J . T ^ lXTS ASD 31 b . "WEST . —The following is the letter noticed in onr last , as having been received from llr . J . Falvey , one ofthe "bought and sold" tools ofthe labour-depressing League , and which he lias sentus to " correct / " as lie says , one or two trifling inaccuracies in the report of the Itothtrham Discussion , lately inserted in the Star . We give it , because we can afford fair-play to every man—and because we are y . ishfhl toshow 31 r . Falvey and bis pay-masters , the league , that though Viey act with shameless injustice towards their opponents , hunting them down like - . did beasts ofthe forest , closing on them every avenue of livelihood they can at all command , yet their « ppoueiits wm not retaliate in a like spirit , but permit even
ifce most despicable ot the " hired tools " to set himself right , when he only fancies himself aggrieved . To this end we giveJir . Falvey ' sletter , as foudv .-s : — "In your paper of the 4 th instant I noticed what was termed a . ' report of a discussion between 3 Ir . "West and myself , at Eothexham . 1 take it for granted that my opponent sent that report . "We diner , however , as to names ; for I term it an enormous fabrication . To give you as little trouble as possible , I will only notice a few misstatements , -wliich may bo set at rest by unanswerable evidence . It is not true that I was sent for to the south for the occasion . I went home from the south of my own accord , to spend , as is my custom , ¦ She Christmas holidays with my family . It is not true that Jlr . ifachin 'took' the chair as stated in the
' report . ' The chair was taken by 3 Ir . John Evans , It is not true that the chairman charged me with introducing * extraneous matter 'into the discussion , as the foUoiring letter from that gentleman will fully substan--date , and which , I trust , yon-wBl dome the justice of inserting in your next impression . I would have sent it last week , but it did not come to hand in time . My opponent ' s modesty , delicacy , honour , and honesty , I leaveinthehandsof those who happened to be present at the meeting . 1 am , Sir , yours respectfully , J . Falvey . " ThefoBowingis the letter aUuded to in Mr . talvey ' s note . We may observe , that it is sent to us in Mr . Falvey ' S handwriting , with a line atthe top to say that it is " a true copy . " This alone ie calculated to arouse suspicion . It bespeaks that the sender is conscious
that he is deemed by somebody or another capable of falsify ing ^ nch a document , and he takes the trouble of assuring them that he has not done so in this particular instance . A conscientious , honourable mind would have been content to send the copy , without teeming fc necessary to parade most ostentatiously that he had done so "truly . " However such as it is , a " true" oopy or untrue , here is the note : — " Your letter addressed to Hr . Badger of Rotherham , dated the Stbinst , was placed in my hands yesterday morning justaslwas leaving Botherham for town , and hare lost do time in replying to it at hU request , Mr . "West in his report to the Northern Star , yoil say , has alluded to me as chairman charging you with introducing ' extraneous matter into the discussion' at Jtotherham .
1 beg to state , for the information of Mr . 'West and all whom it may concern , that the charge is untrue . On the contrary , I expressed myself much pleased at the manner and spirit the discussion had been treated by both parties . I am , yours truly , John Evajjs , Chairman . " Such , then , are the " corrections" sought to be made by Mr . Falvey . "What a - "'fuss "—for nothing ! Hr . Falvey was not "sent for "—he happened to drop into Rotherham just "inthenickoftimti " all " ofhisown accord . " So , no ; not so ; such is onl y the inference Mr . Falvey wishes to be conveyed : while the real correction is , that he was not sent for from the southbut only from "home , " where he had gone ofhisown accord to see his family . The chair was not " taken " by Mr . ilacnin—but was "taken" by Mr . John Evans J 'What a tremendous error onr Reporter made ! He
