Frederick Atkins, manager of the Canteen at Dor-

to cash a cheque. He wrote his name on the back,
paired it to Meals. Williams' Bank. and gave prisoner
the money.
Sergeant-Major William Robson said the prisoner
was a gunner in his battery. He knew the prisoner's
handwriting. To the best of his belief, the handwrit-
ing ,in the MS. copy of the Mom prospectus was

Head•Grustable Charles Coward said he appre-
hended prisoner On another charge and searched his ,
quarters, and amour; his effects found the letter sworn
t• by Mr. Round, several copiai of the Übique
prospectus, and other printed torpors. He had made
enquiries, but could find no such publitaitiou as the
Obiqiu in existence.
Joseph Turner, battery padmen of the R. H. A., ,
saki in July prisoner said be expected letters addressed
to Fruit Moncar, R.A., and that they were to
be given to him. He did receive such letters, and
gave them to Gunner Blake. lie served in Afghan-
istan with the prisoner. bat had not heard of the
Übque. There was a MS. jow nal published from the
staff, and circulated round the camp. He had not
seen or heard of the Übique since he had been at
Dorchester.
Mr. Willits called the attention of the Court to the
fact that the prisoner sometimes signed himself
" R.A.," is addition to "R.H.A.," which might have
meant Royal Academician.
Prisoner then addressed the jury. He was not
prepared with his defence. as he was led to believe he
should have counsel. He should like to state
publicly he was very sensible of the kindness and
gentlemanly behaviour of Major Brough, who had
endeavoured to obtain counsel in his behalf, but was
prevented by what some might call force of circum-
stances, but whet he should say wee bigoted opinion.
He would now endeavour to tell the jury the candid
truth. In July last he answered an advertisement in
the London papers, and in consequence of that
answer be received a visit from a person who styled
himself Frank Moccar. He repreeented himself as
being the promoter or rather the director of a public
company, which was formed for • the purpose of
transacting any legitimate bushiest. which would yield
• margin of profit; that the shareholders or thorn who
intended to join the company were, until it wee
established on • firm footing, to do all they
could for the good of the concern; that it was intended
to start a Journal, but the title had not been agreed
up in, and, as the company was in its infancy, and
could not afford to pay secretaries, reporters, and each
like, every member would have to do the best he could.
Upon that he agreed, as well as several others, to
launch off his little store, which he might say was no
inconsiderable store for • gunner, and in addition to
that he gave his name, time, and eervioes for the pro-
motion of the journal. The consequence waa circulars
were sent to duff-rent firms soliciting orders for adver-
tisements, but nearly every circular was argued by
Frank Moncar. He had no opportunity whatever of
procuring evidence, and only two hours ago he wished
to have • witness down, who would prove that he did
not fetch the circulate from the printing office. That
person paid him monthly visits, and it WIN be who
signed the cheque of Messrs. Wright and Round. He
would swear it was not his handwriting, and if it was
subjected to minute inspection it would be seen that
there was the name "Charles William Blake" written
underneath Frank Moncar in pencil, it having been
rubbed out with bread. It was written by the person
who wrote the letter acknowledging the receipt of the
cheque sent to Frank Moncar. He denied that he
was guilty of obtainieg the money by false pretencee,
but that he acted under the directions of the manager
of the public company referred to.
The Chairman having carefully reviewed the evi-
dence, the jury, without any hesitation, found the
prisoner guilty.
With regard to the other case. Mr. Wilke consulted
the prosecution, and informed the Court that they
did not intend to proceed with that charge. He
however, gave a brief outline of the case. Prisoner
seamed to have had • very peculiar and very extensive
system of fraud. for beyond the caries brought forward
be appeared to have obtained large quantities of MS.
novelettes and novels from various per. one on the
pretence that they would be published in one or other
of the numerous magazines with which he was connected.
He then mint these MiS. to London publishers, Chatto
and Windus, and others, and disposed of them.
Certain complaints were made to Mr. Superintendent
Coward, and he had acted moot skilfully in the matter,
because Mailed of waiting until people were them-
selves aware of the fact that they had been
defrauded, he quietly stepped in, took the prisoner
Into custody, and was the first to inform the people
they had been defrauded. Among the other forms of
fraud was a Matrimonial Journal, and in connection
with this one young lady had sent money, f3r some
object which she hoped would remit in her happiness.
He could not shut his eyes to the fact that the prisoner
had borne • good character, and had served well in
Afghanistan. He possessed • good education, but
appeared to have exercised it to swindle people right
sod left.

