Walter f10e...11, • boy of 13, was brought up in

charded with stealing one blanket, the property of
Henry Curtis, the lan ilord of the Baltic Inn, on the
16th of May, valued at 85.
Supt. Vickery esid that alter tendering evidence
sufficient to grant a remend, he should ask for an
adjournment of the case until Monday, as another lad
neat-d Cox wee implicated in the robbery.
Jane Keats eta ed that she was a widow residing at
%tele fmbe-plece, in the Park. On the previous day
she washed a blanket, the pr fperty of Mrs. Curtis,
her daughter, and, between three an four p.m., hung
it out t dry. Going to take it in about six she
found it gone. The blanket produced was similar to
the one she hung upon the line to dry.
Mary Curtis it tted that elle was the wife of Henry
Curti., who kept the Baltic Init. The last witness
was her mother. Sometime during the previous seen.
Inc the defendant came to her house and asked for •
bottle of ginderbeer. She saw that i.e bad a blanket
under his arm, and, having been informed of the loss
of her blanket, she asked limo to whom the blanket
belonged, and he replied that it belonged to his
mother. Witness, however, recognised the blank.t as
her property, and, on questioning him, he admitted
that • boy named COI had taken it from off the line
and hid it under a hurt)l until it was dark, when he
took it out and gave it to him.
Superintendent Vickery s .i I that the boy Cox was
a trouble to his parents and all around him. The
police had been obliged to fetch him home from
Wiruborne and other places. The led Houneell, when
apprehended, warn found to have a pipe and tobwatio in
hi. pue.espion.
The Bench remanded the boy until Monday, and
ref used bail.
On Monday, before Dr. Drew, J. E. Ruben., Req.,
B. Hopkins, Esq., and J. Istindie, Req., Walter
Hommel', aged 13. and Frederick Cox, aged 11, were
charged with stealing a blanket, the property of Henry
Curtis. landlord of the Baltic Inn. C,x was also

vain,, of 6s , from • clo'hes-litte in the Park on the 28th

afterearda gave it to him.
P.C. Apeey 'fatted that the boy Cox was that morn-
ing cha.gsd with stealing the knick.rhockere and the

and he coon! do nothing with loin.
Supt. Vickery sail that he had seen the school-
master fd St. Mary's Sob ,olg, where the by Cox
atten le I, and he said the boy MIA incorrigible. The
previous vrePlau lisfi had to tie a log of wood on to
his legs to keeu him there. About six months ago
they had to bring him back from ‘Varehani. A.
regarded the boy Walter ifounsell, his parents had
been summoned four ti 'es since 1881 for not
sending him to sch, 01, and had been fined £l. They
did not seem to have any c fntrol over the boy.
They had a prostitute living in the how*.
Both boys pleaded guilty,and they were sentenced to
one month's imprisonment, to be followed with five
years ins reformatory school.

