it were in considerable danger. Through the
exertions of the firemen, however, these were pre-
served, and the are was extinguished very speedily.
The house was burnt through, although the
walls remained standing. A portion of the
furniture, belonging to the occupier, Mr. Roberts, was
saved, but in the removal it was much damaged.
The Rev. G. De Starch and Miss De Starch had not
anthcent time to draw themselves, and not a vestige
of their property was rived. The rev. gentleman
was uninsured, and therefore his loss will be greet.
Mr. Roberts is insured in the Lencaahire Fire Office
for £6OO, but this will barely cover the damage done.
The house belonged to Dr. Finch, sad was insured
in the Union Office for £1,500. The are is sup-
posed to have originated from some defect in the
Moe of the brewhotne, which had been used on the
previous day. Several members of the City Police,
under Sergeant White, were in attendance, and ren-
dered good 110tTi00. A committee had been appointed
to nine subscriptions to meet the lore which the
Ray. G. De Starch has sustained. Subscriptions
will be remised by the treasurer to the fund, the
Rev. J. McDowell.

Melberg will perform for the last time in the city,
previous to his retiring from the profession. He
will be assisted by Mime Aylward, Mr. H. Blagrove,

SZLLINO BC= ON SITADAT DIMLY° PROIMOTID
Hooka—Joseph Nevis, landlord of the Ship baw-
ls:mu Wiothesterearese, wan aninerioned by the
polio* for selling beer before one o'clock on Sun-
day morning be sth inetio—Frosa the evidence of
Sergeant White it appeared that abut II o'clock on
the morning in question he saw a man enter the
house. He followed him, and in • back-room, he
friend four men and two women with beer before
them—The defendant, in antiwar to the officer, said
the men were lodgers. —The defence now set up was
that he had given the men a pint of beer to eat with
their bread and cheese, as there was no hot water
to make tea. Two of the men were called who cor-
roborated this evidence.—Mr. Callow, in answer to
the Bench, said he had received many complaints
, from the inhabitants as to the manner in which the
house was conducted, and the Bench fined the de-
fendant 20s. and expenses.
Courrr Pam Bmenows, Tuesday. —Before Via-
, want Folkestone, Sir F. H. Bathurst, Bart., Limit •
General Buckley, M. IL Marsh, Eaq., ILP.,
T. E. Fowl., E. Hinxman, and E. A. Ferryman,
Eireracerve Wmogra—Dr. Henry Southby,
proprietor of the Durrington psper-milla, was
summoned by Superintendent Matthews, In-
spector of Weights and Measurer, for having
In his poweesion 15 defective weights. —The
superintendent stated that when he was appointed
to the office, he sent round notices to every trader in
the division requesting them to call upon him on a
certain day, and have their weights adjusted, as be
was anxious not to take say advantage of them.
That notice had been received by the defendant's
foreman, but the weights were not sent for re-
adjustment.—The defendant's foreman said he was
not aware that the weights were deficient. They
had been recently purchased, and &considered them
correct —The weights were tested by the superin-
teadent, and they were found to be deficient in
weight —Lord Folkestone said • separate summons
should have been taken out for each weight, which
would render the defendant liable to a penalty of
£7s.—The Bench did not believe that the weights
had in any way been tampered with, but they should
convict him for not having attended with his weights
after be bad received notice from the officer. He
would be mulcted in the penalty of £5 and costs, and
the weights would be forfeited.
Wm. Parker, shopkeeper, of Durringkm, wan
summoned by the superintendent for • similar
offence. The weights, six in number, ranged from
halta-drachm to two drachms short each, according
to the standard weight.. The defendant mid his
wife kept a little shop, and he had no idea the
weights were deficient They were purchased of
Mr. Ferman, of Salisbury, a abort time einem be-
lieving them to be correct —Mr. Matthews said he
was of opinion that the defendant's Wife bad fre-
quently washed the weights, being &Wrong of keep-
ing them clean, and that he thought was the cause
of the deficiency.—The Chairman said the Bench
considered the offence more accidental than inten.
Sone!, and taking all the circumstances into con-
sideration, they would only fine him £2 and coats,
the weights to be forfeited.
Harry Dyer, of Winterbortie Stoke, was summoned
for having nine light weights in his posesenion. The
vicar of the pariah, the ?ter. C. Lawford, said he
had known the defendant for some years, and be
was of opinion that it was an act of carelessues
and not of intention.—Lord Folkestone recom-
mended the defendant in future to send the weights
to the superintendent for re-adjustment whenever
be sent • notice—The Bench would in this case
mitigate the penalty to 20e. and expenses.
Masora Henry and James Maslen, millers and
bakers, residing at Shrewton, were summoned for
having three 56Iba , two 281ba , and one 21ba. weights
defective in their poesession.—Mr. R. M. Wilson
appeared for the defendants.—The superintendent
stated that on the 31st of July he examined the de-
fendants' weight., and he found almost the whole of
them dedcient. The 21ba weight was in the shop,
but the half cwt.. were in the store-room, near the
sonles.-16r. Wikon inquired when the imperial
stendard in posasmionof the officer had been adjusted.
—Mr. Matthews replied in 1869.—Mr. Wilson said
the Act required that the weights should be adjusted
coos in every five ream—Mr. Matthews mid that
they had been tested within the required time.—
Mr. Wilson took exception to this, but the magistrates
said they were of opinion that the weight. and scales
in the poseession of the superintendent were correct.
—Mr. Wilson mid that being the cue he might say
on behalf of the defendank that they were very sorry
that the weights were defective. They were highly
respeotable men, and had had contracts for bread
at the Amesbury Union. Their bread had never
been complained ;on the contrary, it had been
reported as of the very best quality and weight
They had repeatedly sent their weights to the late
inspector, Mr. Beach for inspeation • and when they
received the notice imen Mr. Superintendent Mat-
thews, they did not think they were in any way
defective.—The superintendent stated that upon
those weights complained of there wee no stamp
whatever, and it was hardly likely that an inspector
would examine them without stamping them. Be
could have summoned them for having unstamped
weilihts in their possession, but that he bad not
dom.—Lord Folkestone said the Bench regretted to
see respectable men summoned before them for such
effenom It would, be thought, be much better it
they were to have them adjusted frequently rather
than subject themselves to such an exposure, as •
conviction in such MON must necessarily abed ask
character. The Bench must make an example is
such oases, and they fined them .65 and the expense,
and ordered the wile& to be forfeited.

