VOL. II— No, XLII. J WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1830. To tbe EDITOR of THE BRISTOLlAN. SIR, The good effects of your Sermon, delivered last Sunday week at Abbey, together with your able comment on that noble portion of . the Scriptures against tyranny and oppression of the master over the servant are visible. The greatest activity was displayed hours before you arrived hero. the part of tbe Yorkshire Cove and his underlings, to go about early on that morning round the works to collect the greatest ruffians they could find in order to interrupt you and create a dis- turbance on the Sabbath morning. This reminds me of Balak's sending for Balaam to curse the Israelites, Numbers chap. % 2, ver, 6, Come, says Balak, now, therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people for. they are too mighty for me, piradventure I shall prevail that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land, for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed,"— this was the language of our despot to his underlings— Bread for Life was one, Mr. Crack- rods was another, Mr. Crack- wire was the third, Mr. Cherry- ripe was the fourth, Mr. Cabbage- Tailor was the fifth, grinning like a monkey in a cage but not daring to speak, because stronger than he was in the pulpit. What was the underlings answer now to their gallant master— what reason could they give to him that the men whom they col- lected would not curse Acland at the ground? why the same as Baalam gave to Balak in th e 18th verse of the chapter leferred to— Baalam said to Balek, " if Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold I cannot go bevond the word of the Lord my God to do less or more. 4' Was not this the language of the underlings and the people that they col- MEMOIRS and CORRESPONDENCE of JAMES ACLAND, Proprietor and Editor— written by Himself. " I LIKE HONESTY IN ALL PLACES."— Judge Bayley. Printed and Published by JAMES ACXAND ( SOLE PROPRIETOR ANB EDITOR; at No. 4, AU. Saints'street, Bristol^ lected together to create mutiny on the Sab- bath morning ; here was Acland in the aatnp of Israel— what will covetousness not do in order to protect the golden wedge and the Babylonish garment— the truck system that turns in the masters' pockets 40 per cent — This system has proved very beneficial to TafFey- head Tommy Shopman— he was as thin as a herring when he came here to con- duct this nefarious system, but he now car- ries a hea\ vy corporation with him— he has now forgot how to eat skim cheese and plank bread. i| You gave the inhabitants of the Abbey great satisfaction ana they would be glad to hear you a second time, even those that weie • gathered to oppose you I was very happy to see the multitude paying the gteatest attri- tion to your discourse— every one seemed to swallow the words as they dropped f^ om you'' MOUTH. What can the despot say now to his men for this base ingratitude of their's towards their masters— but with Balak,— Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel." All the congregation loved you and praised your discourse to the greatest extent with the exception of two ruffians, who spoke a word or two, saving our master is a good master— who were these men ? one was a wood- chopper, a theoretical not practical in that branch, formerly under the late Com- pany he was a gapper over carpenters, but now, under the present proprietors, he is reduced to almost day labourer, and looks worse than greasy Roger ; the other day his wife kicked up a row in the truck- shop, and he was called to an account for it, and it was rumoured that he had notice to quit— this man had no reason to praise his master I am sure— he must be a man of no brains to do so, and every person in the neighbourhood knows him to be a self conceited fellow and destitute of common sense The other ruffian was the tommy- shop's hobby boy or the dusty miller— his master's hypocritical man, the shopman's dishclout, bloom- man to S'A eep the house, water boy, ashes carrier, or in a few words, a man of all work, one that curses his master behind his back and tells tales of him— he told me that his master comes to his house of a Sunday morning, before he goes to church to see what joint of meat he has for dinner, afid whether he is burning any of iiis wood or chips— he also has said in public houses, that on a Still• day last summer, visitors came to his master, that he was sent round the houses to look for some meat but could get none, and that he was then sent to the mill to get some bacon. Surely this man ought to bt: silent— bi) t fools will be meddling. It is very rematkable that amongst so great a multitude of people congreg,. ted together there should be no more than one Cain and one Judas after so much pains and activity had been used to collect them together— and after all for the men to refuse to do the un- derlings or their masters any service— did net this speak volumes to the world ? I ask in the name of all things, is this the conduct of a Christian to employ li s underlings to go forth in his name on a Sunday morning ro collect assassins, it at once speaks the con- duct of a despot. I assure you; Sir that your sermon has done a deal of good to the inhabitants of Abbey— your name will long be remembered, but 