to all those who were unjustly dealt with by the magistrates , during the recent persecution op the chartist ; body . My Feiends , —I have just learned that Mr . Dancombe ' s motion for an inquiry into the conduct of the magistrates who persecuted the people during the recent Anti-Corn-Law League outbreakjia 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 shonld speak for themselves . With that view , I submit the following shprt petition to be forwarded without delay to T . S . Doncombe , Esq ., 6 , the Albany , London .
It had better be sent under a penny Stamp , I have merely given this outline . Each pemn will know how to fill up his own . All can be done on a Bheet 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 once . I shall have mine ready in time . * . . Your faithful friend , Feabqus O'Connor .
To the Right Honourable and Honourable the Knights , Citizens , and Burgesses of the United Kingdom , in Parliament assembled . The Humble Petition of A . B ., Hand-loom Weaver , ahoweth—That your Petitioner was arrested on the day of ¦ last , upon a charge of triot , or as the case may be ) , and was brought before ( here stale the names of the Magistrates and places J , and was remanded at the request of ———— ( here stale how often remanded , and what amount of fine . ) That your Petitioner was required to find bail in tbe sum of subsequently , upon being brought before a Judge . Yeui Petitioner traversed bis trial to the next A&sizbs , and then the Jut , ' ge reduced tbe bail to - ¦ ' That for want of thia bail required by the committing Magistrates your Petitioner ( with a wife and children , as may be ) was compelled to remain in gaol for the epace of Your Petitioner therefore prays that your Honourable House will be pleased to institute an immediate inquiry into your Petitioners case , and your Petitioner , as in duty bound , will ever pray . John Clakk , Handloom-weaver . 6 , Brook-street , Manchester .

There was a long * ' talk" about " privilege , " after which Mr . Ferrand ** came up" again on the matter of the Halifax Poor Law Union . Mr . Fkbband moved " for a list of the guardians of tbe Halifax Union who assembled at the board on Wednesday , the 1 st day of this instant March ; distinguishing the ex officio guardians from the elected guardians ; also , a list of the guardians who were cot present , distinguishing the ex officio guardians from the elected guardians ; also , the name of the Assistant Poor Law Commissioner who attended the board : also , a copy of their minutes and
proceedings , as well as of the resolutions adopted by the board , so far as they relate to the administration of the New Poor Law within the said Union ; 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 which was adopted by the board on the 1 st day of this instant March . " He hoped that no objection would be made to this retnTQi If it wag objected la , it would be supposed by the public that there was something behind the scenes which the Right Hon . Baronet the Secretary for the 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 . Ferrakd 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 . Pekl wished the Hon . Gentleman not to go to a division under the impression that the Government had anything to conceal . Anything tbat could fairly be brought under the cognisance of the House would be freely communicated . His Right Hon . Friend , the Secretary for the Home
Department , had given an assurance that he was ready to produce all the information he possessed relative to the establishment of that which had been called by to many names . It was not fair to assume , as the motion of the Hon . Gentleman did , that upon a particular day a body of guardians had misconducted themselves . He would propose to substitute for the motion of the Hon . Member' That there shall be laid before this House a copy of the minutes and proceedings of the board of guardians of the union of Halifax , held oa the 1 st of March , as far as relates to the administration of the New Poor Law withiu the union ; also a copy of any resolution for the erection of a rag-mill made on that or any other day . "
Colonel Sibthobp and Mr . Hi . vdlkt hoped the Honourable Gentleman would be satisfied with the offsr made by tbe Government , and not divide the House . Mr . Ferba ^ d would not be satisfied with less than the whole of the resolutions passed by the Board on the first of March , together with the notices of the resolutions served by the Clerk to the Board . Sir J . Graham could assure the Hon . Gentleman that , in consequence of what had taken place in the House upon the subject of the rag-mill , be had expressed a strong opinion to the Poor 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 . Dckcombk hoped the Government would have no objection to produce the resolution , passed by the Board on the 8 am © day , for the exclusion of the reporters for the public press .
