ness could thus be provided for . Whether t _^ e board should be abolished altogether was a question for the committee upoa miscellaneous estimates . Mr _Hcdso . t denounced the board . If it were to exist , it ought not to cost more than £ 3 , 000 a year . After some farther'talk / ths house divided , when the numbers were—Por the prerlons Question to Agaia 3 tit 56 Majority —19 The resolution was _accordingly lost . EtECIlOS XECOQSIIAKCES BILL . Mr S . WoBTLEr then _proposed the second reading of the Electi-n _Recognizances Bill , and in the course of his speech explained in detail the alterations which he had made in it a 3 originally introduced by ilr Walpole . A discussion ensued of soma length .
Sir R . Isolis commented on the singularity cf Mr S . _Wottley proposing the second _reading of a bill which its author had abandoned , and ef then changing it so that not a single word of its enacting clauses was left from the first to the last and formal clause of it . Sir JR . Inglis then held up , amid the roars of the house , a Copy Ofthe original bid , witb all the leaves pasted over , _weich Mr S . _TVortley had altered . He conclude . * by _xnoriEg that the bill be read a second time that day six months , Ayes >«• ¦•¦ t _, _i so Noes 112 Majority ——S 2 The bill was then read a second time . The report ea tha Income ( misnamed _Property ) Tax Bill was then brought up and agreed to ; and the till was ordered to be read a third time on Thursday . The other orders were then , disposed of , and _thehouse adjoarnsd .
HOUSE OF COMJIOX 3—Wedkesdat , March 29 . _"FBAXEwoaiiSKnUBs . —Sir H . Halfobd , pursuant to notice , moved for the appointment ofa _aelcct committee io take into consideration the report and evidence laid before parliament in _lSllby Her Majesty ' s Commissioner for Inquiring into tho condition of the Framework Knitters , and to make such further inquiries as may appear necessary , in order to ascertain whether any , and , if aay , what _le gislative measures can ba devised forthe relief of their long continued distress . He ob . _Eerred . tbat the present distressed state of the framework knitters was not to be impaled to any temporary or transitory causes , and he hoped that ths house would at once sea the justice and expediency of acceding to his _motioa . On this subject the commissioner _entered into a full inquiry , and hiB report had been laid
on the : able of the house . This report fully bore out the allegations of tbe petitioner- in ISiS , as to tbe extent of their _distress , and tho _grisvanucs nnd depression under which they laboured . An act had been passed to carry out a portion ofthe petitioners' viaws , bnt that act had been frustrated in consequence of thc technical construction put upon it , bat where it had been fairly brought into operation a beneficial result had be : ii the consequence _. He did not know whether any objection would be made to this _propesaljbut let it not be said that it would hi mischievous because it would create _exagseratett hopes , for the _dsmraissiOE had _already raised and justified hopes , and all he desired was to sea the _legitimate consequences of that commission carried out . The house surely would not sanction such a mockery as that of entering into an ingairy iato the distress of a particular
class , and then letting a large blue hook be the only resuit . When the commission was applied for an offieiai enswer was _givjn , cautioning the parties against entertaining too sanguine hopes ; but that answer at the same time set forth tha conditions on which the petitioners might he allowed to entertain hopes ; for the government admitted tbat alleged grievances and oppressions formed a fit subject for public investigation , and that when they were proved to exist , it was the imperative duty of the _iegislature to _afford every just and practicable re . _rnedy , New , he maintained that grievances and oppressions in respect to the condition of _tie framework knitters had been proved to exist . It might be said that the _commissioner recommended no specific remedy , but he ( Sir H , Ha Herd ) was justified in saying tbat that
_arcsefram the circumstance ef the commissioner thinking that such r ; commendation was not within his province . Admitting , for the sake of argument , that grievances and oppressions were net made out by the report , fcrcher irqairy was nevertheless necessary to satisfy the minds of this miserable and wretched body of persons . Same might object lo Parliament taking any Steps in this manner , on the abstract ground that _noninterference ia matters of trade was the proper course ; but be protested against an abstract _prisciple of tbat sort being so far allowed to prevail as to exclude all _censidc-ratiou of the specific circumstances of particular case ? . It was argued that the condition of workmen mest always be _governed by the _relition of the supply of labour to the demand ; but in the particular trade to which his _observations hai reference the excess of the
supply of _Iaoour , he contended , was influenced oy the vir _ion system , carried on . Such was the _cenclyfion at _which the commissioner had arrived , for he observed that tils escess of supply wa 3 very _powerfully _influenced and encouraged by thc system of frame-rents , snd tbe _longrrecognised custom cf _htsvy _deduciions on oneprcext or another , from the wages of ths workpeople ; which made it the interest of employers to spread any given amount of work among a larger number of workmen tban was _necessary to its performance ; a practice that was farther _greatly facilitated by the superabundant amount of EiEchinery which had been created and brought iato the trade , by ethers than the legitimste employers in it , as profitable investments of capital , induced by tha customary exorbitant rent of the frames .