was handing j & t . Machin down to fame , when the right person was Mr . John Evans . The Chairman did not say that Mr . Falvey had introduced " extraneous matter" into the discussion : so says Mr . Falveyand so says Mr . Falvey for Mr . John Evans . But neither of them say that the Chairman did not decide that Mr . Falvey was out of order in attacking the Northern Star , and in'indulging in gross personalities against Mr . VFest . Mr . Falvey has learned the art of " sailing near the wind " : but folks may sail too near , and thus dtieat their own purpose . The " modesty , delicacy , honour , and honesty" of Mr . west may safely be left in the hands of the Botherham audiences ; while the readers ofthe Northern Star will have some opportunity of judging of Mr . Falvey ' s peculiar characteristics from the above " taste of his quality , "
Tee Tribes of Sheffield asd Me . Ward . —A correspondent tt Sheffield writes ns as follows : — " The correspondence tliathas been going on between the Trades ' Delegates and our M . P ., Mr . Ward , has at length come to an issue . The preliminaries are nearly completed for a discussion on 'The merits and demerits of Trades' Combinations and Short Time . * The masters were first challenged , bnt they declined . Of comse tfcey Lave no objection to their pet Member having a dust with the men . The discussion is to take place in the Cutlers'Hall , on "Wednesday , January 29 th . Dr . Holland is proposed to take the chair , on the part of the delegates . Should that gentleman decline , the Corn Law Ithvmer , Mr . Elliot , is to be in reserve . There is to be an equal number of tickets on both sides . The delegates have selected twenty of their ablest men to do their work ; but it is rumoured that at their next meeting they will reduce them down to about seven . " - —Of this arrangement we are glad to
hear . It cannot fail to be of service to the ttluSC Of Labour , if the Trades delegates are judicious in then * choice of disputants . They have a "practised debater" to deal with—one that has seen a good number of " dodge * " tried , and snecessfnny , when fair-sailing would nut answer . The men ought to have advocates who can detect and" expose anything of that sort , should it be attempted ; men who , like John "West for instance , have met the Malthusian Philosophers in debate beforetimes , and have learned to distinguish between plausibility and sound argument . Mr . Ward is a rigid Malthusian . His whole battery of " arguments" are derived from that school ; and it will require some one who has deeply studied both sides of the question to follow him thoroughly , and show where his philosophy fails . This is an important point ; one -thaX -we trust -vcffl -not "be overlooked . If it IS not , the discussion will do immense good ; if it is , it had better have been let alone . We caution the Trades' delegates to be mindful and watchful .
Tje Hon . J . Tollehache asd Laud Allotment * It is with sincere pleasure Oat we publish , the Mowing unsought for testimony to the kind dis position and right feeling ofthe Hon . Mr . ToUeniache , whose interference with the unwarrantable proceedings of his steward to defeat his own intentions regarding the aUotments of land to the labourers in and around Mottram , we lately made public , and whose further - interference we specially invoked , to prevent an act of gross injustice being done by the said steward to Robert Wild , in preventing Mm
irom having " a bit of land" because he had been most active in bringing the conduct ofthe steward under the notice of his master . We have not since heard how the Mottram affair has been settled ; bnt , notwithstanding , we give the following , which redounds much to the honour of thehon . gentleman ; and we trust to be shortly enabled to report favourably of his conduet in the Mottram case . Our correspondent says : — "My object in writing is to give you facts , as I know them , of the Hon . J . Tollemaclie , who I am sorry to find , according to a letter in the Star of Jan . 11 th ,
k at daggers drawn with his steward about letting & nfl iu allotments to the operatives on An estate of his at Mottram . The same gentleman holds an estate adjacent to Ipswich ; and I can vouch for his being in tavour of aUotments . To prove this , I know that to ° "cry labourer upon this estate he has let half an acre ; ^ d , what is more , where cottages were wanted on the « nd , he built them at his own expense . Grumbling ^ dthreatenings have been rife amongst the farmers ^^ ont it ; but by taking an independent course , the boa . gentleman has secured a soke and a " stake in »« hed ge" to all Ms labourers . This is not all .

