No. 434. Second Week in Quarter. Registered for Transmission Abroad. Price One Penny. POLICE In the Report of the Police Committee it was recommended, provided it could be legally done, that an additional Constable be stationed at Troutbeck, the Fishery Conservators having agreed to pay the winter six months' cost, provided the County paid the other six, during which time an additional constable was absolutely necessary in consequence of the great influx of excursionist passengers. The Committee also submitted to the Court the propriety of strongly representing to the railway companies the great amount of cost entailed on the county by the drunkenness of the excursionist, and the fairness of their contributing to the expense of otherwise preventing the nuisance. MR. BALME said that in summer they were invaded by thousands of barbarians in a state of drunkenness. If the railway companies would carry out their own bye-laws, and not take drunken passengers, the difficulty would be overcome. MR. DUNNE (Chief Constable) said that these drunken men should be left behind, and if they had to pay an additional fare to get home again, it would be a caution to them. The legality of such an appointment as the report suggested to a Committee, and the Chairman was requested to represent to the London and North Western and Furness Railway Companies the importance of carrying out their bye-laws relating to drunken passengers. LUNACY. The report of the Lunacy Committee stated that there were 172 male and 136 female patients for Cumberland; 37 and 39 respectively for Westmorland; and of private patients, 17 of each sex. The mortality had been low. THE GAOL OFFICERS. The visiting Justices reported that the services of MR. RIDGE, the governor of the gaol, who was only appointed from sessions to sessions, would now terminate. In the case of MR. A. H. RIDGE, it seemed reasonable that he should receive his salary for the ensuing quarter; and it was also recommended that MRS. RIDGE should be allowed to remain in the governor's house during the alterations in the gaol. The attendance too of the surgeon would not be necessary. The report and recommendations were adopted, and MR. HOPES said that MR. BIDGE had fulfilled the duties of governor in a very satisfactory manner since his father's death, and it would be open to him as to anyone else to apply. Twelve months would pass over before the office would have to be filled, and in the meantime he would gain both age and experience. MISCELLANEOUS. MR. DUNNE handed an application from MR. EDWARD HEELIS, as representing SIR HENRY TUFTON, the high-sheriff elect for the ensuing year, requesting that the police should be allowed to act as javelin men. MR. DUNNE said that this was the practice in many places. The high sheriff would pay the expenses. He would draw men from Kirkby Stephen, Orton, and the adjoining district. -- Agreed to. CAPTAIN BRAITHWAITE-WILSON said that he did not think due deference was paid to their Chairman of Quarter Sessions during the trial of prisoners, and he therefore gave notice of motion that all questions should be submitted through the chairman and handed up in writing. to be continued...................... ________________________________________________________________
