RIOT NEAR GLASGOW.

Thursday last a very serious riot took place
in Camlachie, of which the following are the authentic_partie
culars. Mr. George Smith, weaver, Camlachie, has's finlk
of six sons and three daughters. H has six looms occupiea
by himself and five of his sons. He has taken all his work
from Mr. Peter Hutchinson, ever since that gentleman come
meneed business. He always found that he paid as high
prices as were given by any ; and he would never seek a better
master. Thursday morning, between nine and ten while Mr.
Smith was engaged in making new shutters for his windows,
his shop was beset by a rabble, who attempted to get into the
loom-shop, but the door being fastened, they hung about the
windows, and damned him to come out, and they would giro
him a good thrashing. No answer was given, but those within
continued working. They then left the premises, but eon'
tinned to lounge in groups about the village. About two
o'clock they gatliered in a field on the north side of the village.
Some of the most active were noticed engaged in making UP
an effigy intended to represent Mr. Smith,
sen. The figure was
stuffed with straw, and there was on it clothes exactly ream.
bling those worn by Mr. Smith. The white night-cap he wears
was not forgotten; and there was the appearance of a web wse
der the figure's arm, with a white cloth round it—the same as
Smith carries with his cloth to the warehouse. Indeed, the
personification was so complete, that the family say they might
have mistaken it for their father, but tbr the ill-painted face.—•
There was a label on the breast with the inscription, "A warnht
to all traitors deserting their colours." They went by the bac
of the houses, and came down Whitevale, carrying the et
shoulder high. There was a number of men and women collected,
who advanced with the most horrid yells and shouts, and stop,*
ped in front of Mr. Smith's house. They used the most-odioaa
expressions to the family, held the effigy close to the window;
a fellow with a rope inflicted twenty lashes onit ; the crowd them
huzzaed and shouted for joy, and went parading the effigy
through the village, which was now in a state of indescrihabfe
confusion. With augmented numbers they reached Park.
head and stopped at Mr. Hall's, one of Mr. Hutchinson's.
weavers, and who is determined not to drop hint;
Smith's, beyond Parkhetul ; then to Mr. Dunmore's, West.,
muir. At all these houses, and several others who were r
noxious because they would not leave Mr. HutehhlemLi''n.:
rabble vented their spleen, insulting them and their
in the grossest manner, and threatening them. The effigy
flogged before each of their doors. After the mob had acted Yr
this manner for more than an hour, reinforced by most of the
inhabitants of these villages, they returned to Camlachie stem
four o'clock. In the interval Mr. Smith dispatched a Diemen'
then to 41ef
to
ger to Mr: Hutchinson's warehouse, and the foreman wen!
the Police Office, and requested the assistance of the, civil
power. The mob, to the number of 700 or 800, Lien 81,-.
ambled opposite to Mr. Smith's house, held up the eiugY
the window, and the women who were very dent
and particularly active, and forgetting their natural rnediell
used the most disgraceful epithets to the family, and dec ar c.
they would burn them all alive. They went to a wooden
tion
tion that had been fitted for a butcher's stand. Here a feß7ter
performed the part of hangman in due form ; and
hanging for some time, the effigy was taken down. Pleraniof
tions were in the interim making to burn it, and a quantity
shavings and a shovelful of live coals were taken from anl,l.
joining brick-kiln, and laid on the foot-pavement opposite
smith's windows. Here they continued shouting and hui
ling, and expressing their determination to burn Mr. Sine
alive. As they were about to consign the effigy to the flames:
the police came upon them by surprise, and they, quite con`
founded, dispersed in all directions. 'Mr. Smith is a Hof
peaceable well-doing man,`and would give no offence to say
his neighbours. His family live very retired; and during
hB
tf:
radical rebellion he wholly abstained from it. A grodgeli
says, has always been borne him for this. A party of the po
remained in the house till eleven o'clock ; and on the leas'
alarm, measures were taken for an instantaneous comityirdes"
