Mr. Evans, by the advice of his committee, re-
signed the contest soon after twelve o'clock on Tuesday
night, and Mr. William Pole Thornhill bas been accord-
ingly declared duly elected. The announcement was not
a surprising one to Mr. Thornhill's friends, who, at the
close of the poll, were at the head by a majority of 614.
The greatest excitement prevailed at all the polling places,
but at the majority of them no colours were worn nor music
performed.

by the police, could not dispel. The deceased had left his
family cheerful and well but a short time before he was

the back of the head reaching to the bone of the skull. The
case has caused the greatest excitement among the poorer
