with the order, and, instead of going to their work in the
morning, did not attend till noon. There were large quanti-
ties of slimes on Saturday night in the yard of the relieving
offices, Saul-street, where the am are paid, and it was ap-
prehended at the time that the disaffected labourers would
nee these missiles in the outbreak of their violence. Yester-
day the stones were carted away to prevent their being used.
