TeESDAT I:vs:vivo Mr. A. MSOO delivered
another address at the Town-hall to a large congTega-
gon. His subject wan "The Four Judgments,' and
ke handled it in the most masterly manner. Mr.
Mace's knowledge of the Bible is very extensive. and
the manner in which he quoted chapter and ver.c
without reference to notes" of any loud in support
of his theories WWI perfectly astonishing. The address,
which lasted a hour and a-half, was listened to with

great attenti,,n.
A 141,....1 CI TO LOCAL 13,ARDM. —The East Dereham
Local Boanl have been much exercised lately in
reference to the bill sent ,y Mr. 118,1,1 win Latham, •. K ,
to the clerk of the hlitford and Launditch Rural
Sanitary Authority, for the p.rlintinary survey of the
East Dercham Sewerage and Waterworks. The charges
are for the preliminary survey, preparing surveys,
plan., and drawing., and attendin; the Local ( :oven,
ment Board inquiry, and amount to a total
£l5B Os. 7.1. The chairman, when the matter was !
ender dismission at the board, said he thought this
extraordinary bill of charges required careful con-
sideration. There was 1:325 charged in the bill,
being A per rent on an estimated coat of £13,000; yet,
not a sod hod born turned, nor is draia pipe had been laid,
and not a hole had been bored to ascertain whether an
adequate water supply could be obtained. But this wex
mot all. "Would you be surprised to learn," he would
ask, that there was another little bill, dated August,
1877. To confirm Mr. Latham's survey, a very
eminent scientific gentleman, Professor Meted, was
sailed in, awl for his visit a futher charge of £127 14s.
WM made. The bowl resolved unanimously, "That
the committee be requested to make inquiries into the
whole question of the charges for the works of sewerage
and water supply for the urban sanitary district and
special drainage district of East Dereham, and to report
to the board." Bills like these should serve as
warnings to local boards and sanitary authorities to
isount the cost, and ascertain the responsibilites they
incur, before giving their commissions for preliminary
or confirmatory surveys.

Defence was allowed to tow the wreck inside the Break-
water, the enormous powers that could be applied by the
Channel fleet would not have sufficed to tow the whole

right her as a whole. Or, if this could not he done,
whether it was not possible to continue the (belying at

TIIE CLOSING CRICKET MATCH.— Wcyrnottllt Cricket Club
Eleven v. Volunteer& Tradesmen, noul Friend, The
annual slaughter of the innocents with which the
Athletic Cricket Club generally finish up the season,
came off on Thursday, the 4th inst., and was as

out on the side of the Weymouth all-comers, and
they were a mixed lot, as far as their cricketing
capabilities went. The Cricket Club are always very
desirous to meet 22 ; hut these were not to he got together,
although reinforced by four of the Artillery, and it will be
seen that the Cncketers beat them by 75 runs, only one
innings being played. It was generally thought they were
quite a match for the eleven, and the game was merrily
contested. The weather was certainly all that could be
devired. The 19 took the batting first, sending Messrs.
Newberry and Dyke to the bowling of Mr. Wilding and

