COLLIERS' STRIKE-AYRSHIRE.

TRIAL OF THE RIOTERS.
(From the Ayr Advertiser of Thursday.)
This morning considerable excitement was observed
amongst the large body of turn-out colliers, assembled
in front of the County Buildings, awaiting the trial of
the parties implicated in the late disturbances at Whit-
lette, which the Yeomanry was called up last week
to suppress. The hour appointed by Mr. Sheriff Sub-
stitute Eaton was ten o'clock, previous to which time
the gallery and area of the Court-house were very
much crowded, chiefly by the fellow-workmen of the
panels, who, as the indictments were being read, and
the evidence adduced, showed by assent or slight
murmur the deep interest they took in the proceed-
ings. They were, however, in no respect disorderly.
The first case called was that implicating Alexander
Tinsey, Wm. Jackson, and Elizabeth M'Clung, or
Frew, who had been in gaol 12 days, charged under the
Act of Geo. IV., c. 129, secs. 3d, 7th, and 11th, with
having, on the night of the 28th October last, en-
tered the house of James Caddis, Garden-street Con-
tent, banksman in Mr. Gordon's employment, and
threatened him at the peril of his life to continue to
work during the strike, or to allow his sons to do so,
otherwise thatt their lives would not be safe.
Tinsey and M'Clung, or Frew, pleaded not guilty,
and Jackson maintained that he was not even on the
spot. On the examination of the first witness his
alibi was clearly- proven, he having been mistaken for
a man named -Nelson or Melsom, and he was dis-
missed. Tinsey is a lad of about 18 years of age,
and APClung, a married woman with a child in her
arms. Mr. Alexander M'Cubbin, writer, appeared
for the other panel.
After a lengthened trial Tinsey was sentenced to
three months'
imprisonment. M'Clung was liberated.
There were other three trials of the same kind.—
Edward Neill and Robert Frew were sentenced to 30
days' imprisonment ; and of the remaining panels four
were acquitted from want of evidence, and six from
an error in the indictment.

BULL BAITING.
On Saturday last, William Mottram, landlord of the
John Chinney, saddler, Hadleigh ; Isaac
Black Lion, Lavenham; Noah Must, horsedealer,
Sudbury ;
Ransom, gardner, Sudbury; James Carter, Martin
Stearn, and Williara Gurling, butchers, Lavenham ;
Abraham Hughes, Isaac Scarfe, Frederick Stock,
William Snell, and William Duce all of Lavenham,
appeared before the Reverend Mr. Johnson, to
answer the complaint of Henry Thomas,
Secretary of the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, which charged them
with having on the sth of November inst.,
at the parish of Lavenham, in the county of Suffolk,
kept and used a certain ground called Washmere-
green, for the purpose of bull-baiting, and with hav-
ing aided and assisted at the baiting of a certain bull
then and there, being contrary to the provisions of
the statute in that case made and provided (Act the sth
and Gth of William IV., chap. 59, sec. 3).
Mr. Walsh, a solicitor, attended for the defendants
Mottrain and Must.

Mr. Thomas conducted the case for the prosecution,
and called

John Smith, who stated that, in consequence of
instructions from Mr. Thomas, he went to Washmere-
green about twelve o'clock on the sth of November;
a great many persons were assembled, and between
three and four o'clock a bull was brought to the green
from the direction of Lavenham village. It was driven
by Carter, Hughes, Scarfe, Stock, and others. When
it got near to the green several of the persons present
fixed a rope round his horns, and led it to a stake
fixed in the green. The rope was taken from the
horns and fastened to a collar which was on the bull's
neck. The animal was then tied to the stake and
driven the length of the rope, when by noise and other
means they irritated it and made it "wild." Carter
was particularly active in making the preliminary ar-
rangements, and in setting the dogs on the bull : he
also collected money from the bystanders. Stearn had
a dog which he set on the bull, which it seized several
times and bit severely. This dog was tossed and much
injured. Gurling, Chinney, and Ransom had dogs,which
they set on the bull. Mottram was present on horseback;
and when the bull was staked, and before it was taken
away, the parties engaged went and spoke to him, and
immediately afterwards they tied and untied the bull.
The dogs set on the animal by Stearn belonged to
Mottram, who appeared to witness to direct the pro-
ceedings. All the other defendants were particularly
active in the cruel sport. The bull was baited about
an hour,
and was torn about the nose and face, and
bled a
great deal. Several of the dogs were much
injured. About 200 persons were assembled, and
(luring the baiting the greatest uproar prevailed, and
language of the most filthy and disgusting description
was indulged in.
John Ditton corroborated Smith's evidence, and
the defendants having severally been heard in their
defence,
The Magistrates feelingly addressed them, pointing
out the misery .which must inevitably result from an
indulgence in
such cruel and disgraceful practices.
It had been clearly proved by the evidence of re-
spectable individuals that they have each aided and
assisted in baiting the bull, and that they had conse-
quently rendered themselves liable to the penalties im-
posed by the Act. Under the circumstances he should
make a distinction between them. Mottram, Must,
Ransom, Chinn ey, Carter,ests orand
be Stearnimp imprisoned
dt
aenaedhkpeapyt
to hard labour in the
a fine of 54 and the
costs,
of Correction for two
months ; Gurling,, 205. and costs ; arid Hughes, Snell,
Stock, Scarfe, and Duce, 10s. and costs; or be impri-
soned and kept to hard labour for 14 days.
Mottram, Must, Stearn, Gurling, and Duce paid
the penalties and were discharged; the other defen-
dants were committed.
Mr. Thomas begged to disclaim all participation in
the penalties, and at his request the prosecutor's
moiety of those paid was presented to the Lavenharn
National School, in aid of its funds.
The penalties and costs amounted to 431.

Wlsnreir, Nov. 11.—Two persons in this town,
named William Newborough and his wife, have died
through taking poison, administered, it is believed, in
a pudding baked under some pork. - They had hardly
ceased eating of the pudding at dinner, when violent
sickness began. They both died during the night.
Two children who partook of the pudding were also
very ill, but have recovered. The examination of the
bodies proves the presence of a mineral poison. The
inquest has been adjourned.—Norwich Mercury.
