WORTHY OF IMITATION . TO THE EWTOE OF TBE NOBTHERH STAE . O'Connorville , August 2 nd , 1 S 47 . Sib , —Tho following letter , received by our fellow allottee , Mr Tawes , having been read nt our weekly meeting , held in the school-room , July 27 . th , I was instruited to forward it to you , aud to beg the favour of its inseuw tion in the Stae . Permit me to say that I concur in the views expounded by the writer , and that I hope ' other institutions and individuals will follow the example ' so praisenorthily set by the'Operative Library . * I bag to subscribe myself , sir , yours respectfully , — Sami , Secretary . Juh 16 th , 181 ";
Deae Sir , —In accordance with resolutions passed at a . general meeting of the different Operative Libraries in Nottingham , and its ueinity , I now take theopportu . nity to address you , 88 you have lately left the more im . mediate neighbourhood ; excuse me as a ' stranger in doin ^ so . It is the prevailing opinion amongst us and our members , that you have tho honour to be one of the first pioneers in a great movement , intended to clear awi » y the accumulated rubbish of generations long gone by , in fact to emancipate the working classes from , most of the troubles they are heirs to ; to let England aud the World sea it is possible to rsise ourselves in the condition of society without a bloody convulsion , or uEing the ' argument' of tyrants to raiso us from the slough of competition , and place before us a comfortable independence , or at least give us a fair day ' s wage fora fssir day ' s work—a state of things so long looked for in vain . ¦
Such being our opinion , it appears to us that a fearful rtsponsibility rests with you and your fellow allottees , in the attempt to realise the hopes above indicated , while we agree , that en our part we should be neglecting our duty did we not assist you by all the means at our command . As the cultivation of the minds ofyonr companions must bo of some consequence , and have a tendency to make them happy and contented , we hava come to the resolution of lending you a certain number of hooka , not fora given time exactly , but until you have" no further use for them , or wo may make application for their
return , or probably until you can procure a library of your own . I must now request you to write as soon at possible , informing me the best way of send ng the books . We should likewise bo glad to hear of your welfare , < tc . Hake what use you please of this letter , Perhaps it might be as well to make it public , as other institutions might follow our example . Yours , truly , Hesby Khadse , Secretary , To No . I Library . if . B ; I hear there are four Operative Libraries in Nottingham , and one at Kadferd .

TO C . P . V 1 LLIERS , ESQ ., M . I ' . Sib , —I deem it my duty not only to myself , but to the electors and non-electors of the borough of Wolverhainpton , to make a few remarks on your conduct at the hustings , on the day of nomination , and to comment oi . the evasive , shuffling and unprincipled answers which you gave to the questions then and there put to you . In the first place , you were asked to explain ' tho reasons why you voted against the Ten Hours' Bill V Your answer was , 'that you . were not award tho workingclasses wanted less money for working for , than they have at present , that there are times of great commercial depression , when work is very scarce , and that it would be hard to prevent men from working as many hours as they pleased , when they could get plenty of employment . '
Sir , tlie abova answer was a lame and mlserablo attempt to exonerate yourself from that foul stair , which your vote on the factory ' question lias fastened upon your public character . It was a vain attempt to justify your conduct in the eyes of the working classes . Apparently you ate uot aware of the fact , that tho great bulk of working-men aro politicians ; that their opinions hav-s undergone a complete revolution ; that whereas formerly they thought none but your class ( I mean tbe aristocracy ) had a right to participate in legislative matters—they have been driven by oppression to inquire why they , in the midst of plenty , have suffered want , misery , and oppressian ? whilst your cluas has been enjoying not only the necessaries , but the luxuries of life ; and they have justly artlvefl at tho conclusion that class legislation hat produced this unequal and appalling state oftbiog 3 .
