wore Edward Everett, Esq.)— Fifty-eight plaints
end eight, judgment ttuninionses had been issued for
thw ow', the majority of which were of the ordinary
ohmmeter, and in many instances the parties had
smaikd themselves of the previsions I.f the late Act of
Parliament and settled the matters before the Registrar's
Clerk ; but the case of
Clarke v. Hans, which was • claim for £l9 10e. for
wain, lerrices rendered by the plaintiff, and a quarter's
wary which he claimed for being cheiniseed from his
aerrios without notice,spleared te excite much interest,
ow.e being very many tome persons prevent than uaual
wa anch messions. It appeared however that the
plaintiff had bees engaged about two yearn ago as an
assistant by the defendant, at • salary of L. 12 a year,
with board and lodging, but shortly afterwards an
arrangement was entered into that Clarke should
the boys dancing, for which he alleged
ba was hi be paid extra. It did not, however,
appear clesr that such we, the cane, and his Honor,
who heard the cam at great Icnsth, inclined to the
"onion, se suited by the defendant, thst Clarke was to
have the pnvilege of instructing a private class for his
leaching such or Mr. Hann's ocholare as were to learn
the art of dancing, and that such arrangement hiatt
bee' carried out, because Clarke lied received I'6 odd
of true class, and kb of Mr. Kellsway fur teaching
dancing, which lie had appropriated to his own utte,
except about £2 Se., which lied been paid Mr Hann for
cleaning the room and for gas ; and in reused to the
original agreement between the parties, His Honor,
who vcry carefully went through the evidenee adduced
st, both aide., observed, I think the plaintiff was •
yearly servant, and was entitled to ressonsble notice
and that • glairtrell 004i100 DI not an unresminsble notice,
sutler the ciieutesmnees. The only tjuestion which
oteld have arisen on that point is—should it have
been looger plaintiff has only claimed • quarter,
and he utast be content with that, but His Honor

then went to the Railway Tavern to sleep, and returned

in which a jury was demanded by the defendant, but

HaOADWILY.—A friendly match of cricket between
the rey and Broadwey Cricket Clubs afforded
the villagers of the latter place, on Monday
week, an
admirsb e pretext to regard the day as a festival,
wenewhat after the style of olden times, with the
exceptiou that none allowed King Alcohol to sway
his sceptre over their better judgment, whilst, at
the same time, coarse or indecorous behaviour was
nos here to be wen. The match came off in a field,
kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. Hitt, situated
amulet scenery the most delightful, and which, if
truly delineated, would read like • description of
enchanted ground in some fairy tale. To be sure, it
was too much on the slope for those engaged in that
truly old English game which drew the company
t. gether, and it is, perhaps, to this circumstance the
lipaey gentlemen may partially attribute their ill
emcees ; nevertheless, this to them was matter of
little moment, when they reflected that it was one of
the nowt romantic spots in the cninty of Dorset,
and that the greater portion of the spectators
belonged to the fair act. Nor do we wonder at
their gallantry —fur truly Eve's fairest daughters
never shone to better advantage than did the Ladies
of Upwey and Broadway on this occasion. The
clerical body was represented in the person of the
Rev. F. Fisher, who might be denominated the
master of the ceremonies. This gentleman, to this
bees& be it spoken, since his residence iii Bro &I-
vey, has uaing.mi with the people, and has been
iselefau4al,le in his endeavours to promote their
religions, moral, physical, and 110Cial well being; so
that trough hie instrumentality the village can
now leo-. of its day and night schools, it.. clothing
club, ito leary, its cricket club, and various other
institine.,.. calculated to call forth the latent
powers.; ti, • inhabitant*, both of body and mind.
No wonder Ili *. lie is venerated as a minister, looked
up to as a gui.i and director, and consulted when
advice and awii-dance is needed—no wonder that in
the cricket field not an idle jest or improper word
was uttered, or evenan angry look given by any one.
All was concord and harmony The juveniles
indulged in other athletic sports, which tended to
diversify the scene, and at the conclusion the com-
pany assembled together and sang in excellent style
'• 1;a1 mve the Queen." In the evening the mem-
bers of the clubs and their friends, to the number of
between 30 and 40, adjourned to the Swan Inn,
where an excellent repast was served up in aihni-
rabh style by Mr. and Mrs. Rogers, who were
serdisous in their attentions to promote the comfort
their guests. The chair was taken by
Mr. Chalker, of Upwey, who, after the removal of
Nit cloth, gave the usual loyal taste, and the Rev.
E. hater, gave "Success to the Broadvrey Cricket
club." He stated that he bad been highly pleased
that day with the quiet and orderly conduct of all
present. They had evidently all enjoyed themselves,
and although their Upwey friends had been beaten,
they had exhibited the greatest amount of good
humour and kindly feeling possible during the day,
being evidently amply repaid for their want of success
by the amusement they had afforded. For his own
Fr:, he did not see that he was out of his place, as a
clergyman, us being present on that occasion. Young
people needed rem. t on audio:inurement, and if they
could not have that which was innocent, they might
resort to that which was vicious ; and was it not
be better to encourage them in that which was moo-
and recreative, than allow them to go on in any
course mitered for Besides which it was his con-
viction that many had gone astray, and followed in
a course vice, who but for some kind monitor—
some friend by their side—some word of advice,
direction or encouragement in the time of need,
would have pursued the path of virtue, and have been
honored members of society. He thanked them for the
good feeling they had exhibited, and for the excellent
manner in which they had carried out the proceed-
ings of the day, and exhorted them in all they ware
engased never forget that they had something to live
for, besides attending to recreations and cares of this
life. "Sweep to the Upwey Cricket Club" was also
given, and tbe company separated at an early hour
for their respective homes. The following is the
score :

diately went to the yard of Mr. Ferrey, in St.
Etlmuntlditreet, where I saw Mr. Charles Ferrey
aud his nephew. The Quay wall is the frontage of
the wall against the water. The men had hold of a
rope with a grapple. I and Charles Ferrey then
took a rope and got round to where the body was,
and took it into the boat. I saw immediately that
it was the body of Mr. Bridge. The legs were
quite stiff, and I should say the body had been in
the water some time. Seeing the watch-guard of
deceased hanging out, I took the watch from the
pocket, and found it stopped at 6 minutes past
three. I did not examine it, to see if it had been
wound up. Witness here produce.' the watch—it

' The only things found on deceased were a pa r of
gloves, a key, a handkerchief, a shilling, sixpence,
and fourpenny piece, and watch. P. C. Wood said:
I was on duty last night at Itadipole lane. I knew
Mr. Bridge by sight. I was passing through St. ,

Mr. l'idgeon's,and noticed that he had been dniiking.
He turned down St. Alba's.* row into St. Thomas- ,

street leading to the Fox public-house, and which
would lead him to theapot where the body was found.

or three policemen stated that they saw deceased
very tipsy in the street on Sunday evening, and
they had ascertained that he went into several
public houses between S and 10 o'clock, but they
could not find that any one saw him aftee he was
seen by P.C. Wood. He MY at Trinity Church
during a portion of the time of divine service. —The
Coroner said that there was no evidence that the
deceased had got into the water by any foul means,
nor whether he threw himself in purposely, or fell
in accidentally, and lie suggested that the jury
should adopt a middle course, and return au open
verdict. The jury accordingly returned A verdict of
"Found Drowned."
