TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE UNJUSTLY DEALT WITH BY THE MAGISTRATES , DURING THE RECENT PERSECUTION OF THE CHARTIST BODY . My Fwends , —I have jnsfc learned that Mr . Dnncombe ' s motion for an inquiry into the conduct of the magistrates who persecuted the people during the recent Anti-Corn-Law League outbreak , is to be brought before the House of Commons , on the 20 thof- March ; and , as he must have grounds to go upon , it is absolutely necessary that those aggrieved should speak for themselves . With that view , I submit the following short petition to be forwarded witho t delay to T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., 6 , the Albany , London .
It had better be sent under a penny stamp . I have merely given thia outline . Each person will know how to fill up his own . All can be done on a sheet of letter paper and sent precisely as a letter . When Mr . Duncombe brought forward his motion on Lord Abinger ' s conduct , he was taunted with not having any petitions . Now don't you thus arm his enemies this time . This is the most important motion ever made . George White and all others are requested to send such petitions ; also stating reasons , if any , assigned for refusing bail . This roust be done at once . I shall have mine ready in time . Your faithful friend , Feabgds O'Connor .
To the Right Honourable and Honourable the Knights , Citizens , and Burgesses of the United Kingdom ^ in Parliament assembled . The Humble Petition of A . B ., Hand-horn Weaver , showeth—That your Petitioner was arrested on the day of < last , upon & charge of ( riot , or ub the case may be ) , and was brought before ( Tiere state the names of the Magistrates and places ) , and was remanded at the request of ( here stale how often remanded , and what amount of fine . ) Tbai jout Petitioner was required to find batt in the sum of subsequently , upon being brought before a Judge . Yeur Petitioner traversed his trial to the next Assizes , and then the Judge reduced the bail to That lor want of this bail required by the committing Magistrates your Petitioner ( with a wife and children , as may be ) was compelled to remain in gaol for the space of — Your Petitioner therefore prays that your Honourable House will be pleased to institute an immediate inquiry into your Petitioners ease , and your Petitioner , ai in duty bound , will ever pray . Johx Clark , Handloom-weaver . 6 . Brook-street , Manchester .

There was a long "talk" about " privilege , " after which Mr . Ferrand " came up" again on the matter of the Halifax Poor Law Union . Mr . Fkrrand moved " for a Hst of the guardians of the Halifax Union who assembled-at the board on Wednesday , the 1 st day of this instant March } distinguishing the ex officio guardians from the elected guardians ; also , a list of the guardians who were not present , distinguishing the ex officio guardians from the elected guardians ; also , the name of the Assistant Poor Law Commissioner who attended the board ; also , a copy of their minutes and
proceedings , as well as of the resolutions adopted by the board , bo far as they relate to the administration of the New Poor Law within the said Union ; also , a copy of all notices given at ai > y preceding meeting of the board , relating to any proceeding or resolution connected with the administration of the New Poor Law which was adopted by the board on the 1 st day of this instant March . " He hoped that no objection would be made to this return . If it was objected to , it would be supposed by the public that there was something behind the scenes which the Right Hon . Baronet the Secretary for tee Home Department was desirous of concealing .
