The bands were called off on both sides soon after
the final result of the poll, and no breach of the peace
was apprehended 'when our fir.al dispatch left last
night; but serious riots took place at Farnham and
Godalming after the closing of the poll on Tuesday
night. The " Blue" version is, that a lot of " Roughs"
from Guildford and Godalming, in the interest of the
Conservative candidates, finding the result of the poll
extremely favourable to Colonel Challoner, went over

The infuriated populace then commenced an attackmon
upon the windows of the Busb, and smashed all those
upon the ground floor and many of those in the upper
storeys. It was fortunate for the peace of the town that
the " Roughs" did not again venture out, or, in the ex-
cited temper of the townspeople, lives might have been
log t. As it was, several persons received severe injuries
on both sides, and it was rumoured that one or two
lives were lost, but this report is without foundation.
The police were sent round to close the public-houses,
and tranquillity was restored for the rest of the evening.
Yesterday morning it was agreed by the friends of all
the candidates to withdraw their bands of music and
banners, and the friends of the Conservative candidates
having sent away what the Farnham people called the
" hired mob," who bad come over to create a riot, the
pulling went on very quietly during yesterday. Very
few voters presented themselves at the opening of the
poll, and up to halfepast ten scarcely half a dozen per-
sona had voted. A large concourse of persona assem-
bled in the streets to view the broken windows of the
Bush, and the " Blues" of the lower class wore hanging
1 about in great force, prepared to resent any interference
with their right to vote for the Libergt and Free-trade
candidate. The town of Farnham will be remembered
as the birthplace, residence, and grave of William Cob-
bette which may account for its being a stronghold of
Liberalism in that part of West Surrey.
At Godalt, sling disturbances of an equally serious cha-
racter broke out after the close of the poll on Tuesday
night. The Liberal candidates were here again in a
majority throughout the day. • Soon after four, some
low fellows commenced an' attack upon the "Blue"
band. The popular feeling being strongly in favour of
Colonel Chslioner, here as will as Farnham the crowd
set upon the "Roughs," and a desperate combat en-
sued, in which bludgeons were liberally used on both

oGodalming (Mr. Foster) was preparing to read the
Riot that, but being unsupported by a sufficient police
force no beneficial effects seemed likely to follow.
Here, as at Farnham, the " Blact" were victorious, and
drove the " Roughs" into the yard of the Angel Inn,
the Conservative house. An attack was then made
upon the windows of the Angel, which were almost
all broken. Mr. Henry Hackahaw, an active member
of Colonel Challoner's committee, ordered the "Blue"
band oat of the town, and walked at the head of a
procession, with the view of drawing off the populace
sworn in as special constables,
from the scene of mischief. The attempt was success-
ful, and peace was restored. A number of the trades-

Mr. Blanshard end Mr. Shaw prosecuted, and Mr.
Bliss, Q.C., and Mr. Overend defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the deceased was a widow, having
several children, and residing in a cottage at Skelman-
thew, near Mewsbury. The prisoner, who is a la-
bourer, lived at the same place, and it appeared had
established en improper intimacy with her. On Sunciey
night, the 25th of April, he called upon the deceased
and proposed to her to go out and take a walk. To
eldest son of the deceased opposed her going out, &s
did the other children; but she contrived to soothe them
by promises and haltpeace, and putting on her bonnet
and shawl, went cut with the prisoner, which Was
the lest time she was seen alive. This was about
half-past eleven o'clock, the prisoner having paved

JULY 21.
(Bafore Zr. JUstiCO WIGHTMAN.)
This mf.',rning was fixed for the trial of .John Snaps
and John Smith for the garotte" murder of William
'Francis Mapp!etherpe, at Buil, on the I.th of June.
The gre.nd jury throW cut the bill, but Mr. Granger,
Q.C., on behalf of the prosecution, determined to pro-
ceed on the Coroner's inquisition.
This morning Mr. GRANGER applied to have the case
tootPonect to the next assizes, a 51. note of the Hull
Bamkino cropany, of which the deceased was robbed,
il4yir:g teen traced, and there was every reason to be-
lieve that it would be brought home to the prisoners'
possession.
Mr. DEADSLEY, on the part of Snape, opposed the ap-
plication; as also did Mr. 6EY3IOUR, on the part of the
other prisoner.
Mr. Justice WIGHTII,IAN said, as the evidence which
formed the ground of the application had only been dis•
covered lest Saturday, ho thought that, upon the whole,
for the purpose of justice, the trial ought to be postponed
for the next gaol delivery.
This case concluded the assizes this morning.
