having toasted "the memory of Sir Samuel Mice,
Knight." About 26 boys attended and ten old men,

TRIPS TO HILGIUM AND INDIA. - The Weymouth
Athletic Ariociatiol gave an entertainment on a plan
rather different from usual, on Tuesday evening last.
Mr. W. T. Hallett had lent his line magic lantern and
views, &wanting • trip throogh Belgium and parts of
Germany, also the "overland" voyage to India. Ileum
Jones's hand were engaged, and played appropriate
music, in order to relieve the tedium of any gap that
might occur during the shifting of the elides; and Mr.
W. R. P. Jeffery acted as cicerone. with • descriptive
lecture on the views. The whole journey went swim-
mingly till the audience arrived at the neighbourhood
of Binaural* and here there was a short pause while Mr.
&clenched Byron's well-known "Battle of Waterloo,"
which be did with appropriate energy, and • good
round voiee The journey was then resumed, and calls
were made at the fella on the Rhine, Heidelberg, the
Bads, de., winding up with some beautiful moonlight
scenes and others on the Rhine. Part IL consisted of
• trip from London to India, starting with a street
view exhibiting the Holborn Viaduct ; the succeeding
pictures exhibited part of the Thames views in the
Channel, on the west coast of Europe, in the Mediter-
ranean, the desert. and the Red Sea, at length arriving
at the great capitals of India. Music and a descriptive
lecture accompanied this exhibition also, and Kr. Style
illustrated the effects of the bombardment of Algiers by
a recitation of Lord Byron's description of the explosion
after the siege of Corinth. Some slides illustrating the
"Tale of a tub" were next shown, and Mr. Jeffery
humorously accompanied the exhibition with some
funny rhymes on the different situations. Mr. Hallett
followed with some miscellaneous pictures, among
which the "Soldier's Dream" was very effective, and
elicited great applause. The affair concluded with •
liagtiable akstch, tutitlol "The I.'llo/Ay's Dilmix,s."

THURSDAY. Before the Mayor (It N. Howard, H.q.),
H. Haggett, Encl.. J. Drew. Hu., and Dr. Ti.rd,
PRO CM TO A HOUR
A lad named GeerVe Sreplievasoss, of Chiekerell, was
charged with cruelty to a mare.
Apsey saw the ware standing at Mr. Dyer's
stores, about seven or eight on Wednesday morning.
eremined it, and found two large sores udder the collar,
and one on the head. Prisoner being asked, said that
he was in charge of the animal, which belonged to Mr.
Northover, of Chickereil. The constable had the mare
taken from the waggon and put in a stable, and on
taking off the harness found another sore on the hind
parts near the pin. The cellar and harness touched
the sores, and showed marks of the discharge. Prisoner
was apprehended. when he began to ory, and maid Mr.
Northover bad been cautioned about the hone before.
When this was repeated in court, Mr. Northover
dented it, and the boy, in answer to the Mayor, said he
heard that his master had been told of it. The mare
WY viewed by the magistrates outside the hall, and was
found to have sores in several party of the body.
Mr. James Howe, veterinary surgeon, said he Mond
the horse in a very poor condition and Idally unfit for
work, and it would he decidedly cruel to work it in it,
present state. Nearly the whole of the right side of
the face, from the eye to the nostrils wan covered with
warty tumours, and there was one very large wart, with
a very sore surface, in the middle of the rue. There
were two {Wee in front of the breast, another on the
breast, another on the point of the elbows, and several
sin ler the flank and between the thighs. The soreness
was caused by the wounds coming into conteet with the
harness, and the marks on the Dollar had been accumu-
lating for some time.
By the Mayor: It was an act of great cruelty to
'send a horse to work in such • state,"for it would be in
pain all the time it was at work, and it would never be
fit for work again. Sufficient precaution bad not been
taken to prevent the collar rubbing the wound.
Prisoner now said that his master did not know the
horse had a sore under his breast.
William John Pavey saw the horse in Weymouth on
Tuesday last, when it came into town for coal. It was
wailing and trying to feed, but could not, as the nose-
bag rubbed the sore. Blood was running down the
breast, and the boy said "If you look at his legs you
will see more." lie also said that Mr. Northover told
him to take the borne' his master had been in the
stable on Sunday, but slid not look at the home.
John Harwood corroborated Pavey's evideooe.
Supt. Vickery said prisoner had said he told his
master of the state of the horse, and so bad hi. father.
In answer to the Mayor prisoner now said he had not
told his master.
The magistrates retired to deliberate, and on their
return Supt. Vickery said the bey had told him he told
hi, master on Tuesday, but his muter said it was an
artful old horse, and would take • great deal of beating.
In answer to the Mayor, prisoner said he had mentioned
it to his young muter (Mr. Northoeer's sou).
Th Mayor said it was a very serious case, and the
the Hooch had taken time to consider it. Prisoner was
liable to three months' imprisonment. Any person at
his age mast have known the condition of the horse, if
he neglected to mention it, he was without doubt liable
to be punished. They would therefore remand the case
until the neat morning, todecide what muses to pursue,
Mr. Nothover denied that the boy had spoken to him
about the horse.
The Mayor said Mr. Northover wu in a very awk-
ward position, being liable to three months' imprison-
ment. He had better consult some one on the subject.
Mr. Drew thought it.. very bad case ; but Mr. North-
over said it arose from nothing but warts, to whirl, the
horse bad been subject sines it was a colt, and they had
been cut out several times.
A summons was iuued for Mr. Northover for allow-
ing the horse to be illtreated, and another for the father
of the boy to appear as a witness.
The boy's case was adjottred.

