      oj > eitiE 2 the ease . said , that the deiVmiauts had made a contract with Richard Clark Pauling and Co ., whif-b contract they Lid not fulfilled . The information was laid in accordance with the 4 tb Georjre IV . Mr . R . utter then put in a written document signed by the defendant Read , whose case was taken first . Mr . Pauling swore to the contract and the signing of the same . The contract , it appeared , was made at l ) erby ; and tbe first condition tra < :. that Rr-ad should proceed forthwith to their works at Hulme , there to s-erve them as a good and efficient joiner until fhe first of May nest . At this stage of the proceedinss Mr . Roberts said , that before they went any further into the case he had an obiection to make . Mr .

      Roberts then pointed out to the Bench that there was not the least affinity betwixt the document now read ai / d the information ; in fact , the contract was one thing and the information totally another . A long discussion then took place betwixt Mr . Maude and Mr . Rutter . Mr . Mandecould not driveit into Mr . Rutter ' s noddle that his information was good for nothiuj ! , notwithstanding Mr . Maude pointed out the objection b ^ so clear a manner that every one in the Court understood it except Mr . Rutter . Uowever , Mr . Maude finally brought him to his senses by stating that the objection of Mr . Roberts was a fatal one , and therefore it was his duty to stop the case . The i * roM-cutors then applied for leave to amend their

      information , which was granted : and in a short time the amended information wa « handed up , when it was found tf > be worse than the other . They then besged further t : * n <\ which was srranted . and the < -ase will conic c » n ainiin novt Friday . On the same day . Mr .

      dischar ^ r < -H . and a -lobnny TSliap-straw " was put into the situation , whb knew nothing of the business . In the ni'Tnini . ' , when the men went in work , and found they had to trust their lives in the hands of this ines ]> rrienced man . tbry refused to venture down the shaft ,-unless a proper engineer was encaged . " Ob !" says Johnny , '" in order to prove my efficiency , 1 will wind-the empty tubs up and down , " and accordingly he did so : but in so doing he pulled the tub into the gearings , which would have caused certain death if any person had been in the tub at the time . Notwithstanding this , the tender-hearted Coal King would find ~ no letter man . The men . therefore , would not go down the pit to work ; the consequence

      was . that the Coal Kins took out warrants ajrainst the men for leaving work without notice . This ease was brought before the County magistrates about three ireelts ' ago , when Mr . Ackerley appeared for the ' masters and Mr . Scott for the men ; and in ustice to Mr . Scott , we must say that he defended vhe men honestly . After a lengthy and patient intestigation , the magistrates decided that the Coal King should pay tbe expenses , and find a proper engineer ; and that the men should give 14 days' notice . Tbr p . ien acted upon this , and went to their work ; but the master still refused to find them another

      enir'jieer . and the men consequently would not work . TThen the notice was up . they took out summonses for their wages ; and this was the case brought before the same bench of maeistrates on Friday last . Mr . Roberts appeared for the men , and Mr . Ackeriey for the mas ters . Mr . Roberts opened the case , and calJi-d wjTnpsses to proy ? that ibr men had aot&l in accordance with the instructions of the magistrates , but that the master had not . The defence > et up was , that there was r . o contract between the master a T » d ihe men for either party to give notice . This trial lasted Sve hours and a quarter . At the close of

      Untitled Article

      the case the magistrates decided that the master . slii'uld pay the man £ 2 fir his wages ; and had it not been for some little mis-take which ho had made himself , they would" have ordered the master to have paid him the full amount claimed , namely , " £ 2 ] 5 s ., or 5 s . per day , for liim and his drawer . There were two other similar cases , but the hour being far advanced the ; , were adjourned until Thunsday . On Saturday Mi " . Rober ts appeared to prose-ente some of Messrs . Pauling , llenfrcy , and Co . ' s knobsticks , and one ot the foremen , for assaults . conviYnUeil by them . In oi : i- case they entered the house of a Mr . Kitchcv , and abused his wife ; and in two other cases they had abused some of the old liand .-s without cause ' Mr . Rutter appeared for the defence . After a patient hearing , the whole of the knoksticks . with the foreman , were bound over to keep the peace .

