the settlement which had been made upon the occasion to
which he referred. None of the manufacturers had en-
deavoured to disturb the bill of 1850, or to interfere with
its operation in any respect whatsoever. And now ho
would ask if it were not better to leave in operation the
bill fixing the period of working at 60 hours a week, than
to endeavour to obtain a measure fixing that time at 58
hours, and by that endeavour, which might or might not
be successful, to disturb all that harmony which at the
present moment happily existed upon the question between
the capitalists and the employed? In his opinion, any per-
son who looked upon the subject devoid of the feelings of a
partisan, must feel that it was infinitely better to leave the
question as it stood than again to light up the fire of dis-
cord iu the manufacturing districts. But the hon. gentle-
man the member for Oldham had put forward another pro-
position, to the effect that the steam-engines should be
s'opped at a certain hour in the evening, so that not even
a grown man should be enabled to work beyond that hour.
1,,T,e.V, there were many cases in which different trades were
carried on in the same manufactory, and many instances
in which the machinery in a particular portion of such
manufactory was worked entirely by adult 1.13C11, and, so far
as he could see, the hoe. member for Oldham had made
out no case why they should fix a certain hour beyond
which a class which embraced thousands should not be per-
mitted to, work. (Hear.) There were many cases in which, in
consequence of the decrease of demand in the Australian,
the American, and the home markets, the adults in those
factories did not work longer than six hours in the day,
and it certainly could not be deemed an act of paternal
legislation to prevent those men from contributing, as far
as possible, to the support of their families. (Hear, hear.)
For his own part, he regarded both the propositions of the
hon. member for Oldham as highly objectionable. He was
himself prepared to assert that, so far as the employers were
concerned, they were disposed to pay the utmost obedience
to the law a.s it stood, and ho did not think that the
slightest service could be done by re-opening the question.
Mr. E. BALL said the house ought not to hesitate to
take into its consider ation a question which intimately
concerned the well-being of numbers of the poorer classes
in the community. To do so would be an insult to the
poor, a disgrace to the country, and would cast a stigma
upon the house itself. (Hear, hear.)
Lord PALMERSTON said that one of the many grounds
upon which the house was asked to accede to the motion of
the hon. member for Oldham was, that the law relating to
labour in factories, as it at present stood, was grossly vio-
lated. It had been his duty when Secretary of State for
the Home Department to watch the . enforcement of that
law, and he was bound to say, that although many trifling
infractions of it took place, yet those infractions were but
trifling, and that its observance was strictly looked after
by the inspectors. Now, in what did the violations of the
law of which hon. members complained consist ? In the
circumstance that the steam-engines were set to work five
minutes too soon in the morning, or were kept at work
five minutes too long in the evening, and that in that
manlier little odds and ends of time were illegally
gained by the employers. Now, he did not mean to say
that those minutes did not constitute time unduly gained
by those parties, but he maintained that the infractions
referred to did not involve such a violation of the
existing law as to render it necessary that the proposed
alteration in that law should take place. In his opinion
there was a very wide distinction between restricting the,
hours of labour in 'the case of young. women and children, ,
and restricting the time daring which adult men should be
employed. The principle upon which the Legislature- bad ,
acted was, that it was desirable to step in to the aid of
those who, in consequence of their age or condition, could
not be regarded as entirely free agents, and to restrict their
hours of labour. But in the case of adult men, who were
perfectly competent to judge for themselves, there could
be no more vicious principle adopted than that which pro-
posed that Parliament should. interfere between the la-
bourer and. the capitalist—between the employer and the
employed. (Hear.) When Parliament had come to a
settlement of a great question, involving the interests and
feelings of large classes, and a system had become estab-
lished, founded upon such arrangement, it was unwise to
disturb it, unless on stronger grounds than existed in this
case. Ho therefore should vote against the introduction
of the bill, objecting to it as he did, not in its detail only,
but upon principle.
Mr. COBBETT utterly denied the allegation of any
" compromise" or " settlement" of the question by the mea-
sure of 1850, to which the working classes not only did not
assent, but actually and positively objected. The hon.
member here read a minute of the committed of working
men, May 8, 1850, repudiating Lord Ashley's bill. (Hear,
hear.) It was the masters, not the mer, who had accepted I
that measure as a " compromise" or "settlement," and
even they had presented a petition to the house against it
at the time, so that it had never been adopted on either
side. There had been a memorial to the Home-office
against the bill froth all classes of society—clergy and laity,
gentry and artisans—strongly objecting to the. addition of
the two hours to the week's work. The workmen neveL
could find out who had entered into the " compromise"
with the Government, and Lord Derby had in the other
house asked the question as to the parties who had pro-
fessed to enter into it—(hear)—but could get no reply.
(Hear, hear.) It was curious that on the 12th of June,
1852, the hon. member for Manchester (Mr. Bright), at a
meeting of his constituents, stated that he had entered into
the compromise with Lord Ashley. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BRIGHT desired to explsin. He never meant to
assert that any express compromise had been entered into.
He had merely meant to say that he had acquiesced in the
arrangement.
Mr. COBBETT—The lion. member spoke so positively
as to a " compromise," that it was strange he should now
repudiate all knowledge of it—(bear) —but as the hon.
member seemed now to shrink from the statement that
there had been a compromise on the part of the workpeop'e
ho (Mr. Cobbett) ventured distinctly, to state .that there
had been none. (Hear, hear.) As to the restriction on the
waive power, it had been the opinion of many persons
competent to judge, that uo measure could be effective
without it ; but he would accept a ten hours bill without
it—(hoar)—and it was purely matter of detail. (Hear,
hear.) The lion. member for Manchester had ale ays curl-
tended that to restrict the hours of labour for children and
women would be to stop the mills as to adults. If that
werb so then there could be no harm in doing so directly.
(Hear.) As to the renewal of agitation and animosity
he
saw no occasion for it, and if the hon. member forMo an-
chester would abstain from such a course as tended_ea r'

With
