In • vols., at all Libraries, BIRDS OF PREY.- EXI>EIII.IIENTS AT SIIOEBURYNESS. Tile late trials of the 15-inch American gun and the English rifled mountain gun for the Abyssinian expedition have been full of interest. The heaviest smoothbore and the lightest rifled gun in England were fired on Thursday and Friday side by side. The experiments with the American gun have not led to any desire on the part of English artillerists to adopt the system, but we hasten to admit that the huge Rodman is a magnificent gun of its kind, and shows a progress in the manufacture of cast-iron which does the gallant officer who has devoted himself to that branch of artillery science infinite credit. It is curious that both Ame rican and English pieces of heavy ordnance are show ing signs of far greater endurance than was foretold by their respective backers. When first the Rodman guns were issued for service, 601 b. of their service powder, whatever it may be called, was considered the highest charge that could be fired from it with safety, and that only for a few rounds. The Eng lish 9-inch gun in the same manner was allowed only 150 rounds, with its battering charge, and 400 rounds were named as constituting its probable life if the whole 150 battering charges were first used in it. Since then the Rodman has been fired at Fortress Monroe with 100 lb. of powder, and a like trial at Shoeburyness has shown that the feat can be re peated, but we have yet to learn how often with the same gun. One of our 9-inch rifled guns has stood 1,013 rounds, 680 of which were with battery charges, some as high as 501 b., and the gun, though much eaten away in the interior, is still capable of offence. Two other 9-inch guns have been fired 500 rounds each with battering charges, and are still in excel lent condition. We do not consider our 13-inch rifled gun a success, but it was fired several times with 1001 b. of strong English powder without burst ing, and when two shot struck near each other the second passed through the Hercules target, which is probably the strongest yet constructed. It is very necessary in the comparison of different artillery systems to distinguish between the many different questions involved. In the present almost international competition the principal questions are ---Ist. Racking v. punching; 21. Comparative pene tration; 3d. Rifled v. smooth bore guns; 4th. The material of which the national ordnance is to be made. The difference between gunpowder is hardly a question, because, though ours is stronger than the American, we do not claim any advantage in that re spect,but rather the contrary, for quick burning pow der is too severe on the gun. The name by which the American powder used in the late experiments is known to the United States authorities is hardly settled yet, for there are many gunpowders in their list, and though the present saint lc is not the largest mammoth powder, such as was meant when we were told that 50lb. of it only equalled in strength 351 b. of No. 7 cannon powder, neither does it appear to correspond with the size of grain laid down for this latter. It is perhaps something between the two, and its name is still uncertain. " American service powder" was the name used in contracting for it, and American service powder it is, of a strength one sixth less than English powder for heavy guns, whatever may be its exact title. No one at all acq'iaintei with the subject can deny, in , the face of all experiments made through out the world, that elongated shot are better calcu lated for penetration than round ones, nor did the Americans deny this when they first produced their heavy guns. They said that they did not wish to perforate or punch targets, but to smash them to pieces or " rack" them. Their ships were protected with "laminated" armour, by which is meant armour composed of several one inch plates Ltid upon each other and bolted together. This is a kind of structure easily shattered and even far more vul nerable to punching guns than solid plates or a lesser number of thicker plates. English constructors saw no difficulty in building ships that could not be racked by guns of the powers set forth in American publications, and the result of the late experiments has proved the truth of the assertion. It was only at close quarters and with charges of 601 b.—too much for continued firing, according to their own authorities—that officers were allowed to attempt to penetrate a strong ironclad ship. The contest be tween the advocates of racking and punching was hot, and we were unprepared for the vexation exhi bited throughout the United States when it was found their cast-iron and even our steel shot fired from their gun failed to penetrate the target. If penetra tion and not racking merely be now claimed for their guns the only points to be assured of are these. Is the average strength of a 15-inch gun sufficient to enable their naval and military authorities to au thorise the employment of 1001 b. charges, and, if so, will the projectiles which they use hold together long enough to get through when they strike ? A steel shot with 1,500 ft. of velocity will penetrate the Bin. plate and Warrior backing. A cast-iron shot may or may not, according to the excellence of its material. Probably,' but not certainly, it will penetrate. Certainly neither of them will perforate the Hercules. Sole Proprietor. Mr. R. R. BIGNET.L.

The LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMIRALTY hereby give notice that the arrangements for the ADMIS SION of PERSONS, not already in the Government ser vice, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Ma rine Engineering, as Admiralty Pupils, will, for the present year, be as follows: Candidates must not be less than 18 nor more than 21 years of ago, and must have served at least two years in private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin ciples and practices thereof. The pupils will be selected by competitive examination, the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned for each, are as follows : Marks. Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane trigonometry, and the elements of the differential and integral calculus 2,500 Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and hydrostatics Practical Shipbuilding, including laying-off (for shipwright's candidates only) 2,500 Practical Marino Engineering (for engineer candi dates only) 2'sooFrench Elements of Physics and Chymistry 750 English Grammar and Composition Geography and History No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number, either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering. The last four subjects, although counting in the com petition, will not be considered obligatory. Tho candidates who ine.y be selected will be treated, while attached to the school, in all respects as the Admi ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock yard apprentices, commencing at Is. 6cl. per day for six days per week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d. per day till it reaches 2s. per day; and in addition a sub sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week while away from their homes, either at the school or in the Dockyards. Six months of each year, viz., from November till May, will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining six months to active work and the acquirement of practical knowledge in the dockyards. It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of their course of study ; and they must rely on their own worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ ment in their subsequent career. The number of such pupils to be selected this year is ono shipwright and one engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds on which they consider themselves practically qualified, enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September. • The candidates should also state whether they wish to be examined as engineers or shipwrights. The examination will take place on the 23d September and three following days. By command of their Lordships, HENRY GORDON LENNOX. From the roar of the Rodman to the tiny ringing voice of the mountain gun is a great downward jump, but the little steel piece is soon to do its duty in actual war, unless wise and peaceful counsels pre vail at last in Abyssinia. Steel, while treacherous in large masses, from the difficulty of casting and working it equally, is a perfect, though rather ex pensive, material for small guns, and has been wisely chosen for mountain service. The carriage is also of steel, except the wheels, and nothing could be simpler than its general construction. It stood the force of recoil very well generally, though the wheels suffered a little from the recoil of the piece when fired at high angles of elevation. This mite of a gun, which a man might easily carry in his arms, for it weighs only 1501 b., sent its pretty little 71b. projectile 2,944 yards, or more than a mile and two thirds, with a charge of 6oz. of powder and an ele vation of 32 deg. Such long-range work is not, however, likely to be required of it, but rather shrap nel practice at ranges up to 1,000 yards, or less. At 500, 520, and 540 yards more than half the bullets in the shrapnel shell struck a target repre senting a column of men. With ioz. of powder and the same elevation the projectile ranged 478 yards. The recoil, which was very lively when full charges were used, was brought under control by hobbling the carriage, a small rope being fixed from the point of the trail to one of the wheel spokes. The so-called 64-pounder gun converted on Pal liser's principle proved its