TO ALL THOSE WHO WERE UNJUSTLY DEALT WITH BY THE MAGISTRATES , DURING THE RECENT PERSECUTION OF THE CHARTIST BODY . Mt Friends , —I have just learned that Mr . Duncombe ' s motion for an inquiry into the conduct of the magistrates who persecuted the people during the recent Anti-Corn-Law League putbreab , is to be brought before the House of Commons , on the 20 th of March ; and , as be must have grounds to go upon , it is absolutely necessary that those aggrieved should speak for themselves . With that view , I submit the following short petition to be forwarded without delay to T . S . Doncombe , Esq ., 6 , the Albany , London .
It had better be sent under a-penny stamp . I hare merely given this outline . Each person will know bow to fill up his own . All can be done on a sheet of letter paper , and sent precisely as a letter . When Mr . Duncombe brought forward his motion on Lord Abinger's conduct , he was taunted with not having any petitions . Now don't you thus arm his enemies this time . This is the most important motion ever made . George White and all others are requested to send such petitions ; also stating reasons , if any , assigned for refusing bail . This must be done at once . I shall have mine ready in time . Youi faithful friend , Feaugob O'Connor .
To the Right Honourable and Honourable the Knights , Citizens , and Burgesses of the United Kingdom , in Parliament assembled . The Humble Petition of A . B ., Hand-loom Weaver , showeth—That your Petitioner was arrested on the day of ¦ last , upon a charge of ———

Sir . J . Graham objected to the return as it at present stood . He hoped that the Hon . Member would withdraw his motion . Mr . Fkrband said that he could not withdraw the motion . It appeared from the objection of the Right Hon . Baronet that there was something behind the scenes which the Secretary for the Home Department wished to conceal from the public . He would divide the House on the subject . Sir R . Peel wished the Hon . Gentleman not to go to a division under the impression that the Government had anything to conceal . Anything that Bould fairly be brought under the cognisance of the House would be freely communicated . His Right Hon . Friend , tho Secretary for the Home
Department , had given an assurance that he was ready to produce all the information he possessed relative to the establishment of that which had been called by to many names . It was not fair to assume , as tbe motion of the Hon . Gentleman did , that upon a particular day a body of guardians had misconducted themselves . He would propose to substitute for the motion of the Hon . Member" That there shall be laid before this House a copy of the minutes and proceedings of the board of guardians of the union of Halifax , held on the 1 st of March , as far as relates to the administration of the New Poor Law within the union ; also a copy of any resolution for the erection of a rag-mill made on that or any other day . "
Colonel Sibthorp and Mr . Hudley hoped the Honourable Gentleman would be satisfied with the offer made by the Government , and not divide the House . Mr . Ferkaud would not be satisfied with Ies 3 than the whole of the resolutions passed by the Board on tbe first of March , together with the notices of the resolutions served by the Clerk to the Board . Sir J . Graham could assure the Hon . Gentleman tbat , in consequence of what had taken place in the Honse upon the subject of the rag-mill , he had expressed a strong opinion to the foor Law Commissioners against its use —( cheers ) . The commissioners had communicated that opinion to all the unions , and they would uot be used again .
Mr . T . Dvkcojims hoped the Government wonld have no objection to produce the resolution , passed by the Board on the same day , for the exclusion of the reporters for the public press . Captain Pecheil was very happy to hear what had fallen from tbe Right Honourable Secretary for the Home Department , and he trusted he would stt kis face against tbe grinding of bones for manure in workhouses . Mr . Demison thought the notices ought to be produced ; they formed a most important part of the proceedings of the Board .
Mr . FsRRAND said , theinh&bitantR of Halifax complained that the board held on the 1 st of March was one packed for the purpose of doing the work of the Assistant Commissioner , and that notices had not been served on the whole body . He would be content to withdraw his motion if the Right Hon Baronet would add a copy of the notices given at any proceeding meeting of the board of any resolution passed on the 1 st of March ; and he would have no objection to have the resolution for excluding reporters . If the notices were refused he would divide the House .
Sr J . Graham said no notice had been given in respect of the resolution which was complained of as a breach of the privileges of that House ; but after the question had been decided on two occasions by the House he deprecated its being again renewed . As to the other resolution , he thought it was highly inexpedient for the House to direct any Board of Guardians to admit or exclude reporters . It was better left to themselves . The original mot'on was withdrawn , and that proposed by Sir Robert Peel put as a substantm resolution . Mr . Feuhjlnd then moved to add to it also a copy of all notices given at any preceding meeting of toe Board , relating to any proceeding or resolution , connected with the administration of the New Poor Law , wbioh was adopted by the Board on the 1 st of March .

