FRESHFORD.—Tas COFFIN ROBBIRII2I.—On
Friday afternoon, a public meeting was held in the
Parochial School, Freshford, for the purpose of
giving expression to the feelings of the inhabitants is
reference to the coffin stealing at the parish church.
At the outset of the prooeedinp, it was
that the rector, the Rev. C. B. Rodwer=
take the chair; but the rev, gentleman objected, on
Use ground that the pariah officers had not been con-
sulted, and tihat no notice had been Wined convening
the meeting. Mr. Gee expressed his surprise that
the rector, who granted the use of the room for the
purposes of the meeting, should now object to it.
lie (Mr. Gee) after reading in the newspapers the
remarks of the magistrates on the attitude of the
parish, felt it necessary that they should take some
action, and, after consulting with his friends, they
had called the meeting in order to strengthen the
Asada of the minister and the churchwardens in
Ipreneouting those who had so disgracefully violated
the parish church. The recto & said that ha and the
ohurchwardens promised the there should be a
meeting legally convened for the purpose of con-
sidering the subject. Mr. Gm concluded that if
they had waited for a vestry meeting, it would not
have taken place until next Thursday, which would
have been after the next sitting of the magistrates;
and he should be sorry to postpone so long the ex-
pression of the feeling of the parnh. The rector said
that he was in favour of the meeting proceeding under
protest. Mr. Watts said that the churchwardene ought
to have oommanced an investigation as soon as they
knew that the sacrilege had been committed; instead of
which, they did nothing until they were dragged into it
by the magistrates. Mr. Gardner said as soon as they
found that the vaults had been desecrated, himself and
his brother-churchwarden, Mr. Marsh, together with
the rector, went to the magistrates and told them that
they had opened three vaults and found that two of
, them had ham desecrated, and asked what they were to
do. They were told that a police-officer would be seat
over to investigate the matter. Mr. Watts stated that
the general impression was that S. W. Bythesea. Esq.,
began the investigation. The rector denied it, and
stated that when the reports had gained currency, and
there WWI no longer any doubt about their truth, he
told Mr. Gardner •to inform Mr. Bythesea that the
rector and churchwardens would give every facility
for investigating the matter. After some further son-
venation Mr. Gee was voted to the chair, and the
reetor and ons or two of his friends then tett the room.
The ehairman said they were assembled together in eon.
sequence of the magistrates having reflected on the
parish, for having made no demonstration with referent*
to the desecration of the vaults of the church, and the
object of the meeting was to strengthen the hands of
the parish officers, and further the cause of justice by
sparing no reasonable expense in discovering the
authors of this crime. When they considered the vile-
ness of the desecration, he did think that the feelings
of every one must be deeply moved with indignation,
and with the desire that the churchwardens should
clearly understand that there was no lukewarmuess,
and no indifference, on the part of the parish, but that
its earnest desire was that the matter should be frilly
sifted, towards which they tiers willing to bear a fair
share of the expense. Dr. Fleming moved:—" That
the inhabitants of Freshford have beard with imitate°.
lion of the churchwardens' consent to prosecute the
persons connected with the revolting desserationd their
parish church in 1859; that they request the chunk-
wardens to co-operate vigorously with the authorities;

Stunsion seconded the resolution, which was adopted
unanimously. Other parishioners avowed their sym-
pathy with the object of the meeting, which was ter-
minated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. The