value on Thursday by sending its shells through the Warrior plates, break ing once out of three rounds through the skin and setting the woolen backing on fire. The charge was 161 b., range 500 yards. The 8-inch converted gun did even more work at 70 yards' range, and angle of about 2G deg. to the face of the target. The first round at 30 deg. angle set the target on fire, the second at nearly 26 deg. passed through all, bursting just as it cleared the inner skin. Here are three instanus of the value of rifled guns. Shell , fire either penetrates the target opposed to these compa ratively light pieces, or sets the backing in flames. Let us once more put the state of the case before our readers. The smooth bored gun, with its service battering charge, and an expensive steel shot, fails to damage seriously a target which the rifled gun, less than two-thirds the weight of its antagonist, penetrates with shells of a chewer material. With an increased but dangerous charge the smooth bore will probably penetrate the target with shot, but never with shell. The rifled gun can be used in broad sides, the smoothbore only in turrets. Given the same weight of rifled gun, the effect will be much greater. If the material of which the guns are made be compared, we take the actual results obtained at Charleston, and fearlessly assert the superior strength of our ordnance, for the Federal pieces were de clared by Gen. Gihnore to be unable to fire 500 rounds with charges of only one-tenth the weight of the projectile. Our 9-inch rifled guns outlive many more than 500 rounds with charges of about one sixth the shot's or shell's weight. These are not opposing facts can be urged ies in b e u o t n f t a r a c d ts i , c tio n and , if th a e n y y are at least out of the bounds of our present experience, and we shall be glad to hear them. Such is the comparative power of the two systems of ordnance. The positive power of the Rodman with the powder lately fired is as follows : With 601 b. of powder its power is very low compared with its weight. With 1001 b. it can penetrate the sides of any ship afloat in the English navy, and the 8-inch target at 70 yards, the shot's energy being about 153 tons per inch of circumference. This supposes that the projectile is of steel. Cast iron may or may not break up according to its quality. At 700 yards it would pierce the Warrior, Lord Warden, or Belle rophon, but probably not the 8-inch target, certainly not the Hercules or Monarch now on the stocks. Its power at 700 yards are much inferior to the 10-inch rifled gun, with 1001 b. of English powder, at the same range, the difference being about 56 foot tons per inch of circumference. At no range whatever would the American gun, with 1001 b charge, perforate the side of the Hercules. These calculations aro based upon Capt. Noble's formula (which is in use in other countries besides England, Prussia for in stance ; and upon the known strength of the Eng lish targets). To complete the interest of the late experiments it would be well that the select com mittee should try targets on the American system and one of Krupp's heavy guns. It is very instructive to look back a little and see how short a time has elapsed since the object of ironclads was supposed to be the keeping out of shells. Mr. Whitworth's achievement when he fired a steel shell through the Warrior target rang through Europe, and now chilled shells with ogival heads have a power of penetration superior to that of shot. The 9-inch:gun sends its shells through the 8-inch target, and we know that no round shells from the 15-inch Rodman have a chance of piercing it, whatever may be the success of their shot. And then, be it remembered, this 15-inch gun weighs seven tons and a quarter more than the English 9- inch. Many honest inquirers who are watching the re sults of the trials may say—" There is something very odd about this matter. What is the virtue of the English gun that it can send its lighter projec tiles with lighter charges through a target that resists a far greater expenditure of ammunition on the part of the American gun ? Is it quite fair not to use chilled shot or shells which are so cheap and strong in both cases?" It is fair, and, indeed, it would be very unfair to the American gun to put chilled projectiles into it, and estimate its force by their effect. One chilled, or rather white iron shot, was fired from it at the 8-inch target, and did least damage of the three hurled against it on the same day, as would have been predicted beforehand by all who understand this not very abstruse question, while iron projectiles are very brittle, and are of little use unless they have sharp points, and are driven point foremost, which can only be done if the gun is rifled. The range at 32 deg. elevation and with 1001bs. charge was 7,680 yards, the