TIIREATEND FURTHER OUTRAGES

As the sentences passed upon the Shipley factory rioters
:have given much dissatisfaction among, many of those in-
terested, a number of their friends resolved to apply to the
magistrates for leave to appeal to the quarter sessions against
their decision, and engaged Mr. Roberts, solicitor, of Man-
chester, the millers' attorney-general, to go to Bradford on
purpose: He 'accordingly appeared in the West Riding Court
on Tuesday, when W. Cheesbrough, and' J. Hollings, Esqrs.,
were upon the bench. Mr. Terry, as on the previous
hearing of the case, appeared for the prosecution.—Mr.
Roberts applied under the stet of parliament, which he
termed Jervis's Act, by which leave to, appeal "would be
granted, and also bail accepted, for the appearance of
those charged' until. the spinal was beard. Without
their leave, indeed, he might apply at once to the Court
of Queen's Bench, but his clients were only poor people,
and his object was, as far as possible, to save expense.
Mr. Cheesebrough said that he himself had remanded the
hearing of the case from last Friday to Saturday,
_mid
be, as well as his brother magistrates, were satisfied
with the decision given, but besides that the application
Came too late.—Mr. Roberts was aware that it should
have been mado sooner, but endeavoured to show that
be could scarcely have appeared sooner, when at was
considered that Sunday had intervened ; that he had a
considerable distance to travel ; and that Tuesday was,
in reality, only the third day that had arrived since that
on which they were convicted. He cited a case of
an appeal which bad been made in a similar case to
the Court of Queen's --Bench, when the objections to
owe overruled.—Mr. Terry contended
that the "cases cited by Mr. Roberts were not ana-

rant it Was 114

The
_prosecution was laid
not aware that, under

logous to that of Mr. Taylor
under the Intimidation A,et. He v

Jervis's Act, the magistrates had any right whatever to grant
such an appeal.—Mr. Cheesebrough decided finally that
the application had not been made according to law, which
requires that it be made " forwith."—lmmediately after the.
above business was disposed of, 141 men from Shipley, Bail-
don, and Saltaire, were called upon, and took the necessary
oaths to act as special constables, in case of any outbreak in the
neighbourhood. This was considered necessary, as frequent
threats of vengeance against two loom weavers, and the wit-
nesses who appeared against those committed on Saturday
no less than the property of employers, had been made. The
works of Saltaire, it Was said, had also been threatened by the
Shipley malcontents and others. On Monday evening, the
rumour was circulated in Bradford that another outrage was
about to be committed, and detective ofEcers Field and Shuttle-
worth, with a posse of twelve policemen, were immediately
despatched to give any necessary assistance, if required. The
policemen were left at the rail way station ready to start, whilst
the deteetives went out to reconnoitre,_ but they soon learnt
that the assembled mobs had dispersed as soon as they
heard that :the military were ready, at Bradford, for
immediate march, on the signal being given by the tele-
graph ; and that the police who had then arrived were
armed with cutlasses. The number of constable* 'sworn in
will, it is thought, be able to preserve the peace.
