THE Wincanton Highway Board have re-elected Mr.

as vice-chairman.
THE Perry SEPSIONS were hell here on Monday last,

A rather curious decision was that in the rase of
Thome' Ashford. toll-keeper, at the Horsingtotegate. He
was suinmonsed by Mr. Fry for having illegally charged
44d. toll upon the driver of a horse and waggon with
artificial manure. The magistrates, having consulted the
authorities, said it wee clear complainant was in the right;
be was not liable if the manure was going to a particular
lane, an-I the exemption from toll was intended as •
benefit to encourage the manuring of land; but in future
complainant would have to supply defendant, or any other
toll-keeper with whom his man had to deal, with • note
to say where the mantue was going, as the law did not
provide that it could be transferred a, merchandise and
the exemption still claimed.—The complainant said cer-
tainly he should not tell where his manures were going
from nine to time—The Bench said after his efrision
they should condetnn him in code if be were to come
before them again—The toll-keeper watt ordered to pay
3,1, id costs and to return the 14.1.
Geogc Butt, an apprentice to Charles Knight, a ,hoe'
maker, of Wincanton, seems to be a bad boy. He not
only stays away from work, but, when told to do • thing
one way, obetinately does it just the other—at least so

Two lads, Robert II annam and Samnel Stacey, who
having been locked out of their own homes, preferred Mr.

Beer and Hockey don't agree, at least, it would seem so,
for Mr. Beer, of Templecombe, summoned Mr. Hockey, •
dealer of Ilenetzidee, for being drank and quarrelsome,
and refusing to quit his premirea. Whether truth lies
in the Beer, or in the Hockey, we can't say, for the game
did not come off, thesease being adjourned at the request
of the defendant.
A shocking case was that of A Vred Gall (feed, of Sheldon
Maned, who was summoned by the Surveyor (Mr,
Att well) for driving a steam engine on the highway called
" Patwell," at Bruton, on the 22nd of March, with the