1 am sorry to tell you that Pharoah's heart is as hard as ever— if what has been done will not soften it, you must try othet means— that is, you must fine the Tom MY J Shop for that " pernicious practice," as the law calls it. i 166 The despot has sent one of his underlings, Mr. Crack- wire, to forbid the aged paient speaking to his child, upon pain of bring immediately discharged, and all his sons that are employed in the works as well— in short none of the family must speak to one certain individual ; is this all that he can do in order to carry on his oppression— this is no other than to make the innocent to suffer for the want of proper means of revenge— this is the wolf in sheep's clothing— this is him that the scripture speaks of, " have we not prophesied and cast out devils in my name." We go to phurch twice of a Sunday and pray morning and evening, and we teach the chddren in the Sunday School twice a day— the answer is, I know you not— depart from me, ye workers of iniquity— go back to York. I remain, Sir, Your humble servant, Abbey, Feh, 1830. A Neighbour. MEM.— Those who can oppresss poor men in their employ in the manuer pursued by the firm in ques- tion, must be lost to ail the noble feelings of human nature and are morally capable of every act of mean- ness or turpitude, which the desire of money can gen- erate. But the Tommy Shop system must be put down and will be put down— and that speedily. J. A. To the EDITOR of THE BRIaToLlAN. Sir, Having read several of your papers of a late date. 1 am much pleased to observe that yon dare attack Parsons as well as Lawyers, I therefore hope when you visit Newport you will oblige the good people by giving their worthy Vicar a call to learn the reason for his wishing at the present time lo rise the Tithes in his Parishes ( for he has three I believe,) when he must be aware that the Farmers cannot without ( in many cases) selling the produce of their farms at a great sacrifice to enable thgpi to meet their present payments, if he thinks it is not dangerous to persist in doing it let him lookto the fate of poor Parson Parker of Odingly, and reflect whether it is not so; and whether it will not be safer to content with what he now re- ceives, and that fordoing very little. Perhaps when you are there you will have occasion to look into the character and Conduct of Protheroe's Partner, Tom Phillips alias '' Young Gag" I assure you he is worthy of his teacher and ready for any dirty work. I am Sir, Your's& c. S. S. Newport March 6th 1830. MEM :— 1 will very shortly devote my particular attention to the renovation of this degraded Town, meanwhile, I entreat all such communications as may tna^ e me to be servicabls to its oppressed Inhabitants. 1. THE BRISTOLIAN To Mr. JOHN OLLIS, Pork Butcher, Shoe Maker, Shopkeeper of KEYNSHAM. SIR, Some time ago I took up Ihe cause of a poor man named John Tovey of Brisling- ton, to whom you stand indebted in the amount of £ 3 Is. 0d. being a balance due to him on the purchase of a pig. I called on you with the said J. T. hoping to find you honest enough to pay the amount due, hut finding the reverse, I solicited a space in the columns of the Bristolian, to give publicity to the circumstances attending his case, together with the disgraceful reception he met with on asking for what is due to him. Now, Sir, I am given to understand that the exposition of your conduct in print has given you offence and occasioned an enquiry by you as to who I am, at the same time offering a re- ward of 10s. to the person who would inform you, and accompanied with a threat '' that you would stick me like a pig if you could find me out." In the first place, I beg to inform you I fear not your ' butcher like' threat— sesondly If you have 10s. to dispose of, I think honesty says pay it to the poor man in part payment for his pig, and thirdly, that by so doing, you may dis- cover who I am, as I have given John Tovey full power to give you the required information upon paying him the 10i. on account of the amount due to him taking upon myself the threatened consequences. T. W. R. MEM :— The dishoneit debtor had better render to Cesar that which is Cmsar' 3 than threaten to murder the impartial advocate of the poor creditor he has wronged. 1. A. To the EDI l Olt of THE BIUSTOLIAN. SIR, I observe from your publication that you have been oveihauling the Duke of Beaufort, aud his Agents, respecting the Tolls of the Chepstow Market, when you have done with these great folks, I know of no one more dessrv- ing the lash of your pen than Mr. Ormerod of Stdling Park, you will hardly credit me when I tell you, lie has been mnoting this winter from 15 to 30 acres of wood land, and notwith- standing the very severe winter his neighbouring poor had to encounter with, he refused giving them any of the wood lor firing when they asked him, hut has actually burnt the whole of it himself. Mr. Ormerod's conduct to Mr, William Lenes, has been equally bad, by turn ing him out of his little farm, without assigning any reason for his unmanly conduct, although Mr. Lenes holds the land until the first of May, and is unconscious of ever having offended Mr, Osmond, yet he would not suffer Mrs. Lenes to. remain a day in the farm- house, after the 2nd of February, but