Will you describe to the Committee the position in which the children stand to piece in a worsted mill, as it may serve to explain the number and severity of those cases of distortion which occur ? At the top of the spindle there is a fly goes across, and the child takes hold of the fly by the ball of his left hand, and he throws the left shoulder up and the right knee inward; he has the thread, to get with the right hand, and he has to stoop his head down to see what he is doing; they throw the right knee inward in that way, and all the children I have seen, that I could judge that are made cripples by the practice of piecening worsted, invariably bend in ( the right knee. I knew a family, the whole of whom were bent outwards as a family complaint, and one of those boys was sent to a worsted mill, and first he became straight in his right knee, and then he be came crooked in it the other way. Have you remarked that Cases of deformity are very common in Bradford ?—They are very com mon; I have the names and addresses of, I think, selfalro u t t h t a w t o ha h v u e nd a re ll d taken pa r ti cu l ar care not to put one s i ngle individual d fa e m for il t i n e e s d th c a h t i l ld h re a n v , e a v n i Cl ite l d h l ae down to whom it had happened by accident, but all of whom I judge to have been thrown crooked by the practice of piecening, and of throwing tip the right shoulder and of bending the right knee. Can you furnish the Committee with that docu ment ?---Yes I can ; I have it not with me, but I will write for it, and the Committee can send for any name that I have down. You have delivered to the Committee a statement of the total number of children employed in these mills, from which it appears that the total is two thousand ?—Rather better. Out of that number of children you have stated that about two hundred you yourself have found to be deformed ?—Yes. And perhaps you have not had an opportunity of knowing to the full extent the children that are in that situation ?—No, I never turned my attention to it till a few weeks ago. Is it not very likely that there may exist slighter cases of deformity among the female children, which you could not detect on account of their dress?— Yes, certainly. As you have had experience regarding mills, do not you believe that much of the chastisement that is inflicted upon children goes on in the after part of the day, when the children are exceedingly fa tigued ?—Yes, there seems to be a necessity to keep them up to their work when they are exceedingly exhausted; arid the engine, too, generally goes at a fatter speed than in the other part of the day, be cause the wool when warm works freer, and the oil is rendered thinner with the heat of the gas, and consequently the machinery runs lighter and better, and requires less power, and it goes faster, therefore, in the evening than in the other part of the day. You are aware, then, of the fact that the children are much beaten at the termination of the day ? Yes. (No. 12,591.)

ROLLS COURT, JAN. 16. Rent is organized, that every man in that parish who pays one shilling a year, should, of right, be enrolled a Volunteer of Ireland in his own parish. —(Hear.) I would require that he should produce the certificate of the clergyman to whose persuasion he belonged, that he was a man of moral character, and in the habit of attending the performance of his religious duties. If the clergyman should be ad verse to giving such a certificate, as some of the Protestant clergymen may he, then I would require the certificate of five of the neighbours upon this point.—(Hear.) I would want every man to pro duce a certificate of that kind, to be enrolled as a parochial Volunteer, upon the payment of one shil ling, and my object in having him so enrolled would be that he would aid in preventing the commissi on of crime in that parish—that he would aid in the execution of the law in every respect—that he would endeavour to prevent its violation —and that, above all things, he should prevent the formation of secret societies, and the commission of nocturnal outrages—that he would put down combinations of Blackfeet, Whitefeet, Terry Alts, Rockites, and all societies of that description.—(Hear, hear.) The present moment is one that is of awful impor tance to Ireland. The conduct of the Adminis tration, in enforcing tithes at the point of the bayo net, when a report was presented from the House of Commons, stating that they were in process of ex tinction—that conduct, though it has been successful in many parishes, has left behind it a feeling which, I am sorry to say, is but natural, and is one of vex ation and of resentment. When, in addition to this, we recollect the quantity of blood which has been shed on the question of tithes, we cannot wonder at these feelings being so excited. I read in the Pilot of last night an account of a tithe con flict, which was headed " The last tithe slaughter." Why, when the person was writing that, another might have been committed, and the talented editor might have been obliged to announce, " More last tithe slaughters."