ON March 18, 1834, six Dorset agricultural labourers were
sentenced to seven years' transportation. A month later they were taken in chains, their heads shaven, to a convict hulk bound for Australia. Their crime? They had formed a "secret society," a union to agitate for increased wages. Around the parish of Tolpuddle, where they lived, masters were giving their men money or money's worth to the amount of ten shillings a week. These men had come to a mutual agreement with their masters to receive as much for their labour as other men in the district were paid. The masters gave them nine shillings a week. Later this was Their reduced to eight shillings. They remonstrated. wages were reduced to seven shillings a week, and they were told that Inter there would be a further reduction-to six sbillingsl
They formed their union and were arrested, charged with administering an oath by an unlawful socicly. Of their trial at Dorchester Assizes, their lender, George Loveless, wrote: "The most unfair and unjust means were resorted to in order to frame an indictment against us; the grand jury appeared to ransack heaven and earth to get some clue against us, but, in vain." The judge anked them if they had anything to say. Loveless put forward the following defence in writing:
"My lord, if we have violated any law, it was not done intentionally. We have injured no man's reputation, char- acter, person or property; we were uniting together to preserve ourselves, our wives and our children from utter We challenge any man, or degradation and starvation. number of men, to prove that we have acted, or intended to act, different from the above statement."
The statement was mumbled over by the corrupt judge to a part of the jury, "in such an inaudible manner," wrote Loveless, "that I could not comprehend it."
Whilst the sentences were being passed, Loveless, the labouring man whose worth to his country at that time was six shillings a week, wrote on a scrap of paper the following lincs:
