WITH EIGHT ILLUSTRATIONS. BY Deacon ROBT. D. M'EWAN. Re-issue of Secoml Edition with an Appendix by Gborue Neilson, LL.D., F.S.A. (Scot.); Report of Proceedings at Meeting of 3rd September, 1915, when Honorary Membership of the Incorporation was conferred on the Right Honoui’ahle The E.ARL of Ro.SEBERY, K.G., K.T., etc. ; Lecture delivered by Ex-Deacon M'Ewan to the Textile Society, Technical College, Glasgow ; and also Revision of Membership Roll to date. GLASGOW ; CARSON & NICOL, LIMITED, 12 & 14 BATH STREET. MCMXVI. FOREWORD. The present Deacon has shown the great interest he takes in the affairs of the Incorporation, not only by the attention he has given to the ordinary work of his office, but by his researches among the old records of the craft. As the handwriting of these I’ecords is in the characters to be found in ancient Scottish documents, and now difficult to decipher, their contents were necessarily available to very few, and to these only after much labour. With the aid of an expert in such writings the Deacon had a number of the old documents transcribed, and on the results being shown to the Master Court it was resolved that it was in the interests of the Incorporation that the transcriptions should be printed in book form. The Deacon kindly consented to see the proposed volume through the press, cla.ssifying the transcriptions and writing explanatory and connecting notes, but without attempting to produce a formal history of the Incorporation. In placing the result before the Incorporation, the Master Court trust that this glimpse of its past history will stimulate an interest in its present affairs, and that the members of to-day will emulate their predecessors in doing what they can to promote the continued prosperity of this old Incorporation. In Name and by Authority of the Master Court. C. J. MACLEAN, Clerk. 115 St. Vincent Street, Glasgow, 1st September, 1905. Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2018 with funding from Getty Research Institute https://archive.org/details/oldglasgowweaverOOinco PREFACE. The matter available has not been such as to make a continuous record possible. For facility of reference it has been thought advisable to classify the extracts, necessarily somewhat arbitrarily, in Chapters, and to dispense with a detailed Index. With few exceptions the extracts have, in each chapter, been arranged chronologically. The Minute and other Books now awanting were first missed in 1849, as is shown in an acknowledgment then granted by a new clei'k for other books. It may add to the reader’s interest to have the following Chronological Table for reference:— 1488—Janies IV., King of Scotland. 1513—Flodden. Janies V. succeeds to the throne. 1542—Queen Mary. 1550-60 —Reformation. 1567—Janies VI. 1603—James succeeds to English throne. 1611—Glasgow made a Royal Burgh. 1625—Charles I. 1649—Commonwealth in England. 1651—Charles II. crowned in Scotland. Scotland United to English Commonwealth by Cromwell. 1660—Charles II. restored and Episcopacy revived. 1685—James II. and VII. 1689—William of Orange. Re-establishment of Presbyterianism. 1702—Queen Anne. 1707—Legislative Union of England and Scotland. 1714— George I. 1715— First Newspaper published in Glasgow. First Jacobite rising. 1727—George II. 1745— Second Jacobite rising. 1746— Culloden. 1760—George III. 1820—George IV. 1830—William IV. 1837—Queen Victoria. The writer desires to acknowledge much kindly help received, especially from the Clerk, Mr. C. J. MacLean; and from Mr. Robert Renwick, Depute Town Clerk of the City. VI PREFACE. There were many documents and articles available for illustration, of which comparatively few members were able to examine the originals. Such of them have been chosen for reproduction as are most likely to be interesting to the wider circle which this book is intended to reach. If any apology is needed for including the plate of the present members of the Master Court, it has been done entirely on the writer’s responsibility, believing that had portraits been available of those who were in a similar position fifty or a hundred years back it would now have been of surpassing interest, and that, should this volume survive, our sons and grandsons will have a similar interest. Every effort has been made to avoid errors; it is, however, hardly possible but that some have been made and that others have escaped the eye of one who is not only an amateur, but a novice, at such work. ROBERT D. M‘EWAN. 22 Montrose Street, Glasgow, 1st Sept., 1905. NOTE TO SECOND EDITION. The want of an Inventory detailing all the very interesting hooks and papers found to he in the po.ssession of the Incorporation in the course of preparing this hook was felt hy many memhers to he a serious omission. The writer had not sufficient antiquarian knowledge to prepare this list, hut Dr. George Neilson, F.S.A., etc., has been good enough to give the Incorjjoration the henetit of his great experience, and there is now included in Appendix VI. a complete Inventory. At the same time it has heen thought advisable to include a copy of the last revision of the Continuous Roll, having in view that entries there might disclose to present members that the immediate forebears of men now living had been members, and the Master Court invite the help of present members to bring such within the membership of the Incorporation.

I. ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY. The records of the Incorporation have had a varied fate, some of the earliest having survived while the history of the middle age of the craft is a complete blank. All records for sixty to seventy years in the middle of the eighteenth century have disappeared, and from 1683 till 1793 there are no minute books extant. It has always been believed that the Incorporation owes its existence to a “ Gift or Seal of Cause by the Magistrates and Town Council of Glasgow, with concurrence of the Archbishop, dated 4th June, 1528.” Mr. Crawfurd so states in “A Sketch of the Trades’ House of Glasgow,” published in 1856, and in a small pamphlet published by this Incorpora¬ tion in 1888, the preamble of the Act of Parliament passed in 1681 (given on a later page), is quoted as the actual wording of the Seal of Cause granted by the Magistrates of Glasgow, on 4th June, 1528. No copy of that document has been preserved. A small minute book, commencing in 1591 and concluding in 1611, and a larger minute book, dated from 1611 till 1683, have A 0 ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY. been preserved. In this latter, on 8th February, 1658, the following appears:— ^ ... Octavo Februanj 1658. The haill old actis extractit out of the huikis for the yeir 1514, and sen syne, war red and allowit and approvine and farder it is statut and ordanit, with consent of the haill hodie of the calling, that rpihat prenteis sail fie himself heirefter to serve his maister on his awin meit, sail have no benefeit of the calling thairefter, and the maister to pay in to the calling twentie pnndis Scottis; as also that ilk brother quhais staikis sail be fund wrang, sail pay in to the craft twa markis ane half, extending to xxxij s. iiij d. for ilk fault. The page of minute book from which above is extracted is given as Plate I. There is every reason to regard the date as genuine, because were it supposed to be a blunder for 1614, the same book has within itself the records for 1614 and would not be referred to as ‘old actis extractit out of the buikis.” The Incorporation has therefore had an existence of nearly four hundred years. The Provost and Magistrates granted a Seal of Cause on 16th February, 1605, which document exists in a good state of preservation and is reproduced as Plate II. The wording of it is as follows:— Seal of Cause by the Provost, Bailies, and community of Glasgow to tlie Incorporation of Weavers, dated 16 February, 1605.

It will be observed that here the seed is sown of the charitable work of the Incorporation, which then was only an incident, but now has become the principal reason of its existence. The earlier deed of 1528, made in time of James V., shows that the country was then under Roman Catholicism, while the later, made in James VI.’s reign, ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY. 5 shows that a better use could be made of the funds of the craft than consumino- them in wax candles. The minute of meetiim on 30th March, 1605, shows how the cost of obtaining the letters of Deaconhood was liquidated :— Die -xxx Marcij 1605. The quhilk clay, the haill bretherene of craft concliscendis that every ane of the fremen of the craft pay thair awin pairtis of the xl. mark borrowit fra William Woderspoone in obteinyng of tliair lettir of deakinheid, and that betuix and Witsonnday nixt. In 1681 a further Charter was granted by the Archbishop of Glasgow, and ratitied by Act of Parliament on 17th September, 1681 :— Charter by Arthur, Archbisliop of Glasgow, in favor of the Incorporation of Weavers, Glasgow, dated 19 July 1681.

(Signed) THO : MURRAY, Clk. Reg. Eating and drinking had long been a weakness of the “Maisteris of the Craft,” as we find that a condition which does not appear in tlie document of 1605 has been imposed, and they are now to save the needless expense “ for the good of the Poor of the Trade.” There is in the 1681 deed a stronger note of exclusiveness than in the earlier time, when the anxiety seems to have been rather to secure good workmanship by having only well-trained apprentices and careful journeymen. The minute of 1st October, 1681, shows that the Incorporation was then in funds to meet the outlay in procuring the Archbishop’s Charter and the Parliament’s ratification:— 1 of October 1681. The whilk day, the deacone, maisteris, and remanent bretherin of the calling being convenit in the craftes hospitall all in ane voyce bothe now and of befor, allowes and approves what the tred hes deburst and barrowit for the new chartour ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY. 11 grantit be tlie archbisliop, and the parliamentis ratificatioune theirof, and of the old gift in the callingis favouris; all put in the box. R. FYNNISONE. The records of the years following are lost, but in the concluding chapter the history of the last hundred years or so is briefly dealt with. 11 . CONSTITUTION. From the earliest records the head of the Incorporation has always been known as the Deacon, and there have been associated with him a varying number of Masters whose mode of election or selection has varied from time to time. There has been a clerk from very early times—though not from the origin—as there occur intermittently casual references to the necessity for a clerk. Clearly the office of collector was not created until many years from the foundation of the Incorporation, and the records as regards this office read as if the appointment also had been intermittent. Below is given the earliest minute and roll of members which has been preserved. The outside of this book is marked as follows:— JOHNE ESTERLING No. 1.

The quliilk daye, be voittis prevaileand Johnne Glen is electit dekin of the wobsteris for ane yeir nixttocum. The dekin with consent of the craft lies continewit maisteris of the craft as of before. And electit Johnne Wilsoun officiar The above show that Deacon Glen occupied his position for at least two years, and the following minute shows that thus early we find record of the present custom that each deacon should bear office only for one year. There is also reference to the services of a clerk at the annual election meeting, as also to the service as officer of the craft. Apparently the position of officer was not considered a desirable 14 CONSTITUTION. one, and this feeling was utilised to obtain funds for the benefit of the poor of the craft:— Decimo tertio Maij 1598. Quhilk daye, Barbie Muir, Robert Steuart, Finlay Allansone, Thomas Bryce, Thomas Gemmill, George Herbertsone, and George Clidisdale wnderstanding that gif thai salbe alyve successive eftir wtheris tliai ar bund to serve yeirlie ilk ane of thanie to be officiar to the craft for the space of ane yeir, and quhilkis wilbe ane burdein upone bhame; and thai all desyrit earnestlie to be fred of the service, and submitted thame in the will of the maisteris of craft quhat the said maisteris wold ordour thame and ilk ane of thame to pay for tliair fredome of the officiar servitor. The said maisteris remoivit, and advysit maturelie upone the said sevin bretheris submissioun in maner as said is, frethis the said sevin brether of craft of thair serving in the officiarschip, and for that cause decernis ilk ane of the said brether of craft to paye to the dekin xiij s. iiij d. betuix and the sevint daye of July nixtocum. And ferder statutis gif ony brother of craft sail desyre fredome of the serving in the officiarschip of thair craft, the saining brother, and everie brother of craft desyring fredome as said is, sail paye for his fredome as said is, xx s., unforgeven. The dire penalties of canvassing for support of a candidature for the deaconship are thus set forth; the phraseology is particularly quaint:— (13-2-1595) Item it is statut and ordaiiit for avoiding of all superioritie and tyrannie in thair craft in all tymes to cum that he that sail happin to be dekin in thair craft be na langer continewit dekin in the said craft bob onlie for ane yeir, bob that he be chaugit, and sum wther brother of thair craft be electit and chosen to beir office as dekin in thair said craft. Item the dekin and maisteris of the craft lies statut and ordanit, as be thir presen tis statutis and ordains, that in all tymes comming the electioun of the dekin pas be woittis of the brethrene, burgessis, and fremen in thair craft, and that the electioun of thair dekin in tymes comming na woittis of wther dekinis in the said citie be requirit, bob the woittis of all wther dekinis in chesing dekin in the said craft be simpliciters dischargit; and in the chesing of the dekin at the Michalmes, yeirlie, thair be ane clerk present to tak up the woittis of the brethrene for election of the said dekin; and quhasoevir of the brethrene sail labour to contravein this ordinance, salbe deput mainsworne to the craft, and pay to the box of the craft foure lib. and xvj s. to the baillies, unforgevin. Item it is statut and ordanit that na burges nor freinan sone in the said craft serve officiar in the said craft sa lang as thair salbe ane outtintownisman quha hes cntcrib burges and freman in tlie said craft have first servit as officiar in the said craft. CONSTITUTION. 15 Duodecimo die mensis Februarij 1603. Quhilk daye, the dekin, maisteris, and haill craft convenit in thair quarter court, hes statut and ordenit, as be tliir presentis statutis and ordeins, for quietnes of thair craft in all tymes to com, that (luhatsuniever brother of craft sail solist be himself or ony wtheris in his name, ony of the brethrene of thair craft for thair woittis to mak him dekin of the craft, the saming persone or persones first nouen and imediat persone or brother mowit he thame to wott f s said is sail never he ane of the maisteris of the craft thaireftir, bot salhe decernit to paye to the dekin of craft for the tyme ane new upset for the weale of the craft, and sail mak his publict repentatioun on the pillar in the kirk as ane persoune seditious and mowear of truble to the greit hurt and hinder of the craft. It is necessary again, sixteen years later than the minute first quoted, to enact that the deacon shall only stand for one year:— Secundo Novembris anno 1611. The quhilk day, the deikin and haill craft, be pluralitie of woitis, hes ordainit the act beirand that the deikin sail onlie stand for ane yeir. Sail stand inviolabill in all tyme cuming. The following is the earliest minute bearing on the method of electing maisteris, or “ quartermaisteris ” as they are here called; there is an indication that it was found undesirable to allow the deacon to exercise exclusive control of the affairs of the craft, and through the later years there is a continued desire to limit his power:— Act anent quaktermaesteris Tertio Novemb. 161.3. The quhilk day, the deikin, maisteris, and haill craft, all in ane voice, upone consideratioun of the greit abuis hes oft fallin out in electioun of the maisteris, throw the deikinis chuising of the haill, have, thairfoir, concludit, statut and ordainit, for eleiding of the former abuis, that thrie of the four upone lyt to be deikin, with the auld deikin, sail stand still maisteris for that yeir, and the deikin to chois tua, and the craft uther tua, quhilk compleitis audit. The following gives an indication that the funds of the Incorpora¬ tion have not always been used exclusively for the relief of the poorer members of the craft. The reference is a little mystical, but no doubt the “ heidwasching ” was not effected without considerable internal washings of strong waters:— Septimo August 1616. The quhilk day, the haill craft present, all in ane voice hes statut, concludit, and ordainit, that in all tyme cuming the new deikinis to be chosin, that hes nevir 16 CONSTITUTION. borne that office, sail pay furt of his awin purs for his heiihvasching, and the cornnioun guidis to be disburdeinit thairof. Apparently there had been frequent re-election of same deacon for a succeeding year, and then the Incoi’poration repents its action and re-enacts as follows:— xxii Septembris 1618. The same [day], it is statut and ordainit that nain be deikin hot for ane yeir, and qnhaevir contraveinis, sail pay fourtie pundis to the deiken conveiner. There are continual indications of difficulty in getting a craftsman to discharge the duties of officer. Evidently these were unpaid labours, and the burden fell on the latest comer:— Decimo tertio Novembris 1624. The quhilk day, it is statut and ordainit be the deikin, maisteris, and haill craft present, that all friemen that enteris frie with the craft heireftir, sail ather serve as officer to the craft, or ellis sail furneis ane officer to serve for thaine, and sail nowayis be redeiniit thairfra for money, with this conditioun, that friemenis sones enterand frie, sail nawayes serve sua lang as thair is anie stranger to serve befoir thame, and quhen thair is na stranger frieman to serve, then sail frienians sones serve as officer, or ellis furneis ane officer, ilk mann his awin plaice as he enteris, utherwayes sail nevir have the benefeit of ane frieman that servis not ains as officer. The 3 day of November 1627. The quhilk day, the deacoune and haill craft, lies statut and ordainit in all tymes cumming, that the last incomer of the craft .sal be officer, and na wtheris sail serve for thame hot thamesellves, freemen sounes being excepit. Mr G. STIRLING. The following is the earliest reference to the office of collector:— The 6. day of August 1628. The [quhilk] day, the haill craft being convenit for taking ordour with the commoune guidis. It is statut and ordanit, be pluralitie of votis, that in all tjune cuming, thair sail be ane of the craft chosing, be the vot. of craft, for keeping of thair commun guidis fra yeir to yeir, ' •>• ■ • ■,rvr: CONSTITUTION. 17 minute indicates an excess of interest and stir at the election time, 1642 the reverse:— Sexto Novembris 1640. The quliilk day, the deacon and inaisteris of eroft, heinq conveiiit with the haill bretlirein, at tlie lei«t, the niaist pairt thairof, understanding tlie great abuse, contest and stryfe tliat lies bein in thair calling at the eleetioun of the deacon and utheris courtis; thairfoir, that the sainen may be aniendit, and peace intertanet, it is aggried and concludit amangst them, in all in ane voice, that na persoune, not payit of thair qwarter comptis, nor keipeis thairof, sail have ony voitt or voce the day of the eleetioun ; and that na unfriemen sail compeir in court that day, nather servantis nor prenteissis, and that all the croft be silent, and evrie ane byde thir presents, and voitt as they ar callit. 21 September 1642. The whilk day, the haill bodie of the craft being all present, some few exceptit, Avho war absent for certane guid caussis moving them, and speciallie becaus it is knawin to them that siindrie of the bretherine absentis themselfs the day of the eleetioun of the dekine, having lytle or na regaird of the guid of the calling; and thairfoir it is concludit, statut and ordanit, that if any of the bretherine of the calling, heireftir, beis absent the day of the eleetioun of the dekine, the yeirs heireftir, sail pay in to the box sextein schillingis, wnforgevin, to be gevin to the use of the poore ; and they to be presentlie poyndit thairfoir if it be fund that they be in the toune and in healthe of bodie. Here we have the first record of a collector actually being appointed :— 7 November 1645. The said day, be pluralitie of voitis, Patrik Bryce is electit collectour to the craft, and he is to intromet and debars all concerns the craft ; and the dekin is to intromet with nothing; and the collectour is to be comptable to the craft. Apparently the finst collector had proved Itimself acceptable to the craft, for he is in 1650 appointed as a great exception to a second term of service as deacon :— 20 September, 1650. The said day, the haill inaisteris of craft and bretherine of the calling quhairof the most pairt war present all in ane voyce continwit Patrik Bryce dekine for the yeir to cum, quha being present, did (altho agans his will) acce|)t the said office in and wpon him and gave his aithe; and becaus of the trubles of the tyme, and maney wther guid and weghtie caussis knowin to the craft, they have continwit the said dekine in his charge all in ane voyce without lytting of him conforme to the commoun ordour of the craft. It is thairfoir statut and ordanit be the haill calling, that this forme sail mak no pratique, and that non sail be permitit to beir office as C 18 CONSTITUTION. dekine lieireftir Lot suclie as sail be lyttit, confornie to the ordour of the calling, and that non heir office as dekine hot for the space of ane yeir allanerlie, and no langir lieireftir, conforme to the former aetis sett doun thairanent. The officer does not appear to have had any remuneration in cash, but the tear and wear of his duties was provided for as follows:— 21 August 1654. The same day, it is inactit and ordinat that the officer sail have ane pair of schoone only the yeir which he serves, or then fourtie schilling thairfoir. Apparently line upon line and precept upon precept were necessary to keep the power of the deacon within reasonable bounds, as repeated entries, such as the two following, indicate a constant seeking for continuance of power on his part :•— The third day of November 1662 yeris. The quhilk day, the said deacone, and the maist pairt of the craft being conveinet, finding and tacking to consideratioune some prejudice susteinet he thame throw suffering of deacones formerlie to remayne and continwing in office moir then one j'eir togither, and that the same be no preparative in tyme cuming eftir this yeir, they all in ane voice inact, statute, and ordaine, that none of the said craft sail remayne and coutinew deacone in all tyme heirefter more then one yeir together, and that wnder the paine of thrie scoir pundis Scottis money, to he payit be the persoune quho sail happin to he continwit or chosin one yeir after another deacone as said is, to the box for the us of thair poore, by and attour that he sail be turnit out of his office for that yeir quhairin he sail happin to be continwit and fund incapable thairof; and this act to remayne and continow unalterable in all tyme cuming as aforesaid. M. ROWAND, Clerk. At the craftis hospitall, the aught of February, 1667.

