After the reading of the usual Royal proclamation
on the subject of morality and general good behaviour,
His Lordship delivered
Till CHARGE.
The Lord Chief Justice said it was his grateful
privilege to congratulate the Grand Jury upon • very
slight calendar. But, although it wee slight in point
of numbers, he could not help observing that in this,
as in the neighbouring county of Wilts, and indeed, of
Hampshire too, that some of the cases, if he could
judge from experience, by going back in hie own mind
to the many years he had passed formerly upon that
circuit, that there was a somewhat growing increase of
crimes of an abominable kind. Amongst the seven
upon the calendar—two or three were remanded from
the last assizes, and coneequently did not belong to
this, leaving only five—out of that number there were
Iwo of that character. What this atom from it was
very difficult to say; hut, he supposed it was from
that want of proper education, which, in spite of all
that was being done throughout the country,
existed, but which wan happily confined to those
classes among whom these crone. arose. There was
only one other cam to which it was necessary to draw
their attention. It was a very painful one, and one
that would give them some little trouble in its investi-
gation. It was that of George Lacey, who wan
charged with the manslaughter of his wife, Sylvia
Lamy, at Thorncombe, and it was alleged that death
wig brought about by wilful neglect on the part of the
husband, in not supplying the woman, who was bed-
ridden, with proper fool. Hie Lordship pointed out,
at extreme length, the different degrees of manslaughter,
and having told the Grand Jury that although their
number now wee only 20, yet, es in former times when
It was 23, 12 would still have to agree before • bill
could be found, he dismissed them to their duties.
• FIGHT RETWRIIN SAILOR& •
Alfred Alesaackr (22), seaman (meander{ from the
last Assizes), of imperfect education, was charged
with maliciously inflicting crievous bodily harm upon
Peter Mackenzie, with an ir-n bolt, at Bridport.
Mr. Lock prosecuted; Mr. Coale defended.
The men were shipmates, and there had been bad
blood between them. On November 27, according to
the evidence of another sailor, Mackenzie Was running
the prisoner down. Prisoner heard it, and in a fit of
rage took up • belaying pin with which he Orrick
Mackenzie sarong the beau, rendering him insensible,
and inflicting several severe wounds.
Mr. Castle made an earnest appeal to the jury in
behalf of the unfortunate prisoner, who had been in
prison for nine months, and asked them to take a
merciful vw of the awe, and, considering the great
provocation which had been given, to find him guilty
of a common assault.
The Judge, in summing up, said it was not a
spestion for the jury—that of mercy—that was 3 con-
sideration for the judge.
The prisoner here withdrew his former plea, and
pleaded guilty.
The Judge sail he thought the justice of the rise
would be satisfied by keeping him to hard labour for a
week.
THE CHAIDIC OF KILIAN() A MFG AT lITALECT.
A flax-dresser named (kor9e Lamy, 'wed el, a
native of Somerset, and of no education, was charged
with the manslaughter of Sylvia Lacey, at Thorn-
combs. He pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Templar was for the prosecution.
The prisoner and his wife had lived at Thorncombe
for the lest two year*, he being by trade a flax-
dresser, although he hail no regular employment.
Neighbours who were called as witnesses state.' that
they lived in the most abject poverty, and their house
was in a wretched condition. They had three children
living with them, the eland being 14. During the
whole of the time they had resided in the parish the
wife had been very ill, and lately bedridden. She
Was most emaciated and in a filthy state, and had
scarcely had sufficient to keep body and soul together,
whilst on the other hand the prisoner's dog had been
seen eating broth. The prisoner was in the habit of
going away and leaving her with no one to attend to
her.
Aranes Lacey. • poor little child of 14, was called to
te this, and she said she fed her mother some-
times with broth made of water and bread; but dm
had gone all day without any. The child said she
tried to clean the house, but she could not clean her
mother she was so dirty. lier father sometimes
brought home some bread, but never any meat. She
gave her mother some bread before she died.
In answer to the Judge, she said she recollected
some mutton being sent, which was given to the dog!
She remembered groceries being sent in, and mother
had some of it, but she could not recollect a packet
being sent there just before she died.
The Judge told the prisoner it was right he should
know why he put these questions, it was became there
was proof that these things had been sent by the
relieving officer.
The neighbours., it appears., did what they could for
her, and took her in tea and bread. She also received
relief from February up to the time of her death, on
the Bth of May. Whether she ever gut the money
thee nest was not known.
A neighbour, Jane Bowditah, stated that some time
during the winter when she was in a very bad state,
and had not enough to eat and drink, the prisoner
actually sent back se. fel, to the pariah saying he
would have no more relief, and if it was sent again be
would again send it hack.
Prisoner here said he sent it back because he was
afraid of being summoned.
Prisoner : Did you ever know me ill-treat my wife !
Mrs. Bowditch : Well, George, I have heard great
rows in the house, late and early, and you have driven
your children out of doors naked, late at night.
Mr. Samuel Griffen, relieving officer to the A:min-
der Union, described the wretched state of the house
and the quantity of "relief" which had been given.
The witness stated that when he sent the Is., which
was sent back, it was accompanied with the threat
distil he did not support his wife mei family he would be
RalarnOned. The deceased wan under the rare of Dr.Wille.
Her illness resulted from the want of a proper supply of
nutriment; and five or six weeks before her death he
remonstrates' with the prisoner for keeping her with-
out food, and told him the fact that he kept a large
lurcher dog for poaching kept people from
relieving him. He inspected the body after death. It
was filthy, and only skin and bones—no flesh at all.
She died of starvation.
Called upon for his defence, he handed in a written
document of some length. It stated that his wife,
after an accident, complained that eat what she would
It did her no good. Ile was also very ill himself from
rupture. Ile believed hi, wife to be insane at times,
and did not know what she said. He did everything
he could for his wife.
In summing up the Chief Justice explained that a
person who by the culpable neglect of a duty cad upon
him by the law, brought about the death of another,
was guilty of manslaughter. In thie cam before
them, they must be satisfied of two things. First,
whether the conduct of the prisoner, by keeping her
without food killed his wife; and next that he had

