A critical examination of reports on hand loom weavers in the silk and cotton trades. Evidence from Spitalfields and Manchester shows wages have fallen since 1823, with long hours and meager weekly earnings, while factory growth masks underlying hardship. The account argues against prosperity claims from industry writers and cites witness testimony on wage erosion and duty effects.

Testimony details the decline in wages for linen and woollen weavers in Leeds Glasgow and Bolton, with many living in abject poverty. Witnesses describe longer hours, reduced real earnings, rising costs for food clothing and furniture, and deterioration of housing bedding and furniture across multiple towns.
