Brady Butt and Hannah Maur, two Blandford women,
pleaded guilty to trespasAing in Mr. J. J. Farquhaninn's
plantation at Langton and stealing a large quantity of dead
wood, on October :10th.—D1endants have been convicted
seven or eight times previously, and as the magistrates felt
they could not inflict • fine, and did not wish to send the
women to gaol, they pursued the only other course, viz.,
ordered defendants to come up and receive sentence when
called upon.
Joseph A pplio, of Blandfonl, was summoned under the
Master's and Servants' Act for that he being a weekly ser-
vant to, Mr. William Selliy, bait r, of Illandford, did leave
his service without giving notice, on November Bth, and
plaintiff claimed CI damages.—Mr. W. H. Atkinson

month ago he dislocated his shoulder, and being unable to
work he sent for defendant (who had worked for him off
and no for years) to attend to the baking. On the
following Friday morning he had the offer of a mn a who
had left -Sir. Hunt, and he then asked .10fendant if he in.
tended to stay with him awl do the work till he was litter.

ant said he would stay with 111'11 till Christina., or after if
he wanted him. Defendant had his breakfasts at his

POACHglia. BICWARE !

Joan Cross, an elderly labourer, of Kticklanil, was sum-
moned under the Poaching Prevention Act for unlawfully
having game in his posscission, on the highway at Stick-
lamb on October 24th. —Mr. W. H. Atkinson defended.- -
P.c. I),,veni,li was thew itness, and be stated that on the
24th ult. about noon, he heard the report of a gun in a
field at Stickland in the occupation of Mr. l:iprake, and
saw the defendant standing there with a gun in his hand.
Defendant got over the hedge from the field, and walked
herons the allotments, and who he wan in the highway he
went to him and searched him and found on him a gun and
ammunition and eight patridges and a starling. The
patridgen were warm and riddled with sliot
examined by Mr. Atkinson : lie (the constable) was work-
ing in the allotments in the morning when defendant
mine up, and as his pockets were bulky he asked him
what he had in them. Defendant replied he had some
wood pidge mu, but he searched him and found eight
parki.iges. Ho could not say whether they were the same
partridges as he took from defendant afterwards. He
allowed defendant to return to the field with the birds in
his possession, and afterwards followed him on the high-
way. lie heard the report of a gun several times dunng
the day, but did not see defendant shoot or pick up any
birds. Defendant toll hint th 3 gun belonged to Mr.
Sprake, by whom he was employed to scare birds from the
field of young wheat Mr. Sprake's bailiff told him the
same.—The Bench fined defendant 403. and th. 111. costa,
and the gun to be forfeited, and allowed him a month to
pay.—Defendant was further charged by the Excise with
killing game without a license and using a gun without a
license.—The Bench adjourned both cases till the next
meeting for the attendance of Mr. Sprake, as they thought
it was a nice point whether the master or servant was
liable, the gun. which belonged to the master, and was
handed to the servant to scare birds, not being licensed.
Sidney Coal., of Milborne St. Andrew, who did not
appear, was summoned for trespassing in search of game
on land in the occupation of Mr. Joseph Fowler, on the

A LEITER VROil THE TREASURY.

A letter was read from the Lords of the 'Preen': y,
In reply to a resolution, passed at a meeting of the
Council on the 7th of August. This resolution was
asking their Lordships, to withdraw their prohibition
of the sale of lot 2, and to reconsider their decision,
with respect to it. The reply from their Lordships,
dated October 19th, 1876, was to the effect that they
had consulted Mr. (lawn upon thesubject again, and
they wished to draw the attention of the Council Whin
report, and also to a memorial sent up from a meeting
of the inhabitants. (The latter we had already given).
Mr. Glutton in this his second report, stated with re-
gard to the trees on lot 1, he thought the Corporation
should he required to retain the land, and so retain
the trees, but as regards lot 2. he could see no objection
to its being let, subject to the the trees being reserved.
As an answer to this letter, it was decided to forward
to their lordships a copy of the General Purpoees He-
read that morning.
The Council then rose.

THE RESIGNATION.

For some weeks past whispers have been circulated
that it was likely Mr. W. Eliot, the senior alderman
and only freeman of the borough, would resign his
connection with the Corporation, on account of
advancing years. We have ma le no allusion to the
reporta, hoping, as every one interested in Weymouth
should have hope I, that Mr. Eliot would be induced to
ronain in the p.,ition he has filled with so much
honour to hien.elf, adding so much dignity to the
'mporati,u, and conferring such benefit on the town.
On Wednesday last the unwelcome news that Mr.
Eliot had decided to tender his resknation was made
by the venerable gentleman himself, in words which
moved the whole Corporation, and Mr. WeWord. the
Mayor, and others, but expreased the unanimous hope
that Mr. Eliot might yet rtheonsider his determination,
mid continue to be a tower of strength to the body,
i.pon whom the prosperity of the town so greatly
lively's. Mr. Eliot very kindly promised to give
their hope and request his consideration, and we
decline therefore to entertain the painful thought that
the decision is final. True, if any one could earn the
right to retire by long and faithfully filling the
positions to which he was heartily appointed, and in
which public veneration has so long looked up to him,
it would be Mr. Eliot, and it would require a very
lengthy article indeed to recapitulate his services. But
we forbear to lend, by attempting to state any of those
services, colour to an idea that the resignation is
aleotnplished, and we will only wish Mr. Eliot se many
more years added to his long and valuable life, as it
may please the Disposer of events, and that, during all
that time, the secerablo alderman may continue to
remain to the Corporation a "tower of strength."
A letter was also presented from Mr. Alderman
Thompson, which was surmised to contain the resig-
nation, 4 that gentleman also. The case of Mr. Thompson
i, perfectly different from that of Mr. Eliot; Mr.
Thompeou has long and successfully devoted himself
lo the pursuits of natural history, and other matters
qoalifying him more for the life of a private gentle-
man, than for public business. His leisure has not
sufficed for the proper attention to the latter, and in
rAiring, he will leave the post open for some gentle-
man able to give more personal service to the affairs of
the town, while Mr. Thompson increases the esteem
felt for him by his friends and that celebrity which
h.: mu hotined in the pursuit f his favourite science.
We re4oice that so learned a gentleman as Mr.
Thompson resides amongst us, and he will, in devoting
himself to the science we have named, continue to con-
fer lustre on the town.
