3 80n.,6 II PETTY SESSIONS' Monday, June 2.
Before 11. Davis, and J. F. Bodges, Esqrs. —Leah
Damon Vtas brought rp in custody on the charge of
sterling a gown piece and a handkerchief, the
property of Mr. Steele. She had during the day been
obser% ed to conceal a gown pieeo belonging to Mr.
Steele, and it was taken from her, and she Wag
forgiven. Subsequently she was apprehended on the
charge of stealing some pork from Mr. Misty, when
the prorerty :in question was found. There were
four or five other charges against the prisoner. who
was remanded for further evidenee.--LousiaJolliffe
Pleaded guilty of assaulting Julia Lockyer. While
the two women were living next door neighbours
they agreed remarkably well, but when one
of them removed farther off, each got fresh
companions, and spoke of each other in not
v3ry complimentary terms—Defendant expressed
her contrition at not having kept her hands to herself
and the Bench fined her in the mitigated penalty of
is., including COSI& ----The same defendant was also
summoned for assaulting Louisa Bonier. From the
evidence it appeared that on the day the Militia
were paid off, both plaintiff and defendant paid very
fervent devotion at the shrine if John Barleycorn,
and to use the language of the Bench, "conducted
themselves in a disgraceful manner." As they both
seemed to have been equally in fault, the case was
dismissed.
Co UN TY PETTY SESSIONS, Saturday.— Before
Major-General Michel, G. Troyte Bullock, Esq , and
Captain Kindersley.
CATTISTOCK.—WIIiiaITI Eades was summoned by
Superintendent Ceder wood 014 the charge of'' torture
ing a cei Lila animal, called a horse," on the 12th May
last. The case was adjourned from the last Court.
P.C. Florance said he saw the defendant driving the
horse up a hill, and perceiving the horse was working
in great pain, he examined it., and found a large sore
under the collar. It had been blackened over with
lampblack. Defendant said it was quite well when
he left home in the morning. Florance said be
knew the horse had had a sore a long time. Defen-
dant said such was the case, and the horse had been
kept idle a month, but the sore was healed over
that morning. The constable said it was wrong for
defendent to say the horse had not been worked for
a month, as be saw it in the Oak stable, at Dorchester,
on the 6th May. The Bench fined defendant £l,
including costa.
MAIDEN NEWTON. —Thomas Shorts, baker, was
charged with having a beam and scales in his bake-
house defective by three quarters of an ounce. Super-
intendent Underwood said he visited defendant's
bakehouse on Friday, the 22nd May, and found the
scales in question. Defendent asked him not to
mention anything about it, and witness told him
that as he had cautioned him about the same thing
in March last ho would summon him. Defendant
said there was a bit chipped off the scale in which
the weights were placed.—Fiued lis., including
costs.

SWYRE —Henry Northover was summoned by
Superintendent Underwood with drunkenness on
the 23rd May. P.C. Hill said he found. the defen:
_

dant lying across the foothpath "dead drunk" and
asleep. He awoke him, and defsudant swore A him
and was very abusive, threatening to strike him.
Defendant said be only had a drop of cider, as was
customary when fishing, and he could not have been
so terribly drunk. He had got within 50 yards of
his own h num—Fined ss.

RAM PISHAM. —Thomas Swatridgo was summoned
for drunkenness on the 19th May. The case was
proved by P.C. Florence, who while on duty at
12 o'clock at night, found defendant outside the
Tiger's Head, asleep. He awoke him and found him
very drunk. He lifted him up, and defendant struck
and kicked him. —ln his defence defendant said he
had only a pint of cider, and therefore could not have
been so bad as had been described. Fined ss. and
71. costs. John Strong was summoned with
driving furiously in the parish of Charminster, on
the 19th May, and endangering the lives and
limbs of the passengers on the turnpike road. He
was also charged with being drunk at the time.
The constable said he saw the defendant on the flay
in question. He was sitting in the cart with his hat
ofl, and driving at a gallop. But that notwithstan-
ding he was galloping the horse, he continued to beat
the animal.—Defendant mid he was not so drunk
but he did his work very well, and "never met with
no misfortune." As for the horse galloping, it
would'nt gallop nor even canter. Why he drove the
policeman home one day, and he didn't then go half
fast enough to please him. He then said defendant
would never get fined for driving that horse too fast.
Why, he wouldn't go above five miles an hour.
—Fined ss. and costs for being drunk, and 10s.
including costs, for furious driving. Defendant said
it was more than he had earned for the last "wont."

