the practice generally arises from thoughtlessness, bur we
think it our ditty to unties it, at the ionic time observing, that
the taking of one bunch of hops is a misdemeanour, and
popishable as such by law. It iN the art of taking, not the
the quantity taken, that defines the offence.

THE AGiNCIIESTER SPINNERS.

The operative spinners of this playa are still at variance
with their own interest. For the last 1.8 years they have en.
joyt d an aninterrnpted state ot prosperity. in almost constant
employment at superior wages to that of working classes ;
suet even In the dreadfully depressed state of trade which din.
liogukfled the years 1t416 and 1817, when thousands of
wenverg, &c. wefr suffering tile greatest privations from the
want of employment. and atiperallelcd low wages, they were
still found happy and comfortable. The Caine happliiess con-
tinued, aud they have volamarily relimptislied it. It is tette they
have stated to the public that they have not been sittfieiently re.
numerated for their labours,and by their representations have
persuaded other persons to think so too ; but a reference to
facts will convict them of extreme folly, to call their "turn.
oat" by tio harsher a name. It is well known, abet when
workmen are !valet by the quantity and quality of work dose,
that a disparity in HI:1131114 of their earnings must result; but
an average amount per hand will furnish sufficient data to
prove that their slim:tine was not such as to justify the pen.
deuce of the measures to which they have resorted. It ap-
pears that in the cotton_mills, from which the spinners have
seceded, Ilia Dim on the average, from the month of January
last to the tnielttle of June, when they left off labour, earned
upwards of 31s. per week : and that boys and gni, who are
spinners, earned, during that time, upwards of Its per week,
clear of all charges and deductions whatsovcr.

From this statement, compared with the earnings of other
working classes, we cannot lint think that the spinners are
acting most inconsistently, and are doing iwjnstice to threw
delves and families liy the pertinacity with which they adhere
to a demand ofan increase of wages; even without adverting.
to tit loss sustained' by their late employers, whose mills are
at this moment of little 14.ss expense to diem from the con.
tinneilinterest of capital employed, in rent, insurance, con.
dueling servants' salaries, the depreciation in the valve of
machinery, w;iich is regular and' progressive whether in use
or not ; and wittioat consideting that from those causes, to
say nothing of mire generous motives, the owner of a cotton
mill is obliged to continue it at work, when the market is in
such a vt ale that it is not possible toiled with profit, and some •
times when sales cannot be made without an actual loss.
Forty years ago, spinning was in the bands of a few women
and cldhlreii. The ingenuity of mechanics, and the spirit and
enterprise of capitalists, have given employment to thou-
sands of moo; it is red fit that. a nutlllllfs. tiny of such local
tied nati.mal importance should be swept away by a combi.
nation, made in the face of an express statute, viz. that of the
.30th and 40th of Geo. 111. c. 106, sec. 3, by which it is en-
scud,

there was every reason to believe that all tho woursJs en bath of the

of the wounds resemlled that which would be produced from the
hammer. The confession stades, that while one of Hussey's com-

other man broke his way into the side door t whefeas, on Adki:
