THE RECENT BURIAL

TO the -Dear Sir,—My attention has been called
to two letters which appeared in your paper of September
tulth and October sth, signed by "A. Resident" and "An
I thabitent," stating that the way in which the burial of
the poor man washed ashore on September 15th was con-
ducted, is • lasting disgrace and vandal to the parish. I
was away from hose at the time of the occurrence. but
since my return have made very careful enquiries about
the matter from a great many trustworthy persons. I
find that the limly was picked up on a Saturday morning,
anti not buried until Monday afternoon. No intimation
that the relatives had lien found or were coming had
than macho.] any or the otatheritiont. anti they decided
that, for sanitary purposes, the funeral had better Mite
place. The coffin was without ornament, nut carefully
and substantially made, and was coveted with the pall
always used in the parish, on which • cross of flowers
was also placed. The remains were taken in a spring van,
lent by the overseer, first to the church and then on to the
graveyard. Four most respectable men of the place, in '
mooning, accompanied the coffin, and acted as bearers.
'Die overseer and the undertaker, both also in mourn-
ing, walked before the corpse from the beach to
the Church, and thence on to the graveyard, and
is lady and her little girl staying in the village followed
When the grave was filled in the wreath of flowers that
had lain on the path was placed on the top of the grave.
I leave your reatiert to lodge whether a funeral so con-
ducted is a scandal or disgrace to the parish. The state-
ment that it was hurried on in defiance of the wishes of
the friends being, as far as I can learn, utterly false and
untrue. If your eponymous correspondents would kindly
sign their own names when they make such charges we
should know how to deal with them. Trusting that you
will kindly find room for this denial of a charge which
the extensive circulation of your paper makes serious,
I remain, yours faithfully. W. I:II.DEA (Vicar).

CO CRT LEET.

The annual supper of that ancient, but in modern
days somewhat superse lel, Institution—the Court
lseet —took place on Thursday last at the "Plume of
Feathers," where the well-known "J.R.T." served an
admirable spread, consisting of mast and boiled joints,
poultry, game, and the plum-pudding of old England,
with other culinary delicacies. Mr. J. Short"), the
newly-elected chairman f the Court Iseet Grand Jury,
occupied the chair, Mr. Barrett, of the Phenix, facing
him in the vice. The chairman was supported by the
Mayor of Dorchester (Mr. Alderman Lock), the Town
Clerk (Mr. Giles Symonds), and the Deputy Tan
Clerk (Mr. If. Symond.), and amongst the members
present were—Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Mutford, Mr. Guy,
Mr. T. Roger?, Mr. Gould, Mr. M. Tilley, Mr. G.
Read, Mr. Irish, Mr. Samways, Mr. Longman, Mr.
Timed, Mr. Harris, Mr. Holland, Mr. Parsons, Mr.
Miles, Mr. Cox, Mr. Lovelace, IHr. Voss, and Mr.
Seward.

Mr. :ismer° exercised A wise discretion in giving the
toasts short, sharp, and decisive.
After the loyal toasts had received their due weed
of merit, "The Army, Navy, and our Volunteers"
was responded to by Sergeant RUMAKY, of the 3rd.
"The Mayor and Corporation" was cheePily re-
ceived, and Alderman LOCK responded, delicately
touching upon the approaching "lot," and hinting
that su,cessful candidates for municipal honours
would by no means find them lie easy on their
hewis during the ensuing year. Many large and
important subjects would c nme before them, and they
would be called upon to expend a great deal of moue.",
never at any time a pleasant proceedure.
" The Health of the Town Cleik" was heartily
aocepted, and NIL GILDA SYMONDS tendered his thanks.
To the toast of " The Deputy Town Clerk" Mr.
HENRY SYMONDS responded in a neat and felicitous
gP°!ch' - - -

"The Old Officers of the Court" were duly recog..
lased, and " J. R. T.." the nnimitable, being brought
upon hie lege caused much laughter by hie humorous
response.
The CHAIRMAN then tendered the thanks of the
company to Mr. and Mrs. Taylor for their exertions,
and this having been acknowledged by the former, a
few other toasts followed, and eleven o'clock and th•
parting gla.,e closed a very jolly evening.
Songs were sung between each of the speeches and
some beautiful bouquets from Mr. Harris' Nurseries
added to the appearance of the room.

Thinughout the region of the Danube the weather

made by the Bowdene for a winter campaign, but it

tweitions when the severe weather sets in. Stdieman
Puha reports that eighteen thousand Bulgarians have
been incorporated into the Russian army, and that
thirty thousand more Roumanian., are crowing at
Nicopolis. The Roumanians ascertained on Sattutlay
that the Turkish troops had not abandoned the great
Gravitza redoubt, nor had they mined it as was
ruppmed last week. The Roumanians attacked it,
and twice escaladed it, but were driven back with
considerable loss. The Russians hate also made an
attack on the Turkish position to the east of Plevna.
but were also repulsed. The l'orte having learned lif
Mouklitar l'acha's defeat has sent orders to Erzeromn
and Batoum to send all the available troops to his
relief, while all the troops that can be deepatched
from Constantinople are being wet to Trebizond. The
statement as to the safety of Rachid Pacha's division
is fully confirmed. The Czar has ordered that the
foot and horse artillery of the reveres shall be placed
on a war touting.

