RIOTS IN STOCKPORT.

We regret to say that the peaceable disposition of the
operatives which has been manifested throughout the
whole affair of the torn-out, was on Tuesday changed
into an indication of violence and disorder. In the after-
noon a large concourse of people had assembled en Hea-
ton.laneigathered it would seem by an opinion aniongst
them that a a knobstick," with his family and furniture
!lad arrived t take the situation of some other ipinner.
It was no sooner discovered than his furniture was
thrown about and attempted to be broken; and this inten-
tion being met with some opposition from the man's
ft tends, stones were thrown at his party, and it was
rendered necessary for their protection that the civil
power should be called in. During the affray the people
had congregated to the number of 2000, and from their
hooting and yelling., serious apprehensions presented
themseives, and it was soon seen that the police officers
were incompetent to the ta►k of dispersing such a
body, though three of the most riotous had been taken
from amongst them. On the arrival of a Magistrate
for the purpose of reading the Riot Aet, with a detach-
ment of the infantry, they had principally dispersed ;
but those who bad gone away had done so by signal
from one of them, and they had taken the road to Port-
wood, where they attacked the windows and house of
one of the Scotch people who have been brought into
the town to work. In this attempt they were followed,
and again dispersed, but not without first doing some
mischief.

The following evening, about seven o'clock, the
people began again to congregate in Heaton-lane, op-
posite to the George Inn, and upon the appearance of
any police officer they were instantly saluted with
hooting' and hissing, of the most annoying description.
In this way did their hostility to all authority begin to
exhibit itself, and every minute alter that hour, until
eight, the crowd thickened so rapidly, that the whole
length, from the George Inn, to the Wellington Bridge
Inn, was, in that short time, one dense mass of per-
sons. To disperse Such a body by the aid of the
civil power was thought impossible; still the at•
tempt was better to be made by the civil power
than to call in the auistance of the military, and for
that purpose. the magistrates with a posse of special con•
stables attempted to direct the front of it by turtling
it down the steps, which leads to the Chestergate; but
in thi. they were unable, as the mob defied all resist-
ance, and easily forced its way up the road towards
Sprint Bank Mill. They had no sooner effected this
'poidriban they commenced throwing bricks and stones
.at the Magistrates and Constables, in such numbers and.
with such violence as to put their lives in the most im-
mineot jeopardy for some time, many of the special
ciinstables being seriously injured, and Mr. Marsland
himself, from the rush of the multitude, being
thrown down. This stale of battery was kept up by
the multitude until the Magistrates, with the High Co-
nstable and a picquet of six men of the 67th tout ar-
rived to the assistance of the special constables and
police ofLess, when it *at deemed necessary to read
the Riet•Act, and afterwards to order the soldiers to
fire. Bat the Order to do so was to intimidate rather
than to injure, and they were directed to elevate the
mouth of their pieces so as to pass over the heads of
the rioters. Several rounds were fired without the
Slightest effect towards their dispersion, and it was
not until Silty shots bad been fired, in this manner,
that they could be inJuced to depart. A few per-
sons were seised by the special constables and
conveyed to the New Bailey ; their names are—
John Done, a baker, SO years of age; James Perkins,
19, a carder ; William Shore, 17, a piecer ; John Roth-
well, 24, a carder; Samuel Bodes), 22, a • spinner ;
Henry Wayte, 19, a weaver; William Limiter, 18,
a labourer, and Edward Fletcher, 19, a labourer. Two
ether prisoners, John Dugdale, 28, a spinner, from
Manchester, and Joseph Smith, 40, a stretcher, also
from Manchester, were seized and. brought from the
Gall tivein to the New Bailey, by order of the magis-
trate', under suspicion of appearing as delegates from that
town. All the prisoners appeared before the magistrates
at the Petty Sessions on Thursday, and were rcmandeJ

to SatcrJay,eacept Done, who was discharged. By tee
clock the tussah had subsided, and the anchor ides had
left the pound, nor did any thing further occur after-
winds. Mr. Robinson, of Spring Bank Mill, had some
windows in the lodge of his factory broken, but further
violence was prevented. We are sorry to hear of seve-
ral persons having been huit by the firing ti the soldiery,
as such cases must have been purely accidental, but we
find on inquiry that none of them me very serious.

WORSHIP STRRET.

Tat SPITALPILLSO Witameas.—Saturday. several Immersion
weavers were placed at the bar, charged with asides and destroy-
ing the silk, kc. entrusted with them to weave.
Charles Dow's., of No. 4. Bedford-tow, Twigfelly, was Sea
placed at the bar, charged with destrwylog a quantity of velvet,
the property of Daniel Walters, et Wilson-street, Finsbery.
Mr. Walters stated as fellows.—On the 10th March, I delivered
to the prisoner sissy yards of velvet ground, and one hundred mod
sixty yards of Pelt. On Sunday evening last, about fa o'clock,
he came to me and said his work had been esti that be heard a
knock at the doer, and told his wife it was some of the mita, not I
chaps, and not to open the door ; there came another knock, and
his wife opened it, when sand men rushed in and cut one loosn's
work belonging to me, and two looms' work belonging to mother
master.

