SALISBURY.—Cm PATTY SESSIONS, Monday.—
Before the Mayor, and T. Attwood Esq.
ASSAULT.—George Smith was summoned for assault-
ing a boy, named Henry Carter, on the 12th inst. The
complainant's father agreed to settle the matter on the
defendant paying coats. The case was dismissed.
LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION.--A very able
lecture was delivered at the Assembly-rooms, on
Thursday, the 12th instant, by Or. Bond, principal of
the Hartley Institution, Southampton, on "The
Geological Action of Ice in Past and Present Times."
The audience, which was but limited, testified their
appreciation of the lecture by frequent applause, and
at the close a vote of thanks was proposed by Dr. Lust,
and (tarried unanimously.
COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS, Tuesday.—Before Lord
Folkestone, J. R. Ferryman, and J. Hussey, &qrs.
James Pain was summoned for shooting a partridge
on land belonging to Mr. Linton, at Orcbeston St.
George.—The keeper in the employ of W. Long, Esq.,
M.P., proved seeing the defendant fire his gun, and
kill a partridge • he had no liberty from any one to do
so.—The defendant said he had the gun to keep the
rooks off the barley ricks and was very sorry for what
he had done—Lord Folkestone said he was liable to a
penalty of £5, or three months' imprisonment ; but as
he bore a good character, and promised not to do so
again, the Bench fined him 10s. and costs.

A PRI ZE FIGHT PREVENTED—On Wednesday,
an attempt was made to bring off a prize fight, first on
the borders of Hampshire, and then in Wiltshire, be-
tween two men named Ingram and Richards, for £6O
a-side. The event appeared to have caused some excite-
ment in certain circles at Southampton, and &rumour
was abroad on Tuesday that Wormald, the present chem.
pion of England, was coming down to act as referee..
The men, with their backers, seconds, and a large
number of other persons, left Southampton early on
Wednesday morning, the cavalcade including almost
every kind of vehicle, from the stylish break to
the humble fish-cart. On ithe arrival of the party
at Stoney Cross, a ring was quickly formed, and the
combatants had fought something like sixty rounds,
when one of the Hampshire sergeants of police made
his appearance, and insisted on the discontinuance of
the combat. No opposition was offered, but the stakes
were at once drawn, and the party at once made a rapid
move into Wiltshire. Soon after entering this county,
however, they were met by SergeantiGhey and some of
the Wilts constabulary, to whom instructions bad
previously been given. Superintendent Matthews
bad a day or two before communicated with
Superintendent Martin, of Lyndhurst, and Superin-
tendent Cooke, of Rouisey, and in consequence the
neighbouring railway stations and,!other places wer I
closely watched. It was intended to renew the fight at
No Man's Land, but the Wiltshire police having been
joined on the road by Sergeants Cheyney and Frampton,
of the Hampshire force, it was evident that there was
no chance of deciding the contest inrthat neighbour-
hood. After waiting a little time at No Man's Land,
the party doubled back through Bramshaw to Brook,
where another halt was made. The police of both
counties followed the party, who were ultimately com-
pelled to return to Southampton, doubtless mush dis-
appointed at the non-conclusion of the battle.

NATEI AND WEST OF ENGLAND SOCIETY.

A very important public meeting was held on Tuesday
at the COIMCiI Chamber, for the purpose of making

attained may be realised.

LyOn,
&dm+
%Wier,

A correct idea of the high estimation the public have
for Horniman's pure tea, may be formed from the fact,
that twelve thousand feet of warehouse-flooring are in
constant working occupation by their staff of packers,
and that they have the largest stook of duty-paid tea in
London to supply their agents, who number about
two thousand. The advantaged their arrangements
afford consumers are great, for tea ordinarily passes
through numerous hands, and has to bear multiplied
profits: from the Chinese grower it passes to the
merchant, next to the tea broker—then to the London
wholesale dealer, afterwards to the provincial trader,
and finally to the retailer ;—but by Horniinan & Co'a.
*q of supply, all they import is sold direct to the
by agents, secured in sealed packets with the
, printed on the label; therefore, uniform good
tue is guaranteed to.constuners. As imitations abound
all are signed by Horniman and Co., original im-