But , to return to the question ; your answer was par . tial and one aided ; you were award of the fact that wo < men and children were the parties for whose b < . uefit the Ten Hours' Bill was projected , but jou had not tho candour , you had not the honesty , to state tins fact to the meeting . . Now sir , I ask you respectfully , plainly , and candidly —do you not thiulc ten hours a day more than cither a woman or child ought to work hi a close and unhealthy atmosphere ! Further ; would you like a mother , a wife , a sister , or any fe . usle for whom you entertain respectful feelings , to fce compelled to work from twelve to fourteen hours a daj In an unnatural and unhealthy position \ God forbid that you should be possessed of so small a share of humanity \ If you are , I , for one do not envy jour fcelincs !
In common with many cf my fellow working men I believe that long hours have a tendency to reduce wages and that a diminution of the hours of labour would have ! an opposite tendency , and I will give you inv reason for i entertaining that belief . Formerl y we had at our com . mand a good foreign trade ; »» . tlmt llme al , the manu . featuring ; power we « omn » d was put into requisition ; ™ i ™? a * , ?* ' night andb * i' • "" Oilier , was improved and goods .

bour exceeded tho dutnand , masters itiid 'r heavy stocks of goods and then roduced the men ' s wa £ e » . Well , 'ho mm were so oppressed at last , that tliejr were forced to make an attemp t to better their condition j they resolved upon trying short hours , and they now work half the time they did formerly , and can live better and get more money . The reason is obvious , they do not let the market get overstocked with their labour . So much foi loni ; hours . I now proceed to the next question , which is of paramount importance to the working classes , I mean the frauchiio . I asked you 'I / you would aupport a measure to confer the vote on evory man unstained by any capital offence who had attained to the age of 21 years « . ' Your
answer , sir , was a complete equivocation You attempted to make the people believe that you would give your support to such a measure ; whereas , you claimed the privilege of doing just as you pleased with regard to it . The electors , according to your answer , bave no right to control you ; you claim the privilege of exercising your own judgment in opposition to their united desires , if they do not make their opinions square with yours . Yet you call yourself the representative of t . Ue enlightened constituency of Wolverhampton ! What Ao you reprfsont ! Why , your own views , and you claim the right to da so !!
Now , » ir , strictly speaking , ought not an M , P . io bo the servant of hii constituents ? If you were engag ing a servant , add tbe day after yon had engaged him , yotf requested him to perform a certain duty , and he said— ' * think I liavo a right to please myself , I cannot see tftf utility of obeying your command , and I will not doit until I am thoroughly convinced it will be useful , ' would you not consider him an insolent fellow ? Ytt this is oxactly the treatment you give your constituents . Now , sir , I ask you by what right you and your clats deprive the working classes , who contribute a great ! r amount towards the maintenance of the State thnn all othor classes put together , oi the exercise of political rights ? Have they not the same nioe and sensative feeling 8 ! ' the same susceptibility ? tho same jwwer of exeicisine ; their rational faculties ? and , finally ; can they not vio witti your class in point of conduct and' general intelligence
Thtsij . sir , tell me from > what authority , yoir and your class derive the power , the power to degrade us beneath the dignity of men , and rob us- of the riglrts-nonfcrred upon U 9 by the laws of nature and tbe unerring laws of God ? ' God made man equal ; your class has- created an inequality amongst them .. All men are equal in-his sight , The bond , the frue the black , the white r He life to all and beinj gave , BUt never , never , made a slave !' I now proceed to the last question-. Mr Linnoy aske ! you , would you ; resign your seat for Wolvorhampton , in case you- should be returned fop South Lancashire ? . You , iu the most ungentlemaul y way , attempted to hold Linney up to the meeting as an object worthy of derision and contempt , for asking a foolish question , You said you were not aware that you had been elected far South Lanoashiro .
Now , honourable sir , did you not know that you had given your consent to becomes candidate for South Lancashire ? Did you not know that you wire oi . ly ranking a convenience—a kind of toolr—Of the * er » lightened constituents ' of thiB borough , who lu » v-.-ooi » fided so much in- your political honesty ? Did yo » not know that you only came to secure your seat for Wolrer hampton . in ease you should be defeated in South Lancashire ? And , finally , when Linney a » ked you the question , could you not have said— ' 'Tis true I hav « oftVrcd my services to the con » tituents of South Lancashiro , and , therefore , Mr Linney ' s question is a very proper one ; but I- am not in a position to answer it until the Lancashire election terminates . '
Such a course would have been too honest for yourpurposo ; and , therefore , you made a vain attempt to ma&e Linney appear a- , fool , . to prove yourself an honest man ! But the cat is now out of the bag—tha question is properly understood ; Linney's conduct is justified , and if you go to represent South Lancashire , you will have treated the electors of this borough with scorn and contempt , and will forfeit tho confidence and respect of overy honest man . Yours , & « ,, Thomas Almond .

