Anested.-Willam Mlburn was arrested by
Constable Moody on Saturday night last, for
| riotous and disorderly conduct in our Streets
From the evidence ELECTED on the hearing before
| the Mayor on Sunday morning, it appeared that
| Alilburn, in company with seven others, wentto
the hotel of Dennis Gallagher, in Market street,
| below Front and created so much disturbance
in his house that they were ordered to leave
the premises, which they refused to do. Mr..
Gallagher then threatened to send for police
officer and have them arrested, and finally did
send his iather-in-law, an aged, decrepid man.
He had scarcely got out the door, before Mil
burn ran out and struck the old man, causing
him 10 bleed very proiusely. A short time
after the gang left, and Milburn went on board
the canal boat HGOOd Intent and endeavored
to hide himself in the cabin. Shortly after,
Constable Moody arrived, and descended into
the cabin in quest of the rowdy. Whilst ell
deavoring to arrest him, Moody had quite
fight with Milburn and another one ofthe party
in which that officer had his lip cut, but using
his mace pretty freely about Milburn's face,
finally succeeded in getting him to the city cells,
He was fined $500 for the assault on Consta-
BILE Moody, and like amount for the assault on
the old gentleman above mentioned.

TO Tie Police Of Tie First and Third Wdrds.-l
We want the police Of the First and Third
Wards to pay little attention to the corner OF
Fourth and West Streets and see il they can do
anything towards abating one of the greatest
nuisances in the city, viz The practice of sum
borhood, enjoying little too much freedom in
throwing stones and balls through the neigh
bors' windows with impunity. 1t is high time |
these nuisances were abatcd, and if the police 1
have not time TO attend to il we will take the \
matter on our own shoulders and turn police
and Mayor too, for the time being, and make |
the arrest and inllict thepunishment both orr
self. Between that most respectable class of
animals called Bommers, who are eternally be-
seging our premises, and the boys, who are l
licensed to break our windows, we have n hap
py time at the corner of Fourth and West. We /
will see what the police will do.
