BOLTON PETTY SESSIONS.

THE TILDESLEY WORKMEN.

Charge under the Combination Act, sth Geo. IV. r. (6,

and for the Riot and Assault at Common Law.

SATURDAY, OCT. 7.—The presiding Magistrates, this
day, were Colonel Fletcher, Major Watkins, and Joseph
Ridgway, Esq.
At a little after twelve o'clock, Jame: Green, Henry
Pendleltury, Jeffrey Crank, and Richard Brindle, all of
Tildesley, in this county, cotton spinners, were put to the
bar, charged upon two informations, ox the oaths of Thos.
Fulshaw and Thos. Mulleneux, with having, on the 16th
day of September last, prevented informants from accept-
ing employment at the Cotton-spinning Mill belonging to
Mr. Jones, of Tildesley, which, under the above Act of his
present ajesty, subjects the prisoners to two months'
imprisonment.
About a month ago, Mr. Jones gave notice to his work-
men that he should, at the end of a fortnight from the date
of the same, make a certain deduction in their rate of
wages; which the men not agreeing to accept, unanimous-
ly turned out, and left Mr. Jones's employment. At the
time the reduced list of wages was proposed, a good spin-
ner, it seems, could clear, after all deductions, as much as
455. per week, and in many instances, where the family
of the spinner were employed, 60s. ; and at the reduced
list, a spinner would get with his family 40s. The old
spinners having turned out, Mr. Jones found it necessary
to supply their places with new hands, when many poor
weavers readily sought employment, where they could earn
more than double what they could in their own trade.
Amongst this class of weavers were Mulleneux and Fill-
shaw. To these men, it seems, the old spinners offered
every species of annoyance, whom they designated by the
appellation of " knob sticks," and collected round Jones's
mill for the purpose of preventing the new bands having
admission there. _ .

Evidence haVing been produced'and examined, the pri-
soners were bound over to appear at the General Quarter
Sessions at Kirkdale, to answer any bill that might be
preferred against them for the riot and assault, themselves
in 301. each, and two sureties in and the witnesses
were bound over to appear and prosecute.—ln the course
of the day the prisoners found bail.

STATE OF TRADE.---We mentioned, on Tuesday
last, that the cotton factories in the neighbourhood of
Dublin were in full work : we are now enabled to con-
firm that statement to the fullest extent.—"Dub/in

ST. PATRICK ASSURANCE COMPANY.--...Dublin,
October 6.---,, Sergeant Blackburn and Counsellor

by the Act of Parliament passed on the 25th of June,
1824, for regulating this Company, according to the
4th, Bth, and .9th clauses, " execution upon any judg-
ment may be issued against any. member of the Com-
pany ; and where execution is ineffectual, another may
be issued against any member, and the liability of
members is not restricted,"

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

BOW—STREET--(Tins DAN.)

Henry Thomas, a stable-boy, and a hackney-coaehman whose
name did not transpire, were brought up on a charge of assaulting
Wm. Cross, at eleven o'clock last night, in the Strand.
It appeared that there was a great crowd collected round two
persons who were sham-fighting, at the Queen's Read public
house, at that hour, and the complainant, who was pestling by,
endeavoured to separate the combatants, when he was knocked down
by Thomas, who appeared to have created this row the more effec-
tually to accomplish his purpose. After the watchman had come
up, Thomas, together with his gang, rushed into the Queen's Head,
and the landlord, Mr. Fletcher, shut the door, and would not
admit the complainant, who wished to recognise such as had as-
sisted in abusing him. The prisoner Thomas, and some others,
were ordered to find bail for the assault, and the landlord having
been sent for, was severely reprimanded by Sir Richard Birnie for
his conduct.

A young girl about 17 years of age was brought up on a war-
rant, from a brothel in Duke-street, at the complaint of her mother,
who stated, that she had left home about five weeks ago, without
any apparent cause; her family were in the greatest afflic-
tion about her, not knowing where she had betaken her-
self to, until within these few days, when they discovered
to their mortification, that she hadi deserted the path of virtue,
and now refused to return home. The girl herself entered the
office laughing, and appeared to be abandoned to all *enie of shame.
To a question from Mr. Mixsitur.t., she acknowledged that she
was a prostitute, whereupon her mother, sister, and a female re-
lative, who were present, and appeared to be highly respectable,
burst forth into tears. The scene was very afflicting; hardened
as the girl seemed to be, she could no longer support her levity
nor contain her tears ; yet she still persisted in %refusing to go
'home, assigning as the genie that she was unworthy of associat-
ing ever again with her family. She preferred going to the tread-
mill, as she deserved to be punished for her conduct.
Mr. Muzsittru. ordered her to be sent there for a month, and
she was accordingly taken to the lock-up house ; but she repented
in a few minutes, and being brought back, she consented to go
,110113, with her afflicted friends.
