; r « peot to the non-delivery of tha papers at ¦ the " proper time , ho was instructed by bis . client to eay , ' thst from d » a short ¦ paea of tirae allowed for filling up the papers , it was inpcaiblB they could be d ' one in time .

them . If the men had not received their voting papers there would be grounds efaccugation ; but as theywere delivered t » the parties , no charge of wilful disobedience to . theorder of the Commissioners could rest upon his client . The Chairman asked to see the 25 th section of the order ; and upon its being handed to the Bench , tho Court seemed to be unanimous in their opinion that ' it had been wilfully disregarded by Woodhead .
After a short consultation , The Chaimuh inquired of Beleliffe whether he paid his witnesses' expenses { Mr . Bclclifie— Yes . &r . Ci . ough , on finding the magistrates were about to convict , stated that he was not instructed to press for a heavy fine . All I 113 client sought was to cause those who were intrusted wtth the execution of the law to respect it themselves . The Chaibman—Very well .
The magistrates then consulted for a fow mjnutea , when *^^ i g > 80 The 'Chairsun eaid—We convict in a fine of ten shillings and expenses , making together £ 113 . The decision was received with the greatest satisfaction by a crowded court ; and on the renewed application of Mr . Clough , the magistrates reduced the fine to Is ., Mr . Brooke stating , that he thought Mr . Belcliffe had acted with great liberality in the aSair . We understand that this proceeding will be followed by others of a similar nature , next week , as the conduct of the Clerk to the Union , and that of his agents , has excited unmitigated disgust among the ratepayers and inhabitants generally .
Previous to the above case being heard , Flpyd himself appeared to answer a summons taken out against him by Mr . Pitkethly , under the New Poor Law Amendment Aet , for wilful disobedionce of the orders of the Poor Law Commissioners , in leaving out from the voting papers the paragraph above alluded to , cautioning persons employed in distributing voting papers not to canvass the voters . The omission was flagrant , but Mr . Pitkethly failed in establishing wilful disobedience to the satisfaction of the magistrates , and they consequently declined to convict . . -

