Price Shield.—Claim for £6.—Mr. Watts appeared
for plaintiff.—Defendiint, who had imbibed some beve-
rage stronger than tee that missing, upon being asked
if lei owed the debt, said" No, (ndeed, your Honor,
far otherwise." The evidence made it appear that plain•
tiff was engaged by defendant, • Sherburne draper, as
traveller, at 14s. per week; that he received certain
sums on account. and when he quitted bin service the
amount was left due. Several letters were produced to
shew the agreement. IJpos defendant being asked by
bis Honor if he had any questions to pet to plaintiff,
he said" he bed nothing to ask the brute of a
beast." His Honor said he did not know where defen-
dant had been that morning,. but such language would
not be allowed in that court. If such was used again
he wottld commit him. Defendant, who denied that

Mr. Blake, at an expense of dl 9a. 6d. The horse was
permanently damaged to the extent of at £6. For

Mr. Fear in his examiaation sought, but failed to
extract anything to show that plaintiff was in drink.—
If r. G. S. Joliffe, surgeon, of Crewkerne, gave evidence as
to the nature of the injuries ta the plairtiff, which,
though not dangerous, were a great hindrance in doing
his ordinary work.—Mr. William Taylor stated that

followed by a crash. Mr. Bartlett's trap came up to
lin shortly' afterwards, and lie made them go back to
see what injury had been done. The plaintiff was on
the right side. When the collision took place lie
shouhl say Mr. Goode's trap was three or four feet
from the ditch. On Mr Goode telling Mr. Bartlett he
shoedd make him pay for the damage, defendant
smemeed Mr. Goode of being in liquor. Witness said
"Oh ! no I have known him for many years—he has an
impedimorPat on his speech." He particularly noticed or
the way to Crewkerne, the manner of Mr. Goode, and
he did not observe him inake • false step on the way,
—Mr. Fear cross-examined the witness at great length,
tat elicited nothing in favour of his client.—Mr. C.
W. Blake, a veterinary surgeon, of Crewketne, said that
the plaintiff's horse was formerly his property. He was
a very " way wise" home, a good one to drive, but be
preferred keeping on the near vide of the road. About
a quarter past ten on the evening of the accident, he
was swat for by Mr. Goode, and saw the horse as well
as Mr. Goode, He particularly noticed the latter, and
thought him quite sober. His bill for attending the
horse was £l 4s. 6d. The horse, from what h. had seen,
was thrown violently down. He should say the damage
to the horse was about Rot or £5. Crossexamined :
The eyes of the horse were good, and the horse had u

Crewkerne, said he saw plaintiff after the accident, on
the night in question. Plaintiff was not drunk by any

the seam of the accident. On the worming after he
went in company with Mr. Blake and plaintiff.—Mr.
uT. &Redfield, coachbuilder, said he saw the gig after
'Hu accident. The offside was much bent and time axle-
. tree WU much injured, one abaft was broken and the
mire wing was smashed to pieces. The lamps stood
- kith in the gig, and they might have jumped out of
. their phew—Mr. William Pink, of the Sun House Inn,
Yeovil, said he saw the plaintiff at the Mermaid Hotel
on the 31st of Number, and he did not appear to be
drunk. Plaintiff was just then about to stare—Mr.
Fear then addressed the court on the part of the defen-
dant, wham be called. He stated that lie was coming
from Heselbury on the night in question, and saw
plaintiff'a lights when about • bundred yards distant.
Seeing that the plaintiff was on the wrong side of the
road, be shouted, and so did his two sons wha were
with him. Plaintiff took no notice, and he (defendant)
pulled in so clue to the near side of the road that one
of his wheels ran upon • heap of atone., and was in
danger of being turned over. He could not have got
farther out of the way, save by going over the hedge.
Defendant's head was hanging down, and his whip was
lying across the reins. The wheel of Mr. Goode's
vehicle slightly grazed the wheel of defendant's cart,
but he passed on there being no perceptible concussion
' On getting ten yards further,'one of his sons looked hack
and sail that the chaise woe upset. He immediately
stopped, and jest at the time Mr. Taylor came up on

. along the same road he could not drive otherwise than
he had done.—By the Judge: The statement of Taylor,
that when he came up, Goode's horse and defendant's
home were entangled, is untrue. Thomas Francis
Bartlett, a.soa of defeadant, aorrobrated hie father's
statement, and said they were going about four miles an
boar. Defendant was proceeding about eight miles an
hour. His father (Mail he could to avoid • collision.

