As the law stood previous TO the last Session oil the
Legislature, the perpetrators OF snch outIages were
only liable for simple assault and battery and Tor con-
yctioa TO- that Oense judgment could be suspended
or simple fine imposed. This penalty the hired Po'

violence yrOn eector on the day of election. And
it imposes the like penalty upon any officer who ne
elects to make arrest Of person who assais an
eector with personal violence if such violence is
committed IL his presence. This Law is a salutary
one and is mach needed in this city. II will prevent
such dsgraoefll scenes as compelled TO wit
ness al the polls in November last, whal policemen
stood quietly by, and citizens bruag assaulted
without interfering with or attempting to arrest the
perpetrators.
This act was passed to reach such cases. The dis
