his bloodless operation in the short space of from half a minute to
two minutes, and that, too, in many instances, without the con-

REMARKABLE FACT.—In the early part of last
week, whilst a servant belonging to Rowland Hibbert, Esq., of
Lamb Hill, near Sheffield, was brushing a hedge, he took off
a bough which supported a yellow bunting's nest, and four
eggs therein in a in a forward state of incubation.—Doncaster
Gazette.

The LORD JUSTICE-CLERK resumed his task this day,
and concluded about 25 minutes to five, having spoken
in all about 16 hours. His lordship stated to the jury, that
in his opinion the charge against of sending a threat-
ening letter to Mr. Arthur, was not proved. The charge
against the four prisoners, of hiring Nl' Lean to commit the
murder, was also deficient in proof. With respect to the
charge of murder against IPLean himself, he gave no fur-
ther opinion, than by saying, that if they believed the alibi
witnesses, M'Lean could not be the murderer. But they
would also consider the fact of their signing the cer-
tificate, and all the other circumstances of the case.
However strong their suspicions might be, they
were not entitled to rest their verdict on suspicion
alone—if they had a doubt they must give the
benefit of it to the prisoner, and he was bound to tell
them that the evidence did appear to him to leave the matter
involved in doubt. With regard to the charge of conspiracy
against all the rive prisoners, his opinion was, that the evi-
dence was conclusive against them all. With regard to the
charge of threatening letters, the Jury would judge from
what quarter they could come, but from persons taking the
most lively interest in the Association ; and so with regard to
the attempts at fire-raising. A case of moro importance,
both to the prisoners and to the public, had seldom; if ever,
come before the Court. _ _

The Jury retired at twenty-five minutes to four o'clock,
and returned at twenty-five minutes to nine, having been ab-
sent exactly five hours. Mr. Ridpath, as their Chancellor,
stated that the Jury, by a major►ty, had found the first,
second, third, and tenth charges of the libel proven against
all the prisoners as libelled ; and unanimously found the
other charges as libelled not proven. The first charge, as
will be seen by reference to the summary of the indictment
which we gave at the commencement of the report, refers to
the general conspiracy to raise wages ; the second to the
strike at Oakbank ; the third to the strike at Mile-end ; and
the tenth to the attack upon Donaghy's house.
The Loan JUSTICE- CLERK, in thanking the jury for the
diligent, patient, and faithful manner in which they had dis-
charged their heavy duties, assured them that the Court re-
ceived their verdict with satisfaction. His Lordship also in-
timated that, in consideration of those heavy duties which the
jury had had to perform, the Court intended to enter upon the
books of adjournal a recommendation that they should indivi-
dually, be excused, if they should think proper to avail them.
selves of it, from the burden of attending juries for the next
three years.
Mr. Ridpath said that the jury had deputed him, to express
to the Court their feeling of entire satisfaction at the manner
in which the Crown-agent, and the officers of Court, bad pro-
vided for their comforts during the trial.
Objections were taken by Mr. D. M'Neill, on the part of
the prisoners, to the reception of that part of the verdict
which found the tenth charge proven, as being incon-
sistent with the finding in regard to the fiftit charge.
The fifth, it will be seen, refers to the appointment of
a Secret Committee on the 14th of June, and to certain
acts of violence which were said to have been committed
by, or at the instigation of, the members of the said Com-
mittee, and that charge the Jury found nut proven, while
they found the tenth charge proven, which is merely a de-
tail of one of the particular assaults mentioned in the fifth.
It was submitted, therefore, that as the minor propo-
sition embraced in the tenth charge had, after the fifth
was struck out, no major proposition to which it was
applicable—or in other words, as the Jury had found
no proof of the prisoners being members of that Secret
Committee, although by an apparent mistake they had found
them guilty of one of its acts, the Court ought to consider the
verdict in regard to the tenth charge as negatived by the
finding on the fifth, and give the prisoners the benefit of the
error.

The SOLICITOR. GENERAL suggested that the jury might be
of opinion that the particular charge was proved, while at the
same time they might think the general charge not proven,
referring as it did to a variety of other charges besides that
particular charge ; and in this view he contended that th•
Court was entitled to hold the tenth charge proved against the
prisoners, not as members of the Secret Select Committee
(therein mentioned), but as members of the said unlawful
association.

