The Sun. — 1837-12-30 (London, England)

THE SUN, LON DON, SATITRDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1837.  not enough, for they ballotted to see who should be first to dismiss all the single men who had been suffered to remain after the married men had been turned out, and the lot fell on Mr. Pierce, of Cramptoncourt. lie actually did dismiss them; and he thanked God that, In return, he now had it not in his power to act in the same way.—(Loud cheers.) Then they knew that the poor married journeymen would be ;lad to come in at any price, and so they were. One of these unfortunate beings, from the hardships he endured, die 4 immediately after regaining some-employment, and an accusation of poisoning him was ins. Inediately got up against the journeymen.—(Hear, hear.) Twelve of the employers engaged in this combination, who had also caused informations for the alleged crime to be sworn to by a person named Burke, who was, consequently, lodged in gaol, would have sat upon the inquest but that the accused obtained professional assistance. The inquest was held, and the verdict of " died by the visitation of God" was returned. Whereas if those twelve employers had sat, a verdict of wilful murder would have been the inevitable consequence.— (Hear, hear.) They had heard much of the combination of the jour neymen ; they had heard nothing of this serious combination of the employers. He then gave a list of eleven Catholic employers who employed from 50 to 150 men each from the year 1798 to the year 1814. None of these houses were in being new—(Hear, hear)—and yet there had been no combination among the journeymen.—(Hear, hear!) In their trade the employers could take as many apprentices as they liked. There never was a combination: amongst them. There never was vio. 'encnce amongst them.—(Hear, hear.) After a few further observations Mr, Gauly concluded. The resolution was then put from the chair, and carried unani. mously. Mr. Davis moved the next resolution, which declared that the trades. men of Dublin had read with deep regret a speech delivered by Mr. O'Connell at a meeting of the Trades Union on the 6th of November, in which he stated that combination forces the muter to give the imperfect artizan the same wages as the industrious one. They denied this assertion, and asserted without fear of contradiction, thal there was no combination for the purpose of violence among the regular tradesmen of Dublin.  Mr. MURRAY seconded the resolution,which was passed unanimously. Mr. CNA ALES Gist& proposed the sixth resolution. Mr. RICHARDSON geconded the resolution, which was carried. Mr. M`Ms.xus moved a resolution, reprobating the late outrages in Dublin.  The resolution was seconded by Mr. DAVIS, and was carried unan mously.  Mr. Cassnou., chandler, moved a resolution, disclaiming on the part of the tradesmen any connection with illegal combination. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Harms, and carried. Mr. Dot LE, house-painter, proposed the ninth resolution. Mr. FINDL&Y, copper-plate printer, rose to second it. He said that one of the great complaints made against trademen was that, owing to the combination amongst them, work was sent out of the country. It was the duty of those who asserted this to show that trade went to those places where no combination existed. Why did not Mr. O'Connell do this ?—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) There was no combination amongst the copper-plate printers, and yet those who had work in that way sent it out of the country- There was not one of the banks, with the exception of Ball and Co., who did not get their copper-plate engraving and printing done out of the country. A voice in the crowd—Sure the engraving of O'Connell's own bank, which he patronised and recommended, is not done out of the country ? The speaker replied that all was done in England (cries of " shame, shame ; sure it is not possible that those who are draining so much out of the country in the shape of profits, which go into the pockets of Englishmen, don't:leave even that much amongst Irishmen.") The speaker continued by saying that even the price of engraving and print.. ing the bank notes was not given as a return to Irishmen—they were all done at tie house of Perkins and Heath, in London.—(Hear, hear.) [A resolution was then passed for inserting their resolutions in several I. ish papers, and the True Sun, which they did not seem to be aware, had merged into your Journal.]
