that, in the case of Day, who was committed upon the
12
charge of stealing the purse of a lady in an omnibus, Sir
R. W. Carden said he would accept bail for the prisoner. E,
On the day after the committal of Day, Sir R. W. Car- St.
den declared on the bench that he never for a moment St.
entertained a thought of accepting bail in such a case.
THE STOCKPORT STRlKE.—Several rather serious tu- 16i
mults have already arisen out of the strike at Stockport, 10
and the police have had to interfere for the protection of St.
such of the workpeople as have chosen to accept the St.
St.
terms offered by the employers. At three of the largest
mills—Messrs. Eskrigge and Co.'s, in Heaton-lane, and St.
Mr. C. Howard's and Messrs. Marshall's, in Portwood 20
_in place of their full complement of thousands, only st,
about 120 in the aggregate are working ; yet, few as the
" knobstrcks '' arc (to use the current phrase), the turn- 15
outs have assembled each dinner hour and evening in • ii
front of the mills to watch them out and to intimidate 8
them. On Monday night the conduct of one of the 10
turnouts was so violent that the police apprehended him,
and he has since been committed to prison. On Tuesday
125
night much larger crowds assembled, and in front of 10
Messrs. Eskrigge and Co.'s mill, in Heaton lane, a 1.0 (
riotous mob proceeded to assaults upon the workpeople,
which induced the police again to interfere. Mr. Brown, St.
the chief constable, had sent Sergeant Walters and six 20
police constables to pi otect the workpeople on leaving 25
the mill, and this force found it necessary to seize two of „,,,
the most active of the mob, who were at once conveyed -4')
to the Lockups. The police were followed and stoned, 12
but resolutely did their duty ; and on their return they
apprehAded a third man in the aet of throwing stones. 5
The riotous multitude were discouraged by these ex. St
amples of the way they might expect to be dealt with,
and soon afterwards began to disperse. The prevalent 17
opinion is, however, that more serious riots will yet 25 I,
follow.
