Herurth further added that if the Board oily took the
nutter patiently be believed the grunt money would
eventually eau under the control of the Board —(bmar,
hear). For his own part be should be glad to give bP
his trusteeship, but so long as Captain Manning lived he
would not do so. Under these circumstances he (the
chairman) thought it advisable for the Board to take
matters petiauly.
Mr. W. Gibbs said that the deputation impressed
upon Mr. Hewiii the feet that the trattoria had never
been &amid with mimppropriating the grant mousy.
One Wag, however, which Mr. Hoprth said setcallied
him (Mr. Gibbs) : he said that the money had never be.
longed to the inhabitants, it Was sifllPl7l grant from
the Crown to the trustees. The !hostess were not ac-
countable to the inhabitants, only to Sir C. Gore. He
(Mr. Gibbs) reminded Mr. if oguth that • trustee was
appointed on behalf of the inhabitants, and in trust for
them.
The Chairman mid he had no doubt the trustees had
expended the money wording to their ideas for the
boob of the island at large.
Mr. Gibbs. in continuation, said be observed to Mr.
Flogarth that the Board did not wish to push matters
to the extreme. And that any member of Parliame:k
could move for the production of the acconnts, which
Mr. Hogarth was aware of. Mr. Hogarth furtlvr
' remarked that there had been • good deal of misrepre-
sentation is the local papers on the subject, end lie had
Intended writing a letter for publication refutitig the
charges made. As to waiting on Captain Manning, he
I rather liked the idea of that, as although it was nearly
90 years ego that he bad an interview with him. he
then found him very courteous and obliging. He (Mr.
Gibbs wished to know whether it was intended that any
of the bills doe by the Board should be presented to the
g trustees. Mr. Hogarth bad said that no money could
I be turned over to the Board, as the trustees must have
bills of parMsnhuu to show how the money had been
expendg&_

''gr. A. Striven said that f rem the statement suds by
Mr. Gibbs it would appear that the trustees were in
ignoranes aw to who the money belonged to. He (Mr.
Striven) maintained than it belonged to the inhabitants,
and was for the sole bentfit of the island. It amid be
indisPulobit proved that eleven thousand pounds had
pasted through the hands of the treatises, and where
could the inhabitant. Rod that so mush as 0,000 had
been expended for their benefit. The Board was placed
In a position ol trust and they should see lustiest done.
They should ga boldly forward and demand what we.
due to the inhabitants of Portland, and not allow either
Captain muenster Mr. Hagar* to speed the money
as it had been, it might be in a reddest mouser. 'Flee
Board would be au not lit for their pastries if they did
not ass every exertion to tee the inhabit/ante of Port-
land fairly dealt with, and to receive the benefit of the
money which justly belonged to them. He advocated
the neeeesity of at ono, taking steps which lead to
that end.
Mr. W. Gibbs said there was one thing he had omitted
to mention. Mr. Hogarth lad suggested that the Board
should ask for the accounts and not demand them. For
himself he should like to see thus, and that was one
thing the inhabitants at large wanted to us, so as to
know bow the mosey bad been disposed of. He thought
It would be better nott forest and see what the trustees
would do.
It was ultimately decide:l. Upon the proposition of
of Mr. Gibbs, seconded by Mr. R. B. Striven, that the
clerk be instructed to write to the trustees requesting
them to obtain the situation of Sir C. Gore to place
before the Board a statement of their receipts and
expenditure.
Mr. Gibbs further proposed, and Mr. A. Striven,
sounded, that no individual member of their body be
allowed to wait upon the trustees soliciting money for
the payment of bills, without the sanction of the Board.
Carried.

