YEOVIL —Towz Couzcm.—A quarterly meet-
ing of the corporation was. held on Monday, Mr.
Alderman Mayo in the chair, in the absence of the
Mayor. About a dozen members were present.
The minutes of the last meeting were read and con-
firmed.

WHICH M THE BEST STONE ?-111P. COI observed,
as to the resolution at the last meeting as to the
supply of stone to the Council, that those gentlemen
who were so much in favtinr of flints were then
satisfied that they were inferior to other stone.
Flints had been placed on the Sherborne road, and
were then ground to dust. Further discussion was
checked by the Town Clerk, stating it could not
take place without previous notice.
ORDERS FOR PAYMENT. —A 811U1 Of .£25 due to
Mr. Custard for principal was ordered to be paid out
of the sinking fund before the next instalment was
invested.
A DISPUTED RIGHT.—Some discussion ensued
upon the right of Mr. Tabor to enclose a small
piece of ground at the end of his premises on the
Sherborne road.—Mr. Mayo said he had known the
piece of ground as public property for 60 years, and
remembered the time when there was a road close
to the wall of Mr. Tabor's premises. After some
discussion, it appeared to be thought that if Mr.
Tabor wanted the piece of ground he must pay fur
it.
FIRE BRlGADE..—Captain Bradley, of the Yeovil
Fire Brigade, accompanied by Mr. H. Wippell, one
of its members, presented an address to the Chair-
man, stating that in the opinion of the brigade the
present engine was not large enough for Yeovil. After
one or two remarks from several of the members,
Captain Bradley was requested to ascertain the cost
of a new engine of sufficient powe_,r, and the sum
fur which the old one would be purchased.

THE SURVEYOR'S ACCOUNTS.—Mr. Goode re-
marked that he thought the Council should be in
possession of a report showing the saving effected
by the surveyor last year. On the previous one
there was great anxiety to do it, and he thought the
rendering of such account should be continued, to
show whether the saving had or had not been main-
tained. He proposed a resolution to the effect that
the surveyor be requested to furnish such report.
Mr. Cox seconded the resolution, which was carried.
RATEII.—A borough rate of 6d. in the £, and a
highway one of 2d. was granted.
A NECESSARY STEP. —The pavement opposite
Commercial-buildings was ordered to be raised at an
expense not exceeding £lO.

handed over, provided it was found to be correct..

, .
A letter was read from Mr. Raymond, complaining
of having been put to the expense of patting
back his wall in Church-street, and which had been
done under orders from Mr. Vining, the surveyor.
The rnason who did it being sent for, this view was
proved to be incorrect. Other unimportant business
having been transacted, the Council separated.

fused. —Defendant now said he did not break any
windows; he merely threw stones, lie admitted
having been convicted, and also flogged, and that
he had no mother. —The Rev. J. 1L F. Thomas said
When the boy came out of gaol they took him into
the Sunday School, in the hope of reforming him ;
and the object in instituting the present proeeedings
was not as much to punish the boy as to prevent a
recurrence of the act. He thought a caution would
anffiee.—hir. Greenhorn believed such would be in-
effectual. Fined 55., and expenses ;in default of
' payment a week's imprisonment.

of a beershop in Wellington-street, was summoned

against.—Fined .£l, including coats.

that the accused was a industrious and bard-working
woman, and studied the welfare of BA r. lett and children,

respectable witnesses were in attendance to give the
prisoner an excelleneeliaracter, if required.—Walter
Wood ward was summoned at the instance of Col. Pinney,
M.P., for destroying a will bucket. It appeared that
elide the defendant WAS drawing water from a well in
Long Acre Lane, he Was observed by Mary Winslade
to let the windlass go on its arriving near the top.
' This was done three or four times, and the bucket was
thereby greatly damaged. The defendant, in reply,
stated he was corning along the road and only drew wise
water to refresh his thirst, and that the vame time the
windlass slipped out of his baud. The Superintendent
said he was one of the most mischievous lads in
Somerton, and the Bench ordered him to pay the cost
of the summons, and two witnesses Sc., and to repair
the datnage.—Willia in Brooks was charged by Charles
Waller, farmer, of West Camel, with etealing three
and a half pecks of wheat, of the value of 7a. Com-