—( Hear, hear.) I remember, in speaking of the Wallstown affair, to have described it as the one I had last heard of, and I had scarcely time to be silent, when I was told of persons being shot some where e'se. Ido not now enter into the merits or demerits of those transactions. Ido not describe them as manslaughters, murders, or justi fiable homicides. This is not the place for describ ing them ; but the reformed Parliament shall be tried upon such points, and we shall know from them what is the value which they place upon Irish liberty and Irish blood.—(Hear, and cheers.) But this, however, is not the place for discussing such topics.—(Hear.) I have felt it to be my duty to make these prefatory observations to my motion; and I have now to state that for the last three or four days I have been informed that persons have gone down to the county Louth, who have a great deal of money at their command; that these per sons enrol young men at night, and, on their enrol (PRICE 7D.) FACTORIES LABOUR REGULATION NUGENT V. NUGENT. BILL. Mr. PEMBERTON appeared for the plaintiff in this case. Sir James Nugent, Bart., of Ireland, mar• vied a Spanish lady, the daughter of a Baron Ara bet. This Nobleman had been engaged in com mercial transactions in Spain, and a great deal of his property was involved in the concerns of the firm with which he was connected. He died in 1798, leaving three children and a wife. To the latter he bequeathed his property, with a recom mendation that she should, at her death, divide it equally amongst her children. She died intestate and each of the children became entitled to one- , third of the property. Afterwards one of these died, and her third was divided between the sur vivors, one of whom was Lady Regina, who after-; wards became Lady Nugent. Before the event of her marriage, however, the French invasion of Spain in 1 808 took place, and a great portion of her property was confiscated by the new Government. The marriage between her and Sir James Nugent occurred in 1810, and, by the settlemant then made, she conferred on him rights over all the property to which she was at that time en titled. When the national Government of Spain was restored, it determined to reimburse all those persons whose property had been unjustly confiscated in the previous unsettled times, and it ap pointed a cotnmission to that effect, which failed altogether in its objects. As British subjects had claims against Spain, under the head of the confis cation alluded to, our Government took up the sub ject, and succeeded in having a new British Com mission appointed to settle them. In effect, this Commission made an award in favour of Lady Nu gent, who, as the wife of Sir James, urged her suit as a British subject. Before this happened, how ever, a separation had taken place between her and her husband, and by the deed executed on that oc casion Sir James, in addition to an annuity of 1,0001., released to her a right to all property, funds, and accumulations, to which she might become entitled after that particular time. After this came the award of the Commission in her favour, to the amount of several thousand pounds, which were included under the Spanish name libranzas. Sir James Nugent, the plaintiff, claimed the sums thus allowed, as forming part of the property conferred on him by his marriage settlement, unaffected by the deed of separation.

What sort of a position do you stand in order to piece worsted goods P—lf we are higher than the frames we have to bend our bodies and our legs, so—(Here the witness showed the position in which he worked.) Have you always to bend your body ?—Yes, al ways. Were you a healthy and strong boy before you went to the mill ?—Yes. How long did you work at that mill for those long hours before you found your limbs begin to fail P—About a year. Did it come on with great pain P—lt did. In what part P—ln my legs and knees.

Did you get much less in height ?—Yes, I did. How tall are you P—l cannot exactly say how tall I am. after. , )n s nesrq ,lity 130 Mr. HALL was, with Mr. PEMBERTON, for the plaintiff. Mr. BICKERSTETII, for the defence, submitted to the Court, that as Lady Nugent had failed to re. cover her demands on the Spanish Government's. own Commission, but had subsequently recovered as a British subject, as the wife of Sir James Nugent, property so acquired by her could not have been contemplated at the time of her marriage, and, there fore, should not be deemed subject to the settlement. His HONOUR said that the decree should be in favour of the plaintiff; but as Lady Nugent had legitimately incurred the expenses of prosecuting the award they should be fully allowed to her. veral PBl Have you fallen several inches in height ?—Yes, several. we s6 ' 1 13e ...• S S. tO '29 5 39 40 40 4 0 36 i g 3'2 0 6 33 4; Will you have the goodness to show the Com mittee your limbs ?--(The witness did so, and they appeared to be excessively crooked.)

