We believe the B.iutb Wilts are engaged in a

We trust they will prove riot°, ione
FILUST Wthre Hires BAND.— Phi. band will in
future play in the Marketplace and Closealternately.
Thu performance at the archery fete, at Ferns
House, on 'lburalay last, was much praised, par-
ticularly by Sir John i'ennefather, commander of
the troupe at Aldershot. Sergeant Farraut having
resigned the office of honorary secretary, &taiga
Finch has cunseuted to act, and under his manage-
ment we trust the band will long continue to
prosper. Mr. Aylward, the worthy bandmaster
to the corps, seems all that could be wished for, and
as practice makes perfect, it is possible the band
will ere lung arrive at still greater perfection.

for wrongful dismissal and malicious prosecution.
Mr. Kerslake, Q C., and Mr. Read were counsel fur
U e plaiiitill ; attorney, Mr. Bertram, Bath ; Mr.
Ms Smith, Q C., Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr
Kingdue appeared for the defendant attorneys,
Messrs. Slack and Simmons, Bath. —Mr. Read
baring opened the pleadings, Mr. Kiuslake pro-
ceeded to stale the case on behalf of the plaintiff,
whn, he said, was a gamekeeper in lb* worioe of •
clergyman living near Wineanton. Mr. Lopes, the
defeudent, was a gentleman, well known not only in
that cemity kit in Wilt*lore. Ile sae called to
the her. end practiced for sonic years a ith consider-
able aue:o.s on the Western Circuit. On giving
up practice, he went to reside at Sandridge Park.
Dear Idellishain. Ile took coneiderable interest to
the magisterial affairs of the county, and was chair-
man of the Melkshasu Bench. In the year 1861 he
employed the plaintiff es his gamekeeper, but in Heel
he dismissed him without notice, and afterwards
instigated a number of criminal proceedings against
him. The whole of these terminated in Smart's
ravour. ; and it was to recover damages for the in.
• juries be sustained that he now sought satisfaction
at the bandsof • jury, Ilecontended that there was
no excuse for Mr. Lopes, who, both es a barrister
. and a magistrate, was supposed to have such •
knowledge of law as to prevent him from Institut-
log criminal proceedings against • man, when there
was no probability of subetantiating tbe charges
made. The comptainaut was then examined at great
length, and subjected to a searching eriweeexamina.
I tion, and after several other teatime* had been
examined, Mr. Montagu Smith addressed the jury
for the defence, contending that Mr. lermes was
justified in all that be had dune, the plaintiff haviog
obtained his situation by the grossest fraud and
misrepresentation. A. to the prosecutions which
Mr. Limn instituted against the ploutiff, he con-
tended that there we, " reasonable and probable
cause" in each case, and that at least one of the
charges would have fallen through but for •
technical objection put forward by Smart's inciter.
The learned c..unsel then called Mr. Lopes, who
detailed the whole circumstances attending his
engagement with the compladnanteind his subsequent
conduct, and also called several witnesses te prove
that the complainset had been brought before the
magistrates on various charges, and that
such charges were both reasonable and pro-
liable, and showed no malice on his part.
Mr. M. Smith then summed up the evidence, com-
menting on the misrepresentations made by the
defendant, contending that has client hail a just right
to. prosecute a man elm had been guilt, of so irse
a fraud. After which Mr. Kerslake made a lung
and able speech on behalf of the plaintiff, and
described Mr. Lopes'e proceeding's, most extra-
ordinary, and his putting the plaintiff to tin
annoyance of appearing as • prisoner at the Sessions
and Assizes as a proof that he tented not have been
'situated solely by a desire to promote public justice.
His Lordship summed up in a clear and impartial
manner, after which the jury retired, and were I
absent from Court nearly an hour. On their return
it, foreman said they found for the defendant on
twooeunta, and on the rest in favour of the plaintiff, I
with .00 damages. They found that there was good '
and sufficient reason for the dismissal of the ,
plaintiff ; that there wean° good and aufficientground
for charging him with pawning the gun; that
there was no good and sufficient ground for charging
him with obtaining shot under false pretence.;
that there was geed and !sufficient reason for I
charging him with stealing two rabbits ; that there
was no good and 'efficient ground for bonging a .
charge of f irgery ; and that the defendant's motisee
were audacities in the three case* in which they
found against Min. —His I. ircliship said, from the
finding of the jury, he believed there would be an
end of the case. --The Foreman of &Meetly was about
to make some observations, but his Ledship mid
unless the jury thought them very important, he had
not better do so. They might only tend to com-
plicate the caw.- -The Foreman acted open his
Lordship's suggestion, and the jury were discharged.
