WIMBORNE F/1011WA V BOARD V. TRUSTEES
OP DURRANT'S ESTATE.
At the Wiroborne Petty Bandon on Friday (chair-
man, Mr. (. J. Parke). an application was made
by Mr flamer. surveyor to the Highway
Board, for an order to enter upon a piece of
land, the Property of the deteniente, and dig gravel
from a pit for the repair if the highway between
Bournemouth Potterv-worka and the county gate
separating Dorset and H tnta.—Mr. Curtis (Tromsolon
and Curtis), appeared for the agent* of the trustees.
ani opposed the application on the ground gravel
could be obtained In other part* end they did not wish
to sell.—Mr. Seymernaid the piece of road in cm/OH°
formal part of the Witnhorne highway district end wee
In the perish of Rinson. He had taken gravel out of
the defendants' pit, following the practice of Mr.
Walter Fletcher, who had for many years repaired the
rued 110 question with it when the road was under
the Turnpike AM.. He (witness) received • letter
from Mr. Trevanion not to bats any more
gravel, and the matter was brought before
the Highway Board. Them wee gravel In other parts
of the pariah, but not sufficiently near, and the Pit
belonging to the &fondants was the best place to draw
It from. The nearest niece from which gravel amid
he drown was two and &Ault sollso won ow Asap

bills and would coat a large amount in carriage.—
Cross-examined: the Price offered-6d. per yard--
warn the usual pries paid in the district. Was oat
aware the surveyor of the 11,,ngwood district gave
IL
per yard. The quantity required would be f rem 800
to 1,000 yard.. —NU.. Walter Flethher, county
surveyor. sail he had charge of the road in question
from 1867 up to the time when the turnpikes were
abolished. The roa 1, wbich was immediately fronting
defendants' property, bad bean always repaired with
gravel drawn from his pit, and for which 61. per yard
was paid. At one time the price warn only 41. per
yard, but, through the action of the managers of the
I.)urrant's estate, they bad to pay 61 all round, and
that was the general price in the district. The
extra hist of carting gravel two and a-half miles
would be very oonsiderable.—Nir. Curtis said he did
not for one moment dispute the magistrates having
power to make an order, but, considering this pit had
been made use of for so many years for gravel for
the public roods, he thought it only fair other places
should be used. His client used it for supplying gravel
t • hie own premises and also sold some, but none ander
ls. Gl. per loot. He did not wish to aell any, and
therefore he (Mr. Curti.) submitted if he wee forced
he ought to be paid as much by the Highway Board
as others paid. There was another point; he .übinitted
by the ruling in the owe Earl Heavers v. B. Bartholo-
mew, in the Justice of the Peace report, if the Bench
decided to make an order it must be for • limited time
or limited purpose, and if the Highway Board wanted
the order renewed they mu,t make a fresh application.
After taking the evidence of Ernest Lscklan Lane
(Hawkinson and Lane), the agents, who proved that
gravel was sold to private inoividuals at is. 61. per
yard, the magistrates, after c ,nsiderable deliberation,
d-cided to make the order for the gravel to be supplied
at 61. per yard, limiting the time to cilia year, the
Chairman remarking the provisions of the Act were
specially drawn in the interests of the ratepayers and
to the advantage of the public.
