There profecutions were by information before the
Magitirates, under an Aft paired a few years ago, to
prevent combinations of workmen. The defendants
in both were Journeymen Shoemakers, and the Pro-
fecutor in the firft Mr. Henry Law, boot and (hoe.
maker, Butcher-Greet, Portfea ; and in the other Mr.
William Bacchus, boot and filmmaker, Camden-
alley. The charte againft Welton and Jones was
for wilfully and malicioufly perfnading, and attempt-
ing to prevail on one James Bryant to quit the em-
ploy of Mr. Law, and for endeavouring to induce
him to attend illegal meetings of the Journeymen.
Mr. Gassiss opened the cafe on the part of the
.hofecution. The firfk witnefs called was James
Bryant, who (wore, that on the 26th of December
laa, being then in the employ of Mr. Law, as a Boot-
clofer, the defendant Welton, whom he never knew
before, forced himfelf into his company, in Botcher-
beet, and began by enquirthg, whether lie did not
work for Law ? Upon Bryant's telling him he did,
Welton afked him if he knew he was doing wrong ?
telling him that Mr. Bacchus's men had (truck, and
that Mr. Law got Mr, Bacchus's work done. Welton
alto anted him if he had joined any of the focieties ?
and on Bryant flying he had not, he mentioned the
names of feveral public-honfes where journeymen
met ; and told him, if he would leave Mr. Law they
would get him a feat of work elfcwhere, or defray
his expellees home. He fwnre alto, that Welton told
him he amid belong to the meetings, and that all
the men who worked for Mr. Law were accounted
Stab:. While in this converfation, Wefton was joined
by the defendant Jones, who (imported him in his
endeavours to get Bryant from his employ.
Nathaniel Lamber More to attending meetings of
the j-urn-ymen, .the objet of which was to prevent
Bacchus's getting men to work for him ; and that
they offered to make up ass. a week to him to leave
Mr. Bacchus's employ ; and threatened to do him
all the injury in their power, if he refuted ; and that
Welton belonged to and attended the meetings; and
that one of the rules of the fociety of Journeymen
was, that no man lhould take a mailer's apprentice to
teach, and if he did he was to be (truck againft.
Mr. Bacchus being cancel, proved his men ftriking
againft him in November halt to the number of 9, and
that at a meeting which he attended at the instants
of Hart, one of the defendants, in order to know the
grievance complained of, he was told by his men
that the region of their (hiking was becaide he em
played one Hurlock, who had got his apprentice to
manna, and they would not work for him until he
turned Hurlock off, or he conformed to their rules ;
which part of the cafe was corroborated by another
witoefs, Mr. Mew, who accompanied Mr. Bacchus to
the meeting.
Mr. Miasiwo was Counfel for the defendants, and
addreffed the Court on their behalf ; but the charge
being fully fubltantiated, the Court were proceeding
to pronounce fentence on the Defendants t it being,
however, intimated that the Profecutors would be
fatisfied without the punifliment of the men, pro
vided they gave up their meetings; and the Defend
ants in the other intlame having pleaded guilty to a
charge exhibited againit them, whi:h was for an un
lawful combination to prevent Mr. Bacchus from
employing Hurlock, the Recorder, after a very ex-
cellent admonition to the Defendants, in which he
pointed out to them, in very forcible terms, the ille-
gality, the folly. and mifchievous confequences of
their conclua, adverting to the evils which it would
neeeffarily bring even upon themfelves, and the pm
nifliment which would be inflitted on them, if they
continued their proceedings, which the Magiftrates
were determined to ufe every means to put a stop to,
by a molt vigilant attention to fupprefs every place
of meeting, concluded with refpiting judgment tilt