M. KOWAND. The following entries show an increasing desire for regularity both in the conduct of the money and the business matters of the Incorporation, and here we have the first indication of a permanent clerk being appointed:— At the craftis hospitall, Septimo Novemheris 1670. The quhilk day, it is inactit, statut .and ordained, that the haill calling heir the collectouris com 2 )t yearlie in tyme comeing after the paying of the quarter comptis ellectioune of the new collectour and maisteris of tread. The same day, he pluralitie of votis, it is concludit, inactit, statut and ordained that Patrick Clark, ])resent dark to the saiil tread, continow and remaine dark therto, not only for this present year, hot ad vilam aid culpani, quhilk fault being instructit, he to he votic; and this to remaine unalterable in tyme comeing. PATRICK CLARK, dericus. Again there has arisen need for regulating the money matters of the Incorporation, as the following minute shows:— At the craftis hospitall the elevinth day of October 1672, convined John Patersone, present deacone with the maisters and tread the deacon conviner for the tyme and — The same day, in farder corroboratioune of ane former act made anent the collectouris intromissioune with the haill treads geir to witt in uplifting and receaving the same and debursing thairof; it is againe statut and ordained that in all tyme comeing the collectour of the said tread present and to come intromett with and receave the haill comoune guids and causwallities belonging to the calling and to deburs the samyne accordinlie as he sail he ordred ; as also that the collectour nor deacone distrihuit to no poore in the calling for supplie above aughtiue shilling Scotis and that the samyne sail he at sight and he the consent of soome of the maisteris; as also that ther he non of the treads geir spent at any tyme comeing in meiting hot out of ther awne proper money except at ane extraordinar caice with certilicatioune the samyne sail not he allowit and the contraviner to he punished farder at the optioune of the deacon conviner. PATRICK CLARK. ■20 CONSTITUTION. The accounts for this period are in a fairly good state of preserva¬ tion, and, considering the degree of education then attained among tradesmen, they are exceedingly well kept. The minute books, of course, were the work of a professional man, and while his spelling as reproduced is, to our ideas, extraordinary, his phraseology is clear and pointed and the caligraphy in most cases very perfect; otherwise it would not have been possible to transcribe the records as has been done for the present volume. The following entry fixes the remuneration of the clerk, and, bj’ comparison with the freedom fines and other money items quoted, the sum paid was not an extravagant one. The same minute shows that the deacon personally benefitted by entering of journeymen on the roll. Possibly that made the office sought after:— Octavo Novembris 1672. The same day, be pluralitie of votis, it is statut and ordained that tlie dark of tlie weaveris sail have twelfe punds Scotis of yearlie hall in all tyme comeing beginand at the dait of thir presentis; as also it [is] heirby statut and ordained that all servantis for farder instructioune or jurnaymen being strangeris sail pay ten shilling Scotis to the deacone at ther booking in all tyme comeing by and attour the fourtie shilling to the tread and the dark and officeris dewis; and this to remaine unalterable. PATRICK CLARK. There appear to have been two sets of records at this time, as the repetition of above entry in other wording shows;— At Glasgow the aught day of November j™ jv'^ and seavintie twa yearis. The quhilk day, John Patersone, present deacone of the weaveris of the said burgh, his maisteris and most pairt of the calling being convined, it is statut and ordained that the clarkis tiall sail be twelfe punds Scots in all tyme comeing yearlie, and that in regaird his paines is muche greater then formerlie. (Sigd.) PATRICK CLARK. Apparently it was thought desirable that in a contest for the CONSTITUTION. 21 deaconship the unsuccessful rival should be made sure of being one of his competitor’s counsellors:— At Glasgow the seavint of November 1673. Convined the fornamit deacone conviner, Robert Flaikfeild, deacone witli his remanent maisteris and breathrine of craft wha for tlie most pairt war present. The same day, it is statut and inacted be cominoune consent, that he who is nixt to the deacone in the numer of votts at tlie deacones ellectione sail be ane of the deacones sex maisteris for the inshewing year without any votte of tread. (Signed) PATRICK CLARK. The following shows that it was recognised that the officer’s o post involved loss to the holder:— At Glasgow the first of Maij 1674. The same day, .John Flaikfeild younger, weaver, is discharged and fred be the deacone and his maisteris fra serving as officer to the calling in respect of his povertie and inabeillatie to serve in the said office. III. APPKENTICESHIP AND EKEEMANSHIP. Five years seems generally to have been recognised as the period necessary to tit an apprentice for the position of journeyman, but frequently two years were added, during which he was paid in “ meat and fee.” There are several indentures preserved, but one will serve to indicate the obligations undertaken. This is drawn by the then Town Clerk of Glasgow, who at the same time was clerk to the Incorporation of Weavers:— Indenture of Johne Bryssoune as prenteis to David Arnot, dated 27 July 1658. At Glasgow the twent seavin day of Julij j™ vi‘= fyftie eight yeiris. It is apoyntit iiideiitit and agried betwixt the persouns pairteis fallowing they ar to say David Arnot, Weiver biirges of the said burghe on the ane pairt Johne Bryssouue sone lawfull to umquhill Johne Bryssoune, Weiver burges thairof with expres advyce and consent of Hew Cowane, Weiver, burges of the saniyn his father-indaw and Cristine Wyllie his mother on the uther pairt in inaner forme and effect fallowing, that is to say forswameikle as the .said Johne Bryssoune is heirby became bundin prenteis with consent foirsaid to the said David Arnot in his said arte and craft of weiver trade and that dureing all the dayis space yeiris and tyme of fyve yeiris as prenteis and twa yeiris thairefter for meit and fie as they cane best agrie furth and fra his entrie tliairto qiihilk sail be and begane at the dait of thir presentis dureing the quhilk space the said Hew Cowane binds and obleissis him to move and caus the said Johne Bryssoune prenteis foirsaid to serve his said maister faithfullie lionestlie leillalie and trewlie and not to divert himself out his said maisteris service at na dayis nor tyme without leicance askit and given and for ilk day he absentis himself out of his said maisteris service without leive askit and given as said is (health of bodie servand as God grant) the said Johne Bryssoune bindis and obleisses him to content and pay to the said David his said maister tlirie schillings four penneis for ilk day absence and the saids absent dayis to be provin be the said David his aitli of veritie allenerlie. Attour the said David Arnot binds and obleisses him to teach learne and instruct the said Johne Bryssoune his said prenteis in his said arte and trade of weiver craft and sail not hyd nor conceall no poynt nor ingyne thairof fra him knowin to himself, bot sail use his best and wttermost meins to mack him ane perfyt craftisniaiie thairintill and sail furneis him in meit drink and bedding in houshold with himself dureing his said APPRENTICESHIP AND FREEMANSHIP. 23 prentischipe honestlie effeirand to liis rank and degrie and sail give him all sort of abulyrament iiecesser as becumes dureing the said tyine of prentiscdiipe for the better enableing him to goe about his service.