In your own factory ?—We certainly do beat the children in our own factory; but Mr. \%'ood will not allow it if he knows it. - Were there any other boys deformed in the same way 7—Yes, there were. How many ?—There was another going in the same way that I am, and there was another with one leg out and another in. , 275. S W 271. ss. . 04 . 1 :) 401. ~... A ' l t:W . DRAMATIC ANECDOTES. / .

This was an action by the holder of a bill of ex change accepted by a Mr. Gompertz, against an indorser. It was tried at the sittings after last term.

This was an action for clothes supplied to the defendant's son, who was a minor. It was tried at Guildhall, before Mr. Baron Vaughan, when the Jury found that the clothes were supplied on the credit of the eon, and not on that of the defendant, whereupon the Learned Judge directed a nonsuit, with leave to move to have a verdict entered for the plaintiff for such sum as the Court might think the defendant was liable to. Mr. POLLOCK moved for a rule to show cause why a verdict should not be entered for the plaintiff for the sum sued for.

(Abridged frnm the Dublin Morningßegister of Monday. Mr. O ' CONNELL rose amid loud cheers, and said —I now rise pursuant to the motion which I have already given of the general organization of the Volunteers Society throughout Ireland, to superin tend the collection of the national rent.—(Hear.) I have already referred to one of the objects for which that rent is required ; it is to make compen sation to the families of those persons who have been prosecuted for attending tithe meetings, and by these tithe meetings I mean to include all those meetings assembled to petition Parliament, and who have in any way been subjected to prosecutions. The next object is to defray the expense of peti tioning Parliament. The third object of the N. ►- tional Rent will be to defray the expense of com pleting the registry in every county in which the people have triumphed, and of increasing and super intending the registry in those counties in which the people have made no progress whatever. I de sire to have the Volunteers not only in every county, but in every parish in Ireland. If one period could be more awfully important than another for such objects, the present is the time in which we should take care to have these things done.—(Hear.) My plan is, that in every pariah in which the National meat, give them money, and that all that is required from them is, that they should turn out upon being required to do so. The first business in which those violators of the laws are engaged is to extort money from the farmers; the next will be to assail their dwelling-houses, and then their crimes will be ren dered complete by assassination and blood.—(Hear.) Such is the progress of Whiteboyism, and it is the duty of the Volunteers at once to put a stop to it. The system of Whiteboyism is not only in the county of Louth, but it is spreading, according to the best information which I have received, in the county of Kilkenny, and it is also again appearing in the county of Tipperary. I see in this but the natural result of the Anglesea and Stanley Admi nistration; it is as natural as that darkness should follow from the sun's decline.—(Hear.) The po lice, the infantry, the horse, and the artillery, and what is still more ludicrous, the marines, have been engaged in ransacking the farmers' yards--the hay and the corn, and the pigs, have been seized for the parson.—(Hear.) The correspondence of the pre sent Government would, I am sure, present many curious features. Its bulletins must be of a most glorious character, as to how it had conquered one parish, and giving a full return of the spoils it had obtained, such as Judy Murphy's petticoat, Paddy Nilligan's blanket, and little Thady Mulcahy's potat oe pot !—(Hear, hear, and loud laughter.) So ludi crous has been the tithe campaign, that in the south the marines engaged in it are known by no other name ti an the " pig marines."—( Hear, and laughter.) I am not deceived as to what is occurring in Louth and in Kilkenny. This very day I was informed that the same thing is occurring in the county of Tipperary, and that the same temptations are held out to the people to commit crime. Before one week a dozen other counties will be in the same state, unless we come forward and at once prevent it.—(Hear.) Ireland now is in a state of transition (tom being a province to be a nation ; she is entitled o be an untaxed nation; she should not have an internal tax; she is in that state that her debt is in significant compared with her resources; she is en titled to have a domestic Parliament; she should have secured to her the income of the country, and instead of its being transported to a foreign country, it should be spent among the people. Greater poli tical blessings were never in store for any country than for Ireland, when we shall have obtained a Repeal of the Union.