Ceedings, Of The So^Allcd Representative...
ceedings , of the so ^ allcd representatives of the nation . ( Hear , hear . ) The first thing , in my judgnMttv-jyhieh ^ e-haTe ; to-do , is . ? to makeit * inown that we are determined there sb ^ tt ^ be-. no ... retro-. Sadatioiu'iXEbhd' cheering . ] i ; A '' great battle , has t ^ fqug ht for tho rcgulatiori of pin- commercial ¦ nrteroburse ' wifh' other countries . ; ( Hear ; hear . ) Hat battle has bceii " successful ; we must not suffer ourselvestoVe deprived of tbeadvantages which we have gained . " ( Cheere . ) ' "We must pot permit a graspin " and , insolvent landocracy , aided byhood-TOkes / raekrented tenants , backed by their ill-paid arid benighted labourers , to re-impose a tax upon the people ' s food . . ( General cheering . ) Let me "haveypur permission to-ni ght , to declare as your representative , that all restrictive imposts upon the
oread of the people—all taxes upon that food which the millions eat in the sweat of their face—are unnatural , impious , and inhuman . ( Cheers , and cries of" Yes . " ) Let me / have your permission to declare , that you demand the right freely to eat of all the harvests in the world , and that you will never again allow the quantity , the quality , or the price of your loaf to be tampered with , for , the benefit of the landlords of this country . ( Enthusiastic cries of "Yes , yes , " and cheers . ) Dp this , and I shall be strong , not only in the justice of the case , but in jour confidence and support . ( Much cheering . ) I nave no fear of the result ! ( Hear , hear . ) On the contrary , I foresee the best consequences following from the early discussion and settlement of the great question "protection , or no protection . "
( Loud cheers . ) The landlords will be beaten—( cheers )—beaten in arguments —( cheers)—beaten by facts —( cheers)—beaten by an appeal to experience . and ascertained results—( cheers )—and beaten finally by the votes of both branches of the legislature . ( Long and continued criesof " Hear . " ) I saw in the Daily News of this day that his Grace theDuke of Richmond , tho President of the Society at 17 , Old Bond-street —( a laugh )—addressed a protection meeting at Brighton , on . Saturday last ^ and counselled union arid ' determination for the purpose of turnmg out-thb present government , and installing one that should restore ., prote ' ctibn ; to . British . agriculture , let us pause ^ pr a riioment to inquire whether this noble duke Js'the " most consistent man in the world , in thus ' sceking to diminish the size and
increase the cost of the loaf of "his fellow-countrymen . ( Shame . ) The Duke . is a descendant of the famous Duchess of Portsmouth , one of the courtezans of that exemplary monarch Charles the Second . ( A laugh . ) Undoubted historical records inform us that in the 29 th year of his reign , the " merry monarch caused letters patent fobeissued , granting to his rig ht trusty arid rig ht entirely beloved son Charles Duke of Richmond and Lennox a duty of twelve pence per chaldron on all coals shipped out of the river Tyne . ( Expressions of disgust . ) This doty was regularly received and appropriated by the Bichmonds and Lennoxes . At length it became desirable that these coal duties should be transferred to the crown , for the public service , and steps were taken to ascertain their value and make
compensation to the then Dake of Richmond . (" Oh , oh , and cries of " Shame . " ) Accordingly , we find in the parliamentary finance papers of 1801-2 , 1810 , and 1825 , accounts of the purchase by tbe Exchequer in the Three per Cent . Consolidated Fund of three sums , eaehofthe amountof £ 211 ; lll , 2 s . 3 d . making a total of £ 633 , 333 , 6 s . 9 d ., for which £ 490 , 833 , lis . 6 d . of the public money was paid . This half million sterling was handed to the Duke of Richmond , and as much added to the national debt of the country ; the interest to be paid , or the principal to be redeemed , by the hardworking people of Eng land . ( Renewed cries of " Shame . " ) These coal duties and this half million have enabled the Dukes of Richmond to become vast landed proprietors ; and the use the present duke makes of his
power , and " the grateful return which he ^ makes to the people of this country , to whom he owes every farthing which he or his ancestors ever possessed , is to put himself at the head of a movement for taxing the people ' s bread and for turning out her "Majesty ' s ministers because they are in favour of See trade in corn . ( Loud cries of " Shame . " ) "Let this and other noble dukes beware . Shouldthey continue their machinations much longer the people stay begin , if they are not already doing it , to look into the origin and nature of their titles to the enormous wealth which they have "been permitted to possess . Such an investigation would neither add to the splendour of their reputation , the respectability of their pedigrees , nor the security of their fortunes . Let them learn a lesson from the sailor ' s