initial velocity about 1,538 feet a second; 1,600 feet a secondhiesrspeed has acommon velocity for smooth-bores, and much higher been attained iu the wrought-iron guns constructed some years ago for the navy. The Rodman gun is probably too short to burn all the powder before the shot leaves the muzzle, and a further increase of charge would not give proportionate velocity. Sixty pounds gives 1,170 feet per second, 1001 b. only in creases it to 1,538 feet, quite enough, however, to force au entrance into any of our ships at present afloat if the range is short, and if the gun is fired at right angles to the side of the ship. The least angle will affect your round shot more than a pointed one, because the former will glance, while the latter digs iu its point and then turns at right angles to the target. This was well shown on Thursday last, when an 8-inch shell from a converted Palliser gun pierced the Warrior target at an angle of about 26 degrees, the weight of the shell being 1801 b., that of the charge 221 b. We hope that many interesting expe riments will yet be made with the American gun, and we sincerely congratulate Major Rodman on the excellence of his cast-iron, while we still adhere by preference to our own material, which is still stronger, especially for rifled guns, because grooves in a gun cast on Rodmau's method would vitally RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT VITHITE'S MOC-MAIN LEVER TRUSS (PERFECTED AND EXHIBITED IN THE GREAT EXHIBITIONS of 1851 and 1862), is allowed by upwards of rwo Hundred Medical Gentlemen to be the most effective Invention in the curative treatment of lIERN lA.

THE 111ANCHES7ER TRADES UNION INQUIRY. MANCHESTER, Sept. 9. FIFTH DAY. The proceedings opened at 11 o'clock. Mr. Commissioner Pickering said he wished to give notice that the Commission had possession of the Brickmakers' Society's box, and unless the keys were produced on Wednesday it would be broken open. George Harrop, inspector of police, at Droylsden, said he was on duty on the 28th of June, in 1862, and on duty with him was Constable William Jump at Smalishaw. Saw eight men going towards the Oldham-road. They bad sticks and staves, and some had masks on. It was 2 o'clock, and a dull morning. Before they came up they left the foot path and walked in single file. Asked the last but one what was the meaning of it. Told the man if he had done nothing wrong he need not be afraid. He called out " Now, men," and witness got hold of him by the collar. They then collected together. Saw Burke, who said something he did not under stand. Burke had a pistol and discharged it, catching witness over the right eye, and knocked his staff out of his hand. Two more shots were fired, one over his head and the other over his shoulder. Jump appeared to be engaged with the others. Witness had a struggle with three of them. He dropped one of the men and hit another, and hearing a discharge of firearms went towards Jump. He went to him and found him crouched down under the stile. He was shot in the breast. Salt for a doctor, and when the doctor came he was dead. Six men were taken, and Ward and Burke were committed at Liverpool Summer Assizes, con victed, and sentenced to penal servitude. Hipwell, Barlow, Ryan, and Tonle were acquitted. Two of the men, Dawson and Gregory, could not be met with. 'l'oule and Ryan were discharged by the ma gistrates. Further evidence turned up afterwards, but they could not be fomill. Barlow and Il.i pwell were there. Barlow turned Queen's evidence at the assizes. John Barlow told use two months ago he had been secretary at the time of this murder. Also told me he had been engaged some weeks with Thomas Harrison in getting up the evidence in that case in 1862. Heard afterwards that the men that night destroyed about 18,000 bricks at Joseph Clifford's brick croft, at Staleybridge. By Mr. Commissioner Pickering—Draylsden was in the Ashton district. Had heard masters complain that bricks could not be sold out of the district. By Mr. Bastow—Had learned since that the men apprehended were in Ashton Brickmakers' Union. John Toule—ln June, 18G2, was manager for Mr. Clifford. There was a quarrel at the time be cause Ciifford would not employ union men. Could not say the union had sent or threatened him be cause he would not employ union men. Left the premises on the 28th of June, 1862, about 9 o'clock. Found at 3 o'clock next morning that 18,000 to 20,000 bricks had been damaged. The damage would be about £7. By Mr. Chance—Examined the bricks and found seven or eight fo3tmark3. Frederick Hipwell, sworn, examined by Mr. Pickering, after a caution to make a full disclosure (in which case only he would have an indemnity)— Was at the time a brickmaker. In 1862 was a member of the Ashton Union. The meetings were held at the house of Ralph Barber, sometimes