" Talk about Rights, you none of you have any Rights but
what the People let you have. A Title Deed is no Right if
the People'say it shan't be."—From a Speech delivered at the
Infant School, Huddersfield.
" Oh, we must have men who will fight up to the knees in
blood for the Ten Hour Bill. For perhaps we may have to
fight for it yet ; but mind take care that you don't begin until
you see me lead the way. I will tell you, however, how we
can beat them. If they will resist, I will teach every
.factory
child in the hingdont how to use a knitting needle among the
machinery. Oh, yes, I'll do for them. I'm to ling lessons
now to teach little children how to do more harm than good. This
is on condition—that they resist the law. lam resolved that
the laws of England shall triumph ever the factory monsters;
or that the factory monsters—shall breathe their last."—From
the Report of a Speech at BlacAburn; Sept. 15, 1836.
" I will, in that event, print a little card about Needles, and
Sand, and Rusty-nails, with proper, and with very explicit
directions. These cards of mine, shall then, be the catechism
of the Factory children,-1 will take .care to have every factory
child well instructed in the art of self-defence—and I will
make the Factory-master, who, in that day, will have success-
fully defied the law, bow to the Banner of the 4' Needle."—
From the raw or the Needle, P. 39.
" Read the Title of this book,—' The Law or the Needle;'
—perhaps you laugh at it ;—may be—you will change your
tone, when I publish The Dagger and the Torch,'—which I
shall not fear to do, if your pride and obstinacy, and cruelty,
and hypocrisy, make it needful.—From the Law or the Needles,
Page 30.
" Oh, yes, ye filthy, loathsome, slimy wretches, who have
driven the steel ot: anguish to the heart of England, with the
Hammer of Reform,' your day of sorrow and of anguish
drawcth near—their day of vengeance ! The steel and lead
which ye prepared for others, will soon be your reward. Pre-
pare your necks for Axes," and your hearts for ' Bullets.' "
From ditto, Page 32.

rents of Factory Children, Mill-owners, and to Magistrates.

SIR F. BURDETT'S PICTURE.

(From a Correspondent.)
A sporting tanner in Warwickshire was a strong admirer of Sir
Francis Burdett, at the time Sir Francis was confined in the
Tower in 1810 ; he was a subscriber to his portrait, and not
a little pleased %sith it ; he had it handsomely framed,
and hung in his dining room. Many sporting noblemen
and gentlemen, whO used to honour him with a call, have, on
seeing the portrait of Sir Francis, turned on their heel, and
moved towards the fire. About four or five years since he
became suspicious of a change in Sir F.'s politics. So satisfied
was he, that about twelve months ago he put the portrait of Lord
John Russell in his place, in the same frame. Soon afterwards,
having a few friends to dinner, one said " Hallo whit have
you done with your old friend Sir Francis?" Reaching the
portrait of Lord John Russell down, he said, " Here he is ;
when he turned his both on the people, , I turned his face
to the wall." So disgusted was he with Sir Francis's change
in politics, that he had his portrait pasted at the back of Lord John
Russell's, with his face to the wall ; and there it is likely to remain.

Fln connection with the above we may remark that the painter
of the celebrated painting designed to commemorate the. Royal As-
sent being given to the Reform Bill, seems to have had a presenti-
ment in grouping the most prominent equivocal characters. In the
foreground he places Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, and ,Sir
Franc:3 Burdett, close together, with this remarkable cir-
cumstance, that Sir Francis has his back turned upon the
public. There he stands, with bald head, in his favourite frock
coat, and top boots, a true picture 'Of his future character, with his
back turned on himself—and no Mistake. The painter had evi-
dently an eye to " coming events," by classing the three renegades
together, well judging that the late Member for Westminster.
would b.! better recognised by posterity 133 his back than his face. The
likeness is true to life, and ought to be seen by all honest Re-
formers. It will immortalize the painter, who ought to show him-
self and his picture on the hustings next Wednesday. There is a
capital print to be seen in the shop windows.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

VICE CIL-1 NCELL ()R'S COURT, 111.41-

TAYLon V. IiCNDELL,

This cause, in which the creditors of the late Duke of York are
in effect the claimants, came on hr special qppointnicnt. this morn-
irg. The only question wns. whether a grant from the Crown of
all minerals-in the province of Nova Scotia,, comprised tnincrals in
the Island of Cape Breton, which is nor a county of the province.
Mr. KNIGHT appeared for the plaintiffs, fir Herbert T:zylor and
Sir Berjamin Stephenson, the executors of the Duke. The defen-
dants, Meslirs. Minded and Bridge, were lessees of the Duke, and
the Attorney-General was a party to represent the interests of the
Crown. The bill prayed an account of the renders of the mines in
question and an incidental declaration of the rights of the executors.
After hearing Counsel at great length,

.„ . ._. .
The VicE-CtrA NC EI. LO2. , %% ithout calling for a reply, said tliere
must be the usual decree for an account. It was generally rumoured
that the result of this decision would give the creditors of his
Royal Highness 20s. in the found.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH.--3h r 3.

THE KING V. ROSS AND NIGHTINGALE.

Th!s was an information against the defendants for. having pub-
lished a libel of and concerning Mr. Lawrence, a highly respect-
able gentleman, a rragistrate of the county of Lancaster. The de-
fendants were the editor and publisher of the Liverpool Chronicle,
and they were convicted at the last assizes for Lancashire. They
were new brorght up for judgment. They put in affidavits a-
sertinn
'that as seen as they were informed the paragraph was - e.
un-
true, they had made inquiries, anti finding it to be so had made
every possible apology and retraction, and now by their counsel
they desired to say that Arr. Lawrence went out of Court without
the slightest imputation on his characer. -
The COURT, taking all the' circumstances of the case into con-
sideration, and especially the conduct of the defendants in retracting
the imputation, sentenced Mr. Floss to be imprisoned at Kirtcn, in
Lancashire, for two calendar months,to pay a fine of 501. to the
King, and to be further imprisoned till that fine was paid ; and as
the editor had thus been punished, the Court sentenced Mr. Night-
ingale to a less punishment, and sentenced him to pay a fine of 201.
to the King, and to be imprisoned in the custody of the Marshal of
the Marshalsea till such film was paid. Both the fines were paid
immediately.
