Legal.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
BALER V. BOUND.

Mr. Skinner, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. H. James for the defendant.
The plaintiff, John Baker, was formerly • cattle.
dealer at Romford, and be sued the defendant, Henry
Bound, who was a butcher, to recover damages for a
false representation as to the value of a butcher's buil,
nese which he had sold to the plaintiff. It appeared
that on the 11th of October last the following advertise.
ment appeared in the Dieparch newspaper :—"lmpor.
tent to Butchers.—Excellent Buxinesa Opportunity for
Capital.—The proprietor of an old-established
business, doing upwards of £4O per week, and in an
occupancy of 24 years, being about to retire from the
trade, affords an opportunity seldom met with for safely
commencing business, being situated in • respectable
marketing neighbourhood, where • profitable family and
ready-money trade must alwaye be commanded. Parti.
culars of Mr. Sergeant, 54, St. John-street, Smithfield."
Attracted by this advertisement the plaintiff applied,
and, being satisfied with the neauranee which he re.
ealved as to the business done, he entered into an agree•
ment to purchase the goodwill and some fixtures for the
sum of LW. Of thin sum a portion only was paid down,
and a bill of £lB was given for the balance. Soon after
the plaintiff entered on the business he discovered that the
customers did not come so fast sibs expooted, and, after
a abort time, another shop which had been closed was
opened in the neighbourhood. The result was that the
plaintiff did not do moro than half the business he ex.
',noted. He was told that his meat was too fat, and
when he procured a leaner kind he still failed to attract
oustomers loft. Chapel-street, Bentonville ; and accord-
ingly, on the '24th of December, before the first quer.
ter's rent became duo, lie removed his furniture and left
the premises open. l'ho superior landlord took posses.
sion, and, having sold the few things he found there,
utile the defendant pay the difference in the rent. The
present action was then brought. It appeared the
plaintiff had not paid the £lB bill which he had given
for the balance of the purchase, but a cross action Was
pending to recover that amount.
The defence was that there had been no false repro.
sentation, and that the business done by the defendant
was equal, or nearly so, to what had been represented.
It was proved the defendant bad given RAO for the lease
and fixtures a short time previously, when he took the
business of a Mr. Bolton, who had carried it on for more
then 20 years, and had eupported a large family of eight
children out of the profits.
Mr. Justice Coleridge having summed up the eel.

The jury, after a long consideration, found for the
plaintiff— Damages, RIO.

to Mr. John Easton, pot pipe, maker, Kinson. The

being estimated at £lOO. The fire is supposed to
have spread from a furze roof adjoining the drying

DORSET COUNTY FRIENDLY SOCIETY.—The
mini-
versary of this branch of the above society is to be
celebrated by a public dinner, itc., on Whit Monday,
on which occasion the Rev. H. F. Yeatman, LL.B.,
has kindly consented to take the chair, and we have
no doubt a goodly company will be present to sup-
port the rev. gentleman.
DEATH FROM LIGRTNING.—On Thursday last this
town and neighbourhood were visited by a most
terrific thunder storm. The rumbling of distant
thunder was heard during the whole of the morning,
and about 1 o'clock the storm passed over the town,
and so heavy were the clouds and vivid the lightning
that at one time it appeared as if the shades of night
had set in. We have heard of much damage done
' by the lightning, and regret to say that one man was
killed. The deceased's name was Charles Roberts,
a mason of Child Okeford, engaged in repairing the
house of Mr. Josiah Light, of Fiddleford Farm, in
this parish. It appears he was mixing mortar with
a spade, when the electric fluid was attracted by it,
and passed from the implement to the right side of
the man's body. He fell and died instantly. The
deceased has left a wife and family to lament his loss.
It is hoped they will meet with the sympathy of the
benevolent. A boy standing by was also struck
down, but sustained no material injury.

There was a good supply of wheat. Sales were quick,
and in many instances s trifling advance was realised.
In barley very few sales were effected, and prices re.
inained unchanged.

