Dorchester. 7tle Oetcber, 1870

Mr. ILsroa, understar7l that the Vied of the various
resolutions paned at the recent meetings of the Town Council,
is to deprive, the innabitante of the several houses on the
Wollaston estate, of any carriage approach whatever from
the Western and Southern side.. That this will he • great 10-
convenience to many of than it cannot be denied, and fur
myelin I would Mite, that, had I been aware that no approach
was intended front these Aim, I should not have commenced
building. At the time I became the lame of the lend at the
corner, there weathen an open carriage drive from the Wen,
on the North side of the South Walk, and it was then gmmally
undenamsl that this road would remain; In fact, when I aa al&
owl by Invitation, In Wollaston Yield, yourself and
other member, of the Council, on your viewing the Wentern
boundary, with reference to an application from Mears.
Lawman to open • gateway there, it was positively data' by
several members of the Council, that there would be an
approach from the Wed, the only question then being whether
Men mould be • road across the Walks or down by the side,
On the kWh of this undendanding I had my plans prepared,
with • carriage drive from the West shown thereon, which
paw ware duly laid before the Council and approved, and the
buildings have been ea for promoded with, that it would now
entail considerable expense In altering mach carriage drive to
the North, or the North Wed corner, where It should be if the
only approach is to be front the North or East; such expense I
think I may in fairness ask the Council to bear, If they sLW
adhere to their resolution to deprive um of all boom on the
South and Wed The argument that no road Is Mown on the
plan, at the Town-hall, cannot'avall, as in no instance hae that
plan boon followed with respect to the two Southern rows of
hound. I am at, a ese that • carriage drive on the North
side of the South Walk would he more objectionable then that
now misting on to. Mad side of the Wed Walk, of which we
have no ampulla. I shade! be , glad if you could Ming my moo
before the Council at their next meeting, and I have the
, honour to remain Sir, your obedient arrant, .

Godfrey Thomas Shepherd, • little boy, said that on
Satunisy morning, he was in bed, in the room next

"Call them, it you like."
Henry Emon, of Sonimbridge Hill, • sailor, had no-
ticed the defendants singing and selling songs. He
notiood them oommunitiating privately with sack other,
and was rather suspicious of them, remarking to his
friend that he thought they had some othyr trade
beside milling songs, and bin friend said "Yes, they
have some easier liminess than that." Mr. Eason kept
them in sight, and afterwards heard Mary Drew say
she had lost her puree. Oa this be seat her to the

lir. Gialpin said if the signalise had been duly =treed.
It would be found there waa to be • road, and • bar
&arose to show it was not public ; but for the use of the
inhabitants of the Wollaston Field. He repudiated
the insinuation that "certain members" had led the
Council into this difficulty ; if members did not attend
the meetings to see what business was done, they had
no right to insinuate.
Mr. Andrews said there was no insinuation— he
would be the last man in the world to insinuate ; any.
thing to say about • man be could say it to his head.
He only said that if this Conned had altered the plan,
there oughtto be minutes about it, if it were not altered
than they were in the position they °night to be. Re
said again, without referring to any individual, that if
certain members of the Council surnamed this or that to

way.
Mr. °alpha : Who were the certain members?
Mr. Andrew,: I don't know; I merely say if there
be toy, pet tts have the minutes. . .

Mr. Gelid& had no dosibt there were plenty of minutes
on the subjest.
The Mayor was under the impression that it hod been
decided to make • road; but be thought it & pity, and
that it would be daagerona.
Mr. Deveniah said it was evident there bad bees..
decision to mak* de road, and at the last meting
they were undimou mit to make one.
Mr. Coombs observed that when he moved theta
road should he made woes the walk it was with the
complete understanding that • road most be made from
Charleestreet to tho donne of the Wollaston Field—
(heir, hear)—and feeling sure a road direct across the
walk would be the better plan. But at the subsequent
meeting he wee told that there was no resolution oo
the book to have • side ;owl, and on the strength of
that statement, he consented to the rescinding of his
resolution. If • propositiqo to make a rod by the
side was to be brought forward, he should have •
right to re-pen the question of Grossing the walk—
(bear, hear.)
Mr. Damon thought it wee not right for • public
body, knowing a side road was talked of, to allow a
lessee to nearly finish his house, according to • plan
for such rod, without saying • word to the contrary.
Mr. Galpin said that was his view of the raw
Mr. Bishop said the lessees had no legal claim to
rod, and be hod no hesitation in saying that they had
not the shadow of a moral claim either.

Prisoner : What's that!
The Superintendent: I am informed he is a returned
convict, and his dame is Mole.
Prisoner. What Ain I mole ?
It warn explained to him, when he asked, impudently :

Mr. Vernon elicited that Ur. Hall's original plots

Mr. Combs proposed that the answer to the letters
should be that the Council had resolved no road should

remarkable part is her machinery. She carrie engines
ciairt ly made and fitted up by Mr. Smith. 'Fhe boiler
is heated by a fire of cluirooal, and although in models
there is generally a difficulty in raising and keeping up
51d m, in this model there is none. The engines are
driven for three hours without refilling the boiler, and
three quarters of an boor without touching the tire.
The steam, die., is carried off by two funnels, and the
engines drive a pair of very nicely made paddle wheels.
She has been tried a few times in the harbour, and,
until bee attendants bent to their oars, she rapidly
paddled away from the boat in which they accompanied
her. In fact they had to pull strongly to overtake her.
Her speed was found to averages little over three miles
an hour—• very rospeetahle rate for on small a craft.
Her machinery is beautifully constructed, and reflects
very great credit upon Mr. Smith.

