tion , and under this erroneous idea it is considered fceseflcaL But who does not know that our country aug ht be made to yield bread enough for ourselves snd to spare for others . Why then should the cultivators of the soil be driven like vagrants to seek food in a foreign land ? Are Vhere not numerous extensive tracts purposely kept barren , because the . eport of the rich is preferred to the'living of the poor ? And do bo ; the fowls of tie air , the beasts of the field , and the fishes of tba sea multiply in exhaustless profusion around ? Besides , has not Great Britain power to compel the produce of other countries to its shores , go that the ¦ wide world may be said to be our harvest field ? Say net , then , that England contains too many Englishmen .
If there be no natural necessity that any of the inhabitants of oar Isle of Providence should exile themjelvfcs , is it not a species of infatuated policy that creates an artificial necessity by -which the most useful t > f our peop le are expelled ? Ths industrious farmer who raises food for others cannot obtain it for himself . Instead of encourag ing bis truly beneficial efforts , a parricidal j GoTcmment imposes burthens which oblige him to i ttrow down his implements in despair , and he is forced ' to quit his ungrateful country in the uncertain hope of j -procuring that maintenance abroad which is denied ) The d with
tiini at home . patriot eparts feelings in- 1 Terted , for he carries -within him the indignant con- j aciousnesa that his failure is not occasioned "by his own i want of industry , er the want of reseurces in the I . country , -whether internal or external ; but from the j injustice , moropoly and oppression of its rulers . Para- ! dcrJcal as it nuy appear , it is nevertheless trne that j our national distress does not proceed from poverty , but ! from wealth—from the misappropriation of the rights j of labocring men by a usurping aristocracy and tyran- ! nical capitalists . Luxury disdains homely produce and \ seeks its supplies from extraneous climes . j
Another cause of the depression which afflicts the agriculturists is the greedy sway of the avariciottB ' manufacturers ; aboriginal agriculture is sacrificed to ! indigenous trade . To appease the Belfish clamenrs of ! free traders , farmers are doomed to toil in vain ; yet i though reduced te extremity by unmerited oppression j they never think of turning their sickles into swords , I but quietly leave the land where neither landlord nor mill-lord allows them to live , and strive by patient labour in a fir foreign dime , to remove the privations i they had become subject to in their own country . May i their unrequited services in this world be recompensed in a better ! ¦
England , onee the merry mother of a happy family , has now become a step-dame to her lawful brood . The hardy sons of her soil who -would identify their lives with their native hind , -whose feelings are as unsophisticated at the free elements that invigorate their freshened dales ; whose patriarchal pursuits nourish in them the kindliest nature ; these true-born Enclish yeomen ara to be neglected that a spurious race , sprung from foreign settlers may be favoured—beings -who , epider-like , wenld spin their own bowels for profit ; whose principles fluctuate with their profits , whose allegiance shifts
with their trade , and who -would make England a trades-body dependent npon the custom of other nations , j losing which she would become a bankrupt The . ' cuckoo from abroad has got into our nest , and not content with her harbourage there , she casts out the ! genuine brood upon the pricks . It were an easy task to compare the moral as well as j political character of the agriculturist and the manufac- i turer , but as character depends in a great measure npon occupation , I will avoid a comparison that might be ; deemed invidious , and in its stead contrast the past and present appearance of rural life . Milton ssys or sings : i
" Sometimes with secure delight i The upland hamlets will invite , j When the merry bells ring round , And the jocund rebecks sound ; To many a youth and many a maid , Dancing in the cbequer'd shade , And young and old come forth to play , "Upon a sunshine holiday . " Who can read this without mentally joining in the dance ? And do such scenes now exist la . poetical description only ? Alas , the happiness that in those days was no fiction , is now succeeded by as real misery . Two centuries of Whiggism a » d Teryism—of factions and class legislation , have sufficed to throw down the maypoles , —to expatriate the merry-makers , to send young and old to the bastSe—and now , instead of the youths and tumi ^ a with their jecund rebecks , making a circle of delight round the greenwood tree , we see the indigo-dyed police whose demon scowl has Beared sway
all pleasure and all innocence . * j The callous townsman may be recardless of the j countryman ' s distress ; but ought not the general ruin of his country to make him look beyond his own par- j ticulsr interests ? Emigrants are but escaping from the ; evil day that hangs over England . Trade may bring ' . capital into the country , bnt money ia only artificial ; wealth . Should our intercourse with foreign nations be cut off , where will the manufacturer find a customer , j and how will he obtain bread when the farmer has ' gone and left the land , the true miD 8 of wealth , impoverished ? England has frequently been successful in her -wars , j but then shs fought against foreigners . Her best de- j fenders are becoming tbe adopted Eons " of Ameries—of I thai America which broke from British thraldom , and ! is now free to revenge herself . Past events should be a \ lesson and a warning . Oh , then , let us ctase to consider emigration as a common sewer that drains our land of its refuse population . They ara the best and most useful of our people that thus depart , leaving the idle and profligate behind .
