were spoilt. A number of barrows and other pro-
perty were destroyed, and the loss would be about
£4O. Thought at the time the pre miser had taken

fire accidentally, but, finding bottles of naphtha
- - -

and oil left on the premises, he thought it must have
been maliciously done. He offered a reward of £5,
but did not discover the offenders. Worked com-
fortably afterwards up to 1864. Employed non-
union men up to 1861, but employed union men
afterwards, because he wanted his WWI done and to
go en comfortably.

James Clifford, examined by Mr. Pickering

Worked for the last witness in 1859. There was a
union about to be formed of briekmakers at the
time. He and the men employed. by Mr. Taylor
were non-union men. One of the unionists came,
named James Marsden, and asked them if they
would join the union. They answered they did not
know. Remembered the fire at Taylor's yard. He
had no watchman at the time, but bad afterwards.
Had been a member of the union, but left it because
he did not like it.

John Butterfield said he is the son of John King
Butterfield, who had been watchman in February,
1861, at Mr. Joseph Barlow's brickcroft in Droyls-
den. Some men came at the time and threatened
him if he started watching. There were two or
three, and they kicked up a regular row. They said
they would do something at him if he started firing
(the bricks). His father went that night and lit
the fire. His father's horse after this had its throat
cut, but only skin-deep. The horse had his back
sinews cut, and had to be shot there and then.
This was six months after. His father continued to
watch and fire after this. The union men were on
strike at the time, but Barlow's men were at work.

Joseph Frith, examined by Mr. Pickering—ls a
member of the Ashton trades' union, and had been
president one quarter of last year. Was a member,
and went to the bottle-throwing at Kirk's. He
was there with Burke and the others, and received a
pound. He believed Ensor was engaged to carry
out the affair, and paid all the money. The reason
for the attack on Kirk's and Clifford's places was
that they employed non-union men. He had not
been concerned in any other. He did not know
of any depredations while he was president, but if
there were any he should pay for it as president.
He was president in 1860 or 1861, and remembered
paying Ensor £l5 or £2O, but could not remember
what it was for. Thought it was for spoiling bricks.
The secretary gave him the money and entered it as
he liked. His duty would simply be to pay the
money. The money was kept in a safe with five
keys, which were held by five different persons,
who had all to be present when it was opened.
By Mr. Chance—Had only been at two of these
affairs, and never intended to be at any more. He
did not approve these outrages, and should be glad
to put a stop to them.

Before the Commissioners adjourned to lunch at
one o'clock Mr. W. P. Roberts served the following
notice on the Court in reference to the box they had
threatened to force open :
"To Messrs. Pickering, Barstow, and Chance,
barristers-at-law, Commissioners acting in the
Assize Courts, in Manchester, under the ' Trades
Union Commission Act, 1867.'—1, the undersigned
Willian Prouting Roberts, of 44, Princes-street,
gentleman, attorneyfor the Brickmakers' Society of
Manchester, for whom I am appearing in the said
courts, hereby give
you notice that the said society
deny your right to seize, or authorise the seizing, of
their boxes (the same having been seized and taken
away from their possession, as is said, by your
authority and connivance), and they require you to
cause such boxes to be taken back to the place and
places from which they were so illegally taken. And
they deny your right and the right of all persons to
open the said boxes by violence or otherwise. And
if any violence is used to the said boxes, or any
boxes or property belonging to them, they will bring
an action or actions against you under the Bth sec-
tion of the said Act, and also against all other per-
sons by whom such violence is authorised or prac-
tised. And they desire me to require you to stop
at once the practice of examining them in private,
either before or after any public examinations, or at
any other time or times, such private examination
being most unfair and partial, and calculated to
entrap into admissions and statements the persons
subjected to them. And they desire to conform to
the law in all respects. And lam to inform you
that the Act of Parliament under which you are act-
ing gives no power of seizure of boxes, or of break-
ing them open, or of private examination.--Dated
this 12th day of September, 1867.
" W. P. ROBERTS."
Joseph Frith having been recalled, said that on
one occasion his carter was carting bricks to build
the Manchester City gaol, out of the Ashton dis-
trict into the Manchester district. His carter got a
good thrashing, and so did Samuel Lees, who went
with them. Witness sold about 40,000 afterwards
and had delivered