After some remarks from Sir J . Walmsley _, Mr _Ntwdegatf , Br _Bosring _, Mr 8 ' aney , Mr Gardner , Col . Sibthorp , in _fivour of the motion , and froB Mr _LaSouchere , asd Mr Hume against it . The house then divided , and the numbers were—Tor the morion 31 _Against it ... S 3 Majority 3 £ THURSDAY , Mabch 3 ) . Ib the HOUSE OF LORDS tbe Earl of EiiESBOEoroH brought under the _consideration of the house the large increase which had taken place , during the past year , both in the number of persons employed in public offices , and in the amount of salaries and retiring pensions , Vrhich showed an increase in numbers of 1 , 250 , and aa excess of £ 110 . 009 over tha _expenditure oa these heads for 184 S , and that ia a year of great national distress , and one ia which there was a failing and deficient re _^ _tnne .
In the HOrSE OF C 0 MM 0 _X 3 , the Speaker being taken iil , tee house adjourned shortly after four o ' clock . On the motion of 2 Ir _Gsogan , a new writ was ordered for the county of Wkk ' ow , in the room of Col . Acton , Who has _aecspted- the Cuiltern _Eun-ircds , and on tba motion of Mr Fbewek for the borough of Rye , in the room , of Mr fl " . M .

THE ALLOTTEES OF O'CONNORVILLE TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY . Brother Members , — Believing that we ara one great family , united by a similarity of interests , and that you will _hsvi to experience the difficulties we have no * w to encounter , difficulties _inseparabla irom a new undertaking , we appeal with confidence to your kiadly ieelings for _assie tanee . In consequence of our poverty and the dearness of provisions when we took possession , we have not been enabled to keep sufficient stock to produce 1 the manure necessary for our ensuing crops ]; in this i dilemma we appealed to Mr O'Connor to allow us a i quantity of manure , _charging ns interest for it in ' the shape of rent . Mr O'Connor kindly receivid our i deputation , but owing to the heavy expenses con-£ Beqaent up « n the building , & c . of this estate / _tvas not
i able to grant out request ; but , knowing the necessity cof the case , gave ua £ 10 as his individual gubscrip " . ttioB , and allowed us to make this appeal through tthe _columnB of tbis Star . We beg , in justification of c onr appeal , to remind you that this was the first e estate , and that we have to bear in the shape of int creased rent , the penalty of the then want of prac-1 tical experience of which , you will receive the future I benefit . Our land was purchased at les 3 than half I price of any since bought by the _Conspany , and was J poor and exhausted , consequently it needed a larger £ Eupply of manure than any subsequently purchased "; c our manure having to be purchased in London , { the i _expense of carriage was very heavy ; it costing half
i the value of the manure in carting from the nearest ** wharf , three mile 3 distant from the estate . The ex-I pense being thus great , and the funds of the C-ml pany beiDg then low , the quantity allotted to us , _*« * ffas far less than that at the other estates , where it \ " _« as made ou the spot , _whilst the cost was to us imx densely greater ; these reasons wilijprove to you that fi Cur case is a peculiar one , and that we are justified il in appealing to yoar benevolent sympathies . The 7 _various local secretaries are requested to bring this s subject before the members at their usual meeting ; a all monies to be forwarded to Mr T . M .

The Condition Of The Country. This Count...
