ALLEGED ILLEGALITY_ OF A STRIKE,

COMMITTAL OF TWO BUILDING OPERATIVES,
On Saturday, at the Clerkenwell Police-court, London,
John Griffin, William Walsby, and William Tremlett,
appeared before Mr. Corrie, to answer two summonses
taken out by their masters, Mr. Phillip Anley and
another, of Whitecross-street, builders, which charged
them as follows :—" For that you, on the 16th day
of May, 1860, and within the space of six calendar
months now last past, in the parish of St. Luke, did
unlawfully, by threats and intimidation, endeavour to
force the said Philip Anley, then and there carrying on
the trade of a builder, to limit the number and descrip,
tion of his workmen contrary to the statute, &c." The
second summons was, "that they did unlawfully, by
threats and intimidation, endeavour to force their mas-
ter to make au alteration iu his mode of conducting and
carrying on his business," &c. There was a summons
against a George Mogg, for similar offences, but this
Hughesmau, 165 G, one of the warrant officers of the
court, said he was unable to serve, as he had got out of
the way.
The court and its avenues were densely crowded by
workmen and others interested in the case.
From the evidence, it appeared that the complainant
was a builder, carrying on business at No. 72, Upper.
White Cross-street, and on the 15th of May last, he
had in his employment a number of carpenters and
joiners, among whom were two men who were
working under what was known as the " declara-
tion." On the morning of that day, the foreman of the
prosecutor took to him a paper, of which the following
is a copy :--"At a meeting of the joiners at present in
the employ of Mr. Anley, on Tuesday evening, May 15,
1860, it was resolved that Mr. Anley.be given to under-
stand that unless the men who are working under the
`declaration' in his shop be discharged, and we have a
definite answer by dinner-time to that effect, we cease
work immediately." That paper was returned to the
men, because it had no signatures, and about two o'clock
in the afternoon of the same day the men went to the
prosecutor, and said that they went to him as a deputa-
tion from the men, and handed to him a paper, the
same as that given above, but this time it had upon it
several signatures in pencil, which did not appear there-
upon in the morning. The complainant then said to the
men, "Are these all your signatures ?" and they having
answered in the affirmative, he said "Have you well
considered what you are about ?" and they said "Yes."
He then asked them if they had any fault to find with
him, his clerks, his foremen, or their rate of wages, and
being answered in the negative, the complainant then
said, " What is it then do you want ?" The deputation
then replied, " You must discharge those two men
working under the declaration, and if you do not we
shall leave your work." The complainant then said he
would not allow himself to be dictated to. He further
said, " I think you have been too fast in your decision,
and I will give you half an hour to reconsider the
matter. If you then come back to work I shall think
no more about it ; but if not, I will rather close my
shop than submit to your dictation." The men then
went away, and in about half an hour all the men came
back together, and went towards the shop, saying they
were going to fetch their tools. The men were paid
their wages, took away their tools, and have not since
come back. Since that day the complainant's yard has
been closed, and has been picketed by relays of those
men who left, in order to prevent other men from enter-
ing into his employment. They loiter about his yard,
and the defendant Tremlett, it was stated by the com-
plainant, had been there about a fortnight.
The complainant's foreman, to a great extent, proved
the above, and he was the only witness called.
In cross-examination the complainant stated that
he belonged to the Society of Builders, which is a
trade society. That society was not directing this pro-
secution, but they had given him assistance in conse-
quence of his having placed his case in their hands.
That society was not a combination of masters to prose-
cute their workmen. What the men said they wanted
was, that the men working under the declaration
should be dismissed. The society was communicated
with a day or two after the strike. He did not enter
into any negotiations with them about taking them
back. He had spoken to his foreman about them, but he •
did so because he wanted to find out where the defendants
resided.

