trespasser ab i 'alio, Mr Duke was not justified in the assault
committed. Defendant had been in poessenion of the farm
one-ands-half or two years, and it had been a subject of
annoyance to him to see plaintiff or anybscly else pass in front
of his house. Bo In June, 1870, defendant asked Williams as a
favour not to go there, but to um the road near; and to Induce
him to do this said he would get his salary increased to lei a

bwan to use his stick.
Mr &toward objected to Mt Weston's gotug into a previous
assault.
His Honour observed that clearly a question of Utde was
raised, and hie jurisdiction was ousted. There was first the
question of title, sod then whether or not exoessive violence
was twat. But the Orst barred him from proceeding.
Mr Weston said he should prove It was • fictitious title that
woo attempted to be set up, and that Mr Duke had compounded
with and paid people not to proceed against him when he had
interfered with them for nate that rood,
Mr Howard said that was as to two old women, the clergy-
man Mr Knipe shined Kr Duke to give them something, and
lic did it as an act of charity-that was ',IL He referred to DOth
and 31st Viet, n 142, s. 12, as enacting that where there was
claim in respect of an easement to such an estate as this, the
jurisdiction of the County Court was ousted. He said Sir
Duke would rather forfeit £2OO than permit this road being
used.
Mr Weston said his case was that this was an assault com-
mitted on the highway, and he could prove a user for 70 year..

plaintiff on December 90th, last, forbidding him from using
the footpath, saying "If you trespass on my land again, I shall
have you put into the proper read to the post box"-..(laughter)
That was three days before this assault.
Mr Duke said he had verbally given Williams a similar
non., to the written one. He caused the gate to be covered
with rough thorns and locked, and boohoo stationed two men
there. He claimed the exclusive right to that footpath, and
took the farm with that understanding. Was prepared to de-
fend hie right to it: Nobody had • right to peas there.
The Judge: I cannot go on after that
Mr Weston: It's all very well for Mr Duke to my that; Ii
you will allow me to call my witnesses it will appear vary

The Judge: Your only answer is that they are setting up •

Mr Weston: U you decide against me on the question of

BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOoL ANNIVERSARY. The
annual outing of this Sunday school took pito° on
Tuesday, when the children and a large number of
friends went to Upwey, per 11.30 Groat Western
train, to aR Ad kin 11l lout by Hr. Lisoombe. Imme-
diately on arrival dinner was partaken of, and then the
company dispersed, the children to the usual games,
and the eldere, some to cravat and others to walks
round the picturesque vi!liage, to the source of the
Wey, and to the hili-tops near, from whence a good
view of Weymouth and Portland Heads could be ob-
taMed. Tel was anneuneed at half-past four, after
which the ornaments on something like a Christmas
tree were distributed to the girls ; and several pocket.
knives and other articles oompeteed for by the boys, and
nuts, apples, and sweetmeats were given as a kind of
consolation stakes to the others who bad won nothing.

Fordington, on the 11th inst.
Prosecutor, who intermittently rubbed his face all
over with one of his hands to get out the feats. said
that he was workine for Hr. Shunter*, of Huston. lie
was at the Swan between eight ant nine in the morning,
there being present " that chap" (erisoner) and two
girls of the town (named Gerrard mad Stroud). He
called for some drink, and took from his jacket pocket
his " hattilkeeher," in a corner of which he hid tied •
sovereign and • half-crown, to pay. Having done that
he replaced the sovereign and florin that remained.
Shortly after, prisoner, who had been sitting by his
side, left the room, and in a few minutes the money
was missed. The police were nailed. lie would swear to
the handkerchief produced as his out of 5,000.
Mary Gerrard spoke to seeing Brownlee put his hand
round Paul, and take the handkerchief from his pocket.
, She subsevently saw Browneea outside, when he
' offered to give her half the money to hold her tongue;
bat she refused.
Puckett, who was at that time in the police, but hu
sines retired, said that he was telkies a walk on the
London road, and (with extraordinary taste) went
towards the Swan tap-room. There he heard what had
taken place, and apprehended Brownies., who gave up
19e. lOil. and prisoner's hauditerohief.
Chutes Arthur Gulliver, who o mother keeps the
King's Head, Fordington, said about half-past ten that
morning prisoner CAUIt3 thole for a glass of beer and
tendered • sovereign in payment. Give him 10s. lUid
—same amount and I:Willi as prisoner gave to Puckett,.
Prisoner ....id lie had nothing leas than • sovereign.
It seemed prisoner was °obviated last January of
stealing • fowl, the property of Mr. PUG' I, for which
he had six weeks.
He didn't want to go to the sessions, so pleaded
guilty to stealing the sovereign. but said he was not
guilty as to the 21.
The magistrates, having conferred in private, the
Mayor said the six weeks did not seem to have been
any warning to him, so they would give him the full
penalty—six month's hard laleaur. Whereat prisoner
blubbered, but recovered se the "bracelets" were
adjusted pr.vious to his removal to the county gaol.
It seemed this precaution wee adopted in consequence
of prisoner's saying he meant to give the pollee " the

