THe ASSAULT CASZ, wherein Mr. Joseph Christo-
pher was summoned by Mr. Joseph Webb, attracted
some attention on Monday. Mr. Weston and Mr.
Howard appeared; but the legal gentlemen had a
ocosultation, and, after a few other cases had been
beard. Mr. Weston was very planed to announce
that, with the moment of the Beech, the matter had
bese arranged. Mr. Howard also said he was
vezectLy. Both parties were men moving in a
re
line of bugbear, and it would be far better
to withdraw the case than to fill the mouths of the
public. He was very glad both parties had met each
Mier fairly, and the case, with comment of the magis-
trates, meld be withdrawn.—The Mayor said the
Bench were always happy, rather than go into such
omen when an arrangement could be mado.—Thus the
matter terminated happily,
Clucarr.—Dorset Ootutty School v. Wool.—This
match was played on the school ground, and resulted
fa a vktary for Wool. It is only fair to say that had
sot the Wool Club had to leave by an early train the
school might have won on the second innings, when
W. C. Dim 75 and S. 0. Cox 52 played a fresly.hit
hobo, and deserve all credit for making so many
runs at • "dead " wicket. The mores ewe es

Doman LrgAllts itartrx.-The annual report of
the committee of Visiting Justices of these asylums has
Ituft been published, and it statea that the number of
county tamper patients now under treatment in the
two asylums is 373, showing a nsinction ,4 four in the
twelve months. Of this number 174 are males and 199
are females. The adutimions have been 62 :the number
discharged, 30; the deaths, 36. There are out-
county patients in the asylums. The non.paupenv are
14, as against 23 at this time last year; even have
been admitted, live have been discharged, and there has
been one death. Of the total number dbcharosi six
men and 30 wows. had recovers.'. and sis men and seven
women were relieved. The percentage .4 ma. cries on
the admisvion is 33k. The percentage of Ileaths is
rather over eight on the number ..f inmates ; last year
It was only 4. The rate .4 maintenance has been 1a2.4
per diem in the first and last quarter and Is Id ;ler
diem in the two middle quarters. The Visitors speak
in the highest terms of appros al .4 the tuedical ruper•
intendent and the medical assistant, as well as of all
the officials. The Commissioners in Lunacy haring
called attention to the imperfect state 1.1 the provision
against fire, a powerful engine with all necessary hose
and apparatus ILA been purchased. and two additional
water tanks have been constructed. The coin-
mivesionere also record their Imi sn that the attendance
at Divine service of an as erage of 156 patients and the
return of about 306 patients as employed in v arious
ways in the two asyltuns, is in:sib...pmts., and that more
satisfactory results might be obtained. In other
respects, as regards the fool, clothing, bedding, and
accommodation, the conimissionens espress themselves
well satisfied, as well as with the general '-.sal manage-
ment of the asylums. The loan account for building
and furnishing the new asylum shows an amount
remaining due of £31,600. The report .4 the Corn-
otimioners In Lunacy, dated June 4th, 1878, in
spearing of the general management of the asylums
mays :-" Athough there are many points in which
Improvement is necessary and possible, we gladly give
credit for much that has already been effected,
and for the general g.ssi nuuusgement .4 these
asylums." The medical superintendent, in the
course of his report to the Visitors, remarks :-" We had
more re-admissions this year than for many years past;
but no special cause can be assigned :yet I cannot help
believing that there is a growing dislike amongst rela-
tives and friends to receive those ssainectssi with thou
from the asylum, and I an. not sure this Is at all
surprising, because every one must know that for a
long time considerable care and attention is necessary
for patients when discharged, and relative* having
their daily bread to win are hardly able to lose time
for other purposes; in such cases properly-administered
relief will do much, preventing immediate Pre,
anxiety, and want, and thus materially tending to
prevent relapses. " Ile also says: "My two valued
medical assistants still remain here, and with pleasure
I record the fact that very much of the good working
of the institution* anti the happy results therefrom is
honestly due to them." Voluminous statistical tables
are appended to the report.
