Blandford, was summoned on the complaint of P.C.
Dibben, for obstructing the highway at Kingston

'The Colonel now applied to be released from prison.
debts are returned in the preliminary statement at
between £5,000 and £4,000, and Colonel Waugh ascribes
his present failure to heavy expenses incurred in the
"support et his family, and law costs. It was stated that
'Colonel Waugh was in embody under three writs of
espies to hold to bail, it having been sworn that there
was good reason to believe he intended to leave this
country, and his arrest was therefore effected. It was
.rentened that it was contrary to the practice of tnis
Court to grant the release ander circumstances, at least
not until the meeting for choice of assignees should
have been held. With regard to the opposition of
Lord Garvagh, it appears that his lordship and the
eolonel were brother officers in the 10th Hussars, and
_Lord Garvagh, upon the request of Colonel Waugh, pot
o his name to a hill for £l5O upon the understanding that
lellbe bill would never leave the desk of the person

.2ololsatener : I shall certainly not interfere until after
the choice.—Mr. Reed said that application had been
already made to a judge at Chambers, who declined to
=eke any order.—Mr. Chidley said he was prepared
with good and unexceptionable bail for the bankrupt's
41tie attendance under his bankruptcy, the amount to be
Ihred by the Coart.—His Honor however adhered to
his determination, and add that Colonel Waugh might
apply again after the choice.— Application refused.
THR LTYRBOAT STATION.—This humane establish.
want is now in thorough working order, and evidently
-no eupense has been spared to make it one of the
snout efficient lifeboat stations on the whole coast. It
has cost altogether about L'6so, and last week the
'National Lifeboat Institution was called on to send
'down £3OO, as an advance to the contractors of the
lifeboat house. Hitherto the town and neighbourhood
of Poole have done comparatively little to help the
Institution inthis good and great work ; on the contrary,
1 .6 residents have called on the society to pay every
flidividual expense of the undertaking. The inhabitants
of the poorest localities endeavour usually to pay a
portioa of the coat of their lifeboat honses, inasumeh its
the money on such buildings is spent exclusively
' them. We earnestly trust the people of Poole
