rue Cotolezt's HaALTH.—The delicate state of
Colonel Waugh's health is a matter of °ponderable
anxiety to all interested in his case. lt is oertitied
by two eminent medical men that he is suffering
ftan severe bodily ailment, and has totally lost the
as of one eye, and that further confinement in
prison will utterly destroy his sight. It is to be re-
Idon the score of humanity that the Lord
edlor should have reversed the order for the
bankrupt's release.
On Saturday evening, the 12th inst., Mr. W.

F. Bishop, E. Grant, J. Stevens, W. Tatchell, H.
Spicer, A. Gillingham, C. Burt, J. Heller, J.
Smedmore, and W. Trenohard, on the body of •
gentleman named Hobson. Prenn the evidence it
appeared that the deceased had been in a very low
date for the last three weeks, but refused to have
medical advice. G. Delamotte, ray., made a post-
mortem examination, and stated that disease of the
heart was the cause of death, and after other
evidence the jury returned a verdict that ' Deceased
died of disease of the heart." The deceased has
been staying at this plea for some months, and has
left nothing whereby to lead to his identity. On
Saturday the body of the doomed gentleman was in-
terred in the cemetery; the corpse was conveyed
from his late residence, headed by the Rev.
Lester Lester and the undertaker, and the proces-
sion was composed of the Coast Guard and the crew
of the Revenue Cutter, Gertrude, lying in the
harbour. Captain Stevens and Lieutenant Osborn
WAS also present. The corpse WAS followed by •
very large number of people, no doubt attracted by
the novelty a seeing so many of the navy in full
uniform.

Marshall to fetch a load of oil-cake, and on his return
was seen to take • portion away, which was afterwards
found at his house, and which he said he took for the
purpose of breaking up for his master's horses. As

