COMBINATION .OV JOURNEYMEN TAYLORS.
BEF'ORI N. BON 1) -.KNO.SIR PARSONS.
YESTEWDAY seven journeymen Taylors were
brinrght before the above Magistrates by virtue
of Warrants issued against them, grounded on an
information .wherein: they were charged with
having combined with a number of others, to ob- •
tain anadvanee in their wages of five_ shillings
per week each, being from. 25- to 3o shillings per
Mr.
SILVESTEIt, as Counsel for the Prosecu-
tnrs, opened the case, and from which it appear-
ed to have been a settled plan of the journeymen
Taylors throughput this ',Metropolis to demand
the 'above-mentioned increase of wages on the
ith ..of December last ; on which day near
t‘venty thousand_ are supposed to , have struck
' from their work.
Several' respectable Masters were,•called to
prove that faia,' and its far as regarded themselves
and their acqua'Atance, certainly confirmed it.
Of the seven Defendants three were acquitted,
the evidence not being strong enough in the minds
of the Magis.t caws to prove they had been,-Suifiei-
ently alive in the Combination, to bring them
-stridly within the . meaning of the Aa of Par-
liament. The four others were convicted, and
adjudged to two months imp7iFoment :each' in
the House of Corredion Cold- Bath Fields, against
which conviction they, however,- entered into a
recognizance to appeal at the next General Mitt-
dlesex Sessions.
.The Counsel for the Defendants Was Mr.
GIRNEY.; Attorney,- Mr. Fo tYL X ES, Hart-street,
Bloont:;bury , Attorney for the Prokeutj.on Mr.

PISGUARD, JAN. 2, ISO!.

Yesterday being the day on %vh;ch the Union
was appointed to.t.:ke place, Governor VAUGIIAN
eath,ed a royal salute of twenty-one
.guns to be
fired from the Fort', in htmoor of that important
el'ent, =and afterwards partook of an elegant din-
ner, given by Mr. CROCKLT, at Fishguard; on
the occasion.

So great is the filmy fertility in the recluse parts
of the River Thames, that a small parry iii the
neighbourhood of Sonning caught, between twelve
&clack and half past three, on Monday sennight,
no Jess than sixtven bushels ci roach; chub, and
perch, of which eight ,bushels were given to a
Fisherman for his assistance. And on the same
day, a Gentleman's Servants at Wargrave, had
nearly the', sante success : what renders this the
mare remarkable
,is, that during the whole time
the rain was severe and incessant. Many of the
perch and roach weighed. a pound and a quarter
each. • .
