ABSTRACT
These outrages which, iu one instance, has terminated in the murder of a woman wholly unconnected with the events which are supposed to have provoked it, and in each might have perpetrated the same crime had there happened to have been anyone by when the explosions which destroyed the forges, &c., took place, cast the foulest stains that can be placed on the character of workmen in general, and members of trade societies in particular. Not that they ought to do so, for they are not the acts of Trades’ Unions generally, but of some only of those confined to one district; but the public is ever prone to condemn the whole for the acts of a few.
