And yet this is the man who presumes to lecture me
about my Irish votes. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Hennessy
then went over a number of other measures which the
Irish members considered as hostile to their country, but
Mr. Bright did not lend the slightest assistance to their
attempts to defeat those measures. But though of the lead-
ing members in the house no member is so ready to walk
out and not vote when division bell rings about any Irish
question as Mr. Bright, yet there are questions of some
moment too, to us, which seem to interest him keenly.
He is a great manufacturer, and he employs what ho calls
a good many hands—but not many Irish—the foreman, it
is said at Manchester, of Jacob Bright and Co. does not
encourage the Irish—but at all events he employs a large
number of human beings—men, women, and children.
Now no man stands lip so stoutly for his own strong class
as against the weak instruments they employ as Mr. Bright.
He was a leader in the defence of the cruel old system of
slavery, of disease, of ignorance, of shortened unhappy
lives which the Factory Acts have successfully attacked.
Hardly two years have passed since, at a meeting of the
magnates of Manchester, he boasted of his former opposi-
tion to the Factory Acts, and said ho would be prepared to
do the same again. He kept his word, for when the Lace
Factories Bill was before the house, and the Bleach Works
Bill, and a bill to give some protection to the poor girls
who work in the Bradford warehouses, he was not only
present, but violent in his opposition to these salutary and
benevolent acts. lie fought, and the other Radical ma-
nufacturers with him, for what he deemed to be a sort of
property of his, the right of doing what he liked with his
own workpeoplo. He assisted in destroying our paper
trade. He upheld the anti-national policy of lowering the
duties on sour French wines, and doubling it on Irish
whisky, until at length our distilleries are almost all de-
serted. Therefore, I say, his financial policy, like his
domestic and foreign policy, is against us. (Long con-
tinued applause).
Mr. Alderman Sinnott then moved the following resolu-
tion :—" Resolved—" That we have read with indignation

the uncalled-for attack made at the Dublin banquet by Mr.
Bright on our popular candidate, Mr. Pope Hennessy, and
that we repudiate, as totally unfounded, the statement
made by Mr. Bright on that occasion."
Mr. Alderman Pitt seconded the resolution, which was
passed unanimously.
