Ibavhave no time for personal interview ? . Eb . vest Jones . , . 3 . ; . S . T . —Yes , unless bnrfhened with a heavy family . jBcaBcHiBAiDliiGHTO ! . ' , Howortb . —The magistrates hare itiiitin their power to remit either the whole or a portion of i of parechial rates , where they are of opinion that the pai patties are not ef sufficient ability to pay . Apply to the ma magistrates . ,. W . W . D ., Bewsbnry . —1 st , yes , you can impound them an and keep them in the pound till replevied or damages pai paid . But you appeir to have lost this remedy . My OB Own Opinion , with all due deference to tnejudge . , th : that your remedy is against the owners of the cattle , as as U was las duty to have taken care of them , unles s tin they escaped through the default of a neighbour . 'SbaJhab . Fox . —Not having time for personal interviews , he go good enough to state your friend ' s case in writing , and
u if yoa have any original documents send copies of th them . ^ scl ' sos . Philips , Manchester . —Give me the name and ad . di dress of the lawyer who has the pedigree , and I wUl to write to him about it . I 1 stoTho . Whitehead , Newton-mt > re , Hyde . —I have written to M Mr Barrow . and trust he will pay proper attention to my le letter . If you hare stated your case correctly , it U qt quite certain there is no necessity , whatever , for your ts taking out letters of administration either to W . Daniel oi or any other person . liTnf n . Whitehead , TJpton-on-Severn . —Messrs Bird and J Holland hare not answered ray letter . Ask them if t they received it , and let me know . Biff * . Calvert . —The property devised by Richard Calvert t to his kinsman , John Calvert , was clearly devised to 3 John 'in fee ? John Calvert , consequently had the
j power to dispose of the property as he pleased and to v whom he pleased , hut whether he gave the fee to Jacks son is imposfiblefor me to say without seeing his ( John i Calvert' s ) will or a correct copy of it . ;* : * o . Jac & sos , OViuam . —Your salary for the year ISM k i oarred oy the Statute of limitations ; but I think you j may sue Sr Stump in the Small Debts'Court for your i -salary for theyears 1842 and 1843 ; W . Rowland for 1 lSil , andMr Lees for your salary for 1815 . 1 suppose i yoa continued your services throughout the above 1 period ; and were not given to understand that you ¦ were not to expect any salary by reason of the alleged ' ' non-existence of funds . ' Should the defendants setup i Hie plea of ' no funds , ' they will have to prove their ; plea ; and if you can prove tiie contrary yon may do so . So far as I canjaohjeofyonr case , it appears to me that the minister , churchwarden , and parishioners ought
all to be ashamed of themselves , to allow a poor man las you say yoa axe ) to perform sorites for them for severalyears without ginnghim the smallest remuneration for his services . GGeo & ge Misxell , n .-sr Bradford , Yorkshire . —I have a strong impression on my mind that I wrote to you some months ago , and that my letter was returned by the Post-office , marked' no such persan known near Bradford . ' The will yoa sent me , if I recollect right , was made more than 100 years ago , and the testator left aU his property to charitable purposes . Your former letter left me quite in tbe dark as to the nature of yon . * claim , and the grounds on which yon _ rested it ; upon ftase points you must furnish me with fall informa"tioa . TBavid Ikhah . —I believe I received the will ef Daniel King , and hope to be able before long to attend to
yonrcase , "Thoxas TassBSBB , Miner . —Yon had best write to'the ! Secretary at War , 'London ; and be may , possibly , be able to give you the information yon wish lor respecting your sister , Nancy Heaton ; and yet , as you do not recollect the name of her former husband , * who was eUDeu at Waterloo . ' the chances are against your getting any information about her from the Secretary at War . - James Johhsov , Manchester . —As the search forC . Clay ' s will may extend through several years , tbe fee wi * l be 10 s ; hut te search for the will of a person who it would appear has been dead near 100 years , wouldmostlikely be attended with no beneficial result H . S ., D . B—As yon appear to have a friend in the gentlemen you speak of in your late letter , I will , -with your approbation , write to him respecting your case . J . F . —The mother of tbe child must apply to the magistrates to cause the reputed father to restore her
child to her ; and she had best apply to the same professional gentleman she before employed , and he will get the order of the Court of Quarter Sessions enforced against the father . WittiAH PABKE ( orPJJtKHt ) , Redditch . —Yoa donotsaj whether the parties who claim tbe property of Matthew Wilkinson , claim it under his wiU , or as his coheirs at law ; neither do you say when he died . John * Paget , Bingley . —I am of opinion that Hoses and Sarah Smith , took as tenants in common in tail , with cross remainders , in tail between them ; and Sarah , having died without issue , and without "having barred the entail in her moiety ( at least , I presume , she did not bar it ) , her brother Moses became entitled to the entirety as tenant in tan , and he being dead , and without , I presume , baring barred the entail , his eldest son , Robert , is now tenant iu tail of the whole property . The w i ll i s bu t unskilful ly drawn , but I think the above opinion is agreeable to the sound constitution of it .

