the attention of the court to a matter connected with
the Cattle Plague. It seemed there was some doubt
about the powers of inspectors and ateistant inspectors
to slaughter cattle on an outbreak of cattle plague.
The order of the commissioners only gave power to
slaughter in cases of pleuro-pneumonia ; but, consider-
ing that there is cattle plague in ETWISII,I, and that
the court may not be called together for some months,
be thought it might be desirable to give powers of
slaughtering cattle. Instead of having to call together
the Executive Committee, he proposed that any three
magistrates in the division might act if a case appeared.
The Court Agreed, and this concluded the civil
business.

APPEAL 4.
THE ALLEI3II PERJPRT Er A PARKEII.

Whin, v. frorren.—Mr. Calale appeared for the
appellant, and Mr. Warden fer the reepondent
It will be remembered that at the last assizes a
charge of perjury was heard against a young fanner
of Reaminster, alleged to have been committed in an
affiliation ease heard before the Reaminster bench.
His lordship, Mr. Justice Hawkine. in summing up to
the jure, the reader will recollect, could not be
mistaken in his opinion, but a minority—we believe
three of the jury ilimented froin their fell Ave and
they had to be discharged. At the time there was an
appeal agajnst the dechrion of the Beaminster bench
who had made "an order,' still pending, the Court
of Quarter Sessi.ms having resolved that it should
'tarot over to await the decielon In the came of perjury.
Mr. Cantle now applied that the appeal might be
still further adjourned until the next Seesions.
Mr. Warden argued that it would be very hard for
Miss Whit* that the matter should be again delaye I.
It was nnt altogether a criminal proceeding, but one
more of a civil nature and the confirmation of the
' order would really be for the benefit of the child.
Mr. Herbert Williams conxidered the Court to be
in exactly the name position an they were before the
trial for perjury.
Mr. Tinye e not f,ee any ground why the appeal
should be heard more now than on the last occainon.
He anked why the case had not been settled at the
tact assiZeS.
Mr. Castle mid it wan a long ease and he believed
the judge wanted to get away, adding, 'lf you come
to think of it, sir. I daren't put a man into the witness
box, over whose head hangs a charge of perjury. I
shouldn't feel it right."
The Conrt decided that the appeal should be again
adjourned.
Mr. Warden ached that the recognisaneee might be
incremed.
The Chairman didn't suppoee there was any reason
for imagining the appellant would nm away.
Mr. Cantle: Certainly not, sir, we have been up
three times.

Ilambrn v. the Pared, of Btre.—Nntice of with-
drawal had been given in this appeal, and Mr. Castle,
who appeared for the parish, asked, conaidering that
notice had only been given on the Monday that coats
should be allowed. Briefs and everything had been
prepared, although he was sorry to nay his brief had
not been delivered.
Mr. Lock strongly opposed, but the Court were
unanimous in deciding, that c‘sts should be allowed
The only prisoner for trial was a man named /snot
Brainy who bad been indicted for a robbery at

Mr. Wiles for the defence. The man, it appeara, ban,

GREENHORN% IT A Boor.—On Good Friday morning
seven young men (of Weymouth, alas beik the
pleasure boat Titan on hire of Mr. H. I'orter,
opposite the Bunion Hotel, and after they had ilia-
; ported themselves in the Bay, about 12 o'clock they
came towards the shore, to land. The surf was rather
i rough, and they became frightened ; tie, trying to
hold the boat with his oar, the surf wrenched her
noind, the oar was dropped into the water, and the
lad fell over after it, thin this the others, like a lot of
frightened animals, st.ssl up and began to roar for
help ; but the one-who fell overboard managed to ",et
on board again. Hundreds of people rushed to the
place to see the timid Titan.; but the stout boat her-
self carried them to the shore till she touched bottom,
when they all rushed out of her through the shallow
water, getting well drenched about the legs. They
got well laughed at for their bad management and
timidity, and what makes it more difficult to under-
stand is that none of the Titans were "tight unto," for
they were all Good Templars, and one of them unite a
precious stone in his lodge. It is recommended that
in future these youngsters should take ”ut with them
an experienced waterman, to show them how to beach
a boat in the on-f; their sisters, too, if they had been
with them might have kept up their spirit. by singing
as at the Rechabite entertaintuent—" Ste our oars,
with feathered spray.-

all d.,y, and had not been to work since—The apprentice
said his master would not give him a good character on
Mire's day, and be then left his work next day.—Samuel
Kingsbury, the father of the apprentice, said he could not
tell why the lad kept away from his master's work.—Mr.
Ayling said the father ought to take care that the
apprentice did his duty. —lt was said that the boy had
been staying out late at night, playing cards.—The
master did not wish to punish the boy, by putting him in
gaol, and if the father would take care that he attended
to his duties, he would receive him back—Mr. Arden
questioned the boy as to his playing cants at two or three
in the morning.—Kingsbury said he played for oastime,
but not so late as that.— Mr. Raggett : I never allowed a
hey of mine to be out after 10 o'clock. —Mr. Kingsbury:
It is quite late enough, sir.—Mr. Ayling exhorted the boy
to go hark, give up playing cards, and be a good boy for
the future, es as to get a good character at the annual