that before the accident he observed the peculiar pool-
the of plaintiff in time gig, and witness remarked to his
father and brother, just after passing, that plaintiff
must he either drunk or asleep. After the accident
Mr. Goode did not eharee his father with being the

cause of the aermident, which calmed a smile to rise upon
time fuse of many of the audience. Jane
Shier living at Barrows Hill, the amine of the accident,
said she went where time vechile was lying. She
endeavoured to explain the position of the horse to his
Honor, but failed to make it clear either to his Honor
• or defendant's solicitor. In continuation witness said :
Next morning she pointed out where the accident
took phiee.—Albert Shier, living at East Chinnock,
said he heard of the accident before it occurred. (This
caused much laughter, in which the witness joined.)

In delivering judgment, his Honor thought that the
evidence bore out the fact that the plaintiff was not

YEOVIL MARKET.— To accommodate farmers and
others attending our markets, the Bristol and Exeter
Railway will run a train every Friday, leaving
Yeovil at ten minutes past the in the evening, and
arriving at Taunton in time to catch the up-train.
FORTUNATE ENCAPIL—A horse attached to a TRU
belonging to Mr. Hodges, baker, East Coker, on
Tuesday evening, set off at a furious pace near the
Chonghs Hotel, and galloped up Rend ford, passing
several vehicles and persons too close to be pleasant;
tiltimately stopping near the turnpike gate without
injury to life or property, a moat remarkable
termination. This should operate as a caution to
bakers and others leaving their horses in the public
streets without some one in charge.
SEWING MACHINES. The representative of
Messrs. Thomas & Co., who have had several
machines on view at Mr. Woodman's, in Princess-
Street, has now departed for Dorchester. Some of
our Yeovil tradesmen at last aroused themselves to
the value of the utilitarian pieces of mechanism and
became purchasers. They will doubtless steal a
march on those who allowed the opportunity to pin
by of becoming purchasers of one of the wonders of
the nineteenth century.
TEMPERANCE ADDRESSER.—Mrs. Hardwick, from
Rutland, delivered one of three addresses on Monday
evening, at the Lecture Hall of the Literary Inatitution.
Mr. Harman occupied the chair, and regretted that
there was not a larger, number present, but expressed
the pleasure it afforded him at seeing so many old faces
and staunch friends of the movement present. The
adoption of the cause had doubtless produced • good
effect upon themselves and society at large. He had
much pleasure in introduciog Mrs. Hardwick, and be-
lieved that the argamentsslie would adduce that evening
would strengthen the cause. The lecturer, who through-
out her address, was attentively listened to, commenced
by stating that seine twenty or thirty years ago it was
argued that Englishmen could not live in their climate
without the aid of intoxicating drinks. Millions who
had embraced temperance proved the fallacy of such •
statement. They were in better health than those who
had indulged in the use of stimulants for twenty or
thirty years, and even if they were not healthier they
must be weightier in pocket. She would have to tell
them that evening, not perhaps new phases of the tem-
penince movement, but old truths in a new dreas. She
did not pretend to say that the temperance question pre-
sented as many fields for discussion or explanation
as the Gospel, which Rowland Hill said was like a round
of beef—cat and conic again. Her address would be
more of an imaginative character than otherwise that
evening. Imagination they knew was more rapid than
even electricity ; mind was more subtle than matter.
Imagination was the flower of the mind: there MAR
more enjoyment in the anticipation of a pleasure than
in the pleasure itself. She then alluded to the baneful
effects of the drinking system, and mentioned how that
1500,000 infants died before they were three years old of
what was called convulsions, brought on by the drinking
customs of their parents. To illustrate the title of her
address, " Banding Castles in the Air," she gave an
imaginary sketch of the origin of the movrrnent. How
that in the year 1832 the bright spirit of temperance
was cent forth from the celestial world to inaugurate
and establish that association which now numbers
millions—the Temperance Society. The angel's first
visit was to the clergy in convocation aseenibled, who,
while admitting the excellency of her noble mission,
dismissed her with the plea that they were so much
engaged in building new churches that they had not
time to attend to her. " When I have a convenient
season I will send for thee." The bright spirit next
wldreesed herself to the legislative body, and whispered
into its ear that temperance should be added to its other
machinery. Some of its members sAd to the spirit "We
don't know you, you belong to the devil," while others
remarked that it could not be a portion of his Satanic
Majesty's work to save human beings from destruction.
Some, however, were induced to adopt the principles
of the blessed spirit, and became zealous apostles in the
cause. Temperance then went to the universities of
