TLia MAYOR then aprodmed the subscription book,
and the subscriptions were entered by Mr. Grove', who
was elected hon. secretary.
Mr. G. It. OIICKYLT urged that the inhabitints
should undertake this matter independently, and not
pomp the members.
Daring the gathering of subscriptions ME i Reynolds
and Mr. Targett promised to bring the matter before
the Great Western and South-Western directors
respectively.
Mr. GROVIA thought we should endeavour to bring
-visitors earlier in the year; but
The ILATOR said the looming year is rather excep-
tional: we shall have considerable works on baud, and
he did not think it best to bring • number of visitors
hare while those works are being done. He was not

JURY ON THE POSTMASTER'S AFFAIRS.
An enquiry has bow held al the Royal Hotel,
Portland, Wore This. Coombs, Req., under-sheriff
of Dorset, into the estate of the late postinuter. George
Harvey.

-
The following were the jury empanelled :—Mr. R.
lan°, foreman, Mr. It Cox' Mr. B. Collin's, Mr. S. W.
Kendall, Mr. W. Osborne, jun., Mr. 11. Russell, Mr.
R. Comhen, Mr. R. B. Heriven, Mr. T. 'Arlo Atcwooll.
Mr. W. Cowben, son., Mr. W. H. South, and Mr. 11.
Cosset.

The writ wag first read by Mr„ Coombs; it stated
that George Harvey owed the Crown £273 as. lid., and
directed the seizure and imprisonment of the said George
Harvey, and an enquiry.
Mr. Coombe said the duty of the jury would be to
enquiro what lands and tenements, and of what yearly
value George Harvey has in the County of Dorset. He
beleived there were none of whieh he la known to be
possessed, and they were then to enquire what goods
and chattels are his, in whose hands they are, and
what is the value. The enquiry had been postponed in
the hope that some arrangement would have been
made, to save expense; but that appeared to have
fallen through, and he was obliged to bring them there
to.day. T o solicitor to the Treasury would have
bran pre.,ent had this been thought a matter of
sufficient importtnee. Mr. Coombs then called the
following evidenoe . . .

Dr. Mooithirsp read the nudical report elich
showed that 677 out-patients and 41 in-pstirnt, had
been under treatment during tho year. The doctor
remarked that there is • decrease in the number of out.
pathnts, which he believed is attributable to the com-
parative healthiness of the town during thl prevalence
of smallpox. Weymouth was never htalthr:r In other
respects than during that epidemic, which then took
limo place of almost all other diseases.
Mr. G. aim then read the financial report, witch
showed II deficit of about £42.

John 'Poster, ofiloer to the sheriff of Dorset, said that
In paramecia of the writ just read, he levied on the
goods of George Harvey, on Thursday, 28th October.
lio was then postmaster at Portland, and • druggist, in
Fortunp's Well. Witness could not And him, and his
wife said he had gone away. Took possession of the
howiebuld goods and furniture, and seised the druggist
stock in trade. The inventory be produced, as • true
one of ths household goods and stock.in•trado, He
also took possession of the trade books. The inventory
wu looked over by the Under•sheriff, who said that
there were goods well enough to sell over the counter;
but they might not fetch mitoh in bulk. Anic ng the
Items were 120 feeding betties, and there was some fun
among the jury by speoulations as to who would want
them.

