MANCHESTER, Mc 24. At the New Bailey Gut-house this day, twelve spinner. lately in the employ of Messrs. Jenkinson and flow—naniely,William Beswick,Thoreas Davies, Hugh Davies, Wil jam Morris, John Cunningham,— Ken , nett., Henry Birch, Jsmes Barker, -- *cosh, Richard Hodson, John Howarth, arid Roger Sharpies, were brought up upon warrant, for leaving their employment without notice. Mr. Thomson attended to prefer the complaint. It appeared that in the month of September la‘t Nlessrs. Jenkinson and Bow. by their manager, intimated to all their hands that they would require a fortnight's notice before any of them should leave, and they undertook to give a similar notice on their part before turning off any of their men. These conditions were agreed to by all the workmen, including the pri soners; but on Friday morning last, Birch and Morris, MO of their number, vent to the manager and told him that they intended to leave unless their wages were in creased. The manager said he should require a fort night's notice. according to the agreement ; but this thay refused to give, stating, that as the agreement had not been ;educed to vi rating,it was not binding. The manager then requesied them to see Mr. Jenkinson on the sub ject; but they said that they could n do any thing beyond what they had done without the permission of the club. It appears that the same men afteiw aids went to Mr. Jenkinson, and informed him c f their in tention to leave, stating as their reason that these Gen tlemen did not give the town's prices, and that they had supplied weft to Messrs. Williams and Co. whose bud s tinned out about ten days ago. Mr. Jenkinson at tempted to reason with the men, and told them that at all events he should require a fortnight's notice before they left. The men, however, left their work the same evening. Or, the following day (Saturday). some of the men, among whom was the prisoner Howarth, vent to the mill to clean their mules. On that occasion Howarth said to Priestly, the manager, " I suppose the master intends to have us at the New Batley to-day." Priestly said he did not know ; upon which Howarth said, tg Well, we'll have to serve our time in the New Bailey, as the other spinners in the town won't let us continue at our work." -The pri.oners said in their own defence, that they coisidered Messrs. Jenkinson and Bow to have them selves broken the c o n tract, by discharging without notice a man who was sick, and therefore they did not conceive it to be any longer binding. Mr. WRIGHT said, that if they bad any ground of complaint against their masters, they should have ap plied to the Magistrates, who would have given them redress; but it was not to be suffereJ that they should take the law into their own hands, and throw their master's business at a stand, upon a moment's notice. Eleven of the prisoners were then committed to pri son- with hard labour for three months each; and Samples, who had been compelled by the others to turn out contrary to his own inclination, was liberated, at the desire of Mr. Jenkinson, on his promise to smut to his work. Abut ten days ago the spinners of Messrs. Williams, of Piccadilly-mill, turned out fur advance of wage:. It appears that in this town wages have varied from Ii J. to 211 per pound for 40's ; whi!e io the country, the mules ire smaller, and eisrefore the work less lu crative. the price is in some instances as low as The sate demanded by the spinner is two pence half penny, being, on the medium price of tao pence, an advance rit not less thane 25 per coot. It is no &At true that the pt ices of provisions are greatly ael vanceil, and therefore the situation of the spinners, in common with tha of other classes of operatives, is de te,iorated. But we believe there scarcely ever v as' a time e hen the ma- ens were carrying on a le SI) prefit te,le vade, and ;her toe that the) should be able to :afford such an advance, is out of the question. Messrs. Jetikinsoo and Boviebad been paying their men *d. per lb. to , 40's and the demand of the men was that they should be raised to 2i We understand that when the workmen of Me•ses.Williams and Co. (power-loom ma ru'attiiiers as well as spinners) turned out, they had in ny °Mini shed warps in theloems,whichwould rot if not speedily woven out. They, therefore, applied to Messrs. Jenkinson rid Bow, to sell them the weft necessary to complete toe work. A number of skips of weft were actor .!irgly sold by Messrs. Jenkinson and Co. to Messrs. Williams, and the •pinners of the former had actually the assurance to state it as one of their induce ments to turn out, Vat they had dated to supply weft to Messrs. Williams, whose hands had thought proper to leave their employ. For whatever difficulty the journeymen spinners who thus comport themselves mig'-t-tall into, they would deserve no pits ; but the misfortune is, that a much larger number of nineteen Fermi:a are involved in difficulty by their misconduct t The torn-out of forty spinoffs at Messrs Will auta's entirely deprives of employment at lesst 260 other' bend.; and the pteportions v ill be similar at other places. The mastrr spinners in Manchester think this den;ri.d for an advance of wages particularly Oflrta soitabie ; because. they s y, that without taking into cwicolati-n the rise now asked ter, coon./ power loom piniutacturets can al eady mak. their cloths from sd. t 0.6 I. per piece less than a similar avidity can he pro eucrd fns in this town—a difference which, in an Article that sells tan 85.6 J. is, it need Not be said, a serious one, POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION 110USIC. Anon= Cm' Curium or Cmernici.