tOrEINATION . OP COAL-lIEAVERS.
BOW-STREET.—A combination and strike for ad-
vance of wages took place among the coal-heavers,
belonging to both shores of the Thames, last Mon.
day: Saturday four of Mr. Goff's men, Coal-
merchant, of Scotland-yard, were brought by Ad-
kins before Mr. READ and Mr. GRAHANI charged
With the above offence. .
Mr. Goff was called to make out the charge ;—but
he being one of the persons called Quakers, refused
to swear ; and his affirmation in this charge could
not be received ; on his being told what he had to
say could not be received, he, very good-huthouredly
replied, he could go away then.
Mr. Brooke, Mr. Goff's foreman, however, pretty
well proved the case ; he stated, that on Monday
morning neither the prisoners, nor any of Mr. Goff's
Men came to work ; Mr. Goff ordered them to be
sent for ; when they came they refused to go to work,
unless they were to receive the new prices, or 2d.
more for each chaldron, to a gang of men, being the
term used for each set of men ; upon which Mr.
Goff oberved, that they might then go about their
business.
Although Mr. Goff's evidence could not he receiv-
ed upon his affirmation, yet the Magistrates thought
themselves justified in asking him whether he said so
to the men or not ? .
Mr. Goff acknowledged that he made use of words
to that effect.
The Magistrates, in consequence, entertained some
doubts, whether they did not amount to a discharge
or ordering them away from their work ; the men,
however, agreed to return to their work for the old-
prices. The decision on the warrant was therefore
postponed.
Gusto ALL.—Saturday several of the creditors hf
Mrs. Pugh, who, with her father-in-law, were, some
time back, committed for child-dropping and expos- I
ing, complained to the Sitting Magistate, Alderman I
S: norm-, of the undue interference of one of the clerks
of that office, in drawing up and sending them a pe- I
tition, on the behalf of Mrs. Pugh, which went to pre-
judge her case before trial.
The clerk admitted, he had drawn up the petition,
in the line of his profession, as a solicitor. He stated.
that he had known Mrs. Pugh for a number of years,
and always understood she bore an excellent charac:
ter, until the unfortunate business she was committed
for ; and when that took place, her creditors had
seized on her property, and used other harsh means ;
to prevent which, he drew up the petition, and, as a
professional man, he was justifiable. •
The worthy Magistrate observed, it was impossible
for him to give any opinion, whether the petition went
to prejudge her case or not, without. seeing it. If the
' creditors would, on a future day, lay it before- him,
and he found it did prejudge, he would lay it before
the proper tribtmal, as it did not come immediately
under his jurisdiction.
UNioN HALL.—Collingbourn. and Goff having re-
ceived information late on Friday eight, that a num-
' ber of Irishmen were employed at a house in Rose-
' court, Golden-lane, in colouring. base gold and silver,
they went immediately to the house, but the gang
having received intelligence from an associate, the
greater number had made their escape. The officers,
however, succeeded in securing Ambrose Crofter and.
his wife, whom they conveyed to the office. On search•
ing them, a number of counterfeit shillings and six.
peaces in an unfinished state, together with a quan,
thy of cream of tartar, and other things, necessary to
give them the appearance of silver, were found upon
them, and they were remanded till Tuesday next,
when Mr. Powell, lospeeter to the Mint, will Attend. 1
Thomis Rohe, a porter to Messrs. Irish and Old,
chemists, in Blackman-street, was charged on sus-
picion
of having stolen 201. worth of opium, and was '
remanded.