WHIGGISM YERStfS CHARTISM . " He pnesed in review the fonduct of the Government during the last six yeari-TCorping , criticising , lifting , end misrepresenting , and extracting undoubtedly from the ample materials at his disposal , though often by omitting Vie qualifying portUms of the very documents to tcftfcft he referred , a prima facie case of apparent indifference and neglect . " The foregoing word ? , which we have seleoted as our text , are tA ^ 'hlm t ^ WeeklfCKfohi ^ e Sl last week—and to what subject do our readers imagine they are directed ? Does the above passage
apply to the charges lately brought against . the Chartist prisoners ? Was the writer attackingthe flimsy evidence adduced against our patriotio brethren ! 0 nol he is merely referring to the accusation against , the present Government , with regard to China , made by Sir Jahes Graham ! The Bapient scribbler is nol spoaking of those vile reporter , who capped , siftAd , mlsrepreeentcd , ami extracted whatever they desired by milting tht qualifying portions ; ' he is not describing the testimony which , taken piecemeal , has sent so many
poor fellows to a dungeon , but which , taken as a whole , and connected , should have loaded them with praise ; he alludes not to the witnesses against Kay , JACKS 05 i Smith , and Dori *; he blames not the evidence brought against O'Brien , Richabjdsom , Jacksok , and BcxiEKwoBza;—to be sure not ;—those trinles were of no consequence , but direotly that his darling ma ^ s ^ who ^ haye places in their Sift ) are attacked , then aud then only doea the hke liug look out fora flaw ; then . does he demur to proceedings in which he , hitherto ; hag most joyfully acquiesced . ' , T
During the whole of the Chartists trials , when garbled reports and imperfect transcripts were daily allowed to conviot the poor , tho humble , and the innocent , the proprietor and the destroyer of tho Weekly Chronicle , never thought proper to make asy remark deprecatory of such unjust and illegal doings . So then , we nay gather from this conduct that very different evidence is requisite far the same political offences , when the parties charged are in different stations of life . Thus a poor Chartist is placed at the bar—the indictment substantially runs thus— ''You have attempted to destroy all tyranny
and oppression ; you desire equal laws and equal justice ; you hare dared to learn your rights ; but above all , you have ' endearonred to regaiu those which we have taken from you , and to maintain those few which we have left you . A witness is called , he states himself to be a reporter , and reads fromadirty bit of paper any pretty iale that his fertile imagination may have invented ; he ' reads a word here and a word there ; always forgets and ; omita the most important parts ; if tha speaker said "
Possess arms , and then you will have no need to use them , " he gives this version , " Possess arms , and use thenu'V We naturally object to this patching up of a charge . What says the Judge ! At Newcastle — "This will never do . " At Liverpool , " It seems good enough . " What say the Jury ? u 0 ! guilty byaUmeau 8 . " What , 01 what says the Weekly Chronicle ?— " The evidence is most conclusive—there was no doubt about the guilt . These Chartists must be put down !"
, But now see the Whig Ministry placed at the bar —Sir Jambs Graham prosecutes , and truly lays the charge in the following terms : — "Not : only have you weakened and destroyed the internal resources of this country , but you have exposed her to every aggression and insult , whioh foreign nationB , roused by your injustice , will heap upon her ; you . first dared : to violate the laws of God and man , by . introducing aad scattering abroad the most noxious of poisons ; when this inhuman traffic is expressly forbiddeD , yon continue it ; when the laws are put into execution and the decreed
punushment most prop « rl ? inflicted , yoa say this sKall-not bo done , the opium shall biing money to your bloodstained , though impoverished coffers , and an unoffending people , if they will not quietly Buffer themselves to be poisouod , shall , at all / ejjsuts Tfplain by ths ~ swerd : ; - ^ L ] gra-ye accusation is sflM ^ ISoigput byfce ^ i ^^ of flje criminals yte ^ lve ^^ seiifortVin ' their documents . ' But what » ya ^ o ^ u > c 1 o ' nstUuted Jadge , Ward ; ojf . the Chromck now l "This won't do . This is carping , criticising , sifting , and misrepresenting ; this is omitting the qualifying portions ^ " ( Query—WherVare they to be found !) What says the Jury—a most shabby majority of nine—in tffe case : * Not Guilty , » f course !"
We beseech our rea ^ cra— . " To look upon this pietare , then on that " But we tell all Judges , Juries , ratStial men , and the . TF « fr / yC ? wx )? ii «/ e , thatlawj ^ tob 8 oboyed andrevered must be equal , impartial , andunifoim in their operation . The essence of good legislation is mlainty , so that men may know what to shun and what to puisne . If a law be made that whoever wears a broad-brimmed hat ehaU suffer death , it would be
a shameful enaotmeatitistrae ^ etitwouldpossesstlie advantage of certainty , and we should probably avoid wearing broad-brimmed hats ; but if a law were passed , threatening death to any . one , that offends the legislature , no human being eouid possibly know whether he was committing the crime or not , and bis life would ever be at the mercy oi' hia law-m&kors . The rules of evidence form an important branch of law , and it is of vital impor tance that th » y shoald bo based on certainty . The same

If it b ? neceBsary that the whole context should be given , when adduced against a minister , it is equally requisite , when ; bxbikghi against a mechanic . To show that not apar ^ lone should be allowed , we need only quote one ins ^ pco , as lately given by a Learned Judgerr , \ ,- ' -: W a " The fool hath said in his heart , there fa no . ' Gofe' ? Now , merely take the latter clause of the sentence "there is no God "—and we can thereby