Oxford and Cambridge, being anxious to see what could
be done with those who afterwards became shepherds
of souls. She arrived there on the evening preceding
the day of vacation, when a great many of the students
met in groups in their rooms, to take a parting glass,
and wherever she heard them singing ' We won't go
home till morning," she did not enter, but where she
heard the young men praying in their rooms, there she
made it liar business to enter, and endeavour to secure
those students as living witnesses in the temperance
cause. Being discouraged with the partial sueeess she
had met with, Temperance urged her flight to the celes-
tial world, but was in the way met by • number of
disenibodied spirits, who inquired whither she was
going. She told them the Bunsen of her mission and
the enoouragement received, when they said, "Go back
bright spirit of temperance, you have not yet been to
the middle and working claws," Alighting at Preston
she founded the first Total Abstinence Society, modera-
tion being deemed insufficient in preventing the ruin of
souls. If the first glass was never taken they wouli
be sure net to drink the second. Those men who first
advocated the cause, did more good in one year than the
ministers of the Gospel had effected in twenty years.
But it was urged against the promoters of the move-
ment in the earlier period of its struggles that they
were seen of no education. True it was thal, they were
uneducated men—rocks from the quarry of nature upon
which the chisel of education had not been put. They
were like the men who blew the rams' horns round
about the cities of Canaan, which caused their walls to
fall down. Whenever the heard the remark as to the
instruments in the cause she would say to
him who found fault "Corns and let us have
some notes from your silver trumpet." In many
instances they had succeeded in winning them over.
The lecturer defined moderation as anything between •
pint and a painful. Like an india-rubber band with
great powers of elasticity, moderation would stretch
until at last it mapped in intoxication. She then
narrated an anecdote of an English officer and an Indian
travelling down one of the American rivers leading to a
cataract, who one night being wearied tied their boat to
one of the trees growing on the bank, and went to sleep.
During the night the rope was broken, and the boat
glided imperceptibly to the sleepers in the direetion of
the cataract. At length they awoke, and heard its
dreadful roar. They wised the oars, and endeavoured
to save themselves from an impending death, but being
within the influence of the mighty rush of water, they
were unable to make head way. They then resigned
themselves to their fate—the Englishman engaging in
prayer, and the Indian indulging in a war song. Soon
they were engulphed in the foaming water, and all was
over. So it was with thousands who wore sailing down
the river of moderation. . They would gladly return,
but they bad not sufficient strength to save themselves
from certain death. Twenty thousand yearly were lost
in the cataract of drink, and she contented that it was
the duty of Christian men and women to leave the
banks of that torrent of moderation, and warn
those sailing on it of their danger, and assist the
enfeebled in making the shores. She once asked •
farmer, who said • little was very good, but • great deal '
of drink very bad, where the good was, at the top of
the barrel or the bottom!? as she was anxious to get at
the good, and refuse the bad. The farmer, of course,
was unable to answer the puzzling question. She
exhorted the ladies to give up their glass at going to
bed. It it stand for awhile untouched, and see how
nauseous it became. If they could not sleep one night
without it, they would be sure to do to the next, and it
was worth that denial to get rid of • bad habit. She
believed much of the gentlemen's ill-temper arose from
drinking, for thearnew that alcoholic drinks acted upon
and irritated the nervous system. If the ladies who
were the ettlers of fashion and custom, were to
flown on those gentlemen addicted to drinking, tl e
custom of indulging in alcoholic drinks would soon dis-
appear. After alludiug to the great good resulting from
example, she recommended all to abstain from drinking
upon the plea that It wits'not • lois to anybody. Drink
IVIIS dirty water and deleterious matters combined.
Teetotalers' drink must be the clearest. Sometimes it
WIN said that teetotalers drank behind the door. To that
she would say that if they did so they did not belong to
their society, butlto the drinking nanseiation. To drink
behind the door proved that they were ashamed of it.
The advocates of the capse only wished they could
drive it into the closets and behind doors, then there
woulld be hopes of its speedy extermination altogether.
In conclusion, she called upon all who weremot with
them to join the cense, and might God bless them.—The
Chairman, in proposing a vote of thanks to the lecturess,
observed that many had lost a high intellectual treat in
being absent. On Tuesday evening an address was
delivered by the same lady on "Teetotalism in Har-
mony with the Bible," and on Wednesday evening
" Oar young men and women, their dangers, and how to
avoid them."