for £24 12a. 6d. for lodging. The plaintiff
keeps a refreshmeat house at Fiahsrtcn, and the
defendant, who is a gentleman, lodged at her boom
with a lady for several weeks during the months of
A.gunii, September, said tneeetne UM rear. —His
Honor said the dekindsnt had paid 12 into Court,
which must be deducted from the claim, but the
balance was disputed by the defendant. From that
sum must be deducted four guineas, for this reason
that several dinners, for which she had charged had
never been partaken of by Mrs. Wallis. The plaintiff
had stated that Mr. Walla had several friends there,
and she bad made those charges in order be nuke up
for the additional expenses incurred. That 111111
could not do, and therefore it most be dedimled.
The balance would be I:8 to. 6d. ,for which he would
give judgment for the plaintiff, with costs.—Mr.
Rill appeared for the plaintiff.
Corns v. flcetres.—Mr. Whatman appeared far
the plaietiff, and Mr. Hill for the dthnt.—The
plaintiff was ogled by Mr. Whatoian, and examined.
He said he remand at Amesbury, and was the owner
of a dwelling-house g Eihrewton. In JIM, 1862, be
let the premises to the defendant. —Mr. Hill inter-
poled, and inquired if the letting was in writing.
Plaintiff replied in the affirmative. Mr. Whatamue
said it was in Courkbut there was no stamp upon it.
Mr. Hill objected to any evidence being given whilst
there wage document in writing notbefore the Court.
His Honor observed that the canes could sot proceed
any further unless the plaintiff would pay the
p.mialt.y—Clo and the stamp duty. Be might have,
Uhe tl+^..., an adjournment, and in the meantime
Mr. Whatman might write to the Stamp Office, who
would moat probably receive the XlO. —Mr. Whatinan

