MIL ROEBUCK V. MR. CONNOLLY.

A special meeting of the delegates representing the
London trades societies at the late Conference at St.
Martin's Hall was held last evening at the Sussex
Hall, Bouverie-street, Fleet-street, for the purpose
of taking into consideration the course to be pursued
by the trades towards the Commission, consequent
upon the exclusion of the trades' representative, Mr.
Connolly, from the sittings of the Commission for
having made certain remarks upon the public con-
duct of Mr. Roebuck, M.P. Mr. George Potter
occupied the chair.

The CHAIR3IIN, in opening the proceedings, said
he considered the conduct pursued by the Commis-
sion towards Mr. Connolly a gross act of tyranny,
and an unwarrantable interference with the freedom
of speech. (Hear.) Had Mr. Connolly spoken of
Mr. Roebuck as a member of the Commission, there
might have been some ground for the interference of
the commissioners in their official capacity ; but Mr.
Connolly referred to Mr. Roebuck only as a member
of Parliament. Mr. Roebuck might or might not be
what Mr. Connolly described him to be, but in either
case the Commission had exceeded its powers' in
making itself a partisan on either side.

The SECRETARY read a le' ter from Mr. M'Donald,
president of the Miners' Association, recommend-
ing that all further communication between the
trades and the Commission should cease until
the resolution of expulsion was rescinded. He
also read a letter from the committee of the
London Compositors' Society strongly condemna-
tory of the Commission.

Mr. CONNOLLY then rose, amidst loud cheers, and
gave a detailed report of the proceedings at the
Commission, resulting in his exclusion. All that he
had said about Mr. Roebuck he was prepared to re-
peat.

Mr. PACKER (turner) then moved a resolution,
describing Mr. Connolly's exclusion as an act of
tyranny calling for the strongest condemnation.
Mr. PARISH (brushmaker) seconded the resolu-
tion, which, having been supported by several other
delegates, was carried unanimously.
It was agreed to discuss at a future meeting the
propriety of marking their sense of the conduct of
th 6 commissioners in this matter, by abstaining from
any further communication with them.
The proceedings then adjourned.
