DORCIIESTEousry COURT, 7th October.
--Before K Everett, Esq.—There had been 41
plaints entered for this court, besides judgment
avmmonses, and two adjourned causes. The cases
were chiefly undefended, and oders were made by
consent of the parties ; but on Crockford e. Gale
being called on, the Registrar required payment of
the hearing fees, £1 Bs., before the case WS pro-
ceeded with, which the plaintiff being unprepared
with, the cause stood over till the last to enable
him to procure the money, which he did, and
the, cause proceeded. It appears the plaintiff
*lined £l3 12s. 2cl. for principal money, interest.
and expenses to which he had been put in regard to
in acceptance of Gale's.—Both parties had been
sued by the parties to whom Crockford had indorsed
the bill, which was for £6 155., and judgment re-
covered against them, and that the bill WM originally
given in part payment of a larger rum due from
Gale to Crockford at Christmas last.—His Honor,
after hear* the cause, gave judgmentfor £6-16s. Gd.
and costa, to be paid at £1 a roonth.—Loveless
e. Smith.—This was a shop bill of 3s. 9d. only,
which the defendant disputed, and the cause was
adjourned till next court for the production of a
witneas.

allowed a week for payment. Don't he wish they
, may get itl—Owen Baldwin, a private in the
53rd Regiment of Foot, stationed at Portland
barracks, was charged with being in an enclosed yard
for an unlawful purpose.—P.C. Apsey shortly after
one o'clock on Sunday morning heard a noise at the
back of Mr. Forse's, of the Royal Engineer public-
bones. He went round and saw the prisoner trying
•to get over a wall upon the roof of the waahhouse.
Not being able to give a good account of his un-
seemly conduct he was taken into custody.—The
Bench ordered him to be handed over to the
military authorities.- —Henry Dowley, a stoker
belonging to H.M.S. Colossus, was charged by P.C.
McMahon with being drunk and incapable in an'
enclosed yard at the back of Prospect-place. He
could give no account as to how he got there; and as
his only lodging was "on the cold ground," the
sonstable took compassion upon him, and gave him
a bed in the cell of the station-house.—Fined 55.,
and costs, which were paid.- —James Helps, a

TUESDAY'S PoLms.—Before R. Bower, Esq., and
Captain Prowse.—William Hansford was charged
with hawking without having first obtained a ticket
from the clerk of the market. The defendant's
wife attended, and pleaded that others did the same.
—Fined ss. and 3s. 10d. costs.---John Bartlett,
the superintendent of the bathing machines, was
summoned by a lad named Gabriel Martin for 95.,
being the amount of three week's wages. Mr.
Howard appeared for the defendant, who it appeared
had hired the boy to drive one of the horses used
for drawing the machines in and out of the sea.
He complained that the boy was sometimes late at
his work, and that when he was there he did not
drive the horse fast enough. He therefore kept his
wages back to wake him up earlier in the morning,
and make him go faster when he did arrive.
Ordered to pay, with costa. As Mr. Bartlett has
been several times before the magistrates, the in-
ference is that he is very unfortunate in the selection
of his servants. Would'nt better wages produce a
better effect!
NOVEL Cerreas. About three o'clock on
Thursday afternoon, a fine hare suddenly made its
appearance on the sands. Chase was immediately
given by the bystanders, which resulted in the
capture a the hare in about 10 inches of water. It
is supposed it must have strayed from the fields near
the Greenhill, the sands being an unlikely place to
find game.
MRS. GRUNDY ON THE REVIVAL OF POPISH
TERSRCUTIONS IN WEYMOUTH.—" Dear Muster
Headhitter. Sur' —i tale up my pen to write these
few lines to yon-laoaping it will find you all well as
it leaves me at present. But my nerves is terribly
shook, owing to the wicked proceedings of the
people so that i verry much feer i shan't never be
imyseliagin. Well, sur, i had just returned hoses
from attending our prottestant church last Sundy,
ond ejoyin of my dinner, when what should i hear
bat one of the moult dreadfullest sets-out that evver
was heard since the prosecutions of Mary's time. it
'made me feel so bad that I eould'nt stir, so i went
to the door and sat what it was all about. They
people all sod as they was after a for but all as i
could sae was Sir Voyer. It is /Jed in the bible
that peseta is sometimes gived up to the blindness
of there eyes so as they beleve a lie and so i 'spose
ad' is why they thout it was a halinimal as they
was after, if this doant show the wikedness of the
peapel, i lloant no what doos. Well, Sur, they
dray Sir Voyer from Boote Lane, partly doun High
Street, throe Love Lane, and along wyke rode. He
then rang for shelter into • gentleman's house, and
rite dim it, over the yard wall, thou the brick yareh,.,
along the marsh wall, and finally &acceded in getting
clear from his prosecutors, by hiding hisself in a
dark corner in the cole stores at the gashouse, where
lie had to lay for several ours. It is wonderful
when we consider it how he eskapt, with a hole
akin. For his tormentors pelted him with rotten