was afraid would not. He wished the OW to

to his work that day, bat he went the next, and re-
mained to the end of the week. The defendant
then deducted la from his wages for being absent
on the Sunday. He refused to accept the 4a, but
sent it in by the servant to the defendant. —On his
presenting himself on the Monday morning at the
house with his mother, he was informed that his
services were not required. The defendant would
not hear anything his mother had to say, but sent
for a policeman,and directed them to leave the house
immedidely. They did so, and took out the
summons for the money.—Mr. Young said the
plaintiff was in the habit frequently of neglecting
his work, and on the particular day he wanted him
to carry some medicine to his patients. He did not
come the whole dey,and he was consequently put to
great inconvenience. In answer to His Honor the
defendant said he had no doubt that the horse kicked
him, as he was always taxing the animal.—ln the
evening of the day he was obliged to send round
his groom with the medicine, for which he paid him
Is. When the boy came on the Monday he told him
that Faeroe, the groom bad been paid Is. for doing
his work, and be should deduct it from his wages on
Saturday.—His Honor: That you had no power to
do.—Defendant added that on the Saturday night be
sent out 45., telling him that if he worked properly
the next week be should receive Si. The plaintiff
sent the money back in • very insolent way, and he
considered that their engagement was then at an end.
His Honor Have you paid the 41. into Court.
Mr. Young: No.—His Honor: That lam afraid is
father unfortunate for you.—Mr. Young said on the
Monday morning his mother came, and was very
abusive to him. He told her to leave, but she de-
clined to do so, and be was obliged to send fore
policeman to turn her out as she was interfering with
his business. It was his fall intention to pay the
boy again, but after the insolence he received he
thought be had a right to discharge him at once.
When he remonstrated with the plaintiff he laughed
in his tam- -His Hanoi: Why did you dismiss him
at a moment's notice I—Mr. Young: Because he was
insolent to me in returning the money, and his
laughing in my fad when I spoke to him.—His
Honor: I am afraid that in law that is not suffi-
cient to enable you to dismiss him summarily. If
be had disobeyed your lawful orders then you could
hare done so.—Mr. Young: But he did not give me
notioe.—His Honor: That Is soother thing. They
would first have to inivairy whether it was a lawful
absentee. It hid thee admitted that the horse
had kicked the boy, and it was a question whether
or not that was sufficient to prevent him front doing
his work. lam afraid you most pay this money,
there is no help for it.— Verdict for plaintiff.
FORILII•Nr. BPC\ RYAN. —This was an action to
recover XIS 14s. 6d. for a snit of clothes, and the re-
peering of • pair of trousers; 2s. 6d. was paid into
Court.—The plaintiff is a tailor living in Milford-
street, Salisbury, and according to his evidence the
defendant called upon him in December, 1859, and
ordered a suit of clothes. They were made and
delivered to him on the 6th January following.—
The defendant denied having ordered the clothes.
His step-eon gave the order, and tbe plaintiff con-
mooted to take it out in beer. He called Mr.
Colborne,who said be accompanied his step-father to
the plaintiff's shop, and gave an order for a suit of
clothes for Mr. Spearman. Mr. Foreman said it did
not matter about any money, he would take it out
in beer, as he (without) was then a publican. He
ordered them in his own name, although Mr.
Foreman had entered it in his ledger to the de-
fendant —Plaintiff: You know very well Charles
Colborne it is • bare-Lund falsehood. You
know nothing about the circumstances. Mr.
Colborne: Nonsense, 1 was in the house at the
time, for Mr. Spearman would never have been
there had it not been for me. Plaintiff, very
emphatically : Charles Colborne, you know you
have spoken false. —Mr. Colborne: I have spoken
the truth. Unfortunately my books are in Seeing-
hall-street, or I should be enabled to show that the
beer that WM supplied to the plaintiff had been
crossed off as settled, in order that there should be
no litigation about the matter, as I had agreed to
supply him with beer in lien of the suit of clothes.
The amount of the bill for beer was, I believe, about
£5 l&s. His Honor asked the plaintiff if the
assignees had called upon him for the mone7, to
which he replied in the negative. The plaintiff
stated that he had some beer, two casks of which
be was obliged to return, sa he could not drink it.
He wished to tall the Court that Mr. Colborne
knew no more about the matter than • stranger.—
Mr. Colborne: I ought to know, having given you
the order. On my oath I gave the order forth,
clothes, and the plaintiff has nearly taken it all out
in beer.—Mr. 'foreman said that he subsequently
told the defendant that be would take out a portion
of the debt in beer of his step-son, but he denied
having reovived the order from the latter.—The
plaintiff fetched his books, and Colborne's bill for
beer was pinned against the defendant's account..
His Honor said the plaintiff having agreed to take
out the beer he could not run from it, therefore it
ought to be allowed. The beer account was £4 184. ;
but from that must be deducted XI 14s. for beer
returned, which would leave £3 4s. This taken from
the plaintiff's claim, £5 12e., would leave £2 Bs., for
which judgment was given.—Mr. Foreman mid
Mr. Colborne owed him for two waistcoats, and he
wanted to know how he should recover that. —His
Honor said as Mr. Colborne was • bankrupt, he
would experience some difficulty in recovering it,
bat that formed no port of the question before the
Court.