PIDDLETOWN. Jeremiah Riggs was sum-
moned by John Homer Saunders with having left
his service contrary to the agreement existing be-
tween them.—Mr. Symonds appeared for Mr.
Saunders, and Mr. Weston for the defendant. —Mr.
Saunders said that defendant was his servant, and
hal worked for him for a considerable time past.
Ahout the latter end of January last, in consequence
of what his bailiff told him, he spoke to defendant,
and received an insolent reply. He told him he
should not speak to him in that manner if he did to
his bailiff, and that if he could not behave better
he should leave on Saturday night. When &fun.
dant came to be paid on Saturday, he expressed
great contrition for having spoken as he did, asked
for forgiveness, and expressed a hope that he, Mr.
Saunders, would keep him on. He told him that
he did not want him particularly, and he might go,
hut if he remained it should be with an agreement
that he should remain with him till after harvest.
Defendant said he would do so, and an agreement
between them to that effect was accordingly
made, and defendant continued his work. The pay
day was ti'riday, May 2nd. On the 6th May defen-
dant asked him for an increase of wages.—Com-
plainant said he had an agreement with him and be
should not alter it. Defendant then told him unless
he raised his wages a shilling a week, he should
leave him that day week. On the following Tuesday
(the 13th May) defendant came to him and offered
to forego the extra shilling, if complainant would give
him a little firing, but he said he should enter
into no fresh agreements. Defendant then went
away and he had not been to his work since. —Cross
examined: He gave the defendant 9s. a week, and
his agreement with his best labourers, hiring by the
year, was that they should have 9s. a week and El at I
harvest. —Complainant would not speak positively
whether, when the agreement was entered into at
the latter end of January, that any mention was
made as to the amount of wages. 9s. was the price he
Ilona had paid. Defendant asked him on the Ist of
May, to give him some thatch, the same as other
men.—Complainant said he darnt know he could
make thatch. Defendant replied : "I have made
thatch for you before." Defendant complained
that the other men had easier work than himself,
and. were able to earn more money.
Would not undertake to say that on the 6th
May he didn't say, "1 intended to put you on
making thatch to-morrow." The first thing witness
said to defendant on the 13th May, was, "This is
not my pay night." Defendant did not then gay he
should leave; but he bad not gone to work since.
On the 23rd May he saw defendant, who asked him
for his money. He told him he bad no money in
his pocket at that time; if he came to the house next
day he would settle with him.—Re-examined : If
defendant bad come on Friday week, the pay night,
he would have paid him for the week ending the
9th May; certainly not for the extra days to the
13th. He intended to leave Druce farm as soon as
his time was up.—Ann Burt said that she was in Mr.
Saunders's service as domestic servant. In January
last Riggs came to the house and asked for Mr.
Saunders. Mr. Saunders came into the kitchen,
and Riggs said, "If you please, sir, I am come for
my money." Mr. Saunders paid him, and was
turning away when Riggs asked twice to
be taken on again, expressing his regret
at what bad occurred. Mr. Saunders replied
that be did not particularly want him, but
that if be came back, he must enter into an agree.
ment to remain till after harvest. Defendant agreed
to this, and he went on to work again. In the
beginning of May defendant was at work carrying
some coals to the house, when he spoke about
leaving, and slat told him he could not
leave, as he had agreed to work all
the summer. He said he would see
about that.—Mr. Weston addressed the Bench for
the defence, contending that Mr. Homer having,
since defendant had left, agreed to pay him, com-
pletely done away with the contract.—The Bench
ordered that the wages due be abated, and that
defendant pay 95. 6d. costa.—A fortnight was
allowed to pay the money.

