RIOTS IN WALES.

(From the Merthyr Guardian.)
SCOTCH CATTLE.

We are sincerely concerned in recording that this
disgrace to our country has again occurred at the Bute
Works. On Monday night, the 12th instant (to-
wards midnight), about fifty of these marauders,
dressed up in various habits, made their appearance at
the above works, with the usual prelude of cows' horns,
and an imitation of the lowing. of cattle ; they at-
tacked and broke windows and furniture in several
houses. The most active exertions are making to
find out these ruffians, on whom former lenity has had
so bad an effect. Since writing the above we have
heard that on the same night some evil-disposed men
went to the mine levels at Llwydcoed, Aberdare, be-
longing to the Gadlys Iron Company, and broke in
pieces a great number of the poor miners' tools, de-
stroyed their candles, and scattered their powder all
over the levels. The offence is supposed to have been
that some miners had presumed to work there con-
trary to the regulations of these tyrannical depre-
dators.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.—We have to record another
disgraceful outrage of the Scotch Cattle at Blaencarno
(Bute Works) last night : they came about 11 o'clock
by the Rumney Inn, ordered a person standing at the
door to go in and shut the door, and then fired off a
pistol by way of bravado. They then ordered the
tollkeeper to open his gate, go into the house, and
shut the door. From thence they proceeded to
Blaencarno, where they had been the previous night,
and broke into the house of David Jenkins, a master
miner, whom they beat in his bed, and smashed his
bed all into pieces. When the proprietor of the works
came there the following morning the poor man's blood
was all over the floor. These cowards then put his
furniture on the fire, and very nearly burnt down the
house, having also smashed every pane of glass in the
house ; they also beat the man's mother, an old woman
near seventy years of age. The poor fellows whose
houses have been pillaged are so fearful of a repetition
of the outrage that their fires are extinguished before
night, their wives and families are removed, and they
keep a lighted candle concealed in a chest, for fear of
the light being seen through their windows I and this
is in happy and peaceful England 1 ! !