At the principal provincial corn markets on Saturday
last there was a tolerably good show of wheat and a fair
attendance of farmers. The wheat trade was inactive,
and to effect sales farmers were compelled to submit to
a reduotion of is. per quarter on last week's ratei.
There was not much doing in barley. Oats were a small
supply, and prices were fully as high as last week.
Beans were, in many oases, a small show, and good
qualities made extreme rates.

LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, MAT 15.
There has been more disposition to do business in
foreign wool, and sales have been made more freely than
for seine time past. Quotations have undergone little
change, although in some cases a little in favour of
buyers. The pul,lio sales of colonial wools going on
still in London continue to engage the attention of the
trade. In the absence of any material support from
foreign buyers prices have varied very little sines the
commencement. on the 29th ult. They will last till the
end of the month, and it is generally expected that pre-
sent rates will be maintained. Scotch has met with
rather more inquiry at former rates, and stock are re-
ported to be light.

FRANCE.
The French Government will concentrate both its
naval squadrons, that of Toulon as well as that of
Brest, at the approaching review at Cherbourg.
The new election for the sth district, rendered
necessary by the incompleteness of that which took
place on the 26th ult., has ended in a triumph for the
Opposition. M. Eck, the Government candidate, had
8,976 votes; M. Picard, his opponent, polled 10,323.
This majority secures • seat for -Picard.
In a debate in the Corps Legislatif on Saturday, ob-
jections against the Paris Improvements Bill were urged
with considerable force and spirit by several members.
The bill was voted by 180 suffrages against 45, and the
session being over, the house separated with the
customary cries of " Vive PEmpereur I" The minority
in • house consisting, with four exceptions, of Govern-
ment nominees, is strikingly large.
The idea of placing Prince Napoleon at the head of

It is proposed to name him Governor-General, Lieut.

A German gentlemen was in the pita stalls of the
Odeon Theatre on Wednesday night with his son, a
handsome lad of fifteen. Between the acts • sergent-
deville bustled up to them, and in a sneering tone of
voice, audible throughout the pit, said "The Commis-
sary of Police desire to speak to you and the lady in his
private room." The gentleman, astonished, and not a
little indignant, rose from his seat, and followed by his
son was ushered into the presence of the commissary.
This functionary addressed him as follow' :—"Sir, in
France a woman is not allowed to appear in public in
male attire without authorization. Have you an
authorisation ?" The answer was, "Sir, Ido not know
what you mean by talking of women ; this is a boy."
The commissiary then surveyed the youth from bead to
foot, and observing "Well, I see he has incipient
mustachios —that is enough," allowedj the parties thus
strangely disturbed to depart, but he did not vouchsafe
to offer • word of apology.

The funds are somewhat better to-day, but there is
atilt an unsettled feeling with respect to the next few
days. Operation' are undertaken very sparingly, but
the belief appear" to be that prices will be better. At
all event', there is no substantial reason why any mate-
rial depression should take plaoe, as everything, eoui.
thercially speaking, is in favour of a rise. A good deal
of specie has found it. way here recently, and though
some small parcels of bullion have gone out of the
Bank coffers, there is no reason to apprehend that a
drain of any moment will set in; though it Ii quite cer.
tam that if encouragement is given to the various
foreign schemes and .hare,, which are making their ap-
pearance in our markets, the money-market will soon
feel the effect of the constant withdrawal of specie to
pay call'. Busineu wu.tolerable brisk, but very limited.

The little revolts of peasantry in Russia which began

more numerous, and extend to the extremity of Russia,
for we hear of some having taken place near Bardiousk,

a character menancing to the Government, and are

It is again regorted that Prince Gortschakoff is on the

INDIA.