Sir . J . Graham objected to the return as it at present stood . He hoped that the Hon . Member would withdraw his motion . Mr . Fehsand said that he could not withdraw the motion . 11 appeared from the objection of the Right Hon . Baronet that there was something behind the scenes which the Secretary for the Home Department wished to conceal from the public . He would divide the House on the subject . Sir R . Pbel wished the Hon . Gentleman not to go to a division under the impression that the Government had anything to conceal . Anything that nould fairly be brought under the cognisance of the House would be freely communicated . His Right Hon . Friend , the Secretary for the Home
Department , had given an assurance that he was ready to produce all the information he possessed relative to the establishment of that which had been called by to many names . It was not fair to assume , as the motion of the Hon . Gentleman did , that upon a pariicvilar day a body of guardians had misconducted themselves . He would propose to substitute for the motion of the Hon . Member" That there shall be laid before this House a copy of the minutes and proceedings of the board of guardians of the union of Halifax , held oa the 1 st of March , as far as relates to the administration of ibe New Poor Law within the union ; also a copy of &ny resolution for the erection of a rag-mill made on that or any other day . "
Colonel Sibthobp and Mr . Hihdlrt hoped the Honourable Gentleman would be satisfied with the offer made by the Government , and not divide the Honse . Mr . Fbkrajtd would not be satisfied with less than the whole of the resolutions passed by the Board on the first of March , together with the notices of the resolutions served by the Clerk to the Board . Sir J . Graham conld assure the Hon . Gentleman that , in consequence of what had taken place in the Honse upon the snbject of the rag-mill , he had expressed a Btrong opinion to the Poor Law Commissioners against its use—( cheers ) . The commissioners had communicated thai opinion to all the unions , and they would not be used again .
Mr . T . DcncoMBB hoped the Government would have no objection to produce the resolution , passed by the Board on the same day , for the exclusion of the reporters for the public press . Captain Pechelx was very happy to hear what had fallen from the Right Honourable Secretary tor the Home Department , and he trusted he would set ki 8 face against the grinding of bones for manure in W 0 Tkh 0 UB 6 B . Mr . Desison thought the notices ought to be produced ; they formed a most important part of the proceedings of the Board .
Mt . Febr ajjd said , the inhabitants of Halifax complained that the board held on the 1 st of March was one packed for the pnrpose of doing the work of the Assistant Commissioner , and that notices had not been served on the whole body . He would be content to withdraw his motion if the Right Hon . Baronet wonld add a copy of the notices given at any proceeding meeting of the board of any resolution passed on the 1 st of March ; and he would have nn objection to have the resolution for excluding reporters . If the notices were refused he would divide the House .
S r J . Graham said no notice had been given m respect of the resolution which was complained of as a breach of the privileges of that House ; but after the question had been decided on two occasions by the House he deprecated its being again renewed . As to the other resolution , he thought it was highly inexpedient for the House to direct any Board of Guardians to admit or exclude reporters . It was better left to themselveB . The original mot ' on was withdrawn , and that proposed by Sir Robert Peel put as a substantive resolution . Mr . FKRBAJf * then moved to add to it " also a copy of all notloes given at any preceding meeting of ine Board , relating to any proceeding or resolution , connected with the administration of the New Poor Law , which waB adopted by the Board on the 1 st of March .

to the top of the house . There is a step ladder from the celling of the house ; near to the top of the ladder there are two trap doors , one of which drops flat upon the joists of the ceiling , and the other opens to the roof . On the 9 tb of January I was employed as plumber at the house , when I examined the roof , and in going along the rafters , and when near to the stack of chimneys , I observed a bundle laid upon the projection of the chimney ; it was a child wrapped m a towel . I lifted up one of the corners of the oloth to ascertain what it contained , and I saw the nead ; I had a candle with me at the time . I returned down stairs immediately and gave information to Robert Gregory , and some of the servants , who went Hp vrtth me , and we examined the body ; wegory then went down stairs , and shortly returned
witjj the butler and the gamekeeper ; the body was ? i ? \ » rernoved . I again went up to the spot on the following Thursday , and 1 then saw the child : it appeared to be in the same state as when 1 first Baw it . * Cross-examined . —I am -well acquainted with the nouse ; it would be dangerous going along the rafters ma dark night , without a light . The second tune 1 visited the spot , I was accompanied by Kobert Gregory and William Wilson ; the butler *{ J Kamekeeper , and the groom , came up after us ; t ° 5 u Was Iaid u P ° . the clotn in which il was ? h i ! i corn ® rs f which were thrown over it 1 tne whole of the child was exposed with the exception of the legs . I did not observe at the time that its throat was cut . Tie trap door through the ceiling is about three feet pqnare : the one to the roof
lsaDout the same size , but a good deal stronger and heavier than the other . Robert Gregory deposed—I am a ioiner at Aldbro " and on the 9 th June last , I was at Forcett Hall , When I was called upon by last witness ; I then saw a child laid in a towel , the comers being thrown over the body . I removed the towel , when I saw a gash or cut in the throat . I was employed at forcett Hall in the month of June or , July previous ? i was frequently in the house ; I perceived a smell about the house , which it was thought arose from rats , and a rat catcher was employed when I was there . I saw the prisoner before the month of June , whilst she was in the service of Mr . Mitchell ; her appearance was that of being pregnant . 1 had some conversation wtyh her after the 9 hof June as to her lying in . She answered that she had never laid in , or something to that effect ; she appeared smaller at the time .
