LAW AND POLICE.

CONVICTION UNDER THE FACTORT ACT.—At the Car.
rickfergus Sessions a prosecution has taken place under
the Factory Act which possessed a large amount of public
interest. Messrs. James Taylor and Sons, of the Barn
Mills, Carrickfergus, were summoned by Mr. William
Dawkins Cramp, sub-inspector of factories, for illegally
employing eleven females in the reeling-room after two
o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, August 22.
Mr. Cramp said it was twenty minutes past two when
he reached the mill, and all except the reelers had left
it. He went up into the reeling•room at twenty-two
minutes past two, and found the reels all going, and from
forty to fifty women hard at work. The overlooker was
in the room. He met with very great opposition from all
the workers. They refused their names and addresses,
some escaped by main force, others by stratagem, some hid
behind the reels, and others in the closets. After some
conversation, Mr. Cramp consented to withdraw five of
the summonses on payment of costs, and the defendants
were convicted in six cases—penalties £6, and £1 Ds. 6d.
costs.