—(Hear.) Never had men a prouder object before them than those who are acting wi h me for the Repeal of the Union.—(Hear, hear.) Compare our present prospects of success with what we had formerly. For three months the Catholic Association did not count more than thirty-five members; in three minutes the Volunteers of Ire land amounted to fifty members.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) In twelve months the Catholic Associa . Lion had not as many members as the Volunteers have enrolled in the second week of their operations, and before one month 1 expect that they will be ex tended throughout the country.—(Hear.) The greatest misfortune that could happen to us would, in my opinion, be a separation of England and Ire land, and there is only one misfortune that I should regard as still greater, that our misfortunes, our mi- series, and our - distresses should be continued under a baleful and withering Union.—(Hear, and cheers.) I do not then reply to the charge of being a separa tist; I despise the calumny, and I will not stoop to its refutation.—(Hear.) All I shall do is to caution the English press how they attack the people of this country. Long as I live, I shall be opposed to any measure of any description leading to separation. If we can but preserve the peace in Ireland, the re peal of the Union is as certain as that to-morrow's sun will arise. Repeal can alone be endangered by outrages upon life and property.--(Hear.) Who in the country could be opposed to Repeal, once he was convinced that life would be rendered more secure, and property increased in value; and is it not a fact that they would b e so f Th ere i s not a . _ _ foot of land in Dublin that would not treble in price the day the Repeal was carried—there is not an acre of land in Ireland that would not be proportion ably increased in value.—(Hear.) Let the entire country be unanimous for Repeal, and where is the power on earth that could prevent our having it ? The British Minister yielded to one portion of Ire !anti--what Minister could withstand all Ireland ? To-morrow, after my religious duties are performed, I will devote to an address to the people of Ireland, warning them against all illegal societies. Into that address I shall throw all my heart, my feelings, and whatever intellect I possess. My only fear is, that I shall fad from the greatness of my anxiety to do it well. I trust that God will inspire me with burning thoughts, and strong expressions, that they may be branded upon the minds of my countrymen, that they may induce them to restrain their passions, learn to avoid their enemies, to be peaceful, tranquil, and obedient to the law, and that thus they will Rive us an epportimity of seeing Ireland a nation again, and of having a Parliament of our own.— (Loud cheer's.) Mr. O'Connell concluded by mov ing for an address to the people, warning them against all illegal societies and nocturnal meetings whatsoever. Mr. FINN, M.P., and Mr. STEELE rose together, but Mr. Finn gave way to Mr. Steele, who, after expressing his obligation for the courtesy, spoke to the following effect :—Volunteers of Ireland, why is it that I am anxious to be the seconder of the resolution of O'Connell this evening 2 I will tell you—first, hear me for a moment—you all know that there are many places, for any of which I might he at this moment in Parliament if I would accept of representation—(Hear, hear, and great cheering) —but I refuse, because I know that I am more use ful to Ireland in Ireland than I could be if I were in the Imperial Parliament. Now, in what does my utility in Ireland principally consist, and from what is it derived ? Volunteers of Ireland, my paramount utility consists in this, that I am the principal in strume in the hands of the Liberator for the paci fication of the country ; a minister of pacification sent forth among the people by the pacificator. Now, I am a man fitted by nature for Irish agitation and for Irish pacification, for I have a spirit as high and haughty and fierce and burning as any other man who acts under the leadership of the father of his country; but while I utterly disdain and disclaim any recognition of superiority over me by any other created being, I do distinctly acknowledge his, and I therefore yield to him that voluntary moral fealty and allegiance, which lie uses as one of his instru ments in achieving his bloodless revolution in Ire land.—(Long-continued cheering.) Peace, unin terrupted tranquillity, is now indispensable for the regeneration of Ireland. Ido not offer my services because my leader knows that he can always com mand them, but I declare my readiness to go to any part of Ireland where it may he necessary to check the progress of this most inauspicious and baleful confederation of the infatuated peasantry.