Duncombe ' 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 th of 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 without delay to T . S . Duncombe , Esq ., 6 , the Albany , London .
It had better bo sent under a-penny stamp . I have merely given this 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 must be done at ones . 1 shall have mine ready in time . Youi faithful friend , Feakgub O'Connob ,

" 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 tbe 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 . Fkrhand said that he could not withdraw the motion . It 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 . Peel wished the Hon . Gentleman not to go to a division under the impression that the Government had anything to conceal . Anything that could fairly be brought under the cognisance of the House would be freely communicated . His Right Hon . Friend , tho 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 particular day a bod ; 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 on the 1 st of March , as far as relates to the administration of the 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 Sibthorp and Mr . Hixdley hoped the Honourable Gentleman would be satisfied with the offer made by the Government , and not divide the House . Mr . Yerrxhd would not be satisfied with lesa 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 CJerk to the Board . Sir J . Graham could assure the Hon . Gentleman that , in consequence of what had taken place in the Honse upon the subject of the rag-mill , he had expressed a strong opinion to the foor Law Commissioners against its use —( cheers ) . The commissioners had communicated that opinion to all the unions , and they would not be used again .
Mr . T . Dukoom » s hoped the Government would have no objection to produce the resolution , passed by the Board on the same day , for the exolusion of the reporters for the publio press . Captain Pechejll was very bappy to hear what had fallen from the Kight Honourable Secretary for the Home Department , and he trusted he would stt his face against the grinding of bones for mauare in workhonees . Mr . Dehisov thought the notices ought to be produced ; they formed a most important part of the proceedings of the Board .
Mr . FsRRAND said , the inhabitants of Halifax complained that the board held on the 1 st of March was one packed for the purpose 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 would 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 no objection to have the resolution for excluding reporters . If the notices were refused he would divide the House .
Sr J . Gbaham said no notice had been given in 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 depreoated its being again renewed . As to the other resolution , he thought it was highly inexpedient for tbe Honse to direct any Board of Guardians to admit or exclude reporters . It was better left to themselves . The original mofon was withdrawn , and that proposed by Sir Robert Peel pat as a substantive resolution . Mr . Ferhjlnd then moved to add to it also a copy of all notices given at any preceding meeting of the Board , relating to any proceeding or resolution , connected with the administration of the New Poor Law , whioh was adopted by the Board on the 1 st of March .

to the top of the house . . There is a step ladder from the ceiling of the houae ; near to the top of the ladder there are two trap doors , one of which drops flat upon the joists of the oeiling , and the other opens to the roof . On the 9 th of January I was employed as plumber at the house , when t examined the roof , and m going along tho rafters , and when near to the stack of chimneyB , I observed a bundle laid upon the projection of the chimney ; it wag a child wrapped in a towel . I lifted up one of the oornera of the
oloth to ascertain what it contained , and I saw the bead ; I had a candle with me at the time . I returaed down staira immediately and gave information to Robert Gregory , and some of the servants , who went up with me , and we examined tho body ; Gregory then went down stairs , and shortly returned with the butler and the gamekeeper ; the body was not then removed . I again went up to the spot on the following Thursday , and 1 then saw tho child : it appeared to be in the same state as when 1 first saw it .
Cross-examined . —I am weJl acquainted with the house ; it would be dangerous going along the rafters ia a dark night , without a light . The second time 1 visited the' spot , I was accompanied by Robert Gregory arid William Wilson ; the butler the gamekeeper , and the groom , came up after us ; V j Tl laid apon the oloth in whicn il was found , the corners of whioh were thrown , over it ? the 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 throe feet square ; the one to the roof is about the same siza , but a good deal stronger and heavier than the other . Robert Gregory deposed—I am a ioiaer at Aldbro "
ana on the flih June last , I was at Foroett Hall , when I was oalled upon by last witness ; I then 6 aw a child laid in a . towel , the oorners 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 , whioh 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 with her after the 9 h of June as to her lying in . She answered that she had never laid in , or something to that effect ; she appeared smaller at tbe time .
