WILTON ELECTION.
The election of a member of Parliament for the
borough of Wilton took place Friday, and though
considerable excitement prevailed during the whole
day, with one or two slight exceptions, the proceediNe
were of an orderly character. At the general election
of 1874 Sir E. Antrobus (Libera/) was returned, but
his resignation some three years ago the seat was
successfully contented in the Conservative interest by
the Hon. Sidney Herbert, who defeated the Liberal
candidate, Mr. Norris, by a very large majority. Ai
has been already announced the candidates were the
Hon. Sidney Herbert (Conservative), and Mr. Joseph
Arch, president of the National Agi icultural
Labourers' Union (Liberal). The polling commenced
at nine o'clock, and was kept up briskly to the close at
four o'clock. As soon an the poll was closed a great
crowd assembled in the Market-place in front of the
Town Hall to hear the result ; and it was very notice-
able that scarcely any of the people present diaoayed
Mr. Arch's colour, red, the blue being astir* pre.
dominant. During the interval, however, a number
of Mr. Arch's supporters were driven along the street
in a waggon belonging to Mr. Gregory, and
drawn by two powerful horses. The waggon was
immediately followed by a large body of '-' blues,"
who hooted and groaned at the " reds " as
far as the Pembroke Arms, when the horses were
stopped and a short scrimmage took place, in which
some hard blows were struck. As soon as a fresh start
was made several boys commenced pelting the
occupants of the wagon; a number of men afterwards.
joined in, and stones fell thick and fast until the
wagon was out of the reach of the assailaats,
The poll was declared about six o'clock, with ':ce
following result :
Herbert ••• ••• •
Arch

Majority for Herbert
The Meyer declared the result of tile. election front
one of the Tewu Hall windows, sod appealed to the
crowd to gives patient hearing to frith the successful
and unsuccessful candidate.

CLAIMANT was visited oti-Friday in Portsen
Convict Prison by Mr. Guildford Onalow and Mr.
Quartermaine Rest. The convict's hair and beard are
being allowed to grow, and 14 this is always allowed
some mouth or so before a convict's discharge it t'
looked upon by his friends se • favourable sign. This
matter, however, should by no means be taken as an
indication that the convict is about to be released, hut
ills customary whenever point' of law are raised it
cares of this kind for the prison authorities to allot
prisoners to grow the hair and beard in that in the
event of the issues being favourable to the convict be
may be at once discharged under the same circum-
stances se a prksoner whose release came in the ordinart
course. The Claimant expressed much regret on boy
ing of Lord Rivers' death, and conversed freely on the
subject of the elections, making particular inquiries s!
to Nottingham.