The following tale founded on facts may illustrate some of the foregoing remarks . In Dasby Dale , Yorkshire , there is a small but rural and romantic farm situated at the foot of a pr&dpitjus crag . It is worth while climbing that -crag to view the varied scene beneath . Sometimes , st break of day , misty Tapours roll off the top of- the moor down into the dale and fill it completely . Any one might easily imagine that the ocean had oveiflo-weil the land , and that he stood upon a cliff to mark its progress . As the j morning advances this seeming sea gradually evaporates , and all the characteristic features of the valley are one by one revealed in the clear sunlight . The fertile lands , inter- J sected in every direction with hedges and dotted with I trees , present a perfect contrast to the Eombre and uni- ! form moors above . A brook , edged with trees that ; ;
stoop as if to drink its waters , runs playfully in and out of view through the middle of this narrow vale , and may be called the living tenant of * his landscape . In the back ground , the distant mountains assimilate , with the clouds ; in the foreground they rise bold and i distinct like threatening giants whose crushing weight , j and not the unwieldy skill , imposes terroT . Tbe j crag itself is interspersed with large- ' moss-grown j stones , Titanian fragments , that have fallen from the i rocky clife above , whose beetling brows scowl destruction on all beneath . Covered wish wild herbage , among which grow irregular clumps of dwarf bushes and trees , this boot has more the spDearanee of a covert j j j ! i ! i
for birds £ ud beasts of prey , than a range for domestic j cattle . Immediately below stands the cottage , looking i upon the cultivated lands that spread down to the ; brook ' s brink . Nor is the eye alone gratified in this , interesting ecsne . In spring , a concert led by the loud j thrush on the top of the loftiest tree , and fiiled with , every variety of sound from the shrill treble of the piping wrwi to the deep bass of the mellow dove , makes the crag ring with notes of joy . The lover of nature in her wildest or softest aspects may sit and view a scene that -will map itself upon his mind , or listen to woodland micstrsky that shames even Mainzir ' s singing millions . j ' ;
Living this charming prospect , let us bend our steps ; to the cottage , which is as picturesque as the scene around . A stranger would not distinguish it from the outbuild ' ngs where cattle are lodged . The thatched rocf is long and low , and overgrown with dark moss , ; above which thehouseleek peers—the windows are very narrow and look more like peep-holes than inlets of light . It is ofc-rious that this hut has been built with- i out any preconcerted plan—so far from consulting ! elegance , convenience has scarcely been attended to . ; The outhouses form « n irregular group cf dilapidated ; bafldinge—a little garden lays oddly between , and on ! the outskirts of this primitive homestead , is an orchard ; ¦ whose trees are bo old as to be nearly barren . The i poultry on tiie dunghill and in the pool render the ;
place lively with confused motions and discordant : sands , j ¦ Richard Robinson was the tenant cf this sequestered i farm . His father had lived in the stirring times of war j when the nation weakened its internal strength in the ! place lively with confused motions and discordant : 3 undi j Richard Robinson was the tenant cf this sequestered i farm . His father had lived in the stirring times of war j ween the nation weakened its internal strength in the ! Tain pursuit of foreign power . Iil-directe i ambition is < sure to rec * U—reaction is a natural consequence of j overweening exertion . The money which RicnaraVB ; father saved before the times suffered their present re- 1 lapse , he bequeathed with his example » Dd certain i prodent ™« ism « to his son who succeeded to . a longbere- | ditarv tenancy that m doomed to terminate in him . j According to the custom of the country , the funeral ; © This aswlparent was celebrated with ft feast as though the «* livor 7 were reeved by the most natural means j te avat the fate of the deceased from «»»*** " t tae 86

chanically knitting or spinning , while the scenes of her past life shifted before her mind ' s eye , like a revolving diorama . By dint of industry and economy this family of farmers kept their ground though the times were fast retrogading , and if not happy they were at least content . Tbe routine of each day ' s labour was planned tba evening before—its regular discharge left them to enjoy without interruption their boors of rest , which were always cheered with recreation . Tasks were undertaken for pastime—pleasure and profit seemed to 1 e bound up - » « -.-. _ : * u __ _>__ - - - •• *« . ..
