with this plan the new gardens in the rings would be partly

would be not only the danger to the tanks from the sea

Tax "AQUMILIUN RIGAILDED AS A FACT. —III last NVOSk's
Building Noise there is a report of a paper read by Mr. W.
Norton before the Architectural Amodation, on "Notes
on the Construction of Aquaria." Mr. Norton commenced
by stating that. "as a science, the construction of these
buildings, so as to render them most suitable for their
purpose, was yet in its infancy, and they had not advanced
in its study and practice beyond the stage of tentative
experiment." After referring to aquaria at Brighton,
Paris, Berlin, Boulogne, Naples, Hamburg, Rothesay, the
Crystal Palace, and Brighton. Mr. Norton continued:
"So much for aquaria erected ; he would now refer to
buildings in course of erection, or about to be erected.
under the direction of Mr. P. E. Minty and himself acting
as joint architects, embracing buildings at Weymouth,
Clifton, Great Yarmouth, and Tynemouth. At Wey-
mouth it WU desired to combine, on a circumscribed area,
a music-hall and winter garden with the aquarium. The

table tanks, and support galleries for orchestra and
and spectators—the whole was roofed with glees.
External to this saloon ware parallel corridros 100/t by

which had, respectively, 39ft. frontage by 1311. depth,
19ft. by 1311. , and Mt. by 311. Gin. Thu arrangement
originated in the Manchester aquarium ; but there was
the notable exception that whereas in the northern city,
the walls separating
the
and main hall were pierced
with arches. throwing a confused light upon e fronts of
the show tanks, at Weymouth there were solid partition
walls, and the skylights extended only over the tanks.
The neglect of this
_precaution at Westminster had pro-
duced sad results. The estimated cod of the Weymouth
building, Mr. Norton stated, would be CllO,OOO. [This,
It will be remembered, has since been reduced by Captain
Chimmo, R.N., to .130,000,1 Mr. Norton, towards the

aquarium in its present y developed form was

success, it was now necessity to provide, in addition,
music and concert halls, winter gardens, skating rinks,
club rooms, restaurants, baths, and pleasure grounds."

ing and using bad there. The constable ordered
him to go into his house ; but defendant still continued to
use the bad language outside, and his conduct was most
disgraceful.—Defendant said he spoke as he did because
his wife was not athotoe when he wanted her. —Mr. Ayling
was reproving defendant for his conduct, when the latter
exclaimed rather loudly: Well, Tve told what I did it
for.—Ordered to be Wand over to keep the pens for three
months, in .C 5. His own recognizance was accepted but
he could not pay the 7s 6c1., fee, and he was removed
below.

elderly look, was summoned for committing a nuisance.—
A boy named William Portman, said he saw defendant

also at R o'clock on Sunday morning, when the bells were
going for church.—Defendant fiercely cross-examined
witness, and denied that witness was there at
6 o'clock •. it was 90 minutes before 6, Witness
adhered to his statement —Defendant, (fiercely). Are you
wild for this ?—'George Gillingham corroborated, and
defendant dismissed him by contemptuously remarking
that be was not worth asking anything. —William Boonton
boots at the Golden Lion, also gave an instance of defen-
dants filthy doings. —Defendant said be came from London,
and did not know about the town: but Sergeant Aspey
said defendant had been to Weymouth once or twice
before, and knew the town is well as be did.—Defendant
said he had raised himself to a competency by his own
exertions, he began business with only fh He had not
very large means; but it was hard for a gentleman of
independent means to be brought before the Bench on
such a paltry charge—Mr. Arden said it was not apathy,
but a very serious charge, he might find the emasquences
very serious. He was liable to be sent to prison for 1
dayi without a lbw —Defendant : All right I can do that.
—The Beach said it was a very grave °Reno", and fined

obliged to the policeman for taking awe of her.—Fined se,
and allowed a week to pay.

with the agent to do until the work was completed; but
a lot of the parts were sent to him all at once, and to that
he objected. —Mr. Howard said that was not so; the
agent called month by month with the parts as the work
was published; but defendant would eat receive them.
—The agent for Mr. Mackenzie deposed that the books
were offered to Mr. Merrifield monthly ; but he would
net take them, nor pay.—Defendant said he had had, and
paid for, three Iparts 'of the book, and expected to
have one a month afterwards; but Mr. Wills came to
his shop, opened his saddlebap, and threw the whole of
the remaining parts on the counter at once; when he
only expected one, and when he (defendant) refused to
take them,he was abusive.—Mr. Howard said that on the
other ban the parts had been offered singly to defendant
before,but e refused them, and this offer of the whole was ,
simply a legal tender. People would sometimes agree to