The Xatueal asd Inevitable Wab of the Pooa and the Bich . —We commend the following , received from a correspondent at Heywood , to the gentlemen of the Weekly Chronicle ; particularly Mr . Cotton Twist ; and that other sensitive gentleman , who , a fuw weeks ago , was bawling _ out for the " revered and ruptured " ghost of Canning to come and help him to " put down" Jacobinism and the Northern Star . —Heywood —Capital versus Labour . —At a time when there is such a Struggle going on between Labour and Capital , we think it our duty to inform our friends of the doings of the employers and employed of this , a purely manufacturing town . Wejiave been often told by the members of the League , by their lecturers , and particularly in the letters of CoHon Twist , that good trade iuvariablv
brings high wages . But whether there be good trade or bad , we find from experience that the labourers can at best only maintain then * rate of wages , or obtain an advance by turn-outs , strikes , Ate , which often throw them into debt , and brings an amount of misery about their homes which takes months , and in too many inetances years , to clear themselves of . Nor is this aU reductions of wages , even in times of " good trade , " are much more common than advances . To prove this , we have only to state , that in this town , when trade is as brisk as it was ever known to be , an attempt has been made , on the part of J . H . Kay and Sons , to reduce the prices paid to their weavers , by putting four additional picks to the inch , without giving a conesponding advance in the price . In consequence
of this , the weavers in their employ , on the 23 rd of December last , turned out for an advance of five farthings per cut ^ -which , on an average , would make about one shilling per week difference in their wages . This turn-out still continues without any prospect of its present termination . The weavers of the various mills in the neighbourhood , and the public in general , have supported the turn-outs up to the present time ; though a great deal of- intimidation has been used to prevent the working people subscribing , particularly in tiie mill of Mr . W . Hartley , where the manager demanded the money that had been collected , and threatened to discharge the parties who had it in their keeping , if they did not comply with his request . This led to a turn-out , which lasted upwards of a week .
Mr . H . having found that there were a few independentminded men in Ids employ , who dared to express their opinion upon the unjust proceedings of his manager , has thought proper to discharge tlieiri . It is a fact , too notorious , that if they find they have a man in their employ who dares to hold an opinion , and express it , he immediately becomes a " markedman ; " is thrown out of employment ; and in too many instances reduced to beggary . The manufacturers here , finding Mr . Kay ' s weavers did not evince any disposition to return to then" employment , except on the conditions they at first demanded , called a meeting of their body on Friday evening last , which was held at the Queen Ann Inn , Heywood , at which certain resolutions were passed , the purport of which appeared in the following placard ,
which was posted m their lodges and in tlic various mills on the following day : —( CopyJ— " To the work-people tit our employ . —At a meeting of the millowners of Heywood , and the neighbourhood , held at the Queen Ann Inn , this day , to take into consideration the nature of the turn-out at Messrs . John Hilton Kay and Son's mill , we unanimously resolved that a deputation , which was then agreed upon , should go over to Ashton and Staleybridge , for the purpose of ascertaining the prices paid by the millowners there , embarked in branches of business similar to Messrs . Kay and Sons , as well as if the amount of wages paid by John Hilton Kay and Son were less than those paid at such places , they be recommended immediately to raise their wages to the amount there paid for the same kind of work ; but if the deputation should find that Messrs , Kay and Son ' s wages already equal in amount those at Ashton and Staleybridge , that Messrs . Kay and Son ' s weavers
should be apprised of the fact ; on being acquainted with wMch , should they still refuse to resume their work on similar terms , ice will stop our weavers and spinners from working , until the resumption of work b y the turn-out weavers of Messrs . Kay and Son ' s . Witness our hands , this 17 th day of January , 1845 . " Here follows the names of twenty-two millowners , being the whole , with the exception of three , that there are in the town and neighbourhood . From the above the weavers may see that it is the determination of the manufacturers that there shaU not be any advance in wages , and that if those who are now out , persist in their demands of five farthings per cut , the whole of the mills are to stop . Should this scheme of the millowners lead to are-enacting of the scenes of 1842 , the country -win have evidence sufficient in their printed bill , signed by themselres , as to who the parties are who cause it .
