ATTEMPT TO POISON FISH.

At the Shirehall on Friday, before Colonel Bingham,
Jams. Budd and Owen Oritchell, of Fordinston, were
brought up chargsi with having put chloride of lime '
into a tributary of the river Fronts, at Stinsford, with
intent to destroy fish in the river on the Iffith of April.
A man owned Charles Lock was included in the same
warrant. but he has not yet been apprehended.—Mr.
Weston appeared for the prosecutors, the Dorchester
Fishing Association, sad said be proposed only offer-
' lug sufficient evidence to justify a remand until the
Patty &IMOD@ on Saturday week—Thomas Pomeroy.
6.h keei er, said on Sunday, the 29th .4 April, about
four o'clock in the afternoon, he was on the railway
bridge at Stafford, and saw the two defendanta with
another man named Lock in a meadow on the Cams
property adjoining some land belonging to Mr. Floyer,
which was divided from the other by a small Midge.
The stream, a tributary of the From', ran through the
meadow and ran from the Came pr party into Mr.
Floyer's. The defentisiota were close to the boundary
of the two properties and just below the hedge. On
Mr. Player's side there were some shallows. Budd went
across to these shallows, got into the water and threw
three fish one after the other on the bank. US then got
on the archway under which the water ran. Critthell
also came over into Mr. Floyer's land, and went into
the direction of Gould's Coppice, which is 40 or 50
yards below the shallows, looking into the river, and
then returned to whore Budd was. Bodd got into the
shallows again and took out another fish. Critchell
also got into the water but did not succeed in catching
any fish there, but afterwards caught one near Gould'S
Coppic3 with a wire. /le beard Catchall say to Budd
" Here'. Pomeroy coming." Witness went towards
them: Budd wan in the water on the Cams side. He
(witness) said to Celt obeli " You cin't leave off this fish.
log then, Catchall ?" and he said " What fishing? You
haven't seen me catch a fish." Witness replied "Yes
I did; I saw you take out one with a wire, and I saw '
Budd take out tour fish here in the shallow." Budd,
who was near at the time, said "It's a Ile. I only
took three" He came over on to Mr. Floret's land
and took up the three fish, saying "Do you call these
four There are only three," and put them into
his pocket. Some one said " It's no use stand-
ing here. Catchall ; come on." The defendants,
with Lock, then went on in the direction of Came.
Withers went on to the C&IDO side, and, close to the
stream, picked up two pitons of paper which smelt
strongly of chloride of lime, and also five fish, two of
which were dead, and three nearly dead. They were
in the water. He found several pieces of chloride of
lime in the river—Prisoners had no questions to put to
witness, but Bodi denied Pomeroy ever spoke to him.
—Ur. H. J. Evan., chemist, Dorchester, deposal on
Sooday morning about five weeks ago be sold a
Pound of chlo, ide of lime to the prisoner Budd.—
Prieoners were remanded until the next petty sessions.

PROPOSE) TRAMWAY.

Dr. DRIW asked whether, in the event of an appli-
cation being made for a Provieional Order to construct
• tramway in Weymouth, the Council would oppeosit.
If the Council were in favour of it he was prepared
to find the capital, without any increase to the rates,
if the public did not buy no the Ames. If the CnIIIICiI
did not see their way clear to gr int this he should not
go
any farther in the in .t r. He wanted to provide
from the Dorche.ter-ro.ol into the town something of
a kind which would te city, light, and n dealer.
The MATOR .xpre.s d hone-If strongly in favour of
• tramway. Anything he could do to farther it ha
would, because he believed, in winse of the word,
it was a necessity to Weymouth. lie believed it would
da goo I t r the trviemeti, aud thou4ht it would do
g.mal to a class iI men who had not much to do at
teeisen,. He spoke of the cabmen ; people who would
not send for a cab would be enabled to do no, and
thorcfore he thought it wonld benefit the cabmen.
Alderman Lurrtug raid he had se-n the working of
tramway“ in Edinburgh and other places, and thought
it weehl be a g eel thing for Weymouth. He di•tir,t
think it would detract from the respectability of the

would not only run from the Dorchester•road to the

Sir,—Mr. T. G. Clarke sums to be in a state of
wow-unseat se to what I want to make of this Blue
Ribbon Braes Band question. Certainly be must be
very shallow in the upper region if after reading my
previous lettere he falls to discern what my object or
contention Is. Mr. C. most know; the public also
know; and, although Mr. C. may think that the
public take little or no interest in the traitor, allow
me to say they are keenly watching the progress of the
question as it goes on. Mr. C. seems to be very
anxious to know what sort ,4 a MD he has to deal
with in ms. That information be may easily gather
In Dorchester or in the eurrounding villages. lam
quite convinced what sort of man I have to deal with
by bis letter in last week's Towran. Mr. C
endeavours to evade my questions by asking me
certain others. But co, no, Mr. C.; not quite like
that • I am not so soon shaken of after haying drawn
w.f. Please deer yourself of my charges (if
possible), then I will give you my word that I will
deal with those 13 articles that comprise the furniture
of your empty room. If the asking of those 13 qres-
lions are compatible with Mr. Clarke's office as Town
Missionary, then I do indeed pity the poor heathen of
Dorchester. Allow me, In conclusion, to tell Mr.
Clarke that nothing will divert me from the questions
In point but a etraight/orwsrd reply ham him to them.

By my appointment, the duties of the Clark of the

THE RUMOURED REMOVAL OP UP WET
STATION.
To the Editor.

Sir,—Will you please allow space to call attention to
• matter of public, interest and of great impor ones to
the inhabitants of this village. During the past week
I have been requested to sign a petition to the
Director' of too Great Western Railway, imploring
them not to remove the Upwey Station.
I do not know if there le any occasion for this
appeal, but if it it the intention of those in authority
to take the station further from the village the anxiety
is very natural.
The publio are not aware of the reasons for this
contemplated change, but it will be difficult for the
most acute of the ietitioners to see that any possible
advantage can result from such removal, to the pelisS
or the company.
The diflicul,y of getting to either Dorchester or
Weymouth will be increase]. But above the question
of gain ant COOTOUiIIOOO there la that of morality. lb.
people subscribed the money to build the station, and
did it all in good faith, trusting to the honour of the
oompaay. Now, before the station be taken from
them, the company will surely do one of two
thing., either obtain the mooti.m of the subscribers to
the removal, or refund them their money so generously
given to build. But we wit. hope 'tie only rumour; or.
If more, that the directors may follow wirier counsels,
and save themselves from such • piece of insane folly.
—I am, sir.
