Oatisa oV rnacti•abit.--John Compton, farmer,
lately residing at New Howie, Farnham, applied
fur bis order of din:Marge, supported by Mr.
Atkinson. There being no oppoiung creditor, his
Honor after making esveral inquiries as to the itema
in tbe bankrupt's schedule, all of which were
eatieflotorily answered, granted the application.

"That the said resolution is vague and indefinite, in-
mmuch a. it does not state, as required by the said Act,
whether the mid Act is to be adopted wholly or in pan
in the said parish, or for the whole or part of the mid
parish,
" That the said parish comprises within it. limits the
Blvough of Blondford Forum, which Borough is not co-
extenrive with the said parish, but Is limited to the
Town mid • small part of the said suburbs of the Town.
"That • Highway Board under the Highway Acts
called the Blandford Highway District, has been formed
according to the provisions of the Highway Act, 1862.
shish comprises, amongst other parishes, the part of
the said parish of Blandford Forum, which is sot in-
eluded in the said Borough of Blandford F,401:11.
" That an order of the said Bard has been made end
served on the overseers of the poor of the said parish of
Blandford Forum, to contribute a certain sum for the
expenses of keeping the highways of the said parieb
(emeluding the raid borough) in repair up to the UM
day of March neat, and towards the misersa of the
District Fund of the mid Highway Board for the same
time.
"That lithe said Local Government Act, 1868, he
adopted for the whole parish of Blandford Forum afore-
said, the owners and ratepayers of all lands within the
sold parish, although listont from the said Town of
Blandford Forum will, in addition to the moms
-
meet for the repair of the highway!, be armed
for alterations and improvements in the said
town and streets of Biondford Forum, which
will not be of the slightest benefit or advantage to
inners and raterayers of the said lands, but, on the
°outran, will largely increase their taxation and
expenditure.
"That the plan sent herewith shows the lands and
parts of the said parish, which for the reasons before
stated ought to be excluded from the operations of the
said Local Goveruroent Act, 1858, which parts are
coloured round with a red line on the said plan.
"Your petitioners therefore appeal against the said
resolution of Vestry."

Three reasons are then givee why the petitioners
urge this appeal :-Ist. Became of the eerie end in.

ressons stated above such parts of the pariiii as are
coloured round with a red mark on the map should not
be included within the bounds of the Local Government
Act. 3rd. That the adoption of the Act abould be de-
layed until after the Dith day of March, 1863 4th. To

Mr. Fireptiob sold that a short tints ago himself and
Mr. Johns, the attoroey for the petitioners, had a con-
sultation together. when Lord Portman was present,
who slated that if those lands were exempt from the
operation of the Act which were without the limits
of the red line marked on the map,—the lands for which
ha and his fellow requidoeiste were milled upon to
bear a share (ender the Highway Act) in keeping the
road, in repair, were excluded from the provisions of
the Load Government Act of 1858, he and they would
withdraw their opposition to the Act being adopted for
the Borough of faandford. As it was undesirable that
any pert of the borough should be omitted in the pro-
posed operations of Local Government Act, a portion
of the parish not formerly in the borough was included
in that part of the map marked in bine. •
The pion, with the proposed alterations, was then
examined by thous present, and after sevairsl questions
had been asked sad satisfactorily answered by Mr.
Johns and Mr. Fincham, the following petition, and
the proposition therms, wee read by the Chairman.
The petition of appeal of the Right Honontble Lord
Portman an-I others, dated the twenty-fourth day
of June, 1863, 'walnut the adoption of the Local Govern-
ment Act, 1858, in the parish of Blandford Forum, and
a plan, acoompanyiiig the said petition (on which plan
is marked • red line, ebowing the portion of the said
parish which the petitioners' wish ti have excluded
from the operation of the said Load Government Act),
hating been considered by this meeting, and Mr. Johaa,
the attorney for the petitioners, hoeing consented to Um
said petition being dismissed on the understanding that
the part of the parish of Blandfovi Forum lying outside
the to.n of Blandford FOTUM, and not coloured on the
said plan, should be recommended by this meeting to
the Secretory of State, to be excluded from the open-
tious of the said Load Governinent Act, 186&"—It was
proposed Ity W. C. Fineham, Dos., 'wooded by F. T.
Johns, Bal., "That the Secretary of State he requested
to sanction the adoption of the Local Goverement Act
lb that part of the wish of Blandford Forum aforesaid
only which is coloured blue on the said before-men.
ironed map, and to exclude the lands lying outside the
town of Blandford Forum eforesaid, and which are not
coloured on the said plait from the operation of the said
Lard Government Act, 1858"
The proposition having been put and carried without
a dissentient voice,
The CHAIIMAN again expressed a doubt if what had
been done was legal, abd any avail.
Mr Jones said that in his opinion it was. They had
at a former meeting agreed to adopt a certain Act,
which they asked the Beeretar7 of State to sanction.
A petition was sent to him against its adoption for the
whole of the perish, and the petitioners agreed that if
certain portions of land they held were exempted from
the operations of the Act, they would withdraw that
opposition. The present meeting was called to see
whether the townspeople would agree to such alteration,
and therefore what they did he considered would be
pertecti right
Mr. Plateaus said if they del not accept the boundary
as now marked they would have to go bask to their
former resolution, and then the Secretary of State
would send an inspector down to inquire into the

matter.
The CHAlati ta inquired whether by excluding a part
of the parish from the munieipal boundaries the roads
would not be put under the tlighway Board? To which
It was replied that those rustle were now placed under
the Shaftesbury district.
Mr. GREILN : There are no parochial roads inside the
booed's), as now marked on the map.
Mr. C. MEXTILLit inquired of Ur. Johns, if, by
adopting the proposed boundary, they should be exempt
from a visit by -an inspector. Perhaps, after all, the
Secretary of State would send an inspirer, and Will•
tional expense would be incurred.
We JOllati replied, that though he raid not my
positively that he would not, yet he had Lord Postman's
opinion to go upon, and that was, that the Secretary of
State would not send down an inspector if all opposition
to the Local Government Act was withdrawn.
This concluded the brines' for which the meeting
was celled.
Ur. Jones called the attention of those present
to the necessity of jai& liars being placed, so
that peronista might know the way to the station, and
it was suggested that omnibuses, gip, ha. should pro-
seed down Fast-street and by Dansory-lane to the station,
and return the other way the town. Reference was
also made to the dangerous nature of an iron railing
erred at the corner of 11r Sharp's yard, and we under.
stand that two or three gentlemen were requested to w. it
on him to solicit it. removaLpending the time when the
Local Government Act having come into operation, an
arrangement could be come to, for raking him some
compensation for the ground.