Cross-examined—I am certain this conversation took place in the joiner ' s shop , in the hearing of William Wilson , but I don ' t know that ho heard it . I cannot say when i first seated 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 epoke bo that tho 36 who were there migbt have heard it . The distance from the trapdoor to the place where the body was found is about thirty-eight toot ; the joisls are about twelve inches apart .
Re-examined—I am quite positive aa to the conversation taking place . When I saw the ga « h 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 along with 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 ; I 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 tho roof along with Mr . Snowden , police-officer , on the Thursday following , when I found the body in the same state as 1 had previously seen it .
Cross-examined—Gregory , when we were looking at the body , said he thoug'it the throat was out . 1 looked at it , but I could not see whether it was or not . I did not observe anything particular about the body . Re-examined . —The body wa 3 not removed by
me . Mr . R . Snowdon deposed . —I am the police- officer of Greta Bridge . On Thursday , the I 2 ch January , I was sent for to Forcett Hall . The butler took me to the roof of the house , and against the stack of chimnies I saw a child wrapped m a napkin , lying en a joist or foot beam ; the right arm was partly under the beam ; the left hand side of the child was against the chimney ; it appeared as though it had been squeezed in , and tie doctor had some difficulty in getting it out ; it was between tbe 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 roof , and examined it , assisted by Mr . Marsh . When the child was laid upon the beam , I saw it , and it had the appearance of a cut in the throat . There
was an inqnest held on the body on the H < h 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 f . he said belonged * o h « = r siater . The prisoner said if I wanted letters she had got them ready , as she expected me coming . I found two letters which had been sent to the prisoner by Elizabeth Atkinson . After the inquest , I asked the prisoner if Atkinson then lived at Skellbrooke Park , when she said tio . she had left . I asked if t-he know where sh 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 on the 24-h of Jai . uary . 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 whioh he found at the prisoner ' s hou 8 e . J Margaret Walker deposed—In June last , I was lady's maid at Forcett Hall ; the prisoner and I slept together in a room adjoining the closet ; I had then been absent from the Hall for some time with my master and mistress , and returned in the early
part of that month . Two or three daya 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 night by the prisoner , who left the room ; it was dark at the time . She got out of bed , Raying that Bhe was disturbing me , and she would therefore go into the other room ; she had 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 , aud asked me to fetch her petticoat ;
she had on her night gown , and a calico petticoat , and was sat near to the bed foot . I observed blood on her petticoat aad her n # it hand ; there were abosomef pots of blood on the floor . I cannot recollect whether she slept with me or not the night after her illness , but the did on the second night alter ; I noticed her ou that night ; she kept her petticoat on for several nights , i The prisoner was off her work For two or three days . I observed tnat she was smaller than Bhe had been , and I suspected that she had had a miscarriage . Two or three 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 firet night she slept with me .
CrosB-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 tho female servants on retiring to rest to iock their room doors . I am living at Force : t Hall . Mrs . Mitchell is dead ; but Mr . Mitchell is living at the Hall . Re examined—A Mrs . Palmer waa the guardian of the servants at the time when this transaction took place . There were clothes presses in the room where prisoner and 1 slept , and ghe had the key ol one of them .
Aun Gilliespie—I lived as kitchin maid at Foroett Hall , in January last ; I slept with Elizabeth 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 me to get up and make heir some tea . I did bo and took it to her . She seemed very weak and vtiy ill , and in great pain . She walked op and down tne room , aud then threw herself across the bed . I went to bed again ; and returned to the prisoner ' s room about an hour after . The , door was looked ; I knocked at it and the prisoner came and opened it . I asked her bow she was and she said she was considerably better . I did not see her again nntil the afternoon of that day , about one o'clock , in the same room .
About eight or nine o ' clock in the evening I saw Elizabeth Atkinson taking a pail of warm water out of tbe scullery boiler , and carry it up stairs . When I was with the prisoner I told her that a docter had been sent for ; bat she said she did not need one as she waa a gieat deal better . I saw stains of bloed on the floor , carpets , and val * lance of the bed . The stains on the floor appeared as if they had been partly washed out . I saw the Bame pail that Atkinson had taken np stairs , In a cloeet . 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 . I know Mary Ann Carter ; 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 ; aad that previous to that , people bad said she was pregnant , which she denied . Elizabeth Atkinson and I slept together from February to the latter end of March ; duriDg which ehe was not ill .

