for the working men of London, and not for those
of all England. (('sirs of " No.") He had
thoroughly examined this subject for the last 15
years, but how to carry out a principle depended on
time and circumstances. lie had been long of
opinion that Reform would not be handled
thoroughly, or brought forward with vigour, un-
less by Mr. Gladstone—(hear, hear)—but it was a
difficult question to deal with in the House of Com-
mons. The Government were obliged to form an
opinion in the dark, and no doubt a great deal of
time was lost in desultory warfare. In his opinion
they took the only course they could, and the vote
on which they resigned was to all intents and
purposes a vote of want of confidence, and not to
alter the wording of the bill. They would have
been guilty of the greatest folly had they acted
otherwise ; and in his opinion the result would be
of the greatest advantage to the cause of Reform,
because it was now settled by the Liberal party that
the Government of the country could not be carried
on without a measure of Reform. Ile believed Mr.
Gladstone would one day carry it in spite of all
obstacles. (Cheers.) And with respect to those
demonstrations made outside doors, he thought the
working classes were perfectly justified in doing so.
They were taxed with being indifferent to Reform,
and were right in evincing that such a charge was
entirely erroneous. He himself attended a Reform
meeting in Manchester, which was everything that
could be desired, and when it was'proposed to imi-
tate it in St. James's Hall he went there. (Loud
cries of " hear," and laughter.) He carried away
from St. James's hall the pleasing reflection that
those concerned resolved.to do what he suggested,
and no course was adopted likely to injure the cause
itself. It was said the House of Commons would do
nothing in the coming session, but be did not credit
it. He believed, on the contrary, that party contests
would bring out Parliamentary Reform, and a proper
measure would no doubt be brought forward and
carried. (Cheers.) It was said that if the franchise
were extended to the working classes the nation
would be too fond of going to war, but he did not
believe that assertion ; but, on the contrary, he
believed in his conscience the wisest thing that

Mr. DAY next moved, " That the best thanks of
this meeting be presented to Mr. Ayrton, M.P.,
for attending that meeting, and for the course he
pursued as one of their representatives."
Mr. CLADDING seconded the motion.

Mr. DUFFIELD moved as an amendment, "That
this meeting indignantly condemns the uncalled for
and unmanly attack made by Mr. Ayrtou on her
Majesty the Queen at the Reform Meeting in St.
James's Hall, on the 4th of December last, and is of
opinion that his treatment of the Reform cause at
that meeting, as well as his refusal to give his aid to
the insulted and oppressed tax-payers of Mile-end
when called upon to do so, renders it impossible that
the people of the Tower Hamlets, should continue
to give him their confidence and support." lie
candidly avowed he had never much confidence in
Mr. Ayrton—(cheers)—and it was for them to say
whither they would any longer disgrace themselves
by returning hinato 'Parliament. (Cheers.)
Mr. BEA IDLAW seconded the amendment, be-
cause Mr. Ayrton did not advocate that extension
of the suffrage demanded by the great body of the
people in the Tower Hamlets.
The called on Mr. Ayrton to say if he
made any attack on the Queen. .

Mr. AYwroN, in reply, said the imputation iu the
amendment was literally and entirely untrue and
unfounded.

A VOICE—Mr. Bright said so.

Mr AYRTON—Yes, but he was under a misappre-
hension. What he said then he would now repeat,
namely, that it was tho duty of her Majesty's Mi-
nisters to advise the Queen to identify herself more
with the life of the nation. There were great inte-
rests at stake in this metropolis, for hundreds and
thousands of people depended for their living on the
wealth that flowed into the metropolis, and it was
of the utmost consequence that the Sovereign should
be among them as much as possible. (Hear, hear.)
The amendment was then put and negatived, and
the original resolution passed.
Mr. GABLE next proposed a resolution in favour
of manhood and residential suffrage, protected by
the ballot.

Mr. BLAND seconded the motion, and it was
adopted.
A vote of thanks was next passed to the chairman,
after which the proceedings, which were of rather a
noisy character, terminated.

The Law of Trades' Unions.

IMPORTANT DEPUTATION TO MR. WALPOLE.

Yesterday afternoon a deputation waited by ap-
pointment on the Right Hon. S. H. Walpole, for the
purpose of representing to him, and through him to
Government, the position in which trades unions
have been placed by the decision of the Court of
Queen's Bench in the case of the Bradford boiler-
makers, and impressing on the Government the im-
portance of putting them in the same position with
regard to protection as friendly societies in general.
The deputation consisted of Mr. William Allan,
representing the Amalgamated Engineers ; Mr. D.
Guile, the Ironfounders' Society ; Mr. R. Apple-
garth, the Amalgamated Carpenters and Joiners ;
and Mr. George Odgers, of the Trades' Council.
The deputation was introduced by
Mr. THOMAS HUGHES, M.P., who said he believed,
and with great reason, that the decision of the
Queen's Bench had placed trades' societies entirely
outside the law. The deputation wished to lay their
case before the right hon. gentleman, and ask whe-
ther the Government could not assist to place them
in the position in which they understood they had
been placed by the acts of former Governments.
Mr. ALLAN said so far back as 1855 they succeeded
in getting two clauses inserted in the Friendly Socie-
ties' Act, by which they imagined they obtained legal
protection against fraudulent trustees or other offi-
cials. It was now very questionable whether they
had that protection ; in fact, they were inclined to
think they had not. The Court of Queen's Bench
had decided that their rules placed them outside
the pale of the law, and that they could not have
the protection of the Friendly Societies' Act.
_ _

Mr. WALPOLE understood that the Lord Chief
Justice decided that the society before him could
only be looked upon as a society formed to act as a
restraint on trade, and could not be supposed to be
legal.

Mr. llamEs said that in the rules of all the socie-
ties there were clauses that would probably be con-
sidered also as a restraint upon trade.
Mr. ALLAN said the Friendly Societies' Act gave
them certain privileges on depositing their rules
with Mr. Tidd Pratt, provided they contained nothing
contrary to law. In 1851 the society got the opinion
of Sir A. Cockburn, at that time Attorney-General,
who held that their rules were perfectly legal. If
they were legal, the societies contended that they
should have the protection of the Friendly So-
cieties' Act with regard to fraudulent trustees.
On the faith of that protection they had deposited
a large amount of money in the Post Office Savings
Banks. They had at first some difficulty about it,
but they waited on Mr. Gladstone, who ultimately
granted them the privilege of depositing their funds
there. It was now questionable whether, if any
fraud took place, they had any control over the
persons who defrauded them. Mr. Gladstone de-
cided that their rules were not illegal, and therefore
they ought to have the benefit/of the Friendly Socie-
ties' Act. _ _ .

Mr. WALPOIE—What power had Mr. Gladstone
to decide that? lie only gave his opinion, I sup-
pose ?
Mr. ALLAN said he was Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, and representative of the Government.
Mr. lIUGLIES said there had been a direct sanction
