threw it over her, and then roiled her on the ground

KUNIO • C•BM•31 "Is SUBJ1011011."—On Tues.
day last Thom« Pryer, a aebman, and Jonathan
Cook, his employer, were summoned for disorderly
conduct, and Pryer answered to the summons. but
Cook did not arrive till the cam had been pertly heard.
P.C. Hansford stated on let November, about twenty
minutes to throe p.m., he was coroiug down the Royal
Terrace when he saw Cook and Pryer, and heard

Gok say to the hitter 'Y..O hue uir brisioess to be
hire; you are drunk now." It did not seem to
witness that Pryer was drunk, but he was excited;
went to Cook an i threatened him wth his fist.,
whereupon Cook threatened to put a stick about him,
and he afterwards did strike him over the hoed with •
stick. Cook moused Pryer of driving about the town
Instead of being on the stand. Croeseexamined by
Pryer, the constnble said he did not see defendant
strike • blow. In answer to the Mayor, Hansford
said be did not think either of the men were drunk.
A dust-cart man, named Lovell, saw the quarrel, and
heard Pryer say be did not want to kick up any row
in the town. Pryer did not strike a blow, and Cook
was the man who made all the row. Jonathan Cook
now appeared, and withers in his promos repeated
that Cook made all the disturbance. The Mayor:
A. far as you say, Cook seems to have been the
beginning, middle, and end of the row. Pryer said
he was assaulted, but he himself never struck a blow.
In his defence Cook said that this was election day,
and no doubt Pryer had been doing the beet me could ;
but there was a good deal of drink eying about, and
he wanted to keep Pryer right. He told him about
being off the stand. Pryer argued with him,
and he told Min to take hie carriage home •,
Pryer refused, end told him to take it
home himself. As be had bees blamed very much
and punished ter his boy., and told he ought to keep
his servants under subjection he struck Pryer across
the back with his whip, to bring him under subjection.
—The Mayor V or defence ie that you were trying
to keep one person in order, the same ea we have to
keep the whole town In order, and that our principle
is the same all yours. But then, you used corporal
punishment, you see, and we .lid not use that to you.
—Jonathan : I am • moderste man myself, and Pryer

and he is attached to our family. and I wish elin well,
and will do more for him; but what I wit do is •

, standing up for order, be Intl offended against the
order of the town by itriking Pryer, as they were
obliged to keep peace on the stand. Having regard to
the cirmmstances of the case, he would be only tined

VIOLENT IiVOLM—VACIARIZU or A " LIGET " VIENEL.
—On Sunday • brisk storm blew from the east over
Portland Roads and the district, and gave conaidere

winds cause little or so r teenage, the Roads being pro-
tected by the Portland Breakwater ; but oil Sundae
• Norwegian barque called the Atlantic. from 250 to
300 tons, was the occasion of a (peel deal of trouble
and anxiety on shore. She was hotpot to America,
and put into Portland Roads for shelter, but having
very little ballast on board, she would not stay, and
consequently au very near driving on the ground
near Ferry Bridge, but fortunately was brought up in
time to prevent her going ashore. The Commodore
steam-tug got up steam, went out, and offered assist-
ance; but this was refused, and the Commodore
returned to Weymouth Harbour. The Atlantic stood
under sail across Newt .n's Cove, intending to tack,
and get into • safer position laths R 'ads ; but in try,
ins to go about, she missed stays again, nearly off the
Nothe coastguard look-out and signal station, and
drove towards the ledges of rock, which line the roast
bare. Her anchors IMO let go, and she held on in about
five or tie fathoms of water, with two cables, about
40 fathoms each. Pil Grant went of and motioned
weletanos, and remained nu board. The Commodore
kept steam to be in ready in case she were required,
amid all that afternoon the wind continued to blow
strongly from the east; but Pilot Great and the
Norwegian captain did not alter their minds and held

was blowing dead on shore. The Weymouth comet-

Pilot Grant, it was stated by one who came ashore,
had expressed his confidence that the vessel would
ride it out ; but the coastguard remained on duty at
Ibis spot, whence the vessel's riding light cculd be
scon pot over the hind. About 11 o'clock the Wyke
rocket appetites was brought in by its crew, to the
leek-out; but the Norwegian et.ll rode at her anchors
all sight. In the early molting the wind backed to the
Nook sad the rocket apparatus was sent back to her
own station. In the morning, as soon as the telegraphic
messages were delivered, an order came from the
Meteorological Department, to the coastguard, to
hoist the north cone (point upward) thus signifying
the gals from the North,—it is to be supposed this
was the one which had been already on on some hours.
The violence of the storm tried the weenie in the

had been put there to prevent horses and vehicles

the road. Mr. Curtis mentioned the matter at the
Town Council, and enforced the necessity of the poet
being replaced, is order to prevent accident.
