Document A: Dr. Ward (Modified)
Michael Ward was a doctor in Manchester for 30 years. His practice treated
several children who worked in Manchester factories. He was interviewed about
the health of textile factory workers on March 25, 1819, by the House of Lords
Committee. The exchange below is an excerpt from the interview.
Question: Give the committee information on your knowledge of the
health of workers in cotton-factories.
Answer: I have had frequent opportunities of seeing people coming
out from the factories and occasionally attending as patients. Last
summer I visited three cotton factories with Dr. Clough of Preston and
Mr. Barker of Manchester, and we could not remain ten minutes in
the factory without gasping for breath…
Question: What was your opinion of the relative state of health
between cotton-factory children and children in other employments?
Answer: The state of the health of the cotton-factory children is much
worse than that of children employed in other manufactories.
Question: Have you any further information to give to the
committee?
Answer: Cotton factories are highly unfavorable, both to the health
and morals of those employed in them. They are really nurseries of
disease and vice.
Question: Have you observed that children in the factories have
particular accidents?
Answer: When I was a surgeon in the infirmary, accidents were very
often admitted to the infirmary, through the children's hands and arms
having being caught in the machinery; in many instances the
muscles, and the skin is stripped down to the bone, and in some
instances a finger or two might be lost. Last summer I visited Lever
Street School. The number of children at that time in the school, who
were employed in factories, was 106. The number of children who
had received injuries from the machinery amounted to very nearly
one half. There were forty-seven injured in this way.

Document B: Dr. Holme (Modified)
Edward Holme was a physician who lived in Manchester England during the first
half of the nineteenth century. He was an active member various academic
societies and associations and a well-regarded doctor. In 1818, he was
interviewed by the House of Lord’s Committee about health conditions of
factories. The exchange below is an excerpt from the interview.
Question: How long have you practiced as a physician in
Manchester?
Answer: Twenty-four years…
Question: Has that given you opportunities of observing the state of
the children who are ordinarily employed in the cotton-factories?
Answer: It has.
Question: In what state of health did you find the persons employed?
Answer: They were in good health generally. I can give you
particulars, if desired, of Mr. Pooley’s factory. He employs 401
persons; and, of the persons examined in 1796, 22 were found to be
of delicate appearances, 2 were entered as sickly, 3 in bad health,
one subject to convulsions, 8 cases of scrofula (tuberculosis): in good
health, 363.
Question: Am I to understand you, from your investigations in 1796,
you formed rather a favorable opinion of the health of persons
employed in cotton-factories?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Have you had any occasion to change that opinion since?
Answer: None whatever. They are as healthy as any other part of the
working classes of the community….
Question: Who applied to you to undertake the examining of these
children in Mr. Pooley’s factory?
Answer: Mr. Pooley.

Document C: John Birley (Modified)
John Birley was born in London in 1805. He lost both his parents by the age of 5,
and he was sent to the Bethnal Green Workhouse. He soon began working at the
Cressbrook factory. John was interviewed about his experiences as a child
worker at the Mill in 1849. An article on his life was published in the newspaper,
the Ashton Chronicle in May 1849. Below is an excerpt from the article.
Our regular (working time) time was from five in the morning till nine
or ten at night; and on Saturday, till eleven, and often twelve o'clock
at night, and then we were sent to clean the machinery on the
Sunday. No time was allowed for breakfast and no sitting for dinner
and no time for tea. We went to the mill at five o'clock and worked till
about eight or nine when they brought us our breakfast, which
consisted of water-porridge, with oatcake in it and onions to flavor
it... We then worked till nine or ten at night…
Mr. Needham, the master, had five sons: Frank, Charles, Samuel,
Robert and John. The sons and a man named Swann, the
over looker, used to go up and down the mill with sticks. Frank once
beat me till he frightened himself. He thought he had killed me. He
had struck me on the temples and knocked me dateless. He once
knocked me down and threatened me with a stick. To save my head I
raised my arm, which he then hit with all his might. My elbow was
broken. I bear the marks, and suffer pain from it to this day, and
always shall as long as I live…
I was determined to let the gentleman of the Bethnal Green parish
know the treatment we had, and I wrote a letter put it into the Post
Office… Sometime after this three gentlemen came down from
London. But before we were examined we were washed and cleaned
up and ordered to tell them we liked working at the mill and were well
treated. Needham and his sons were in the room at the time. They
asked us questions about our treatment, which we answered as we
had been told, not daring to do any other, knowing what would
happen if we told them the truth

Document D: Edward Baines (Modified)
Edward Baines was a newspaper journalist and editor for the Leeds Mercury
Newspaper. In the 1830s, he was elected to Parliament, and served there as a
political liberal. Although Baines supported the end of slavery and various
political reforms, he opposed legislation regulating factories and extending voting
rights to the English working class. These are excerpts from his book History of
the Cotton Manufacture in Great Britain.
Above all, it is alleged that the children who labor in mills are
often cruelly beaten by over lookers, that their feeble limbs become
distorted by continual standing and stooping, that in many mills they
are forced to work thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen hours per day, and that
they have not time either for play or for education.
Factory Inspectors who have visited nearly every mill in the
country have proved that views mentioned above of labor in factory
mills contain a very small portion of truth. It is definitely true that
there have been instances of abuse and cruelty in some factories.
But abuse is the exception, not the rule. Factory labor is far less
injurious than many of the most common jobs of civilized life.
The human frame is liable to an endless variety of diseases.
Many of the children who are born into the world, and attain the age
of ten or twelve years are so weak, that under any circumstances
they would die early. Such children would sink under factory labor, as
they would under any other kind of labor, or even without labor.
I am not saying that factories are the most agreeable and
healthy places, or that there have not been abuses in them, which
required exposure and correction. It must be admitted that the hours
of labor in cotton mills are long, being twelve hours a day on five days
a week, and nine hours on Saturday. But the work is light, and
requires very little muscular exertion. It is scarcely possible for any
job to be lighter. The position of the body is not injurious: the children
walk about, and have opportunity to sit down frequently if they want
to. On visiting mills, I have noticed the coolness and calmness of the
work-people, even of the children, whose attitudes are positive and
not anxious or gloomy.
