Ab to i Ais * nan---J _«* aa Hobson- —1 have learned , j _rinee niy _* - _^ _' to Manchester , that 'William [ Bider was perfectly correct when he asserted l _tjjat the most humble man in that meetfcig , _ff ould feel himself disgraced b y associating j _jth the «•¦« - _Joshaa Hobson . "like case , [ 5 ke rule , '" ' is a rery good legal ma-rim , and I -jus fellow is trying to play the same part as i jeg _^ sme , an (» hfcdisTjMssal from my _ser-Tice _, that he played to his old assodates—the S ocialists—when they dismissed him as printer rf the New Moral World , for his MODE *
mTE _CHARGES . _Tliis fellow mistakes _jnanins for ability , and reiteration of falsehood for confinnation . However , not to waste time with him , I shall proceed to the work of demolition at once , while , meantime , I conld jell afford to admit every one ofhis assertions as troth , merely meeting them with the admitted position of himself and ' -The Lucky Boy f and whose interesting narrative I shall g iveat foot , as the biography of Mr John i rdill , written by the biographer who was the object of the two letters published in the Star of the 30 th October , 1847 , containing John's repudiation of community when "the payments are all on one side—as in the case of i nsurance , gas , and coals—or partially so—' ssrent "!! - ; ' y _.
I do hope that every man , every wb ** nan snd every little child will preserve this interesting . bidgraphy of _^ lie Lucky Boy /* 'and hand it down to posterity as a proof of tjbe value ofthe re-productiveprinci ple . For myself , I can only say , that such is its value , that , but for the pleasure of giving- it a more extensive circulation than it could possibly have _t"frnragh die columns ofthe expiring Manchester Exaginer , I should not have condescended to notice the ridiculous rubbish mixed up with this interesting narrative * but it would he a
p ity thatthe world should lose such an interesting sketch of so interesting a youth , so _giirewd a calculator , so temperate a mechanic , tad so stalwart a worker . Oh , that , he had lived in the days of Ossianl and that poet of poets would have characterised him as "Shane with the strong arm , with a cool head and caleolating brain , " who ever attached himself to promising speculations and undertakings , and always abandoned them wheu they foretold dissolution . John ' s association with Josh . Terr forcibl y reminds me of the quaint old
sag . — ¦ Wher e hare you been all the day , My boy Johnny f A sertpiag _ofm-r weekly pay . Hy goed _Jossj . Waa it brass or was it fold , By boy Johnny f Il was brass and it was gold , But the sura it can ' t he told , My good Jouy . Now , really , the character that Josh , gives of John , of his relatives , his _^ dependents , his abstinence , perseverance and strength ; his powers of calculation , his perception and
divination—which enabled him to select the most thriving clubs and speculations , wherein to rest his funds , and not to be seduced by the red-herring scent of failure , but by the evident EBrks of dissolution , to abandon those specu-Utions , one and all , when his association with them , or his knowledge of their instability acred out ft Ware-hawk /' —would render him , it the present moment , " the most £ t and proper person to take the command of onr " monetary affaire , _as"his abdication would at least have the effect of wholesome warning . But to . BV purpose . Here are Joshua Hobson ' s teenty-four assertions : — -i -
1 . —I hare not watched the gaae that has been played is relation to the enrolment and registration withont a purpose , and I now tell those concerned , tbat if ' comfJrte registration' ia not this that completed , I will my .

4 . —In tbe Nertlern Star , of June IS , IMC , there _appirt in 8 letterfrom Mr O'Connor himself the following _ettement . It ia made in reference to'this _aarne Land Hta question , and tbe letter contains a statement of bis '" ¦ abilities * and' assets / _wbieh I shall often hate to refer btretlis discussion le dosed . AU I seed at the present ia the folio-ring : — ' la October last , I waa very bard' pres-« a * for money ; indeed I have always been so ; and on bj return from tbe Continent I was served with a writ fcr £ 22 . 4 _* . 6 d . ; the _ttrg first terit I teas ever send _tritk _btsylife .

« . —On May 39 tb _, 18 tt , Jfr O'Connor wrote to a _fiiend tfainetopay £ 85 . to bit lawyers , Messrs Yates and _luraer _, of Westminster , to save him from being * - ""**< " is execution that very day ; for be had given a _flue ' s order for the same , whieh was due .

