Tbe Christmas Gsoeral Quarter Sessions of tbe Peace for the Borough of Leeds , were held last week , at tfca Court Housein Leeds , before Thomas Floweb Ellis , Jun ., Esquire , Recorder . The following Gentlemen were sworn of
THE GRAND JURY . Mr . Robert Dennia CbantreH , architect , Foreman . Mr . Thomas Barlow , hatter . Mr . Wa Bowes , staff-merchant Mi . We Brown , stuff merchant . Mr . Robert Cadman , cenUeman . Mr . Benjamin Clark , fannex . Mr . John Clark , architect . Mr . Thomas Craven , cornfactor . Mr . Thomas England , cornfactor . Mr . "Win . Graveley , farmer . Mr . Richard Harrison , timber merchant . Mr . Wa Hunt , gentleman . Mr . Frederick Kirby , merchant Mr . We Perkin , architect . Mr . James Sanderson , cornfactor . Mr . John Scott , cornfactor . Mr . George Smith , merchant
The Recorder , in charging the Grand Jury , said that although tbe calendar was rather heavier in point of number than nsoal , it presented one very gratifying feature , namely , the almost total absence of cases of stealing'with anything like violence . At the last sessions there were four or five cases of that nature , but on this occasion , so far as he had perused the depositions , he had not found one . There were only two or three cases with respect to which any thing that he could say would be of use to them . In one or two cases the excuse of drunkenness might be set up . Upon that be tsight observe that if there was drunkenness so great that a man did not know what be was absmt , or whether he took his own property or that of his neighbour , then there was no crime , because there was no
malice ; but that degree of drunkenness which merely blinded a man to the impropriety of tbe act he committed , was no excuse , but an aggravation of the offence . Therefore , in no case , unless the drunkenness had proceeded to a length which he thought it scarely ever did , of making a mannnableto distinguish between his own property and that of his neighbour , could it be any excuse for the commission of a felony . There were other cases in which servants or agents were charged with embezzlement In such cases it was not sufficient to prove that the accused bad received the monty , and that it had not come to the hands of the master , nor been entered in his master ' s books , because it might happen that the servant had forgotten to enter it ; but the general proof was that tbe servant had
designed to make the master believe that ail was clear between them , when in point of fact he had misappropriated bis monies to his own use . There was one case in which the defence would probably be thai the article , a mackintosh coat , was borrowed not stolen , to protect the taker from the rain . If the Grand Jury should be of " opinion that it was originally taken for that purpose , and not with a view to appropriate it ultimately to his own use , they would not send the bill down to tbe Petty Jury , as the offence would amount only to a trespass , and not to a felony . After some observation on cases of uttering base coin , the Recorder said , that there was a case- of personation under the Municipal Act , the person charged having voted in the name of a person whom he was not The 34 th section of the act enacted that only three questions could be put to a burgess at the tima of voting ; the first was whether the
person who tendered a voting paper was the person ? hose name was signed thereto ; and an affirmative answer to that might be a correct one , although it was not his own writing . The second question was whether the person who tendered the voting paper was the person enrolled on the burgess roll for the qualification described at the foot of the voting paper handed in ; and it was probable that the indictment would turn npon whether a false answer had been given to that question . Now if a person of the name of John Styles handed in a voting paper purporting to be signed by John Styles , and yet was not the John Styles who was registered , he was guilty of a crime in personating the true John Styles , in addition to tha offence created by the statute in giving a false answer . Tbe statute was framed to guard against one person voting for another ; and if a person was ill at home be could not send another person to vote for him .
THE SMOKE NUISANCE . THE qUEEN v . GEOBGE NUSSEY AND GEOBGE NCSSET JXJMOB . Mr . Hall said that this case was an indictment found at the last sessions against the defendants for nuisance in not consuming their smoke , and that since the indictment had been found they had made experiments which they hoped would succeed in effecting tbe object tbe prosecntor had in view ; and as the prosecutor had no wish to press hardly upon them , but was willing to abandon the prosecution , he had to move that tbe indictment be discharged . After some conversation between tbe Recorder and tbe Learned Counsel , A verdict ot Not Guilty was taken and recorded . We understand that the remaining two of the three indictments for smoke nuisance , found at the last sessions , have been traversed till the next sessions .