me to suggest that you should put yourself in rommunica-
tam with the Rector of Shaftesbury with reference to the
circumstances under which he left his situation as Master

I This was written by Mr. Sykes to Mr. Creed, secretary of

. for defendant.
I Mr. Kedwav, of Dartmouth, was the owner of the ship
Scout, and Messrs. Waterman and Co., of Poole, liirset,
and Twillingate, Newfoundland, were charterers and con-
signees of cargo. It aprears that the shin was cast await
and abandoned (off Triton Island, Cireenbay. or Notre
Dame Bay, Newfoundland) by the captain and crew. She
was salved by a party of six, and realised by Mossra
Waterman and Co. giving bonds to the amount of £2,000.
The salvors took their case to the Court. and
it was arranged that £9OO currency, about £7511 sterling.
' should be paid to the salvors. The defendant urged that
I the agreement was for .£loo ; hut it appeared that this was
the sum named by only two of the salvors. The present
action was brought to recover front the owners the sum
of .i.:200 17s. 10,1. for an average contribution. The total
! amount pall under general average statement was
i £l.lO 1%.
'Tho principal dispute appeared to be about the item of
' £9OO currency, paid for the salvage of the ship at New-
foundland.
The Judge considered that the sum of £9OO was properly
paid.
A verdict oos.s given for the plaintiff for the amount
, claimed, subject to new average stattment, if required

first statement.

know not. That person was, during the time he Was
there, lawfully and properly in charge of the
living. I know not whether all the ecclesiastical
formularies were complied with, but at all events, the
Bishop, in the absence ggf any other arrangements, has
the power of putting him in charge of the living during
the vacancy, and he (the Bushop) receives either into
his own hands through his chancellor, or by the hands
of the sequestrat- se during the pendency or vacancy the
proceeds of the living. Thom proceeM, of course, he

