Mr. George ihjected to the lorrn of the eummons, because it
did notcontain the days on which the offence took place, which
era mower!, otherwise hie client would be liable to Se sum-
moned again
Mr. Staged! believed that the date was eseential ; but the
Bench could amend the summons. Perham Mr. George would
be esti:fled with the proper date being inserted.
Mr. Venue was appealed to to AM, the date, and the cue
afterward, proceeded, the .130113/OMIB being amended by the
Insertion of the various dates:
Mr. George said it would simplify the cam if his Mend, Mr.
Sterol!, would el re the definition of the harbour of Weymouth.
kfr • ineagsll said that. so far am the limits of the Harbour,
they were not chfinel, except by the Act of Parliament' with
retard to the Harbour that which was commonly underetood
by every individual resident in this town to be the Harbour
was within the limits embraced by the outer pier and the new
pile pier. If he proved that the boat went outside the limits,
that is going out of the harbour, and they, therefore, were
liable to harbour dues
Ur. George But here.: no definition In the Act of (Mame
IV., and therefore, they must take the definition of the" port"
of Weymouth, which the Act stated extended from St. Al 'o
Head to Burton Bradd.ock. If Mr. Station would admit that,
he would not call any evidence on the point, but if he would
not admit that, be must ask for an adloumment to obtain
evidence.
Mr. Steggall mid It had been decided fifty limes already. It
it.. aa Mr. George had stated for Cuetom house purpose., but
so far so the local limits of the harbour were concerned, the
matter had been decided. This w•IS a matter affecting the
the Corporation t the extent of hundreds of pounds in the
year, and had been thoroughly gone Into and It war found that
the Corporation could not maintain anything more than a
Meisdiction over the limits he had mentioned.
Mr. Georg* wild that the dlcUonary defined the word
" harbour" to mean "pot " or "haven." There was no
other definition of harbour" in the Act, and they must there-
fore take the definition of the port of Weymouth, ae that of
the harbour.
Mr. Stennell said the limits of the harbour Ir•r• never clearly
laid down by Act of Parliament. But it having been felt that
the Corporation had only a right to that part within the outer
pier, he (Mr. titeggall) had got that to be defined as the Corp.,
Won Smite There woo an attempt many year. ago, before he
came into office to extend the harbour to the Custom house
Malta ; but It was proved on Investigation that there was no
shadow of a pretence for it.
Mr. George contended that they must Lake the definition In
the dictionary, for the port, as theta was nu definitioo in the
Act- (0 onre IV, 6, c Kit see. I.)
Mr. Stegy referred to this sec,ion, which stated that duce
should be dernandad and taken from every ship, tnov or other
vessel These words, he omtenskd, were eu full as to Include
every description of vowel One word was omitted in age
subsequent part of the eehtdule, but he contended that this
1114 the enacting part, which gave the power to levy dues;
and therefore thi• part gouerned the other One of the
strongest pn,ols Is that the Corporation for the last 25 yearn
had so read it, and acted upon it, and acted upon it. One of
the .onditions of the pontract for letting thatons expreelvely
exempted other vessels a Inch went in and out of the harbour
without loading or unloading. There was nothing in the Act
.f Peek ment mithorleing the Corporation to take dues at
Lulworth. Portland, or elsewhere.
The Mayor add Mr. George. In default of a definition by the
Act, bad referred to the dictionary, which defined 'harbour"
as • port or haven. Then It would be for Mr. Steggall to
show that the harbour is confined within the limits he had
mentioned. •
Mr. Steggall put it as a matter of common manse and reason
whether the harbour of Weymouth was not defined as bot•
the outer pier and the lily pier. One of the mariatratee on
the Bench must remember Mien the quedion was raised many
years ago by Mr. Stone. The old C.irporation had claimed the
dues on gaols at Portland, but the moment the Wax Depart-
ment took poseession of Portland, they disputed it, and took
counsel's opinion, and it was praised that really •nd truly the
Corporation had no jurisdiction beyond *the limits of the
harbour.

regretting their inability te be prevent at the dinner, and

dinner the statement of the actoonota bac.ng been
road. Dr. Rhodes wu re-sleeted meileal Atom, Mr
Reeks and J. Kingman stewards, and Mr. R. Gale, hon.
ese. The following nes hon. members were added to

10.. &I. The prtaident gave "The Mayor and Corpora-
tion," and said he felt flattered at the visit of the
Mayor, ati it war the first time the chief magistrate bad
honoured them with his pretence at the dinner, sines
he (Mr. Reynolds) had been president. The Mayor
responded, and sail he considered the satiety iv.,
founded en good principles, .1 it had 'anted so many
years—Mr. R. Thomas considered the society in a der
perste onndition, as they were growing older and there
wee little chance of their numb. rs being increased, st
that th-y mast rely very much on their hon, member..
and gave their health' However, he hots d they would
get masa yam( ambers, and that Oddfellows and
Foresters would see Om error of their ways, in quint
money for pomp sod show, and some bask to a society
like thie.—Mr. Aylesbury responded, and said the most
suceeesful tradesmen in London had proapered by
advertising, and the members of the society must make
It widely known.—Mr. Norman arced the society not to
depend so much on the hon. members, but to exert
themselves individually and render it self-supporting.—
Mr. Kellawav, Mr. J. J. Longman, Mr. F. Moore, Mr.
Senior, Mr. Breve. and Mr. R. Gale, also responded.—
The Mayor gave "The Chairman,' which Meet was
received with musical hooottra—The president in re-
sponding, said be thought young men were laid away to
join other societies by great show and useless diepley.—
Mr. Aylesbury 'meowed "The health of the vice-
powident," (h. S. Moore), and alto took oocasion to
rem•rk upon the per saner of the Mayor. He had
Iseerd that Mr. Howard was to be ifinyor for four yaw.,
sad whether that was true or not, he hoped they would
have the chief magistrate at their dinners in future.
Be also suggested that the dinner hour should be
altered from three to Mt or seven, when others could
attend.—Mr. Moore responded. A good deal of "chaff"
wav impended on the feet that the hour for dinner was
not named in the circular ; but the Mayor oonsidered it
a wise stroke of policy, sinoe three who took interest
in the society would euquire, and those who did not
take that interert would be of no use if they attended.
The health of the stewards was received with mintiest
honours, and that of the hon. secretary, was also duly
honoured. Other taints were given, songs were nog,
and the meeting lasted about four hours.