Cross-examined—I am certain this conversation took place in the joiner ' s shop , in the hearing of William vyilson , but I don ' t know that he heard it . I cannot say when I first stated this conversation to have taken place ; perhaps this is the first time that I have stated it on oath . When I observed the gash in the throat I spoke so that those who were there might have heard it . The dintance from the trap-door to the place where the body was found is about thirty-eight feet ; the joists are about twelve inches apart . Re-examined—I am quite positive as to the conversation taking place . When I saw the gash I said I thought the throat . was cut .
Abraham Derrick deposed—In January last , I was butler at Forcett Hall . On the 9 th of that month I received some information from Gregory , in consequence of which I went into the garret alone whh the game-keeper and groom . We went to the stack of chimnies , where I saw the body of a child ; it was uncovered all but the face ; 1 did not make any close examination of it myself , and we all left the place ; it was between one and two when I saw the child . I went up to the roof along with Mr . Snowden , police-officer , on the Thursday following , when I found the body in the same state as I had previously seen it . Cross-examined—Gregory , when we were looking at the body , aid he thought the throat was out . I looked at it , but I conld not see whether it was or not . I did not observe anything particular about the body . Re-examined . —The body was not removed by
me . Mr . R . Snowdon deposed . —I am the police-officer of Greta Bridge . Oa Thursday , the 12 < . h January , I was sent for to Forcett Hall . The butler took me to the roof of the house , and against the 6 tack of ohimnies I saw a ehild wrapped m a napkin , lying en a joist or foot beam ; the right arm was partly under the beam ; the left hand 6 ide of the child was against the chimney ; it appeared as though it had been squeezed in , aad tie doctor had some difficulty in getting it out ; it was between the beam and the stack of chimnies ; the face and down to the thighs were visible , the legs being covered with the towel ; I did not touch the child . Mr . Johnson Glover , surgeon , was sent for , and he removed it from the root ' , and examined it , assisted by Mr . Marsh . When the child was laid upon the beam , I saw it , and it had the appearance oi' a cut in the throat . There was an inquest held on the body on the 14 th Jan .:
both I and the prisoner were present . Before the inquest , I went to the prisoner ' s house , and charged her with having given birth to a child at Forcett Hall , in June last , and with having murdered the same . I cautioned Her as to her answer , as it might afterwards be used against her on her trial . She said she never was with child in her life . I searched the house , and found a letter in a drawer , which * he said belonged to her sister . The prisoner said if I wanted letters she had got them ready , as she expected me coming . I found two letters which had been Bent to the prisoner by Elizabeth Atkinson . After the inquest , I asked the prisoner if Atkinson then lived at Skellbrooke Park , when she said no , 6 he had left . I asked if she knew where she had gone , and she told me some where in the neighbourhood of York . I afterwards went to Skellbrooke Park and there found Atkinson . The latter was not at the inquest , but attended before the Magistrates oh the 24 . h of January .