with eveif sheaf of com . Tbe father took freqoent occasion from his w *> rk to make ingenious exemplifications of moral -virtue—the son rang heroic strains to animate a spirit already too prone to enterprizs—the mother enforced her advice by delivering it in the accent of gentle reproof—the daughter sung tender ditties which increased her rather too morbid sensibility—but the old dames ' s voice was seldom beard except when raised against some innovation of fashion or when poured in expressions of maudlin pity npon some object of love or distress . Thus oid the members of this connected family evince their relative stations in it .
In the long winter evenings a circle of neighbours would oftentimes gather round the large turf fire that lay heaped up on the open hearth . There , while the wind shook the old dwelling , as if angry at being barred out—while the hail clattered against the windows , and the scream of the owl arose like the cry of one benighted in the storm , the heedless and happy inmaUs entertained each other with the sayings and doir . ga of their forefathers . The adventures of a talker , whose tongue performs feats which the arm had never done —who tells what might have happened , if what did happen be not worth the telling ; in a word , whose imagination supplies all the deficiencies of reality , this important personage , as needful to enliven as the fire to warm the company , was no more wanting here fh » ri in more refined societies . The bustling wife would use the privilege of her sex to speak freely the pertinent joke ; the daughter listened in silence , as she bent over her sewing ; none laughed so heartily as the son ; but mirth had lost its power on his aged grandmother , who dosed the while in her soft arm chair .
Could Ambitien have stooped to enter this lowly abode , there might he have fonnd health and content lovingly comferting each other . On a summer ' s Sabbath the quiet rays of the sun rested calmly upon the simple furniture , an image of that peace which the world cannot giva The oaken panels , polished by the rubbing of successive generations , shone black as jet ; tke articles of use were burnished , and served likewise for ornaments ; the old clock constantly clacked in a comer , iiie a gossip whom age has made garrulous ; the pictured emblems of Faith , Hope , and Charity indicated that those virtues had ehosen this obscure cottage for their retreat from a hostile world . Here Piety might have found a rtfuge , and dwelt a rural hermit here .
Sometimes the bid state of the markets would lead to a discussion of the hardness of the times . Upon this topic Richard was listened to with much deference ; for besides that his succesg gave much weight to his opinions , his experience and natural good sense had procured for him the honourable post of parish arbitrator . Likehisprototype , '' PoorRichard , " our Richard used to speak apothegms . He would say— " Tbe times are bad . but folks are worss . Theii fathers were earners , but the sons are spenders . A shilling would procure a good dinner , and if we do not need it ourselves there are many that do , and so may we at some future tims : we should think of this before we waste a shilling . Yon
may always spend faster than you can earn . Luxuries are far dearer than nec&sssriea , and indeed are dear £ t any price . What is sold is low-priced ; what is bought is high- No woncer that extravagant sons sink faster back than their careful fathers went forward . They -walk slowly to work , bnt gallop to sport . I believe those farms are few that will not keep a comfortable house , and this is ali that can be expected nowa-days . To be sure , misfortunes will foil the best management" Thus spake Richard , whose prosperity exemplified tbe value of his precepts ; but little did he foresee that adversity would prove their inefficacy when cases are altered by circumstances .
Incited by the love of adventure common to highspirited youth Richard ' s son went one evening without his father ' s knowledge and shot a hare . Directed by the report of the gnn , the gamekeeper intercepted the young poacher ' s retreat and demanded bis booty . The boy with much reluctance complied , hoping thus to appease the insatiate man of authority , but in vain . The gun was next demanded—this had been borrowed and therefore the lad was determined to run all risks , rather than give it up . A struggle ensued—the keeper tras thrown and the victor ran off with the weapon of coatenrioD . This simple qnarrel was greatly exaggerated —the lad was summoned , convicted , and Bent to prison . Though much vexed at his son , Richard could not bnt ftjel more resentment against his persecutor .-After vainly endeavouring to compound matters , bte wif a and be repaired to the assize town to do what could be done for their boy .
The eyes of justice have been bandaged by law—right is weighed in her left hand—the sword is wielded instead of the balance . Richard attended at his son ' s trial and heard the sentence of banishment pronounced against him—his own psace of mind was banished at the sound . The lad , with whose existence the beat part of his own had been identified , who had been the object of so much care and pains , who had new become capable and was willing to requite his parents—such a son to be ignontiniously torn from them and sent in such a manner to such a doom ! Richard with his wife retired into a corner of the court and wept bitterlythey could not comfort each other , and the lawyers , thinking probably that they -were beyond consolation , never attempted to console them .