APPLtroN rdit A I) to Lace/see —At the
B rough Petty S'll•i0II• on Tuesday Me Neebe, lessee
of the Theatre Royal, applied for a dramatic license
for th- &into& Assembly R mans for four months. On
the 11th .4 July "Patience" would be produoed, on
August 20th, " lolanthe," and on the nth of that
month a company for seven nights. They had not
sufficient accommodation at the present Theatre. In
consequence of some legal formalities the Bench would
not grant the Ipplication until seven de) is had elapsed,
therefore the matter will tome before them on Tuesday
next.
TRI BOROUGH RIVOLDB.—On the lit of August a
descriptive catalogue of the charters, minute books.
and other documents of this borough, from A.D. 1252
to 1800, will be published by Messrs. Sheeran and Son,
at the direction of the Mayor (R. N. Howard, Esq.) and
Corporation. The work, which is by H. J. Mottle,
M.A.,. is of very moderate coat, and will be of very
great Interest. For farther particulars we refer our
readers to a notice in our advertising columns.
Wirnoorif Bicretx Curet—The weekly run of this
club was to Puddletown eira Warmwell Cross,
Moreton, and Tincleton, returning through Dorches-
ter. Only five member, turned up, several having in
the afternoon attended the I) dchester Market with
the Captain, Mr. G. Hominy, and perhaps that
accounted for so few taking the long rue. To. route
on Wednesday next will be to Admiral Hardy's
Monument, if fine.
Gun AND Gans Licumen.— We find by the Inland
Revenue Act, 46 Vic., Ch. 10, passed this season, that
considerable changes have been made respecting game

TileaTag Korai, —This theatre, we learn, will shortly
pass into the hands and be under the management of
a local and very popular caterer for the amusement of
the public, and, further, that it i, his intention to
spent a considerable sum of money in newly fitting up,
decorating, and making it In every respect a theatre
and hall worthy of the town. Several first-class com-
panies have, we hear, already been booked under the
new management, sod we have no doubt that the
popularity of the new lenses and manager, and the
veneral conlideaca secured by him, will command •
financial success, make the place an attr.ction to the
town, and effectually supply a long-felt want.
Dausefureeen At the Petty_ Session, on
Tuiwday, before the Mayor (R. N. Howard, Esq.),
Dr. Drew, J. Robertuii, En., .1. E. Roblin., Earl.,
and T. Abbot, Esq., Eliza Jacobs was summoned
for being drunk on the 28th of June.—P.C, Laile
stated that on Thursday last, he was on duty on the
bridge. About ten in the evening be saw defendant,
who was on the Weymouth aide of the bridge, fall
down, drunk and incapable. He took her home. He
was quite oure she was drunk. Defendant admitted
that she bad had • glass of beer with a friend, but
denied that she was drunk. She suffered from giddl.
nese in the head, and that caused her to fall. The Mayor
remarked that giddiness in the head was • natural
consequence of being drunk. The Bench were very
sorry to see an old woman like her brought before them.
They would let her off this time on payment of costs,

The Chairman expressed regret at seeing a man of
the prisons?. education and position in such a situa-
tion. They took into consideration the fact that he ,
had been already in prison for two months, and I
sentenced him to nine months' imprisonment with hard
labour.
Mr. Wills. raised the question as to the expense cf
the prosecution. If Mr. Round or Mr. Whittincham
had found out they were defrauded sod given informs-
Lion to the police, prisoner would have been taken to
their respective counties, which would have borne the
expense, hut because the Dorchester polloe had gone
out of their way, sod had done their duty with great
ability, it did not seem fair that the borough of Dor.
cheater should be saddled with the expense. He
suggested whether there might not be some way of
allowing the expenses out of the county.
The Chairman said the Court was always very
ready to take any matter of this kind into considera-
tion, but then they must look for those who made the
application to tell them what to do.
Mr. Willes said he did not know whet was the
practice of the Court.
The Chairman warn informed the Secretary of State's
rules would sot admit of it.
It was understood the matter was loft open, the
Chairman remarking if anything c min be done he
should be glad to take it into consideration.
The Court then rose.