D. INDGILCRIST, Witnes. ROT. ALLANE, Witnes. The earliest entries referring to apprenticeship are as follows:— (5-5-159.3). The dekin, maisteris, and haill craft statutis and ordains that na brother of craft tak ane prenteis for shorter space nor the space of fyve yeiris, according to the letter of dekinheid. And gif ony brother of craft sail put the said prenteis to taskwork during the space of the said fyve yeiris, the said brother, for sa doing, .sail pay to the dekin and brother of craft foure piindis money imforgivin, and that, befoir the imbuiking of the said prenteis the said prenteis produce his indenture before the dekin and maisteris of craft gif the saining he sufficient; and the said prenteis entering in taskwork during the said space of fyve yeiris sail pleis his maister also befoir he entir to the said taskwork. The dekin, maisteris, and haill craft statutis and ordains, that in all tymes comand thair be na les price tane fra intrentis in thair craft to be fremen thairin, being first maid burgessis in this citie and not burgessis sones fremen of thair craft, nor the sowme of ten pundis money, and that for the support of thair puir decayit brother of craft, and releili' of thair common charges belonging to thair craft. 24 APPRENTICESHIP AND FREEMANSHIP. Two years later, regulation of incomers is evidently necessary, as the following entries show :— (13-2-1595). It is statut and ordanit tliat na brother of craft give mair to ony servand he sail tie to serve him in his craft hot onlie x s. of tie, and twa part of proffeit for the work the said servand sail work, under the paine of xx s. for the first, and being convict to refus to pa 3 'e the said xx s., to paye xl s. to the craft, and xvj s. to the baillies. Item it is statut and ordanit that thair be na outtintownis prenteis ressavit in service in this toun, because that mony ignorantis cummis to the tonne alledging thame mair experimentit nor thai ar, except that for farder learning to be gevin to thame in this tonn, and tolerance to be grantit to thame to work, thay paye to the dekin of the craft for the weale of the said craft xx s. at thair admissioun to be servand in the said craft. And gif that ony of the brethreine of the said craft sail cloik the mater and ressave at thair plesure wnexperimentit and unvorthie servandis to work to thame in the said craft, not adverteisand to the effect foirsaid the dekin and maisteris of the said craft, thay that sal happin to do swa sail paye for thair fait xvj s. to the baillies and ane new wpset to the craft. Item it is statut and ordanit that na servand tie him fra his maister to ane wther brother of craft without that be done in presens of the dekin of the craft, or, in his absence, twa or thre brethreine of the craft. In case he sail do in the contrair, sail paye to the craft vj s. viij d., and xx s. be the maister that sail tie him. Here is an early entry as to the discipline necessary for idle and ill-behaved apprentices :— Septimo die raensis Augusti 1602. The dekin, maisteris, and haill craft convenit at thair Lammase court, statutis and ordeinis that quhatsiimever servand of the craft sail abstract himself fra his work, working to his and his maisteris weale, and give himself to idilnes, vaging or drinking, to his hurt and neglecting of his work, and lose to him and his said maister, in swa doing sail paye to the dekin of the craft, for ilk daye the said servand salbe fund doing as .said is, xl d., unforgevin. Die xij Maij 1604. The quhilk day, the deakin and haill brethrene of craft hes statute and ordanit, that na fremanis bairne of thair craft in tyme cuming, quhiddir thai be prenteis with thair father, or with onie uther man, or give thair father be deid, that they sail enter frie but onie payment, with privilege to onie freman of the craft notwithstanding that he resavis the fremanis bairn prenteis, that he sal have licens to resave ane uther prenteis quhen occasioun servis. There is no earlier entry conferring immunity from entrance fee on sons of members, and it carries with it the right to the master APPRENTICESHIP AND FREEMANSHIP. 25 taking such apprentice, that he should not thereby be debarred from taking one who was liable to pay his freedom fee. That the need for discipline was not always on the side of the apprentice the following entries show:— Septimo Maij anno domini 1608. The same [day], the deikin and maisteris of [craft] ordanit Georg .Schirilaw, within XX dayis nixt following the dait heirof, to put Johne Walker his prenteis to work at the luinh, uthernayes to denud himself of his prenteis, and pay him bak his prenteissie ressaveit be him fra the said John. Decimo sexto Augusti 1613. The quhilk day, in presens of John Clark, deikin, and maisteris of craft, compeirit John Geinrnill, principall and John Patersoun younger, as cautioner for him, on the ane pairt ; Johne Park, his prenteis, as principall, and William Clark elder, as cautioner for him on the uther pairt. and become actit ilk pairtie and thair cautiouner conjunetlie and severally buntl and obleist in this maner, that is, that the said John Gemmill in na tyme heireftir sould bluid his said prenteis, nor yit stryk him unmercifully, undir the pain of fyve pundis, and freithing of the said John Park of his prenteischip; and that the said John Park sould in na tyme cuming, during his prenteischip, commit onie heiche offence agains his said maister, ather in going fra his service, or in dissobedience to him, under the pain of fyve pundis {toties quoties ); quhilkis offences salbe tryit be the deikin and maisteris for liaytli the pairties wranges and offences; and ar become actit, ilk pairtie and cautiouner, to pay xvj schillinges to the baillies for ilk tryit offence; and ilk [mincipall obleissis thame to releif thair awin cautiouner of the premissis. Octavo Augusti, 1621. The quhilk day, Johne Allansoune, weifer is actit, bund, and obleist, of his awin consent, to teache, lerne, and instruct James Calder in thir four poyntis of his weifer craft, viz.—the wound loome, sea bombacie loome, the playd loome, and playding, as also he bindis bimselfe to remaine with the said Johne during the spaice conteinit in the former act; lykas ArchiV)ald Patersoune becomes cautioner of his awin consent for the said James Calder for implement of his pairt, conforme to the act above rehersit. And for implement of the said Johne Allansoune, his pairt, William Kirkland is bund and obleist as cautiouner for him ; and ilk ane of the principellis pairties bindis and obleissis them to warrand thair cautiouneris of the haill premissis. The following entry, for the earliest time in the records, lays down smaller fees for sons and sons-in-law than for outsiders, and D 26 APPRENTICESHIP AND FREEMANSHIP. this entry is also interesting in its effort to prevent wasteful expenditure at the entry to the Incorporation:— Quarto Martij 1612. The quliilk day, the deikin, iiiaisteris and haill craft being conveinit, haveing weill weyit and eonsidderil how thai daylie grow and incres in debt but releif thairof quhilk specially proceidis of thair cairlesnes quha ressaifes frienien, servandis, and prenteissis without gratitud or payment to the box for supplie of thair coniinoun chairges. Thairfoir thai all in ane voice, aggrieand togedder, have concludit, statut, and ordainit, that in all tymes cuming thair banquettis and say drink, quhilk was sumpteous, sail be convertit in money to the comnioune weill of the craft, and augmentatioun of thair commoun guidis, sua that everie frieman prenteis and frieman sail pay as followis:—That is to say, all barges wobsteris sones quhen thai ar prenteis, xiij s. iiij d., and all utlieris prenteissis, xl s. and all burges wobsteris sones that becumis freiman sail pay four pundis of upset, and thrie pundis for his banquet and say drinck, and siclyk wobsteris that maryis ane frieman wobsteris dochter sail pay alyk, and utlier burges sones and uther prenteissis within this burghe sail pay tuentie merkis of upset, and four jrundis for thair banquet and say drink, and all utlieris strangeris that becumis Me sail pay tuentie pundis of upset, and sax pundis for the banquet and say drink. To the quhilk act the deikin and maisteris and haill craft bindis and obleissis thame to stand and abyd but coutradictioune or reclaniatioun. The entry of 8th August, 1621 (on previous page), and the following give an idea of the fabrics then made—playd being something much like a present day shepherd tartan homespun. In these days linen weaving had hardly begun in Scotland, and was a distinct craft; cotton, of course, was wholly unknown, and the spinning of wool only done by hand in the most primitive fashion;— XV February 1615. 'I’he quhilk day, in consideratioune of the complaint maid be Win. Crawfurd to the craft, of Archibald Thomesoune, his maister, for conceilling fra him of diveris jioyntis of his craft specially hyding fra him all playdis he weifes and sea bumbasies. Tliairfoir the deikin and maisteris all in ane voice lies ordainit the said Archibald for the said William his instructioune to give him to warp and weife during his prenteiship ilk thrill pair of playdis that cumis in his hous to weife and als to acquent him and instruct him with sey bumbasie that is hrocht to him to work under the pain of four pundis toti&s quoties as he failzies sua to do he being tryit culpabill thairin. Apparently it was found necessary in these days to ordain that masters should not overpay their servants:— Decimo octavo Augusti 1615. The quhilk day, the deikin and maisteris eonsiddering the greit abuis that is amangst thair servandis in prejudice of thair friemen craveing and exacting of thair APPRENTICESHIP AND FREEMANSHIP. 27 maisteris greit feyis and bountetliis, thairfoir and for remeid thairof it is statut and ordainit be tlie deikin and maisteris witli advys of the haill craft conveinit that na frieinan heireftir sail give to ane servand attonr ten sliillinges in bountethe and na ntber fey bot the tna pairt of the pryce and bountethe of the work that thai sail work as servandis with thair handis and na farder. And cpiliatevir frieman contraveinis this act sail pay fourtie schillinges to the bailzies and four pundis to the deikin and maisteris to the behuife of the craft. Tertio Maij 1623. The same day, the deikin and maisteris hailing considerationn how the prenteissis within this burgh, expres agains all thair commoun weill, tackis up and injoyis the thrid pairt, or tua pairt of the proffeit of his wark; for remeid quhairof, it is actit, statut, onlainit, and concludit be the deikin, and haill maisteris present, that na prenteis heireftir, within the yeiris of tliair prenteiship, sail inbraice or injoy anie pairt or portioun, les or mair, of tbe work to be wrocht be tbame during tliair prenteiship, and give anie maister suliir or permit the samin, the maister to pay fyve pundis for ilk fault toties quoties, and the prenteis that undirtackis the samin, to be denudit of his priviledge and benefeit of the craft (friemenis sones being exceptit). For two-aiiJ-twenty years conditions remained unaltered as regards fees for entrants, and then the fine for strangers was raised as follows :— xxiiij Febrnarij 1645. The said day. it is statut and ordanit be the dekine, maisteris of craft and haill bretherine thairof, who, for the most part war present, that everie stranger who enters frieman heirefter with tJie craft, not being ane friemans son and prenteis or maryand ane burges docbter sail pay of upset, or fyne, befoir be be admitit, threttie pundis money to tbe weill of the craft. In same minute there is an indication that the weavers had kindly and sympathetic feelings to those in need:— The said day Robert Kirlie, sone to James Kirlie, in Gowrok, is buikit heirin prenteis with Johne Kirlie, and lies payit for his buiking xx s. onlie, for respect of the poor boy. Again, only five years later than that just recorded, there is a further increase in the entry charge for strangers, and the minute contains the first reference to the burden of the cost of education. What form this took there is no evidence to show:— XXV Februarij 1650. The said day, the dekine, maisteris of craft, and haill bretherine of the calling being convenit, who for the most pairt war present, and taking to thair consideratiouns 28 APPRENTICESHIP AND FREEMANSHIP. the havie hurdin";s layit on tlie calling for helping of the poore, and scool-maisteris, and wther burding imposit on the calling; it [is] inactit, statut, and ordanit be them all in ane voyce. that ev^erie stranger entering ane frieman heireftir, sail pay of wpsett at his entrie four scoir niarki.s, by .and besyd the dewis to he payit for the say drink, mortclothe, and officerschip. Many entries indicate the deliberateness and thoroughness with which the apprentice, or even in some respects ah'eady qualified weaver, set to learn specific branches of the trade. Here is a case where a bargain to be taught “ dowble cuveringis ” was considered matter for a legal deed registered in tlie County Commissary Clerk’s books :— At Glasgow the saxtein day of Julij j"' fiftie sex 3 ’eires;—It is aggriet betwixt John Cochrane weiver, burges of Glasgow, and Duncane Lome, weiver thair on the ane and uther pairtis in this tnaner: To witt, the said Duncane Lome, be thir presentis, bindis and obleissis him painefnllie and trewlie to teatche learne and instruct the said John Cochrane in Aveiving of dowble cuveringis and that sufficientlie, and to make him ane craftisman thairin als good as the s.aid Duncane himselff in all respectis, and that from this furthe to Mertimes nixt, and sail furnische to him ld and als ane wther eausnalitie of xxxiij s. iiij d. to he takin of ilk weifer in the cnntrey that takis out wark out of the towne to he wovine, quhairof the craft lies bein in use lang of hefoir, he vertew of thair right thairof, and now lies gon out of use throw neglect or wtherwayis (except thes in Gorballis), and hecaus the saidis causualiteis lies, and may, prove prolitahle to the craft for releif of thair poore decayit hretherine, the dekine and rnaisteris of craft lies gevin and he thir presentis grantis full power and eoiiimissioun to Allane Andersone, ane of thair hretherine to introniet with and collect the saidis twa causualites (except that whilk is jiayit yeirlie to the craft he the weiferis in the Gorballis); and that for the space of twa yeiris, viz., to Witsonday 1648; and to appropriat the same to himself for his pains; to the ell'ect the same may he hroght in use agane for the weill of the craft; and then the craft is to enter tliairto, and to mak the best use thairof they can. While there were undoubted privileges granted by the town to tradesmen, tliere was, on the other hand, an onerous obligation under¬ taken by the Burgesses, as the following copy of a Burgess ticket will show :— Buruess ticket in favor of John Boyd, tailor. —dated 8 August 1678.

(Signed) G. ANDEllSONE. That tli8 privileges were recognised and upheld by the Royal Authorities the following Act will show:— Act of the IjORUS of the Exchequer in favor of the Trades of Glasgow as to privileges given to the masters of the “East Suggarie” of Glasgow, dated 5 July 1687. At Glasgow the fyfth day of July i"' vi'-' and eightie sevin ye.ars,—Anent the supplication given in be the proveist, tonne connsell, deacon conveener of the trades of Glasgow for themselves and in name and behalfe of the freemen of the said burgh, to the lords commissioneris of his Majesties thesaurie and exchequer, — JJearing that notwithstanding of the fiindamentall lawes and consiitutiones of the burgh and by several 1 acts granted by his sacreed Majesties royal 1 predicessouris and seallis of causes granted to the incoriiorationes of severall trades within the said burgh, and •pihich are all ratilied and confirmed Jiy aeverall acts of parliament; and particularlie the 6th act of the 19th parliament of Ixing .James the sexth all unfreemen especiailie couparis, are expreslie prohibited and discharged to work or exercise their trade within the priviledges and liJterties of the said Inirgh ; and the deacon and freemen of the Couparis are both impoured and apjiointed to censure and punish all unfree persones who shall be apprehended working any such work within the burgh, conforme ipiliairunto the petitioneris have bein in possession of their jiriviledges cont.ained in the foresaids rights Jty ap[»rehending and punishing all unfreeinen working within the said burgh and that past all memorie; notwithstanding ipiliairof upon ane petition presented to the saids loids by the maisteris of the East .Suggarie of Glasgow upon the first day of Apryle last, there is ane act past quhaiiin among severall other priviledges and concessiones granted be the saids lords to the maisteris of the said suggarie, the saids lords have allowed them the benefite of ane coupar 38 TEADE PRIVILEGES. for their work of their oune choiseing; and he vertew of the saiil act the maisteris of the suggarie hav'e accordinglie brought in and doeth yet keep and make use of ane unfreeman for working of their pretended coupar Avork in manifest contempt of the magistrats and fundamentall laAves of that burgh and tlie prejudice of tlie deacon and freemen couparis and their rights and priviledges granted to them in maner foresaid ; and as tlie said act was privatlie impetrat without aither calling or hearing of the petitioneris, and that in caice the petitiouneris had bein heard at the passing thereof, the humblie conceave no such act could have past against them for the reasones following, viz. —Primo, the petitiouneris haveing their rights and priviledges ahovewrittin so clearlie granted and established to them according to the fundamentall lawes of this kingdom ; and the same being cled with immemoriall possession, it is humVjlie conceaved their saids priviledges can neither be taken from them nor incroached upon except hy ane legall process of reduction and declarator before the judge ordinal-; and no man ever pretended such solemne rights and constitutiones, cled with immemoriall possession as said is, can be evacuat by ane delyverance clandestinlie impetrat upon ane privat bill. Bot Secundo, as the act of parliament made anent manufactories doeth allow them no such priviledges as to mantaine any unfree coupar for working of their pretended coupar work for manufactories within this kingdome did ever pretend to the same, bot on the contrare they are all expreslie precluded and debarred therefrom, as is clear by the manufactories both of the Suggaries and Soaparies at Leith and other free hurghes within this kingdom, wherein none hot freemen are allowed to work any wright work or coupar work within the burgh in any of the manufactories that are set up within the same. Tertio, It is weill knowne that all the coupar work the manufactorie will stand in need of the space of ane whole year, could be wrought by ane man in the space of two or three moneths at furthest, so that they could keep no constant coupar if it were not, that, under cullour of working to the manufactorie, they doe privatlie work to severall other of the inhabitants ,and otheris of the countrey, to the great j)rejudice of the deacon and freemen of that trade. Quai to;—In caice such ane encroachment u[)on the burgh of Glasgow and priviledges thereof should he allowed, the maisteris of the manufactories might likewayes pretend to bring in and mantaine ane wright, shoemaker, tailzeour &c., all unfreemen, and thereby mine and prejudge the haill tr.ades of the burgh, and quhich the saids maisteris are actually threatning to doe alheit the same be humblie conceaA'ed to be ane encroachment altogether unheard of and inconsistent with law. Quinto, if such encroachments should be allowed, (as in law they cannot) the haill trades would undouhtedlie be ruined, the burgh thereby rendered uncapable to pay the taxationes and impositiones due to his Majestie and the hurgh should be ruined and bis Majesties revenew diminished and ]jrejudged; and seing the petitioneris are willing to furnishe the manufactorie with able and skilfull workmen both at ane ordinary and cheap rate.—Therefore humhly craveing that the saids lords in consideration of the premissis would he pleased to recall the foresaid delyverance and act extracted thenipon in favoures of the saids maisteris of the Suggarie, or otherwayes remitt the same with their rights and priviledges to the lords of session to be determined be them according to law; and TRADE PRIVILEGES. 39 in the meantyme allow the petitioneris the exercise and possession of their rights and priviledges until the tinall decision thereof and act extracted therupon; as the said petition in itselfe at full lenth is contained; Which petition being read and considered be the saids lords, they ordained the inaisteris of the said Suggarie to see and answer the same, who gave in the answeris made he them therto in maner nnderwrittin viz.—that the maisteris of the said suggar work conceave that they have good and undoubted right to the said priviledge by the acts of parliament and acts of exchequer, declaring this priviledge to them of haveiiig ane coupar of their oune choiseing, and that likewayes for the reasones then presented, and quhich were found to be verie relevant and sufficient, hot the saids maisteris being now charged with horning at the instance of the couparis of Glasgow, and there being ane bill of suspension given in by the maisteris, the same is ordained by ane warrand in presentia produceil by themselves, to be discust upon the bill, and the saids lords being the judges ordinary for discussing points in jure such as this is, it is humblie conceaved that they could not trouble their lordships with it, it being ane rindoubted principell in law, that ane process depending before ane judicatorie could not be transferred to ane other by the same pairtie who intended the process; and if it were otherwayes the maisteris would be verie glad to debate before their lordships who had alreadie decided in their favoures, hot since the cou])aiis .are not content to submitt to the saids lords decision, hot thinks they are wronged in point of law, the maisteris are verie content that the lords of the session may hear likewise their reasones to the end they may second the saids lords act and find that they have done what was suitable to the law of the N.ation, .and the acts of p,arliament in favoures of manufactories, and which they hope will at leist put ane end to all proces ; by which the maisteris of the suggar works, manufactories and privat estates are ruined.