Cross-examined . —The body of the child was very much dried ; the skin was more like parchment than anything else . The doctor had some difficulty in getting the child from the place of concealment ; the cloth was fast to the beam . [ Witness here handed in a letter which he found at the prisoner ' s house , ] Margaret Walker deposed—In June last , I was lady ' s maid at Forcett Hall ; the prisoner and 1 slept together in a room adjoining the closet ; I had then been absent from the Hall for some time wiih my master and mistress , and returned in the early part of that month . Two or three days after I returned , the prisoner complained of being unwell , and on the evening in question she went to bed early ,
and I followed between eleven and twelve o clock , at which time she seemed very ill , and complained of great pain . I was disturbed during the mgtn by the prisoner , who left the room ; it was dark at the time . She got out of bed , saying that she was disturbing me , and ' she would therefore go into the other room ; she bad disturbed me by turning about in bed , and complaining of great pain . I got up between six and seven in the morning , when I knocked at the door of the room in which the prisoner then was ; it was locked . The prisoner came to the door , and asked me to fetch her petticoat ; she had on her night gown , and a calico
petticoat , and was eat near to the bfcd foot . I observed blood on her petticoat and her right hand ; there were alsosometpotsof blood on the floor . I cannot recollect whether she slept with me or not the night after her illness , but she did on the second night after ; I no-Weed her on that night ; she kept her petticoat on for several nights . The prisoner was off her work for two or three days . I observed that she was smaller than she had been , and I suapected that she had had a miscarriage . Two or throe weeks after , I went with the family into Scotland . I noticed the prisoner to have a peculiar faint smell that 1 had not remarked before . I observed it the first night she slept with me .
Cross-examined—I had been in the habit of sleeping with the prisoner for about three months before she had her illness . It is usual for the female servants on retiring to rest to lock their room doors . I am living at Forceit Hall . Mrs . Mitchell is dead ; but Mr . Mitchell is living at the Hall . Re examined—A Mrs . Palmer watt the guardian of the Bervants at the time when this transaction took place . There were clothes presses in the room where prisoner and I slept , and she had the key of one of them .
Aun Gilliespie—I lived as kitchin maid at Forcott Hall , in January last ; I slept wuh Ehtibeth Atkinson , and was called up bv the prisoner in the month of June last , about four o ' clock in the morning . She said she was very ill , and wished mo to get up and make her some tea . I did so and took it to her . She seemed very weak and very ill , and in great pain . She walked up and down the room , and then threw herself aoross the bed . I went to bed again ; and returned to the prisoner ' s room abont an hour after . The door was looked ; I knocked at it and the prisoner came and opened it . 1 asked her how Bhe was and she said Bhe was considerably better . I did not see her again until the afternoon of that day , about one o ' clock , in the same room .
About eight or nine o ' clock in the evening I saw Elisabeth Atkinson taking a pail of warm water out of the scullery boiler , and carry it up stairs . When I was with the prisoner I told her that a docter had beett sent for ; but she said she did not need one as Bhe was a gieat deal better . I saw stains of blo « d on the floor , carpets , and vallance of the bed . The stains on the floor appeared as if they had been partly washed out . I saw the same pail that Atkinson had taken up stairs , in a closet . There was some water in it , which was coloured with blood . The prisoner did not do
any work that day ; and I perceived that she was a great deal more swollen than what she had been . 1 know Mary Ann C&jrter ; she came to the hall on the day the prisoner ; was ill , and went 'to her room , where she remained about an hour ; it was in the evening . When Carter went away she took along with her a basket and a small bundle . The prisoner told me that Mrs . Palmer , the housekeeper , had charged her with having had a child , ; and that previous to that people had said she was pregnant , which she denied . Elizabeth Atkinson and I : slept together from February to the latter end of March ; during whioh she was not ill .