BLANDFORD. Boeotian Perry Swamies,
Saturday, December 12th.—Before the Mayor (H.
Durden, Req.,) and F. T. Johns, Esq.
STEALING MAY. —Henry Eyere, cheeeedealer, was
charged with having, on the 10th nf December,
stolen a truss of bay, the property of Mr. George
Williamson Daniell, Bergson, of Blandford. —Pn-
Boner pleaded not guilty.—Prosecutor stated that
about three weeks ago he purchased a quantity of
hay of Mr. W. Ridout, of Okeford Fitzpaine. On
Thursday afternoon, about ten minutes to five, the
hay was brought, and he directed Applin, the man
who came with it, where to put it. Directly after
he was sent for to attend a patient. On his return,
about 20 minutes after live, as he came in sight of
the wagon, he saw a man close by it with a truss of
hay on his beck. He watohed him go down the
•Weet, till he came to *here • horse and cart WIPA
standing. Prosecutor then suspected who it was, it
being opposite the entry where the prisoner lived.
Saw the man put the hay down before the horse, and
then come beck and get into the wagon, and begin to
assistto unload thelny. It was the prisoaer,whom be
knew very well. Prosecutor went to him, and
accused him of taking the hay. He first denied having
any hay at all, but afterwards, when he told him he
saw him carry a truss down the street, said he
bought it of Mrs. Costes some time before. Prisoner
was close to the wagon, almost touching it, when he
first saw him. Prosecutor ordered him away, and
then went to his stable. There was no hay in the
cart then. He met the prisoner coming from the
stahle, and in answer to his inquiry as to what he
had done with the hay, he replied, "I shan't say
anything about it at all." He then went away
through another exit, and on his return told prose-
cutor he might examine his premises if he liked.
Prosecutor then went for the police, and when be
and the constable interrogated the prisoner, he said
he bought the hay of Mrs. Cates. On examination,
traces of the bay were found both in the cart and
near an outhouse close to prisoner's stable. There
were only 22 trams of hay now in the loft.—P.C.
Pethen said, that in consequence of information he
received be went to the prisoner's house, and, not
finding him at home, went to the stable. The pri-
soner was not there; but had previously asked Mr.
Sharp for the key of the beck door of the stable.
Found traces of hay from the stable to a wicket-gate,
which leads to Mr. Nesbitt's garden, where also he
found traces. As it was too dark then, he renewed
the search for the bay the following morning, in
company with P.C. Sesviour. He then traced the
hay from Mr. Nesbites garden acmes a ploughed
field, and from thence to • small rick adjoining a
shed at Mr. Godwin's dairy-house. He then found
the hay now produced. Two bands were broken,
and the hay was placed round the rick. The rick
was not cut. Could trace the footmarks of the pri.
Boner near a gap in the hedge. One of the prisoner's
bootee exactly fitted the marks. (A piece of mould
was produced, bearing distinctly the impress of the
nails in prisoner's boot.) When witness took the
into custody, and asked him where
tren7oetr the hay from, be answered it was no
benness of his; be should not tell him. He
afterwards said, "1 bought the tram of Mrs.
Coates, and have taken my rapper since."—
William Ridout, haydealer, of Oked Fitspaise.
stated that he sold about 15 cwt. of hay about
three weeks back to Mr. Daniell. On Thursday last
be ant the hay home in charge of Thomas Applin,
whom he occasionally employed. Loaded the
wagon himself; there were 23 trusses put in. Had
every meson to believe that the hay produced was
part of what he sent, as there were many old bents
in it—Thomas A pplin said that on Thursday even-
ing he brought in a load of hay for Mr. Daniell,
by order of the last witness. Could not say how
many trams there were. When be got to Mr.
Daniell's, that gentleman came and told him where
to put it, and he commenced unloading the wagon,
opposite the loft in hea-street. The prisoner came
up as he was on the load, and said, "Oh, George,
is that you?" To which witness replied, "It is not
George." Witness then asked him if he would
unbind the Wm, and he did so. He then asked him
if he would help him put the bay into the loft,
and he and, yes. After they had put up two or
three trams, the boy who was ip the loft said,
"There is no room here." 17pon which he
(witness) got up into the place, leaving the prisoner
in the wagon Was in the loft about seven or
eight to ten =notes. Did not see the prisoner tabs
7)nzaitaily, or give him leave to have any. Whoa Mr.
came he accused the prisoner of ggraliag lbs
hay; witness knew nothing more about it. —The
prisoner, in defence, stated that on the Wednesday
he went to Mrs. Costes for • truss of hay. Mrs.
Coates told him he could not have any then, but to
come the next day. On Thursday as he was going
to Sticidand he met • respectable man with • load
of hay ; he asked bins if be had any to sell, when the
man replied he had a small trues he could let hiss
have. He bought it, andrallt in his cart, and as
his arrival at Blandford it before his horse.
When peening Mr. Daniel house, he maw • load of
hay, and called out the man, who asked him to help
hiss. He did so, and while to engaged Mr.
Daniell cane up and accused him of stealing • tam
of bay. After that he went to Mrs. Coates for tat
truss be had orderecL —The magistrates said tint
they had agreed to said the prisoner for trial at the
next Quarter '3essions at Dorchester, and bound
over the prosecutor and witataataa to attend.
Four lads wee charged with obstructing the high.
way in Selieburratreet, on the evening of Sunday,
the 6th inst. The case was proved by P.C. Legg
and Mr. Dowding; but, as the lads were not lira
cautioned to remove, the magistrates dismissed the
charge, at the same time warning the defendants and
others that if after Doti°, being given them by the
police or the inhabitants to go away they persisted
in remaining, the fall panty of the law would be
Melded.

would give them more inteinsting intelligenoe ; but

After a few comments from the chairman, Mr.

deny, and the sooner that evil was removed the better.
We know the "use ; remove that, and the evil will
cease to exist. It was his opinion that the public•houne
was producing more evil than anYthing she. After •
few remarks from Mr. Squibb, fir. Maurice Stainer

