The Colliers Of Staffordshireliberation ...
THE COLLIERS OF STAFFORDSHIRELIBERATION OF JOHN HAMMOND . The colliers of Bilston , Wednesbury , and the coal district in that neighbourhood have during the last fortnight obtained a triumph over their tyrannical oppressors , to which we must give something more than a passing notice . The contest was in the Court of Queen ' s Bench , and the decision of the learned Judges will not soon be forgotten—it will operate as a most wholesome warning against magisterial incapacity and partiality . Those of onr readers who reside in Staffordshire
are aware ofthe summary mode in which a collier is ( or rather "was "— 'tis altered lately ) committed to gaol . Well , what ' s the charge ? Please , your Wussbip _, he ' s left his nukk 'thout notice , Pr isoner , whaido jou say to that ? Wiry , I say there was never any agreement about giving notice , and as there was no agreement to give notice , I ' m not obliged to give notice ; and besides , I've witnesses to prove that wheu I left there was no work forme .
None of your impudence , prisoner ; recollect where vou are ; conduct yourself properly , er jou trill-be committed for contempt of court . Well , hut you must hear my witnesses—they'll swear there was no work for me , and what was I to do ? Never mind your witnesses ; witnesses only take up the time of the court , waste the public time . We can ' t sit here all day . Well but , _rejeins tlie poor devil , who already knows that he is booked for three months , well but I tell ee there _warn't no agreement to give notice .
Oh , never mind that ; we never trouble about agreements . Here , prosecutor , was there any agreement to give notice ? So , your Wussbip . Xo understanding about giving notice ? _Notabit of it , your Wussliip . Well , but tbere must have been something ; wasn't there any Customs ! Oh yes , to be sure , there was—tfie custom of the country . But we are digressing too far , and forgetting the cause of our discharged prisoner . John Hammond found himself oue night in Stafford gaol : he had been guilty of leaving work that did not yield him enough to live upon , and seeking for labour elsewhere : he had made no agreement to
give notice ; in order to be at perfect liberty he had specially avoided such an agreement ; so the magistrates , kind hearts ! made one for him . So , Butty , this man has loft your service . Yes , your "Wussbip . Did he give any notice ? So , your Wusship . Surely , he agreed to give notice ? So , your Wussliip . What do you bring him here for then ; was there any _Cus-f Oh , thank your Wusship . Custom of the country , your Wusship—ha , ha , he—Custom ol the country , I'd neatly forgotten it though . Yes , to be sure—custom of the country—capital custom , too .
Now , prisoner , what have you to say to _thatjheswears to the custom ofthe country ? Why , I say this , that I never made any agreement , and I never heard of such a custom . Ah , _veryweU , never mind . Clerk , make out his commitment , we shall teach you the custom . Custom of the country—two months—custom of the country ! What a clever fellow he must have been that first found it out— " Hard labour , " aud off Hammond was marched to the tender mercies of the governor of Stafford gaol .
But the cruelty had become constant , and being so , it had done its real work , it had become intolerable , and had roused a determined spirit of resistance . The colliers awake from their lethargy . Mr . Roberts was sent for—in three days Hammond was before a Judge , and in an hour afterwards he was at liberty ; and so bright was the lesson , so widely awake did his "Wusship" become all at once , that no " custom of the country" prisoner has been sent to Stafford gaol since John Hammond left it .
