THE STAFFORD ELECTION PETITION.

'ln the nutter of the Stafford election petition j4afer-
day, further e'idence cva.s given of treating r_t public-
houses where committee-rooms had been hired for Colong

Mr. Justice Blackburn said it bad been proved that
there had been a good deal of drinking, at rublic-houses,
and that many of these puLlic-houses had been hired
by Colonel Meller's agent. The question would be
whether the agents of Colonel Meller were responsible for
the treating.

Mr. Giffard, Q.C., said he was not instructed to deny
that something of the sort took place, but he denied that
Colonel Meller or his agents had anything to do with it.

BETTING PROSECUTION AT HULL

The authorities throughout the country seem suddenly
to have commenced a raid on betting men, and on specula-
tions in connection with racing. In London and
throughout the provinces the law is being applied.
On Monday, at the Hull Police court, before T. H.
Travie, Esq., stipendiary magistrate, information was
laid against George lartley, landlord of the Bull and Sun
Inn, Mytongate, for not maintaining good order and rule
in his house, by allowing betting therein. The evidence
of detective officers went to slim that en Wednesday -last
they, while on duty in private clothes, in Mytotgate,
observed a man of the name of Tent go up to a gentle.
man in the street and ask him what he was
betting on. Suspicions being excited, the officers
went into the dram-shop, where they found about
eighteen men, several of whom had their books in their
hands ; they asked if Mr. Hartley was in the dram-shop,
and the man at the bar answered in the negative. Pre-
vious to that the officers had seen several entries made by
the men in the dram-shop ; and others put their hands
into their pockets and handed to the man something, who
made the entry. It was further stated by the officers that
two-thirds of the men who went into the dram-shop bad
nothing to drink. His Worship fined the defendant 40s.
and costs.