      ANOTHER VICT ORY FOR LABOUR . Manchester , Friday , Nov . 29 th . Lr . another portion of this day ' s paper will be found a report of a case of "breach of contract , " heard in th <* Borough Court of Manchester . The complaining parties were Messrs . Pauling , Ilenfrey , and Co ., the defendants were journeymen joiners , of the names of Read , "W eilder , Slatter ! Robinson , and Taylor . Mr . Roberts , at the first hearing , took an objection to the information , which was held to be fatal . The

      comp lainants applied to the court for time to amend the information , and to take counsel ' s opinion , which was granted ; and Friday , Nov . 2 l ) th , fixed for the further hearing of the case . This day , then , the parties again appeared : and it soon came out that the information had been sent to London , either to be drawn up afresh or to procure counsel ' s opinion on it . Mr . Roberts , who appeared for the defendants , had not an opportunity of seeing the information until he appeared in court : and only had a few minutes to examine it before the hesirinff camo on .

      Mr . Monk , barrister at law . appeared to conduct the case for the complainants . Wni . Taylor was first railed up . Mr . Monk said this was another vi \* k arising out of the differences i > et \ veon Messrs . Pnulini ; and their men . and which had occupied * o mm-h ot xhv public attention . Mr . Kobms here rose ¦ and said , that he thought tlii > the proper time to make an objection which lie h . id Jo raise . The ohjre-tion was . that a man conM vj'i )> e tried tn ' tce fur thcunmr offence . This he submitted wa < the case with his client : for , notwithstanding that the wording of the Information was aheivd . yet tbe offence was tho same . He referred to several rasps in support of his position . The Court <> ver-mled the objection ; and Mr . RoU'rts rojiic-sted that Mr . Maude , the stipendiary magistrate , would make a note of the objection , as it niiirht 1 « - wanted if be found it nci-e >« irv to take the c ; isc into the court of Queen ' s Hom-h .

      Mr . Monk then said that the information was laid for breach nf n written a < . Tcement l > et « ixt the persons charged and Messrs . Pauling and others . Master Builders , of Illume ; which agreement they , thr persons charged , had not fulfilled , lie called Mr . Richard Clark Paulini ; . who proved the signing ol the document , at Derby , on the 19 th day of Oct . last . Mr . Roberts had several objections to take to the information -, in fact , ifwiis not worth a straw . The first objection was , that only a )* vrt of the agreement was mentioned in -the information . In the contract were these words ; " according to the annexed rules . " He ( Mr . Roberts ) wanted to know what rules ? Why were the rules not mentioned in the information ( Thev ought to have been there

      to assist the Magistrates in the investigation . Their not being there , was fatal no the information . His next objection was , that the information was had in law , inasmuch as it was not properly made out . He believed , in cases of partnership , that the names of all the partners should be given in full . But in this information it was " Mr . George Pauling and others , Master Builders at Hnlme , " He considered this bad in Jaw . just as much so as an imperfect venue in an indictment . Up hud another objection , and that wi > . that the contract was contrary to the Stamp .- \ e : _ The Stamp Act allowed contracts between " nias-tors and servants" to !*• unstamped ; but thi- particular contract did not come within the iiifanini" of that clause , inasmuch as the parties

He had many other objections , which of themselves would 1 > e fatal . H < would mention another ; that was , that hi » client " did dot come within the meaning of the Act of Parliament under which the information was laid . He ivfered | to the words , "<> , tipr , r and other persons . " His clients di'l not answer to the parliamentary definition of the word " artifin'r . " In support of his artrument , ho referred to several Acts of Parliament which defined the term in question—the 27 th < icri . Ii ., chaj » . ftth ; the 31 st ( Jco . II .. chap 11 th ; the 56 th Geo . 111 ., and the " Truck

      Act . " In all of these it was set forth what description of workers were included in the term " artificer : " but in none of them was to be found either "joiner" or "carpenter . " It might be said that the word " artificer" was a general term . lie admitted it ; but they were not to reason his clients into prison ; but they must go "' according to law , " He would particularly call their attention to the Truck Act . In that Act tbe word " artificer" was defined ; and in that definition "joiners" were not included , as he had explained . It might be asked what that had to do with the Act under which the information was laid ? He snbmitted that if the legislature debarred his clients from the benefits and protection of the one Act , it might be reasonably supposed that it was intended to exempt them from the penalties of the other . There was also the case of

      " . servant-labourers , " for which a separate clause was made in the Act ; and if the legislature had intended to include "joiners , " would it not have made a separate clause for the "joiner" as well ' . Tie argued that "joiners" were not " servants ; " for " servants" were parties whom the master could call at anv time to do anything he -. ranted doii ; g . That constituted a " servant . " A joiner was not such ; for oven during the hours of labour the master had no power to make him do anything but work at joinering . Mr . Roberts occupied an hour and three quarters - in arguing on his several objections , during the whole of which time , notwithstanding the court was crowded to suffocation , every word was listened to with breathless attention . In conclusion , Mr . Roberts submitted his objections to the consideration of t ) w Court , un /] Ttfunuv ] lib aiiit .

