FINING FOR THE TRUCK SYSTEM.-At the petty sessions, on Thursday last, Mr. William Crossley, iron founder and master millwrighit, of Oldham and Royton, was charged with having paid the wages of James Crossley, one of his late workmen, in goods instead of money. Messrs. Halsall and Ascroft, solicitors, were engaged in the case, the former for the complainant, and the latter for the defendant. A receipt in the complainant's hand- writing was produced, in which he acknowledged a payment of £3 0s. 10 1/2d. in goods received as wages. It appeared that Crossley's shop was at Royton, and that the complainant lived in Oldham, and worked at defendant's foundry in Oldham, and was obliged to go to Royton for provisions. The defendant was convicted in a penalty of £5 and costs. One-half of the fine goes to the informer, the other half to the county.'[6]