The process ends abruptly, so presumably an amicable settlement, which it was not thought necessary to record, was arrived at:— Unto tlie deacon and masters of the Incorporation of Weavers in Glasgow. Tlie representation and complaint of Robert Provane, Collector to the said Incorporation. Sheweth That by several acts of the said incorporation its statute and enacted that it shall not he leesom or laufull to any freeman of the said incorporation to employ or give work to unfreemen or countrey weavers not freemen of the said trade, and that the contraveeners are to be lyahle to, or incurr certain fynes to he payed to the Collector for the use and behove of the poor of the said trade, and jiarticularly by act of the said incorporation of the 2.3d of May 1735 years, it was agreed by the said whole trade, ncinine contradiccnte, with advyce and consent of the deacon conveener, that in all time thereafter no freeman of the said incorporation shall employ any unfreeman to work any piece of thair craft under the pain of nine poundis Scots money of tine toties quoties to he paid by the contraveener to the collector for the behove of the poor of the said incorporation, and three poundis Scots to the informer, and that the deacon and masters shall not have power to remitt any part of the said fynes. Notwithstanding wheirof William Gemmill, late deacon and James Sym (blank) both freemen of the said incorporation have each of them contraveened the said acts, as informed by James Stewart, freeman, against the said William Gemmill, and Thomas Muir, late deacon against the said James Sym in so far as the said William Gemmill has employed James Fleming, weaver in Anderston and given him a webb of doullas one or more to work for the said William Gemmill within these six monethis past, and the said James Sym within the said time has imployed Andrew Fyfe, weaver in Westthorn and givin him a piece or pieces of check linnen to work for the said James Sym, and none of the .saids James Fleming nor Andrew Fyfe are freemen of the said incorporation ;—Wherefor the saids ^Villiam Gemmill and James Sym should each of them be decerned, amerciat, and fyned in the forsaid sum of nine })Oundis Scolis of fyne to me the said Robert Provan, collector, for the behove of the poor of the said incorj)oration, and in the forsaid three poundis Scots to the said several informers viz.—the said William Gemmill in three poundis Scotis to tlie said James Stewart, and the said James Sym in three poundis Scotis to tlie .said Thomas Muir.

Glasgow 21 January 1747, sederunt Patrick Stevenson, deacon with the masters, William Gemmill and James Sym, cited by Mungo Muir, oflicer, called, appeared, craved a copy of the forsaid lybill, and a competent tyme to ansuer, which was agreed to, and they received a cojiy of the lybill, and are assigned to ansuer on Tuesday nixt at .six of the clock, in the house of Andrew Armour, late bailie, to TEADE PEIVILEGES. 41 which time and place tlie court adjourned, and to whicli the saids William Gemmill and James Sym were warned a'pud acta :— 1747—27th January between 6 and 7 i afternoon, tlie deacon and most of 1 called, compeared not. the masters convened. ) Glasgow 11th February 1747, INIungo Muir, officer, veritied a warning against William Gemmill and James Sym, defenders only James Sym compeared and acknouledged that he had givin work to Andrew Fyfe, ane unfreeman as lybilled. It was reported that William Gemmill was confined to his room by imlisposition:— The deacon and masters make avisandum of this process to the Incorporation of Weavers in Glasgow at their nixt meeting, which is appointed to he on Friday nixt at three afternoon in the Inner High Church of Glasgow, to which the said James Sym was warned apml acta, and the ollicer is a[ipointed to warne the said William Gemmill, each of them under the pain of four pounds Scots of unlaw. (Signed) PATRICK STEVENSON. F V. RELATION TO TRADES’ HOUSE AND CARE OF THE POOR OF THE CRAFT. While the Incorporation originated not later than 1514 (as stated in Chap. I.), the combination ot‘ the Fourteen Trades, now known as the Trades’ House, did not take place till 1605, and it is extremely probable that the cause of that combination was the joint ownership of the Almshouse or Hospital. The earliest reference to this subject is the following minute :— Die xiiij Decembris 1604. The quhilk day, Richart Kirkland, deakin being eonvenit within the Hie Kirk of Glasgow, accoinpaneit with Ids niaisteris and liaill bretherene of craft, quha all with ane consent aggreis that in all tym coining ilk frenian of tliair craft sail pay, ilk quarter of the yeir, tua schillingis for his quarteris wageis, quhilk salbe delyverit to the deakin for the tyme to be bestowit and applyit to the use of the puir decayit craftisnien quhilkis sail happin to be iniput in the hospitall in Stabilgrene, newlie erectit be the craftisnien of this burgh of Glasgow, salang as puir craftisnien renianis in the said hospitall, utherwjds the said quarter wageis, in cais of the decay of the said hospitall, to returne agane and apertene to thair awiii craft. J. CRAIG sst. There is extant and in possession of this Incorporation an elegantly written copy of the Letter of Guildry under which the Merchants and the Trades’ House originated. The ink has somewhat faded, but the lettering is perfect and easily read. This document is given verbatim as No. IX. in the Appendix of Crawfurd’s Trades’ House, and in Chapter XXIII. of the same volume it is stated that these same Letters of Guildry, though acted upon, were not confirmed by Parliament until 1672. The first deacon-convener was nominated in the Letters of Guildry, and his duties generally were to “judge betwixt them, and any of them, in matters pertaining to the crafts and callings, and shall make acts and statutes for good oi’der among them, with the advice of the rest of the deacons, and their assistants.” RELATION TO TRADES’ HOUSE. 43 It is evident that the weavers had not equal rights of admission to the Hospital from 1605, as the following minute shows;— At Glasgow the eight day of December j"' anil seaventie sex yearis. The quhilk day, Robert Flaikfeild, present deacone of the weaveris of the said burgli, his maisteris of tread and most pairt of the said calling being convined, with James Farrie, present deacon conviner therof, and taking to ther serious consideratioune the loss and dommadge they sustaine by pajing in no more nor fyftine punds Scotis monev yearlie to the deacon convineris hous, it being soe small, and that by augmenting therof they may have ane kye of the deacon convineris box or hous, and get als many men of ther tread wpon the said hous as any uther tread lies or may have for the futur. Therfor, for remeid therof, the said deacone, maisteris of craft, and most pairt of the said calling be thir piesentis have, be plurallitie of votis, statut and bund and obleist them and ther successouris in oflice to pay in yearlie to the said deacon convineris hous in tyme comeing the soivnie of threttie punds Scotis money, the said deacon convineris hous giveing and granting ane act in ther favouris that the said weaveris sail have ane act wherin they are to have ane key of the deacon convineris box, and to have als many men Avpon the hous as any uther tread lies at the first alteratioune of the hous, and to he preferred thairto befor any uther tread wha payes not als much, and they to be preferable to any uther tread wha conies in for that effect quhairvvpon they have granted the preraissis and nae utherwayes; and ordaines extractis heirof to be given furth for that effect wnder ther clarkis hand. The representation on the deaeon-convener’s council was also less than four other Incorporations, and in 1771 an effort was made to secure equality as follows At the Trades’ Hospital the twenty-third day of May seventeen hundred and seventy one years—Convened, William Bell present Deacon .John Robertson late Deacon with the whole of the masters except one and a considerable number of the other freemen of the Incorporation of Weavers in Glasgow the whole being warned as was verified by the Trade’s officer present in Court—when the said William Bell, Deacon represented to the Incorporation that at meeting of the Convener and Deacons of the Incorporations of the City on the 18th May currt. there was presented a Petition to them signed by the said John Robertson and some of the other old Deacons of the Ten Incorporated Trades last in the order of the Roll of the Trades House, setting forth that the said Ten Trades had a fewer numher of members in the Convener’s council than the first four Trades in the said roll had, without any reason for it appearing in the Books of the said Trades’ house or that any just reason can be assigned for it, and praying for remeid, a copy of which Petition was produced and read over in presence of the said Incorporation and the Deacon having also represented that at the said meeting it had been objected that 44 RELATION TO TRADES’ HOUSE. the said I’etition was given in without authority from the said Ten Incori)orations for the removing of wliich ohjection the sai'i Incorporation of weavers unanimously did and hereby do approve of tlie said Petition presented as aforesaid, and empowered and hy this tlieir Act of Trade empower tlie said William Bell, present Deacon and his successors in office for and in name of this Incorporation humhly to apply to the said Trades House to grant the desire of said Petition—That the whole Incorporated Trades of the City shall have equal numbers of Members in the Deacon Convener’s Council, and to adhere to the said Petition, and to subscribe the same or any other Petition or writ necessary for that purpose, and the said Deacon and his Brethern of Trade who are members of the foresaid Trades House to do all in their power to get the desire of the foresaid Petition granted, and to insist, consult and determine as members of the house in the said matter until the final issue thereof, and the said Incorporation hereby agree and become obliged to contribute their part of what sum may be requisite for support of the dignity of the Trades House and support of the poor thereof, and empower the Deacon and Collector and their successors in office out of the Trades funds to defray the whole charges that have already been incurred or may hereafter he incurred in the said matter, and ordain Extracts of this Act signed hy the Trades Clerk to he given out to the said Deacon to be by him presented to the foresaid Trades House, and for and in their name to sign this act in the Trades Book (Signed) WILLIAM BELL Tlie result was an action of declarator in the Court of Session decided in 1777, which gave to the weavers the representation now acted upon, viz., the deacon and three assistants. While the Letters of Guildry were confirmed by Parliament in 1672, there arose further need of confirmation in 1689, referred to in Chapter XXIV. of Crawfurd’s book, and the following minute shows that action was required on the part of the Incorporation:— 16 of November 1689. The whilk day, the deacon and haill maisteris haveing niett and conveinned in the hospitall with William Boill, laitt deacon annent the hundreth poundis Scottis receaved be him for defrayeing of his and other six of the friemen ther charges both for man and horse the space of eight dayes in goeing from this to Edinburgh, being summoned to compear befor the secreit counsell annent the election of the deacon conveinner and payeing for horse byres ; and after compt and reckoning made be the said William Boill to them of the forsaid soume, they fand that the said William had deburst out the samen and more, and therfor exonered and discharged him therof be thir presents for ever. And ordainned me undersubscriver ther clerk to suhscrive thir presents for them and in ther names for the said William Boill his exoneration in the premissis. (Signed) R. FYNNISONE. clerk. RELATION TO TRADES’ HOUSE. 45 This action resulted in formal sanction of “ the sevei’al erections ' of incorporations and deaconries of that buj-gh ” (Glasgow ).—Statute 1690, Chap. 18 — William, and Mary. The members of this Incoi’poration who have held the office of deacon-convener are :— In 1658, 1659, Patrick Bryce. John Buchanan. Archd. Newbit^^infT. John Alston. John Neil. 1799-1800, 1829-1830, 1838-1839, There were at the foundation of the Trailes’ House 30 bui’gesses of the weav’^er craft out of 363 trades rank burgesses, and there were 213 merchant rank burgesses, making 576 as the first roll of citizens of Glasgow. As will be seen from the various Seals of Cause, the responsibility of caring for the poor of the craft has always been upon the Incor¬ poration, and there is evidence that many times in its history the burden was felt to be most onerous. At an eai’ly date in the history of the Incorporation all tines were laid aside for the use of the poor, and indeed, throughout, that has been the legitimate outlet for all money received by the Incorporation from every source:— Quinto Novenibris 1655. Tlie said day, it is inactit that all sort of wnlawis that sail he gott in tyiiie cuming sail cum in to the use of the poore. Such entries as the following occur frequently during the eighteenth and the early part of the nineteenth century:— At the Trades Hospital the second day of May seventeen hundred and one years The said day Simeon Tennent present Deacon Convener of Glasgow William Haddin present Deacon of the Weavers thereof Masters of Trade being met with the rest of their trade when convened having considered the great burden of debt that the trade lies under whereby it is almost ruined and the great number of their poor who are like to starve for want of bread Do hereby for disburdening themselves 46 RELATION TO TRADES’ HOUSE. and supply their poor by plurality of votes Statute and Ordain that the quarter accounts shall he double and that is to say that every freeman of the said trade Avithin this city shall pay quarterly for the use of the poor four shillings commencing from this day and so to continue quarterly for the space of seven years and no longer and the refusants to he liable in the double and ordains the same to he punctually observed and paid to their Collector present and to come during the years above mentioned as also ordains the forty shillings Scots payable by each of the neAv Masters to he only in time coming applied for the use of the poor As witness subscribed by the Deacon Convener Deacon and Thomas Falconer Clerk to the said trade and lastly it is statute and ordained that for the space of seven years to come Ilk journeyman and prentice that receives the twa part of his winning to pay one shilling Scots quarterly (Signed) SIMEON TENNENT THOS FALCONER Clk WILLIAM IIADDIN The reason for increased entry money is several times stated as being to meet the outlay for excessive poor. About the middle of the eighteenth century, and again at the closing years, there are entries arranging to purchase meal and other food to be distributed among the poor of the craft. On 29th November, 1799, a sum of £500 sterling was voted for this purpose. Happily no such calls have come on the Incorporation since that time, and its later history in its relation to the poor of the craft, owing to augmented funds, shows increasing ability to give more substantial help where it is required. An interesting statement as to the growth of the funds in modern years is given in Appendix III. VI. SUPERVISION OF TRADESMANSHIP. From veiy early days an important duty of tlie deacon and his court has been the responsibility of maintaining a reputable workmanship; and it is always clearly recognised that defective work done by any member injures the whole craft:— (.^uiiito Maij 1593.

Seemingly it was desired to confine the work strictly to the individual, and restrictions were enacted which compelled this:— (13-2-1595) Item it is statut and ordanit, that na craftisman tak ony persones work to work quhill he can not work. In case he salt do in the contrair, sail pay to the baillies xvj s., and ane new wpset to the craft.

Poynding seems to have been ijuite a usual occurrence, and is frequently referred to :—- Decimo quarto Augusti 1596 The dekin, maisteris, and haill craft statutis and ordeins that quhosoever poynd in the craft salhe tane justlie, and he fra quhome the saining salhe tane sail not louse and redeme the poynd within xv dayes nixt eftir the taking thairof, nether sail aggrie thairanent that the poynd be not disponit wpone, that the said poynd thaireftir he appraisit and M'sit at the pleasure of the dekin and maisteris of craft without ony ryght thaireftir to he clamit to the said poynd he him fra quhome it was tane. Decimo octavo die Septembris 1596 Quhilk daye, it is fund that James Blair promeisit to paye xiij s. iiij d. quhilk, he being present, was spendit in the effairis of the craft, as also it is fund that the said James stoppit the officiar of the craft for poynding for the said xiij s. iiij d., (]uhill the .said James grantit that he did, and thairthrow lies incurrit disobedience.