      Mr . Maude said , that Mr . Roberts had raised one objection which was fatal to the information , namely , the omission of the ku . es , which formed one part ot the contract . Mr . Monk thought not . He thought that the miles wore no part of the contract . Mr . Maude : You might as well contend that if we had a contract , occupying a full sheet of paper , there was sufficient to prove the contract on one-half , and that the other half ' might be cut off and dispensed with , as no part of the contract .

      A lengthy discussion then ensued between Mr . Mande and Mr . Monk , which was put an end to by-Mr . Maude deciding that the information was bad . He therefore dismissed , -the ease . Mr . Monk then said he would withdraw the other informations . Mr . Roberts : No , you will not . I appear in them all ; and they must share the fate of the one just heard . The men have entered their plea , and are in custodv . Thev must be " delivered" in due

      course . Mr . . Maude : Are the rest precisely similar to the one just heard ? Mr . Mank : Precisely the same . Mr . Maude : Then they must be treated in the same way . The ease against each is dismissed . Mr . Roberts , to the prisoners : You are all imschargkd ! This announcement was received with one simultaneous burst of applause . Thus has Labour achieved another victory over vindictive feeling . When Mr . Roberts beat Mr . Rutter on the first hearing , one of the " firm of Pauling's " said that they would expend £ 20 , 000 before they would be beat by such a man a . < Roberts . Theytook their steps accordingly . They sought the advice of counsel ; they sent the informations to London to be drawn ; they retained Mr . Monk , with Air . Rutter as attorney -, and after al ] they were beaten by the poor man ' s atiornev .

      How galling . ' How annoying : And what a lesson does this ease teach to the Workers I Had there not been an honest and able " Attorney-general" in Court for the men , erery one of the defendants would at this moment have been in prison . Their committal would

      ( BRADFORD . The Wooj .-Co . mbkks . —Several of the wool-combere ' employers are reducing the wages of the nieu in their employ , In inanv instances , where a direct reduction is not made m the wages , the sorts are altered , and the operative has to comb wool one-penny or three-halfpenc . e per pound less . A ^ rreat number of power looms are standing still , and hundreds of woolcombers ? are on short time . BAItKINO . ESSEX . Strike of the Barking Fishermen . —Xu feu or than sixt } fishing smacks , belonging to Harking , in Essex , are at this momtmt lying in the Kiver , a little below Woolwich , their crews having brought them home from sea , and struck work . As the Barking fishery lias long boon one of

      the principal sources of supply to the HHliugagutc Market , a few particulars respecting its present condition , and the alleged causes of the sU'like , may not be unacceptable t » our readers . The total number of . smacks belonging to Harking , though nominally sailing from the port of London , is about one liuudrvil uiul sixty . These are wet-bottomed vessels , generally of from fifty to sixty tons , and carrj-iiin each tlirw men bvsiden tlie captain , and about the sain <> number of appi-eiititx" ! . Tlieir prineijial tishing grounds are ott tin- Co . 'Kt of llollanJ , and iluring the e »> d suason in the Ninth sea ; uid about the Orkney Islands .

The duration of ttie \ oyupn : is ; dhu subject to a corresponding variation from tliu same circumstam ' es . Vr'hcre several : smacks ;< u tht * ' property of a single owner , or of two or three in the same family , they are generally worked in fleets of from fifteen to thirty sail , each smack in its turn bringing to market the fish caught by the whole fleet . In this -way . a large fleet is enabled to keep up a regular and constant supply ; thus a fair average of tlie market is secured , and the time of absence from home rendered less variable and uncertain . Frequently , however , the smacks only come up the river as far as Gravesend , and having disbarged their cargo of fish into the hatch-boats ; that ply between that place and in

      the London market ^ they take fresh provisions and return to sea . This is called making' a " Gravesend voyage . " It tends to keep the men longer from their homes and families ; but effects a great saving of time to the ownetjs . Formerly these Gravesend voyages were not so coTuniou as they are ! at present ; and the men generally found means to get home on tlie average once a month . But to meet the increased competition that the supply ot fish by railway has introduced , the owners have made them more frequent , tilt the usual time of absence has increased to six or eight weeks , and often more . One extensive proprietor , the owner of about 50 vessels , has also for the last year employed a very fast sailing cutter to carrv provisions to his smacks , and those of the numerous

