and like the snowball, gathers as it rolls, soon swelled
itself into a larger number, with not • few of the elder

mises, it is apparent that the burglar Snit tried to effect
entranoe through a small window in the lady chapel
which looks net upon the yard, but was prevented by its
being securely barred. He then tore away a large part
of the lead and glass belonging to • gide window of the
church, through which be pried his body. He had
secured • light, and made his way through the sacristy
into the priest's dwelling, where he broke open the
priest's desk and sideboard, in each of which was sums
of money. Money was his only object, for several very
valuable pieces of plate belonging to the church were in
the same room, but neither of them were touched. He
also broke open the boxes containing the offering+, end
emptied them of their contents. Having effected his
nefarious purpose, he boldly
let himself out through the
church door, leaving the candle burning. The
police are on the alert, so we hope to hear of his
speedy capture.

RUSHTON —Cunt Faau.—On Saturday week the
labourers and others employed during the harvest on
the farm of Yr. John Ford were moat hospitably enter-
tained by that gentleman Harvest-home entertain-
ments, unfortunately, may almost be regarded as 'emits
of bygone tunes. Why ouch should be the cue
we know not, as we are fully persuaded that such
fraternal meetings greatly tend to draw closer toter-her
those bends of good-will which should ever exist
between employer and employed. On the present om
anion an abundance of the good thing, of this life, con-
sisting of roast and boiled of all descriptions, plum
puddings, with good beer and cider ail filmanss, were
provided. About 2 u'el.ck forty-six sat does at the
festive board, presided over by Yr. Ford,
whose health was most enthtudasiieally reeeived.
After diaper dancing and other amusements were kept
up with good spirit, the music being supplied by some
of the guests. We need hardly say that all most
heartily enjoyed themselves, and a very pleasant after-
noon and evening were spent.
BLANDFORD.—On Monday the list of rate-
payers entitled to vote for the election of Town
Councilmen was affixed to the gates of the Town-
hall. Oat comparing this hat with that issued last
year, we were surprised to notioe the omission of
shout 30 name*, and on inquiry wee informed that
the reason was because their poor rates were com-
pounded. We may be wrong, but we always under-
stood that when the Compound HouseboldersAct was
pealed, municipal privileges were not to be affected
by it. Why these names should have been allowed
to be affixed for three or four years, and the parties
permitted to vote, if they had no right, we cannot
understand. But perhaps the most strange part of
the business is, that their names should be struck
out at a time when no poor-rates are compounded
for.

Kale, who said he was carter to Mr. Dennett. The
day the lad left he ordered him to go to plough

Rertwer. -Charles Carter, Junes Hill, Junes
Short, John Arnold, George Squibb, and Robert
Blanchard were charged with trespassing and
injoring the embankments of the Somerset and
Dorset Railway, on the 9th August.—Mr. Atkinson
said he was instructed by Mr. Davis, the contrac-
tor, to appear against the defendants. Not only
was considerable damage done to the embankments
by boys trespassing on them, but se the railway was
now ready for traffic, it was absolutely necessary to
put a stop to each proceedings, for if this practice
was continued most likely some serious accident
would occur. —The Bench, after seriously maiming
the lads as to their future conduct, fined them 2a. 4d.
and costs 2.. Sd. each, (Ss.), to be paid forthwith,
or 14 days' imprisonment.

