Itis right 3 jat all these places should have their plans , if - they _HOok proper ; and as right that they should lay them , -srith all deference ; before fhe Dissembled delegates , to "
2 id ia _-flieir deliberations and labours . This our Bristol Mends can do " . The Conference will beheld . Steps for that purpose are being taken all over the eonntry . Of course the Bristol Trades will be _represented in it . Thar delegates can be entrusted with Ar e plan Hr . Jacobs bas prepared . They can bring it before the Conference . - It will tliere stand on its own _soerits _, - and on equal ground witli all other plans . It _jrDlaot possess an - undue presti ge from former pnbli _eatjou or public attention . It can be considered by ihe delegates , and its good points embodied in their own plan , along with tbe good points from ' " any other olaaor plans that may be submitted to them . " This coarse we are persuaded will best accomplish the end in _Hew—GessBAj . _tf-sioji and energetic action . -
_Belienag so , we must act on that belief , leaving others to do _ss-to them seemeth ' rig _' ht . "We shall , therefore , _define the insertion of all proposed plans on schemes of fieaeral Trades * Organisation , previous to the holding a the _General Conference : _bdsg determined , that as ar as weare concerned ,- the wort done by the _dele--gates shall if Uteir own work . At thesame" time we are free , as before intimated , to publish sdggestio ' ns , and offer opinions and advice . The prudence of this course _tbIL we are sure , be admitted by the Trades in general , andI we trust will be properly appreciated . - - - - j , a . —We fear the law is with - ' the ; husband .

Sherrard , -. secretary to * 'lhe Society of Broad Silk Wearers , Spitalfields : —Therebaving appeared in various newspapers a report-of . a very melancholy and distressing- circumstance * which has happened to a "Weaverof lhe name of 2 fey , he _having-six out of eight of his children die with scarletina , 'the Weavers , at Hair weekly meeting on Saturday , Fehruary 1 st , directed me to _IhOrOUgldy investigate _thecase , and after sd doing , to transmit the facts to the press for ' publication . TheSicts ofthe case areas follows ;—Jlr . Ney , who is a very-industrious and sober man , had one of his
children taken ill with the scarletina the _Iiegininng of last month * ' and abouttwo days after two more were taken ¦ ajth ihe same disorder . On the 7 th , two of fliem died . "Che others having caught the infection , on the 12 th two two more , died ; and on the 17 th two more "; six out of eight , and leaving-the other two dangerously ill . Xer , whoisa sjan of a very independent and persevering _spirit _^ nding he could not get sufficient relief from the _pgriii , applied ,. through the help of a Mr ; Harvey , who resides in Bethnal-green , to the magistrate- of _Wortiipstreet . - The result of this application TFai =. tliat vae ofthe officers was s _* mtlomquire into Ms case . , and upon the testimony ofthe officer , the worthy magistrate ordered a sovereign to be given to Ney out of the poor- ; bos . The . : publicity thus riven to the case caused
several other benerolent _rndinduals to send him assistance , for which he is very _grateful , and being a very caremi man , the money , thus bestowed will not be bestowed in vain . Bat what fhe'Weavers -wish the pnblic particularl y to notice - is ; that this man ; _USoi _^ jh he- has ' _alnays been so -Very -industrious and persevering , and was up _* m _. the _jvholei better off than hundreds of Weavers , jet-he -ivas entirely without tbe means of meeting' this dreadful calamity , and must , to use his own words , "have sunk completely over whelmed /* had it not been for the timely _asastance rendered him . b y those excellent individuals , whose hearts were moved to compassion by lus sufferings . Having , made the strictest inquiries into his case , I find that bis earnings , together with his wife and
daughter , a girl of about fourteen years of age , and sho was one of those who died , taking the year through , did not amount to more than one pound per week . This I have heard some people say is- " good wages . ? 1 Bat let us deduct the expenses to which a Weaver is liable , and we shaU find that they had scarcely sufficient , " mill so large » " family , to keep body and soul together When we deduct 4 s . 6 d- for rein " - ; Is . Cd . ' for light to _iroi by , and Is . for firing , there will be only 13 s .-per week remaining , and that , to keep a man , his wife , aad eight . children upon—which will amount to a flaction more than Is . tyi . per head per week , to find ft ** ia doihes and food—the poor man might well say that lus children were too weak to resist the attacks ofthe disorder . And ns he is a man' that never spends a
- _^ rhing inwaste , _noe ever goes out for a ; da _^ s pleasure , ' we may safely calculate that every penny was turned to ; the best account , and yet he conld-not -procure a snffidency of food to maintain his _femily . 7-r What then musthethe condition of _flior _» _wbo are out of _workj add _iihen in _wrok , earn fer less tlianhe did 13 know itio be a" feet that there are-hundreds so situated among the Weavers . ' I-am acquainted with ; several _instancesat the present time , equally as distressing as uus poor man Xey _* s , except that they _^ haveiot-had quite somany deaths in _flieir fiunilies . There is one in : - . particnlar , which I will beg- leave " to - quote / a * -it- , will serre : to illustrate the 7 manner 'Bi wMch the poor are treated under the abominable _^ eiv . Poor Law- system . ' The particulars of the case
are these : —A poor man , a-Weaver , of the name of GHbrey , reading at No . 15 , Green-street , Qlobendds , and -Who has seven children , and has been out of work ever since one month ' -before ' - Christmas , - hada child die about amonth ago '; by ' some " means or other he endeavoured to procurea coffin ; _hefliefi applied tothe parish _. to give him the ground to buryit in ,- _* when he was told by 3 fr . Bestow , one of-the relieving officers _^ _jBetlnial-green , lo take the child out of the coffin it was _*» , mdihcH . theg tconld bury it ... The poor . nian refused ; and ia _coasequence Hie ground teas refused him . I shudder whlUe _I-write , to think that in a Christian country like ours the holiest feelings , of human nature should he _tlios outraged , ' tims insultedby the veiy men who fetten on ihe poor man ' s toil ; - ¦ - ,-- ' -.-.
