THE ELECTION RIOTS.

KIDnERMINSTER.

We are glad to learn that although the injuries sus-
tained by Mr. Lowe through the brutal and disgraceful
attack made on him on Saturday are serious, he is
progressing satisfactorily towards recovery. On Monday
four of the rioters, captured by the police, after the Riot
Act was read on Saturday night, were brought up before
the mayor and magistrates at the Town hall. Their names
are John Hayes, John Cook, James Frank, and Mr,Slate.
The two former are charged with assaulting the police
in the discharge of their duty, and the two latter with
refusing to disperse after the Riot Act had been read.
Mr. Best appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Crowther
for the defence. The magistrates met at eleven o'clock.
and were in consultation for an hour and a half as to the
best mode of procedure. Evidence was then taken as
to the four accused, and it was stated that one of the
policemen injured had had his nose broken, and received
other injuries, which it was feared would end in lock-jaw
or erisypelas, and probably death. It appearing that
Frank and Slate had not offered any violent resistance to
the officers, they were ordered to be discharged, the two
others being remanded to Friday, by which day it is fully
expected that some of the ringleaders will be in custody.
The police also expect to be enabled by that time
to ascertain who were the few respectable tradesmen of
the town by whom the rioters are said to have been urged
on to the outrage. The authorities have apprehension of
renewed disturbances, and the Hussars telegraphed for on
Saturday, and who arrived in the course of the night, are
to remain. The town remains in a state of considerable
ferment,- and the principal streets are still occupied
with loiterers. Rum Ours giving very different and
varied complexions to the events of Saturday
are afloat, which it would not be desirable to
repeat here. It is stated that at the hustings, just
bef"re the retirement of Mr. Lowe and his friends, Mr.
Alfred Talbot, one of Mr. Boycott's chief supporters,
addressing Mr. Lowe and Mr. Pardoe, his proposer,
offered to lend his aid in conducting them in safety into
the town, but that Mr. Pardoe, indignantly, and—if the
language said to have been used was employed—not very
conrteously refused the proffered aid. It is believed had
the offer been accepted, no violence would have been done
to Mr. Lowe ' • but it is quite certain had not that gentle..
man made good his retreat in to the house in Bewdley street,
he would, in all probability, have been murdered by the
infuriated mob.