epitaph : " Lie still , if you ' re wise , You'll be if you rise . " ( Much laughter . ) A legislator who professes to be in favour—not of class interests , bat o the rights and welfare of all classes , will not only maintain our present commercial policy , but do much more . He will earnestly unite with those who are demanding a rigid inquiry into the national expenditure with a viewto large reductions , especially in our overgrown and immoral establishments for the maintenance of the army and the navy . ( Loud and general cries of " Hear , hear . " ) He will be prepared to support a revision of our whole system of taxation with a view to the equalisation of the burdens pressing on the people . He will demand that all taxes of every
"kind be brought to account , that the people may "know what are the gross receipts and what are the expenses of collection , and what pensions and salaries are now paid out of the public purse . He will demand an inquiry into the salaries and emoluments of all public officers , and a sirict comparison of prices in the past and present years , that such reductions may be made as are just and equitable , and that the public money be not squandered in unmerited pay and sinecure emoluments . He will be earnest in his endeavours to obtain cheap food for the minds of . his fellow-subjects as he has been to obtain cheap food for their bodies , and will do his best to remove those taxes on knowledge which are obstructive of popular education , agrievous impediment in the way of the best benefactors of their
country , and a scandal to the civihsationand intelligence of the age . He will co-operate with those who are the friends of the sister country , and above all will be anxious to relieve the people of Ireland from the iniquitous burden of sustaining a church whose doctrines arc those of a few only , and are repudiated by the millions of the indigenous people of tbe soil . ( Cheers . ) He will thus show his . sympathy with Irish distress and his love of reli g ious liberty . By such a course he will also prove hunself the hest promoter of that connexion between the parent country and its dependencies whick is productive of good to both and is most likely to perpetuate harmony , prosperity , and loyalty . In thus venturing to refer to the course which , I think , a friend of the people ought to take in parliament , I have sketched
my own duty , and indicated the path which I intend steadily to pursue . ' ( Cheers . ) Should such a course be the one which . you would have your representative take , I shall calculate upon your support and approval . ( Loud cheers . ) If it should not , I would then recommend- you to . provide yourselves with some one in riiy place— (" "N o , no" )—arice it is my resolution to advocate all the measures I have now specified . There is yet another great measure , and one which I regard as paramount and essential . I mean Parliamentary Reform . ( Cheers . ) I have considered it my duty faring tixe Inst font- -months -to place myself at the disposal of the council of the National "Reform Association for the purpose of assisting that body either publicly in assemblies called for the consideration of
thenr scheme , or privately in any way in which my talents may be made available . . It is my intention while I have , strength to continue to give them my services even more unreservedly than I have hitherto been able to do ., You will have the opportunity to-nig ht of saying whether ypu sympathise with this movement , and . whether you sanction the part taken by your representative .. If your-verdict should be favourable , you will , sot . be disposed to blame me if Isuould . sqmetimes . think that I may be doing more g ^ odby / gbirig forth / to awaken and enlist the public in the cause than by spending my time in fruitless attendance in the house , which we seek to reform . On-. all great questions . affecting your interests , I pledge myself to be at my post , to give an honest vote . My : opinion of the present
