In under the control, not only of the Secretary of State, hat

eery far wrong in saying that there are very great
difficultim in persuading the Local Government Board to
mead children from the workhouses to thew industrial
schools. They have a notion that districts !schools are
touch better schmila being under their own guidance and
management. There is a great feeling in the county upon
the subject 1.4 far as I know, and it has been promoted by
those who desire children shall be taken out of the work-
houses and put into schools where they may be taught
industrial pursuits and removed from pauper influence—
(hear hear)—and I believe that if a school were attempted
to be established in the county from which those children
shall he excluded it will tome that support which the
great body of Boards of Guardians are ready to afford it.
This Court, if it thinks lit to take the matter up, I.
empowered to do so, and to carry it out. But, before the
-endow se-- 'member of the Court must andertake

to move something upon the matter, and the Act of
Parliament, whlcluis exceedingly strict, says, until two
months notice is given in the usual manner of all county
notices the subject is not to be taken into consideration.
Therefore I am unable to day even if I were willing, which,
I um not, to make any motion upon the subject. I have
here two or three papers to present to the court from
Wareham, Weymouth, and other places, begging the
court to take the matter into consideration. In the
Weymouth union I must not say the vote was unanimous
for there was one most influential vote against it, the
Chairman's—
Mr. GoOtormst : Not at all unanimous, I sew several
guardians afterwards who told me they did not agree with

are—four at Blendford, two at Bridport, two at Dorches-
ter, two at Wareham, four at Wimborne, and seven in
Weymouth. The Number of boys in Unions who would
be eligible for Industrial Schools is supposed to he 25: so
that altogether there are about 50 boys in this county
known as fit subjects for Industrial Schools. If we have
58 now, the probability is that when we rouse to know
more about it we shall have a great many mire. But still
it seems to me it would be very unwise to attempt to
begin with a school of more than 40 or 50. That seems to
be the number generally adopted in counties which bare
tried the experiment At the same time, whenever it
becomes a question of premiere, it would be exceedingly
unwise not to have premises that would admit of taking
larger number. We must look to the question how the
boys are to be employed, and we must also hear in mind
the number of parents who would be glad to get rid of
their troublesome sons—the waifs and strays about the
etreeb—if there is not any payment. Then we TOUst look
back to what are the costs. I had put into my hands a
few days ago • parliamentary return, which shows the
cost of paupers in every county in the kingdom. In
Dorset it is Ss. 4d, per head per weak, or .C2l 13‘. tit per
year. The cet of an Industrial School boy, according to
the return of the Inspector, is £lB 4s. 1011., a difference not
eo very much. But still there wa• a moral gain, if not a
financial one. The average cost of the boys in the *cloud
at 1.210 each would be 000. The Treasury gives 3s. kid.
per week for every boy, which equals £364 to be deducted
from the £BOO. So that supposing the county took it upon
Keen, without any payment from the Unions and parents,
At would have to lay about 4436 per year. Now we have
heard that our prisoners cost us Sr 31d. per bead, the
poet of prisoners and Unions seem to be pretty nearly the
same.

members, and to pay the same to the treasurer within 24
hours from the time of receivinrc them. He made no

SECOND COLTET, WEDNESDAT.
(Before Mr. H. WILLIAMS and Mr. A. BasizEM.
UTTERING DAD COINS.
George &cokes (40). a labourer, who could neither read
or write, was charged with uttering counterfeit coin at
Weymouth on the With of August last.
Mr. Castle prosecuted.
The prisoner went to last Weymouth Races and bought
some articles on the race course. Among these was a coin
resembling • sovereign, but which was nothing but •
counterfeit. This he afterwards passel as a good
sovereign.
Mrs. Chant, of the New Inn, Weymouth, said prisoner
wanted • bed at her mother's house, and tendered a
sovereign in payment, and she gave him the change. It
afterwards turned out to be • had one.
Eliza Lock was present when prisoner applied for a bed
at the New Inn, and saw prisoner tender what ap-
peared to be • sovereign and receive the change.
William Davis lodged at the New Inn, and was called
out of his room on the 29th of August to see • coin, which
was similar to the one produced, and he took it to Mr.
Vickery.
Supt. Vickery produced the coin in question.
George Thorne, of Puncknowle, went to Wermouth
Races with prisoner, and there saw • man selling rings
and watch chains, and he gave him and prisoner a coin
representing a sovereign. He threw his away, but wee
not sure if prisoner picked it up.
Elizabeth Arden, landlady of the New Inn, proved
prisoner coming to her house, and wanting • bed, and
also change of a sovereign. She could not change it, and
gent him to her daughter's house. On the next morning
her daughter came to her with the coin.
P.S. Apser Weymouth, proved searching Prisoner On
the 290, and he gave his name as Joseph Spracklin, on
him he found 6s. IL, and • coin similsr to • sovereign.
Mr. • the - - of Messrs. '