ADIALSTO O. TABOR. —The plaintiff, a widow,
claimed of the defendant, a carpenter, Bring in
Salt-lane, £2 10s. interest due for money lout.
Mr. Hill represented the deferidaut.—The money
was lent in 1864, sod interest was regularly paid for
the money up to 1868. The iand's late husband
formerly occupied the Dolphin Inn, but he sub-
sequently let it to • Mr. Steven,, who in 1864
handed it over to the defendant. The latter was
unable to pay for a portion of the stock, and the
plaintiff's husband requested his wife to borrow of
her father £5O of the £2OO left by her former
husband, the interest of which she was entitled to
during her life. The £2OO was to be handed over to
the eon on his attaining his majority. The money
was procured and given to the defendant, he enter-
ing into an agreement to pay interest at the rate of
five per cent, per annum. During the life time of
her husband the plaintiff received the interest of the
money from the defendant. Her husband died in
1858, and since that time no money had been paid,
and the chine was for £2 10a. interest due to May,
1859.—1 e cross-examination by Mr. Hill, the
plaintiff mid her father lent the money to her, and
not to her brigand. Her husband requested her to
borrow the money.-11r. Hill contended that the
debt was due to the husband.—His Honor said if
the husband had been alive it might have beau •
different story. 'That was a debt which had sever
been reduced into possession during the husband's
lifetime, and therefore 'arrived to the wife. The
interest had been paid during his lifetime,but always
to her—Mr. Hill submitted that the wife was the
ftmt of the hwebriod, who was a very diseipated fellow.
His Honor differed from Mr. Hill, and the latter then
contended that she was acting as her husband's agent
in letting the house. Tabor could not take the house
without the money. The husband requested her to
get the money for the defendant, and therefore it
was due to the plaintiffs busband,or to his executors,
who could tome upon him for the amount. —His
Honor: His executors would never be enabled to
recover. It was the wife's money from beginning to
the end. She obtained it from her father, and her
husband had not the aliyhteet interest in it. The
debt survived to the wife-in-law. She was not en-
titled to the principal, as that belonged to the moo.—
The discussion upon the law of the matter was con-
tinued at considerable length, his Honor deciding in
favour of the plaintiff for £2 10..; to be paid forth-
with. —At the conclusion of the case his Honor mid
Mr. Tabor had tried to get up a most dishonest
defence, but he mold not get out of it.—Mr. HIS:
He is only • journeyman carpenter.—His Honor said
that did not matter. He was a dishonest man to get
up such • defence as that. He had had the money,
but he did not like to pay it, and he endeavoured to
get out of it by trying not to pay the interest upon
the capital. —Mr.Witi said he would be liable to be
sued by the executors, and if an action were to be
brought against him,be (Mr. Hill) should advise tin
that he had DO defence,—His Honor said they would
make • sad hash of it in any Court were they to do
act—Mrs. Andrews mid she wanted to get the CA, as
her eon now required it —His Honor recommended
her to consult some solicitor upon the matter. She
would be entitled to the year's interest due next
May, but she had injured herself by claiming only
a =it: of the amount due.
r. DAVIL—This was an action to recover
poseenien of a cotter at Fiaberton. —Mr. Moody
purr., house agent, appeared for the plaintiff. The
cottage was let to the defendant at 14a, per month,
and notice was served upon him to leave the 25th
March, 1862. At that time another agreement was I
entered into that the defendant should pay 3e. 6d.
per week. Notice to leave was Revved upon him on '
the 20th July to leave the following week, but be
declined to do so.--The defendant contended that
the agreement was by the mouth, and not by the
week. He denied having ever entered into any
such arrangement as that stated.—ln answer to His ,
Honor the defendant consented to give up poem:ion
of the cotter in a week, and the rout due, £l, was,
ordered to be paid by instalments of 10e. a mouth.
Barrrox Amass, Friday.—(Before Mr. Justice
Willes.)—Gay Matthew,. —Mr. Coleridge, Q.C.,
and Mr. Cole were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr.
M. Smith, Q.C. and Mr. Boller for the defendant.
This was an action of replevin for seising some
barley ricks. The defendant pleaded 'Not Guilty"
—that there was no notice of action pursuant to the
statute, and he justified the seizure under an order
of Sessions. The plaintiff is • fanner in White-
=the county of Wilts, and the amain. al