state of the representation riiay be soon expressed—J look upon it as a mockery , and upon the house -which it has created as unconstitutional . The object Of the society we are assembled to promote , is to . give the people a real representation in that ionse , by largely extending the franchise , and by fetting rid of / borbughs under influence and intimiation —( hear , hear )—by the enlargement , and as far as practicable , tte equalisation of electoral districts . . Such , a reform will enable the people to return the men . of their , choice upon free and independent ' principles . . ( Hear , hear . ); It- is often a source of the . greatest satis & ctibri . to me to reflect that the honour which I enjoy of a seat iu the House of Commons is ari honour which , zs far as I can judge , has Seen conferred upon me with the consent of the people—with the consent and approbation of the . non-enfranchised class of the community , not only in this borough—hut throughout the kingdom . And this not because I
have at any time aspired to . be the . champion of their righte ^ or the ; exponent of their condition « r their prejudices ; still less because , I have been a servile panderer to their wishes ; but because I have in-JM ^ ably taken ; them / into ' account , as having the nm claim to coqsideratiba iri the discussion of every public question . ; " I conelride by calling . upon vou to dealfrankly with ybur member at ail times , that ne may know how far his ; public conduct , is in narmpny with the political views of those who have elevated hnnto ^ a - place in the Jegislatureof . the country . .. The hon . . member who was throughout 3 ^ i " ^ - ^? enthusiastic demoristrltioris Of regard and approbation , concluded with an eloquent peroration ,, exhorting concentration of effort ^ p ? the pari alike ' f the frarichised and ^ uri-^ % - ^ i ^ «¦;* £ ** of bbUiSfthe reforms whichttey / deminde ^ andtha Mrm ^ ent J «*?

Ceedings, Of The So^Allcd Representative...
in the election of Mr . Thompson , was anxious to express his satisfaction , and he belieyed ., th q , satiS fiaction'Of ah ' pres' ^ mam"'fr -h * . which that gentlemanrihas ¦ -conducted himselfas their \ reproseutative ,. andto . astthemto agree to a resolution . expressive , of their , continued confidence iri him ;/ arid their . determination to back huh in his endeavoures to benefit ' the people , ' with their support . The resolution was ;— ' That reviewing the parliamentary vote ' s and . general public conduct of Mr . George ' Thompson , '' this
meeting is of opinion that he as fully redeemed his pledges on the hustings in 18 * 7 , and has entitled himself to the confidence of the electors and nonelectors of this borough . That this meeting would embrace the present opportunity of gratefully recognising the exertions of Mr . Thompson to . obtain for the unfranchised classes of this country a full and fair representation of the Houce of Commons and resolve to render him all the co-operation in their . power in the attainment of that important na Mr !' j . SLL Williams , an elector , seconded the resolution , which wassupported by Jar . jjox . : the
Mr . G . W . M . Retsolos rose to support resolution . He was received with tremendous applause , which continued for some minutes , on the part of the great majority of the meeting ; but about twenty or thirty persons who evidently belonged to the middle class , and who looked like dissenting ministers , sustained a protracted hiss . Thereupon Mr . George Thompson requested the factious disturbers to be quiet , and give Mr . Reynolds a fair hearing . Order being restored , Mr . "Reynolds proceeded to express his opinions on se vend matters alluded to by previous speakers . Sir Joshua Walmsley had talked of the glorious constitution , and had eulogised its component partsnamely , King , Lords , and Commons , but he ( Mr . Reynolds ) could see nothing at all admirable in it ; and as
forthe House ofLords , bethought it ought to be abolished altogether . ( Cheers . ) Then Sir Joshua had dep lored the infringement upon the prerogatives of the Crown ; but he ( Mr . - Reynolds ) could seeno possible harm in that—on the contrary , he looked upon it as a matter of congratulation , supposing that such was really the ease .. . What he wanted to see was the extension of the privileges of the people . ( Immense cheering . ) The aristocracy had grasped everything it could lay its hands upon ; and it was no matter of surprise at-all if the masses were steeped inpauperism , wretchedness , -: and misery . ( Hear . ) Royalty had cost this country orie hundred millions of pounds sterling since the accession of George the Third , unto the present time . Surely this was rather too much to pay one family for