said he should reserve what he had to say till some

COUNTY CuUrt, Wednesday. -Before E. Everett,
Eeq., Judge.
Leach e. Kendall. —This was an adjourned case.
The plaintiffs a grocer living at Salisbury, and the
defendant is • horse dealer, and resides at Stapleton,
near BristoL The action was Ix-ought to recover
damages for breach of warrant of a horse. The
partite exchanged horses on the 9th ofJnly last, and
the plaintiff gave the defendant £lO to boot. The
latter warranted the horse sound, but it turned out
a perfect roarer. The bores after the plaintiff had
given the defendant notice was sold by auction in
the Salisbury market, on the 9th of October, for ,C 5.
—At the last Court Mr. Leach said he would not
press the action if the defendant would give him
"anything like • horse," and the latter having con-
sented, his honor adjourned the case iu order that
the parties might arrange the matter.—The
plaintiff now stated that be had settled the matter in
referenoe to the horse' but he now applied for costa.—
Tee defendant had brought him another horse, and be
(plaintiff) had given him so much money to bootand
be now asked for the expenses of the Court, and his
personal expense*, but the latter he would not press.
—His honor said without there was a judgment of
the Court he had no power to grant owns —lf the
plaintiff bad settled the matter out of Court he ought
also at the same time to have settled the costs of the
action.—Mr. Leach then withdiew the application.
A HARD Casa.—Miller v. Seager.—The was a
judgment summons. The debt was £1 4.. 3d., which
the defendant declined paying on the ground that
the goods were sold to the wife without his
knowledge or authority. The plaintiff is what is
familiarly known ass ' packman," and the defen-
dant resides in Castleetrest.—The defendant said he
was not &Aare that the plaintiff had any claim against
him until he was served with thejudgment summons.
His wife hadAkept him In ignorance of the affair
throughout —The first summons it appeared had
been served upon the wife, and judgment was allowed
to go by default, as no one appeared to dispute the
demand.—The defendant said he was not aware
that a twenty court summons had been issued against
him. When the plaintiff and his agent called
upon him, be inquired what goods were .sold to
his wife, and the latter replied a shawl and a dress.
Defendant asked for the bill, and the plaintiff then
left. About two months afterwards the plaintiff
called, and he informed him that if he had been
foolish enough to let his wife have goods without
his knowledge, he must look to her for the money.
The plaintiff had charged el ss. for the shawl, and
he defendant had taken it to one of the principal
tradesmen in the city, and he said the very outside
value of • shawl of that description of the beet
quality was not more than 17s. 6d.—His honor
asked how he became possessed of the shawl.
Defendant said he had borrowed it that morning
from a person in Winchester-street, where it had
been left by his wife in part payment for groceries
supplied. He had also inserted • notice in the
Salisbury Journal to the effect that he would not
be answerable for any debts contracted by his wife.
His honor: When was that inserted? Defendant:
In January last—ln answer to his honor the
Registrar (Mr. R. M. Wilson) stated that from the
bill it appeared that the present debt was contracted
in August, 1561.—His honar : Then that notice is no
good in this instanoe.—The .defendant, in answer to
qoastions, stated that he had never men either the
dress or the shawl until recently. His wife never
wore them, nor did he know that she had had any
dealings with the plaintiff—The plaintiff's agent
stated that when he celled upon the defendant be
promised to pay the money as soon as he
couhL—This was, however, emphatically denied
by Seager.—ln answer to his honor the
defendant stated that the shawl was left as
security for a debt of 13s. for groceries, of which he
had partakam—His honor said he could not me how
he could help him. What instalments could he offer?
Defendant: I am quite willing to offer the plaintiff
instalment' if he will take back the shawl.--
Plaintiff's agent : I cannot take it back. It is
against the rules. His honor Why can't you
take it back. Could you not sell it again? Witness:
My employer will not allow me to take it hack.
After examiningitthe witness said it was soiled, and
therefore he could not sell it. Defendant : Is that
worth 25..? Witness: Your wife purchased it for
that money.—His honor: If • person buys an
article, and lest the time informed the price, he has
no right to complain, Defendant: But what am I
to do? I have a wife who is easily led away
by them men. His honor: lam afraid you have
made • very indifferent match, but I cannot help
you out of that. You must go to a higher Court
than this if you want to get out of it. The defen-
dant said he was in receipt of 12s. a-week wages,
and he had to pay 2s. a-week rent. He had five In
family, and consequently he could not pay very
heavy instalments—His honor: It is a hard case
where • woman acts in this manner, but I sin afraid
I cannot relieve you. I will vary the order to 4e.
',month. It is a very hard case, and I wish I could
help you. Defendant there are 9s. added to the
account for expenses. Am I to pay that? His
honor : I cannot help you. The money has been
paid into Court, and the plaintiff is entitled to
recover it. Addressing the plaintifrs agent, his
honor said : I have cautioned Miller once myself, and
I think be had better abide by that caution. If I
find that he goes on after that caution, and gives
credit to the wife, separate and distinct from the
husband, sad without the husband's knowing any-
thing about it, he won't get me to give him his debt.

IMOD..