—(Cheers from all parts of the room.) Volunteers of Ireland, my words are things; and it May not be any harm that through the press the peasantry of Ireland should know what I said once in Clare. I said that if such a crisis were to arrive in consequence of any atrocious act of the Government, as that of Camden and Castlereagh in 1798, as that O'Connell should command us to have recourse to arms and blood and convulsion, instead of our usual constitu• tional warfare by which we had achieved such re splendent triumphs ; in that case, I would not order the Clare men to go into Cratloe Wood to cut down trees for pike handles, but that I would first send them to cut down the trees in my own domain of Lough O'Connell, and that I would, of course, myself not be idle, nor a mere looker on in the conflict. But, then, I told them at the same time, and solemnly impressed on them that so far was a course of this kind, or anything like it, from being expedient now, that any man who committed violence or outrage of any kind was the deadly enemy of Ireland—for the father of his country wanted to have Ireland, from one extremity to the other, in a state of the most perfect and un broken repose, in order to enable him to do his work in Parliament effectively for Ireland's regeneration and independence. (Mr. Steele sat down amidst enthusiastic cheering.) Mr. O'CONNELL--I approve of every thing said by Mr. Steele, except the pikes. We'll have no thing to do with pikes.—(Laughter.) Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice of a motion for the next day of meeting, that three Volunteers should be appointed for each county, to ascertain how many parishes in each—how many are disposed to join the Volunteers—to hold parish meetings, and to subscribe to the Volunteer fund. The meeting then separated. THE MARKETS. COAL MAR Per Ton. s. d.

Have you any brothers and sisters that work in the same mill ?—Yes,l have two brothers and sisters that work in it at present. Have they suffered in the same way ?—No ; I have a brother that was working at a mill that was going the same way, Do you mean was becoming deformed ?—Yes; but he recovered after he left. Can you write ?—No, I cannot. Had you any opportunity of learning to write 1 •No. Can you read ?—Some little ; but very poorly. When your legs got bad did they shorten your hours P—No, I worked all the same hours. You never worked shorter hours than the rest ? —No, I did not. Did you ever complain to the master or over looker that you were in a bad stare of health ? Sometimes I was bad, and was forced to go home. Did they ever send the doctor to you ?—No. Do they make you any allowance now ?—No. _ . Are you quite sure that the pain in your limbs and this grievous deformity have resulted from your long labour ?—Yes, it did. Is that the opinion of your father and your riends?—Yes, it is. And of all the medical men that you have seen .Yes. Can you stand at all without crutches ?—Not with out crutches or a stick, or something to lean against. Can you walk at all ?—No. Can you get up stairs ?—Perhaps I might creep up. Must it be upon your hands and knees ?—Yes, or backwards way. Do you get up stairs backwards way ?—Yes, every night. Mr. JOHN HALL'S Examination (Abridged). Do you live at Bradford ?—Yes. Are you the overlooker of Mr. John Wood, unior ?—I am. Engaged in superintending the spinning of worsted ?—Yes. Is there very particular attention paid to the cleanliness and ventilation of your works ? Very particular attention. Are the children employed in your establishment constantly visited by a medical gentleman ? They are. Are they examined individually ?—Yes ; the medical gentleman comes and asks all the overlook. era how their hands are, and how many there are that are unwell, and if they have any fresh cases to mention. If any children are ill, does Mr. Wood send them to the Dispensary to be cured at the public cost, or is he at the expense of obtaining medical assistance for them ?—We have authority from Mr. Wood to send them to Dr. Sharp ourselves; they all go to Dr. Sharp, and Mr. Wood pays the expense of me dical attendance. Which in the course of a year,in an establishment of that sort, is very considerable, is not it ?—lt amounts, I should think, to some hundreds of pounds annually. Has Mr. Wood sometimes sent the children he employs to Buxton or elsewhere, for the benefit of the baths ?—I do not know where the place is that he has sent them to, but I know that he has sent them off many a time. When they have become poorly I ) —Yes ; he as sent them to watering-places for the recovery of their health. Have you any baths in the works ?