for • seconder and there was the same difficulty again.
Every body shook their beads. but the Rev. Mr. Lines
ultimately did an That finished the meeting. During
the proceedings Mr. Eliot said" Gentlemen, to show you
what sort of temper Mr. Ellis possesses, I will toll you
that he was LSI my bank the other day and he said "thee.
goes Mr. Gretna, my greatest enemy.'
Mr. Kerslake: Had Mr. Ellis up to this point shown
any temper
Mr. Dickinson: No good temper at any rate
Witness continued. Upon that he said he thought it
was a very cruel thing to say, and then mentioned what
Mr. Guavas had said as to spending his money to tarn
hie! out.

—iirT-dreavis said he emphatically and distinctly denied
haring said any such words, an assertion which he
(withers) was very much surprised to hear. He (witness)
said he did, and then Kr. Gramm said he did not, and
then the uproar arose which bad been talked about.
By his lordship This wrangle occupied about tat
minute.. A sharp but severs contest
Wiloasa: Well It,. (heaves wanted the lad word and
I would have it. My word is ail good as his.
After the meeting on the same day he met Robertson
the street, who stopped him and said "There's being some
hard swearing this morning, Talbot." He said ym, and
Robinson than said I believe youiiiefore.t.bie rector.
. .

,
His Lordship : Can wegointothiul I think not.
Mr. Harshke : Very well, your lordship, after that
intimation I will go on.
The examination of witness then related to Mr.
conduct at the meeting. He denied that he *evd either
rudely or abruptly. It was not true to say Hr. Ellis warn
permitted to make any statement he liked without
interruption, and it was utterly false to way that hie
conduct was so violent that the chairman we. obliged to
request him to leave the room. The resolutions dealing
with the illumine' of Mr. Ellis were brought to the
meeting reedy prepared; and there was no delib•ra•
lion upon them previous to being put. On the days
previous to this meeting he called upon Mr. Andrews and
asked him, ea having more influence over Mr. (heaves than
any other man in Weymouth, to use his voice and try and
settle the difference.. but ell he said was that he did not
Irish to enter into it, it was too laus—too bite, se evidently
it wee all settled. Afterwards he saw Robertson, a
particular friend of his, and said, "I es quite ashamed
of you, alter what you have said in favour of Kr. Ellis, to
vote ea you have to please Kr. Greases He thee said,
" What could I do against Mr. Greene." Upon that he
asked him if Mr. Creates had said he wished it all made
so what he and the other trustees would have said, and
Kr. Robertson said we should have hold up both bands.
Now in your opinion is Mr. Ellis a fitting man for the
Head-nuatenhip of the Collegiate School
Most decidedly; and Mr. Greaves has told me himself
they had no fault to find with him, but that they lilted
him in every filmset.
In your Judgment, if his dismissal stands, will the
school be the better or the wale for it I should
think very enrich the worse for it.
The court adjourned

WEDNESDAY.
After Cho examination of ILL Hem %km.

The Rev. John Miller was examined: He said up till
midsummer 1574 when Mr. Ellis gave up the manage-
ment, there was no mention of Greek being taught nor
was it to be found in any other oroswmtus ; bat Greek had
been taught in the achoooL ISIS he thought we. the first
year he taught it. and had been continued at intervals up
to the present time. In his judgement that constituted no
difference between the Collegiate and Middle Schoola. as
In his case it wee an "extra subject and in no way altered
the character of the school. He had written • letter to
Mr. Ellis in 1872. instancing Greek as "the Icor stone of
the difference between the erbools.and be still contonded
that It. being taught as "an extra" in not the Mightn't
way interfered with his insertion. The proportion of boys
to whom Greek had been taught 1 per cent.
Witness wee then asked the number of boys in hie
school in ICI, and he staled it to be somewhere over GO;
but he mid. of course In tiring the amain he answered
"Insatiate Well. we don't suppose you had to teach
half • boy. (Later).
Witness then wished to correct his statement, and mid
It waa Jost about two per cent Mr. °reeves had not
taught the boys Greek or anything ales—certainly not.
Mr. Hastings : Than "Use special training for mission-
ary work " did not include Greek I—No. it "corn.

The Vioe-Chanoellor : Didn't what I—No boy was ever

Witness condoned : If • boy came to the school and
wanted to learn Greek his first consideration would be the
boy's pecuniary circumstances. —Winsome qualified this by
saying that if the boy were poor be should charge him a
small tee: but if he were not, and amid afford high ter me,
he should probably refuse to take him at all.
The VictoChancellor : Why t—Because he would proble-
m" require more reading In Greek than we could gin. him,
and could afford the terms of • higher chin
His fixed fee was half-a-gmasa • term. Asked his
explanation of the term " the modern sick of a public