It is now hardly possible to determine what the fabrics referred to from time to time in the records really were. In the times with which we are at present dealing—end of the sixteenth and early in the seventeenth century—the references are to lining and plaiding (the latter under varied spellings, such as pleyds, pladdis, and pleydin). These were respectively striped and checked fabrics of homespun wool. Ray in 1661 describes pladding as a “party coloured blanket,” SUPERVISION OF TRADESMANSHIP. 49 while in 1727 Defoe describes it as “a stuff cross-striped with Yellow, Red, and other mixtures for the plaids or veils worn by the women of Scotland.” The two following extracts refer to such work:— Duodecimo Augusti 1598. Qiiliilk daye, the dekin maisteris and haill craft perceaveand that sum of thair craft workis wollen cleytli to ane meane price, and sum to ane equall price for thair work, to the hurt and hinder of utheris, and sclandeir of thair craft. Tliairfoir thai statut that nane of tliair craft work ane elne of pladdein better chap nor aucht penneis the roundest elne, and that wnder the pane of xx s. Vigesimo quarto die mensis Februarij 1599 The quhilk daye, the dekin, maisteris and haill craft, convenit in thair Candilmes court for the intreating of tlie eff'airis of thair craft, and for the weale of the saming, lies statut and ordenit, and he tliir presentis statutis and ordenis, that na persone, maister, servand, or wyfe of thair craft tak wpone hand to sut or persewe ony persone to cum or resort to thame ather with lining or wollen or ony kynd of work, hot everie calane to pas quhen thay sail pleis best; and gif ony persone of the craft sail contraveine this ordinance, sail paye xl s. to the craft and xvj s. to the baillies. It was apparently desired to prevent a practice of advancing payment before the work was done, though the following looks like a contradiction in terms (24-2-1599) Item the dekin, maisteris and haill craft lies statut and ordanit, as be thir presentis statutis and ordenis, that nane of thair cr.aft tak fra ony calane of quhome thai hav’e work ony kynd of silveir before the liand, except the work be wrochtand the tyme thai tak the said silveir for to help to work the same, wnder the pane of xl s. to the craft, and xvq s. to the baillies. The weavers of 1599 seem to have had human failings in seeking to secure for themselves ample supply of work, and possibly doing so by specious promises, which it was recognised did a general injury to the trade, so the Master Court had to legislate as follows:— Anent overmekile work (24-2-1599) Item the dekin, maisteris and haill craft lies statut and ordanit, as be thir presentis statutis and ordeins, for the weale of the craft, that quhen it sail fall furthe that work be tane in be ony brother of craft supei’abundantlie, that is, mair G 50 SUPERVISION OF TRADESMANSHIP. nor lie is abill to work and outred in dewe seasoun, that the dekin for the tynie sufier not the said work ly in the takeris in hand thairof to the hinder of the owneris and greiff of the craft, hot that tlie said dekin intrornitt witli the said work and distrihut ane pairt thairof, that the dekin and maisteris of his craft sail think tlie taker in may not work in dewe tyme to the said owneris thairof, amang tiie rest of the hrethrene of the craft being honest men, and the havear of the overmekill work not to ganstand the dekin and maisteris of the craft for the tjmie purposing to deale amang the rest the said overmekill work tane in he him as said is, quhill gif ony brother of craft sail ganstand, the ganstandar sail paye to the craft xl s. and xvj s. to the haillies. (20-8-1603) Als it is statute that nane of the hrethrene tak onie man or womanis wark to work, quhill the hrethrene that hes wrocht to thame of hefoir he satisfeit quhat thai have to lay to thair charge. The first reference to “ linchie-winchie ” follows:— Die xxviij Novemhris 1604. The quhilk day, the deakin and haill hretherene of craft statutis and settis doun, that nane of thame sail work onie linchie winchie of the roundest sort hettir chaip nor xxx d. ilk ell, and fourtie jiennyis the smallest sort ilk ell, and quha workis the same better chaip sail pay xx s. ilk fait to the box, provyding give the said wark sail not he sufRcientlie and weill wroght, he that workis the samyn sail have na pryce thairfoir. And this act to stand in all tyme coming. This was a fabric of linen warp with woollen weft, and appears later as “ linsey-woolsey,” and presumably was the prototype of the article wincey which in the middle of last century was a large item in Glasgow’s textile trade. The penalties of broken promises were severe in these days:— (28-11-1604) The quhilk day, it is statute and ordanit that gif onie brother of the craft in tym coming mak promeis hefoir the deakin to outred ony work that he hes to work of onie persounes hetuix and sic ane day as the deakin appoyntis him, and give he outred it not, and quha evir hi'ekis promeis sail pay xx s. ilk fait, and be dischargit of labour quhill it he payit. It looks as if a way of evading the enactment against taking more work than could be quickly overtaken had been found by having SUPERVISION OF TRADESMANSHIP. 51 work for one weaver in more than one loom; so further legislation is required :— (8-2-1606) The quhilk day, the deakin and hretherene statutis that na brother of the craft in tyni coming have ony ma loomis in tliair hous to work in nor thai have workeris to work thairin, and quha salbe fund to do in the contrair, sail pay xl s. toties quo ties.

Banishment for bad workmanship, thus doing injury to the craft, seems to have been of frequent occurrence:— (14-2-1607) The dekin, maisteris and brether of craft findis Marioun Scot and James Rankeyne, workeris in thair craft, to have done wrang to the craft, for reparing of the wrang, decernis thame, and everie ane of thame, to paye thre lib. to the craft at the Avill of the dekin and maisteris thairof but farder delaye.

The next two extracts deal with irregularities. “ Coveringis ” was probably a fabric of the blanket order:— Vigesimo prime die mensis Novembris 1607. Quhilk daye, the dekin, maisteris, and haill craft lies statut and ordenit, and be thir presentis statutis and ordenis, tliat nane of tbair bretber of craft that workis coveringis or pladdis sail furneis ony kynd of yarne to ony of the persones that gavis thame coveringis or plaiddis to work in ony tyine to cum, wilder the pane of fyve lib. money for the first fait heirfore that eveir ony of thair craft salbe convict heiroff. (Quhilk daye, the dekin, maisteris, and haill craft lies statut and ordenit, and be thir presentis statutis and ordanis, that iia brother of the said craft sail in ony tyme to com intromitt with or ressave with ony kynd of uiisuliicient work fra ony outtintownis-man of craft or uther unfreman within the toun, of a craft or wtliervayis, wilder the paine of ane new upset, and that nane of thame sail buy or sell of the said unsutficient work wnder the said paine. Although Edinburgh and Glasgow were in these days separated by the slowness of the inter-communication, there seems to have been a good understanding with the brethren of the craft there, to prevent dishonest workmen passing from employment in the one town to the other:— Decimo Decenibris anno 1608. The quhilk day, the deikin and maisteris present understanding that Thomas Ranking, wobster had feyit himself with Abrahame Ramsay, wobster in Edinburgh, and refuisit to serve him Tliairfoir thai all in ane [voice] concludit and inhibeit all friemen of thair craft to give him service or work untill the tyme he satisfie the said Abrahame for his service, and for sik sowniis of money as he is justlie awand him, under the pane of ane new upset. Gamlieckling is a fabric whose nature it is not possible to trace, other than that it most likely was of linen, as “ heckling ” was not a process applied to any other material. Again it is to the desire of preserving a good reputation for workmanship that we are indebted for the entry :— Ultimo Decembris 1608. The quhilk day, the deikin and maisteris haifing tryit and dewlie considderit that Andro Witherspoone lies wrocht unsufficient wark to Christian Ros in weifing ane gamhekling wob to hir, quhairby scho is damnifie.

Boycotting was not an original invention when applied in Ireland last century. What Thomas Bryce’s offence actually was is not stated, but there is no doubt that if the resolution was carried out it was equivalent to banishment from the town;— Decimo piimo Februarij anno 1600. The quhilk day, tlie deikin and maisteris, witli consent of the haill craft, undirstanding the greit truble that Thomas Bryce, wobster hes brocht tlii.s toun into, and tlie greit contempt and abuis done be Iiim to tlie deikin and maisteris in respect (][uliairof he is not wurdie of followscliip amangst tliame; hes thairfoir all in ane voice concludit that he have na friedom of craft amangst thame heireftir, and that he be scoreit furth of thair bnik and roll, and nevir to be acknawledgit amangst thame untill the tyme he be reconceillit with the craft, and pay ane new upset. And als hes all concludit, statut, and ordanit, that na frieman of the said craft by, blok, or sell with him na kynd of mei’chandeis, sick as yearne, woll, hair, coveringis, or uther quhatsumevir, un the money, or to put to executioun, viz., viz., William Algees, of 200 markis, Janies Sympsone of 100 mark, Archibald Leis of 100 markis, Johne Falconer 50 markis, Robert Merschell 100 markis. 24 Julij 1650.

MONEY MATTERS. 79 There are frequent records of entry monies received under the agreement with Gorbals and Bridgend weavers referred to in Chapter XI. One is given here:— 3 November 1651. The said day, Patrik Bryce producit twentie markis quhilk he had fra the Gorball men, quhilk is put in the box. The Trades’ House makes an annual distribution of the respective shares from Gorbal lands, the purchase of which is referred to above :— At the craftis hospitall.

From about 1670 there are extant complete accounts of all intromissions, and one of these is reproduced here ; the account is in Scots money—r.e., a shilling Scots = a penny sterling:— At the Craftis hospitall of the Burgh of Glasgow wpon the elevinth day of October j"' vj<= and seavintie twa yearis being convined Patrick Bryce present deacon-conviner and Simone Tennent ane of the brethrine of his counsell, John Patersone, present deacone of weaveris with his quarterniaisteris and bodie of the calling who for the most pairt war present for the aflfgiving of John Cochrane, present collector to the said calling his compt of his intromissioune with the craftis guids and geir the year preceiding and his debursmentis thairof as fallowis in charge and discharge.

The weavers were fond of litigation, and had frequently to appeal to the strong arm of the law. Some reference has already been made to this subject in Chapter IV. In addition to disputes settled by the magistrates or sheriffs, they had several actions in the Court of Session. In the middle period of their history, late in the eighteenth and early in the nineteenth century, they frequently petitioned Parlia¬ ment on such suVjjects as the repeal of the laws against Popery, the Corn Laws, the Slave Trade, and Parliamentary Reform; while on every movement in Parliament, and of the Magistrates and Town Council, they freely expressed their feelings, which frequently were in opposition to those of the representatives of the city. XL RELATIONS WITH GORBALS AND BRIDGEND WEAVERS. We have no record whether previous to the 1605 seal of cause (given in Chapter I.) the earlier powers under the 1523 charter had been exercised against weavers residing on the south side of the river, but it is evident that as soon as the second charter had been granted (1605) it became necessary that there should be a working arrangement with such near neighbours. The reasons given are quaint —for the special love, favour, and kindness of the Deacon and Glasgow weavers to the /trovost and weavers of Bridgend. The text of the agreement has not previously been planted, and is given here in full: — Agreement between tlie Weavers of Glas^^ow and tlie Weavers of Gorbals ilated 8 May 1605.

There had been a purchase of the lands of Gorbals and Bridgend by the Magistrates and Town Council, who later made over the same to the Trades’ House and Trades. Being the successors of Sir George Elphinstone, with whom the 1605 agreement was made, the “ proveist, balzies, and counsall ” are instrumental in having a new agreement come to, as follows:— Contract and Agreement between the Weavers of Glasgow and the Weavers of Gorbals, dated 10 April 1657.

FYNNISONE., clerk The “mutual love and correspondence” between the weavers on each .side of the river had been disturbed in coui'se of time by the southerners accepting journeymen at lower entrance fees than the agreement of 1657 bore, and it was found necessary to call in the Magistrates and Council of Glasgow as judges between the parties. Their judgment, given below, seems to have settled matters satisfactorily, as there is no record of any further differences:— Extract Act of the Magistrates and Council of Glasgow, dated 3 October 1692, as to certain privileges in the Contract and Agreement between the Weavers of Glasgow and the Weavers of Gorbals, dated 10 April 1657. Att Glasgow the thrid day of October jiii vj® nyntie and two yeares,— The whilk day the proveist, baillies and counsell of the said burgh being conveened.—Anent the petition given in to them be John Loch, late deacon of the Incorporation of the Weivers of the said burgh, for himselfe with advyce and concurrance of the masters and haill remanent members of the said Incorporation,— Mentioning that where be ane transaction between the deacon, masters, and remanent 104 EELATIONS WITH GOEBALS AND BEIDGEND WEAVEES. members of tlie Iiicorjioration of weivers of the samen bnrgli on the ane part, and the weivers of the (forballis on the other part dated tlie tenth day of Apryll jni vj<= (iftie sevin yeares, tlie saids weivers in Gorballs in consideration and contemplation of diverse and siindrie priviledges and liberties granted to them be the said Incorporation of the vveivers of Glasgow becam bonnd and obleidged that they should not suffer any stranger weivers to settle themselves within the said jurisdiction of the regalitie of Gorballs, or to set up any workhouse or loom without the speciall advyce and consent of the deacon and six of the masters of the Incorporation of weivers of the saiil burgh of Glasgow, and the oversman of the weivers of Gorballs and six of his assessors for payment of the soume of fourtie merks Scots money for his upset les or more. Item,—ilk jirenteis takeing up his trade and working at his oune hand paying the soume of sixtein punds money les or more. Item, ilk freemans sone or any that niaries ane freemans daughter paying the soume of eight pund Scots monej' les or more as should be thought good in maner foresaid; and all of them were to be booked in a book which was to be keeped be the weivers of the burgh of Glasgow, and the respective compositiones abovewrittin to be payed be the saids intrants was to be eiiuallie divydit between the poor of the weivers of Glasgow and the jioor of the weivers of Gorballs; as also be the said agreement they are lyable for twentie shilling yearlie for ilk loom, to be payed quarterlie at the four quarters of the year to be applyed to the poor of the weivers of Glasgow without prejudice to the weivers of Gorballs to asstrict themselves in some small thing to be payed to their oune poor in Gorballs. Likeas be the said agreement it was agreed upon between the saids parties, that it should be leisom and lawfull to every one of the saids freemen weivers in Gorballs to take ane prenteis ilk four yeares and should be bound for fyve yeares, provided that the saids weivers iu Gorballs should not give more to their journeymen prentises then what was usewallie payed be the freemen weiveris of Gla.sgow to their journeymen, that nane of them might be prejudicial! to one another in the point of their servants fees; and in regaird at the tyme of the said transaction and agreement it was not customarie for the weivers in Gorballis to have or intertaine any journeymen hot what had bein their oune prentises. There was no condition nor liquidation made be the said agreement for the booking money of strangers journeymen which the saids weivers in Gorballis have introduced and made practicable sensyne and daylie receave journeymen strangers to them and take only from them twentie or threttie shilling of booking money; Whereas the saids petitioners be their Chartor are limited and restricted to the soume of three pund ten shilling eight pennies Scots money for each journeymans booking, whereby the j)etitioners are extreamlie prejudged by their admitting journeymen at ane easier rate then the petitioners can doe be their said Chartor, and is ane express trans¬ gression of the said Contract of Agreement, which obleidges aither partie to doe nae fact nor deed prejudicial! to one anothers priviledges. Likeas the petitioners humblie presumed that since the liberties and privileilges granted be the weivers of the burgh of Glasgow to the weivers of Gorballs was in consideration of their makeing payment to the poor of the Incorporation of the Weivers of Glasgow of the just and equall halfe of all compositiones and bookeing money, and that the custome now KELATIOXS WITH HOKBALS AND BKIDGEND WEAVERS. 105 introduced of receaving of .strangers journeyinen being a .supervenient priviledge wliicli could not fall under the consideration of the parties transacteris being then iinprac. ticable.—That tlierefor the saids vveivers of the tlorballs ought not only to be ordained not to receave any stranger journeymen hot such as i)ayed the equivalent booking money with tlie petitioners journeymen fur preventing a monopolie, but siclike ought and should be decerned and ordained to make [)ayment to the petitioners of the just and equall halfe of the said booking money, and ordaine them to make payment of the said twentie shilling for each loom at tlie crafts liospitall of Gla.sgow quarterlie conforme to the said agreement, as being the umloubted ground and reason for wliich the weivers of the burgh of Glasgow did indulge and priviledge the weiveris of the Gorballs with the liberties contained in the said agreement.—Craveaml therefor the saids proveist baillies and counsell to lake the premissis to their serious consideration and j)revent the ]»etitioners priviledges from being invadit or violat ami the meanes of their i) 0 (ir from being unsiqiplied or apj)ro[>riat to uthers then the designed uses, as the said petition beares.—Whilk jietition and contract of agreement past made and endit betuixt the saiils weivers of Glasgow and weivers in Gorballs of the date abovespecifeit, with the ratification therof be the magistrats and tonne counsell of the said burgh dated the ellevinth day of the said moneth of Aju'yll j"' vj'’ tiftie sevin yeares foresaid, and the report of the proveist, baillie Tennent, dohn Andersone, late proveist, dean of gild, ipon apj)lication of the leiges injured; the said weaveris in Caltoun and Blackfauldis (being allways subject to the magistratis and couneill of Glasgow, the haillis if any shall he named within the bounds, according as the weaveris of Glasgow are subject to the magistratis of Glasgow); and either party disagreeing or being dissatisfied with the sentence of the said overisman and assessoris haveing liberty to apeal to the deacon and masteris of the weaveris of tilasgow, who, in that case shall have power to deside and determin thereintill.

