POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.)

SOUTH wAr,K.

STRIKE AMONG 'THE FE RC UTT ERS.—INTIMID ATION
AND ASSAULT. —Mary Sweeny, a young woman, in tl7e
etnphy of Messrs. Donald de Clermont and C)., furrier',
furcutters, and hatters of Stlple-stret.t, Ber-
rnot}d,ey, and Paris, was brotwht before Mr. C.)mbe,
charged with a'sauiting Aoii Wells, a girl in the same
factory.

The complainant, a well-behaved girl, said that the
females employed struck for more wages on the previous
day and intimidated others to join them. Witness being
an apprentice went to her work as usual, and as she was
entering the factory the prisoner CAMe up to her and
told her if she did not join the strike she would serve
her out. She replied that she could not comply with
the reque4 as she was perfectly satisfied, and as she was
leaving her she struck her a violent blew on the eye.
A policeman was coming pa-,t at the time and he took
her into custody. Mr. Combe asked how many girls
were employed at the factory ?
Mr. Young, the manager, replied that, there were
120, and goneral'y they were well behaved. They
earned from 9e. to 121. a-week regularly, and took it
into their heads to demand more. The firm refused
to comply with their unreasonable request, when
nearly all of them struck for wages. The complainant
was an apprentice, and that was the reason they picked
her out for vengeance.

Mr, Combo asked whether they had ever struck
before ?
Mr. Young replied in the affirmative, but tbat was
four years ago.
The prisoner stated she only asked the complainant
to go with them, and they had some words, and a fight
ensued. That wa.,, however, denied.
Mr. Combe said it was clear she had committed the
assault, and as a caution to her he should fine her 20s.
or 14 days. Such conduct conk: not be allowed, and
if it was repeated by any of thetthers, he should puni, h
them with great severity
