SHROPSHIRE. 



The tumults among the colliers in this 

 county, have led to fatal consequences. On 

 Saturday, it was first announced that, on 

 account of the reduction in the value of 

 iron, and the stagnation of trade, it was 

 necessary that the wages of the men should 

 be reduced 6d. per day. Discoutent imme- 

 diately manifested itself ; and «n the follow- 

 ing days a large body of men marciied to 

 Madeley-wood, Dawley, «fec. stopiwd all the 

 works, injured, and destroyed the machinery, 

 and compelled the workmen to join the ranks 

 of the turbulent. On Friday, the 9th, it 

 became absolutely necessary to call out the 

 troops of Wellington yeomanry cavalry, 

 under the command of Lieut.-Col. Cludde, in 

 aid of the civil power, and who proceeded to 

 disperse a body of about 3,000 rioters, as- 

 sembled near the Old Park iron works, three 

 miles from Wellington. The riot act having 

 been read, and an hour elapsed, the mob, 

 though earnestly entreated by the magis^ 

 trates to retarn peaceal)ly to their homes, 

 rejected the advice. Some of the ring- 

 leaders were consequently taken into custody; 

 but when the constables and military were 

 conducting their prisoners towards the town, 

 a general attack with stoiu's and cinders was 

 made by the colliers from the summits of two 

 cinder hills, situate on each side of the road. 

 The abrupt ascent of the hills rendered a 

 charge impracticable, so that the cavalry 

 were obliged to use their fire arms: one 

 man was killed on the spot, many were 

 wounded, some dangerously, two of whom 

 are since dead. The cavalry, however, snc^ 

 ceeded in securing six of the eight prisoners, 

 who are lodged in our gaol, viz. Samuel 

 Hay ward, Christopher North, John Grainger, 

 Joseph Eccleshall, John Payne, and Robert 

 Wheeler. In dispersing the mob, several of- 

 the cavalry were severely hurl by stones and 

 cinders; and Mr. Spencer, of Trench-lane, 

 was accidently wounded in the knee by his 

 pistol going off in the holster. Ou the 

 morning after this skirmish, the rioters 

 assembled on the same ground, provided 

 with ammunition stolen from the works, 

 with about iSO small arms and three piece* 

 of cannon, the whole drawn up in regular 

 array, hav-ng a centre body, and right an4 

 left wings, with close and even front. In 

 this position they waited till twelve o'clock, 

 when their patience began to be wearied^ 

 and they gradually dispersed.