weekly and sometimes fortnightly. Thomas Harrison was the secretary. The books were kept at the same publichouse. Don't remember that there was a president, but there was a treasurer. Clifford's not employing union men was mentioned at the meetings, but could not say how long. It was not long before action was taken, he heard John Ward mention it. Henson and others were there. They met in a hat shop. He was a district man, but Clifford's yard was not in his district. John Ward and John Hen son summoned him to the meeting at the hat shop. They and lie were employed to warn people. Ward and Danson and Henson were present. It was at 10 o'clock on the night of the attack they met. He did not know what they were to receive, but should sup pose about £5 or £6. Never received anything. Might have engaged in a job of this sort without without stipulating what they should receive, trust ing that the usual rate would be paid. Never re ceived as much as £5 for himself or on behalf of others. They separated after agreeing where to meet. Near the Old Church John Henson and him self had some gin on their way. lie carried a stick and Henson a pistol. Thomas Barlow carried a stick. They were good serviceable sticks. Burke had a pistol, and Ward had one. Those who car ried pistols had sticks also. Got to Clifford's yard about 12 on the 28th of June. There was a police man at the kiln and two or three men with him. There were in the company Michael Burke, Thomas Barlow, Robert Ryan, John Tonle, John Henson, Gregory, and himself. The policeman and others at the kiln could not see them owing to the kiln fire and the darkness. They trampled on the bricks and destroyed about 18,000. In coming home we met with two policemen. Witness engaged with Har rop and threw a larg boulder stone at him. War d or Henson were to have paid him, but he did not get his. In November, 1861, an outrage took place at the house of John Tetlow, a master brickmaker at Ashton, who had offended by employing non- Union men—Henshaw, Barlow, Ward, Ryan, Scho field, and himself. Witness got a pound hinisM for that job. They met before going in the waggon road out of Charles-town to agree upon it. Henson warned him to come to the meeting, which was at a publichouse he could not remember the name of. That was the night they made the attack. It was the 6th of November, 1861. They were to bottle him. Witness had a bottle given him. They used gill bottles. The bottle contained naphtha and blasting powder, but - could not say as to whether they had slugs in them. They had fusees. They reached Tetlow's about midnight. He saw one bottle go through the windows of the bedroom Felton was supposed to be sleeping in. Four were thrown. He threw in his bottle through a window down stairs. Two of the combus tible bottles were thrown at the bedrooms. He heard one explode in the bedroom, or two. One man had a dark lantern, and the fusee was lit, and the bottle was then thrown. Did not know if Tetlow's bricks had been destroyed since. Knew of an outrage in November, 1861, at Newton Wood, in consequence of employing non-union men. Henson, and John Ward and himself, and Thomas Barlow and Charles Barlow, Robert Ryan, and Burke and John Tonle were employed for that. They met at Guide Bridge, and agreed to go and destroy the bricks. 'they had only sticks that night. Could not remember how many bricks were destroyed, but there was a good many. Could not remember what he was paid, but they all shared alike. Remembered the case at Dukinfield in 1865 at Blocksey's place. Himself and Thomas Barlow, Michael Burke, John Henson, and others to the number of eight, went there. Some of the men might have pistols in their pockets. They knocked down the walls and spoilt all the bricks they could. Was paid for that, and supposed the Union found the combustibles. Rememb ere d Srcithurst's case at the Guide Bridge. All th e me n who went were Union men. They were mostly the same men, and they destroyed as many bricks as they could. They were paid according to what they spoilt. Remem bered the case of Shepley at Hyde. John Ward and himself watched with John Henson outside the stable. John Ward took a razor, and he and Thomas Barlow went in. They had settled they should hamstring the horses. They came out and said they had done the job—hamstrung the two horses. Saw the razor, but could not say as to seeing the blood. They had £lO for it, or £2 10s. each. The razor was thrown into the canal. Had heard of John Rogers being shot at, but was work ing at Oldham at the time. Thomas Barlow told him he was one who did it. It was not Rogers, but Mr. Rogers' watchman who was shot at. Believed Mr. Rogers was a brickmaker, but did not know of his quarrel. Did not know, but had heard of Sutcliffe's horse being hamstrung. Thomas Barlow told him be and Ward were drinking