Muchelney. Complainantdeposed that on Wednesday,
23rd of April, be saw the defendant come into the
village with a cart drawn by two horses, and observing
the hindmost horse had an old stocking tied
around the collar, he was led to suppose all was not
right. He examined the horse and found a large sore
on each shoulder; the sore on the off side was about
two inches long and two inches wide. He told defen-
dant that lie should report him. The horse was very
poor.—The defendant, who was dressed in • worn-out
garment, and who appeared very penitent, said he
lived at Weatpool. He gave 30s. for the horse six
weeks ago, and would promise the magistraes not to
work the animal any more. He admitted, on cross-
examination, that he was possessed of five acres of
land.—The Bench fined him 10e, and Bs. 6d. coat.

magistrates would deal leniently with him as lie had a
large family depending on him for support.—Fined

The iriquest on the body of John /Croton Icifled
by falling from a mare, took place on Thursday,
at the police-station, before Dr. Wybranta, coroner,
and a respectable jury, of which Mr. G. Bishop was
elected foreman. It appeared from the evidence
that the deceased, who was somewhat under ten
years of age, bad, on the day on which the accident
occurred, been enrged by Mr. Thomas Edwards, of
Somerton Door harm. Mr. Edwards entrusted to
him a mare, which he kept for breeding purposes,
to be taken to Somerton, and it was supposed that
he mistook the road, and went towards Langport,
and that the mare knowing she was out of her usual
track, turned suddenly round, and threw him. The
poor lad having incautiously tied the halter round
his hand, when thrown was dragged a considerable
distance along the road between the horse's legs,
and trampled on. Mr. Coombs and Mr. Snook,
being on their way to Langport in a trap, stopped
the mare, and released the lad, but by that time
life was evidently extinct. The jury returned a
verdict of "Accidental death." It transpired at the
inquest that on the 7th of April last, Dr.
Wybrante held an inquest on the lad's father, and
that on that day twelvemonths a brother was killed,
a sister having also been previously run over by a
cart laden with stones. The family altogether is,
evidently an unfortunate ono—not leas than thirteen,
of its members met with their end in an untimely'
manner. •

MONSTER ECG. —We have lately been favoured
with a sight of a monster egg, measuring 6 inches
and iths round, and 41 inches in length. The above
was in the possession of Mr. Joshua Chancellor,
Prince Albert inn, Somerton.

On Sunday next it is the intention of the Bonier-
ton Volunteer Rifle Corps to attend Divine service
at Ilehester parish church, and in consequence of
the high estimation in which Lieutenant Lunn is
held by the corps, we are given to understand that
a fall muster mill take place, this being their first
visit to the town of their worthy lieutenant.
Blt I DOW A TER Mr BIRTH. —On Sunday
the wife of Henry Ford, collector of tolls at the
Bridgwater Markethouee, was safely delivered of
three children—two girls and a boy.
T W ERTON.—FATAL COAL-PIT ACCIDENT. —On
Tuesday evening an accident, attended with fatal
consequences, happened at the coalpit, situated at
Penny-quick, Tvrerton, belonging to Messrs Carr,
but worked by the firm of Brown and Co. About
six o'clock, the time of leaving work, four men and
a lad got into the cage at the bottom of the shaft, for
the purpose of being brought to hank. As the cage
ascended one of the men, named Jacob James, in
some unaccountable manner got his head entangled
in the connection portion of the signal wire running
up the side of the shaft, and as the cage was drawn
up his chin was forced down on the edge of i, and
before the engineer mild be called on to stop the
ascent of the cage the unfortunate man's heed was
nearly severed from his body. Of course, when
brought to the surface, he was quite dead. He was
a married man, and has loft a wife and two children,
one of them born on Sunday. The body was removed
to the White Hart to await an inquest. It is a
singular circumstance in the occurrence that the
deceased took his wrong turn, as instead of coming
up when he did he should have waited till the last
batch of men descended. The precise cause of the
accident is at present wholly inexplicable, even the
men acquainted with the pit and its working never
having heard of en occurrence of this nature. It is
'armload that. the signal wire must by some means
have become displaced. Whether such was the ease
or hat will doubtless be fully inquired into by the
coroner, who has been communicated with.
WESTON-SUPER-MARE. -THR BISHOP or
BATH AND WILLS ON THE SALN Or Pima—The
attention of the Bishop of Bath and Wella having
been drawn to the fact that two pews in the pariah
church at Weston-super. Mare were advertised, the
one for sale and the other to be let, his lordship has
written to the churchwardens to " forbid both the
sale and letting of the pews." He adds, "All
persons, whilst parishioners, are at common law
entitled to accommodation in the parish church
without payment. No private person can sell or let
his pew, unless it is attached to his house either by
preecnption or faculty. The allotment of pews in
the parish church belongs to the office of the church-
wardens, subject to tbo control of the ordinary—i.e.,
the B•c'esiastical Court.—Guardian.

