In the South Ward Mr J P Wiiliams was the presiding officer, and in the West Ward, Mr D Morgan. There were many hundreds standing on the street opposite the Town Hall on Saturday awaiting the result of the polling. The coundng began abou- 8.15. The first ward taken was the North Ward, and a great deal of time ws taken np in getting the correct figures, as some of the candidates ran v. ry closely on each other. The figures w^re read rut by Mr Evans, the returning officer, from the balcony of the Town Hall, and were received with tremendous cheers. The next ward was West, which did not occupy as much time. The result in this ward was again received with great cheering. The South Ward came next, and here again the figures ran very el(sely- 43, 44, 45, 46, and 47. The Conserva- tives proved victorious in this ward, and obtained three out of the four seats, with Loni Henry Vane tempest heading the poll. This encouraged some of their supporters to bring out torches which they had prepaired. This was no agreeable to their opponents, and a rush was made on the torch-bearers, and the torches were captured and extinguished. Things at this time were at their worst and locked rather threatening for a few minutes, but nothing very serious to(k place, and the riiin coming on the streets were soon cleared. As soon as the rain stopped, how- ever, the crowd a seinbled again, and waited in front of the Hall in spite of the rain and the cold until the result of the poll m the election of Guardians was maele known. This was given at twenty minutes past twelve, and it was evident the favourites had gone in. Toichfs were soon lit, a procession was formed, and the streets were paraded until the torches were com* pletely burnt uut.