Wm. Merryman, a journeyman weaver in the employment tit
Mr. Walters, stated—On Sunday evening last I was walking polit
the prisoner's bane, when I saw a great crowd, and was told some
work belonging to my master had been cut; I west into the shop,
and saw the velvet produced cut to pieces; I paid one halfpenny to
see it ; I did not see the prisoner there ' • there were a great many
kaUpence and silver on the table in the shop; k was given for the
relief of the prisoner.
Mr. Walten—How mock work of this sort can you do a day?
that is, by working from seven o'clock till ail in the evening.
blerrynian—A yard and a half, Sir.
Mr. Baoutioirou—How muck money do you suppose was col-
lected T---Merrynsan I heard about 101.
Mr.'eaummeose—Has your work been cut?
Merryman—Yea, Sir; I cut it a and took it hems this morn.
ing—(A laugh)—but it has not been destroyed.
Mr. Walters—l paid ball a crows per yard, and surely a man,
by making a yard and a half a day, can get a living. The very
morning the work was cur, the prisoner came io the warehouse for
same money ou account of his work; I paid him ISt. and told him
set to leave his house, as so many keens' work had bees cut. He
said he would not. He has received altogether IL ISs. on account
of his work, by false represeatadens, saying he had does more work
than he actually had.
BOOVOIITOO (to the prboner).—lt's clearly proved you had
the work, and it's cut, you mum show us you did not cut it; and if
,sett by any other person you must show you made some resistance,
the same as you would have dew for your own property.
Prisoner—lts false to say I got 101. there was mot a quarter of
VII I wish there was, it would be a service to use--sow paid Id.
sad souse
Idr. asooeseou—There Is something very particular about your
ease; it is a more serious riarge than you are aware of; and as
you are criminally charged, you need not answer any question es-
cept you think proper.
The second and third cases were against !When Orange, of No.

Mr. Waiters stated, ea the id of April I delivered to the
setter Orange 110 yards pole and 100 yards velvet ground. upon
which he has received 31. 108 at account ; and en the fd of April
I delivered the sante quantity to Galant, and he has received
U. Is. on account ; beth the Owners obtained the money by say-
ing they had done more work than they actually had. I accused
the prisoner Gallica', of having deceived sea--be said be was jus-
tified in attending the meetings, and must be paid foe it. I had
cautioned them net to leave their bonen. Os Wedneaday morn-
ing last Orange same to ase and said both work had been cut and
the reedy broken.

Prisoner Orange—W. want knows that my looms' week is
in Oaillenges house, sad 1 stns obliged to work there, having no
tools of my own. Os Wednesday morning, about two es three
o'clock. some perms' knocked at my door, and told me my work
had been destroyed. i went and saw it had been cot to pieces.
Prisoner Oalkenge made the usual defence dm some perms
knocked at the door, kis wife got up, and saw some one is tlto
stairs, but did nut wake him.

Mr. Bainiestree—Yours bas yea a case as ever came before
me. You draw money from your master. but don't work—the
money is to spend—those meetings are ruining you—yoor swim
are utterly absurd. I shall remand you until Tuesday neat. and
Orange must enter into his own recognizance in 511. to appear at
this office en Tuesday.
The fouttb case was against an old man named James Cole, re-
siding in Swan court, also in the employment of Daniel Walters,
for cutting a quantity of silk velvet.
The prisoner was ordered to find bail.
The Ards case was against James Alexander (who had bees de-
tained in the watch-boose all night) in the employment of Meters.
Francis and Jelin Giles. of &eward•strset, appal-delds, for cot-
sing a quantity of um de Naples, between SO and SO yards of
which bad been stolen.

Ik. Baonsutrono—Your's is a very argravidcd cave; tie ow/ 11
you have told is an improbable NW, and very differost from what,
Too told the slicer.
The prisoner was remanded until Totsday nest.
When the weavers were getting into the leak for the purpose of
being eouveyed to Oerkenwell prime. they were cheered by a num-
ber of weavers who were waldog outside she slice. The standar
don lasted about seven boars.

In consequence of the limeades destructio• of silk, audio order
to save what is in the hands of the journeymen. several of the ma-
nufacturers have agreed to give the prices the ieurneymea have re-
quired, that is the priers of 1124; bat when the weavers went to some
of their misters for work they were refused it, wet wand they make
any farther advance of wages; and. indeed, several of them have
declared they cannel coadaue the prices of 1524. A jearneyman
, who had three apprentices, was asked what difference the
prices of 1524 would make in his family? He replied 30s. per
week. What, then win he the consequence when the masters
deviate from the prices el 11124? Why it will create a greater dis-
turbance than ever.

The wifc of a weaver, owned Resew, mad, a complaint t. as
Magistrate, about a bill that bad bus stuck ID a publican's wia-
dow, threatening her husband's life, for basing taken his wick
home to his muter.

