Pauling < -svore to the contract and the signbis of tiie same . The contract , it appeared , was made at Derby : and the first condition was , that Read should proceed forth-with to their works at Ilulme , there to serve them as a good and i-ifieient joiner until tinfirst of May r . ext . At this staire of the proeeedin ; . ^ Mr . Roberts said , that before they went any further into the case he had an objection to make . Mr . Roberts then pointed out to the Bench that there was
not the least affinity betwixt the document now read and the information ; in fact , tbe contract was one thing and the information totally another . A long disenssion then took place betwixt- ilr . Maude and Mr . Rutter . Mr . Maude could not drive it into Mr . Rutttr ' s noddle that his information was good for nothing , notwithstanding Mr . Maude pointed out the objection in so clear a manner that every one in the Court understood it except Mr . Rutter . However , Mr . Maude finally brought him to his senses bv statins : that the objection of Mr . Roberts was a Jatal one , and therefore it was his- duty to stop 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 oh it . Mr . Roberts , who appeared for the defendants , had not an opportunity of seeing the information until he appeared ill court ; and only had a few minutes to examine it before the hearing came on , Mr .

Mr . Monk then sail ) that tho infoj-nmion was laid for breach of a written agreement betwixt tlie persons charged and Messrs . Pauling and others , Master Builders , of Ilulme : which agreement they , the persons i-harued , had not fulfilled , lie called Mr . Richard Clark Paulina , who proved the . signing of the document , at Derby , on the 10 th day of Oct . List . M _ r . Roberts had several objections to kike to the information ; in fact , it was not worth a straw . The first objection was , that only a part of the agree ment was mentioned in the information . In the contract were these wo 2 "ds : " according to the annexed rules . " He ( Mr . Roberts ) wanted to know what rules ? Why -wit the rules apt mentioned in the in&rmaiaDii % They ought io Itkve been there
to assist the Mjjgistratesjn the investigation . Their not being there , was fatal no the information . His next objection was , that the information wa » bad in law , inasmuch as it was not properly made out . He believed , in cases of partnership , that tin ; names of all tbe partners should be given in full . But in this information it was " Mr . George Pauling and others , M ; u-ter Builders'at Hulim .-. " Heeoi ^ idered this bad in law , just a-- < niucb so as an imperfect venue in an inii )' rinent . Ui- had another objection , and that » as , tiiilt the contract was contrarr to the Stamp Act . Tiie ^ tamji Act allowed contracts between ma-ni-s and . servants " - to l « unstamped ; but thi- panit-ular contnict did not come within the meaning ' > t ' that cbm » e . ina ^ mucii ; is the parties

Act . " In all of the .-e it wa . s set forth what description of workers were included in the term " artificer ; "' but in none of them was to be . found cither "' joiner" or " carpenter . " It might be said that the word " aitificer' was a general term . lie admitted it ; but ihty were not to reason his clients into prison ; but they must < ro " according to law , " He would particularly call their attention to the Truck Act . Jn that Act the 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 submitted 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 i He anrued that "joiners '' were not " servants ; " for " servants" were parties whom the master could call at any time to do anythinj : he wanted doing . That constituted a * " servant . " A joiner was not such ; for even during the houi"s of labour the roaster bad no power to make him do anything but work at joiijt'iinj ; . Mr . Roberts occupied an hour and three « iuarters in arinuni ; on his several objections , during the whole of which time , notwithstanding the court wn « cn > w ( ii'd to suffocation ,-even" word was listened in with breathless attention . In conclusion , Mr . lin )»! t < submitted his objections to the consideration \ 'i i ! i < - < ourt . am ! r- ^ inued his scat .
Mr NL-mdf said , that Mr . Roberts had raised one nbjccimu which s ; b iaial to the in formation , namely , the niiii » ioi ; oi tho ki i . i . ~ , ¦ which formed one part iii the contract . Mr Monk tiif . tmht not . ile thoutrht that the rules wen- n <> purl of the cnuvn . it . Mr .