STFIPS IN WINT (W_ CHtIiTERFIf.Lp PLACF,

Mr. Aldermen MlLLEntig advocated the placing of •
new flight of steps opposite Chesterfield Place, in favour
of which a memorial bad been sent by the residents and
neighbours, including the Royal Dorset Yacht Club.
Mr. CHARLES and Dr. DREW thought the little break.
water opposite Aqgusta Place should be removed, to
furnish material, and, after Sir John Cootle's opinion had
teen mentioned amid laughter, and shrugging of shoulders,
the Surveyor wax questioned, and did not counsel the re-
moval of the little breakwater, which acts ISA a sea groin.
On the motion of Mr. NIttLEPGE and Mr. Cu MIES, it
was resolved that the Surveyor prepare plans for the new
steps.
LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

• • • • •

This unhealthy nuisance, Mr. Weisroati said, hail been
abated ; the cesspool had been done away with, the parties
had been summoned, and the &mai Sanitary Authority
had done everything in their power, short of making the
demo. themselves.

Mr. DMCNIS. seconded by Mr. WsLi.ts, again moved
that the Town Clerk communicate with the Rural Sanitary
Authority, asking for the immediate abatement of the
existing nuisance arising from the defective drainage at
Rock's-terrace—Carried.

THE PARK NUISANCE.
Mr. liawkesley is still silent as to the drainage of the
Park. _
• -

.
Mr. DENNIS called attention to an alteration of the terms
of his notice. It was on the paper—'To consider Mr.
Dennian motion as to which of the schemes in Mr.
Morgan's report as to drainage should be adopted, in the
event of Mr. Hawkesley not approving of either of them.
The Tows CLERK said it was impossible to put on the
agenda paper all the notices in the form sent, so he took
the pith of them. The notice was sent as follows To
consider which of the schemes preserved in Mr. Morgan's
report of June, 1176, for the effectual drainage of the
Park, it is desirable to adopt, in the event of Mr.
Ilawkesley not furnishing the Ibard with any alternative
scheme."

_
Mr. DES'S'S, expressing himself satisfied with the Town
Clerk's explanation, asked the Board to go into, discussion
on Mr. Morgans plans.
The Tows CLERK wished to first write to Mr. Rawkesley
privately, giving him till a certain day to furnish his
report
Mr. CHARLES, Dr. DRNW, the MAYOR, and Mr. WILSFORD
supported this suggestion,
tr. DENNIS wASwiilin'ils defer the matter until
November 9, when he hoped the present Mayor would le
reelecteA, and he would have the satisfaction of knowing
the whole thing would be carried out satisfactorily during
hie term of office. (Lsughter.)
The TOWN CLKRK is to write again to Mr. Hawkesley.

The It!Arca stated that Mr. Howard's notice for the
extension of roads and alteration to the bridge had not
been Placed on the agenda paper, because there was so

I),MM' GAYETY FRIENDLY SOCIETY. --A special
general meeting of the members of this society, was
held at the Shirehall on Tuesday "For the purpose
cif altering, rescinding, and amending the rules and
tables."—The chair was taken by the Rev. Talbot
Baker, who was glad to see so large an attendance,
chewing the members took an interest in their own
concerns. He proceeded to comment on a circular
which had been issued, which counselled opposition to
the new rules, as any alteration, it was stated, would
be injurious to the old members, and intimating the
society had better be wound up and the funds dis-
tributed pro rata. These were matters, he said,
they would have to discus. But he put it to the
meeting whether, even granting the new rules would
be injurious to the old members, it would not be
better to accept the injury instead of breaking up the
society, and distribute the funds pro raid. There were
about 3.000 members, the funds were £15.000.0r about
£5 apiece. Assuming some of the old members got £lO
each, leaving the younger to receive pro raid, how
long would it last? They could not join any other
society, for none would take therm—A Voice : Yes,
they can; the Oililfellows would take the society over
as a body.—Another Member: They would not take
the society in its present state.—The Chairman : They
must be very ield fellows if they do. (Laughter.)
He thought the proposal to discontinue the hill pay
after a certain term of sickness existed in every
single asiety in the kingilom.—The discussion pro-
needed at great length. Various alterations and
modifications were made in the new rules, and finally,
after an able address, Mr. Floyer, M.P., proposed
their adoption, which was seconded by Mr. striven,
of Portland, a benefit member, and unanimously
agreed to.—The proceedings terminated shortly before
four.