doing them the honour to reign over them ? ( Hear , hear . ) Then look how the people were ground down by taxes . ^ Nothing would ever put a stop to such n-onton extravagance , a d tremendous waste , until the Charter became the law of the land . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Thompson had eloquently described the origin of the Dukb of Richmond ' s titles and revenues ; he mi ht also have said that the Dukes of St ; Albans and GraftOn derived their honours and riches from the same source—namely , the prostitution of their ancestresses . ( Hear , hear . ) A great deal had been said about Protection and Free Trade : but was it astonishing that the Americans could supply us with grain cheaper than we could produce it at home—Or rather , at a lower rate than our farmers could bring it into our own markets—when it was
remembered that industry in this country was weigheddown with the . heaviest pecuniary burdens , while America was comparatively untaxed ? ( Hear , hear . ) The Parliamentary Reform Association deserved tbe support , or , at all events , the countenrnjee of the working classes , because it was p ledged to ag itate for a considerable amelioration in the present system ; and the least modicum of reform was a grand step gained towards future - triumphs . ( Cheers . ) But when asked for an extension of the suffrage , the minister . would base his refusal upon tbe alleged ignorance of the people . And yet it was not the ignorance of the masses that was feared by the aristocracy ; hilt their intelligence . ( Cheers . ) The tyrants well know that a veritable people ' s parliament would make hig h work of all existing abuses . ( Cheers . ) When asked for the Ballot , the minister would deny it on the plea of its being un-English . But the upper classes did not think it un-English to use the ballot-box at their clubs , nor
in regimental court-martials . They did not consider it un-English to employ French cooks aud lacqueys in preference to English domestics of tlie same order ; nor did they scruple to g ive the preference to French milliners , tailors , and dancingmastcrs . Lastly , but not least , the : men who talked about the ballot being un-English , did riot think it un-English to lacerate the backs of unfortunate sailors and soldiers until the flesh was beaten into a jelly . ( Hear , hear . ) Things , in fact , were only un-English when it suited the- country ' s tyrants and oppressors to proclaim them so . ( Loud cheers . ) The abolition of the Property Qualification would likewise meet with ministerial opposition , on the ground that intelligence generall y went with the wealth-possessing class . Now it was by no means difficult to show the atrocious folly of that argument . Take , for instance , Sir Robert Peel—a man who by possessing riches , was not only quallifiedtovote for Members of Parliament , but likewise to become a Member of Parliament himself .
But suppose that a sudden stroke of adversity deprived him of all his property to-morrow , he would lose the right of voting for a member and sitting as one , and yet his intellect would remain , precisely the same . ( Hear . ) On the other hand , take the meanest and most ignorant mendicant crawling in the gutter—the veriest wretch that ever was steeped in the most lamentable ignorance—and suppose that some lucky windfall filled his pocket with gold , what " would be the consequence ? He mi g ht rise from his filth and his rags all in a moment , to exercise the privilege of voting , and become a Member of Parliament himself . { Hear , hear . ) This was tbe real lig ht in which to view the Property Qualification . Was it not infamous in the . extreme ? Should it not be abolished ? To touch
now upon another matter , some one had alluded to the expenses of Mr . Thompson ' s election being not altogether liquidated . Now ,. Would it not be well if the Parliamentary Reformers added the principle of " Paid Representatives" to their programme ? With the Vote by Ballot , and Paid Representatives , they would hear no more of such ignominious questions as election expenses . ( Hear , hear . ) Being himself a metriber of the council of the Association , he was anxious for its success ; and therefore he recommended the addition just named . ( Cheers . ) When the working classes had come forward so cheerfully to aid that movement , concessions should be made to their wishes ; and no effectual reform could be carried out without the principle of "Paid Representatives . " Mr . . Reynolds