J . Frank , JJewton Moob . —Vie cannot decide the mode to be pursued in the case he speaks of , but would recommend a letter of inquiry to the Secretary ofthe War-office . Let the letter simply ask for instructions how to proceed . W . Bell , Hetwood , ajjd Ambbose Hibst , Oldham . — Their letter has been handed over to the Executive , who will no doubt give the reasoning it contains all due attention . Hanlet asd Sheltojj Workiso-Meh ' s Hall . —We have received an address from the Committee appointed to devise means for , and superintend the erection of a public haU , for the use of the working men of Hanley and Shtlton ( Fotteries ) . The following is the pith of the address : — "We have resolved to erect a suitable
and commodious building , in which the workmen of these districts may meet from time to time , to discuss their grievances , whether social or political . It is , therefore , intended , that the hall shaU be used for general purposes . It is also intended that , as soon as practicable , there shall be connected with the said hall an elementary day school ; also a useful library and reading rooms : also to have lectures on science , history , and politics , and discussions on all questions that affect the interest of those classes who are called upon to bear an unequal share of the burdens of the state , who are at all times affected by any change that may occur in the progress of society . Such discussions to be conducted on the most liberal principles consistent with order and decorum . The lectures , school , and all appertainiiig thereto , to be under the direction and control of a committee , to be elected from the body of the shareholders , in agreement with
the rules for the government of the institution .- In furtherance of the fore-named objects , we , the Hall Committee , being shareholders , have purchased a plot of freehold land in the township of Hanley , the site being an eligible one , to the front of Market-street ^ and a deposit has been paid on the purchase ; on wMch site we intend erecting a commodious and comfortable building , -to he denominated a TVorking-Man ' s HaU . The methods which we propose to employ for the purpose of raising the necessary funds , are the taking out shares of five shillings each ; each shareholder to pay threepence per weok , per each share , until his share , or shares , be paid ; each shareholder to have a card whereon to enter his contributions , It is also proposed to raise funds by voluntary contributions , donations , and other means the Committee may think proper to adopt Joseph Heath , Secretary , Committee-room , Temperance Hotel , Miles' -banki Shelton , January 10 th ,
1845 . " The Ten-Hocbb ' -Bill Agitation , —On this subject we have received a small pamphlet , written by Mr . John Doherty , and wMch may be had at Grant ' s , 1 , PaMmall , Manchester , urging the revival of the Ten Hours ' agitation , and the necessity of petitioning Parliamant in support ofthe Bill , in the approaching session . With the general tenor of the pamphlet we fuUy agree , though we must be permitted to dissent strongly against the doctrine put forth at page 9 , that the factory-workers , when soliciting the assistance of the clergy and the medical profession , should let those classes know that they do not object to their chtldkes working—that in consequence of the " primeval curse" labour is the condition of existence for children as weU as their
parents , and that all thatis asked for is protection against too long hours of labour . Such doctrine as this , wc say , we protest against . The Ten Hours' Bill is good as farasit goes but it is only " a step in the right direction . '' We pbotest against all infant labobkand deny the justice of it , whether based upon fabled curses , or any other ground . Even the sentence— " In the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread , " cannot be strained into meaning the sweat of children . What it does mean is evident , without any straining— by labour all shaU earn the means of existence ;—not a class , or a section of the human family , but atl , without distinction . If Mr . Doherty would proclaim this doctrine , he would he doing more to advance the truth and the rights than by putting slavish apologies into the mouths of parents for the working of then ? little ones . With the following advice we cordially " concur : — " It may be objected , * If the Home of Commons pay so littleregard to thepetitions of the people , why petition them at all V
To this I answer , we do not petition from any hope that the decisions of the members will be materiaUy influenced by those petitions , but for the purpose of depriving our opponents ofa pre tence against us . For example , if you do not petition at all , the mill parry in the house will get up and declare , with the most cool assurance possible , that you do not want a Ten Hours' Bill , and that the proof is supplied by the feet , that few or no petitions have been presented m favour of it They niU then pretend to defend , you against what they are pleased to call the mistakes ot your friends . Bnt pour in your petitions upon them , short and decisive , but numerous , and you compel them to seek other grounds for their opposition than ' pure lore for you and your children , and you save our noble , able , disinterested , and virtuous Champion from the additional-labour of defending hiraeeit , after having combatted for you . Not only , then , should there be a petition from every separate mill , but tnere should be one from every sepwarte room- The more

