other article., of the value of lbi., the property of Mr.
James A. Howell, whip mounter, oarrrying on business at
No. 3, Bridle-lane, troldeu-spare, and Joh* Canies, a
tailor, who is known by the cognomen of the " Broken-

shop having been entered en three different omissions in

'professional thief—he communicated with tho police at

Much ill-feeling has existed for some time
betwei u the liberals at Cradley-heath and the tortes at
Old-hill, in comequesimot Mr. Barn and his party having
strongly opposed, and succeeded in preventing, the adop-
tion of the Local Board Act at Cra&ey-heath. This and
other minor causes have made the Cradley-heath
people stand up for the liberal candidates, and
the torts at Old-hill have stack to Messrs. Menial-
Ingram and Smith-Child, the conservative candidates.
About le o'clock • mob of roughs was stated to be on
the road from Dudley, sent, it was supposed, by the con-
servatives, to annoy the Cradley Heath people ; but very
soon a band was organised to meet them, and
the Dudley " lambs," instead of taking the place
by force, as they anticipated, were mot by a party of the
enemy, ready to give them battle. As soon as the .'lambs”
saw this they held counsel, and determined to give their
:rnta a shower of stones, which they did with groat
eZe hurling Rowley-lag stones among the C.alloy
people, who, nothing dimaayed, made a gallant charge
on the intruders. and • hand-to-hand fight ensued, which
ended in the " lamb" getting totally routed, and
making their be way back to Dudley, many of them
being sadly knocked about the need and face.
The Cradley pimple, though many were badly injured with
the stones, &e., were flashed with the victory they bad
obtained, made their way up to Old Hill, where, meeting
with a lot of their pponents, moompanied by a party of
policemen, near the -hill Schools, another despe-
rate{ encounter took place. Near the schools where the
parties met there is • steep hill, and the Cradley people,
being at the top, had the advantage. The policemen were
soon seet rollingdown the lull, andthem being plentyof dirty
water and slough hereabouts, it seamed to be the object of
both parties to get their oponents into the water and be-
smear their faces with the-slough. The roughs were now
considerably augmented by large parties from Hales Owen
and the Lye, and several severe fights took place.
All was now in such confusion that a large detachment
of dragoons, who were known to have arrived at
Brierly-hill from Birmingham, were sent for, and the
roughs thought they should dispose of them as easily as
they did the policemen, but they soon found oat their
mistake. The sabres of the dragoons acted like magic,
and the rioters made a hasty retreat. Several of them
were badly cut ; one man received a severe cut on the
arm, and another had ono nide of the brim of his hat cut
clean off. The neighbourhood was in estate of the greatest
excitement during the day. Business was suspended.
Towards the afternoon another band of row;hi arrived
from Dudley, and gaco out that they were special c
rn-
stables ; hut it was soon found out that they were not,
and a field being near at hand, the Dudley mac challenged
the Cradley uen to fight : so about tell went into the
field, and a terrible fight ensued, the policemen quietly
looking tn. 'The fight was razing in full vigour when OUT
parcel ices (let patched, and everythina was in the greatail