THE CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY . This country and Ireland are rapidly hurrying to a crisis—dangers are thickening around Class Government , that the Press has long culpably passed over in silence , and that it now feebly endeavours to reason away . The French Revolution has torn the mask from tyranny , and shewn its hideous features , and , therefore , the first attempt of the Press is to run down the French Revolution—its second to convince the British people that they are remarkably comfortable , that a Revolution would do them no good , and _^ that they ought to be remarkably satisfied . It bids the working classes reflect , that they would be " worse off for a change / ' and the middle class organs _, true to their instincts , sav : —
' If trade were panicstruck , or if twenty thousand families in the fashionable or the' _respectable' circles were deprived of their incomes , what class of persons would gain by the change ? Would there be more demand lor coal , if all these establishments were reduced ? Would there be more demand for builders , for carpenter . ? , for brickmahers , for painters and glaziers , for cabinetmakers and upholsterers , for whitesmiths , or , isdeed , for any other class of worknien _ connected with the comforts and luxuries of life , if all these houses were shut up ? If two thousand carriages and horsos were put down , at least ten thousand men and their families would lose their livelihood by that single change . '
Now , this wiseacre forgets or wilfull y ignores , firstly , that the object of the Chartists is not to " deprive people of their incomes " ( except in gross cases of pension and sinecure ) , but to prevent the fashionable and respectable ' ' circles from stealing the incomes of the working classes . He forgets or wilfully ignores , that , if these classes were prosperous , the demand for coal , builders , carpenters , brickmalcers , painters , glaziers , cabinetmakers , upholsterers , whitesmiths , tailors , shoemakers , butchers , bakers , etc ., would be far greater than now , since , in addition to their present customers , these tradesmen would have the custom of that mighty class , who are now either paupers , or nearly approaching to pauperism .
He forgets or wilfully ignores , that if « two thousaud horses and carriages were put down *" by a few taxeaters being prevented from living on industry , the men whom he _supposed thrown out of employment , would become independent by enjoying a part of that , which their fashionable masters previously derived from unjust and injurious monopolies ; whereas we challenge the Whig scribe to show how anybody would be thrown out of employment , by the abrogation of our commercial and aristocratic monopolies . Puzzling himself , as he' proceeds , this wise journalist admits that "we are . badly off * ' ' but in order to prevent our _looking for a remedy , gravely tells us that the
' Saxons are a spreading , a _stirring , an nmb ; _tiouf , and a conquering race , We prefer hopo to enjoyment . ' We marvel whether this fat editor would prefer hoping for his dinner , to eating it ! He continues : " We would rather look forward to be something better than to be always the same . " Is not that a just reason _forj the " great change" the journalist inveighs against ? But he actually continues : —
Who wishes to think thnt his children nnd his children ' s children , and so forth , will be always as pinched , as slaved , and as dirty as himself . '
Of Course Not. The Scribe Uses Tbis As A...
Of course not . The scribe uses tbis as an argument against equality—does he not see it is one in favour of Revolution ? But he goes further still , in combating for the _. maintenance of our system and institutions . He says : —• ' We will not dispute that the French had a right to depose Louis Philippe , if they pleased . ' If so , why have not the English , Irish , and Scotch a similar right to alter their institutions , if they please ? At last , however , the murder will out—Might , not Right , shall rule—says one of our cotemporaries .-
—« If constitutional law will not do , we must have something stronger ; at all hazards , at any price , tho thing must now be ' put dawn , ' and that quickly , or England is disgraced in the face of the civilised world . ' Indeed ! That is easily written—but less easily enforced . It remains to be seen which will be strongest—constitutional law on the side of the people , or unconstitutional aggression on the side of a faction . But , a few hours elapse , a slight demonstration of popular stvength reaches the ears of the scribe in the interval , and already he changes his tone .-
—'We would not , ( _snys our contemporary ) take a too gloomy or alarming view ofthe state of political affairs . But still we cannot but perceive , that in its financial affairs , to speak of no other , England under its parliament and constitution has reached in 1848 the same embarrassing and dangerous full stop that the monarchy of Louis XVI . reached in 1787 . The parltment of Paris at that time refused to _register a new tax . The parliament of 1848 has made the same declaration . And Lord John Russell has withdrawn his demand with a resignation and an embarrassment which very much resemble those of Calonne . or ofthe Archbishop of Toulouse . ' The Editor then ' suggests : —
'In fine nnd in fact , the middle class of Englishmen should put forward thiir Charter , if , at some critical period , they wish to avoid being altogether setaside and trodden down , ' They have . Tbeir Charter was Free Trade—and it has failed . They must rall y with the People for the People ' s Charter , if they wish to avoid being "trodden down'' at the feet of Whig Government , as they are now ( at least the shopkeepers are , ) suffering from taxation and paralysing class-laws . Witness the following , from Manchester : —