petitions the better , no matter for eimer me length of the petition , or the number of signatures to each . / T . —His song for the United TradeswiUnot do . ; Hcos . —A master cannot "discharge" an apprentice , either on a week ' s notice , or on any other notice , on the ground that he is not strong enough for the trade . Nay , if the boy is constantly ill , bis master cannot so easUy " get rid" ofhim . When a master signs an indenture , he covenants to do such and such things : and he cannot be released from his covenant as long as the document is in existence . Before the document can be destroyed , all the parties to it must be willing , and give consent , or the magistrates must order it , on proper and sufficient cause being shown by either the master , the boy , or the parent or guardian . In the case referred to , let our correspondent insist on the master taking back the apprentice ; and if he refuses , summon him before the magistrates . They will soon " order" him to receive him ; for even they have not |
the power to cause the indentures to be broken on such a plea as that urged by the master in this case . If the boy behaves himself , and shows a willingness to do all he can to learn his trade , he is not to bo turned away because bis master thinks he has made a bad bargain . The late Italian Insurrection . —The foUowing letter from the noble exile , Joseph Mazzini , appeared in the Times of Friday : —Sir , —The enclosed is a literal translation of a letter written to a friend at Corfu by Anacarsi Xardi , a lawyer of Modena , one of the exiles who landed in Calabria with the brothers Bandiera , and died at Cosenzn on the 25 th July , 1844 . Nardi wrote it in the condemned ceU , twelve hours before his death ; and it breathes through every word such a calm , such a holiness of feeling , that l have no doubt you will gladly record it in your valuable paper . To me it seems that a cause for which such men as Nardi fly to death as to a happy dream must be a sacred one , and endowed with more chances of success than a
Superficial glance at the present may suggest ; but , whatever the opinions may be that youentertain on the subject , martyrdom will allow of no party feelings : and a honest unspotted man , who can live earnestly and die calmly for what lie believes to be the true and right , is in all times , and especiall y in ours , when theory and practice ' seem to be at perpetual variance , a sight for all striving men to strengthen their hearts with . The letter passed through the hands of the Neapolitan and Austrian Governments , and was transmitted by the latter to its Consul-Geneval in Corfu , in order io hare it handed over to Dr . Savelli , who received it on the evening of the 11 th of December , 1844 , four months and seventeen days after it was written . Exoria ( a Greek word , signifying exile ) is the name ofthe house erected by the exiled Dr . Savelli , in
the district of Covaeehiana , and where Nardl too was living . Dante is a boy , the first born of Dr . Savelli , to whom Nardi was godfather . The man who was in the habit of going on horseback to the Exori * is l'ietro Bouheciampi , who landed with the twenty exiles for the purpose of betraying them into the hands ofthe Neapolitan Government . He was born from a Greek mother and from a Corsican father . I am , sir , respectfully yours , Joseph Mazzisi . —To Signor Tito Savelli , Exoria , in Corfu . Dear Friend , —I write to you for the last time ; within twelve hours 1 shall be no more . M y companions in misfortune are the two brothers Bandiera , Bicciotti , Moro , Venerucci , Rocca , LupateUi , and Berti . Tour brother-in-law is exempted from tins fate , nor do 1 know to how many years he will be sentenced . Hemember me to your family , and all friends ,
as often as possible . If it be granted me , I will , before ascending to the Eternal , revisit the Exoria . Kiss for me my Dante and all your children . When you think proper you may make known this my fate at Modena and to my brother . Receive the affectionate remembrances of all my companions . I embrace you , and am yours , Nardi . From the condemned cell at Cosenza , 24 th ofthe 7 th month , 1844 . —P . S . —I write with handcuffs , and therefore my writing wall appear as if written with a trembling hand ; but I ani tranquil , because I die in my own country and for a sacred cause . The friend who used to come on horseback was onr nun . Once more , farewell . M . G . Cowlet . —We have seen worse poetry than his lines on the "Merry Days of Old ; » but though they contain something of truth , they contain more of error . The " warning Curfew" is not one of those associations ofthe past best calculated to cause us to regret
the departure of the " merry days of old . " The hoes might better suit a second edition of lord John Manners ' s poetical effusions . Addressing Communications . —Again we hav « to remind our friends of the mode of addressing communications . Several have tins week again sent their orders addressed to Mr . Hobson ; and . some correspondents inclose orders in fhtir packets of news . This is as it ought not to be . Orders so sent run great risk of not being attended to . Mr . Hobson desires to have nothing to do with those departments which do not belong to him . He wishes merely that letters and communications for the paper should be addressed to him . Several parties make then * Post-office orders payable at the General Post-office , instead of the Office , 180 , Strand . By remedjing this they will oblige . They have only to say that they desire their orders to be made payable as above , and to Mr . O'Connor , and their desires must be complied with .
