The accused was apprehended at Southampton by Supt.
Coward on the charge of dealing a watch, and of that
charge he had since been acquitted. The superintendent,
however, recognised him as a private of the Dorset

the man had joined the Manta Artillery Militia. Prisoner

ILL-TRZATING A WIFE.
JoAn Wright, a carpentei. who appeared in a rather
stupid state, was summoned for threatening and ill-treat-
big wife, They live at Hope Quay, and the woman
said they had been married El years, and for more than
seven years her husband had been in the habit of threat-
ening and ill-treating her. They had children, but he did
not lately bring home any of his earnings to support them,
but spent moat In drink. Last week he earned 19s. lid.,
and did not bring home a farthing.—ln answer to • quail-
lion whether she waa afraid of her husband, the wife said
she was not; she had endured his treatment as long that
she was quite worn out, and she wanted • separation.
As to her children, she kept them by work she got from
her neighbours' washing, and such like. She wanted
nothing from her husband--only to be parted from him.
—Defendant croaked out "Enough to torment any man's
life."—ln answer to a question whether he bad anything
to ask bia wife, he said nothing—be had done. He was
apparently the worse for liquor, and the wife said he
earned di. 6d. • day as carpenter; she would not mind if
he went on moderately, but he brought home nothing at
all—Defendant again croaked out something about
" lowance." and the wife said she wanted a divoree.—Hr.
Arden said she must go to a divorce court for that.—
Defendant at this gave a strange grunting laugh, and Mr.
Arden told him he was not in a fit state to appear before
the Bench.—The case was therefore adjourned for •
week.

Harry groodriek der Borst, and John Wilmot,
sailors of the barque Osprey, were brought up for ref using
duty.—John Llewellyn, the master, said the ship belonged
to Swansea, and wee bound from Newcastle to Cape Town,
and the prisoners had signed articles to go in her. On
several occasions, they refused to go to work; they refu.ied
to work in the hold, after being requested to do so. He
afterwards mustered the crew; but they refused to leave
the forecastle. The ship was well found in every respect.
and fit to proceed to sea—One of the men complained that
the captain was in the habit of " flying round in • half-
wild way at times, and talking about using a revolver.
Mr Llewellyn denied that he had such • thing as • firearm
on board. He had been out in the Channel 18 days, and
had no complaint until Saturday night, when the men said
the ship made too much water; but he told them she made
nona—Th• man returned that even the captain took the
wheel that the men might work at the pumps day and
night To this the captain replied that they tried the
pumps every two hours, for satisfaction. Some of the
willing hands were then called, on the other side. —Lewis

legs gars way, and he sank to the ground, with his legs

other recruits to his auiatanc., and tent one for water.
He again changed oolour, this time to a deadly hue, and
witness called the attention of the Sergt-Major„ who im-
mediately sent for the doctor, and ordered deceased to be
removed to the hospital, where he was placed on a bed.

The drill was only such as any person in ordinary health
might do easily. Had drilled them previously that day,
and on other days, from 10 to 11, and from two till three.
Also saw him at seven o'clock in the morning; but they
were only out a few minutes, in consequence of the cold-
ness of the weather. Ile had prevoualy complained of
cold and cough in the morning when he got up.
Sergt Alfred Smith, of the Army Hospital Corps, said
deceased came to the hospital on February 12th, suffering
from chest complaint, and remained to the 21st; he
suffered chieffy from bronchitis, but was discharged cured,
but took medicine some days after. While under treat-
ment he said he had suffered from paralysis, and witness
gathered that he was a man of weak constitution.
Lewis Walton, private, enlisted in London on the same
day as deceased, and they constantly associated. He had
complained of a pain in the chest, and heaviness of breath-
ing, and sometime* be coughed very violently.
Mr. Nathan, medical practitioner, in the absence of the
surgeon attended at the barracks, and was called to see
the deceased about a quarter before three yesterday after-
noon ; but found the soldier lying on the bed, dead. Had
him stripped, and examined the body, but found nothing
more than the dilatations of the pupils. About a fortnight
, before, witness had vaccinated him, and the vaccine
' matter took. Scold suppose from the evidence that the
cause of death was some extravasation of blood on the
brain. No doubt he died from natural causes, either an
affection of the brain or the heart; but he could not tell
positively without a peat mortem examinatiod.
The jury returned a verdict of "Died from natural

AQUARIUM AND WINTER GARDEN.
A scheme has just been submitted to the Town Council
of Weymouth for rroviding one of the greatest attractions
that could be devised for a fashionable watering place.
A compitiov has ritually been formed for the purpose of
establishing an aquarium, winter garden, and skating
rink, and, so far from the matter being entirely dependent
on the raising of capital in Weymouth, we are happy to
And that the pr,:noters fully expect to raise the money
from sources outside, though of course it will advance the
interests of the company if shares be also taken up with
spirit in Weymouth. Mr. T. A. Massy, F.J.S., who is well
acquainted with established aquariums, and Mr. H. B.
Becker, solicitor, of London, attended at the Town Hall,
on Monday morning, and the Mayor by circular called
preliminary meeting of the Council to meet these gentle.
men. The plans submitted were generally approved by the
Town Council; they are very complete, and the finisbel
establishment will be as attractive as any lover of
Weymouth could have hoped. They include • marine and
fresh-water aquarium, and the success ot • similar one at
Brighton and other towns is so well known that the
interests as well as instruction which will be afforded
thereby cannot be doubted; a winter garden to be
furnished with charming dowers, statuary, and fountains,
the very thing required to make Weymouth enjoyable in
winter as at other times; • skating rink, rest aurant, and
reading rooms. The site at present fixed on is on the
Park Batiste, with a main approach from Lennox-street
The proposed capital is to be £30.000, and the promoters
of the scheme estimate that an annual income of £7OOO
may be realised, this estimate being founded on careful
enquiries into the details, and data obtained from authori-
tative unmet, railway companies included. The expenses
would, it is calculated, be under £4,000, and that above
£3,000 annually would be available for dividend, being 10
per cent, on the capital employed, Perhaps one of the
assuring parts of the scheme is that the promoters seem
fully determined to carry it out, even if no part ot the
capital be subscribed in the town, as they are fully
persuaded that they can give a handsome return to their
' shareholders, come from where they may. Of the Town
Council and Weymouthians generally,. they want all
reasonable facilities for carrying out their project, and of
course the enormous advantages to be gained from such an
establishment in our midst are so patent that all will be
delighted to render any auistance in their power. The
scheme, we may say, is of vital importance to Weymouth,
and on its being carried out may depend our fate, whether
we shall always be a struggling town, greatly at the mercy
, of summer visitors, or whether we be firmly established
as • watering place of high class, superior attractions, and
increasing magnitude. The plans are deposited with the
Mayor, and another meeting will be held. It is to be
hoped that, meantime all will consider how they can aid.
The aquarium will soon be • sheer necessity for Weymouth,
in the present advancing attractions of watering places,
and it must be attempted more or less efficiently ; but here
is an opportunity of getting it carried out with proper
magnitude, and in • style worthy an attraction of the first
class.