declaring his sentiment ? to theGovernment , and he novf felt satisfied and thankful that he had been able to acquit his conscience by discharging the duty . ( Hjearv ) Having alluded to the very gratifying reception / which' Sir Robert Peel and the other members of the Cabinet gave to the Bubject , and the impression left upon his mind that those high fane ? tionaries are desirous of doing justice to the youUv ful factory population , he proceeded to give hia decided opinion that the question which Had so long been before the publio was at length well understood , not only by the employed , but by their employers also , and that a very general feehng now prevails amongst all classes that the Ten Hours * limitation of labour is a just and necessary measure ; well calculated to promote the real interests of all connected with factories , and at the same time
fraught with advantage to the nation at large . ( Loud cheers . ) He declared his conviction that the ensuing Session of Parliament would see the question brought forward by that truly noble champion of the cause , the Lord Ashley —( loud cheers)—armed as his Lordship is with arguments' and facts so influential and irresistible as to lead to the satisfactory settlement thereof . ( Cheers . ) lie felt delighted to meet upwards of ' 200 overlookers on this occasion , who fully understand this question to involve the welfare and happineas of themselves , their families , and the masses of young persons daily working under their care . ( Cheers . ) Mr . Walker also added that when Mr . Wm . Rand and himself had the honour of waiting upon Sir James Graham they were :
interrupted by the announcement of some noble , lords being in attendance , which led them ; to cut short their discussion of the subject , and consequently they had sought and obtained permission to address a letter to Sir James , going fully into the question , and answering the strongest Objections which had been urged against a Ten Hours' enactment . ( Hear . ) The Short Time Committee had requested to be allowed to print that letter ; but before consenting to that being done , he would rather leave it with the present intelligent meeting to decide after having heard its contents . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr . Walker then read the letter , after which it was unanimously resolved that the letter be printed and circulated .
, - > M > . William Rand said he was very glad to bear his testimony along with Mr . VVaiker , to the kind and considerate manner in which they had been received by Sir Robert Peel and others of her Majesty ' s Ministers , with whom they had incerview& on the factory question , bat that no words of his could < io justice to the deep interest takon in their cause by Lord Ashley , and to the admirable zeal and judgment with which he was conducting the management of it , and With whom they had had many gratifying interviews on the subject , he then said that notwithstanding he ( Mr . R . ) had not long taken a prominent part in promoting the objeofc of a Ten Hours' Bill , he had from the very first most cordially approved of it , ( Cheers . ) He was of opinion that
it wa 9 a measure not only of ; necessity , but one of strict justice , that its tendency would , in -. his judgment , be to increase the number of the employed , and that nothing was so undesirable ; either for the prosperity or the peace of the country , as to have large mastes of the people unemployed , even occasionally . Mr . Rand alab said that he felt quite confident that a large portion of the Millowners who formerly viewed with jealousy and alarm such a limitation of labour , were now , if not the advocates of it , at all events less hostile to it , and he believed would take no stepa to oppose it ; he begged , however , to be permitted to tell them that it was their bounden duty to give credit to many of their opponents for being influenced by severe
conviction in their former opposition- ^ -tliat-. this cause was the cause of justice , and that no measure of justice could be retarded in a country like this , under the influence of i free press , provided they used only the weapons of sound argument , in a calm and dispassionate manner , and without imputing motives in any way to their opponents . ( Cheers . ) That the meeting might rest assured that many of their opponents did in their heartB and consciences now approve of it , but that it required a large amount of moral courage in men publicly to acknowledge tha , t they had been mistaken , and that therefore a public avowal of such a change of sentiment was hardly to be expected to any extent .
