aimed also upon that understandicg. They, however,
were short of coals in the dockyard, and it was of
Importance that the Eagle should be unloaded at once. Mr.
Yearn, the superintendent of the yard, induced the muter
to comsat to go alongside to unload at the wharf by offering
him 61. a ton extra, In attempting to get alongside, the
Eagle took the ground and was severely damaged. The
plaintiff. sabsequiratly commenced this action against Mr.
Pears and, two subordinates who acted under him, and in
their doclaestioo alleged that the defeadente by falsely ie.
promoting that the vessel could safely proceed alongside the
wharf, induced the winter to courant that she should be

pleaded that he had been defraulei of the cheque by Nor-

offered 41 guineas for the horse, Norman should be negotiat-

the horse sound, and agreed to return the money if it should
not be approved of within the week. The deinadent then
handed over the cheque now sued on, and half en hoer after

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.
Sir R. W. Carden handed to our reporter the following
communication which had been addressedtohim in reference
to an application by some Yorkshire female Ma workers for
pecuniary eaaistanoe some weeks since, a report of what
took place on that occasion having appeared in oar columns.
" &mouses (Seine end Oise, France), Jan. 22,1839.
"To Sir R. W. Carden, magistrate, Mansion-hove, London.
"Sir,—Under the high-bounding title of "Shameful de-
ception of Leeds Sax workers," the misadventures of flea
factory women have been going the round of the Una sad
many other English newspapers for the lard three weeks.
These women applied to you, sir, at the Mansion-house for
the purpose of imploring your pity relative to the miefortunee
they had incurred in France, at • flax mill at Corbeil, their
return to England under the supposed protection of the
British ambassador, and at UM obtaining from your kind-
ness the means of getting back to their native town.
" This mill is our mill, sir, and we are the hard-hearted
manufacturers whom the story of these women and the
reports of your papers have denounced to universal indig-
nation.
" We beg to place the matter In its true light, so as to de-
stroy the false imputations brought out against our chars*.
ter, and to prove to yourself, sir, that you have bees shame-
fully Imposed upon.
Is September lot we sent to Holiest sad Leads an Eng-
lish manager, James Chappel, a native of Barnsley, lately
employed in our establishment, in order to Monks for a
dorm female flax workers. Ile was aware of our customs
and of the length of our working time (which le regulated by
a law in the whole of France). Jamas Chappel did
not try to deceive his countrywomen in executing
his errand. In oonaequenoe of hie proceedings and by a
written agreement, which la in our hands, not at all acoord-
Mg to men verbal sentrances, two sets of females, one of
five, the other of seven, arrived in Corbel We paid, of
coma, all the travelling mimeos (about 301.), and agreed
to employ them at the rate of Ba. 61. a week. The duration
of the agreement was not at all stated, but It was positively
written that the working hours would be the seam as for the
French hand..
. . . . .

We were not long in perceiving that we had boss grati-
fied with some of the worst amongst the working class of
Yorkshire. Having free lodgings in a house of oar own
OWNS to the mill, getting their food In the Eftlish we, by
the are of a respectable English woman (the widow den old
lastialt ovirlooker of ours, residing with us foe the lest 26
yams), end when ill attended by the doctor of the establish-
ment, they were, or at lesat ought to have been, in the best
possible condition. But worse in their manners, language,
and conduct, idle, insolent, and drunk half the time, they
were no guilty of each mislanmenonrs that the police; ware
obliged to interfere, end ens day Saw of them who had
been out for eight days were pat Into prison. We see la
their story to you, sir, they forget that episode of their tale.
When claimed by tte, end restored to their work after this
puoishment they behaved pretty well until the day when
the lot of the five, wishing, as they said to you, to free
themselves front such a hopeless state of thraldom, escaped
...thou( giving any notice, end we did not hear anything
more about them until the above-mentioned article, here
inllosed, was sent over to us by our English friends.
The other party of 7 remained in our mill, and is glad to
work with or, free from the oppresaive domination of these
blackguards in pettkosts.
"Now, we dare say it le meet probable the story of their
