SESSIONS cougT,:i4C4. "4,

This day, six men who had been employed as
tnashmen, in the distillery of St. David Perrier and
Co. in this city, were brought up for trial 'before
the Deputy Recorder, on a charge of corubtuarion.
The faiqs, as stated by Mr. Edmondstone, one of
the, breWers who had charge of the mlsli:nen were,
that the six traversers were part of the number o;
rnashmen (about 36) who were employed under
him at the distillery ; that on Friday night, the,-29th
of November, they, with the others, went home as
usual from work, leaving a quantity •of corn. or malt
in process for brewing, and on Saturday morning
the 30th, not finding them 'come. to work at the
usual time, but haying been infOrMed that the en-
tire body of workmen were in a public house near
the distillery? he went to call them ; he tound them
assembled ion a room, and requested them tO go to
their work. Some of them sdoke,,, (he was certain
with the concurrence the.others).-an'ddenVin led
14s. a -week, and four g41:15C3 o: whiSkey tho day,
instead of t is. I•,:er week, and two glasses of whis-
key; .which- they- were. acetestomed to receive. He
he could .promise them no'such thing, but was
certain that. Sir David would accede to any reason-,
;Ole :demand, when prciperly made. After some
intreating on his part, tizzy; Went towards the diS-
tillery, but s, veral times on the way Were consulting
together, .and sending rrsotis to endear our to ex-
tort a prptnise of higher wages. from liim. When
they -cline to the loft he desired them to resume
their work, but to eo purpose. He then called.
ninon sbme of them individually, and Sortie persons
from the crowd answered, that they dated not Wfiik•
until the higher price WaS promised ; he. could not
promise it, and they went oil in a body.
Upon his cm-is examination by JUSTIN/ M`C.4ll.
Attoroey for,the TraverserS, he admittr ql that
the mashruen were labourers, • they were employed
by the week, and were paid. on Friday evening,
when their week ended ; that their work was very
laborious, and continued for fourteen or seventeen
'hours out of the twenty-four ; •that other labourers
in the distillery who worked only twelve hours, had
13s in the week, and' eleven glasses of whiskey in
the day. At this the Court seemed very much `sue-.
prized, and the; Recorder remarked that they pro-
bably sold some of it.-;--No, no, nlease, your War-
ship, they drink it all, and would drink more if
they-got ! eleven glasses in the day
The witness turned to one of the Traversers, and
asked if the allowance was not eleven glasses ?
.Yes, and not enough.--The witness also ath
nutted that manyof the mashmen went off fr,,m
time to time without giving notice. but :remarked
tnat it was *always considered unfair', and that he
had frequentiv told them that ,jhey may go where
. they pleastd him notice, and that if they
could not provide better for thernsetves they should
bs,,received again by him.

The de once set up kva, that they were only la-
bonier!, imd working by the week, and :having fi-.
ntshed their week's work, • they supposed they
might gn off if they though proper.
,Thy: itEoonocit then asked the witness if there
was any art ' or ingenuity required for. the profes-
sion of a roashman, more than for that of a com-
mon' labourer ?--To which he answered, in the
affirmato,,e:

The RECORDER then charged the Jury, observing
the combination.was nut only a crime against many
statutes, but also against the eptiMion laws; and, that
not only journeyinen trafesmen, but also =stets
who coin bitted and destroyed the (air competition in
the market, 'were pimishable with regard to the case
before triem, , The mashmen, thetas labourers,
were, 'indeed, on account of the ingenuity required
for their department to be considered as being under
the description of tradesmen, anditherefore under
the ad. Their labour was their property, and they
were entitled to the utmost which it could produce,,
provided they did not take unlawful means ofr4isiug
the irrprice.—A 9utiier of .persons combined ne-
ther destroyed cotripetitiori, and therefore conibina-
(ion was illegal, He then read the titks 01 the ad,

petition. It they believed that the traVerser& had

which the Recorder endeavoured to.explaip the:law