Captain Pechkli was very happy to hear what had fallen from the Right Honourable Secretary for the Home Department , and he trusted he would set Ma face agaiust the grinding of bones for mauatd in vrorkbonses , Mr . Dzmsoti thought the notices ought to be produced ; they formed a most important part of the proceedings of the Board . Mr . FKBBAKD Baid , the inhabitants of Halifax complained that the board held on tbe 1 st of March was one packed for the purpose of doing the work of tbe Assistant Commissioner , and that notices had not been served on the whole body . He would be content to withdraw his motion if the Right Hon , Baronet wonld add a copy of the notices given at any proceeding meeting of the board of any resolution passed on the 1 st of March ; and be would have no objection to have the resolution for exoluding reporters . If the notices were refused he would divide the House .
Sir 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 deprecated its being again renewed . As to the other resolution , he thought it was highly inexpedient for the House to direct any Board of Guardians to admit or exclude reporters . It was better left to themselves . The original motion was withdrawn , and that proposed by Sir Robert Peel put as a substantive resolution . Mr . Febbam > 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 , which was adopted by the Board on the 1 st of March .

to the top of the house . There is a stop ladder from the ceiling of the house ; near to the top of the ladder there are two trap doors , one of which drops flat upon the joists of the ceiling , and the other opens to the roof . On ths 9 th of January I was employed as plumber at the house , when 1 examined the roof , andm going along the rafters , and when near to the stack of chimneys , I observed a bundle laid upon the projection of the chimney ; it was achildwrapped in . a towel . I lifted one of the corners of the
up cloth to ascertain what it contained , and I saw the j j a c . ! lle Wl ' th me at the time . I returned dowH stairs immediately and gave information to Robert Gregory , and some of the servants , who went np with me , and we examined the body ; •? £° * y 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 tne following Thursday , and I then saw the child : it appeared to be in the same state as when 1 first saw it .
Cross-examined . —I am well acquainted with the Douse ; it would be dangerous going along the ratters ma dark night , without a light . The second nu x ^ i 8 ited the spot , I was accompanied by Kobert Gregory and William Wilson ; the butler the ga mekeeper , and the groom , came up after us ; tne child was \ &a npon tae oiotn jn which it was tound . » «> corners of which were thrown over it I the whole of the child was exposed with the exception or the legs . I did not observe at the time that its throat was cut . Tae trap door through the ceiling is about three feet square ; the one to the roof is about the same size , but a good deal stronger and heavier than the other . Robert Gregory deposed—I am a joiner at Aldbro " and
on the 9 ih June last , I was at Foroetfc Hall , when I was called upon by last witness ; 1 then saw a child laid in a towel , the corners being thrown over the body . I removed the towel , when I saw a gash or cut in the throat . I was employed at jforcott Hall in the month of June or July previous ! i was frequently in the house ; I perceived a smell about the house , which it was thought arose from rats , and a rat catcher was employed when I was there . I Baw 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 twith her after the 9 th of June as I o her lying in . She answered that she had never laid in , or something to that effect ; she appeared smaller at the time .
Cross-examined—I am certain this conversation took place in the joiner's shop , in the hearing of William Wilson , but I don't know that he heard it . I cannot say when I first stated this conversation to have taken place ; perhaps this is the first time that I have stated it on oath . When I observed the gash in the throat I spoke so that thos 6 who were there might have heard it . The distance from the trap-door to the place where the body was found is about thirty-eight feet ; the joists are about twelve inches apart . Re-examined—I am quite positive aa to the conversation taking place . When I saw the gash I said I thought the throat , was cut .
Abraham Derrick deposed—In January last , I was butler at iForcett 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 p lace ; it , was between one and two when I saw the child . I went up to the roof along with Mr . Snowden , police-officer , on the Thursday following , when I t ' onnd the body in the same state as I had previously seen it .