DORCHiSTEootrrY COURT.-Thie Court,
at ita monthly sitting, had a list of fifty-five causes,
the greater portion of which had been settled
out of Court, and the residue were chiefly of the
class denominated "shopkeepers' acoounta;" how-
ever, in the case of Boger& v. Mo?g and Banger, ,
one of the defendants had sent his moiety of the
debt and costa to the plaintiff; but his Honor gave
judgment for the plaintiff for the balance against
both the defendants, with costa upon the amount
orilly sued for.— WAite v. Higgins.- -This was
for .e 2 18s., to which the defendant had set
no a plea of insolvency, but did not appear in support
of ktteS and his Honor acoordingly gave an order
iate'
pnyment.--Deveniali v. Pock.-
for immed
Deletem3,loa, for wine and spirits. The deism:lent
was represested as a daughter of the late Mr. Poole,
an anotioneer, and an order was made for immediate
•. Neertort.-This was an action
for m mem* the demagog being laid at £l5 Bs.
The plaintiff caused some little merriment by
the way in which he answered the questions
put to him • and his Honor, after hearing the
evidence, obeerved that the mama was clearly
stAblishecl, but the question was the amount of
damages to which the plaintiff was entitled, it being
admitted he had remived two blows, but in the
absence of disinterested witnesses or medical testi-
mony; he should award the plaintiff £1 damages,
with costa—Phillips v. Roberta and Hayman-
This was an action for trespass, in which the
damages were laid at £26. The evidence in this cause
wedil to show that Phillips rented a house and garden
at Cense Abbas, of the defendant Roberta; that the
agreement was made about the middle of March,
fOrrthW"taiiincy to commence on the 6th April
follomipgjeat that when that day arrived, the deka.
dant Roberks's father-in-law who lived in the house
was in a dying state and could not be removed, and
that he died oritlse.'hith April, after which the
plaintiff had the ponmemen of the whole, but that he
had been in the empation part of the premises
from about the middle of: March, and that in
October, Roberts caused a distress to be levied on
the goods of Phillips, for and under which part
of his goods had been liold.-Plaintiff, however,
bought to shot his tenancy really commenced let
May instead of 6th April, and that at the time of
the distress no rent was clue.-The evidence was
somewhat conflicting and occupied the Court several
hours, but his Honor said he would read over the
evidence, and give his judgment next court day.-
Several judgment summonses were heard, and the
defendants informed that if the amounts were not
paittrbr to next Court day, they would be coin-

Tin)ilisycaT TO GUT AFR.O.7 Saturday
last, et Parke, from Yitminater, who appears to
be liirmg a vagrant life, was brought before the
Mayor, charged with being drunk and incapable on
the previous night. He was fined ss. and 3e. 6d.
costs, and as he had no money to pay, he was allowed
a week for that purpose, and if not then paid, to be
placed for 6 hours in the stocks. As a matter of
fact, the fellow left the town immediately.
WEYMOUTH.-Licsirsa TRANSIMMIL-The only
business before the borough magistrates on Tuesday,
was the transfer of the license of the Military Arms

