SALISBITRY.—Crri Perrr Semmes, Monday,
November Z3.—Before J. Hassey, J: C. Wheeler, F.
Attwood, and T. W. Gilbert, Esqrs.
Elias Phillips, the wife of a ganger in the employ
of the Great Western Railway Company, was charged
with stealing • stove brush from the shop of Messrs.
Still and Co, Canal, and three pairs of stockings from
the shop of Mr. Targett, Blue Boar-row. The prosecutors
did not appear, and the Bench ordered the prisoner to
be discharged.
THROWING STolles.—Williami Sworn was summoned
for throwing stones in the Market-place, on Tuesday the
17th in.& The defendant admitted the offence, but
said ha did not do it with the intention of injuring
anything.- Sergeant MeGough stated that shortly after
twelve o'clock on Tuesday night he beard several
perking enter the Market-place from Winchester-street.
He heard • stone thrown, and from the sound that fel-
lows:1 he concluded that it had struck the statue of
Lord Herbert. There were five or six young men in
company with the defendant, and when seemed of the
argues they severally denied it.—He, however, had
subsequently ascertained that the defendant threw the
stone which struck a lamp-post near the residence of
Mr. Sly.—The magistrates inflicted • fine. of sa. and
"Pease,.
APPLICATION MR • WARRANT. —Mr. Henry Merrick,
from the office of Maori. Macdonald and Brodrick,
applied to the Bench on behalf of the master of the
choriaters and the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury Cathe-
dral, for • warrant under the Ist and 2nd Victoria, oil,
to recover possession of • certain house and premises in
St. Ann-street, at present held by Mr. George Sutton.—
Mr. Merrick stated that a lease of the property
was granted in 1821 for 40 years, which expired in
1861, and Mr. George Sutton was the person at
that time found in possession. Several applicatMns
had been made for possession of the premises, and Mr.
Sutton bad been served with the usual notice that if he
did not quit an application would be made to the
magistrates for a warrant.—Mr. Hussey inquired
whether the Act of Parliament under which the appli-
cation was made would apply. It appeared to him to
be limited to seven years.—Mr. Merrick said whatever
might be the term, the time had expired.—Mr. Hussey
replied that that might be, but the question was
whether they had jurisdiction in • case where
• loses had been granted for 40 years. Mr. Merrick
observed that Mr. Batton was only a tenant at
will—a tenant on sufleranoe. He was not the
original lease.. The lease was never granted to
him, but when the term expired the owners of the
property found him in possession.--Mr. Gilbert inquired
to whom the loam was granted—Mr. Merrick replied
to Mr. James Sutton, but he did not know whether he
was Mr. George Sutton's father—Mr. Gilbert presumed
that Mr. George Sutton was the executor. Mr.
Iferriek scald not say whether such was the case. The
applicants had never reckoned him as such. He paid
rent up to Miehaelotaa, 1262, to the late Mr. Alford.—
Mr. Attwood That was the rent reserved by the lease?
Mr. Merrick replied in the affirmative, and in answer to
another question put by Mr. Atterood he stated that
Mr. Sutton had Deter pad any rest since the
hags had expired. Mr. Homey said it was evident that
the Bench had no power to Woe • warrant. The set
, did not seem to apply to a forty years' lease, and if Mr.
Sutton hold unlawfully be erat not • tenant, and amid

not therefore be dealt with by the magistrates. The
application was refused.
Benjamin Jeans, who did not appear last week in
answer to the summons served upon him, was now
brought up under a warrant, charging hint with having
Incited James Bardon and Joseph Feltham to oommit •
breach of the peace, by fighting in Ifilfordetreet. on
the afternoon of Sunday, the Bth inst.—The evidence
proved without doubt that the defendant bad assisted
in the disturbance, and incited the parties to fight. —The
Bench designated it as • disgraceful affair, ordered the
prbener to enter into his own reoognizanoes in CIO, and
to find one surety in a similar amount, to keep the peace
for one month. or to be imprisoned for that period.