( Hear , hear . ) Mr ^ Rand oonoluded by Baying ^ that it was his wish , as no dodbt it . was the wish . of every gentleman near him , to hear any objeotion that might be eutertained towards this limitation to ten hoars , in order that it might undergo a full disoassion before the meeting committed - 'itself to a petition having that object ^^ in view , but that whatever dissensions of opiniun might be entertained as to the effect x > f the measure , he had hot the slightest apprebensioa ^ of its produobg any ibjarious consequences whatever ; that it was at once a measure of justice and humanity , and that he was ^ perfectly willingto leave the consequences to Divine Providence .

Mr . S . Aoty expressed his pleaavuiQ that the letter to Sir Jamea Graham had been read to the meeting fie was sure it would be of service . He considered that it ought to be generally read , and , in order that saoh might be the case , it ought to be printed , and he hoped that the authors of it would not object to such a course . He proposed that the letter be printed for distribution . ( Hear , hear . ) . An Overlooker seconded the proposition , and it -wgs carried unanimously , : ' Mr . C . Walker said that as the meeting appeared to approve strongly ot the letter which had been
addressed to Sir James Graham—to such a degree indeed as to deem it worthy of being printed for the public eye , he presumed they agreed cordially with the sentiments which were embodied in it , and would be glad to promote its object . ( Hear . ) He was not aware that any mode existed of doing this so effectually as by making a public profession of similar opinions , and asking the legislature to enact such a regulation as was proposed in the letter which had been read to them . In order that this might be aooomplished , he had that moment perused a proposition which he would submit to the company ^ namely— : ' ' ¦ { / J .
"That it is the opinion of this meeting that Ten Hours per day form as long a period as any person under twenty-one years of age should be required to labour in factories , and that a petition be presented to Parliament at the earliest opportunity , praying for such a legislative regulation , and that the same be signed by the Chairman in behalf of the meeting . " . ; ) -.:. ; ' ; .. ¦ ' ' r _ ¦ '¦ : -i' ' ¦ -. v - : . ¦' . " ¦ ¦ ¦"' ... '¦ - ¦ : As this proposition was quite accordant with the sentiments avowed in the letter which had been read he had pleasure in offering it to the meeting . ( Cheers . ) ¦¦ . ' . ¦ ' \ - ¦ : ¦ ¦ : ,. ¦ ¦• ¦ :-. . . : ¦ ¦ . ; . . ;¦ . - . . - .. ¦ : . ¦ . - ¦
Mr . Spencer rose to second the resolution , and said that if any ministers of the Gospel , or other persons required " evidence" that a Ten Hours ? Bill is needed , they should turn out into the streets at half-past five in the morning , and see the " living volumes" ( cheers ) , passing along to their labour at that early period of the morning , and then again at half-past seven or eight in the evening Witness their departure from the mill , and they could hot need any farther lesson to teach them that this system is
unjust and unnatural . This country boasted of paying high consideration to the female sex , and it was not unusual to measure the degree of national civilization by this test . ( Hear . ) ; But assuredly the factory districts must admit their being comparativly uncivilised and barbarous when such destruction of female charaoter and happiness were permitted to continue as is now inflicted by the long hours of factory labour . ( Hear , hear . ) He recommended them to be united , and not to rest until the Ten Hours ' Bill should be the law of the Jand < ( Cheers . )
Mr . C . Walkeb again rose and said that it was important that no difference of opinion shquld exist in reference either to the sentiments or phraseology ofthe petition which the meeting had determined to addreqs to Parliament . He was anxiona that so numerous and intelligent a company should have submitted to them the entire address which it was proposed to transmit to the legislative assembly . ( Hear . ) He said that the main object of their solicitude was fully developed in the address which he had read to them .: That object was the obtainment of a legislative decree , that no person under twentyone years of age should be allowed to work in any factory more than ten hours per day . ( Hear , hear . ) He congratulated the Chairman that so numerous a company should be found ' . assembled , in that room to express bo reasonable and just a request . It was evident that the work which they had met to promote
