THE SPITALFIELDS WEAVERS.
On Saturday night at eight o'clock a numerous meet-
ing of the Spitalfields weavers was held at the Knave of
Clubs, Club-row, Bethnal-green, to receive the answer of
the Poor-law Commissioners in reference to a commu-
nication to them conformable to a resolution of the trade
passed at a meeting held on the Ist of January, request-
ing that they would take measures to exempt the Spital-
fields weavers from the employment of stonebreaking at
the workhouSe.
Mr. BODDINGTON being appointed Chairman, said, that
the first question the meeting had to consider was, what
remuneration should be given to the Committee of nil;
employed silk-weavers who had been exerting themselves
in their behalf.
Mr. llacamaist observed that the Committee had been
engaged since the 19th of November, in order to obtain
relief for the destitute weavers in that district, and dur-
ing that period they had received no reward for their
services. The weavers had not the means to make them
any compensation, and as it was but just that they should
have some, he would move the following resolution :
" That this meeting appreciate the services of their
Committee, and regret the inability of the trade to liqui-
date their bills, and they most respectfully embrace this
opportunity of recommending to the Central Relief Com-
mittee the propriety of appropriating a portion of the
funds to recompense them for their great exertions in the
cause of the distressed operatives of the district."
Mr. PIPKIN seconded the resolution, and it was passed
unanimously.
Another resolution was also agreed to, that a deputa-
tion of three weavers be appointed to wait on Mr. Ilan-
bury, to request him to use his influence to carry the
above resolution into effect.
Mr. Fox said that, a few weeks ago, a discussion took
place at a meeting of the trade:upon the subject of the
employment of the Spitalfields weavers at the stone-yard
of the workhouse, when it was resolved that a memorial
should be sent to the Poor Law Commissioners, with a
request that an exemption should be allowed to the silk-
weavers of that district.
Copy of the answer from the Poor-law Commissioners :
"Poor-law CommisSion-office, Somerset-house, Jan.l4.
" Sir—l am directed by the Poor-law Commissioners
to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th
instant, forwarding to them a copy of a resolution passed
at a meeting of the •perative broad silk weavers of
Bethnal-green, Spitalfields, and the vicinity, respecting
the employment of paupers at the workhouse in the dis-
trict at stone-breaking, and I am to state that the Com-
missioners will inquire as to the alleged injurious effect
of this mode of providing labour for paupers.
" I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
," C. CHADWICK, Secretary.
"Mr. T. Claisse, 3, South-street, Hart-lane, Bethnal-
green-road."

ings
of the district, and the distribution of the money