WZIFIKWTH TOWN Couscrt.-A. meeting of the
Connell was held on Wednesday, the Bth inst. The
member* present were: the Mayor; Aldermen
Aylingc. Bower, and Deveniah ; Connoillore W.
Thomas, Drew, Hibbs, Beasant, Roberts, Thompson,
Maunders, Lace, and Howard. - Mr. Alderman
Ayling; before the' business of the Council cow-
mend4esired to urge upon the members the desi-
rability or adhering to the Order of Council on the
subjeoiof speaking one at a time, and no member to
speak more than once on a question: They had a
great 441 of business before them, and he was quite
sure they west. get:on with the business a great deal
better-cc-41r. Drew thought they got through their
businessianeommonly well onthe last occasion.-Mr.
Ayling..asid he observed by the Dorset County Ex-
prate that immediately after the order of Council
was read the members relaxed into their accustomed
habit of iiregidarity in not addressing the chair, and
oross:firing.-Mr. Drew thought there would be some
irregalarity in the respect, but upon the whole they
got en very well last time.-The Mayor said
that ;they • had a great deal of business to over-
take, and he was afraid they would have to
hold very frequent meetings, and continue their
sittings very late. He was afraid they would not be
able to do the whole of the work before them that
day.--It was suggested that,weekly meetings should
be held till they had caught up the business to come
before them, and the Mayor said that if it was their
wish, he would call together the Council every week.-
-Business of Council. -Alderman Bower had given
notice of three resolutions.-The first was as to the
confirmation of the minutes of meeting. It had been
often said that first thoughts were best, but he had
lived long enough to know that second thoughts
were beet, and be therefore proposed that the reso-
lutions passed at One meeting should not take effect
until they- were read and signed at a second meet-
ing.-Mr! Devenish and the Town Clerk said that
each mhSti bf taticedwre was opposed to the Act of
Parliament.-Mr. Bower withdrew the resolution.-
His second resolution, be said, would entail addi-
tional 'trouble on the Town Clerk, but that was
of no importance. He proposed that there
should be a balance-sheet of each of the several
trusts of the borough drawn up, and placed upon
the table at every meeting, and that from meeting
to meeting. the 'Rorie of money reoeived and ex-
pended should be added. They would then always
have before them a bird's-eye view of their financial
position.-Mr. Harper seconded the proposition.-
Mr. Devenishapprovadthe scheme, and it was carried
unanimmendy.-The third resolution was to the effect
that the members should have access to all the books
of accent at the Towishall one day in the month.
This brought spa long discussion, and the Treasurer
was sent for. He expressed his willingness to keep
his book,s at the Tonnelrall, and even to poet them
there, provided they found him a room, and said the
reason ,be had not brought the books at the late
meetMge was that he had pot had them for the last
few weeke, and he did not know where they were.-
The rog questioned the truthfulness of the latter
remar -rmit)h , length, as the Mayor had already •
motionon the,baoks, in reference to the protuetiou
of all hrka: of. account at their meetings, Mr.
Bower wlthdrow his resolution.- Bridge Tolls. -
Mr. New proposed that the interest on the bridge
mortg,aues be reduced from five to four per cent.'
but, inconsequence of its appearing there would be
some dilAculty atteuding the alteration, the motion
was withdrawn-Inmedor of .Weitihk and
Meuntres.-Tbe next business was to consider the pro-
priety of appeinging an Inspector of Weights and
Measures endernlie new Act,-70n the proposition of
Mr. Howard, seconded by (Kr. &sank Mr. William
Warr, was reappointed.- Wharfage and Harbour Dna.
-The Mayor said the next businen was to consider the
wharfage end harbour, dues, Pile Pier and Harbour
reports. -His Worship remarked that the report of the
committee, (which was-read at the last meeting), recom-
mended that the Piet Pier tolls should be let by suction.
On considering the matter the council determined to
continue to hold the tolls in their own hands a short
time longer. The Mayor also mentioned that the
committee reeommended that the cost ci eollesting the
tolls, shootl be reduced daring the winter. Mr. Ayling
proposed and Mr. Bower seconded, "That each col-
lector it the Pile Pier shall from next Monday, collect
the tolls alternate week& up to the end of March, 1862,
and receive salary for the time employed.-On the
proporlition of Mr. Bower, seconded lay Mr. Ayling, it
was (*waved, "That the large lighter purchased
of Mr. Croft be advertised for sale forthwith by
tender.-Osptain Roberts was requested to prepare the
advertisement. - Public Improvement. - The Mayor
stated that the next business was to consider what
course should be welted with reference to a piece of
land at the 'bottom of Hill's lane-Mr. Devenish re.
marked that the traffic in Fforsford street, having been
impeded on am:omit of the narrowness of the street, he
had miitbased the house at the coner, which he pro-
pored to pull down in order to widen the street, and
thus &ate a public improvement.-Mr. Howard re-
minded the council that he had repeatedly urged the
importince of their adopting the principle of ' give and
take" in Order to effect public improvements. He con-
sidered that Mr. Reynold's late application on this
principle would have carried out an improvement lathe
to Hibbs oonsidered that the taking" was all
on the; side of Mr. Reynolds and the Council had all to
"give." Mr. Devenish urged that in the present
instant* he"gave* all, and "took" nothiug.-Mr. Drew
observed that it was a peat kindness on the pert of
Kr. Derenish.-The Mayoi remarked that the Council
was satisfied if Mr. Devenish acquiesced-Mr.
Drew proposed, and Mr. Hibbs seconded "That in con-
sideration of Mr. Devenish's giving up, for the purpose
of widening the street known as Hordord street, a house
at the corner of Horsford street, and Hope Square,
valued at £l2O, the Council shall give up all and any
right they may possess in the piece of grew:id now
wailed in at the corner of Horeford street, and Hill's
lane, valued £2O, in favour of Mr. Devenish."-The
Clerk oonsidered it objectionable to make any formal
entry of this matter in the minutes, as the law plainly
enacted that no Corporation property should be given up
without the sanction of the Treasury.-Mr. Drew
observed that the Council had no interest in the property

adjourned till the estimate might be moored. The
Surveyor's specification for the drain was then perused.
After some discussion it was resolved that • Committee
should examine whether the old drain oould be repaired
or whether a new drain was indispensable. —The next
business was to consider the propriety of miking soil
pita near the gas house. Mr. Drew remarked that
in other plies' the scheme of collecting the refuse and
deodorising it realised • considerable sum. A great
benefit would accrue to this town, and by the
same means £lOO sr £4OO a year could be raised so as
to reduce the district rate 3d. or 4d in the E.--Some