of the living IS4 the regular incumbent has after his
institution. The whole preceeds are received from
time to time as they fall dne and go either into the
handl; of sequesrtraters. or, as is commonly the cage,
to avoid trouble, into the hands of the churchwardens.
lOn your being instituted to the living about Christmas.,
1674, six months tithes were slue in January, 1875, and
were received by the churchwardens. It may lie—
and I give no opinion upon that—that as you were
Instituted in December, that you were entitled in point
of strict law to the reception of all profits of the living
, which had accrued from former months, hut, AR Mr.
Whitehessi had been properly appointed comervor of
the spiritual interests of the living, you could only
take tithes in January, subject to the payment of any
lawful ineurnbrances upon them, one being, the pay-
ment of Mr. Whitehead for his duties during the
supervening months. Therefore it was purely a
technical question, whether it was you or the church-
werdens, who ought to' pay him. He was entitled to
payment for his eervicee, and you only were entitled
to such proceeds of the living as remained after all
legal charges, and amongst them the payment of the
pro tenspore incumbent, had been discharged. It
appears, however, that you, as far as I can make out,
insisted upon your right— which I by no means nay is
not a legal one—to receive the whole of the tithes, and
because the churchwardens, plainly, as far as I can
see, acting bona Me, and at all events having clearly
received the tithes for the past months, and paid Mr.
Whitehead, HIM which in all justice he was entitled to
have from somebody, either from the churchwardens
or yourself—you conceived the notion that some
attempt had been male to defraud von of your
rights, and you wrote a series of letters, some
of which lie before me, culminating in the
libel the subject matter of the indictment, and
for which I have to pass sentence. I have read all
those letters, and have read the libeL I don't wish to
pain you. I don't wish to distress yme or to make

than it is, by reading out passages from the letters and

with whom y-ou were at variance, I have seldom read.