The following telegram has been received from
Malta, dated ?day 15, 8 a.m.
Despatches received from Bombay state that Sir
Edward Lugard relieved Asiingliur on the 15th, losing
only one officer and five men killed of the 10th Foot.
Ge.neraA Grant hr 4 marched from Lgsknow onflysabad.
The Commander-in-Chief had sent INFataff torawnpore
on the 12th, and Wati to march to Futtingliur. Briga-
dier Seaton had defeated the rebels near that station;
they were totally routed, lost two guns, and all their
ammunition. Our loss was slight; the enemy had
some 300 killed and wounded. The Kotah fugitives are
endeavouring to make for Calpee. The Rajah of Motels
had been tried for implication in Major Burton's
murder, and, it is believed, had been acquitted. A small
Bombay force has defeated a body of rebels in the
Midtpoora mountains; otherwise all is quiet in the
Presidency.
The following telegram, dated Malta, was reoeived at
the East India-house on Saturday, May 15, 7 37 p.m. :
To J. D. Dickenson, Esq., India-house, London.
Sir H. Rose's advance on Calpee has been delayed by
the fear that the Kotah rebels will fall on Jhansi.
Orders have been issued to General Roberts to advance
to Kotah, to co-operate with Sir H. Rose. This
military movement is reported since the capture of
I gotoh. The Rajah is on trial before a commission for
not having saved Major Burton and his sons from being
murdered. The Sikh (?) force, under Major Evan',
after an obstinate battle of some hours, inflicted a
severe defeat on a large body of Bheels and Mekrivee (?)
in the Santpore Hills on April 11. Sixty men and 400
women were captured. Our loss was severe, 71 killed
and wounded; among the latter five officers—Captain
Birch, Lieutenant Basevi, Lieutenant Blair, Lieutenant
Atkins, and Lieutenant Pauret (?).

engineer. His Worship added that ?dr. Tapp had inten-
ded to bring the question of the water supply before the
Board in consequence of an anonymous letter which
appeared In a newspaper, and which letter was ascribed
generally to the Rev. Osmond Fisher ; but Mr. Tapp WAS
obliged to attend a consultation at Puncknowle, and had
requested his Worship to apologize for his non-attend-
ance. . .

The TOWN Cram mid that as an anonymous letter
whioh had appeared in a newspaper had caused some ob.
Nervations at • former meeting, he had been seised if
the letter had been communicated to Mr. Whitehead.
He had sent a written copy of the anonymous letter to
Mr. Whitehead, writing to the following effect: I enebsee
a lettar to you which has appeared in a newspaper, and

Which is generally ascribed to the Rev. Osmond Fisher ;
and the Council at their next meeting will naturally ex-
pect Borne explanation from you in reference to it.
The subjoined reply, which the Tonn Clerk then read,
was received on Saturday :

and
J. J. FARQUHARSO-V, Esq.

To the Editor of the Doreet County Expreze and
Agriculiural Gazette.
Langton, May 12.
SIR,

My attention having been called
to a letter in your paper of yesterday from the Rev.
H. F. Yeatman, I beg to say *bat the mistake (inex-
cusable as he terms it) is o I,his part, and not on
mine.
I could not possibly he d to attribute to
the ,rev. gentleman anyt4in w h pawed at the
Henstridge meeting, well kno n hat lie was not
present; and further, considering that he would not
advocate proceedings which I thought he could not
approve, and in which I am borne out by the decla-
ration in his letter. lam sorry that he still speaks
of my long•continued and unrelenting unkindness
to him. I have been, I feel, much more sinned
against than sinning; but I have no wish, and it
will ill become either of us in the evening of our
days to raise up old/grievances. Let by-gones be
bylones.

431.,
to point out an a ppaArlelioltw mabscitirt liroditiyigmh yoreouresepoeclumiainiya
affecting strangers who visit the magnificent blinder
at Wimborue for the purposes of Divine worship. It
is needless to urge the impossibility of singing to
God and worshipping Him truly in spirit and in
truth, when nobody (excepting the choir) even know
the particular tones in which the services are to be
given. At Winchester, Salisbury, and other places
where Cathedral service is performed, the names of
the composers are published in the local papers.
And although the church at Wimborne has the sem-
blance of, and is in fact, is mere parish church, yet
full services are attempted and sometimes tolerably
well done, but the congregation are entirely unaware
when a new service is to be sung, so that they
might have the chance of procuring a copy of it
(threepence each being the cost), and thus that
which ought to be vitally done from the heart, often
turns out to be a solemn mockery; or, at best, an
amusement gratifying the ear of the hearers only.