In answer to enquiries,
Mr. GROVID said the profit of the small advertise-
ments would belong to thaoommittee, and Mr. HOWARD
rot I the e,r,yright of the pictures would belong to
Dlissrs. Smith.
Mr. it. Damox was In favour of the committee
obtsining the copyright, then a large portion of the out.
lay would be met by getting subscribers and selling the
pictures: there Is always a great demand for good views
of Weymouth, and the copyright will be valuable
property.
The MiTon had crumired luta the out of furnishing
rue own adytrtlsidg frames, and paying Messrs. Smith
lb e t 1,119 for hanging tl.em ; but it was found
that to pay £2.00 a year for See Jeers, and Include all
expenses would be the cheapest of the two.
Mr. CRICKMAT had no doubt the committee could
buy the copyright.
In answer to Mr. Annorr, the BIATOR said the um.
mittee would select their own stations, they would put
frames at the Crystal Palace and the principal metro.
politan stations.
Mr. VIRTUE : And In the inland towns.
Mr. R. Danom continued that Messrs. Smith will
exhibit any advertisements, and we are quite at liberty
to prepare a picture and pay for it on the usual terms
for exhibiting. He would not lose sight of the fact that
the copyright will always be a considerable property.
Mr. CRICKWAY &liked If it would meet Mr. Damon's
views to enquire on what terms Messrs. Smith would
supply extra copies?
Mr. DAMON said that persons In business send their
own advertisements to be exhibited, and why cannot
we?
Mr. HOWARD said he had made enquiries, for his
Idea was that there would be large margin for views of
the principal hotels, and Messrs. Smith stipulated for
taking their own views.
Mr. CRICRMAT ream kNI thrr, would be a maiden
I able ILmi for keeping thin in repair, if we sent our

Mr. ARDIN remarked that they had never been so
badly off berme, the church collections were consider.
ably less, and they had not received anything from the
chapels. Out of a population of more than 10,1XXI
the Infirmary has only 12.5 subscribers.
The Maros thought it should he notiml that the
receipts for the current year have fallen considerably
below the expenditure, and the committee ore most
anxious to receive the names of new subecrib, rm. lie
believed the reason why the fan& have diminished Is
Immense people have not been raked to give; if thy were
makod, people would give liberally; His worship fur-
ther said it la most Important that when the Infirmary

obtained.
_ _ _

Comben and Mr. Smith sald that Harvey had •
house in Fortune's Wall; but the Under-sheriff said
that if the mortgage were paid off, any one might
tak 1 Oat) holm,. He did not think they woribi get any
evidenca about the hone/J.—From the books the amount
of debts, u far as oould be ascertained, was L'77 4s 2i 1.
John Foster, sou of the lest witness, and militant to
his father, said that from Information he received, he
applied to Mrs. Harvey as to • gold watch and earrings,
and she said the watch was with Mr. T. H. Crocker;
she had handed them to him about a hour after wit-
nose's father took poessession. Mn. Harrey pre witness
an authority to Mr. Crocker, to hand him the watch,
and witness applied for it, and be admitted having the
watch and earring,; but "You don't blame me ;
they owe me money, and I shall stick to them." Wit-
ness told him he had no right to them after the bailiffs
were in possession; but he refused to give them up, and
still does refuse:
The Under-sheriff made an enquiry about the house,
and Mr. Collins said they andentood there was £270
advanced on it by the Bidding Society, beside
Interest.
_ _ _

Mr, DIVX4IBII noticed that the deficit Is greatly
accounced tor by the diminution in the collo:thins at
the places of worship. At St. Mary's church this year
was collected £26 ; but last year the amount was
£49 ; at St. John's this year £2l was collected ; but
last year it was £35 16. 6d. while there are no ohspel
solloctions;

Dr. MOORHEAD thought the decline might be act
down to the badness of the IMMO.

—iieiiii-oa-714-Li.tl;;lc it right that through the
eatabilahmeut of the offertory, the local charitUs
should suffer.

