POOLC firakil;lt DOM—The ease of the Cor-
poratin of Pooie V. George Jennings, of tbe
Sonth•Western Pottery, Parlostone, being • claim
for dues at flaltern's lake, tame before the Court
of Common Pleaa, on Tuesday. The defendant
contends he is not liable, as Seltarn's lake is not
" within the town and comity of Poole," but lb*
Corporetion say the Aot empowering them to collect
does extends to the whole harbour of Poole. There was
a big array of counsel, which portends big fees, but
after ten minutes' talk, it was agreed that a nominal
verdiet should be taken for for the plaintiffs, and
that Mr. Kingdon, Q.C., should be employed to tabs
evidence touching the dispute, and state "a ease" for
the court above, set forth the facts of the dispute
on Nosh cite, so that the question may be argued before
the judges.
Conrrnt 1101 MUNICIPAL HOnOulis. —On Friday the
election t fill the vacancy caused by the disluah6 Arida
of Mr. W. Wilkinson, took place at the Guild-hail
before Alderman Goole and the aseesurs of the month
east ward (Messrs. Buckley and Clench). Three nomi-
nations hail been sent in Menus. Ellis, Henry Burden,
and Robert Hellen, but Mr Ellis, surgeon, having beea
nominated to the office without conceit declined to
come forward, although one or two gentlemen of the
Liberal party canvassed a portion of the ward on Ms
behalf. There appears to have been some inisonder-
Audit% betas, the Liberals of the town; as we stated
in the Dorset Express lest week it was arranged that
there should not be • contested election, u the met
would again b• come vacant in Novi inter next, but
opposition to this judicious arrangement persons were
nominated, and it is now seen by the result that it
would have been much wiser for all parties to have
abided by the arrangement entered into. Had Yr.
Western been nominated to the °Moe (as he should have
been instead of Mr. Ellis) there is no doubt it would
have been • sharply untested election, and Mr.
Western, having considerable loul influence, might
possibly have been returned. Certainly, Mr. Western
has not been well treated by the Liberal party. Perhaps
one or two aentlemen were afraid that Mr. Western
would have outdone them in the local parliament, by
his aueney of ereeeh and sound common sense, and
therefore they refrained from nominating him. What-
ever the reason may have been, we hope in November
nest ti state that Mr. W. N. Western lies been elected
• councillor of the borough of Poole. The stele of the
poll on Friday at four o'clock was follows:
Mr. Henry lnrien (Conservative) 72
Mr. Robert Belben (Independent) ll
Alderman Ouse declared Mr. Henry Borden duly
e'eeted • councillor for the south-east Ward. Mr.
Burden returned thanks for the honour conferred upc•
him by the bargemen.
