Unfounded Charge Against Trades Unionists Heard
Four members of a trades union faced case details at Marylebone Police Office over alleged intimidation that forced nearly sixty of master builder Stephen Balcombe's workers off site. Testimony showed threats and a forced quit of Browning and foremen, prompting magistrates to find no proven case of threats against any defendant but acknowledge widespread intimidation. Balcombe reported further men quitting, while Union leaders denied culpability. The court released the defendants with a warning and offered protection to a witness if needed.