compelled her to turn out although she was so ill a « to be obliged to be removed in a chaise at the risk of her life, into a half finished cottage of her own. lam, Sir, Your's & c. A CHEPSTONIAN. Chepstow, March 1st. 1830. MEM ;— If any thing deadens the kindly affections of onr nature it is covetousness, and I therefore sup. pose Mr. Ormerod to be rich— rich enough to afford to be. heartless. Can there be a doubt of the im- provement of his nature by the visitation of Providence. Were his riches to make themselves wings— how deeply would he then feel for the distresses of others from an association wiih his own reduced circumstan- ces ! Truly indeed has it been said it is less difficult for a cable to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. It seems, hard- hearted man, that you have taken a leaf out of the book of " Copley, Browu St Sous," they burn their chip- wood, and thereby prevent their poor broken down half starved labourers from warm- ing their blood, which frost and hunger have chilled within their veins. You burn your underwood, ays, 15 or 20 acres of it, it seems to waste! and why? a similar reason— but both are Yotkshire Coves. Cal- lous hearted man'. is it thus you acknowledge your gratitude to Heaven for entrusting to your care a superabundance of the good things of this life— is it thus you obey the precepts of your Maker— why, Sir, from all I hear of you, I expect you begrudge the very dogs the crumbs that fall from their master's table— yet they tell me yon are a demure professor of religion. Do, pray, read the parable of our Saviour on the last day— learn from thence your duty as a man and a Christian towards your fellow- creatures ; aud take it from me that if you do not, aud practice it too, in a different way, far different from burning to waste, the wood that the poor needeth, a somewhat hotter than the fire you kindle in your fields, await- eth your arrival in a country from whence no tra- veller returns. Speaking of dogs— what is it I hear of your conduct towards the dogs of your neighbour? Neighbourlg Man! you shot them, sans ceremonie, if found by ac- cident upon your lands— you send no intimation tu your neighbonr to request he will let them be more vigilantly looked after— but, as if you delight in mis- chief, with a demure countenance, blow out their brains, thereby showing you have about as much natural re- gard for dogs as men. Is it thus you introduce yourself amongst a set of Strangers t If I recollect rightly, you boast of a line of ancestry from the Norman Conquest. Ormerod in Yorkshire you say, was called afier the Ormerods of Ormerod Hall— be it so Lord of Heraldry, but answer me a lew questions— THE BRISTOLIAN 1" 9. For what reasons did you turn your back upon the ashes of, your ancestors— your friends— connections — vour domicile— vour family burial place ? why fly from those to a spot that knows you not, and pick up a residence with strangers, whose habtis and maouers, and tastes, are directly opposed to your own? who have feelings for the wretched and the destitute, and who enjoy the social intercourse to which Ormerod ( query Nimrod) is a stranger ? J. A. ~ To the EDITOR of ihe BRISTOLIAN, Si » , Having been watching the progress of the ballot, and from the observation I have made, and the information I have obtained, the surprise with which 1 witnessed the majority in favor of Mr. Phillips, & c. the first day, has sunk with a wonder how it could be otherwise. Perhaps, Sir, you are not aware, lhat a regnlar system of canvas was entered into by the opposite party, as early as possible, under circumstances which would have given them a great advantage over you, had you adopted the same mode of pro- ceeding. Perhaps, neither Mr. Cossens or Mr. Smart has informed you lhat the names of the Shareholders were obtained by their party from the " Book of the Indemnification," the book which Mr. Tripp slunk off with from your office, and in which numbers of Shareholders have since wished to enter their names, in order that the share of their money held by the Roger Moore party, might be paid over to the Association, the book to which they refused you access in order to prevent your taking a copy that you might know who your Shareholders were; the book, which Mr. Tripp said should be brought to your office at least once a week, in order that any Shareholder might enter his shares therein but which in direct breach of good faith wai never forthcoming. Why did Mr, Henry Neyler give his name as one to sign the bond of indemnity, suffer the expences attendant on the signing the book to be incurred, and then flinch from the fulfilment of his contract, ask Mr. Tripp or Roger Moore ! 