—bOII.I,:ii—COCKTT FIIVIDLY ROCIWIT.—At Swanage on
Thursday an entertainment was got up by members of the
club, and the proceeds went to defray the incidental ex-
penses of the day. The affair was • great samosa, the
room being crowded, and many people were unable to
gain admittance the amount taken at the doors was
about £.B. Miss Colson presented theettrizes for spelling.
The first prize, two pictures, was the ft of Mr. F. Burt,
of Westminster, and WY won by e secretary of the
club, Mr. H. Manwell ; the second prize, • photograph of
Tilly Whim, was won by Mr. Collins; and the third, a
picture of Swansea Bay, was won by C. Coleman.
Tug Magna Virffral /derma was held on Friday last,
the Rev. D. Travers in the chair. Mr. W. G. White and
Mr. Harm= were re-elected churchwardens for UN
ensiling year, and the accounts for the past year were
examined by Mr. C. Bui t and Mr. Palgrave. Mr. P.
Delamotte and Mr. Sinedmore were re elected trustees of
the Mowlem Institution. Mr. G. Burt suggested that
some provision should he made by the churchwardens that ,
the parish clerk should receive a pension in his old age, ,
and that some younger person be looked out to assist him
in his duties, to meet the gnawing infirmities of age. It
was decided that the ringers should be paid Nee guineas
per annum. The parish church, now only insured for
£B.OOO, is to he insured for L 3,000. Mr. G. Burt asked if
it would he in perfect order to inquire about the church
property I—the perish seemed in a fog about it The
church property WAM vested in the hands of feoffees, three
of which are now living—Mr. William Grove White, Mr.
Bower, and Mr. Garret The latter gentleman, although ,
chosen about 21 years ago, had never acted in any way
in fact there had been no meeting at all for about 40 '
years. Mr. G. Bert had written to /dr. W. G. White, but ,
could get no reply.—lt is feasible to surmise that some of
the property has been forfeited, and it is a fact that the
Lords' Rent has not Iron properly collected on some of
the property. It was also shown that the property was
not yielding what it should do, and although the funds
were not sufficient to meet the necessary expenses atten-
dant on the services at the parish church, yet some
cottages belonging to the church were let at the (abating
rent of £2 per annum. —Mr. Robinson said from what
had transpired it appeared that the churchwardens were
the (coffees' ez-o/icio, and that the meeting was in power
to deal with the question. It was proposed that the
churchwardens should call a meeting to elect • committee
to investigate the whole matter.

assault on the 17th inst —lt appeared complainant went
over to measure his work (draining) which he had been
doing for defendant, when he was ordered off the ground.
Defendant then took • pick and beat it about com-
plainants ears, and cut his head open.—John Green, •
r, said he saw Mr. Clark hit Thorn twice. He
heard complainant ask Mr. Clark to measure his work,

EXTRAORDINARY. FORGERIES.

..... . -
A system of forgery has been brought to light, and it is
at present in the hands of the French and the city of
London police, which appears to be of the most extra-
ordinary and extensive character, and if it had not been
nipped in its commencement would probably, in the result
have equalled if not exceeded, the forgeries upon the Bank
of England, by the four Americans, in amount. Foreign
bills, as in the case of the Bank of England forgeries, have
again been made the subject of the fraud. The course
adopted was to obtain a genuine foreign bill upon • London
banker, and then, by some chemical process, the original
figures and writing relating to the amount were entirely
obliterated, and a much larger amount inserted. The
sums for which the bills were obtained were generally
under .(110, and such as £l7 or .£l9, and the writing put
was then altered to "seventeen hundred," and the figures I
were made to correspond. The obliteration was so
complete that no trace of the original writing could be
discovered under the microscope, and as all the signatures
and every other portion of the document were perfectly
genuine no suspicion was entertained, and the forged bills
were paid in • great many instances. In one case • bill
upon Messrs. Samuel. Montague, and Co. for LIT was
altered to £1.700, and the amount was paid. In another
Instance • big for £l9, upon the London and Westminster
Bank, was altered to £1,900, and was paid without any
suspicion. The forgeries were, of course, soon discovered,
and information was given to the police here and on the
Continent, and the necessary inquires were set on foot.
The police at Paris appeared to have had their attention
directed to • man who was spending his money very freely,
and their suspicion was inaticularly attracted by this
individual having changed • great many £lOO Bank of
England notes. The forged lulls upon Messrs. Samuel,
Montague, and Co. and upon the London and Westminster
were mostly paid in £lOO notes, and when the individual
referred to was taken into custody, nearly the whole of
the notes paid by the latter bank were found in his
possession. Further inquires are now going on, and the
prisoner, who is in custody at Paris, will, it is expected,
be brought to London in a few days, when several charges
of forgery will be preferred against him.

