Details: Orwin v. Brown and another. This was an action brought by James Orwin against James and Alexander Brown for trespass and damage. Witness included Andrew Tunny, Thomas Tunny, Matthew Charlton and James Brown. James Brown and his brother purchased the Minmi coal pits, and the works had been discontinued before that for two or three months; he engaged a number of men, and Orwin was one of them; he engaged him at 3s 6d per ton for large coal and as much as he would of small coal 1s 9d per ton; he did not agree to take all the small coal; the houses they lived in were defendants property, and they were all a short distance from the pits mouth; the huts were not let to them; the men worked for about six weeks and there were seven vessels at the wharf; they then made a demand for a shilling a ton more wages; Orwin was among them; witness said, rather than give a shilling a ton more, if they would give the proper notice, he would shut the mines up; they laughed at him, and struck work; witness told Orwin to leave him house and make way for other men whom he could have employed.; he would not go away and they went to his shouse, took an inventory of everything that was in it and put all the articles into the store, that he might get them when he wanted them; there was no damage done to his goods. William Charlton had been overseer in many coal mines in this colony; he was overseer at the Minmi mines, when Mr. Brown began to work; he called the men together, and they asked 4s 6d per ton; Mr. Brown said he would not agree to give more than 3s 6d per ton for large; and 1s 9d for small coal, twenty four cwt being reckoned to the ton; to this they agreed; about a fortnight after the strike Mr. Brown and witness took possession of Orwin s house and had a list taken of all the articles in his house which were removed to the store; his goods were very carefully put past.