Mr Town then directed their attention to tho abject condition of the people , the cause of their suffering—the only remedy being that of a national combination of the trades , where the funds would be employed in the purchase of Land , the location of the surplus labourers , and the
establishment of manufactories . The old sytem of strikes and turnouts Mr Town regarded as being exceedingly pernicious , and utterly destitute of permanent good . The chairman , after other observations , introduced tho lecturer , who directed their attention , to the objects of the Association , the basis of its constitution , and demonstrated its practicability beyond di-pure .

To The Editor Of The Northern Star. Sin,...
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Sin , —An appeal has been made a short time since in one of the weekly journals , by Mr Samuel Jacobs , who describes himself as ' a member and missionary' of the above Association , ' to the members , delegates , and local officers , ' for justice or redress for the injuries inflicted by the Central Committee . A press uf other business has prevented me reply , ing earlier to the statements of Mr Jacobs . I have now to request that you will give insertion to the following answer of the Central Committee to Mr Jacob ' s allegations . In placing the true facts of the case before the ' members , delegates ; local officers , ' and the public , the committee foal that it is
quite unnecessary xo copy Mr Jacobs ' example in the use of harsh language or violent vituperation ; and they are quite content to leave the public to jud ge , after an impartial consideration of these counter statements , on which side the justice of the case is to be found , and who are the parties to whose conduct the terms . ' Vile shuffle , ' can be properly applied . Taking the statements of Mr Jacobs , it would appear that he had been induced by the Central
Committee , without any wish on his part , to abandon a comfortable and independent position for the situation of agent to the Association ; the fact , however , is , that previous to his appointment to that situation , in August , 1846 , Mr Jacobs had sent several letters to the . Central Committee , soliciting the appointment . He must have done so with his eyes open as to the relative value of the two positions , thai which he occup ied , and that which he sought , ami should have been prepared on taking the latter , for all the contingeKcies involved in such acceptance .
Mr Jacobs complains that while he was effectively discharg ing his duties among the trades of Scotland ' , he received a letter in January , 1847 , informing him that his wages would he reduced 2 s . a day , ' as Glasgow was his home ; ' and lie would have the arbi t ers to whom he refers , believe that thtrr was some injustice or hardshi p in this decision . What are the facts ? The rules allow 6 s . per day to each officer of the Association , engaged in thp transaction of its business ,, when these officers are at home , and 2 s . a day extra when so engaged at ;• . distance from their usual residence . Mr Jacob *
went to Scotland in August , 1846 . During the winter , his wife removed from Bristol to Glasgowthe expenses of which removal , amounting to upwards of £ 5 , were defrayed b y the Central Committee ; and it was . considered that Mr Jacob and family being thus altogether resident in Glasgow , he came under the operation of the general law applying to other officers . This resolution as to salary , however , only applied when Mr Jacobs wa s employed in and about-Glasgow , When he was en gaged in other parts of Scotland the extra allowance of 2 s . per day was paid as usual , together will his coach fares . Whatever Mr Jacobs mav call this
treatment , it is clearly the course which the Central Committee were imperativel y called upon 10 pursue , by the laws of the Association , nor will it appear to any impartial person that any hardship was inflicted on Mr Jacobs thereby ; when it is considered , iu the first place , that the Central Committee paid the costs of removing Mrs Jacobs , and that in- reality Glasgow was his home . The manner in which the duties of missionary were discharged could have no influence whatever on the decision of the Central Committee , who are bound to administer the laws of the Association as they exist . The principal ground of the appeal , however , is that Mr Jacobs considers he has been dismissed from the service of the Association without sufficient notice or compensation . Again , we must meet this statement by facts .
The first article of the constitution of the Association ( a constitution which Mr Jacobs in his capacity of delegate to the Conference of 184 C assisted in enacting ) provides that , ' The Association shall consist of those trades' unions and other organised bodies of the working classes that subscribe to its funds and conform to its rules . ' And by a subsequent rule it U provided tl \ ai tl \ e Central Commit - tee can appoint as agents only such parties as are bona fide members of a pay ing t rade , belougiug to the Association .