TEN HOURS' MOVEMENT AMONG

DRIVERS AND FIREMEN.-14.,
et6S a
rAtaay afternoon, a
o
meeting of delegates,
r r, 0,:111g the engine drivers
and firemen working or
the railways in the north of
England, was held ati
•-le Crown and Thistle Inn, Man-
chester. Upwarti-
of 130 delegates were present, the
meeting bein,--6, aggregate
one for the purpose of fe,r-
warding. 'the movement in favour of a uniform mice of
ten :00;r; labour a day. The chair was occupier, by a
Manchester delegate, who said he had befo'ee him
statements from men employed on various lines in
the kingdom which would show that the, time was
come fur them strenuously to come to work. From
Rugby they had the statement of a man employed oh a
mineral train, who said that he had been on duty 18,
20, and even 30 hours, without any time' for refresh-
ment, and after this amount of duty he bad to be at
work again within five hours of his leaving off. Mr.
Sheridan, M.P. for Dudley, who had all the feats laid
before him, had promised to bring the subject before the
House of Commons, and to do the utmost be could in
so just a cause, Another M.P. had sent n private letter
to the Chairman, saying that he was Iluite prepared to
take the matter up.—Some very terP.perate and sensible
speeches were made, by delegates from the Lancashire
and Yorkshire, Great Northe.rt, the' Chester, and other
tutilines.
or It was reprarrei sented that
none of the literary insti-
ons free libes„ am). other social advantages which
were so highly valued b:y other classes of workmen, were
available for the engine drivers and firemen. The public,
it was said, were riot aware when they travelled by
rail-
way that they were under the care of enginemen who had
perhaps been. nn their engines 15 or 18 hours ; and it
was high time that the commercial world especially
were made aware of the fact with a view to an immediate
remedy being applied. The railwayguards had expressed
themselves anxious to join in the movement for shorten-
ing the hours of labour, and it was understood that the
question of the combination with them would form a
subject four future consideration. Resolutions were
passed, authorising the preparation and presen-
tation of memorials to the locomotive superintendents
and the boards of directors on the various lines ; an,d a strong opinion was expressed in favour of an
application to Parliament next session for a Ten Hours
Rill. The Chairman remarked that the circumstance of
the meeting being by necessity held on the Sabbath-day
was one which he hoped would find many friends to
their cause. They positively could meet at no other
time. He was anxious himself to attend a place of
worship on a Sunday, but from sheer exhaustion could
not. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the
chairman.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A YOUNG WOMAN. Mr.
G. S. Brent, deputy Coroner for West Middlesex, opened
an inquiry a day or two ago, in the concert hall of the
Running Horse Tavern, Harrow-road, Paddington,
London, for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of
death of Miss Ann Green, aged 18, the daughter of
the proprietor of the above-named establishment, who,
it was believed, had died from poison administered
by her own hands, on Monday last. The details of the
case were of a very painful character, inasmuch as the
deceased, a lively, prepossessing young woman, had given
up her affectiona to a young married man with one
child. .Henry Aseott, the young married man in ques-
tion, rn, eating-house keeper, who was greatly affected
is giving his evidence, said ho knew the deceased
particularly well, and was present at the time of her
death, and was with her mother for a quarter of an
hour or twenty minutes before the melaneholy event.
While talking with the mother the deceased rushed
iota the room between them, and then, retreating to
a corner, said, " I suppose, y.ou have had the explanation
you required, atici.A.cw you shall have mine. I told you I
should do it, end I have done it." Mrs. Green , replied,
gi Foolo, girl, are you going to frighten me ? What
do you mean l" Deceased immediately said, ."I have
taken it—l have taken it." Mrs. Green then turned
round to witness and said, " I hope to God, Henry,
;
she has taken nothing. Do you think she has?„
Witness was afraid she had, and requested Mrs,Gase"
•
to fetch the father. The motheinstantiy rleettil,

that he was called on to Ewer* 14,11 a deposed
visit the deceased' en Monday
afternoon, at half-past, four 0' kl,4ek. He found her
in a state of insensibillty, the,. pupils of her eyes dilated,
Allied pulse, and :

symptoms, and
IgAckticeag'-- 'the, father amused himself
with taking 4.1 ,o,ographio

had takerk cyanide of potassium, to which she had
access, He therefore administered the antidote,
riolpliate of zinc, thinking that he. might arouse the
• action Of the heart, but he, could, scarcely get it beyond
the throat. Mr. Thorne, another medical gentleman,
then arrived, anclby, his. suggestion brandy was injected
by meab,s of the stomach pump, during which operation
the deceased expired. Several letters which had passed
between deceased awl Ascott were put in and read. A
letter was also handed to the coroner, signed Henry
Aseott," requesting an interview with the mother of
deceased for the purpose of explanation, and containing
a request fo burn all his communications and forvet the
past. The inquiry was adjourned until the result of ii
post mertem examination was made known,
