DISTURBANCES AMONGST THE FARM LABOURERS
iN Wit:rt.—Within the last three or four days considerable
excitement has prevailed in that portion of the county adja-
cent to West Lavington, in consequence of a numerous
body of egricultural labourers having " struck " from work,
and tbreatseirg serious disturbances. A reduction of wages
appears to have been the cause of the outbreak. In the
course of last Saturday most of the principal farmers in the
neigbbourh.od intimated their intention of reducing the
wages of their labourers from 7s. to 6s. • weak. The men
had previously got • hint of the contemplated reduction,
and a number of them waited upon the steward of Lord
Churchill (the owner of the principal farms in the
parish), with a view of inducing him to intercede in tt eft
behalf. This led to no beneficial re,ult ; and the men find-
ing that their masters were determined on reducing them
to Os., about 150 of them assembled early on Monday morn-
ing in front of the house of Mr. Spencer, a large farmer, and
stopped ono, horses, and agricultural implements proceeding
to work by that load. Having persuaded other lah.:urere to
join them, they went round to all the farms, and completely
stopped all operations. They took horses from plough.,
opened sheep pens, and prevented all labour being pro-
ceeded with. No oppoeition being offered them, they put-
sued the same course throughout the day, visiting every farm
in the vicinity and .forcing off the labourers who were at
work. Oa the following day some of them returned to work,
but it being reported that warrants were out for the ring.

a renewal of the excitement. A man named Kite who bad
taken an active part in the affair, was brought before the

labourers, armed with sticks, came into the town, for the
purpose of tescuing him, but were wattle to do so.