The trade represented by Mr Jacobs d d not comply with the requirements of the first article ( never having paid any levies ) and therefore Mr Jacobs was disqualified according to the laws , from filling the situation of an agent . The Central Committee were , however , induced by various representations , to believe that Mr Jacobs' trade would qualify itself acccording to the rule , and under that impression appointed and retained Mr Jacobs in the situation of missionary . On the 23 rd of March , whe » all hope that it would do so had failed , the Central Committee feU it to be their duty to forward to A ' r Jacobs the following resolution : —
Resolved ' that Mr Jacobs , trade not being nifmcu-ra of the Association in conformity with rulu , Mr Jacobs be Inf irniid th ' . lt the Central Committer will not consider themselves justified , in continuing his »<»¦ ncy unlets , hU irate complies with tha said rule within tlirte weeks from this period . ' Mr Jacobs requested the Central Committee to reconsider their decision , the rep ly to which was , that it saw no reason for altering it , and requested that Mr Jacobs would immediately make out his claims upon the Association to the above-named period . While this correspondence was going on , however , the Central Committee received a letter Irom Mr llollis ot Edinburgh , - the secretary for that district , requesting , on behalf of the trades of Edinburg h and its neighbourhood , that Mr Jacobs mi ght be continued as a missionary until the meeting of
the next Conference . To this request the Committee , after some hesitation , consented . In the communication to Mr Jacobs , in which this determination was conveyed , it was distinctl y intimated that tbe engagement was continued at the request of the trades of Edinburgh , only until Conference ; and Mr Jacobs must , therefore , have been fully aware that his agency would cease at that time . Mr Jacobs bad consequentl y from the 23 rd of March until the sitting of the Annual Conference in Whit w eek , to prepare for his withdrawal from the position of missionary j and the Central Committee cannot justl y be accused ot * either harshness or baste iu administering the laws of tbe Association with reference to this case . That they were comp l i ed by t he laws , to ask for his resignation is self-evident ; thai they went as far in mitigation of any inconvenience thai might thereby le occasioned to Mr Jaco ' tf , as
To The Editor Of The Northern Star. Sin,...
they . possibly could , is equally apparent , from tie facts now stated . But Mr Jacobs , instead of making a proper use of the notice of his approaching dismissal , av . d securing , as he ought have done , a situation before its expiration , had recourse to intrigues , by which be hoped to evade the law « , and retain his position . Rely ing upon a technical and lawyer-like reading of one oi the rules of the Association , Mr Jacobs—a cabinet maker—joined another trade , which had complied
with the rules—the coopers—paid some small sum to them , and trusted that he would thus he recognised as a bona fide member of the Association . Of course , the trick did not , and could not succeed . Mr Jacobs was duly dismissed from the service of the Association , after having had ample notice given to him , and he must have known that any alleged services after the breaking up of the last Conference , either at Manchester or elsewhere , were altogether unauthorised , and could not possibly be recognised by the Central Committee . Mr Jacobs attended the
Conference in his capacity of Central Coinmi * teeniani Immediatel y upon the election of the Commiitee for the current year , his connection with the Association , either as officer or . agent , ceasrd , because he was not , as the laws require , a member of the Association within the meaning and intent of the-e laws , and could no t , therefore , be re-appointed . Mr Jacobs went io Manchester from the Conference to please or suit himself ; the moment he informed the Committee that he had been engaged in trades' business in that town , the Committee
stated , that it was without any authority from them , and they did not recognise him as an Agent of the Association . He went from Manchester to Glasgow , in like manner to sui t himself , not by the request of the Central Committee , and according to his own statement , because the state of his wife ' s heal t h demanded hi s * presence . For what he has done among the trades in that town sinse the Conference , !!^ Committee are innowiseresponsible ; they are informed , however , that Mr Jacobs has been paid by at least some of the trades for his services .
With respect to the claim to be employed at his trade as a sacrificed member , it is clearly an untenable one ; the Association can only employ those who are bona fide members oi trades , in legal connexion with the Association . Mr Jacobs does not occupy . this position , therefore he cannot be employed . No amount of declamation or abuse can alter the facts or the position oi the Central Committee ; they are merely the acting trustees for the time being , for a number of trades who have committed to them the execution of the iaws they have mutually agreed to observe , and the administration of the funds they mutually subscribe .
In such position the only guide of the Central Committee must he the laws of the Association ; not their individual feeling , or the feeling of any other individual , as to what is right or wrong . The Committee are not aware of having been actuated by any other motive in this case but that of an earnest desire , faithfully and justly to administer the laws and expend the funds of the ' Association . They will , so long as they are honoured with a seat at
t he board of direction , continue to pursue the same course , confident that however it may be at times productive of individual cases of hardshi p , it is the onl y sound and permanent foundation for public confidence and support . I am , Sir , in behalf of the Central Committee , Your obedient servant , Thos . Barratt , Sec , Office of the National Association of United Trades , 11 , Tottenham-court-road , London .
