Yzeivit.—SPrioua Marge. —On Friday week
Frederick Lodge, a respoatable-looking young man,
appeared befere G. Harbin, Esq.. at the county
magistrates' office, charged with attempting to com-
mit an indecent assault on Ellen 4 illar,l, of Rinip-
ton, a girl 13 years of age. Mr. Fear appeared for
the defence. The evidence given by she girl was to
the effect that she was sent by her mother,
Elizabeth Gillard, to Sherborno on the 7th inst.
She saw defendant there about four o'clock in the
afternoon. He asked her if she was going home,
and she said "Yes." He said" Mrs. Lodga (de-
fendant's mother) is down at the Crown, and I will
take you there and put you in her charge." Witness
went with him, but Mrs. Lodge was not there. He
asked her to take gin and water with him, but she
refused and went towards home. He overtook her
when she was in the turnpike road, a little way out
of Sherborne, and said lie was going home with her.
They came to a lane on the right hand side, and he
said that was the way home; lint she said it was
not. He then caught her and dragged her into the
lane, and there committed the offence with which
•he was charged. She screamed and struggled, and
told him that she would tell her mother. He took
something out of his pocket and said, " By this
knife, I'll kill you if you tell even your mother."
He was tipsy at the time. Ile spoke to her impro-
perly before taking her into the lane. She went
away, and went back to Sherborne to search for
Elizabeth Hialder, and went home with her. They
were detained at Sherborne lute, and she did not
get home till between one and two o'clock. She
told Hodder what defendant hail said to her, and
also told Mrs. Longman, whom she met in the road,
but was afraid to my what he had done, because if
his threat. She did not tell her mother about it till
Friday, because she was afraid, and then she could
not keep it any Inngen—Cross-examined : Did not
tell her mother till she was asked about it, and her
mother threatened to beat her. Never took bonnet
trimming from Mrs. Stroml's at Rimpton, and was
obliged to carry it back. Her mother told her after
this occurrence that she had heard people say she
was bold and forward. Other witnesses were ex
&mined, after which Mr. Fear submitted that there
were contradictions in the evidence, and that the
charge was not sufficiently made out to justify its
being sent for trial. —Mr. Harbin thought otherwise,
and, after some severe remarks on the atrocious
character of the offence which formed the subject of
the enquiry, committed the prisoner to take his trial
at the melons at Dorchester. Huh was accepted for
his appearance—the prisoner in £2O, and his father
in kW. . _

bers of our llille Cups was held on Monday, at the
Townhall, for the purpose Of appointing a Sunday as
a convenient day for the members to be par.uleil to
the church. ail it was agreed that they shonld
march to the sacred edifice next Siinilay week if the
members' clothes would be ready by that time. We
believe our worthy Captain has been applied to by
the churchwardens to give them a week's notice of
the occurrence, in onler to make arrangements for the
convenience of the members as respects seats in the
chancel. Eight new members were sworn in on
Wednesday last, making a total cf. 62, being two
above the minimum number of the company.

NARROW ESCAPE. —OR Monday, as G. Bullock,
Esq., of North. r oker House, was riling down
Heoilforil he met un omnibus, and the woi thy Squire
being mounted on a rather spirited animal, the
horse jumped in a fright on the pavement, opposite
Mr. E. Newman's, and commenced rearing and
plunging, the consequence being that both rider and
horse came down violently on the pavement. The
horse got on its legs and proceeded down the pave-
ment, when it was caught and mounted again by Mr.
Bullock, who reached home in safety, having sus.
tamed only a few slight bruises on the arm.
BOARD Or GUARDIANS.--A meeting of the Board
(the tint to which the representatives of the press
have been admitted) was held on Tuesday last, when
the Clerk read a letter from the Secretary of the
Poor Law Board, enclosing, for the information of
the guardians, a copy of a letter addressed by the
Board to Mr. James Trask, relative to the recent
election of N'ice-Chairman. The copy was as
follows:

