Board-rouin of the Town Hall on Metulay afternoon, for
the purpose of approving of the prospectus prepared by
the Secretary, and the site selected by the Committee.
owing to the cry unpropitious state of the weather, there
was not such a large attendance !PI might olherwise have
'wen expected. On the motion of Mr. Hoare, seconded by
Sir. Webb, Mr. A. Arthur was voted to the chair. The
secretary (Mr. Farquharson) then read the prospectus from

this meeting approves of the prospectas prepared by the
. 'manatee, anal of the site therein re.-onimended," which
is being put WAN carried unanimouxli. The next resole-
' lion was—" That this committee, with power to add to
their number, continue their services until the first meet-
ing of shareholders after the incorporation of the Com-
oany." This was proisismi by Mr. J. E. Kemp-Welch, and
.secontled by Mr. W. Blackford, and corned 1161/6. con. The
formal business being thus dispused of, some discussion
for the general scheme followed. and it was resolved to
hold a public meeting of the working men on an early
day, with the view of enlisting their sympathies in the
matter. The meeting shortly afterwards broke up with •
vote of thanks to Mr. Arthur for presiding.

PROIVSED INVIRIII.IItY.-I.ln Monday evening • public
meeting was held in the Skating Rink at Boccombe, to
',insider the formation of an institution whereby the
:trtisatt and lalwuring classes resident in the district,' of
Springhourne. Boscotube, and Pokesdown may, for •
small weekly payment, derive the benefit of medical and
surgical aid without having recourse to the charitable
institutions at Bournemouth or Christchurch. The Rev.
I. D. Qinling occupied the chair, and &Limiest those pre-
sent were—The Revs. IL G. Scurfield and H. I Leonard,
Dra. Nun and Turner, Mears. W. B. Thomas, W. Hoare,
W. Stevens, he_ The Chairman, in the course of his
.ntroductory remarks, said the scheme was intended to
benefit the poor of Boacombe. Spnngbourne, and Pokes-
•lown, and to encourage habits of independence amongst
those whose total earnings did not exceed 30a. per week,
and who, for the small weekly payments of for a husband
Id., wife 24., boys over 11 and girh over 16 years of age
under these ages Id., might secure the benefits of
medical and surgical aid when required.—The Ile,. H. C.
Leonard supported the movement, as did also Drs. Nun
:fild Turner. —Mr. Leonard then proposed, and Dr. Nun
seconded, "That Una meeting believes that an institution
of the kind now proposed would be • great advantage to
this growing neighbourhood."—A working man from the
centre of the hall contrasted the proposed payments with
those of certain benefit societies, inasmuch as thaw to the
benefit societies is only Is. per quarter, whereas it was
proposed by the promoters of this scheme to mulct them
In 3d. per week, or three times as much. He also thought
that by excluding those earning more than 304. per week
they were excluding the very men they ought to embrace.
-Dr. Nun explained that whatever was over after settling
all demands would go to funning a building fund.— A good
deal of discussion then ensued, in which Messrs. Brown,
Cunnington, Hoare, and others took part, and it was
!iltimstelV agreed, on the motion of Dr. Nun, &monde'
by Mr. Brown, to appoint a committee„ consisting of the
Revs. G. D. Qualing, It. G. Scurtield, H. C. Leonard, Mr.
Anderson, M.A., with 14 of the representative working
men, viz., six resident in Boscombe, five in Pokeedown,
4od four in Springtiourne, to test the feelings of the cow
inunity on the subject and report—Votes of thanks to
the medical °dicers for their kind attendance was moved
by Mr. W. Hoare, and to the Rev. Chairman by Dr.
Turner, were then paseed. For the nee of the Rink Mr.
lhare moved • hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Cunuirigton,
which was carried unanimously, and the meeting after.

in their office between Mr. Jenkins, jun., awl-Mr. Meech,
•,n toe 21st of October, and that the latter then agreed to
pay the sum of £2 Ids 21, in the settlement. It seeius
that Meech, formerly worked for plaintiff. but now work*

wch • strong expression from his lionour.—The Judge
having again mentioned the fact of the bill having teen
tampered with, Mr. Druitt submitted that his llonour
had no right to say the account had been improperly
tampered with unless there wail some evidence as to what

In enswering the important and natural question sot.
whether the disease was to be clausal among the iinportM
diseases of an infectious character, or whether it was
indigenous to this country, Mr. Bat-ford said be felt
bound to say, although the evidence was conflicting al
the point, it greatly preponderated in favour of its
• infectious character. When the disease first appeared
!in this country, flow nearly 49 years ago, it was eensidered
to be clearly traced to animals brought from the Cueti-
nent to London anil from thence spread to different parts
of the country. From that period to the present Moo
there had bees seven distinct outbreaks of the di-ease, all
more or less causing serious loss to this country, but none
so bad as the last matins-Mt which took place hot year and
the year before. They would glean from what be had
Raid that lie rensiderod the main or predispoeing came of
the disease to be infection or contagion, and the next CAl-

thereby cheek the spread I f the diwaee. As the dims*
was believed to be of foreign origin some w odd say, stop
importation but Mr. Berl ord reminded then, that wipe.
ration of cattle was one of the letaciee -if free trade, and
he thought no one in that room would rare to go hack to
a protective policy. The increased demand and very high
prices also made the importation of meat a necessity,
which was only another exempliarstion of the law of
supply and demand. Assuming importation to he a
necessity, others would say have the 11111Mais seat deed,
or to be killed at the ports of debarkation. Mr. Itarford
hail no objection to that if an uniform law could be laid
down for all the ports, but
.from what he knew of the
foreign cattle trade, he del not thiok that would
. become general, as he believed it would materially check
! supplies. He gave an instance in connection with Freest
proving that independently of this, he believed thedinew
had now become acclimatised here and should import.
Mons he stopped to-morrow he was firmly of opinion that
periodical outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease would
occur in ronempience of the very numerous cestrei of

country. Should such be the rage they must look for the
chief centres of infection in this country, and see if they
could lemma them. It was his firm convintton that Viet

cordon that was thrown round London preventing any-
thing coining out alive had been in force up to the pretest

that during the time the restriction on the ruareineat of
