what I hear from Mr. Portwen and other quarters, that

which during so long a time be has rendered to this

(sedum). Sfurfeeßeer add they had met to day in the
Memo, of their long tried sa valued wryest Mr. W.
Ffooks, the Clerk of the Peace, in oonsequenoe of ill-
beallh. and it become nemeneary to appoint • deputy.
He was ray happy to be enebled,by the powers inferred
ow him as Lwd lieutenant, to nominate • member of

Ustinguished in this isounty for diligence, talent, and
ildenty—tbe brother of the Clerk of the Peace. lie

whit be hoped would only be the temporary absence of
his brother, discharge the duties of Clerk of the Peace.
Mr. T. FFOOKS thanked his lordship for his kind
Depressions.

THE APPOINTMENT OF A COUNTY
TREASURER.
The first referee was the appointment of a Treasurer
In the room of Mr. C. B. Henning, deceased, and the
unusually large attendance of jostioes-71—indicated
Ibis considerable Interest was taken in the extra's° of
this patronage.
On the motion of Kr. H. C. 000D11111 it was resolved
Ibis the Treasurer shall enter into • bond to the amount
of £5,000 and give security to. like sum either by one
or two sureties ; further, that the salary of the Treasurer
be £lOO a year for the county stook and £5O • you for
the public stook.
Kr. GOODDIX then moved that the Treasurer be
required to keep an account in his own name at a bank,
and produce his par book to the finance eommittee at
their meetimp and to its members whenever called
upon. He thought this very important, as, otherwise,
fir Treasurer might blend the runty money with his
own, keeping only one account, and using it for his
own purposes. As to the production of the pass book,
that had never been done for the last 24 years, until
the temporary appointment of Mr. Kesel. AU that
was put before the finance oommittee was & sheet set-
ting forth the receipts and expenditure, and the balance..
The bank book bad often been shred for, but it was
never seen. At Middlesex seedoll. recently • treasurer
was appointed, under conditions similar to those he
mow proposed for this county.
Mr. H. WirwAme roonded:
The first part of the motion wsr agreed to, only two
directing.
Mr. J. OUNDRT then pointed out that the proposition
as to the bank amount would not meet the object aimed
at, as it would only refer to that portion of the
Treasurer's receipts he chose to pay into the bank, and
there was nothing to prevent the County Trimmer
from making use of the county money as had been done
before, 1,1 investing it in stooks for his private &due.
taking care to be in a position to repay it when
required. Unless it was made to apply to all the money
ha received as Treasurer the motion would be nap.

tory.
Mr. Pluses thought there was no necessity for
introducing "a bank" Into the questiou—tne Treseurer
was the banker for the county. What he thought
they should require was that the Treasurer's amount
should be accessible from day to day to any member of
the finance eommittee, and he should almost prefer for
It to be open to any member of the court. The
Treasurer gave them security, and it mattered not to
them where be kept the money.
Kt. GOODDILE said the Treasurer must keep his money
Si • bank.
Mr. Wittwis : The resolution does not say he shall
ay it in.
It was then agreed to amend the motion to the fol-
lowing effect : That the Traisarer shall keep an account
with • bank in his owe name, and that all monies
received by him in virtue of his office shall be paid into
snob bank, and to his accounts as Treasurer.
The motion was carried with one dissentient.
The election of • Treasurer then took place. There
were four candidates: Mr. (1. .1. Andrews, solicitor ;
Kr. E. Barnett, solicitor ; and Mr. Charles Keats, all
of Dominator an • d Mr. Hussey, of Lyme Regis.
Cards having the names of the four candidates printed
upon them were provided, and soca magistrate wee
supplied with one, and requested lo pat his initials
against the name of the candidate he voted for, and
his signature at the fool.
On the first voting the numbers were—Keats, ;
Andrews, 21; Hussey, 11; Burnett, 5.
The vote was then taken for selection from the two
first on the poU, and resulted as follows :
Keats . . . .
Andrews ...

Majority for Seats 11
Kr. Seale was then called in, and the DEPUTY.
MAHWAH said: I hare the pleasure of informing you
on behalf of the court that you are elected County
Treasurer; and, from what we know of your buboes
habits, and the long experience you have had in the
duties of tho office, we have reason to believe the
county will hive In you an efficient and able public
• ce r—(i pplaute).
M. KEATS I My lords and gentlemen, I return you
my sincere and grateful thanks for your kindness—
(applause).
After this the court was considerably thinned, end
the ordinary Usualness was proceeded with.
00IIIITT GAOL.
CaptslOeTU read the visiting justices' report.
Mr. Inspector of prism for this distriet, in-
spected the prison on the 21st September. He directed his
7cretiattention to the alterations in the out and west
the upper calls of which are now being enclosed,
with which he expressed himseff quite satisfied, and
Intimated his willingness, when they were completed,
to come down and certify them. The committals this
qnarter showed • decrease of 54. Disbursements

The maintenance cost however is Increased aci. per
heed per week. £l2 15s. has been received for the
stowage manure of the prison this quarter. A little boy
named Henry Dave, in accordance with the sentence
named on him at his conviction, received Mx strokes
with a birch rod in the presence of the surgeon,
governor, he.
Mr. FLOTES considered the report very 'stiffs:tory,
and he thought they were much indebted to the slatting Julius for the stand they made against what see
to be some unnecessary requirements in regard to the
:Who: arrangements now being carried out involving
bly less expense than was at first anticipated,
owing to the steps taken by the visiting justices.
The report was adopted.
THE CHAPLAIN'S REPORT
Stated that there had been • diminution in the nem-
ber of persons committed for vagrancy, felony, poach-
ing, kn.; the increase had been in cases of seagulls,

tended any school, while 2,139 could neither reed nor

Creed nor the Lord's Prayer, 2,494 the Lord's Prayer

concluded that the Moreau of the opportunities for ob-
taining early eduction will have very little effect in
