A DE/FICOLTT which has arisen relative to the

the subject of a discussion. The only question was
whether the fixtures Mr. Sneer had erected were of

VIMMON further asked what steps had been

"THE DORSET BLACKBIRDS."

The letter, the Maxon replied, had been answered

Mr. Bunsen asserted it was a private meter, and
as such had been treated by his Worship.
Mr. VERNON could not help what the Mayor did.
He might see fit to treat • public communication as
private, but it would not make it so any the more for
that; and he claimed that he had a right to discuss
the document in question. If it had been brought
before the General Purposes Committee, the conclusion
to which they arrived ought to have been laid before
the Council to be artiLed, before any reply was
returned. He wee only assuming that a reply had
been sent he did not know that it had been.
The NERTOR intimated it had been.
Then, said Mr. Via/goer, it was a most unusual way
in which to conduct the bumble's of the Council.
Every report made by's committee was brought before
the Council to be ratified, and he would like to know
why in this particular came a different course of pro-
aedure had been adopted.
The M•soa could only inform him that he had
looked upon it as a private communication, and he bald
himself responsible for the remarks made in the reply.
He alone was invited to make them, and the communi-
cation contained not the slightest reference to the
CounciL He accordingly took upon himself, cos.the
advice of some of the Members of the Council, and of
the Town Clerk to reply to it.
Mr. Victims was very sorry to hear him say so, as it
=t its evident he had admitted into his mares,
member, while others had been left out Why,
he asked, should not that letter be discussed dandy
and quietly, by the whole Council as other matten
WINNE
They all had notice, Mr. F. Banter said.
Yes, but his notice, Mr. VERNON, said only risched
him about an hour before the meeting, and ash, wasn't
blamed with wings he could not attend.
The TOWN CLERK said the notices were all seat out
early in the morning, and the meeting did not take
place till seven in the evening.
Mr. VERNON did not blame him, doubtlessly it was
the findt of the person, who usually delivered his
letters.
Mr. Alderman LOON quite agreed with the principle
which Mr. Vernon laid down, viz, that any letter
addressed to the Mayor of Dorchester, as Mayor was
certainly public property, and if it were connected with
any discussion, which had arisen in the Council, the
Council were entitled to have it brought before them.
But, on the other hand, he thought the Mayor in this
cam had given public notice of the communication, for
he had allied a meeting of the General Purposes Co-
mmittee, which Committee consisted of every member
of the Council. Every member had an opportunity of
attending the meeting, and to hear the letters read;
and there was • large attendance certainly • majority
of the Council were t. They did discuss the
matter, and they heard the answer of the Mayor read;
and the opinion of the large majority of the committee
was in favour of mending the letter (Expressions of
dissent). Therefore, he thought proper public notice
had been taken by the Mayor, and he did not see that
under the eireumstances they had any reason to oom-
plain.
Mr. G. J. G. GREGORT endorsed all that had been
said by Mr. Vernon, and pertly what had been said
by Mr. Lock. With regard to the consideration of
the letter the notice which was given was very abort.
His own came about four o'clock. He attended and
heard the letter read, and he heard the reply—ready
cut and dried—also read. An enquiry was made
whether any discussion was to take place upon it, or
any suggestion to be oonsidermi, and if approved,
adopted with reference to it. The reply was
was the answer and it would go just as it was writteni
whatever remarks might t made. He (Mr. Gregory)
Immediately irked what was the use of calling
together if that were the case. He was informed by •
worthy Alderman, who was not present today, that
It was an act of courtesy on the part of the Mayor.
Now very possibly their views differed as to what
constituted courtesy, but, he confessed, he could see
no courtesy in calling them together, and refusing to
allow them to express an opinion. But, he maintained
that statements were mask in that letter which were
of the nature of a personal attack affecting himself,
statements which he affirmed were gross mimepessenta.
dens, and libellous in the extreme. Imputations were
conveyed that he was &Masted by personal and sordid
motives ; and that to his haring made common cause
with another person to upset the scheme, was due all
the noise awl metal= which had been excited. In
ether words that as the laying out of the ground would
be injurious to his private interests he had conspired
with another person to upset the scheme. Was such
an insinuation based upon facts? [Several Councillors:
No. We should think not.] He snorted in all
honesty and sincerity that it was utterly false and
scandalous, and an explanation be
.dessanded. The
letter biter stating that • largo portion of the ground
on the western side had been laid out for building
purposes went on to may it so that on the
eastern aide one of the Coandl Is the So that
the Lords of the Treasury, not knowing the exact
locality, would believe that he (Mr. Grecny) was •
large lessee. But, what was the fact? He had one
single (pot lased to him, on which he intended to
build one single house, to be let at a rental of Sl2O or
£l5O a year, and he asked in what way any houses that
might be built on Beggars' Snap would injure his
interests in that. For what gentleman who could
afford to pay £l5O a year rest would go and pat his
noes •Wd the filth and the slum of the market.. So
he looked upon the attack made upon him as un-
justifiable, and demanded an explanation.
Mr. F. Bseensre did not think any allusicia of the
kind had been made. . . .

