COUNTY COURT—The business connected with
this court was transacsad on Thursday, before
Edward Everett, Esq., but the cause list did not
comprise any proceedings worth reporting.

Rtrur Seoorirra..—We observe by the Volunteer
Gazette' of the 2nd inst., that Sergeant Charles and
Private Henry Warren, of the sth D.R.V., in the late
Enfield simultaneous competition in which Great
Britain and Canada were engaged, were fortunate enough
to win • prise each. There were upwards of 25,000
competitors.
ANOTHER AMATEUR CONCERT. —thlr readers will,
no doubt, be charmed to learn that the amateur
concert, in aid of the restoration of the Organ at
Wool Church, will take plaee at Weymouth, on
Thursday next, the 14th of' this month. The
success and gratification which was received from the
Dorchester concert in aid of the same object will, no
doubt, be a great means of promoting the assembling
of a large number of delighted bearers on the occa-
sion of this second preformanoe. We may hope that
it will be as well (if not better) attended as the
last, and as Miss Hinckley and Miss Newington have
kindly promised again to lend their valuable
services we are sure it cannot do otherwise than suc-
ceed admirably: Particulars relating to patronage,
&c., will, no doubt, be duly issued.—.L. W.
Coutrrr Parry Rumors, Friday.—Before R. H.
Swaffield, and R. if. Eliot, Esqrs.—Four seamen Wong.,
ing to the schooner Harriett, of Brixham, named
Thomas Tupman, Henry Carrington, Thomas Oliver,
and James Masson, were brought up in custody charged
by their muter, William Patsy, with insubordination.
—The eaptain said that defendants signed articles for a
voyage from Shields to any port in Sicily and back to
any port in the United Kingdom. On Saturday, whilst
off the Needles,. defendants refused to obey his com-
mands, but did not assign any reason for so doing.
' They afterwards returned to duty, but upon being
ordered to leave the topmast they again refused, and
then said they would not do anymore work until the
ship was put into some port. They all went below and
did not do anything snore until reaching Portland Roads
when they assisted in bringing the vessel to anchor and
afterwards kept watch through the night. On Monday
morning, however, they demanded their diseharge.—Mr.
Tisard, who appeared on behalf of defendants, elicited
in cross-examination that the schooner was 41 tons
register and had four years to go in the A I clam.—
The defence set up was that the master had not kept
faith with the men in having the vessel repaired at the
first convenient port, and that they were perfectiy
justified in refusing to work until the schooner was in a
seaworthy condition.—Under these circumstances the
case was dismissed, but the Bench intimated that after
the schooner was put in condition, and the crew refused
to work, they could then be punished.
Pirrry SERMONS, Friday.—Before the Mayor.—
Alfrid Foster' a marine, belonging to H. MS. St.
George, was brought up in custody charged with
obtaining, by false pretences, seven yards of flannel
from Mr. Alfred Rolle, of No. 1, Charlotte-row,
valued at 16s. 4cl.—Prosecutor's wife said that on
Thursday afternoon, about half-past three, prisoner
came to her shop and asked to be supplied with
seven yards of flannel, which were supplied him.
She made out the bill and marked " paid," thinking
he was going to pay for it. He, however, said he
was not to pay for it, but that she must put it
down to Lieutenant Which, of H.M.S. St. George.
She demurred against this, but prisoner said it was
all right, and would sign his name as having received
it. Thinking he had been sent by Lieutenant
Which f.r the goods she allowed prisoner to have
them, but should not have done so had he not made
that repreeentation.—Mary Ann Foree said, that on
the day in question prisoner offered her the flannel
for 93., which she bought, but afterwards gave it to
the police.—Sergeant Harvey proved taking pri-
soner in custody and also receiving the flannel from
last witness.—Remanded in order for Lieutenant
Whish to be communicated with.
