the Blackburn municipal elections is dead, and the death

noon amongst the rioters in the locality of the Darwen-
street polling-booths. After the military had left this
part of the town to quell a disturbance in another portion
of it, stone-throwing was resorted to, and a general riot
ensued. The deceased was seen to throw a stone, which
struck Police-constable Critchley on the head, and felled
him to the ground. Police-constable Ramsbottom,
seeing this, jumped over the barriers of the polling-booth,
and struck the deceased a blow on the head with a trun•
cheon, and felled him to the ground. Ramsbottom was
himself then knocked down, and was taken to the police-
station in a weak condition. What became of G allaghet
is not known, but at eight o'clock on Tuesday night he
was so ill that a surgeon was sent for, and at one o'clock
he died of the injuries sustained on Monday. An inquest
on the body will be held. The name of the other man
who is dangerously injured is Patrick Lavelle, and he lies
at the infirmary in a critical condition.
