      Infamous Conspiracy And Denial Of Justic...

      INFAMOUS CONSPIRACY AND DENIAL OF JUSTICE . APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN AXD IRELAND AGAINST THE UNJUST JUDGES OF ENGLAND . Fellow Countrymen , — We entreat your attention to one of the greatest wrongs ever perpetrated upon an individual under the cover of law . " We shall

      recite the facts as calmly as the nature of those facts , the shameless injustice that has been committed , and the deep injury that-has been inflicted will permit ; and we appeal . to you for that sympathy and support which" the wronged and the oppressed ever look for from Britons . Impressed with a deep conviction that the independence and prosperity of the labouring classes of this country could belargelr promoted by the introduction of small proprietary estates , which is found to act so beneficiall y in Continental nations , Mr . Feargus O'Connor devoted his energies for some years , through the medium of this paper , to create a public opinion in favour of that system .

      It is not necessary in this appeal to state the grounds on which that conviction rests . It is sufficient to say , that the system has been advocated by many of the most profound and eminent writers on national economy—among whom we may name the illustrious Sismondi , and two of . the most practical observers and popular writers of our day , in England—Messrs . Laing and Kay . In Mr , Thornton's admirable work , entitled " A Plea for Peasant

      Proprietors , " the abstract arguments in favour of a wide diffusion of landed property among the population , will be found supported by an array of facts drawn from ancient history , and the present condition of several countries on tho continent . These facts are sufficient to convince any'impartial mind of the superiority of small estates , to a territorial system , through which the whole of the soil is monopolised by a few privileged families , and the remainder of the population aro reduced to dependence on them for employment and food .

      The result of Mr . O'Connor's labours to diffuse knowledge on this subject , was tho formation of a Society called " The Chartist Cooperative Land Society , " by a Conference of Delegates , held in May , 1845 . The object of that Society was to purchase land , erect dwellings and schools thereon , and to allot the same to members according to the shares held by them , and the arrangements mutually agreed to for regulating the same .

      The laws and regulations of the Society were framed on the model presented by another society ( the National Community Friendly Society ) , which had an extensive organisation —had been in existence several years previously—had purchased estates , and erected dwellings ,, and workshops upon them—and done all this under the sanctio n and protection of the law , being enrolled under the Friendly Societies' Acts .

      Of course , the Conference which drew up and agreed to the organisation and rules of " the Chartist Co-operative Land Society , " fully expected that the same sanction and protection would be extended to that Society as to that whose rules they copied . They never dreamed that , because they declared it was a " Chartist" society , they would , therefore , be denied a participation in the advantages of a statute enacted for the benefit of all classes and parties in the community .

      They were mistaken . " The Barrister appointed to certify the rules of Friendly Societies" refused to enrol the ^ ales , " precisely similar to those he had / formerl y sanctioned ; and the Government backed him . They brought in and passed a bill , restricting the powers of the existing law , rendering tbe action of the Registrar subject to the direetion of the Attorney-General , or the Solicitor-General and also requiring the consent of the Secret tary of State before enrolment . The object 3 theserestrictionswas andisevident . ThevweS aimed at an obnoxious political party / The Goremmeni and th * Legislator ^ pWfced their powers , and oppressed those XmXy ought to have protected ; y

      which such legalisation couldbe ohtalned-the Registrar under the Joint Stock Companies ' Act . In order to procure registration under that Act , alterations were made in the tirT « and rales ; a deed of settlement was preoar ^ and signed by the shareholders in all parts 0 f the country , at a great expense to the Com pany . All . the requisite documents were lodged with the Registrar , in . terms of the law , previous to complete registration .

      Again , they were denied Protection . On the pretext of the Company coming within tho purview of the Lottery Act , the Registrar refused to acknowledge the Company as a legal one . It was still doomed to remain exposed to all the injurious consequences of being an unrecognised , if not an illegal body . It could not iu its corporate capacity , legally purchase , or hold property , ft could not appoint trustees legall y competen t to hold nro .

      perty m trust for the members-i t could not grant legal leases , or execute legal conveyances to ^ urchaserg m fee siinpl e , _ fact [ t wag deteaceless : a prey to every dishonest or malicious person who might chose to take advan tage of its helpless condition , as far as the law was concerned . In the meantime , however , the Plan had found favour with the public . Members joined the Company , in all parts of the king dom bv hundreds and thousands . Funds poured in

      rapidly , and Mr . O'Connor and the Directors under the instructions , and by the authori ty of successive Conferences , proceeded to . purchase estates temporarily , in the name of that gentleman , to allot them to tho members in the prescribed quantities , and to build dwelling houses , schools , & c , for their accommodation . All this was done under the impression that the efforts they were making at so much expense and outlay to legalise the Company would ultimatel y be successful .