When this sorrowful couple returned home they found their only remaining child in tears—the sight made their own flow anew for they naturally deemed that her brother ' s bereavement had occasioned her grief , but it sprung from a deeper source . A youth , who had volunteered his services during Richard ' s temporary absence , had improved the opportunity thus unsuspectingly afforded him to accomplish the ruin of his daughter , regardless of the affliction that had already befallen this ill-fated family . Poverty did not restrain him from committing a crime , the consequences of which it disabled him from remedying , and donble
j j i j ! j i i j j | I villain was he who could thus knowingly take advauj tage of the simple coafidenca reposed in him by an art-• less maiden to betray her to shame and want . When i informed of the situation of his daughter Richard j heaved one sigh , looked up and then went his way I without saying a word . His aon had been taken from j him not by tbe decree of heaven , but of unjust man , and : ' sent to a barbarous land—his daughter , instead of being i a comfort to him when he most needed it , bad become ; a disgraceful burthen that added to the weight of his | griefs , and bowed his spirits lower than the worst i times could have sunk it His fireside no more attracted his neighbours . All these things were against him .

being the easiest of access from all the six centra . There are questions of vital importance awaiting their determination . 1 . How aught the Chartista to treat the Complete-Suffrage movement in Scotland . 2 . How far is it proper for the Chartists to Interfere in Strikes , and ia declarations for a particular rate of wages , as Chartists . 3 . Another subject of -vital importance demanding their consideration Is , to ascertain the number of those who held Chartist principles in proportion to the adult population of the place each number represents . 4 . Another matter of great importance to the success of onr movement is a declaration from this executive against all violence and unlawful proceedings . 5 . To take into consideration the despotic doctrine laid down by the Home Secretary , that a constable was to Judge of what constituted a legal meeting . If so we may consider the Habeas Corpus act suspended in this country . ..... _
6 . That the names and addresses of all those at present lecturing upon the Charter be coUected » inl officially reported through the Star , as there is great danger likely to result from inattention to this matter . It cannot be disputed but that these are subjects of great importance . An error committed upon any one of these , ir . jures or retards tbe progress of the causa ; entire and complete uniformity of action is desirable . A declaration through a properly elected executive is the only means whereby it can be secured . It was the duty of the nominal General Secretary for Scotland , -who was appointed on tbe 3 rd January last , to have corresponded with the six centres , and have
ascertained their views upon these important subjects , as it is reported that he is now installed secretary to the Complete Suffrage Association of Glasgow : thus the means to convene these six centres is removed , it now belongs to themselves to appoint a time and elect representatives to settle the subjects mentioned , with others that might be added to it . The West Midland District has elected their delegate some timo since , their election having fallen upon Mr . A . Duncan , I trust then that they will proceed to their election , so as that the Chartists in Scotland may act with the spirit of unanimity and brotherly confidence , as men who are engaged in a great and good cause , ready to sacrifice every selfish consideration for the general good .
I am , respected friends , YourB , truly , David Thompson . P . S . As I have received communications already wishing me to lay before this district the propriety of getting up a delegate meeting , I am quite agreeable to serve those districts intending to elect representatives . If they think of sending their communications to me I will lay them before the Association of AUoa , and this District , and make arrangements with the friends in Edinburgh for their meeting . D .

TO MR . PATRICK RAFTER , OF THE IRISH UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION .
LETTER I . Aye , roar in his train let them orators lash Their fanciful spirits to pamper his pride Not thus did thy Gtra'tan indignantly lash His soul o ' er the freedom implored and denied . Byron . Mt dear Rafter , —The reJgn of Toryism has commenced here in true earnest , and the base Whigs have succeeded in laying the foundation stone of another bloody and brutal structure ! They are loud in their laudations of what a splendid edifice it will be ! But the people of England deserve to be eternal Blaves if they ever again lay their bricks and mortar for them . So O'Connell has come out for the Six Points . Have
I not always told you he would ds so , when deprived of Whig patronage and power , and that he would endeavour to make stepping-stones of the sham Radicals to regain it . I know your sentiments too well to believe that you can for a moment join in the supposition that O'Connell is a sincere patriot . I also believe that you are not the man to lend yourself to the propagation of any other opinion againBt your sense and judgment Ycu know what my opinions are on this subject , and you also know , from your close and personal intercourse with me for the last sixteen years , that I am not the man to bow down before the " golden calf " today , that I yesterday proclaimed a cold , bloated , heartless idoL No , no man shall say to me
"Is it madness or meanness that clings to thee now ? Were he God as he is , but the commonest clay , With scarce fewer wrinkles than sins on his brow , Such servile devotion ought shame thee away . " No one would be more ready than I would to make any sacrifice , if I thought it were for the public good ; but , looking as I do , a little beyond the water's edge , I will never embark in a vessel when I know that the old admiral , boatswain , and most of the crew believe he * not to be sea worthy ; and that they are only locking out for a shallow to get safely on shore , that they may leave her and her unwary passengers ( after taking their passage money ) to perish on the rocks ,
and breakers that surround them ! Yon kuow , and I know that this has been done in Ireland time after time ; but again and again has a fresh frigate been rigged out ; and again and again have we heard the old captain ' s cry , " Come along , my boys , pay your fare , we're now just going to fctart for the port of freedom ! " Have we not often started her with 160 , 000 cheers from the bay of Dunleary ; but alas , have we not always seen her return dismantled and tattered , and her hardy crews ( the forties and the tythe victims ) wrecked and destroyed I -while her Admiral was skulking under tbe gunwale of the Kingstown and HoHyhead steamer . ' And this is the man , forsooth , who is to make England again
" The envy of surrounding nations ;'
and Ireland " Great , glorious , and free , first flower of the earth , And first gem of the sea I " You will bear in mind the many attempts that Mr . O'Connell has made to get the English people to give up their leaders , and also tbe many attempts he has made to-cause them to abandon Universal Suffrage for General Suffrage ! Household Suffrage ! Complete Suffrage I Well , all these have failed , and as I have foretold you , he now comes to the last kiok ; for like Yorick ' s skull , " to this favour he must come . " But what a sight is here , my countrymen ; the man wh ? assisted in penning tbe Charter , then denouncing it , is obliged by the force of events to come back , tired , without any one pitying him , to the very spet from whence he started , changing as completely as the compass in a
whirlwind , the doiphin , or the camelien . The times really seem to have as much effect on him as a touch of the hand to the seusative plant . You will also bear in mind that Mr . O Cornell has been a member and a principal adviser of the Anti-Corn Law League ; yen will also remark that he rather ludicrously apologised for his absence at the late Anti-Corn Law League , hold in London just before the present outbreak , and when ilr . George Thompson , their secretary , made Eucb a violent speech against the Government , and in which some very Btrong threats were heH out . I have stssn this speech printed and posted in many towns , and on even tbe huts of the fishermen in Hastings , along the coast Now it is a well known fact that the League premeditated stopping the mills for some time before they did so ; but did Mr . O'Connell ( whom -ce cannot conceive to be ignorant of their intentions ) either expose or denounce snGh an infernal scheme ? couple this with
bis desire to get shut of tbe Chartist leaders , and you have the why and the wherefore brand up in a little Whig wrapper . Ah ! the rascals , if they could only get Ehut of the leaders they think the people could be easily made to follow , and I ara sorry to say that too many of tbe Chartist leaders have taken the bait that was laid for them , while they are now quite crazy because Mr . O'Connor was too wide awake for them to be caught by their chaff , and they are now crying coward at him because he did not give the Tory bullets a chance of trying the seftness of his heart , while had he been fool-hardy enough to display bis useless bravery , the rascals who now call him coward would be the first to exult in the arrest of the " hotbrained agitator , " or tho inglorious death of a man who could allow himself to be made a second Jack Kade , to gratify the thirsty blood-hounds -whose burning throats were parching for a second Peteiloo > like Satan ,
" Armed with hell-flames and fury , all at once O'er heaven ' s high towers to force resistless way . " Of one thing I am convinced , that the Leaguers have been much disappointed at the strike . They have been foiled in most of their deep laid plots to break np the present organization , and the foiling of which has rendered O'CosnelTs long hatched addreas a rather rotten reed for him to lean upon . There is enough of virtue in the pe . pie of i ngland , though they were deprived of every leader , to Bcout from their councils the traducer of their wives and daughters , and the betrayer of 500 , 000 of his own confiding countrymen . They still remember
the cry of the factory babes ; nor do they forget the Glasgow cotton spinners , the Dorchester labourers , nor the shout of exnltatlon at the fate of the betrayed Frost No , do ; the men of England will not join with the man who could coldly and callously look on while the blood of the men of Ciare is still crying for vengeance . They still remember , if he shamelessly forget , the massacre of Rathcormac ! of Churchtown ! of Wallstown ! and Carrickflhaugh ! I am , dear Rafter , Your ' s in the good cause , L . T . Clakct .