was growing in ttae estimation ot an intelligent community . Every opportunity had been rendered on that occasion for discussing any difficulties that might exist , in reference to a Ten Hours' Bill , but happily they all appeared converted to its favour , and were willing to remedy as much as possible their former supineness . ( Hear . ) If any persons were qualified to judge correctly on the question at issue , surely it was . right to attribute that ability to the present company . Nearly all of them were day after day engaged in factory pursuits . They understood thoroughly all its features and interests , and although few comparatively had previously engaged in the conflict , yet this evening they had met to do their duty by resolving to aid , as far as possible , in the obtainment of the Ten Hours' Bill . ( Hear , hear . ) He begged to propose the adoption of the petition . ( Cheers . ) -.., . - ¦ - ' . ¦ .: ¦; - ' -x' : . ¦' : ¦} , ::. "¦¦ : ¦];¦ ¦¦ : ' : ' - : - - : \

THE CHARTISTS . NORWICH QUARTER SESSIONS , Jan . 4 . ( BeforeMr . J , Jeremy , Recorder . ) ; Thomas Hewett appeared to answer to an indict ' ment for > miBdemeanour , having , with other evildisposed persons , carrying various sorts of arms , unlawfully assembled to disturb the peace , on the 16 th of November last , at Cutton New Church , and then and there made a noise , riot , and disturbance , for the space of an hour or more . He was further indicted for having , on the same day , a second
time , with other evil-disposed persons , unlawfully assembled , and thereby created a disturbance during the ceremony of consecration at Catton New . ' Pliurch , ' :- ' - ¦ ;;; ., ¦ .. ¦¦ " . ¦ . > . ; .. . :: ¦ ¦' ¦¦/¦ . ¦ . ¦ ' ¦¦ ¦ ¦; ' . •; ' " > . ' .. ' - ¦• ' . ¦ ¦ - The case excited great interest , the court being completely crowded during the whole time of the trial . Many of the magistrates were present . Mr . Evans appeared for the prosecution . Hewett , , who conducted his own case , objected to Mr . Nurse being sworn on the jury , alleging that he was prejudiced against the Chartists . : Mr . EvanB called the following witnesses : —
Robert Colemah deposed—I am one of the police of this city . Was ordered to attend the church at New Catton , on the 16 th of Nov ., in case there should be a breach of the peace . I was at the station-house about a quarter before ten o ' clock . I heard a band of music , and I went into the Market-place , and there I saw a band of musio and several banners , Hewett was nearly in front . The processidn went across the market and up Whife Lion-street . The church is situate by the side of the road to Catton . After I got to the ohiirchyard , about half-past ten o'clock , 1 was Btatibned at the gate of the church . ; I saw some persons with a band coming towards tbe church . I saw Hewett close by the church gates ;
there were about 300 persons assembled : they were conducting themselves in a very tumultuous manner . People were not able to get up to the churchyard ; I saw Hewett very active and prominent in those attempts . When the Bishop ' s carriage came it could not be driven up to the gate ; there was a great deal of hooting and different expressions used , directed against the Bishop . After the carriage came up , the persons in it obtained entrance into the church by sheer force . The Mayor then personally assisted the Bishop , and succeeded iu obtaining admission . About half an hour after the gate was broken , the conduct of the mob was such as to terrify the people attending the service ; After
the bishop had entered the church 8 ome of the parties went away towards Norwich . Just at the time that the bishop came out of the church the band and banners returned ; they went on the Catton side of . " the church ; I was in the churchyard The bishop went round the churchyard , and then Hewett took a banner and strcuk it against the railings . The band was playing and the people were shouting . I saw Hewett take ia bans er and plant it against the railings . I suspose the string came loose and the banner fell fromthe pole . Hewett came and held it over the ground . I heard him say something , but do not recollect the words . The
Mayor then took Hewett into custody . The Chartists behaved in a riotous manner , and attempted to rescue him . He was put into a carriage and conveyed to the station-house ; he put his head but of the window and shouted " Hurrah for the Chartists ; three cheers for Feargus O'Connor . " The whole of the force with the superintendent went down to-Catton . We were stationed in various pa-rts to preserve the peace . When we went down the chHrch-gates were not locked ; the church doors were shut . The Mayor came down a very little time after we got there . There was no crowd before the band of music came up . The bishop's carriage came up alone ; : J
