The ant business as the noties pager was to restive
tenders to the advertisement leaned for hawing the
roads in repair, and for • foreman of works, to decide
what shall he done thereon.
There were no leas Man Mama applisations for the
meant foreman of works' berth, and nine contracts for
keeping the roads is repair. The salaries varied from
£52 to £B5 • year : and the contrasts ranged from £349
per annum to IMO.
Mr. A. Bernell thought the lowest eouteset was quite
high enough.
In answer to • question by Mr. W. Gibbs,
The flak mid the Board might diseharge any of It.
officers.
Mr. B. Petro, impaired whether nadir the Sanitary
Act they were bound to have a surveyor.
The Clerk: Yon ire bound to have some person
whom you sell a surveyor.
ILL Pearce again asked if they let the contract to any
ma would it be necessary to have • surveyor or foreman
of works?
The Clerk said it would not be absolutely neomeary
to have a surveyor; but the general rule warn to have an
officer between the Board and the contractor, to see
that the work was properly carried out.
Some ownersation ensued relative to what reeds the
oontrutor might think were dedicated to the public or
not. and the consequent difficulties that would
between the Board and the contractor.
Mr. K. Pearne thought the beat plan would be to ap-
point • foreman of wcs, and hit lie work by coat:sot
when it was mammy to be done.
Mr. B. Comben was of the same opinion. He thought
if the whole was let by contract not only would there
be a great deal of trouble to the Board, but • great deal
of work for the lawyers.
The Chairman adopted the same opiate. If people
could keep the roads in repair for • las sum than that
contracted for, why should they throw away the public
money? They wen not so very Bush in finance% and
if they had • surveyor they would have him under their
direction, and they would be able to take him off work
when necessary.
Mr. B. Pearce proposed that • foreman of works or
surveyor be elected.
Mr. A. Banyan seconded the motion.
Mr. R. Pearce proposed as an amendment that no
surveyor be appointed, but that the roads be let by
contract. . . .

The amendment meeting with no meander, warn with-
drawn.

Messrs. H. White, Benjamin Pearce, George Roberta,
W. Coombe, J. Pearce, Norman and A. Gale, were
nominated. Meson. W. White, Benjamin Pewee,
George Roberts, and Norman went oat at the first
voting. Second voting Mr. Pearce obtained 10 votes,
two-thirds of the whole board. He was therefore
sleeted at a salary of 02 • year.
The Chairman said the next basilicas was to decide
wbether the work should be let out to be done by
contract, or whether it should be done by the board.
Mr. J. Hodder proposed that the repairs of the roads
should be done by contract, and that Kr. White's being
the lowest contract, should be accepted.
Mr. E. horse seconded the motion.
Mr. R. Lion moved as an amendment, that the
repairs of the roods for the next twelve months be
done by the board, and that none of the present
oontracts be seeeptai
The amendment was carried.

what stops should be taken in mord to eertain monies

The &boded outs were :-
John Baker.. Rer. 0.. J. Glyn.-Tbe plaintiff is this
oath was formerly seboolmaster at Sthebridge, in the
servies of the rev. defeedant, who, en a•011Oat of some
unpleamostnees arising Is the village, gave him • regular
nodes to give up hie situation, and at the last court day
jedgmeat we. gloss spinet him on another plaint for
ealitcleader's . He now claimed co three par-
Medan the sum o E 4 7,., namely, el for managing a
eight school from October, 1862, to March. 1863 XI 2e.
as parish clerk's burial fee at the intermeat of the late
Sir R. Glyn, and el 2.. expeoses attending before the
Archdeacon's court at Blandford, when arreethrhant
was made for him to give up his appointment u parish
clerk of Stantoridge-Plaintiff dated that for eight years
he
had received the school penes of those children who
ohne to the night schooL Hie agreement with Kr.
Glyn was either to have the pence orb, paid at n fixed
salary of .1/2.-In reply to the judge he said that he
wrote • letter to Mr. Glyn agreeing to conduit the school
on those terms ; but as he mold not produce any written
agreement, or copy of the letter, his Honour told him
he must rely upon • verbal one. Plaintiff then said that
for eight years be received the !school fees, which were
lid. per week from each scholar, and at the
end of that time Mr. Glyn demanded the school fee*,
and agreed to payltdm e 2 instead. He gave up the fees in
1862, and from that time to 1866 had 4ot received any
fees, or made any demand for them. -His Honour:
Then you worked for four years, wording
to your amount, without payment. Plaintiff" Yes.