XIII. SOCIAL MATTERS. The old minute books have few references to social matters, but those which do occur are extremely interesting. These were primitive times, and the “ dekin and maisteris ” undertook serious responsibility in looking to the conduct of the whole lives of those under their charge. Prentices, and even some journeymen, lived entirely with their employers, whose responsibility was much more jjarental than in later years. In Chapter VIII., on “ Discipline,” there were given such extracts as referred to the proper conduct of trade matters. In this chapter are grouped those which refer to matters outside of the workshop. The earliest is one of the most dignified deliverances in the books :— Vigesimo quarto Augusti 1594. Quhilk daye, the dekin, inatsteris, and haill craft of tlie wobsteris lies statnt and ordaTiit that qnhosoevir of thair brethrein in ony tyine.s heireftir sail use scornefnll langages, mockingis, jestingis, or tantingis, be word or deid, agains ony of thair brethrene, or ony Avther persones not being of tbair awin craft, to tlie dishonour of God, provocationn of tlie persones tantit or inockit to angre or disdain, and of wtheris that sail heir the saidis tantingis, the said brethrene of thairis, everie ane of thame sail paye xvj s. to the dekin of the craft sa oft as that the foirsaid langag or tantingis be word or deid sal be wsit, and that unforgevin. Although the drinking habits of the time caused frequent gatherings in hostelries, yet the deacon had his restraining hand on them, and he had the responsibility of preventing debt being incurred, thus discrediting the craft:— (7-8-1602) The dekin and maisteris of the craft, and haill craft convenit at thair Lammase court, statutis and ordeins that qnhatsumever persones of the craft sail pas with the dekin for the tyine in ony ostlar lions and drink, and at that tyine lies not sih'ev to paye, sail paye the said silver that he salbe comptit in within xv dayes nixt eftir the drinking to the said ostlare. In case he pays not, the dekin for the tyme will discharge him of work quhill he paye the said silver to the said ostlare. 116 SOCIAL MATTERS. Abstainers are not a modern innovation; they existed in olden days. Tlie records do not disclose how far the vow—with its naive reservation—was kept by the “haill craft”:— Vigesimo secundo Septembris 1621. Thaireftir the deikin and haill craft, conveinit for the tyme, haifing ane greit regaird of thair awin cominoun weill, considdering that the daylie driiicking of wyne in tyiiies bypast, lies not onlie drawin tha fra tliair craftis, spent thair tyme ydillie, abuisit thair bodies, and wraikit thair haill guidis and geir, that ar become for the maist pairt indigent and pair. For remeid thairof, in tyme cuming, all with ane consent and assent concludit, that, nain of thame sail drinck aide kynd of wyne, of .aide sort, within the bnrgh of Glasgow, fnrt and fra the allevint day of November nixtocome, quhill the allevint day of November, in the yeir of God i'" vi'^ and tuentie tua yeiri.s (except it be that in seiknes for thair helthe, or ife ane stranger cans thame drinck for the quhilk thai sail not pay). And ife onie of thame contravein, they do heirby, and ilk ane of thame, act, bind and obleis thame for thair awin pairtis being tryit to pay of thair awin consentis ten pundis to the box, and fyve pund to the deikin conveiner toties qiwties. The next extract throws a strong light on the social habits of the time. The bottle was evidently convenient at every meeting. It might even be suggested that the entertainment sanctioned was likely to cause the offence reprobated;— The viij day of Maij 1629. The quhilk day, it was statut and ordanit be consent of the haill craft, that it sail not be liesnme to na freiman of the said craft to half his wyf at the tabill quhair the craft is doeing thair leisum bussines, bot if scho cam, to tak ane drink and go hir way, bot if scho skall and speek schamfull language, and Mr housband put hir not out of the hous quhair they ar, the housband and the wyf sail pay xl s. to the craft, and xvi s. to the baillies toties coties.

The last extract refers to the one social event which the Incorporation continues to observe until this day, and it will be observed that even in 1673 it was arranged on the independent footing still customary :— At Glasgow the nyntine of Septemher 1673. Convined Patrick Hryce, deacon conviner, John Patersone, deacone and his maisteris of craft, with the most pairt of the calling.

(Signe.l) PATRICK CLARK. XIV. PROPERTY HELD BY THE INCORPORATION. There is now no capital of the Incorporation invested in lands or houses, but there is some interest in tracing the property which has been held from time to time. The oldest is certainly that at the corner of Weaver Street and Rottenrow, of which the nucleus was purchased about 1655, and which only passed from the ownership of the weavers last year. It is difficult to identify the property referred to, as there has been rebuilding during the holding of it by the Incorporation, but the following very early sasine record refers to a portion afterwards acquired by the weavers:— (Original in Latin.) Instrument ok Sasine 14 March 1.537-8. —11 Ind. 4 Paul III George Barbour, procurator and in name of a noble man George Sterveling of Gloret resigned in favour of a discreet man, Mathew Muirheid, burge.ss of the city of a waste tenement (vastum tenementum) lying in the city of Glasgow in the Katounraw (vico ratonum) on the north side thereof between the manse of the rector of Edilstoun on the west and the tenement of the late Mr. John Boswald on the east.

M. ROWAND. Clerk. PROPERTY HELD BY THE INCORPORATION. 119 The two properties referred to in the following- are bnildings ei-ected on the ground referred to in the two preceding extracts, and it is evident that the land on which the parson of Edilstoun’s Manse itself stood also passed into the ownership of the weavers.

In the previous chapter the later history has been somewhat led up to by detailing the action of the Incorporation at the time of the agitation against the Corn Laws. Throughout the closing years of the eighteenth and earlier half of the nineteenth century there is also frequent reference to Burgh and Parliamentary reform, the Slave Trade, and the Laws against Popery. On these subjects the Incorporation freely expressed its feeling and used its inlluence on the popular side. An important factor in the later history of the trade was the introduction of the power loom. On that subject Fagans History of Glasgow says;— “The power loom was introduced to (Jlasyow in 177.3, l)y Mr Jame.s Louis Rohertson of Dunblane, who set up two of them in Argyle Street, wdiich were set in motion by a large Newfoundland dog performing the part of a gindiorse.” John Rohertson, a Pollockshaws power loom tenter, in several letters sent to the Glasgow Herald in Jany and Feby 1871 stoutly contests the accuracy of this statement, and, contending that Mr Pagan must have been misinformed, he says that a man named Adam Kinloch, whom he met in 1845, and who was then eigiity-hve years of age, “ made the first two powerdooms that ever were made in the world, and drove them with the use of a crank by his own hand, in a court off the Gallowgate” in 1793. In Gibson's History of Glasgow (pp. 247, 8) there is an inter¬ esting detailed account of the classes and values of textile goods manufactured in the city during 1771. He shows that then cotton and linen fabrics largely preponderated over woollen, which in the earlier years had been the staple manufacture of Glasgow. The total value, however, only reached £156,456. The same volume has a very interesting reference to the effect of the loss of the American trade in 1776:— “Perhaps no circumstance could have occurred more fortunate for the manufactures of Glasgow, than the stop which has for some time been put to the commerce with 132 LATER HISTORY. America. Prior to this event the chief aim of the manufacturers was to procure a sale of their commodities to this market; and, as the returns for these were not made in less than eij(hteen months, tlie capital necessary to carry on any manu¬ facturing branch of business, even to a tolerable extent, was considerable: by the shutting of the American market, necessity has led them to make trial of others, and they now Hnd that markets for their manufactures can be procured which will make them returns in six months, so tliat three times the quantity of busine.ss may be done on the same capital as formerly.” M'Oregors History of Glasgow gives particulars of a serious trade disturbance as follows:— “ In the summer of 1787 the journeymen weavers in the Calton commenced an agitation for an increase of wages; and as they had been unable to obtain all the concessions they desired from their employers, their feelings overcame their judgment. Threatening letters were .sent to those wdio opposed them ; and towards the end of August acts of violence were committed—the rioters cutting the w^ebs from the looms of those of their fellows who were w’orking at the ohl rate, and the contents of ware¬ houses were thrown into the streets as fuel for bonfires. The authorities of Glasgow at last found it necessary to take strict measures for the preservation of the peace; and on the 3d September, the city magistrates, with a force of officers, proceeded to the Calton. The mob attacked them with a variety of missiles and drove them city¬ wards. A detachment of the 39th Regiment then quartered in Glasgow', marched, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Kellet, to the assistance of the civil pow'ei'. At Parkhouse, in Luke St., near the place where Tennant’s Brew'ery is now, the rioters and the authorities came into collision, and a pitched battle ensued. The riot act had to be read ; and a volley from the muskets of the military killed three of the weavers, and wounded several others. The crowd quickly dispersed. In the after¬ noon there w'ere symptoms of further disturbances, but any outbreak was quelled by the immediate appearance of the .soldiers. On the following day however, more wrecking of looms took place in Calton ; but the presence of the military brought the community into a more orderly condition, and prevented a prolongation of the riots.” In the closing years of the eighteenth and first twenty years of the nineteenth century there was a rapid increase in the textile trade of Glasgow and neighbourhood. M'Gregor's History, already quoted, states that:— In 1818 there were fifty-two cotton mills in Glasgow, containing 511,200 spindles, and employing an estimated capital of £1,000,000 stg. The amount of cotton cloth produced yearly in the city was computed to be upwards of 100,000,000 yards, of a t(jtal value of £5,000,000. During this period there were 61,803 packages of cotton wool imported into the city, and these packages were estimated to have contained LATER HISTORY. 133 18,19S,500 lbs., while there were ex])orteil 46,565 packages, leaving 18,238 on haml at the close of the j^ear. Within the city there were eighteen steam weaving factories, containing 2,800 looms and producing 8,400 jdeces of cloth weekly. Including the out¬ lying districts of Partick, Pollockshaws, Rutherglen, Cambuslang, &c., there were 18,537 looms, and including in a grand sweep those looms in neighbouring towns which were usually kept emi)loyed by Glasgow mercbants, tbe total mounts up to 32,000 steam and hand looms. The question of maintaining the exclusive rights of the craft became acute about 1826, and there was frequent litigation: but the time had gone by for such restrictions, and in connection with a reform of the whole municipal government the exclusive privileges were swept away. Whether or not this freedom was a factor we cannot tell, but from 1846 onwards there was a very rapid expan¬ sion of the textile trade in Glasgow. Dr. John Strang, the City Chamberlain in 1856, states that:— There were tlien about .3O,UO0 cotton spinners and ]iower loom weavers in the est of Scotland, “of wliich Glasgow is the central mart.’' In 1841 the average weekly wage of a cotton spinner was 2ls. and of a power loom weaver 7s. ; in 1851 21s. and 7s. 3d. respectively; and in 1856 20s. to 35s. in the one case, and 8s. 3d. in the other. The working liours were in 1841 69 hours per week, in 1851 60 hours per week. And again, writing about ten years later, says that:— The census returns of 1861 showed that in that year Textile products to the value of £25,121 were exported direct to France. There were employed in cotton, flax, and jute, wool and silk factories in Glasgow 1,104,472 spindles, 22,813 power looms, engines of 13,214 horse power, and 28,489 operatives. Manjr new branches of textile manufacture have taken root and grown in the city during the latter half of the nineteenth century, while the grey cotton industry, which, as shown in the extract just quoted, gave employment to the great bulk of the operatives, has practically been given up. The later history of the Incorporation itself has been placid and without outstanding incident. As in the other Incorporations, the membership in many cases has no connection with the trade, but a reference to the list of present members of the Master Court in 134 LATER HISTORY. Appendix I. will show that even now the majority—and the Ma.ster Court may be taken to be fairly representative of the members—are closely connected with the Aveaving trade. Many surnames of frequent occurrence in the early records have completel}'^ disappeared. Such names as Fleikfield, Winzett, Snyip, and Schankschawe are unknown now. On the other hand, the same families, who wrought so faithfully and planned so broadly for the future of Glasgow, are still well represented in the life of the city. Such names as MacBrayne, Alston, Paul, Coats, Addie, Hunter, Glen, Kirkland, Dobbie, Ralston, Gemmell, Scott, Cuthbert, Muir, Anderson, and Kilpatrick were, one to two hundred years back, of frequent occurrence in the weavers’ records. The Incorporation has ceased to have any direct connection with or control of the weaving trade, but the interest in and respon¬ sibility of caring for the poorer members is as great as ever, and it may fairly be claimed that the funds are now as usefully administered for that purpose as at any period in its long and interesting history.

