Pxasrote, Ocr. 16. Three men, who have
been engaged in the fabrication of pikes, have this
week been apprehended and lodged in the House
of Correction in this tow!). Their names are
John Miller, of the township of Mellor, near
Blackburn ; James Morris, of Haslingden-grain;
and John Knowles,' of Bilwton-stall, near Has.
liugden. John Miller, a youth, 20 years of age,
was taken in his grandfather's smithy, in the met of
workingoneof these instruments on the anvil,in the
evening of Tuesday last, and brought before the
Rev. T. D. Whitwker, LL.D. of Blackburn. Dur.
ing the examination a crowd assembled in the
streets, and some apprehension was entertained
of an attempt to rescue the prisoner ; but
party of the 7th Dragoon Guards being called
out, no serious mishief occurred. After a short
hearing, the prisoner Was committed for a fur.
ther examination : at present he, in common wits
the other two, stands charged on oath "with hav-
ing fabricated certain weapons called pikes, or
pike-heads, with intent that the same pikes or
pike-heads should be used for the purpose of
effecting, by force and violence, a change in the
'awe and Constitution of the United King.
dow." The other
\prisoners .were, we under-.
stand, apprehended in con*egoence of de.
clarations made by Julia Miller, or• his grand.
father, Ralph the latter of whom has
eluded the 'vigilance of the officers. Miller
Was brought to the House of Copection here
on the night of Tuesday, under au escort of the
ith Dragoon Guards, and Morris and Knowles
were conveyed under a similar escort to the same
place in the afternoon of Wednesday. We are
informed that their further examination will be
deferred until the Magistrates receive an answer
to a communication which has been addressed' to
his Majesty's Ministers. Miller is 'evidently a
youth of weak intellect.; Morris hat much of the
character of ,a rough country blacksmith ; but
Knowles seems to possets•a considerable share of
intelligence, and to-be a -man of keen sarcastic
obsarration.—(Preston Chronicle.) •