Increase op Poverty and its consequences __ in Manchester . —On Thursday , tho following startling statistics were laid bet ' ore the Manchester board of guardians , by a member of the board ( Mr Hough . ) To ehow how greatly the exertions of their officers bad been _increased , he said the number receiving _out-door relief in the quarter _ending March , 1847 , was 25 , 155 ; quarter ending June , 43 , 139 ; September . 42 , 658 ; December _^ 38 . 552 ; being a total of 149 , 504 cases , —Mr Richards , another member of
the b . iard , said there ought to go forth with thia statement another ; and this statement was , that ih order to enforce the rates during the past yeai , 2 , 766 _sumroonseshad to be taken out from the magistrates , and that 563 householders had tobe sold up . —This last statement excited somo surprise , and the chairman said he thought 5 C 3 warrants of distress might have been applied for , but not executed . Mr _Rickardssaid he had applied to the clerk , _thechurchwardens , and overseers , for tbe figures , and was assured that that was the number executed . '
Thus the _Shopkeeping class are suffering for the poverty they have helped tbe Landlords and Capitalists to bring over the People . Well may the People not trust to a Charter of their formation—but rally for their own—do their work themselves—offer fellowship to all the honest and true , but accept a servile tolerance from none . What we have to expect from . Parliament , let the following show : — " When Mr O'Connor gave " notice of his motion for the Charter on the 10 th of April next , it was received , with loud and general laughter . "
"When notice was given " of Mr O'Brien ' s motion for the Repeal ofthe Legislative Union withlreland , it was received with loud and general laughter . " So Guizot laughed immoderately , when Barrot laid the Impeachment against him on the table of the Chamber of Deputies . For the Charter , then , and no Surrender ! We say to the People , Sign—Sign the Petition 1 Subscribe for tub _Conventioat , andj to carry out its intentions . _Oiiganise ! Organise !! Organise ! We must have no mistake this time . France has a Republic , England must have the Charter .
The Sleafoed Case. The Appeal For Redres...
THE SLEAFOED CASE . The appeal for redress has been in vain . Every possible step has been taken _fov its attainment—an indictment was drawn up bv a skilful barrister—it was lodged at an ea rly date , and the witnesses were all read y in due time—when the Grand Jury , in their wisdom , threw the Bill of Indictment out . We wish to out the attention of our readers to certain circumstances connected with this case .
After the fact of the intended prosecution had become public , indictments were lodged against eight ofthe _toitnesses in this case for a riot . It is customary to take indictments , according to priority , -fnd though the indictment versus Sharp was lodged considerably before that against the eight witnesses in Dodson ' s case , the indictment against these witnesses received precedence , —and eighteen witnesses deposed as to a riot , and the participation of those eight individuals in the same .
Almost immediatel y afterwards the Indictment against Sharpe , the brutal Policeman was brought forward ! The effort ; of this on the Jury may he imagined . Ei ghteen men are brought to swear to a riot , in whicii the witnesses against Sharpe are declared to be participators , and then these witnesses are immediatel y afterward - produced to testify to Sbarpe _' _sguilt ! Other matters of a highly indecorous nature occurred ; as , for instance , when one of the most important of the witnesses in Dodson ' s case was making his way to the Grand Jury Room , threats and intimidation were u _^ ed , and effectuall y , used against bim !
ihis case calls aloud for publicity , and no stone shall be left unturned to obtain justice . We are bound to give every praise to the Solicitor and Counsel employed , for the assiduity they have evinced in this matter ; and we are happy t « lea ' in that Mr O'Connor has consented to bring this matter before the House of Commons . Such , then , is the law in England : —perjured witnesses may lie with impunity , and brutal _j-olicemen may unprovokedly kill inoffensive persons , whose efforts at redress are treated with contempt ! But the day of redress is coming . People ! Be alive to your duties and conscious of your powers .
The spreading union guarantees success . Ireland and England are united — popular factions are amalgamating—even in quarters least expected the fraternal spirit ferments . We cannot quit this subject without alluding to a letter , entitled " Soldier nnd Citizen , " appearing in another part of our paper . Thisis written in aright spirit—suchletters tend to promote good-will among the different sections of the working classes , that aristocratic governments have most tried to sever . We sbould recommend the publication of that or some similar letter , in a cheap form for gratuitous distribution in suitable ( quarter ? . 11

PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . ' Parliament continues in the same listless and inactive mood which we noticed last week . There seems to be a dogged determination not to work , and night after night passes over without the real business of the session being in the slightest degree advanced . The fenbills of public importance before the House of Commons ( such as the Public Health Bill for instance ) , live put aside for the merest trifles , as if the British Legislature was obstinatelybent upon making an ostentatious display of
Parliamentary Review.' Parliament Contin...
its determination to stand still , _while $ . 11 tba rest ofthe world is _moving . As for the House of Lords , that is in . all cases a mere shadow , until a late period of the Session , when they are obliged to work almost " Double tides , " to dispose of the shoals of bills , over which the Commons have been dawdling for months , and which they . are expected to get through in as many days , in order that legislation may end before the " Shooting Season" begins . If , as on Thursday , some adventurous peer
gets tired of this inaction , and moots a question on bis own account , it is quickly got rid of , and their lordships hurry home to dinner . Certainly , among the changes that are taking place now-a-days , few are more curious than that of the Tories turning the advocates of economy in our National Expenditure . Graham and Gladstone in theCommons _. and Ellenborough and Stanley , have delivered some useful and p ointed lectures on the subject , of which it will be the duty of the people to remind them should . their party ever again resumeoffice . It serves , however , to show what
a _' set of spendthrifts the present Ministry are , when even the Tories cry out against their extravagance ; and the utter ignorance of the expenditure in their several departments b y Earls Grey and Auckland , deepens the feeling of astonishment with which we regard their continuance in office . Among the matters that have been talked of , has been a case of oppression and cruelty on the part of an Irish landlord , which not only shows the horrible state of the _existing system in Ireland , but how utterly powerless and impotent the law is to check
the peip 3 tration of the grossest crimes on the part of the wealthy , and the utter hopelessness of any redress by the poor . The law which ought to ; stand between the oppressor and his victim , is paralysed , when it has to deal with the strong , and is only available when it is needed as an additional weapon for crushing the weak . The case may be briefly stated as follows : —Mr Blake , a lauded proprietor in Galway , resolved to eject a number of families from his estates , in order , apparently , to save himself from the burden of poor rates . Ejections are common enough
things in Ireland , and , therefore , the mere fact of his turning the poor people out of their holdings , and levelling their dwellings before their eyes , would have nothing unusual about it . But the forms of the law are observed in ordinary ejectmentsi Mr Blake did not think that mockery necessary . Having resolved upon ridding himself of what he , no doubt , considered a nest of troublesome vermin , without reference to the right or wrong of the matter , he resolved also to lose no time
about it . Knowing the law to be powerless to punish him , there was no necessity for assuming the appearance of respect for it . He therefore dispensed with all preliminary legal conditions ; he did not even preserve the appearance of moderation , but did a cruel and illegal deed in the most cruel and oppressive manner . The eve of the new year was selected for turning his unwarned tenants out of their holdings , and the bitter winds of a bleak January , night from across the Atlantic , chilled the frames of the unsheltered
sufferers upon its shores . Helpless children and helpless sickness were driven out to lie upon that bleak shore . Some found a speedy end of their sufferings in death . Others crawled back to seek temporary shelter and warmth by the wreck of their smouldering and ruined cabins ! This is no tale of a seditious agitator , whose object it is to stir up the people to rebellion . It is the report of Major McKie , a Government Commissioner , to the Government , What did the Government do when they received that report ? That was the question which Mr Scrope wanted to have answered . But the House was in no humour to hear an " Irish grievance . " On rising , the Hon . Member for Stroud was received by
general shouts of " Oh , oh , ' amidst which he managed to state the leading facts ; but , on his producing the Blue Book , and essaying to quote evidence to substantiate his statement , he wa . s met by such a storm of disapprobation , that , accustomed as he is to such exhibitions , he was compelled to give way . Other Members , however , rushed to his aid , and ultimately the subject was discussed , after a fashion . The Attorney-General said , the law gave the wrongfully-ejected tenants a remedy , by an action at civil law , and the Government did not mean to make the monstrous and illegal act of the landlord the ground of any prosecution on their part ; a declaration which elicited , from Mr O'Connor , the following emphatic and plain-spoken warning ;—
He would not talk of moral force or moral _impresaions , but he told the government that the Irish people looked upon them as an exterminating , crucifying , an «) destroying government—that the landlords received every advantage and assistance , but that the lives of the population were regarded a 3 the lives of so many Blaves . 'He told the noble lord at the head of _thegovernmant , that looking at what was passing in other countries , this was not a time to trifle with the people of Ireland . Talk of Poland —that land was redolent with the blood of illustrious martyrs , white the soil of Ireland stank with the dead carcases of a starved population .
