Alderbury. The application came from the incumbent,
the Rev. J. H, Cartwright. The churches in these
parishes were in a very dilapidated condiiion, One of
them, in fact, being unfit for use. tinder these circum-
stances and as the parishes ere contiguous, it is proposed
to unite the latter into one benefice, to take down both
churches and to erect an entirely new edifice capable of
sooommOdating the inhabitants of the two parishes at
an estimated expenditure of about £2,500, of which
amount 421,590 has already been provided. The pope-
lation of Winterbourne Earls is 276 and Winterbourne
Dauntsey, 171—total 447; and the new ehnrch which is
to be built in the former parish on a suitable site, the
property of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England,
Is to seat 303 persons, the whole of the sittings to be
free. A long discussion took place, which resulted in a
grant of £l2O being made towards the work contem-
plated. The only other business was in reference to
grants already promised, and the following payments
were ordered to be made; in the two latter casses, how-
ever, when the secretaries have obtained the requisite
signatures as to the works baying been completed :
£2OO towards the new church which has been erected
and reoently consecrated at Sorensen, in the parish of

A BULLOCK AT THE TOP OF • HOUSE.—OE Monday
morning, as a bullock, the property of Messrs. Snook
; and Son butchers, of Salisbury, was being driven along
the Butcher-row, it suddenly turned round and darted
Into the house of Mr. B. Morris, grocer. Being unable
to turn in the narrow passage in which it found
itself, the animal proceeded up an equally circum-
scribed staircase to the top of the house (three stories
high), and then ran into • small room, used for
storing cheese, facing the Market-place. By this
time several hundred persons bad congregated in front
of the house, and considerable excitement was mani-
fested, as the bullock was rather • wild one, and it was
believed that it would be quite impossible for it even to
get out of the room, as the piles of cheese only allowed
just sufficient space for it to stand, much lees to turn
round. In this dilemma it was proposed to shoot the
animal, and a ladder was planed against the Ileum
and a gun procured for the purpose, but it was after-
wards feared that if the first shot should not prove
fatal a scene of an alarming nature would ensue,
to say nothing of the disagreeable inconvenience
of making a slaughter-house of • store filled with
cheese. It was determined, consequently, on wooed
consideration, to try other means before adopting
this last resource. It was next, therefore, in:waded
that if the window could be got oped the poor brute
would in all probability jump out, notwithstanding the
great height. No one, however, seemed inclined to run
the risk of mounting the ladder and being tossed off
again in order to raise the sash, and oonsirquentiv this
had to be accomplished by means of a grapnel let doves
from the roof. The bullock, however, when this new
mode of egress was opened to him, instead of )uuiptog
right out of the window at once, and breaking it. neck
in the descent, as was expected, contented Use?! LiY
forcibly ejecting a large tray and box, by M Clad
of its horns, into the street, and putting its head old
of the window, quietly sureeyed the spectators, to
the intense amusement particularly of the juvenile por-
tion of the assemblage. Another propositios was ulti-
mately made, which proved more succeeder, and that
to knock a hole through the wall of as adjoining room
and to get at him by means of sticks in that way. This
was done, and by • violent effort the bullock, after
knocking down and trampling on the cheese, got round
and forced his way down stairs again into the Week
where he was secured and driven to the slaughterhouse
and killed.

CITY PETTY Session, Monday.—Fresent : James

Damage. —Frederick Clarke, of Castle-street, was
summoned by William George Godwin, broker, of
Endless-street, for wilfully breaking • window, and
doing damage to the amount of 4s. on the 3rd
October. This ease was understood to have arisen
out of a certain " Wife seeking Adventure,"
reported • fortnight ago. A cares de visite of the
defendant having got into the possession of the
complainant, he exposed it for sale in his window.
This fact coming to the knowledge of Mr. Clarke, he
called at the shop on the 29th September, and
demanded the picture. Godwin was not at home,
and Mrs. Godwin refused to give it up. On the 3rd
inst., Clarke called again, and seeing a young man
named Wheeler, said " I want that likeness out of
the window." Wheeler said " I cant let you have
it; you had better come when Mr. Godwin is here."
Clarke said, " I shan't come any more," and
without further ado, he smashed the window, and
carried away the photograph in triumph.
It was for this that the summons was homed.
Defendant, who conducted himself somewhat
violently, complained that G-odwin and • person
named &nibs had injured and scurrilised him.
They had sent him forged letters from respectable
female, and the matter was not likely to end where
it was. He had been credibly informed that a
pinyon named Jefferies obtained the portrait from a
little girl named Sawkins, who found it in Catherine-
street, where he happened to drop its fortnight ago.
—Mr. Hussey asked the complainant why be bad
placed the portrait in his window ?—Godwin replied
that it was put there with others for sale. He had
the portrait of a much nobler man than the defen-
dant there, vii., Sir Colin Campbell. He had the
picture from Mr. Curtis's son, in New-etreet, who
showed it to the defendant, but he said he did not
want it.—Mr. Hussey told the defendant that he
was not justified in breaking the window. If he
wished to get the carte de vieite returned, he ought
to have acted in a proper manner. He must pay •
fine of 20s. and costs, or be imprisoned for 14 days.
—Defendant said he would " take the imprison-
ment," but he very soon thought better of it, and
paid the money.
