dition of the labouring classes inCendiarisin would con-
tinue to increase, and not the whole of the metropolitan
police force could keep- the country quiet. That
was ss the purport of his remarks ; and he
begged to say that he had not intentionally
misrepresented Sir Augustus Henniker. In a letter
which he had received on this subject, it was stated
that Sir Augustus had said that he could not close his
eyes to the wide-spread spirit of discontent. (The Hon.
Member here read the letter alluded to, and it appeared,
as far as we could gather, that the version of Sir Au-
gustus speech given in the letter did not differ mate-
rially from that which the Hon. Member had peevieusly
given.) He (Mr. T. Duncombe) begged to express his
regret if he had misrepresented the purport of the
charge, but it appeared to him that the only
injustice of which he had been guilty was, in
net having expressed himself sufficiently strong.
FACTORIES BILL.
On the motion that the Order of the Day for the
House resolving itself into Committee on the Factories
Bill, be read,
Mr. S. CRAWFORD rose to call the attention of the
House to the Belfast petition, but he was interrupted by
The SPEAKER, who said that the lion. Member was
out of order, inasmuch, as the question had not yet
been put.
Mr. ROEBUCK rose amidst loud cries of " Order,"
but at.length gave way.
The question that the Order of the Day be read was
then put, and agreed to.
Sir J. GRAHAM moved that the Speaker do leave
the chair.
Lerd.ASHLEY presented several petitions in favour
of the Ten Hours' clause.
Mr. ALDAM presenteee a petitiOn from persons em-
ployed in the woollen mills at Leeds; against the half's-
time clause.
Mr. ROEBUCK then. rose for the purpose of moving—
' " That it is the opinion of this House that no interference
with the power of adult labourers in factories, to
make contracts respecting the hours for which they
shall be employed, be ' sanctioned by this House."'
He believed that he was perfectly in order in moving
i this resolution before, the House went into Committee
on the Bill. It had-been objected to him that he might
have moved the resolution in Committee, but, in his
opinion, great advantage would be derived from
moving it as a resolution of the House. It appeared
to him (Mr. Ftoebuck) that the Right Honourable
Gentleman opposite was alternating between various
practices—that at one time the doctrines of non-inter-
ference with labour prevail with him, and at another
time the opposite doctrine. He was anxious to learn
from the Right Hon. Gentleman the principles upon
which his conduct was governed. He, therefore, should
first apply himself to the general principle which
-ought to prevail in order to 'deprive the Right
llonoureble Gentleman of the power of apply-
ing his own principles in any way that he liked.
He meant- to throw upon the Right . Honourable
I Gentleman the onus of showing why he took from the
working classes the power of contracting fur themselves-,
and then he should address himself to the Noble Lord
opposite, and throw upon him the onus of proving the
advantage he proposed to coffer on the working
classes by legislation. lie should grapple with two
antaeonists who were opposed to each other ; but he
wished first to place them, as that the% should not be able
to draw from an arm( airy w hich did noilegitimately belong
to them. But, before all, he wished to relieve himself from
the odium which was cast upon him, and others who
thought with him. Ile meant the charge of inhumanity
—(Hear, hear)--of disregard for the people—of un-
natural selfishness—nay. of cold-bloodedness, which had
been charged upon them. For himself he could say he
had a sincere sympathy for the working classes, and so
sincere was it 'that it could only be satisfied by seeing
'them vested with the power of governing themselves.
The professing friends of the working classes would not
agree in this. Ile (Mr. Roebuck) said to those
professing friends give them the power to speak
for themselves—give theta the power to legislate
for themselves in this House. When they gave to the
working classes that power—when# he found those who
professed themselves so exceedingly anxious for the
rights of the people voting for their proper representa-
tion in that House—then he would believe that they had
some real sympathy for their sufferings. Now to
his propositions. He (Mr. Roebuck) took it as a
general rule that the labouring man had the
greatest interest in forming a contract for himself.
.The next proposition was, that the working man had
the best knowledge of his own circumstances, and that
no general rule could be filmed so well calculated to
affect his into rest as his own strongly inclined views,
his wants, and necessaries.. The general rule, therefore,
must be taken to be, that they could not interfere with
private interests on this subject—that the parties them-
selves were the best _ calculated to make their own
Contracts. Those who differed from this principle
and who advocated interference, must show the grounds
for that interference, the onus lay upon them te do so.