It . —In addition to all this , he was served witb a writ - tte streets of Manchester , for a debt arising out of a ha transaction witb the Messrs Hilton , formerly of Bar-» ea paper mills .

' . . _.,-. . _; I tioyr proceed to answer those- twenty-four threats , guesses , and assertions , seriatim .
1 . —I wish Mr Hobson joy . He signed He deed the week before last in Manchester , and has , thereby ; made himself _particeps Cfiminit , a participator in the crime attachable hy law to the registered shareholders , and , therefore , when Mr Hobson proceeds , he must ; , proceed against himself , as I would make iim a co-defendant in any suit or action brought against the Company . So that Mr Hobson has rendered himself liable for all the legal penalties . How the wicked are sometimes caught in their own trap 1 2—There were about sixteen columns ofhis
" unmitigated rubbish , " but the Conference ent it short to about six and a half columns , leaving out all the absurdities about births , deaths , marriages , burials , and so forth ; and I was the person who gave it the most vigorous opposition in its original form , and was on the committee that dipt it of its original huge proportions . 3 . 7-The . . _foectoiC would he ., quite . right in not' allo _* wng _^ sucV . K fellow to enter the office . . ' "" ; " ' "'
4 . —This investigator will never give you a more true picture of my pecuniary resources , as long as I was devoured by my reproducing staff , than I have given-you myself , and all of which will go to show you how an honourable man , surrounded by villains , can straggle against adversity , without committing one dishonourable , dishonest , or mean act . The writ with which I was served , was for a bill of 20 / ., which I accepted for James Leach , to start him in a printing concern , and which , he assured me , I should never hear of more— -thathe would be prepared to take it . up . The 2 ? . 4 s . 6 d . was
for interest and costs , and all of which . I paid , receiving principal and interest in slander and abase ; aad so chary was I of the Land money , that I borrowed a portion of that amount from Mr Wheeler , and gave him an order upon one of thc London agents ofthe Star _toiepay it , although I had several hundreds of pounds of the Land money in my iron chest . . 5 . _—vvlienMr Lloyd made my second printingmachine—a _doublfr-cylinderett one—itbroke down the first night it was put to work , and Mr . Coupland , the overseer of Mr Lloyd , told Mr Hobson that he had cautioned his " . master , _andBSSured him that the under carriage would not stand , and that Mr Lloyd ' s answer . was ,
• That it was ' good enough for the money . Previously to this , Ihad ordered a four-cynndered machine , to ' cost 7001 . Mr Hobson mentioned what Coupland told him , and I instantly wrote , iri 1839 , to countermand the four-cylindered machine . It cost me from 70 h . to 801 . to repair the new machine before it printed a paper , and when Mr Lloyd found , in July or August , in 1840 , that I was fair game when in York Castle , he proceeded against me for 7001 ., for a machine which , I believe , has not yet been commenced ; and , knowing my chance against the law , I p aid Mr Lloyd 300 / . to be let off the bargain , ' the law and the machine . "W as not this a dishonourable act ?
6 > -When I was in York Castle , Mr Taylor applied to me for the money , and Mr Ardill assured me that it had been paid , and , while caged , I could know nothing about my afiairs . However , I presume Mr Taylor was paid . " 7 _ -This was some arrangement with Mr Dempsey , made , I believe , by Mr Cleave or Mr Hobson , and if my very pliant editor paid it , there is little doubt but he repaid himself , as he broug ht me in a hill of two , three , and four years' _standing , when I dismissed him , ( and of which I had never heard a word before , ) for about 1471 ., and for which I have the gentleman ' s receipt ; and , whether the money was due or not to Mr Dempsey , I would have paid the amount rather than appear in such a
8 . —This 85 / . was part of the costs due by me for the libel published on the Rev . Mr Anstey , of Rugby , by Messrs Hill and Hobson , and wh . ch I never saw till I was sued . The letter was to Mr John Cleave , to pay the same to Messrs Yates and Turner—Mr Cleave THEN , AJ 51 sOW , owing me , according to his own confession , made before the delegates assembled in London , in April , 1845 , a large sum of money . _ __ 9 --This other application was to Mr Cleave andthiswasthewaythatlwas compelled to require the payment of monies due to me , and these were the legal purposes to which my moniewere alied .
s pp -,. __„ v . 10 . —This _ptoceedin-ir was taken hy the solicitor ofthe Manchester Bank , which stonpea payment , having ahill of mine made payable to Messrs Hilton , papermakers , for between 40 W and 500 / . I sent over 200 / . in cash to _> Mr Ardill , and Mr ArdUl sent the balance in little bills and notes tbat he had discounted for other parties , and which were not due , and they are entered in my cash book as CASH PAID on my account . Now , what does the reader think of that dishonourable transaction , especially when I have a letter accompanying accounts forwarded by Mr Ardill , showing that the b ankrupts' estate was indebted to me to the amount of 230-. odd .