The prisoner ' s father came to me and said that his daughter had a communication to make to me . After that she came to me . I cautioned her as to what she said , as it might be afterwards used in evidence against her . She then made the following statement , which I took down in writing : —That sometime after the rent day in April , Elizabeth ! Atkinson , who then slept in the room facing the staircase at the top of the house , called to her at about seven in the evening , as she was passing her room . That she went into the room ; that Elizabeth Atkinson seemed very ill ;
and upon Taylor asking her what was the matter , she said that she was very ill J and it was all in her back ; and that if she ( Taylor ) would not tell any of the servants of the house that she was ill , she would give her a sovereign . ; Taylor replied that she did not want her sovereign . That of course it was no business of hers to tell the other servants . Elizabeth then asked Jane to bring her a little beer up , which she did . When Jane took up the beer , Elizabeth was in bed , and she ' placed the beer on a ohair by the bed side . Elizabeth then asked Jane to bring up a slop pail , which she did . Jane observed a deal of water or some moisture by the side of the bed . Jane then wished Elizabeth good
night , and did not see her till next morning . On that morning , Jane knocked at Eltzibeth ' s door , and asked for the pail . Elizabeth answered she was going to get up , and would put the pail out , and set it over the landing , j Jane immediately , on seeing the pail , observed that it was all daubed with blood on the inside . She ( Taylor ) took it out to the wash-house and washed it out , but could not get the blood off it ; she scrubbed it with a brush , and set it outside the kitchen | door , and did not like to use it for two or three days afterwards . A day or two after this , Taylor went to clean out the bedroom on the first floor opposite ^ the staircase , and observed the foot bath to be bloody ; , as if some bloody subflta , nne had been thrown flat down into it .

Charge of Threatening to Shoot the Queen and Sir Robert Pbel —A man was brought before the Lord Mayor on a charge of threatening to shoot the Queen and Sir Robert Feel . The prisoner was James Stevenson , a tallish , j sallow-oomplexioned Scotchman , about thirty years old , with light prominent grey eyes , matted hair , large mustachios , and thick yellow beard . He lived with bis father in Renfrewshire ; and having wandered to Hull , came up to London by the steam-packet . While on board he was heard to say , that it waa not proper for a woman to rule , and that M the woman must be
destroyed !'' and he said that he had business with Sir Robert Peel , who " mtikt answer him , or be destroyed . " To the questions | of the Lord Mayor he returned the most incoherent and rambling answers . He had t een a servant and a weaver ; but for the last three years he had lived on his earnings , ( £ 30 ) . study ing the Bible , the Greek Testament , John Knox's Hii-tory , and many books that he could not name . If his wandering words are intelligible , he conceived that there was a \ union , —which scemB to be a confused idea between the union of the two kingdoms and a clerical combination ) to put out all truth from the i Churches of England and Scotland ; he wanted to see Sir Robert Peel to break this union : bnt when asked
what he meant to do if he did not succeed , he evaded the question . Afterwards , when Mr . Hewitt , the Clerk of the Packet Company , repeated his declaration that Sir Robert Peel must be destroyed , and the Lord Mayor asked , " Is that your idea 1 "—he replied , " It is—that every Minister who holds up Anti-Chri&t must be put down . " He adjudged that " man must reign , not the female "; aad he held , that if the Queen did not lay down her office , Bhe must be destroyed . Pistols { being mentioned , he exclaimed , " I never intended the pistol * . " The Lord Mayor remarked , that there waa no law in the Bible that he should destroy ajman ^ jmto , would not fulfil what be thought proper : onijfBronhe answered readily , " I think there is such a" thing : Whosoever will not serve the Lord , shall be put to death . '"