Now, what right bad they to interfere with them? First,
he held that the parties having strong interest and pecu-
I liar knowledge, it wits: incumbent for the party inter-
I feting to show that they had greater knowledge ; that
they had greater interest,. or that they -hal a greater
• power of judging. But the Noble Lord said that there was
a peculiar els ss omen this country called " factory men,"
that there were peculiar thins connected with their con-
dition that called for the interference of the Legislature,
and that those peculiarities were overwork and under-
I pay. Now, upon that the Noble Lord had collected a
great mass of evidence which lie had flung upon the
table of the House, stating that that evi ence showed
great immorality and great misery. Such were the
Noble Lord's premises, bet the next'step that the Noble
Lord took wes a most remarkable one—he stated that great
misery existed from overwork and underpay, and he
ci the working classes, to
didnot support lore in that
best feelings of the human
shptruatmtpeaodisi thatiittyi
t_:a taliFdwas
persontoanalenemy
-heart, and that as such he ought to be branded as the
enemy of his kind. Now, between the Noble Lord's
premises and his conclusions, there was in his (Mr. Roe-
buck's) opinion no connection whatever. Having esta-
blished , that' an evil existed, he ought to have gone on
to show that the proposition which lie had brought
forward was a remedy for these evils.—(Hear, hear.)
However anxious he might be to ameliorate the distress,
he might be a bad, he might be an ignorant physican,
and that what .he proposed, instead of relieving
might increase the misery he described, and
so far from ameliorating a single misfortune,
;might bring a curse
upon those for whom
he. legislated. This, he thought, described the position
of the Noble Lord. He had been "misled by his isym-
i
-
1 patties, and he came to that House to show that great
imisery existed in a particular class of labourers. Now
it was very easy fur the ranting demagogue to go,
1 a sort of Wandering instrument, round th country.
1 for the dissemination of ignorance and ill-feeling ; that
' was a very easy thing to do ; it was assumed by the
most vulgar and the most ignorant of mankind ; that was
! an object easy of attainment, but what the House required
was something beyond that ignorance—something beyond
that blustering weakness, something beyond that coward
folloWing out of opinions which in that House dared not
be maintained. That was easy ; but what that House
required was that they should not only prove the
existence of evils, but show also the efficiency
Of their remedy ; that they should not accu-e
of being the cause of
the circumstances of our
cot thati"no sdei tleiiov:i: l 1 :a es.% '''
hhbu?cm' h itssan r beings;o sarose
legislation,
out
thatt
on any claSs in this country, the odium arising from
1 that which was the mere necessity of our nature. Ile
had said that 'that class of mind, which thus sought
to obtain notoriety, was among the lowest and
mos vulgar which could deprave humanity ; and
which, though in ,a-etime of excitement !right met)
with some transient favour from that House would, he
hopedewhen the House came to its right senses, be, as it
ought to be, declared a calumny and a falsehood. The
first step the Noble Lord had taken was to show that the
factory labourer was ittilpeculitir position--tharhe was
1 in a situation which diStinguished him from all others—
that - there was that in the peculiar incidents of
his - history which enabled a Legislative body
tti interfere in his behalf. Now, they wanted to know
%halt were the peculiar characteristics of the factory la-
boUrer. First, he found that the factory labourer was
quitC as well fed, to say the least of it, as any other la-
shew. that the factory labourer was better fed than any
bourmr in the community, and he should be enabled to
other. . He then found that the factory labourer was not
subjected to worse toil than other classes of the commu-
pity, and he would beg the House to remark that it was
not enough to get an undigested mass of evidence on
this point, for if he chose to turn the Noble Lord's
weapons against himself, he could draw from it a
macs of proofs of- the existence of misery of every
kind among the labourers of this country.—(Hear.)
Now he would take one in this town. The one he was
about to mention might excite the merriment of the
House ; but he ' mentioned it because he believed
they were a more sorely taxed cl.
than - any in the community—
women-of-all --- heass
meant the
of labourers
women-of-all work in the City of London.—(Rear,
hear. Let them compare their condition with
that of the factory girls, and the condition of the latter
would be found a paradise compared with that of the
former.—(Hears bear.) Let them compare the men
i who worked in factories with the men who were engaged
1 in agriculture.—(Hear, hear.) - He found that those
who worked in factories were covered and sheltered'
from ail the inclemency of the seasons; he found that
they had gocd pay, and that they were far happier than
the egriculturists, who were exposed to cold, and wet, ,
1 and frost; and 'to have bad pay, bad clothing, and bad !
lodging.—(clear,

the interference of the Legislature in -their-behalf:
(Hear, hear.) He found two circumstances to diStiii-
eeuish his position. Those who worked in factories were
'congregated into masses which invited investigation—
which insured inspection—which brought his condition
continually before the public.—(Heer, hear.) They
did - nut live like the agriculturists, far distant
trim ' the • gaze of local superintendents, who
might bring their misery and toil before the world, who
could bring down indignation upon the masters, and
make their agricultural tyrants tremble. Now such was
not the condition of the factory workman. His condi-
tion was to be congregated in multitudes, which multi-
