ANNUAL PRIZE RIFLE SHOOTING.

On Wednesday and Thursday, the third annual
prize shooting amongst the el the Wey-
mouth rillo corps took piano at their rifle range, on
the Chisel Beach. The weather, as might be
expected was not very favourable for the proceed•
Mg. ; the IMMO of the year being too far advanced
for such out-of-door amueements, and we would
venture to suggest that the shooting would cause
much more interest if it were to take place a month
earlier. On the present occasion the proceedings
did not excite any interest amongst the townspeople,
a very few of whom were present. The wind blew
very strong at intervals, across the line of fire,
accompanied by storms of rain. The shooting, how-
ever, on the whole was pretty good. The following
is the return of the first day's competition :

The -abooting for this prise was very indiffer-

weather, as during the whole of the time the contest
was going on the rain desoended in torrents, which
caused the targets to be almost invisible. The prise
was won by Private Rowe, who scored IS points.

The Captain's medal, for the greatest number of
bite on shooting for the officers' prizes, the silver
medal, and the Members' prizes, was won by Private
Parsons, after • tie with the Captain. This is the
second time that Parsons has won the same medal,
the first being in 1861. Sergeant Charles, who held
it last year, was third on the register for it this year.
The condition that no competitor should take off
more than one money prize, in the second day's
shooting, therefore caused some alteration in the
first day's programme. Those competitors who on the
latter day won • higher prize, giving the lesser
one, which caused the competitor who had the next
highest score to come in unexpectedly for a prize.
The following are, therefore, the holders of
prizes :

PioiLieric ENcouwren.—On Sunday morning,
during
the hours of Divine Service, • most dis
. -
tal proceeding took place, namely, • prize-
fight, for se. a side, between • blacksmith named
Stanley, and a "navvy." It appears that the former
is of. very pugilistic turn of mind, and on Saturday
he assaulted some navvies, offering to fight the best
man on the line. The challenge was accepted by
oee of the men, and • fight walarninged to come off
in a field adjoining the Cemetery. Thither the oom•
batants repaired on the Sabbath morning, and
hundreds of people (we cannot answer for their re-
spectability) witnessed the proceedings. The prelimi-
nano being el-ranged the fight took place, the
"navvy" having another of the some calling to sot
as his second, whiht the "knight of the anvil" was
agreeably waited upon by another person of the some
profession, together with his" better half," who
held his clothes daring the fight. Several rounds
were fought, but after • short time the black-
smith was "',ambled" most satisfactorily, and
entirely knocked out of time. In fact he received
BOON very severe bruises, and • 'page and cold
water was obliged to be brought into requisition in
order to bring him round. The part the blacksmith's
wife acted is • diagram, to her see, urging her
husband, when he began to flag, to reuewed exer-
tions, and wanting him to fight for • higher stake,
and we hear that she has bulged him to fight again
for 10e. a side. From amounts, however, which
have reached us, we are inclined to believe that the
thrashing he received will teach him a kappa, and
that he will not be in a hurry to try his &tic
powers again. The fight was continued without in-
terruption, the field being out of the boundaries of
the borough police, and being some distance from a
county police-station.
finocgoo Accumwr.—A very sad accident
occurred on Thursday to • young man named Joseph
Forsey about 20 years of age. He had been engaged for
three years in the brewery of Mr. Washbourne, and
was • very steady and sober person. On the day
in question he was coming down some stairs from •
top Moo, which wee only protected by a hand rail,
when by some mesas he slipped and hIL
On the ground was a large ware drainage ,
pipe, with a relish pointed edge, which had been
woken, and upon this the unfortunate young man
fell, the sharp pointed pipe entering his left arm,
tearing away the fifth, muscles, and arteries. He
was taken off the pipe, and Mr. Griffin and Mr.
Surd surgeons were promptly in attendance, and
the sufferer was removed to the Infirmary. The
wound, however, was of a most dangerous nature,
and in order to save the poor fellow's life his
arm was amputated, which operation was
performed on Sunday. The sufferer, we are
glad to hear, is progressing as favourably se can be
expected under the circumstenoes.
Orituso OF A WORKING MAN'S RZAIMIO ROOK.
—We are glad to see that a want which has so long
been felt by the small tradesman and mechanic is at
length about to be filled up, and it is now proposed
to open a working man's reading room, at the Old
Town Hall, High-street. The establishment
will be opened every evening from six Ito
half-past nine o'clock, and will be supplied with
daily and weakly papers, together with books and
periodicals. This will be a very great boon to the
working man during the coming long winter even-
ings, and cannot but be productive of the most
beneficial results. To crown all, the admission is
free, so that it is open to all who choose to avail
themselves of this opportunity. Such an institution
, has long been needed in the town, for hitherto the
bard-working man, after his hours !of labour were
over, bad no place where he could gather information
of poring events, and therefore spent his evenings
in a social chat with his neighbours In a public house.
Certainly there is the Literary Institution, but the
charge for membership is too exorbitant for working
men. We wish the promoters of the new institu-
tion every emcees in their philanthropic work, and
hail with delight a want which has been hitherto to
much needed. The opening of the institution will
take place on Monday evening, the 19th inst., on
which occasion it will be inaugurated by • public
tea meeting.
The RkILWAY.—The works of the Weymouth
and Portland Railway are programing very rapidly.
Some two miles of the metals are permanently laid,
and the bridge acmes the sea opposite the Portland
Ferry Bridge is so far completed as to allow the tip-
carts to run over it and deposit their loads on the
opposite side of the sea.

