stood, had a g'eat dislike, a rooted aversion, both to
the law and the workers of the law, yet-he furnished a
most lamentable instance of the difference between.
theory and practice. Sa gccat was the plaintiff's
aversion to law, that he- had by heart two lines in
verse, which be uniformly repeated to his flituds,
whenever he beard.: lawsuit mentioned. They were
as follow:
" All lawsuits shun, with as muekstvdtovs earn
As eassmould dem, whets humor arey"—( A laugh)
And yet itturnd out, that in.practice hewas.as ready
to go to law as his neighbours,, notwithstanding this

progenitors, and which ho was eternally trurnpetting in

The business of weaving by steam, it,caeriedan to a.l
great event in .the neighbourhood of Griksgesw. We;
have made some inquiries into thiS stibleet, anJ ire ena-
bled to lay the following statement before out Reader*
There are about fifty of these factories in. Glasgow
and its neighbourhood. Some of these are only
pas-
dally going, or, at least, have' additions built to them,
which ate not jet working. Before the beginning of
this year, there were at least Viirty in full operation.
The average number of looms in. each amoants to.
about 185. Some of them contain between 400 and;
500, while others have not more than Arty or sixty.—
The average will be found to be as we have stated it,
r.,s. the factories in full operation at the
beginning of this year, 5,3J0 117.1 e other twenty,
which w. have. mentioned as being partially
working at that time, say one-half filled. g.ve.1,859
additional looms, or 7,400. in all. The grea er part of
these looms are employed in the manulactute of eleven
dogs. cambrits or tweels, though s.dsme of tt.em, Mr.
Charles Todd's for instance, work, as fine as fourteen
dzgs. Theaverage produce of one of these looms per
wedit is five pieces of 24i yards of eleven deg, and six-
tren yards o(. fourteen deg. An. eleven deg. is welled
twelve, and a fourteen deg. sixteen shots on. the.glass.
Each of these.looms will work as much as three hand-
weavers on. an average, and thus, in the aboye.neigh-
ibourhooil, as much work is dme-bymachinery.as would
require 21,(100 atavers.to perform in. the usual way.
'Every, two of viese looms, require the attention of one
woman or girl, and every twenty, one man employed
;at a dress ng. machine.. There. are besid4s, teeters,
!drawers, twisters, Sts. &c. which will make another
man or boy to the twenty Idioms. The quantity of
scloth produced by this machinery is immense. At. the.
rate of five pieces, a-week. for each loom, the annual
produce• amount* to, 1,9614,0011 pieces, Which,
to. be eleven der gives 99:100:000. yards of

Estintexuaannix Br SERVANTL—Joseph Patterson, a grown lad,
about sixteen years old, in the employ of Mr. Gould, a baker in Red
Cress-street, was charged yesterday before the Sitting Magistrate,
Mr. Alderman Sooner, with having embeasied. various sums of
money, received by Miele in the course of his employment, upon the
account of his master. Among other persons whose payments he
had appropriated to his own use. was a Miss Robinson, in the City
Road, who according to Mr. Gould's books, stood indebted to hint
in a sum, of above 31. while in fact, she owed nothing, the prisoner
having regularly received the- money. The only case which was
now proceeded upon was for receiving from the servant of this Lady
35.1 rd. the amount of the last week's bread.
Mary -Ann Maher, the servant, deposed that they never had any
bills for. bread; that they paid every week.; and that this latter sum
of 3s. I Id. she herself paid to the primmer.
Mr. Itaaina, for the prisoner, attempted .to spew that he was
driven to it by distress; ten shillings per week' having been stopped
out of his wages (Us) to make good a ten- pound note, which he
had lost in May last; but it was • stated that his depredation)
would have enabled him to pay . the ten pounds four times over, '1
Mr. Gould having already discovered embezzlements to the
amount of 401.—The prisoner was committed for trial.