STEALING Coec.--George Kelley was charged with
stealing one sack of coke, the property a the Salisbury
Glaa Light and Coke Company, on Wednesday, the
11th instant. Mr. E. E. P. Kelsey appeared for
the Company, and stated that from the unmet:au
robberies that had occurred at the works, and the
zamtepsnanaytiah.dwa
against the prisoner. The circumstances were as fol.
yfelitn twbneimasetlnvesny bound to ton nopresennintlittl'eatten
lows :—A load of coke, consisting of 12 sack., or 36
bushels, was ordered to be :sent to Mr. Blackmore, Castle-
street, and the prisoner was requested to convey them
there. The prisoner was formerly in the employ of Mr.
Elliott, the haulier for the company. Lucas, the fore-
man of the works, directed two labourers to fill the
sacks, and whilst they were doing no he went into the
offioe to make out the equal delivery ticket. When
the men had filled the seeks the prisoner threw down
another, and requested them to fill that also, which they
I did, and it was placed in die cart with the others. The
I prisoner received the delivery ticket and drove off. The
superintendent of the works, Mr. Hardick, subsequently
received information that a sack of coke had on that
morning been left at the boom in the occupation of
Thomas Newton, • shoemaker, and that Mrs. Newton
had paid the prisoner 7.1. for the coke, the proper price
being 9d. !finding that the twelve sacks had been duly
delivered at Mr. Blaekmore's the superintendent in.
formed Mr. Elliott, who acsOused the prisoner with
selling cake. He admitted it, and Mr. Elliott imme-
diately discharged him.—The prisoner stated that it was
the first time he had ever wild any coke, bat from in.
quiries made it appeared that such was not correct.—
Witnesses were called who corroborated this statement.
—Mrs. Newton said she paid him for two bushels of
coke, and she thought the prisoner bad authority to
sell it. He bad several times brought coke to her house,
and also other men at the work.,—The prisoner
pleaded guilty, and expressed his sorrow for the offence.
He trneted the Bench would deal leniently with him as
be had a wife and a large family to support —ln
answer to Mr. }dummy, Mr. Kelsey stated that the
prisoner bad never been in the habit of paying the corn-
pane for any small quantities of coke. A regular
organised system bad been going on, or otherwise the
company would not have pressed the ceae.—The
prisoner was sentenced to two months' bard labour.
CoUNTT PETTY SexesSerts, Tuesday—Before General