Tows COUNCIL Mravirro.—A meeting of the
members of this Council was held at the Council
Chamber, on Wednesday. Present—the Mayor;
Aldermen Ayling and Weldord ; Councillors Drew,
Frampton, Maunders, Roberts, Ayles, W. Roberts,
Upjohn, and Harper. The treasurers' and inspector
of police accounts were examined, from which it
appeared that a balance of 4300 18s. 4d. was due to
the former.—The Mayor presented the Harbour
Committee's report, from which we glean that the
committee had inspected the stage opposite the Old
Rooms, and with the amistanoe of the Surveyor and
Harbour Master had come to the conclusion that it
was beyond repair. The question now was if a new
one should be erected. It had been suggested that
the curve in the wall, from the Old Rooms to • shoe-
maker's drop, should be filled up, and • wall erected,
which would allow vessels to lay close alongside the
Quay, and the saw would be available for
machinery to stand on.—Mr. Drew said the oret
fur repairing the stage would be about £lOO,
whereas for £250 • good wall could be built. The
old materials could all be used, and nothing would
be required but labour. He considered if the wall
was built it would be one of the greatest improve-
ment in the harbour, and would do away with the
nuisance arising from the defective drainage of Cove-
row. The report also alluded to the gas-prpe leading
to the Jack-in-the-basket, and said at the present
time it wa• firm; but stated it had been suggested
that a small iron chain should be put • foot above
the piping, in order to protect it when boats passed
over.—Mr. Ayles suggested that the pipes should be
protected by a piece of galvanised iron wire.—Mr.
Drew remarked that in one of the yards belonging
to the Steam Packet Company there were yards Of
the Jersey telegraphic cable lying about, and he had
no doubt if application WAS made for • piece of it, it
could be obtained. —A resolution was then passed in
accordance with the suggestion of Mr. Aylea.—The
Mayor read • letter from the solicitors of the Wey-
mouth and Portland Railway Company, Mears.
Baxter, Roes, and Norton, having reference to a
' letter addressed to them by the Council at their last
meeting, respecting the appointment of Mr. Bruit;
as arbitrator. The communication stated that they
should be willing to appoint Mr. Bruff, provided the
Corporation would pay him for so doing.—Several of
the Councillors enraged eru-priee at this request.,
and said they hat:Lai:2e intended to pay him. —A
resolution was by Mr. Drew, to the effect
that the Town tar should write to Messrs. Barter,
Role, and Norton, undertaking, on behalf of the
Corporation, to pay all expenses incurred by Mr.
Brad, relative to all ahem of dispute of land taken
by the Harbour Tramway. —Tenders having been
invited for repairing the Widows' Cottages on the
Wyk.-road, the following were sent :—Joesp_h
Clarke, £l3; Jeremiah Hibbs, £l2 15..; W. H.
Williams, £lO 10a ; H. F. Carter, £9 10s. The
latter tender was accepted, the Mayor remarking
that there was £l3 odd in the treasurer's hands
available for such a purpose. The estimate of the
Surveyor was £lO 10a—Tenders were also opened
for making an inside entrance to the cellars an the
Market-house, which were as follows :—Edwin
Charles Seaman, £9 17s. 6d.; J. Bartlett, £9 10s. ;
and Richard Reynokh, £9 se. The latter being the
lowed, was therefor* acceptei—Tha Mayor read
the report of the Harbour, Muter, which again
alluded to the defective lighting of the outer pier
lamp, when Mr. Drew remarked that it was one of
the most unadidictory things the Council had to
deal with.—The Mayor said at the last meeting of
the Council there was a bill sent in for £6 or £7, for
placing oil lamps there when the gas had gone out.
Siam then it had again gone out on one of the
roughest night., and two men had been compelled
to go and light it, but in doing eci they were nearly
drowned, as the sea was so heavy. his thought it
would be advisable to examine the toipse and see
who was to blame.—Mr. Roberts said Mr. Church I
had told him that he was certain the pipes were
tampered with, and if the Caned would allow him
to have the entire management of the lamp for three
months be would bear every expose, as he was
satisfied it would then burn very welL—Mr. Drew
remarked that Mr. Church had been once before
allowed to have the lamp in his own bads, when
the charge for pa WU something fearful—Mr.
Roberts replied that Mr. Church would not charge
anything for pa, he would do everything at his oat
expenas..The Mayor, amidst some laughter, said
that when the lamp bad not been lighted, tla meter
showed that 1,700 feet of gas had bees warmed.—
The Harbour Mester was then called in, and

