—Mr. W. Pommy lately sent half-a-hundred oysters
dredged iti Poole Harbour to Mr. Frank limikland,
asking his opinion of thorn, and he has replied aa
follows :—I have always taken very great Interest in the
oyster fisheries of Poole Harbour, having souse years
ago inspected the breeding ponds instituted on the east
ride of the harbour, then admirably looked after by Mr.
Conchardon, who came from one of the great French
oyster breeding Places, I think the Isle de HU.. I Dover
in all my experienae saw a better plate for oyster cul-
ture than pool° Harbour, and I am much pleased that
the authorities have at last seen the importance of cal'tieting the natural resources before their own doors.
The oysters sent me are yea; handsome in their shells.
They are, however, somewhat expanded— i c., too broad
in comparison to thlir depth. The inside shell Is pearl.
like, and promises well. There is no trees whatever of
the " black disease" In the pearl portion of the internal
shell. Nor is there the slightest symptom of
or boring sponge that is doing so much RItallow)
If In

the property of Jane lioskitu, did fraudulently co'i.
veil the same to her own USIL at 1ie100.014 Regis, on
March 20' The grand jury ignored the hill.
Ceninewef.el Wes also indicted for endeavouring to
obtain Irons William Griminett, by meow; of a false
Kett:nee, a quantity of groeeries, kc., value El is,
at the same time and phew.
Mr. Ffooks prosecuted.
Prisoner took lodgings at Mrs refreshment
hones, and said she had some to Weymouth to get a
situation as governess, and went out apparently for
' that purpose. She ascertained that one of C aptain
servants woe leaving, and engeged the young
woman. She went to Mr Griunnett'e iu a carriare,
and ordered • quantity of goods ; but hap.
mooed to ask what his terms were, Mr. Grirnino.A's
suspicions were excited, and when he snit us the g.ods
he ordered that they were not to ho let go without
payment. She returned an answer that she would call
at Mr. Grimmetes in the morning, and the goods wero
taken beak.
Prisoner said the bill was sent to the house witheut
any goods, and she thought that very atrange, and
therefore did not pay.
The Chairman said her going to the shop in 3 carriage
could not be • false pretence, because it WAS true she
came in a carriage, and if it was alleged that she r Aro
in the carriage to represent herself as a wrier' a good
credit, that would not be • false pretanc-, heoatem the
terms "good credit" had a very wile and iudefinito
application. tier saying she had taken lotting' at
Gloucester Bow was perfectly true. Mr. Grinenett
took • very wise precaution in not having the goo la
delivered without the money. The attempt to commit
• misdemeanour was a misdemeanour, but that
attempt most be carried into action, so as ite to leave no
doubt that it was made.
The jury found prisoner not guilty.
The Chairman said that prisoner had bees acquittal,
not from anything in her conduct ; but because Mr.
Grituruett had takes the precautions he had. Prisoner
had been convicted three or four tionei before, and if
she had been now wash:46d, after four previous om-
victions, the sentence, weald have been rather severe ;
be hoped the present ...aid be a werums to her to
give up this dishonest comm..

LUNATIC ASTLUMS.

Mr. Fr °TIN read this report. It stated that the
balance in the non.pauper and out,iounty patients
fund amounted to I:2 052 3a 8.1. There are 250 melon
and 252 female patients. Adiseharged convict f rout Port •
land who was insane, bad been taken to IWaymoutli
workhouse by a warder and left there, :rid now
he had become a charge on the county. The Home
Secretary was appealed to, and he said no reUef could
be granted because the man was not certified as insane
while in the prison. Mr. Floyer commented on the
hardship inflicted on the county by this case, and said
it was in violation of an intimation made to him by
I.ord Palmerston, when Home Secretary, that such
arrangements would be made that discharged convicts
would not become a burden to Dorset. But he thoncht
the Weyinouth workhouse authorities were not bound
to receive the man, as at that time he could not be
Consi,lered destitute.
Mr. 11. C. GOODDEN suggested that if he had been
refused admittance, and had then come to his end, the
master might have been tried for manslaughter.
Mr. FLOTtled Idea was that lie should not have been
received out of the custody of the warder.
The Rev. C. W, BINGHAM mentioned the cue of
Gwynne, tried at the last usizes, as another instance
of a convict being discharged insane.
The Rev. CARE OLT!, thought he should have been
sent to Broadmoor asylum.
Mr. PORTMAN said that some time ago he took in•
tweet in the case of • convict at Milbank who there
was reason to think was insane. He saw the Governor
and he said, "He's very nearly at the end of his
time, don't say a word about his being insane, or he'll
be sent to Broadmoor." It seemed to be a habit;
when the sentence of an insane conriet /expired,
they were well rid of him, knowing ho would
be taken care of by somebody. If that was
the system of the subordinates, it was time the
Secretary of State knew of it. He would so Mr.
Brnoe if it was the wish of the Court—(hear, hear).
With regard to Gwynne they had better not mend him
to Broadmoor, though that they could do siren under.
taking to pay 14s. • week, for they could keep him ter
7s. a week, while at Broadmoor he would cost the
ciountry 255. a week 1