PROOF OF MIDDLE-CLiSS SYMPATHY . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOBTHEBN STAB . Sib , —In passing through a few colliery districts of Durham , and Northumberland , I have learned a few facts , namely , any one who has the least desire for freedom can not obtain employment upon the most tedious terms , that is to say , they can only be employed from day to day , so that if it is found that any slave thus employed shall look into the Northern Star , or any other liberal paper , such slaves are , without a day ' s notice , discharged from their employ and turned out of their cottages .
You must understand , sir , that employers here are both coal mine , cottage , and slave proprietors , for if a man desires work and is willing to sacriQce political principle , he may be a slave for twelve months , and after being thus bound be cannot abstain from ; work a single day without a note from the colliery doctor , Without being subject to imprisonment—neither are the colliers allowed to have a doctor or their own choosing—such gentlemen are to be selected by the master miners . If a collier takes in a lodger who does not work on the same establishment , the cellier must pay one shilling and sixpence a-week more rent fer ouch lodger . School masters are of the same appointment , for it happened a few weeks ago that a poor man , although the first scholar in the whole colliery , was roosted out of the neighbourhood , and was not allowed to have either a school or employment ; because his mind was tinged a little with thinking about politics .
The coal-masters are supremely good , pious , and religious . Tbe other day , a raving madman cried out in the street , " Thank God ! no man need go into the pit " ( hell ) , when a poor Blave cried out , " What a d- —d lie , for I have to go into the pit ( coal pit ) every day , and work there from twelve to fourteen heur 3 , or me and my family must starve . " The lazy , canting knave had te walk about his business . If colliers are only found talking about politics over a pot of beer , it becomes hard work for the publican to get his licence renewed . You may judge for yourself how things are here , when some of the coal masters are magistrates . They know too well that if the People ' s Charter was made the basis of all future legislation , it would ere long be impossible for any of them to have a supreme control over the labour and lives of a thousand Blaves and their families .

ANOTHER VICTIM OF CLASS TYfJANNY . On Friday evening last , Mr . James Cartledge , the Sesretary to the South Lancashire Delegates , waa arrested by Mr . Inspector Irvine , en a charge of using seditious language at Mot tram Green , on Sunday , the 14 th August Mr . Cartledge was conveyed in a coach te the Town Hall , and consigned to the lock-up underneath that building ; A great number of papers snd boeks were se ? z 9 d , consisting of Chartist Circulars , Northern Stars , and portraits given with that paper , together with a quantity of children ' s school book 3 . Mr . Cartledge haviDfj for some years back conducted a seminary for the instruction of youth , in which capacity he is much respected- A box fu : l of books , belonging to Mrs . Cartledge ' s brother , were also taken to the Town Hall , where they were subjected to a rigid scrutiny .
Mr . Cartledge having been kept in the lock-up from Friday uetil Monday , -was removed to Hyde , accompanied by iTVine and Cross , for the purpose , as the Hyde magistrates informed him , to hear the deposi-Hons against him rend over , at the samo time telling him there were other charges against him of a serious nature in Lancashire . The depositions -were then read and aworn to , and Mr . CartleOge aaked if he had ar . y qupstions to put to the witnesEes . the Chairman advising nun to be c&u'ious , as his questions would be written down and appear against him on his trial . C . trtledge , however , put a few questions , and elicited from the witnesses that they were officers in the Cheshire constabulary force . CartledRe declined saying anything in defence , and Captain Clark having consulted his . brother magistrate * , stated that it -was a baiJable offacce , and ordered Cartledge to find two sureties jn three hundred pound ? each , and himself in six _ hundred pounds , to appear at the next Cheater Assizes , iiad to give forty-eight hears' notice .
Notwithstanding the exorbitaut amount of bail demanded froai this .-pobr man . suchwas tho conduct of the magistrates that they refused to take foa ? sureties at £ 150 each , instead of two at £ 290 . I applied for liberty to see Mr . Csrtifedge , which was readily granted , ncU I was locked up with hia in his cell for some time , and after consulting with trial concerning his bail -, he desired that 1 ' " would make it known to the public , through the columns of ths Star , thair he received the btst of treatment at the hands of the Manchester officers .