in question be wee digging up some potatoes
on • piece of ground he had rented of the
defendant. While so employed, Mr. Behar
came and ordered him off the ground, and shook his
stick over him, at the same time placing his foot on
his to prevent him taking ap any more potatoes.
He had been in Mr. Baker's union as carter, end
received 9s. per week, la. for journeys, wheat at 55.
per bushel, and a cottage, and piece of potato ground
for which he paid rent —Mr. Baker said as he bad
not paid his rent be should not have the potatoes.—
Mr. Atkinson submitted that as this was a question
of title it was beyosid the jurisdiction of the Bench.
Toe prosecutor had no right to the potatoes, inso-
much as he had left his master's service, and had not
paid his rent. —The Bench were of opinion that the
question of title had nothing whatever to do with the
charge of assault.—Richard Brown corroborated
prosecutor's statement as to Mr. Baker bolding •
stick nver him in a menacing manner, and ordering
him off the ground. —Mr. Baker, in answer to the
charge, stated that the prosecutor had been in his
employ as carter. In oonsequeoce of his refuel to
put some s.raw on a rick, he offered him his weekly
wages, 95., and told him if he would not obey his
orders, he must leave. On the morning in question
be saw him digging up some potatoes on the piece
of land he rented of him. Be told him be had iso
right to them as he had not paid the rent, and that
they were MA fit to dig, and placed his foot to stop
him from taking any more. The prosecutor swore,
and said he would have them. Did not hold any
stick over him. The one he bad in his hand wee •
very =all ose. —The Bench said that they were
fully persuaded the defendant had turned the pro-
secutor sway, and that an assault bad been coin.
witted, and fined the defendant 7s, and mete 134,
at the same lime cautioning the prosecutor not to go

and told some of his men to follow him. The
prisoners were then making their way to a plantation '
belonging to Sir William Marriott, called Longtops.
Witness rode into Sir William's park, accompanied
by Dr. Daniels who had joined in the pursuit. They
ran into the wood, which his men surrounded, and
he succeeded in capturing the elder one. The younger
one got up into • tree, but he was afterwards taken,
and witness brought them both into the town, and
gave them into custody. The elder prisoner had
the same dress on when taken as now.—W.
Jun., Esq., M.D., stated that about one o'clock on

elder prisoner was taken be said to him—" This is a
bad way to get money ;" to which be replied—" I
only stood in the road in front of her.' The elder
peirioner when asked if he bad anything to say
in answer to the charge, merely shook his head.

road he was under • hedge. He did not wish to
may anything to the young woman. Was corning
into Woodford lifter some money, 24. fid., that was

Tux File.—At our annual September fair held
on Wednesday, the 9th Mat, there was a large
attendance of dealers of this and the adjoining
counties. The show of sheep and lambs wlis rather
below former years—about 6,000 being penned.—
Trade waa dull, the high prior asked preventing
many from purchasing who attended for that par.
poss.—Ewes fetched from 40s. to 45a, and lambs
from 255. to Me. Most of those which changed
hands were disposed of early in the day. A pen of
four rams belonging to J. .1. Farquharson, Esq.,
were much admired. A very midi show of cows
and horses. Milch cows fetched about £l5 each,
and barreners from £lO to .fl 2. Very little doing
in horses, and prices low. Very few pigs brought
for aide. Good store animals from 14e. to IS.. The
routine of business was considerably enlivened by the
attendance of two or three individuals displaying
on their persona jewelry of questionable worth, who,
eschewing the hard bargaining going on between
sellers and dealers in stork, very kindly and con-
siderately remitted • portion of the purchase money
to those who were the first dealers in those articles
which cost them next to nothing, in the shape of
tinselled watcbsguards, breast-pins, brooches, he. No
doubt they exacted a sufficient sum from others to
cover all the expenses of their liberality. At the

SOMERSET AND DORSET RAILWAY.
On Monday the 7th inst., the official inspection of
this line was made by the Government Inspector,
Captain Rich. The various officers of the company
took up their appointed stations in the morning,
and it was expected that the inspector would arrive
about 3 o'clock. In osusequenos, however, of the
many bridges be bad to examine, it was after four
o'clock before the train arrived at the Blandford
station. A goodly number of persons were present,
and several of the shareholders residing in the town
met together on the platform of the station. The
train was driven by two of England's improved
engiosa, and oonaistod of three trucks heavily laden
with iron, and Arst and second clue carriages. All
of die bridges were, therefor*, put to a very severe
test, which they sustained in the most satisfactory
manner, showing that though the omit/actors have
taken fell time to complete the work, what they
have doss has been done well. The new bridge
over the Stour was subjected to a very minute and
careful trial, the train running over it at full speed
backwards and forwards several times. As
soon as the inspection was over, Captain Rich and a
few of the officials dined together at the Crown
Hotel. We have it on good authority that the re-
sult of the inspection has been very istishohlry, and
that the line will be opened for traffic on Thursday
