^ Lnmediateiy ^ oa ' . reiBeimg thjs document Mrs . Watson scraped bMrether a little money and came to Londop i where " she was robbed while passing iip Fleet-street of every- snffling she bad in the world ; and . also a retura ticket she bad obtained to go fack to . Scotland with . , She gave : information at the police-station of thati district , and through the kmaness of Insp ? ctor . Scott she obtained a fresh twket . ^ 'Bnt be fore , reluming she determined , to seeTHr . O'Connor ' personally , and she accordingly called" at his residence , when she was informed that he ; was from home !; She called the following morninjjTearly ; and , on sending in her name , she was informed that Mri * O'Connor was at home ; but not up , and requested to call again in an hour ; but , believing this was x > nljr a nue . to . gefc rid of her , she said she would" wait an hour in the hall , upon hearing which Mr . O'Connor dressed himself and came . down . The result of the interview was , that Mra . Watson was left to get what shecbnld , and how flhfeconldi andBhe was advised to apply to a solicitor , and toplace the : matter in hii hands } Accordingly , Mr . Fry : was requested to attend to the case ,. and , after writing several times to Mr . O'Connor without being able to elicit any kind of an swer , he determined to apply to this court for a summons against Mr . O'Connor to show cause why he detained the amount claimed by Mrs . Wat-BOO . ¦ ¦ - ¦•¦ - ¦ ¦ ..-: ... , ... . ¦ , . ; . .
Alderman Chauis said he could not grant a summons , as the case was not one that could come under his iurMiction . The amount was £ 50 , and that was beyond , the . statute allowed to be received bya summons in a court of sammaxyjarisdiction . Now , I request tW reader strictly to peruse my **** & i X never did send this woman any acknowledgment of any money due to her , nor did I eTer write her a letter , although the report itatea that the receipt of one from me was the cause of her coming tb'L ' ( Jridon ; And I will give the reacter a ^ veritable and . incontrd-Tertible . statement as to my conduct and her : « radHct She called ^ t my " house , anS in the presence of Mr . Hbt ^ iii , my secretary ,, told me , fliat all she required , was an acknowledgment for the money . ' I told her that I knew nothing of the affair , but that , as she wa « « n elderly jroman , andt as I believed the money bjufbeeti paid into the Land Company , she should haveit back ^ , 5 he replied - " Oh , GOD BLESS TOUi "; Itold her , tiiat as I had no available funds , she mustjiot expect it before six . months ; ^ he said ' . ^ Tfl ' at would dn , if I would give her a written' acknowledgment . " Mr , HEWrrairrote tiie acknowledgment , I signed it , sho took it up , kissed my hand , and again repeating "Ob , GOD BLESS YOU , " left the room . Now , will the reader believe , that on the following morning I received a letter from hersolicitordemanding immediate payment ? This pious solicitor
, in uib statement to the court , says : " That he made several applications to me for the money "—whereas he only made one . The press , to secure sympathy for this woman , states , that ahe is , ninety years of age , while the fact is , that Bhe is about sixty , or a little more . ' . Now , my statement is not upon the evidence of a Solicitor , but upon evidence , not one word of which is exaggerated , or can be controverted . And I think it vould be but justice to the honest Land Members , if this old HARRIDAN never received one fraction of her claim , while its misrepresentation will give ^ the reader a fair instance of the lying hostility against which I have had to contend , arid which no PORTION OF THE PRESS ever fails to circulate and exaggerate . Now , in order to convince the reader that the censure of slaves is adulation , and to convince him that I freely publish the slander of my moBt reviling enemieB , I beg to Submit th 9 following circular , issued by the WHISTLER AT THE PLOUGH :-THE O'CONNOR LAND SCIIEME AND " ONE WHO HAS WHISTLED AT THE PLOUH .