GREAT FME AT POOLE.
(BY TICLICIAPH.)

m owe own Amami.)
About halFplfat sin on Sunday morning Mr. Lenin's
foundry at Poole was discovered to be on fire. The
Quay engine under Captain Stone was promptly on
the spot The fire commenced in the yacht building
rapidly to the term' shop, and
Cg, Nilact !dings were speedily rased to the
ground ; but for strenuous exertions in disconnecting
the fitter's shop by cutting away part of the roof, the
whole of the foundry must have been destroyed. The
supply of water wee very scanty, and had to be con-
voyed to the engines in buckets, the hose not being
long enough to attach to the water plugs. The fire
brigade worked very wielouidy and in leas than two
hours the flames were subdued. Three laundries
were destroyed, and the damage is estimated at from
£lO,OOO to 914,000. The fire cannot be accounted for
In anyway. We understand Mr. Lewin is but partially
insured.

Ms VOCAL Aesocixtrtos.—This association con-

evening, at the Corn Exchange, which was attended
with II very marked amount of lITICOBSL There was
large and fashionable audience, comprising representa-
tives of the chief lumina; of the town and neighbour-
hood, while the programm, was gone through without
a hitch. The on put forward on the present
occasion 64 members; 25 sopranos, 13 contraltos, 12
tenors, and 14 bass in addition to the instrumentalist's
of whom Mr. Charles Keats was leader, with Mr. W.
Stone, of Bridport, as solo violin ; and the following
professionals were engaged on the occasion, Miss Mary
Davis (soprano), Miss M. J. Williams (contralto), and
Mr. E. Debenham (tenor), while as honorary accom-
Playlet& Mr. Joseph Robinson, jun. (pianoforte), and
W. Walter Gregory (harmonium), tendered their
services. The first portion of the programme consisted
chiefly of extracts; from Haydn's Creation," while
the second embraced several familiar secular composi-
tions. Without attempting any criticism we may say
the choruses went wonderfully well, being marked
with a precision that showed the indefatigable
attention which had been paid by Mr. Boyton
Smith the conductor. Miss William' (contralto) and
Mies Davies (soprano) both sufficiently charmed their
audience to evoke encores. Mr. Stone of Bridport
gave • violin solo which was considered the gem of the
evening, and no doubt it was • very surprising display
of artistic manipulation. Altogether the whole of the
performer' may be warmly congratulated, and not the
least to whom thanks are due is the hard working hon.

altath 01 far. Ilbmitan Coombs.

It is with deep regret we have this week to announce
the decease of Mr. Thomas Coombe. solicitor of this
town, which sad event occurred at half-past eleven
o'clock on Sunday morning, the MI April. Mr.
Coombs was universally beloved an•l resp-cted, and
from time to time filled many import int offices in the
borough and county, haring twice oecupie I the civic
chair, and for very many years oidy discharged the
duties of alderman of the borough, lie a .is also Clerk
to the Justices of the Dorchester division, and to the
Highway Hoard up to the time of his i!e--ease, and
until recently when failing health compelled his retire-
ment from such active duties, was in command of the
Dorchester Rifle Volunteers, as well as being honorary
, secretary of the County Volunteer Association, chair-
man of the directors of the Gas Company, Provincial
Grand Secretary of the Freemasons of the Dorset
province, acting under-sheriff for the county, one of
feoffeee of the Grammar School and local charities of
the town, and principal agent in political matters in
the Conservative interest Mr. Coombe will also long
be remembered as the almost perpetual chairman of
the annual tradesmen, gathering at the King's Arms
Hotel, and it may fairly be said that in discharging
the duties of these important offices, and in his pro-
feedonal practice, he won for himself the highest
esteem and his loss will be sadly felt. The deceased
gentleman was 57 year. of age, and he leaves a widow
and three children by a former marriage to mourn their
loss, with all of whom the greatest sympathy is felt,
His death has caused • sad gloom throughont the
town and neighbourhood.