MIDLAND CIRCUIT . Ethell v . Meredith . —Breacb os Tbomise op Mmu euge . —SUINO . A Female . —Mr Whitehurst , in stating this case to tho jury , said the plaintiff , Mr Stephen Bthcll , was an upholsterer of Ana-street , Sirniinghatn , and the defendant , a lady , residing with her brother in the village of Yardley , near that town . The action was brought to reeorer damages fur breaking a promise of marriage . The parties were not acquainted with each otlnr until the July of last year , when an intimacy was formed at the house of Mr Thomas Ethell , a nephew ol the plaintiff . Mr Stt-phen Ethell was a widower o £ 45 , having a daughter about 21 , and the defendant , Miss Meredith , was about 30 , Prom this it would be seen that there was no great or improper disparity of age .
After an acquaintance of some few weeks an attachment sprung up between the parties , and Miss Meredith intimated to Mr Thomas Ethell , the nephew , she contemplated a marriage with Mr Stephen , his uncle , aud requested that he would communicate with her brother upon the subject . He did so . The brother of the defendiint at that time approved of the connection ; and it was subsequently arranged that the marriage should take place in- the month of October . The defendant provided her marriage clothes , and tho plaintiff proceeded to niak « tbe necessary arrangements for the nuptials . A short time afterwaids Mis 9 Meredith declined to fulfil her promise ; and when requested to state the grounds of her refusal , sho stated , in the first instance , that her brother would not give his consent ; and that the plain .
tiff was too old ; and she did not like to marry a man of such an age . With respect to the plaintiff ' s age , he ( Mr Whitehotise ) presumed she knew that at tho time she entered into the engagement , but it was evident there was something behind . The plaintiff , in consequence of the conduct of the defendant , bad been the object of derision and laughter ; and thought that under the circumstance be could do no otherwise than bring the subject beforo a jury . The defendant had simply pleaded that she had not made nny promise . That would be seen by the evidence be ( Mr Wbitehurst ) should produce . Miss Meredith had secured the assistance of his learned friend ( Mr Hurafvcj- ) , viVwrn , pwrhapB , they had frequently heard , or heard of , in cases of that doscription . Uis friend would , no doubt , attempt to lau « h the case
out of court , and , if possible , he would got the jury to hush with him . He ( Mr Whitehurst ) was fond of fun , and ha had no doubt they would have a great deal of fun on that occasion . ( Loud laughter . ) His learned friend wauW a 8 k them what wounded feelings a man of 45 could possess ? How it was possible that ho could sustain damage by the loss of a matrimonial connectiou with a womau of 80 ? Erery case must , however , be judged by its own merits . The plaintiff did not ask for extravagant damages ; but although a man's feelings were not so strong as those of a woman , atill ho had his feelings ; and when injured and wounded , as they were in the instance now before them , it was the duty of tho jury to award reasonable damages . There would , he believed , be no dispute about the facts . The only
consideration would be the amount of damages to be awarded to the plaintiff . Tho learned counsel proceeded to call the following witnesses : —Mr Thomns . Ethell said he was acquainted with Miss Meredith , She was on a visit at their house last summer . Mr Stephen Ethell visited there , and he and Mi 6 s Meredith became acquainted . Tho plaintiff became attached to her , and Miss Meredith received his addresses favourably . H « continued his attentions . At the musical festival , in August , Miss Meredith was on a visit to the plaintiff ' s daughter , Sbo is 21 . The plaintiff is from 40 to 45 , and the defendant full 30 . During the time the defendant was on a visit to the plaintiff she told witness that she was about to marry the plaintiff , and that there was only one obstacle , that was her brother . She requested him to speak to her
