POOLE PAUPERS PRATTLE.

Posted to the printer and publisher of that powerful
periodical, which picks all petty, peevish publi-
cations to pieces, puts down paltry practices,
pities and provides for poor paupers, and pro.
tects the pockets of parishioners paying poor.
Fates :

Parsrun, —Perceiving Poole paupers, pork,
and potatoes, perpetually pourtrayed in public
print, persecuting the poor porter who perchance did
not prig, I pen this paragraph pro bono public°,
praying for place in present publication. Pray pro-
claim to all poor people that Poole paupers get only
the pork from the pickle; the prime parts were
primed ; poor petit maitre, properly punished by
poor law people, and Poole poor-house proceedings
pulled all to pieces. Prime pieces of pork pleased
the party who partook of the peas and potatoes.
Thus the pockets of the payers were perseveringly
and, painfully pulled, not for poor paupers' pre-
visions, but for presents? presents! presents! the
proprietors' privilege. Publicly persecute the pro-
tectors of the property pertaining to the prosperity
of the poor-house, pull the price of the pork out of
their pockets as penance for the past, and pray oak the
Poole people to poke into the profits of the pork, the
position of purchasers, and the petty pilfering' of
persons placed in parochial position over the pauper.

WARMINSTER.—On Tuesday evening the pre-
mises of Mr. Leaning, ironmonger, son of Mr.
Loaning, ironmonger, of Weymouth, were broken
open, and the cash-box, containing about £5O, stolen
therefrom. The thief must have been acquainted
with the premises, as he got in at the back window,
passed through the shop, and broke open the
counting-house door to get at the plunder. The
cash-box was found the next mornisg a short dis-
tance from the house. It had been broken open by
a stone, and the contents abstracted. We under-
stand that a clue to the thief has been obtained.