flowers and foliage plants, the latter including great
eplendidly coloured things, apparently allied to the
nettles but blazing in bronze, pink and fawn were
some beautiful parrots and small singing birds, with
which Mr. Baker, id Maiden-street, had enlivened the
show, and these pretty things seemed apaite at home.
After turning the corner where Colonel Swatlielile
bloolning wawa spre.ad deliciona perfume., the first
that strikes you is the magnificent show of wild
flowers, which oast the judges half-an-hour before they
tumid decide, and Wilidt were no tioUbi One of the
finest features in the exhibithm. A very pretty
arrangement with many ("met-me-note took one,
fancy ; but several of the groupings were most
tasteful. The hunches of grasses, numbering three
or four dozen, were very graceful, and of the
wild flower bouquets, a oilleetiou in which marsh-
mdiows were im•s .. ill ent was prettily mixed with f erns
and greases, and won the first prize. The most lively
roses were on the same benchem, and luscious bunches
of grapee, sent, by Mr. 11. Deveni.h, peaches, straw.
berries, grape*, and currants, by Mr. King, while
'Mr. John Grover also sent a tempting collection of
strawberries. A pretty series of surprises was brought
about by the art with which the various garden
beauties were nungled, thus, all at once we came npon
some lovely ;obits of pansies sent by the Mimes
'lldselton, and here an epergne of blushing roses from
Mrs. John Ltinalie, a decidedly handsome epergne of
flowers from Miss Hannotne, of St. John s-terrace,
relieved by delicate and curious ferns sent by Mr.
King, and, just above, pretty parroquets tranquilly
looked from their cages on the scene. Not far off wan
a choice collection of butterflies, and Mr. Edwin
Dunn's name here appears attached to a large number
of roses in tasteful vases, and just above Wee is lemon
tree from Southdown, with miniature Iciness among
the leaven. Mrs. S. Wallis, of St Dlary-street,
had proved her good taste with a gracefully
arranged epergne if grasses and flowers, than
which we saw nothing prettier' and it wad
dewo veiny "highly commended." Very different,
but most gratifying to the kind heart ad Mr. Edwards,
was the next part of the show ; here the union children
brought the wild flower bouquets fur which they had
ransacked hill and dale, the delicate petals of these
being set off by the green fronds id the ferns. Screens
beai ing fern leaves awl butterflies are at the east end
of the tent. A little farther on, passing lovely double
and single geraniums, we happen upon a choice collec-
tion of vegetables of twelve sorts, eliown (not for ce,ILI•
petition) by Mr. 'l'. It. Charles, as specimens of the
produce of Little-field Gardens, and Mr. Charles twist
be a good gardener to raise such onions,, peas, anal
as he here showed. By this time we have
come to the door of the tent, and, although we
are conscious of omitting to notice many f the
beauties, there is no room to look again ; or pierce
through the fast-increasing crowd, for Mr. Edwards
has appeared in the garden, and around him are
gathered 20 union boys under Mr. Wright's care, anal
23 union girls, looked after by Miss Leworne. To
th each of ese Mr. Edwards gives a bright new eixpence,
with some kind words, anal they go off delighted, after
an adventuruun lad has led three cheers for Mr.
Edwards.
About half-past three, accompanied by the Mayor,
Mr. It N. Howard, Mr. Rowland Thom., Mr. W.
Talbot, Mr. J. G. Rowe, and Mr. T. S. Wallis, our
beloved member happened to come upon a piece of
sward facing the marquee, when Mr. Thiselton, the
very industnous assistant-secretary, at once seized the
convenient moment, and, stepping forward with a
beautiful bouquet, said that he hail great pleasure on
behalf of the working classes of Weymouth in giving
Mr. Edwards a hearty welcome to their floral sahibi.
thm, trusting that he would be spared for many years
to renew the visit. lie hail great [demure, on behalf
of the Mayoress, Mrs. Lundie, in asking his acceptance
of the bouquet.
Mr. EDWARDS replied—Mr. Thbielton, ladies, and
gentlemen, I am very much obliged to you for the
compliment you have paid me in making me such an
elegant present. My efforts have always been cheer-
fully devoted to advance the interests of Weymouth,
and it shall be my pleasure to continue them. I am
much gratified to see so large a concourse present, and
to witness the great success which has resulted from
the efforts of the committee, for, judging from the
show of last year, I dial not expect so good a result as
this. (Hear, and applause.)
The MAYOR was very happy ti endorse the remarks
made by Mr. Thiselton. Mr. Edwards is always •
welcome visitor to Weymouth, might he long be such
a visitor, and may we long have the advantage of his
emasection with the town. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Eowantes expressed his obligation to Mr.
as Mayor, and three hearty cheers were then
given for the beloved member.
A memento of this interesting part of the proceed.
ingn was preserved by photographs taken by l.
Mr. Edwards next visited the show marquee and
contributed his bouquet to the collection. He
bestowed much praise upon the salient features of the
show, especially noting the fine gathering of plants
sent from the cottager,' windows.
'flue vegetable tent, kept by Mr. P. Dobson, was
also visited, and P.C. Bartlett's Coombe flay potatoes,
also some fine green peas from Mr. Newman, of
Walpole-terrace, came in for notice by the party. By
this time the gardens and the marquee had been visited
by so large a number of the principal and general
inhabitant' of Weymouth that it would be impossible
, to give anything like an adequate list in the apace at
our command. Suffice it that the "upper ten" and
the "sovereign people" were equally well represented.
But the gathering was far larger in the evening, for
it was announced that at If o'clock Mr. Edwards
would distribute the prizes in the New Gardens. This
WM the crowning event of the day, and filled up the
measure of satisfaction. An immense ring was
formed, in the inner circle of which sat the principal
ladies of Weymouth and neighbourhood, while both
sexes, and all ranks and ages swelled the throng.
Shortly after eight o'clock, Mr. Edwards, accom-
Freby a number of friends, made his appearance
i ring, and was received with hearty cheers,
again and again repeated.
Mr. G. Prior Goldney bore • large bagful of
money, consisting of silver coins, each new, and dated
with the year of the exhibition. Around the table
assembled the Mayor (Mr. Lundle), Mr. R. N.
Howard, Mr. R. Thomas, Mr. J. U. Rowe, Mr. W.
M. Thiselton, Mr. J. J. H. Longman, Dr. Smith,
Dr. Moorhead, Mr. Councillor I'. Wallis, Dr. H.
Tizard, Rev. V. F. Rename, Rev. W. Lewis, Itev,
W. Smith, Dr. Moorhead, Mr. James Roberteen, &c.,
and In the front row were • large number of ladies.
'!'he MAYOR, addressing the assembly as his "dear
friends," said he had the very great honour and
pleasure of introducing to them a well-known friend,
who was about to-night to distribute some prises,
which he was quite sure were in every installs* well
deserved. He trusted that, so far oaths committee se-
enabled to do so, full justice would be don* to u"
cottager@ who had sent to the very successful
lug to-day. Last evening he had the pleasure
round with our member to look at the varieties
entered for competition. To Mr. Edwards
himself it was an exceedingly proud and p
fact that, though only two years ago the