brother upon the subject . Accordingly , one night at upper , after they had been to a meeting of the Church Pastoral Aid Society , the witness , addressing tho defendant's brother , who was present , and in reference to the intimacy then existing between the plaintiff and defendant said , 'You sea how comfortable they are together—( laughter ); now ' s the timo to speak —( continued laughter ) ; if you baveany doubts now mention them . ' Defendant ' s brother said he had none , aud that hit was quite willing , if they were . —Mr Miller : What did you do then 3 —Witness : I got up aud said , floil bless you both together . " ( Loud laughter . )—Mr Milltr : What did the brother sa ) ?— -Witness : ' So say I . ' ( Roars of laughter . ) It was afterwards arranged that tho marriage
should take place in October , on ths plaintiff ' s birth-day so that both the birth-day and the marria"l ' a day might th « n be kept together , ( Great laugh , ter . ) Subsequently tho defendant said it would be too aonn , and the day remained unflxed . ~ Cros 9 . oxamined by Mr Humfrey : Why , you do your respected ur . cle injustice , don ' t you ? Was he not the son of William and Mary Ethell ?—WitnesB : He was . —Hr Humfrey : Is he not near _ 60 ?—Witness : No , I believe he is uot . Mr Humfrey : { Is it , then , the custom of your family to be baptised before they are born ? ( Laughter . )—Witness : No , I believe not . How can they * ( Laughter , )—Mr Humfrey : Why , was not your respected uncle , according to the registry I hold in my hand , baptised in tho year 1800 ?—Witness : 1 don ' t know . I don't believe him to

I went to school with him , and I am 40 Mr Humfrey : This thoughtless young man became acquainted with the young lady In July , and made this proposal after a meeting of tho Pastoral Aid Society ?—Witness : Yes ; that was on the 1 st of Sojt ., and the marriage was appointed for October , I flo not believe Miss Meredith is more than 30 , because tny wUu went to school with her , and » he is 29 . —Mr Humfroy : Yes ; bnt you know that is no criterion , You went to school witu your rcBuectednnele .

action against a woman for a breach of promise of marriage in which tho action was not dictated by cupidity Wag it likely tbat mich ft marriage would ever have been a happy marriage ? He asked them as fatherg and brothers , having wives and sisters , whether they would , by their verdict , sanction such an action ? The plaintiff had come there to get money out of the pockets of the defendant , which he knew he could not get by marriage . Her friends had interfered to prev « nt that abomination . He ( Mr Humfrey ) admitted that if a promise had been made and fcroken , there must be a
verdict for the plaintiff ; but he hoped , for the credit of the country , it would be of the smallest possible coin known in the circulating medium of tho realm—that would be a hundred thousand times more than he deserve'd . —Lord Denman supposed tho jury would agree with him that there had been a promise , and that it bad been broken . The only question therefore was as to the amount of damages . He seed not trouble them with any observations upon that point . The evidence th « y had heard would direct them . —The jury found a verdict —Damages , one farthing .