hor-e.
Mr. Pope : When you saw the horse was it

Ally thing the matter with the horse was that it had
these wsrt..—A. Yes. sir. -Q. When the horse was
feeding out of the nose-bag, did it flinch much.—A.
'rhea., things tweeted to rub, and the blood was running
down.—Yon could not te!l if there was pain or not ?
A . I c not tell.—Q. Do you know the warts
Ily bleed a good deal I—A. They do not bleed
except they are rubbed.
Mr. Drew: Have you ever seen 4 brxre so bad as
this?—A. I never saw • horse like this one.
Mr. Pope said that if the Bench took any notice
whatever of what the veterinary surgeon said on the
previous day, he (Mr. Pope) ought to have an oppor-
tunity of arose-examining upon it.
The Bench said they need not regard the evidence of
the veterinary surgeon, as they had had an opportunity
of geeing the anintaL
Mr. Pope woul ask them to discard from them any
impression left by the evidencse of the veterinary.
Mr. Arden :1 only bad his evidence put in as • ['latter
of courtesy, to give Mr. Pope a little information.
There was always a natural inference one 'mild not
help drawing.
George Stephenson, sen., said lie was in the employ
of Mr. Northover.
To Mr. Northover, jun., who was sitting at the side:
laid you, master, about the horse just outside the
stable door.
Witness continued : I brought the mare in
on Monday last for • ton and • Ipilf of coal in
a waggon, and I came Into Weymouth twice with
it. It had a bad place under the breast, but I don't
know when it was done • I think it was done when
George had it, some time before Christmas. The °oiler
rubbed it there. and it had armee warts between the
hind legs. It bad • wart on the right hand side of the
nose, on the near side—no, it was the off side. Nothing
else was the matter with the horse; but the warts were
raw, and I think the harness rubbed it, for there was
some blood on the blind baiter. —The collar and blind
halter were produced, end witness pointed out where
they bed rubbed. He had been working the horse
about a warm since it was so bad. First worked her on
Monday week when be saw the place, but could not tell
if it got worse every day. Thought his master was at
home during the time, and knew the horse was
worked.
Mr. Pope: Whom do you cell your master ?—A.
That one there (pointing to young Mr. Northover), be
told mete work it. I went hauling bricks at Steepleton.
—Q. Did your other master (defendant) know you
worked it ?—A.. I don't know; did'ee, master ?
(laughter.)—Q. Has that mister (defendant) ever given
von orders to work the horse. -A. No. he never did.—
Q. How much corn did you give itt—A A sack of
lois* corn a week between three, and some bay and
straw ant up in chaff. They Galls the corn maiim.—Q.
Did the horse pull well up'bill again.t colbir.—A. Not
an terrible well; he pulled terrible stiddy, terrible
slow. . . . .

In answer to Mr. Pope: Re never flinehed against
the collar, anu I did not have any trouble to put the
collar on. . .

In answer to 31r. Dress, witness said the horse had
been purging in the darn-rid ammo Christmss
on and off. Hie young master said nothing when he
told him of the stabs of the horse.
. .

I o answer to Mr. Mr. Arden witness mild defendsnt
saw him come into the stable with the horse bat did
not now tick be saw hint w..rk it..

Mr. Pole •slod for • question to be put, and witness
in reply said tire horse had been out of work for • week
at • time, but that Was not because it was unable to
work bat because there less none to do

Richard Stephenem, said last witness was his son,
he bad see him driving the horse, but not till few
day" ago.
Mr. Arden: Did you mention the sabj• ct to de.
fondant ? -A. No, I've got no more to say about it.
Mr. Arden: You must answer the questions that are
put to you. Witness (sullenly) Ugh '--He admitted,
evile.tly with reluctance, that he told hi. router it was
• had job, the horse was most too boa, to work on the
road. Witness. however, blame bard of compreheo.
ion, and was ordered round to the front of the Bench,
'where be became more commuoicatite, and admitted he
had told his muter once or twice, but be add the horse
did not appear to be suffering much.
Mr. Pops said that he amid not dispute the fact of
thefts's. of the horse ; but he could that defendant did
not know the horse had been worked, although the last
four or five days it bad been sent for coal. The horse
usually sent on this work bad sprained its bank. Mr.
Northover was pushed to provide for the hauling being
done, and his .on sent this animal with • good strong
bolus and with orders only to bring a ton and • half.
The animal had been kindly treated, gni in feet had
hail a foal by her side up to the end of autumn, and
had only been worknd 'Mu Chriatinas, and then on
odd jobs only. It had been in Mr. Northover'. posses.
&ion for ten years, and had been frequently treated for
warts, by Mr. Rowe and Mr. Redwood, who had often
been employed to cut them out. The warts bled •
great deal, but there was no pain, therefore they were
not like raw places. He could bring witnesses to show
that the hone did not flinch or jib as it would if iii
pain. Mr. Joseph Northover, the defendant, had
nothing to do with the case; but his 11011, who had
w.ieen orders, would submit to such punishment as the
Court might inflict
Mr. T. E. Northover said he would take care the
horse should not be ill-treated in future. His father
had noihing to do with the case.
. _

Oo the enquiry of Mr. Arden, he eonsented to have
the horse killed immediately. and the Bench maid if
defendant would give nis authority for that, it would
make • difference in their decision.
Defendant agreed to this.
The Bench than adjourned the ease for half-an.honr.
On their return Mr. Northover was fined £5 and all
costa, and the horse was ordered to be killed.
The summonses far working the animal on the sth
and 6th were abandoned, and the case against the
carter boy was dismissed.