vention Act in a matter of the utmost moment. The
Mayor and Alderman Galpin hail waited as a deputa-
tion upon Mr. Fellowes and Mr. Floyer, Mr., land-
owners, in reference to the out-fall into the Frome,
and the latter gentleman decidely objected to any
further outflow of the town sewage into the river. An
inspector from the office of the Local Government
Board will probably soon commence an enquiry, and a
heavy expenditure in the matter seems to lie looming.
The difficulty of providing andequate drainage for the
new houaes near the Great Western Railway Station
seems to have given rise to the dim:minion of the
question.
In connection with this subject the following report
was presented :
Your committee have to report that for the purpose of
ascertaining whether any objection would he raised by
the overseers of the Land below the point of outfall of the
present town sewer Su an additional diseharge into the
river. A deputation consisting of the Mayor and Mr.
Galpin, waited upon Mr. Fellowes and Mr. Floyer on
Monday last, and conferred with them on the subject,
when, although no obje. tion was, raised by the former, yet
Mr. Myer explained that he had already found a pond
near his house at times offensive on account of the
accumulation of sewage in the river from which it was
supplied, and that he could not consent to any further dis-
charge of the town sewage into such river. The committee
therefore being unable an inform the Local Government
Board that no objection to the disposal of the drainage of
the new iliatrict by means of the present outfall would be
raised by the overseers of the land atfected, and feeling
the importance of at mice providing for the requirement,
of the houses already built, and in curse of erection
round the town, recommend the Cooncil to apply to the
Local ivernment It gird for an inspector to be instructed
to attend at Dorchester for the purpose of advising the
Council upon the hest mode of complying with the pro-
visions of " The Pollution of River Prevention Act. 1a76,"
in carrying out the new drainage works, and also, if
necessary, in stealing with the present sewage of the
town. Your committee are of opinion that the whole
question is one of the utmost importance, and would urge
upon the Council the necewity for immediate action. For
the purpose of providing the newly erected houses lying
within the Great Western Railway on the west side of
the town with a supply of water, the cimmittee have
given the surveyor instructions for the purchase of
a sufficient quantity of pipe in order to lay a water main
from the Bridport-rned to Mr. Grassby's new house near
the Great Western Railway Goods Shed, and to continue
the supply to the housen at the lack ,t Cornwalbterrace,
and of these in.structions the committee trust the Coitucil
will approve."

Hors CIIAPRL THANKBOIVING.—A harvest thanksgiving
service was held at Hope Chapel on Thursday evening.
As usual the chapel had been made to look very pretty by
the decorations with lovely flowers, delicious fruit, and
leafy evergreens, obtained and most tastefully arranged
by Mrs. C. Read, wife of the postmaster, Mr. C. Carter,
the Mimes Webb, Mr. Freeman, Rev. W. Lewis, the
pastor, and Mr. Finch. Mr. Webb and Mr. Freeman had
very cheerfully given abundance of beautiful flowers from
their gardens, and while beauty of form and colour were
studied, the setae of smell was gratified by the uerfume
from large quantities of-clematis, judlciounly disposed onu
to till the whole chapel with the scent. The plain space in
front of the organ gallery was relieved on this ocrasion by
a lave text—. The Harvest of the Earth is Ripe," the
word', being surrounded with borders of evergreens and
flowers. The gas burners were prettily decorated with
flowers and evergreens, conspicuous amongst the former
being some very fine specimens of the Pinion flower. The
pulpit had especial care bestowed upon it, but its appear-
ance amply compensated for the trouble bestowed. Lithe
centre was a large bunch, consisting of wheat, her, and

and there with tin are and bunches of grapes. On the
C.immunion Table was laid out a collection of exceedingly
fine vegetables and fruits, and in the centre was a nicely
arranged assortment of flowers and ferns, wheat and
barley, in a virgin cork stand. Mr. Webli's pew, as usual,
was especially decorated in honour of the thanksgiving
service. Here an effective device had been arranged,
which, enveloped as it was with flowers, evergreens, sad
fruits, looked remarkably pretty, whilst on his seat were
some choice fruits, all being the produce of his conservatory
and garden. The service was largely attended, the chapel
being well nigh full, The choir had prepared a selection
of anthems and hymns for the occasion, the majority of
whicn were very creditably given. The service was opened
by a chant in which the congregation joined, after which
the Rev. J. Keynes offered an appropriate prayer. This
was followed by the choir singing the anthem "0 Lord
my God," in exceedingly good style, after which the Rev.
W. Lewis delivered a short address. The hymn "One
therein above all Others," was sung by Mrs. Crocker, Miss
C. Crocker, Miss Carter, and Messrs. C. H. Crocker,
Pover. and Baunton. In the next hymn. "God the all
Terrible," the congregation assisted the choir, whilst the
next, "Weary Gleaner," was sustained by the Misses

beginners, acquitted themselves well. The Rev. J.

several years. Mr. Edwards, M.P., per Mr. Howard,
had to everybody "no objection," and "everybody"

Several people looked out for the application which
might have been made to the County Magistrates on
Friday, for their order to pay the expenses of the

INQUEST ON AN ILLEGITIMATE INFANT.
At noon on Friday a jury were railed to enquire into
the death of Alien Ann Bunn, 17 months old, and the
illegitimate daughter of Catherine Bunn. of Stainer's
Row.
_ .

Mr-ti. Symonds presided.
The first witness called was Ann Bunn. granilmnther of
deceased, who said the chill was that of her slaughter, •
single weinan, and Pry,. horn :n her linos,: but no affiliation
order had been made for the support of it, as no applies-
lion hail loen made. Her daughter was a dreannaker,
working for Mrs. Trim. and brolight home the wages she
earned. For the last twelve ninth, the child had been
delieate, anil hail been ronstantly attended yip to the 10th
of July by Dr. Colmer ; since then he had cherontineed
his visits on account of the chin getting better. From
July the child had improved in health till about two hours
before her death, when she was taken with a eonvulsive
fit. She was foolish and did nit semi for Dr. Cohen then
nor did her slaughter. For at least twelve months the
child was suckled ; lint after that was fed on anything
they meld get, and, as Dr. (Jointer told her the child was
commutative, and she win to give It every possible
I nourishment, she fed it with such things RN beef tea and
gruel. The chill sliest yesterday at five minute. past 12,
and she went at six o'clock to Dr. Coined: for
a certificate. Ile did not refnee her: but PAM he
was too busy then: he toll her she shoal have
sent for him before the till that was the only
reason he did not give a rertitleate ; but he directed her to
call the next day at twelve. Two or three bourn before
its sleuth the child was in convulsions, anil two neighboure
came its about a quarter of an hour after the child was
token. Iler husband told her she had better send for Dr.
Colnier, but she was foolish and neglected to do no: Rho
was now cony she not neat, as this trouble would not
have crime upon her. The child was sickening with
teething, the teeth were almost through, but none were
smite through.
In answer to the jury, 3Frs. Bunn said the chill could
neither walk nor stand; it need to be taken out of the
court. It slid not waste away after the mother had left off
suckling it, and the. wasting was not from neglect.
Dr. Colmer attended Catherine Bonnet her confinement,
and the child was shout the average size when born.
After the confinement he did not attend the child for some
time.
The dates of attendance were asked for, and
Dr. (Amer imarrheil his leeiks, and said he could find no
mention of the name from May to November, he could
find no entry of having attended the child. He hail a
recollection of attending it, but not go early as the
woman** mother sail. He attended it for " consumption "
of the bowels, or deposit of tillorycle, preseril•il for it at
that time, the child being brought to his surgery, and the
attendance nonfinite,' from the 17th March till the 115th of
July, off and on. The iliarrlera would be one of
the symptoms of thliereular deposit. This would
not be consumption, generally speaking, the child in July
made a reasonable recovery from the tubercular affection
no that he discontinued his attendance. The child had
rained flesh and fat, which would indicate that it bad
had proper treatment and nourishment. The child to-day
is somewhat emaciated, thinner than he expected to see

should not insult the jury by suggesting • post mortem

that the time had been walawl.

Dr. Colmer here Made some remark to the Coroner, who
replied that he wax the master in that Court, and he would
not allow any nne to reply to him. If Dr. Gilmer bad
done what a medical man in the ordinary way would have
done— have nail—" I attended this child for consumption
of the bowels," then he (the Coroner).hnuld ha, exercised
his discretion. and probedv should not have directed an
inquest. As to the canoe of death, diarrhtrx would he one
of the symptoms of the consumption of the bowels. and
he diii not think they would hate much troulde in arriving
at a conclusion. If they were of opinion that death arose
from that consumption, they would Ray no. Ile hal always
pressed medical men to let them have terms no that every
man could understand them. The Coroner pointed out
that Dr. Colmer had attended the woman on her confine-
ment, and had attend. II the child in July 1f477. The J 1
retired, and alter a few minutes absence, they return
and the Foreman said they were of opinion that the child
died from "Natural Causes." At the same time they
thought the grandmother ought to have sent for the
doctor when the child was taken ill, and that the doctor
ought to hare gone and seen it when it was dead.

were both equally culpable, the child wu taken ill yester-
day morninz, two hours before death. Addregging the
grandmother and mother, he said the conduct of both was
degerving of the gravegt reprehengion, but he 'unpaged
that the child was in convulgions, and they thought that
if it died, there would be a welcome deliverance. But
there did not seem any reagonable excuse for departure
from the ordinary cure and affection which people have
for their children even if they are illegitimate, and he WAX
