The Colliers' Strike.

WOLVERHAMPTON, OCt. 27.

To-day, at the Bilston Police Court, the 19 colliers
charged at that court on Thursday last with unlawfully
assembling together that morning at Tipton, and also with
intimidation and conspiracy, were brought up on remand
before Mr Spooner, the stipendiary magistrate of the Wol-
verhampton district. The evidence taken last week showed
that the accused had formed parts of the large concourse of
men on strike who, on the mornings of Wednesday and
Thursday of that week, had paraded the roads between
Dudley and Bilston, between five and six o'clock in the
morning, for the purpose of preventing the miners who
had " gone in" from going down the pits and pursuing
their employment. The alleged intimidation consisted in
the gathering of such large masses of men, with drums,

tin whistles, shouts, and cries. Tho district had been
plenteously posted with placards from the beginning, set
ting forth the illegality of such practices; and the police
had patrolled the district every morning, protecting the
men who kept at their work, or had returned or were re•
turning to it, and warning those who sought to interfere
with them that they were liable to bo arrested, `Yarning
having been in vain, the police reotived orders, on Wed-
nesday week, henceforth to put the law in full force. The
next morning the prisoners, and about 2,000 others, assem-
bled in the neighbourhood of one of the Earl of Dudley's
pits, where the men had returned to work at Tipton-
green, and paraded the road armed with hedge stakes, ac-
companied with bands and shouting. They refused to
disperse or discontinue playing end shouting, and on their
attempting to force their way up the by-road leading to
the pit, the police charged them with their staves, and,
after a short but sharp and decisive conflict, succeeded in
capturing and keeping in custody the 19 prisoners who stood
in the dock to-day.

On Thursday last the prisoners were undefended ; to-day
the promise was redeemed that they should be ably de-
fended, for Dr Konealy, of the Oxford circuit, and Mr
Roberts, the miners' attorney of Manchester, appeared
on their behalf; and Mr Sergeant O'Brien, of the Midland
circuit, with Mr Motterham, of the Oxford circuit, wero for
the prosecution. The learned sergeant briefly addressed the
bench to the above effect, and it was then agreed that the
depositions taken last week should stand, any additional
evidence to be added to them. The additional evidence went
to strengthen the case,as regarded the charge of conspiracy.
The principal item was as to the holding of a meeting at
the Britannia Inn on the evening of the 18th inst.,whereat
the men on strike assembled, and at which a speaker de-
clared that they would not be followed about by the "blues,"
but would go into the b--- (the police), and fetch theta
(the men at work) out. Two of the prisoners were seen
going in to the meeting, and a third (Allen), with a flourish
of a hedge stake, sought next morning to lead a body of
men to practically carry out the resolution.

The butties of the pit in question proved that the men
at work at it had been met on the 'Wednesday morning,
stoned and driven from their work, and at night men in the
vicinity were overheard threatening it would be " b--- hot
for them to-morrow morning." Evidence was given by
Superintendent M'Crea that he had, several mornings pre-
viously, warned the men their morning marches and bands
would be stopped by force, when they replied they would
consult their leaders. Cue of the prisoners, named Allen.
was one of the men who made this reply. On the Thursday
morning, when he formed the police across the road block-
ing the way to the Earl t f Dudlay's pit, and also to Dudley,
the prisoners and others attacked the police, attempting to
break through them. Major M'Knight, the deputy and foi
some Limo acting chief constable t,f' the county, proved that
owing to complaints of outrages committed on men going
to work and from the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, lit
gave orders to the police, which they carried out, when they
captured the prisoners. From what he knew of the state
of the district the measures ho took were necessary. Seve-
ral other witnesses having been examined for the prosecu-
tion, the inquiry was adjourned at five o'clock until this

morning.

Funeral of the Duke of Newcastle.

The remains of this lamented nobleman was in
terred in the family mausoleum at Markham Clinton
Notts, yesterday. The esteem in which the late
Duke was held by all classes, more especially by his
numerous tenantry, was shown by the attendance
at the ceremony of yesterday, which exceeded
anything that has been witnessed of late years en
similar occasions. The park at Clamber was ap..
pointed for the mustering place of the tenantry,
and they began to assemble about nine o'clock.
About 500 horsemen were in attendance, all wearing
hatbands. The body lay in state in the anteroom
of the library, in a mahogany coffin, which enclosed
a lead shell and a coffin of ocdar, the latter being
made out of a cedar that formerly grew in the pleas
sure grounds. At the head of the coffin was a ducal
coronet. The coffin plate bore the following inserip.
tion

Henry Pelham Pelham-Clinton,
Duke of Newcastle,
Earl of Lincoln,
Lord-Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the county of

Notts,
Lord Warden of the Stannaries in Cornwall and Devon,
Kuight of the Most Noble Order of the Garter,
One of her Majesty's Most Hon, Privy Council,
D.C,L.,
Born, play 22, 1811,
Died, October 18, 1864.

The funeral procession was composed as follows :
A mourning coach drawn by two horses, conveying
Mr Gilbert, the late Duke's house steward ; Mr
Scott, the farm bailiff; the agent's clerk; and Mr
Latham. The late Duke's carriage, closed, drawn
by a pair of horses, coachmen and footmen.

Tenantry on horseback, headed by the head
keepers. The Worksop forester. Tenants in carti•
ages—Messrs C. S. Burnaby, T. F. A. Burnaby, Jno.
Champion, W. E. Watson, John Whall, H. Cottam,
E. Hodgkinson, W, Wilkinson, J. Garside.
The Forester, on horseback, heading a procession
of 530 tenantry on horseback, all wearing mourning.
Mourning coaches conveying the chaplain of the late
duke and several of the neighbouring clergymen ;
the solicitor to his Grace and his medical attendants;
his agents and the managers of his estates. Then
came the pall-bearers, eight in number, selected
from the tenantry whose families have been for cen-
turies connected with the estate. Then followed the
hearse drawn by sin horses, the trappings display
ing the escutcheon of the family. Eight under-bear•
era walked alongside, selected from cottage tenants.
The first mourning coach following the hearse con•
tained the Earl of Lincoln (now Duke of News
castle), Lords Arthur and Albert Pelham Clinton,
sons of the late Duke, and his Grace the Duke of
Hamilton. In the next coach were Sir Cornwallis
Ricketts, Bart., and Captain D'Eyncourt, R.N.,
brothers-in-law of the late Duke ; Sir Rodney
Mundy, and the Lord Foley, cousins of the late
Duke. The next contained Lord de Tabley, the
Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, executor of the Duke,and Lord Harris.
The rest of the procession was composed of the ser..
vants of the late Duke, and a vast number of te-
nantry and labourers. From Clumber to Markham
Canton is about eight miles, and the road was
lined with the country people, who were not de-
terred by the excessively unpleasant day from
atteneiog to pay the last tribute of respect to one
whose memory will long live in their hearts as a
good landlord, and an affectionate amiable nobles
man. The procession started from Clumber at a
quarter past 12, and reached Markham Clinton at
3. The funeral service was then performed and the
body was lowered into the vault. It may be stated
that, this church was built specially by the father
of the late Duke, who died in 1852, as a burying
place for the family. The church is a small and
plain Luilding, and underneath there more than 30
vaults constructed for the reception of the bodies
of the Clinton family. The ceremony was over at
a quarter past 3. and the vast procession separated.
We may state that the whole of the children of the
late Duke were present, with the exception of Lord
Edward Clinton, who is in Canada with the Rifle
Brigade, and Lady Susan Vane Tempest.