Of course , there were Irish' landlords found to repudiate this statement , and impudent enough to state , on the contrary , that the House and the landlords were most anxious to promote the welfare and prosperity of Ireland . But the people have long learned how to estimate such assertions , which only add disgust to the indignation with which they regvird the tyrannous oppression of the sister island . The Irish Secretary promised to have the case inquired into , and , subsequentl y * Sir G . Grey has stated to the House , that Mr Blake was dismissed from the situation of Justice of the
Peace , which , he hoped , would satisfy the House that the Government had done all they could in the matter ! It may satisfy " the House , " but we imagine it will not satisfy the country , that such a miscreant should thus escape the condign punishment which ought to attend robbery and murder upon a large scale , for . such the conduct of this fellow Blake really amounted to . Yet there are people who
wonder why Ireland is at this moment on the eve of a revolution ! It would , indeed , be truly wonderful if it was otherwise . A collision between the Government and the people must come , and though the Times exultingly prognosticates the suppression of the people , and the victory of the troops of the Government , we have seen so many instances 2 _stely of its incapacity to foretel political events , that ; we confess we put little faith in its predictions .
The determined silence which has been preserved in Parliament on the subject of Ireland , at a moment when it must be the uppermost thought in every man ' s mind , and the principal cause of the Cabinet Councils which have been held so frequently of late , is , perhaps , a more significant symptom of the depth and intensity of the interest with which all parties are watching the movement in that country , than if it was openly broached . It is , in fact , exceedingly ticklish ground , and nobody likes to venture upon it under present circumstances . The Government , therefore have , as it were , a carte blanche to do what they _pleaseln the matter . Is this wise ? Would it not be better , before blood is really shed , that the House
should take the only way to prevent such a lamentable catastrophe , by granting at once that power of Self-Legislation which the Irish people demand as a right , and which it is for our interest , no less than theirs , that they should possess ? The anticipations of the _ThneSj as to the immediate success of any conflict , may be correct , but dees anybody of sane mind believe , that a sanguinary slaughter of the citizens of Dublin , Cork , Limerick , and other large towns , iu the streets of these towns will tend to bind the two countries together more closely than they now are ? Will the blood of Irishmen , slain in endeavouring to achieve legislative independence , cement that Union whicii it is the object of the English Government to maintain r No ! the detennination to emancipate Ireland from the bloodstained thraldom , of this _^ country , would only

grow more intense and more universal . In addition to the long catalogue of wrongs already inflicted—of horrible sufferings endured—there would be added a last and inexp iable deed of blood , which would rankle in the hearts of the whole people , and stimulate them to constant efforts for revenge and freedom .
One Of The Most Interesting Debates This...
One of the most interesting debates this week , took place upon the presentation of a petition by Mr Wakley , from a cle rgyman named Beale , which , in addition to praying for the adoption of the principles of Universal Suffrage , and other sound political reforms , asked for the Abolition ofthe House of Lords . Sir R . Inglis—that champion of all that is antiquated in our venerable Constitution—was horrified at the idea , and endeavoured to prevent the petition from being received .
Looking at the actual fate of petitions in general , perhaps it _wouftl have served the purpose of Mr Beale quite as well if Sir Robert had succeeded . But , though " the House ' ' treats petitions with very little real respect , they do not like to abandon the outward show of it , and , therefore , alter certain homilies against the unhallowed desire for change in our blessed Constitution , which such a petition indicated , it was allowed to be put in the basket , and carried away with the other " rubbish ' ' which . '' the House" had allowed to he tumbled into it .
Sir H. Halford's Motion For An Inquiry I...
Sir H . Halford ' s motion for an inquiry into the case of the Framework Knitters , with a view to some remedy for the acknowledged suffering and depression of that much-oppressed class of operatives , met with a summary rejection on Wednesday . The Political Economists scout all interference with the right of Capital to buy Labour at its own price , and to treat the labourer solely with reference to the per centage question , wholly oblivious of all other considerations . The example of France , legislating for Labour , and recognising its claims to protection by the State , was pointed at with pious horror , as one
of the most injurious things which had happened in their times , and the possible adoption of such a policy in this country very earnestly deprecated . The request for an inquiry -was surely a modest enough one ; but the profitmongers were afraid of the introduction of even the thin end of the wedge , and showed their positive _^ determinat ion not to concede a single point to the labourers , while they can prevent it . Do not such occurrences more forcibly show the imperative need for a radical and sweeping reform in the constitution of the House , than the most elaborate argument , orjthe most eloquent speeches ofthe advocates of the People ' s Charter ?
