Improved, and by the time advertised for the opening
ceremony, there was promise of a fair afternoon, which
must have cheered the spirits of ladies and gentlemen
both. The italic were erected by Mr. Hannah's
workmen on the Tuesday evening, and when covered
with the elegant and tasteful work of our lady friends,
who, of course, always do their work welt, the show
was both picturesque and handsome, and was will
fitted to excite the purchasing passion, which, judging
from the busy appearance of the stalls as the day wore
on, must have been somewhat large. The hall, which
is admirably adapted, both in she and adornment, for
the purpose of • bazaar was occupied with six stalls,
each of which was presided over by one or more ladies,
and all of whom seemed admirably endowed with the
necessary talents for their vocation. The first stall on
entering, which showed a large and varied assortment,
both of the "useful and ornamental," which indeed
was true of each, and where all wee so well, " com-
perison would be odious," wee presided over by Mr&
Lean and Miss Lest, who were assisted by
Mims Peach and Mims Susie Last • and, suc-
ceeding Mot and Mims Last, we noticed Mrs. Hill
and Mies Hill, and then Mrs. Howe, Mime Guppy,
and Mrs. Jeffery, whose stall completed this side 0k
the room. Beside the platform was placed a refreshment
stall, where Miss Harris and Miss Day, from Bland.
ford, admirably catered for the physical necessities,
which made their demends felt with so much business
both as to purchase and sale. On the opposite side..
noticed Mrs. Decennia's stall, which had a large
and varied sesortmene including many article" el
Continental make, which we hops had many
purchasers. Mrs. Decennia was samistul by Miss
Pearsall and Miss Durant, from London' and the
second stall, which had also been hardened by Mrs.
Devesiisk was wended over by Mrs. Homer, of
Martinslown, end by Miss Morgan, of Warminster.
The lain stall was furnished by Mrs Hannah. who
was assisted by Miss Hannah, and Miss Westbrook,
from London. At the bottom of the room we had our
friend Mr. Nerve, with his young son, endeavouring
to dispose of excellent likenesses of himself, taken by
our townsmen, Mr. Pouncy, together with other
ingenious contrivances for turning an honest penny
in charge of young Hill and young Hannah. In
addition to the stalls we had the usual accompaniments
in the shape of a "weighing machine," where the
ladies seemed to vie with the gentlemen in ascertain-
ing their weight, and where in justice it must be
said that the former frequently weighed down
the latter. We noticed how popular the
weighing machine was with the young ladies as
well as the old. We had also the ("miller "fortune
teller," and a most interesting part of the i
manta must be noted as the " art gallery," skilfully
contrived by Mr. Pouncy, the photographer, and
which wee ably conducted by several of the young
patient/on, among whom we noticed our popular friend
Mr. Jamieson, who lent his usual humour and
piquancy to the general life of the °cession.
The bazaar we should note was formally opened on
Wednesday about half.pest one, half-an-hour later
them the advertised time, owing to the unfavourable
weedier which had detained the friends who had
triad to assemble. On the platform the foot of
widish was elegantly surrounded by choice plants from
Mr. Harris's nursery, were His Worship the Mayor,
the Rev. Messrs. Alien, Atkins, (Mr. Allen's successor
as minister of the Wesleyan chapel), near°, and
Matthew Devenish, J.?. The Rev. W. Allen offered
• brief and appropriate prayer, which was succeeded
by • brief and admirable address by the Mayor, who
expressed his great gratification at being present to
epee the bazaar, which showed so elegant and tasteful
an appeal ance, and which did so much credit to the
ladies who had been instrumental in getting it up, and
whouefforts he hoped would be rewarded with • gratifiy-
ing success. He was plasma lobs present personally mad
be was also delighted to give hi. countenance, as the
chief magistrate of the borough, to so good a cum ; he
felt it was his duty t, countenance and encourage in
his official character every object and movement in the
tOWD which had for Its end the moral and intellectual,
and crispy the religious well-being of the
common ty. And next to the building of a plus of
worship for Almighty God he thought was that of
litailding suitable dwellings for God' ministers.
The people both in England and Scotland had
long observed this custom and he was glad to see
that the Nonconformists of England were beginning
to take a leaf out of their book. He hoped at the close
..f the bazaar, the friends would find that their
existing liabilities on their minister's house would be
liquidated, and that both their present minister and
his succemmors might long enjoy so suitable and
excellent a dwelling. He had now much pleasure in
declaring the banner open for the sale of the goon.
Then the work in earnest began and gradually the
purchasers made their appearance, and a considerable
business was done in the course of the af runtime. In
the evening the hall presented quite a throng in
appearance, and at the close it was found that upwards
of platy pounds had been taken which, bad weather
and all the red of it, wu felt to be "satisfactory."
The interest of the proceedinge did not flag but
rather increased with the second day, which was fur-
nished with fine weather. There woe • considerable run
in the afternoon, and in the evening, there was even a
larger attendance than on the previous. Each of the
stalls seemed to do good business, although some more
than others. The art gallery was quite popular, and the
joke taken in good part by the visitors, who listened
with grim humour to the grave descriptions of the
various pieces of art by Mr. Durant, who played his
pert successfully, and who at lust admired
the ingenuity, if their imaginations had to
waist them in conceiving the "works of art." We
omitted to notice the elegant screens and tables
furnished to the bazaar by Mr. Dean, and which
added coniiderably to the appearance of the room, and
which were universally admired. The grouping of
the figures on both screens and tables was very tune-
ful and artistic. We do not know the figure that Mr.
Dean puts on his work, but we hope he may be
tortuous in finding a purchaser. The sales went on
briskly until nine o'clock, when the attendance began
to fall off somewhat, and towards ten the summing up
took place, when it was found. to the great gratifies,
tion of all concerned, that the "takings" of the
second day had been equal, we believe, to the first; and,
altogether, we believe, we are right in raying that the
whole proceeds were not less then £125, which we
are very pleased tO record, and on which we heartily
congratulate our Congregational friends, who have
within the year purchased and, we hope, by the
aid of their bazaar, paid for their minister's honor —a
sum of upwards 000. rt Is another illustration of ths
old proverb, "Where there's a will there's a way."
Our notice of the bazaar would not be complete 11 we
did not refer with pleasure to the excellent music
discoursed by Mies Newman Mai A. Howe Miss
Dixon, Ilia' Hockey and Mies Susie Last on the
piano during the two days, and also that furnished by
the music-box, kindly lent by Mr. John Webber. It
is also very gratifying to remark thin all themes of the
community were seen among the visitors and pur-
chasers. The Congregational friends ere highly to be
congratulated on the mends of their effort, and we
trust it will only be an encouragement ti others to go
and do likewise in any similar good and worthy
undertaking.