THE COTTAGERS' GARDEN SHOW AT
WEYMOUTII.
The finest ~f beautiful weather favoured the hopes
of our cottaeers at the commencement of the week of
the year, the special occasion when Mr. Edwards's
regard is specially manifested for them 3,4 a class.
Everybody 'knows that Our Member is ever ready to
help individual I.:VeA liberally, and the amount of
happiness he gives by relieving anxiety, suffering. and
want, we believe it is impossible to tell inlequately
before the mind. But Mr. Edwards aims also to raise
the whole tune of the working classes by setting them
at the refining occupation for their leisure moments,
of tending flowers. This he has sedulously fostered
by the ,fistrilintion of the little book entitled "What
man Window Gardens do for our Health?' avid a very
liberal devotion ,d ineney for prizes to be given in
every department of cottagers' horticulture. A chief
item has been the gardening in windows, where we
have seen choice and varied specimens of flowering
plants, some not at all common, and often very taste-
fully arranged, and the effect of these efforts, even the
humblest, has been to light up sometimes very dingy
th .. gltfares, with rare displays of floral beauty,
adding the hits of bright colour, and out making sun-
shine in a shady place. The prizes offered were :-
WINDOW EggiiierioX.-To the person who shall have
the best display and arrangement of Growing Flowers
in his or her window. Pint prize, one sovereign ; second
prize, ten shillings; third prize, seven shillings; fourth
prize, four shillings.
No lees than forty-two windows were entered for com-
petition, • much larger number than olk the previous
occasions, and the judges, Messrs. Newberry and Parsons
(of Upwey) who were assisted by Mr. Gutwillor
Charles and Mr. Graham, in inspecting the whole of the
windows on Monday morning had • very difficult task.
On account of so large a number of the windows being
no very good. The prizes offered for competition by Mr.
Edwards were awarded to Mrs. George Dowell, of
Prospect-piace Mrs. 11 arburton, Town-lane; Mr. Wor-
land, ; and Mrs. George Butt, Wilton-
terrace. 1 hese were so good that it was imposoible for
the judges to say which window was best, therefore the
four prizes were divided equally among there, viz.,
10, 6.1. each.
The judges spoke very highly of several of the other
exhibitors, owl Mr. F. lwarda has since decided that to
encourage them to continue their exertions he should give
them a reward of .ss. each, these mulled are as follows
Biddleconibe, Chispelhay ; Mrs. Carter, Weston-
terrace; Mrs. Canterbury, Lower Bond-street; Mrs.
Cornish, Wilton-terrace; Kra. Foot. Burdon'sbuddings ;
Me. Wu, Bent, Chars:they : Mrs. Pitcher, Pasteral-placa ;
Mr. WM. Squibb. Weston Cottage ; Mrs. Atkins, Lower