Snperintehdent Yarrington examined . ^ - ! was ordered by the Mayor and magistrates to attend at tho new church at Catton , because a riot was apprehended . . 1 at rived there about half-past tm . X am able to speak to Hewett the defendant being there , who headed a procession with bands and banners . Hewett and a number of others came up and asked for admission . A rush ensued , and an attempt to force open the gate , which was broken . I saw HeweU , who calitiU out .. ?* Go it , my boys , " or words to that effect ; he was foremost amongst those who madethecrush . The police succeeded in preventing them from getting in . In a quarter of ah hour the Bishop ' s carriage came , and then there was a great noise and many bad expressions . The carriage could not drive up to the gate . With the assistance of the magistrates and police the Bishop was conducted into the churchyard ; there were more than 100
persons . Hewett was amongst those who were making the rush . After the church was consecrated the bishop came out to consecrate the churchyard ; then the same band came up with the flags ; they came up playing " God save the Queen , " and halted at the corner . After the bishop had gone round the churchyard he went into the church porch to read the service of consecration ; the band then played the old hundredth psalm ; the people were arraying the banners on the church rails . 1 saw Hewett plant a banner myself : the Mayor asked me to go with him and apprehend him . We did so , and the people endeavoured to rescue him ; I 6 aw th « defendant iu the stationhouse afterwards . He considered it a d— - —d odd thing that he could not hire a band and have it play without our interference , and that we had no right to stop his men on the highway . Hewett and the people with him acted together : their conduct was such as to alarm persons who might wish to attend the ceremony . ¦
Cross-examined by Hewett . —You vwere in front of the band , and at the head of the procession . There were several banners ; I told you that you could not come in . The Mayor Baid you might come in after the consecration .: I saw you st ? tiding there twenty minutes or half an hour after I told you . that you could not come in .: You said the Bishop should not go in unless you were admitted ; the Bishop came up in a quarter of an hour after . I never saw such a rush as that against a church-gate . I saw no stones thrown at him ; there were stones thrown . You did not resist : being taken into custody . I heard you personally insult many persons . I cannot say who they were : they were clergymen . It is not my business to say why you were not admitted . There was a rush on the coach when you were taken .
Sergeant Copeman stated—I attended at New Catton Church on the 16 th of November last , I was there when the Bishop was consecrating the churchyard . After he had been round the churchyard he went to the church , and Hewett and others said , "Now we'll go and consecrate it . " Hewett had a large banner with the inscription of the Bishops ' and others' salaries . Hewett was then taken into custody . Some ladies came up in a carriage , and , observing the crowd , were alarmed . Witaess went up and said he thought he could make way for them , but they went away . Ten minutes after the Bishop came up . Respectable people could not get into the church without the assistance of tbe-police . ; . " ¦ ¦^ -- ¦ - ¦ ' ¦ : p- ^ , ¦ ..:, ; . ; ,: . yv „ , ' . ' ... - ; : ¦ ¦ - By Hewett—You said "Go it , my boys , " when the rush was made to force the gate . The Court ( to Hewett . )—You Baid you were going to call witnesses ; what are you going to prove ? Hewitt . —I want to prove that no alarm was created at Catton . ' v
Mr . Ki tsoa , respecting this , deposed—I was near the church gate waiting the arrival of the Bishop ; the people wore conducting themselves in a very riotous manner . When the carriage came up there was the same noise and tumult and pushing ; the Bishop had some difficulty m get ting into the churchyard ; When I entered the church ; the seats were nearly filled . Persona were asked to sit down at the steps of the altar . During the reading of the service the congregation rose up in alarm in consequence of the door being suddenly opened , and the service was for a few minutes stopped . The proceedings were such as to terrify the people . It was quite impossible for females to obtain admission into the church . : v . By Hewitt . —The band was not playing when the congregation rose . ; -, This was the case for the prosecution .
