A PATTERN LEAGUE LEGISLATOR,

The spirit of the League may be judged from the follow-
ing passage in the speech delivered at the election at
Bolton, by one of the successful candidates, Mr. Barnes :

" I go to Parliament," says this worthy, " only for
destruction. Your present rulers are Jews and robbers.
Let their measures be what they may, good or bad,
they shall have nothing but my unceasing hate and
opposition. If they offer to reimpose the corn laws,
I shall most determinately oppose them. If they
are desirous to carry out free trade, I shall notallow them.
I will do nothing but oppose, thwart, obstruct the legis.
lation of the country—because 1 will do nothing but
drive the ministry from office."

Surely if ever a man was a fitting candidate for Bedlam,
it is this precious specimen of the choice of a Bolton
constituency !

YESTERDAY

_...r.r ROBBERY.—In our last we gave an account of
a robbery committed upon an Irish catt!e-dealer of the
name of John Armstrong, in Clement-street, on the
previous Saturday night. The evidence of the complainant
as to the mode in which the robbery was committed yea

again gone into, and the identity Of the prisoners fg;
proved by him. Mr. Owen and Mr. Chilton, who ap-
peared for the prisoners, contended that the evidence was
not sufficient to justify a committal. They bad evidence
to prove an alibi, but declined in that stage to produce it.
—Mr. Clough applied for a further remand. Ile had
written a certain letter, to which he had

received a reply.—Mr. Owen strongly objectea
remand being granted.—Mr. Clough said the
was of very great public importance, and req,.
strictest and fullest investigation.—The magistrates
granted the remand prayed for.

IMPUDENT STREET, ROBBERY.--TWO person,
Bernard 112'Quiggan and Henry Cain, were brought
a charge of assaulting and robbing James Butler, in Vaux-
hall-road, on Saturday evening. It appeared that on Sa-
turday evening, a little before twelve o'clock, the com-
plainant, who is a porter in the service of the London and
North-Western Railway Company, was on his way home
along Vauxhall-road, when M'Quiggan seized hirn by the
throat and demanded money. He took out 3d. and gave
him that, saying, it was all he had. The other prisoner
then attempted to pick his pocket, but finding nothing,
they left him, one placing the complainant's hat on his
head. They were apprehended shortly after with the hat
in their possession. Committed for trial.