Cross-examined—Gregory , when we were looking at the body , said he thought the throat was cut . 1 looked at it , but I could not boo whether it was or not . I did not observe anything particular about the body . Re-examined . —The body was not removed by
me . Mr . R . Snowdon deposed . —I am tho police-officer of Greta Bridge . On Thursday , the 12 th 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 in 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 the beam and the stack of chimnies ; the face and down to the thighs were visible , the legs being covered with the towel
I did not touch the child . Mr . Johnson Glover , surgeon , was sent for , and he removed it from the 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 out in the throat . There was an inqnest held on the body on the 14 th Jan . ; both I and the prisoner were present . Before tbe 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 bo 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 she said belonged to her sister . The prisoner said if I wanted letters she bad 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 no , she had left . I asked if she knew where sho 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 th of January .
Cross-examined , —The body of the child was very much dried ; the skin was more like parchment than anything else . The doctor had some difficulty in getting the child from the place of concealment ; the cloth was fast to the beam . [ Witness here h anded in a letter which he found at the prisoner ' s house ] Margaret Walker deposed—In June last , I was lady ' s maid at Forcett Hall ; the prisoner and I slept together in a room adjoining tbe 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 days after I returned , the prisoner complained of being unwell , and on the evening in question she went to bed early ,
and I followed between eleven and twelve o olook , 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 bod , saying that she was disturbing me , and she would therefore go into the other room ; she bad disturbed me by turning about in bed , and complaining of great pain . I got up between six and seven in the morning , when I knocked at the door of the room in which the prisoner then was ; it waB locked . The prisoner came to the door , and asked me to fetch her petticoat ; she had on her night gown , and a calico
petticoat , and was eat near to the bed foot . I observed blood on her petticoat and her right hand ; there wero also some spots of blood on the floor . I cannot recollect whether she slept with me or not the night after her illness , but she did on the second night after ; I noticed her on that night ; she kept her petticoat on for several nights . The prisoner was off her work for two or three days . 1 observed that she was smaller than she had been , and I suspected that she had bad a miscarriage . Two or three weeks after , I went with the family into Scotland . I noticed the prisoner to have a peouliar faint smell that I had not remarked before . I observed it the first night she slept with me .
Cross-examined—I had been in the habit of sleeping with the prisoner for abont three months before she had her illness . It is usual for the female servants on retiring to rest to look their room doors . I am living at Forcett Hall . Mrs . Mitchell is dead ; but Mr . Mitchell is living at the Hall . Re examined—A Mrs . Palmer was the guardian of the servants at the time when this transaction took place . There were clothes presses in tbe room where prisoner and I slept , and she had the key of one of them .
Aun Gilliespie—I lived as kitchin maid at Forcett Hall , in January last ;; I slept with Elizabeth Atkinson , and was called up by the prisoner in the month of June last , about four o ' clock in tho morning . She said she was very ill , and wished me to get up and make her some tea . I did so and took it to her . Sho seemed very weak and very ill , and in great pain . She walked up and down the room , and 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 locked ; I knocked at it and the prisoner came and opened it . 1 asked her bow she was and she said she was con&iderably better . I did not see her again until the afternoon of that day , about one o ' clock , in the same room .
About eight-or nine o ' clock in the evening I saw Elizabeth Atkinson taking a pail of warm water out of the scullery boiler ,: and oarry it up stairs . When I was with the prisoner I told her that a , doctor bad been sent for ; but ehe said she did riot need one as she was a : great deal better . I saw stains of blood on' the B . oort carpets , . and vallanco of the bed . The stains on the floer appeared as if they had been partly washed out . I saw the same pail that Atkinson had taken up stairs , in a closet . There was some water in it , which was coloured with blood . Tbe prisoner did not do
any work that day ; and I perceived that she was a great deal more swollen than what she bad 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 ; and that previous to that people had said she was pregnant , which she denied . Elizabeth Atkinson and I slept together from February to tho latter end of March ; during which sho was not ill .