again. Manchester would not let the bricksetters
set Ashton bricks. Manchester Union claimed a
circle of four miles round Manchester for ten dis-
tricts or 121 square miles, and were too powerful for
Ashton, and the weak always fell to the wall. There
was no objection by the Stockport or Oldham
Unions to Ashton bricks. The Manchester Union
was the only one that claimed that monopoly.
James Harrison said, in answer to Mr. Chance,
that he is a master brickmaker. As a journeyman
he was a member of the Ashton Trades' Union. In
1866 his brother bad some clay that they were
grinding

grinding, because of there being lime in it. There
was a ready sale for such bricks, if they could have
supplied them. Three men came and gave notice

in which bricks were drying. About 3,000 bricks
were spoiled. Could not find out who did it. Were

damage three or four Union men. That
was they had sustained. Once
afterwards they were fined 2s. for using moulds out
sooner than 18 or 20 men should be stopped they
of shape, and as they bad a good deal of work,
paid the fine. Some of their fowls had been poisoned.
A neighbour was knocked insensible by a man on
his way home the other Sunday night, and there
was reason to suppose he had been mistaken for
their watchman.

J. Smith said in 1863 he was manager of the Ard-
wick Brickmaking Cu., and in the night a quantity
of timber had tar thrown on it. They were having
timber from Mr. Bennett, but had ceased because of
Bennett's carters being threatened and one of their
horses being killed. They were machine brick-
makers, and Bennett thought they had better get
their timber somewhere else. The tar thrown on
the timber was set alight and the timber destroyed,
or rendered unfit for the purposes intended. On
one occasion a stable was broken open of theirs, and
a grey mare being
tied up by the head shavings
were placed under it and set on fire. The horse
died within a couple of hours. This was at 3 o'clock
in the morning. A neighbouring woman gave alarm
of the fire, and said she saw three or four men like
brickmakers leave the stables. When the horse was
found it had struggled and pulled the hay cratch
down. In July,
1864 their brick carts had the
kecker bars withdrawn while the carter were lunch-
ing in the Ashton Old-road. If this had not been
,
discovered the five carts would have been upset and
the bricks in them when started, and the horses
would have been injured. A woman saw a hand
brickmaker do it, and told the carters. On another
occasion he left a boy- to take some letters to the
post-office,
and as he went three or four brickmakers
took him and threw him into a pit of water 10 to 12
feet deep, and left him there. A mechanic was
passing, or the boy must have been drowned. One
man took him by the shoulders and another by the
feet, and they threw him five or six
yards into the
water. Knew of no reason for it but that they were
makers of bricks by machinery. In June, 1861,
some brickmaker set fire to a joiner's shop belong-
ing them. A bottle had been put into his house
since that,
containing gunpowder, and a flannel
saturated with spirits. On the first of May some
bricks made by machine were sent by them in

carts, and three band brickmakers came and cut

,he ornaments from the horses, a 4cl, the traces were

cut. One of the carters came to tell him, and
he went to see what was taking place. There
were three brickmakers, and they beat him, and
one, while he was down, struck a knife at his
shoulder, but it went into the ground and the
blade broke off. It was about 3in the afternoon.
He ran off as soon as he could, and went into
a wheelwright's shop, where he got hold of a ham-
mer. By that time there was only one brickmaker
following him, and heturned on seeing the hammer.
Ile went back to the place where the knife had been
struck at his shoulder, and found a piece of the
blade of the knife in the ground two to three inches
long. That was in 1861. Ile left the company's
service in consequence of that attack, his friends
persuading him to do so for fear he would come to
some serious injury. Ultimately the company gave
up making bricks by machine, having so many
breaks down of machinery in the place that they
thought hand brickmakers got into their employ
under false pretences, and caused these breaksdown.
Machine-made bricks were much superior to hand-
made.

Thos. Cole said—ls about 14 years old. About
the latter end of 1861, about 7 o'clock, he was going
home from the works, when two men dressed in
brickmakers' clothes threw him into a pit. He could
not swim. A stranger coming by got him out. It
is a pit in an open field with a road passing it. The
men came across the railway. He was near the pit.
One man took hold of his hands and another his
legs and threw him four or five yards. Was going to
the post-office. He said nothing to the men.
John Cole, brickmaker, said he remembered in
July, 1864, there was a machine brickmaking com-
pany in Ardwick. Was taken into custody in 1861
on a charge of drawing the kecker bars from some
brick carts, but he had done nothing of the kind.
James Broom said he was a carter in the employ
of Mr. Mars and Bennett, and remembered three or
four years ago one of the horses in the stable had its
throat cut. There were seven cuts and one laid the
windpipe bare. It was in the night. The horse re-
covered. They carted timber to the machine brick-
making concern at the time, and it was supposed to
be done by brickmakers. This was a white-faced
horse among four in the stables, and was the one
employed always to take timber to the machine
makers.

