SERIOUS AFFRAY AT BARNSLEY.—On
Monday morning laSt, a fight took place at Ferry Moor,
about five miles from Barnsley, between JOSEPH
Premiss:, of Dodworth, and EDWARD MOORE, an
Irish weaver, living in Barnsley, in which the Irishman
was beaten. This, together with the general ill blood that
has for some time existed between the English and Irish
weavers, arising front the notion that the great influx o's'
the latter into the town has materially contributed to the
lowering of wages, led to consequences very serious. A
number of workmen belonging to the town and neighbour-
hood being assembled in the street, a large party of Irish-
men, armed with sticks and bludgeons, sallied out of the
Chear,iside Tavern public house, and began an almost indit-
criminate attack upon all who came in their way. Several
were knocked down in the fray and severely wounded, on
both sides. The greatest consternation prevailed in that
part of the town, so that the shops were generally shut
up, and, before tranquillity could be restored, the riot act
was obliged to be read. Amongst the rest, an Irishman
of the name of MAC-ELDowri rushed from the public-
house, furiously brandishing, in both hands, a stick tour
or five fret long and four incites thick. With this he
struck a weaver, of the name of Jams Moss, of Dud-
worth, a violent blow ou the right side Of the bead, and
felled him senseless to the ground. The next morning,
'about half-past five o'clock, he was discovered laid on his
belly in the field, near the place where he had been met
werethe
niglithalt'fi by some persons going to bathe, and in a
state of insensibility. He was wet with the dew, his eye-
lidshis eyes fixed, and Isis lips quite: livid,
so that, at the first,
the persons who found him thought
him dead. By friction, he was brought about a little, but
not SO as to he able to speak, nor did be breathe without
much difficulty. He was taken to the Barnsley work-
house, where he was attended by Mr. CnooisEs, a sur-
geon, who examined his wounds, and used every practi-
cable means for his relief, hut without success, for he died
betwixt five and six o'clock the same evening. Chi Wed-
nesday an inquest was taken on the body, when a verdict "
Manslaughter" was p
of
sequence of which MAC-ELDOWN was taken into custody,
.and fully committed for trial.