It may be thought that in giving this case _« 3 a specimen " of the ordinary administration of "justice ' s justice" in thc Staffordshire Coal districts we are rather exaggerating ; and yet the fact is as we have stated it . Hammond ' s case was the case of scores of others . Colliers were continually sent to gaol for violating an agreement although there was no proot of one—although it was proved there was no agreement . Did it not constantly occur that when brought to trial , the prisoners were treated
with an utter want of that justice which gives dignity to the higher courts—snapping at himsnarling—bandying words of anger . Were not the prisoner ' s witnesses cither refused a hearing or told at every answer that they were unworthy of belief : if delay was asked was it not refused—and that too with some such insulting phrase as " there ' s no good in putting ifc oil ' , wc have made up our minds ; " —and all this with the Master on the Bench chuckling with his brother Magistrate . But again we are forgetting tho particular case which
we are writing upon . John Hammond had been discharged by a single judge ; the " custom of thc country" doctrine was too valuable to be lightly-parted with , and therefore the Counsel for the Masters applied to the Judge to postpone his decision till the case could be heard before all the Judges of the Court of Queen's Bench . To this Mr . Roberts assented , provided in the mean time Hammond was set at liberty . This was agreed to by all parties . Mr . Roberts himself was the bondsman , in a heavy sum , that Hammond should
The Colliers Of Staffordshireliberation ...
return to prison in the event of the decision being in favour ofthe " custom ef the country " conviction . The case , aa we hfiVe before stated , came on before the full Court a few days prior to the end of the Term which hasjust closed : the " custom of t he country" party were in full force , and they argued as well as a bad cause would enable thera to do . The result , however was , that the " custom ofthe Queen ' s Bench " annulled the " custom of the Staffordshire Magistrates . " Hammond was declared entitled to his unconditional liberation , and his recognizances were discharged .
We have not space to comment upon the mighty good which has been thus accomplished . Hammond ' s liberation from custody in the first instance hadbeon of essential service , no " custom of the country " prisoners have been sent to Gaol since . Still , until the decision by the full Court , the Magistrates , Masters , and Butty men had some hope that theii" decision might be permitted to stand . The result is a lesson which we trnst will be of service to them .
Parliamentary Review. The Corn Bill In T...
PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . The Corn Bill in the Lords , and the Coercion Bill in the Commons , have been running neck and neck , though we suspect the jockies in both cases are neither of them desirous of " getting in" first . The Protectionist . Peers would like to see Peex beaten before the Corn question is settled in their house . In the commons the Whigs , at least , are afraid of a division on the Coercion Bill , which may drive him from office before the way to power is smoothed for them by the passing of his commercial
measures . It is a curious complication of parties , a strange game of cross purposes , and it is not improbable , despite all the rumours of changes , retirement , and dissolution , which have been rife of late , that the Premier may beat his varied opponents , carry the session quietly to its close , and retire to the shades of Drayton to enjoy repose after its labours , without giving the Protectionists the sweets of revenge or the Whigs the pleasures of office .
We have already expressed our opinion as to the natureof the Russell-Bentinck coalition against Peel , and , notwithstanding thespeech of theWhig leader , on Monday night , we retain our former impressions . It was , undoubtedly , one of his ablest speeches , and an elaborate defence of the position he has taken on Ihe present occasion . It was also redeemed by glimpses of the progressive principle in politics , which are varieties in his orations . But his attack on the _piesent ministry for having appropriated Whig principles and carried them out further than they themselves proposed , is another proof of that smallness of mind , that dread of progress , which we believe to be the most prominent featuresof'his political character . To a real reformer it matters not who
effects beneficial change , and a professed reformer quarrelling with a progressive minister , because he has _lieen successful , because he has done too much , does look like a practical antithesis _. As to thc De bates in both houses , they have the slenderest possible connexion with the measures out of which they ostensibly originate . The propriety or impropriety , the justice or injustice , of the Coercion Bill has been altogether lost sight of ; and the discussion has really turned upon Peel ' s conduct to
Canning in the matter , ef the Catholic Claims , in-1825 and 182 * 7 . Tbe question put by the Speaker should have been , not that , "The Protection of Life ( Ireland ) Bill be now read a second time , " but " . Did Sir R . Peel chase and hunt George Canning to death ?" Mr . D'Israeli ' s speech on that subject was a splendid one , but it had not the-slightest reference to the question formally before the house : and for our own part , we do not admire this practice of lugging in all sorts of topics neck and heels into debates on particular and definite measures .