AintaOLTISIO rlie Hon. ClaAntLsT BILICILLIT'a
Kaarza.- William Sherwood, lahmarer, of Hinson, was
charged with assaulting Harry Toovey, gamekeeper to
the Hon. Grantley Berkeley. There was arising out of
themes case a cross summons &mind Tnovey, and also
against Alfred Bartlett, another keeper to Mr. Berkeley.
—Mr. Tanner, of Wimborne, appeared for Slier. ood,
Mr. Berkeley conducting his own awn —Toovey, the
complainant In the first ease, stated: On Thursday, 26th
September I was coming up the Poole and Ringwood
turnpike read, and met two men in a cart at the top of
the hill. One of the men said " There's a man throwing
at your pheasants." I immediately jumped to the top
of the bank, and sew Sherwood throwing at a hen phea-
sant in the road. When I got to him.! asked him if he
could not mine by without throwing at them. He said
he was not throwing at scything. I told him I saw him
throwing at a bird going across the road, and that I
should summon him for it. He thee said, " I shall tay
you on the nail," and gave me a slap on my farm with
his fist. I returned the blow, and knocked him down.
He earns up to me again and I pushed him against the
bank. A large stone fell out from under his slop. I
then left him, and be followed me, using very abusive
language. He was the worse for drink.. I told him he
had better go home two or three times. He said he
should not till be had " dressed" me down, and seen
Mr. Berkeley. I went untoward' Mr. Berkeley's house
and he followed me. I came on to the wicket gate
leading to my own home, and I then went and fetched
Mr. Berkeley to him by his own request. Mr. Berkeley
when he came asked him what the row was about. He
was threatening to beat everybody's bead off. Mr.
Berkeley ordered him off the grounds directly, and told
him he would beat him oat of time with one hand in a
minute. At that time he was threatening Mr. Berkeley,
and in a squaring attitude for fighting. He then laid
down, and took hold of • laurel bough and said he would
not go for no one.—By Mr. Berkeley: "Before he took
hold of the laurel bough what happened?" You was
behind him, and ordered me and Bartlett to use as little
Nine as possible to remove him. He resisted as much
as he possibly could, and I and Bartlett carried him out
of the grounds into the road, because he refused to
walk. lie made a most violent resistance by pinching,
scratching and kicking, and all the time made use of the
most abusive and blasphemous language. I did not
use any more violence than was absolutely necessary.
Bartlett did at use more violence than was Dreamy).
Mr. Berkeley did not touch the man during that
or any time. He was on Mr. Berkeley's premises
at the back door of the bousa—Cromememined
by Mr. Tanner: I had • gnu with use when I met
Sherwood. After he struck me I felled him and
then pat my gun near the bank. I was not in B awn.
Bottom then, but I was there during the 'afternoon.
The trap containing toe two men! metabout 6 o'clock.
Bourne Bottom is before you get to the bill. I might
be about 20 yards from the top of the bill when I met
the men, one of them named Cox. The road is a
straight one. From the place where I was standing
I could see Mr. Berkeley's gate. It is a sadden rise
to that hill. The pheasant ran woes from Mr.
Berkeley's lawn to the plantation on the opposite side.
From the top of the hill to Mr. Berkeley's house Is about
100 yards. Sherwood was • little way teem the front
of Mr. Berkeley's house, in the road. The pheasant was
• brown tame one. I was close enough to see that it
was • hen pheasant. I asked him what he was up to
throwieg at the pheasant. I did not swear at him or
strike him before he struck me. I did not take him by
the collar. When he got into Mr. Berkeley's grounds
he bad no bat or slop on. Mr. Berkeley had • gun and
I believe Bartlett had one also. I did not when be
Was at Mr. Berkeley's give him in charm to the other
man. By Mr. Berkeley's orders 1 and Bartlett
removed Sherwood. He took hold of his body and!
his feet, and carried him out is I would a child. I
don't know if his shirt was torn, I did riot throw pieces
°this coat or shirt after him. I did not tell Sherwood
he must stop till the governor came.—Harriet Newman
stated: I remember Thursday, 26th September. I was
In my own house and beard a greet noise. I heard
some one swearing close by the gate of the keeper's
lodge. The Impasse was very bad. I went oat to see
what it was, and saw Harry Toorey and Sherwood
coming through the gate. Sherwood came first, and
Harvey was following behind. I saw Sherwood put up
his fists into Toovey's face' and he then threatened to
knock his bead oft. He used very bad language. I
heard Toovey tell him he was drunk and that he had
better go off the premise". Sherwood said he would
not go till be had seen Mr. Berkeley, and continued
to use very bad language. By Mr. Tanner: I am the
wife of Mr. Thomas Newman and live at the keeper's
lodge. I heard the keepers say that the summons had
been issued the day after the assault took plow. I told
the keepers that I law the summons. Toovey did not ,
touch Sherwood. I did not see Sherwood put out of the
gate. I beard Toovey tell him to go on. Re-examined by
Mr. Berkeley: My husband has been in your service
28 yews and I have been married to him 20 years. This