1 have digressed a little but will return, Phillips and his party having obtained from this book the names and residences of all those persons whose parchments had been punched, were enabled to pounce upon them without dificulty which they did and by representing you as a public robber, and by way of proof exhibiting the placard, they had not been afraid to print, prevailed upon many ( who are now sorry for it) to vote for them, Sir, I rejoice that you are about to bring them to a public tribunal to answer for their infamous and wikced publications, such scoundrels ought to be hooted from society, and while I deprecate their conduct, I assure you I hare a better opinion of you if possible than I ever had, for their being obliged to resort to lies and false statements in order to vend their malignant spiie against 5 convinces me that if the truth would hurt you, they would tell truth; but the Ballot is not yet closed and when it does, should i be in their favor I hope you will not let it pass without a scrutiny, for I have my suspicions, that their large majority at ihe pre- sent moment has not been obtained without some underhand or improper course. Perhaps as they talk of joining the Union in case they are successfull, Mr. Salter or Mr. Essex may have punched a few Shares in order to encrease their votes, such things are possible, and in my opinion very probable, therefore Sir, in justice to those who support the Directors, you must have a scrutiny, only appoint between you proper persons to superinten it. I d aie fay we have had too much foul language, and foul play from them to be juggled out of our rights, be firm Sir, and you will meet with the support of all those who can sign themselves as I do, an advocate for " Honesty in all Places" and A SHAREHOLDER. To DOCTOR TILL, alias DOCTOR SCAMP, alias DOCTOR EVANS Of Chepstow. SIR, There are person* who pity you; others who detest you ; a third class who nei- ther pity nor detest, but think you unworthy - of the shot I fire at you— perhaps of the three parties, the latter party is the nearest the right mark at which public feeling has arrived, still Doctor Till, alias Doctor Scamp, alias Doctor Evans, I ask you, which of us deserves the title " Scamp ?" Before I had heard of your propensities, you applied this term to me. I now retort it On you, and tell you that when you scampered off fiom Gloucester, for reasons as- signed in my last, it was you, because the Scamp— and oil that account, if no other pre- sented itself to ray consideration, you will de- serve the title for the remainder of your days. More auon, Your's & c. JAMES ACLAND. To GEORGE COLLIS, Formerly a Harness Maker in Redcliff- Street, and now a Stationer in North- Street. SIR, By your first wife you have had two children now living— two boys of from 14 to 16 years of age— the elder one is now in the new Gaol, and the other is living with a Mrs. Edwaids in Thomas- Street, who, out of respect to your first wife, takes care of her orphan at a remuneration of one shilling per week from you for board maintainance and clothing. Have you ever admitted these poor boys under your roof since your second marriage? j Had you done your duty to the elder, would he now have been in prison ? Had y « u possessed ihe natural feeling of a father would your second sun now be living in charity ? Yet you can build houses at Baptist Mill*— albeit you can refuse biead to your little ones ! Verily the opposition of such beings as your- self is honorable to the object of your puerile" enmity. JaMES ACLAND. CONUNDRUMS! Why is Roger Moore like the Ursine Seal ? Because he takes to the- water when frightened. What did Salter most resemble when Chairman in the Committee ? A Bandit Chief, plotting in concert with his ruthless crew the downfal of Society. Why is Alloway like the Sexton of Saint James's ? Because he is often in a Bone repository. Why is Wadham Cole like a yelping cur ? Because he's partial to Horse- flesh and fears the " Whip." Why is Roger Moore like a- Nightingale ? Because he's a Maggot Chopper. Why is Collis of North Street like the Dead body of a man who has suffered by the hands of the Executioner? Because he has " twisted Ropes." Why is Mr. Farr like a celebrated poem by Cam pell. Because he is the Inst Man. Why is a certain Ex- CcmmitteeMan like a raven ? Because he has lived by preying oil the car- cases' of the dead. What kind of robber is most abhorred ? He who robs the dead bodies of the brave who are slain in the field of battle. What Fowl of the air does Cossens most re- semble ? A Jack Daw— all talk— and no substance, 1 o the EDITOR of THE- BRISTOLIAN. Sir, Union is strength, and it appears to me the roost likeliest means of puUing an end to dis- union would be - to reimburse the whole of the members of the association that have not signed the Book t> f the Constitution and turn them a drift, or let them peaceably withdraw, and I should hope, the Committee of Seventeen ( so called) who holds the sum of ,£ 1900 the pro- perty of the Shareholders, will unhesitatingly give it up on that condition. The business ofthe association may then be superintertded by you, without being clogged by dissension or disunion but an objection may be stated, if that is done the number of Shareholders will be lessi ned, but is it not more than likely that you may be able to sell Five 1 housand Shares, after the association is peaceably and permanently es- tablished ? if you should think proper to do so? another objection may be stated— if this be done, the capital ot the Association will be re- duced : but may not this deficiency be soen 4- 2 THE BRISTOL AN made up by the sale cf new share?. I )- rrsume *, ne expences attending the Association was trifling, previous to the disunion taking, place, on that account I consider it will be consistent with justice to reimburse rbe