to them to lean to the fide of mercy-if they credited the evidence they heard, to find the tra erfers guilty of the riot and affault, the twe only excepted, to whom Mr. Potter could not pofitively wear. The Jury accordingly returned a verdict against the traversers.

The fame men were then indicted upon two or three other numbers for combination. Mr. Potter appeared in evidence against them. He had been informed that there was a committee of the combinators fitting in a public-houfe in Plunket-ftreet. He went to it, and on entering found the traverfers fitting at a table drinking, with one paper on the table, which they at tempted to burn. He fearched their pockets, and took out several other papers, which were produced in court thefe were fummonfes of the Committee to the several shops, and accounts of fums of money received by them for the support of the walking men. By the walking men was meant fuch as had refused to work without an increase of wages. This is one of the overt acts of combination, particularly stated in the late act. An alibi was attempted to be proved by two of the journeymen-but the Jury found every one of them guilty. The Judge expreffed an approbation of Mr. Potter's conduct, and was certain that, a little exertion in the mafters, would put an end to the combination.

Eight of the CALLICO and COTTON PRINTERS were then indicted for combination. These men were in the employ of Mrs. Cannon, of Ball's-bridge. It appeared, that on her prefuming to take an apprentice, in the place of one that had run away from her, without consulting her journeymen, they without any pre vious notice, had quitted their work. In general they left it unfinished. This manufacturer it appeared ufually kept upwards of one hundred

perfons employed throughout the years and be!

the defertion of the traverfers, no lefs than be. tween eighty and ninety honest industrious men, who were willing to work, were deprived of bread. No other cafe whatever was affigned for their behaviour; and the fact of combination was fatisfactorily proved by Mrs. Cannon, and her foreman. It appeared that the men had of fered to return to their work, but not until they had received information of examinations having been fworn against them.

Mr. Baron Power obferved in his charge, that there never was a more mistaken idea, than that of fuppofing that the growth of hands would injure the working men of any branch of man facture. If they encreated, the mantracture it felf must encrease, and thus infure comfort to themselves, and wealth to the nation." Of course the taking of apprentices, fo far from being prejudicial, must ultimately benefit the traverters, and their combination was without even apology. He was remarkably fevere in his animadverfions upon combination, which he lamented had of late been too prevalent. The jury returned a verdict, finding all the traverlers guilty.

27.1 Friday evening, a failor on board a collier, outward bound, by fome accident fell from the shroud, and ftriking against the fide of the veffel tumbled into the river, in which he was never feen to rife; every effort was made in search of the body, but without effect.

A correfpondent has defired us to communicate to the public an easy remedy against apoplexies or palfies, which he has found falutary When any perfon is ftruck with either of those diforders, the putting of some salt in their mouths will bring them to their fenfes. It has been tried upon a man that dropped down in the street, and feemed quite dead; but in about five minutes after the falt was in his mouth, he moved his arm and was raifed up; and by giving him fome cordial drink, in half an hour after the man walked home without any affiftance.

On Saturday the 28th, James M'Garry and Richard Troy were executed near the New Thofe unfortunate Gaol for ftreet robbery. young men feverally perfifted in the innocence of the crimes for which they were convicted, and requested Mr. Sheriff Thompson to make their last declaration known to the public.— Troy was a comely young fellow; M'Garry foarce attained his twentieth year. Their de portment was perfectly fuitable to their fituation; and interested the feelings and fympathy of every spectator acquainted with the melancholy circumstances under which they folemnly protefted they fuffered.

No less than thirty-eight prifoners have been difcharged from the City Marthalfea, at the private expence of Lord Earlsfort-a munificent a& fa benevolence, who confers more real dignity on the donor, than is in the power of ambition to bestow. Their debts in the grofs amounted to upwards of three hundred pound-The generality of thofe wretched people had long experienced the horrors of the prifon-houfe; and it is hoped they will not abuse his Lordship's humanity in future, but avoid contracting debts beyond their power to difcharge.
