      wenieii who intended to address the meeting , the the [ necessity of beiug brief , and confining ^^ their observations , to the particular object for which ib \ ef were asseaibled . jHe was confident the Meeting t would give ... a fair and impartial hearing to every entleiuen who , would apeak ; and he trusted that ei Personv would observe : that strict decoruib at wbuld ' render his interference unnecessafy , and make ^ his place aVsinequre .

      Act , because it was a otoss infringement of thbir "S"A 8—^ w « s / calculated to subvert all the institutioif of the couiitry—it must inevitably destroy the peace and harmony of this kingdoni , arid eventually involve our beloved island in uriiyerisal / anarchy and conJusion . ( Hear and cheers ) . ¦ He iriiplored them as -they desired peace and hapbiness , to exert alt their energies in drinrig the infernal Poor Law Demon out of the land : Another reason Which induces , hun to oppose this law is that the power which it comers upon tlie throe commissioners is unconstitutional . What right had they to compel iEngh ' shmeh to pay rates without their consent . ( Cries of none ) . \ V ould that meeting suffer any persons to interfere ; in the mariagement of their domestic

      concerns . ( INo , no ) . Then ; show by your conduct on this iiripoi taut occasion that you are determined the despotic authorities of Somerset House shall » bt interobse in the regulations of your parbchjial affairs . ( Cheers ) . I will conclude by intrbduchig tOTour liotice Mr . John Knight , of Oldham . : ¦ ° Mr . KxKiHT then said Mr . Chairman arid Gentlemen , I have lived much longer than * most of you whbinl : have ^ ripw the ; pleasure : of addressing . 1 iiv ' ed . ; at- . a ; time .-- > vhen--XBeMld-a-state ; 6 f :. tluug 9 : ' i 4 ore comfortable thaii the present . ; I am older ^ thari most of those Factories by which yoii are surrounded . — At this period toi which l ^ have alluded the shuttle Was confined to the cottage , and lean confidently affirm , that there was far less inisery than at the present

      aay—that tlie people were more happy and cbritented— ^ and that the country enjbyeel a higher degree of prosperity . Is it not straiige and anomalous that when the powers of production have increased to siich an oxtuut , that a proportionate , increase of misery a « d poverty shoula exist ambugst the people . Our . Governriierity have attributed our distresses to very different . causes- They sometimes saidthat we had a redundant population ^ thattlitire were too many people for all to be comfortable . That falsehbodj ( for it was nothing else , ) was repeatedly refuted ; yet its promulgators pertinaciously adhered to the monstrous lie . The truth is , that our rulers always ascribe our poverty to ariy cause but to the true one . The real causes of our distress were that

      dnring and subsequentl y to / the war , the rental of the . landiiad doubled , and the taxes had : nearly trebled . The Government and their dependents , were in receipt of an enormous portion of taxes and it would ; haie been inconvenient for them to admit , that the taxes had occasioned ' -bur . nusery and sufferings . ( Loud cheers . ) Thus had the poverty of t . be people beoiiproduced by ekcessive taxation . Thepeople were daily , beconiirig poorer and poorer , as their oppressors increased in . riches ; arid wealth . It was by despoiliiig the labourer of the fniits of his industry that so much capital -was invested " in maiiul ' actures , and the masters enabled to becorfle lords predominant in the land , . Formerly the people worked at . thoir own homesnow they were

      , cpinpelled to go into their mills , and submit to the most tyrannical-regulations . I have no hesitatiori in ; asserting th «« the cotton lord , as far as his autho-. nty goes , has . more power , than the reigning sovereign of England . He can , make whatever laws he thinks proper , ' and have them enforced by his : -managers and overlookers . The people were induced to enter tUo mills , by the hope of getting more ' wages ; but the couseqiietice was that the mastics obtained tlcepoworwhich the people formerly possessed anil exercised it , to ; tlie pebple / s disadvan-Wge ' . ( IJ ear , hear . ) Immigration was recommended to lesisen our numbers—ibut it has proved too expensive—and now thedamriable Poor Law Act has benii

      passed to acconiulish the destruction of the people ; 1 he poor have died by hundreds frotn starvatiori , although there has been a superabundance of provisiouk uv the couiitry , and yet juries ,, in such coses , hayiv frecmeiitly . returned verdicts ot " died by the visitation of God , " Gi .