BRISTOL.—MURDICROUS ASSAULT ST A PATHS%
ON 111/3 CHILDkili.--013 Wednesday night & man,
named Roberts, a one-legged army pensioner, who
hawked coal*, with a horse and cart, living in Great
George-street, St. Phillip's, having been quarrelled
with by his wife for his drunken habits, seised the
poker and made a furious attack upon his two
children, one 5 years and the other 20 months old,
who were asleep, in bed, threatening that he would
" do for them,' after which be made his (*cape
from the house, but was apprehended after mid-
night by P.C. 168. The poor children were removed
to the Infirmary, and it was found that one of them
had been so seriously injured tbatlittle horse vete
entertained of her recovery. The youngetst
which was in • hopeless state when taken to the
Infirmary, expired shortly after eleven o'clock on Thurs-
day night. The other one is still alive, but is in a very
precarious state. Roberca, the ishitman father of the
children, was charged before the magistrates at the
Council House on Thursday, when it appeared that he
had been in the army, and whilst engager' with his regi-
ment in theCrianea had the misfortune to lose one of
his legs. He was thereupon discharged from the army
and allowed a pension. He came to Bristol, and up to
the time of the assault occupied himself in selling coal
in the various streets of the city. Lately, however, he
has contracted most dissolute habits, and by spending
his earnings in drink has deprived his wife and family
of that support to which they were entitled. We are
told tbat so insatiable s thirst had be for intoxicating
liquors that not only did be spend the greater portion
of his pension and his daily earnings in securing them,
but that he bad actually sold a quantity of his furniture
and his horse and cart for that purpose. At a late
hour on Wednesday night he had gone with his wife to
his sister-in-law's, only a few doors from hie own house
in Great George-street, and on Lis returning home their
door wag locked and preparation made for • scanty
supper. Up to that period his temper seemed unruffled
and had he been furnished with provisions which suited
his taste, but which his poor wife with her very
limited resources could not supply him with, the sad
occurrence which has crested so intense an excitement
in the city would not probably have occurred. lie
asked his wife what she had for his supper. She told
him dry bread and a bit of herring. We complained
at this fare,. upon which she told Lim that It WAS • poor
living lot his wife and children. Then, an if seised with
the spirit of a demon, lie rushed from his chair, and
snatching a poker from the fire-plane, declared that it
was time to finish that mode of living. His wife, at that
time, was at the cupboard, and on looking .towards him
she saw him go to the side of the bed in which lay
sleeping their two innocent childrea, and deliberately
smash their sku ILI with the deadly implement with which
he had armed himself, Blow after blow fell upon the
heads of the poor children, and whoa he had satisfied
himself that he bad accomplished their death he turned
towards his wife, and, ;eying that " he had done for
them end would do for her," aimed a blow at her. She
rushed upon him, and struggled vigorously; and in the
strugUle the poker fell upon the floor. She then
managed to get clear from him, and, taking the poor
Andrea from their bleed-stained bed, ran over the

DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. Walter Bailey, ei
Martoek, labourer, was charged with being drunk
and disorderly. Upon his name being called out,
woman bounded into the railed enclosure, and said
" I appear for be.'! She said she was his wife, and
that her budgind was ill, but she had his antbo its
te plead guilty to the charge. —Sergeant Clark proved
the case.—The infliction of a fine was not announced
or other punishment named.
EAST CIIISNOCK.—A MISIINDZRSTANDOG.—Wm,
Whehli, of Feat Chinnock, labourer, was charged
with leaving his employ withont notice. Walter
-Taylor said he let defendant five acres of wheat, at
4.. per acre, to hoc. On the day after defendant
commenced. he complained, when complainant pro-
mised to give threepence per acre more, and some
cider. Defendant only hoed three acres.—Detend-
ant said the agreement was only for three acrea—lt
was settled by. defendant consenting to go back and
assist in finishing the remaining two acres.
ODCOMBE. —Charles Kimber, of Odannbe, beer.
shop keeper, • was summoned by Supt. Smith, in-
spector of weights and measures, for having cups of
insufficient size in his possession. The Inspector
stated that on the 10th April he inspected the
measures, and found two pint cups deficient.—Fined
fie. and costa.

_
NORTON. Thomas Crabb, of Norton-under-
Herndon, shopkeeper, was summoned for having five
deficient weights in his poseession.—Defendant said
he had only kept them on his counter to balance
treacle jugs with.—The Bench said that it was one
of the moat flagrant cases ever brought before them.
It was hard for the poor to be cheated by unjust
weights, and he would be fined £'s, including costs.
A month allowed for payment. Defendant strenu-
ously applied for a redaction, but was peremptotily
rtfused. In default of payment two months' impri-
ointment.

MONTACUTIL - Charles fool, of Montaeute, stone.
mason, was summoned by Job Dunston for to..
wages. Complainant said he was employed for five
days, at 2s. per day.—Defendant said he was not
worth ls. 6d. a day, and he never agreed with him
for any amount per day.—Ordered to pay it by
Saturday week. _