slip.
Then Paul got • word on hU conduct —votking like

Mr Lock sada there was a deed, and he witneseed its execu-

Mr Weston : Then It, no good.
Mr Lock I dispute your law entirely.

FUSILIERS' SPORTS.
The Royal Seventh had • grand day on Saturday last,
which bad been appointed by the offieere for their
Athletic sports (weather permitting). And surely if
fine bright sunshine was levee:6bl., weather did permit,
and that with • vengeance". Old Sol seemed to have
been uncovered specially to make up for his frequent
hidings daring spring and summer, and his rays smote
the Wend of Portlead with a white beat rarely excelled
in these parts. All over the island of stone was • burn-
ing path of untempered glory, and the very wind that
usually plays briskly over this island was hushed to •
ulm, as if its spirit had evaporated in the burning
heat. The houses were hot, the streets were hotter, and
the train hotter still; but hottest of all that refloated
glare that burnt upon the visitors as they stepped out at
Portland. The sea, calm as a mirror, II ished beck the
light and heat, the Chesil Beach seemed to broil, and
Fortune's Well one could not bear to look at, for it
seemed drowsy with the blue. All up the hill to the
Verne toiled many of the pedestrians in the fierce hut,
and those that took carnage. were little better off.
Some vainly tried to cheat part of the hill by climbing
to the stone railway in the hope of being pulled up the
incline in the trucks. Those who could not wait left
them shut in between cliffs of white limestone on one
side' and the bluing sun on the other; we hope they
got their ride all right, for it seemed as if they and the
truths they were resting on must be baked up if they
stayed long. Aerate the Verne drawbridge, where we
notice the warders with their white cap-covers,
but their dark uniforms, sad in through that
slowly gateway (how good was rest under-
neath) and we emerge again on the broad expense of
the Verne enceinte. Some sick men in blue are lounging
on forms, and here and there is • warder or two; but
the place seems deserted. Sounds of noise and merri-
ment reach us from the cricket ground beyond, and,
passing thus hideous black engine houses the visitor
oame at once on an animated scene. The bulk of the
red uniforms of the Royal Fasilien were there, the
white coats of the band (they wine the 'molest) and
mingled with them were their wives, sweethearts and
children, and about as many visitors, who crowded and
pushed for good places as eagerly as the soldiers. Still
there was not the slightest disorder, the presentee of so
large • number of disciplined men Influenced the crowd
in keeping the warms deer, and the county constabu•
leery had a sinecure.
Major Daubeuy was everywhere, and would have
seemed to be factotum but for the energetic and zealous
assistance of Captain Colvin. who, however much
of pleasure there may have been in the menden,
I certainly did • hard days work. His dark undress and
pleasant face were spied everywhere alongside his gallant
Major, or watching at the other end of the course, and
with Lieut. Stuart, they certainly seemed to be laying
themselves out for the benefit of their moo. It is well
when English dams take such evident delight, and
submit to so mush work for the sake of thou under
their command, and while such sympathy exists the
British army will be a popular and efficient service.
And the men, too, bow hardy they must have been not
to yield to the infiuenoes of the heat, which here poured
on them without the possibility of shelter, and not only
so but to make such violent efforts in the games. But
then most of them were in exceedingly light costume,
and so had the advantage over civilians in black, or
their comrades in red. The favourites appeared to
advantage in eetton tights, in various styles the sym-
metrical Rallied, whose poses seemed studied for effent,
might have passed for an Apollo Belvidere in white and
pink, while lithe Drew, the champion runner, and stout
Hartley, who strove so long at the long jump, showed
the muscles of their nether limbs working beneath the
natured "huff." A few kept on woollen cloth; bat
I they signally came to line, and their efforts were
exhausted in essaying their clothes. Such • time as this
it mast have been when Sydney Smith desired to t ike
off his flesh and sit in his bones. Happy were those
ladies for whom the gallantry of the Royal Seventh
provided the shade of • marquee, one side open to
views of the sports, and the other towards the great
Bay, where at an immense depth, H.M.S. Minotaur,
Bososwen, and Reser, lazily rode at anchor, and the
great white Breakwater stretched out its arm, bent at
the elbow, and a fort in its fist. But one is not allowed
to meditate on the view seaward; up comes an oid
figure with battered grey hat, and white coat with
hearts and diamonds of red, and be offers you the
"Kurekt Kard," the "only one on the ground," while
there is • competitor in another with immense
moustaches and whiskers, and they etcuggle for your
patronage. These ere privates Dees and Johnson,