--Au elderly before Alden woman named Mars Mom, alias Wil t on, alias Sotomens. was charged man Fataassovsaa, with having assaulted sad obstructed Collins, the beadle of Ws'brook, in the execution of his duty. This case was rendered remarkable by being the Brit connected with the revival of a very old custom of the City of London, este blished for the punishment of persons guilty of immoral conduct in houses of a certain description. The City Solicitor attended for the prosecution. Ile stated that as it was Impossible to c alculate with certainty upon the puni-li ments of the keepers cf notorious and dang erous brothels in the City of London, and as numerous complaints had been lately made against the owners of such houses, by wow of the most respectable families, it had been at length determined to resort to the ancient and excellent custom of carting these who frequented such places fur immoral purposes--(Loud laughter). It was mentioned hi one of the City records. that " a lewd woman may be pursued it she be in company with a man lot wrong purposes, into a bu.vie of ill repute, and betaken therefrom and carted throueb the streets, and that her male compaitiou in such wr rag doing, of whatever sir tree, may be also apprehended, and carted likewise." Collins deposed, that having received his orders, he kept his eye upon the house in question. A girl addressed hint in the street and invited him to a house in Shelbornedane, Walbrook: lie told her to go on and he would billow her. She forthwith led the way, and walked up stairs. lie also went in, but before he reached the landing place, the defendant :totted out or the parlour, wised hint by the collar, dragged him down, and called fur the poker. Ile immediately .hewed her his staff—(Liughter). She still resisted — (Continued laughter)—called him by the moot opprobrious palsies. and he left the house. Mr. Harmer. who attended for the defendant, said, that the beadle could have expected no ether treatment. Mts. Moss con. lectured that he had an improper design upon the young *muss, and very properly Interfeeed. If It was the beadle's intention to enter not for pleasure, but for the purpose of apprehending parties, he should have brought his warrant. The City Solicitor said, that Mr. Ilarmer was quite mistaken in that respect. The beadle hid a right to pursue patties whb were in houses of the kind upon " disorderly business"—(laughter). and to take them into custody without a warrant, and any one who in terfered was punishable at the Quarter Sessioes. This was a cus. tont, certainly, peculiar to the Cit y of London. Mr. [farmer contended, that such a cif-loin had fallen into de suetude, and was worth nothing. No man had a tight to enter a a house without a warrant to search for petsiais. The Alderman asked whether the defendant wished to give any account of the matter? Mrs. Moils—Your Vorship, I didn't like to see Mr. Colliath,what every one knows has a Large family, go along with a duberout cha racter. I considered Ib thelt el a wile, and I knows the bionics of a roman, and I wouldn't let hint do nu such thing—(l.augliter) Collins, who could nut help j , . ee 11l g in the laugh, stated, that sons time afterwards' he " pursued" a Gesolentati and a female to the same house, aod upon g. iug after them, hp waits, he was natio ' seied. in a very rough 111.111111 Cr, by the deteoil aft, to whom lie :lain ' showed his staff, but who gros.ll reviled I 111 l , and o.r e - s tetted hini with the poker. Mr. Hamer said, he real's• considered this most unwArtatit..hl , conduct. It was quite ridiculous to suppose th it a 111411 be justified in enterinz, a house 01 any tlesailitries otthoot au ate limit:. signed by a Magihn ate. The City Solicitot —I expect that the dstest.laun w dl lie iwileted to Bud bail. The house ih a dreadful stui..iiice, and carting is the only alternative left —( Laughter). Mr. 11.unter—Iluw did Mrs. Moss know that the couple were not man and wife? The City Sulti:itor—Nobody cast doubt the purpose fur which they *rent in. Alderman FA 11111110711 za oldet td the defendant to find bail, and in default cunindued her. It is stated that the car ting.system will be immediately adopted on a very general scale in the Cit. of London. and that the operatimi is as follows t—The delinquents are placed back to back in an open cart, and a piece of paper is pinned to the breast of each, stating the nature of their acne,. They are then to be driven at a slow pace to the City boundary, and when they arrive there the back board is to be removed, and they are both to be gently dtopped into the county. GUILDHALL. a..segesu.