OXFORD CIRCUIT . EXTRAOHDIMAEI Case of McRDEB . —John Skinner , a pale and weak-looking young man , was charged with the wilful murder of his wife , Sarab . Skinner , on . the 2 nd of June last , at Clifton . It appeared that a few days before the evening in question the prisoner and hit . wife had some words , which ended in blows . On the evening of her death , while drinking tea , John Irnin , her brother , canu- into the bouse , and observing some bruises on her arms , and that she seemed much indisposed , , ; sked her what was tho matter . The prisoner being pv'esent at this time , she aniwered that she had fallen do \ vn a ladder a few dayt ago , but at the same time gave him a wink , which induced him to suspect that tho prisoner had beecn ill using her . Upon this he remarked ,
that if people could not live happily together as man and wife , they ought to separate in peace . To this expression of opinion the prisoner replied to the effect , that Irwin did not know who was in fault , and that some people were so fond of quarrelling that it was impossible to live on good terms with them . To this the brother-in-law an . 8 werod , ' Any how , that is not a characteristic of my fumilj . ' Upon this the prisoner rose from hii seat , and told Irwin to leavo the room . He got np to comply with the order , but bis sister seized him by the arm and besought him to stop , or the prisoner would kill her . Yielding to this solicitation , he was about to sit down again , when the prisoner attempted to push him out . A struggle ori 9 Hedj . and both fell on the bed . The prisoner seized a knife ; drove him through fear of it to the door , aai ,
as soon as lie was outside , dealt him a blew with the left hand , which precipitated hits down two or three stair * . Here hi ; paused to listen , to ascertain , if possible , what the prisoner was at ; but all was still , until , ' all in a moment ,, he was startled by a dreadful' smash ; ' at the same time people who were walking in tbe street below sw tbe deceased fallingheadlong from the windenr to the iirunnd . Ifrwaa a window on-tho third floor . The poor woman was immediately raised from tha grr . und , but her skull was fractured ; . sho sighed' heavily ones or twice , never spoke , and broatbed her last in a few moments . One of the passers by , who saw- her come flyiug out of the window , heard' her at the same instant utter a piercing shriek ; , a second noticed that the window was closed immediately afterwards ; whilst a third declared
ibat he saw a band draw the window into the casemsnt , close and fasten it , The room was then opened , the window was found shut , and mads tight with the button attached to it ; the knife before referred to was on a shelf , in an-open- cupboard , and the-prisoner was lying nt full length on the bed . Upon being asked by the peace-officer what was the matter , he said a quarrel had arisen between himsoK and wife , that her brother had interfered , that bo had driven him from the room , and then laid himself down , and that , on turning himself round he saw the hair of his wife ' s head loose , as she fell from thfr window ; that he them got up and shut it . The policeman'further said , that when the prisoner was informed that his wife lay dead on the ground , ho smiled , and fell back again on the bed .
Mr Huddleston , who appeared for the prisoner , got out , on cra ^ f-exaraination , that tho deceased was a strong , fully developed woman ; that the window was so small that it would have required very considerable violence to ha"e forced her body through ; that the prisoner was himself in bad health at the time , and was by no means a powerful person . The learned counsel then called a child , Daniel Clanahy , aged about seven years ami a half , who atated that be and two other boys were sleeping on the 'laisdins ' of the prisoner ' s room on that night ; that he was aroused by the first noise , go tup , saw the man Irwin forced out , and while the door was open
noticed the deceased go to the window , open it , ami throw herself out ; that tho prisoner , on retmning to tho room , saw at once « bat had happened and after a short pause went and buttontd up the -window . This evidence , both as to the position of the . parties , time , and circutr .-stances , was very closely tested by the counsel for the prosecution , but the \ ad didno \ waver ; liis demeanour aud mode of giving his testimony , in fact , drew down an expression of approbation from his lordship , who remarked that it was improbable tbat any amount of tutoring could prepare so young a person for concocting such a story , and so weU supported , if it were
not true . Mr Justice Erie summed up most carefully , and told the jury that if they believed the evidence of the boy they should acquit the prisoner altogether . —The prisoner was found Not Guilty . WESTERN CIKCUIT . Charoe op Mokdeb . —¦ Maurice Perry , aged 28 , was indicted for the wilful murder of John Bailey , in the parish of Batbampton on tbe 28 th June lust , tho dc . censed bdng at the time a * constable in the execution of his duty .
On Monday evening the 2 Sth June lsst a number of ' railway men , ' including the prisoner , were assembled together at the George public-house , at Batbampton . A quarrel arose botween two men named Daiuton and I ' otter , and it was arranged that they should adjourn to a neighbouring field to fight . After the men had been lighting for some timo constable Thomas Smith interfered , and was immediately knocked dewn by one of the persons in the ring . At tbe same time Bomebody exclaimed , I will kill any constable that comes into tho field . ' The deceased John Bailey , then came up in his shirt sleeves , and , according to the testimony of some of the witnesses , said to the prisoner , ' I am a constable , and if you don't stop fighting I must take you . ' Whereupon the prisoner said , ' Ho didn't care for any cor . sta .