A DORCHESTER BUTCHER OOMMITTED
TO PRISON, AND A DORSET CLERGY-

Mig'iEir-B.RELY CENSURED.

GUILDHALL Pouce-ootrar, Friday.—Before Mr.
Alderman Knight.
Easonanad Legg, described as • jobbing butcher, of
this town, appeared in answer to. summons issued
by the Commissioners of the Sewers, which charged
him with sending to the Central Meat Market, on
August 24th, two quarter' and five pieces of beef for
sale as human food, the same being diseased, unwhole-
some, and unfit for the fool of man.
[lt will be remembered that Mr. Cecil Cox, butcher,
of this town, was summoned before the borough
magistrates for having • portion of this meat upon his
premises • but the witnesses for the defence proving
that it had been taken there without Mr. Con's know-
ledge, the case was dim:dewed.]
Mr. Bayliss was for the prosecution, and briefly
stated the outlines of the cans, viz :—That is the early
part of last August the Rev. W. Hooper, of Chilfrome,
near Dorchester' had • cow which was vary ill. A
cow doctor was called in to attend it, and he doctored
it for a few days, but ultimately told the rev, settle-
man it was certain to die In calving. Mr. Hoops?,
upon that, sold the animal to • man named bowie for
£2, who having killed it and sold the hide for 10•,
dressed the carcass and sold it to the defendant for
20a., thus losing 10a, by the transaction. Legg after-
wards consigned it to a meat saleman's at London,
and it was seized and condemned by the Inspector.
Mr. Bayliss then called
Mr. W. Wyble, Inspector of the Metropolitan
Meat Market, who stated that on the 24th August be
found the beef in question had been sent from Dor-
chester to the Metropolitan Meat Market, Smithfield.
He seized it and took it down to the Guildhall, where
it was condemned by the presiding magistratete. On
the 20th of August he went to Dorchester, and in
company with Head-Constable Coward he saw the
defendant Legg, and, after cautioning him, he
admitted he sent the beef to London, which he said
he had bought of Mr. Dowell, a butcher. of Chilfrome,
for EL He said he had eaten some of it, and the
remaining portion was in salt at Mr. Cox's, another
butcher, of Dorchester. He also said that there was
nothing the matter with the meat, only film-broken.
George Read, a carman, in the employ of Mr. Frost,
agent for the London and South-Western Railway as
Dorchester, proved assisting in packing the meat at
' Mr. Hurdle's stores, Dorchester. At the time he did
so he noticed the condition of the meat, and said to
liagg—" If you send such stuff as this up to London
they'll be sending after you;" and be said ' , If they do
I s'pose I must go.
The gardener to the Rev. Mr. Hooper, of Chilfrome,
a man named Stadden, stated the cow became ill and
a cow-doctor from Toiler wee cent for. After he had
attended it three or four days the doctor advised Mr.
Hooper to have it killed, and accordingly Mr. Hooper
sent him for Dowle, and sold him the cow in hie
presence. Mr. Hooper knew the animal had a lump
In its side.

