THE COAL TRADE.

The Coal and Corn Committee of the Corporation of
London have referred the evidence•given before the Com-
mittee of the House of Commons to the consideration of
the law officers of the Crown and the Corporation to as-
certain whether it will sustain an indictment for a con-
spiracy. The following evidence is amongst the most im-
portant in the mass of testimony taken before the Com-
mittee, and constitutes the most remarkable feature of the
proceedings which have given rise to the contemplated pro-
secution :
Mr. John Zachary Dyer called in, and examined.
CHAIRMAN—Have you been a coal merchant in Lon-
don, and also a shipowner, for a number of years ?—I have.
For how long ?—More than 40 years.
Are you engaged in business in London also ?—As a coal
merchant and shipowner.
Do you bring your own coals to market ?—Yes.
Have you traded to the ports of Sunderland, Newcastle,
and Tees ?—Yes, I have.

Are you acquainted with the proceedings of the Com-
mittee of coal factors for the regulation of the supply of the
markets ?—I know a good deal of the system ; I am not one
of them.

What has been the effect of the regulations passed by
the factors on the supply of the market ; have you found
it facilitate the supply or interfere with the supply ?—The
supply has not been so large in the market in my opinion.
Have you occasion to go to market and buy yourself?—
Yes, every market day.
Have you found any difficulty in obtaining the quan-
tity of any kind of coals you wanted —I never found any
difficulty.

Whai do you mean by saying the supply has been limi-
ted, if you have never found any difficulty ?—Sometimes we
might have bought more coals if there had been more coals
put on the market ; sometimes there were only 40 ships in
the market—sometimes 60, sometimes 70 ; and there would
be 200 or 300 remaining behind them.
Have you concurred in that regulation yourself?—l
never was asked about it.

Have you found any inconvenience either as a coalownor
or shipowner?—As a shipowner I hare found very great
inconvenience in leading my ships in the North.
State what that inconvenience was ?—I never found any
inconvenience until the latter part of 1834 ; when, at Sun-
derland, in consequence of not letting any ships go through
the regulation of the London market, I could get no best
coals sold to me.

State what inconvenience you did suffer?—When I came
to London with best coals, Mr. Scott, the Secretary of the
factors, wrote down to the Chairman of the Committee at
Newcastle, and stated my ships (the Olive Branch and
the Lavinia) had not conformed to the regulation of the
factors is London, in not lying the turn required by the
factors' regulation.
Have you a copy of Mr. Scott's letter ?—No ; I have
my own captain's letter, where he states he has ben refused
being loaded. This is a letter from Captain Mason, of the
Olive Branch, dated Sunderland, Nov. 25, 1835, in which
he states—

" I am also sorry to state that Mr. Husdell received a
letter yesterday morning concerning the Olive Branch
going to work on the 4th of November, without lying in
turn for a meter a regular turn for sale, from the Preident
of the Northern Coal Trade Committee—viz., a Mr. C.
Brandling, communication received from a Mr. T. B. Scott,
on or about the Coal Exchange, complaining that such
gross violations of the rules and regulations of the coal-
market ought to be immediately stopped ; which informa-
tion being considered by Mr. Husdell official, he has de-
clined loading the Olive Branch in future. I should have
been loaded with Russell's Hetton's Walls-end only for that
letter ; notwithstanding I think I can get a cargo of Sun-
derland coals, if you pay into the bank for me a bond of
140/."

Who is Mr. Ilusdell mentioned in that letter?—He is
the fitter of the Russell's Hettons.

What did you do in consequence of that ?—I paid the
money into Jones, Lloyd. and Co.'s, for the cargo of coals.
He met Mr. Spence, who is the agent of the Marquis of
Londonderry, and he said if he would take a steamboat,
and go to Seaham, the ship would be loaded that night.
He took a steam-boat, and went to Seahatn, and got loaded
in the night, and paid for the cargo of coals. When he was
loaded, they were very much displeased at finding they had
loaded the wrong ship, and said they would not have loaded
her if they had known it been my ship.

Was she loaded with the best coals ?-17cs, the best
coals—Stewart's. I had a letter from. Mr. Husdell himself,
which I will hand in.

Sept. 19, 1835.
" Sir,—l have loaded your vessel, Olive Branch, with a
cargo of Russell's Lyon's Walls-end coals, with the under-
standing with Captain Mason, that his vessel lies the re-
gular days before commencing to discharge. As I have ex-
ceeded my instructions in loading the above vessel, I trust
that you will comply with the arrangement made by Cap-
tain Mason."

When the vessel arrived in London, did you comply
with that request ?—I did not ; I took the coals myself,
and went to work directly.
Did you send the Olive Branch back again ?—The
Captain went with the vessel to Hartlepool.
Did you get a cargo there ?—He did, on condition that
the vessel should go to Chatham.

Was she freighted from Chatham ?—No : I gave
the Captain a carte bllnche to go where be liked ; I was
certain I could get none at Sunderland.

Have you a- letter from Hartlepool, Stating wiUt be
had done ?—I have a letter, stating that be should go to
Chatham.

Does he state the reason ?—They would not suffer him
to come to London ; they would not load the coals for'
London, and he promised to go to Chatham, and he did
go there ; but he could not make a good bargain there,
and he carne here.

fic ultimately come to London, contrary to his agree-
ment ?—Yes ; he could not sell the coals at Chatham for a
good price. _ _ _

Is that captain in London ?—No ; he is coming from
Guernsey now ; I expect him here shortly. I have a letter
of his, dated Sunderland, January 2, 1835 :
" Sir,--I have to inform you of the safe arrival of the
Olive Branch at Hartlepool. I got in there last night,
after a most curious passage of fogs and palm 4, and I may
oay strong gales of wind, I will be able to get a cargo of
the Hetton Wall s=end ; but it is just as I thought it would
be, I shall have to tell a hundred lies I indeed, I think I
shall contract such a habit of lying that I shan't be able to
give it up, We have not only factors and coalowners to
contend with, but a whole host of shipowners, that are com-
pelled, by their connection with factors, to chime in with
the present shameful regulations, and to show their attach-
ment to the enus© fall foul of me ; but I have stopped a few
of their mouths by telling them there is a Bill pending in
Parliament to put a stop to all illegal combinations. I would
have run straight down to Elgin, agreable to yoor \Nish, b‘it
the men wanted .sf, 194.. which V.0440?(.1 t? phy,

Did that ship go back again ?—She went back to sun-
derland again.
Did she get a cargo ?—He then went to Guernsey ; sl e
could pot get a cargo.
