I went to work at the cotton factory [...] at the age of nine. I was then a fine, strong, healthy lad. I had [...] two shillings per week, for seventy-two hours work. I continued to work in this factory for ten years [...] I gradually became a cripple, till at the age of nineteen I was unable to stand at the machine, and I was obliged to give it up. The total amount of my earnings was about 130 shillings, and for this sum I have been made a miserable cripple [...] and cast off by those who reaped the benefit of my labour, without a single penny.
