KATHERINE DOCK S.—The principal part of the
-workmen employed in thiS undertaking, particularly
bricklayers and' labourers, •and amounting to ;Mom
40 in number, struck work yesterday morning. .;lat-
ters.,.appeared to go on.in their usual routine LIMO Eves
icloci, when the whole, as. if by a given signal, de-
parted from within the enclosure, and declined pursuing
their usual employ'. The reason assigned for thispia-
ceeding is not an • anxiety on their parts to rose the
quantum of remuneration, which -they receive ice
their perilous and unhealthy laboursibut to temensum
against its reduition. Throughout the leo Ike
bticklayers were paid at the sate of four shillialo
per diem. and the excavators or labourers at that d
three shillings. During the last week it wasanaorrocre
that these slams were considered coo extravagant. *IA
that they would be diminished from the 19th (year'
day), to 3s ea. for the bricklayers, and 2s. 9J. for the
labourers. This they are determined to resist. osier"
that at this season of the year, when the prices of fuel
and provisions are on sbe increase the proposed iodic'
lion was ill timed, and the reduced wages inskieqoi
t• their support.
An inquest was held at St. Bar:holornew's Hospital!
on the body of C. Martin, a pig desler, oho JieJ
sa
consequence of being torn by the tin-ks or a riciom
boar be was dtiviog, as stated its our 1g odicc