1 _ 1 ^ n ^ ANOTHER WHACK AT TI « f INCAPABLES . The Knights-of St . ' Stephen ' s have now had about five and forty nights of it , and one-fifth of the whole time has been taken up with three questions of not the slightest importance to the nation . For three nights they have talked about confidence in themselves ; for the country , they \ dared ..-not say , had any concern in the ' humbug . For three other nights they repeated the old Btory about " choap food , " " cheap food , " ' . ' cheap food , " without one word about cheap labour , cheap labour , cheap
labour ; Moueeth and others declaring the law to bo a violation of the recommendation in the Lord ' s Prayer , while many hypocrites , both oftbe Senate and the .. League , ( old Dixon , of Carlisle ,, to wif ) protested that Christianity , alone . induced them to take part in the struggle !/ Religious , bo : u 1 s 1 Upon this-question they'left off jusfr ; where . 1 > hey begun , and then came other three nights ; u ' ofc as" to whether we should pay for shooting the innoc ' ei ^ Chjnese ai ( 4 burning their houses , ; btat ¦ ¦ -whether ; * e ? shourd p ' ay the Whigs or the Tories for doing it ; for that was ' the whole question . Well ! these have been the
three great trials of strength between the faotions , in the result of which the working people had no more concern , than „ , they have in the cut . of Prince Albert ' s . uniform , or the length of his moustaohe ; ; However , a « the Satirist of last Sunday , well observes , even upou the Corn Law debate , all . interests , save the interests of the working dashes , were ingeniously lugged in . The remainder of-the Session has been occupied iu contests about privilege , and declarations of the fitues 3 of the respective -parties to govern foreign countries , without one single word of their fitness to insure domestic happiness , or to lessen the sufferings of their own people ; The name of England and Ireland- has been forgotten , while ; the
highest sounding foreign jaw-crackers have been in every puppy ' s mouth . Not - a word of Lancashire , Yorkshire , Glasgow , or .

We have had England coerced , while the Whig leading journal claims credit for the Whigs , inasmuch as thoy not only allayed discontent in the CanadaB , but that , moreover and observe it , that they have also destroyed the cause which led to the discontent . This , we think , will teach our poor , that whea 4 he govemorB oaimot them , selves rol ) , they ' will legislate justly rather thau allow others to rob—a good and sufficient reason
this for taking the means out of their hands . So much of thVeession has been gone ' through , ' and now let any man who earns an honcsUivelihoodsoberly ask himself for his benefit in legislation— . "Where is it ? " If it is not to be found ; of what benefit is legislation to him ? Bah ' . but he will hear it . Nonsense and mystery are more flattering arid beguiling than Bound good common eense .

Some short time will now be afforded for reflecting upon the Parliamentary transactions from the commencement of the present Session . In this act we hare s ^ ange inconsistencies—wo have the scene opening with marriage , and ending with war . Both maytbe sometimes necessary ; however ^ with beings ; jnore refined than our law makers jwe rwould be iuolinedjo argue against war in every , or auy , ahape . ;^ et w / howev er ^ who- write for those who rather tosebyboth royal marriages and-wars , see how the - ' account of ' so much of tho Session stands .
; In me"first couut we may , . as Chartists , fairly charge the Parliament with having unlawfully and maliciously conspired for the purpose of creating , in the miuds of the working classes of this country , disaffection towards the Queen of these realms . In tho second ; with having raised riots , routs , tumultSj and rebellion all over the world—both at home and abroad . In the third count , with having raised armed insurrections for the purpose of subverting the Constitution of this country as by law established N . ow about the same evidence which has been suf- * fioieht to oonviot Chartists before a uwugieljury , of Whigs and Tories , viz ,, that the defendant is a Ckartist , will , we trust , be sufficient to support the above indictment—the defendants being Whigs .
To enumerate tho many acts of spoliation—the many iuroada . made on . the ConstHutios , and the many ¦ insul ts offeredto national pride , ¦ during the present Session , would require more time than we can bestow upon tho subject .

We have had the manners , oustoms , and condition of the people of every nation upon earth , with one solitary exception , feelingly , oopiously , and calmly discussed
—theone exception being the condition of the working classes of the British Empire . The state of the poor of all other countries , whether of the CeieBtiai Empire , of the Old World , or of tho m . roRTAirc portion of tho New , ia matter with which Honourable Gentlemen profess themselves quite conversant . Lancashire , Yorkshire , and the other garrisons of their own poor , form no portion of this historical research . We are gravely told that the whole of the rest of the world pants for a more close alliance with those" two countries , when that alliance is to serve speculating masters ; but ,
independently of the benefit which the change sought for by those . masters , would bririg them , tho Parliament —the whole Parliament—the protecting Parliament —the check upon the Crown , and the Aristooraoyhas no nostrum ; can devise no single plan , apart from thamaater ' a speculation of relieving do-)^ tic ^ is ^ res 8 ^ A . ; :.- ^^ . ^ . i : ...: ;^ v : v ,...: ' ^ _ - ,. _ . } - The , ^ arl | am « Bt is ' ^ supposed to b ^ e' a correct tepfe £ sehtatioh of the nation ' s will j acting as a check ' upon the Crown and the " ' - Aristocracy .