HONORARY MEMBERS. The Right Honourable Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, G.C.B., LL.D., M.P., Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury, son of a Member —Admitted May, 1907. George Neilson, LL.D., Wellfield, Partickhill Road —Admitted Ylth September, 1909. The Right Honourable the Earl of Rosebery and Midlothian, K.G., K.T., &c.— Admitted 3rd September, 1915. APPENDIX VIII. lleprinted from “THE GLASGOW HEE-AtI) ” OF ITH September, 1915. The Earl of Rosebery was yesterday enrolled as an honorary member of the Glasgow Incor¬ poration of Weavers. One of the most anpient city crafts, the Weavers intended last year to celebrate the 400th year of their historical exist¬ ence with a banquet, to which Lord Rosebery accepted an invitation, but the festivity was abandoned owing to the war. The Incorpora¬ tion subsequently agreed to confer the honorary membership of the craft upon Lord Rosebery— a distinction held previously by the late Sir Heniy Campbell-Bannerman—and the formal proceedings were duly carried through yesterday at a domestic gathering of the members of the craft and of the other incorporations within the historic Trades Hall. The simple ceremony consisted of the presentation of the ticket of membership, the signing of the roll by the recipient, and his swearing-in. Lord Rosebery, already a Bonnetmaker, was obviously highly gratified at the distinction of being made a Weaver, and thus able to regard himself as " one in hereditary descent from the father of Bailie Nicol Jarvie.” In a speech of over 20 minutes' duration Lord Rosebery, taking as his text the motto of the craft to which he had just been elected —" Weave truth with trust ”—spoke very frankly upon some aspects of the present controversy. He commended the practice of thrift, condemned the wrangling about compulsory service, and urged the country to trust the Government. He appealed strongly for unity, because without it victory would be impossible. Mr. William George Black, LL.D., Deacon of the Weavers, presidetl over the proceedings. He was accompanied on the platform by the Lord Provost, Deacon-Convener Beattie, Collector John Reid, and the Deacons and Collectors of the other incorpora¬ tions. The Countess of Crewe occupied a seat in front of the platform beside Mrs. William George Black, and among others present were Sir Joseph P. Maclay, Sir Andrew Pettigrew, Mr. M. Pearce Campbell, and the Dean of Guild (Mr. J. D. Hedder- wick, LL.D.). We.wers’ 400 Years’ Record. The Chairman said they were met in a domestic and family capacity for the purpose of admitting to their ancient corporation the most distinguished of living Scotsmen. (Applause.) The traditional existence of their craft as a constituted body dated from at least 1514, and it was intended in September, 1914, to have celebrated their 400th anniversary of historical existence by a banquet, to which the statesman who was with them that day had accepted an invitation. The war made any thought of festivities impossible, but as Lord Rosebery had agreed to become an honorary member of the craft it was felt that a domestic and informal meeting to welcome him might be fittingly held when his engagements made it possible for him to be with them. The year 1514 as the traditional date of foundation was a deeply interesting one, for 1513 was the year of Flodden, the saddest and most gloomy year that Scotland had ever known, and yet in the very next year in Glasgow they found the Weavers united in their determination to maintain the good fellowship and the discipline of their craft. It was very significant in this year of war that we had that precedent of 400 years ago, when no sooner was the war concluded than Glasgow and Scotland leapt ahead in enterprise. As it was then he believed it would be now, and that when the present war was over Glasgow and Scotland and the British Empire would again take the leading place in conducting industries with the honesty and good qualities which had distinguished Great Britain during the past 400 years. (Applause.) The objects of their Corporation had changed very APPENDIX. 213 much during its long history. Instead of being I managed by the Corporation, the weaving trade in Glasgow now managed itself, but the Weavers’ Incorporation had remained, and was now, like all the other incorporations of Glasgow, able to lend a helping hand to those who had fallen in life’s battle. An Ex.\mple in Thrift. They had done that by the exercise of what the Government was now preaching—thrift. The Government could not find a better example of thrift and frugality than was to be found in the trades of Glasgow who had accumulated by careful industry and saving and honest adminis¬ tration funds which were applied to the last penny for the benefit of those who received them. Dr. Black recalled that the most famous deacon of all the incor].iorations was the father of Bailie Nicol Jarvie, who never existed except in the brain of Sir Walter Scott. Everyone who had worn the chain of office of the Deacon of the Weavers was proud to look back not upon the honourable names which appeared upon their roll as deacons but upon the portrait which Sir Walter Scott had given in “Rob Roy’’ of the t^^rical good Deacon of the Incorporations of Glasgow. They were deeply gratified that an opportunity had been afforded them of adding to their roll the name of Lord Rosebery. (Applause.) On a previous occasion they enrolled a citizen of Glasgow who himself was originally directly connected with the weaver’s trade—Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman. (Applause.) They were glad to offer honorary membership to Lord Rosebery, who was eminent as a statesman and as a historian, and who was, above all, a great Scotsman. Dr. Black concluded by calling upon the Clerk to read the minute of the Incorporation with reference to the election of Lord Rosebery. The Ceremony. Mr. C. J. MacLean, clerk to the Incorporation, read the minute admitting Lord Rosebery to membership. It was dated Eebruary 11, 1915. Lord Rosebery, with right hand upheld, then took the oath and signed the roll. These formalities having been completed, the Deacon presented to his Lordship the ticket of honorary membership. The ticket, he said, had been designed in the School of Art by Mr. Alexander G. A. Milne, under the advice of Mr. Newbery, and was illuminated on vellum and lettered in the style of the great period of illumination. In three corners supported by thistles were hung shields charged with the Arms of the Incorporation, the City Arms, and the Arms of the Trades’ House. On the left a panel of golden shuttles and thread was introduced, and the motto from the Collector’s box was introduced on a cartouche. On the right the seal of the Incorporation was appended by a ribbon which supported the Rosebery Arms. The ticket, which was signed by the Deacon, Collector, and Clerk, bore the following inscription :—" On the eleventh day of February in the year one thousand nine hundred and fifteen the honorary freedom of the Incorporation, founded four hundred years ago, was conferred on the Right Honourable Archibald Primrose, Earl of Rosebery and Mid- Lothian, K.G., K.T., etc.’’ The casket was of polished wood and painted in an old style which had recently been revived. The design consisted of a series of panels with black and white counter- changed borders. The lid and ends supported the Rosebery Arms and the Arms of the Incorporation and city respectively. The other panels were decorated with the rose and its berry and the primrose. The Deacon concluded by offering to Lord Rosebery, in the name of the craft, the right hand of fellowship and by recalling their ancient motto, “ Weave truth with trust.” (Applause.) LORD ROSEBERY’S ADDRESS. Lord Rosebery, who was received with applause, said : — Mr. Deacon, my Lord Provost, and fellow-craftsmen—(applause)—I am greatly honoured by the distinction that you have given me to-day in becoming a member of jmur ancient craft. I could not help feeling, Mr. Deacon, as you narrated the circumstances which led to this honour, that when celebrating the fourth centenary of your guild, and thinking how you could celebrate it most appropriately, you looked round Scotland for some hoary antiquity—(laughter)—which you might decorate on this occasion, and that I was the happy object of your choice. But I rejoice in becoming a member of this guild. It is an ancient guild, and the honour, I think, has only been conferred once before, and though I am a Bonnet- maker already I am happy to think that I may henceforth be a Weaver. (Applause.) But I cannot help feeling that there is more in it than this, and that it is one new bond—which I always welcome—of the many which gratefully bind me 214 APPENDIX. to the City of Glasgow. (Applause.) I have others of which I am proud, which I need not enumerate now. But I welcome every fresh one, and if I were to live a century, which I do not quite con¬ template, I should hope, one by one, to enter all the guilds of the City of Glasgow. (Applause.) But it is not for the first time that I am a weaver. Many years ago it was my honour to be admitted a burgess of the Burgh of Kilmarnock. On that occasion I remember congratulating myself that I had become a wabster of Kilmarnock—(laughter and applause)—though I trust I did not fidge or claw, and that as a wabster of Kilmarnock I have been adopted into that ancient craft for many years before I entered your illustrious guild. An “ Infamous Conspiracy.” May I say one word about your motto ? Up till August, 1914, “ Weave truth with trust ” would seem to me to have been an admirable one. But I hope that our diplomatists, whenever they may be called to settle terms of peace with the enemy, will entirely discard the motto that you profess. After all, we are called on now for a different kind of weaving from any to which we have put our hands before. You remember Gray’s famous lines— ‘‘ Weave the warp and weave the woof. The winding-sheet of Edward’s race.” And are we not at this moment engaged in weaving all over the world the winding-sheet, as we trust, of the most infamous conspiracy that has ever been known against the liberties of mankind ? (Applause.) That conspiracy, both openly and in a subterranean manner carried on, might well have been successful. Every other nation was comparatively unprepared, England— Great Britain—the most so. And what was the design ? The design was to obliterate all the smaller Powers, to ride rough-shod over all public faith and honour, and to make the larger Powers only tributaries to Prussia. Well, sir, whatever our interests may have been, however dear to us all are the interests of peace. Great Britain could not stand either as an accomplice or even as a neutral oliserver of such an unspeakable crime as that. She put her foot down, and to the stamp of her foot there responded millions of armed men as in the ancient fable, armed men not from England, Scotland, and Ireland alone, but from every place all over the world, in every region and in every clime where the Union Jack waved. (Applause.) That was the unexpected result of the outbreak of that hideous conspiracy—that which was meant to break up the British Empire consolidated it in a way which the most ardent Imperialist could never have hoped for. We see now the desperate valour of the Canadians, allied with our own— (applause)—we hear of the almost superhuman efforts of the Australians at the Dardanelles. (Applause.) English blood and Scottish blood and Irish blood is flowing with the blood of Canadians, Australians, and New Zealanders, and South Africans, and Indians, and the blood of every remote island to which Great Britain has a claim. (Applause.) Blood is thicker than water, but it is much thicker, and it is much more than that. It is the cement from which an Empire is constructed —(hear, hear, and applause)—which is meant to last throughout all time. (Applause.) Parliament’s Conversion to Thrift. Sir, at this moment in the newspapers we are occupied with various topics relating to the war, and from this abundance of material I will, if you will allow me, select three which appear to me to be eminently worthy of notice. The first you have mentioned—I mean thrift. Thrift is not a new topic to a Scottish audience. (Laughter.) But I must say it was very delightful to me to see a British Government and a British Parliament coming to advocate the cause of thrift, because for many years past they had employed all the oppor¬ tunities of expenditure with such advantage and profusion that they had brought up our peace expenditure to £200,000,000 a year, without, so far as I am aware, a single voice being raised in the Government or in Parliament of remonstrance or for economy. I believe that at the present moment there is being raised in the neighbourhood of Westminster Palace a group by Rodin, the illustrious French sculptor, of the burghers of Calais, with halters round their necks, coming to implore the pardon of King Edward. I cannot help suggesting that a corresponding group should be made of Ministers and members of Parliament— not all of them, but a representative number— (laughter)—of Ministers and members of Parliament with halters round their necks coming penitentially for the first time in their political career to advocate thrift. (Laughter and applause.) I hope now from this time onwards we shall have not merely the preaching but the practice of thrift in our public departments and in our House of Commons, so that at least we shall have reaped that benefit APPENDIX. 215 from the horrible calamity of war in which we are engaged. Compulsion Controversy. Well, the second point to which I would wish to address your attention for one moment is the one with which all newspapers may be said at this moment to reek—if that were not a disrespectful expression—the question of compulsory service. Now, it is an admirable subject for polemics and for argument to discuss the question of compulsory service. But the matter does not strike me as one which ought to fill to the extent that it does the columns of our press. We have established with great effort a National Government, which means a Government in which we put unlimited confidence, positively because it is a collection of most able men, and negatively because there is no other Government to take its place. We know also the disadvantages of swopping horses when we are crossing a stream. Our only course then, as it seems to me, as patriotic citizens is to put illimitable confidence in the Government. (Applause.) If the Government do not represent a united nation they represent nothing, and if we have confidence in the Government for all the other questions relating to the war, surely we should have confidence in the Government, which alone has the necessary information as to this question of compulsory ser\dce. (Applause.) Can we not trust the Government—and of course in this respect the Government is mainly Lord Kitchener—can we not trust Lord Kitchener ? (Applause.) Newspaper Wrangling. When he feels it to be his duty to do so, having all the means of information at his disposal, can we not trust Lord Kitchener to say to the country exactly the moment at which—if it ever occurs— he thinks that compulsory service should be enforced ? (Applause.) Why then wrangle about it in the newspapers ? Those who argue cannot know half so much as the Government, and if we do not put trust in the Government and Lord Kitchener we represent indeed a lost cause. (Applause.) I believe that if Lord Kitchener found the moment ripe and found the need imperative he would not scruple to ask the country to give him the powers requisite for carrying compulsory service into effect. Till that time I confess I shall hold my own judgment, more especially—and this is a point to which I attach some importance—as I have seen in none of these disquisitions any : method by which compulsory service could be carried into effect. It may be so, it may not be so, but the only body in this country who can authoritatively say that it can and should be carried out is the Government, and I think that we all I here in the ancient craft of Weavers will be I disposed to await the decision of the Government j before wrangling as to what it should be or as to I what it should not be. (Applause.) As regards my own opinion on that subject, it is worthless, and therefore I do not propose to offer it. I can conceive in times of peace that there might have been great merits had it been possible in adopting the Swiss system, which calls upon every man, just as the Common Law of Great Britain does, to defend his country, with arms, if necessary, but that is not now the question. The question is as to whether you should now add to the millons raised by voluntary service an additional force raised by compulsion. ! " Worse than Defeat.” And my third point, I think, is this—that what i we require, if we would carry this war through I to a successful conclusion, is unity. Of course I our attitude is eagerly watched by all other nations, 1 and without unity all nations, our own included, 1 know that victory will not be possible. It is then a disheartening thing, worse than any defeat in I battle, to see huge strikes proceeding in the very stress and agony of the war. (Applause.) It is not for me, not knowing the circumstances, to apportion the responsibility between the contending parties. On that point I give no opinion, but I will give this opinion with confidence, that a huge strike of our working men employed in providing the most necessary munitions of war, a great strike of our fellow-countrymen for a larger wage at such a moment is worse than the loss of a pitched battle in the field. Think what it means. There are two brothers ; one goes out to fight and the other remains to work at munitions of war or coal or whatever it may be. The one brother may be killed at the front for the very reason that his ! other brother at home is refusing to supply the Army with the munitions that they require. (Applause.) Well, surely now that the last of these I ebullitions, as I hope, is over can we not resolve to proceed with unity—men and masters in this particular instance—can we not resolve to proceed with unanimity in fighting this tremendous war ? And as in thrift, the example of unity must come from the highest. We hear whispers, we read E* 216 APPENDIX. innuendoes as to—what shall I say ? personal ambitions reigning where they should not and threatening to disturb the very balance of the Cabinet in this agonising war. I do not believe the rumours ; I do not believe the innuendoes ; but it may at any rate be right to say at this moment that if there should be any idea of the kind the men who are responsible for it will never be forgiven by their country. (Applause.) There should only be one inspiring idea from the head j of the Government to the humblest among us— that our predominant thought and our first motive of exertion until peace do come is to crush and annihilate an infamous enemy. (Loud applause.) It is only unity that will do that and all the force that we can put forward ; and therefore I with confidence appeal to my fellow-craftsmen in every call or walk of life in which they may be engaged I that they will remember, as they probably know | already, that unity is the secret of our force, and that by every means in our power and by every i discouragement of the opposite in our power we shall realise and promote that unity until victory is ours. (Loud applause.) Distinction to the Craft. [ Deacon Convener Beattie, as convener of the j crafts, said it was his duty to welcome Lord Rosebery to the craft of the Weavers. Lord Rosebery was no stranger to that house, having delivered an | address in that hall about 25 years ago. He had j from time to time been with one craft or another, I and that day he (the Deacon Convener) congratu¬ lated the Weavers on having added so illustrious a name to their roll. Whatever their colour of , politics might be, they had always been full of confidence in Lord Rosebery’s lead, and that day they felt prouder of him than ever. The years ' seemed only to add to the high appreciation in which they held him. The crafts of the Trades House represented all classes, and in adding^such j names as his Lordship’s to the roll they were I binding closer together all ranks of society. (Applause.) On the call of the Deacon a vote of thanks to Lord Rosebery for “ his eloquent and important speech ” was cordially passed. The Lord Provost said that the meeting was one of the most historical held in the city for many a day. He welcomed Lord Rosebery among them. The bond between his Lordship and Glasgow was becoming strengthened by the love that Glasgow people bore to him. Speaking of the assistance which his Lordship had always given to Glasgow, the Lord Provost said that Lord Rosebery had been a wonderful recruiting sergeant. (Applause.) Few people who had the privilege of being in St. Andrew’s Hall on that memorable evening when Lord Rosebery was privileged to declare victory for our ships off the Falkland Islands would ever forget the scene, and they all hoped and trusted that his Lordship might be spared to come in and out among the citizens of Glasgow for many, many years. (Applause.) He proposed a vote of thanks to the Deacon for presiding. There had, he said, always been a strong link between the Trades House and the Incorporated Trades and the civic head of the city. They had assisted the city in getting recruits. To different regiments raised in Glasgow they had handed over the instru¬ ments of music that inspired men to “ fall in ” at the rear and become soldiers. (Applause.) “ Three cheers for the youngest Weaver of Glasgow ” were afterwards given on the call of the Deacon. Lord Rosebery, in acknowledging the compli¬ ment, said :—“ I am very grateful, gentlemen, for your cheers and for your cordiality. I am also thankful to have been reminded that I am now one in hereditary descent from the father of Bailie