THE Dourr Miuna.—On Tuesday evening the Corn-
Etchings was crowded, and the militiamen were
evidently at sore and "at home," which we regard as
the result of the arrangements being peculiarly well
adapted for affording them interest and gratdioation.
At novae o'clnek Colonel Bingham, Binh Bingham, the
Rev. K. W. Pearr and eaten' ethers were present. It

A HUTT Flee TOR • LIGHT OFFSPCI.-11r. John
Potheeary, of Weymouth, auctioneer. was summoned by
Pitgeld, for holding an amnion for the sale of
cattle, on the premiere of Semuel Gerd, on the l3rd
April, such tattle not having been on tin paid premises
28 days immediately previous, se required by the order
of the Privy Council—Mr. Potheeary said that to save
the time of the Court he would admit the charge, sub-
ject to his eip'anation. The fate of the ease were—on
the 3rd April he held aa auction of stock at Wyk* Regis.
on the premises of an outgoing tenant of Mr.
Inniflield's —Mrs. Allis, a widow, The whole of the

for convenience he removed them from Kr. Swalgeld's
Ilrld, where they had been for • fortnights woes the

hovel in Mr. Gard's premises, where the beasts
could be tied up. He could not sell them on
land where they had been for 28 days, because the
farm IVY occupied by another person. He waited
before-proceeding with the rale about • couple of hours,
and if the police-sennent had mentioned that by hold'
lag the sale he should commit • breach of the law, he
should not have proceeded, but the sergeant said not a
word, and he himself had no thought that he was doing