discontented part in full, and I should hope the whole of the pur- chases made on the behalf of the association will be readily given up. Hoping the above will meet your approbation, I remain, Sir, Your - humble servant, J. E. A Shareholder' MEM ;— T give this letter insertion because I think the . Shareholders in the 15, 15. A. are entitled to every suggestion from one of their body wbicn may enable them to decide on the important question now at issue. There is no doubt of the eventual attainment of all the good originally anticipated in the formation of this Association— but it seems we are to pay a high price for that good. 1 trust, however, that such price' will uot be au unreasonable premium. J. A. To the EDITOR of the BRISTOLlAN. SIR, In your Bristoiian of Wednesday last you observed that I was one of the late Com. mittee of the Bristoiian Bread Association, and that I had said you had no right to sus- pect me and my coadjutors to be rogues. I was one of that Committee, and there can. not be a doubt but the favorable opinion of the Shareholders will continue me one in despite of your opinion, however sincerely felt by vou or not, of my fitness and that of mv colleagues, for the trust reposed in us. 1 will venture to say, the Shareholders have not misplaced their confidence; and although at one time I felt most anxious to resign my station in that Committee, I now feel I am bound bv every tie that can bind an honest m;> n, namely, gratitude, still to continue in their service, having so earnestly pressed me to act for them, and I pledge my character and 1 fe to discharge honestly and to the best of my abilities the duties of my office, as Coramittee- Man ; and 1 dare vou to prove, that since you have known me as your col- league, you ever perceived in any part of my conduct the least disposition to act other- wise. You, Sir, feel tender when your con- duct and character is impeached, but you have no feelings for the innocent victims who smart under the lash of malignance and misrepresentations. Your paper of Saturday requires me to give an answer to the several queries it contains. Th? nk God I can do so without lessening myself in the estimation of my friends or any man living to be an honest man.— I boast and there is no one that can dare assert with truth, I am otherwise. Now then to your Queries— Ist — Were you some time since a Member of the Swedenborgian connexion ?— I was. 2d.— Was not a Collection made towards . building a Chapel ?— There was. 3d.— Was not the amount insufficient for that purpose >— It was. 4th.— Was it not decided that it shquld be transferred to the Missionary service?— Jt was not. 5th.— Was not ,£ 150 of the amount col- lected in vour hands ?— Never. Gth— Have you yet devoted a fraction of such sum to the purpose for which it was voted by the subscribers ?— This may be answered by my stating as above, it was never in my hands. Thus, Sir, I have answered your Queries— and if a man's character is to be left in vour mere ful hands, were by insi- nuations dark and obscure representations, it may suffer in the opinions of those who are gnorant of the party. I will bid you adieu with this caution— never atlack a man whose character have stood high among those who well knows him, and knows too well how to appreciate honesty in all places, than to be. lieve the insinuations to my discredit you would wish to raise. I am, Sir, your's, JAMES FARR. Host- street, March 2, 1880 MEM ;— Wiil Mr. Farr say how much money he now holds as Trustee of the Swedenborgian Society — bow much of what he holds was collected for the purpose of erecting a chapel— for what purpose it was subsequently voted— and whether it has or has not been applied to such purpose. 1 ask these questions at the desire ot several who contributed to the fund in question— and whether Mr. Farr likes it or not, I shall discharge my duty. Ooe of the contributors informs me that you promised at the time that if ibere should not be sufficient funds raised for building the chapel the money would be re- turned. If such promise was made— it certaiitly bas not been fulfilled. But Mr. Farr piates about BONESTT! Does he think that honesty consists simply iu the abseucc of his fingers from the pockets of others and the presence of a puritanic appearancc ? If so, he is but a mawk- ish metaphysician— aud I beg to inform him that" from my own knowledge he is not that which he pro- fesses to be when he lays claim to so exorbitant a share of immaculacy. He has allowed his coadjutor Mr. Phillips to promulgate that which he knows to be false respecting. myself. Should uot honesty have dictated to him the propriety of a public dissent to such lying charges ( lated as they were and distributed as they were from the Committee- Room ( as it is called), and he being one of the body styling itself J- A. above Association, holden on the 12th ultimo, at the Tailors' Hall, Broad- Street, pursuant to public notice thereof as the Board of Manage- ment, and of another Met ting holden at the same place on the 4th of March instant, for taking a pole of the Shareholders intended in the above Association, by way iff' ballot, lxrely demund a scrutiny of the votes or bedlot so taken in pni- suance of such Meeting at the two places their named— viz.