Cross-examined—It was reported that Atkinson wa 3 in the family way . After March , I slept with Mrs . Palmer till h t " husband came home ; I slept with her the night in question . I saw some water in the closet discoloured with blood , i Re-exauained—It was reported that Elizibeth Atkinson waa in a state of pregnancy both at the time she came , and when she leftjForcett Hall ; she lefc at the end of June . \ By Mr . Wilkins—The prisoner ] showed me a foot bath , which was marked with blood ; I believe that was in April ; it was in the green room , which at that time was a spare bed-room . : By Mr . Bliss . —The prisoner took me np stairs , and having shewed me the bath , asked me if I knew who had done it . '
Mr . Charles Ronald deposed . —I am a solicitor , residing at Gray ' s Inn , London , jl am solicitor to Mr . Mitchell . In consequence of information I received , I came down to Forcett Hall . 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 : —Tttat sometime after the rent day in April , Elizabeth Atkinson , who then
slept in the room facing the staircase at tbe 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 , 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 tall the other servants .
Elizibeth then asked Jane to bring her a little beer up , which she did . When Jane took np the beer , Elizabeth was in bed , and she placed the beer on a chair 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 Elizabeth's door , and asked for the pail . Elizibeth answered she was going to get up , and would put the pail out , and set it over the landing . Jano 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 ; Bhe 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 , asd observed the foot bath to be bloody , aa if some bloody subetance had been thrown flat down into it . She oalled Ann , the kitchen maid , to look at it , whioh Bhe did . Jane took soap and a flannel to wash out the blood but could not , a mark was still loft . Atkinson slept a few nights in tho same room , and after that came to sleep with Jane and Ann , in the room down stairs , because she said she was afraid of a ghost she had heard people talk of . Elizioetb came down stairs next day , and weut into the laundry as usual . Mrs . Palmer had told her-father before this that Atkinson was pregnant ; before this ocourred , Taylor observed symptoms whioh led her to suspect that such was the case .
Several other persons were examined on the part of the prosecution , amongst whom was Atkinson , who denied the whole of the prisoner ' s statement , as detailed by the last witneta . I Mr . Marsh , a surgeon , of Aldbro ' , examined the prisoner in February , 1842 , when he pronounced her to be in a state of pregnancy . Mr .

Charge of Threatening to Shoot the Queen and Sib Robert P&el —A man was brought before the Lord Mayor on a charge of threatening to shoot the Queen aud Sir Robert Peel . The prisoner was James Stevenson , a taUish , Ballow-complexioncd Scotchman , about thirty years old , with light prominent ; grey eyes , matted hair , jlarge mustacaios , and thick yellow beard . He lived with his father in Renfrewshire ; and having wandered to Hull , came up to London by the steam-packet . While ou board he wss heard to say , that it was not proper for a woman to rule , and that " the woman must be destroyed 1 " and he said that he had business with Sir Robert Peel , who " must answer him , or be de ^ royed . " To tho 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 pu his earnings , ( £ 30 ) , studying the Bible , the Greek ! Testament , John Kuox ' s Hiftory , and many books ( that he could not name . If his wandering words are intelligible , he conceived that there was a union , —which seems to be a confused idea between the union of the two kingdoms and a clerical combination ) to put ou * , all truth from the Churches of England and Scotland ; he wanted to see Sir Robert Peel to break this union ; but 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 }"—he replied , " It is—that every Minister who holds up Auti-Cbri&t must be put down . " jHe adjudged that "man must reign , not the female "; and he held , that if the Qaeen did not lay down her office , she must be destroyed . Pistols being mentioned , he exclaimed , ** I never intended ihe pistoU . " The Lord Mayor remarked , that there ! was no law in the Bible that he should destroy a man who would not fulfil what he thought proper : on whioh he answered readily , " I think there Ja such a ! t | 0 || i | V : ' * 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 m « u mad ' to " That very jusUyjthey should stab . " " Tae Bible does Hot teach you that , " said the Lord Mayor . "Yes , " he answered ; * 'you will seethe passages in Judges : Ahab the King was stabbed ; and ho 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 bat 2 * . 2 £ d . in his pocket when taken . He did not object to his father ' s being written to ; but he said his father thought him " bad beyond comotion . " He was remanded till Friday ; being lodged in the Compter .

