all parts of the kingdom. It is the intention of the
authorities to convert the Dorchester Horse Barracks
into the headquarters of a cavalry regiment, but as the
barracks at Christchurch are not yet ready for the
reception of artillery this conversion will not take
place for another year. Cclenel Magenis takes the

kins at Swanage, and Mr. Lockyer at Poile.—The
Chairman said they were extremely sorry to see two
such young men in snob • positi in. Bridle was

and he (Mr. Hopper) pointed out that it is
no defence, in any proceedings that the Bench

parents to find their chd Iron education, and there is

purpose of the quarterly meeting they had gathered at
tea at Hope Chap.', &goodly number coining in from
Portland. The Rev. J. S. Butcher, of Upwey, read
the paper, which showed, among other things, that
many Sunday scholars bad fallen through intoxicating
drink, and that a larger proportion became good
Christians and useful members of society when they
had passed through and been taught in the Bonds of
Hope. A very animated discussion followed, the

the case of Richer 'eon v. Saunders, Judges Lindley
and Lopes laid down that a child need not present

and on appeal, five judges bad reversed that decision,
and it was laid down that the law is not satisfied by
the child presenting himself at the door of the school,
the parent knowing that in consequence of the non-
payment of the Nee, the child will not receive
instruction,land will not be almitted into the school.
The parent cannot evade the attendance order by

ench thing can be given as a clear definition of how
much strong drink is consistent with temperance; it
