THE TURN•OUT.

---- ---
(Prow Saturday's Mane/tester Guardian.)
At a numerous meeting of the hands in the mills of Messrs,
Waterhouse and Thompson, Mr. Waddington, and Messrs.
Clarke and Co., held on Monday morning last, near the
Engine Tavern, on the New Bradford-road, a resolution was
unanimously adopted, to the effect that all the mills must be
turned out, or no good could be done. It was stated, at the
same meeting, that it was expected 22 mills would be closed
by the end of the week. At another meeting of some hand-
loom weavers, it was stated that they intended to turn out
next week, to resist an alleged intended reduction of their
wages, to the extent of 6d. per cut on tnousselaines de laiize.
TURNING OUT OF WORKPEOPLE IN SALFORD.—On
Thursday morning, about half-past eight o'clock, a large
mob proceeded to the cotton mill of Messrs. James A.
Turner and Co., Booth-street, Salford, and turned out the
hands. Thence the same mob went to the mill of Mr. Wm.
Morris, James's-street, Oldfield-road, and called upon the
work people to turn out. They rushed out, armed with sticks
and other weapons, and expressed a determination to defend
their employer's property from any attack that might be made
on it. A few stones were thrown by the mob, and two of the
workmen were slightly hurt. Fortunately, the appearance
of Mr. Diggles and the Salford police, at this juncture, so
alarmed the rioters that they fled in all directions. Two of
the ringleaders, John Donnelly. of Miller's-land. Manchester,
and John Dunn, of Back Blakeley-street, Manchester, were
taken into custody. They were brought up before Sir Thos.
Potter, the same morning, at the Salford Town Hall, and
remanded to the following day. Mr. Morris's hands, and
also those employed in Messrs. J. A. Turner and Co.'s mill,
immediately afterwarde resumed work.---On Friday the pri-
soners were again brought up, anti committed for trial at the
sessions.

DEATH OF ONE OF THE RIOTERS.—Since writing the
above, we have ascertained that one of the rioters—a weaver
named Joshua Lyons--was stunned by a blow which he re-
ceived on the left side of the head, from one of Mr. Morris's
workpeople. Lyons was carried off by one of the mob, who
concealed him in a house in Salford, lest he should be appre-
hended by the police. The blow which he received left but
a slight mark, and it was expected that he would soon re-
cover from the effects of it ; but, perceiving that he became
worse, a surgeon was sent for, who ordered him to be taken
to the Infirmary. At three o'clock in the afternoon he was
admitted to that institution, in a state of insensibility, from
which he did not recover ; and he expired at half-past ten
o'clock yesterday morning. The deceased was a weaver, 25
years of age, and has left a widow and one child. It is sup-
posed that the rupture of some blood-vessel in the brain was

the cause of death. This is the first life that has been lost
during the disturbances. On inquiry at the Infirmary, last
night, we regret to learn that Edward Walsh, who was
wounded with pigeon shot, while endeavouring, along with
others, to turn out the hands employed at the Adelphi Dye
Works, Salford, on the 10th ult., is still dangerously ill, and
but little hopes are entertained of a recovery.
EXAMINATION OF BERNARD M`CARTNEY, THE LIVER-
POOL CHARTIST, AT MANCHESTER.—At a petty sessions
held at the New Bailey Court-house, in Manchester, on
Thursday last, Bernard M`Cartney, of this town, a Chartist
trade delegate, was placed at the bar, charged with having
used inflammatory language at a public meeting in Eecles on
the 11th of August last. The prisoner was apprehended on
Tuesday night last, at his house, in Crosshall-street and
many documents, showing his connexion with Chartism,
were found in his possession. Nathaniel Fryer, of Eccles,
proved that he had heard the prisoner address an assembly
at Eccles on the 11th of August. He addressed the meeting
as " fellow-slaves," and commented much on the evils the
working-classes were suffering, all of which he ascribes to
class legislation. He advised them to continue their cessa-
tion from labour until the document known as the People's
Charter became the law of the land. He used other expres-
sions tending to prove the power possessed by " rampant
capital over prostrate labour." On cross-examination by
M`Cartney, the witness said the prisoner inculcated peace,
law, and order. James Cromley and Richard Pollitt gave
similar testimony. M`Cartney commenced his address by
calling his haters " toiling slaves," and then entered at great
length into the destitution, poverty, and misery of the work-
ing-classes, whom he described as degraded to the lowest
pitch, and attributed all this to class legislation ; and recom-
mended the adoption of the People's Charter as the cure for
all their evils. He also spoke of " peace, law, and order ;"
and told the people not to injure person or property, nor even
to excite any man's feelings ; but the first part of his speech
was very exciting. He called the workpeople sons and
daughters of toil ; and said this was a contest between ram-
pant oppression and prostrate labour. He advised the people
not to work till the Charter became the law of the land. The
prisoner was remanded till the following day, when be was
again brought up and remanded till Friday next. Mr. Burt,
solicitor, applied for the prisoner's liberation on bail, but
the request was refused.
At Glossop, the life of Mr. Shepley, from whose mill the
rioters were fired on and three wounded, it is stated, is only
preserved by the presence of the military.
John Teer, Secretary to the Dyer's Union, was charged,
at the New Bailey, Manchester, with rioting and conspiring
to turn out the factory hands, and committed to the assizes,
but admitted to bail.

Bearstow, the Chartist lecturer, was apprehended in the
pulpit, at Bear-lane Chapel, Bristol, on Friday, while
haranguing about two hundred people. After a long exa-
mination, the magistrates bound him over in £lOO to keep
the peace and be of good behaviour for twelve months.