at a public house, and if Ward did he must have d one it w hil e he (Barlow) was fetching a gallon of b eer . K new of there, abrulest was srltohwen a 's p t la o ce and heard of th e a tt ac k Oldham. ham. By Mr. Chance—Did not doubt but there were slugs in the bottles thrown into Tetlow's house. Did not know what they were for. They might be to frighten, but he had no doubt they would hurt if they hit any one. John Toule, by Mr. Bastow—Clifford's property was injured three times before Jumps' murder, and twice since. Application was made to his men to go into the Union. The first time 15,000 or 16,000 bricks were destroyed. In October everything on the premises was burnt. There were planks, bar rows, a new shed which had just been built, boards, and shovels burnt. The damage amounted to about £lO. A bottle of naphtha was afterwards found on the premises. There must have Veen eight or ten men employed to do it. It was done at six o'clock in the evening. There were no bricks on the pre mises then to spoil. They must have been many men engaged, because they had to carry the planks a good way to the place where they collected them for burning. A reward was offered, but the men were not detected. There was another attack before Jump's murder. Ire thought it was in the summer of 1862, when 13,000 or 16,000 bricks were destroyed. The value would be about £5. No one was apprehended. There had been two at tacks on the same premises since the murder, but witnessAt this c stage dn e o ot f Mr. W. P. Roberts said he had an application to give lie i an 7 details. uiry, make on behalf of the Manchester Briekmakers' Burial Society. It was that there was an examina tion every d.ty —a private examination of witnesses before the Court as3emble.l, and after it adjourned, by the officers of the Court, an having no legal adviser there the society wished to have the protec tion of one at such an examination, lest advantage might be taken of their ignorance. Mr. Commissioner Pickering said it was a most improper application, and he would not listen to it. Mr. Roberts thought it was a proper application, and he protested against such p r i va t e exam i na ti ons . _ _ _ _ Mr. Pickering thought no nian need be, afraid of it when all he had to do wal to tell the truth. Thomas Barlow sworn. Examined by Mr. Chance —He was present at the attack on Mr. Clifford's yard in June, 1862, and generally corroborated the evidence of Hipwell. He was engaged in the attack at Tetlow's. Ilipwell was there, and Tonle and Ryan. They intended to beat him, he sup posed, if they met with him. The attack was be cause he employed non-union men. He believed there were four or five bottles filled with naphtha, powder, horsenail stumps, and other things. One bottle was filled with naphtha only. He carr i e d a bottle of naphtha. HQ threw a bottle of naphtha through the window down stairs. He did not know what it was for, only to frighten them a bit. He believed Hipwell, Ryan, Ward, and another each threw a bottle in. Did not know Tetlow was a married man, and that his wife was sleeping there Henson paid him 10s. for his share, which he, no doubt, got from the Union. Remembered the out rage at Newton-wood. Ryan, Henson, Ward, Hip well, Charles Barlow, and himself were there. They met together in Old-street in Ashton to go. He carried nothing with him that night. Spoilt all the bricks and did all the damage they could. Henson paid him £1 for it. The offence was not employing Union men. Remembered the attack on Bloxley in 1861 at at Dukinfield. Ward, Burke, Ryan, Tonle, Ilipwell, and Henson were there. Received 255. for that. Rememberei the attack on Smet hurst's yard. There were six at that, and received 15s. for it. Remembered the attack on Shepley's, but was not present. On being cautioned he re membered that he was one. lien - son, himself, Ward, and another were the four. lie did not go into the stable. Ward went in and took a razor. Ward cut the hamstrings of the horses' legs. Did not see him do that, but heard him say he had done the job when he came out.. Received 50s. for that from Henson. Thomas Harrison was treasurer of the club at that time. Had never been in any attack since Jump's job. Knew Mr. Rogers' brick yard. There was a meeting of the union because he would not employ union men. Two men were appointed to go to him to see if they could not arrange matters. Henson and another went, bat did not get him to comply with their wish. There was then another meeting, and believed Henson was president. John Barlow was secretary, and about 60 men were present. No resolution was come to at that meeting about Rogers, but something was said about making him have Union men. No men were named then, but afterwards himself and Ward, Henson, Ryan, Charles Barlow, and Jonathan Acton went to spoil Rogers' bricks. Acton and