11 _ Mr Hobson tells you that his plan was modified hy the Trades—it was rejected by the Trades and a very pretty model for a Land Plan viovAi have been Mr Hobson ' s proposition to the Trades , which , fortunately forthe Trades , George White exposed and had reiected , and for which the fair-play loving Hobson threatened George with exposure in the Star and now observe the consummate insolence ' of this brazen-faced fellow . When the Trades' Conference was about 1 to meet , m _S 1845 Mr _Holisoa was at Huddersfield , and had the matchless effrontery to inula lon g leader to the Star , recommending the 2 poning the Conference _jnst about to be

14 .- —My friends , it is really past patience to have the task of commenting upon this fellow ' s ignorance , imposed upon one whose time is precious . Read the 77 th clause of the Act— -andhere itis to refresh your memory : — _IIXVTI . And be it enacted , That it shall not be lawful for any person to commence or prosecute any Action , Bill , Plaint , Information , or Prosecution in any of her Majesty ' s Superior Courts , for the Recovery of any Penalty or Forfeiture incurred by reason of any Offence committed against thia Act , unless tha same he commenced or prosecuted in the Name and with the Consent ofber Majesty's Attorney general-and
that if any Action , Bill , Plaint , Information , or Prosecution , or any Proceeding before any-Justices as afore _, said , shall be commenced , or prosecuted in tbe Name of any other person than is in tbat behalf before mentioned , the same shall be and ara hereby declared to be null android . Now , then , what do you think of this blunderbuss ? 15 . —Now , nothing could be more foolish than this fellow ' s meddling with the -Star accounts _,, and for this very reason , because it only induces me to look more minutely into them and now I pray your
best attention to the following feet . Up to June , 1839 , the Star accounts were kept by a practical accountant , and , . observe , this was nearly two years of its most trying necessity ; and-next week I will publish for you the balances , as they appear in the cash book , from the beginning to that date _. showfngalarge balance at the close of each month due to me , and not a single figure altered . I will also show you the entries of monies acknowledged to be paid by Mr O'Connor to the account of the Star ;
and this gentleman , who had been thirty-five years in a most extensive mercantile house in the City , was sent adrift _; by Messrs Ardill and Hobson , because he kept the accounts too well ; and from the very day that he leaves—when the circulation is largest—' every figure in the cash book is altered , and in thirteen months 1 lose my balance , and owe 2 , 3451 !! " Now , Timkins , figures is figures , but not immovable , I am sorry to say , Timkins ; dates is dates , Timkins , and
Facts are chiels tbat winna ding , , An' _caana be refuted . " But it is a curious circumstance that the proprietor of a money-making newspaper should be the only person connected with it that was always in distress , while the paupers who have been transformed Into capitalists have been the greatest , indeed , the only gainers . 16 . —Oh I Holy Moses 1 I received several letters from Huddersfield , where Josh , was best known , arid from Barnsley , where I originally intended starting the Star , cautioning me against having anything to do with Josh . 17 . —The money , without a second application , was paid for the machine , and what
could Mr Coupland learn about me : May not even the most trifling affair be wrapped up in mystery by a disappointed splenetic rascal , whose glory and boast , is , that he is " AS GOOD A HATER AS COBBETT ; " that I hare heard him repeat over a thousand times . 18 . — -This is not even a lie with a circumstance—it ' s a palpable lie—an unmitigated lie . I took Messrs Ainsworth and Halliday , ( who knew me long and knew me well , and who were on my election committee in 1835 , ) from Oldham to the- Stamp-office at Leeds , and , to the best of my opinion , neither of those gentlemen had ever set eyes upon Mr Joshua Hobson until that day . * Now , what must this fellow think of himself , or what must the public think of him ?