TINTINHULL STABBING CASL --Gaon Brown,
a labourer of Tintinhull, was brought befors the
County Magistrates on Wednesday afternoon at the
Townhall, Yeovil, charged with stabbing William
Wills, a sawyer a Stoke, on Tuesday evening.
Prosecutor said that on the previous evening he was
in the bowling alley of the Lamb Inn. He went
there about 12 in the morning, and remaiud till
8 in the evening. It was Tintinbull fair.
Prisoner and he had words, lint no fighting took
place. Prisoner "shoved," kgainst him, and all
at once be felt a pain in his side. Upon unlnittoning
his waistcoat he saw the blood coming through,
They were both playing at skittles together. They
never lost much money or bad much beer or cider.
Prisoner wanted to cheat him out of a quart sad "1
argid and be argid" about it. Consplamant had won
a quart of eider of him and refused to pay. Prisoner
"offered to light!, and I offered to fight he." They
were both alike as regards that. He never thath
prisoner at all. After he had found be was stabbed
he went home alone. His home was about two
miles from TintinlinlL He got a lift in a donkey
cart to assist him home. He said "nothing to
nobody" about his being stabbed. The wound
remained as it was until the neat morning. He
bad had enough to drink, but knew what he was
about. There were a number of people in the
bowling alley when he left It. Went to the doctor
about half-put eight that morning. He did not
knew that the doctor was present, nor had b• yet a
certificate from him. He saw a knife is the
prisoner's hand. There wan not much blood escaped.
Cross-examined.— We fell out about the bowling.
(A voice in the audience: "Tell the truth, Wills, and
then the magistrates will believe you. Was it not
about your wanting to cheat Brown out of
(fippence" ?) He did not remain in the alley after
he felt the pain. He did not clasp prisoner nor
throw him down. He did take off his clothes to
fight, and so did prisoner. He did not recollect
offering to shake bands with prisoner, after he felt
the pain in his side. No man carried him at the
top of the alley to prevent him making further
disturbance. He saw no policeman come in the
alley.—P.C. Hamblin here was called to prove
that he was lent for to go to the alley to quell a
row. When he got there peace had been restored
and he left. It au about eight. Almost tit hour
and a half afterwards be saw prosecutor going in the
direction of home.—The Bench were of opinion
that it was highly important to have the evidence
of the surgeon. —A man named derard Sampson,
who was present, was called to give bia version of
the bowling alley transactions. He said he heard.
'prosecutor offer to fight prisoner and another man
at the same time. —Witness took prosecutor up to
the end 'if the bowling alley, and said if he wanted to
fight, he (witness) would fight with him. Witness
was in the skittle ground from about seven till it
was so dark that they could not see. The prosecu-
tor and prisoner shook hands after they had
quarrelled, and when he left prosecutor made no
complaint —The master of prisoner was sgsV
and gave him a good character. -Under
circumstances of the case, having in view that pries-
cuter was drank, and that he did not give, any infer-
motion to.the police the sausepeeniaa Achiefilk he
met three officers, the Bench dusinsd the OM&
Mr. Harbin strongly deprecating the use el the
knife all being so un-Baglish. It was perhaps
wrong to fight with fists, but still it was preferable
to using a deadly weapon. Further proceedings
will be taken, if additional evidence can be pro-
cured.

Rums eORPS.—A goodly muster of the members
took place on Sunday last, and accompanied by their
band, attended divine service in the morning at St.
John's Church. The Rev. R. F. Thome preseksit

6 cessocutive verses.

CRICKET CLuw—We are given to unda=,
that the Yeovil United Cricket Club ban
the challenge of the Salisbury Club. The contest
will come off at an early date on the Yeovil ground.
LEGERDEMAIN. —Professor Blitz used his beat exer-
tions on Monday and Tuesday evenings, in enter-
taining a goodly number of the reeidenta of Yeovil
and neighbourhood. He is very clevec in conjuring,
and is no mean rival to the real Prickell or Anderson.
As a ventriloquist, he succeeded to the satisfaction of
the company. But it was in the performance with&
number of canaries that his great powers of peree-
verance were most strongly marked. "What ffouri
must have been spent on their tuition," the specta-
tors mentally think. Mr. Morris, by his musical
exhibition, greatly enhanced the pleasures of the
evening. A distribution of a number of gold and
silver articles was made amongst the company on
both evenings.