The Mayor mid he had Wen Mr. Church about the

the face of the Esplanade by the sea—The holiness
of the Local Beard of Health, consisted of opening
tenders for the repairs of foothmiths and road& The
Mayor mid the Surveyor had recommended that no
works but those which were absolutely ne"
should be done as the season was too far advanced.
It, however, being the opinion of the Board that
the state of Union•place and Queen's-row was such
as reqyired immediate attention, and tenders having
been invited for Paving the same, the following were

ware received, but the Surveyor was ordered only
temporarily to repair it at a cost of £lO, which
announcement called forth dissent from Mr. Thomas,
who said it wee in • most disgraceful state, and that
other streets were repaired in preference to that one.
After some other minor business the meeting
separated.
Sum firsameo.—Daniel Hawkins, a ticket-of-leave
man, a very old offender, and George Andrews, a watch-
man on the Weymouth and Portland Railway Works,
were brought up in custody, before Captain Manning
and R. W. Swaffield, Req., charged with stealing •
sheep, belonging tiMemrs. Bamton and Sons, butchers,
from • field on the Chickerell-road, on Tuesday night.
—Mr. Stigmal conducted the ease on behalf of the pro-
secution.—Joseph Lombard said: I am a labourer, in
the employ of Messrs. Hamden and Sons. I put 13 fat
Portland wither sheep in a hovel, near Powell Villa,
on the Chickerell-road, on Tuesday night, at about five
o'clock. I fastened them in with hurdles and left them
all safe—James Cox Gale, another man in the employ
of prosecutors, said: On Wednesday morning, about a
quarter-past six, I went to the field where the sheep
were kept, on the Chickerell-road. When I got there
the first thing I observed were some strange footmark.
near the gateway. On turning into the stall
I found a part of • sheep lying near the
door, and the skin which was covered with blood.
in the hovel I observed the dirt pulled about, and some
blood where the sheep had been stuck. There were 11
sheep in the hovel, there ought to have been 12. I
then acquainted my master with what I had seen.—
Edward Bannten, Jun., deposed: In consequence of
Information I received I proceeded to • hovel near
Powell Villa on Wednesday morning, soon after seven
o'clock. I then found that one of the sheep had been
killed, and that the neck, breast, head, skin,
and entrails had been left behind, but the other portion
of the carcase, had been carried away. I also observed
footmarks round about where the carcase was lying,
and to and from the gate, and leading for a considerable
&Mame towards the Weymouth Road. The footmarks
were of • very peculiar character. I then went to the
Wyke police-station and informed the serreant of my
1 and afterwards to Superintendent Underwood,at . In the evening of the Dame day from
Information I received I went to some stables on the
railway, and found some met which was concealed in
• manure heap there. In company with the Superinten-
dent I proeseled to Andrews', house in Havelock-place,
Weymouth, where we also found some mutton suet
which corresponded with that at the railway stables.—
Prisoner could not account for the suet and he was
taken into custody. He mid he bought it on Saturday
night with • breast of mutton at Mr. Layer's. On
Thursday morning from further information I went
with Superintendent Underwood to Andrews's house
again, and afterwards to a field near the Old Castle.
where we found two legs of mutton, one shoulder, and
part of two loins, concealed in • furze bush. The
Superintendent took possession of the mutton, and
afterwards compared it with that at Andrews's house,
which appeared to be of the same quality, and on being
fitted with the joints at the hovel exactly corresponded
I identify the sheep by its head and horns as the one
lout on Tuesday. The skin was not marked, as it was
Intended for exhibition in London. It is usual for