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN STAR Sir—At the present moment this country is the scene of commotion , strife , and mfeery , caused , in a great measure , by the difiWeut schemes that now agitate the minds of the public ; each party have their oven nostrums , hirsd leaders , and followers , and ia order that their principles , " wise sayings , intentions , and actions' * may be known , Bnd cona quently mire adherents gathered under each particular banner , resort is bad to the public press , knowing w .-ll that is ia an engine powerful in leading and directing thenimd of unsuapecting inaa ; and it is in general easily nia . ' e subservient to the wishes of . and the propagation of principles too often detrimental to the interest of the
unwary dupes of pretending patriots , would-fitphilanthropists , and self termed disiuterettwd persons . Amongst such are to be found ihe scheme of Emigration ; haviDg dike the rest of the bubbles that float on the troubled waters uf agitation ) its own orgaus , advocates , and folio ers ; circulating , defending , and believing , that their tutu will alone pre . ve to be efficacious in relieving n » frna the misery and distress that now bifiicts British society ; that theirs is the only yas » c * a for all the grievances caused by class made laws , and when once removed from this portion of the woild , starvation and poverty will no more be known . Nothing but quttt ' . Dg the land that gave them birth will bring them cheap food , high wacres , and plenty of work .
Let tbe admirers and lovers of emigration serioumy ponder over the following , called frenn tho letter of aa intelligent aad active young man , who left this part vl Scotland last spring , and ia now settled in the wilds of Canada , and whose sphere of life and situation gives him a greater field of observation than is generally in the power of most of those who ar ^ gone thither . He says , that " with regard to emigrating to thU country , I have seen no reason to change the opinion 1 expressed of it in my last tetter ; the farmer with small capital , and persevering industry , and whodoea not care very much for church , post-office , books , nor iutelligen * society , is ., may do Vfary well , but an individual of a different character will feel himself not at home in the wild woods of America . O God I how poor peop e
ate deceived by the representations , or ratber misrepresentations of interested characters . To explain this a littles : the Canada and other companies promise laud , and tell you a flue story about the fertility « t tbe soil , and the salubrity of the climate ; but believe them not ; for be it known to you that tbsra is a tax upon wild land , and if thoy can get any person so ( simple , aa to seUie upon a portion of the worst of theiis . they thereby escape apart of the wild land tax , andget their property intersected withtoids . Tatsboids oat encouragement for other settlers , and enhances tha vajae of their possessions , more than you have any adequate idea of in an old country . There is another class who favour emigration from political motives .
they think an extensive system of emigration from tke old country would swamp the French interest , and thereby secure British supremacy . I have not seen very much of the country , bat I have seen a good many of the people , and not only new corners but old settlers , and I must 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 s ^ en and conversed " with some of the Paisley weavers who came out in the Renfrewshire , and they were wishing that , bad as Paisley was , they were safely in it again . You may think that I am . looking on Canada with a jaundiced eye : I only state f&ete , you cau draw your <> wn conclusions .
44 Read this to all my friends and acquaintances , and if A has got a job of work , an intelligent friend , and Chartist newspaper , be is more comfortable than in the American bush , in my opinion . " Such , Sir , are tbe remarks of an intimate friend and distant relative of mine ; and , in my opinion those who intend leaving this conn try should only do so when 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 s scheme at borne ? Is it not trne feat there are upwards of thirty millions of uncultivated land capable of improvement in the United Kingdom ? If we have not as yet ascertained that snch is the case , let us make inquiry . Hoping this will find a corner in your paper , ^ 1 am , An Old and Regular Subscriber .
