Bestir& which was beard at the last Dorset Summer
Amazes, came before the Coen% of Queens' Bench
during last term. The plaintiff is* cooper carry ing
on business at Blandford, Dorset, and the defendant
is • gentleman of property residing at Chariton,
near Blandford. It was an seine for trespass for
breaking and entering plaintiff's close, and injuring
and destroying • fame, and taking and carrying
away large quantities of water belonging to the
plaintiff The material plea was a justification
under right of way boa pump and well for getting
water by grant front the freehold. At the trial a
verdict was entered ,for the defendant with liberty
for the plaintiff to move to set it aside and enter it
for the plaintiff with 40a. damages. On the sth of
November last, Mr. Collier, Q ' .c. obtained • rule
Ifisi to enter the verdiet for the plaintiff. Subse-
quently Mr. &nation showed cause, when the
Court, without calling on Mr. Collier and Mr.
Lopes to euppeet the rule, made it elwalate for
eateries the verdiet for Lb. plaintiff. Mr. George
Chitty, of Shaftesbury, was plaintiff's attoraey, and
Mr. ltinobam of Blandford, defendant's attorney.
Tinrinatece Lacroix.— Os Thursday evening the
hinds of the temoreace cause were favoured with •
very eloquent ingressive teeters, delivered in the Corn
Esehange. by Mr. 'AWNS, Gene, one of the most
popuhradvocatimeithetemperanceMO•olll•llt. Previous
to and slier the lecture the temperance theses band
played • selection of lensie is flrst-rste style. There
was but • small audience. bet as the room het been
engaged for the Temperance Domestication (unavoidably
put of ie einsespieme of the recent death of the
✓ector), the committee deal led to hold the meeting.
The chair was takes by Mr. Hareem. who, after aingiog
and prayer, suitably introducwd the lecturer, Mr. Gene.
In the coarse of his lecture that gentleman referred to
the bumbler origin of the ems ranee movemmt. It
was not begun by the sad thae rich for it was
born in poverty, easti cradled in contempt. Instead of
its advocates, as now, being received with respect,
and their opinions fairly considered, they were booted
and pelted with brickbats aid other sad their
arguments treated with contempt. But the movement
went on,and se the osteinseed De Quincy says The future
writer of history will rank the temperance movement as
one of the tint of our day. Though it had to battle
with great diffleseltiss, the fruits it produced soon rout.
mended the system to very many of the good and the
peat. If • thing he good it little mitten where it
springs from. Th. lecturer then gave a very linnioaroos
anecdote, after the Outdrew" style, of • young Debts-
man, who, not being bisesW with • very good head-
piece, had to f 11 back ou the high birth of his &praetor..
hut who was man forgot; while the man who achieved
some good, whose life was one *OU-denial and Labour for
others, was remembered for many generations. Thomas
Kinney says it matters not who ass a man's father, or
alto his mother, or if even he had no father, the man
who makes his own name, whose life is nee incessant
striving in doing good. is the man whose name will bee,
and whose deeds will he remembered for many genera-
tions. The temperance movement is sow tieing in pope-
larity, and in the estimation of the noble, of the land:
but it was as greet • movement when they frowned
upon it as it I. now. Years ago the great evil of and
merry caused by inteutperance, forced themselves upon
the consideration of the people, and various plans were
suggested to stop it. The Id temperance moiety was
formed, by which its members sought to stop the evil.
by refraining from ardent spirits. forgetting all the
while that the same po•er for evil er.s contained in ale,
beer, cider. he. Men looked to the effect, and not to the
muse. As illtutrative of the state of feeling then
evinced, the lecturer likened those who were disputing
about the evil, to parties who, having a pig roaming in
• garden, quarrelled as to how it came in, while another
party, without more ado, set to work to drive it net
While great was were matting their wilt to work to Bud
eat how it was that d.nrikenuem was so prevalent in
the land, poor men, in humble life, joined together and
said, at us not dispute how the evil began, and by what
means it is spreading, let us torn it out. It was • grand
Oleg for the temperance came that it began with the
working-Mows. If it had not, and the noble and rich
had been the list to start the movement, it would have
been Mid that it mi lit do for those who did not work
bard, but would not do for those who did. Like all
great movements, it scram from beneath and rem up-
ward. The lecturer then paid • just tribute to thmo
who, in the firet years of the temperance canoe, nohly
braved scorn and contempt, mid stood firm to their
pledge. The cause had borne ell true testa. He once
heard of • man, who, after beings teetotaler seven
years, was told by • friend 'he met, that teetotalism
would not do. As soon as be got home he asked his
wife for a candle, and first went to the cupboard, where
there was plenty of provisions; be then examined the
dresser, fell of their shining ware; then he went and
looked into • easy sittinsproons, full of excellent furni-
ture; then into his banking-boilt ; and then took a look
at hie two sleeping children. and fell down by their bed-
side in bumble thanketidng to God. As hi viewed
each of these objects he said :" I think it do." And
ehen his wife, who had been watching his movements,
and began to fear be was demented, asked him
what it meant, be. with teara of joy in
his eyes as he parted her hair. and fondly looked upon
her, said: "Yes, yes, teetotalism will da." Our
temperance cause will do for all that are noble and
honest, and of good report. It will not do if you wish
ito live n a vrarUouse, or be the inmate of • Fenton ; it
will not do if you wish to robbed your family; it will
not do if you Irish to be despised and an out.
The lecturer then reviewed the progress which the cams
had made. It was of no use to oppose that in theory
which was found so excellent in practice. After • time
some of the religious bodies took up the came, the
Primitive Methodists especially had greatly Wapiti it
on by allowing meetings to be held in their chapels,
and by oilier valuable assistance; and now a peat and
&rims movement had been commenced in the Church,
and they had 540 clergymen pledged abstainers. The ,
present saved was cheering, the future before them
was
ectorious. After some very humorous and telling ,
tee bearing on the question, the lecturer pro-
ceeded to consider the subject in a religious point of
view, contending that the advocates of the cease never I
had put the temperance movement in the place of the
Gospel but only dewed it aa an handmaid in the cause
of troth; and concluded his very able address by •
striking analogy of the view the advocates of the cause
took of the help given by teetotalism to the spread of
the Gospel. in which he supposed the case of a poor
woman condemned to be hung at • certain time. By
the interession of • friend a Queen's pardon is
obtained. The friend procures the swiftest hors e ,
sides as fad as possible. and just as be comes in sight
of the place of execution Ands a barrier erected. He
odes, "strike down the barrier. strike down the
barrier." The people hesitate. He spin urges them.
They answer they cannot without the Queen 111 pardon.
He says: "See, 'tie here," and the barrier is knocked
dews and he rides over in time to save the condemned
one. Just so with the temperance cause. The drinking
custom was the peat barrier to dm spread of
Christianity—that pest pardon from an angry God to
His sinful creatures, and thee were endeavouring as
temperance advocates to remove it. At the close of
the lecture, a vote of thinks was proposed by Mr.
Hedges to the lecturer, and most enthusisstically
accorded, after which the hand yed the National
Anthem and the meeting
