THE COMBINATIONS IN SCOTLAND.

An agent in Stevenston prosecuted two weavers before
the Justices, in Irvine, for desertion of their work. It ap-
peared that these misled individuals, having engaged work
from the agent, had been tampered with by the leaders of
the association in that quarter, so as to induce them to
break their bargain and return the webs, under thepretence
of the yarn not exactly agreeing with their notions of ma-
nufacture. The agent, Mr. Gilmour, stated that this sys-
tem of engaging webs, and returning them or retaining
them under the directions of the committee,had been lately
carried to a great extent, to the great injury of the indi-
viduals whom the committee had chosen to select for that
purpose. The webs arc regularly engaged by the weavers
—they are then taken to the committee and weighed, to
decide whether the Nos. of yarn square with their tables.
The calculations necessary for ascertaining this are fre-
quently made by persons who are generally ignorant of the
props* mode of making such calculations. 'Should the
agent or manufacturer from whom the weaver draws his
web happen to be obnoxious to the reigning members of
the committee, then the work is ordered to be returned,
and the deluded victims of this system have no alternative
but obey the mandate ; the committee, in sr •
usually allow a small sum to the weaver from t 1
The Justices of the Peace, after expressing their
tion of the measures taken by the agent, severe)
mended the weavers, and signified that their •

allowed two days to return to their labour, or
do so, to be incarcerated for three months in '
gaol.

dustrious labourers, has not only raised that
