INTIMIDATION.-A solicitor of Devonport has ad.
dressed a letter to the officers of the dockyard there to

that many of the officers of the dock-yard have can-
vassed voters in the dock-yard, in order to influence
their votes at the ensuing election of Councillors, that
he will use every legitimate means to carry into effect
the Admiralty order that Was issued expressly to pre-
vent this sort of intimidation, which seems, of course,-
to be chiefly exercised against the Liberal voters.