butchers to mark their sheep, but as these were intended
for exhibition I did not do so, as being marked spoiled
their appearanoc.- —Edward Adams, deposed :—I am •
horsekeeper in the employ of the Portland Railway
Company. The prisoner Andrews was employed
as • watchman during the night. The stables
and watch-house were in Andrews's charge from
Bor 9 o'olook until about 4 o'clock in the morning. I
left the works about 8 or 9 o'clock on Tuesday evening,
and returned at 5 o'clock the next morning. I left
Andrews there on Tuesday night,and found hiin on my
return the next morning. In consequence of some fowls
scratching in a dung-heap some mutton fat was dis-
covered, tied up in • red handkerchief in • manure-heap
near the stable'. I took it to the stables and soon after
saw Andrews there. I told him I bad found the fat,
when he said he knew nothing about it, and he would
not have had it there for £5. I believe the fat weighed
ten or twelve pounds. I gave it to the superintendent.
The fat and the handkerchief produced were the same
as I found—Sergeant Pitfield, of the county constabu-
larly, deposed: On Wedeesday morning I received in-
formation that • sheen bad been stolen. In company
with Mr. Bannton I proceeded to the field where I
found footmarks of a peculiar description. I covered
ten of them over in order to proem them. I after-
wards took Hawkins in custody at the Bridge Inn,
and charged him with dealing • sleep. I searched
him and found a knife in his possession. Upon
Hawkins's shirt and slop were some spots of blood. I
compared the marks in the field with the hoots taken
from Hawkina, and they corresponded. On Wednesday
moraine, about half-past three, I saw the prisoners to-
gether in the watch-house, belonging ti the Railway
Company. Andrews left when be saw me, but I took
Hawkins to Dorchester. He asked when he should go
before the magistrates. I told him it was impossible to
say. He said" he might as well be hung for a sheep as
lamb, and hoped they would send him to Australia. A
fellow could not live honestly. After he had been
' legged,' every body was down upon him,"--William
Russell, a blacksmith, in the employ of the Railway
Company, proved being present in the stables when the
fat was found, when Andrews said" Don't make a noise
about it."—Mr. Bamton was re-called, when he said he
saw the comparison of the boots with the footmarks, and
they corresponded. The suet of the stolen animal was
of • very rich nature, and be had no doubt it came from
the miming animal—Superintendent Underwood said: I
received some fat from Adams, I afterwards went to
Andrews' house, when hie wife gave me the piece of
suet produced. I then went to the watch-house, and told
Andrews I should take him in custody on suspicion
of stealing the sheep. He said he did not steal it. I
cautioned him about making any statement, when he
replied that he wished he bad never seen Hawkins. He
also stated that he had • good mind to tell me before
how it happened, but be would now tell him all about
It. He then said that Hawkins came to his place about
nine o'clock on Tuesday_ night, when be brought in part
of • sheep in a bag He (Andrews) looked at it, and
replied that he would not have it there, when Hawkins
took it away. When he (Andrews) went home in the
morning he found the deep and the bag there, and his
wife told him that she had let Hawkins in, when he
left it there. She thought it was chips. He told his
wife to hide it, which she did, and told Hawkins where
she had placed it. If it had not been for Haw-
kins it would never have happened ; he wished be
bad never se-, him. I went to the field pointed out on
Thursday worning, and found the mutton produced. I
compared the boots with the footprints, and every nail
oorresponded.—Neither prisoner made any defence,
but Hawkins was very insolent, and Captain Manning
threatened to have him handcuffed. They were both
committed for trial at Sessioes.