The Court adjourned to Friday (this day).

MANS CHI?ISTIAN ANDERSEN.

Mr. J. Ross Browne, in " The Land of Thor,"
gives the following account of Hans Christian
Andersen at home :

The city of Copenhagen, it should be borne in
mind, is intersected by canals which, during the
summer month, are crowded with small trading
vessels from Sweden and Jutland, and fishing-smacks
from the neighbouring islands and coast of Norway.
The wharves bordering on these canals present an
exceedingly animated appearance. Peasants, sailors,
traders, and fishermen, in every variety of costume,
are gathered in groups, enjoying a social gossip, are
interchanging their various products and wares, and
strawberries from Amak and fish from the Skager-
Rack mingle their odours. In the second story of
a dingy and dilapidated house, fronting one of these
unsavoury canals, a confused pile of dirty,
shambling old tenements in the rear, and a
curious medley of fish and fishermen, sloops and
schooners, mud-scows, and skiffs in front, lives
the world-renowned author, Hans Christian
Andersen. I say he lives there, but properly speak-
mg he only lodges. It seems to be a peculiarity of
his nature to move about from time to time into all
the queer and uninviting places possible to be dis-
covered within the limits of Copenhagen—not
w here

Lays forth her grape and gently creeps

but where the roughest, nosiest, busiest, and fishiest
of an amphibious population is to be found. Here
it is, apparently, amid the most incongruous ele-
ments, that it draws from all around him the most
delicate traits of human nature, and matures for the
great outer world the most exquisite creations of his

fancy. It is purely a labour of love in which he
spends his life. The products of his pen have fur-
nished him with ample means to live in elegant
style, surrounded by all the allurements of rank and
fashion, but he prefers the obscurity of a plain
lodging amid the haunts of those classes whose lives
and pursuits he so well portrays. Here he cordially
receives all who call upon him, and they are not few.
Pilgrims of every condition in life and from all na-
tions do homage to his genius, yet,valuable as his time
is, he finds enough to spare for the kindly reception
of visitors. His only household companions appear
to be two old peasant women, whom he employs as
domestics, weather-beaten and decrepit old
creatures, with faces and forms very much like a
pair of antiquated nut-crackers. He occupies only
two or three rooms plainly furnished, and apparently
lives in the simplest and most abstemious style.
When I called according to directions, one of the
ancient nut-crackers merely pointed to the door,
and said she thought Herr Andersen was in, but
didn't know. I could knock there and try ; so I
knocked. Presently I neard a rapid step, and the
door was thrown open. Before me stood the tall,
thin, shambling, raw-boned figure of a man a little
beyond the prime of life, but not yet old, with a
pair of dancing grey eyes and a hatchet-face, all
alive with twists, and wrinkles, and muscles ; a long,
lean face, upon which stood out prominently a great
nose, diverted by a freak of nature a little to one
side, and flanked by a tremendous pair of cheek-
bones, with great hollows underneath. Innumer-
able ridges and furrows swept semi-circularly down-
ward around the corners of a great mouth—a
broad, deep, rugged fissure across the face, that
might have been mistaken for the dreadful child-
trap of an ogre, but for the sunny beams of bene-
volence that lurked around the lips, and the genial
humanity that glimmered from every nook and
turn. Neither moustache nor beard obscured the
strong inviduality of this remarkable face, which
for the most part was of a dull granite colour, a
little mixed with limestone and spotted with
patches of porphyry. A dented gotta per:tha fore-
head, very prominent about the brows, and some-
what resembling in its general topography a raised
map of Switzerland, sloped upward and backward
to the top of the head ; not a very large head, but
wonderfully bumped and battered by the operations
of the brain, and partially covered by a mop of wavy
hair, a little thin in front and somewhat grizzled
behind ; a long, bony pair of arms, with long hands
on them ; a long, lank body with a long black coat
on it ; a long, loose pair of legs, with long boots on
the feet, all in motion at the same time—all shining,
and wriggling, and working with an indescribable
vitality ; a voice bubbling up from the vast depths
below with cheery, spasmodic, and unintelligible
words of welcome—this was the wonderful man
that stood before me, the great Danish improvisator,
the lover of little children, the gentle Caliban who
dwells among fairies and holds sweet converse with
fishes, and frogs, and beetles ! I would have picked
him out from among a thousand men at the first
glance as a candidate for Congress, or the pro-
prietor of a tavern, if I had met him anywhere
in the United States. But the resemblance was
only momentary. In the quaint awkwardness
of his gestures and the simplicity of his speech