T. E. Fowle, and W. Pinckney, &qrs.
DericiENT WEIGHT..—Mr. George Woodland, taneer,
of Downton, was summoned for having several weight.
in his poseession defective—Mr. Winton:at, of the firm
of Squarey and Whatman, appeared for the defendant
Superintendent Matthews stated that on the 4th of
November last he visited Mr. Woodland's store, at
Downton, two 56Iba weights were too heavy, and there
were several others deficient. One of the 561bs. weighta
was 340za., and the second 14oz. over-weight. The
weights deficient were one 561b5., 2jora. ; one 281ba.,
low ; one 141b5., Ina, 2 drachms; ODO 71be., los. ; one
41ha., 140 u.; one 21bs., 11 drachms ; two 11b. weights',
44 and it drachms respectively, snsl one (lb., 2 dreamt
Mr. Matthews stated that he give Mr. Woodlands notice
to send in his weights to have them properly adjusted.
He had neglected to do so, although he sent a con•
stable to him to acquaint him of the fact —Mr.
Whatman said he addressed the Bench with the
greatest possible confidence, as this case differed
very materially from others that had been brought
before them ; he was certain that when they considered
the matter fully they would have no difficulty whatever
in disiniseing the summons. The cases that generally
came before the Bench were tholes of retail shop-dealers,
and he admitted that it was highly necessary that there
should be no deficiency in their weights, as the loss to
the poor would be considerable. With Mr. Woodland@
the can was very different. He was not a retail dealer,
but • manufacturer of leather, and his dealings were
generally tons instead of pounds. Therefore the defici-
encywas so small that it was scarcely worth mentioning, I
and It was a custom of the trade that one or two pounds I
should be given over. In truth Mr. Woodland. had
been the greatest keel% as two of the weights were above
the proper weight. The weights were kept in the open
air, so that they could not be cleaned. When last
examined by the inspector they were found correct.—
Mr. Matthews stated that the weights when he visited
the defendant's stores were in a room. and were per-
fectly dry. He would also remind the Bench that Mr.
Woodlands bought as well as sold. The defendant met
him • short time since, and said it was not fair to
summons him. He said he had great interest
with the magirtrates, and he was that evening going
to dine with one. He added that if he (the super-
intendent) went on with the ease he should bring
the whole of his influence to bear against him, and
lie might repent of it. He (Mr. Matthew.) informed
the defendant that he should consider it his duty to
summon him, and that he would have his actions judged
by the public and not by him.—General Buckley said
they had not to try that matter, but merely thedefective
weights. —Mr. Whatman said he could not but blame
Mr. Woodlands for not having sent his weights to be
adjueted when notice had been sent him. It was,
however, at a time when he could not spare them.--
General Buckley sa,rl the defendant not having sent in his
weights to be adjusteithad thus fallen into this difficulty.
It arum, he thought from the very laz manner in which
they were inspected formerly. Mr. Matthews had, how-
ever, taken up the matter thoroughly, end bringing
this case before the Bench he had done no more
than his duty.—The Bench, under the circumstances.,
thought they could not fine him leas than the fall
penalty. £5 and expenses.—Mr. Woodlands : I am very
much surprised. I fully anticipated that the inspector
would he there again, when [intended having them
adjusted.--General Buckley said there was no imputa-
tion whatever against the defendant —The Bench be-
lieved that it was purely accidental ; but they should
recommend the defendant to send his weights to the
inepector to have them re-adjuated.
De:miter Mz.teears.—ffenry White, landlord of
the Green Dragon Inn, Bamford, was 'mullioned by
Superintendent Matthews, for having nine quart,
twelve pint, and one hall-pint measures unjust.—
Mr. B. M. Wilson appeared for the defendant,
and inquired under what section of the Act of Parlia-
ment the summons was taken.—Mr. Cobh (magistrates'
clerk) said it was taken out under the statute—Mr.
Wilson said as far as his experience went it bad been
his invariable practice to state under what section the
proceediugs were taken.— Mr. Marsh said it was under
all the motions in the Act—Mr. Wilson said he was not
doing it iously, and he thought not incorrectly.
After some further diamasion the magiatrateas decided
to take the case under the whole Act—Superintendent
Matthews stated that on the 2Sth Oetober last he visited the
Green Dragon Inn. He saw the young person who had
charge of the house, and after partaking of some refresh.
@sent be told her he had come there to examine her
cups. He asked where he should measure them, and she
showed him into a room at the back of the house. The
cups were brought, and theme that were defective he now
produced.—Mr. Wilson said be denied that the cups
produced were quarts or pints.—Mr. Matthews measured
some of the cups in the presence of the magistrates, and
some were found to be more than • quarter of a pint
short. In answer to the Bench the superintendent stated
that there were 26 quarts correct and 9 deficient, and
37 pinta correct and 12 ineorrect—ln erosa-exami•
nation by Mr. Wilson, Mr. Matthews stated that
the beer he purchased was brought in a ware cup.
The two pollee officers that were with him 'misted
in bringing in the cum—Mho Norton, the step-
daughter of the defendant, did not say they were
quarts,pinta, or half-pints
,; but when they had finished
the examination he inquired whether there were any
more quarts, pints, or half-pinta, and she replied in the
negative.—lnspector North stated that he took the cups
down from • shelf in the bar—Mr. Wilson, in defence,
contended that cups did not come under the same
category as weights. There was • very material differ-
ence. Landlords were compelled to have imperial
measure,, which it was stated that the defendant had,
and the Act of Parliament stated that on the purchase
of any beer the customer should be empowered to have
it measured by the imperial measure. The cups produced
were not represented to be pints or quarts, and he
submitted that every publican had a right to keep
such ware. If Mr. Matthews considered that those
measures were deficient it was his duty to have adopted
the course provided by the Act of Parliament, and when
he bad the beer brought to him he should have required
Miss Norton to measure It by the standard they had in
their possession. If they were then deficient he should
not have had a word to say. He contended that those
were not such measures as were contemplated by the
Aot of Parliament, but if they were so publicans would
be safe.— Mr. Cobb (magistrates' clerk) said the defendant
was summoned for having them in his posmemion contrary
to the statute. The 21st clause related more especially to
selling, but the 36th was the clause upon which the Bench
would act—General Beckley said the Bench had no
doubt whatever that those cups were used for the selling
of beer. The Act of Parliament held that it was an
offence to have them in their pores:Son. They were all
brought from the bar, where the beer was drawn, and
the Bench were fully persuaded that they were measures
as described in the Act. The publicans might think it
warn hard to fine them for having such meeaures when
they purchased them as pints or quarts, hut they had
their own standard measures with which they could
compare them, and if they were deficient they need not
purchase them. The penalty inflicted would be El and
expenses, and the magietrates hoped that it would be a
warning to other publicans to see that their measure.

