the town to the hustings, which were in the cricket
ground. Here • large number of men, 11011140, and boys

Sir John Lubbock (L) . 8328
Mr. Angerstein (L) Sltd
Ile the/dote declared Messrs. Mills and Talbot to have
been elected.
Mr. Maze, in returning thanks, said the county of Kent
had now ant six representatives to parliament to protest
against those measures which Mr. Gladstone wished to
face upon the country. (Cheers, and cries of " No."
Three groans were called for Gladstone, which having been
given. a liberal called for three cheers

Mr. Tarn" in returning thanks, said that the palling
day was one of great anxiety to him. With repaid to
Mr. Mills, there never was. from the beginning of the day,
any doubt that he would be returned as one of their repro-
tentative& As regarded himself, however, the result was
long doubtful. He bad in Sir John Lubbock • most
formidable opponent,—(hear hear)—who bad recommended
himself to the constituency not only by his great personaabilities, but by the &served popularity in which
he was held in the neighbourhood- Th. e result of the
contest had proved, however, that the electors had given
their votes, not for men or individuals, but for measures
and principles. (Hear, hear.) He and his colleague,
in parliament, ould endeavour to uphold those
great principles which had ling guided and sustained the
country. (Cheers.) He conceived they bad elected him
to maintain obedience to the law, to secure due subordi-
nation of claws, to uphold personal liberty. and, above
all things, to pee that the connexion of church and state
should be sustained. (Cheers.) If he failed in Ruppert,
ing these principles, they would do well to reject him at
the next election; but if he voted consistently in their
favour, he should a second time confidently appeeltolheir
sugrages. (Cheers.)
No spes•chee were made on behalf of the &leant liberal
candidates, and the proceedings terminated with • vote of
thanks to the High Sheriff.
The procession having been reformed returned through
the town, the band playing, "We won't go flame till

TUE REFORM LEAGUE AND Tug ELECTIONs.—
Last night the council of the Reform Lemuel met at No. 8,
Adelphi-terrace, Strand; Mr. Edmond Heaths, M.A., pre-
sident, in the chair. The chairman said he should have
addressed to the meeting some general °Miamians. upon
the result of the elections, and the position of the Mann
League with reelect to the result. The council, however,
had decided upon calling a special meeting, for the pu=
of taking into conaideration what, after what had
place at the elections, should be the future policy and coo-
duct of the Reform League. He should, t%rdosis defer
until the evening of the special meeting any thiesseetions
be bad intended to make with respect to the result of the
elections.—Mr. Bradlaugh asked whether the report of
what was called the electoral committee had yet beei
seated or wee in the hands of the council. lie also wished
to know the names of the gentlemen who oontri.
bated the funds which had been used for electoral par-
poses.—Mr. Howell (secretary) said it should be
distinctly understood that the report was not for publica-
tion, that extracts should not be taken from it. He
could not say who the gentlemen were who furnished the
funds.—Mr. Bradlaugh then moved, and Mr. Johnson
seconded, that the mentary %directed to state from what
gentlemen the advances bad been got.—Mr. Howell
erything; ) said in connection with the matter
referred to ev
was within the knowledge of the executive
committee.—The chairman thought so grave a motion
as that of Mr. Bradlaugh required not:ea—Mr. Brad-
laugh said be would at once withdraw his motion. and
rove notice of it for the next meeting.—Mr. Cooper hoped
the financial part of the report would be ready at the
nest meeting, as he had bad great difficulty in ascertaining
anything aboutthe cliabursement of the electoralfunda.—Mr.
Howell said he should have • balance sheet ready on that
day fortnight. After some further discussion the council
adjourned.

seance,
The jury almost immediately found the prisoner Guilty
upon the count in the indictment which charged him with
an intent to murder the promoutrix.
Evidence was then given that the prisoner was convicted
at Maidstone in 1867 of housebreaking, and sentenced to
sine months onment. It aim appeared that after
be bad committed the ouiragefor which- he had been com-
mitted, he was in custody for two burglaries committed
at Chatham ; and in addition to this, a police constable
informed the court that the prisoner when very young
was convicted of felony and sent to a reformatory for five
years, and after stealing scene property from the establish-
ment be broke out and made his escape.
The Common Serjeaat said it was very rare to hub each
an erpount given of a prisoner who, according to a cortiti-
este that had been put into his hands, was not twenty
years old. His pre-ent offence was • most serious one,
and it was no thanks to him that a murder had not been
committed. The sentence upon him was that be bo kept
in penal servitude for 16 years.
The prisoner was then removed.

THE POLICE COURT&

MANSION-HOUSE.

Mr. Herbert Clayton, of I, Shorten-court, City, appeared
before the Lord Mayor to answer a summons tlUt had
been issued against him at the instance of the South
Eastern Railway Company, which charged him with
smoking tobacco in one of their carriages at the Cannon-
street station, such carriage not being one appropriated for
smoking.
A clerk from the office of the solicitors to the South
Eastern I'ailway Company appeared in support of the
complaint and • solicitor attended for the defendant.
It &ppm, ed that on the 4th of November, uppoono the
snivel of the 6.63 train from Greenwich, at C'
street station,' the defendant wee smoking • cigar in •
third-class carriage, which wee not a smoking carnage.
Be was asked to desist, or to go into a compartment where
smoking wee permitted • but he refused to leave the
carriage. and laid down its agar. When the train arrived
at Elm:limn he was again seen to be smoking, and the
ticket collector was directed to accompany the train to
Charing-cram and watch the defendant_ ; and when the
train arrived Ls bad the cigar still in his mouth. The
defendant was than asked to give his name and outdraw,
but be refused. pushed the collector aside, and told him
he was in a burry. and tried to get away, but a metropo-
litan police unstable was called in, and the defendant
was taken to the station-master's office, where he gave
his name and addrws. A summons had been previously
served upon him, but he appeared to have taken no notice
of it, and it was therefore necessary to issue a second sum-
mons agabut Lim.
On behalf of the defendant an attempt was male to
show that there was not time for him to get out of the
carriage he was in and go to • smoking compartment,
and also that he had not smoked the cigar after he was
requested to desist by the officer ; but both these sugmis-
tLeis were positively negatived by tho evidence of the
officers.

The Lord Mayor said. it appeared to him that the de-
fendant bad ,hosrn no dispo-ition to conform to the regu-
lations of the company, and that he had wilfully broken
the provisions of the act of parliament. He should there-
fore tine him the full penalty of 405., and also order him
to pay the cwts of both summonses.
The amount of the tine and meta was at onoo pail, and
the defendant left the mutt.