wAyugyNsTES„ WIDSINT.Ut SUNDAY SCHOOL
Anstvgasanr.—On Sunday lad two sermons were
preached by the R.. P. W. SiIOOI on behalf of the above
schools. The attendance at both minims was very
good, especially in the evening, when the chapel was
crowded to overflowing. This service was invested with
• double interest, from the fact that the rev, gentleman
then preached his farewell sermon, the term of his
ministry in Warminster
.(according to the rides of the
Wesleyan conference) having expired. This anticipated
removal has been deeply felt by his church and tiongire-
ption as it is believed he his been instrumental in doing
much good during his two years' residence in this town.
At the close of the sermon the rev, gentleman took •
very affectionate farewell of his people. He said " What-
ever had been the result of his labours if he had been
the instrument in God's hand@ of bringing one soul
to Christ he should be amply rewarded, and if Live
should be a final meeting on earth, he hoped they would
all meet at the last day, and as they had been
accustomed to assemble as one congregation here, so ell
might assemble hereafter as one in Christ, and all
receive the same blessedreeNtl."

smell; liminess in wheat was dull, at prices from la.

MALMESBURY. —.ALUM= Mcansit.—An old
man named Ful%rook was found dead • few days
ago ins 'table at Minety, and • man named Taylor
is now in the custody of the Wiltshire police
charged
with wilful murder. A great deal of evidei!ce
been adduced against the prisoner before the Maimed-
bury magistrates, and the case is not yet closed. It
appears that in the neighbourhood of the Minety
station of the Great Western Railway there is a
small public hones called the Red Lion, and the
deceased was engaged at times in the house, for
which be received his meals, and was allowed to
sleep in one of the stablea A few mornings ago the
dammed was found in the stable dead. Mr.
Lawrence, surgeon, of Malmesbury, examined the
body, and found that there was a severe bruise over
the left eve, besides a bruise below the right collar-
bone; and on a post-mortem examination discovered
that there were injuries to the head sufficient to cause
death. It appears that on the day before the de-
ceased was found dead he was seen by a policeman
with a black eye, and when asked how he came by
it he told the officer that the prisoner struck him
very violently and caused it. Witnesses have been
examined who swear that one night the prisoner
returned from Malmesbury intoxicAted, and that he
struck the deceased a tremendous blow. It also
appears that the prisoner has previously been charged
with serious and violent assaults, and that though
the *wooer's jury returned • verdict to the effect
that the deceased died from injuries inflicted an his
moon, but by whom and bow there was no evidence
to show; the polioe authorities are not setislled with
the verdict, and they have therefore detained the
prisoner in custody.
