ARBITRATION —The gad of Synne v. Groves, which
was referred from the Weymouth Conaty Court, came
on for hearing, on Mondey, the 13th instant, at the
King's Arms Hotel, in this town, before the arbitrator
appointed, Daniel Symonds, Esq. The proceedings
were quite of • bueolio diameter, being a dispute as to
a dairy which had been rented by defendant in the
Porteslaam Yale, and excited mueh local interest. We
will announce the arbitrator's decision when given.
A novel feature In this case was that the Court was
enabled to conduct the proceedings without the speeches
or examinations, "emu" or otherwise, of the learned
' advocates on each side (Messrs. Weston and Howard)
their presence being by consent dispensed with. Both

MARVILLOUe EsCare OF A RAILWAY PORTIIR.-
1 on Thursday morning a porter named Edwin WhittY,
Iwho has been employed at the Great Western
' Railway Station, Dercheeter, for the but three or four
months, had as narrow an troupe from instant death as
ever man had. As the passenger train from Wey.
, mouth at 9.20 was drawing up to the platform, Whitt),
' who was on the down side of the station, jumped down
to the line, three or four feet below the platform level,
with • view to passing between the carriages when the
train we. brought to a standstill. The Station.
Muter (Mr. Precise) aed others on the up-side
saw • goods train close at hand on the down line, and
shouted to Whitty to get oat of the way, but the caution
was too late ; the good. train came rushing sling, and
use of the buffers of the engine struck Whitty in the
back, end he was knocked forward. He fell between
the down-rails, end the train of nearly 20 truck, passed
over him, to the indeseribable horror of all present.
Whitty wan dragged a short distance by the train—pro-
