F. Wheiham, night, and T. A. Flooks.
Mr. Sze sail that as they received ao much help limit
year horn the other side of the water, they should
have an officer from that side. He therefore proposed
that Mr. B. Kerridge be elected vice-president.
(Applause.)
Mr. Flinn seconded, and the I:imposition was
carried.
Ur. )(SWUM)u said be was very pietist to accept
the office. He woe very glad to eel such so

but he felt sure they would get on better ibis yrar.
He was very pleased to n Aloe so much pluck and

The CHAIRMAN said they propueet carrying out the

advised them when they pad this shilling, to psi it
to their captain, and let him hand it over to the
MrseCre. Trad. said he was one of the offload last year,
and did his best to make the affair a success, and
would do so again. He most mention that a large
number of the MO tin torchee had not been returned
to Mr. Boonton. He mum certainly ask that such
should be done, as they wished to curtail the expenses,
and then each company would be able to have m re
fireworks. He hoped they would all put their shoulders
to the wheel, and endeavour to make the demonstration
• gnomes.
Mr. COUllr said be was very much obliged to them
for putting him on the committer, and he would
endeavour to do hie best. He believed he could get 30
es 40 men from the Brewery who would not join the
procession last year t , dos, this.
Mr. See thought they ought to appoint captains of
companies autougat themselves as soon as possible. Let
theta go to Mr. Hall with the money, and then place
them on the committee, al then each captain would
know what was going to be done. With regard to
the mission torches., he said it would be Imp...ibis to

If they were careful with the torches, they would be
able to have • carnival of some sort in the summer to

The meeting then terminated.

Mr. Thomas asked for Tactilet ire and flushing tanks
for the sewers, and the application was referred to the
General Purposes Committee.

THU DRAINALig SCHEIIE.
With references to this echeme, which, as Mr. R.
Htarr aptly remarked, is like an American forest, " an
interminable affair," the following notice was on the
agenda paper —" To seal the notices to treat to be served
upon the persons interested in the lend at Lode Mill
proposed to le taken compulsorily for the works of
the drainage."—Mr. A. H. Loca mowed that "The
notions be signed, and that the matter be referred to
the General Purposes Committee to consider the
advisability of calling in professional aid as to the
value of the land."—The Aaaterawr-Tows Cute
mentioned the names of Mr. D. Symonds (Ashton)
and Mr. Dimond (Exeter).—Sfr. R. Herr com-
plained of the conduct of the solicitor:to the owners
of the land. Mr. Howard knew the land was Indis-
pensable, and wanted to put an extortionate sum upon
It. As reprerentatives of the ratepayers and custo-
dians of the borough funds, they were quite right in
seeing they were not made the victims of any
extortion. Mr. Alderman ENDO' erconded Mr.
Arthur Look's motion, which was carried.

A quarterly meeting of the Council was held no
Tuesday last, when there were present the Mayor (H.
Darden, Seq.), Mr. Alderman Gregory, Mr. Alderman

After tbst Mr. Deemer' let t me in possession as his
b iliff. I produce the written ant hority for me to
remain there. I lemaiued In ponession of the house
and premises until the 14th of April. I remembered

Mr. Denman came t defendant's shop and told me to
demand the key from Ville. I did ao, and he gave It
p. Mr. Denman went away and returned shortly
up.
When he cause beck I did not hear him
say anything t i Vine. Mr. Street was there. I after-
wards heard Mr. Street say to defendant" You ought
to have disclosed there were roots and things there."
Mr. Denman gave me the key,. I went up to the
field, and went into the shed. I found • quantity of
swedes, a pulping machine, turnip class, wood, and
barrels.
Mr. Street: I shall not cross-examine.
Mr. Zilwood Milledge : lam a licensed valuer, and
a member of the firm of hfilledge and Son. I was
employed by Mr. Denman tr. take an inventory of
Vine'. effects, which I did on the 13.6 of April.
Mr. Percy Street (addressiog Mr. Roberuson), said
he believed he was a witno. in one of the charges to
be preferred against Vine. He would say that be had
not the elightimt objection to his sitting on the Bench..
In fact he wished him to sit.
Mr. Trevor Davies observe I that be had just told
Mr. Street that he had serve I a int:iv:ea& on Mr.

Mr. 3.lilledge (oontinuin ) : The inventory pee.

when he made it. Ho did not find in the inventory any
mention of swedes, agricultural implements, &c. The
debtor did not tell him they were in the sheds.
Stbsequent to that iuventory he made another on the
afternoon of the same day. lie went up to the field
In company with Mr. Denman and Mr. Piney Street
He had been there before with the same gentlemen,
but did not see anything, in ooneequence of the sheds
being locked. He found there three barrels, two

ditto, 30 bundles of reed, four rail., root crusher,

Toe value of the eams was about £lO.
Mr. Street: I dou't propos'e to cross-examine this
wi tome.
Edmund Thomas Denman, of 6. Arthur-street,
L nile. : I ant • clerk there. On the 14th of last
March I come down to Weymouth at the direct' in of
tuy father to the house of Henry Vin-. At that time
I was • clerk in my father'. employment. I saw Mr.
Vine, and took an inventory of his property, and I took
the memorandum produced from his own lips. From
that memorandum I found he did not dist:dose a
carriage, neither did he disclose roots and agricultural
implements ii. • shed in one of his fields. I understood
the inventory I now produce to be an inventory of
all he poseeesed.
Mn. Street: I don't propose to moss-examine this
one. . . .