19 . —Was I wrong in christening friend John " The Lucky Boy ? " There was an Irish Jockey who seldom lost a race—he'd spit in his adversary ' s eye , cross him or jostle him , but could not draw his money out of declining clubs , or watch the turn of the market , nor was he a calculator of figures , or of anything but a horse ' s speed , and tbey christened him " The Lucky Boy . " Now just read this nineteenth proposition , by which it appears John gave his days to Hobson and his nights to me , and by an arrangement on the "
community principle , " by which the expense of insurance , coals , gas , and partly rent , fell upon me , "The Lucky Boy" was enabled , while receiving 1001 . from me for his whole service , to put by the whole of that , by an arrangement made with his host Josh . 'Fore Gad , but this Josh , has been a very hospitable fellow at my expense ; all I know is , that I put by nothing , and when Cleave s case is disposed of I shall have to refresh the host ' s memory with a grateful return he received from his guest .
_20 . __ Now , follow me through the inextricable labyrinth into which this incomprehensible ass has plunged himself . I was tried at York , I think , on the 17 th of March—that was my second trial—after the trial I left for London , thence I repaired to Liverpool , where I was to be tried again in April after the Liverpool trial I repaired to London , thence to Hastings , where , from rowing without my coat , I got an inflammation on my lungs , and was on my back for a week or ten days , and , in consequence of which , the judgment passed by the Queen's Bench upon me was postponed for ten days or ar fortnight . From thence I was taken to the Queen ' s Bench , and thence to _Yorjt Castle . I didn ' t receive 400 J . nor 40 / ., nor , on my soiil I believe , a fraction , nor did I try , from any agent connected

withthe _^ forf / _tern Star , nor had I time to traverse Lancashire and . Yorkshire . Now what do you think , ofthis gabey ? He thinks wtthSheridanj "Thata lie is as good as the truth as long as it lasts . " - _^ 21 . —Now for a finisher .

show from figures , next week , ; that : during'the time that Mr Williams was my " _'derk , _iip to June * 1839 , there was alw _aysi' _large _: _ba _^ _ance in my favour at the end of each m 6 ntn _^ w . hile there ' s not a single , entry , in the _^ . _casl * , _! book ; qf one fraction advanced bf Ardill , ' or Hobson , or any man living but . myself . Iri _veryjtruthit was in constant jeopardy , from the very first hourjof this gentleman ' s connection with it , and from the hour that I got rid of my stair to tlie present hour the Star has been a 1 _profitable property , and , I think that this is the fitting place to offer a . comment or two upon the general management of the Star from the week that it came to London till the week that Messrs Ardill and Hobson left the _establish-, ment , and fr _# m that week to the present .
The readers will remember that the delivery was late , four weeks in five ; they will remember the _samepage being printed twice over in the same number ; they will remember the four and five column leaders of rubbish about . Odd Fellows , the Grey Family / Tulips , and other subjects—leaders written at the hour wben the paper should be at press , Mr Hobson sitting between Cobheit ' s Register and the Times newspaper for the week , making a hash of the past and present , and then spicing it to the amount of 4 ? . odd in one week charged for editorial corrections , additions , and alterations , and not
unfrequently _? rom 3 ? . to 8 J . paid by the printer for late postage of the papers . ' - ' Such was the management ofthe Star under those gentlemen , au my servants going weekl y without their wages , receiving I . O U ' a from Mr Ardill ; . while , again , in April 1845 , it appeared that I owed tbis gentleman a further sum of between fOOl . and 1 , 0001 ., arid for 500 ? ., of which he preferred my editor ' s security to my own , or rather requested him . as joiritsecurity , his library being valued at 600 ? . or' 700 /;; and from that hour , till Igotrid of him , _he-received every fraction ofthe moneydueby the agents , and I did not receive 507 . from that day till
got rid of him , which was . eight or nine months , ' and when heleft me / asthe . _bookfvjshowj . he had ; to pay me a balance of ' fit . " , after receiving all the money ; . and when I was pressed ,-wrote to Mr Heywood of Manchester not to advance me a farthing . This , the whole case , " I submitted to counsel , along with my books , and the agreement , and I read counsel ' s opinion for Mr Ardill , in presence of my nephew and Mr M'Gowan , and which , I _believD _, induced Mr Ardill to spttle , A copy of that opinion is at the service ofthe Manchester Examiner ; but I did not act upon it , and I also transmitted a copy of the case and opinion to Mr Ardill .