A DMPOTE BITWIIII " CABlall."—At the Borough
Police-court, on Tuesday, before the Mayor (R. N.
Howard, Esq.), Dr. Drew, J. R Merteon, Esq., J. E.
Robens, Esq., and T. Abbot, Esq., Thomas Colman,
• cab-driver, was summoned by Thome* Abbott,
another cabdriver, for depriving him of his fare.—
Complainant stated he was a licensed cab-driver. On
Friday afternoon they were both on the Stand, at the
King 'a statue, in their proper rank, he being first and
defendant second. A gentleman came along by Mr.
Croyden's and held up his stick for a cab, but before
he could get up on the box, defendant had driven off,
out of hie turn, and took the fare. When he came
back he "twitted" him that he had done him out of
another 3s. job.—Defendant, in his deism's, said that
on the day in question • gentleman came to him, and
asked him what be would take him to Wyke for, and
he replied 3e. The gentleman said be wanted to go
Into the town first, for about ten minutes, and when
be returned he was to pick him up. The gentleman
did come back, and, as Abbott said, held up his stick,
and he went and took him up. He did not " twit "
Abbott about having done him out of • job.—John
Spencer Bleathman, • cab-driver, said that on Friday
he was on the Maud, and shortly before saw a gentle-
man come and talk to defendant and go away. Wit-
ness drove away shortly afterward!, and did not MN
, anything else. Defendant was • well-conducted young
' man, and kept the rank rolea—The Mayor said the
defendant had explained the cam satiafactorily, and
the summons would be di-missed, and costa remitted.
TH, Swigs BAEL—Werlddlith is to be congratu-
lated on the fact that the Band Committee, of which
Mr. W. hfordmint Thiselton is the secretary, has
again secured the services of the Original Brunswick
Band, of which Herr Dnachere • is the conductor.
This excellent body of musicians gained the esteem and
respect of the inhabitants and visitors a. much for their
quiet and or lerly demeanour as by their very superior
talents as musiclaus. They c mainenced their perform.
mom on Monday morning, and the fact that the pro-
gramme comprised such pieces as • symphony of
"Beethoven" and • grand eel( otion from " lolanthe "
will be ample proof of the wide and varied abilitim of
the baud. There are several excellent soloists, and ,
altogether it is the general opinion that the band se a
whole is quite equal if not superior in point of musical
merit to what they were last year. The band numbers
ii performers. On Monday evening and three times
a-day since the band has delighted large audiences of
residents and visitors with some really delightful selec-
tions. The following was the programme for the first
day —Morning:: March," Parade;' overture," Crown
Diamonds;" raise, " Dream Fade. ;" Symphony from
" Beethoven " (Part L); "L'oi•ean du Idols" (piccolo
solo, Mr. Alexander) ; grand selection, " lolanthe r
raise, "Wiener Blot r " Über aisad und
Meer." Evening: March, "Nieblungen ;" overture,
"Bohemian Girl ;" rake, "Under the Stars;" selec-
tion, " Maritime ;" Lancers, "Forty Thieves r polka,
"Rattlesnake" (cornet solo, Mr. St. George); over-
ture, " Banditenstreiche ;" vales, "Loyaute r melee.
tion. "Don pearale ; galop, "Make Haste ;" "God
Save the Queen. '
Tax Rowiga Otuit.—The third of the fortnightly
competitions of the Weymouth Rowing Club came off
in the bay on Wednesday Iset,the races being enlivened
by • selection of MUM from the Holy Trinity Pile-
and-drum Band, who did credit to their persevering,
Bandmaster, Mr. Duke. There wee a large number of
spectators on the pier watching the racing. The mews
were as follow. :—White : °haddock (.troke), Den.
niog, Carter, Gibbe, and Roll. (cox). Sight Blue:
Brown (stroke), Talbot, Hall, Bailey, and Berridge
(cox). Red Perry (stroke), Rolls, Court, Carter, and
Rolls (cox). Dark Blue: Fligher (stroke), Hurdle,
Wallis, Rogers, and Sly (cox). At the firing of the
gun al four boats got away well together, white and
dark blue taking a slight lead as far as the turning
point, when rod took the place of dark blue, white
leading by about • length all the way down the course,
and winning by about that distance. In the second
race some little trouble was experienced in starting the
boats, and red did not get away at all. Alter turning
the point, dark blue led by about half-a-length, but
was soon overhauled and passed by white, which boat
won by about three imigths, lightblue beings bad third.
This makes the third consecutive time this season
that Chaddock's boat has won, and the contest on
Wednesday showed them superiority over the other
crew., for there could scarcely have been four stronger
and more evenly matched crews picked out of the
club. Light Blue were labouring under a die.
advantage , as through unforeseen circumstances their
captain, hfr. H. Austin Talbot, was unable, at the
last moment, le row, acids substitute had to be found.

wEntoure JO'S 11171RMARY.
The annual meeting of this inetitution took plane in
the Board-room on Monday, when Q. Itti•l.lt,
rrithere boing_also_ present Th.
egaip•ou, sad Kr. &Ward look.. esareian.

Dr. emus presented the followinn report
"181 an-patients hare been admitted. Owing to the
Mars and death of the late Dr. Rhodes it bre bean
impossible to estimate the number of oatepsoirnts. So
far as can be judged. the number of oatmetantso matinee
steadily to increase, whilst the demand for admission
Into the isfirnatry constantly exceeds the means of
see memodetion."
Dr. CHILD., baling read the report, said the work
of the institution went on in every way satisfactorily.
They had • large number of cases, both of in and out-
patients, who Consfitted not only by the treatment
they received there, but also by the advantages of the
Plea air and other surroundings. There were many,
child en especially, whom eyesight would be com-
pletely lost if it wore not for the advantages of the
institution, the sea air, regular treatment, and the
other means which tended to improve their oondition.
Hs was glad to have that opportanity of speaking of
the extremely pleasant co-operation of his colleague,
Mr. Simpson, and he sbonld also like to add his
testimony as to the very efficient way in which Miss
Fox, the matron, and her essiataota carried on their
work, and of the constant attention they invariably
gave to the patients. As remarked by the late Dr.
Rhodes, a large number of the 10-patierts did not
come from Weymooth and the county only, but they
bad many from neighbouring towns and counties. Me
should like to sav a few words with regard to the
accommodation. For in-patients they had two wards,
one containing 10 beds and the other five. The latter,
occupied by the male patients, was nearly always full,
so that male applicants frequently had to wait •
month or more before obtaining admission, than
loiing much valuable time. lie mentioned this in the
hope that at some future time this ward might
possibly be enlarged, anti thus meet the present
difficulty