the present Donoughmore familfv what . was called « ^ rt every thing , " and when the lady at the head of that noble family , being starved tor & whole month , that is not having got a single appointment from the viceroy to keep her hand in , accepted forhersolf of a majority in a dragoon reg iment . Upon one of his tours of inspection the Commanderin-chief honoured the lady-major of dragoons with a visit ; and many of the young Hutchiksons being in the , Army List , and holding very conspicuous places there , the Goneral , after dinner , expressed a hope that he should be honoured with an introduction to the young heroes ; whereupon the Major left tho roomand from the bottom of the stairs thus
, summoned the young soldiers to the presence of the veteran . " Nurse , take the Captain ' s-cradleoutof the Major ' s room , as he ' s teething , and when the Colonel wakes , h « ng nira down » as the 6 eneral wishos to seo him . " Now , trifling as the valuoof form may appear , yet nothing so far tends to lessen the . respect in which the "lower orders" have been taught to hold their superiors , as the slightest departure from those mysterious rules by which society has been so long governed and supremacy conferred . Albert , not of age to make a will , is Field Marshal : aibeitnotofage to make a will , yet , from his . profession as Doctor of Civil Law , supposed capable of unravelling the most knotty point in ecclesiastjca . 1
law . We do not in the slightest degree blame Field Marshal Doctor Albert , but , nevertheless , we do protest , upon the part of the army and the bar , against this disclosure of military and professional mystery . We do protest against the impudence and injustice of knocking the show-box off Punch and Judy , and thus destroying the honest calling of unwilling beggars and strolling players , who depend wholly upon the" Right Divine , " " Mysteey , " for their-support ; We fear lest this quick promomotion of the Prince should make every man his own General and will-maker ; : and , therefore , it is that , apart from the salary , which , of course , ia ivoihing , wo again enter our protest .
Such then have been some , only some , of the doings of the precious Whigs during this eventful Session . The thing has been altogether very melo ' -dramatio , commencing with billing , cooing , and the honeymoon-, and ending in war , blue fire , death and the devil , brimstone , gaols , bolts , transports , scaffolds , starvation , and death . When the unemployed compose the majority of the discontented , then will all discontent cease ; in truth , machinery is fast bringing about the result . Only let the people keep firmly togother , and their
cause is won ; but , let them once admit a single skulking , Radical , Poor Law repeal trimmer , and they are lost . They must hiss those fellows , and all whospeakofSiTiextensionofiheSuffrage . Itisadreadful term , meaning nothing less than "Poor men ! throw your question into our hands , and then we will throw you and your question overboard ! ' ' There is no such thing as a Household Suffrage party in this kingdom . They look upon Household Suffrage as the antidote to Universal Suffrage ; and should we to-morrow give up the one , upon the following day both would be buried in the same
grave . This is the thousandth time we have told you this , and we now repeat it . Never , never , never budge one inch from " the whole hog , " though fifty times as many more &hould be sent to the dungeon .

ANXIETY OF THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ON ACCOUNT OF MR O'CONNOR . Tub paternal solicitude of the Whig Government was conspicuously manifested for Mr . O'Connor on Weduesday , as will be seen from the following , which we copy from the Sun of that day : —
" COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH . " TnB QUJEEN V . PEAnGUS O ' CONNOB . " The Attorsey-Generai . said he was exceedingly anxious that the defendant , who had been convicted before Mr . Justice Coloridge at the last assizes , should be brought up for judgment as early as possible , yet he should be sorry that the defendant should bo brought up to attend the Court before it was absolutely necessary . He , therefore , prayed the Court to name a day when- the defendant should be brought up for judgment . ! -al ^ SS ^ S ^^^^' . toMilW <»» Monday