      Justice to Mr . O'Connor demands that it should be stated , that gentlemen strongly objected fc » the estates being bought in his name . It was onl y in consequence of the legal adviser of the Company stating , that in the meantime estates must bo purchased by an individual , and of the Conferences unanimously pressing that duty upon him , as the only person who possessed . the entire and unlimited confidence of the whole of tho members ' that he consented to take upon himself the responsibility . The unprotected state of the Company speedily produced its natural baneful

      consequences . It had no pow < r of compelling its shareholders to perform their engagements funds began to fall off ; the Directors were unable to complete engagements , or to proceed with that regularity and rapidity which was expected by those who had paid up their shares ; the absence of proper leases and conveyances had also an injurious effect on the minds of those located ; and thus , in consequence of the refusal of legal protection , discontent was produced , and the progress of the Company seriously impeded ,

      Under these circumstances , Mr . O'Connor resolved at last to apply to Parliament for protection , through a New Act , as it was alleged , the existing statutes did not afford it . On the 12 th of May , 1848 , he brought in a Biil "to alter and amend the Act of 9 and 10 Victoria relating to Friendly Societies . '; ' It consisted merely of two clauses , and extended the provisions of the Friendly Societies' Acts ; first to the National Land Company , and second ! to the Odd Fellows , and Societies similarly constituted .

      We may mention , in passing , that the Odd Fellows have since obtained protection by a special act , notwithstanding their being an affiliated body , with secret passwords ; the National Land Company is still beyond the pale ot the law , though all its objects and proceedings are open to the world , and such as must commend themselves to every honest and unprejudiced man in the country . Before the second reading of the Bill , brought in by Mr . O'Connor , came o n , Sir Benjamin Hall asked him if he would have

      any objection to a Select Committee being appointed to inquire into the subject , previous to the House being called upon to affirm the principle of the bill ? Mr . O'Connor replied , that if he found the Government intended to oppose the principle he would have great pleasure in adopting the suggestion of the hon . Baronet , because there was nothing he waa more anxious to secure , than & fall , strict , and searching investigation into the manner in which the business of the Company had been conducted , and its funds expended .

      Accordingly , having discovered the Government intended to oppose the bill , it was agreed , on the motion of Mr . O'Connor , on the 23 rd of May , 1848 , that a Committee be appointed , and on the 30 th the Commi ttee was elected . It sat for a Jong time ; examined witnesses on every question connected with the affairs of the Company ; appointed an eminent public accountant to investi gate the whole of it * accounts , and in every way sifted , not only the principle on which the Company was founded , but the whole of its proceedings from the commencement .

      Mr . Hayter , then Judge-Advocate , who presided on the part of the Government , displayed throughout an exceedingly hostile animus to Mr . U Unnor and the Company , and drew up a Report condemnatory of the plan , i » toto . Ifiiit Report was , however , negatived by a largo majority of the Committee , and a lieport agreed to , to be presented to the llouse of Commons , in which it was stated , that , though the Company was illegal , yet it had been entered into , and conducted bona fides by all connected with it . that so

      far from any imputation resting on Mr . O'Connor of a pecuniary character , it was proved that he had advanced several thousand pounds of his own money , and that his personal honour and integrit y were fully established by the investigation . The Committee , therefore , recommended either that the promotors should be allowed to amend the constitution of the Company , so as to bring it within existing statutes , or that facilities should be given for winding it up with justice to all parties .

      Keep in remembrance that the illegality of the Company had never beenldenied ; but , on the contrary , there had been a constant , earnest , and expensive series of efforts on the part of its Directors and members , - to procure legal protection . Government and Parliament had denied that protection , and then took advantage of their own wrong , Having thus amply vindicated his oxen personal conduct in the transaction , Mr . 0 '

      Connor , acting upon one of the alternatives offered by the Select Committee , again endeavoured to obtain Registration under tb Joint Stock Companies' Act . The constitution was amended in conformity with the requirements pointed out in the evidence of the Registrar himself in hia evidence before th « Committee , but still that officer refused to per-S / hV ? otlier cases » « merely a ministerial duty .

      This course forced Mr . O'Connor to have Re course to the Queen ' s Bench , for a mandamus to compel the Registrar to perform his functions . The mandamus was granted with leave to answer ; and ,, thereupon , a protracted and expensive litigation ensued between , what was reall y the Government on the one hand , and Mr . O'Connor , as an individual , on the other , * because , by this time , all these occurrences had produced their natural effect . Public confidence was shaken . The shareholders ceased

      to pay their prescribed contributions . There was no legal power to compel them to do so ; and thus , at the very moment when funds « nd unanimity roe most needed , Mr ; " O'Connor and the Directorsibund themselves left almost alone ,, to cope Vrith thel ^ ifficultiei of thtis pOSition .. v .,. . ., ; : .:. ¦ „' .