On receipt of this reply , I wrote the following letter to the Judge : — ¦ ..: ( Copy . ) ' . "Hou 8 eof Correction , Westminster , . ¦ " Saturday , WthMavch , 1849 . "Mt Lord , —By the warrant of . my committal to the House of Correction , Westminster , according to the interpretation of the magistrates of this prison , ani , and have now been during nearly nine . months , subjected to '' pick ; oakum , ' or else fined for not doing so ; to the " silent' 8 ystem " --to solitary
confinement—or else to the liability of being associated in the same room with about 200 criminals of the lowest descri p tion ; to wearing the same prison garb and particoloured cap ; - with such criminals , and to other disci pline of ; a nature : so rigorous , as to render oven a smilo , or looking to the right or left , a punishable offence . L therefore , beg to inquire ot your Lordship ( the Judge b y-. whbm I was sentenced ) whether , such being the effect of the abovenanied warrant , my sentence therein is correotly set down ? ' '¦' ¦ - ' ¦¦¦ ¦ "ram , niyLbrd , . * 'Your Lordship ' s most obedient servant , ' ' ¦¦ ¦ ¦ . ' ' . "Ebnbst Charles Jokes . " '
This letter the Board refused to sond ; stating as a ground , '' that I could hot be allowed to state to the Judge the nature of the treatment I received . " !!! V "' ' " '" This ianiy statement bn my solemn oath ! As I made a great noise about thiy . th ' ey . Bub ; aequently asserted that tlie Btatements in my letter : . were J'false , " arid the Governor , on thatoccasioh , insulted me by accusing me of "wltinga wilful and , deliberate falsehood , ' ¦ fpr which I demanded a humble apology on his refusal I laid a complaint before the Board , and the Board " exonerated me of the slightest intention to tell a'falsehoocl- or' prevaricate' '
, and asked me "toexcusete Governor , as he was warm-tempered—and men would sometimes lose their temper . " The charge of falsehood was founded on the fact , of my stating in the letter , that .. "I was subjected . to piok oakum , or ehe fined for not doing bo , " whereas "it was not a fine for hon-performanco of oakum picking , bufapaj / mnffpr mi keep . " ., But the fact is ,-tuat if Iidid not pay I wiis sentenced to pick oakum , andif the money was in arrear , tie arrears had tobe paid up ; ani the governor and officers , in speaking of the payment alwayB called it a fine
, . The second ground for charging me with writing a falsehood was ; " . that I had stated I was in solitary confinement ; " whereas , Mr . Powtml , Chairman of the Board of Quarter Sessions , said , . 'M was not solitary , i was ,, onli alone ,, bt myself ; " thepe . are his exact words . It seams *' solitary , " iu the ^ pviBon patois , means a dark cell on bread and water . I , of course , persist in stating that " being alone" means solitary , ' But , to allow of nolo 6 hole , I then offered to alter my letter ns they should dictate , and to substitute the following sentences for the two objectionable ones : — - !

Gopy of < t Utter from ib . Sommervitte to some friends in Manchester . Manchester , September , 1849 . Genxisik * , —Some of you have heard me state verbally , what my expenditure of money , loss of time , and logs of literary labour , have been during two and a half years of conflict with Mr . Feargus O'Connor ; I , at your request , commit the leading particulars to writing . I first wrote remarks on his Land Scheme . in the Bummer of 1846 , and in the autumn of that year , made several visits to the O'Connqrnlle estate in Hertfordshire , to the Land Office hv London , to the Joint Stock Begistxation Omcej to examine the documents lodged there , and in search , of member » of the society , to obtain information ; all of which journeys , some , from Manchester , some from London , some within . those towns and some to other towns , were entirely undertaken at my own expense . ' For the articles contributed to ' the Mmchide * Examiner on this subject I was paid the usual price , and nothing more , of literary contributions , auchas I would have been paid for arti : des written at my own fireside , without the expense of money and time . in travelling . This I state , because it was asserted and repeated over and oyer in O'Connor ' s paper , that I was paid for what I did otherwise than through , the Ahmchtitir Examiner .. This opinion prevails in Manchester still . It u not true . , i ; ,
. It wasmot unta the middle of 1847 that other newspapers Tentured to combat the huge delusion of the Land Scheme , and that : more transparent swindle , the Land and Labour . Bank . associated with it . And then it was chiefly from me they had there information . -.. All that year I was incessantly . engaged in examinine the Scheme and « wi » dle ; in warning tho shareholders of their danger ; in preventing Trade Societies ; Benefit Societies ,. Burial Club 3 and ' other AsaqciationB from sending their finds to the Land Bank . Though my ex- posure of the unsoundness of the Bank did not prevent all those societies from parting from their money ; and parting with it for ever , I saved many of them from ruin , 'But for lay timely interference the engineers and machine makers would hate lost £ 20 , 000 more than they did lose . I'carried ? i ? exten 8 iTO correspondence , made other visits I , ^ . ^ tes purchased by Mr .