to the top of the house . . There is a step ladder from the ceiling of tbe house ; near to the top of the ladder there are two trap doors , one of which drops flat upon the joists of the oeiling , and the other opens to the roof . On the 9 th of January I was employed as plumber at the house , when I examined the roof , and m going along tho rafters , and when near to the stack of chimneys , I observed a bundle laid upon the projection of the chimney ; it was a child wrapped in a towel . I lifted up one of the cornera of the
cloth to asce rtain what it contained , and I saw the head ; I had a candle with me at tho time . I returned down stairs immediately and gave information to Robert Gregory , and some of the servants , who went ap with me , and we examined tho body ; GTeeoiy then went down stairs , and shortly returned with the butler and the gamekeeper ; the body was " i 01 H » ei » removed . I again went up to the spot on the following Thursday , and 1 then saw tho child : it appeared to be in the same state as when 1 first saw it .
Cross-examined . —I am well acquainted with the house ; it would be dangerous going along the rafters in a dark night , without a light . The second time 1 visited the' spot , I was accompanied by Robert Gregory arid William Wilson ; the butler u g £ ! ° ekee P er , and the groom , came up after us the child was laid upon the cloth in which it was u « . ' corners of whioh were thrown over it ? the whole of the child was exposed with the exception of the legs . I did not observe at the time that its throat was cut . Tie trap door through tbe ceiling jb about three feet square ; the one to the roof 13 abouC ( he same size , but a good deal stronger and heavier than the other .
Robert Gregory deposed—I am a joiner at Aldbro " and on the 9 ih June last , I was at Foroett Hall , when I was called upon by last witness ; I then 6 aw a child laid in a . towel , the oorners being thrown over the body . I removed the towel , when I saw a gash or cut in the throat . I was employed at rorcett Hall in the month of June or July previous ? I was frequently in the house ; I perceived a smell about the house , whioh it was thought arose from rats , aDd a rat catcher was employed when I was there . I saw the prisoner before the month of June , whilBt she was in itie service of Mr . Mitchell ; her appearance was that of being pregnant . 1 had some conversation with her after the 9 h of June as to her
lying in . She answered that she had never laid m , or bomething to tbat effect ; she appeared smaller at the time . Cross-examined—I am certain this conversation took place in the joiner ' s shop , in the hearing of William Wilson , but I don ' t know that ho heard it . I cannot say when I first stated this conversation to have taken place ; perhaps this is the first time that I have stated it on oath . When I ob-Berved the gash in the throat I spoke bo that tho 36 who were there might have beard it . The distance from the trapdoor to the place where the body was found is about thirty-eight feet ; the joists are about twelve inches apart . Re-examined—I am quite positive aa to the conversation taking place . When I saw the gash I said I thought the throat , was cut .
Abraham Derrick deposed—In January last , I was butler at Forcett Hall . On the 9 th of that month I received some information from Gregory , in consequence of which I went into the garret along with the game-keeper and groom . We went to the stack of chimnies , where I saw the body of a child ; it was uncovered all but the face ; I did not make any close examination of it myself , and we all left the place ; it was between one and two when I saw the child . I went up to the roof along with Mr . Snowden , police-officer , on the Thursday following , when I found the body in the same state aa I had previously seen it . Cross-examined—Gregory , when we were looking at the body , said he thought the throat was out . 1 looked at ic , but I could not see whether it was or not . I did not observe anything particular about tbe body . Re-examined . —The body was not removed by
me . Mr . R . Snowdon deposed . —I am the police- officer of Greta Bridge . On Thursday , the 12 th January , I was sent for to Forcett Hall . The butler took me to the roof of the house , and against the stack of chimnies I saw a child wrapped in a napkin , lying en a joist or foot beam ; the right arm was partly under the beam ; the left hand side of the child was against the chimney ; it appeared as though it had been squeezed in , and tie doctor had some difficulty in getting it out ; it was between the beam and the stack of chimnies ; the face and down to the thighs were visible , tbe legs being covered with the towel ; I did not touch the child . Mr . Johnson Glover , surgeon , was sent for , and be removed it from the roof , and examined n , assisted by Mr . Marsh . When the child was laid upon the beam , 1 saw it , and it had the appearance of a cut in the throat . There
