THE PRINTING TRADE.
TO THE EDITOI: tir THE

SIR—I observe in your paper of Tuesday an appeal
to the public on behalf of the unemployed compositors
and pressmen in the metropolis, by Mr. Bicknell. As a
person who has been long and still is connected with
the press, and who has had ample opportunity of know-
ing the arduous nature of the employment, I sincerely
hope that the appeal now made will meet with a hearty
r and ready response. But while such is my hope, I think
the present is a fitting moment for bringing under the
notice of the printers in connection with the appeal now
made to the public, the great hardship which their
" combination,' for to all intents and purposes it is a
" combination," inflicts upon the employers, and the
disadvantage it entails upon themselves. One passage
in Mr. Bicknell's address is apt to mislead. He says,
" In the composing branch upwards of 1,000 are seeking
employment in vain, and besides about 500 more ave-
raging ten shillings a week." Now, it may be supposed
that this is the average allowance for the week's work,
while the truth is, that it is the remuneration which will
be earned in less than two days. It may be said
that this does not lessen the distress arising from the
want of sufficient employment. It does not; but it leads
me to say, that sooner than accept of a reduced rate of
allowance, compositors will go about idle. In the pro.
vinces no journeyman is allowed to accept of less than a
.fixed rate of wages, and neither will the employer be
allowed to exercise his undoubted right of employing as
many apprentices as he pleases. I have known of in-
stances where the workmen have come in a body, and
told the master that the apprentice he had intro-
duced, being one more than the " trade " allowed, he
must be dismissed, otherwise they would strike. In most
businesses a threat of this kind can be resisted (as wit-
ness the late strike at the new Houses of Parliament)
by the employer. He may let his work stand, and
throw himself upon the indulgence of the parties who
have contracted with him for work—but the proprietor
of a newspaper is powerless. The salvation of his pro-
perty depends upon the publication of his paper by a cer-
tain day and hour ; and to keep up a warfare with
the hands upon whom he depends for the accomplish-
ment of this is out of the question. I have no hesitation
in saying that these arbitrary rules have tended in a
great many instances to sour employers towards their
workmen, and to put a clog on speculations calculated to
create employment. Many newspapers and publications
would hare been started had it not been for the obstruc-
tions thrown in the way of conducting the mechanical
department in an economical manner, and booksellers
and others would have added " printers" to their other
avocations, had they seen the prospect of a profit. At
present in provincial towns there is no hope for a man
establishing himself as a printer, unless he be able and
willing to work at the business with his own hands. Now
look at the effect. A practical printer commences busi-
ness for himself, takes as many apprentices as he likes—
the rules of the " trade" cannot reach him, because he
has no journeymen upon whom the rules can be brought
to bear. A newspaper proprietor again, who employs
a number of journeymen on the newspaper and on job
printing, has to compete with his neighbour over the
way, who works with his own hands, and is aided
by apprentices. The one must pay a certain sum to his
journeymen, and employ only a certain number of ap-
prentices, the other can do as he likes,—he is beyond
the reach of the combined compositors. Is not this an
obstruction to enterprise in the printing business ? Is it
just or equitable that the printers should convert into a
lever to raise wages, the peculiarity I have noticed in the
newspaper trade ? In the English provincial towns, 245.
must be paid to every journeyman, no matter what his
abilities are ; in Scotland 20s. is the smallest sum. If
you engage a journeyman you engage a man " protected"
at all points. First, his wages are fixed ; and, second,
his station must he kept up by an embargo on appren-
tices. His capabilities are the only thing about which
there is any doubt. It may be said, well, look at our
condition even with the limitations we have fixed, what
would it have been had we allowed the competition to ex-
ist which arises from an unlimited number of appren-
tices ? This looks specious, but it is hollow. Every-
thing which cramps the efforts of employers is sure to
operate, sooner or later, against the employed. My im-
pression is that had the non-restrictive policy not been
in operation, the wages of good workmen would not have
been less than they are at present, and a greater demand
for hands would have existed, as well as a more friendly
spirit between the employer and the employed. While
I allow the right of every man to sell his labour at the
best market, I deny as firmly his right to adopt other
than legitimate means to effect his object.
As regards the question of " relief," the necessity of
affording it rests up the existence of distress, and there
can be no doubt that that distress does exist to a touch-
ing extent.
Nov. 3, 1841. FAIR PLAY.

A LESSON TO POLITICAL CON-

SPIRATORS.

In the month of March, 1840, Robert Pedie, William
Brooke, Paul Holesworth, and James Drake, were tried
at York, among others of the " Chartists," upon the
charge of "conspiracy to raise insurrections," &c., in
Bradford, and the two former had been committed for
high treason. An important part of the evidence was
supplied by John Ashton, an accomplice, and James
Harrison, who admitted himself to be a paid spy, and
that he had been instrumental, to a certain extent, in for-
warding the design which he came to prove. The four
defendants were found guilty, and sentenced as follows :
Pedie, to be imprisoned threw years in Beverly House of
Correction ; Brooke, three years in Northallerton ;
Holdsworth, three years in Northallerton ; and Drake,
eighteen months in Beverly. On the 23d of last
month (October) the James Harrison above mentioned
was tried at the Preston Quarter Sessions, upon the
charge of stealing a horse, the property of Stephen
Fawcett. He was found guilty, and sentenced to be im-
prisoned, with hard labour, in the Castle of Lancaster,
for two years. He had once been a turnkey in the Pres-
ton House of Correction, and was subsequently well
known in that neighbourhood as a common informer.
It was proved at the trial that Harrison's offence had
been effected by a scheme of singular atrocity, and quite
in keeping with his previous habits. He had employed
two young men (who did not clearly appear to have any
guilty knowledge in the matter) as his agents, to lead
the horse to a place at which he appointed to meet
them, and pay them for their trouble. He then informed
against them to the police, telling an officer such an
account as might ensure their detection ; at the same
time, however, suggesting to him that he should not be
too hasty in making known the guilty parties, as it was
most likely a " reward" would be advertised, if sufficient
time were allowed ! The agents, Edward English and
William Lambert, were accordingly apprehended and
committed for trial. But finally the tables were turned
on the informer, who this time stood in the dock, in-
stead of the witness-box, while the two young men were
brought as witnesses against him, and were afterwards
discharged from custody, and so luckily escaped the trap
that had been laid for them.

ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
COURT OF CHANCERY—NEW JUDGES.
As the Bill entitled An Act to make further Pro-
vision for the Administration of Justice," originally pre-
sented to the Lords, but afterwards originated in the
Commons, oa account of money clauses, must now be
viewed as the law of the land, a fuller abstract of it, as
it finally passed, than has yet appeared, may be accept-
able and useful.
Preamble.—Whereas the business on the plea side
of her Majesty's Court of Exchequer at Westminster
has of ;ate years greatly increased, and a transfer to the

affect the power, authority, or jurisdiction of, or incident

:as a court of revenue, not heretofore exercised by the
same court sitting as a court of equity.
2. Suits depending, and proceedings transferred to
tine Court of Chancery, to be carried on according to
Ile practice of that court, after the said 15th of Octo-

it; shall so think fit.

flae taxation of costs, &c.
4. Gives, after the 15th instant, power to the Court

o iary way, without bill filed to restrain the Governor
a nd Company of the Bank of England, or any other