—We have cold and warm baths now on the premises for the use of the persons employed in the manufactories. Does Mr. Wood keep a larger number of children to do the same work than is usual In the worsted business ?—Yes, he does. Do you think he does that because be conceives the labour of the children to be too severe ?—Yes, I have no doubt of it. Now will you state to the Committee whether, with all this care and attention, you find that the children can endure the labour you have been de scribing without injury?—No; I believe they do not endure it without injury. Do you select healthy children whom to take into your mills 7—Yes. When your fresh hands have been employed for some length of time, do you see any alteration in their appearance ? 7 , --Yes, I think I can see a marked How many hours do you think the children could labour without hurting their health ?—I am sure I think eight or ten plenty. What do you think is the utmost time a child could labour, consistent with its health think if they are ever so well treated they should not work above ten hours. Have you had many instances of deformity in your own mill ?—We have had some. But not so many as in those mills where they have laboured a greater length of time ?—No. Will you have the goodness to state out of those 450 children how many have been absent at one time from sickness ?—I have known forty-nine absent at one time. Is there not a great deficiency of education in your town and neighbourhood in consequence of the peseta system ?—Yes. ELIZEBETII BENTLEY'S Examination. What age are you ?—Twenty-three. Where do you live ?—At Leeds. What time did you begin to work at a factory ?_ When I was six years old. At whose factory did you work ?—At Mr. Bu,k's. What kind of mill is it ?—Flax-mill. What was your business in that mill 2-1 was a tle doffer. What were your hours of labour in that mill ? From five in the morning till nine at night, when they were thronged. For how long a time together have you worked that excessive length of time ?—About half a year. What were your usual hours of labour when you were not so thronged ?—From six in the morning till seven at night. What time was allowed for your meals ?—Forty minutes at noon. Had you any time to get your breakfast or drink ing ?—No, we got it as we could. And when your work was had you had hardly any time to eat at all ?—No, we were obliged to leave it or take it home, and, when we did not take it, the overlooker took it and gave it to his pigs. Do you consider doffing a laborious employ ment ? Yes. Explain what it is you had to do ?—When the frames are full they have to atop the frames, and take the flyers off, and take the bobbins off and carry them to the roller, and then put empty ones on, and set the f rame go i ng aga i n. Does that keep you constantly on your feet ? Yes, there are so many f rames , an d t h ey run so quick. Vour labour is very excessive?--Yes; we have no time for anything. Suppose you flagged a little, or were too late, what would they do ?—Strap us. Are they in the habit of strapping those who are last in doffing ?—Yes. Constantly ?—Yes. Girls as well as boys ?—Yes. Have you ever been strapped ?—Yes. Severely ?—Yes. Is the strap used so as to hurt you excessively? —Yes, it is. Were you strapped if you were too much fa tigued to keep up with the machinery ?—Yes ; the overlooker I was under was a very severe man, and when we have been fatigued and worn out, and had not baskets to put the bobbins in, we used to put them in the window-bottoms, and that broke the panes sometimes, and I broke one one time, and the overlooker strapped me on the arm, and it rose a blister, and I ran hom e t o m y mot h er. • • • • • • * • The carding-room i s more oppress i ve than the spinning department ?—Yes; it is so dusty they cannot see each other for dust. Is it on that account they are allowed a relaxation of those few minutes ?—Yes; the cards get so soon filled up with waste and dirt they are obliged to stop them, or they would take fire. There is a convenience in that stoppage ?—Yes, it is as much for their benefit as for the working people. When it was not necessary no such indulgence was allowed ?—No. Never ?—No. Were the children beat up to their labour there ? —Yes. With what ?—A st ra p. I ' have seen the over looker go to the top end of the room, where the little girls hug the can to the backminders. He has taken a strap, and a whistle in hia mouth, and sometimes he has got a chain and chained them, and strapped them all down the room. All the children?—No,only'r hose bugging the cans. What was his reason for that 2—He was angry. Had the children committed any fault ?--They were too slow. Were the children excessively fatigued at the me ?—Yes; it was in the afterpoon.
