A deputation from the factory operatives of the
annufacturleg diarict of Lance-hire bad an interview with
Sir 0. C. Lewis, on Teanday, at its Home-office, on the
subject of more 'Molest isepertion of lecterns. The de-
notation conseted of Moos. Thomas Maudaley and P.
Uraut, of Manchester, and were accompanied by the Eder' of
Shaftesbury, Messrs. Linsley, M.P., J. A. Turner, M.P.,
the Hon. A, Egerton, M.P., J. Cobbett, M.P., sad W.
J. Legit, M.P.
Mr. BACLOY, in introducing the deputation, said, that he
was glad to Sail that their object was not to mak fur new
legislation, but simply to ask the Home Secretary to affird
the means of more efficient inspection in order to put down
violations of the law which no doubt prevailed is many of
the out districts. So far as that wee concerned he fully con-
coned with the TWOS of the deputation, end hoped that the
Home Secretary would give his attention to what would
be said on the subject. He also said that there never
wea • tints at which ouch a good feeling existed between
master sad mac, end he believed that • large number of the
e toployers of labour were meiotic that the provinces of the
present bill should be gelidly übaerved by all c ineerned; and
be added, that in teeny cases the operatives were not free
from their dime of 'biome, in conniving at the violence=
which were goiag on.
Mr. T. Mao cater then read one of a number et memo-
rials on the striew, after which he said that, although three
memorials suggested some new point of legislation, neither
he nue those whom he represented were prove/eel to open the
question again in parliament ; all that was wanted was, that
the present law should be fully and fairly enforced. As re-
garded the violation+ of the law, be rossidered it Ma duty
strusgly to impress opus the mind of the Home Secretary
that they weraon the increase; he believed chiefly owing to
the weal of peeper insperios, as was evidenced by theta*,
that dace the removal of Mr. Graham from the Manchester
district and the appointment of Mr. Coles in Ws place, the
law had been much lathe obeervid.
Mr. Owls raid that he quite concurred with what had
been add by Um previous spieler, and that he would be no
party =sew legnistion at Fewest. It wee, he behaved, the
duty of as Hostrottice to KO, %bat the intentions of parlia-
ment ibis it pee= the sot should be fairly curried out,
and tf it wens head that the Home Secretary had not ea-
dent pow= to sofa= the law, then, and not till then, should
farther legislation be sought for.
Mr. J. A. TV ON YR said that be was not prepared to
ice egos heather penaliire, but se far as the carrying oat of
the pesos= set was concerned he wee quits willing to lend
his mestance.
Mr. COB nary followed, sad observed that he did not en-
dray arcs with the ets of the deputetion ;be thought
Vl= new legislation yea necessary, sad would not bend him-
self down se to Ms future course. However, es It appeared
that the full earning out of the present act would bo 'stir
factory to a large number of the workmen, be would fee the
pretest seats= himself by urging on the Horoo.ooce the
import's= of complying with the very isaiionable =gurus
at the deputation.
The Let of SIIATTROBURT said be quits agreed with
what bad been said on the subject of tardier legislation,
which at resist ought to be avoided, bad strongly ceerobo-
wad that sesesiest made by lir. Staley as to the improved
Mss of lealing Wines the employees sod the employed.
