MEETING AT OLDHAM.—Wednesday a
special meeting of the commissioners of police for this
township was held to consider the conduct of the po-
lice officers who forcibly entered the trades' union
lodge on the 14th ult., and to which circumstance the
late disturbances have been attributed. Mr. J. Hal-
liwell, churchwarden, was in the chair. Mr. Swire
enlarged at great length upon the improper and un-
authorized proceedings of the officers. Mr. Wright
urged the propriety of permitting the matter to lie
over until after the trial of the unionists. After a
great deal of wrangling, a motion was made that the

MEETING OF JOURNEYMEN BUTCHERS.
—On Tuesday evening a meeting of journeymen
butchers was convened at the Job's Castle, Norton
Folgate, for the purpose, as the placards stated, of
"emancipating themselves from their present enslaved
condition, by joining the Metropolitan Consolidated
Trades' Union, and it was particularly requested that
no gentleman would present himself to the meeting if
not quite sober." At half-past seven o'clock upwards
of twenty persons had assembled, and business com-
menced by the appointing of a chairman, who ad-
dressed the meeting at considerable length ; but as he
had not paid due attention to the exhortation contained
in the placard, his speech was not so intelligible as the
audience desired, and much disapprobation ensued.
At length Mr. Charles Clark rose and said the chair-
man had told them a great deal about "this, that, and
t'other," but he had not told them how to better their
condition, nor did he think he could. However, if he
could, he (Clark) would be happy to hear him, and
could answer for a great number of butchers becoming
unionists ; but as to their throwing themselves out of
work, and half-starving their wives and families, he,
for one, could not see the possibility of any good re-
sulting from such a course. The chairman here at-
tempted to speak again, but was put down by Mr. T.
Aldridge telling him he was an old fool. A desultory
conversation then ensued, respecting the appointment
of a committee, which ended in a motion to that effect
being negatived by a large majority, and the meeting
quietly dispersed.
