POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

BOW-STREET.

THE LATE SCANDALOUS OUTRAGE ON FEMALES.—The
prisoner " James Smith," was this morning again placed at
the bar before Mr. Henry, to undergo another examination,
It will be recollected that on the last occasion the
magistrate expressed a desire that the tumost exertions
might be made to discover the real name and position
of the prisoner, as the name he gave on being first taken into
custody, " James Smith," he admitted was an assumed one.
Mr. Pollard, from the office of the Solicitor to the
Treasury, attended for the prosecution, and the prisoner
was defended by Mr. Lewis, jun.

Mr. Pollard said his worship would remember that the
case had been remanded to afford the police an opportunity
of identifying the prisoner. Since that day, Inspector
Mackenzie, whose labours throughout the case had been
most unremitting, had discovered the rr quired information,
and had summoned two witnesses by whom it would: be
shown, beyond all doubt, who and what the prisoner was.
Other witnesses were present, but the evidence of one
would of course be sufficient.
Mr. John Page was then examined. He said—l am
superintendent of the Surrey constabulary, residing at
Dorking. I know the prisoner perfectly well. His name
is Arthur Robert Willoughby Wade. He resides at Dork-
ing, and he is adjutant of the 3d Surrey Rifle Volunteers.
Mr. Henry (to witness) —Does the prisoner hold any
commission in the army ?
Witness—l don't know, your worship.
Mr. Henry—Has he ever been in her Majesty's service ?
Witness—l have heard so, but I cannot say for certain.
Mr. Henry—Are you acquainted with his hand•
writing ?

Witness—l have seen him write, but I cannot speak with
certainty to it.

The letter which the prisoner wrote to Colonel Cole at
the police-station when he was first apprehended was then
handed to witness.

Mr. Henry— Do you know the handwriting of the letter ?
I may tell you before answering, witnesses are not required
to swear positively to handwriting. They are only asked
to express a belief.
Witness—l can only say it resembles the prisoner's vety
much.

By Mr. Lewis—l have never seen the prisoner write.
I have only seen the battalion orders written by him as
posted abut the town and at the Lion Hotel, Dorking.
Mr. Henry—That is scarcely enough, but the point is not
of great importance.
Mr. Pollard—That is the case for the prosecution. I have
now, sir, to ask you to commit the prisoner under the 24th
and 25th of Vic., c. 100, sec. 49, 52, and 54 ; the penalty
incurred being 14 years' penal servitude.
Mr. Lewis—With reference to the more serious of the
charges against the prisoner, I will on'y say that I shall
have an answer to them at the proper time, if you, sir, in-
tend to send the case for trial. With reference to the minor
charges the prisoner will reserve his defence.
The prisoner was then fully committed to Newgate for
trial upon each of the six charges preferred against him.
Mr. Henry inquired if the Solicitor to the Crown had re-
ceived any communication in reference to a previous charge
of the same nature that had been preferred against the pri-
soner at Marlborough .street about three years ago.
Police-constable, 325 A, said—On Oct. 30 he had the
prisoner 'in charge for indecently assaulting a married
woman. The warrant was issued by Mr. Beadon, the
magistrate then sitting. The name the prisoner then gave
was "Frederick James," and said that he lived in Totten-
ham-court•road, but, on inquiry, it turned out to be•n false
address.

Mr. Lewis objected to the particulars of the charge being
stated.

Mr. Henry (to witness)—l told you when you were here
last week to put yourself in communication with the soli-
citor of the Treasury. Why did you not do so ?
Witness—l have been in communication with Mr. Mac-
kenzie, and have been under his direction ever since. I
have made every effort to find the original warrant, but
have not yet succeeded in doing so.
Inspector Mackenzie said he served the female by whom
the complaint was made on that occasion with a summons
to attend here to-day, and she is now in court.
Mr. Pollard then called the witness—She said her name
was Ann Graham. She resided at Bayswater, and her
husband was a sweep. I preferred a charge against the
prisoner at Marlborough-street Police-court. A warrant
was issued, but I consented to settle the case on receiving £5
Mr. Lewis contended this could not be used in evidence
against the prisoner. _ _

Mr, liwnry said when the constable was here, he said
£25 were paid.

