SINGULAR CHARGE OF FRAUD.

At the Mansion London, on Monday, Francis Brows
a Esti curer at Gravesend, and James Terry, a lad of
17 years of age, were charged on remand with fors,
lug a bill of lading and defrauding the underwriters
of the Monarch Insurance Company of £2OO. The
solicitor for the prosecution stated, in opening the
care, that a short time ago Brown effected an insur-
ance for £2OO at the off* of the Monarch Company
upon 100 barrels of herring., which he said were to
he skipped in the smack James, from London for
Fecamp. A few days afterwards he sent in a olairie
tor the £2OO, representing that the smack left the
river on Saturday, tie 13th of November, and that
it was wrecked on the evening of the next day, the
captain and a seaman being drowned, and the lad
Terry and himself haying been alone saved of the
whole crew. This story was found to be • fabrics-
from beginning to end. There was another charge
against Brown. In May last, lie succeeded is effect-
ing policies with various insurance companies to the
amount, in all, of £1,625 on a quantity of herrings
which, he said, he was about to ship in • vessel
called the Rope, from Gravesend for Cherbourg.
Shortly afterwards he was found in the Channel in •
small boat, and was picked up by a passing ship and
taken to Ramsgate. lie then came to London and
received £2OO from the Ocean Marine Insurance
Company in respect of a policy he had effected on
the vcisel at that office, but the other policies remain
unpaid. There never WS/ such a vessel as the prisoner
had represented, and the small boat in which he was
picked up was hired by him for the purpose on the
morning of the day in question. A charge is also
to be preferred against, him of scuttling another res-
od, whereby he had ilel3ll able to obtain money from
certain underwriters. In all, he had obtained no
less than £1,2,10 by false reprosentetions in about 16
mouths. A quantity of evidence in support of tie
first charge was adduced on Monday, end the Inks.
tiers were remanded till Tuesday next.

Tug Mvevaitions MUTH BY Poterm—The ad-
journed inquest on the death of Eliza George,
general servant at Mr. George Budden's, was held
on Monday last, before W. H. Atkinson, Esq.,
coroner. Mr. Daniell., surgeon, of Wareham, proved
that enough arsenic wee found in the body to poison
three or four persons, and, as the.stomach wee quite
empty, the gi.l must have taken large quantities.
The jury returned an open verdict, "That the
deceased died of poison, but by whom administered
there was no evidence to show."

Tau oonimittee of the Blantiford Recreation Club,
with a view of meeting the extra expense of fitting up
gu in their club-room, and also with the hope of pro-
viding funds for a day's athletic sports this summer,
secured the services cif several well-known omateur
singers and Mr. Eyer's *debuted bead, for a concert,
which took plus on Tbnieday evening last in the Corn-
Exihange. Those wkopstroniu lit were mostly young
people, atid the room area *bout half filled, probably
many more would have been present, had it not been
that the price of odmiasion was rather high. The
pieces selected far tbe band witee-Bewell's Cavatina
The Cornfield*;" Vandervell'a V 01.., " Lees;' and a
grand selection from the opera of "Desert Flower," by
Wallace. These, we need hardly say, were very
exoellently readrred, being ably led by Mr. Skivington.
The first song on the programme wee sang by Mr. W.
Lance, jun., 'Shell the very little girl for me,"
Though well received, it was too long for an
encore. " Homeward Bound," by Maynard, was sung
by Mr. Liking, of Ettickland, and this wee followed by
two pianof.trte aalos—" Le Promisee Donner," by
Vel.7, and "1,. Zephyr," by Elarinaran, sbly played by
Mr. C. J. Ems ; " Your 'boulder to the wheel," sung
Mr. J. Skivington, and " The skipper and his bey,"
aunt by Mr. Easdell, was encored ; "Hurrah for the
sea," sung by Mr. Chums, area also encored, and, in
complying, that gentleman gave "Never mind the
rest." " The four jolly smiths," sung by Mr. Rogers,
of Quarieston Farto, was enthusiastically cheered and
encored. Mr. Rogers then sang "The goad Rhine
wine." Our amusing comic friend, Mr. Herbert, then
favoured the company with one of be Cowell's comic
songs—" Reuben White and Phoabe Brown." This woo
given with first-rate effect. and provoked roan of
laughter. In complying with repeated palls, he gave
"Poor Maw Jane," a comae song of the nigger style.

THE DORSET COUNTY EXHIESS, TUESDAY, MAY 4, 1869

An Irishwoman, named Mary Drtgasabood, was
brought up for vagrancy. She had • shild in her urns
and four other ehildren whom sh• arranged in front of
her with an eye to effect when placed before the
justices.—P.C. Beech found the lady near Fordington
pound about half-pest nine on Saturday night, drunk
and Seep in the road, with the five °hadn't° around
her.—P.S. oousina bad seen bit singing in High Bast
-
street, and told her she most not do that without the
leave of the Mayor. She went to the Mayor's
house to ask for leave, but be was out
of town. Thom she said she would sing.
The I. however, saw her bagging. She
asserted she did not salt for anything, but only took
what was given her. She said she would sooner go to
gaol that to the union, and it seemed she had got no
order for the Union, and had been thus, but she told
the people of whom she begged in Dorchester "she warn
put into • black hole, and given a lot of ropes to pick."
although we believe the fact is she was shown to •room
similar to that which the Guardians use for their board
nieetinga At any rate, she did not like the Union,
and preferred begging in Dorchester. And wall she
might, for when taken into custody she hod 3a. 4dg. in
her pocket, and the children had bought • supply of
toys and bends for their amusement It seems that
her husband is in the county gaol now, anti hu • fort-
night longer to be imprisoned. The Bench DOW sen•
fenced the woman to a fortnight's hard labour, in the
hope, we suppou, that when they both come out
: together, they will come to the concluidon that Dorset
is too hot for them, and leave it. litanwhile, the
children were taken to the Union.