The Dreormuon (the Rev. (I. Marmon) said there
was one tieing in tee present day in connection with
Islam work which ought to fill them with comfort,
and that wee their work was one which God was
=2;. Wherever Christianity appeared there it
such a power as no other form of religion
powered. They heard • greet deal about Mahomed-
rem and Buddhism lately, but could any one suppose
If missionaries of these systems had laboured earnest
them for 78 yeses they would have gained the same
victory over blinded England as by God's grace
the Church Missionary and other societies had
to record against Buddhism and other false doctrines?
Alluding to the work in China, be said it was only
now they began tone. it take root; the prover
it wee making was really marvellous, and the Chinese
were now beginning to awake to the idea that
Christianity moot be pat • stop to by force. How
many clergymen's wives would corset to have their
faces battered, their houses rifled, garments spoilt. and
be reduced to the most miserable condition, and yet
beanoalmanderlt,ea was the ore with one of the
wires of the native clergy rescued by Mr. Wolff?
When they come to think of what Christianity cost
those people, bow different it moat be to abandon .11
ideas of their religion, and to be looked upon with con-
tempt and worn by every one, bethought if such tests
were applied to them they would not furnish such
examples of martyrdom. The work of Christians was
always effective in proportion to the strength of the
agency employed and ths purity of its doctrine. What
could they expect from the very little feeble army
which they launched forth from England to overcome
the lasethesism and Mahomedankth of the world.
The more they Increased the strength of their army,
the more reason had they to expect success, and the
more true the soldiers were in the doctrines of the
Scripture. in all its droplicity, the more encase they
might hope for. After adverting to the great spread
of Christianity in India shoos 1851, the deputation
said they could ooly go on in confidence with this
work, s• it was God's, doing the beet they could
not only to carry it on, hot also to enlarge it. Was it
not a great thing for this society to have £34.000 from
sermon.. £lB,OOO from missionary boxes, 233,000 from
collectio..s, and 1'6,000 from the juvenile associations?
It was, indeed, a great thing for ell this to he dons ,•
but how much erreatar might yet be don'? He trusted
Dorchester would not be c 'Mont to .top within the
range of £3OO. but would try to emulate those two
most fortunate year. when they raised £3lB
upon one occasion and £333 upon another. (Applause.)
That was the Inset be could wish for their
excellent and beautiful old town, and that their ann.
mittee would not only do their beat but, going
beyond their hest, some such result wonld be attained.
The Clialltelee considered what had been done was
very well for one year, and, though it was quite
Impossible to expect it every year, still he did think
they should aim at constant increase ; and it would be
a very valuable thing indeed if every member of the
society was to make this • personal matter, so as to
see their subscriptions did increase. As the society's
work increased so it was necessary Its funds also should
Increase. He hoped the Church Missionary Unions,
which were being formed all over the country, and
espedally every one in the county of Dorset, would
take care to re the funds did not decrease but increase,
and then there would be a wonderful addition to the
funds of the society. They should try to increase the
interest they themselves felt, try to gain others to
take an interest in the work, ache +assure the motives
for it could not be lacking when they considered the
evils which were desolating each a large portion of
the human race. Was it not • saddening thought
when they reflected millions of their fellow.creaturee
—men, women, and children—just as capable el
bolding communion with God as they were, were
ignorant of that God and Saviour, and were unable
to bend their knees in prayer and to lay all their
wants before Hiss? He urged them to try and keep
that thought in mind. It was that thought which
animated the C.M.S., and it was for the purpose of
extending the knowledge of the Saviour their rests
were sent into every port of the world. lie alluded
to the evils of slavery caste, opium, and human
perigees, saying what • tremendous amount of evil
there was to be overcome; and there was only one
way in which this could be done, and that was by
seeding the Gospel of Christ. He thanked the
gentlemen who had so kindly addressed them, and
hoped the meeting had not only been interesting and
profitable to them, hut would tend to their taking •
greater interest in the society for the future.
The Rev. B. LtmtoW expressed the thanks of the
meeting to Mr. Williams for coming amongst them and
presiding, as he had done on this occasion. This was
not the first time he bad ventured to say as he now
did, and they most cordially thanked him for his
presence • and be thanked God for having raised up
among them such • decided upholder of the cause—one
who had led them to do more and more in the cause
which the meeting had met to promote. He felt thus
wee indeed ruse for thaakfolness te God. It was
some years since be had sees each • large assembly at
an afternoon meeting of this society in the town, and
therefore they ought to be thankful for that. For the
first time in his life be had the privilege of sending as
an executor MOO to the C.M.S., his dear sister-in-law
having lilt £4OO to be divided between this and three
other societies.
The Rev. R. Mummer seconded the privation.
The meeting was brought to • clam by the Benedic-
tion. The collection amounted to £l7 17s. 51.
At the evening meeting_ there was not nearly so
good an attendance. The Rey. T. W. Knipe presided,
supported on the platform by the Deputation, Rev. R.
W. Caisson, Rey. R. Meadows, and the Rey. C. F.

A hymn baying been sung, and prayer offered by
the Rev. E. W. 00ttura08, the CRAILMLN calied on
the hon. see. for his report (given shove).
The Ceemages, addressing his friends of St. Peter's
pariah, said it was • matter for congratulation that
they had not goes back in their pule)). They had
three collections on Sunday, in the m nosing it exceeded
last year's by about CI ; there was a slight exeess at
the children's meeting, and • slight exert adar in the
evening ; the total amount being 13 guinea,. Allud-
ing to the children's service, he war pleased to say it
was in every way, by God's blessing, a success. He
was glad that the other parishes toot only Lent them so
many children, but such good children. He did not
see • single child behave otherwise than
wish to see them behave in the House f God.
( A misuse )
The Rev. R. tig•Dows then addressed the meeting,
confining Ids remarks to the subject of the mission
work carried on in India. He founded his ad Ire% on
the words—" Freely he have received. freely kive."
Freely they bad reosived from India, and freely they
ought to give haelt to her. Look, for instance, at the
produce of India, neouvaries of life; in some i vance..
spices, perfume., materiel. for making carrels and
ropes, rice, and even wheat. This had been so for, good
many years. The richer' of India had alwayn been
objects of interest to nations even so far back nc the
time of Alexander the Great, and it led indirectly to
the foundation of Alexandria. In whatever way they
looked at it, India had been a source of immense
wealth and power to every nation that had had any-
thing to do with her. Thank God nearly the whole
of the immense country was under the power ,4 Eng.
land. The day had gone by when it MN thought to
he only necessary for mercantile purposes, and now
our connection with India was all on the right side.
England got the salaries of hundreds of civil servant!,
her famous generals, immense wealth, and many other
thine, she had freely received, and now she wa try ng
to give back to her freely in return. ',Wend of