A l .-u ^ tby discussion then ensued between Mr . Mattde aud Mr . Monk , which was put an end to by Mr . Maude deciding that the information was bad " . He thei-efore dismissed the case . Mr . Monk then said he would withdraw the other informations . Mr . Roberts : No , you will not . 1 appear in them all : and they must share the fateot the one just heard . The men have entered their plea , and are in custodv . Thev must be "' delivered " in due
course . . \ lr . Maude : Are tbe rest precisely similar to the one just heard ? ill " . Mank : Precisely the same . Mr . Maude : Then they must be treated in tbe same way .

Thus has Labour athie \ ¦ > lanother victory over vindictive feeling . When M . Roberts beat Mr .

A Public Meeting of the I'oweb-Loom W eavehs of ilANCHESTlia was held iu the Carjjenttsrs ' -liall , t > " "Wednesday evening last , to take into consideration the steps tu lit- taken to induce Mr . Morris of OldiitddJaiie to give the same price as tbe other masters in the town . Mr . Wm . Ashton was culled to the chair , who opened the nut-ting by reading the placard calling them together , and called Mr . Jolin Nuttall to move the first resolution— " That it is the opinion of this meeting that there is only oue great obstacle standing in the way of a general advance ill the Power-Loom Weaving department—viz ,, tlie opposition of Mr . Moms to the just demands of his weavers . This merting , therefore , pledges itself tu support those weavers that are out , and all who will come out until such time as Mr . Morris thinks proper to conform to the general
advanced prices . " Mr . Wm . Pixon , weaver , in a very energetic speech , seconded the resolution , which was carried unanimously . Mr . Donovan moved the next resolution , aud read from the Manchester Guardian as follows : "The sum of £ 37 17 s . 4 d ., amount of wages forfeited by the weavers . in the employ of Mr . Wm . Morris , Islington-mills , Salford , has been handed over in equal proportions to the Manchester Infirmary , and the Salford Royal Dispensary .