was an inqnest held on the body on the 14 th Jan . ; both I and the prisoner were present . Before the inquest , I went to the prisoner ' s house , and charged her with having given birth to a child at Forcett Hall , in June last , and with having murdered the same . I cautioned her as to her answer , as it might afterwards be used against her on her trial . She said she never was wuh child in her life . I searched tbe house , and found a letter in a drawer , which $ . he said belonged to htr sister . The priBoner said if I wanted letters she had got them ready , as she expected me coming . I found two letters which had been sent to the prisoner by Elizabeth Atkinson . After the inquest , I asked the prisoner if Atkinson then lived at Skellbrooke Park , when she said no , 6 he had left . I asked if she know where sh had gone , and she told me some where in the neighbourhood of York . I afterwards went to Skellbrooke Park
and there found Atkinson . The latter was not at the inquest , but attended before the Magistrates on the H ' . h of Jai . uary . Cross-examined . —The body of the child was very much dried ; the skin was more like parchment than anything else . The doctor had some difficulty in getting the child from the place of concealment ; the cloth was fast to the beam . [ Witness here handed in a letter which he found at the prisoner ' s house . ) Margaret Walker deposed—In June last , I waa lady ' s maid at Forcett Hall ; the prisoner and I slept together in a room adjoining tbe closet ; ( had then been absent from the Hall for some time wiih my master and mistress , and returned in the early
part of that month . Two or three days after I returned , the prisoner complained of being unwell , and on the evening in question she went to bed early , and I followed between eleven and twelve o ' clock , at which time she seemed very ill , and complained of great pain . I was disturbed during the night by the prisoner , who left the room ; it was dark at the time . She got out of bed , Raying that she was disturbing me , and she would therefore go into the other room ; she had disturbed me by turning about in bed , and complaining of great pain . I got up between six and seven in the morning , when I knocked at the door of the room in which the prisoner then was ; it was locked . The prisoner came to the door , and asked me to fetch her petticoat ;
she had on her night gown , and a calico petticoat , and was sat near to the bed foot . I observed blood on her petticoat and her right hand ; there were aleosome * pots of blood on the floor . I cannot recollect whether she slept with me or not the night after her illness , but she did on the second night atter ; I noticed her on that night ; she kept her petticoat on for several nights . 1 The prisoner was off her work for two or three days . I observed tnat she was smaller than she had been , and 1 suspected that she had had a miscarriage . Two or three weeks att < r , I went with the family into Scotland . 1 noticed the prisoner to have a peculiar faint smell that 1 had not remarked before . I observed it the first night t > he slept with me .
Cross-examined—I had been in the habit of sleeping with the prisoner for about three months before she had her illness . It is usual for the female servants on retiring to rest to lock their room doors . I am living at Forcett Hall . Mrs . Mitchell is dead ; but Mr . Mitchell is living at the HaLl . Re examined—A Mrs . Palmer waa the guardian of the servants at the time when this transaction took place . There were clothes presses in tbe room where prisoner and 1 slept , and she had the key ot one of them .
Aun GUliespie—I lived as kitchin maid at Foroett Hall , in January last ; I slept with Biizibeth Atkinson , and was called up bv the prisoner in the month of June last , about four o ' clock in the morning . She said she was very ill , and wished me to get up and make her some tea . I did so and took it to her . She seemed very weak and very ill , and in great pain . She walked up and down tne room , and then threw herself across the bed . I went to bed again ; and returned to the prisoner ' s room about an hour after . The , door was looked ; I knocked at it and tbe prisoner came and opened it . 1 asked her bow she was and she said she was considerably better . I did not see her again until the afternoon of that day . about one o ' clock , in the same room .
About eight or nine o ' clock in tbe evening I saw Elizabeth Atkinson taking a pail of warm water oat of tbe scullery boiler , and carry it up stairs . When I was with the prisoner I told her that a dooter had been sent for ; bat she said she did not need one as she was a great deal better . I saw stains of bloed on the floor , carpets , and vallance of the bed . The stains on the floer appeared as if they had been partly washed out . I saw the Bame pail that Atkinson bad taken up stairs , in a doeet . There was some water in it , which was coloured wiih blood . The prisoner did not do
any work that day ; and I perceived that she was a great deal more swollen than what she bad been . 1 know Mary Ann Carter ; she came to the hall on the day the prisoner was ill , and went to her room , where she remained about an hour ; it was in the evening . When Carter went away she took along with her a basket and a small bundle . The prisoner told me that Mrs .: Palmer , the housekeeper , had charged her with baring had a child ; and tbat previous to tbat people bad said she was pregnant , which she denied . Elizabeth Atkinson and I slept together from February to the latter end of March ; during which she was not ill .