Now , since those gentlemen left , the Star has been a different paper—the delivery has rarely been late , the servants have never left the office on Saturday without their full wages , nor has there been a dispute or an angry word spoken at the office . But , while upon this branch of the subject ,. let me turn it to the more material , ; the more glorious purpose , —to the purpose of convincing the world how , in the midst of these trying " circumstances , with thousands of the Landmoney in my possession from April , 1845 ,. to Christmas , of the same year , I was giving this man security , and _borrowing money rather than touch a fraction of that which had been committed to my trust Is that an answer for you , ruffian ? Or have
you a swallow large enough to gulp that ? . 23 . —I was ousted by an election committee in July , 1835 , and let the ruffian write to Messrs Yates and Turner , who were my solicitors then , and have been ever since , and ask them whether ever ousted member paid the whole costs so promptly as I did ; or if I owed them a fraction in 1836 , riiuch more in 183 J " , ' 38 , or ' 39 . And now , as to the tailors' and shoemakers' trills that came to the office from Ireland and London : —the day I started the Star , I didn't owe 100 ? . in the world , nor half the money . But , if this fellow doesn't know what became of the money , I do . ¦
24 . —I did write an apology to John Ardill at that date , and offered to pay for its insertion in the Leeds Mercury and in the Star ' . ; and I received a letter in answer from John Ardill , saying that the apology was more insulting than the libel , and one from . his solicitor , stating Mv Ardill's readiness to submit the accounts to arbitration . I then wrote another apology , again offering to pay for its insertion , but it never was _' published ; and I wrote that apology upon the grounds that , for the first time , I understood _Mr'Ardill was . willing to submit the accounts to arbitration , and to go
fairly into them , thus leaving the field clear 01 prejudice for all parties . I then pit the affair into Mr Roberts ' s hands , when Mr Ardill appointed Joshua Hobson , of Leeds , ACCOUNTANT , - ( bless the mark 1 ) aa arbitrator upon his part , and I appointed a gentleman upon my part , objecting to Mr Hobson , under any circumstances , as well from incompetency as malevolence . Jt was then proposed to submit the accounts to Mr Richard Oastler , and to this I acquiesced ; but I am now resolved , as soon as Cleave ' s case is over , to submit them to a court of justice .
As to William Rider ' s slander and libel—as it is called—there was much ofit I never heard before , and he stated his willingness to take his oath as to the correctness of his every assertion . I have now answered those several propositions , and I'll make a flying commentary upon matters that are mixed up with the " Lucky Boy's" interesting biography . With regard to Mr Bower , who supplied the type—I never was sued by him : I never saw the man three times
in my life . I never had an angry word with hini or a dispute ; but I'll tell you what _happenedi Josh , purchased 500 / . worth of printing materials upon my account , and on my return to London , I mentioned the amount—being wholly ignorant of the matter myself—to a person who had been connected with the printing department ofthe True Sun newspaper ., when he opened his eyes ' . and said , "Good God , sir , for a weekly newspapert * I replied , " Yes . " Impossible , sir , he answered . However , I paid it , and very shortly

after Josh ., who borrowed 10 .. to bring him to Leeds , started a splendid printing establishment ; and , curious to say , _anjimmense quantity of type called Long Primer , useful to printers , and which was only used for the Siar up to the 9 th of . March , 1838 , ( four months after its establishment ) vanished from . my side of the street to Josh . _' s side of the street . In 1840 , 1 think , I made him a present ofa printing press that , as well as I remember , cost me _lOOguineas . W hen I wanted to _puifchase new type for the Star ,. I made , a contract . myself , and purchased more than enough for Ml . " \ And this bill of

He says : —
I am obliged-to a correspondent In last Tuesday ' s Ex aminer for setting me on tht stent of a pamphlet published by Mr ' O'Connor himself , at tha latter end Of 1843 , entitled f Reply to Mr Hill ' . _Scabbard' In It 1 find much that will fa » _« tefnl In tbe way ot corroboration f mr statements . For the present I _tontent myself with tne extracts that correspondent gave . They fully bear ne out—and expose the khaye wbo conld write tte * as lie did , _kntwlng the ( acts tobe untrue-, or -who could say nnd write now se he does , knowing the fait- formerly put _ferth to be tme .