Cross-examined—It was reported that Atkinson was in the family way . After March , I slept with Mrs . Palmer till her husband came home ; I slept with her the night in question . I saw some water in the closet discoloured with blood . \ Ro-examined—It was reported that Elizabeth Atkinson was in a state of pregnancy both at the time she came , and when she left Forcett Hall ; she left at the end of June . ] By Mr . Wilkins—The prisoner ] showed me a footbath , 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 . Buss .- ^ -The prisoner took me up 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 ' Inn , London , jl am solicitor to Mr . Mitchell . In consequence ofj information I received . I came down to Forcttt 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 : —That sometime after the rent day in April , Elizabeth Atkinson , who then slept in tbe room lacing the staircase at the top of the house , called to her at about seven in the evening , as she was passing her room . That she went into the room ; that Elizabeth Atkinson seemed very ill ;
and upon Taylor asking her what ! was the matter , she said that she was very ill , and it was all in her back ; and that if she ( Taylor ) would not tell any of the servants of the house that she was ill , she would give her a sovereign . Taylor replied that she did not want her sovereign . That of course it was no business of hers to tell the other servants . Elizabeth then asked Jane to bring her a little beer up , which she did . When Jane took np the beer , Elizabeth wa 3 in bed , and she placed the beer on a chair by the bud 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 , Jaae knocked at Elizabeth ' s door , and asked for the pail . Elizabeth answered she was going to get up , and would put the pail out , and set it over the landing . Jane immediately , on seeing the pail , observed that it was all daubed with blood on the inside . She ( Taylor ) took it out to the wash-bouse and washed ic out , but could not get the blood off it ; she scrubbed it with a brush , and set it outside the kitchen door , and did not like to use it for two or three days afterwards . A day or two after this , Taylor went to clean out the bedroom on the first floor opposite the ] staircase , and observed the foot bath to be bloody , as if some bloody snb-Btanoe had been thrown flat down into it . She called
/ Vnn , the kitchen maid , to look at it , which she did . Jane took soap and a flannel to wash out the blood but could not , a mark was still left . Atkinson slept a few nights in the same room , and after that came to sleep with Jaue and Ann , in the room down stairs , because she said she was afraid of a ghost she had heard people talk of . Elizabeth came down stairs next day , and went into the laundry as usual . Mrs . Palmer had told her father before this that Atkinson was pregnant ; before this occurred , Taylor observed symptoms which led her to suspect that such was the case . I Several other persons were examined on the part of the prosecution , amongst wnoin was Atkinson , who denied the whole of the prisoner ' s statement , as detailed by the last wieners . Mr . Marsh , a surgeon , of Aldbro' , examined the prisoner in February , 1842 , when he pronounced her to be in a state of pregnancy . i

70 THE EDITOR OF TUB NORTHERN STAR . Sir At the present moment this country is the scane of commotion , strife , and miserjr , caused , in a gretit measure , by the different schemes that now agitate the minds of the public ; each party have their own nostrums , hired leaders , and followers , and in order that tbeir principles , " wise sayings , intentions , and actions" may be known , and consequently more adherents gathered under each particular banner , resort is had to tbe public press , knowing well that it is an engine powerful in leading and directing the mind of unsuspecting nan % . and it is in general easily made subservient to the wishes of , and the propazation of principles too of tea detrimental to the interest of the
unwary dupes of pretending patriots , would-bephilanthropist 3 r and self termed disinterested persons . Amongst sueL are to be found the scheme of Emigration ; having ( like the rest of the bubbles tbat float on the troubled waters of agitation ) its own organs , advocates , and followers ; circulating , defending , and believing , that their cure will alone prove to be efficacious in relieving ns from the misery and distress that now afflicts British society ; that theirs is the only panacea for all the grievances caused by class made laws , and when once removed from this portion of the world , starvation and poverty will no more- be known . Nothing but quitting tbe land that gave them birth will bring them cheap food , high wages , and plenty of work .
