Buckingham Peirce is at present a kind of hotel for
numbers of the Royal Family staying in town. Those
princes and princesses who have sot a London house,
or who, having a Loudon boom, do not wish to we It,
go to this palase at a matter of right, and stay there
as imig iss they please, and do what they like when
they are there, to the great dismay of the limited staff
of officials and domestics who remain in charge. The
Queen, who OXIIIPANII • house-wifely carefulness in
rasped of the aooounts of the Privy puree, hoe issued
directions that for the future any number of the Royal
Tamil, wishing to remain at Buckingham Pals* more
than three days must bring his own servants, ml must
provide for hie own expenses whilst there.
There is lass talk about the amasslaistion of Mottle,
liken about that of Carey. Yet, lilt be lodged true that
lliottley has been shot down in Philadelphia, s far
more anima blow has been struck at the clause of law
sod order than by the murder outside Port Elia sbeth,
which is the molt exciting topic of the hour. It is
• vainly more terrible thing that ordinary witnesets
should be pursued to remote regions and destroyed,
than that informers should have wreakel upon them
the vengeance of the secret s visiting which they
have betrayed. Mottle, never belonged to the
Fenian Brotherhood, or, as for am is koown, to any
secret society. He broke no oath, not even • osier

In aocordacio• with the duty of citis.uship. deposed

at a certain time, sod at a certain place, he saw the
prisoner Kelly. A conscientious juror In Dublin is
in danger ..f assassination, as was the case with Mr.
Field; an hottest witnees, as well as an informer,
appears to be in equal peril.

The estimates showed a deficiency of /MOO 9i. 61. In
connection with this a sum of £3 14, 7. was included,
being the charges of the (let of the Pesos, corthequent
upon the proceedings relative at She prosseutioa of Mr.
Doesle for obetrucing the highway at Shirts. Wed at
the last Dorset Arises.
Mr. DUODALM said he MI6 SO prOSOM against any
portion Of he sum incurred In the uojtist prow:ll4th
which had been preferred Mehut him being Paid out of
the rates. He did not mean to say the Chat of the Pesos
eau not entitled to his fail, but what he took agoeption to
was that the ratepayers of Poole should be nailed upon to
pay for • matter in which they took not the slightest
Interest. He had had to pay his own MU. and Int those
bad preferred the indictment eggnog him pay theirs.
He only hoped if those Piemente were to he made out
of the ratepayers' money. that the arm= when he
looked through the accounts would disallow it.
Mr. BALSTON was sorry to hoar his (rimed Kr. Magda*
make use of the term that the trial was an unjust prose-
cutios. He ass regretted to have heard it stated of him-
Iself personally that ho it wee who had instigated Kr.
Habgood to do it. and also that it had been done from
men political spleen. Now, as a matter of fact, he would
assure the Council that he knew no more ot what Kr.
Habgood was guns to do than Mr. Gardale did himself.
Mr. MODALS: I don't say you did.
Mr. SALMON mutinied : Bat he hither there were others
who did. If ever there was • free right of way anywhere,
there was one at this place. The late Mr. Join. not only
allowed the public to walk there, bur actually planted
trees for their benefit. Aod when he (Kr. Balaton) first
heard of these procoeding., he told Kr. Dogdale holm If
that Poole was about the only place in the world where
each • stoppage would have he-n allowed. When the
matt-r Cants before the Court of Quarter Sessions and the
Km Neter, bet ill Kr. Habrood that it was very foolish on
his part to carry it out personally what he ought to do
would be to otemoriailee the Town Courier and eniesvour
to get them to pr• tort the public right• '('hat wag one of
their (intim, he considered, and a icordingl r he brought f.-r-
-ward emotion that the C ouncil shoal 4 adopt the proceed to„s
which had been Instituted as their corn. His resolution,
however, was negatived, and accordingly Kr. Habgood
had no alternative but to carry the case through ae a
private individual. With regard ti Kr. Dithdale's
opposition be thought they might as well attempt to
repudiate a private debt as the item in question.
The lIIATOII remarked that the expense had been
Incurred through Mr. Dm/dales writ of ontiors.:.
Kr. Coins: Oh. thth we'd better pay it, and not say
anything more about it. (Laughter.)
Kr. DUODALS : You go or I know what I have been
talking about.
Mr. Corns slaked whether, although this promeuton
had been Instituted by a private indivi Nei, inasmuch se
It wail a public mitts'', it wee not within the province of
the Clerk of Peace to pay the costs.
Toe TOWN CLAIM said se far as Kr. Dordale wee con-
mined he had belt charged with • criminal offence.
The expenses which hat been at present paid hy the
borough would be chased upon the county and returned.
Kr. Donna/A: I don't think you have quite done with
this m itter pd. This is ouly this c nd instalment.
Mr. Calms : Well, all I can say is that it has been a
vexed question for aortae years. It has been tried, an iI
think It is worth the money.
DUODtLI said it was perfectly unwise on the part
of Mr. Chats, as anyone else, St make such a remark.
Ereryone knew that there never was • right of Ivey around
Starts. It was only by the permission of Mr. JoilLe, who,
in his goodness of heart, allowei it, that persons ever
walked round there. Besides, he had motive' off:re (rots
over 103 persona, preiriqus to the late trial, who wens Pre-
rfrto state that they had been turned back by Mr.
ite. That was well-known to everybody, and equally
so totters few who had taken the matter up with the wish
to put him to trouble and expense— they bad done so, and
be hoped they were satisfied. He had, however, main-
tained his rislate, and had had to pay for it—his costa had
been some £33o—and he was quite content, but he pro-
tested against the money of the ratepayers being wolfed
over such an abominable transaction.
Mr. Cigars: If the prosecution had been as (lariat an
Injoetice as Mr. Dog isle would wish us to
no Grand Jury would have found • true bill.
Mr, Duociatog : The first did not.
Mr. Colas, said there was • divided opinion in Poole all
to this question of tight of way. If Kr. Doggata could
bring hundreds to amen that no each right ever existed.
hundreds could be brought on the other hand to declare
that It had.
Mr. DOCIIMILM •. The Lord Chief Justice of England laid
there wean, right of way.
Mr. BALATON : He vented his dinner
Mr. Wgrrama, who said he felt somewhat strongly
on the matter, remelted the question had Interested the
town for a long time. A peat number of the inhabitants
believed in the right and, as • result, these proosedings
had been instituted. They were not • matter of pater
day. for they had hem talked of long before the roughs
of Poole endeavoured to take a rough mode of obtaining
their rights by pulling down the wall. (Langhter.)
Kr. Ducrists :If yoo are not careful you all basalt
some of your friends. (Renewed laughter.)
Mr. BALATON said he could not help that, but it seemed
to him the town ought to look to their rights, and this
laving now become a town matter through the returning
of the Grand Jury, in common fairness the town ought to
pay the hilt
Yr. DOOM= remarked he did not say for • moment
that the Town Clerk ought not to be paid b10t....
Mr. MIMI was of opinion it MN cart Maly worth the Very
small amount.
Mr. BeLLITAI proposed, and Alderman HAMILTON
MC hided that the ono:mats which boolu tad this item be

In reply to Alderman Brralso, the Tows Cutts stated
he was expecting every day the lag:actor appointed
under the Provisional Order relating to the &Wein of the
harbour to enquire Into the subject The Wareham people
were the only ones they now had to deal with.
Alderman MOULTON salted Mr. Mate what had become

Mr. Move: Oh, We not forgotten. Tie money can be

The Bar Committee are not without work to do.