Mr . Charles Ronald deposed . —I am a solicitor , residing at Gray ' s Inn , London . ( I am solicitor to Mr . Mitchell . la consequence of information I received , I came down to Forcett Hall . The prisoner ' s father came to me and said that his daughter had a communication to make to me . After that she came to me . I cautioned her as to what she said , as it might be afterwards used in evidence against her . She then made the following statement , which I took down in writing : —Tttat sometime after the rent day in April , Elizabeth Atkinson , who then slept in the room facing the staircase at tbe top of the house , called to her at about seven in the evening , as she was passing her room . That she went into the room ; that Elizabeth Atkinson seemed very ill ;
and upon Taylor asking her what ; was the matter , she said tbat she was vory ill , and it was all in her back ; and that if she ( Taylor ) would not tell any of the servants of the house that she was ill , she wodld give her a sovereign . Taylor replied that she did not want her sovereign . That of course it was no business of hers to tell the other servants . Elizibeth then asked Jane to bring her a little beer up , which she did . When Jane took up the beer , Elizabeth was in bed , and she placed the beer on a chair by the bed side . Elizabeth ! then asked Jane to bring up a slop pail , which she did . Jane observed a deal of water or some ( moisture by the side of the bed . Jane then wished Elizabeth good night , and did not see her till next morning . On
that morning , Jane knocked at : | Elizabeths door , and asked for the pail . Elizabeth answered she was going to get up , and would put tbe pail out , and set it over the landing . Jaqo immediately , on seeing the pail , observed that it was all daubed with blood on the inside . She ( Taylor ) took it out to the wash-bouse and washed it out , but could not get the blood off it ; she scrubbed it with a brush , and set it outside the kitchen door , and did not like to use it for two or three days afterwards . A day or two after this , Taylor went to clean out the bedroom outhe first floor opposite the ! staircase , and observed the foot bath to be bloody , aa if some bloody
subetance had been thrown fiat down into it . She called Ana , the kitchen maid , to look ! at it , which she did .

Charge of Threatening to Shoot the Queen and Sj « Robert Pakl —A man was brought before the Lord Mayor on a charge of threatening to shoot the Queen and Sir Robert Peel . The prisoner was James Stevenson , a t&Hish , BaUow-oomplexioned Scotchman , about thirty years old , with light prominent , grey eyes , matted hair , 'large mustaohios , and thick yellow beard . He lived , with his father in Renfrewshire ; and having wandered to Hull , came up to London by the steam-packet . While on board he wss heard to say , that it was not proper for a
woman to rule , and that " the woman must be destroyed ! " and he said tbat he had business with Sir Robert Peel , who " must answer him , or be de > troyed . " To tho questions of the Lord Mayor he returned the most incoherent and rambling answers . He had I een a servant and a weaver ; but for the last three years he had lived fin his earnings , ( £ 30 ) , Rtudying the Bible , the Greek ! Testament , John Kuox ' s History , and many books that he could uot name . If his wandering words are intelligible , he conceived that there was a union , —which seems to be a confused idea between the union of
the two kingdoms and a clerical combination ) to put out all truth from the Churches of England and Scotland ; he wanted to see Sir Robert Peel to break this union ; but when asked what he meant to do if he did not succeed , he evaded the question . Afterwards , when Mr . Hewitt , the Clerk of the Packet Company , repeated his declaration that Sir Robert Peel must Ibe destroyed , and the Lord Mayor asked , " Is that your idea i "—he replied , " It is—that every Minister who holds up Anti-Chrifrt must be put down . " -He adjudged that " man must reign , not the female "; and he held , that if the Q'leen did not lay down her office , she must be destroyed . Pistols being mentioned , he exclaimed , " I never intended the pistols , " The Lord Mayor remarked , that there ! was no law in the Bible that he should destroy a maa who would not fulfil what be thought proper : on whioh he answered
readily , " I think there js such a thing : ' Whosoever will not serve the Lord , shall be put to death . "' He quoted other texts , and a paper was produced in which he had joined " Suoh oppressors make wise men mad ' to "That very justlyithey should stab . " " Tne Bible does not teach you that , " said the Lord Mayor . " Yes , " he answered ; ? ' you will see the passages in Judges : Ahab the King was stabbed ; and ho was a very fat man . you know . " He does not appear to have heard of the assassination of Mr . Drummond ; but he said he first heard of Sir Robert Peel ' s being in power " when the man shot at the Queen—that firct drew my attention to the subject . " He had but 2 s . 2 . } d . in his pocket when taken . He did uot object to bis father ' s being written to ; but be said his father thought him " bad beyond comotion . " He was remanded till Friday j being lodged in the Compter .

