noon, a boy named Millettge, about 14 or 15 years old,
of Spring Gardens, was in the cricket field at Chafie's
Lake, and ran after the cricket ball, as it was atruek.
As be stooped to pick it up, an explosion took place
under his left arm, and his clothes took fire. Two of
the borough police were present, and went to the lad,
and took off part of his clothes and put the fire out. It
was found he had two loaded pistols In his trataers
'socket, and one of them in his left pocket must have
teen cooked, for this woo the one that went off as the
lad stooped to pick up the cricket ball. The injured
arm was examined, and about twenty gun shots were
found in the fiesh. The left side of his waistcoat was
blown away, and it was a marvellous thing that his
heart was not piermiL A quantity of powder and shot
were found in his pocket. He MU able to walk home
for the medical amistance of Dr. Simpson.
1)1ATII oP Mat. PoTHILVART.-00 Wednesday morn-
ing. Mr. John Pothecary, auctioneer of Oh town,
expired at Bath, where be had gone for the benefit of
his health. Mr. Pothemry commenced his education
for the legal profession under the late Mr. It. C.
Phillips, of St. Thomasstreet, but instead of being
enrolled, took up the profession of auctioneer, and also
kept the Goloeu Lion Hotel for nearly 20 years. Mr.
Pothecary was early in the field of politics, and took a
very decided position on the Liberal side. In 18:il he
was returned to the Town Council for Meloombe Regis
Ward. and continued to represent that ward, with the
exception of • short interval, until November, 1868,
when he was elected alderman, and filled that office
until his death. He strongly opposed the erection of
the new Market house in Ilary•street, and some other
measure, of the Conservative party. lie has lately
been suffering acutely, and went to Bath to take the
waters ; but a hasty telegram informed us of his death
NVedneselay morning, and Vie flags were at once
half-imitated front respect to his ireinory. The melan-
choly news produced the most painful sensation in
Weymouth.
FoIiIIIDDISO THE BANSB.—A couple of attached
lowers were about to be united in holy matrimony, at •
certain chapel in Weymouth on Sunday last, when the
" erne' patient" of the yoeng man objected to the
wedding ceremony being performed. On being asked
for his reason, none good and sufficient were given,
and the minister finding that both the happy couple
were arrived at years of discretion, determined to pro-
ceed. But the sister of the would•be bridegroom also
ohjeered, and then, we believe, peeped out the real
01111f0 of the opporition, a little—whatever shall we
call it ?—jealousy, dislike, contempt ?—of the young
lady, so soon about to enter into the family. Oh! that
family pride How mush happiness has been hindered
from fear of " What will the family say r How much
coldness, misunderstanding, and even estrangement,
have been caused by the doings of that hydra-headed
power, the family Bat though the opposition of the
bridegroom's sister was listened to with that politeness
to which the ladies are entitled, it was of no avail ; the
parties were of age, and they had • right to choose for
themselves. So the minister, finding the young man
was determined to "leave father" and sister "and *leave
unto his wife," united the pair, and expressed a hope
that all might turn out happily and well, The old
gentleman who had before opposed, gave • rather
doubting assent to this wish; but we hope hall come
round before long, and utter the conventional, " Bless
you, my children," from the depths of his heart.

PLOPIRYT 011 A PIIIIONItI.

Mr. Weston, of Dorchester, made an •tiplication to the Bench
With reference to some money found in possession of the
prisoner Gardiner. lie was at present in gaol. charged with
stealing If.. ed. from Mr. Mason, also with stealing some
and wain with stealing • ring the property of Edward Bland.
5.70 wax f tin his !immersion, the wino ier had applied to
him (Mr. Weston) to defend him, and the present applimition
was for a portion of that £7O to be given to defend him. If
prisoner had been indicted for stealing £7O, and les. Od, had
been I al, of course he would not have made such an applies,
It'll; but the reverse was the case. If prisoner were found
guilty at the sessions on this Indictment, no doubt the Bench
knew that by the new Act 14 Parliament, there would be no
forfeiture, and Mr. Mao would not have the £7o,Alie money
would be the prisimer's at the conclurion of his term of
sentence.

Mr. Neltdord said he appeared for the prosecution, and his
Instructions were that Gardiner may be indict° I for stealing
every_ penny id this money. Under these circum.tanaa he
(Mr. Weldon]) must positively object to Mr. Weston's &mills...
lion being emitted. Of ammo if Gsrliner were indicted for
stealing goods, he would not have opposed the giving up of
some of the money. But the prosecution maintained that
every penny of this money WM their., and the application
ratolved instil into this monstrossity—that it was asked that the
prosecutor's money tnight be taken for the purpose of defending
the prisoner, and he (Mr. Webiford) hoped that the &nen
would not allow this money, which the prosecutor contended
was ha, to be taken for such • purpose.
Toe Mayor said the 'mi.:Anion were only going to Indict
Gardiner for stealing IS, Ccl.. and in eotunlon Justice, he thought
he sho il,i Its‘e once to defend hint That nes his opinion for
his own port; but he should consult with the ma.4strate's
clerk,

Mr. Welsford said his instructions were positive—to Indict
Ganliner for stealing every penny of the money.
Mr. Weston and the prosecution must take the depositions.
sod they simply went to the effect that lts. ed. war stolen by
Gardiner.

Mr. Drew remarked that the promicutiou for £7O WU a con-
tingency that might arise or not.
The Ifay.ir naked ii any of the depositions referred to the £7O?
Mr. Warhol: They simply refer to the Its. el. The Mayor
d—Nut quite so.
. . .

Mr. M5....n dermal " I believe prisoner lum robbed me of
more than .tIo mum he ha. been in myterries."
Mr. Wegon : Then be must prove IL The only SIUM sworn
to WM% the money marked by Mr. Mayon and the superilitendenk
The Mayor asked Mr. Weisibtni if be said a. a prideenotial
man, that it %ram hbt intention to indict for stealing the £7

Mr. We 14411 teplitnl that he woo away. Mr. Weston's client

The Mayor could not agree with that. There was much to
he done Isfore the sesdonv, if 101.1.01/lr were indicted 1m this
!large. As to the money, lie would talk the matter over with
the tuagistratee clerk, and let the professional gentlemen
know, but at present he did not soo why • sumo( money should
