An Echo of the Denaby Strike

At the Doncaster West Riding Court, on Saturday, Enoch Townend, collier, Swinton, Edward Blount, collier, Swinton, Joseph Leaming, Bolton-on-Dearne, Thomas Gordon, and John Monaghan, Castleford, were each summoned for non-payment of orders for damages awarded to the Denaby and Cadeby Main Collieries in connection with the late strike.

Mr. Gichard appeared for the company.

The amounts in each case were £5 7s. 6d., except in Blount’s case, where it was £5 7s. 6d. Townend had been earning £1 3s. per week, Blount £1 16s. 2d., Leaming £2 3s. 4d., Gordon £1 15s. 7d., and Monaghan £2 6s. 3d., and nothing had been paid on account.

The company were willing to take the money by instalments, and orders for one month to prison were made in each case, not to be enforced provided the instalments were paid.