there was a certain refinement not usually found
among men of that class. Something in the spon-
taneous and almost child-like cordiality of his
greeting; the unworldly impulsiveness of his na-
ture, as he grasped both my hands i❑ his, patted me
affectionately on the shoulder and bade me wel-
come, convinced me in a moment that this was no
other, and could be no other, than Hans Christian
Andersen.

" Come in ! come in!" he said, in a gush of
broken English ; " come in and sit down. You are
welcome. Thank you—thank you very much. I
am very glad to see you. It is a rare thing to meet
a traveller all the way from California—quite a
surprise. Sit down ! Thank you !" After record-
ing conversation, and how there arose a question of
Andersen's portraits, which caused him to fetch out
a dozen from a drawer, Mr. Browne continues :
While looking over the collection, I said the like-
ness of one who had done so much to promote
the happiness of porno little friends I

.1..3.••••••••••••
had at home would be valued beyond measure ;
that I knew at least half a dozen youngsters
who were as well acquainted with the
"Little Match Girl," and the "Ugly Duck," and
the " Poor Idiot Boy," as he was himself, and his
name was as familiar in California as it was in Den-
mark. At this he grasped both my hands, and
looking straight in my face, with a kind of ecstatic
expression, said, " Oh, is it possible ? Do they
really read my books in California ? so far away !
Oh ! I thank you very much. Some of my stories,
I am aware, have been published in New York, but
I did not think they had found their way to the
Pacific Coast. Dear me ! Thank you! thank you !
Have you seen my last—the—what do you call it
in English ?—a little animal—"
" Mouse," I suggested.
" No, not a mouse; a little animal with wings."
" Oh, a bat !"

"Nay, nay, a little animal with wings and many
legs. Dear me ! I forget the name in English,
but you certainly know it in America—a very small
animal !"

In vain I tried to make a selection from all the
little animals of my acquaintance with wings and
many legs. The case was getting both embarrassing
and vexatious. At length a light broke in upon
me.

" A musquito !" I exclaimed, triumphantly.
"Nay, nay !" cried the bothered poet ; " a little
animal with a hard skin on its back. Dear me, I
can't remember the name !"

" Oh, I have it now," said I, really desirous o
relieving his mind—" a flea!"

At this the great improvisator scratched his head,
looked at the ceiling and then at the floor, after
which he took several rapid strides up and down
the room, and struck himself repeatedly on the
forehead. Suddenly grasping up a pen, he ex-
claimed, somewhat energetically, " Here ! I'll drawf
it for you; and forthwith he drew on a scrap o
paper a diagram.

" A tumble-bug !" I shouted, astonished at my
former stupidity.
The poet looked puzzled and distressed. Evi-
dently I had not yet succeeded. What could it be ?
" A beetle !" I next ventured to suggest, rather
disappointed at the result of my previous guess.
" A beetle 1 A beetle !—that's it ; now I remem-
ber—a beetle !" and the delighted author of " The
Beetle" patted me approvingly on the back, and
chuckled gleefully at his own adroit method of ex-
planation. " I'll give you the ' The Beetle,' he said
—" you shall have the only copy in my possession.
But you don't read Danish? What are we to do?
There is a partial translation in French—a mere
notice."

"No matter," I answered. " A specimen of the
Danish language will be very acceptable, and the
book will be a pleasant souvenir of my visit."
He then darted into the next room, tumbled over
a dozen piles of books, then out again, ransacked
the desks, and drawers, and heaps of old papers and
rubbish, talking all the time in his joyous, cheery
way about his books and bis travels in Jutland, and
his visit to Charles Dickens, and his intended jour-
ney through Spain, and his delight at meeting a
traveller all the way from California, and whatever
else came into his head—all in such mixed-up
broken English that the meaning must have been
utterly lost but for the wonderful expressiveness of
his face and the striking oddity of his motions. It
came to me mesmerically. He seemed like one who
glowed all over with bright and happy thoughts,
which permeated all around him with a new intelli-
gence. His presence shed a light upon others like
the rays that beamed from the eyes of "Little Sun-
shine." The book was found at last, and when he
had written his name in it, with a friendly inscrip-
tion, and pressed both my hands on the gift, and
patted me once more on the shoulder, and promised
to call at Frankfort on his return from Switzerland
to see his little friends who knew all about the
" Ugly Duck" and the "Little Match Girl," I took
my leave, more delighted, if possible, with the
author than I had ever before been with his books.
Such a man, the brightest, happiest, simplest, most
genial of human beings, is Hans Christian Andersen.
COUNCILS OF CONCILIA7 lON.