BRADFORD . The Wooju-Combbks . —Several of the wool-conilifrs ' employers are reducing the wages of the Ilieil in tlieil ' employ . In many instances , where a direct reduction is not made in the wages , the sorts are altered , and the operative has to comb wool one-penny or three-halfpence per pound less . A great number of power looms are standing still , and hundreds of woolcombers are on short time .
BAUKING , ESSEX . Strike of the Bjh » kino Fishebmen . —No fewer than sbtty fishing smacks , belonging to Barking , in Essex , are at this moment lying in the Hiver , a little below Woolwich , their crews having brought them home from sea , and struck work ^ As the Barking fishery has long boon one of the principal sources t > f supply to the Billingsgate Market , a few particulars respecting its present condition , and the alleged causes ol' the strlike , may not be unacceptable to our readers . The total number of smacks belonging to Harking ; though nominally sailing from the port of l . unU <> n , is about one hundred and sixty . These an- « ct bottomed vessel * , generally oi'fi-oin -fifty to sixty tons , uiid carrying each three men Ix-sides the captain , and about the * aine number of sippi-entices . Their
principal fishing grounds are oft' the Coast of Holland , auU duvin ;; tin- v . vmI se-asmi in thv North sea and about the Orkney Island "* . In ' the kiiminor and autumn it is not unusual for main of tli' -m to work out of llurwieh , I . ouestui !' , or Yanuoutli . ^ n tlu- eastern const . Tile Uilld of fish tlu'j ill * eiuplovi-il in ealeliinjf > arieP with thi st'iison and locality : jt is mostly eoil . » ok-, haddock , or plaice . A sinack '» cargo commonly contains more than one ol ' these varieties . The duration of the voyage is also subject to a corresponding variation from the same circumstaiHvs . Where se \ eral smueUs are the property of a single owner , or of two or three in the game family , they are generally worked in Heets of from fifteen to thirty sail , each smack , in its turn bringing to market the fish caught by the whole tteet . Iu this wuv a large licet
is enabled to keep up a regular and constant supply ; thus a fair average of the 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 Gravescnd , and having disbarged their cargo of fish into the batch-boats that ply between that place and the London market , they take in fresh provisions and return to sea . Thisi is called making a " Gravescnd voyage . '" It tends to keep the men longer from their homes and families ; but effects a great saving of time to the owners . Formerly these Gravesend voyages were not so common as they are at present ; and the iften generally found means t <> get home on tbe average once a month . But to meet the increased competition that the supply of fish by railway has introduced , the owners have made them more frequent , till the usual time of absence hns 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 carry provisions to his smacks , and those of the numerous small owners who arpliis dependents , and to bring their fish 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 comforts the working fishermen have long felt to be a great privation , their sit ! i > 8 uji shore being always much shorter man 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 tbe extensive proprietor abov e referred to , lent a favourable ear to their complaints , and with their concur , rence the crews of seventy vessels have struck and re turnEd borne . The other owners have , it is said , promised
Untitled Article
to take an additional hand in each vessel , to prevent any being thrown out of berth , should the men ' s demands not be acceded to . The apprentices , of wham 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 aiid shorter voyages . The present rate of w ages i . s , men fourteen shillings a week , and mates sixteen . They want ' this -to be advanoi-d two shillings in each case , and ti | r time of absence to be limited to one month . The majority of the owners seem inclined ti > grant them this , but others are averse to all concession . The general opinion , however , is , that "the o- . iners - imtst give in . " The reasons assigned -. ire , that this is the mo&t profitable part of the year , that " : ill bunds" are in the strike , and that the men of other places ; m nut suited to the particular Kind of fishery in which the- inhabitants of * Barking- are . < 'ng < i £ V ( i . One thifi 0 * IS certain , that if the strike continues lot » g the loss to large owners will be very great . ;
Meeting of Mechanics , Miit . WBicnTs , < fcc ., Oi / DBAM , — On Monday afternoon , an unusually well-attended meeting of tlie mechanics , millwrights , engine makers , moulder ^ ; an < l . smithsjof Oluhamiind the neighbourhood , ; wa ^ gbeld Ayi qie Hall of Science , 'iHQrsedgctstreet ^ for the . pu rpose of taking into consideration certain affairs connected with those Trades . Mr . Robert Robinson , from Manchester , was called to the chair . Ho remarked that it was evideut , from ivlmt had been done in Oldham and other towns , that the masters \ rere making iiu attempt to crush thn rights of industry : audit behoved the five trades who had been i . aljt- 'd together Oil this occasion to bestir themselves to put an end to the grievances they were labouring under . Their employers , in discharging the men with " quittance papers , " ivlticli pl'etented their getting employment
elsewhere , 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 mis what they chiefly COtn-I'lainod of at present ; for on any one . leaving a shop he must have a quittance paper , on which was stated the amount of wages ho had receivetl , the cause of his dis * charge , and full particulars about him ; and if the man had left on account of lowness jof wages , there was no work for him ; for these associated masters had checkbooks , giving particulars as to thfe characters of all their hands . Mr . Taylor moved a resolution , to the effect that a protective and friendly society or association of the mechanics , millwrights , engineers , moulders , and smiths , should be formed forthwith . Mr . jToole , from Manchester ,
seconded the motion . —After oneior two other addresses , Mr . John David Boyd , of Manchester , said he was of opinion that the intended association would place the peratives iu the proud poaition *'^ j were entitled to hold . A . s sooii a . S a prosperous pf > - j& bad oecarred in trade , most of their employers united together to deprive them of the only legitimate right j they yet possessed , the right to sell theit-labour in the bc-st mitvki-t . The practice r > f giving quittance papers was obnoxious in the extreme , and ; i violation of all just principle : for , pven when the master * were wanting men , the statements in rhe quittance papers would prevent many ! of them from bi'iiii ? empfoyed : and . a « long a = then ? \ v ; is- an ; > -urpIus of hands . tin- hands ulii > ! i , ui t | itit'auee p ; ipjr- ^ i " nu « r go to the vta " l . 1 In- < -on . > i-i | iiene . -- . uf Mn-h I ' i'iidiii'tj , if not n ' ¦ ist .-d . wo . ild hi- ruinous in tin- opi r . ttii f . : nndilir hclii-v .