to take away any pork, the captain said "We'll take a bit of

is Edward Baunton and Sons, said at the end of March,
he put a lot of beef on board, which he received from the
shopman. Prisoner was present. Cruse-examined: Did not
know the number of the pieces. Never saw Stone buy

a piece of beef.—P.C. Roper was then cross-examined
and said he found the marina/orbs and scraper among

told him he could search where he liked—Mr. Hanna
asked the Bench if they had made up their minds that
there was a prria fur cue to commit, as, if so he would
not trouble the Bench.—Ths Chairman said they really
thought there woe on which Mr. Hanna reserved his
defence.
Prisoner was I then further charged with stealing, and
• mooring chain out of the vessel Ann.—Henry
David Curios, a boy on board H.M.S. Borseren, served an
hoard the Ann in February last, and riled from Wey-
mouth to London in her. When they left Weymouth,
there Mire three pieces of mooring chain on board They
went to London, and whilst the Ann was lying at the
Plough wharf, two mum came on board, and entered into
conversation with the captain. Prisoner pit these three
pieces of mooring chain Into these man's rat, also some
old rope. By orders of the captain, witness moved the
chain and old rope out of the hold, and forecastle. When
the mous first came alongside, he asked the captain
"Have you any old rope on board for sale r The men
afterwards came on hoard, and had s conversation with the
retain, and it wee after that that the captain ordered him
to'bring up the chain and rope. Mr. Symonds doubted
whether, as this offence was committed. in London, the
nmetstrates had jurisdiction. The ermination of the
wirer was continued, and he said that Robert Denman,
the mate of the Ann, and the man who had come on boas*
put the chain into toe boat Prisoner was then committed
for trial on the first charge. He said; "All I have got to
say is that the man gave me the piece of beef that be-
longed to me." He was committed to the Sessions in
June or July. As to the other case, after consultation of
the Acta of Parliament, Mr. Symonds considered that the

"fault. a little blind," not that if this rule
were ignored much could be found to be
objected to. The instrumental choruses were given
with a tier* and animation that carried the audience
with them. Mr. J. Foster, of Bridport, on the violin
soloed in a way that fairly brought down the house;
and Mr. J. Stevens, in some artistic selections on the
cornet, well maintained his reputation as Bandmaster
of the Militia. Then, again„ we had Mr. Tails, a
name that has so often figured in these columns that
we are at a loss to know what to add in his pram.
However, he was in excellent voice, filling the Corn
Exchange--one of the worst for acoustic purpoem—
admirably. Then there was Mr. Bolt, who gave what
we consider the gem of the evening. A very sweet 1
voice that gentlemen has, and if his name had figured I
more often on the programme no one would have I
regretted it. Mr. Dawson obliged twice with old
favourites, sad elicited well-earned applause. Miss
Bessie Turner, of Warminster, made her first bow to
• Dorchester audience, and rendered several ballads
In splendid style, eliciting torrents of applause. A
couple of dancers varied the performances. They were
undoubtedly very able professors of "the light
I fantastic," and created a Jv.rorc. Amongst the
patrons of the "Shakers," Pompey and BOWS, the
corner men were extremely good, and their jokes and
witticisms, in which they hit off several local features,
told immensely. Jtab evening's performance eon.
eluded with a "screaming farce," the " screaming "
being heartily indulged in by the audience. The piano
accompaniments were undertaken by two well-known
lady amateurs, Miss A. Taylor and Miss Tillie
Triniatize,
Lydon. A nice little sum we believe will handed
over to the energetic incumbent of Church,
and not the least to be thanked will be the •
leaders of the Troupe, the licarrs. F. and C.
