OLD BAILEY, NOrEMBER 7.

SALFORD OCTOBER SESSIONS, 18L8.

Samuel Taylor was indicted for feloniously inter-
marrying with Harriet Festurgion, Mary his former
viife being then and still living.
The simple facts'of the case, as developed by the
evidence, were as follows :—The prisoner was mar-
ried to his first wife, Mary Hayler, at St. Martin's-
in-the-Fields, and she was :still living. On the 4th
day of January last, he married Harriet Festurgion,
at St. Ann's, Soho, representing himself to her to be
a widower. On the 10th of March following, hay-.
ing spentwhat money she had, and disposed of all her
furniture, he absconded, leaving her in the most la-
mentable state of distress, and far advanced in preg-
nancy. Her necessities at length compelled her to
seek refuge in a workhouse, where she finally was
delivered of a child.
The prisoner, in his defence, attempted to justify
his conduct, by stating that he considered himself a
widower, but he did not presume to call evidence in
confirmation of that asettion.—The Jury immedi-
ately found the prisoner Guilty.
J. Lecore and Catherine Bryant were indicted for
feloniously receiving six pounds weight of bristles,
the property of J. Mathews.
Mr. BOLLAND stated the case to the Jury, from
which it appeared that Mr. Mathews is a bristle mer-
chant, living in Thames-street, and a young man,.
named John Ward, who lived porter to Mr. Ma-
thews, stole the briAles in question, and took them
to the house of the prisoners in Brown's-lane, Spital-
fields. Ward was tried and convicted, and a mild
punishment inflicted on him, in order that he might
be rendered a competent witness against the }lrmo-
nsrs. The principal having been brought up from
Newgate, and placed in the witness's box, and the
certificate of his conviction having been read,
Mr. ALLEY, for the prisoners, asked him if he had
paid the fine of ls. the judgment of the Court ?
Witness said he had not.
Mr. ALLEY took an objection, upon the ground
that whatever the sentence of the Court might have'
been, it must be inflicted before the per:,on could be
rendered a competent witness.
The R rkonnza,—Then let him pay the shilling.
The witness paid the shilling into the hands of
Mr. Shelton.
The witness being now rendered competent, de-
tailed the nianner in which he obtained the goods
from his master, but said he was induced to steal
them at the request of the prisoner, Lecore.
Forrester, an officer, and Mr. Mathews, superin-
tendent, proved that they went to the house of the
prisoners, who denied that they had any bristles ;
but upon searching the house they found them, and
on the officer asking them of whom they had ob-
tained them ? Lecore said—" Alt ! that's the thing,
that you must find out."
A great number of persons, of apparent retpecta-
bilitv, gave the prisoners good characters.
The P.T.conorit summed up the evidence, and the
Jury, alter retiring for scam time, found the priso-
ners Guilty.

TIIE LATE TURN-OUTS.

Indictments have been preferred and found by the
Grand Jury against the Committee and ringleaders
both of the Journeymen cotton-spinners and weavers.
They have all traversed, and, with the exception of
one, have elected to be tried at the next Sessions. The
one who chose to be no'w tried is named Robinson.
M. J. WILLIAMS stated the indictment. It charged
that the defendant, and one Bury, with divers other
evil-disposed persons, combined in a riotous manner
to•deter certain journeymen cotton-spinners, willing
to work at the accustomed prices, from going to such
work ; and there were other counts, varying the state-
ment of the offence.
Mr. CROSS stated that this prosecution arose from
those disorderly and illegal proceedings which would,
no doubt, be fresh in the minds of the Jury, as
having lately placed in a most distressing and alarm-
ing state the whole of this great commercial district.
About the 16th of June last, a vast number of
wicked and evil-disposed persons, not content with
the Wages they were then earning, although, as it
had been already satisfactorily proved, they were
receiving 25, 30, nay, some of them even as high as
50 shillings per week, had entered into a horrid com-
bination against their masters and their fellow jour-
neymen. They continued in this state of insubor-
dination for many weeks, and afforded a practical
illustration of their assertion that their wages were
inadequate by living upon funds they had accumu-
lated to support themselves without work. Ile then
proceeded to explain the plan of operation adopted
by the persons he had described. In the first place
a general meeting, as it was termed, was called,
which consisted of two men from each mill, these
:hose twelve from their own body, v..1t0 were deno-
minated a Committee, and sat from day to day, and
from morning till night, deliberating upon the mea-
sures calculated to effect their wicked purposes, and
upon the orders which should be issued for the go-
vernment of the trade in general. It was they who
had directed those numerous and unlawful proces•
sions of thousands of men, women, and children,
which had for some time disturbed and agitated this
populous town. Amongst other steps was the insti-
tution of what they called picquets, who were com-
posed of a number of men appointed for the purpose
of regular attendance at the factories, at those yours
when the persons who felt disposed to perform their
duty to their masters, to themselves and to. their fa-
milies (and Mr. Cross was happy to say there were
many, very many, virtuous enough to do so) were
accustomed to go to their work, and by numbets
and menaces to intimidate the well-disposed, and',
prevent them from pursuing their employment. In
these picquets the present defendant had been ac-
tively concerned, and by chance had been detected
and brought to justice.—Mr. Cross could not con-
clnde without stating, that in the remarks which he
had thought it his duty to make, lie would not wish
to be understood as applying them to the cotton-
spinners in general. Got) forbid that he should do
any ;hint of the kind. The general body of that nu-
merous and highly respectable class of men had
shown every inclination to conduct themselves with
tla utmost propriety, and in the most praiseworthy
manner.

