UNREGISTERED MILS•SELLERS.
The Liberal papers are disposed to find fault with
the Dorset magistrates for inflicting a fine on the Rev.
J. Roper, of Puddkhinton, for declining to register
as a purveyor of milk, the MS', gentleman's objection
being that, u a clergyman, it was not correct for him
to act as a tradesman.

Eat) soya :
' The case Ls a peculiar one. The rev. gentleman had
an" MCI. and to his ',midsection it is mid to have been
• vest limn that he should ham sold Use milk to them at
mrea q mart. But the polire requested him to mega,
d:el I nod, saying a clergyman must not carry on •
toads. The case was explained to the Clerk of the Pesos
and to the Privy Council; and the latter declared that:,
" in the CirCUDIA•IIO9I detailed.- he wee not • purveLoi
and need not register. But the police. neretthe
monscosod him; the magistrates took a different view
the law from the Privy Council, awl accordingly indicted
• nominal fins The case will be appea!ed. and it la
undentood the decision will affect several other
clergyman who act in • precisely similar way.'
The Day News delivers itself thus :

'The Mantraps Order iseued some time ago by the
Privy Council is having some unexpected results in the
rand districts 111. very often dilt to get milk in the
country at all, and it seems that • country clergymen
may not sell • little to his neighbours without registering
himself as dealer. Such at legt is the decision of the
magistrates at Dorchester in the cafe of Mr. Roper, of
Padathinton. Mr. Roper was summoned before these
gentlemen for infringing the order in Douai!, which
that all purveyors of milk shall be registered. It
appeared that the defendant had been in the habit of
=Miring his parishioners with milk, at the price of fair-
goer a quart, but that he objected to being registered
as • trader on the ground that a clergyman must
oot carry on • trade. Mr. Roper was in this respect
undoubtedly right, for by an Act of 1)0E1 no " spiritual
parent" may engage in business except on ghat of a
larger number of partners than rax, or in continuance of
a commercial undertaking, the profits of which he has
acquired by inheritance or bequest Moreover, Mr.
Row wee able to adduce on his own behalf the authority
of the very body whoa regulations he was charged with
Infringing, fa he had written to the Privy Council. and
received • reply that. "In the circumntances detailed," he
need not register. The Clerk of the Peace. a respectable
If less exalted authority, told Mr. Roper he could "sell
csocasiceally to oblige anybody," which, thus fortified,
Mr. Row proceeded to do. The magistrates have
unfortunately not felt themselves able to adopt this
reasonable view of the law, and they have fined Mr. Koper
a shilling, though they have not ordered him to pay the
costs of the summons. Notice of appeal has teen given,
and it in to be bored that the whole subject may be recon.
Wend. A number of burdensome and foolish restraints
on bade have been abolished of late years, but that •
clergymen should be unable to *bliss his poorer neigh-
bours, by selling them cheep and fresh milk, seems to be
the height of absurdity. We believe it has always been
legal to sell milk publicly on Sundays, and the same
favour shown to that commodity by the Lord's Day
Observance Act of Charles 11. might well be extended to
It by the Privy Council.'

It Is perfectly true that thc clergymen who re-
fused to Join the Co-operative attack upon tradesmen
have the approval of all right-minded people ; but when
a reverend gentleman does a certain thing and takes
the money for it, it looks rather like straining at a gnat
after the gulping of a larger animal, if he be punctilious
against acknowledging his own practice. A successor,
we presume, of Paul the Apostle, even Mr. Roper's
spiritual chief might be proud to be, yet Paul's historian
was not afraid to " register " him thus: "And because
he was of the time craft, he abode with them, and
wrought : for by thrir occupation they were tent-makers."
A good deal of mechanical and tradesmanlike ability
would perhaps be lost to the nation were the clergy
prevented from practising any but spiritual pursuits,
Nome are evidently qualified as dress and mantle makers,
ant: Importers of the fashions even from R 01144 while
in our own county town one is most widely known by
his contributions to sanitary science. Mr. Roper him-
self does not stem to have sinned against the laws of
trade, seeing he did not undersell his fellow milk-sellers.
The objection seems to be a very abstract one, unless
It was produced by the Act of 1838, and in that case
the Act might fairly be repealed, or amended so that
any profit acquired by clergymen, especially those
by the State establishment lifted above all fears of want
such as oppress their flock—should be kept account of
and devoted towards the relief of the poor. As to
the other parties dragged in by the Daily Neil, they
do not seem to require criticism in this case. The
Clerk of the Peace doubtless would not give legal
advice gratis, and an examination of his answer shows
he gave no such advice ; of course, %would be
impertinent to expect any branch of the high and
mighty rulers by whom we are at present governed, to
be controlled by the rules of consistency or even to
understand their own intentions, while that the
magistrates were not peculiarly hard on the Rev. M.
Roper is shown by the fact that in the second week of
May last, the Dorchester (division) magistrates dealt
much more severely with Mr. George Whitty, of
Maiden Newton, who understood from an answer
given to Mr. Read that he was not liable. Mr.
Whiny only kept one cow,
_sok' about a shilling's-
worth a day (we are informed at 3d., or id. per quart
less than the Rev. Mr. Roper), and also gave away.
Unlucky Mr. Whiny was fined one pound and costs,
for selling part of the milk of one cow (it is said) at
the really charitable price of 3d., while the Rev. Mr.
Roper, who goes in for seven cows, and charged ed.
per quart, was only nominally fined—in one shilling
—and escaped costs. We cannot see any cau.e for
finding fault with the application, to the clergymen
eslowed by the Statcol regulations which have been
made to press so hardly upon the men tithe-wed for
their support.
