when these rates are expended end distributed I Have
this very wise msjority scything that is not proper
or feasible to divulge to us poor and ignorant oon-

At the first meeting _of the new Board of Guardians
at thei Board-room. Wimborne, on the 27th lost., it
was pro by Mr. Elcock, and eirainded by the

ment was proposed by Mr. J. T Homer, and seconded
by Mr. Thorne. Laing (one of the Wi inborn* Guardians)
th.t reporters be w.t admitted. On being put to the
vote the numbers for the amendment were 22, and for

In his speech at the manual dinner of the Shorthand
Society at the Holborn Restaurant last Saturday,
Lord Gorge Hamilt on remarked th it "the tout of
the Masse. of Parliament was a popul or one." This
is not a very original or striking obeervati •n, but no
doubt it is true. But when his lordship went on to
attribute that popularity to the gentlemen who rep irt
the speeches made within those hones.. I am not quits
SO sure that he was right. With met of our pa Ha-
mentary orators I should be inclined to suppose that
the lees the reporters gave of their utterances the more
popular they were likely to be. "Give your Jodi:-
routs, but never your ream-one for then," said ohe old
judge to the young one. "Give your • tes, but never

He rem.rkel the Bench were well scquainued with to.
circumstance .of the ca-e. Mr. F 'smut had shoe indvd,
and therefore it was impeetble for them to have h in
there that day to give his consent to to. treasfee. Ru
based his application on the 9th George IV., cap. 61.,
sec. 4.
Mr. Curtis doubted whether they were justified in
aoosdins to the requeet to the absence of the holder of
the licence.
Mr. Budge said they only wished they knew where
he was.
Mr. Curtis: lam told he tenet fir of. I heard
he WM seen at Southampton yesterday.
Mr. Bulge: And I was Lodi his corpse wee picked
up at 14031011t0D yesterday. (Laughter.)
Mr. Western : We don't know whether he Is •
' Free-msn or n it in this matter.
Mr. Budge said if that ground were pursued he should
also object that Mr. Curtis ought to i eke any put in
those peones Hoge. Mr. Curtis bad expressed an
opinion upcn the caes, and they knew from the active
part be t..ok in such matters that Bite could he would
have all the housee in the neishbourho abut up.
Therefore, he thought it scarcely becoming of him to
take part in those rinsed ins.
Mr. Curtis: I think I am quite right.
Mr. Budge : What I Pay is, that am it is not con.
sidered proper for • brewer to take part in licensing
questions, upon the same grounds of prejudice I
think s member of the Moe Ribb en Army ought not.
(Laughter.) I see no difference.
Mr. Curtis : rho principle is not the same.
M. Badge : The principle is this!. that he may not
argue the q testion in an impartial manner.
Mr. Corti' said his view wee that thsy could not
take awa• the license from Freeman behind his beck.
Mr. Budge replied the firm bud the license. A
• ry strong gale WM teMiltly decided at Wiroborne.
In I. the landlord of the house at Let Aunt had j 'iced
the Blue Ribbon Army, and refused to give up the
license to enable it to be transferred.
Mr. Hallam, who ha I • insetted the landlord, wished
to make a speech, but the B nob declined to hew him,
and very quietly settled the matter by making the
transfer.
Mr. Curtis: We are not ruled by Wimborns.
Mr. Smith wee then ow rn, and cal.! Mr. Freeman
was not living la the town that he was aware of.
Mr. Supt. Hunt also proved be held a warrant for

In reply to Mr. Curtis, Mr. Smith said Mr. Free-

Fire at Minterne House.

mictiwne House, the fine old seat of Lord
Dixby, _ narrowly escaped destruction by fire
this (Monday) morning. About seven o'clock
it was found tht the roof of the servants'
bedroom was on fire. The alarm was at once
raised, and Mr. Supt. Coward, of the Dorchester
Fire Brigade was comminicated with, and the
engines at Brigade,
Sydling, and Melbury sent
for. Mr. Supt. Coward received the telegraphic
message at 7.52, the engine and brigade were
quickly equipped, and at five minutes past nine
were on the scene of the fire, a cistance of 10
mom from Dorchester. On their arrival they
found the fire had been extinguished through
the energetic action of the members of the
household, so their serviette were not called
into requisition. To give some idea of the
narrow escape which the building had run, we
may say three or four yards of the roof had
been burnt, some large beams in the roof had
been completely charred, and a considerable
quantity of lead had been melted. Considerable
damage was done by the water used in the
hurried efforts to extinguish the fumes. The
damage, however we underst tnd, will be
covered by insurance in the Alliance Company.
Miss Digby was he first to raise the alarm.
The origin of the ou break is unknown, but is
supposed to have been caused by a speak from
one of the chimue)s.