The Loan Juseice CLERK, after consulting with his
brethren, said, that whatever might be the intention of
the Jury, the Court did not now thick itself entitled to take
the tenth charge into consideration.
Lord MACKENZIE then proceeded to propose sentence, but
spoke in so low a tone as to be frequently inaudible. He
said-_My Lord, this is one of those cases in which the law
commands us to pronounce an arbitrary judgment ; and where
yet the plain, manifest, and imperative nature of our duty
equally requires us to pronounce one of a very serious nature.
'The
charges are the charges brought against the panels ? The
charges which the Jury have found proved against them aro
the throe first. (The Learned Judge, after reading the
charges as they were stated in the indictment, proceeded to
say)—Such are the charges against these prisoners, and cer-
tainly I must say, that I am unable to consider them in any
other light than as charges of a very serious description. I
am perfectly aware that the mere formation of a combination
to raise the rate of wages is not a violation of the law of
Scotland. It was once thought so : but the laws by which
such combinations were prohibited is now repealed ; and had
the prisoners gone no farther than merely to combine for the
purpose of raising the rate of their wages, they would
have been subjected to no punishment. But the conspi-
racy which they joined, was not merely a combination to
raise wages, but to do so by the use of illegal means. It was
a conspiracy to deprive both the employers and the employed,
by force and violence, of their undoubted rights—to rob the
one class of their right to employ labourers at such prices as
they are willing to take, and to rob the other of their right to
dispose of the labour at such prices as they can find. A con-
spiracy of this sort, formed for the purpose of committing such
injuries, by whatever means accomplished, cannot but be con-
sidered as being of a most mischievous character; but when
this is done by a combination of so wide an extent—by a com-
bination which is spread over the greater part of the trade,
and which consequently affects a multitude of people—and
when threats and violence, and actual assaults are used in re-
peated instances to promote the purposes of that combination,
it is impossible for ins to say of persons engaged in such out-
rages anything else than that they commit a most criminal
and most mischievous offence. It is an offence most parti-
cularly against the very class to which the panels belong.
That class are dependent for the subsistence of themselves
and their families upon their labour. If they are de-
prived of that, they are reduced to misery ; and yet here
is n power formed with the intent of so depriving them
of their labour—an illegal power--a tyranny, by which,
if they dare to exercise their natural rights, they are
subjected to unbounded violence. I cannot doubt that
the particular conspiracy which has formed the subject of our
inquiry, was joined by many others besides the prisoners at the
bar ; and the charge applies to all the members of the conspi-
racy—to all those who, not being forced into it, willingly
joined it; but more particularly to the panels, who were the
ruling parties in the conspiracy—through whose instrumentality
and agency the vast extent of the mischief which has resulted
from the whole of this conspiracy is attributable. tinder these
circumstances, the clear sense of duty tells us that the Court
must award a punishment of a very serious nature. When I
look at those persons, when I consider their characters, that
they are otherwise respectable, it is exceedingly painful for me
to propose such a sentence, lam afraid, however, that though
otherwise respectable, their characters have to a certain extent
.been deteriorated. By long connexion with this Association,
It would appear that their sentimeuts in regard to law, religion,
and iseorality, were in a great measure extinguished—and that
they came to regard their own interests, and the interests of
the conspiracy to which they belonged, as paramount to all
other considerations, and the rights of other men as com-
paratively nothing. It seems as if their minds had undergone
a species of delusion it this respect. But these views cannot
exempt us from awarding such a punishment as may be suffi-
cient to secure the suppression of such dangerous conspiracies,
and therefore I feel myself under the necessity of proposing
that the prisoners be transported for the period of seven years.
Lord MONCRIEFF said—l have little to add to the observa-
tions of my Learned Brother. The jury, by their verdict,
have relieved us of the dreadful duty which would have been
laid upon us had the verdict been a general one, of pro-
nouncing upon one or more of the prisoners a far more severe
punishment than that now proposed. And while we are thus
relieved from the more serious parts of the charge, the pri-
soners are relieved also from that tenth charge which the Jury
had intended to find proven ; though certain circumstances
connected with the form of the verdict render it our indis-
dispensable duty to give the prisoners the benefit of their
counsels' objection. Your Lordship knows they have received
that benefit in the sentence proposed by my Lord Mackenzie.
The prisoners are charged, my Lord, wsth being engaged in
a foul conspiracy—an illegal conspiracy—originating in an as-
sociation which had existed for many years, and converted to
the deliberate purpose, not of raising the rate of wages by
withholding the labour of its own members, but of withholding
by force and violence, by threats and intimidation, from employ-
ment, others who had as good a right to dispose freely
of their labour as this Association had to use theirs. After
quoting. the charges proved against the prisoners, his
Lordship proceeded to say : —lt is proved that such
molestation and such violence as are set forth in the
libel did take place ; and the extent to which the system
proceeded was described by Sheriff Alison in his testimony.
That conspiracy was of a most formidable character; such 'as
could not be tolerated in any civilized land; and which was
calculated to destroy the whale trade and manufactures of this
kingdom. My lord, I concur in the sentence which has been
proposed. I consider this association as one of the most
dangerous conspiracies that has been seen in this aountry for
many a day ; and I only wonder how it is possible for any men
possessed of the understanding, which I am convinced these
prisoners, or at least the most of them, possess, so to pervert
their minds and moral principles, as to believe that at the very
instant they are asserting their own liberty to work or not as

