BLEACHING AND DYEING WORKS BILL,

The following a more extended report of the latter part
of the debate than appeared in The Sun of last evening :
Lord J. MANNERS said that when the bill of 1855 was
before the house it was proposed to put the bleachers under
the Print Works Act. It was said, however, that they
ought to be under a bill framed upon the Factory Act. Now
it was proposed to legislate for the bleachers by a special
act Parliament was told that they ought to be put under
the Print "Works Act. (Hear, hear.) The object of the
hon. member for Manchester, if the house might judge
from his speech, clearly was, not to discuss the clauses of
the bill, but to reopen the whole controversy. (Cheers.)
What was the reason alleged for referring the bill to a se-
lect committee ? That some of the master bleachers felt
themselves aggrieved by the statements made about them,
and they therefore craved an investigation. If the house
assented to the proposition of the hon. gentleman on
the grounds stated by him they would reopen the whole
question, and plunge the unfortunate select com-
mittee in a dreary task like that which ha and
other members were engaged in for a whole year, which
re'ulted in the three great blue-books he held in his hand.
(A laugh.) If the committee were granted members must
make up their minds to shelve the bill for the present ses-
sion. (Cheers.) The principle of the bill, however, had
been affirmed by an overwhelming majority—(hear)--and
it was not fair either to get rid of it orpostpone it under the
guise of referring, not the measure itself, but the whole of
the statements made in reference to the bill to a select com-
mittee. (Hear.) Let the house, if it thought fit, appoint
a select committee with the special view of rehabilitating
the character of any of the master bleachers who complained
of misstatements; but let the bill go through committee
without any unnecessary delay. (Hear.) He felt convinced
that the house would only lower itself in the eyes and af-
fections of the working classes if they entertained the pre-
posal of the hon. member for Manchester. (Cheers.) That
hon. gentleman, in the face of the laborious investigation
to which he had just referred, implored the house not to
legislate hastily. Manchester had the character of not
being very slow in regard to legislation, and if the hon.
member for Manchester thought that to legislate on this
subject now would be to legislate hastily, could the hon.
member ever ask the house to legislate at all ? (Hear.) The
matter had already undergone a thorough, minute, and la-
borious investigation ; it was now ripe for legislation, and
he trusted that the house would go into committee and pass
this bill. (Cheers.)
Sir J. GRAHAM was sorry to be once more involved in

a short-time discussion. He had, however, a confession to
make to the house. On a former occasion, after hearing a
speech from the hon. and learned gentleman the member
for Sheffield, he voted with the majority in favour of the
second reading of the present bill. Having given that vote
nothing should induce him to take a course which should
have the effect of shelving for the present session a measure

461 it

the second reading of which he had frankly supported.
(Cheers.) He had said he had a confession to make. Ex-
perience had shown to his satisfaction that many of the pi e-
dictions formerly made against the Factory Bill had not
been verified by the result, and that, on the whole, that
measure had contributed to the comfort and wellbeing of
the working classes, while it had not materially injured the
masters. That was the conclusion at which he had arrived.
(Cheers.) He still, however, maintained the opinion that
there were many material and necessary distinctions between
bleaching and dyeing and other works which required to be
considered. In 1815 he resisted the extension of the short-
time provisions to print works and bleaching and dyeing
works. The Legislature then extended the short-time pro-
vision to print works, but recognised the distinction between
print works and the great manufacturers of cotton, wool,
&c. Hitherto the Legislature had not thought fit to extend
the short-time provision to bleaching and dyeing works.
The house would of course take care that in dealing with
such important interests, while on the one hand they did
not disregard the welfare and comfort of the employed, they
would not on the other hand forget the rights of capital and
the interests of trade. (Hear.) There was a great distinc-
tion which must be borne in mind between bleaching and
dyeing as carried on in different parts of the country. Pro-
visions that were applicable to bleaching and dyeing in Eng-
land were not applicable to Ireland, and only partially ap -
plicable to Scotland. In one part of Scotland, for example,
bleaching and dyeing were strictly analogous to the same
process in Ireland, where it was carried on in the open air
and by the natural process of water only ; whereas in Eng-
land and in some parts of Scotland and Ireland it was car-
ried on by chemical process and in rooms of a high tempera-
ture. All these facts were intimately connected with the
health and comfort of the workmen and the interests of the
capitalists, and required careful discrimination and attention.
(Hear.) On the whole, he was of opinion that it would be
wise to refer the bill to a select committee ; not, however,
for the purpose of shelving it or renewing the whole in-
quiry, as the noble lord (Lord J. Manners) predicted. With
regard to the inquiry that had already taken place by a
select committee, he must remind the house that the result

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT--( THIS" DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Baron Channell and Justice Keating.)
THE CASE OF THE REV. IdR. HATCH.