then proceeded to defend Chartism and Chartists against the flagrant misrepresentation of the press , and against the obloquy which had been thrown upon them : he declared that the- Chartists were not spoliators nor depredators , but honest , intelligent ^ and oppressed working men , demanding their just rig hts . The prejudices against Chartism were beginning to be dissipated in many quarters where it was desirable for its principles to be better known . Mr . Reynolds then passed in review tho events of the continent , in order to show that the people had always and everywhere been magnanimous , generous and humane ; whereas , kings arid aristocrats had as invariably and as universally proved themselves monsters of treachery , cruelty , and bloodthirstiness . There was " a party of order " . in
Europe which had got the upper hand for the present ; and had perpetrated unparalleled atrocities . This set of miscreants had been the cause of Hun ' gary ' s defeat and Italy ' s ruin : Kossuth , Mazzini , and Ledru Rollin—the most glorious ^ patriofcs of the age — ( thunders of applause ) ~ were exiles on account of the villany or the party " of order . Let the English , then , beware lest they , had their party of order here also ! The aristocracy would become such a party . of order , if the . ^ peop le ; would allow them . But to prevent such an appalling ' catastrophe , let the working and middle classes unite for the present , as fair as . they could , and as ' well as they might , in ' order to obtain refoinh : britlet hot the inUlions abandon for a moment the separate aritation which they were carrying on for their own
rights and their own interests . Oh the ; contrary , let them persevere in their struggle forthe People ' s Charter—a struggle in whichhb ( Mr . Reynblds ) should heartily and unweariedly assist until the end . ( Mr . Reynolds sat down amidst" prolonged cheering . ) ' . The Chaibmak then put the resolution , which was carried unanimously and with acclamation . ¦ Mr " w . Williams , late mamber for Coventry , observed in reference to what had been said by Sir . T . Walmsley , ' though he should , did he consult his own wishes , never enter the House bf Commons again ; but when he recollected that-two-thirds of the House of Commons was made up of aristocrats and their connexions / arid that while that was the case there was but little hone of reformi ' mr tho
system of extravagance and corruption which , had grown up under the system , he should be ready to serve the people both in and out of the house if elected . He referred to the absence of many bf the metropolitan members from the divisions in favour of the several reforms proposed last session , and advised the people of all classes , as the most effectual mearis of obtaining * full and fair representation of the feelings arid interests of the country , to unite in supporting the Parliamentary and Financial Reform Association . Mr . G . ; Thompson thanked the riieeting for the renewal of thejr confidence , arid moved a vote of thanks to the chairman , / which , having been seconded , was carried unanimously , and the meeting broke up .

' : The deputation >; consist ? dr : of-Wv ESinson , Esq .,-H T .. Atkinsqn , Es . and Sir P Knowles , Bart .... The-apaciqns ; 1 building ; w « s densely crowded in every part ,. . and . hundreds ; were unable to effect ah entrance . ,. ., . .. . . ; . , i . The Ma tor , having taken tho . chair amid considerable applause , observed that one of tho . principal subjects which would be brought before the meeting the of taxation
durin » tho evening was question . This was a subject , he said , which they were positively obliged , to some extent , to understand , for it was a subject that would form acquaintance with them , in sp ite of their will , to the contrary . Taxes met them as they entered the world—stuck to them throu gh life-and followed them to the grave . Ho was happy to find that an Association had at last sprun" up for the purpose of forcing upon the government theadoptibri of something like economy . ( Great app lause . ) - ' = ¦ ' ,.. , / , ; V Mr Alderman Hammono moved ; the first resolution — " That the present . excessive taxation of the country paralyses commerce , depresses agriculture , and impoverishes the labouring ^ classes . " Ho was sure that they must all bo perfectl y satisfied that the enormous taxation under which this country laboured was one of tho principal causes of the paralysis of commerco in Yarmouth , and that the shiopin" and fishing interests of the town were also
