COMBINATION LAWS.

_

The minute 3 of evidence on the Cot is tort

They detail a variety of cases in which v'olence and
attempts at assassination have resulted from the com-
binations of workmen; but it does riot appear that
these evils. except in- Dublin, have beepoirreAter since
than before the Act of the last Session. The evidence
of Mr. A. CAMPISSLL, 'Sheriff-substitute .of Benfrittv-
shire, gives In instance of the eleitoat brestinguttp of
a combination of workmen sby 1 counter.eombination
-of the masters. A number of Acts of violence had been
committed by the working spinners in the copse cf
the year 1828,—attempts to assassinate the dissentirra'
workmen, and to lire mills, had been made, ari
t'neatening letters sent to the masters; and there war
no doubt that these crimes had been committed
persons hired by an association, towards which algrv,,t
the whole of the working spinners contr6rated. Ia
January, 1824, the master spinners concerted measures,
and discharged all their workmen, at the same time e
giving notice that the mills would remain idle till the
existing conspiracy WAS entirely-subverted, and. that
" so soon and so often as any symptom of the renewal
of such a system of conspiracy and contribution should
be -discovered, the whole mills of the country would in-
stantly be again thrown idle and work suspended, CI
the complete suppression of such renewed conspiracy,
and the detection of its principal instigators." Mr.
CAMPBELL describes the effect in the fallowing terms
—" After a while the workmen resumed their work,
the ringleaders were dismissed, and since-that we have
been quiet."

In the Court of Exchequer, yesterday, an informa-
tion was filed by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, against
David Cornelius, under the 5,h Geo. IV. c. 54. s. 8, to
recover penalties for the following offence ;—The de-
fendant, or any other person, was allowed by the Act
'o brew beer in small quantities, and to retail it; but
it was not to be drank on his premises. The defendant,
who resided in Glamorganshire, supplied his customers
with the ale in question, and instead of their drinking
it on his premises he sent . them over to his brother's
house, immediately oppo ite, to the great detriment of
the publicans in the neighbourhood. Oa the part of
the defendant, the occupier of the house was called,
and he proved that his brother had no authority nor
right to allow any of his customers to drink their beer
there.—The LORD CHIEF BARON left the case in the
hands of the Jury,who re:urned a verdict f r the Crowd.
THE LATE FlRS.—Yesterday a Meeting was held at
the Middlesex Hosp;tal, for the purpo,e of raising a
