YEOVlL—Calmer Harem —On Mon,lay eleven
members of the New Sarum club entered the lists
against a like number of the Yeovil club, to test
their skill in the manly game of cricket. With the
thermometer at so high a point as it was on Monday,
the plucky and determined manner with which the
battle was fought, proved that the competitors were
composed of that undaunted mettle which charai:
terises the Anglo-Saxon race, Yeovil won the toss
and sent in the New Sarum, the opponents of whom
were anon convinced that they had all their work
cut out to carry off the palm of victory. Nething
remarkable occurred in the operations of the first
five members of the New Sarum club, but when
Sutton and Cobb came together, then the Yeovil
club found their powers exerted to the utmost in
the attempt to displace them from the wicket. Cobb
gave a slashing hit during his career, and sent the
ball with such velocity as to MUM) it to pitch,
amid the acclamation of the spectators, into the road
immediately opposite the station doors. Sutton ob-
tained the largest number of runs, and proved that
in the match to be played at Salisbury in July,
between the New All England Eleven and the
New Sarum, should be be selected as one of the
number, honour will be done to the Cathedral City.
After Cobb and Sutton bad been disposed of, the
remainder of the New Sarum were soon quieted, the
total score including 137 runs. An adjournment to
recruit the inner man then took place. Mr. Stone's
commodious and well-arranged booth mu like an
oasis in the desert, and his catering was warmly
appreciated. We think; that as we hear some
amount of grumbling by the frequenters of the re-
freshment department of the International Exhibi-
tion, one of the managing men might advantage-
ously run down and take a few lessons in the. art
of purveying from the respected proprietor of Pen Mill
Motel, The Yeovil placed themselves at the wicket,
after discussing the good things of this life, but with
such a score before them, and croakers around who
unwisely sought to discourage them, the willow was
taken not in the most elastic spirits. Soon after the
same had been resumed, it was evident that the
Yeovil were overmatched, the sad havoc made
among the timb,rs, and the excellent fielding of the
Salisbury militating against runs being made. There
was a murmur on the ground that in the Salisbury
.team one or two professionals were included, but
upon inquiry those notions were dissipated. The
movements of one of them, certainly, throughout the
day, was sufficient to raise the doubt in the minds of
several on the ground. A reference to the score will
hest show the nature of the play on the part of the
Yeovil, and when Mr. Messiter gave promise of
making the first innings a respectable score, the
spirit of the Yeovilians rose from below sett), soon
to descend with a linal score of 28 runs as the total
of their first innings. They were again placed in,
and speaking numerically, with worse luck than
before, terminating by a total of 24 runs, leaving
Salisbury wionere ny 85 runs in one innings. Though
the battle has been fought and lost, think ye not,
gentle reader, that the Yeovil club will give way to
tits of despondency. No, it is composed of the
wrong calibre to indulge in recrimination or "cry
for spilt milk," and when they meet the Salisbury
on their own ground, we hope to have stale to tell
which will show that "where's there a will there's a
way," and that practice, patience, and perseverance
will, with willing hands and hearts, achieve great
objects. Should our fairy dreams be dispelled, of
one thing we are certain, Yeovil will, as it bas
always done, bear defeat honourably and with
equanimity. The following is the score :