giH , At the present moment this country ia the scene of commotion , strife , and mteery , caused , in a great measure , by the diftwut Bcbemes tbat , n «> w agitate the minds of the public ; eaeh party have their oven nostrums , hired leaders , and followers , and ia order that their principles , " wise sayines . intentions , and actions ' may be known , Bnd cona qaently more adherents gathered under each particular banner , resort is had to the public press , knowing w .-ll that is isan engine powerful in leading an < i directing themuid of unsuspecting man ; and it is in general easily ma . ie subservient to the wishes of . ami the propagation of principles too often detrimental to the interest of the wonld
unwary dupes of pretending patriots , - >* - philanthropists , and self termed d ! sintere « t « d persons . Amongst such are to be found toe scheme of Emigration ; haviDg dike the rest of tbe bubbles that float on the troubled waters ut agitation ) ita own orgaus , advocates , and folio ers ; circulating , defending , and believing , tbat their tutu will alone pTe . ve to be efficacious in relieving iu » fr »? a the misery and distress that now frfkets British society ; that theirs is the only pajacva for all the grievances caused by class made laws , and when once removed from this portion of the wot Id , starvation aad poverty will no more be known . Nothing but quitting the land that gave them birth wii ; bring them cheap foudf high wages , and plenty of work .
Let the admirers and lovess of emigration serlousiy ponder over the following , called frem tho letter of aa intelligent and active young man , who left this part of Scotland last spring , and is now settled in tbe wilds of Canada , and whose sphere of life and situation gives him a greater field of observation than is generally in the power of most of those wbo 8 jm gone thither . He says , that " with regard to emigrating 10 this country , I cave seen no reason to chance the opinion I expressed of it in my last letter ; the farmer with small capital , and persevering industry , and wbo does not care very much for church , post-office , books , nor iufeelligen * society , & <] ., may do very well , but an individual of a different character will feel himself not at home in tho wild woodB of America . O God ! how poor peop 0
are deceived by the representations , or rather misrepresentations of interested characters . To explain tbis a little : the Canada and other companies promise laud , and toll you a fine story about the fertility of the soil , and the salubrity of the climate ; but believe tnem not ; ior be it known to you that tbt * e is a tax upon wild land , and if thoy can get any person so simple , as to settle npon a portion of the worst ot theiis . they thereby escape apart of the wild land tax , andget their property intersected with toids . Ta > s holds oat encouragement for other settlers , and enhauces tbe vajue of their possessions , more than yon have any adequate idea of in an old country . There is another class who favour emigration from political motives .
they think an extensive system of emigration from tke old country would swamp the French interest , and thereby secure British supremacy . I have not seen very much of the country , but I bave seen a good many of the people , and not only new corners but old settlers and I must confess that I never saw so much appearance of poverty in the old country—grown up people clothed in rags , children bareheaded and barefooted , standing the severity of a Canadian winter . 1 have also & % en and conversed with some of tbe Paisley weavers who came oat in the Renfrewshire , and they were wishing that , bad as Paisley was , they were safely in it again . You may think that I am looking on Canada with a jaundiced eye : I on 5 y stats faetd , you can draw y or own conclusions .
" Read this to all my friends and acquaintances , and if A has got a job of work , an intelligent friend , and Chartist newspaper , he is mare comfortable than in tbe American bush , in my opinion . " Such , Sir , are the remarks of an intimate friend and distant relative of mine ; and , in my opinion those wbo intend leaving this conntry should only do bo when all other means of relief bave been tried and found productive of no good . Have we as yet tried Home Colonization ? Are there no fields for sucb a scheme at home ? Is it not true that then are upwards of thirty millions of uncultivated land capable of improve * ment in the United Kingdom ? If we have not as yet ascertained tbat snch is the case , let us make inquiry . Hoping this will find a corner in your paper , ^ I am , AN Old and Regular Subscriber .
