At Jgst the defendant overpowered him , awl draped him to his own house ; he then took out the handeaSs , and pot them on liie plaintiff , led him along the streets like a common fekm , and took him to prison , beating him as ne -went along . After he had given him mto custody at the -gaol , % * made this ^ eech— -Fra giveathafe ^ wil soaiethinfwith these paddles , which he will feel more of to-morrow . " He was imprisoned for two days , then discharged by the magistrates , but he was so severely injured by the blows he had received that he was unable to go to work for a week . This being the case , he trusted

      die Jury would teach this man , and all other constables , that they shooldnof exercise the power with which the law had invested fhem in thissavage and oppress ^ mann er , to the injury of their fellow . subjects . - These facts having been proved , Mr . Duxdas addressed ^ the Jwy , for the defence , calling upon them to vindicate tbe constable in the execution of his duty . His wife ^ and be had quarrelled : and he being intoxicated , " had followed her -with a stick in his hand , she screaming " murder , " and seeking refuge in aneighbour ^ s house- When Mr . Drake came , the plaintiff ordered him out of the house , and threatened that if he did not go , he would knock , his brains oat . -The plaintiff seized the tallyiron for that purpose , with which he struck the defendant , when the constable was obliged to use his staff

      of authority . The man was very violent ; the constable took him to his own house ; and when all peaceable means had failed to quieten him , he was obliged to handcoff , and do his daty by taking him . to prison . Thecondnctof the plaintiff was extremely hlameable and oatrageons , and therefore thfi constable was justified in . having lecooxse to strong measures for the preservation ofthe peace . Martha Turton , Charles Clark , journeyman to the defendant , Adam Bunting , a policeman , Mr . Sampson , and Mr . "Wild , chief constable , were called in support of the defendant ' s case . . Mr . Baises -replied in a forcible address , calling npon them to weigh the probabilities of the case , - and contrast the evidence given bvthe defendant with

      the acknowledged fects . He contended that the witnesses proved too much to be implicitly credited ; and where they deceived on one point , how were the Jurv to draw the line of demarcation between falsehood and truth . After commenting on the entire evidence , submitting that the defence was an afterthought , trumped up to snit the purposes of the present action . The Learned Jcdge , in summing up , laid it down as a clear point of law , that a constable has no right to apprehend a man for a breach ofthe peace , unless committed in his presence , nor to enter into a man's house merely to remonstrate with hVm . The constable had not known his duty . The Jurv , after being absent above an hour , returned a verdict for the plaintiff— " Damages , one farthin ? . "

      HICK V . ROWLrT AXD OTHERS . Sir . Cresstcell and Mr . Rxobt . e 3 were for the plaintiff , ilr . Alexander and Mr . Watsox for the " Defendants . The action was brought to recover the value of a promissory note and interest , dated the 20 th of Jannary , JS 37 . There was an alteration on the face of the ' note , but this having been satisfactorily explained , the Jurv returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £ 106 . 10 s . TUESDAY , March 13 . Mr . Justice Pattesos took his * eat this mornin ? at nine o ' clock .

      CRAVXX ASD ANOTHEB t . HALLILET . Mr . Ceesswell , Mr . Alexander , Hon . J . S . Wortley , and Mr . Cowling , appeared for the plaintiffs ; Mr . Wightmax , Mr . Watsox , and Mr . Maetts , for the defendant . The action was . brought by die assignees of Mr . Henry Haffiley , a bankrupt , lately earning on business as a woolstapler , at Wakefielo , against Mr . John Halfiley , his father , to recover £ 4164 , taken under a writof execution . The defendant pleaded Die general issue , and specially denied the bankruptcy of his son , at the time the property -was taken . v