The constable satd he believed some of the persons con-
nected with the case received a portion of the money. The
amount paid on the occasion was £25.
Mr. Lewis said he wished it to be distinctly understood
that on that occasion he was not concerned for the prisoner,
and that he knew nothing about the payment of any money.
None of their firm were engaged in the matter.
The inquiry then closed, no application being, made for
bail.

Colonel Cole attended, and had an interview with the
prisoner in his cell, but he was not examined.
The prisoner exhibited the utmost indifference throughout
the whole proceedings.

Owing to insufficiency of votes fresh elections will take
place in eight departments—the Aisne, Charente, Gironde,
Haut-Rhin, Lozere, Nord Rhone, and Seine-Inf4rieure.
Those elections are fixed for the 14th and 15th of June. In
the whole of France there was only one instance of a double
return—that of M. Havin at Paris and in the Manche,

THE LISBURN ELECTION COMMITTEE.

The select committee appointed by the House of
Commons to inquire into the allegation that Mr.
John Dogherty Barbour was unduly returned for
Lisbon at the last election met yesterday for the
first time. The committee consists of the following
members:—Mr. Evans (chairman), Mr. Booth, Mr.
W. E. Forster, Viscount Enfield, and Viscount
Curzon. The petition was read, alleging bribery,
intimidation, &c.
Sir F. Slade and Mr. Cooke appeared for the peti-

tioners ; Mr. Phinn, Q,C„ and Mr. Coleridge for
the sitting member.
Sir F. Slade, in opening the ease for the peti

tioners, reverted to several cases wherewith he said
he should prove his case; he would not go into the
details as they would be laid before the committee
seriattnz. He would mention the case of Thomas
Jeffyrson, who was seen by the sitting member on
the 10th Feb. last, and was promised by him doub!e
any amount the rival candidate might offer. Mr.
Young, a spirit merchant, said to Jeffyrson, " 8.,,r-
-bour does not care a button what he does if you
will vote for him." He then offered him (Jeffyrson)
£4O, by marking 40 on the palm of his hand—a
language which, although not audible, was very
expressive.
Mr. Cooke called Mr. James Richard Naber,
from the Crown-office, who produced the return
for the laet election. The poll-books were also pro-
duced.
Mr. Phinn, Q.C,, said his learned friend must
first of all prove to the committee that this was a
bona fide petition, or else he had no locus standi.
Mr. Charles Murray Allen was then sworn. He
proved witnessing the signing of the petition by
the petitioners. Mr. More was also prasent when
the petition was signed.
Samuel Thomas Cumming was the first witness
called. He said—l occupy lands and carry on the
business of a farmer at Lisburn. About eleven days

before the election John Lovery, whom I knew to
belong to Mr. Barbour's party, came to my house,
and said he wanted to speak to me. He said he
would give me £lO if I would vote for Barbour.
He said he was going to Henry Major, but would
be back again. He came back and took my mother
and wife into an adjoining room, and as I afterwards
learnt, he gave them some money. Ido not know
what that was. John Lovery was with my wife and
mother for about 15 minutes. When he came out he
told me he wanted me to go with him. He then told
me he had given some money for me to go along
with him. He took me to Hilden, to the factory of
Messrs. William Barbour and Sons. We went in
a car, There was another man in the car with us,
a man-servant to Mr. Henry Major. When we
reached the factory he took me into an office where
there were a number of voters. Amongst them
were William Brady, Charles Maguire, Jas. Turtle,
Michael Wood, and Robert Miller. They were
singing, dancing, eating, and fiddling, which they
kept up all night. The eatables they had were
brought to us in carts. They were the carts belong
ing to Messrs. Barbour and Sons. Brown, Chapman,
and Gwinn, the clerks to Messrs. Barbour, came
in after supper. There were no beds there. I

slept on a form. A talk was raised as to my right to
vote by those present. I spoke to Air. T. Barbour,
and I asked him to let me go home, as I had no
right to vote. He said " I was well enough where
I was." A man named Johnson said he was not
well and wanted to go home, but they would not let
him. A man named Grissy was carried away by
force by his wife. The place where we were Was
guarded at night by men who had loaded guns and
who kept watch in the yard. Some of us tried to
get out of the window, but they would not let us,
and they nailed it up. That was about eight feet
above the ground. The window was nailed up by

