IN RE THE BOROUGH OF SCARBOROUGH.

Mr. Bayliss applied for a quo warranto as to why
the election of Mr. Alfred Joh❑ Ingwell as a town
councillor should not be set aside on the following
grounds. It appeared that at the last ward
election 281 votes were registered for Mr.
Ingwell, and 279 for a Dr. Jackson, and
the reason why he had asked for this rule was,
that there had been a personation amongst the
voters for Mr. Ingwell of two persons who had died
in 1866, and another who was at sea. He had
furnished complete affidavits upon this and all the
other points.

Mr. Justice Blackburn—ls there no other

point ?

Mr. Bayliss—Yes, there is the case of a John
Inskip, who voted for the north and the south,
too, which was also illegal.

Mr. Justice Blackburn—Cannot they vote for
both wards ?

Mr. Bayliss—No, my lord ; such voting wi
vitiate both votes.
The rule granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day,

INIARLBOROUGH-STREE T.

ATTACK ON THE POLICE.—IMPRISONMENT WITH•
OUT FlNES.—Michael Whorty, au Irish labourer,
was charged before Tyrwhitt with assaulting police-
constable Lane, 216 D, and Surry, 30 D.
Police constable Lane said—l was on duty yes-
terday afternoon in Oxford-street, between Duke-

street and Orchard-street, when 1 saw the prisoner
and about 20 or 30 others, all of whom were snore
or less drunk, standing together on the pavement.
I requested them to go away, when the prisoner
said, " We will not go till we think proper, and we
will let you chaps see that you can't do as you like."
I told him that if he did not move I should be
obliged to take him into custody, and he then made
use of disgusting language, upon which I
took him into custody. After going about 200
yards the prisoner succeeded in releasing him-
self, and kicked me on the legs, and struck
me in the face several times, and 00 another con-
stable coming to my assistance the prisoner also
kicked him, and a crowd then got round us, and we
were pelted with stones. I can hardly walk from
the kicking the prisoner gave me. It required four
of us to get the prisoner to the station, and on the
way ono of the prisoners came up and whistled, and
then we were pelted with stones by thu crowd, and
30 D had his head cut open.
➢lr. Tyrwhitt—He (the prisoner and his com-
panions) formed part of the procession to the park.
Lane—The prisoner and his companions had come
from the park, and had possession of the pavement,
so that no one could pass without going into the
road.

Prisoner— Was I drunk or sober ?
Lane—Drunk, and you made use of very bad
language.

Police-constable Surry, 30 D.—l was on duty
yesterday afternoon in Oxford-street, and saw 216
D surrounded by a crowd, and no one could pass.
I went up and asked the prisoner why he did not
go away as 216 D requested him to do, when he
made use of a most filthy expression. 216 D then
took him, and after going a short distance he struck
216 D several times in the face and kicked. I then
seized hold of him, when he kicked me several times
in the lower part of the body. While holding the
prisoner by the collar one of the prisoner's com-
panions from behind gave me a severe blow
on the back of the hand, and on our getting into
Wigmore-street the crowd again pelted us with
stones, and a large stone struck me on the back of
the head, cutting it and causing it to bleed, and I
was obliged to go home in consequence.
Prisoner--I went to the meeting in the park, and
met two young men, and went into a public-
house at half-past two. On leaving the
house when they were closing we went
across the road and met some more chaps just
after coming out of another public-house. Thero
were a good many of us standing there at the time,
and the police wanted us to go on, and took more
notice of me than the others, and pulled me about;
but I was not drunk, as they say.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are one of those violent fel-
lows about London ready for any possible mischief
which could be found. You will be committed for
fourteen days for each assault. There will be no
fine at all, and you will have hard labour.

BOW-STREET.

Anne Munt, a decrepit-looking old woman, was
brought up in custody of Police-sergeant F 13,
charged with begging, at the instance of Woodup,
who, knowing her of old, wished to avoid any
altercation which might arise if he took her himself.
The prisoner was sent to prison for one month.
