DONAU COUNTY POULTIT AND PIGEON SHOW.—
II has been decided to hold the 7th grand ethibition
on the 14th and 15th of January next. Amongst the
additional cleaves added we find one for "Caen" and
"Pekin" ducks, fhis society appears always to be
striving to add some fresh attraction, and In the com-
ing show prizes are to be offered for terriers and toy
dogs. We trust the public will do their utmost to
womanise the society by their support. To carry out
an exhibition of the dimensions the Dorchester Show
has grown to involves an immense amount rf hard
work on the part of the committee, and we only hope
their efforts to keep up this now old-established thew

able evening was spent. lisiitations and singing by the
choir, address. by Br ie. Duffed, Staple, Dottrelt,
and Randall weregiven, and during the interval refresh-
ments were handed round. There were nearly three
hundred present. The "Hope of Weymouth " must
be commended for this class of entert•inment, the
effect being that a large number of outsiders were
drawn in to whom the benefits of total abstainence
were fully expounded.

Mayor (G. E. Eliot, Esq.), B. Hopkins, Esq.. and J.
E. ltobene F.sq., on a charge of stealine a pound of
ham, value is. 6d., the property of Mrs. Watch.—The
prosecutrix deposed that she kept a general shop at
52, High-street. She saw the two men just after 11
o'clock on Saturday night. Owens came into the
shop, and Davies stayed outside in the passage. Owens
asked for a pound of ham. elm told him the price,
and niter she had cut it off and weighed it, he took it
tip and ran of with it, without paying for it. DOW=
ran off too. There was another ',Miler th,re. but he
was so tipsy that he could not run.—P.C. Stickland
geld he was on duty in High-street at the time, in
eotnpany with P.C. Easton. He saw the two prisoners
Gni another soldier, and they asked him the war to
Portland. He followed them, and saw them go into
Mrs. Watch's shop. They all three went in first, but
two of them came out again. Whets, watched the
shop, and Noon afterwards two of the piiismiers ran
off, and Mrs. Watch cams out and said, "They have
gone away with my ham." Ile and the other consta-
ble followed them and overtook them near Lansdowne,
where they took them in custody. He found the ham
on Owens. The third soldier was drunk, and in his
opinion had nothing to do with the theft. When he I
charged them they 01H they did not care; they were I
drafted for India. and did not want to go, aral if they
got six months they void I not be able to go.—B ith
pleaded guilty, but said it w.ut through the drink.—
Serge Mitchell, 56th, said Downs had been in the
regiment only A few mouths and was under orders for
India. The colonel wished them to be punished as an
example. Downs below the only one of whom he
could speak, had a previous! good charnel r.—Corporal
Pa yne alsolestified to Owen a previntie good character.

the reason for c numittine the offence was that he

D ircheeter for three weeks and Owens for • month.
IMr InTANT RAILWAY CLAIM.— At the County Court,
Siatiir•lay. before T. E. I'. Lerma-, Esq. (Jittlee). the
,•hlef engineer on board H.Nt.e. Warrior sued the
G.W.E. Company for 9.. 6 L, expense- incurred owing
to the company not keeping their time.—Ar. Polly
llooper appeared for the c Pinnany.—le appeared :hat
plaintiff booked himself from Portland to Weymouth,
where he took a return t Dorchestee. On returning
fr no Dorchester the train arrived at Weym•iuth
exactly at seven o'clock instead of fifteen minutes
past six, whereby he lost the train to Portland. The
amount claimed was for dinner, taking him across to
ch., Warrior, &c. This had occurred for three Satur-
days following, but he only claimed for one of them.—
Mr. Pelly Pooper : Where is your ticket have
not got it.—Have you given the c •mpany notice to
pro Inca it? -No.—Have you given them notice to
pr eluos the time tables.—No, I have not given them
otis. I have only stated the facts.—Mr. Hooper :
Then the cams is at an end, for he ha, not preyed the
c oitract in any way, for it has been decided by Chief
iiptice Earle that it must be produced to prove the
contract. The company does not wi.h to take ad-
vantage of him, but he must prove his CAWS—Mr.
I liemer also put in the eadonement on the c impeny's
time eables t the effect "That the company do not
nod, rtake that the t-sins shall start at the time
specified in their bill. ; nor will they be accountable
for any Ina, inconvenience, or injury which may aria.
(rim delay or detention, unions upon proof that such
lone inconvenience, injury, delay, or detention arose in
coneequerme of the wilful misconduct of the'Company's
eervant,."--His Honour: It bee been proved over and over
a.min the Company cannot absolve themselves by such
on endorsement.—Plaintiff swore there was gross
neglig•nce on the part of the Company's servants,
because at Upwey the train stopped for some time
because the guard and porters were chatting together.
They ware not collecting tickets, as there were ant
mire than 20 or 30 people in the train.—Mr. Pelly
Hooper. however, strongly hell that he had not made
out his case, Is not proving the contract, and quoted
a case in support of his argument. He claimed as •
mat'er of Lew that the plaintiff should be non-suited.
—His Honour: It has been decided over and over
stale.. It is perfectly preposterous that a train should
be three•quemers of an hour late.—Frederick Joyes
said he remembered the train. He had charge of it
from Swindon. It was late there owing to the heavy
traffic of the down main line. It also last considerable
time at Westbury, and again at Frome, all owing to
the same range the extra traffic. They were 37
minutes late at Dorchester, thirty-nine at Upwey, and
38 at Weymouth. It was not possible to have done
the journey quicker.—Mr. Collett, station-master at
Weymouth, remembered the train being late on the
1 day in question. It arrived at 6 53. He had not the
slightest Idea at the time of the cause of the train
being so late. It was generally the rule that if the main
Iline train Was signalled at Upwey, the Portland train
, should welt for it; but if it was not eignalled it was
; generally considered to be too late for the Portland
; train to wait. The train in queetein was unusually
I hesey.-1 his being the evidence his Honour gave the
plaintiff a verdict.-51r. Pally Hooper Raked leave to
appeaL- His Honour: I shan't give it.—Mr. Pelly
Hooper: Then I must ask you for a copy of your
Honour: I shan't give it. The expellees
were incurred owing to the negligence of the Company
in not keeping their time. It was occasioned by their
own mismanagement in not providing the extra means
for the siara tritts, Mr. Pell, Hooper Will you
give nun leave to airi th m pa . Company pay she costs?
—llls Honour n, In • paltry nirm-and.sixpenny
Case I won't.—Me, Polly Hooper: Not it the Company
pay the oosts? Why, they appeal in the House of
Lords for only a penny.—Ma Honour: I won't do it.
—Mr. Polly Hoopes: Ills a question of princiele, not
• personal case.—His Honour: A wealthy company
like this ; why no one will dare to fieht them If that
goes on. —A verdict WAS accordingly given with costs.

Perhaps the youn4 people were as much at home ta
the favourite " Sri° in the arms of Jesus" si in any
part; but it must be admitted that Pope's Ode was
rendered much more deservedly than we might have
expected, considerinu how often "Vital spark" is
beard and bow critical one is apt to become over the
readering of what we have frequently enjoyed. '.y
should like to hear the whole of t e music again rung
by this choir, and "Vital Spade as much as either
Piece. Of studied effects the principal was that of
the funereal music of the march, pl &red by Misa
Pouney, Mr. Stevens. and Mr. Frampton in an
adjoining mom, where it was beard with very impre..
ales effect. The *waning was most agreeably spent
by the audience, and we are convinced that such
merolees must do the young people much good.