I thought that Mr. Glyn, like other gentlemen, would
have mid me without ley troubling hins.-Croas-
examined by Mr. Glyn Did you not take the night
school on the understanding that yoo were to receive
the pence of the etuldren U payment for your
services'-Plaintiff: "Either that or e" Did you
not, the same as two others in my employ, give
the ifees pad for the evening school as a voluntary sub-
scription to the Bible Society"-Plaintiff :"You made me
give them up."-Mr. Glyn said he denied in tato the
statement of the plainno that any agreement was nude
between them. For several years Below had the charge
of the night school, and received the children's pence,
and during the lest three or four years he had mho.
tarty given up daces (sensed added them with his own
subscription to the Bible Soddy. Mr. Glyn here pro-
duced several years' remits of the Bible Society, ond
read under the heed " lithabeidgee Baker's norm me eon-
tributiog the fees remind for the night school,-His
Hamar said the only question was whether any agree-
ment had been made for the plaintiff to have £2 instead
of the children', penes. He had produced no proof
that nig was them,,, and it was monstrone on the
part of the plaintiff to deny that he voluntarily gave up
his fees to a charitable institution, when it appeared
year after year in the reports to such effect. The ems
was one of those unfortunate suits, in which a plaintiff.
having been previously defeated, gives way to temper, '
and withoot consulting any one kings an action bads, i
no
proof in his favour. The verdict would be for the I
defendant, and the plaintiff mud pay ill expenses. He
never heard of nab a disgraoeful eass.-Ttie rev, de-
fendant having reminded the COlll t that there were two
other charges against him, the second item, that of 1
el Se. as parish .lark's fees for the interment of the I
late Sir R. Glyn, was gorse into. - Mr. Glyn said his
defence was that he was not liable. The arrangements
for the funeral were einifided to Mr. Morgan, el With.
borne, the undertaker, with whom be bad settled.-His
Homer: I sever heard of suds thin as a sleek snips
• clergymen for the burial fees-Nonsuited.-The 1
neat item, for attending the archdeacon's meeting, was
soon disposed of, Mr. Glyn (calling Mr. Atkinson, who
Mated that he was employed by Baker to make an
arrangement respecting his relicquishing the derkshipof
Standbridp church. Mr. Dickinson, of Pool*, offered,
on the part of Mr. Tether, the churchwarden, the sum
of CA Raker thought that mu not enough, and ulti-
outlay it was 'greed to give him KO. This he (Mr.
Atkinson) considered a very fair offer, and on the plain-
tiff'm behalf consented. Baker was present and made no
objection, • cheque was drawn for the aroma; and
Baker took it to the bank, and on his return paid his
(Hr. Atkinson's) fee and put the remainder in his
pecket.-His Honour immediately gave a verdict for the
defendant, at the same time very severely censuring the
plaintiff for him conduct.
Francis Thorne v. William Sherwool.-Claim 4a, 6cl.
Plaintiff said that he and the defendant did some
labouring work for Mr. Rawlins 12 month's ago, and
that in oensequ once of Mr. Peleliu not having sufficient
change be paid defendant money for two days work
which plaintiff did. The Info of plaintiff, who was
celled on his behalf, stated that in her presence defendant
admitted the debt, and promised to pay as soon as be
eould.-This defendant denied, and deo that he received
any money for Thorne from Mr. Rawlins-Verdict for
the anicuut claimed forthwith.
King v. Witcher.-Claim £212.. for an iron *rank
and block to a thrashing maohine.-Plaintiff said that
be had the machine to repair, and found it neasseary to
supply the above articles. Defendant's man fetched the
machine away. The work was done in 1863. Defendant
was then acting as trustee for the farm, which formdy
was occupied by his father. The defense was that the
work was done forth, trustees of the estate, and that
the order mu given on their behalf, end not for I
defendant personally. It appearing, however, that from
first to last the transaction was made by the defendant
without his specifying that it was by him as trustee, and
that the bill was made out in defendant's name, his
Honour gave a verdict for the plaintiff.
Hayter v. Rev. G. H. Marriott. - Claim ET 6s. for
half year's rant of house and shop situate in the High.
street, Winthorne.-Plaintiff stated that he let the
house on the 15th September, 1865, to the defendant at
• yearly rental of £l5 to be paid quarterly. The rent
eccomessoed from that day, and on the 29th December
he received the first payment for nos quarter and two
weeks, and the neat on 4th April, for the rent due
25th March. The Miss Webb. occupied the boner, but
left about 30th January, 1866. His agreemect with Mr.
