siding abroad ; also into the state of the law and its conse-
quences, respecting the exportation of tools and machinery ;
and into the state of the law and its effects, so far as relates to
the combination of workmen to raise wages, or to regulate thtir
wages and hours of working, and to report their opinion and
observations thereupon to the House."
Mr. BoYrtx seeing Mr. Kirwan. ascend the table for the
purpose of speaking, asked that. Gentleman if he was a mer-
chant oe manufacturer ?

He stnswered in the negative.—Some confusion ensued.
The LORD MAYOR thought Mr. Kirwan should be heard,
and took the sense of the Meeting upon it. It decided on
hearing him. He then immediately re-ascended the table.
Mr. KIRWAN disapproved of the present proceedings. Ire
took a review of the statutes passed on the subject which was
under discussion. Combination existed not- alone among the
working classes, but he insisted existed to a much greater ex-
tent among masters.—(Hear !)—He alluded to the original type-
founders and other trades. By coining there, the Meeting
added new fuel to combination. Lawyers had been fed—
(some uproar and hissing.)—Adverting to the paper manufac-
turers of Scotland, he said they had combined against their
own artizans, and English artizans were introduced, leading. to
many ill consequences. He was averse to any interference with
trade. He appealed to Master Ellis, if the taking off the late
protecting duties had not served trade, and deprecated any inter-
ference between " the labourer and his hire," who had a right
to demand a remuneration for his labour—the poor man's wealth.
He called on the Meeting to adjourn, and not to interfere with
the purposes of trade.—(Some hisses and cheers.)
Mr. BOYLAN pressed his Resolution. He felt as much inte-
rest in the welfare of the journeymen as any man in that Meet.
ing. lie had paid one hundred thousand pounds for labour in
twenty years. A stranger from England, an Irishman, had
laid the foundation of a vile and mischievous combination in
the establishment he then controlled, and to support which
he came from England ; but for the last six years no
symptom of combination had shewn itself in his most ex-
tensive establishment, because he treated his men as they
were treated in England. On a recent occasion it was
proposed to reduce the price of wages 6d. per diem, and hii
men had met him half way in the new arrangement, as muter
and friend.

Mr. COMERFORD said, there was no question in political
economy more difficult for discussion than the present. It was
urged by an able writer, that combination, or re-action, was re-
quisite to correct the conduct of the masters. He alluded to the
practice of introducing what are termed colts, and the effect of
such a system. There was, lie added, a tendency in all trades
too fast, and the tradesmen's object at all times was to prevent
that increase.

The LORD MAYOR interrupted him, and requested he
would confine himself to the subject matter which had brought
the Meeting together ; he would reeal the general attention to
the proposed amendment; that was not the moment to go into
so general a field of argument as that taken by Mr. Comerford.
Sir A. B, KING recalled the attention of the Meeting to the
question before them—that of adjournment, would take
for of all others.—Giving Mr. Latouche every cedit for his
intentions, he differed with him as to the mode of putting an
end to combination, nor would it be calculated to carry into
effect his most benevolent intentions. He moved that the
Meeting do adjourn.
Mr. LATOUCHE seconded the motion for adjournment.
After some words from Mr. LEAR recommending that the
information sought to be obtained for Master Ellis should be
encouraged.

The Loup MAYOR put the question of adjournment to the
Ist of May, which was carried unanimously, and the company
separated.— ( Dublin Correspondent. )