Mb , League "tool" Falvet again . —A correspondent at Portsea writes to us , that the . notorious Falvey having visited this town , was challenged to discussion by a gentleman named Malcolm . Falvey at first accepted the challenge , but subsequently kicked up a row , and having the police in attendance , —an invariable ' rule with the cheap bread bawlers , —he had the impudence and "fairness , " to give Mr . Malcolm into custody , who was thereupon forcibly removed by the police . Next day large bills were posted over the town challenging Falvey to a discussion
ofthe question , " Would a repeal of the Corn-laws be beneficial to the working classes ? " Of course the League mouther did not accept the challenge ; he was , however , pretty well served out by the extra warm reception he met with at his next lecture . What a precious stock of impudence this fellow must have , to talk about" fan * play , " when ruffianism , and police brutality is all the answer he dares to make to the challenges given him by those who see through his sophistries , and rightly appreciate the villany of his heartless , scheming , conspiring employers 1
The \\ ronqs of the Poor . —At the Southwark policeoffice on Thursday , a decent-looking young man named Joseph Britten [ a " free born Briton ! " ] was charged before Mr . Cottingham with refusing to work in Christchurch workhouse . In reply to the charge the prisoner said that he had walked thirty miles on Wednesday for the purpose of seeking employment in London . On Wednesday night he was promised work at a place in Newgate-street if he called at an early hour the next morning . He accordingly went to the workhouse for a night ' s lodging , thinking they would aUow him to depart earlier than usual . They gave film nothing to eat wlien he entered at night , and wanted him to work two hours before they would give ftint his breakfast . He told the officer that he had work to go to , when he should have his breakfast given him . The officer treated him harshly , and gave him into custody . ReaUy this is a most infamous case . A poor man has no work : not to seek work is to be a vagrant , punishable by law : anxious for employment , the man walks thirty
miles—no joke with an empty stomach—to get work . He is so far fortunate that on his arrival in the " great wen , " he Is promised work next morning , on the condition that he comes early . He seeks workhouse shelter ; obtains it , such as it is , but no food , not . a crust , thoug h he had walked perhaps altogether not'less than forty miles . Next morning he wishes to be off to his employment ; but no , this " free-born Briton" is a prisoner . He must stay and work—work for the night ' s shelter he has had , work for two hours before breakfast . The man ' s newfound situation demands his immediate attendance , otherwise in all likelihood he loses it . But what care the petty tyrants of the workhouse ? Their business is to tcrture , not succour ; to insult , not aid , the unfortunate . Finding he will not do their work , these brutes give him into custody ; no doubt piously hoping that he may be committed to the treadmillas a " rogue and vagabond , " instead of being allowed to foUow a lawful occupation as an honest man . The magistrate refused to entertain the case , and discharged the man ,
telling him to make the best of his way to Sewgate-street . Very just ofthe magistrate ; but such justice will , we fear , be of small benefit to the poor man . This is the way the poor man is treated . Compelled to seek those who will " Gie him leave to toil ;" and then—hunted on all sides by the lmnions of power—denied liberty to toil when , with pain and suffering , work has been found . It is in the parish of C 7 irist-church where these things are done ! What an idea poor Britten must have of " the blessed dispensation of Christianity , " when in Christ ' s name these things are done ! Another Alderman Cote . — " Putting Down" with a Vengeance . '—In the Hampshire Independent appears a case of mag isterial atrocity , which , infamous as arc the record of some of our Metropolitan Courts , is but
rarely equalled , certainly never exceUed . A man named Wixliam Finlev , a fireman in a recentlywrecked steam-boat , was accused before Mr . Hulton , a Southampton magistrate , of entering the garden of one Mrs . Fry , and being seen to put his bandmpon her clothes-line . William Corbin , a boy , lodg ing at Mrs . Fry ' s house , stated that he foUowed the prisoner from the garden into the town ( Southampton ) where he lost sight ofhim ; that he then went for a policeman , and in ten minutes the prisoner was taken into custody at ahouse in Simnel-street . Finlei denied the charge , and caUed several witnesses , against whose characters not a word was breathed , who distinctly proved that at the very hour when the alleged offence was committed , he was at the public-house in Simnel-street where he was arrestedand where he had been for