in the hall of this building on Thursday evening, br

A LIVERPOOL RUNAWAT-WIFE CAPTURED AT
Buisrot..—Ahout • fortnight ago the whole establish-
ment of a wellski-do wine and spirit merchant at Liver-
pool was thrown into a state of consideiable consterne-
lion by the sudden disappeerance of the worthy pro-
prietor's better half, and the excitement WAR net at all
elleved when it wa% discovered that one of the
• in the employ of the husband was also
con us. The suelicious circumstances were yet made
more suspicious by the husband suddenly resnembering
having received some time previously an anonymous
communicaticn from "A Friend," which intimated
that more friendship existed between the "barman"
and the landlady than was expected to exist between an
assistant and his mistress. The distracted Benedict at
once came to the conclusion that his fsitillems assistant
and his yet more faithless wife were in lessens, together,
and that they were probhbly at that moment some
scot-es of toilers away. nom inquiries he nude and
front other circumstances the husband concluded that
the fogitives might have taken the nearest route to
Bristol, and, losing no time in his preparations, he
also started by the next train for the someplace. After
arriving in this city he fount refuge at the Terminus
Hotel. He then made every poesible inquiry respect.
log the fugitives, end, failing to find any traces of the
pair, he thought it probable that they had gone to
Southampton or London, to both of which places he
went, but meeting with no success lie made an inglo-
rions retreat to LiverpooL A few hours before the
mailed of the Liverpool wine and spirit merchant at
the Bristol Terminus a "good-looking young man,"
esoorting a lady, also arrived on the same platferin,
and shortly 'afterwards they were enjoying is comfort-
able cop of tea in a snug parlour in one of the houses
of St. Vincent's Place, New Cut. Having toll the
landlady of the house that they were man and wife,
and that they intended to stay there • short time, they
were accommodated with all the necessary requirements
for a married collide. On the following day the gay
Lithario made his appearance at the Daily Press office,
and arreeged end paid fel- six insertions of the follow-
ing advertisement :—" Wanted, by • young man and
his wife, from Liveries-o', the manegement of • spirit
vatile--Addrees, E. T., Daily Prot Office." In the
meantime the husband, who had returned to Liverpool,
was becoming gradually resigned to his fate, and *limed
giving up the hope of ever seeing his faithless wife
again, when lie was one day informed that • letter hail
been posted at the Liverpool Post Office addressed to
the fogitives at Bristol. Haying thus gathered fresh
hope he at once determined on snaking another and hut
weenie tto discover his sperm. He arrived here on
Thursday, and again fixing his head-quarters at
Hemming's Terminus Hotel, he commenced a plan of
opereim which was, and deserved to be, more elm-
oessful than the first. He first of all enlisted the ser-
vices of that cunning detective, Perrot, who, it will be
hereafter seen, was instrumental in bringing the adven-
tare to a successful and satisfactory Lamination. At
five o'eleck the next morning the husband was "or and
doing," and not much later Parrott was also sauntering
shoot the post-office with his hands in his pockets, on
the look-out for the letter which had been sent from
Liverpool. No traces of such letter were, however,
found, and the injareel swain, beginning to imagine that
he was hoaxed, was seriously thinking of giving up the
hunt as a bad job. Perrott, who never lacks a word of
encouragement to a poor fellow who is embarked in the
most desperate adventure, now came forward, and by
word and deed slowed what he meant to do. Perrott,
with that extraordinary instinct for "finding out"
which perhaps characterises him above all the other
members of oar local police force, found out that •
couple answering the description of the fugitive pair
were located at a house in St. Vincent's Place, facing
the river on the New Cut. The officer carried the
glorious news to poor Benedict, who received it with
great joy and thankfalnees, and both proceeded at once
to St. Vincent's Plane, and after tapping gently at the
door of No. —, it was imine-ilstely opened, but the
applicants were told that the gentleman and his lady
were out, and that they would be in in a short time.
Perron and his aompani n then went away, and sta-
tioned themselvas on the opposite bank of the river,
where they reconoitered the ground before them, and
kept a sharp look-out in tho neighbourhood of the
door of No. —. They bad not long to wait before the
identical couple were seen entering together, and
Perrott and the wine merchant made the best Use of
their legs round the bridge, and arrived in time at the
honse. The husband and the detective were instantly
admitted, and the next moment the four were face to
face. These was no outburst of grief or defiance on
the part of the wife, and the countenance of the
husband was • countenanee MOM of sorrow than of
anger. The sly Lothario was not so greatly discern-
poised as might have been expected, and Perrott
enjoyed the scene most thoroughly. It was bastily
arranged that tke "barman" should be "paid off,"
anil a sum of money was given hen, with strict injunc-
tions to go about his business and never revisit Liver-
pool. A gratifying and, it is to be hoped, a lasting re-
conciliation was soon effected between the erring wife
and the forgiving husband, and they remained together
on very affeetionate terms at No. —, St. Vincent
Place, until Menday morning, when they departed for
Liverpool by the 6.20 train, to all appearance a very
affectionate and happy couple.
