Continuing the story about the escaping Cornish miners, 4 were caught in Newcastle and brought under guard to Amble for trial. They escaped and police and pit officials turned over the evicted Radcliffe miners camp on the Green Lonnen in an attempt to find them. They were not found.
Others were caught at Newcastle and to avoid another escape attempt were brought to Alnmouth by boat and onto Alnwick for trial. After they were found innocent the men and their solicitor were paraded and cheered through the streets of Amble
Apparently the local newspapers did not carry very much on the strike and were much criticised by the press outside the region.