, several hours before being taken into custody . This evidence to an ordinary just man would have been conclusive , but this precious justice Midas ordered the case to proceed . The report says : — " After some little consultation , Mr . Hulton , addressing Finley , said in this case there was a balance of evidence . The defence setup was what in law was caUed an alibi , which , rf good , was an excellent defence , but if bad , a very wicked one . They considered the case was proved against— --Finley : Excuse me , sir , but I could produce more witnesses ; if you would allow me , I mil wnd for ar ' Parrott , the landlord of the house , who could P rove-T Mr . Hulton : Listen to me , sir : I want not to see Mr . Parrott . The case has bwn proved to our satisfaction , and we must put an end to this robbery of gardens , U

[ possible , " which has been carried on to a great extent . You are one of those characters whom we must keep out of harm ' s way during the winter months , and the sentence is , that you be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for . three months . —The prisoner , who appeared amazed arid corifounded'at this severe arid unexpected sentence , wasthen ' removed from the bar . " Hear this sapient magistrate ; the defence set up was an " excellent defence" if "good" [ Qu . true } ; but if bad [ Qu . false ] , a very wicked one . " Yes , ass ; and if yonr sentence is "bad , " it is very " wicked . " If you
have punished an innocent man , what reparation can you , will you , make him . ? But was not the defence " good" ? The witnesses made bath , all agreeing in their statements , that the man had not been out of the house where he was arrested , for some hours previous to his arrest . This not being deemed satisfactory , the man ' offers to call other witnesses—Mr . Parrott , the landlord of the house , " who could prove "— "Listen to me , sir , " says the magistrate ; "Iwant not to see Mr . Parrott . Tfteenje lias been proved" ! 0 just judge !
Man , vain man dress'd in a little brief authority , Like an angry ape , Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven , As makes the angels weep ! And then listen to this blessed Cute : he will put down garden robberies . What matters it to him whether poor Fini-e y is innocent or ginlty ? Nothing . Gardens have been robbed : such robberies Ccte is determined to " put down ; " and therefore he packs poor FlNLET off to prison for three montiis , hard labour , to keep him out of "harm ' s way during the winter months ! " And then , sago justice , he is to be turned out , we suppose , when spring comes , a branded " gaol bird , " to thrive or starve : a Will Fekn , ' to lire farmyards ! The prisonenvas , we are told , " amazed and confounded at his unexpected and severe sentence . " No WOllder ! So must every one present have been , unless
indeed . such sentences are every-day work with Mr . Hulton , which is more than likely . ' What will Sir James Ghaium say to this worthy ? Will he not remove him from the magistracy ? We fear not . But what will the people do ? \ Ve mean not the pot-bellied shopoevats , but the veritable people—the poor ; the class who are the victims of such bloated fools and knaves as thisllulton . What they should do is , to labour with all their might for a control over the Government through the medium of legislative power : for never until they have that power will they be protected from such gross injustice as that above depicted . This case is another of the daily occurring proofs ofthe ineviUMe and eternal war of the rich and the poor . " The class dominancy of the rich must be " PUT DOWN ! " Until that be , there will be no justice for the many ,

George Stewart , the Vauxliall-tavern , Ashted , and continued , by adjournment , on Tuesday morning , 'touching the death of Thomas Davison , aged 64 , a police-omcer in the employ of the Grand Junction Railway Company . The party accused was a young
man named Thomas Ault , the son of John Ault , carrier , Spon-lane , who was present during the inquiry , though not in custody . The fii-st witness examined was Mr . James Vardy , who said the deceased was a policeman , on night duty , at the gate of the goods station of the Grand Junction Railway Company . About half-past eleven on the night of the 20 th December , Ault came with a waggon-load of glass from the works of Chance , Brothers , and Co ., at Spon-lane . A regulation had been made by the Grand Junction Company not to admit earners' teams later tlian eleven o ' clock ; and whilst he was telling the driver that he could not be admitted that night , Mr . Eborall , the chief manager of the Grand Junction Company at Birmingham , came up . On the nutter being referred to him ( Mr . E . ) , he told the
driver that he could not go down to the shed that night ; but as he had come a long distance , he might bring his goods inside the premises and lay them down by the side of the wall . Mr . Yardy and Mr . Eborall then left the gates and went to the goods shed , and in a few minutes a porter , named Robert Crisp , came to them , saying he was afraid Davison was killed by Ault , s waggon . Mr . Vardy ran to the spot , and found the waggon thirty paces from the gate on the road to the shed . The deceased had been run over in Ms endeavours , to stop the waggon from proceeding to the shed contrary to Mr . Eborall ' s orders . The deceased said to Ault , " You did it on purpose , " and continued to say , that when he ( Davison ) remonstrated witli him , and kid hold of tho homes' heads , Ault
jumped on to the front of the waggon , and began whipping his horses , crying out to them , " Gee up , " several times . Robert Crisp and Mr . Eborall fully bore this testimony out ; and in addition the Rev . GeorgeS . Bull was called , who Stated , that 011 the day after the accident he attended the deceased , to administer to him the consolations of religion . He ( the deceased ) believed at the tune that he had oidy a few hours to live . Mr . " Hull took down a statement the deceased had made relative to the accident , which he gave as a dying man . He said— "Auld saw that I had hold of the-horses ' heads , when he immediately got to the front of the
waggon and began whipping and urging them forward I cried out when down , but he drove over me . " The deceased lingered until the 14 th of January , and then died , accorduig to Dr . . Charles Annesly's evidence , of the injuries received . Mr . Partridge , the solicitor , attended for Ault , and Mr . George Chance gave him an excellent character . The coroner summed up . remarking judiciously and impartially upon the very elaborate evidence as he proceeded ; and , after being in deliberation a quarter of an hour , twelve out of fifteen jurors returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Thomas Ault , " who was immediately given into custody , and committed to take his trial at the Warwick Spring Assizes . —Birmingham Advertiser .
Melancholy Death from Poisoning . —An inquest was held on Friday the lfth hist ., at Shiflhall , Shropshire , on the body of Mr . George Evans , hair-dresser , who died from poison administered by his mother under circumstances affording additional proof ofthe necessity lately so apparent for the adoption of some legislative compulsion of caution on the part of dealers in drugs . The deceased , it appeared , was labouring under violent nervous excitement , being in a state bordering on confirmed delirium tremens for some days previous to his death . With a view to procure an abatement of his sufferings , he sent his son , a boy aged about ten years , to a neighbouring druggist for two pennyworth of laudanum , the medicine he was accustomed to take for similar purposes . The druggist , who also combined with that trade the business of a grocer , had no laudanum at the time in the house , but sent the cliild for it to a neighbouring
surgery , where he obtained it in a teacup , and then proceeded home . The mother , ignorant of the fatal strength of the potion , gave it to her son , who swallowed it at a draught , and shortly after fell into a sleep , from which the application of the stomachpump and all the ordinary remedies failed to awake him . The agony of the parent , on finding that she was the unconscious instrument of her son ' s death , is described as being most poignant . The verdict of the jury was , "That deceased died by taking an excess of laudanum—viz ., two or more drachms . " Poaching . —A band of poachers , about ten in number , were met with on Saturday night , on the btoke estate , Herefordshire . The watchers were so severely beaten that they have been obliged to keep their beds ever since . On Monday five men were taken before R . B . Phillips , Esq ., at Hereford , and remanded till Mon day next .