If the Protectionists arc really desirous of measuring their strength with their renegade leader , let them do so fairly on a vote of confidence . Lord G . Bentinck said he _would prefer that course . Why not take it , instead ofthe present irregular back-handed mode of proceeding ? If the Protectionists are afraid of it , the Independent Members ought to make that move , and give the Ministry a fair stand-up chance of defending themselves , and the House an honourable and straight-forward mode of deciding upon its claims to conduct the affairs of the country . No Member of the House could do this more appropriately than Mr . Duncombe , the people's representative and champion in that House , and we hope he will do so if Protectionists and Whigs decline it .
The Lords have kept a little closer to the question , though they , too , have wandered otten far enough away from it . Two amendments to the Ministerial measure have been debated . The Duke of Buckingham tried hard to retain the last rag of Protection left by the Bill . II « moved that Peel ' s tot sliding scale from 10 to 4 shillings instead of dying in 1849 should be perpetuated . " The smallest donations" of protection would be thankfully received by the Landlords . But they pleaded in vain , and the astounding majority of 33 in committee , sternly rcfused"the very little request of a once proud but now humbled party .
The fight was renewed in another shape by Earl Wicklow the following evening , who moved for a fixed duty of 5 s . The time has been when such a tax , if levied avowedly for the purpose of revenue , would have met with very general support . But in the hurry of the commercial and electoral classes towards the realization of the one idea by which they are possessed , no compromise , no fiscal argument will be listened to . The debate is not closed on this motion atthe time we write , but thc speeches on Tuesday night show that it has as little chance of being carried as its predecessors . If Peel and the Whigs can stave oft a division in the Commons long enough , the ComBill is sure to become law .
The Protectionist Peers , however , threaten that that will not settle the question . They hold out the prospect of an out-door agitation , of an appeal to th country in order that the remnant of protection temporarily preserved by the bill may be perpetuated . It will , we believe , be a losing game with them . They did not identify themselves with the people in time . The people will now fight their own battle
with capital and commercial feudalism on their own ground and in their own way . They know and feel that between the landocracy , the cottonocracy , and moneyocracy , they have been ground to the dust . That while their labours have made England the richest and most powerful country in the world , tlieir position has bee n gradually deteriorating . Wages and comfort have diminished in the ratio that toil and wealth increased .
For the cure of this unnatural , unju 9 t , and unwholesome state of affairs , the labouring millions look neither to landowners nor millowners . Mr . _Duxcomoe truly told the Legislature that they have ideas and measures of their own , and have as little faith in the League panacea as the Protectionists themselves . Mr . BmonT ' s assertions to the contrary , and his abuse ofthe hon , member for Finsbury , do not alter tho fact . Let the League fairly call a public meeting in any manufacturing town , and permit the question to be openly discussed , and they will speedily discover that Mr . Duncombe faithfully represents the opinions of the masses on this point .
The sotmei ' , however , that the League fallacy ia cleared away the belter . It only obstructs thc agitation of the greater questions which must , in future , claim thc attention of tho Legislature and the Government . The introduction ot sonic resolutions relative to the inconvenience caused by the existence of two difference guages in railways , led to a dull and tame debate on a really important question . Thc House of Commons is not the place for these practical questions , and it gets out of its depths when it attempts . them . Now , that the railway system has _' grown so important a portion of our internal economy , there ought to be a tribunal and governmental department to which all railway ques-
Parliamentary Review. The Corn Bill In T...
tions should be referred , and by which they should be regulated and controlled . The proceedings relative to a Scotch Railway Bill on the same evening prove the absolute necessity of such an arrangement ; for nearly two hours the Commons debated with closed doors-about four hundred members present _, as to whether the bill should be thrown out or not . Personal canvassing , it was alleged , had been extensively resorted to , and the fact of so large an attendance of members in this smoking hot weather on a private bill is prima facie evidence of the fact . Charges of personal and pecuniary mot _' _ires were freely bandied about , and altogether the occurrence forcibly demonstrated the utter incompetency and Unfitness ofthe present system of railway legislation and administration .
