TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

you kindly give insertion to these
few remarks in answer to a letter from " A Mem-
ber of the Builders' Central Association," which
appears in the Tinges of this morning, charging us
with " outrageous falsehoods ?" He brings for-
Ward this and other charges as an excuse for the
course the builders have adopted. This course, as
you justly observe, has produced " a suicidal re-
action against them."
Now, Sir, I challenge the Builders' Association
to put their finger upon any statement made by
the Conference that is not strictly in accordance
with the facts. We are the parties who really
ought to complain of falsehoods. A more " out-
rageous falsehood" was never asserted by any public
body than that contained in the resolution which
the Builders lately passed, stating that 8,000 men
had returned to their work under the " document."
Not 7,000 were at the time locked out, and our re-
turns, taken from the numbers who were daily
counted on leaving work, showed that hundreds,
instead of thousands, would have been nearer the
mark. This unblushing statement of the 8,000
men would, if true, have supplied workmen to
every unfinished building in the metropolis,
whereas it is well known by the "passers by" that,
with the exception of a few labourers hanging
about, not a man scarcely is at work at the West-
minster Palace Hotel, the Glocester Coffee-house in
Piccadilly, the Cancer Hospital, the Duke of Buc-
clench's mansion, the Houses of Parliament, or in-
deed, at any of the large jobs in the metropolis
where the " document" is enforced.

It is also said that we have been guilty of "acts
of treachery in previous dealings" with the Mas-
ters' Association. Here, again, we will leave it to
the public to decide which party has the most
cause to complain. We have had only two com-
munications with the Builders' Association, one
through the eminent merchant, Mr. Ingram Tra-
vers, and the other through Mr. Jay (one of their
own committee). In the former case it was agreed
that Mr. Travers's proposal for settling the disputes
should be submitted by Mr. Sidney Smith (secre-
tary) to the Association of Master Builders, and
by myself to the Conference. The Conference im-
mediately agreed to accept Mr. Travers's proposal
by a majority of 29 to 9, but after about a fort-
night's delay it was found out that the secretary of
the master builders had put Mr. Travers's paper
in his pocket, and never brought it before his mas-
ters (not considering it of sufficient importance),
although he had been engaged for four hours with
Mr. Travers and myself discussing the terms of the
arrangement.

Now-, take the manner in which we were treated
in the last (Mr. Jay's case), for which the Builders'
Association has, not only in your celmmis, but in
every newspaper, been so justly and universally
condemned. Mr. Jay expressed a wish to see me,
and on intimating his desire of putting an end to
the differences, we diicussed them at some length,
and ultimately he begged me to get the Conference
to put their proposals on paper, to lay before the
next meeting of the masters. We followed his
advice, and transmitted them with a respectful
letter. Everybody knows how this overture was
met by the insulting resolution against holding
any communication whatever with an "illegal and
irresponsible body."

As to " tyrannical acts," there is none that can
have exceeded that which took place on the 6th of
August last, when the masters turned into the
streets so many thousands of industrious men who
had nothing whatever to do with the original
quarrel.

The "Member of the Builders' Association"
concluies his letter by saying that if the trades will
purge the "rules and byelaws of the trades'
societies" (referring to the objectionable clauses)
" the document' can then be unconditionally with-
drawn."

This we have already agreed to by adopting Mr.
Ingram Travers's and Mr. Marsh Nelson's proposal
to amalgamate our societies on the pattern of that
of the engineers, one of the most flourishing of the
trades' societies, and the most respected by both
masters and men—a society which has been almost
universally approved by the leading merchants of
the city of London.
When "A Member of the Builders' Association"
makes false charges against peer men he should not
be ashamed of signing his name to them, so that
the public and the working-men may know who is
the person desirous of still further widening the
breach between the employers and the employed.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
GEORGE POT.CER, Secretary.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 5, 1859.

children very seldom live. They die very much more fie:
quently than nine months' children.
Henry Letheby, L'rofessor of Chemistry at the London
Hospital, said—l received a sealed jar with certain contents
from Dr. Gant on Monday, the 19th. I produce the seals
on the jar.
The seals having been identified,
Dr. Letheby continued—The jars contained the heart,
lungs, stomach, intestines, kidneys, and spleen. They were
all carefully submitted to analysis. I found the heart and
lungs healthy, weighing 850 grains. The liver was healthy,
it weighed 600 grains. The intestines and stomach weighed
only 480 grains. I first inflated the lungs to see if they
were sound, and found they were so. I examined them
when inflated for any signs of disease, but found none. I then
opened the stomach ; it was quite empty, with the excep-
tion of a little red mucous matter which covered the inner
coat. I opened the intestines, and found them nearly empty,
except the lower part, in which there were 66 grain of
matter somewhat faecal, like that of a new born child. I
submitted the intestines to examination by the microscope,
and could not find the slightest trace of vegetable food or
of fat which would indicate the presence of milk. The con-
tents and tissues were then submitted to an analysis for
organic poison, but without discovering any trace, and the
general result of my investigation was that death arose
from inanition, there being no signs of natural disease.
Coroner—Do you think the child was a full-grown ono ?
Witness—Judging from my experience, I should think
so. I don't speak positively to that, as I did not see the
child. The child appeared to me to have been unable to
swallow, or would not swallow. If the child could have
swallowed, I think it could have taken sufficient food to
maintain life. I cannot, however, speak positively on
that point.

Cross-examined by Mr. Best—Anything that prevented
the child swallowing or prevented food from entering the
stomach would cause death. If the child had taken food
and vomited it back again the same result would follow.
Mrs. Conder, the nurse, was recalled, and in answer to
questions put to her by the coroner, said—The child after it
took the slightest quantity of food always vomited.
Miss Mi tchell, recalled, and in answer to questions from
the coroner, said—When I saw the child fed it retained the
food it took on its stomach. I never heard of the child
being sick.

The Coroner said— I am afraid that we have now arrived
at a point at which wo must adjourn this inquiry, as Mr
Ayres, the undertaker, a material witness, and one who
can explain how the two bodies got. .into the coffin, is not
in attendance. He was duly summoned, but he has gone
out of town. There is a person here, however, on the pat
of Mr. Ayres, to explain the cause of his absence.
This person said that Mr. Ayres left town last night, on
urgent business. He had gone into Hertfordshire.
Mr. Best—l think, as he is not here, well knowing
that his presence was absolutely necessary, he ought to be
fined.

The Coroner—l think, under all the circumstances, the
inquiry had better be adjourned.

Nre Best—Will you examine Dr. Godfrey ? Ho' is in
attendance.

The Coroner—Not at present. It is very much to be
regretted that Mr. Ayres is not here,!and that being so, I
shall adjourn the inquiry until Friday morning next.
• The inquiry was accordingly adjourned.
Mr. Inspector Whicher attended the inquiry on behalf of
the Commissioners of Police, and Inspectors Griffin and
Kerresby, of the district, were also in attendance.