- Saturday,
the 6tb of October, apprehended the prisoner on the plat-
form at the Sherburne Railway Station. He called him
on one side, cautioned him, and then charged him with
stealing the articles in question. He said "Yes," and
then commenced crying, and said if he would let him go
home and see his sister he would show all the articles.
The superintendent drove them over to Lake Farm,
Thorrif ord. Prisoner and himself got out and went into
the barn. There he pulled away sonic straw from some
old machines and got out a rush basket in which were the
articles produced. He (the constable) was at the sale in
uniform. Ile saw prisoner with a cup and asked him
where he had got it from, he replied he had won it at the
Yeomanry Races at Weymouth. He was then the worse
for liquor. The prisoner stood close to the auction ring
with these cups, showing them. There were 700 to 600
people present at the sale that day. There were all sorts
of liquors for anyone who chose to drink.
The Chairman here remarked: Here Is • man staggering
drunk who goes and takes goods and carrys them about in
the sight of the people; what could have been his inten-
tion I
Mr. Templar : On the following morning he came and
took the goods away and concealed them.
The Chairman That won't get over the difficulty of
finding • first intention.
Mr. Tempter: The question is what motive he had in
hiding them.
The Chairman : Because he did not know what to do
with them.
Mr. Collins: I have a great many farmers and others ,
here to speak to his character.
The Chairman I know nothing of the young man
perronally, I know his father very well. Gentleman of
the Jury, do you believe this young man intended to steal
the cups. If not you may stop the case. If you do it can
go on.
The Foreman: We find him "Not Guilty."
The Chairman (to the prisoner): Let this he a warning
to you all your life. '1 ou are a member of a highly
respectable farmily, and you bring trouble not only upon
yourself but them, and you loose your character. What
fort a little drink. You are discharged.
Martha Stone was charged with obtaining, under f ales
pretences, • quantity of grocer's goods, the property of
Elizabeth Norman, at Bridport, with intent to defraud.
Mr. Lock prosecuted. The question seemed to be, did
she represent herself as having been sent by another
party, or did she give that party's name as a reference.
She was found not guilty.
Henry COX. (99), labourer, was charged with maliciously
inflicting grevious bodily harm upon Elizabeth Sweetland,
with an iron crook attached to his arm, at Lyme Regis, on
the 9th August, 1677.
The prisoner, It seems, was asked by the prosecutrix,
who was his landlady and who had treated him very

poor father was. he said as weU as could be expected—very '
poorly, and he would not live out the 9 months if he had
to stay theta. Ile also said he was kept at the Dirche.ter
County Gaol for the express purpose of making enquiries
into cases of false swearing. It had been sworn it was a
picklock, when it could be proved it was not. There wait
going to be a meeting on the Monday, and her father
would be liberated in three days. After be hail received the
mvereign, she walked out of doors with him. This was
about half-past seven in the eveniug. It was not dark.
Mother's cottage was not • very light house. She could
not help seeing the man's face, for she stool upend talked
to him. •
•

Crowexamined : She was quite positive prisoner was
the man. She did not say ohs never made a mistake, but.
she did not iu this case. She wouldn't wish to send an '
innocent man to prison. It was not out of pure obstinacy
that she ,tack to her statement. If she didn't think BO
she wouldn't say no. She end her mother ha 4 never
quarrelled upon the subject. They had never fallen out in
their lives. This particular evening wan rainy and not so
light as some. The man said he was going :sway bY the
train that ni,fht to fetch her uncle from Wilts. She slid
not know that if a person left Sherborne by train that
night he could not find his way bock to the Swan Inn
that same evening. She did not know that he was the mon
of a very wealthy American gentleman, or that he hod been
travelling in Africa, and had arrived in England about II
days.
If that were true, would you still stick to it that he is
the man f—l an. qoit., sure. I have male no iinstate.
My uye sight is not so bad, an I I knew him directly I
saw him. She gave the description of the man to the

