FURTHER DESTRUCTION of PROPERTY
AT SPITALFIELDS—(I HIS DAY.)

Notwithstanding all the exertions and efforts on the part
of the police of this district, assisted by 49 of the patrole,
to check the nefarious system prevailing- in Spitalfields, the
destruction of property is still going on, and increasing to
the most alarming extent. In the course of last night and
this morning, the work in no less than 42 looms, belonging
to those manufacturers who refused to raise the wages,
were cut out, and the silk mutilated in such a manner as
to render it perfectly useless.
At twelve o'clock this day, not one of the offenders, as
we could learn, were taken into custody, a circumstance
which indicates that those weavers to whose care the pro-
perty was intrusted connived at, if they did not acquiesce
in its destruction. They attended before the Magistrates
this morning at Worship-street, and their statements in
explanation were precisely similar to those they bad given
on the day before, viz. that the threats and intimidation of
five or six persons induced them to open their doors, who,
on their admission, commenced the work of devastation.
It is supposed that were it not for the expectation of
the journeymen that their masters would, at a Meeting to
be holden this day, come forwartl with some proposition
to increase their wages, the destruction of property would
have been much snore extensive. If these hopes are not
realised the consequences will, it is likely, be disastrous,
but it is to bo hoped that, by the adoption of some healing
measure, tranquillity will be restored.
The weavers who had collected in groups, this morning,
paraded the different streets in the neighbourhood of
Spital-square, followed by a crowd of women and boys, by
whom they were loudly cheered.