Hanky, the officer, was dispatched to the King and Queen.
Hare-strect, Botbnal-gmen. and brought the landlord in custody,
together with the paper out of tke window. which tan u follows:
"Take nodre,thu W. Renew went to ask his master to let bias
bring his work home, done and endone' for tear of its being de-
stroyed, and be took It home to Mr. Bdasoods ; the said man lives
at No. 57, St. John &rem."
Mr. Hausmann said. it was a most inflammatory paper, and cal.
sedated to do a deal of mischief ; the man's Ufe was in danger by
being held up to public exposure to upwards of gOoxits weavers,
and the landlord should be answerable for the consequences.
Mr. Benjamin Homer, the landlord. said be did not knew It was
In his window, it mast have been put in by some person unknown

_
Mr. Dsocanros said the °Vence was very reprehensible. aid be
sbould sequins Mr. Homer to enter into his sown recognisance in

at the Sessions.

Yesterday morning several other looms were cut, one of which
belonged to Messrs. kluore and Wilson, and w barb had only bets
given out a few days age; the weaver to wheal it was entrusted
absconded for several hours, but was apprehended by a puts of the
Bowlstreet patrols. He said be was talking to the man who cot it
for a considerable time about some birds, yet does net know film

coming against the curb stone, his scull was fractured.
He sc.,' conveyed to Middlesex Hospital in a state of

Wednesday siennight, the wife of Mr. John Goodwin,
carpenter. of Borstall,' near Whitstable, expired, after
giving birth to a fine child (the eleventh). When the
melancholy event was disclosed to the husband, it had
.uch an effect on him as to bring on violent hysteric fits,
which continued at intervals two or three days. His
ruffei lags, however, were so acute,• that be died, sup-
posed of a broken heart, in something less than a week
of er the demise of his wife.

Patron was concerned DO other iteration took place, for be kept

dagidsked his other rues. Some say he was only by a neck, and
Mhos ball a length. The judge, however (the one most likely to

CHESTER, MAT 9.

./sim Nandi* and Job Leer were execeteil in frost
f the City Ganl *is morning. io the presence of an
molease concourse of spectators, the great mijnrity of
whom were persons o' both sexes of a very tender age.
Sheriff Bowers was in attendanie as early a. three
k 'clock this morning. and spent upwards of an hour in
:boning the criminals before h- and Mr. Sheriff Allen-
ter escorted them to the City Gaol. bone their coovic3'.
Lion the Chaplain to the Gael has been in frequent at.
teadance upon them. and moss unremitting in his-ch.
deavours to awaken them to a sense of their +Mill
situation. Proodlove manifested through ut a proper
sense of his situation, so tar as could be judged from
his having the negative merit of hearing the exhorts.
tions and admonitions of the Chaplain with apparent
respect and attention. Leir continued to the last
perfectly callous and indifferent to what was passing
around him. He ate his meals heartily. as usual,
and, on the night before the execution. he slept so
soundly that the watchman of the Castle, whose duty
it was to call him up, to prepare for his conveyance to
the City GA 1, had considerable difficulty in awaking
him. He swallowed a large basin of tea and ate
several slices of bread and butter for his breakfast this
morning, and seemed to chide his companion in misery.
Proudlove. because he could scarcely eat a morsel.
After the Chaplain took his leave of the culprits (for he
did not accompany them to the platform)L-ir m ingested
the same hardened demeanour as before. He spoke to
those wound him with calmness and composure, and
solemnly protested that Patterson (convicted with him,
and now under respite)is innocent of the burglary.Wh.n
the executioner was pinioning hit arms he said, " You
ace nu occasion to tie so bard—don't ler, I shan't smug.
I much." He also desired that his neckcloth should be
•
ake:i off, wed his coat buttoned, observing. as he Inarlemi
at it. " I little theme when this war new that it was
made for this joli." Pioudlove said n-rc a woidduring
the preparations. Both ascended the seaffrld whit a
6rm step, and without any assistance; Leir in parti-
cular seemed to ascend the steps with alacrity. He held
the handkerchief in his hand, and let it drop before the
executioner could descend to draw the fatal bort.—
Prousilove died almost instantaneously hot [Air strug.
gled violently, owing to the rope having .liKed round,
and the knot getting behind on the nape of his neck.
It was full s: ten minutes before he ceased to struggle.
The bodies of both the culprits were fetched away by
their friends.

Proudlove was • native of Sandbach, in his 25th
year. and has left a wife and four children to lamest
his untimely end. His eldest br,,ther was executed on
the same spot 19 years ago. for shooting at an anise-
man, being the first criminal executed at the new drop;
and another brother was transported. This man was
convicted at the late Assizes of highway robbery, under
circumstances of great aggravation.
Leir was an unataeried man, by trade a silk weaver,
land was most grossly ignorant. He could neither
read nor write, and had no idea of a Irvine state of
rewards an,! punishment. He was convicted of a most
desper ate burglary in the house of the Rev. Matthew
