named Enos to rob his m user, was re-examined. It appeared,
that as Knots was passing through little Ormond street, on Thurs-
day week, he was accosted by the prisoner, who keeps a green-
grocer's shop there. The prisoner asked him it he had-Any dead
bottles of blacking with him, saying that he would purchase them,
and give him sixpence a piece for them. The lad acquainted his
master of the circumstance, and two bottles were marked, and
given to him to take to the prisoner, who purchased them of him.
Mr. Harmer contended that the offence which the prisoner had
committed was not a felony, but a misdemeanour, for which be

tendance were accepted.

WORSHIP-STREET.
Toe SOITALFIRLDS Weayses.—Yesterday Mr. Hunter, and
several journeymen s. applied to the Magistrates. Air.
Burn and Mr. BROUGHTON. lot permission to hold a meeting of
the journeymen weavers at Ryan's Circus, at the Pitt's Head, Pot-
'street, Bethnal-green.
Mr. Bum (to Mr. Hunter)—Mr. Clarke, the landlntd of the
Pitt's Head, came here this morning to know if the weavers might
be allowed to meet in the Circus ; he was told not on any account.
The Circus is large enough to hold 1,500 persona, but that is nut
ill, then would be 5,000 or 4,000 outside. The peaceable inha-
•bliants have been much alarmed by die late numerous meetings,
which will not now be allowed, and I shall take care that the
.prace
is kept. lam sorry to say se much mischief has been done by the
weavers lately, and which has prevented large sums of money from
being given towards relieving their distress ; whether any of you
before me now have bad any thing to do with those outrages, is
impossible fire me to say; if you want to • meet, you must do it in
your houses, and if )ou meet hi the open air, we shall have to take.
very unpleasant steps.
Mr. Baottoseros—The weavers were first allowed to meet in the
open air in very large bodies, but in consequence of the late de-
struction of property, these meetings must be discontinued. If the
present differences between the journeymes and their masters are
not speedily settled, they will both be involved in one general ruin.
The masters themselves will not be allowed to'meet in the open air.,
Mr. Hunter (to Mr. Basrev)—When you were at the meeting
yesterday afternoon you recommended strongly that we should not,
meet in the open air but in any place under cover.
Mr. Bairn—l said' in a room or house, but not in a stable.
or riding-house, where nearly as many persons could collect as in
the open field.
Mr. BROUGHITON-lii putting an end to these meetings we are
the weavers' best friends. as they would in a very short time evi..
silently ruin them. It is impossible where there are so many thou-
sand persons assembled together la a field, or any other place, that
they can all hear what is said. They must confine themselves to

shop meetings.
Mr. Hunter—We should have no occasion for those paltry sub.
scriptions, Sir, if the masters would all pay the price, and allow ui to
live by our labour ; several masters have been paying ninepence per
yard for the same sort of works as other masters are only paying

hvepence for.
Sir. Bearer—We have nothing to do with that, we cannot
make the masters pay MI one price.
Mr. Hunter—Well, Sir, I hops: we shall soon be able to settle
every thing in an amicable way.
Here the cuuversation ended.

Mr. Hoes—What are you?
Eliza—l am (pausing and sobbing) an unhappy girl, Sir, and

thing in the hduse.
Mr. Hoag—That is part and parcel of the tenure by virtue of

unfortunate as she is represented. or we shall fine you directly for
the assault. This, Sir, is out opinion; and I should advise you to
pay her something in atonement for your adsconduct to her.
Mrs. Galloway, who was unawares lathe room, here exciiinred,
Don't pay her any thing, my dear !
Mr. BONE—Olikers, turn her out.

me, and now I am recommended to settle the affair, or make
matters up. .