Mr. Trevor Davies : This conclude, the seldom", on
this charge.
Toe defendant was then charged in the usual
manner, and in reply said : I reserve my deferme.—Ehe
Court then adjourned for Itiocheon. On resuming, the
third charge against Vine was next gone into, for
having, after the commencement .4 such liquida-
tion proceedings. or within four mouths next before
such c onmencement, frawluleotly removed part of his
property to the value of £l.O an I upwards, within the
meaning of section 11, subeeotiou 5, of the said Act.
Mr. Trevor Davies said in this case they (the
prosecution) said defendant was guilty of fraudulent
removal, when he removed a carpet. He should also
charge him with removing a carrisae fraudulently.
He should also charge him with fraudulently removing
the piano, of which they had heard. When he removed
that piano to Mrs. B i Babbitts, it was not done n • busi-
ness transaction, but with the intention of defrauding
his creditors. Ho should also charge him with rams,.
log fraudulently • gold watch and chain. They would
prove the carpet was brought back by defendant, the
piano was brought back by defendant, and on Sunday,
the 18th of March. defendant left home on horseback,
and returned late at night, about half-past eleven ; he
brought back surreptitiously the carpet and the
carriage.
Thomas Isaac Denman repeated the evidence as
given in the lest case, and in addition said: I bad a
conversation with Vine as to • gild watch and chain.
I had beard that he had • valuable gold watch and
chain, and in the preseoce of Mr. Street I asked him
about it. After considerable pressure he said be had
banded it over to Mr. William Brown on account of •
debt of £lO for money advanced. I told defendant he
must return it, and after considerable hesitation he
promised to deliver it to Hodder, the beiliff. It after-
wards came int my possession, and we. sold by Kr.
Milledge. I received the proatiele for the estate. I
have never had any communication with Brown upon
the matter. The piano had also come into my
possession as trustee. I have not paid anything to
anybody in order to obtain it. The statement dM not
commies a carriage. The carriage has come into my
possession as part of Vine's estate, and I have not
paid anybody anything for that. Since my interview
with Vine in the drawing-room • carpet hart oome
into my possession, and has sines been sold. The

Thomas H sider's evidence, as in the last time, was
read over to him, and ronfirrned. in a Idition be said:
From the 13th to the 18th March I saw nothing of •
gold watch and chain. I was pr sent on the 13th
when Mr. Denman spoke to Vine ab ,ut it. Oct the
16th or 18th of March I spoke to the defendant about
the carpet and carriage. I told him whatever there
was miming he had better bring back. Then he said
there was • carriage at Lo bars, • drawing-room carpet,
and a gold watch and chain. He said he would g
end fetch them. On Sunday. March 18th, Vine left
his house at one o'clock on hole/hack. He said he
was going to Loden' to bring back the carpet, watch
and chain. and carriage. I NM him again that day
on tbe landingetaire at half-past 11 in the evening.
He did not sweat to me, and I did not speak to him.
I saw him bring in a carpet, which he put in the
passage. I saw him go out of the door. I did n t see
any more of him that night. The next morning I saw
him, and he handed me qver a gold watch end chain.
lis took me op into the drawing-room and handed me
over a drawing-room carpet, which I had not seen
before. We went to the slaughter house together, and
he handed me over a four-wheel carriage. After the
conversation about the piano on Friday, March 113th,
I wee in the house. About 11 o'clock at night Mr.
Vine brought back • piano to the front door. He was
with two apprentices, and I helped the piano into the
dining-room window.
Zilwood Idilledge : I was instructed to value
articles bet 'aging to the estate. The value of the gdd
watch and chain was £l9 55., and the value of the
piano £7. I valued • four-wheel carriage at
£310.., and a drawing-room carpet at Et 10e.
Malachi Brown: I am a builder, and live at Up
Lodere. I out the defendant's father.in-law. I am
not aware that some time previous to the 9th March
the defendant brought an,y articles to my premises.
Prior to the 9th March a four-wheel carriage did not
come to my premises, neither did a drawing-room
carpet. A carriage did not come to my place to be
repaired. y"w nothing of a quid watch and chain

time defendant and his wife were there. I was in
bed for three months. I saw defendant. He cone
to see me because I was ill. Did not recollect
whether Vine told me he was in difficulties. Vine did
not tell him he had brought anything or meant to
bring anything there. Ido not recollect whether I

to Weymouth and went to the Bank about a fortnight
after warda. I signed my same to secure him • sum

before Vine filed his petition. I went to the Dorset-