SALISBURY.—Sudden Death of the County Sur-
veyor.—The Royal Wilts Yeomanry Cavalry had
been eight days on duty in Marlborough, and were
reviewed on Wednesday week, after which there was
a fete at Tottenham Park. Shortly after dinner,
Mr. J. M. Penieton, of Salisbury, the respected
county surveyor, and Serjeant-Major of the Royal
Wilts Yeomanry Cavalry, was suddenly seized with
illness. He was immediately removed into the
house, and notwithstanding that medical aid was
instantly at hand, and every means adopted, he
never rallied, surviving his attack only a very short
time. The sad event was known at the time to but
few, the company generally being quite ignorant of
what had taken place. Immediately on hearing of
this melancholy intelligence the whole of the mem-
bers of the Salisbury troop left the ground, and
returned to their quarters at Marlborough.

Guilty, and was sentenced to Ten Years Penal

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

FRTDAV, MAY 14.—The chow of samples is still only
moderate ; nevertheless, we have no improvement to
notice in tho demand. Good and useful hops, of last
year's growth, command full prices; but all other kinds
are very dull :

The business of our market during the past week has
been very limited, but the scarcity of fine samples and
the unkindly arrearsnce of tho bin e hsve imparted firm-
ness to prices. The imports of foreign hops into Lon•
don lost week were 7:lbalcs from Hambro,' and 60 from
Hamburg.

CAPE OF GOOD FIOII

The Kaffir nation is reported to be almost altogether
broken up. Hostilities were imminent between the
Boers of the Orange Free State and the chief, Bosch.
An English clergyman, Mr. Wilson, had been murdered
by the Kaffirs, as is supposed, and many other murders
are laid to the account of these people. The Cape Par-
liament was busy with measures of internal improve-
ment, the progress of the colony being very marked.
The Cape mail gives us the following intelligence :
" In the Governor's speech, at the opening of Parlia-
ment, the unexpected announcement VMS made that the
King of Delhi is to be confined at Fort Cox, a *mall
fortress in British Marina."

of doubt but we ire soured that there exista a
reamonablo probability of a euilicient sum being
realized to allow the areignees to offer something
more than a dividend of to. in the pound. The
suppow d deficiency in the India Mutiny Fund is
explained by the &ate, that a few persons had not
paid the subscriptions which their names were
entered for, and a email proportion of the money
received by the agents appointed by the committee
had not been paid into Oak and Mnow's bank. We
believe the whole sum subscribed, with the reap.

Plowman was summoned by Mr. Charles Godwin,
of Shroton, for being drunk, and also for neglecting his
duty. The summons for the latter offence was not
pressed, as the man appeared warty for what he had
done, and he wee therefore fined only ss. and costs.

Edward Matthews and Franci• Elkins were sum-

Lord Portman, at four o'clock in the morning of the

money, but Matthews was taken to gaol.

Dorchester, Dorset, England, 1858-05-11

For the amendment
In favour of the rate

The original resolution was then put and carried.
Mr. BARTLETT (a Scotch schoolmaster), then de.
mended a poll, which, after considerable disouasion
and diepute, the Chairman decided should be coin.
menced at once, and terminate the following day at
4 o'clock. _ . .

.
Mr. CHARLES HENVILLE (Dissenter) then said that
although he was as much opposed to the rate as any
one present, he could but think that, looking at the
majority at the present meeting, and the persona on
the rate book, there was no chance of preventing the
rate being made, and therefore he hoped for the sake
of peace, Mr. Bartlett would withdraw his demand
for a poll. (Applause.)
Mr. BARTLETT hereupon indulged in some rather
violent attacks on the Church of England, and otfen.
sive remarks on the conduct of Mr. Charles Renville,
which were ill received by the meeting, and brought
on Mr. Bartlett some well merited rebukes from the
Chairman.
_ . _

W. H. Atkinson, Fag., and Mr. JIIIIIOII Domoney
were then appointed to take the poll, and Mr. Henry
F. Fisher was requested to watch the proceedings in
behalf of the Dissenters.

At the close of the poll on Friday afternoon the
numbers were deolareof ae follows:
