Elizabeth Price.-My husband, Joseph Price, is the agent at the Bromfield Colliery. At half-past three in the morning of the 6th of July, I was disturbed by a house full of men cursing and swearing they said they would have the Anglesey men out of my house. Tbey cried out to my husband, Come out you old devil." The prisoners, Wynne and Holley, were with the mob, near Mr. Dodd's gate. I heard Wynne say that if he went after my husband, they would know him. Holley was also with the crowd. The people pushed my husband and shouted all the way to the bottom of the town of Mold. I cried, and begged them to let my husband alone, and they did let him go. Joseph Price.-I am agent to the Bromfield colliery. I remember on the morning of the 6th of July seeing a number of men in my house; they told me that they had come to take the Anglesey men away; they cursed me, and said I should go too they shoved me along the road to Mr. Dodd's. I was going towards the house, when they ran after and caught me. They kept a ring round me all the way back to Mold. The mob, when they let me go in the town, told me that they should visit Mold again in a month, and if I did not behave well, I must look out. I told them they had a good distance to send me home, for I was an Irishman. They said, then you must go back to Ireland. Isaac Davies.-I saw the mob going towards Price's house- Holley was amongst the crowd. Richard Simon.-On the morning of the 6th of July Holley came to my house, and asked me to come out, and speak to the colliers who belonged to the Union.-I refused to go at that time, and he came again and asked me to go.-My father locked the house-door, to prevent me from going out,-the mob then came up, and when I went upstairs, they rattled at the door and one got up to the window. I had worked at the Bromfield Colliery up to this time; and they warned me not to strip to go to other men's work. I and Edward Williams escaped through the back door. I was alarmed because they were so savage, and shouting that they would have us out. Cross-examined.-I will swear that Holley did not ask me to come out and speak to the strange men to prevent them from making a noise. Simon Jones.-I was working on the 6th of July at the Bromfield Colliery.-On going to my work that morning at four o'clock I heard a great noise, and turned back-seven or eight men followed me and another man, and forced us to turn back with them to the Colliery.-The mob obliged me to go with the Anglesey men through Mold-the crowd was peaceful enough -they pushed us before them, and shouted after us; they also drove us through Northop and Flint huzzaing and in the last town, they gave us meat and drink at the public-house. The mob told us at Flint, if we would tumour jackets inside out and wear