—iide—rm-an Knight here asked Legg if he had any-
thing to say.
Be replied nothing. He didn't go to look for Dowle,
but Dowle came to him. He should like to have
fowl* put in the box.
Bowls was then called, but wee so terribly
frightened that the Alderman had to direct he should
tell his own ear, It wee to the effect that he was a
butcher at Chilfrome. Mr. Hooper sent for him and
asked him to kill the cow. and he subsequently bought
it of him for £2 and took it home, where he killed it.
There was clump in its side. and when he cut it about
a quart of blood and matter flowed out. He dressed
it, and sold the carcase to Legg for CL
By the Bench: He did this because he had no
use for it himself, as he had other. meat
_there,

The magistrate asked Read if the defendant had
been in the habit of sending meat to London, and be
replied yes. frequently. Asked what sort of stuff ff
was, he said not of the bed; but he had never seen
it as bad as that before.
_ _

Mr Supt, Coward was called to speak as to the
general character of the business the defendant carried
on , but
The Alderman said he would not trouble the Head.
constable, but would give the defendant the benefit of
any doubt.
Alderman Knight said that he had had before him
many cases of sending bad meat to the London market,
but he never heard of a case of a person of position,
and supposed to be a gentleman, as he was, and •
clergyman,selling a cow to a butcher for £2. and not
Inquiring him what he meant to do with it. He
could not but think that when the Rev. Mr. Hooper
sold the c-mr to the butcher without taking the pre-
, caution of having the meat destroyed, he knew that it
would be slaughtered for human food. He (Alderman
Knight) was in hopes that as the cams proceeded the
evidence would have shown that the rev, gentleman
warn away from home, and that his gardener bad sold
It In ignorance, and that he knew nothing at all about
It; but the evidence allowed that he had negotiated
the sale himself, and sold it for the small sum of LI
to a butcher for him to sell as human food, instead
of having it destroyed by pouring creosote over
It. He regretted that they had not got the
rev, gentleman here to give some explanation
as to how it was that he came to allow such
filthy meat to be sent to market for human food.
When clergymen did not take means to prevent such
things, he was not surprised that needy men struggling
for a living should do the alma thing. He did not like
to make remarks about a person who was not
that
to give an explanation, but from tha evidence that had
been brought before him he could not come to any
other conclusion than that it was most scandalous con.
duct on the part of the clergyman. He ought to have
had a hob dug in his garden and buried it, rather than
let it have been sold to a butcher, knowing very well
that it would be dressed as sound meat, and sent into
the market as human food, If it had not been for the
participation of the clergyman in the transaction, and
the fact that it was he who was the means of leading
him into this difficulty, he would have seat him (the
defendant) to prison without a fine, but under the cir-
cumstances he would fine him the full penalty of no,
or in default three months' imprisonment He furthec
disallowed Dowle's °spines: as a vritnees.
As will be seen from. he above the Rey. Mr
Hooper as had what we may appropriately term in
connection with the transaction a iiev re "
We agree with the learned Alderman, that It Is
Mr. Hooper did not avail himself of the opportunity
to explain his sbarc of the transaction. In all proba-
bility be would have k.ut a different face upon the
matter. As it fa the public are now led to believe
that however much the reverend gentleman critically
selects the spiritual food of his people, he, per.
hays, carries • little too far the Scriptural am

&c as regards theb bodily Mr' Legg may have par-
taken of this beef, perhaps he is not very fastidious in
kis taste, and, as we all know, what may be one man's
meat would belenother man's poison, so that is no excuse,
but it Is quite evident the jobbing butcher knew he
had got a bed job unhand, and we cannot pity him.
As to Mr. Hooper we trust the lecture he has received,
deserved or otherwise, will not be lost upon him. We
(*.not believe an aged clergyman would knowingly
commit such a despicable transaction ' • but, at all
events, it ought to show him that, as it behoves a
shoemaker to stick to his last, so a Parson would be

Mr. Alderman Kaight, who tried the care, very pro-
perly intimated that he would have sent the defendant
to prison without the option of a fine had it not been
for the fact that a clergyman had participated in the
transaction. Assuming the correctnese.if the evidence

consider that of the three unscrupulous men engaged
In this disgraceful business the most culpable was the
clergyman and unless, as we have said, he can deny
the facts alleged against him, we sincerely trust his
cloth will not save him from puniahment. As the
magistrate remarked, it was a most scandalous thing
that a clergyman, who is always supposed to be a
gentleman, should sell a diseased cow to a butcher for

vendor knew perfectly well the carcase would be

called upon to clear himeell, if he can.