      Sir . Cresswell entered-into a short narrative of the facts of the case . The defendant and Ms two sons formerly carried on business as wool dyers , at Wakefield ; m 1825 , the partnership was dissol ^ d , and the business transferred to Mr . Henry HallSev , one of the sons . Shortly afterwards , he married tlie dacsb-ter of Mr . Jonathan Barthrop , who carried on the business of a woolstapler . at that town , and Mr . Henry Halnley then entered into partnership with his father-in-law , embarking £ 4 , 000 in the business , which was advanced to him on a promissory note . The business thus continued until September , 1 S 35 . ¦ when 31 r . Barthrop suddenly died ! and leftMt Edwin Barthrop , his executor ; and the latter , who

      was a commission agent , then undertook to wind up the affairs of the partnership . On examination , it was found that he had died insolvent , and Edwin Barthrop being then desirous to embark in the business , was very unwilling that its insolvency should become known ; to prevent this , he advanced between £ 5 , 000 and £ 6 , 000 , of his own money , to meet the bills , as they became due ; and Henry Haffiley , as surviving partner , was debtor to that Bmonnc Having thusinvolred himself in difficulties , Edwin Barthrop became himself a bankrupt in 1836 ; and was examined under the commission of bankruptcy , on the 2 nd of January , 1837 . His examination was calculated to expose the affairs of the

      ranuly ; and on the 4 th of January , Mr . Archer , a "dicker , who married Mr . HallileVs daughter , obtained a warrant of execution ^ at the suit of Mr . Jonathan HalEley , to seize the eoodg of his son . The goods were valued by Mr . Hauxwell and Mr . Carr , at £ 4 . 6 ) * 2 , aad a . sheriff ' s-officer look them in execution . They were , not sold in the ordinary coarse of law , but assigned to the High-Sheriff of Yorkshire , for the benefitof Mr . HalHley . Enquiry was then made by the creditors as to the reasons for this proceeding ; and it was then found that in November , 1835 , Henry had given his father awarrant of attorney for £ 12 , 000 , which very far exceeded every farthing he had in the world . But although this

      warrant was given in ^ November , Mr . Archer iept it safely in his pocket nntil the 4 th of January , ¦ when the affairs of the parties were exposed . TL us natters then stood ; m 1835 , old Mr . HaDiit-y traiKerred his business to his son Henry , who , in awhtion to the business of dver carried on that of a oolstapler until 1835 , wnen Mr . Barthrop , his P * teer , died , and it was found that the concern •^ insolvent . The affairs were wdnnd-np in September , 1835 , and the next month Mr . Henry Haffiley . gave his father a warrant of attorney for £ mXKj , unthorising him to seize the whole of his assets . Immediately tm the examination of Mr .

      Qeary HaHfley , on die : 4 th of January , the seizure * as made . They would also hear that the average sock of indigo usually kept by the firm for the Purposes of dyeing was worth abont £ 200 ; while ajanediately before the seizure there was £ 2 , 000 fahieof that article . Thus the merchant in indigo * bs a creditor to above the amount of £ 2 , 000 , while « s entire of the property had been swept off by the kther , under a warrant of attorney . Mr . Cresswixl submitted that this was a fraudulent transaction by a family compact , and that , therefore , the banfaopt laws required that the property should be given up for equal distribution amongst all the creditors .

      . Several witnesses were called , who established laelactsstatedintlie opening . . Mr . Wightmax submitted that Ms learned friends "ad not made out the petitioning creditor ' s debt . Mr .

      Mr . Cresswell stated that in the year 1836 , the plaintiff was desirous of possessing shares in the \ Northern and Central Bank of England , and accordingly applied to Mr . Scott , who managed the Leeds Branch of it ,, and who informed him that the shares were advancing in the market , and that he would obtain him some , and endeavour to procure hhn the half-yearly dividends , which were then due , upon the shares ' . Mr , Scott wrote to the Directors , and the result was , that the plaintiff was to have 100 shares , at a premium of SOs ^ for which he immediately sent his draft to the bank . No scrip , however , was sent to him ; and he then demanded the share ' s and dividend , which he

      did not obtain . Mr . Wilson then desired to have a deposit receipt for the money which he had paid ; but the bank was then involved in uifnculties , and the Manager stated that his name nad been returned to the Stamp Office as a shareholder , and that he possessed 100 shares in the bank . He accordingly brought the present action . Mr . J . P . Scott deposed that he succeeded Mr . Scarth as Manager of the Leeds Branch of the Northern and Central Bank , in 1835 j the Bank did business with the Huddersfield Banking Company . He frequently met with the plaintiff on business , who mentioned to him , in August , 1836 . that he wished to have some shares in the Northern and Central Bank . He expected to obtain them

