o 1 I o 9thus describes it:—“ The renewal of Mr, Sadler’s benevolent measure, the ' Ten-Ilours’ Bill, was undertaken on Tuesday evening by Lord Ashley, who feels a deep interest in this afflicting subject. Lord Ashley gave notice, immediately on the return of the Speaker from the Lords, and that notice was received with unusual and very hearty approbation from all parts of a house of upwards of 300 members. His Lordship has been requested by the official organ of the delegates’ meeting, whose address was recently agreed to, to undertake this charitable work. It seems, however, that the mill owners, unable to resist the strong tide of public opinion which the force of the evidence before the select committee, the result of Mr. Sadler’s indefatigable labors, has set in motion, have resolved to dole out some niggardly measure of relief to the poor children by the hands ot Lord Morpeth, one of the members for the West Hiding of Yorkshire. His Lordship must have been somewhat forgetful of Parliamentary courtesy when, after midnight on Tuesday, and when the House was all bustle, he announced his intention to bring in his, or rather the master’s, bill, and in so doing, dated his motion for the 27th of February, although Lord Ashley’s was previously given for the 5th of March. There can be very little doubt winch ofthetw'o propositions—that which comes from the sufferers and their friends, or that which emanates from the inflictors of that suffering—will meet with most of public support. Propably the petitions from the country at large will furnish some illustrations on this point.”