Miss Guy, Oakley, place; Miss Jacket, Uwe-lane.
Ferns-Extra prize, James Worland, (3, Trinity-road.
The Judges expressed their opinion to the Mayor
(Mr. Lundie) and a committee, that the flowers
generally exhibited a marked improvement on the
Window Gardening in Weymouth during the year 1875
and 1870, and they further stated that in some
instances the flowers are equally good as those pro
-
ducal in gentlemen's greenhouses. It was also a
pleasure to note that, not only was there an improve-
ment in the appearance of the windows of the working
classes, but the immediate neighbourhood of their
dwellings, their yards, &c., showed attempts at
decoration.
'fhis was a very gratifying commencement of the
prize competitions, and nothing but fine weather
seemed to be required for the show of horticulture in
the New Gardens on Wednesday. Our worthy Mayor,
with that thoroughness which characterises him,
seconded to the utmost Mr. Edwarda's wishes, and
acted as chairman of committee; Mr. R. N. Howard
was secretary, Mr. Walter H. 'fhiselton gave much
time and did much valuable work as assistant
secretary, and Alderman Thomas, Councillor Charles,
Councillor Wallis, Mr. J. G. Rowe, and Mr. Andrew
Graham, also laboured assiduously on the committee.
Mr. F. C. Steggall and Mr. J. G. Rowe kindly con-
sented to act as judges of the flowers; and Messrs.
Newberry and Parsons of the vegetables, as well as of
the Window Gardens. A fine marquee RSA pitched
in the Rings Pleasure Gardens, and it was arranged
that Signor Vangucci's Italian Band should play
during Wednesday afternoon, when the Show was
open to the public. To crown the gratification of all
residents interested in the Exhibition, the founder
himself arrived on Tuesday evening, and was received
by the Mayor.
All doubt about the SUCCeHa of the show was at an
end by Wednesday morning, for flowers poured into
the pleasure garden in great abundance, No that it was
clear we should have at all events • first-rate display
of stove plants and ferns; the cottagers added their
contributions of humbler flowers; and bouquets and
designs, in flowers, grasses, and ferns, were rapidly
aided to the gathering collection. Although this is
such a very backward season for the vegetables, FO
many of these arrived that it was advisable to have a
separate tent for the "permanent flowers," as a gen-
tleman approvingly called them in the course of the
day. Considerable crowds gathered around the flag-
adorned railing of the garden, and those who had no
excuse for intruding, looked curiously through evi-
dently deeply interested in the whole affair. Mr.
times had rapidly put up a large marquee, about 4811.
long by a proportionate breadth, obtained from Mr.
Kent, *en., of Ilminster, and fitted it with tiers of
show benches, while Mr. Supt. Vickery, Mr. Coun-
cillor Charles, Mr. Councillor Wallis, Mr. J. G. Rowe,
and others, vied in lending the help needed. Mr.
IL N. Howard, the secretary, and Mr. Walter M.
Thiselton, assistant secretary, being everywhere. Mr.
P. Dodson, too, ably managed at the vegetable show,
which was in a smaller tent, from Mr. J. Hayman
The judges gave their awards as follows :-

NISI PRILTS.-TCESDAT.
(Before Sir N. LINDLEY.)
Digby v. J. B. Frost.—This was an action to recove
t=ion of • farm at Chilthorne Domer.—Mr. Pether-
nstructed by Meagre Ffooks, appeared tor plaintiff;
Mr. Collins. Q.C., instructed by Mr. Jolliffe, for defen-
dant —Mr. }looks, his clerk Mr. Tuffin, and L.
Hodges, a rural postman in the Yeovil district, were
called to show that notice to quit had been sent through
the post. The latter said he had loft defendants letters,
Including three or four registered letters, with Ann
Mitchell and got receipts from her signed by Frost. Ile
left • registered letter for him on the 2flth September last.
—ln cross-examination, he said he had left letters for
others with MIL MitcbelL—Mr. T. Macklin. PoetMester
of Yeovil, Ins called to prove the passage of the registered
letter, but his books being in the handwriting of clerks,
his evidence was objected to, and was not pressed.—Ann
Mitchell, of Tintinhull-road. Chilthome Domer, said she
lived about half -a-mile from defendant, and took in his
letters. She received a registered letter last autumn and
gave it with oilers to • work-boy of defendant's, telling
him he wan to bring back the receipts. Ile never did so.
—Cross-examined: She could not read nor write. At one
time she thought she had given the letter to a boy named
Banfield, but found he did not go into Frost's service till
the latter end of October.—Mr. Petherliain : That is the
plaintiff's mat my li-ed.—The Judge: Don't young' the boy(
(Laughter.)—At the suggestion of his lordship, Mr. Collins
at once called the defendant, John B. Frost, who swore:
In September or October of last year I never received
this notioe to quit, or • registered letter. In cross-examina-
tion he said his letters were sometimes left with Mrs.
Mitchell, and sometimes brought to his hossa—Re-
examined .• The last registered letter he received
waa in March last, and be gave • receipt for
it at his house.—The Judge told plaintiffs counsel he
could not call evidence to contiadict defetibuit Mr.
Petherharn quoted Chief Baron Pollock, to the effect that
it was sufficient to show that a notice had been posted, to
make it good. A poet office was a perfectly legal channel,
for the service of such • notice, and the service is sufficient.
(Roscoe) even if shown that the letter dives not reach the
hands of, the party. The learned Cozumel contended this
was • parallel cam with payment by cheque, tin ough the
post. The Jodie said he thought it would be unaafe to
proceed on this loose proof, when it was proved by his
own oath that he never got it at all.—Verdict for defend-
ant, with coca.