Captain Parr Ashton, of Heves, near Chester, is a
nice sort of a man. Suspecting his head gamekeeper
of stealing his rabbits, he brought down a detective
whom he kept on his estate for a month—very con-
mid ..rately at the expense of the county. The official
ferret, after lying in ambush for a month at Farvin,
arrested the man for giving six rabbits to another man
named Williams. It was, however, proved that
Williams had been assi:ting Fowl to shoot the rabbits

brace had been given to Williams by two other game-
keepers. It was also stated Ford had been detained
four .lays in custody before being brought bef.,re the
magistrates. Mr. Chtwton, who appeared for the
defence, said the proceedings had been about as
violent and irregular as could well be imagined. The
magistrates, iit dismissing the case, concurred with
, Mr. Churton in thinking great irregularities had
taken place.

The monthly meeting was held on Tuesday, when there
were preseot-The Mayor (Dr. Aldridge) ; Aldermen
Corme, Galpin, Lock. and Davis: Councillors Emson,
Hodges, Gregory, F. Lick, Newman, Alfred PDP, W.
Durden. Frost, and Hazel; also the Town Clerk (Mr.
Giles Symonds), and Mr. llecry Symonds.
The Tows CLIRIE expressed thanks for the late vote of
condolenm on the OCCasiOn of Mrs. Symonds' death.
Alderman LOCI( drew attention to the probable desira-
bility of applying for a loan of money under the 28th
Section of the Public Works Loan Cluanlissioners' Act. A
loan might be effected at 3 or 31 per cent, per anaum -a
less per centimes than the money could be borrowed from
private sources on debenture. It would he necessary to
give notice before December 31st of an application. Ile
moved that steps he taken for securing a lout of ZI,OU(I
under the Act specified.
Mr. Esmos seconded the motion, which waa carried
unanimoody.
The question of allowing the walks-keeper gram as a
perquisite wail dismisaed.
Mr Port: urged the walks-keeper should he pad in
money and not in kind. Ile said it waa a bad system to
allow grass, and suggested 14. or 15s. per week be offered.
He then moved the wages be fixed at 15. on and after
Match 24th.
Mr. GRRGORY seconded the motion.
Alderman GALPIS strongly opposed tfie proposed advance
as being a great waste 14 public money, and asked the
Council whether they were prepared to raise the remuner-
ation of all the;r ',manta.
Alderman LOCK considered Lis. weekly was not too
much for an :dde-lodied man, and supported the motion.
The Macron failed to M. any nemweity for making an
alteration.
Mr. llorior-s suggested the question be deferred until
the March meeting.
Alderinau (;ALPIN then formally proposed it he deferred
accordingly, and, this having been seconded by 111 r.
Duos, was carried unanimously.
The Watch Committee reported on the satisfactory and
admirable statement made by Supt. Coward.
The report was unanimously received and adopted, •
gratuity of 10a. 6d. being made to the man Foster who
apprehended two men who had stolen a coat from Mr.
Edkins. shop in South-street.
The General Purposes Committee reported Messrs. Guy
and Son offered to rent the clump of trees on the eastern
side of Beggars' [Coen. After some discussion the report
of the committee to the effect that matters be left no at
present was adopted unanimausly. A letter was received
from the Home-office in regard to the Justices' Clerk's Act.
167, which provides for annual salaries in lieu of fee. A
committee was constituted to consider the matter.
Mr. FROST and the MOTOR made reference to the dis-
satisfaction at present existing MA to the time for holding
the markets. The subject is to be considered on another
OCCaaiOn. The business of the urban sanitary authority

"Pnirnm i, the motto of each Abbotabury Railway
promoter, and especially o! Mr. Nlanfield, from whose
c .untry high Blag.lon 1111 and Hardy's monument
look .lown upon Weymouth. Portesham is the book-
name of Mr..Matifield's stronghold ; but I prefer the
old Ih.rset e dtraction " POVIUM" sag a good omen for
the making of the railway. The great landowners of
the district for many year. returned an answer like
that ‘sf the Pope—" non pouuntto,"—" we can't;" but
Mr. Manfield's energy has found real Dorset, good
Latin, and • hearty encouragement, combine in
"Possum," or "I can." The "I will" has long
belonged to Mr. Manfield with reference to the plan,
and "I will" and "I can" have now joined, and show
again that "Where there's a will, there's a way."
Weymouth people have taken up • good proportion of
shares, for they feel that in the Abbotsbury railway
will be another good outlet and inlet to the town.
Some reasonable dividend seems to be quite certain,
and the Abbotsbury minerals may bring a mite of
wealth to the shareholders. The presence of good
iron ore is visible, and where there's iron there's
generally coal not far off. Even if the associated coal
lies under the English Channel, too far even for
energy like that which works the submarine mines of
I Botallack, the Abliotsbury iron is not more than a
I small distance from the great Somersetahire coal-field.
The (heat Western Railway will so evidently benefit
by the Abbotabury minerals, that it in not to be ex-
pected the shares will long stay open to the public,
who, unless they subscribe quickly, will, I expect,
find that the Great Western have forestalled them by
offering to make or buy the line."