It Is necessary to remark that It Is to Mr Hill that O'Connor is writing In the following extracts ;—' Mr Ardill , _trho has been ia my employment linee the Ntrthern Star commenced , hai tome money ef hit own unemployed , and which he kindly lent to some friends who conld make use ofit ; you among the manner . In process of time Mr Ardill entered into some _eitensiTospecBlatlens of bis own . He purchased a plot of ground and some buildings , and erected about fourteen geod dwelling houses as well : he took a large farm and stocked it , and famished his bease . He also entered Into the _cardtnaklng business , _parchasing the requisite machinery , These speculations _absorbed all Mb capital , and made it
_neeessary for him to call in what was in the hands of his friends ; yours among the rest ; Tou know that he gave you notice to tbat effeet ; aad you know that yon were unable to meet his demands . What waB yonr case , was also the _csbq with others . And there was Mr Ardill _^ _idt / i plenty of money * fhisotm , looked up In your hands and in . tbe hands bf others , but yet unable to meet bis own de- ! sands , and the demands tbat I bad _npen him ; - —Reply to > H _0 l ' * _'ScabUrd ? page 14 . • - ' \ - y - ' _. " ¦ " . _•' - ¦' ¦ .- ) ' - Now , then , prepare your _^ ear 9 . for ' the ;;_ exp 6-sure of'thei blackest piece _. ofyillahy , jBy ' er practised : by mortal man . " . ~ The portion of . my pamphlet written to Mr Hill in 1843 > to which
the above-paragraph refers , was in consequence of an assertion made by him that he had "been a party to procure a loan of 3001 . for me , from the Rev . Mr Scholefield / and thai John Ardill had also been a party to the same _. trahsaction ; and never having heard a sentence of it , as soon as I read Mr Hill ' s pamphlet , I instantly enclosed it to Anlill and Hobson for _explanation . And now mark the source from whence this supposed laudation of John Ardill by me
came . Here I print from the ' . manuscript of Joshua Hobson himself , attested by . a number of creditable witnesses , the : very matter which he charges me with having written" and which he thanks a correspondent for' having sent ! I give you it unaltered , together with his letter accompanying it , and while it stamps him as a rascal , you may also cull some perfumed words from this sentimental writer , who repudiates the use of vulgar language . Here is the
letter—Leeds , Monday night , Jany . 12 , 1844 . Dear Sir , — -Enclosed you have Ardill ' s answer to Mr Hill ' s attack upon him . The first is as though it was from your pen , we thinking it would be _moie forcible in tbat shape ; . and the repl y to the . second edition , is in the first person , from Ardill himself . Of course you can make what other comments , on eilhei * head , you p lease .. Here you have the facts— * * ¦ ¦ " *
Here is the manuscript from which _Hobsohk quotation is taken 'I now approach your last . _* ' fact- " your '' one fact more . " And here ! must confess my utter want of words to describe your meanness ; yonr unparalleled baseness , treachery , and infamy . These are far beyond , _> all that I ever , conceived of , much more met with in actual life . But we will first have your own words ; anil damning and damnable words they are . Here is your " fact . " . * * #
When I read your "fact , " I was amazed . You know that every word of it , every scintilla of it , was perfect news to me ; tou know that of the transaction which you have thus cooked-up for me , I was entirely , utterl y _^ absolutel y ignorant . You _kkott that to me it was a perfect blank ; for you knew that I tad been purposely kept ignorant of the little foundation even that you had for your " fine story . "
It was natural , therefore , that I should inquire , and endeavour to learn what " it was all about . " I have inquired ; and found to my sorrow that the transaction proves you to be the veriest rascal—the most ungrateful and ' incomprehensible scoundrel on earth . The " facts" are as follow .- —That Mr Ardill , who has been in my employ almost ever since the Northern Star commenced , had some money of his own unemployed , and which he kindly / eni ! to someof his friends who could make use of it , tod amongst tbe number . In process of time , Mr .
