Tilt SHEePIELO TUADIS OUTltorS.—Lbet night
an aggregate meeting of trades delegates waa held at the
Tsuseex-Lill. Iteusene-etreet, for the purl uee of consider-
ing the necessary eteps to be taken by the trades of Lon-
don with respect to the atrocities just brought to light
at Sheffield. Mr. (.co. Potter occupied the chair. The
chainuan said they were almost disgmced as a body of
trules unionist. by the revelations at Sheffield, and it
MOW seemed worse to be a trade. unionist than to be a
He slid not believe that the deal of darkne-s
that bad taken place at Sheffield had occurred in any
other town, and he hoped the legislature would not
attempt to repeal the laws relating to combinations nu
account of the horrible atrocities which had recently
shocked the public mind. Mr. Connolly (atone-
season) moved, Mr. Self (compositor) seconded,
sad it was carritd :—" That, while it has lain
been notorious that the manag, meat of and conduct ilUt•
sued by certain of the Sheffield trades union, in the 'mid-
inA trades were such as could ',either be approved nor
sanctioned by tredve unioneits generally, more eepecially
the system called rattening, the delegates of the
London trades were totally unprepared fur the terrible
/revelations of outrages on life and property perpetrated
for so long a ',env, of years with impunity by Broad-
head, the secretary of the Saw Grinders' Union, and his
associate, in crime ; and we deeply regret that the
commissionere felt it necessary, in the discharge of their
duty, to exandoe Broadhead as a witness, thus enabling
so great a criniinal to escape the
.punishment PO well
merited by him for his manifold crimes." Reeolutions
were also adopted to the effect " That the trades unionists
cordially United with all other classes of the people in re..i
pudiating with horror and indignation the slightest syru-
p...by with those atrocities, or their wretched and miser-
able withers and abettors, and entered a solemn protect
against the attempt+ now industriously being mule by the
opponents of trades making generally to connect them with
those outrages. That the meeting was of opinion that all
trades societies in Sheffield whose executives or office-
hearers had been concerned in any of these outrages, or
who were suspeoted or tainted with participation in any
even of the minor crimes disclosed before the commission
in that town, should be immediately reconstructed ; anal
lentil that was done no trade union or individual trasles
unionist, should transact any lim iness. or bold any oona-
tmunieation with the societies in question. That it was
sboletely requisite that the United Kingdom Alliance of
Or4anisel Trades should withdraw their executive and
headi,uartere from Sheffield, to mark the indignation of
the %rules in other towns at the laxity in the business
transactions of many of the Sheffield trade societies, by
which alone such foul deeds as those devised by Broadhead
resell be paid fur from the funds of those societies. That
it was the duty of every real trade unionist to rally round
snit render every moral support to the executives of the
various anions, and to show their determination not to
tallow these useful and necessary combinations to be made
• ecapegost to suffer for the exceptional crimes perpetrated
by a few evil and misguided mien."

The plaintiff maid that the defendant had falsely and frau.
dulently concealed from him that Meinew Davis were
indebted to the hank, whereby he was induced to let them
have the oats and to take their cheque in payment.

guatuutee to pay the cheque of Meows. Davis only in the
event of there being a surplus from the govelnment cheque
after the advance.: to them by the hank during the current
month had been satisfied. It seemed that the government

these were described by the petitioner's mother, and it
appears that the parties stand under a canopy, that the
bridegroom. puts a ring on the finger of the bride, and
acknowledges her to be Lis wife ; and that then a glass is

was a very unhappy one, the respondent being much
addicted to intrigues with other women, and being, more-
over, of a very violent temper. After various separations
and reconciliations the respondent sent his wife Items at
the beginning of 1862, alleging that he could not maintain
her any longer. Having no children of their own they
had adopted a little child, and the respondent was charged
with having, in fact, eloped with the child's aurae, and