Marriott was 10 let the hones at one year martin, and
one quarters notice.-His Honour : A yearly tenancy
requires sir months' notice. He gave you a quarters
seder, and you claim on side mooth's wilco or a yearly
in in& It all depends ors which of them two was
upon.- Plaintiff produced his remeipt for rent palrt
to March, 1886, and stated that be received instruct‘ens
hem Ilir. Laing to put • notice bill in the window of the
home, to sublet it for the rev, defendant, and according
to those instructions he acted. The heath was us-
occupied for some time but was now let -In arose-
examination by Mr. Marriott, plaintiff said that he did
not remember that gentleman saying anything about a
agreement. The defendant came to hisi house,
and the agreement wee made at once to take the house at
£15.-Mr. Laing stated that he received& letter front Mr.
Marriott making him to go to Mr. Hayter to tell him to
put a notice bill in the windows to let the house. He
did ao, and beard nothing more of the matter till he
heard there was a dispute about the two quarter's rent.
He believed it was on the 27th of January he resolved
Mr. Marriott's noth and called the same day on the
plaintiff, who put the notice in the window.-In
defence, Mr. Marriott said that when he called upon
Mr. Huber about the house he told him he wished to
have • amnia agreement, as the ladies on whom
alsomat he took the house might not be able to remain
there. The terms agreed upon were not, as stated by
the plaintiff, to rent the house for a twelvemonth
certain but for him to give up poeseesion at anTatlizen
by giving a three month's notion. After the
Webb left he pent • letter, in April, to Kr. Laing, to
have a notice bill put in the window to let the house,
as he wanted to get the bowie off his haack-In reply
to the judire, plaintiff said that the Misses Webb were
Pot in the house more than four menthe-His Honour
Then the first
_year's tenancy was not expired.-
Plaintiff: No.-itis Honour inquired of Mr. Marriott
what were the enact words he used when be took the
homes, to which be replied, " I (maid that I did not
know how long I ebonW want the house, but I would
take it at £l5 per thane-Hie Honour : That looks
Ilk. • yearly With, if you had said I will take it at so
mash per quarter it would have been another thing. -
The evidence, said the judge, is very mediating, and
therefore it would be emissary to consider the
probabilities of the eme. Was it at all likely that •
person would let • hones and shop in such a town as
Wimborne on the eonditione mentioned by the defend.
ant for in that OW • truant might leave even before
the first three months were up, and the landlord would
gee no rent. He therefore considered that whatever
were the inteetioes of the defendant it was a yearly
letting, and the landlord was entitled to ade month's
notice, and earth notice must expire at a &ands period.
- Verdict for plaintiff, with sets.
W. Rh:show v. Adants.-Clebn 144.,0f which 91. had
been paid into court. This was • claim for belathe of
amount alleged by the plaintiff to be doe on some
potatoes sold to the defendant. It appeared that two
afferent lots were delivered, each of forts begs ;
that the first lot was a good sample, but that the latter
helm grown on inferior ground, were not near so good.
Rio Meath gave a verdict for the amount only that had
been paid into court.
Lem /restore tr. Klag.--'Fbie wee a claim of lia. kr
amend:r as yat Illa per week. Defendant said be
was airier to the plaintiff at 10e, per week.
He worked three days, when the defendant put him to
some b,dglng. Defendant dated that he hired Freeborn
as a regular labourer to do any kind of work, and that
he refused to do that skids he ordered him to do. •
verdict we. given for the defendant, hie 110110 Or telling
plaintiff be had no ems, as he left his master's Writ* in
the middle of the week.
BAILROPTOT.-In Bs Henry HAL-This bankrupt,
who formerly canted on the business of grocer:baker,
Ac., at Little tondos, in the perish of Hamprestea,
came op for his final ethminatioo,and was entherted by
Mr. Tanner, who stated that the prineissdror, Mr.
Browses, of Wimboree, was favourably towards
him. -His emberramossets arose from giving credit to a
large number of poor people, end not from any fault of
hie own. In this statement Mr. Browee coincided, and
saki be believed the bankrupt to be thoroughly honest.
His liabilities amounted to £164 12e., sod his earths to
about e 76. There was a policy &Hooked on the
backrupt's life for £1.50, which the judge said it wee •
pity should be lost, lied Mr. Browne mid for his own
part he should be very pleated to let the bankrupt have
It again. His Honour said that such an arrangement