      at par , and made application to the Directors in the usual form ! . 'Having received an answer from them , he wrote to Mr . Wilson , informing him that 100 shared had been awarded to him , at a premium of 80 s . per share—the charges on them were scrip at Is . per share , £ 5 , and £ 28 18 s . interest , making altogether £ 1 , 433 18 s . He received an answer from the plaintiff , who remitted the money for the shares . Mr . Cassels was then the agent for the bank in London , and the scrip for the shares was not forwarded to Mr . Wilson . There was a half-yearly dividend of £ 4 per « ent . paid at that rime , but he did not pay

      tnat to the plaintiff , although he applied to him several times respecting it . Towards the end of November , Mr . Wilson declined to have anything to do with the shares , and claimed a deposit receipt for the draft which he had sent to the Bank of the Company . This the _ witness was unable to give to Mm , but he communicated with Mr . StelL . one of the Directors , on the subject , when it was stated that his name had been sent to the Stamp Office , London , as a shareholder , pursuant to the provis-. ons of the Joint Stock Banking Act . Mr . Wilson had applied for the deposit receipt before the shares had fallen in price .

      The correspondence which had passed between the parties was then read . Mr . Serjeant Atcherley addresed the Jury for the defendant , in a forcible manner . He contended that afuT the plaintiff had contracted for the shares and demanded the dividend , he was legally responsible as a shareholder , although he might not have > -i gHtf d the deed of settlem en t . Let the J ury look to the correspondence . between him and Mr . Scott and

      they conld not doubt of his intention to be a proprietor ; bnt when he found , in October , that shares were falling in the market , he endeavoured to take adrantaee of bis not having signed the deed to get rid of theljargain . What would the Jury say as merchants and men ofbusiness , if speculation of this sort were not to be binding until the parties had signed the deed of settlement . Under these circumstances he submitted that the defendant was entitled to their verdict .

      The Jury withdrew and after a long absence , returned a verdictfor the plaintiff—damages £ 1433 . 18 s . ¦

      LOCKING r . HOWARTH , Mr . _ CRESWELi , and Mr . Hoggi n ' s were for the plaintiff , who resides in the neighbourhood of Hull ; andMr . BAiXEsfor the defendant , a gentleman of property in that town . The action was to recover £ 500 for money expended by the plaintiff for the use of the defendant ' s uncle , of whom he was executor . At his Lordship ' s suggestion , the cause was referred . . ( Continued in our 4 M Page . )

      TO THE EDITORS OK THE NORTHERS STAR . Gentlemen *—Have the goodness to insert , in your next ntanber . the following Letter of the Anti-Poor Law Committee of Macclesfield to the Lord Bishop of Norwich : — My Lorti , —We acknowledge the receipt of your letter , in which you state that you have received the Earl of Stanhope's " singular misrepresentation of the Poor Laws . " We , the committee , are very dearons of making aLWance for the want of intellect in the heads of our fellow mortals , but cannot refrain from stating , as our opinion , that your Lordship must have put an erroneous construction on the noble Earl ' s language . Your Lordship goes on to state , that yon have

      devotedmuch of your time to an investigation of ita principle ? , '^ and closely watched its operations in various parts of England ; and that every day ' s experience strengthens your conviction that no legislative enactment has ever tended more effectually to raise the character of the pauper population ; that , tinder its judicious regulations , profligacy , idleness , intemperance , and improvidence are gradually giving way to sobers industrious " , and pradent habits ; that whenever it has been allowed a full and fair trial , the state of the poor has been obviousl y improved ; and that mothers and wives have repeatedly expressed their satisfaction at the increase of their domestic eomfort . Your Lordship then says , that you are bound , as a Christian , and friend to the poorer

