DUDLEY ELECTION RIOTS.

At the Dudley Police Court, on Wedesday, before
Alderman Budge and Begot, and Messrs. Price and
Thompson, the following persons were charged with
rioting on the 4th inst :—Charles lieeley, the ring-
leader of the Radical mob, and James Skidmore,
James Monsen, William Davies. Sarah Aim Bythe-
way, and Elizabeth Reeves.
Mr. Chief Superintendent Burton said he only de-
sired to produce sufficient evidence then to warrant a
remand of the prisoners, who would be charged with
rioting and " demolishing" property.
Frances Allan, of Spring's Mire, said that on
Wednesday, the 4th last, which was the polling day,
she saw the whole of the prisoners near the house of
Mr. W. Meese. They accompanied a large crowd, all
of whom had bludgeons, staves, or other weapons.
The prisoners threw stones through all the windows
of the house occupied by Mr. Meese, and battered in
the shutters. Morman and Bytheway had old
shovels, and with these they beat in the woodwoork
and sashes. The soldiers had passed Spring's Mire
not live minutes before the attack was made.— Pri-
soners were remanded for a week.

At the same Court, Thomas Parkes, boiler maker,
of Paradise, was charged with applying for a ballot
paper, at the recent election, in the name of some
other person. Mr. Stokes defended, Thomas
Wight, attorney, said he was appointed by the Mayor
of Dudley as presiding officer at No. 1 Station, St.
Thomas's Ward, The defendant presented himself
as a voter, and gave the name Thomas Griffiths. The
poll clerk then ref emit to the register of voters, and
found that name at No. 434. He gave a ballot paper
to defendant, who went to the screen to fill it up, and
returned with it folded, and put it into the box. He
I was then told by one of the personating agents (Mr.
Mantle) that defendant's name was Thomas Piukes,
and he admitted it. Witness told him he had com-
nntted a serious offence, and it was his duty to give
him into custody. Defendant was then apprehended.
Cross-examined After the defendant was in custody
he saw a card having on it the name of Thomas Grif-
fiths. lie did not recollect that defendant said that
the name of Thomas Griffiths was a mistake on the
register, and that be was the person entitled to vote.
Defendant might haw said so. He did not know
that the defendant had lived in the house mentioned
on the register all his life.
Mr. Dunn said he was the owner of No. 13, Para-
dise. Defendant had lived in it ever since it was
built. There never had been a Thomas Griffiths who
lived in that house, or in any part of Paradise.
The Bench dismissed the case.

see that you get it, as inferior kinds are often substituted
for the asJce of extra profit. Beware therefore of spur-
oua imitations.