Ardill entered into speculations of bis own . He purchased a plot of ground , and some buildings , and he erected some fourteen dwellings more . He also entered into the card-making business , purchasing for that purpose the requisite machinery . These speculations " absorbed " his capital , and made it necessary for him to draw-in , what was iri tbe hands of bis friends , your ' s amongst the rest . You know that he yam you notice to thai _<^^ - and yon know tbat you wasunable , to comply -with his demand . What was your case , Was . th . e case with others ; and there Mr . Ardill

WAB , u _piemy 01 money . 01 --- www , ( locKed-upT » . _pKr hands , and in tbe hands of others ); but yet unable to meet his owa demands , ' aiid" ihe demands that I had oa him . It therefore became a serious quesT tion witb bim what he was to do .- _^ He consulted with you , and another mutual friend . By all three it was deemed the most advisable course to open a banking account for Mr . Ardill , so that money could be procured from thence , till Mr . Ardill could get his own out of the bands of his
friends . It was at that conference that words were used by Mr . Ardill , which you bave hoisted so horribly to bear against me . Mr Ardill explained that his . affairs . had come to such a pass , that if be had not help from somewhere be must stop . H « said '' I must either force the . payment of the-monies due to me , or sell my property , to enable me to meet the engagements / am bound lo meet , tf this account with the bank cannot be procured ; " and he further explained that if such account could b * opened ; he would not press those who had his money for payment , but allow tbem to retain it to a more convenient season- —you amongst the rest .
To get this banking account , a security for some three hundred pounds was wanted . It was arranged that you sbould apply _t- _» a friend you named . You _went'for that purpose . You had to-go several limes . Before the matter was closed you w « re _dischargedJrom . ' the Star . You went onoe after that ,. telling _^ . Mr . _Ardtil that my _covvductItowards , yo « . had made-no . different * in _yourfriehdsnip for . him ; and that , if you could Serve him ( and yourself ) you would . Still y & it Jailed . You did not prevail on your frierfd to give the security asked for . You know that that security was procured by another person ; and you know also that that / act made no difference in Mr . Aid' ill ' s
conduct , towards you . He allowed you to retain money , you had in your hands belonging to him . Now you well know tbat of the entire of this transaction I was profoundly ignorant * and purposely kept so . You know that you , yourself , explained to tbe gentlemen you asked to g ive security that I did not know of it ; and you even requested him not to telI * i . i * fi . You know that tbe account was opened at another , and a different bank
from that with which I -dealt . You know that the necessity for it arose as abov _» - stated , and that with that necessit y I had nothing to _; do . You know'that it was solely to accommodate Mr . Ardill and yourself , that you Went all your journies , and took all your pains _; ' ( and which , bythe-by , Mr Ardill ' . paid _/ ypufor ) i & n &' now you would represent ; thai ; the ' necessity was " mine ; . and .. _^ at ' yg u \ B _^ to the favour for , me _^ Qui ' upon you ! yoa Se » . rascal ! . _;•< _.-h ; _'t _: ! ,

Also , mark the strong evidence it
affords against the possibility of Ardill advancing money for me ; he speaks OF HIS _^ LIABILITIES TO ME , and tells you how all his capital was ABSORBED in _speculations land always bear in mind that Hobson writes ; the above as ARDILL' _^ ANSWER . ; TO HILL ; Perhaps , there , ; never j ; appeared- in .- print a more complete conviction of an accuser * yet ; as I am resolved to leave' no _partof'this'" whole subject unravelled , I promise Vou a _firiisffbf this
affair in next week's . _SiAR , and with . which , I close , and in that I will not only analyse every oneof this fellow ' s last , assertions , but I will convict him , out ' of his own mouth , of high crimes and misdemeanours , and offences ; and I promise him a revelation for ; which he is but little prepared . I have received numerous letters about other cunning backers ofthis fellow at Huddersfield , whose . Emigration Scheme I spoilt , and who had much better mind their own affairs . There are a good
MANYGOODDIES IN AND FROM HUDDERSFIELD , who bave done tbeir little best , but I wish them joy . I promise you that there shall be no more ofthis in your paper , as I shall finish ail next week , and it has been my pride that , since I dismissed my staff the " Star , " has ceased to-be a receptacle for the abuse of disappointed men . You will observe that I have
given more of Hobson's and Ardill ' s reply to Hill than Hobson has .,, published from the pamphlet ; and you will also see that its authenticity is , vouched by Mr Harney , HIS sub-editor , Mr Rider , HIS clerk , and Messrs M'Gowan , printers of Hobson ' s articles . ! I have yet ten folios ofthe joint production of Ardill and Hobson , the manuscript from whichmy reply to Hill was printed , and if I haven ' t been as good as my word / when I promised Josh . 4 _balus that he wouldn't swallow no pledge has eTer . been redeemed .