Witness repeated it, and it tallied with the prisoner's
appearance—a little moustache, with whiskers down his
cheeks, and a swarthy look. After she had given this
information Abe woo taken to Crewkerne by l'.c.
Hatchings. He told her that there was a man there who
answered her description. They went to the Swan Hotel,
and the constable came out and said to her the man is
locket up in his toots. As be was talking the prisoner
came down into the yard, and she at once saill— 'That's
the man, its not the man that's locked up in his bed-
room."
Mr. James V. Lawrence. the governor of the D ,rchester
o.loi, said the pnsoner bail Ile, er been sent to Sherborne
in connection with Day's case, nor had anyone else. It
would not have been done without his knowledge.
P.C. Richard Hutchings, a const stationed at Sher-
borne. was engaged in making enquiries int , the C.C. and
deposed to his apprehension at Chard and his identiliea-
tion at Crewkerne by the witness. Mrs. Lambert. On
arc impanying him to the George Hotel, where he was
staying, he searched him and found a loaded five-chamber
revolver in his breast pocket.
Cross-examined: Mrs. Lambert had given him a des-
cription of the prisoner some days before he took him in
custody. She described him as being swarthy com-
plexioned, with a little black moustache. She did not say
if he W.. in good or had health. When he apprehended
prieoner he was in a very had state of health. She did not
describe him as speaking in a etrong American twang.
lie slid not find a brown bowler hat or coat slashed with
black braid in prisoner's portmanteau. Had heard
Americans carried revolvers about their persons.
Ile found a lot of hotel bills in the portmanteau
from Basingstoke to Chard. Had conimitticated with
most of the hotels where prisoner had been and all had
given him the character of a gentleman, although rather
eccentric. Had heard a man answering the description of
the prisoner had been drinking at the Railway Inn on the
night in question, :.nd Mrs. Major, the landlady, was
brought to see the prisoner, who, with others, were placed
in the yard, when she said prisoner was not the person
the man who came jot, her house was ruddy and broad-
shouldered. The man who was at the It tilway Inn was
smoking, but he could not find prisoner had been seen to
do no at any of the hotels where he had been stopping.
Had heard the prisoner's father was a wealthy
American, who had sent his son to England on a
pleasure tour Could not fin.l prisoner anywhere
wore such clothes HS had been described. The hat
he was wearing was a white soft one. Re-examined : Mrs.
Major could not identify the prisoner as the man who came
to her home to enquire about Day. John Dale/ff.:el.
chemist, of Sherinnie, said on Friday smile one came to
his shop and purchased a bottle of laudanum. Prisoner
was the man. He was wearing a soft felt hat at the time,
but whether black or white could not say. lie (witness)
told him the nature of the contents of the bottle, and
remarked he was not looking well, and he said he had
. come from Africa. Ile was wearing a grey coat, but it wae
not slashed with braid. Mr. Castle said if the jury would
wish to have the case stopped he would do is; if not he
was prepared with witness after witness to show mistake
' had been made. The Chairman asked the jury if they
; thoughtthere was sufficient evidence to go on with the
! case if not they were to say they wished it to
be stopped. Ile (the Chairman) p Mittel out there was no
corroboration as to the identity of the accused, and said it
was possible the witness might have made a mistake.
I Ti. jury almost immediately returned a verdict of not
guilty, and said prisoner left the Court without a stain on
his character.
The Chairman said he quite agreed with the verdict,
and was most happy to discharge prisoner from custody.
Mr. Castle soil Mr. Lagrave had been put to hundreds
of fiounslx expense: his father had come from America, its
thud he hoped the Court would make as full an allowance
for expenses as possible, and this the Chairman said
should be done.

