Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the criminal letters at the instance of Her Majesty's Advocate against Thomas Hunter, Peter Hacket, Richard M'Neil, James Gibb, and William M'Lean, all of whom were members of an illegal association of cotton spinners in Glasgow during 1836-37. It begins with an overview of the association's formation and objectives, including its secret oath and illegal activities such as striking work, intimidation, and violence against non-striking workers. The book then focuses on a specific incident - the murder of James Smith, an operative cotton spinner who was shot and killed on the evening of 15th June 1837. It provides a detailed account of the investigation into the murder, including the arrest and trial of the accused, the evidence presented against them, and the verdict reached by the jury. Through this case study, the book explores the social and economic context of organised labour in 19th century Scotland, and the challenges faced by authorities in maintaining law and order during a period of industrial unrest.