extremely depressed from the same cause . ' min respect to the depression of agriculture , he must , confess that the prices . which , the farmer obtained for his produce were exceedingly low ; but he maintained that the farmer could grow his wheat at 20 s . a coomb if the taxation of the country were , reduced and equitably adjusted , and if the landlords reduced their rents in the same proportion . : ' . ( Hoar ; hear ; and applause , in-the midst bf-which a voice " was heard , "And tho parsons too . " ) Yes , ani } tl } e clergy too , oug ht to do their part , and . thenthe far . r , mers might live well enoug h with flour . at the . price it was . As to the fact : that the labouring glasses were greatly impoverished by the present rate -tf taxation , he thought it was self-evident that the poor could not live with comfort and convenience to themselves * while they paid so dearly to keep up the sinecures and pensions of the rich . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Hammond then concluded by moving the resolution which he had read . -. ' .- '' ' /
..., ,, Mr . Jackson expressed : his . conviction that the measures proposed by the National Reform Association were eminently calculated to promote the interests of the whole community , for . if the expenditure of the nation were reduced ten millions , he should like to know if any man would have the audacity and the impudence to tell him that it would confer no benefit on the labouring classes . ( Applause . ) Mr . Jackson entered into a brief exposition 01 the evils of indirect taxation , and concluded by advocating the rig hts of the people to a fair representation in the Commons House ot
Parliament . -. ¦; , ¦ ' .,. ; W A . Wilkinson , Esq ., supported , the . resolution ' He proceeded to state the object of the Reform Association , " to obtain a cheaper and better government . " He showed that amongst the population of this country there existed at the same time the two extremes of the greatest affluence and the greatest poverty in the world , and concluded that althoug h no act of parliament could be passed that would make all the poor people rich , it was nevertheless quite possible for the legislature tb put them in a condition to help themselves , by taking off the statute hook many of the obnoxious laws that now existed . ( Great applause . ) With respect to thetaxation by which the country : was oppressed , ho
remarked that they all felt the weight of the burden ; but there were some evils attached to the system which they might , not have observed , because they were not so patent . Amongst those he mentioned the effect of tea duties , which not only restricted the home consumption of that article , but also prevented our sending to China a larger share of our manufactures . The duty on tobacco , he obscrvcbVwas attended with the same evil consequence . In allusion to tho window taxes , he stated that an association in London , for improving the dwellings of the labouring classes , had erected a large building for their accommodation , but . was firevontcd from further carrying out this benevoent object in consequence of the weig ht of this tax , which fell as heavily as it could do on any of the palaces of the nobility . " ( " Shame ! shame ! " ) If ,
however , they were to complain of this to the Chancellor of the Exchequer , the answer would bo that he could not afford to rescind the tax , his expenditure running so closely on his income . But how was it , he asked , that . the Chancellor of , the Exchequer was in such a position -as this ? ,,. Why , because of the shameful extravagance of tho government . As an instance of this extravagance ,, he referred to the standing army bf 30 < 000 men ' maintained in Irelaridi merely to keep the people down ; but that , he said , would not have been necessary but for the long course of misrule to which that unhappy country had been subjected . ( Great applause . ) Mr . Wilkinson then concluded with an earnest appeal to the middle and working classes , to unite , in this movement , and to co-operate with the IJatibrial Reform Association . He then sat down amidst
loud and general applause . Sir . F . Knowes , Bart ., rose also to support the resolution . He said that parliamentary reform was needed as a means of obtaining financial reform ; for the House of Commons was at present kept up by a system of corruption and patronage . He pointed out at some length the evils which resulted froiri the laws of primogeniture and entail , the only remedy for which , he said , would be found in the people ' s taking their affairs into their own hands ; arid concluded by a few words to the tenant farmers , observing that theymust look for an improvement in their condition in a reduction of rents and taxation , and the granting of leases on long terms . ( Cheers . )—The resolution was then put and carried—one individual only dissenting . .