Ward had pistols. When they got there a dog came ont, and both Ward and Acton fired, and Newton, the watchman, was shot. Received from Henson for that. There was a meeting of the Union to talk of this afterwards, but he was not present. Witness described the attack on Clifford's property, when they fired the sheds, barrows, and other property, and said he was there. Had not seen Acton since Jump's job, and did not know where he was. Had heard that six or eight weeks ago Acton was working at Crewe. By Mr. Pickering—They took pistols to defend themselves with. Did not get money for that, be cause Acton made off with his share. John Barlow, by Mr. Barstow—ls now a master brickmaker at Droylsden. In 1860, 1861, and 1862, was secretary to the Ashton Bricklayers' Union at various times. There were a president, treasurer, secretary, and keyholders, elected quar terly ; no council. They were appointed at general meetings. All important business had to be deter mined on by a general meeting. The meetings would appoint men to wait upon an offending master, and exhaust every legal means to induce him to comply. There was then a general meeting, and of course they knew what had to be done then was unlawful. About 150 to 300 men attended these meetings. Remembered the officers Schofield, Henson, James Bateman, and others, who had held appointments. There were not many men who had the qualifications. The principal causes of collision between masters and men were respecting wages and the employment of non-union men. In the case of finding a master was employing non-union men, they sent a deputation, and after that if he did not comply it was understood that another course was to be adopted. It was not settled who were to execute these things, but it was loft to the treasurer, secretary, and president to say how much should be paid. There were generally a number of men who were ready to execute these affairs. The money for these outrages was generally entered before the auditors came as expenses, the auditors full well understanding what it meant. Only a small minority expressed a disapproval of these acts, but of course the majority decided. When horses were to be destroyed or bricks spoilt, it was not mentioned in general meetings, but the expen diture of money for such purposes was generally understood among the members. There were usually four or five cases of this kind to be settled while he was in office, and he understood it was so now. Believed he was in office when the two attacks on Clifford's took place before the murder, but could not remember if he paid for them, though he had no doubt they would be paid for. Witness paid for the defence of the men tried. More than £2OO was paid. Manchester, Oldham, Wigan, Liverpool, Sheffield, St. Helen's, and Birkenhead unions all subscribed for the defence of the men who com mitted the murder. By Mr. Pickering—Waited on the Stockport Union to get a subscription, and received £lO there. There was an amalgamated union at that time, and it was mooted that funds were wanted for this de fence, and it was agreed to apply to the different unions. llarrison and himself received over £2OO from the various societies for this defence. Shepley was a non-union master. Did not know whether he had paid money in Tetlow's case, but it would be paid. The attack on Barlow's place might be iu 1863. had no reason to believe that was done by Ashton union men. Remembered a man named Kirk. Bottles were thrown at his window. Did not know who did it. It would probably be in Hen son's time, because all the money witness paid was to Henson. Remembered Ilobson's case. That was for paying less wages. Remembered Butterfield's case, but no money was paid by the Ashton Union for that. Paid Henson for the Newton-wood case £l4 or £l5. Some men were working for him on terms which were unsatisfactory. Witness was 17 years old when be first became secretary, and was now 25. The books he had when he was in the society were destroyed. llarrison told him so. Ile did not destroy the books himself, and they would probably be destroyed on the auditing day. Believed the minute-book would be produced. By Mr. Pickering—ls a member now. Is com pelled from his position to be one. John Piercy is secretary now. Bateman i 3 treasurer. The books and box will be at the Drovers' Arms. Some leaves were torn out a short time ago becau:sa there was an entry which it was thought was unfit to be brought before a court like this. lie was there and heard the tear, though he did not see who tore the leaves. Smith (secretary), Harrison, Frith, and Smith were present. The leaves were burnt. This was all the mutilation he knew of. Did not know if all the other books were to be found in the box, because he saw a new cash-book the last time he was at the club-room. The Court adjourned till Wednesday.