THK POLISH KKVOU'TION . Lomio . n . —The anniversary of tlifs memorable event Wiis celebrated by a public meeting at the Crown and Anclmr , Strand , on Friday evening last , November 20 th . Dr . RowTing , M . P ., was unanimously called tu the . chair , and opened the proceedings in ; * neat speech , which was warmly applauded . Mr . I ' airy read letters . from several members of Parliament who could not . attend , but who universally expressed their sympathy with the object of the meeting . It was intimated that the letters read were a selection
only «> f those- received . This called forth cries for " honest Duncombe ; " " where '* L'uncombe ' sletter ?" etc ., ke . Mr . Parry assured the meeting that the letter was merely one of apology for non-attendance , and that it was unnecessary to read it . This , however , did not satisfy the meeting , and the letter had to be produced amidst cheers for Duneoinbe . Monsieur Worsoon then read the annual address from the Polish Emigrants , which was received with great applause . [ We have not received a copy of the address . ] Mr . Lovett moved the first resolution as follows : —
Resolved-: — "That having heard the unanimous resolutions of the Polish Refugees in London , passed on the . ¦ > th of June last , on occasion of the visit of the T . \ rant Nicholas , this meeting , assembled for the purpose of couiinemorating the last Polish revolution of 1830 , cauno * 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 their inflexible determination—and asserthis the claims of Polish iivleptndence to every bound-. ary violated by any of the partition . ' - of which Poland has been tlK ' . v ' ctiiu—protesting against all invasions uf the rights « ud liberties of Poles by foreign courts and cabinets , $ and claiming for the Eotisli people the sovereiprnty of 1 ' oliiinl , .-Mid . the e . nsiiu-ipation of the Polish soil . "
Mr . I . ixtos seconded the resolution , which was earned unanuauusly . Mi-. iVuiitv moved tlie .-econd resolution : — III foivi-d : — ' ¦ That the pt . 'i ^ everanee of the Polish « nitr- ' nu ? - ! in advocating tho pause of their country—their ••¦ u > u ; . l ' ;¦] , -brution of thi- ilay in which Roland made an effort to ! -ct , ' ; iin her iiuU-pendence—the contempt with uhicb . they .-purn £ - < l every amni-sty ottered to them—and above all , the spirit internally working- upon the Polish million ? , breaking nearly ftv < -i-y year through the crust of Russian institutions , and provoking those atrocious persecutions ju .-aiu . st the language , religion , enlightenment , and liberty of the Polish people—are so many solemn and «
perpetual testimo-nies of the vitality of Pgland , and therefore of their right to be considered and treated as a nation bj- the nations of Europe , who ; : re bound to regard the wongs inflicted on her , as infractions of their common rights to frejdorn , independence , and sejf-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 brav&— ;< , looks to the triumph of Poland in Jjer future struggle ^ for independence , as necessity to the security and happiness /; - of Europe , and hence as entitled to find as many z <^ jQa » v * allies as there are na tions filled with the " fcair V ^^ IL tyranny . " . ' . . ¦?" £
, Mr . H . Vjnce . vt seconded the resolution , wh ^ eh Fas unanimously adopted . " .. •'"' Mr . P . . TATtoR moved the third resolution , which was simply an appeal to the Liberal press to public the foregoing resolutions . M . Zaba fa Pole ) then addressed the meeting , in an animated speech , which eh ' cited general cheering . He observed , that upon that day the Poles in every country in Europe , who were not enslaved , had met
1 ; { ¦ ' together to express their ardent devotion to their native country , and'to renew their vows to employ all their endeavours for its regeneration . Thesfe sentiments were participated in by the unfortunate exiles who were groaning in the mines of Siberia ; and upon that « ay iheiit heartfelt * ' prayers were offered up to heaven for the deliverance oi their native land . This unity of spirit would heget a unity of action , and the day was not far distant when Poland would be free . ( Cheers . ) , Thanks tvere-then voted to the Chairman , and the meeting separ&ed . ,. ;