wood was then gone into.—Mr. Tanner having opened I
nd
the ease, Sherwood acid: On the 26th Sertgember I was
working with three others at Newtown • ing • well.
I left at 5 pm., and returned home by t a turnpike
road which poems Kr. Berkeley's home. He was coming
up the hill from Hinson. I had passed before that some
men in • cart. I was walking aloes the road. I did
not throw stones or anything elm. I also passed a man
who ass rim towards Poole. On the hop of the hill
I saw Harry Toovey with • gtut under his arm. lle
came towards me, and when Ilehr the cottage took me
by the collar before be spoke to me. He then said,
"What have you been up to, William?" I said,
" Nothing stall." He said, " You are a liar ; you
have been banishing our pheasants up the rood." I said,
"You are a liar, I have not seen • pheasant." Before
this, be said. "Two, men who were in a cart told me
that you haddoes so. He then said, "I will soon I
see." He then threw dean the gun ho had in his hand I
by the side of the road, having um by the collar with the
other hand, and tried to "wrestle' me, and put me on
my back, and we fell together. When we got up Toovey
said, "You come back with me to Orsintley." I said I
would go back for I had nothing belonging to Grantley.
I went back and left MT hat in the road. It was knoelted
off in the struggle. The first person I saw when I got ,
to Mr. Berkeley's house was Alfred Bartlett laid up I
against the wall with a grin in his hand. Toovey asked
blin 'ls master within?" Bartlet said, "No, he has I
gone round somewhere." Toovey then said, "You stop I
here with him till I comeback." Toovey waggone some
two or three minutes, and when he eame back he said, I
"You are to stop till the 'governor' comae" I said I
would if it was till to-morrow morning." Toovey than ,
said, "You will have to do it, and came up and
pushed ma. I then said, "If I did but dare, Harry, I
be —if ra not give you one." Yr. Berkeley called
out from the other aide of the hedge, "Whose that?"
and than afterwards, "I see who it is." He then came
up awl pu.sbed me by the shoulder and kicked at me.
He twisted my neok.tie so tight that I was nearly choked,
and tore my shirt as it now appears. (The witneas here
showed his shirt and vest, whieh were very much tonal I
I fell down, and beard stomata's voice calling out, "Don't I
kill him, Harry." Bartlett and Toovey then tore my
waistecat and dragged me from the back of the house to the
front gate, and left me outside in the road. Mr. Berkeley
said "Leith° lay there." I lay for tem or three 1
minutes and a cart missed. Some one in it said" There 1
is sometime the matter with that man. They did not
stop.—Mr. Parisian: "Not a good Samaritan then.")
Cross-emodned by Mr. Berkeley; 'You know you are
on your oath. Did >ou not memos" language ?' "No,
I did not." "You never swore?" "No, not so much as
you." " You know Harry Toomey very well?" "Yea."

of Mason, gave Sherwood • good obstglitati and said be

Grantley Berkeley way then sworn to give *Ticking@ on
Alfred Bartlett's behalf. He said: "I was about • atone'll
throw off my boa e, when I heard the racist violent
language and grossest swearing from a voice that I did
not know. Toovey came down to wherel was and told
me there was a 114110 waiting toner me, and that he
refused to leave my premises. I went up, and when I
neared the house I heard a strange voice ming most foul
language. I cedied out ' Hallos", what is that raw
Then I oame in sight, and saw Sherwood at the back
door of my house swearing and threatening to koook
everybody's head off. I went up to him and told
him to quit my premises. He was then swearing and
holding up his fiat in a threatening 'Doled°. I told
that if he did not drop his hands with one hand
I would hest him out of time. He then dropped his
hands and began very slowly to walk away towards the
high red. I neverkouebed him, never swore at him,
or used n strong expressim. During the whole of that
time Bartlett neves touched or interfered with. him. I
followed close behind Sherwood as far as the gravel
drive in front of my boom. Thinking that he was going
quietly away I stopped there and ordered Harry
Toovey to see him out. The moment 1 turned to go
away he stepped back and began his infamous language
again. Hairy Toovey then put his hands up to the
back of bison*, as far as I could see, to push him straight
on the drive. They bad a straggle, and Sherwood caught
hold of some of the laurel to prevent his being tamed
out. Harry pushed him and it appeared to me that they
closed together, but finding Harry too strong for him
he rallied forward and took hold of a large hough with
both hands, swearing that my men should jot put him
out of My groan& On seeing that I called to Bartlett
and ordered him and Thorny to pia him up and carry
him out, but not to die any more violence than was
absolutely necessary. Ile made a very violent resist•nee
the whole wry towards the gate. I followed, repeatedly
cautioning my men the whole time not to hurt him.
They took and put him outside the geke and laid him
gently down by the Ode of the road. I then cautioned
him not to come in again. He said that his clothes were
torn and left on the gravel walk. I then went back
and picked up part clan old brace and a waisteoat and
threw over to him.—ln ,reply to the Bench, Mr.
Berkeley said Sherwood WM under the influence of
liquor. Mr. Tanner having cross-examined Mr.
Berkeley, in which no new statements were elicited, the
Noah retired to consider the evidence, and after a short
absence, the chairman said they bad given the case a
very long investigation, and from the evidence of Mrs.
Newman who appeared tir ha entirely an noperindierd