the parties who served out the meat and drink. I
saw a man named Young, a voter, in the office. We
were kept in that office till the day before the poll-
ing. I told them that my vote was no good. They
said I should poll, "No matter what the devil was
the consequence." When we left there we were

taken to the Queen's Arms Hotel to the committee.
I was placed in a room at the back of the house.
That was on Friday, the 20th. I remained at the
green's Arms till the next morning. There were
between fifty and sixty voters there. There we
had singing and dancing and drinking. There
were no ladies there. We had whisky and porter.
I saw Mr. Smith, lawyer, there. I saw Mr. Robert
Barbour there, too, and I spoke to him, and said I
wanted to go home, as I had a sick mare I wanted
to attend to, He said he wanted me to vote for his
brother. I told him I had not changed my clothes
all the time I had been detained. He sent for some
clothes for me. He bought me a pair of trousers,
waistcoat, and several other articles of clothing,
which I put on. John Lovery was there, placing
the voters in two's to go to the poll, to" bully" as it
is called. There were soldiers there to keep the line
for people going to the poll. I said to John Lovery,
I was of no use, He replied that he would " knock
my eye out." At the hustings I was asked to swear
that I was a person entitled to vote. I said tbeoath
was too hard for me, so I would not take it. (Laugh-
ter.) When I got home my mother gave me £lO,
which John Lovery had given her.
Cross-examined by Mr. Phinn, Q.C.—I have
known John Lovery for many years. I was never
canvassed by the otherside. It was half-past eleven
o'clock in the day when I was forced up the street.
I did not cry out, because I thought no one would
come to my assistance. I did not go to any magistrate
to complain of my being detained at Hilden for

11 days. The first person I told was Mr. M‘Lean,
an attorney's clerk. I got him to write a letter for
me for compensation for the loss of my mare, which
had died during my detainment, but I got no
answer.

Robt. Cumming, brother to the last witness, gave
corroborative evidence.

Cross-examined by Mr. Phinn, Q.C.-1 did not
go to a magistrate about the detention of mybrother.
Mrs. Anne Cumming, wife of Thomas Cummirg,
deposed to Lavery paying her mother-in-law £lO.
Mr. Joha Pennington, solicitor, was then called,
sworn, and examined by Sir F. Slade—He said he
resided at Lisburn. He had in his possession a
decree against John Macintyre, who was at that
time an elector of Lisburn. Witness knew he was
busying himself in the election for Mr. Barbour,
He told witness, he was engaged on the part
of Mr. Barbour. The money Macintyre owed
him was about £29. As he would not pay, he
(witness) had him arrested. Mr. Brown came to
witness, and said he would settle with him for
Macintyre. Mr, Brown is, he believed, the chief
clerk of Messrs. Barbour. Upon Brown settling
with him Macintyre was released.
By Mr. Phinn, Q.C.—This transaction was quite
open. The money was paid in his (witness's) office.
James Bannister was then called, sworn, and
examined by Sir F. Slade—He said he voted for
Mr. Verner. Mr. John Dogherty Barbour called
upon witness and asked him for his vote. He did
not give a direct or satisfactory answer. He said
Mr. Major would " be as big with him as any one
else." He did not make any promise. A day or two
after, Robert Barbour called upon him and asked
him for his vote. He still refused. He told Bar-
bour he had had an offer of £5O. Barbour then
said hP would give him £6O, or any, sum witness
liked to name.
The committee then adjourned.

CRYSTAL PALACE,—To-morrow (Saturday) being
the Queen's birthday a special display of all the great foun-
tains will be given at 2 o'clock. The concert at 3 will take

MURDER AT OLDIIAM.—A very serious trim e
was committed at Oldham on Tuesday morning by a cotton
spinner, named George Wright. It is stated that he quar-
relled on the preceding evening with a person named Bates,
and feeling unable to cope with him in a fair fight, he met
Bates on the following morning and felled him with a heavy
stick. Bates was struck on the head, and died during the
afternoon from his injuries. Wright has absconded.
CANADIAN MAIL._The Royal mail steamship
Norwegian,
Capt. Dl'Master, sailed yesterday from Liver-
pool for Quebec with the Canadian mails. Besides the mails
she took out a large and valuable cargo, and had between
50 and 60 cabin and a large number of steet age passengers.