      classes of your countrymen , to give it your warmest support . We cannot withhold from vonr Lordship our doubts , as to your devoting so much of your time to the tyrannical discipline carried on in the Poor Lair Prisms , and beg leave to callyonT attention to the Deptford Union Workhouse ^ -where , in the case of an aged couple of the name of Dodwell , who had been married upwards of forty years , who through age and infirmities were driven into the above workhonse , the aged wife having been separated from the partner of her joys and sorrows , wag taken very ill , and , during the seven days she lived , iepeatedly made application to the governess of the workhouse "for leave to see her husband , which was as often refused . The indulgence was ordered by the

      visit ing surgeon , but to no purpose ; and , what is more horrible , the day on which she died , she asked leave for a clergyman to come and render her consolation in her dying moments ; can your Lordship believe ^ bis last request was also refused ; bnt , when the inhuman governess saw the victim of the Poor Law about to depart this life , she then gave orders for her aged husband to see her , but , alas ! a corps , for , on his arrival at her bed-side , sue was dead !!! The next case to which we invite your attention , is that of an old man named Gurney , who died suddenly in the Kensington Workhouse . No inquest was held , but information was sent to the * wife of

      the deceased , who was living by herself at Poplar , and , on the following day , accompanied by a friend , she went to the Union workhouse to see the body of her husband * On entering the yard , she was directed to the dead-house , when she was horror stricken at the sight which presented itself , the- jJace being sprinkled trilh gore , and t / ie body of her husband nak-ea ,. and uncovered , lying on the table . The stomach and chest'had been opened , but not sewed np again . _ The eyes were nearly starting out of the head , which had been opened , and the brains removed . Such was the state in which she was allowed to . see the mangled remains of her aged husband . ^

      One other case and we have done , which is that of a poor woman residing in Nottinghill , in the same Union , who applied to the guardians fora coffin to bury ier child in , the vicar and churchwardens having agreed . to forego their nsual fees . The guardians told her to bring the child to the Union workhouse , and they would send it to some dissecting-room , which would save the expence of a coffin . The above are only a few out of hundreds of cases that might be brought before your notice ; and bear in mind , my Lord , they are jaefs , not having-been contradicted by any enquiry the commissioners , have

      made . Yet . your Lordship passes an euloginm on , and warmly supports , witn yonr voice and pen , the cursed law nnder ¦ which , such . torture can be and is inflicted on the suffering poor of this country : and it is with extreme regret we find the last act of yonr Lordship , prior to yonr resignation sis * guardian in this Union , was that of signing your name in favour of erecting a Prison House in the neiehbonrhdod of Macclesfield , an act , that ^ for which , generations must pass away before the ntmerof Norwich ^ wiU be held in % any other light thatf that of abhorrence—but toyonrletter .

      TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . TO THE WORKING CLASSES OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND . AND TO THE MEMBERS OF TRADES UNIONS IN PAR-¦ l 1 C' lj XtfA . iv * ^ Friexds axd FEtLow-CouxTRYMEx , —For the last six months you have been denounced by the public press of this country , by persons holding high official authority , and by pretended " Patriots " aiid " Liberators" as assassins , murderers , and destroyers of property , for the purpose of maintaining your wages against the inroads made on your order by misgoverament and misapplication of capital and machinery . In Scotland an attempt has been made to crush the Unions and spirits of the wealth-producing classes , by the persecution , trial , and sentence of seven years transportation of five Cotton-spinners , for no offence committed by them , but , because they were the principal office-bearers , or directors , of the association of which they were members .

      To remove the strong feeling produced by the miireprt-sentatives of the truckling , hireling press , against Trades Unions in geueral , and the unfortunate Cotton-spinners in particular ; and to induce the working classes to liquidate the debt incurred by the Committee of Trades Delegates in Glasgow , for defending the rights of labour , and to obtain a rts mission of the sentence of transportation , we were sent to London to represent the matter to such of the representatives ol the people as we could find willing to take up the ca ^ f and represent it in both Houses of Parliament ; and we are happy to inform you , that in Lord Brougham and Thomas Wakley , Esq ., Member for Finsbury , we have found willing and powerful advocates , and we do now fully anticipatethat their efforts will have the effect of soon sending the condemned spinners to their now dis consolate -wives , helpless children , and sorrowinc friends . 3

