If at the Dinder range, between the Dulcet,* and
I.yatt bills, a range which Captain Heaton, the
celebrated crack shot, who visited the sleeting last

offered for competition, which, together with the
expenses incidental to the Meeting, would fall very
!oils short of £4OO. Of this stun the Wells

hwpamd.rishofficier, ha had ever found that the
had to repair the church and the
churchyard.— The Chairman said it was so under
the Ecclesiastical law, but Yeovil baring a Burial
, Board, they came under the statute lair,which would
always override the Ecelemiaatical law. Ho appre•
bonded that the tarts' hioners were called together as
a matter of courtesy, for that had they chosen, the
Corporation, which constituted the Buri.l Bard in
Yeovil, could heirs ordered the amount necneary
thcoorelvea. He thought the host war of proceeding
with the businese now would be for some member of
, the Corporation, or an official instructed hy them, to
"tate Why the meeting was called together.--The
Mayor said that it would be remembered that
formerly the (barely/ad was in a Meet durgraoeful
state for a long time, and that there were so many
different opinions ex pressed respecting the
lest mode of proceeding with it to render it an
ornament rather than • diagiace to the parish,
that it was resdeed to obtain • plan of what was
pn.poeed to be done, and an estimate of the expense.
According to that plan, the expense was estimated
at £3OO. The meeting would recollect List at that
time it was intended that tae churchyard should be
fenced trend with iron hurdles, and two patterns of
hunlles were made, which nobody liked. Then a
third pattern was made, which it was intended to
adopt, but that also warn condemned, and there was
a feeling that the churchyard should be left open.
It had heen left open for eine time, but the depreda-
tions committed there by the children and others
had deterininid the Burial Board to fence it is, and
a fence and mitigate on the south side had been out
up, which, he believed, had given very g I
eatisfaction. But to carry such a fence round the
churchyard would invelve an expense ef something
like elfio over and above what bad already been
granted. Perhaps seine would say, why not have
kept within the former estimate' Had the hurdle
fence been put up as was at that time intended, he
felt satisfied that not only would the original estimate
have been sufficient, but that there would have been
some £7O or kW to spare. Rut then it was intended
that the fence on the south side should remain • but
it was found to be in an rotten and dilapidated a
state that it must have been removed soon, and it
was thought that it would be better for it to be done
all at once. Then the steps at the stet aide had
been removed, and, indeed, almost every portion of
the original plan had been altered, to the appraise.
thin, lie believed, el everyone. To further carry out
the improvements to completion, it had been re-
solved to ask the pariah to grant £l5O more, which
would embrace everything that was required—Mr.
Garfield seised whether it was intended to let out
the remaining potion of the work by contract?—
Mr. Vining replied in the affirmative.—Mr. Bartlett
thought the £3OO already granted ought to have
completed the jell. The money squandered away
there he considered disgraceful.— Mr. Mayo °mai-
dered that so far the alterations had been well done,
and be for one would very much like to have it finished.
-Mr. Marden said they used to talk about the
churchwardenasquanderiog money away. He did not
see that it was a great improvement in that respect,
in placing it in the corporation --The Chairman :
Tbe fact is, as soon as the corporation got at church
work, they went the old church way in
tieing ii. (Lanehter.)—Mr. Marden asked why
the churchyard could not have been left open as
well as Sherboree and many others? —The Chairman
said that the two were in several respects very dis-
similarly situated—Mr. Goode asked if it was
intended, when the gates were up to permit the
thonim.hfare from Church•street to the post-office?
--The Vicar said his own personal feeling, were
entirely opposed to permitting a thoroughfare
through the churchyard, although he would he
sorry to act in opposition to the will of the
parishioners. He however hoped no thoroughfare
would be permitted. - Mr. Goode believed that the
money for carrying out the alteratious would not
have been so readily grantee: if the panehinners
understood no thoroughfare should be permitted.
- Mr. Cogan said when the sulject was
formerly under the discuseion of the entry, the
alteration was urged on account of the churchyard
affording an excellent place for recreation for
families, and be knew of no better place. He oer•
minty sheuld object to the gates being closed.--The
Chairman said there would be no objection to one of
the gates being open during certain prtions of the
day, provided that decency and decorum were kept ;
hot they now saw what was the consequence of
children running over the whole place and playing
about, and it would be impiesible to keep them
in the footpathe.—Ur. GaAs thought it would he
eery nljectionable to clove the thoroughfare in the
chuichyard. Besides it would be mist inconvenient
in going to post 'site letters if one got • little be-
hind.—The Chairman replied that the vestry could
not legislate for the posting et letters. Mr.
Goode said that hitherto there had been
no attempt to prevent the children playing in the
churchyard. No one had ever said a word to there
about it, and they were therefore unaware they
were doing wrong. Now, if they were informed
when at their several school, that they moat not go
! out of the footpaths, and were to place up • board
cautioning the {Albite not to trorpasabewasfully per-
suaded thetan complaint of violation would afterwards
be made. Or, if one or too unruly ones would still
persist in trespassing on the green sward, let them
be takes before the magistrates. One or two ex•
ample@ would, be ample warning for the rest.—The
•lear, referring to the minutes of a former vestry.
said that the question had already been settled by a
nwelution to the elf-ot that one ef the gates should
be left open during certain hours of the day for the
purpose of ingress and egress, fur the recreation of
the inhabitants, but that there should be
no thorougbfare.—Mr. Batten stated that under the
Special Act the free access to the churchyard was
onibihited, and that if they passed any resolution
by the vestry for opening It to the public, aey
' parishioner could, if they felt aggiirevod at any
desecration going on, call upon the Burial Board to
act up to the strict letter of the Act —After one.

and Mr. Manning, jeer., seconded, that £l5O be
granted for the completion of the churchyard. The
revolution was unanimously carried, and the meeting
separated.
TAUNTON.—Sao ACCIDENT TO AN Iseestrita.

he saw • man ride past upon a horse as fast as the
, =haat could gallop, the rider beeting him with a
switch. Opposite the Board of Health office, the
rider of the horse went against a man and cart,
knocking the former down, and tumbling himself to
the ground. Witliede proceeded to the spot, but
before be bed sucoseded in learning any of the par-
ticulars the rider had remounted and left. —A person
named Henry Licks stated that on Saturday even
ing he and &man named George Payee were standing
by a small cart, in East-street, when a man on
horseback approached at a furious pace. The horse
drove up against Payne, knocked him down, and the
rider tumbled several yards over the horse's head.
Witness added, "He very quickly jumped up again,

he could go —(l4:ughter). I really don't home who
that man was. He bad no saddle on the bone, and

be had anything iii his hands. Mr. Taylor
cams up immediately afterwards., sad Payne was