John Frost. The Star Of This Day Contain...
JOHN FROST . The Star of this day contains unanswerable evidence of the love and veneration with wliich the martyr Fbost is regarded by his poor but purehearted countrymen . This day fortnight the first notice of Mr . _Fnosi ' s difficulties appeared in this _itnu-nal and within that short time nearly One Hundred and Fifty Pounds has been subscribed by men who , paying shillings and pennies , express their regret that " their poverty but not their will consents" to give these small sums , instead of the pounds they would subscribe were they not
themselves plundered of their property—the fruits of their labour—ly that system which John Feost laboured to overthrow . The success of tho appeal made on behalf of Mr . Fkost has been most satisfactory , and the good work has suffered nothing from the advocacy of Mr . Coopbb , a proof that the people know how to distinguish between Mr . _Fhost and Mr . Frost ' s "friends" who so zealously labour to mar , his cause . In announcing his tour through the country , ostensibly to obtain monies for Mr . Frost , Mr . Cooper avowed ( see his letter from Lloyd ' s Refuge for Renegades in this day ' s Star )
thathe would "speak his mind " and ' dare O'Connor to meet him anywhere , " plainly _intimating'that , however desirous he mig ht be to obtain assistance for " poor Frost , " he was much more anxious to turn his tour to the account of " crushing O'Connor . " There was a reason for this of which many of our readers may not be aware . A new Weekly Paper is to be started under the name of Douglas Jerbold ' s Weekly Newspaper , the political management of whicb , so says report , is to be in the hands of Mr . Cooper ; of course , therefore , in trying te damage Mr . O'Connor , and denouncing the " filthy Star , "
there was an object to be served which will be " clear as the sun at noonday " to the most purblind . We have it on good-authority that Mr . Cooper took with him twenty thousand circulars announcing the new paper , for distribution at the meetings he proposed holding ; so that it was not so much to serve Mr ' Frost , as it was to denounce Mr . O'Connor and the "filthy Star , " and puff off the new paper , that the philanthropic tour was undertaken . We must express our sincere sympathy for Mr . Douglas
Jerrold , in having unfortunately allied himself with a man who , if allowed to " play his fantastic tricks , " will certainly ruin his paper . We hear that the said paper is to be the model of perfection , carefully eschewing all " blackguardism , " and advocating democracyonly in the " genteel" way ; as to how far these intentions are likely to be carried out our readers may satisfy themselves by turning to Mr . Cooper ' s "jilthi / "letter from Lloyd's "filthy " Refuge for Renegades ,
In spite of Mr . Cooper's advocacy , the "Frost Fund" is accumulating gloriously . The Star of this day shows that Mr . Rogers has received Fifty Pounds , of which _Twenty-five have been already remitted to ' Mr . Fbost .. Besides the above sum , Mr . O'Connor has tbis week received above Thirty-nine Pounds , Mr . Wheeler above Twenty-six pounds ; and Mr . Julian Uabnev above Twenty-nine pounds , heing a total . of nearly £ 150 . Is Frost forgotten ? Is Chartism dead ? From all quarters we have letters stating that more would h & Ve been collected had time permitted , and anxiously inquiring
if there is yet time to collect more . We beg our friends not to limit themselves to time , let them get the money as speedily as possible , but let them get it . Money is even now on its way to Australia , to meet Mr . Frost ' s immediate and pressing wants , but further sums may be sent at any time , and if a month to come is devoted to the obtaining of subscriptions ; the proceeds will be forwarded . In reply to the many expressions of anxiety as to the mode of transmitting the monies to Mr , Frost
we beg to say that we have unbounded , confidence not only in the integrity but also the discretion of Mr . Rogers , and we are sure lie will sec that the money entrusted to liis care shall be safely and surely transmitted to Mr . Frost . While the good work is being done , let it be well done . The efforts now being made must not slacken until the amount subscribed shall be a testimonial worthy of the Chartist party and worthy of the man who reigns in the hearts ef the people .
