who shall " internale, " with soy ticket porter is the per-
formance of his labour, a peasitp of 61., end this action wee
to moms that penalty under the Wowing circumstances.
Oa the 7th botcher Kam Hesse sad Mills, extensive
flak salesmen Is Lewes Themeostreet, had a esasigesent of
AA per the Brim Commies Railway from Yarmouth. and
they employed the defendent, fellowship porter, tamed

Sillier. Is
linseed to be employed " ie the
name of the assimbidefa of the City of London." The
defendant threstems4 to give him into custody if he pre.
vented kin meentlag the orders of his employers. sod on
the following day the writ in this satire was served on him.
The premien of Messrs. Rome and Mills were not situate in
the market, nor were they liable for any of the market dna,
bet the ticket porters claimed the right of nuked's" all the
fish, et the sharp of 2d. per peeksge, that arrived for the
sal-smen in the market and in the neighbourhood too.
Reid's. wee given that from time imm emoria
porterage inl the ticket
porters had heA tle exclusive right of the
market.
Mr. Locke submitted for a amen% principally is the
ground that under the first section of the am of Cosmos
Council, the " labour" of the ticket porters wee the seised-
log of packsges of goods brought " moonrise" Into Billings
gate, it being impossible for the Court of Common Connell
in 1798 to satielpate the transport of dab from seaport teens
by railways to the metropolie.
The Reender said he should leave two questions to the
1 177.
Mr. Locke then Sanwa the jury, and characterised this
claim on the part of the ticket potters m an attempt to mo-
sopolise all the labour is the City, isesmult as the
of Reese and Mills being out of the market,
ticket porton might, if they were now successful, insist epos
being emplaned to unload all geode delivered in the City
generally: Re contended that then ee no sidestep of
my steel er pesserlptin right on thewpart et the 110fiers,
sad that there had bees no " intenseddliag" with the
labour of a ticket peeler. It wee preposterous to say that
Roan and Mills hod sot a right to employ whomsoever they
pleased, and he hoped the jury would not, by finding for the
plaintiff, establish an absurd monopoly over the chinas of
Londen.
The Recorder said there could be no doubt of this being
a very important question, not only to the ticket panne, bet
to the tradesmen of the City, and especially to ohmE
of the community who supported themselves by this
tin of labour. There were two question to be
Hod the ticket porters a prescriptive right to this Wow,
and had that labour been intenteddled with? lie Sa-
msun that he was of opinion that the porters had an ends-
sive right to the labour within the market, and the jury
would say first, whether they considered the unloading of
the fish in speedos, at • salessames out of the market, the
right of the porten c and, secondly, whether the defendant
had intermialed with that labour. If the porton were en-
titled to unload goods in Theism-street out of the market,
they would also be entitled I. unload goods exclusively in
every street of the City.
The jury fined for the defendant.
The can lasted nearly the whole day, and the court was
crowded with salesmen and others connected with Billings-
pte.