—iir:Reirmas said he knew the house was mortgaged,
and the mortgage and oasts are beyond the value.
Mr. T. H. Crocker was called, bet said he was not
prepard to give up the watch and earrings,
The Under-sheriff told Mr. Croaker that the evidence
would have to be sent up to the Treasury, and he need
not give any 1111181 s he choose; but if he tendered any,
it would be taken.
Mr. Crocker said that be preferred to give hre evi-
dence, and deposed that he was clerk to Mr. Howard.
Witness had • gold welch and pair of earrls,
apparently gold, belonging to Mrs. Harvey, and handed
to him by her. About haliquist 12 on the day Mr.
Foster came into peuesalon, he went to the house to
put in an execution for rent. Mn. Harvey said she
was surprised he should some on nal • business, as he
and Harvey had been such friends. She .aid her bus
-
band would be beck next day, and begged him to defer
the execution, which he did. Abont a hour and a
half, or two hours alter. she sent for him, and informed
him that the "Government officials" were in poserion.
Witness said be eonsidered he bad been "cold ; but,
as the rent was sure, be must have some security for
the debt due to him, also the debt owing to Mr.
Howard, and bin amount for the gas. This debt to
Muses was for work and labour, and for rates,which he
promised to square up for in the mouth of November.
Witness had paid the rate-oollect3r for thou rates.
For his gas account Harvey gave a bill for about £l2 or
£l4, and there was also • private debt due to Mr.
Howard. The bill was made payable to the gas cam-
piny at their banker,; but it has never been met, nor
Lad witness been paid his debt. Mrs. Harvey bad the
watch on a guard round her neck, and the earrings in
• cue in her pocket, and she banded him the watch
and earrings, also a bill ruelpted by Harvey about •
fortnight before he went away. This was an amount
against Mr. Ward for about Ell, and she said she had
no money to go to Weymouth, and wished him to get
the money for her. She was crying at the time, and
stated she was left in great distress, and witness went
to Mr i Ward, who promised to pay on the Saturday ;
but did not. In the morning she sent up to know if
Mr. Ward had paid the money, and he returned • note
that he had not. She rent up in the evening to say
that if Mr. Ward had not paid, she must have the
watch and earrings returned, u sbe had no means of
going away. He knew nothing about It, until on
Saturday Foster demanded the watch and earring.;
but Foster did not produce any authority, and he de-
clined to give them up, as be considered they were
given to him under pressure, and were the personal
paraphernalia of the wife, and that she was entitled to
dispose of them as she thought proper. The receipt
for Ward's bill he had at borne, and had no objection
to give that up. He also stated that Mrs. Harvey gave
him an account, unreeeipted, against Mr. Hodder for

Rev. J: STEPROLSoII suggested that as tlio &kilt
arose from falling off In the collections, the committee
should try to get oollectioes from all the aura:es and
chapels In the town.
Rev. R. HEADLAND supposed the idea of an hospital
Sunday was that It should be an annual thirg.
Mr. ARDEN said they hare a regulu hospital day at
Birmingham. Torquay, and other places, end collect
large amounts.
Rev. J. bIEPLIENSoN proposed "That endeavours
be made to establish an annual hospital Sunday, to
have sermons preached In all the churches and chapels
in Sala town and the neighbourhood, for the benefit
of oar local hospital."
Rev. J. ADDISoN seconded.
Mr. G. Etter suggested that the Sunday be axed
at the next committee meeting ;If they left it vaguely
the matter would be loot debt of.
Dr. Moorhead remarked that there bad fertunately
been very few accidents of late ; the iefirmary bad not
been overburdened with accidents fora broth of time.
As to the fonds tie last wu quite an one 'cal jeer.
U. DEVJUILMIL suggested that the subject b. left

The Maven said they wished to publish t'
resort, and would not have such an opperturity for
bringing the matter before the public,
Mr. ARDIS would see that the two did no' ela.b.
Mr. Ce. ELAYT proposed that Mr. Arden to I pow, red
to flx an hospital Sunday to offer to the minirte is of
the various churches and olumels--aome Sunday in
August or September.
Mr. ARDEN did not think he could take it out of the
ehiegymen's hands.
Rev. J. Unities proposed the drd Sunday in July.
Bev. E. litantoaren thought it should he the led
lianday In August.
Rev. J. Sritritumes said If they wanted to succeed
in Weymouth, they would keep clear of Aw„uat and
September, for there were a great many thine,a fixed
for some time in those months.
Dr. Mooluman : That looks very much m if those
mai& were the best.
Mr. Mims thought our hospital should have Use beat
&ma for oollections.
Bev. J. STIPLIELLISON said he was quite nady to give
• sermon in August or September ; but to °train
ipmeral success in Weymouth they should fix aro!l Cr
month. _