The plaintiff, the mime as in the former
case, through his agent, sold the defendant's wife
a shawL A summons was served upon the wife in
August last, and she consented to pay the debt by
instalments, for which an order was made. Since
then the wife has paid 4s into Court. The defen-
dant denied all knowledge of the transaction. His
wife had taken the good.; had appeared to the
summons, and paid • portion of the money without
his knowledge or consent, and he did not therefore
think he was liable. About two years since the
plaintiff's agent came into his house, and he (defen-
dant) then informed him that if he ever left any-
thing at his house be would never pay him.—His
honor: When was this bill contracted? Defen-
dant: I don't know anything about it.—PlaintifFs
agent said the shawl was purchased when the defen-
dant was living in Rolleston-street—Defendant said
he had left that house about 15 months. The plain-
tiins agent had seen him standing at his door several
tames ; but he had never asked him for any money,
which, he considered, he ought to have done if the
claim was • correct one.—ln answer to his honor,
the plaintiff's agent said he had not been in Salis-
bury two years, but only 21 months—His honor:
That's getting on for Ciro years.—Witness said the
defendant never, to his knowledge, cautioned him
not to leave any goods at his house. He saw
the defendant in his own house.—ln answer to his
honor, the defendant said the reason he cautioned
the witness was because he knew if he purchased
goods of such people they always paid double the
value for it, and if he wanted any wearing
apparel he would rather go and purchase it
in a straight forward way. His wife never
ran him into debt before. When he found
oat that she had had • shawl of the plaintiff he
" knocked up a row ;" but she did not say much to
him about it. (Laughter.) He bad never seen the
shawl Bret or last. The shawl was not in his house,
nor did be know what his wife had done with it. He
was a cab-driver, and worked for Mr. Dawes
Milford-street. His earnings depended mainly upon
the trade -some weeks were better than others.
Ilia honor: Will you pay Is. a-week ? Defendant:
I have for children to support.--His honor: Well,
you must prevent your wife from making such
purchase.—Defendant: It is very hard for me
to pay this debt when I have told him not
to leave any goods at my house. His
honor : If you could prove that satisfactorily it

think it is correct, because you admit that your wife

was no necessity to caution him. You must pay 4s.

evening Mr. Whitehorn's premises in Silver-street,
were entered, and a cash box, oontaining private
papers, but not of NIT money value, and about Se.
worth of copper coin, were taken away. The
adjoining house, formerly occupied by Mr. Ventham,
umbrella maker, is now undergoing repair, and it ii
supped that the thief must have concealed himself
in the front shop before the premises were looked
up. When the =mates had left the thief most have
wended the stairs, and gained admittance to Mr.
Whitehorn's work room at the back of the house,
and from thence descended into the shop. The

CH MISTS AS GREAT Meager—This market took
place on Tuesday, and was very largely supplied with
cattle, which were generally of excellent quality.
Herefords were in great force, and Devon, were
well represented, although there were but very few
of the pure breed. The animals were not incoa.
veniently burdened with fatbut they MOTS in capital
condition for the butcher, and showed that the
agriculturists of this neighbourhood had not stinted
them in food. The supply is somewhat less than
in former years, bat we have no hesitation in
saying that • finer collection of animate, taken as a
whole, have never been seen in Salisbury. The
attendance of purchasers was also numerous, but
trade did not appear to be very brisk, some of the
beasts laying on band until the aftemooe. The
prime, considering it was for Christmas beef, were
not excessive; prime oxen being disposed of froes
124. to 13a, and heifers from 10s. 6d. to 12m. psi,
score. Some of our local betchers have purchased
prize animals at some of the exhibitioos in the
neiglibourhood,and those were shown in the market
Mr. Milton drove in 50 Devon oxen, many of which
were disposed of to Messrs. Marlow, Smith, and Mrs.
Meatyard, of Salisbury, and Mr. Pinner* of South-
ampton. Mr. Allen, of Pyt House Farm, exhibited
one of the finest heifers in the market, win.% was
purchased by Messrs. Snook wad Son, of Sahebs,'
There was a very short supply of sheep, but the
quality of those drove in were excellent. Mr.
Bennett, of Chilmark, who has secured a prize at the
late Smithfield Club Cattle Show, offered a pen or
wethers, 21 months' old, for sale, and they averaged
seven guineas per head. They were an exceedingly
choice lot, and splendidly fatted. The Rev. W.
Knatchbull, and Mr. Residence, of Bulbridge, also
sent some excellent Hampshire Down sheep; Mr.
Rawlenoe's ewes being very prime. Mr. Attwater
sold a pen of Cotswolds for £8 per head,
and a pen of Hampshire Down lambs were
also disposed of by him at Me. each. The trade in
sheep was not remarkably lively, beta clearance was
effected towards the afternoon i—Sheep realised,