This extraordinary trial was resumed this morning. The
first witness examined was
Lucy Harriet Hatch, a very pretty little girl about eight
years of age, the adopted child of Mr. and Mrs. Hatch.
She said she used to call Mr. and Mrs. Hatch papa and
mamma. She said she recollected Eugenie Plummer being
brought to Wandsworth, by her mother and father. In
answer to questions put to her by the learned counsel, she
most positively denied the charge that any impropriety ever
took place. That she did not go into the garden at all on
the evening the first act of indecency was said to be com-
mitted. Miss Howe, the governess, came on the 11th August,
and Eugenie Plummer commenced her studies with her
(witness) on the following Monday in her papa's study,
which was afterwards turned into a school-room. The
school hours were from nine to twelve, :and. from two
till four.

The witness was severely cross-examined by Mr. Ser-
geant ghee in a most kind manner, butnothing contradict-
ing her evidence in chief was elicited. She entirely
refuted the statements made by Eugenie Plummer, of
acts of indecency having been committed on her by Mr.
Hatch.
Mr. Holt, the attorney, for the prosecution, said he was
not concerned for Mr. Hatch in the last prosecution;
he took the evidence of Lucy Hatch alone. No person was

present to interfere. After he had taken her evidence down
he read it over to Mrs. Hatch and Mrs. Dillon, and he only
did so on account of her tender age; so as to prevent any
mistake, he had been furnished with her evidence before
the magistrate and in the counsel's brief, but he took her
evidence entirely from her own narrative.
By Mr. Sergeant Shee—He took it down with a view of
making a statutory declaration, to be submitted to the Sec-
retary of State. In the course of conversation the Secre-
tary of State said the only course open was an indictment
for perjury, and the present indictment was preferred.
By Mr. E. James—There was no other course left open
to Mr. Hatch, as there was no appeal from a former con-
viction.

Mr. Lewis, solicitor, of Ely-place, deposed that he con:
ducted the defence for Mr. Hatch at his trial. Witnesses
were in attendance to be examined on his behalf at the dis-
cretion of the learned counsel engaged for his defence.
Mrs. Dillon, the mother of Mrs. Hatch, was next exa-
mined. She stated that from the position she was in at the
window she could have seen any impropriety if it had
taken place. Nothing of the sort ever took place. She must
have seen it if it had. She was also present at dinner when
Mrs. Plummer requested that her daughter might be petted.
she recollected the 25th of August, when Mrs. Plummer
brought the other child Stephanie. They came about the
same time as before, and remained as long as she did on the
first occasion. The child Eugenie had plenty of opportu-
nities of communicating with her mother. She certainly
was never prevented. Mrs. Plummer left her other daughter,
Stephanie. Miss Plummer, during the time she remained at
Mr. Hatch's house, had plenty of opportunities of commu-
nicating with her mother in private.
Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—Knew there was
something affecting the character of Mr. Hatch after the
children had left, but did not know what it really was until

six weeks after the children had been removed. It was
not until after Mr. Hatch had gone to Poplar
that witness knew he had resigned his appoint-
ment. Never heard that in consequence of that
resignation no inquiry into the charges made against Mr.
Hatch by the Plummers would take place. It was at the
request of Mrs. Plummer that the child was taken into Mr.
and Mrs. Hatch's bed. This conversation took place in
the drawing-room before dinner. Mrs. Plummer requested
that no difference might be made between the two children.
Mrs. Plummer introduced the subject. She would swear
most positively that she heard Mrs. Plummer request that
the child might go into Mr. and Mrs. Hatch's bed, as she
had been in the habit of doing so at the Rev. Mr. Brighton's.
The two children with Mr. Hatch waived their handker-

chiefs after the fly which conveyed away Mrs. Plummer.
The children ran back, and after tea began to play in the oval.
Witness called out to Mr. Hatch that she wanted her tea.
She did not call out more than once, as she was impatient
to have her tea. She would not have been impatient for
five or ten minutes, but the tea had been made some time.

She saw Mr. Hatch was trying to amuse the children. He
was always before the children. They never got on each
side of him. She slept with her bed-room door open. She
went to bed of 10 o'clock. Her bed-room door was oppo-
site that of Mr. Hatch's. She could not, however, see into
the lobby in which the door of Eugenia's bed-room was
without she (witness) sat up in her bed. If Mr. Hatch had
left the dinner-table for more than ten minutes she should
have been alarmed. Eight, nine, or ten minutes would