      ^ A Parliamentary Committee of Enquiryinto the Unions of Employers and Workmen has arisen out of tbe case , which , tr

      Trades Unions should every" -where fimrisli tlie Committee with evidence on their behalf . They should at once fix upon , say two or three of their companions who may be best qualified to give evidence befoia , fte ^ Comnuttee r . ^ vd if I ant in due time furnished witn"thV * iram * es an d ~ addresses of the parties , I doubt not that whan the enquiry reaches the town of which they are inhabitanti , I shall be enabled to procure an order for tteir attendance on the Committee , when , on being duly snmmoned , they will , of conrse , be paid " - ' all necessarj- exppnee * . The sooner the witnesses are selected by the Trades the better , they will be enabled to prepare their minds for the examination which they will have to undergo . Persons of clear and distinct knowledge , and of firm nerves , will , of course , be most fitted for selection . "

      The London Trades have already nobly responded to this call , and have taken rooms , and appointed a secretary , and attorney to conduct the enquiry , and give such information to thettYades throughout tlie country as they may require on this nnportsmt business , addressed to William Lovett , Trades Combination Office , 4 , Br idgeitreet , Westminster . . Before closing this address , we cannot but excess our heartfelt-gratitude , for the reception we lave experienced during our mission from the Committee of the London Trades , from the various public and Tradw meetings we had tlie pleasure of addres-sing every where . \ Ve must also express our

      respect to the \\ orkmg Men ' s Associations of London , Bath , Bristol ; and Leeds , and to the Radical Association of Dewsbury , not forgetting the Socialists of Birmingham , " . Bristol , and Hnddersfield ; and in a particular manner vre tetnrn onr sincere thanks to Richard Oastler , Feargus O'Connor , and the Rev . Mr . Stephens , of Ashton , for their unwearied patriotism in the cause ol the Cotton Spinners , and the working classes in general ; and although last , not least , our unbounded thanks are due to tlie cotton spinners of Manchester , and every other individual who may have responded to our call .

      TO THE EDITORS OF THE NORTHERN STAR . Gentlemen , —Inyour paper of last week there is a letter from Mossley , and signed "John Walker , " detailing the formation of a Working Man ' s Association in that village , and stating that its members are making themselves acquainted with their rights , privileges , and duties , as citizens . Had the letter concluded here , I should not have troubled you vrith any remarks of mine ; but the latter part of that communication contained the most unwarrantable abuse . It heaps reproaches and hard names upon the inhabitants of this village generally , and upon hundreds of uorking men in particular , —^ working men who are equally as respectable , intelligent , social , and virtuons , as tlie writer of that letter : but

      > ecause they do not think as he thinks , and Act as he acts , for these sins against his dictatorial cower , they are branded as "Not worthy the name of men " —" not ntto be associated with , "—" unsocial fellows , "—>• would be thought pious things , who use their influence to stop the progress of morality , "" the worst and deadliest foes to the spread of knowledge , wisdom , virtue , and happiness . " Gentlemen , believing the above quotations to be the sentiments of the writer individually , and not of the Association with which he is connected ,. I beg to state that they contain a gross falsehood , and pour unmerited reproach upon the characters of the working men of this neighbourhood . The writer ofthe above abusive statements ought to associate himself a little more with , charity , truth , fair dealing , and good citizenship ; he ought to make himself still more acquainted with the rights , privileges , and duties of himiself and others , before he

      sets himself as & pattern of excellence , and exclaims , " You are not men , I will not associate with you . " I do not object to working men associating for mutual protection , conversation , improvement , and moraticy , to obtain a knowledge of their position , rights , and duties ; on the contrary , at proper times , and on proper days , I think they oughj ^ to do . But , gentlemen , I do object to the working classes of this neighbourhood being identified with the outrageous sentiments contained in the letter of John Walker , and were it not that they possess more charity and candour than he does , they would throw back upon himself , with indignation , the sentiments which his letter contains . -She great body of working men here have learned to think , and let think , and I trust they will never be so deluded as to follow one . who is so uncharitable m hit views , and who has proved himself , in his first letter to you , so unworthy to be Iheir guide .

