DUBLIN, Nov. Ig.

SESSIONS COURT, GRF.EN.STREET,
' Patrkk Ill'ainnis; a Master Baker, in Charles-
street, with four • otherS, ' were. tried for having as-
!
1 sembled, contrary to the stature to regulate,trade,
for a conspiracy to prevent other masters ili 1,40
same business from carrying on their trade, by- in-
timidating iaCtors from supplying thern with flour.;
and McGinnis was indicted particularly for' lipped•
.
ing the manulaCture of bread, by prohibiting several
persons from being supplied with bairn. There
was auother indiament for instigating certain Jour-
neymen Bakers to-gun') out against their employers.
Counsel for the. Crown stated,• that a person
named Alexander Bogie, who had served in SCot4
land, 'the place of his nativity, seven years to the
trade of a baker, like many other speculating emir:
grants from. his country, thought it eXpedient to
set up that bukines at considerable expence, in
Great Britain-street. About the 2gth of May last
he was surprised at receiving warning froth sOme
Of his journeymen, that they could no longer con:-
tinue to work for him ; on remonstrating as to the
reason, he, was. informed, that as he had not served
his apprenticeship in Dublin, a certain Committee
of Master Bakers were deterrrifnedtO put doWn all
intruders in the trade, who had not complied with
a rule of that nature most solemnly entered into.
He was referred for 'information -to' the prisoner
McGinnis, with whom he had a conference: McGin-
nis avowed the resolution entered into, 'but gave a
faint assent to 'an observation by Bogie of the pecu-
liar hardship imposed on him, after having gone to
considerable expense in fining tip ovens, buildings,
&c. when there was an opportunity of 'giving him
early information on that head. On going to some
Flour Factors with whom he bad dealings, they re-
fused him flour, alledging notices they had received
from the Committee of Bakers to' that effeet as ail
excuse. •

This statement, of which we can only afford a
mere sketch, was supported,- in e6dence by Mr.
Wilson, who arrested the traversers, and Mi-. BOgie,
.the prosecutor; who, with much composure, read.a
narrative he had compiled from the different meino-
randuins lie had made recently after: the transajtion.
A person named Ryan, a baker, deposed to hay-
•
'mg been present at a meeting where ,all the prison.;
ers were at
.a house of call kept by one Dunn,. in
,Nicholas'-Street, except the prisoner Meade. He
swore to having been prevented from carrying on
business in Consequence of notices-served upon him,
and his journey men quitting hitti--=that he attributed
a succeeding bankruptcy exclusively to this cause. •
Other -witseses-corroborated the
,statement of
*Counsel; particularly a
Callaghan,- considerable
'Flour;fa6tor, who s'wore,.that in con Sequence. of
notices he received, he ;refused to give Bogie Flour,
anci would' have done so had he tendered lam cash,
from •'that he. considered a 'prudent Motive, that it
he did not comply with those ntitcS-he would have
lost More lucrative ckstomers 'than IVir. Bogie.
The 14coiit?.?nc cliarged.the Jury, recapitulated
the evidence most minutely, and expressed the ut-c
most indignation
,at-fhe crime with,:WlUch'the
sorters stood charged, if the Jury helieved the evi-
dence. again'st them ; in case•Of .doubt It was their
duty to acquit.

An inquisition was held on Tuesday evening, at