      small owners who are his dependents , and to bring their fisb back to meet the boats at Gravesend . By this means the crews of more than half the smacks belonging to the place have been kept out at sea for periods of from three to six months . This lengthened absence from home and its coiufoTts the working fishermen have long felt to be a great pi-ivation , their stays 011 shore being always much shorter than those of other seamen . The middle Class of owners , thinking probably that a partial return to the old system would place them on a more equal footing with the extensive proprietor above referred to , lent a favourable ear to their complaints , and with their concurrence the crews of seventy vessels have struck and returned home . The other owners have , it is Said , proniiset

      to take an additional hand in each vessel , to prevent any boing thrown out of berth , should the men ' s demands not be . aeceded to . The apprentices , of whom more than two hundred are already on shore , will , of course , be thrown upon their masters' hands . The demands of the men are for increased wages and shorter voyages . The present rate of wages is , men fourteen shillings a week , and mates sixteen . They want this to be advanced tno shillings in each case , and the : time of absei . ee to be limited u > one month . The majority of the owners seem inclined to grant them this , bur other ? are averse to all couee-ssiim . The general opinion -, however , K that "the owners must give in .

      elsewhen-, except under certain conditions , had in view tO compel the operatives to stop in a ; particular locality , and also to prevent their getting higher wages . The unjust regulation he had pointed out was what they chiefly complained of at present ; for on any jone leaving a shop he mu . it have a quittance paper , on which was stated the amount of wages he had reeei . Dd > the cause of his discharge , and full particulars about him ; and if the man had left on account of lowi \ ess of wages , there was no work for him ; for these associated masters had check - hooks , giving particulars as to the'Characters of all their lliimls . Mr . Taylor moved a ^ solution , to the effect that a protective and friendly society or association of the mechanics , millwrights , engineers ; moulders , and smiths , should be formed forthwith . Mr . Toole , from Manchester

      seconded the motion . —After one or two other addresses , Mr . John David JJoyd , of Manchester , said he was of opinion that the intended association would place the p' -rativt's in the proud position they were entitled to hold . As soou as a prosperous period had occurred in trade , most of their employers united together to deprive them of the . only legitimate right they yet possessed , the r ight to sell their labour in the bvst market .

      Resolved :- ^ " That having- heard the unanimous resolutions of the Polish Refugees in London , passetl on the 5 th of June last , on occasion of the visit of the Tyrant Nicholas , this meeting , assembled for the purpose of commemorating the last Polish revolution of 1830 , cannot better fulfil its object , nor more worthily honour the present anniversary , than by declaring its approval of and adherence to tlie said resolutions—concurring in their spirit—echoing tlieir inflexible determination—and asst-rtins the claims of Polish independence to every bound , arv violated- by any of the partitions of which Poland has Ijien the vjctirti—protesting against all invasions of the rights and liberties of Poles by foreign courts and cabinets . ; in < l claiming for the Polish people the sovereignty of Poland , and the emancipation of the Polish soil . " Mr . Lin ton" seconded the resolution , which was curried unanimously . Mr . Parky moved the second resolution : —

      Kesohed : — " That the perseverance of the Polish emisruTits in advocating ^ he cause of their country—their annual celebration of the < lay in which Poland made an . effort to regain her imlependence—the contempt with which thtjy spuvned every . amnesty offered to them—and above ail , the spirit internally working upon the Polish millions , breaking nearly every year through the crust oi JUissian institutions , and provoking those atrocious persecutions ajrainst the language , religion , enlightenment , and liberty of the Polish people—are so many solemn and perpetual testimonies of the vitality of Poland , and

      therefore of their right to be considered and treated as a nation by the nations of Europe , who are bound to regard the wrongs inflicted on her , as infractions of their common rights to freedom , independence , and self-government-, and that this meeting , considering the great cause of freedom as one and the same everywhere , and never to be rooted out from the affection of the patriotic , never to be abandoned by the heroism of the bravelooks to the triumph of Poland in her future struggle for independence , as necessary to the security and happiness of Europe , and hence as entitled to find as many zealous allies as there are nations filled with tlie hatred of

      tyranny . " ' . . Mr . H . Vi . vce . nt seconded the resolution , which was unanimously adopted . Mr . P . Tatlor moved the third resolution , which was simply an appeal to the Liberal press to publish , the foregoing resolutions . M . Zaba ( a P ° le ) then addressed the meeting in an animated speech , which elicited general cheering , lie observed , that upon that day the Poles in every

      country iu Europe , who were not enslaved , had met together to express their ardent devotion to their native country , and to renew tlieir vows to employ ill their endeavours for its regeneration . These sentiments were participated in by the unfortunate exiles who were groaning in the mines of Siberia , and upon that day their heartfelt prayers were offered up to heaven for the deliverance of their native land . This unity of spirit would beget a unity of action , and the day was not fartli ^ ifttrtaj-lien Poland would be free .