The MAYOR said the first question was "Is it
desirable to advertise the town r
Mr. VIIICENT did not think there was much doubt
about that.
Mr. LUNDY; men., rose and said the first question
before the meeting is this " Is it desirable that snob •
plan, or something similar to the plan before us, shall
he adopted r As far as the present meeting is con-
cert ed there is scare, ly any difference of opinion. We
al I. el that Weymouth is leas known according to its
merits, than it ought, and the plan adopted by all men
of hnitsess in advertising seems the most useful, and in
fact the only f. sail& way, to bring Weymouth more
geuerary before those who would vialt us, and for whom
a watering place is especially desirable. The old story,

vielte,and repetition of visits from one season to another,
pence that Weymouth is estimated by many far
beyond what we have any conception of; but the
infieence is but local and limited. Looking at
the Tallow arrangemeuts in the town, the htehs
and }mews of business, accommodation for bathing, the
club- establithed here, the opportunity of enjoyment

attractions of the place,the neighbourhood of the Wind

Some complain that we have not houses of the larger

THE TICHHORN3 CASE.
The long croarezamanatice of Mr. Balgent. solicitor,
and one of the prince* witness!' for the claimant, bns
created unusual interest. At OM thno Mr. Hawkins
bantered him upon the retentiveness of his m miry,
when Mr. Itsigent replied, "1 &sliest I shall uot hts.e
niaoh of m memory of may kiwi when I get out ol this
boa. I think the rack and thucirowew and seav ,ng.
daughter are nothing to this." Mr. Ilawkins—" Whst
hae that to do with your being in the witness-boi?'
Balgent—" Well, the racking of the mind is worse
than the racking of the limbo." Mr. Havkims—Rere Is

Now this is what the opposition have allege said—
that they were indebted to Sr lt,get's own ansiety to
find the Ortons out, and toes them, giving them tt e
clue to who he WAS in reality." WAS that your opinion
_

then ?—Ye.
Charles Orton, the brother of Arthur, is also
mentioned in the letter. Where is be now ?—I do not
know. I made no inquires about him. I saw him
at Mr floime's ones, and then I heard Mk t Mr.
Bowker had been to him.
The learned counsel read another letter from
Baigent to Rouse, dated Jane 13. 180-
I do hope you will do your best to persuade Sir
Roger and Ltd, Tiehborne to go to maim to-morrow at
Tiehborne. If they reach the church at half-past 10 it
will be pl,nty soon enough. Do try and got them to
co. Urge It ea much as you can. There ere two or
three reports about to-day. The latest is that the
defendants are determined to press the plaintiff to
trial, and will not let him dally with the Gale any
longer II!II I
Mr. tiawkins--81.1 notes of admiration! (Laughter.)

You desired the publican and sinner to go to churida.
—Yes. (Laughter.) Oh, no; I did not mean that.
Roger Tiohborne was • good Catholic, and under.
stood Catholic ezpressions, I suppose—Yes.
And you understood them pretty well? —Yes.
Was your attention called by Rouse to the expromion
in the plaintr's letter written from Sydney to
Tiohborne, dated the 2411 July, 1866 —"Good bye,
my doer Mama. may the Blessed Maria have mercy on
your Notalr—Yes, I lammed very often at it.

