THE DORSET COUNTY EXPRESS AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1871.

In hill speech at lialifax,on primary education.
Mr. Lowe did good service by insisting on the
paramount importance of teaching children to
road, and we oommend his words to the serious
attention of school managers, for there is a
strange tendency now-a-days to give a smsttering
of many things rather than a thorough grounding
In elements, which alone our primary schools
ought to attempt. This is what Mr. Lowe says—
A child who leaves school able to read perfectly
—as easily, that is, as every child in the middle
and upper classes can read—has a power of
acquiring knowledge which is limited only by his
own bates and opportunities. A child who leaves
school able to road imperfectly, no matter what
amount of knowledge may have been crammed
into him while there, "will in a few years be as
If he had never been at school at all."

POACHING IN THE HIGHWAY.
A POPULAR FALLACY EXPLODED.

20110 ARMIDIII. flaxiti, iIIWU 1.800, and UllOllOll
of C orseombo, were summoned for trespassing at Itampisham.
Mr. lioskett prosecuted, and mid the landowners in Cost neigh-
bourhood hO.l ssflered a good dosl from per. ons mho thought
they lasol a right to sport with dugs awl gino on the highway,
thinking they had a right to use the public roads for all
purposes, instead 01 simply to walk, or ride, or drive over it.
He quoted Olen on Highways In support of thie view, and the
Bench acquiesced in that statement of the law.
John Trovett, keeper to Mr. Kadin, said that on the morning
of 13th November he Saw sleferodanta, and in the afternoon
again. Mr. Hanna had a eon, the others sticks, and three dogs.

of their beating the hedges at different times. By the Bench :
Didn't see where the rabbit caone from. Mr. Williams said
there was no doubt that firing a .hot on another man's field
was a trespass.
Ilanne mid the rabbit was shot in the water-table and not In
the ditch, and as soon as I shut id the gun and killed the
rabbit the dog went into the field. The rabbit was put up in
Mr. Pope's hedge on the other side of the road.
Joseph Gm said the rabbit came from the opposite side of
the road to Mr. Chedd's and Mr. lianne shot it. They were
walking in the middle vi the road.
Wareham said he picked up the rabbit after it was shot.
Mr Ilaekett mid the object of the proceedings was to show

Pined 108 each and costa. Mr Williams said the law was
very clear—persons had a right to use the roads for walking
and driving, but not for poaching.
June Orraa, of Broadway, was summoned for having
males ball-an-ounce against the buyer, Dec. 2.
Supt. Hare found the modes on the counter.
Defendant's wife attributed it to a now scale, but mid she
never used them, and meant to send them to Mr [Aiming,
who made the male, to have it altered.
A piece of lead at the bottom of the weight scale was
euspiciously bright, aa if only recently filed down.

As to the stole of the trees in the walks, the TOWS
CLERK said ho was looking at them the other day
with Mr. Stagg'll, a groat amateur in the matter,
end he differed from Ur. Brawl*, on the question of
lopping, lie (Mr. Stagiest') hold that thelbrancihes
should have been cut off close to the trunk of the
trees, as that then back would have gradually grown
over the plum. lie (Mr. Symonds) noticed that several
of the protruding stumps were rotting, and suggested
that on them at any rate cutting close in might be tried
with advantage.
Mr. COOMBS sold the trees ought to have been
thinned and trimmed after about 20 years' growth, but
it was not eons, and he thought it would be well to
try Mr. Steggall's suggestion to see if • healthy growth
of bark f Mowed.
Mr. Gatooar said that as there wu considerable
difforeno, of opinion on the subject of craning, the
committee preferred eliciting the views of the Counoil.
Mr. °ELFIN thought the plan suggested some time
ago of taking down so many trees yearly and renewing
them the best.

" difficult to got blood out of stone," but one or two cam
which have several times been before this court lately, go far
to prove it is not less easy to tot money out of debtors who
are resolved not to pay. The judgment Warren e. mai,,r was
wain on the list. It was adjourned from last inonth for Mr.
Westoo (for plaintiff) to produce evidence as to ilefenilant's
means, cud the learned advocate called two witnesses to prove
that defendant, although he asserts that ever since May last
he has been living by the sale of " • few tram" and has "no
money, no nothing," freqiiente the Antelope tap and other
public-house*, and there playa cants for pints of beer-8 or 9
game, a night—and that boding on the results accompanies
the play. Questioned himself on the subject, Skijor unwill-
ingly told what he had done. Asked how many time. he had
played with one man since the last court, he said "You only
find that out yourselL" The Judge ; Ammer the question, or
you'll probably go to prhson.—" Sell," he said," I might have
played for half • pint of porter." Mr. Weston: What money

playing at this house has the merit of eneoureg-

can spend his time in a far better way than that. Witness:
I rasure you it's a very well conducted house. Judge: It would
not be no bad if they played for threepences, but they play fur

to know what gees on there.—Supt. Coward, who was present,
said the landlord had been cautioned.—The Judge raid It seas