" Poor Law Board, Whitehall, May 14, 1860.—Sir,
I am directed by the Poor Law Board to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the 24th ult., relative to
the proceedings connected with the election of two
Vice-Chairmen of the Board of Guardians of the Yeovil
Union, for the current year. Ac regards the question
of precedence. the Board find, from your statement of
the facts, that there were two distinct and separate
elections of the two Vice-Chairmen. It is therefore
clear, to their judgment, that the guardian who was
elected to the Vice-Chairinatiship has necessarily the
prececknee over the guardian elected to the second Vice-
Chairmanship. This was not a Cans of the two Vice-
Chairmen being elected at the same time, within the
meaning of Article 30 of the Consolidated Order. Snch
a case exists' where both Vice-Chairmen *IV proposed
together and elected by the Sittliti vote, but nut where
pepittittoe Total are taken Alt to each Vice-Chairman.
The proceedings of the Board of Guardians at their
meeting on the 17th ult., in determining the precedence,
were therefore, not requisite. The Board feel confident,
however, that, whatever gentleman may fill the chair,
either as Chairman or Vice-I 'hairusan, the duties of the
office will be duly and adistuately discharged.—! tun,
Sir, your obedient aervant,L GILPIN."
The Chairman said that was just as he understood
the meaning of the article before.—Mr. Trask said
be did not wish to enter into the subject; but he
was requested by several guardians to write to the
Poor Law Board, and he did so.

PROPOSED ALT. ATION OF DAV OF M METING.—
The Chairman gave notice that, on that day fort-
night, he would consult the feelings of the guardians
relative to the desirahihity of changing the day of
meeting from Tuesday to M lay. He did not
wish to do anything contrary to the wishes of the
Board, hut if the general feeling was iu favour of
the change, it might, with the sanction of the Poor
Lite Board, be carried into effect. Frequently
Tuesday was inconvient. On Thursday Somerton
fair was held ; and from the fairs and other causes,
it was intsinveniebt for the guardians to attend on
that day.—Mr. Trask said that, in a titlesttim of so
much importance, a notice of the motion ought to
he sent to every 4usnlian. —The Chairman intimated
his concurrence in this snggestion, which, it was
understissl, would he earned out, in accordance with
one of the bye•laws of the Board.

and never spoke afterwards. The medical officers
of the ship subsequently made a post modem
examination of the body, and found that death
ensued from dislocation of one of the bones of the
neck, causing pressure of the spinal cord. The wit-
nesses spoke as to the deceased and Cliatterton

stiocioxi; HANDOWN (ISLZ or WIGHT.)
jln our last impression we published a brief account
of this most slioeking catastrophe ; we are now able to
give further particulars.] A shocking occurrence tout
place at Sarolown on Friday morning. Sergeant Whit-
worth, of the Coast Ilri„oaile of Royal Artillery, sta-
tioned at the fort. destroyed his wife and six children by
tie.irly severing their beads froth their bodies, and after-
w.irols attempted to cut his own throat! Ile then
crossed the parade ground where several officers were
standing. and when he approached Captain Robinson he
fell on hi• knees before hino with his hands lifted up
towards his own throat, and began speaking in an
excited wagoner. lie then put lois hands into the breaat
of leis coat, 1111,1 praloceil smne papers after which he
was sent to the hospital. Serjeant D;ish at once pro-
ceeded to the rooms occupied by Whitworth, and on
going to a bed saw the bodies of Mr.. Whitworth and
three of her children bathed in blond. On the next
1,,,1, at Ow foot, lay the body of the second eldest girl,
n 1•11 v n14,11t two years of age, and one other child.
Their throats had been cut in the most horrible man-
ner, and the floiz of the nioni WaS covered with blood,
papers, anti articles of children's clothing, and from it
were taken also a razor and • cutlass with which the
murders were committid. Mrs. Whitworth was dressed
with the exception of her boots, and an infant lay
across her lap, and had been placed at time breast, in
which position the mother had evidently fallen asleep,
and being deprived of life before she awoke! The
countenances of one or two of the children bore the
impreso of the deepest horror. They had their stock-
ings on, awl the soles of them were saturated with
blood, as though they hail walked about in it. In fact,
footprints of blood crossed and reerowed each other,
leading into the entrance of the kitchen, but they there
in the room

bade Li abrupt turn towards the stairs
leading to a second sleeping room shove. On these
stairs the footprints were thicker and inure intermingled
with blood. From the marks in the rooms below
and on the stairs, it would appear that some of the
children had escaped from the room, and had
been pursued be the murderer and driven up-
stairs again, where he completed his horrible
work? The marks on some of the pillows would ap-
pear to indicate that the murderer used them to stifle
his victim' cries while he deprived thein of life. Many