LONDON CTIT Mll4slollll.—The annual meeting of the
Weymouth and Portland Branch of this AMOCiaiioo
was held at the National School-room, on Wednesday
evening. There was • numerous attendance, and the
chair was taken by the Ray. T. Greene, who read the
report from the ladies' oommittee for the past year, from
which it appeared that £74 is. 10d. bad been collected,
showing an increase of about £l4 on the collection of
the previous year.—The Rev. I. Hirt also addressed the
meeting, speaking of the good that had been effected
through the agency of the London City Windom, and
asking all Christians to support it, both with their
money and their s mpatb .—The deputation, the Rev.
Francis Tyrrel, the meeting at considerable
length, stating that the society was carrying out the
command of the Saviour, "GO ye quickly into the
streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the
lame, the halt, and the blind." This command had
been strictly obeyed during the last 365 days.
The deputation then entered at great length into the
operations of the Society arriongd the foreigners
who had been induced to mit this country, through the
opening of the Great International Exhibition, and
ma:rated several instances of the sonneekee at (*Minors
through the agency of the City eee, sled mistrasled
the easy SCOO4O to foreigners which the mknionariss bad
obtained last year, to the year 1861, when they visited
the exhibition of that time. The rev. gentleman also
gave most interesting anecdotes relative to the Society's ,
operations moonpt different denies of the great city, I
and concluded by earnestly smiling to his audience to ,
support the society, whom claims advocated.—A
liberal collection was made at the doors.

by Mr. W. Pearce, collector of the rent-charge in lieu
of tithes for the Rev. D. Hogarth, stating that they
will be gathered in or about the 20th inst. The tithe
Pavers are requested to pay the accounts due, as the
uprightness and reasonabletiew of so doing have so often
been explained that it is now determined to distress
upon all defaulters. The notice concludes by expressing
a hope that no one will form the eolleeter to have

injurious to defaulters.
EATUITAINIUNT.—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rickman,
from London, gave their popular humerous,gmlmical.
woad, and instrumental entertainment, entitled
"Sketches of Town and Country Life " at the school-
room. Fortune's-well, on Tuesday evening. There was
• respectable gathering, and the entertainment gave
ritidactlon:
PIIDDLETOWN.—Harvest thanksgiving services
were celebrated in the parish church of St. Mary,
Puddletown, on Sunday, the llth inst., the interior
being prettily decorated with corn, flowers, and
ferns. On the altar was placed a miniature sheaf of
wheat, and above it a cross, covered with dahlias,
dark, red, and white, alternately, and also the text,
"I am the Bread of Life." Over the chancel-arch
was also in red letters, on • white ground, "Who
giveth food to all flesh; for His mercy enduroth for
ever," and above two other arches, in blue letters,
"Tbe Harvest truly is plenteous," and "Thou shalt
keep the Feast of Harvest." The service was
choral, with Tallies responses. The Psalms were
chanted to two 'tingle chants, by Hayes and Crotch;
Venae and Contrite to a Greek chant; Bertedietie
to a single chant, by the Rev. C. Dickinson;
Jubilate to Hayes, and Deus Misereatur to
Woodward. Before the sermon the hymn, "Lord
of the Harvest," from the Salisbury Hymn Book,
(which was on that day introduced for the first time),
was sung to the tune Palestrina. Prayers were in-
toned, morning and evening, by the Rev. Campbell
Lock, curate. The sermon in the morning was
preached by the vicar, the Rev. J. A. Templer,
from St. John xiii., verse 34; and that at evensong,
by the Rev. Campbell Lock,from Acts xiv., verse 17
—" Nevertheless He left not Himself without
witness, in that He did good, and gave us rain from
heaven, and fruitful nal01:111, filling our hearts with
food and gladness." After which the joyous hymn,
" The Strain upraise," to Troyte's chant No. 2,
brought the festival to a close. The hearty manner
, in which the large congregations present joined in
the music showed bow much it was appreciated, and
we are glad to learn that it is proposed to continue
the choral service for the future at evensong every
Sunday. The thankofferings of the congregation
amounted to £9 fis. 6d., and have been given to the
Dorset County "lovas'.

