BURWELL FEN RIOTS.
THE MILITARY CALLED OUT.
For upwards of twelve months the poor lands of Bur-
well have been the subject of considerable agitation and
dissension among the inhabitants of the town, is con-
sequence of the refusal of the poor to allow the authori-
ties to carry out an order made by the Cour: of Chan-
cery, for the better regulation and cultivation of the said
lands.
Mr. C. M. Bidwell, surveyor, of Ely, was appointed
by the court as manager to carry out its order. About
six months since, when he attempted to, commence the
work, he was much maltreated, and thrown into a ditch,
the mob dtclaring they would serve anybody else the
same that came there to interfere with their land.
Things remained in this state until about six weeks
since, wken twelve of the metropolitan police were sent
for, and application was made for the assistance of the
military, for the labourers determined to resist the civil
authority.
Towards eight o'clock on Thursday upwards of five
hundred had assembled, including a great many females,
and in the course of half an hour a company of
the 48th Regiment of Foot, commanded by Colonel
Wetherell, defiled before the mob. These having been
followed by about forty of the 11th Hussars, with two
magistrates, the Rev. J. T. Bennett and A. Cotton,
Ebq., formal possession was taken of the ground by
Mr. Bidwell and his men. Seventeen of the ring-
leaders were then apprehended, and conveyed to the
Fox public-house, when two of them were committed
for contempt of the Court of Chancery, and five of
thorn were remanded until Monday for an assault on
one of the magistrates (Mr. A. Cotton) on the pre-
vious Friday. The rest were bailed out. Thus
finding they had been thwarted, a large number of the
labourers made application to Mr. Bidwell to put them
to work, and the probability is, that for some months to
come nearly 100 of these very labourers will be engaged
in the work of levelling and claying these very lands,
preparatory to their being parcelled out to the really de-
scrying poor of the pariah at a nominal r(nt. The
Hussars returned back to their quarters at Newmarket.
