Casllelon. Stage proprietor, has suffered the
loss OF between twenty and thirty horses
during the winter. Many other Instances
might be mentioned where poor families
have lost their only co,o and ten sheep, which
the law in its clemency allowed Them to

them by hunger and death.

are double what they few year, ago, when they
had the same wages given them. In such state
of inequality how can they live There is has
a worse opinion ofiTrades Unions than we have They
are perfect nuisances-nere grogroom conyeniicles-
ruml-drinsng assemblages-which do more harm than
good. But many trades and jouneynen have some
reason for revolving against the present of things

oppressive hardheared extorlion. Another source of
wrong the monopoly and forestalng system practised
by band of men who Congregate about the Upper
Bulls Head, and are backed by the Butchers and
Drovers' Bank. They, and they alone, the pre-
sent high prices of provisions in the various markets.
All these causes combined have rendered il necessa-
ny for the journeymen TO demand higher wages. His

years ago-but his income is nearly the Proba-

more oppression the poorer classes than any single

on such thing occurring, writ may be issued and

of the law is somewhat equvocal and appears to refer