The / Bradford D&le 4 te stated that the factory workers approved of the ground-work of ; the minis- - terial bill , but they Btrongly objected , to the two ¦ bours , additional labour per week . As far as • Bradford was concerned he was sure that every effort that could be made would- be cheerfully rendered to secure the ohjlct for which they had 80 long struggled . He then stated that there was a strong feeling in his di&trict against the compromise of Lord Aahlev .
, f he Todmorden Delegate said that , as faP as his district was cencerned they felt strongly , oa the sacrifice of the best interests of their childrea , and that though it might be thought-by , some tbat tbis compromise of lord A 8 hle >' & would settle the question , he . was sure that' it would , do no such thing ; butithat it would rouse themto doable exertion . He . could assure them . that . no effost would be left untried . to accomplish so . desirabla . an object as that of securing to the . factory worker * the opportunity of improving their social , moral , and religious ; condition in life . He then , » p ' oke ia . . * strong terms reprobating the conduct , of Lord Ashley , Philip Grant , and olkers , and , concluded by observing that he looked forward with hope to the obtainment of the Ten Hours Act .
The other Delegates then gave stateraenis breath , mg the same sentiments as those expressed by the previous ' speakers . The following resolutions were thsa , moved and ., ' . seconded by the delegates present ,, and carried unanimously : — ' .. " .. " 1 st . " That in the opinion of this meeting , Lord Ashley has basely and treacherously , boirayed the interests of the factory children . . After breaking faith with the factory operatives ^ we . have no more ' confidence in my . Lord Ashley , Rhilip Grant , or any of their tools' who have acted , with ' them » remembering tha promise which my Lord Ashley has always held out to khe ,, operatives employed i » factories— Shat he wouldld . le . in , the last ditch .

Think of the piety , the honesty and philanthropy , of this convicted swindler ! y Think of his generosity , spending his own money , and devoting his profitable time to the protection of the poor ! : and looking to Manhcester as the source from whence he expects conipenBation !!! Here is a pretty trio : —the Manchester Examiner paying him for his abuiseof the Land Company : one of the suckers pf irifant ' B blood giving him aElO for his abuse of that system which would have taken the children and thefcrparentB out of his clutches : and the representative of Manchester one of bis staunchest friends . But that is not all ; look to the Chairman of the Committee—GOODENOUGH HAYTJER . I will give the reader the trouble of again reading the passage with reference to this HONEST Chairman ' s conduct . The WHISTLER says : — . ' .
"One item of remuneration , and one only , was paid to me , namelyfor providing a summary of ttie Land . Scheme and Land Bank history for tlie private : , use of the Chairman of the Committee , previous to his entering upon the inquiry . " Now , what does the reader think of a Government official ,: appointed as . chairman of a Committee to investigate the conduct of a Member of Parliament ,. with , reference to the funds of tho working classes ? What , I say , must the reader think of such a chairmansuch an official—giving SECRET SERVICE MONEY to a convicted scoundrel , for furnishing him witli falsehoods ? But , with God ' s blessing , and the support of the toiling millions—to elevate whose condition I have sa ^ crificed friends ^ relatives , time , and- money- ^ I will live down all Blander , triumph over all my enemieB , elevate the working classes , and leave the world better than I found ifr ^ -though I should be reviled while living , and die a pauper ; as I am ; respired that neither slander , treachery , persecution , nor prosecution , shall
* I a ( ^ ^ t ] \ i ever turn ma one inch from my course . I will give the reader another instance of the philanthropy of-patnofay / - .