Da you seriously mean that, Mr. Balgent ? —Yes.
That it was not • startling expression from a good

Was it "just like Roger" to my that ?—Yes, " ja,t

they muskier there is nothing wrong in it.
Do you understand it ?—There is nothing wrong
about it.
Mr. Hawkins—Why, then, did you laugh at it ?
The curious way in which he put It, as if it were
being said to a prisoner on the day of his desta
—"Hive mercy on your soul— (laughter).
But that has happened to you—(laughter).
However, you thought that was • laughing matter.
Now, you enjoined the plaintiff to go to church. Was
it under your advice be wrote • letter of the !i-oh
September, 1867 :—I play Girl in His groat mercy will
forgive the wicked people se hid p•rsuasie,l thee • poor
tailors to psrgure themselves"—(larighter). i niver
heard that.
Was it you who advised him to be resigned (looting
from letter of the plaintiff of 3rd August, 1867) :
" Considering that I loose my eatates. I may leo re-
warded in heaven" ?—(hinghter.)—No; I had nothing
to do with that.
The Judge asked Bodeen% Ballantine whether he
could form any idea respecting the probable length of
the plaintiff's ChM. The learned counsel replied that be
could not pledge himself to conclude by the time the
Court rose for the Christmas holidays on Friday, 22nd
Inst. ; if not he should proceed with it on the first (14
of Hilary Term,
On Friday Mr. &karst frequently oompleined of the
way in which the letters were read by Mr. Hawkins,
and of the "dramatic effect" that be gave to them, lie
also added that every Friday the learned counsel seemed
to be more 'bestial and jocose than on any other day.
Mr. Hawkins: That is because I am Doming to an
ud, you know—(a laugh.)
Witness: Oh. no. It warn the same last Friday.
Mr. Hawkins: When did you first hear of the plain.
tiff going to tWapplagl—The latter end of 1867.
When you taxed him with it, did he say he did not
know where Wapping was P—l believe he did. I never
heard him say that if it could be proved that he had
gone to Wapping he would give up his claim to the
estate, He did not say this to me or to Mr. Huggins in
my bearing. I heard nothing of the kind.
He told you he had not been to Wepping ?—Yee.
He did not with to be bothered about it—(a laugh.) I
toll him ho had been there, and I thiuk Lo t.,11 oi
once he had not been there.
The Lord Chief Justice: Did you believe him ?—I

Mr. Hawkins: Did yea believe he told you the
truth ?—I could net have sworn that he told an untruth,
but my Impression was that be had been there.

Why, he had been in low neighbourhoods ! lie had

in the colonise, where they lead a kind of gipay life.
Just previous to the adjournment, while Chief
Jostles &will was asking some questions of the witness,
an observation was made in a low tome by the Attorney.
General to Mr. Berjeant B•Uantine, when the learned
aerjsant interposed in the conversation by the observe.
" The Chief Justice is cross-examining the
witness." . _

...
The Lord Chief Justice overheard the observation,
and immediately interposed—" That lii most improper
observation." . .

Mr. Se:leant BalLatins: I oannot recall it—(Demon-
titration of apples:Ds from one quarter of the court.)
The Lord Chief Justice That was a moot improper
observation.
Mr. Eierjeant Ballantine : The Attorney-General
made an observatioa, sad I made one, which were not
intended to reach your lordahip's ear, but as it has been
beard I cannot retract it.
The Lord Chief Justice: A will was made fall of
misstatements of every kind. Ills admitted that it
was done for strand:gent purpose, and it is my duty to
do whit I win to unravel the mystery.
Mr. Berjeant Ballantine :It occurred to my mind, and
also to that of my learned friend, that during so severe
and searching a cross-examination of Mr. Hawkins, it
is almost impossible for the witness to keep his mind
clear if your lordship carries on an examination con-
temporaneously. I make this observation with all
respect, and only from • sense of dutT.
The Lord Chief Justice: Mr. Hawkins was going to
another point, and I was desirous to put certain ques-
tions to Mr. &agent. The difficulty I have had
throughout his examination has been to take down
intelligible answers to questions, as it is most difficult
to catch thorn aright. Any further observations I may
have to make on the subjeet I shall reserve tilts future
ocioasion.
Mr. Serjeant Ballantine I unwillingly and uninten-
tionally expressed • feeling that his passed through
my mind for some time.
The Court adjourned all four o'clock, till Monday
morning.