Hewett , in defence , said , he could not sea that there was any charge made out against him , and cited the act relative to riots . The Learned Recorder stated , that any proceedings whioh had a tendency to riot were unlawful , and in summing up explained the difference between a riot and a rout—that where persons tumultously assemble together for the purpose of doing an unlawful act , and such assembling is accompanied with some circumstances of actual violence or is calculated to inspire people with terror , and if they proceed to execute any unlawful purpose , then it is a riot ; but if they do not proceed to execute any unlawful purpose , then it is a rout . ¦ - .: v The Jury consulted for Bpme time , and returned a verdiot of Not Guilty of a rietj but Guilty of a rout .
The Learned Recobdeb ^ then , after remarking that the jury had found Hewett guilty of tho minor offence only , and condemning such proceedings as took place at Catton , sentenced him to be imprisoned for two months , and to find two sureties after that time of £ 50 each , and be himself bound over in the sum ef £ 100 , for his good behaviour for twelve aienths .

LivEBPOOL Cobn Mabket , Jan . 11 . —At a decline of Id to 2 d per bushel from the rates of last Tuesday , there was this morning more disposition amongst the local millers to purchase Wheat , and at that reduction a fair retail business was transacted .

V Hull Cobn Mabket , Tuesday , Jan . 11 th . —For several days back the weather has been frosty , whioh still continues ; this will a good deal improve the condition of English Wheat , and render the demand for liberated foreign still less ( if possible ) than hss " been latterly experienced . There has , during the past week , been so little doing in any article of grain
or seed , that quotations tot any of them cannot ba altered from those noted last week .. Linseed Cake and Rape Cake are dull , and but little doing in either , v Bones unaltered in value , but the demand slack . ¦ T o-day ' s market is well supplied with farmer's Wheat ; the condition improved , but the demand confined to the mere retail demand of the town and neighbouring millers , who select the best samples to supply their own immediate wants , at a decline of Is per quarter ; for secondary qualities little can be done , even by submitting to 2 V per quarter less than last week ; no inquiry for old foreign , and prices nominal . Barley slow sale , at Is per quarter decline , on all qualities . Oats are offering plentifully , and meet a dull sale at late prices . Beans and Peas appear for the moment not wanted .
• Ma nchesteb Cobn Mabket , Fbiday , Jan . 7 . — At our market this morning there was a fair attendance of the trade , but few transactions were reported .

Although the
weather was favourable to slaughtering , and the attendance of buyers numerous , the beef trade was rather dull , at an abatement of 2 d . per 8-lb " , yet a clearance was easily effected . Only 90 Scots and 130 sheep came fresh to hand from Scotland . The numbers of sheep were on the increase , owing to which the mutton trade was dull , and the quotations declined Id . per 8 lb . We were fairly supplied with calves , which moved of slowly at last week ' s quotations . Neat small porkers sold' freely , but in other kinds of pigs exceedingly little was passing . '
London Cobn Exchange , MoubAT , Janoakt 10 . - ^ -The quantity of Wheat on sale this morning from Essex , Kent , and Suffolk was limited , and there was only a moderate fresh supply of Barley , Beans , and Peas from these counties , with scarcely any addition to the arriyal of Oats since Friday , either from our own coast , Scotland , or Ireland .. The imports of foreign Grain- have been only to a trifling extent since this day se ' nnight . The weather has been cold and frosty for several days past , and has now a wintry aspect , with , hovrevcr , yet no fall of snow ia and near the metropolis , though this has been threatened , and still appears likely to be the case . The trade for Wheat continues to be very dull , notwithstanding the shortness in the English su p-S ly , millers complaining of their sales of Sour , comined with a determination to keep their stocks low
until the plan of the new Corn Law has been announced in Parliament . The prices of new Wheat were generally 1 ^ . per quarter lower , with scarcely any variation in the value OF foreign , and only a moderate extent of busineBS transacted therein . Ship Flour was offered on lower terms , and met a limited demand . Select malting Barley was without alteration in value , but secondary sorts were again somewhat cheaper . New : Malt continues to be pressed on the market , and being generally infeirior , it is in the most limited dtmand , at Is . to 2 * per quarter decline , but in good new and " -.. all old there was no material change . Beans were aken slowly , on much the same terms , whilst Peas have declined Is . per quarter again for all sorts . There was a fair demand for OatSi good qualities commanding last Monday ' s prices ; and other sorts were saken more freely by the large dealers than of late .