diately turned round and struck him twice on the
forehead. He then took him into custody, and on
their way to the station-hens,, defendant kiskerf
him twice. He was obliged to get assistance to take

him to the lock-up.—Mr. Howard, in addressing the
Bench for the defence, said that in this case the
policeman had greatly exceeded his duty. When
the policeman first went there, the defendant was
!caning against the door, sneaking to some one
inside. He then went in, and the policeman went into
the house and took him into custody. —Mr. Howard
callEd several witnesses to prove these allegations.
—Elizabeth Gayer said she was passing the house
about half-past 10, and saw defendant standing at
the door. The policeman came, and took him from
the step and handcuffed him. When he pulled him
from the step defendant did not ask him any ques-
tions. Saw the policeman drag him along and kneel
on him. Defendant's mother came up and asked
the constable if he meant to kill her son, and he
struck her down with his fist, and witness caught
her in falling. James Frampton came and misted
the constable to take defendant to the lock-up.
Defendant never struck the policeman. When the
policeman fint came up he tried to drag him into
the road, and they went down together, and the
policeman drew his staff twice while they were on
the ground.—Sarah Pace, defendant's sister, said
defendant had hold of the door, and she had hold of
his hand, trying to persuade him to go in add get to
bed. As they were talking together, the policeman
came along, and took him by the two shoulders, and
dragged him into the street. Did not bear the
policeman say anything. A scuffle ensued, and the
constable handcuffed her brother. Previous to the
policeman coming up he heard her two brothers
quarrel, and defendant wanted to tight, lie had
been a little drunk, but knew what he was about.—
Mercia Timmer, another of defendant's sisters, said
when she first saw them hor brother was on his
back, and the policeman was kneeling on his stomach
handcuffing him. She asked him not to kill her
brother. The policeman struck her brother twice,
and knocked her mother down.—The mother of the
defendant was also called for the defence. —Fined

thing was wrong with the shaft horse, he examined
. . .

it, ad found at old wound on the right shoulder.
He knew the horse because he had cautioned defen-
dant before about working it.—Charles Marshaßoy,
the wagoner,said that the wound was bealed,but that
the collar rubbed it again on going to Portland. He
then took the collar off and showed the wound to his
master, who ordered him to cut the collar. He did
nor like to cut the collar before, as he had not his
master's orders. The collar did not touch the wound
after it was cut. The policeinan met them soon
afterwards. His master ordered him, when be saw

was to take the mare out, and not work her again

This information he said he had received from a

want to punish him provided be would support her,
and enter into recognizances for his future good

who have passed their lives in agricultural pursuits,
and have become reduced in circumstances, by
allowing for life, to married persons, £4O per
annum; unmarried males, £26 per annum ; females,
£2O. The society has upwards of £5,000 in Consols,
and numbers 2,000 subscribers, amongst whom,
through the active exertions of Mr. Chielett, of
Wimborne, the local honorary secretary (anti who
was one of the stewards of the anniversary dinner
on the 28th,) are recently added the names of many
of the landowners and leading agriculturists in
Dorsetshire, amongst whom are fit. John Coventry,
Esq., Enowle ; Edward A. Castleman, Eeq., Chettle;
J. C. Mensal Esq., Longtborns ; Willett L Adye,

considerable addition toils subacribers.

WINCANTON.—Tne MANCIESTZI TRAGICDT.—The
prisoners Taylor, were again brought up on remand, en
Friday morning, before the city magistrates (Mr. Ellison
presioing), on the charge of murdering Mr. Evan Mellor,
and their throe children, Mary Hannah Tyke.,
Hannah Maria Taylor, and William Robert Taylor.
After a very lengthy examination of witnesses, the evi-
dence being in a great measure a recapitulation of what
has already appeared, the medical evidence tended to
confirm the following conclusions which were arrived at,
viz., that there was no poison present in the intestine
and kidneys nf W. IL Taylor, nor in the intestines of
Hannah IL Taylor. In both cases they were of healthy
appearance, and contained healthily-digested food.
There had been no diarrhea or purging; that the
deceased children did not die from mantel causes •
that from the condition of the stomachs, as described
b! the medical men and scientific witnesses, the children
did not die from the effect of ordinary irritant polsoes,
which produce vomiting and purging; that from the
erounistances under which the bodies were found, there
is reason to believe that the deceased died suddenly; and
at the same time, that the symptoms under which the
deceased children laboured before death, as well as Ider
duration of their illness, are unknown. This being*
case against the prisoners, they were cautioned in Un-
usual form, and both said they wished to reserve their de-
fe nee. Mr. Ellision then said the magistrates would ems-
ruit them to Liverpool assizes for trial, on the charge of
murdering Evan Mailer; and in the ease of the children
the depositions would also be returned againettbem,
that the prosecution might pursue against them oleo.
They were then removed from the dock. Both eel-
dently turned unusually pale when they were told they
would be committed.
