**** Adelaide, October 31st, The trial of the ringleaders in the Broken Hill strike, at Deniliquin, has been concluded.

November 1st.
Sleath and his companions were convicted of conspiring together to prevent the owners of the associated mines at Broken Hill from work ing their properties and to molest, fatimidate, | and obstract Her Majesty's subjects from carrying on their lawful occupations and callinga."
The severity of the sentences has created the greatest fadignation and excitement among the labouring classes, particularly at Broken HUL Following the receipt of the news at the latter place several serious assaults on free labourers took place, leading to numerous arrests.
It is proposed that a ballot be taken to ascertain whether the majority of the Uninists are in favour of the strike being declared off.
it is believed that in the event of the mea deciding to resume work at this eleventh hour a great number will find that their places have been filled by free labour, which has been steadily flowing into the district ever since the commencement of the strike trouble, it is expected that the practical realisation of bis fact by the Unionists will lead to more serious disturbances than have yet been recorded. The authorities are preparing for any disorderly developments.