they think proper, the are metier' forcibly X 0 compel their
brethren to cease from work whether they will or not. It
would never do if the liberty of regulating labour was vested
in the domineering power of an association like this. One man
is as free as another to bring his labour to market. It is a
dream—a delusion of the most deplorable kind—that wen
should think it possible to raise the rate of wages by 'utterly
destroying the capital by which alone trade is sustain-
ed. If in this instance the conspirators had succeeded in their
plans, and prevented every body but themselves from dispos-
ing of their labour as they pleased, it is perfectly plain the
manufacturers would have speedily come to utter luss and ruin.
I concur in the sentence proposed.
F The Lone JUSTICE-CLERK then proceeded to address the
prisoners as follows :—After the long trial which has takes
place, the Jury have, by a majority, found you guilty of the
three first charges contained in these criminal letters. In the
performance of the duty incumbent on me in addressing the
jury, I purposely refrained from eTpressing any detailed opi-
nion on the nature of the Association of which all of you as
members, and four of you as office-bearers, were charged in
this indictment with having committed the various acts therein
described. I say, I then refrained from expressing' any opinion
of the nature of that Association; but now that the 7erdict of
the Jury has established the fact of your guilt in reference to
these three charges, I can have no hesitation in expressing' m)
sentiments. The Jury have found you guilty of the float
charge, which begins by stating that the prisoners arc air
or each, or one, or more of them, office-bearers and mem-
bers of the said unlawful Association; and then it goes
on to say that you did commit those acts, first by conspiring,
secondly by committing two most felonious assaults after the
conspiracy had been entered into. The verdict of the Jury,
therefore, has stamped this association of cotton-spinners in
Glasgow as an unlawful association ; and no man that heard
the evidence with regard to its nature, its character, and its
proceedings even for a considerable period of time previous to
the commission of those acts of conspiracy, can entertain the
slightest doubt that it was unlawful in its structure, utterly
unlawful in its objects, and utterly unlawful in the irmans which
it resorted to for the purpose of effecting those objects. The
impression produced on my mind by the evidence disclosed,
which, as you know, was of a most extraordinary nature,
is, that this was an Association of the most illegal and
dangerous description—illegal in its nature, most injurious and
dangerous in its consequences, not only to the public, but the
Members of the Association themselves, for whose purposes,
and to promote whose interests it professed to be at first esta-
blished. When I recollect the nature of the general evidence
laid before the Jury, which was sufficient to appal the stoutest
heart—to think that, in the heart of this country, an Institu-
tion should be established for carrying into effect designs so
dangerous, and objects so disgraceful—l say it was injurious
to the interests of the Members : for a more fearful state of
bondage never was exhibited on the face of this earth,
than with regard to those Members who presumed for
one moment to exercise their legal rights, and do what they
thought proper in the disposal of their labour. They were
under a species of slavery which was worse than the
worst that has been proved to exist in civilized society. They
were brought into this state and condition, and made subser-
vient to the worst of purposes; induced to perpetrate the
worst crimes at the bidding of their ringleaders ; hardened in
their hearts, and set against all orders of the community,
under the pretence of promoting their interests, but in
fact bringing destruction on that manufacture in which
they were particularly engaged, and working their own
ruin. The verdict of the jury has established the fact of
your having entered into an illegal conspiracy, and carried
its objects into full effect, not only by means of a guard com-
mittee for marking the persons who worked at the manufacto-
ries, but by two particular assaults committed in open day
against such persons. I shall not say one word more ; but
it is the bounden duty of this Court to convince the
people of this country that the practice of this most
dangerous system will no longer be permitted to exist
within any part of this kingdom. It is for the purpose of
deterring others from persisting in those evil courses;
and of bringing that part of the community with which
you were connected, back into a state of order; to show
them the danger in which they are involved; and to
protect the real interests of the operative classes of the
community, and particularly that class to which yeti
belong, and that we are bound to visit you with a punish-
ment which, under all the circumstances of ' this case,
cannot but be considered as a very lenient one. At this late
hour, after such a lengthened trial, I shall say no more than
that, while we find it our bounden duty to award the punish-
ment which has been proposed, we certainly lay out of consi-
deration entirely, not only the tenth charge, but also all the
other charge:, which the jury have found not proven. His Lord-
ship then sentenced all the prisoners to be transported beyond
seas for a period of seven years.
The proceedings were brought to a close at 20 minutes to
11, when the Court adjourned.