BLANDFORD.--Courrry Covitr.—His Honor,
Judge Everett, held his usual monthly court at the
Town Hall on Monday.—The cause list was not so
heavy as oil many previous occasions, but two of the
cases occupied the Court for a length of time.
ARBITRATION CASR.--Stephen Morphus v. Eliza
Monk.—ln this cue Mr. Chitty made application on
behalf of the plaintiff on the ground that sufficient
notice had not been given to his client of the day
when Mr. Rickman,who was appointed arbitrator,to
settle the claim. The only parties who were able
to attend were the plaintiff and his wife, who had
only received one day's notice, and other witnesses
flea:unary to a right understanding of the case were
not present, there not being sufficient time to
give them notice. In cross-examination by Mr.
Atkinson, the attorney for the defendant, plaintiff
said that at the time he objected to the arbitraties,
Mr. Moore appeared for him,bat he was of no use, se
he (Mr. Atkinson) had all the talk. (Laughter.)—
W. Monk, son of the defendant, denied that any
objection was made by the plaintiff as to the claim
being settled. Neither Mr. Moore nor the plaintiff
complained of want of time to produce witnesses.—
His Honor, after hearing the remarks made by the
legal gentlemen engaged, adjourned the case tin the
next Court day,to allow the arbitrator, Mr. Rickman,
to show whether or not sufficient notice had been
given by him of the day the arbitration was made.
Acnox TO Ritcovaa WAol&—George Randall r.
George Baker.—Mr. Chitty for the plaintiff, Mr.
Atkinson for the defendant —The chief points at
issue in this case were, whether the plaintiff did or
did not by refusing to do certain work required of
him by his employer, the defendant, virtually break
his °entreat —lt appeared from the evidence that
the plaintiff commenced on the 6th of April, 1862,
to work as carter for the defendant, a large farmer
at Hilton, for twelve months, for which be was to be
paid 9s. per week, CI extra for harvest, 100 of funs,
ls. for journeys, and the use of 20 lug of potato
ground.—Mr. Chitty having opened the case, called
his client, who deposed that be worked for Mr.
Baker up to the end of the first week of wheat
harvest, and on Friday night between 8 and 9
o'clock he received orders to assist in putting up
some straw on • rick of wheat; he put up a little,
but as he had his hones to attend he went away.
His master sent for him, and be told him to come
and take his money. At first he was about doing
so, but did not take it. He applied to his master
several mornings after to let him work, but he
refused. He also refused to let him take his
potatoes up, and to pay him for the remainder of his
term of agreement.—The potatoes in the ground he
considered worth £3.—Croesexamined : Did
put up a little of the straw, but did not con-
sider it was his place as he had his horse,
to see to. He never agreed, nor was it
in his agreement, to pay for the potato
land. Complainant's statement was partially
supported by George King, working as
carter for Mr. Balter.—Mr. Atkinson, on behalf
of his client, contended that as the plaintiff bad
broken his agreement by refusing to do the work he
was ordered. by his employer, he had forfeited all
right to the Xl for harvest, and was only entitled to
the cost of the seed, and the labour of planting the
potatoes. The seed and labour was considered to be
worth Its., and this, with 9a for the week's work,
which ended on the Friday night, plaintiff had been
discharged, had been paid into Court. In support of
the case he called Mr. Baker, who stated that the
reason he discharaed the plaintiff was because he re-
fused to obey his orders, in consequence of which
two other men had to leave off work, to which he
had to set three men the next day. It was between
7 and 8 in the evening when plaintiff was ordered to
put up the straw.—William Collins, bead carter,
corroborated his employer's statement —Mr. Chitty
replied on the case, contending that his client had
not broken his contract, insomuch as though he did
not help in covering the rick with draw, he went
into the stable and attended to his horses, which was
his proper work.—His Lordship, in summing up,
said there was no doubt the plaintiff had broken his
agreement, for what was the extra Cl given for
barred work, but for extra work required at that
time. The plaintiff, therefore, as be had broken his
contract by not doing as he was ordered, forfeited
this. As to the claim of 9a for loss of a week's
work by wrongful dismisal, that, too, must be
abandoned; but as regarded the potatoes which were
planted by the plaintiff, as they formed part of his
wages, he was justly entitled to them. They had
been valued by two parties as worth £3, and the
order would therefore be for £2 5e., in addition to
the 16e, for seed and labour, and 9a. for wages paid
into Court to be reduced to Is. on the potatoes, if
they were returned to the plaintiff.