Mr . Owlbs moved the nfext resolution . ; He . said if they wanted financial reform , how many riicmbers of the House of Commons did they think would vote for it ? -Only about eighty , although the house comprised between six and seven hundred . (" Shame 1 shame ! " ) This resulted from the operation of the qualification clause , which allowed property to be represented , but kept out the industry , by means of which that property had been accumulated . , ( Great applause . ) The treasures obtained by tbe energy and perseverence of the industrious classes were heaped up in the coffers of the rich , and then / ' when their ' labour was / done , they had nothing but'the prospect "bf a union before their eyes ; they had no friends to get them a
pension , as Lord Denbigh tried to do for the servants of the Queen Dowager . ( "Shame , shame . " ) Yes , it was a shame ! , Was . thisthe time , he asked , to begin feeding any more drone bees at the expense of the public ? He should be sorry to say . a word that would be disrespectful to the memory of the late Queen ; but he held that it was an insult to the people of this nation to ask them to provide for the servants when the mistress received no less than £ 100 , 000 a year . ( Great applause ;) in conclusion , he would advise those whom he addressed not to seek parliamentary reform ^ without financial , nor financial without parliamentary , and not to . be
content with both even without the ballot . ( Great applause . ) He begged most heartily to move the following resolution : —" -That whilst this meeting entertains the strongest conviction of the urgent necessity for a great reduction in the expenditure of the nation , and also for a-revision of the system of taxation with a view , to the more equitable adjust ' ment of its . burden , it is of opinion , that theso , important objects will not be permanently / speared , Or a good and economical kovernment ^ Qbl & iieu , until such a measure of . parHameritary . refor ' m , haB been effected , as shall give' the people a '' direct control over tbe taxes which they are bailed upon to pay ; ( Great cheers . ) ¦ ; v . ; . v . i-r * W ; . -:
Mr . C . Barber seconded the resolution . '¦'¦' ' *< ¦' ¦¦'¦ Mr . T . Atkinson . supported the reaolutibri , ' and congratulated the ' meeting ' on having their chief magistrate presiding on so important an occasion . ( Three , hearty cheers were here [ given for the mayor . ) Mr . Atkinson then made an eloquent allusion ; to the part taken by the town of ' Yarmouth during thecivil wars of ' Charles L ; and asked if the germ of liberty was fostered " so well * in' Yarmouth in theso davs , -what ought Yarmouth to do now to preserve the freedom which had at * length been gained , and . to help forward the cause of the people for the , future ? In reference to the inconsistencies . which characterised bur present system of pariiaraenfary-representation , he stated ; that in the borough of Calne there wese in 1847 , 1 CS voters , returhlng one member to parliament ; the number of houses in the borough rated to the poor wi " i 1 003
and the population 5 , 100 ; whilst"" Salford — a borough created at the time of the / Reforhr Bill--which . was a place of considerable ; wealth and a manufacturing town ,. had , 2 , 602 voters , returning only one . member to parliament , whilst the number of houses rated " , was 14 , 807 , arid the population no less than 66 / 624 .

Marylebone. —A Brute.—A Sullen Looking M...
MARYLEBONE . —A Brute . —A sullen looking man , named Arthur Staveley , was placed at . the bar before Mr Broughton on , the charge ' of having brutally assaulted Eleanor Staveley , his mother , a poor old woman , nearly seventy years of age , residing at No . 13 , William-street , Hampsteaa > road —The appearance of the complainant excited the commiseration of all present ; her eyes were both blackened and much swollen , and , her nose , and mouth were also bruised to a considerable extent . —The , evidence wont to show that the prisoner , who for some time had been at Leeds with his wife and four children , left them and came up ten weeks ago to his mother , by whom he was kindly and affectionately received . He , however , knew not
how to estimate rightly her good feeling , and was continually getting drunk , when he invariably demanded money of his poor mother , who , fearing that her life was in danger , had upon many occasions given him almost the last penny which she possessed . On the previous evening ( Sunday ) he pinned her behind the kitchen door and there beat her most unmercifully , and on her screaming / out " Murder" as loudly as . she was able some lodgers came to her assistance . She was then , rescued while blcedirig profusely from the mouth and face ; and the prisoner , after a determined resistance , was conveyed to the station house by two police . constables , whom lie resisted violently , and attempted to wreak his vengeance upon with a heavy pair of tones . It further appeared that the prisorier was
about two months ago charged at this court with attempting , to strangle a man , and that he had also been fined for assaulting his wife , at Leeds ,. ; from which place she and her young family were , about to be passed to London . —Mr . Broughton very properly designated the offence as being one of a most brutal character , and fined the prisoner in the full penalty of £ 5 , in default of payment to be sent to the House of Correction for . two months . The magistrate also gave him to understand that in tho event of his being brought up before him again , for a similar outrage upon his mother he would probably , in addition to a heavy fine , be called upon to find , security for his good behaviour for a periodof two years , —The brutal fellow was then locked up . MANSION-HOUSE . —OmniousLaw .
