BRI D PORT.

OF Thursday and Friday, a panorama illustrating
an ocean and overland journey round the world, was
exhibited at the Town-hall. On the latter day
twenty-four of the children of Walditch school
attended the morning performance through the
kindness of theiygoodtfriend, Mrs. Gundry, of The
Hyde.
Tics 17ND:qr.—It having been thought desirable to
procure, if possible, a small harmonium for use at the
services on.Bundays and at other times at the Brid-
port 'Union, we understand that Mrs. Broadley and
Mrs. Cuthbert this week kindly undertook the task
of soliciting help to that end, and, thanks to the
liberality of those they waited upon, have obtained
a sufficient sum,

_
ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH. —Collections were made
on Sunday morning and evening at this beautiful
little church, on behalf of missions in the diocese
of Brisbane, in Australia, which amounted to three
guineas. The church was, as it always is, thronged
with worshippers at the evening service, The
prayers were read by the Rev. G. S. Cuthbert, and
the sermon was preached by the Rev. Prebendary
Broadley, the text being 1 C,or. i, part of verse 7,
"Waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."
The rev. gentleman preached an eloquent and heart-
stirring discourse from these words, and made a
fervent appeal on behalf of church missions, and
especially for aid to the mission in the diocese of
Brisbane.
THE Capita PLaficit—The justices of the Britt.
port petty sessional division of the county have
issued an order prohibiting the exhibition or sale of
horned cattle and sheep at markets and fairs, and
the introduction of any such animals from any part
of Great Britain into the division until the lit
March next, but persons may sell on their own land
or premises animals which have been in their posses-
sion for days, Thy Mayor of the borough has
issued an order identical With the abote save in this
important particular—that butchers have liberty to
bring into the boikiugh animals purchased within the
Bridport petty sessional division of the county, but
such animals must be slaughtered within 48 hours of
their arrival in the borough. These, we doubt not,
effectual precautions against the introduction of the
dreaded plague, indicate a happy co-operation of the
oounty magistrates and the Mayor of the borough,
highly creditable to all, and which has been found
wanting in a 'narked degree in the Dorchester
district.
COUNTY Poulos, Monday,—litefore B. P. Gundry and
W. Mountie; Biqrs. Wholesale Apple Stealing
Thomas Norris, of Pymore, a lad, was charged with
stealing apples from Mr. G. S. Miller, farmer, of Bradpole.
P.C. Wills said on Friday, Decanberlst, in the evening,
in consequence of receiving communications from Mr.
G. S. Miller that he was losing his apples, he watched
an orchard of his at Watford by request He saw the
prisoner ozone over the hedge and walk up to a heap of
apples, He had a large coat on with the pockets out,
and he mit a lot of apples through the pocket holes into
the lining of the coat. As he Was going away witness
pursued and overtook him, and took the apples now
produced (one peek), from his coat. Prisoner threw
come others away before he reached him. The value of
the apples was about 6d. He Asked the prisoner his
name, and lie said it was James Golding, of Bridport,
but he found afterwards it wits Norris, awl that he lived
at Pymore.—Mr. Miller said there had been a regular
trade carried on with his apples, he had lost as mach as
20 seeks from that orchard alone. Toe boys from the
Pymor, aistory (where the prisoner worked), did a great
deal of damage, not only in stealing the am lee, but in
cutting hedges and trampling down the grass fields.
Some time back some boys had done damage t some
grass amounting to about £5, but he bad looked over
that; he thought now, however, they had kept on doing
so much damage it was time to put a stop to it.—
Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to one
month's imprisonment with hard labour. Mr. B. P.
Gundry sail it was a very bad cone; he had gone there '
with a coat purposely prepared to carry a great quantity
of apples, and had given a false name. Mr. Miller had
been very kind in not pressing these eases more, but
they had now become so flagrant that the magistrates
had determined they should be stopped, and would make
an example of him. They had the power of sentencing
him to three months, and Mr. Hounsell said if be came
before them again he might depend on it they would do
so.—William Eveleigh, of Whitchurch Canonicorum,