ANOTHER Marl:MID CASE RETWZIN • FARMER
AND HIS Mix. Ihumut and William Master.
man v. William Fory MackerslL—The plaintiffs in
this case were farm lahourers employed by the de.
fondant, one of the largest farmers in theadiititt
residing at Spettiabury.—Mr. Chitty, who p
for the plaintiffs, mid his clients in this case were
poor men, who took a certain quantity of swede
turnip hoeing from the plaintiff, for which they were
to receive he. per acre for twice hoeing. After they
had hoed the turnips once, and one piece twice, they
were not permitted by the plaintiff to complete the
work, and he refused to pay them at the rate they
agreed upon, and would only pay them for once
hoeing, at the rate of se. per acre. There were two
plots—one of upwards of 14 acres, and the other over
11 sores. He contended it was very hard upon them
men thus to be deprived of their just rights.—He
than called John Durrant, who stated that he a
to hoe two pieces of swede turnips, for the defendant,
at he. per acre. Before they had gone through the
second piece they were called away to harvest work, at
which they were employed about a fortnight. After
they had gone over ba,,h pieces once, and one twice,
Mr. Mackerell would not allow them to complete
the job, and would only pay them for once hoeing,
whereas they took the job at Bs. for twice hoeing.
The reason why one piece did not require twice
hoeing was because they had so thoroughly done the
work at first that it needed not a second hoeing.—
William Idseterman corroborsted his companion's
statement—The plaintiffs solicitor also called two
other witnesses, John 131andford of Rimperne, and
John Grant of flpilibury, who both stated that
the work was well done; wse fully worth S:pc
acre, and that it was not Mr. Mackerel!'. regular
custom to give sa. for first hoeing, 3a. for second;
for he had given 10s. and 12e. per acre for twice
hoeing turnips. —Mr. Atkin/on, onbehalf of his client,
contended that there was no agreement made by ,
him with the plaintiffs for them to hoe the turnips
twice. One part of the work was never done twice,
in consequence of a portion being so badly done,
that his client refused to allow the men to go
on. The work had been examined by respectable
fanners in the neighbourhood, and they considered
that the work was so badly done that Ls. 6d. per
acre was quite enough for such work. They had
paid into Court tl 7s. 24., which was rather more
' than at that valuation.—Mr. T. MaokereU, on being
examined, mid that he engird the plaintiffs to do
some turnip hoeing; they were to receive fe. per
acre for first hoeing, and if be had the turnips twice
hoed 3s. for soma ; but this would depend on
whether they would require it or not. As • part of
of the 11 acres was not fit for hoeing when the 14
sores were finished, Durant went to harvest work,
and completed it when harvest was over. They
than weal into the 14 acres to hoe a seisond time,
sad on the Nth Anon he ow thew at week.
They we Nina eery feet, sad whoa he got to thew