Mons Floxouns You Yzom..—NN e believe that
our Own now possesses the youngest physician and
surgeon in the United Kingdom, in the person of
Mr. P. S. a Winer, (who has just attained hia
majority). son of Mr. Colmar, chemist, of Middle.
street. Having passed • very gratifying examina-
tion on the 7th and Bth inst., before the examiners
of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh,
and the Faculty of Physicians mid Surgeons of
Glasgow, he received a diploma to practice as physi-
cian, surgeon, and accoucheur. On Friday, the
father expecting his son's return to his native town,
with pardonable pride at his son's success, requested
that the bellsot St.. John's Church might be rang. In
the evening the bells proclaimed the advent of the
meritorious and studious disciple of Kiculapius,
but their music was soon hushed, much to the
amazement of the inhabitants. From inquiries
instituted we fear that jealousy on the part of other
members of the profession silenced them, while we
have heard that it was done by the churchwarden
under the orders of the vicar, because an untruth
had been told him in the first instance by the ringers
For a satisfactory answer we must wait until the
next vestry, when perhaps some literary and busi-
ness-like gentleman will be prepared with a cata-
logue of occasions on which the belle may be rung,
and prohibitions as to the events when they must
remain mute. There may be times when perhaps
the Vicar or Churchwardens might greatly and pro-
perly exclaim with the fashionable barber, who said
tii the coalheaver when he presented his coal-
*grimed face for operation, " Ready, my friend, I
Cud refuse you; I must draw the line somewhere."
By all means draw a line, but do not let it be a
crooked one. Not to be outdone, Mr. Culmer, on the
following day, engaged a band, which in a vehicle
draws by two greys traversed the town, thus pro-
Melnik& in another way that which Mr. Colmer

Cleim fos. 91.. Defendant a... 1 Ihe owed a part, and if

having been produced, his Honor deducted that sum
from the amount, and made an order to pay the
balance in two monthly instalmenta.-Hatublin v.

-Mr. Slade appeared for defeudant, who had paid El
into Court by way of caution, as Mr. Slade said, but

wrong party. It appears that defendant rents a farm
ander an agreement that he was to pay for labour sad
nails connected with repairs, and the landlord to pro-
vide rough timber-Plaintiff, in answer to his Honor,
said that both landlord aid tenant had given orders
for the rei airs. The bill now sought to be recovered
consisted exclusively of materials, and the bill for
labour had been paid by defendant -The landlord's
agent, by a memorandum attached to the bill, said
that he considered the defendant was liable for the
amount, as sawn timber had been supplied in lieu of
rough.-His Honor said it was imi ossible for him to
say how much belmged to the defendant, and how
mu-is to the landlord, and thought it would be advis-
able ta adjourn It-Mr. Slade said it appeared to him
that Mr. Tuson's (the agent) objection appeared to be,
that inasmuch as the landlord had supplied his el'e it
with sawn timber instead of rough, the defendant was
liable to pay for preparing it. New he maintained that
his client could not be called upon to pay the value of
labour in preparing it. If the bindle:A gave them
rough timber, the tenant was bound to accept it, but
if the landlord chose to give sawn timber it was nut
fair to call upon the tenant to pay for such prepare-
tion.-Adjonmed in order that the landlord might be
enumioned for the same amount owing to plaintiff in
order to times at an equitable adjuitmens.-England
r. Carter.--Claim £25.. 2d., for painting, 64.-Defen-
dent denied owing the money at first, but eventually

out justice to the parties, but the ease at length was
adjourned for the attendance of the landlord's agent.

minister at Shaftesbury, and that detentlant's rent I,r
the last few years had been £4O a year. The half year
was due at Lady-day. In cross-examination he said :
About three years ago defendant gave sureties for the
due payment of the rent. He understood that the
defendant bad no property oreffects. He would not
take O. a month, as he stood in the uncomfortable
position of • trustee, and could not consent to receive
the money by instalments. He hd a printery duty to
perform. If it wats his own 03110 he mold not have
brought Mr. Whitey into mart -Mr. Watts pleaded

at present to exist between them, hence the present
issue.-Order made for payment. -Davis v. Johnson.
-A. disputed claim for painting, which baa been before
the Court on several occasions of late, and eventually
referred to arbitration. On Wednesday, May 114, the
final evidence was taken in the matter at the Angel
Inn, at Sherborne, when the utnpire, (the arbitrators
declining) Mr. Job Randle, made his award to the
effect that the money mid into Court was more than
sufficient to satisfy plaintiff's elaim.-Mr. Chitty for
defendant, now requested that the certificate might be
filed, and a verdict entered for defendant with costs.-