The band played beautifully ; but they fell into the error

Edwards, M.P. for Weymouth, and Mr. Goldnee. Ml'.
for Chippenham, were presented to the Sultan this morn-
ing. The interview lasted for two hours. Mr. Layard
presented them, and the Sultan received them most
graciously. The conversation had reference chiefly to the
*Worms promised by the Sultan, which he assured hio
visitors it is his desire to carry out. Mr. E lwards having
commented on the great improvements which had ben
effected in Constantinople during the last 25 years, the
Sultan said, 'I hope that when you come here again you
will come to see me, and that I shall be able to show you
further improvements.'"
ALL our seaside places are obstinately conservative.
Our climate is (0 had that ten days out of twelve people
are unable to sit on the beach and enjoy the sea-hreezes,
because, though the sun is hot, the wind is in some
obstinately cold quarter. l'eople get under boats and
behind bathing-machines, but they cannot escape from
the treacherous blast. Why does not some one introduce
the hooded straw and wicker-work chairs they have at
Scheveningen in Holland ? These are clever adaptionn of
the old-fashioned halhporter chair. You may sit in these
with your back to the breeze and your feet in the sun, and
enjoy yourself prodigiously. In them yes are always
sheltered from the wind, no matter which way it comes.
Anybody introducing these chairs at the seaside next
summer will secure a fortune, and I make a present of the
suggestion to any bolt speculator who likes to carry out
the idea. —The Andfl.
BRINGING IN DISTRESSED FESSELS.—II was about noon
on Monday that the Commodore steam tug, with Captain
Ayles and Captain Greens, went off to the distressed
echooner, and found her about seven miles to the S.E. of
Weymouth. She had carried away her maingaff and
foreyard„ and blown away her foretopsail, her to'.garn-
sails were also in pieces, and her jib was supposed to be
split, while the vessel had a heavy list to starboard, her
cargo being apparently shifted. There was a tremendous
sea on • but by skilful management the Commodore got
hold of and brought her along. She proved to be the
Helena, of Stanraer, which had left Dieppe on the pre-
vious day for Liverpool or Runcorn with a cargo of
boulder flints. She had been caught in the gale, and
suffered the above damages, and was trying to make down
channel. On nearing the harbour they took in l'ilot
Perks, and the vessel was brought towards the port.
Large numbers of people at once crowded down to the
New Quay End, and were much interested in seeing the
wind-beaten vessel brought in safe. She grounded nearly
opposite Mr. Ayles'is ship yard, and there she still remains,
looking rather awkward there with her heavy list.—
About half-past eight at night news was received of a
steamer in distress near the Breakwater-end, and out
again went the tough Commodore, and fetched the dis-
tressed vessel from there. She was the steamer Luna,
Irons Rouen, for Dublin, with general cargo. Her case
wee serious, her wheel was broken, her bulwarks gone
fore and aft, and she had five feet of water in her. The
Commodore at once towed her towards the beach, and
beached her near Castletown, and about midnight took off
two pumps and hands to pump her, for the water was
gaining fast.
THE WRECK 01 THE FOIULST.—There is a considerable
portion of the Forest yet on the navigation channel out-
side Portland. The Trinity House of Elder Brethren have
resolved to attg tent the removal of the obstacle, and
experienced men from Calsbot, the Warner, and the Nab
lights, are here, a steam launch belonging to the Trinity
Mouse was also sent down (by rail) boat and engines
separate. The weather has, however, been so unfavour-
able that nothing had been attempted up to Tuesday Let,
and the men did not expect to be able to do anything till
neat week. The man by no means despair of being able
to accomplish what was left unfinished by the Black
Prince ironclad, with these steam launches, and an
Admiral to boot. Sons rerrons.- We are since informed, on
the highest authority, that Mr. Scow-n, of Plymouth, who
tendered £lO for the wreck of the Forest, wished un-
limited time for its removal. Captain Nisbet, It N., one
of the Elder Brethren, offered him two months instead of
one, and also a further allowance of time if bad weather
' should set in. But Mr. Scown would not agree to this
limitation of time, and Captain Nisbet went for fresh in-
structions. A special committee of the Trinity House
was summoned, and the matter was discuised but it was
considered dangerous to leave the wreck in Portland
and It w determined that Captain Nisbet should

undertake the removal, the captain being re-
quested to take what means he thought requisite. lie
has therefore arranged for the sailing tender Mer-
maid, of the Cowes district, to come down for the
accommodation of the diver and apparatus ; the
Alert, steam tender. from Penzance, with men and
other materials: and the Argus, from Milford Haven. The
Alert arrived on Tuesday night, and preliminary opera-
tions were commenced next day. To-day (Thursday) it
was intended the Argus should go, and first of all send the
diver down to see what is the state of things at the bottom,
and the next operation will be to break the wreck to
pieces, beginning at the eastern portion. The three parts
of the wreck are to be broken into smaller pieces, which
are then to be towed on the beach for sale. Then it will
be attempted to raise the &brie of the rigging, cables, &c.,
which are lying at present on or near the ground. As to
the Eirn of the wreck which previously held the ballast,
no danger is anticipated from that, or from the ballast

and probably could not even be found.

Western Company had to provide the cost of the work,

Mr. DF.!COR, Mr. WELSFORD, and Mr. LOVELL, believed
the same thing.
The MAYOR pointed out that the Great Western Com-
pany had only agreed to advance £l.OOO : but Mr. Innes's
t,nder was accepted for .£1,11.1. The Mayor considered
the town would be in tne same position at the end of six

Mr. Ronrrs thought the Great Western Railway Com-

was only a loan, and the Mayor helived that, rather than
there should be any disturbance, the Weymouth and