Nicol Jarvie. I shall return to my home to-night to read ‘ Rob Roy ’ again and to rub up my remini¬ scences of any allusions there may be to our ancient craft in that novel.” .APPENDIX IX. TEXTILE MANUFACTURE IN SCOTLAND. PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE. A Lecture delivered by Ex-Deacon M‘E\VA]S! to the Textile Society, Technical College, Glasgow, at its Opening Meeting in November, 1911. Our industry may claim to be one of the very earliest in the world’s history. Bible references take for granted a familiar knowledge of its operations. Spinning and weaving were household industries in the time of Moses. Job uses the shuttle as a metaphor illustrating the rapid flight of days. The weaver’s beam could indicate fitly the size of Goliath’s spear, and from early times the whole process was referred to as an apt image of the working out of our lives. It is probable that the Art had its origin in still earlier times than our Bible records. All Eastern nations have primitive spinning and weaving appliances for cotton ; while in Egypt there were marvellous fabrics of linen in earlier times than those of Joseph and his brethren. In South America and Mexico, before the time of Columbus, the industry was, considering the appliances, wonderfully developed. During the first ten centuries of the Christian Era there was a general spreading of textile knowledge from East to West in Europe. Greece, Italy, and Spain, in succession took up the manufacture of linen, wool and silk. From the end of that period the spread was more rapid northwards to other European countries. Probably the Roman Invasion found us in Britain ignorant of Textile Manufacture, but first England and then Scotland and Ireland began making woollens and linens. The earliest record of any legislation in Scotland bearing on Textiles is in the “ Leges Burgorum ” of David I. in the twelfth century, prohibiting anyone but a burgess weaving for the inhabitants of each burgh. By the fourteenth century the spread of the industry over England was general, and in the fifteenth there was quite a fair proportion of our own inhabitants in the West of Scotland employed in weaving wool and linen. The fabrics made in early days are not easy to identify. As in these days communi¬ cation was slow and costly, local weavers had to supply all requirements—household linen and blankets as well as material for personal wear. Herdin is a term used which may have applied to what we now call homespun. Playd and lining of both wool and linen evidently describe check and stripe fabrics. In the records of the Incorporation of Weavers about 1604 there are entries referring to Linchie-Winchie and Linsey-wolsey, which indicate a fabric known later as wincey, originally of linen warp wool weft, latterly of cotton warp wool weft, and which in the middle of last century bulked as a large proportion of Glasgow’s output of textiles. “ Gam-heckling ” is a term frequently used. It was probably a coarse towelling made from the refuse of the heckling process of the preparation of flax for spinning. “ Bumbasie ” and “ sea-bumbasie ” are often referred to during the seventeenth century records and was probably a combination of silk with linen. About 1627 there appear entries which show that warping, at an earlier time done by the weaver himself, had become a separate trade. In 1638 an entry appears as to a ‘‘ manufactorie ” in the Drygate, which had been leased by the town, and on representation by the Incorporation, conditions were imposed protecting the craft. In 1678 a Burgess 218 APPENDIX. ticket bore that while it gave valuable privileges, its holder undertook stringent obligations of service to the town, and also " renunced the Romane Religione called papistrie.” In 1715 the Burgh Records mention two gifts offered to Royalty—one of plaids “ as used by our women for covers when they go abroad,” accepted by the Princess of Wales, and one of 500 infantry, which the King did not accept. In October, 1728, an interesting appointment was made. The Town Council then approved of a contract between the Magistrates and Susanah Smith, widow of Rev. Archd. Wallace, minister of Cardross, by which Mrs. Wallace was nominated " mistress of the public school erected in the city for teaching girls to spin flax with fine yarn fit for making thread or cambrick,” probably the beginning of Technical Education in Glasgow. The lady was to receive an annual encouragement of £30 granted by the Commissioners and Trustees of the Improvement of fisheries and manufactories in Scotland. The invention in 1738 of the Flying Shuttle by John Kay, of Bury, marks an epoch in hand-loom weaving. This invention nearly doubled the output of the operative. In 1760, Robert Kay, a son, followed up his father’s invention by the drop box which still further aided the production of plaid fabrics. In 1759 a branch of silk manufacture from Spitalfield was established in Paisley, and this probably led to the developments of the " Paisley Shawl.” There was then a large employment in Paisley of Silk Gauze Weavers. An Italian gentleman who visited the town in 1788 writes in the following glowing terms ;— “ The population of Paisley interests the sensibility of a traveller, not only by the constant occupation to which he sees them devoted, but likewise by the simplicity and, at the same time, the elegance of their manners. The town abounds with most beautiful women ; these in the morning and during the day are quite retired and occupied in their trade, without shoes and stockings, as is usual over all Scotland, and poorly dressed. These same women in summer, about eight in the evening, meet and walk through the long, neat street, which forms as it were the whole of the place, divided into bands, dressed with so much elegance and decency, that they invite a wish to prolong one’s stay, which the Scotch vivacity, far superior to the English, promises to render agreeable and diverting. In fact, after the walk, almost every evening there is a dance. At the hour of ten all go to sleep, and the day which succeeds is like the preceding, equally occupied and delightful, although the town has no theatre, nor that public place so much a favourite with the English, among whom it is common, called a bowling green, nor indeed, any other spectacle which collects and entertains the people. It is important, however, to know that this people is satisfied and completely tranquil.” .\bout the middle of the eighteenth century the dress trade was the principal industry of Norwich and gave employment to a large number of hand-loom weavers. The then Vicar of Norwich published a quaint volume ” The Art of Weaving Spiritualised,” which has come into my hands. Throughout he magnifies the art and those employed in it. Here are a few couplets :— ” How swiftly doth my shuttle fly To th’ other hand, and by and by Returns to th’ other hand it first did throw Stops not at all, nor yet moves slow ; But as it moves a thread doth stay To be united by the slay Unto the web ; All our days here Swifter than weavers’ shuttles are (Saith Holy Job). Souls cannot rest Idle at all, but work what’s best or worst.” APPENDIX. 219 “ . . . . My head, my hand. Mine eye, my feet, move at command Of my quick soul; each act their part While I am in my weaver’s art. The head contrives, the hand doth cast The shuttle, feet do move as fast. All is at work, the nimble eye Observeth how the shuttles fly.” I cannot find that there is now any textile industry, though there were in 1860 to 1870 skilful manufacturers in Norwich. The late Mr. John Ingram told me that he had often seen there fine examples, specially of cross-over shawls. The grouping of larger numbers of hand looms as factories, and the invention of the steam engine, suggested the application of power, and as regards Glasgow, the earliest record is as follows :— " The power loom was introduced to Glasgow in 1773 by Mr. James Louis Robertson, of Dunblane, who set up two of them in Argyle Street, which were set in motion by a large Newfoundland dog performing the part of gin-horsc. John Robertson, a Pollokshaws power-loom tenter, in several letters sent to the Glasgow Herald in January and February, 1871, stoutly contests the accuracy of this statement, and contending that Mr. Pagan must have been misinformed, he says that a man named Adam Kinloch whom he met in 1845, and who was then eighty-five years of age ” made the first two power-looms that ever were made in the world, and drove them with the use of a crank by his own hand, in a court off the Gallowgate in 1793.” He managed after an outlay of 100 guineas to produce about 90 yards of cloth. This sum was jointly subscribed for the experiment by four members of the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce. Shortly afterwards, Andrew got the loom conveyed to Milton Printfield at Dumbuck, where 40 looms on the same principle were erected under his direction. In 1845 these machines, with the exception of a few slight improvements, remained as they were, and were working at Pollokshaws and Paisley. A volume by John Murphy named “ The Manufacturer’s and Weaver’s Companion,” published in 1810, is dedicated to Henry Monteith, of Monkland, and there it is stated that It is well known your father was the first in Scotland who manufactured a web wholly of cotton yarn ; and it is to his industry, the persevering ingenuity of his family, and the consequent stimulus excited in others by such exertions, that Scotland is indebted for its present extensive knowledge of this branch of commerce, which contributes by honest industry to the support of so many thousands of the community, while it reflects a lustre on the British name, and is a reservoir of wealth to the country at large.” A very rapid expansion of Textile industry occurred in the earlier half of the nine¬ teenth century. The extension of carriage facilities by the development of railway.s, and the increase of postal facilities were important factors. Linens, at the close of the eighteenth century, bore an outstanding part in the employment of Glasgow hand-loom weavers, but that material was rapidly displaced by cotton; and linen, early in the nineteenth century, almost disappeared from the West of Scotland, locating itself in the East—in Fifeshire, where its development has been more and more firmly established. Forfarshire later ha.s secured the jute industry, and they between them now employ about 20,000 power looms. The manufacture of heavier woollen goods for household use and men's wear gradually left the West and became established in the Hillfoots and South of Scotland, where it has increased and prospered. As to the development of cotton weaving by power loom, naturally its earliest use was for the simplest fabrics, and from the beginning, already described by James Monteith, there was a rapid spread of the industry in plain calicoes and muslins. In 1830 there were about 15,000 power looms in Scotland, but hand weaving continued to be employed for more fanciful work—such as 220 APPENDIX. spotted and lappet muslins, also coloured ginghams and pullicates, and what may broadly be described as “ Dress Goods.” In 1830 there were thus employed in Scotland, mainly in the West, about 45,000 hand-loom weavers. While the production of heavier plain grey cottons _has diminished here and drifted to Lancashire, lighter fabrics of the muslin order have__remained, and^now employ about 14,000 looms. ^An item of this manufacture, important to__Glasgow, was the production of hand-sewed muslins, which from 1830 to 1860 gave a large employment to women in the West of Scotland and Ireland, but that trade has completely passed. There has been in comparatively recent^times a^development of curtain manufacture in Glasgow and^Ayrshire, about 40 firms being^at present engaged in this branch. The gingham^industry has in later days taken the form of zephyr and oxford fabrics, and is at the present day quite an important part of the coloured weaving trade. In the dress trade Gala Plaids formed a large item in the years from 1850 to 1865, and there were also many forms of cotton, worsted and silk variously combined, of what we may call the stuff trade, which, after a longer or shorter run here, succumbed to a successful competition from Bradford. From 1860 to 1880 wincies were a large item— cotton warp with varied woollen filling, which latterly became an entirely cotton fabric, produced more cheaply in Yorkshire. Druggets and Skirtings also in later days proved an important branch of manufacture, but fashion’s vagaries again made them a thing of the past. Woollen Tartans and Crimean Flannels have in varying forms remained with Glasgow during the later part of the last century till now. In all of these fabrics there was the interesting change from hand to power loom manufacture during the middle years of the century—say from 1860 to 1880. The old days of preparing warps and wefts and sending them in bags by carrier to all the surrounding districts, and receiving back the woven clotn in more or less satisfactory condition, at a more or less satisfactory interval, are now memories, and that only to the grey and bald heads among us. This coloured trade is now represented by about 7,000 looms, and may be said to have fallen on evil times compared with thirty years ago when there were over double that number of looms employed. While no absolutely complete review of the Textile Trade is attempted, an interesting and important feature of early last century should not be omitted—the Paisley Shawl Trade. It may be regarded as the climax and triumph of handloom weaving skill. Originally suggested by beautiful hand work from India, the productions of the loom equalled, if they did not excel the originals. Beginning in 1820 with the Draw Loom, and later produced by the Jacquard, the trade had its prosperous and disastrous times for about 50 years. It was the main industry for half-a-century of a town of 40,000 inhabi¬ tants ; but is now, as are its interesting producers, the Paisley Weavers, every third a poet, a thing of the past. Carpet Weaving, of which the history is comparatively a short one, began in Kilmarnock, and is still an important part of that town’s industry, but the trade spread to Glasgow and other places in the West of Scotland, and now forms an important part of the textile output of the West. The great development of pile carpet weaving may be noticed. The Carpets used at the Coronations of King Edward VII. and George V. were made in Glasgow. Though only processes applied after manufacture. Calico printing and Turkey Red dyeing and printing have been and are still, though somewhat diminished in volume, large sources of employment in the West of Scotland. Calico printing was begun in 1738, and greatly developed in Scotland in the later part of the eighteenth century. Lancashire has been a serious competitor. A large amalgamation took place about twenty years ago, and now there are very few firms outside of that combine which includes, and indeed is controlled in, Lancashire. Turkey Red originated in the country whose name it carries, but was first introduced in yarn dyeing to this country, in Glasgow, towards the closing years of the eighteenth century—cloth dyeing and printing followed about twenty years later. The industry, while controlled in Glasgow, has long been localized in the Vale of APPENDIX. 221 Leven, where it was the principal employment during last century. It continues as one concern, under the combination of the United Turkey Red Company, to be the largest industry in the Vale of Leven. Although knitting is not strictly within the scope of this subject, the development of manufacturing hosiery and caps by the use of the knitting machine during the last thirty years is a prominent instance of enterprise in the West and South of Scotland. The hand-loom weaving industry was from 1830 to 1860 spread over numerous villages in Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire and Ayrshire. In addition to about 20,000 in the city proper, there were several hundreds in each of the following towns and villages— Lanark, Hamilton, New Monkland, Lesmahagow, Avondale, Rutherglen, Govan, East Kilbride, Dalserf, Bothwell, Eastwood, Neilston, Paisley, Kilbarchan, Lochwinnoch, Renfrew, Houston, Kilellan, Kilmarnock, Ayr, Maybole, Girvan, Crossbill, Mauchline, Tarbolton, and many other villages having smaller numbers. With varyung fortunes, according to the smaller cycles of busier and slacker times, these hand-loom weavers passed through the thirty years named, but generally the employment became less steady, and the labour worse paid owing to the competition of power looms and other causes. The twenty years from 1860 to 1880 saw a gradual decline, and other twenty years found the hand-loom weavers as a body unknown. In 1830 there were about 14,000 power looms, 6,500 operatives and 45,000 hand-loom weavers in the three counties : — Total Operatives. In 1857, - 1,400,000 Spindles, 21,575 Power looms, - - - 31,710 „ 1861, - 1,600,000 ,, 28,085 „ . - - 36,903 „ 1875, - 1,500,000 „ 27,479 „ . - - 33,276 There are now about 300,000 spindles, and about 21,000 looms—no statistics for operatives are given, but 15,000 is probably a full estimate. This brief review of Textile Manufacture in the West of Scotland has shown that it is like the restless sea, ever changing. Its tides ebb and flow, and passing clouds of fashion—social and economic changes—all tell on its aspect. No industry is more engrossing from its endless details, yet to the man with high technical skill, combined with an alert practical mind, there are in the industry large opportunities. The eye and mind must be ever watchful for the caprices of fashion, ready to embody them in suitable fabrics. New materials and new processes should be earnestly and promptly studied. New appliances should also receive prompt consideration, but in this direction it is good advice to “ gang warily ” ; pioneers in textile appliances often tread a thorny road. There are vicissitudes in the various branches which are utterly beyond the control of the manufacturers. As an instance the hobble skirt entirely threw out the Northampton makers-up of ladies’ fancy underskirts. Makers for Foreign Markets have constantly been upset by Tariff alterations. On the other hand, many successful strokes have been made by clever adaptation to meet tariffs. Economies in processes should be constantly sought after. Pioneers on these generally find them exceedingly profitable. When a depression comes the manufacturer has a hard problem to work out ; whether to face radical changes or to struggle along waiting a revival. The only safeguard is plentiful depreciation. Be ready to scrap what is or is becoming obsolete. Ours is certainly not a trade where any faculties can be allowed to sleep. The constant change demands an alert mind. No one can possibly be a successful competitor who is not master of his trade, and certainly the opportunities for becoming so are now most complete. The student of to-day can study every process. The responsibilityjfor’fully using such opportunities'is relatively great. The Weaving School in its various branches provides the Technical skill, andjthe Society under whose auspices we meet for the first time to-night should bring out the other faculties which I have described—calm judgment and alert watchful minds. I leave the future with the utmost confidence in the hands 222 APPENDIX. of the Textile students of the Technical College. I.et.me close with another bit from the Norwich Vicar of 200 years ago:— " If curious work doth merit just esteem, Most curious work doth pass the weaver’s beam, What more ingenious work can one behold. Than damask stuffs, and ribbons flowered with gold ; Rich velvet, arras, tapestries most fine. Brocades, gallowns, and cloaths of gold that shine Ev'n to the dazzling the beholder's eye, On earth we nothing of more splendour see Than these fine things performed by weaver’s art. Yet in the splendour lies the smallest part, Of that engine which doth the same compleat And fashion all by work of hands and feet. After the head maturely hath devised. How all should be proportioned, framed and fixed. The pullies, cords, and shafts in order set. By mathematic art, the loom doth get A conjuring or astrologic spell By which the curious artist can foretell What figure shall cast up by this rare gin After ten thousand threads are wafted in. And every time the shuttle through doth go The wood of threeds, the frame’s contrived so It gives unto the web another face. Threeds that were down start up in every place Just as the cunning artist hath designed, Yet every thread is to its place confined Some yards or more, if so he doth intend. Thus he works on before his figure end : Which being finished he again begins To fix his pullies, lashes cords and pins In the same order as they were before. And then again he acts the same thing o'er. The threads all marshalled in due order stand. He, general like, a word gives of command To’s aid-de-camp, to draw the cord in front; At sight, a whole brigade of threads do mount Aloft with speed, which were before deprest. The upper line doth downward go in haste, A lane they make through which the shuttle goes The tread prest down again they quickly close The lea he handles and strikes home with blows. The feeble threed which shuttle brought along This with the web incorporate is made strong. Warp threeds do all in battle order stand And march and counter-march at his command. None from their place or station start aside Nor out of rank and file do step astride. Their ranks they close, the nimble pullies wheel By stamp of foot he doth his armies dreel. Each acts his part upon the web’s surface. Which having done, returns into its place. Just like so many actors in a play Perform their parts and then do shrink away.” THE ALPHABETICAL ROLL OF MEMBERS AND ROLL OF HONOUR AND SERVICE. 1 9 20 . 3^cotrpora(ion of (^eavere of (Bfaegow Office-Bearers for 19 20-2 1, ©eacon.