Mtlloltlitt WINDOW Ay RINGWOOD.—We are pleased
to born that the 1111111a0111 per•011/1 friend. of the late
vicar of Ringwood (the Rev. R. Holmes Tuck) have
determined to perpetuate his memory by filling one of
the lancet windows of the chancel with stained glass.

A II VELOCIPIDDI SUBJECT TO TOLL ? —Thi. question
was decided before the Roomy bench of magistrates on
Thursday last. A pions man named Feltbsm, who ix
in the employ of Newlin. Ely and Co. ironmongers,
but whose home Is at Ilottisfont, construOtsd for himself
a four•wheel velocipede, with which he has travelled
boom after his day's work. A few evenings anon, when
he arrived at the Tioshory gate, the toll collector, Giles
Halliday, refused to allow him to pass, and demanded
toll of him, charging him for the same 2s. 6d., which
Feltliam paid, and consequently summoned. the
. - . . . .

collector. 'Mr'. Leigh, of Sot;tham;ton, appeared for
the plaint If, and the bench, after hearing Halliday's
stat-meet, who said he demanded the toll on • parti-
cols'. clause in the local act, they decided that he had
construed the law of the cue very erroneously, and
must, therefore, pay a fine of 6d with the costa, and
also return the 2a. Bel. to the plaintiff. The steal; was
received by a crowded court with applause, which was
instantly suppreceed.
TitlitllC FIR! AT BOUNIIIIIIOCTII.—On Saturday
afternoon shortly after 2 o'clock the chimney of Hamp-
stead House, lichmond-bill, caught fire, and after it
had been burning • abort time the roof became ignited
and in a v. ry few minutes the gr.ai.r portion of the
house was in • blaze. The furniture was removed and
also an invalid ladv wl.ci was living in the house (the
property of Dr. Panel. At • few minutes after 2
o'clock the fire was raging in every parte( the building
but from that time it gradually abated in fury, anti!
when the engines arrived from Poole and Chriatehansh,
when there was no immediate danger of the fire com-
municating itmlf to the cottages adjacent. The
engines continued to play on the rains for two sr three
hours, and one of the engines remained on the spot
until the following morning in ease it should be required.
There was but • scanty supply of water. We under-
stand that the house which was entirely destroyed, was
insured. Had there been an engine with water available
soon after an fire ht. he out, the loss would bane been
but trifling wintered with what it now is. The inhabitaote of Bournemouth should at once subscribe towards
• fire engine, fire escape and some hoer, for it is •
complete discreoe to the teen to be witLLut such
things.

of the aloe of the judge, that the Court of Arches
should accept letters of request from the Bishop of Bath
and Wells in order that certain chirps of alleged heavily
by Mr. Bennett, of Promo, should be beard and deter-
mined. On the former occasion, Mr. A. J. Stephens,
, Q.C., and Or. Tristram urged that the court was bound
to accept the letters of request from the bishop—they
were lettere of command. His Lordship now gave
judgment, and lucidly reviewed the whole ecclesiastical
LIM on the sahjapt of letters of request. He ended
several came, and dicuseed the state of the law both
before and after the introduction of the Church Dis-
cipline Act, under whisk the present epplication woe
made. No reason was assigned in the letters of request
why they were sent to the appeal court of the province
instead of the Bishop's Court. The °barges were at to
heresy on some of the awful mysteries of our religion,
and in his opinion it was of all others a cue for the
bishop to hear in his own court. His lordship there-
fore declined to accept the letters of request until eon,e
reason wee stated why he should do Do. Judgment

TES BACK WATEIt DOCK SCRUM.

The MaTOlll bad had an interview with Mr. Walters,
who had • plan for enclosing the Backwater for ducks.
It was thought by Mr. Walters and Mr. Wragg
engineers, that this would erect Weymouth into a Lars*
shipping port. and it would become one of the last
points of departere for vessels bound abroad. The
Mayor explained that not the slightest pecuniary
aaustancie must be expected ; but Messrs. Walters arid
Wragg did not seem to want that. They hoped for
the co-operation of the Great Western Railway Company
and that the Council would grant them leases for a term
of years. The Mayor thoright the Council could not do
wrong in granting the lessee. Supposing they granted
them for that angle of the Backwater which was formerly
proposed, they must profit, for they would obtasu a
ground rent, and if nothing came of the scheme, they
would have • piece of land enclosed.
Mr. Arruscaav said the engineer. mast deepen the
harbour and provide against the accumulation of silt.
Mr. SLJOT remarked that some of the largest and
Secret porta in England had formerly worse entrances
than our harbour. The entrance of the Tyne was
originally only about eight feet deep, and now they had
24 feet.
It was left to the Mayor to make arrangements for •
publie meeting, where Messrs. Walters and Wragg can
explain their plane, and his Worship hoped all the
Council would attend, and bring their friends.

Various repairs were ordered on the Pile Pier.
On the application of Yr. Farwell, the Council decided
to grant every facility if the general meeting of repre-
sentatives ,4 the OrJer of Oddfellow. should be bald
at Weymouth in le7o, for which effort+ are being
made.
