CENTRAL CRIMINAL COUR I:—This Day.

(Before the Recorder.)
THE TAILORS' STRIKE.

William Jelley and John Hall were indicted for
unlawfully combining, confederating, and agreeing
together, with divers others, to force by means of
threats and molestation one Margaret Itattenbury,
a person employed in the business of a tailor, to
depart from her employment, hiring, and work.
Sergeant Ballantine appeared for the prosecution,
and Mr. Keene, QC., was for the defence.

The Learned Sergeant, in his opening address to
the said they were probably aware that in
former jury,
persons were not allowed to combine
ury,
times
together to raise the rate of wages. So far back,
however, as 1825 an act was passed which provided
that it was not illegal to combine together to effect
that object ; but it also provided that if any person
should, by violence, or threats, or by intimidation,
molestation, or obstruction, endeavour to force
another person to depart from his work, or from
accepting work or employment, he should be guilty
of punishable with imprisonment.
an o
Doubts were afterwards entertained as to what was
a molesting within the meaning of that statute, and
in 1859 an Act was passed according to which it
was perfectly clear that any person had a right to
refuse to work for any wages that might be offered,
and had also a right to combine with others not to
work, and to persuade others to abstain from
working. All that was perfectly lawful, but
what was not lawful was . the preventing
others from working, if they pleased, by threats
or intimidation. The person so threatened and
molested by the prisoners was a tailoress named
Margaret Rattenbury, and she was in the employ
of Mr. Bowater, one of the masters, whose hands
had taken part in the strike. The prosecutrix was
met by the prisoners, after receiving work from
Mr. Bowater, and after persuasion had proved
abortive they told her it would be worse for her in
the long run if she did not refuse to work for one
who had refused to agree to the demand of their
men for an increase of wages.
The evidence was given at length in The Sun on
the occasion of the examination, and committal of
the prisoners for trial by Mr. Knox, at the Marl-
borough-street police-court.
The jury retired to deliberate upon their verdict.
Upon tieir return into court they found the pri-
sonir [Lill not guilty, and convicted Jelly of in-
timidation. Sentence deferred.

"'Robert George Dean, traveller, was indicted for
embezzling various sums of money, the property of
his employer !James Anderson.
Thejury found him guilty, and he was sentenced
to nine months' imprisonment with bard labour.
