A late 18th / early 19th century sabre with brass pommel, wooden grip and brass cross guard. The brass pommel engraved: TAKEN FROM BLACKBORNE GENL OF THE LUDITES BY W COOK SHORTWOOD JAN 3 1817 Length: 72cm. Width of blade: 3.5cm at widest point Note: On the 28th June 1816 John Blackborne or Blackburn, along with 16 others, took part in a famous Luddite frame breaking affair at the mill of John Heathcoat in Loughborough. Fifty-five stocking knitting frames with a value of £6,000 were destroyed and a man was shot and injured. Only one man, James Towle, was later identified, arrested and hanged. Three thousand sympathetic mourners attended Towle's funeral, who had spent months in prison, during which time he had been pressed to reveal his accomplices, but he steadfastly refused to turn informer. The following autumn and winter was a time of starvation for the frame-work knitters and many Luddites turned to poaching. On the 3rd of January, 1817, Blackborne and about eight others, were apprehended whilst out on a poaching excursion on Lord Middleton's estate near Nottingham, during which they attacked the house of William Cook, of Shortwood, Lord Middleton's gamekeeper. Blackborne and several others having been arrested for this offence, began to impeach each other. Blackborne made a voluntary confession of the names of his accomplices in the frame breaking at Loughborough and turned king's evidence. On Blackborne's information warrants were issued against thirteen men; seven were quickly arrested, including one William Burton, who was also persuaded to turn informer. As a result of their evidence three men were transported for life and six were hanged, Mitchell, Crowder, Amos, Savage, Rodney Towle and Whithers, who in April 1817 were hanged on a gallows erected close to the Leicester Infirmary, witnessed by a crowd of 15,000 who sang a hymn with the condemned men. These events effectively marked the end of Luddism in the East Midlands. Blackborne was only twenty-three and Burton twenty-one years old; each had a wife and a young daughter; shunned by all who knew them and fearful for their lives, they were shipped off to Canada. The capture of those responsible for the Loughborough Luddite attack would have been quite sensational at the time. We can assume this sabre was engraved by William Cook or perhaps his employer and kept as a trophy. Describing the 23 year old Blackborne as a 'General' further aggrandises the events and his captors but would seem to be an slight embellishment of the facts.