A TE!frT AT ROTtra:nv AND MV:IDER.-1 person
has becal some time in custody, on a charge of wimp-
ting to lob the house of Mr. Impey, n:ar Be; khamp-
stead, and murder his sister, an old lady. the only
person at home when the attack was made. It ap-
pears from the investigation which has taken place,
that a man entered the house on the 25th of October,
knocked her down, and dragged her by the legs
from the ground-Boor to the cellar, allowing her head
to knock against each step in the descent ; that in the
cellar he cruelly beat her, and believing her to be
dead, proceeded to plunder the house, but was alar-;
in,:d before he accomplished his purpose, and fled.
Bishop, one of the Bow-street Officers, who was em-
ployed to discover the robber, learned that a boy,
named Joseph Bunn, had seen a man make his escape
from the house about the time the atrocious attempt
was made. It required threats to induce the boy to
tell the name of this man, but he at last confessed
that the person he had seen was the son of a respect-
able butcher, at a short distance from 13erkharnp-
stead. Bishop immediately apprehended the person
referred to, and on taking him to Mrs. Impey, she
identified him, was confident that at the time he was
exercising his barbarity towards her, that he WIS a
man she knew, though he attempted to disguise him-
self with his hat, which was a very large one.—
Joseph Bunn moved his seeing the prisoner in Mr.
Impey's garden, coming from the house, at half-past
eleven u cloi.k on the mornirg when the daring at-
tack was made.—About the sarne time, time pri Aver
was met in a lane leading from Mr. Impey's house by
a man of' the name of John Cannon, who called to
him by Lame, but received no answer.; he was thou
walking very quickly. John Cannon called to him a
second time, when he answered him, but anparontly
in a very reluctant manner, and asked John Cannon
whether it was ten o'clock ? Cannon expressed him-
self surprised at the question, and told him it was
above half-past eleven; and observed, that the church
bells had finished ringing long, and the people were
all in dim-ch.—The prisoner, whose name is Fearrivn,
denied the charge, and attempted to prove that he
was at another place at the time Mrs. Impey stated
the attack to be made: but he failed in accounting
for three quarters of an hour. Ile has undergone re-
peated examinations before the Magistrates, which It is now ascertained that the fire which happened

The Manager of Messrs. Ewan and Co.'s mill
proved the turn-out ; and that the mill was for many
weeks regularly bcsiezed by the picquctc, who con-
sisted of strangers, and assembled round the mill
before five o'clock every morning, at which time the
hands came to their work. __ _

A workman in the employ of Messrs. Ewart and
Co. stated, that he was going to the mill and saw the
picquet assembled, amongst whom was defendant,
Robinson. That he heard them threatening a man
named Worrall, who, they said, had just got tn, and
from the language they used witness was deterred
from gcing to his work.
The prisoner, when called upon for his defence,
denied having used any threatening language, and
affected complete ignorance of the meaning of the
term picquets.
The CH AIRMAN (the Rev.W.R. Hay) in his charge
to the Jury, said the facts had been clearly proved
against the defendant, and established a case of con-
spiracy at common law without reference to the Com-
bination Act.--The Jury brought in their Verdict,
Guilty of Conspiracy."
The Counsel for the Prosecution then stated to the
Court, that it was by no means the wish of the pro-
secutors to have presented this defendant first to their
notice. Indictments had been found against the
principal offenders, but they had chosen, as they
were undoubtedly entitled, to traverse until the next
Session, and the prosecutors, therefore, did not desire
that any exemplarypunishment should be indicted

forward who were the greatest delinquents
