This,was an indictment against the defendant
JohriTranii, Charles Millary, and RaEph
ton ; all of Leeds, journeymen shoe-makers, for
conspirin 1:2 cause William Fish, who was Asc.;
a journeyman sltoesmaker, to be dismis-sed frotd
his employment,
Mr. .1.-I-Ar_DV Stated the case to the Jury ; he ob-'.
...,etved that some years ago an Act of Isarliament
gave a Jegal existence to Friendly Societies;
whieh, as they were originally constituted, were
alike advantageous to those.- concerned in thent
. and the public ; but, under the colour and pro-:
tection of,these societies, others had arisen, of a •
very different complexion, and of a most perni-
cious tendency, the object of which was, by week.;
ly contributions, to. raise a fUnd for the purpose
of obtaining an
_increase of wages, .and
was effected in this manner : when any Workmen
:struck, that is,' 'gave over working ,to obtain an
,i
advance of wages, any particular town or dir-
triet, the persOns so out of employment were
maintained by this fund 3 when'this object we 3
obtained, the workmen iu another, distriet struck-
in like manner, and received the like Support.
It was for nonpayment to this fund that de-
feadants had determined to remove W. Fish front
Isis employment,_ wlticit they effected. by steeting;
.to his employer, that if he did not dismiss hiat
they would leave his service; which. induced his
master to discharge him front his service, and the
consequenee Was, that William Fish 'became
chargeable to the township of Leedt;, who were'
at the expense of the present prosecution.
George Sharpe stated that he was a shoe=maker
at Leeds, and generally employed about nine
journeymen ; the defendants had been employed
• by him, find a person of the name of Willial
Fish also worked for him. On the 26th of Junes
Charle's Millary and Frank came to his shop, and
told him they were determined to take in no more
work until he had "turned Fish off. Witness told
them they had better be quiet and
work. Witness did not, inform them whether he
could comply with their wishes or not; but he in
fact discharged Fish in consequence of what they
had said to him.—After he had discharged Mini.
witness took somei work to Burniston, whoin•-
• formed him he did not mean to take any more in-
When witness inquired the reason, he said it was
because he employed Fish. Witness, having in'
formed him that he had discharged him, Burniston- •
received the work as usual. Witness further stat'
ed, that when Millary brought in the boots 11
demanded pay for them, and said he did not mean
to take any more work until the business ,Was,,set,"
tied with respect to Fish. Witness was neNt clayt
sent for to a public-house, where he found the;
defendants_ and six or .seven others ; they told
him,they•had sent for him to. learn whether he
meant to turn Fish off or not.—Witness told -
them be had discharged him ; on
,which they es'
pressed themselves satisfied,. and said they would -
return to their work as usual.

mei•ely stated the fact of his be-
ing discharged, and having applied to the parish'
for•relicl, and that he was in arrears to the funi-'
Witness 'lipplied to the'parish in the first instance,/
without asking for work at any other shop. -
The Judge asked some questions of Mr. Shat•
as to the wttges that could .he earned in thebusi-
uess ; he said they must work toletably,sten.dy
earn a gui a week.
Itutir, said, he thought there was no cvi-'
deuce of. Buruistoa being in the conspiracy,_
Mr. Sharp lia4,diSinisseic Fish before he had see'
Burniston-; but hi.; Lordship thought his ton.::nz,"'
ring in the same object, by refusiag to xvork
til Fish should be discharged, and his pre'
sent at the pnblid-house when the same (lcinana:
was, tirade, was sufficient to rendOr him a party to
the conspiracy.
The Jury found all the defendants guilty, and
they were sentenced to be imprisoned six months its