Conseils des Prud-honimes have long existed in
France, and are said to work well. They were
established for the settlement of disputes between
masters and workmen, and are in the nature of a
discussion first, and, in case of non-agreement,
by arbitration. It was argued that, were a simi-
lar institution formed in England, we should have
no more of strikes and the other more terrible

forms by which coercion is sought to be prac-
tised. The confidence that might otherwise
have been felt in the asserted successful example
of France is, however, somewhat shaken by the
fact that, in spite of these councils and this law,
strikes have become as frequent almost in France
as in England. But this ugly evidence, notwith-
standing, the system or something very like it, is to
have a trial in England. During the late session an
act was passed for the establishment of like tribunals
to be called " Councils of Conciliation." We pro-
pose briefly to describe this scheme as it is set forth
in the statute. It begins by providing that if
any number of masters and workmen in any
particular trade or employment, being inhabitant
householders, shall, at a meeting specially con-
vened for the purpose, agree to form a council
of conciliation and arbitration, and shall jointly
petition the Queen in Council stating their scheme,
a licence maybe granted to them for that purpose.
Such council is to consist of not less than two nor
more than ten of each and a chairman. The first
council is to be elected by the petitioners. It is to
be empowered to appoint a clerk or other officers ;
it may hear and determine all questions in dispute,
and differences between masters and workmen, as
set forth in sth George IV., cap. c. 96, which may be
submitted to them by both parties, and their award
is to be final and conclusive between the parties
without any appeal. The council may also adju-
dicate on disputes and differences between masters
and workmen that may be submitted to them
by mutual consent, with the same powers of
enforcement as given by the said act, and the
award in writing of the chairman is to be suffi-
cient evidence. But it is expressly provided
that nothing in the act shall authorise the
council to establish " a rate of wages or price of
labour or workmanship at which the workmen shall
in future be paid." A quorum of not less than
three, one being master, and another a work-
man, and the third the chairman, may consti-
tute a council to determine disputes. But a com-
mittee of conciliation, consisting of one master and
one workman, is to be appointed, and all disputes
are in the first instance to be referred to this com-
mittee, who shall endeavour to reconcile the parties
in difference. If this fails the case is to be remitted
to the council for settlement. The chairman is to
preside, and to have the casting vote. No counsel
nor solicitors are to attend at any hearing without
the consent of both parties. The council is to be
elected yearly, on the first Monday in November.
When such a council is formed, the clerk is to keep
a register of all persons claiming to vote for the
council, whether master or workman, a fee to be
fixed by the council to be paid by him for so doing.
And every person belonging to the trade, being 21
years of age, and an inhabitant householder, or part
occupier of any premises, or any master resident in
the place, may claim to be registered. A meeting of
masters and workmen, being registered, is to be held
after 14 days' notice, and each class is to proceed
to elect members to the council for the year ensuing,
but either party may demand a poll, the time and
place of which are to be appointed by the council.
The council may hold their meetings in any public
room with the consent of the authorities. It may
make a list of fees, by laws, &c., to be sanctioned by
the Home Office. The act is not to extend to do-
mestic servants, or servants in husbandry, and it is
to be cited as "The Councils of Conciliation Act,
1867."—Law Times.

RATES OF POSTAGE ON PRINTED MATTER TO
EUROPE AND ASIA FROM THE UNITED
STATES.

The Post-Office Department has made arrangements by
which a number of European and Asiatic countries, hithert o
beyond the reach of mail communication from America except
by letter, are brought within the range of delivery of all, or
nearly all, United States mail matter It is a singular fact,
unknown probably to most persons who have not occasion
to learn it by unpleasant experience, that there was
considerable region in the civilised world where an Ame-
rican traveller might not receive a newspaper directly from
hum e.

Under the arrangement now completed prepayment of
postage (sometimes at high rates), is made necessary in all
cases. The following on:ial statement gives a full list of
the cmintries with seine of which there has been regular
communication - that are now included in the delivery by
way of Hamburg and Bremen :