--BRIDG WATER. SUICIDE Or A YOUNG
WOMAN.—A young girl named Chiloott committed
suicide by drowning herself on Thursday morning,
at Wembden, near Bridgwater. The deceased was
• domestic servant in the employ of Mr. Robinson,
of the Wembden Brewery, and she left the house
about eight o'clock in the morning. As she did not
return inquiries were made, and it was thought she
had gone to her mother's, who resided near. About
a quarter to ten a young man engaged at the brewery
went into a Said near the house, when below the
shawl and bonnet of the girl by the side of a pool of
water, and a note expressing her intention to commit
suicide, and hoping Cod would forgive her. An
alai= was raised, and the body of the unfortunate
girl taken from the water. She was, of course,
dead. The police removed the body to the house
of the girl's parents.

window of the south side of the nave of the Abbey,
is the form that has been aecided on for • memorial
of the late Mr. G. Norman, surgeon, of this city,
whose great usefulness and high eharacter won him
the esteem of the whole community. This form of
memorial has been resolved on in consequence of
Mr. Norman having, as a member of the Council
thirty years ago, been mainly instiumental in
removing some uusightly buildings which disfigured
the front of our venerable Abbey. A design by
Clayton and Bell has been selected by the committee,
and it will cost £250. About £l5O has been already
subscribed, and now the matter is made public the
remainder will, no doubt, be soon contributed.
BRISTOL—GOING INTO A BEDROOM AND THE COE-
IDIQUiNCIDS.—Richard Boasett, a middle-aged man, •
sollisr, residing in ths hsighbourhood ol Oldlands

Common, was charged with being found in the house of
Elisabeth Lintern, living also in the mine neighbour-
hood, for an unlawful porpose.—llefendant, on being
asked whether be was guilty of the charge or not, ad-
mitted being found in the helm, but denied being there
for an unlawful purpose.—The coniplainant, a rather
good-looking woman, said to he a widow with two
children stated that on t night of the 3rd March she
was in b'e he d
with her two children and her mother, when
she heard some one call out '• Lizzie." She thought at
first that it was her brother, but soon found out that it
was not her brother's voice. She got nut of bed, when
the prisoner, who was close by the bedside, put his
hand upon her and begged to be allowed to remain
there, and intimated that if her brother should come Le
would" make it all right," and he offered her a shilling
as an inducement to comply with his wishes. The
prom:matrix, however, went immediately out of the
room, and down stairs, when the prisoner also followed
and attempted to escape, but the complainant's brother
caught him, and gave him the benefit of a sound thrash-
ing. The complainant further stated that she
believed the defendant was in the bedroom for an fin.
proper purpose, but she did not believe that he intended
to commit a felnity.—The defendant, in his defence,
mid that he got drunk on that day, and that he entered
the house by mistake—his house being in close
proximity to that of the complainant's. He said he left
his shoes behind the door, as was his usual custom when
lie went to bed in his own bouse.—hir. Harford said the
magistrates were of opinion that the defendant went
into the complainant's bedroom for an improper purpose,
and characterised his defence as being a very lame mine.
The defendant was then committed to prison for three
months, with hard labour. .

CITY filisatoNe --An interesting meeting in connec-
tion with this society was held on Wednesday evening,
at Mill Lane Chapel, Dedmiurter, to celebrate the 23rd
anniversary of Mr. Ringdon's labours in that parish,
when 100 poor persons (among whom were 40 widows,
whose husbands Mr. Bingdott had visited on their sick
and dying beds) were supplied with an excellent tea.
After tea a public meeting was held. over which Mr.
Ringdon presided. A hymn having been sung, and
prayer offered, the Chairman took a brief review uf his
efforts among the poor people of that locality, express-
ing the pleasure it gave him to do all be could to pro-
mote their t3inporal and spiritual benefit, and his
thankfulness to God for the large measure of success
with which he had been pleased to crown his labours.
The Rev. G. Wood, of Zion Chapel, three students from
the College in Stoke's Croft, Messrs. Twitcher and
Rowe, city missionaries, and ether gentlemen delivered
interesting and instructive addresses, and at half-past
nine o'clock the poor people returned to their homes,
very grateful for the entertainment that luid been
afforded them.