plated in the plans.—The next business was to consider

The Britannia, training .hip for cadets at Portsmouth,
Captain Robert Harris, was on Wednesday towed from
her moorings near the entrance of Portsmouth
Harbour, and lashed alongside the dockyard preparatory
to being taken into the ship basin to undergo repairs.
For some weeks past this ship has been getting forward
at her moorings in order that she might be in every way
fitted to remain at Portland, her future destination.
She haa been caulked and her orlop decks rendered
secure from the weather, by fastenings over the lights
on that deck. Every endeavour has been made by the
peephs of Portsmouth to prevent the removal of this
training ship, which is of course a source of considerable
Wait, both directly and indirectly. The Admiralty
have been memorialised, the borough members written
to, private influence used, and all to no purpose, for
the Admiralty, after duly weighing all circumetanses
inducing the removal, and hearing all arguments en-
deavouring to show that Portsmouth is the best place
for her, have some to the final determination to remove
the naval cadet training to Portland, where it is sup-
posed the young gentlemen will he, at least, free from
the alluring influences possessed at the first naval
seaport—influences which have proved in many cases,
we understand, most disastrous. It is, however,
believed thet eventually a naval cadet training college
will be erected on shore in the immediate vicinity of
Portsmouth. She is not expected to arrive in Portland
till the latter end of the month.

THS COSTS ni THB WINDHAM CASs.—A correspon-
dent writes as follows :—lt is, I believe, a fact that the
inquiry into the alleged insanity of Mr. W. F.
Windham costs something like £l6O per hour, or nearly
three guiiiees a minute. Mr. if. Cjiambeni, Mr. Field,
and Mr. Hume Williams are the counsel for the
petitioners General Windham and others. Mr.
Chambers'
,brief is marked 500 guineas, and he has a
" refresher" of 50 guineas each day, and a 10 guinea
consultation fee every evening. Mr. Field's brief is 130
guineas, with a " refresher" of 10 guineas per day; and
Mr. Williams has an equal douceur. Sir H. Cairns is
the " leader " for Mr. 'Windham, and his brief is also
marked at 500 guineas, and his " refresher " is equal to
that of Mr. Chambers. He has a consultation fee of
twenty guineas each evening. Mr. Harslake, Sir Hugh's
first offieer, received £l5O with his brief, and hie
refresher Is twenty guineas a day. Mr. Milward is the
junior on the Windham side, but liis fee is not a very
extensive one. Mr. Coleridge, who appears for Mrs.
Windham, has only thirty guineas marked on his brief,
but his refresher, it is understood, bears • larger pro-
portion to the actual sum on the brief than that of any
of the other legal gentlemen engaged in the ease. Mr.
Charles Russell merely" watches" the inquiry on behalf
of Lady Sophia Giubelei, mother of the alleged
' and of his fees I have no reliable knowledge. The fees
' to the jury amount to 69 guineas per diem—or £3 3s. to
each of the 23 jurymen. The expenses of witnesses are
very great, inasmuch as they have been brought from
all parts of the country—and some wean from Russia,
Spa, Paris, and Switzerland, The average cost of each
witness is £llO.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.—On Tuesday
morning, a lad, named Williams, about fourteen
years of age, by some means fell into the harbour.
He wls rescued as soon as possible, but on being
conveyed home it was feared that life was extinct.
Dr. Samson was however sent for, and that gentle-
man after great and long-continued exertion, sue.
ceeded in restoring animation, and the lad, we are
happy to state, is as well as under the circumstances
as could possibly be expected.
ACCIDENT.—On Saturday, Mr. Hopkins, of
Upwey, lost a young horse, about 5 years old, said
to be worth about £4O. Mr. Hopkins's man was
returning home with two horses and a wagon, from
Wyke, and was proceeding down High-street,
when Mr. Bartlett, of Abbotsbury, met them with
a horse and cart. Mr. Bartlett was driving rather
fast, and the shaft of his cart pierced the breast of
one of Mr. llopkins's horses. The animal was taken
into Mr. Baunton's slaughter house, and died shortly
afterwards. It is really surprising that more
accidents do not occur than really do take place
from reckless driving.