ble , ' and immediately knocked the deceased down , Whe . ther or not the prisoner was the man who actually struck the constable in the first lnstauce , it would ap . pear that he kicked him whilst on tbe ground , and struck him as he was about to rise . Tho result of the affray Wns , that J . Bailey was carried off the field a dead man . On thu following day a post mortem examinat . ou took place , aud the opinion of the surgeon was , that the death was caused by an . effusion of blood lathe cavity of the chest , arising Irom the rupturo of a large vein beneatls the collar bone . This vein being close to the heart syncope was produced , and death must have been instantaneous . There was also an effusion of blood at the base of the brain , and there were external marks of violence on the left arm and on the forehead
The injury to the brain was most probably the result of a fall , and tin ; rupturo of the blood-vessel must have b-en produced by a violent blow , or by the body coming in contact with soma hard substance . The witnesses all agreed as to the fact of tho prisoner taking an active part in the sffray ; and it was positively stated by more than oue person that fce was the tnau who knocked Bailey down . It should be stated that a man named Samuel Crawlny was Indicted for being present aiding and abetting Maurice Parry in the commission of the offonce ; but he has avoided being taken into custody . Henry Crawley was also charged , but only upon the coroner ' s inquisition , with being coaceruedin the aft ' air . Chief Justice Wilde , in summing up , told the jury that if , upon looking at the whole of the evidence , they should be of opinion that a mob was collected on the
occasion in question , and that the prisoner was one of that mob , engaged in the unlawful act of preventing , by violent means , tbe efficor from executing his duty , they must find him guilty of murder , although theymlght not think that his was the hand which actually stru U the fatal blow . The jury deliberated for upwards of half an hour , when the foreman aunouueed that they found the prisoner guilty of being a party concerned , but they did no think there was sufficient evidence that he gave the fatal blow . The Judge : Concerned in what , Gentlemen ? A Juryman : Iu the murder . The Judge : That ia a verdict of guilty , if you find that the deceased was on the field executing his duty . as a constable , by endeavouring to stop the fight , and that the prisoner waa engaged in preventing him by acts of violence , you must find him guilty , but if you should think otherwise , your verdict must be one of not guilty . The jury again tam ? 4 round , and , after a very brief consideration , returned a verdict of Guilty ,
nis lordshi i . then pat ou tho black cap , and passed uenknee upon the prisoner who was perfectly csol aud collected throughout , via left the bar protcstio ^ ia in . noceuce . Several of the jurymen wero deepl y » ffer- . ' ted at the result of the inquiry , and some of them ! ' jb' -d t « ara when the verdict was returned .

THE LATE FATAL GUN COTTON EXPLOSiJ FATBItSHAM . Robert Gheeaman ; who appeared to have s <* most severely , was accommodated with a seat , , , n I reside in the parish of Preston nnxt I ' trvcrjw'i am in the employ of Messrs Hall , at their fa «« 1 was employed there when the accident toot plaM , . Kth of July laBt . I had charge of the fires j n » ] and i stoves . The temperature I was direct-d »«? up was 120 degrees for Ifo . 3 , and 110 degrees fOf V As near as I can say those were the degrees of h ' ! l the stoves on the morning of the accident . Jfr- W > Hall , one proprietor , and Mr Topping , ' the n , ' ^ were both at the works frwn an earl y hour in-thai ? ing , and neithsr of them eoroplained of anytbW wrong . I was engaged in my usual duty abomhtf hour before , the accident ocf urred , and I am unit
the heats wero a » I have stated . I was j n No ? " when the accident occurred ; I heard no explosion , f momentary , and I- cannot tell how it took place i ' not know where the explosion-first occurred , wheih No . 3 or So . 4 . I was buried in the ruiDs of the ' * * ing room of No . 3 , about four or five feet from , J had just previousl y been standing . I wa 3 &t 3 £ - jured , and was removed to mj home . The \ ni \ nL as to working the stoves given by Mr Hall and y J ping were carried oat is every particular so far as I , able to say . I have nothing further to state in rtfj to the neaident . Every precaution waa invariant w for the prevention of accident . Mr William Halh the principal manager . I ascertained the heat cf drying room by means of self-acting thermo ^ placed there for that purpose . No other por « m ^ myself had control of the fires . A wohwi bu M'Ewen was employed on the stoves ; she had acc =. i
and might have seen tbe thermometers , I hav e nc collection of her having spoken to me on the sutp . overheating the stoves . She certainly nenr tolj ' that if I did not keep the fires lower they should a !! blown up . I asked her during that morning to a some starch , but I have no recollection of havinjipi with her on any other subject . My wife ( since & «« was employed in the works on the morning » f th : r dent ; she made no complaint to me on thes « iJhject « ' heat . I have been in the employ of Messrs Hall fc the last 15 years , and perfectly understood th ? j cerous nature of the occupation I was engaged t cannet attach blame to any person in conatWi the accident . When I last saw tho fire in Jfo . 4 , i : > nearly out . The time required to raise the tempm eight or ten degrees is 2 or 3 hours . If the stoves » cold it would take li or 14 hours at least to obit temperature of 110 degrees in tbe drying room .