he said to Durrant, "You are not doing this work
well, you must do it again. Durrant replied he
should not do it again. Defendant then said
he told him and his companion be thould not allow
them to go on with the other piece (the 14 acme).—
In cross-examination by Mr. Chitty, defendant
denied that Durrant offered to have a person
to look over the work.— A paper was then
handed to the defendant, which he acknowledged
to be his handwriting of statement of the
work dose by the plaintiffs, and charged at
per acre.—Mr. Chitty commented on the absence in
it of any fault being found with the work.- -Charles
Bartlett, in the employ of the defendant, stated that
his attention was called to the way in which the
plaintiffs were doing the work the second time of
hoeing: they carried half a ridge at a time. It
wie impossible thus to do the work well. —Jolla
Cake said he worked in the same field as the
plaintiffs, but did not particularly notice the work.
Was paid ss. for first hoeing,and 3e. for second. Mr.
E. Cane, of Abner, farmer, said that by Mr.
Mackerell's request he went over the acres of turnips
in dispute. They were badly done. There were
thistles among them, and other weeds. Some of the
ground had not been turned at all.—Mr. Joseph
Williams, of Bryanston, also spoke to the bad way
the work was done. Is. 6d. per acre, was quite
sufficient, indeed, if it had been his, he would not
have given that—This being the whole of the case,
Mr. Chitty replied, expressing his earnest hope and
belief that though his clients were poor men, they
would have justice done them. On one aide was a
respectable farmer, backed by two of his own clam,
and on the other two labouring men he had employed,
supported in their evidence by two men of the
same clam. He considered that the balance of
evidence was in favour of his client*, who now
claimed what theroonsidered waa their just rights.
—His Lordship minutely summed up the case,
pointing out that though as Mr. Chitty had
observed the defendant was supported by two
of his own clam, yet that he was also sup-
ported, and that very materially, by two of the
same class as the plaintiffs. He then pro-
ceeded to show that the statement of the
defendant .that hal had not made an agreement
at Bs. for twice hoeing was most probably the correct
one, for he could not tell whether the swedes would
require it or not. One of the witnesees, and be of the
same clam as the plaintiffs, had shown that at the
rate they were doing the work it was impossible
to do it properly, and be could not but conclude
that the amount paid into Court was a fair sum for
the second hoeing was its full value.—Judgment
must therefore be given for defendant.
Harvey r. MarshalL —The question at issue in this
case was as to whether the amount of work charged

fkrasruno, BUT Taos I—A wealthy farmer, a loud
professor of religion, residing not 100 miles from Dor-1
cheater, who has this year been blessed with an abundant
harvest, actually had his fields swept of every grain,
riding himself behind each wagon to see that not one ear
of corn was left for the poor gleaners, thus showing him-
self unmindful of Hin Master's mercies by failing to do
aeoording to His Word. (See Leviticus, chap. 19, verses
9 and 10.) We trust, for the sake of humanity, there
are not many of his class about, and bops for the future
he will ponder over the duty enjoined of giving according
as we have received, remembering "that he that givetb
to the poor lendeth to the Lord;" and that to whom
much is given, much will be required.

WI M BORNE. —8 r taxi. Prerrr Sdatos, Wednes-
day October 14th.—Before the Rev. C. J. Glynn,
Major Portman, and J. T. Beaked, Req., Simeon
Balm, a oonfidental labourer in the employ of Mr.
Henry Friend, of High Lee Farm, Hinton Martell,
was charged with stealing a thick well-seasoned elm
plank, from a stable, the property of his master. It
appeared prisoner and his father had been em-
ployed all their lives by Mr. Friend, and his late
father, in whom they put the greatest confidence.
Prisoner was stopped by P.C. Stockley earring away
the plank after dark on the 9th inst., towards his
home. —The Chairman expressed his sorrow to see the
prisoner in such a position, and add he was sorry to
band him to prison; but they could not help them-
selves, they had searched all the books to see if they
could lee king, but was unable to do so, and be mud
go to prison for 7 days without hard labour.—We
are unable to understand why a occidental servant
should be treated so leniently for robbing his
employer. .