TEN HOURS' FACTORY QUESTION . Tbe Short Time Committee of Bradford , having deemed it desirable , previous to the meeting of Parliament , to give to the body of overlookers in the town and neighbourhood an opportunity of expressing their opinions on the limitation of labour in factories to ten hours per day , invited them to a public meeting , to he held in the large School Room connected with Christ Church , on Thursday evening . At the hour appointed , the meeting being very numerously attended , ,
Mr . Balks , Secretary to the Committee , said that it devolved upon him to explain the reason why the Short Time Committee had called the meeting . It was in consequence of frequent representations having been made to the Committee that if the overlookers generally were aware of the proceedings of ihe Snort Time Committee , they would come forward and assist them in the obtainment of a further limitation of the hours of labour for young persons employed in factories . ( Hear , hear J The Committee had therefore called the meeting lor tbe purpose of laying before it their present position in reference to this interesting question , and had invited their friends , Mr . W . Walker and Mr . W . Rand , to deliver an account of the interviews they had lately had in London with several of her Majesty ' s Ministers . He wonld sit down by , moving that the Rev . Mr . Morgan preside over the meeting . ( Hear . )
Mr . Chablbs Walker rose to second the proposition , and to express his gratification at agaja meet * iug Mr . Morgan in connexion with the important question whioh they were assembled to advance , ( Hear . ) The Reverend Gentleman had long evinced a lively interest in the amelioration of the faotory system , and it was doubtless , pleasing to the company to perceive iheir venerable friend still at his post of honour and usefulness , endeavouring to promote ' an object intimately connected with the national peace and prosperity . ( Cheers . ) The Rev . W . Mobgan , B . D ., having taken the chair , expressed his readiness to preside over any meeting having in view the improvement of hiB fellaw beings , but he had particular pleasure in again helping forward a work calculated , as he conceived the Ten Hours' Bill to be , to benefit the working
population of Bradford and its neighbourhood . ( Cheers . ) He would not enter into any argument concerning the question , but leave that province to others who werej > resent . He hoped , however , that the proceedings of the meeting would be conducted in an orderly manner , and that every opportunity would be given for fair discussion . He was glad to find that the meeting was favoured with tbe presence ef Mr . W . Rand and Mr . W . Walker , who , some weeks ago , had sought and obtained interviews with Sir Robert Peel and other members of the Government , regarding the factory question , and as it was the wish of the Short Time Committee that the overlooker ? generally should learn from those gentlemen the particulars of those interviews , he was glad to find that there existed a willingness to communicate the same . He would , therefore , call on one of them to address the meeting . ( Hear . )
Mr . W . Walker rose and said , that Mr . Wm . Rand and himself had been requested by the Short Tune Committee to meet them , and the overlookers engaged in . the factories of Bradford , and its neighbourhood , for the purpose of acquainting those so deeply interested in the important question of limiting the hours of factory labour to ten per day , with the result of their recent interview with her Majesty ' s Ministers . He had felt for some time past a conviction that he ought to seek an opportunity of
