Sshenry, Sept. 25: ISM.

My Lords and Gentlemen, We. the undersigned
graziers, dealers, end butchers, frequenting the market,
held in the City of Salisbury, beg most respectfully to
memorialise that the orders and exulations ebich now
prevent the holding of the fortnightly market for the
sale of cattle, may be rescindei. We desire to express
our warnse.t acknowledgmento fir the very great care
which bee been taken to prevent the spread of the cattle
disesicis in the county of Wil4, but inasmuch as the
almost total freedom of the county from disease indicates
that the time bee now arrived when &relaxation of those
wise precautionary measures which have been adopted,
may be sanctioned without the slightest danger, we most
earnestly ask for such an alteration in the exi.ting orders
and regulations as will allow of the re-opening of the
cattle market in question.

in bodily fear of the defendant.—Defendant stoutly
denied having put his fists in the complainant's face,

COUNTY COURT. —The usual monthly court was
held on Wednesday, before E. Everett, Eel., judge.
The sitting WWI a long one, but the cases generally
were very uninteresting. In that of Joseph South.
well, of East Wallow, a. John Dean, of Shaftesbury,
Mr. Whatman appeared for the plaintiff It was an
action to recover the vales of a quantity of plums,
sold to the defendant last year. The parties, it
appeared, met at the Saracen's Head Inn, Salisbury,
and the defendant asked the plaintiff if he oould
. supply him with 20 bushels of plums, at ha. par
bushel. Southwell said he could only guarantee ten
, bushels, but he would send as many as he could.
Thereupon, the defendant, according to his own
! statement, said "Her, is a Lb Bank of England note,
aa an earnest," and the plaintiff took it from him
and put it into his pocket Two or three witnesses
I were called to corroborate this statement, bat their
evidence did not quite agries. One said he saw the
plaintiff take the note from the defendant's heed,
land another said the latter threw it on the bible.
Neither of them was certain that it really was a £5
note. The plaintiff himself denied having received
any msney, and called three witnesses who said that
if any note had passed, they must have seen it.
They heard something said about a ,C 5 note, but no
note was produce& —His Honour listened patiently
to the case, and ultimately gave a verdict for the
plaintiff.