      Yours , < fcc . - ' -- ' . ' JAMES ROBINSON Mossley , Feb . 28 , 1838 .

      : MARY GRASSBY . . TO THE EDITOR OK THE GLOBK . Sir—You have made a false , unfounded , and uupro voked attack upon mn and my liusband , evidently consequent upon the female public meeting lately held at Elland , from which I had expected my eex and the cause of lvvnnanity , that I , with my neighbours attempting to support j would have saved me . Had you confined yourself to " ¦ sound argument , instead of the invtJctivie and personal attack into which yourparrteanship has eridentiy led you , I should not have considered it necessary to . attempt any defence , because nothing would have been charged requiring it . You sav that iMrih Grassby was still more magniloquent . ' Now Sir , hear what the 300 oi saith

      JK uoa , ' : Who Imth made man ' s mouth , or who maketh the dumb or deaf , the seeing or the blind ; have not I ,-saith the Lord ? " ; You say , ' Fancy the good Lord Spencer , or . Mr . Sehibf oaee , master in Chancery , sent from amidst bullocks and big wigs , to have their hair grown like eagles' feathers .. ' No matter , Sir , ; by whom / the ISew Poor Law Bill was concocted , Kbethey who they may , they have changed ; the truth of God into a j . lie , ^ and have wprehipVied the creature more tiuni the Creator , —nnd by this they have prpved thut they have not the fear of God before their eyes . \ ou say , " And all because Mrs . GrassbyVspouse , ff * - » re-a ^ -M ^ -7 /^ i- (» n t ; p > y ; hi 8 '; -y&y , 'V ' &c ; - - '' Sif , i nuuiu uuvise to not

      you "juage lestyebe judjfed . Carry not part y spirit so far as to infer evil while iu perfect ignorance . Such is perfectly unworthy of " a fjreat public instructor . " You go on to pity Grassby ,. and say , " Perhaps he lias taken -to drinking . " Be mari | y nexttimjeyou wisb . an impvession to be made—come from under your dastardly " perhaps , " and do it manttilly . This is the worst species of lying , and " all liars shall have their portion in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone . " Are you ignorant ofthe distinction between voluntary and involuntary separation ? ' If you are not , why speak ¦ ¦ ¦ of : -individual * that are separated , wluch do not come to tlie public iof gratis maintenance . ' It is true that oftentimes husband and

      wife separate , and I hiive felt deeply f or Queen Caroline and many others ; but surely you mil hot deny that because some do live separate voluntarily , that it would not be the less cruel or arbitrary to separate others who desire to liye tpgether . Remember that the word of God expressly declares , that " whomGod hath joined together , let no man put asunder ; ' ^ and , as the three Poor Law Cpmmissioner 3 have ordered separation , arid afterwards starvation , therefore they have proved , that they think themselves wiser than Gpd , and all who follow and support them ( yourself among _ the number ) must be infidels , and consider the-Bible only worthy of being trodden under your feet . I pity your case , and pray that you may be ; enlightened , aiid become mercifulereit

      , be too late ; and if yon are not , the Utobe will be brought into disgrace and conteitipt . 1 ou then go on to . a strange presumptive' question . . - Are all the people , " say you * « to pay rates that , forsooth , Mr . Grassby may lie at home at ease with Mrs . Grassby and the little Gra 8 sby 8 . "A » I feeL SQ must all your readers feel , the' utmost cpntemm lor so basej so degrading an intimatiori , and 1 am proud to say that instead of resting on the ratesj we . have always paid ; rates . I have a peitectngh ^ Sir , after such assumptions ph your part , to ^ say that you are a pensioner , brie thai has got a sop for the purpose of advocatirig the skiUy , toe gruel , the bastile , and the starvation system . Ypu lay yourself , and the Globe , toowith all- its

      , connections , opfti to every possible charge ; hay , even the Government whpm you support ; and when this is seen , which it soon must be , by a ^ diicerning public , it niust also injure the Globe .