Downton, was summoned for having "even quart.
and seven pinta unjust. Six quarts and fourteen
pints were found correct. The defendant admitted
the offence, but said he was unaware of the fact of
their being defective.—Mr. !busman said they only
wished to prevent the public being imposed upon.
—The defendant was fined lee. and meta.
Mr. Thomas Northover, New Inn, Downton, was
summoned for a similar offence.—Mr. Matthews
stated thst eight quarts and two pints were deficient,
but there were "even quarts tied twelve pints just.—

—The magistrates fined him lee. and expenses
Mr. James James, Fez and Goose Inn, Coombe,
was summoned by the Inspector of Weights and
Measure', for having several measure' in his posses-
sion unjust. The superintendent stated that this
was not such a bad case as the other". The de-
ficiency was small, and the defendant had a great
number correct.—The defendant: I think if the
dust had hem blown out of them they would have
been good measure. (Laughter.) Mr. Hinzman
If that is the case I am afraid you don't sell much
beer—Defendant: No, Sir, trade as very bad.—Mr.
Hussman said as this was not such a bad came as the
rest, they would only fine him he. and costa.
TassrAssum.—Willima Read was summoned by

George Moody for trespassing in pursuit of rabbits on
land belonging to Lord Folkestone, at Pitt Ola and
Farleigh. The complainant stated that he saw the
defendant leave his team of horses, and go into a
copse edieining, and there set a rabbit wire. The
defendant took the wire from his pocket, and
deliberately set it He (Moody) WM standing
within five yards of him when he oat the wire. The
prisoner pleaded guilty, and as this was his first
offence the Bench only fined him and costa, or a
month's imprisonment.

Salisbury he banded it to the ticket-collector, John
V. Thatcher, who took him into custody. The fare
from Broedclist to Salisbury was 6a 100. The
defendant said he wanted to go on to London, but
he had no money.—The Bench fined the defendant