WI NT ER EVENING AMUSEMENT SOCIETY.
In the dull sermon of winter, when our birds of
Pagano are ii ,ere. Waymouthians must be grateful to
any association who will take the trouble to provide
the means of an evening's amusement. It is Plentalli
therefore to bare the welcoming of old friends on over
sions similar to last year's readinp, and although we
understand that the present " Atuasement Society' la
unconnected with the Athletic Association, yet the
names on the programme.) show that the renewed and
very successful attempt by amateurs to entertain an
audience has roam from the same friends who worker
so hard and were so deservedly well received last year.
The twits was at the theatre, which eertainly gives
more amminmodation, but is warmly so homely i.the
New Assembly Rooms. The programme commeneed
on Tuesday with the overture to L'ltalisma is Algeria,
ably rendered by Mr. Jones's little band, and applauded,
A sailor-like voice wee then heard shouting :
" hold! asset boatswain, ere aischor we weir,
Allow a trao WAIWI a few words to say."
And the stage was boarded by Mr. F. 0. Style attired
in nautical oostume : who spoke the following
prologue:
"What cheer ! I hope, bearty, it makes the heart glow
To bid welcome to friends, both slat and below.
Well ! our tackle's all ready, our lands are all menteth,
So with rapture we hail you to witness the launch.
Were refitted, you use • snug neat pleasure beat,
And we hope by your favour to keep her anal,:
Our timberu are taut, my memmatae, some men
Join with old ones in gaining premoUon from you,
Each band on this ship coma with full inclination
To rise in ths service by your approbation.
We've artillery too, to disposes enelimelioly,
And Jones and his band will area Food trolley:
We've great guns of tragedy, bandied so well
The wisou they go 011, they most, certainly tell;
While with small suit from Wes sod low comedy winds,
st u•so 'morn to burn, ,ink, and destroy the blue devlbi,
But Mos where we will, we emit always require
Prom your bands • good broadside to second our Sr..
Do you ask with what freightage our vowel is stored 1
What cargo, what riches, we carry on board?

To know under what eclairs we JI. trade, and light.

May you nobly forgive us—and so "Au ',groin"
Mr. Smyth then bang an Irish boiled, in amoudeg style.
which much pleased; Mr. R. L. Legg read "The Bettis
of Cressy," bat some of the folks in the back seats,
evidently wished for something more highly flavoured ;
Messrs. Rossiter and Greenwood gave "The Minute
Gan at Sea," with considerable spirit, and were duly
applauded; Mr. F. Style recited " lieseklah and
Ruth." with a good voice and very distinctly, and doing
jnatioe to the quiet humour of the phew. Mr. B. C.
Bland then appeared,and was applauded, his get-up as one
of the old school was good, and he sang, "Seventy-two,
and as hard as steel," meeting such applause as showed
that he bad lost none of his popularity ; he was of
course encored. Mr. L.:Re then gave the amusing story
of how Tittlebat Tittnnuae dyed his Lair, which he
shottened. very judieionaly considering the demands of
the "gods." Mr. J. S. Cruvrys then came on in the
character of a jockey, and when he threw off his over-
coat. his crimson siik and racing nethers were effective ;
be sang "I ride to win," and was warmly applauded
and encored. The band concluded this part of the
entertainment with "In Perichole" waltz. The second
part consisted of the drain., "The Charcoal Berner,"
capitally rendered. The following was the east :
Godf..s. lisrringt.m - (a Magistrate) - Mr. F. Greenwood.
Mauler.- Ewlale - (a Miser) - Mt. Roditer.

il:i It rbigion Bo lose with Edmund Kedah') Muter Coo.
The ant tteurs perfumed remarkably well; but special
mmi lion must be made of Mr. 0. Jeffery, whose acting
and declamation as the Charcoal Burner were very
striking. Mr. Style made a brilliant captain of dragoons,
and Mr. Johnson imitated the drunken haberdasher,
with a meditative deliberation, that was very amusing;
Mr. W. H. P. Jeffery, the acting and stage manager,
was eacellent as the would-be grand juryman, well up
in the law of the hind, and the statutes of William
and Mary; as usual be added new spirit to the piece.
Master Cot was mach to be commended for his ico-
pen...nation of • young lady; Mr. Bench imitated •
bail riu4ll soldier to the lit., Mr. Greenwood did well
as a insgisttate, and Mr. Eossiter will be effective when
he ;iv," himself MOM time. The whole of the enter-
tainmen was marked by good promiao of continuanee
of aninaement on these evenings, and we must again
r" turn our thanks to thew gentlemen who have under.
taken the nottax, and congratulate them on the BUO-
c-rdul opening on Tuesday night.