—Theconductor of a Camberwell omnibus was summoned before Alderman Humphrey for having refused to admit a gentleman as a passenger into his , omnibus . The public were interested in the result of the case . — A few days ago , at a quarter before five o ' clock , the complainant went to the door of the . omnibus , being desirous of being driven , as far as Walworth , and requested the conductor to allow him tb enter . Tho evening was wet , but the conductor refused to admit the applicant , and excused himself upon the ground that all the seats were engaged , at the same tiirie that there / was abundance of room in the vehicle . Tho complainant represented the unfair ^ ness of the refusal , and determined to have the decision of a magistrate , upon the subject . He admitted that there was no . incivility or
disrespect in the words or manner of the defendant beyond the mere rejection , but he thought the principle of ''first , come first serred" ought not to . be transgressed in such a manner , and although ho was subsequently ; offered the . accommodation he . required , he would riot accept it ,, except as a recognised right . —Alderman ' Humphrey : We know it ' is frequently the case that gentlemen who „ reside . in Camberwell , and . who are accustomed to leave the City at a certain hour , and in the habit of considering that the conductors will keep places for them , in preference to strangers , who may , for what they know , only require to . go " the short journey ,-and , therefore , . only / pay tho sriiall fare . ' . A gentleman who regularly takes a seat . in the defendant ' s orii ' nibus stated that the defendant was certainly
expected by his regular " whole of the way' customers to keep seats for them , especially in wet weather , during which , alone the passengers to Walworth or tho neighbourhood bf the Elephant and Castle were disposed to ride . The expectation was a , very reasonable , one ' both as regarded the Camberwell passengers and the proprietors of the carriages ; and if some rule of the kind were not acted upon , very great inconvenience would be inflicted upon those who . had the most unquestionable claim . —The conductor , said , as had been stated , that the gentlemen who were in the habit of favouring him certairily looked to him for the . security , of their places , and gentlemen * who resided at only half . the distance shunned the omnibus in fine weather , and eagerly seized the seats when the rain was pelting .
He had acted upon the , feeling that the / . ' whole of the , way" passengers were entitled to the / first consideration , but he neyer attempted tb oppose the entrance of aperson who was going the half-fare distance if there happened to be room . —Alderman Humphrey ; The conductor . is certainly in , the wrong , although his defence is the most reasonable that can be made . He , cannot refuse to aliow an unexceptionable person into his omnibus , provided that person do not object to pay . ' , the amount announced inside ' the vehicle ., This is certairily hard upon the geritleinen who are accustomed to go all the / way , , and upon the proprietors too , who are obliged to ' accommodate a casual passenger , -probably to the great ; inconvenience bf ' ah established customer ; but there is no doubt as to tholawupon
tne subject . —Several ot . tne , regular :. Camberwell passengers expressed surprise , and regret that the accotnmodation ^ which they thought they , had a right to ] expect was liable , to be seriously / diminished ; by the . intrusion of a threepenny , or foui > penny fare . They wished to know , what they were to do if in wet weather the short , passengers should moriopolise their places ?—Alderman . Humphrey : You must do as I do . When I want to go to Wandsworth , which is a shilling fare , I run for . it , and get irito the omnibus . about five niinutes . before the time / and' I often get a / seat just before a passenger to Vauxhall . arrives ;' . ' ( A . laugh ' . )/ , / . ' ! / admit that what ypu coriiplain of / is a very , disagreeable alternative , but * to givetoi an omnibus conductor , such a power as that which has been in ' this case assumed
would be productive / of much . more serious byij . As the conductor has not been uncivil , and as I am convinced the , complainant does , hot wish , for the infliction Of a penalty , , 1 shall merely / require , the conductor to , pay , . the expenses of the summons . — The Complainant : I do not b y any : means wish for , tho infliction of a penalty . I am quite satisfied at the decision pf thealdermari , who full y admits the principle , for , which" ! contend , and I shall riot take from the conductor the amount of ' the expenses hi burred by . the examiriatiori of the case . ., ' .