Let the admirers and lovers of emigration seriously ponder over tbe following , culled frem the letter of on intelligent and- activo young man , who Ief 6 this part of Scotland last spring , and is 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 are gone thither . He says , that " with regard to emigrating to tflis country , I . have seen no reason to change the opinion I expressed of it in my last letter ,- the farmer with small capital , and persevering industry , and who does not care very much for church , post-offic « , books , nor intelligent society , &c , may do very well , but an individual of a different character will feel himself not at home in the wild woods of America . O God ! how poor peop e
are deceived by the representations , or rather misrepresentations of interested characters . To explain this a little : the Canada and other companies promise land , and tell you a fine story about the fertility ef the soil , and tbe salubrity of the climate ; bat believe them net ; for be it known to you tbat there is a tax upon wild land , and if they can get any person so simple , as to settle npon a portion of the worst of theiis , they thereby escape apart of the wild land tax , andget their property intersected with toads . This colds out encouragement for other ssttlers , and enhances the value 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 , but I have seen a good many of the people , and not only new comers 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 sseu and conversed with some of the Paisley weavers who came oat in tbe Renfrewshire , and they were wishing tbat , bad as Paisley was , they were safely in it again . You may think tbat I am looking on Canada with a jaundiced eye ; I only state facto , you can draw your own conclusions .
" Read this to all my friends and acquaintances , and if A—¦ has got a job of work , an intelligent friend , and Chartist newspaper , he is more comfort * able than in the American bush , in my opinion . " Such , Sir , are the remarks of an intimate friend and distant relative of mine ; and , in my opinion those who intend leaving this conntry should only do bo 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 a scheme at home ? Is it not true tbat there are upwards of thirty millions of uncultivated land capable of improvement io the United Kingdom 1 If we have not A 3 yet ascertained that such is the case , let us make inquiry .
Hoping this will find a corner in your paper , : I am , An Old and Regular Subscribes . Coupar Angus , 27 th February , 1843 .

Charge op Threatening to Shoot the Queen and Sib Robert Pbel —A man wfas brought before the Lord Mayor ou a charge of threatening to shoot the Queen and Sir Robert Peel . The prisoner was James Stevenson , a tallish , sallow-complexioned Scotchman , about thirty years old , with light prominent , grey eyes , matted hair , large mnstachips , and thick yellow beard . He lived jwith- his father in Renfrewshire ; and having wandered t 6 Hull , came up to London by the steam-packet . While on board he was heard to say , that it wag not proper for a woman to rule , and that " the ; woman must be destroyed ! " and ho said that he had business with Sir Robert Peel , who " must answer him , or be destroyed" To the qaestions of the Lord he UlAJflVJVUt 4 AVAUJVJh
. Mayor JL VT | IUO UUWVIVUO V « VUV AJVU ** V returned the most incoherent and rambling answers . He had teen a servant and a weaver ; but for the last three years he had lived on his earnings , ( £ 30 ) , studying the Bible , the Greek { Testament , John Kuox ' s History , 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 out all truth from the Churches of England and Scotland ; iie wanted ! to see Sir-Robert Peel to break thia 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 jyour idea ?"—he replied , " It is— -that every Minister who holds up Anti-Cbris-t must be put down . " He adjudged that " man must reign , not the female "; and he held , that if the Queen did not lay dojwu her office , she must be destroyed . Pistols being mentioned , he exclaimed , " I never intended the pistols . " The Lord Mayor remarked , that there was no law iu the Bible that he should destroy a man who would not fulfil what bethought proper : on whioh he answered readily , " I think there is such a thing : ' Whosoever will not serve the Lord , shall be put to death . '" He quoted other texts , and a paper ! was produced in
whioh he had joined " Such oppressors make wise men mad" to "That very justly they should stab . " " Tne Bible does not teach you that , " said the Lord Mayor . " Yes , " he answered ; "iyou will seethe passages in Judges : Ahao the King was stabbed ; and he was a very fat man , you know . " He does not appear to have heard of the assassination of Mr . Drummond ; but he said he first heard of Sir Robert Peel's being in power " when the man shot at the Queen—that first drew my attention to the subject . " He had but 2 s . 2 £ d . in his pocket when taken . He did not object to his father ' s being j written to ; but he said his father thought him " bad beyond correction . " He was remanded till Friday ; being lodged in the Comptor .