The court was here cleared for some time , and : subsequsnt proceedings it appears to have been tt \ among the jury to request the coroner to proceed tj J residence of the woman M'Ewen , in the townofrVJ ham , for the purpose of ascertaining whether st ; J persisted in the statement she was alleged toll made to the effect that she bad warned Chcesemd the morning of the accident , not to overheat : stovo- - . The coroner and the foreman of the jury , toga : with the Messrs nail , Mr Bathurst . and Mr Slup-r accordingly proceeded to the residence of the [ ireferred to , the proceedings having been meantiwi ourned for one hour
Mary M'E wen said , she was employed at Messiah works , and attended at seven o ' clock , as usual , on i morning of the accident . Her general employs : ' picking dressed cotton in No . 3 stove . On that rear she was making starch from lialf-past eight to baity ten , close b y the stokehole fire , which is quire n from the room where the cotton is dried . Ko fee ever kept inside the building , tho heat arising ftasa : ation from the ' gloom pot , ' The fireplace orffii hole was outside the building . Witness retuffii the drying-room about half . past ten . The witnas * tmued—Cheesman , as he usually did after breiSi shovelled on about five or six shovels of coals nhKi was making the starch . Nothing more than usualpi » between us . The heat was not so great that moii it
as bad been on other mornings . I am speites No . 3 stove . I had nothing to do with No . 1 . Theb was usually 120 in No . 3 . It might exceed Ut » three degrees sometimes , and sometimes it was Is . do wot understand the working of the tbcrmomew . judged of the heat by what I heard others s : iy . fheat had been much greater than it vras I could no ' - told it from the thermometer . When the « p ' < took place I was in the s * pv » jtist by the « M * * '¦] bench , I had picked one case oi cotton , uud * m ? to fetch another when the door of the drying roos i open The bricks and rubbish fell about , anil ' blown outside . I never heard any noise . The t « kuew of the accident was when I saw tbe stove * fly open . I never made any observation to ChaS
that morning respecting the heat of the stove . 1 * have said something by way of joke , about a «* M fortnight before , 6 uch as , ' Why , Cheesmau , do you « to send us all adrift V when the heat was so very f but I never meaut anything serious . I have never * any one that I Oid make such remark to Cli ««» morning . There hnve been a great man / fsl * ports made of what I have said . If a »?; sayb I did make such a remark that mo * they say what is not true . It was ve 3 f and sultry on the mornins of the accident . H'ls felt the heat too oppressive I opened the door , « lowered it two or three degrees directl I 4 #
y . SO that morning , but I had asked Mrs Clarks to * and she was just going to do so when the acciW curred . Mr Uall was frequently in the stow , a " been there twice tbat morning . I have heard bifl or twice complain of the heat in the wiat « r time ,: " then always gave instiuctions that it siouM be lo « He said nothiug about the heut tbat mownvis . I ' always very particular , and would na * sr allow ^ cotton or 'ftou .-h' to lie about , lte was alwaysti and , of course , was liable to tho same danger a- ' selves . I have no fault to find with , any one . l& found Cheesman very steady , vcr ? cartful , aiwl ^ tuntivs .