He quoted other texts , and a paper was produced in which he had joined " Such oppressors make wise men mad" to That very justly they should stab . " " Tne Bible does not teach you that , " said the Lord Mayor . "Yes , " he answered j ; "you will seethe passages in Judges : Ahab the King was stabbed ; and he was a very fat man , you know . " He does not appear to have heard of the ; assassination of Mr . Drummond ; but he said he first heard of Sir Robert Peel ' s being in power " when the man shot at the Queen—that first drew my attention to the subject . " He had bun 2 i . 2 jjd . in his pocket when taken . He aid not object to his father ' s being written to ; but he said his father thought him ! " bad beyond correction . " He waB remanded till Friday ; being lodged in the Compter .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORT « EaN STAR Sjr At the present moment this country is the scene of commotion , strife . aDd misery , caused ., in a groat inefl&ure , by th « different schemes that , uovr agitate the minds of the pablic ; each party have their own nostrums , hired leaders , and followers . at > , i Id order that their principles , " wise sayings , inter > ti » ua , and actions" may be known , and cods quenHy n , « ire adherents gathered under each particular banner , resort is had to the public press , knowing well tUt , it isan engine powerful m leading and directing the mind of unsuspecting man j and it is in general easily made subservient to the wishes of , and the propagation of principles too often detrimental to the interest of the
unwary * dupea of pretending patriots , « e > ul « ephilanthropi 8 ts , and self termed disinterested persons . Amongst such are to b 8 found the scheme of Emigration ; having ( like the rest of the bubbles that float on the troubled waters of agitation ) its own organs , advocates , and folio « re ; circulating , defending , and believing , that their twa wiH alone prove to be tfficactona in relieving us fr > m the misery and distress that now tt& eta British socie-y ; that theira is the only panacta fof all the grievances caused by class made laws , and when once rcni . ved from this portion of the world , starvation and poverty will no more be known . Nothing- but quitting tne land that gave them birth will bring them cheap fi " - > d , high wages , and plenty of work .
Let" the admirers and lovers of emigration senoinly ponder over the following , culled frem the letter of an intelligent and activo young man , who left this part of Scotland last spring , and is now settled in the wiids of Canada , and whose sphere of life and situation mves him a greater field of observation than is generally in the power of most of those who are gone thither . He aaya , that " with regard to emigrating to this country , I have seen no reason to change the opinion I expressed of it in my last letter ; the farmer witb small capital , and persevering industry , and who does not care very much for church , post-office , books , nor intel * ligent society , arc , may do very well , but an individual of a diffident chaxaclex will fee \ himself aot at hom » - in the wild woods of America . O God I how poor peop 9
are deceived by the representations , or rather mure ^ ro . sentaticms of interested characters . To explain ttiis a little : the Canada and other companies promise land , and tell you a fine story about the fertility ef the soil , and the salubrity of the climate ; but believe them n # t ; for be it known to you that there is a tax upon wild land , and if they can get any person so simple , as to settle npon a portion of the wor ? t of theha , they thereby escape apart of the wild land tax , and get their property intersected with toids . Tins holds out encouragement for other settlers , and enhances the value of their possessions , more than you have any adequate idea of in an old crnntry . There is another class who favour emigration from political motives ,
they think an extensive system of emigration from tbe old country would swamp the French interest , and thereby secure British supremacy . I have not seen very much of the country , but I have seen a good many of the people , and not only new comers but old settlers and I most confess that I never saw so much appearance of poverty in the old country—grown up people clothed in rags , children bareheaded and barefooted , standing the severity of a Canadian winter . I have also seen and conversed with some of the Paisley weavers who came oat in the Renfrewshire , and they were wishing that , bad as Paisley wag . they were safely in it again . You may think that I am looking on Canada with a jaundiced eye ; I only state facts , you can draw your nwn conclusions .
" Bead this to all my friends and acquaintances , and if A has got a job Qf work , an intelligent friend , ; and Chartist newspaper , he is more comfortable than in the American bash , in my opinion . " Such , Sir , are the remarks of an intimate friend and distant relative of mine ; and , in my opinion those who intend leaving this conntry should only do flprben all other means of relief have been tried and found productive of no good . Have we as yet tried Home Colonization ? Are there no fields for such a scheme at home f Is it not true that there are upwards of thirty millions of uncultivated land capable of improve * ment in the United Kingdom ? If we have not as yet ascertained that such is the case , let us make inquiry , Hoping this will find a corner in your paper , I am , An Old and Regular subscribes .