DONH EA D ST. NIA RV. —lzqcss-r.—An inquest
was held at the dwelling•house of Marie Jane Jackson,
in this parish, on Monday, before R. M. Wiliam,
Eel., coroner, on the body of a newly-born female
infant, the illegitimate child of Fanny Gillard. It
appeared that the mother of the child had lived with
Miss Jackson as servant for more than three years;
and that on Saturday suspicions arose as to her
having been confined. The police were sent for,
and in one of her boxes Superintendent Dann found
the body of a child. The girl made • statement to
the effect that it was still•born. Dr. Shettle
examined the body, and could find no marks of
violence. Ile was of opinion that the child was born
alive, and in the absence of any distinct evidence of
anything to cause death, he was inclined to attribute
it to the want of attention after birth. The jury
returned the following verdict :—That the said
newly•born infant was the illegitimate child of '
Fanny Gillard, and was born alive on Friday, the
13th day of November, at Donhead St. Mary, and ,
died very shortly afterwards from want of that
attention which a newly-born infant requires." The ,
prisoner will probably be committed for trial on •
charge of concealing the birth.
TROWBRIDGE. Mieacctoes ENCAPI OF A
RAILWAY TRAIN FROM DESTRUCTION. —OR the
arrival of the 7.50 express train from Ceippenham
at Trowbridge railway statiou on Saturday evening,
the guard reported that when near the bridge at
Staverton the train experienced a great shock from
coming in contact with some hezvy substance on the
rails. Fortunately, however, the engine did not
leave the metals, but cut through the impediment,
which it was thought was a cow that had strayed
upon the line. Mr. Cox, station master, together
with Mr. W. Thomas and some workmen, accom-
panied the next uptrain as far as the spot referred
to, where they alighted, to ascertain the cause of the
obstruction. To their surprise they found a very
large baulk of timber, apparently of several hundred
weight, cut to pieces on the line. It seemed to have
(Mho from the luggage train which had passed up the
line some short time previously. The timber must
have fallen at a right angle across the line, for had it
fallen in a slanting direction, no power on earth
could have prevented the train from being shunted,
as it were, ar the line, and hurled down the em-
bankment into the river Avon, which is spanned for
some considerable width by the bridge, near which
the obstruction had fallen. The fact of this narrow
escape can only be attributed to the speed at which
the express WU going, which enabled it to cut
through this formidable obstacle. Mr. Cox had the
rails immediately cleared of the fragments of timber,
and saw the line safe for the resumption of further
traffic before quitting the vet.
Junes Brown, aged 75, one of the last of the Trafalgwr
heroes, has just died at Trowbridge. The deceased
served on bawd Lord Nelson's eagship the Victory. and
was near that distinguished hero when be received his
death wound,and assisted in carrying him below to bare
hia wound drooled. He used to relate an soecdote
connected with this event which might furnish an
admirable text for our teetotal friends to dilate upon.
Nelson's body, he hail said, was embalmed in • cask of
rum, forwent of abetter substitute, while being brought
to England. The liquor, it is well-known, is a favourite
beverage with the sons of Neptune; however, on the
arrival of Nelson's body in England, the bottom of the
cask was found perforated with bolus, and the dead
admiral lying " high and dry" as nautical phraseology
would have it, inside, and not a drop of rola to be seen.
Where the embalming liquor went to we do not pregame
to say, but, said the old sailor, it was notorious that the
sailor' bore the loss of their brave commander very well.
Whether spirits were exhilarated by the victory gained
or not could not be said.

EITRAORDINART AIINOONCENZIT FROM THE PULPIT.
—On Sunday evening, at the ole.. of his sermon, the
Rev. Thomas Mann, of the Independent chapel, Trow-
bridge, gave notice that the anniversary t..-meeting in
connection with that place of worship would take place
on Tuesday evening, but he wished it to be pertioularly
understood that they did not want any "newspaper
reporters" present. They were, he said, like • family
party, and did not wish to hays what they said published
to the world. This strange announcement created some
surprise in the congregatioc, as the town has been
plaoarded for • week past with printed invitations to the
public. 1 l'his Rev. Thomas Mann was at one time •
red-hot Wesleyan performer. He left the Conference
party during the Ever.tt, Dunn and Griffith agitation,
and one of their greatest charges against the old body
was that they transacted their affairs with closed doors.
At that time the motto of Mr. Mann, who was working

DARING ATTEMPT TO COMMIT • RAPE ON • CHILD.— ,
On Sunday evening, about half-past eight o'clock, •
girl aged 13, nained Emma Mewl, in the service of Hrs.
Bellew, wife of the barrack master, at Trowbridge, was
returning from St. Stephen's church, when she was
followed bye man who came out of the Rising San Inn.
He called out to her "not to hurry," out the girl
feeling timid. and as the night wa• dark, and the spot
lonely, ran from him towards the barrack gate, and
opened it. He ran after her, end caught her just inside
the gate, when he threw her down and attempted an
outrageous assault. Fortunately, the poor child got
her mouth free, and screamed "murder," when the
fellow decamped. Information was afterwards given to
the police, but as yet the peepetrator of this outrage
hae sot been traced.