-1 1 1r. Thomas Reeves, Ward Clerk of Farringdon Without, attended before Mr. Alderman Assess, by desre of the Authorities of that Ward, to prefer an information against Mr. Jones, for contumaciously keeping open the Cheshire Cheese publc house, in Fleur de-Lis•coutt, Fleet-street, in the palish of St. Dunstan in the West. Mr. Reeves stated, that the bnuse in question had been the resort of bad company, and that the defendant had, in consequence, been unable to obtain the certificate from the local authorities to entitle him to his license from the Magistrates. The defendant pleaded " not guilty" to the information. James Hayes, a watchman, deposed. that be went to the house in question on the night of Saturday, the 291 h of November, and called fur a pint of beer, fur which be paid two pence halfpenny. lie was served by the prisoner, who acted as landlord, and he drank the beer in the house. The defendant said he was licensed, and produced a document to prove it ; but it turned out to be only the license from the Excise. Mr. Alderman ANSLIM said, that it was necessary that he should also be licensed at the Quarter Sessions, or before two giurates. The defendant replied, that he had not yet been able to take up his freedom and to procure his oat( r license, in corm quence of the neglect of his broker ; but he should be able to do so soon. The Worthy Alderman said, that the present charge was not for carrying un business, not being a freeman, but for selling beer to be consumed in the house without a license, the penalty for which was from AS to ,C2O, at the discretion of the Magistrates. Mr. Reeves said, be bad other informations against Mr. Randell, which be should not bring forward it lie shut up the house, but othet wise be must press fur a penalty on each. On this occasion be should only ask for the lowest penalty, £s.—The defendant was convicted accordingly. Mr. Reeves then laid a similar information against Mr. Jobe Bates, of the Greyhound, in Smithfield. Mr. Reeves stated, that the license of this house was stopped on account of its having been charged with being the lemon of thieves; 1 yet that the defendant persisted in keeping it open. and the Ward authorities bad therefore directed him to lay this information. Mr. Bates denied that any thieves or bad characters (requested Ibis house; and asserted that it was used by none but the most re spectable people, u be bad an abundance of witnesses to prove. Mr. Reeves then desired Jackson, the beadle, to state what was the test& of his inquiries of the people to whom the defendant re• leered him respecting his character. 1 1 Jackson said be had learned, that the defendant bad lost the li lame of a former house through improper conduct. Mr. Bates desired Jackson to give the name of his informant; lbw Mr. Alderman Assuir said hr was nut bound to disclose it. The defendant totally pleaded guilty to the charge, and was Stied hi the mitigated penalty of 51. and promised to remove all objection to the renewal of the license within a fortnight. BOW—ST it RET. Yesterday Nathaniel Delatourt was brought up on a charge eir having broken into the shop of Mr. Owen, a butcher, In Fitaropi triarket. The prosecutor stated that be was awoke at as early hour on ThUrsday morning, by souse boys, who told hint that his shop had been broken open. lie immediately dressed himself. and on going the shop, be found that several hied quarters and two or three loins of mutton bad been stolen. The shop had been safely locked the night before, and was full of meat, but the prosecutor could not swear more particularly to any other part of his property. A piece of beef, which had been placed on the block the night pre vious, was found on the door just ready to carry away. An officer deposed that he went with the prosecutor and a boy mimed Smith, to a house in Tottenham. street, Tottenham-court read, where the prisoner lived, and they found a loin of mutton lying on the table, which the prosecutor swore to as being his pro perty. The prosecutor stated that he knew the loin of muttun be cause it had been chopped uff, instead of being divided with a saw ; and it was rather a curious circumstance that be had never cut any `Meat in such a way before during the course of his business. Thel 'boy Smith on seeing the prisoner, pointed him out to witness as the man whom he had seen in the prosecutor's shop. • The prosecutor unattested, that a neighbour bad told him be had seen a cart at his door ready to take away the meat, but be had not seen it himself. The prisoner in his defence said, that he was a hawking botcher, and that be bought the meat of a man with whom be had often had similar dealings, and gave Lint three &dings for it. He then entered into rather a rambling story of the transaction, and con eluded by saying that he was sure the prosecutor could not s• in demnify" his property. The prisoner was remanded for the production of bulbar eel. deuce. Yesterday, as one of the drays belonging to an inter-1 mediate ate hriwery was passing through Noble-street.