The contest lay for a long time between Riled and
Bowdery, who tried both Scotch and Iriso styles.
Bowdery had • very peculiar way of placing the shot
between his shoulder and his head, and throwing with
strength of arm and shoulder ; but however well it
promised, it wu beaten by Rains's throw ; the latter
balanced it clear from the arm in graceful style,
21ft llin. Bowdery's farthest throw was 2,11 Gin.
There wee now an interval for b ming. A semi-
circle was quickly formed, leaving one part open to the
ladies' view, and the redeosts rushed eagerly to see
Swift and McCarthy have • bout. After shaking hands
they hada leientific set-to, greatly to the edification of
their comrades ; but there was strong suspicion that
they were pretty well agreed not to hit each other too
often. However towards the last round there were
some rattling exchanges, in the course of which one of
the men had part of the skin of his nose knocked off.

the running so improved that Rains gave up. The
wiener ran splendidly throughout. At the last time
but one of passing the post, Westray put on a spurt,
and went to the front, thinking that it was the last
time; but this attempt lost him ground afterwards-
Drew, who has seen 16 years service, was much
cheered on coming in. He was so exhausted that be

Cacti was in this rue, but did not go the course.
Another puelistio encounter varied the proceedings.
Two drummer boys, named Aldridge and Wilson, put
on the gloves, land pummelled each other hotly, with
but little cessation between the rounds. In fact the
seniors had to interpose, and make them take breath-
ing space, for their tempers were so hot that they
soon would have yielded to instinct, and had • battle
in earnest. Wilson had the most science and coolness,
and kept his head well up. Aldridge. who grinned
fiercely at his opponent, and tried to make up by dash
for his want of skill, got knocked down once. There
folllowed • turn between Henry and Lynch; It was
sharp, especially in the last round, when both got
within each other's range, and blows fell till.* as hail
on all parts of and around their heads. The encounter
was so violent that Henry fell.
At this point Segment Smith was 'ruefully presented
by Mrs Colonel Cooper with the eup which he had
won. The lady expressed • hope that he would live
long to win many more.

sounding squeak, over and over again, as much as you
like).
A number of contests of various kinds made • very
long programme.
The hurdle race was won by Salisbury, and the long
jump was perseveringly contested between Salisbury,
Reim., and Hartley, and oecupled a long time.
Hartley, who was a very good jumper, had to waste
his strength by fresh jumps, in oonsequenee of his over-
stepping the mark on jumping, and Rains, who jumped
long distances, as frequently sprung from some inches
behind the mark and lose in that way.
There were pole jumps, three-legged rams, rue for
corporals, sack race, ofileers' race, wheelbarrow rue,
one for seamen and marines, and • consolation race to
conclude, in fact,too much for any but • resident to see

And of course the latter was indeed first-rate. All this
before we arrive at the Buser, proper.
An elegant marque, the poles of which were em•
bowered in greenery, was presided over by Mrs. Hill,
.Miss 11111, Mrs. Macdonald, Mrs. Driver, and Kies

prisoners, and the whole backed with ivy. Of the
articles were noticeable splendid banner 'omens,
worked in bead add wool-work, pair of ivqg chaste
rustic brackets iu while and gold, ahem-board made in
Portland, with squares of opal and marbled glass. The
lady visitors were lost in admiration of the best and
wool work cushions, while the gentlemen showed a
weakness for smoking caps and worked slippers, and
both sexes agreed to admire beautiful seaweed picteres
and delicately painted eartorde-visite of flower groups.

was lighted by Chinese lanterue. Woo weld resist all

for the public here wore rewarded by £302. boing take&

juveniles.
The next tent was divided into three stalls. At the
first, prod lei Mrs. Clifton, assisted by Mrs Slakes,
Miss E. Clifton, Mrs Nieoleon. iLls. Row Arden (Way-
mouth),and Miss Butler. Under the great Royal Standard
of H.M.S. Minotaur, these ladies had set up quite a
fancy shop, the articles in which were "too numerous

In evening drew and one dressed in infant's robe and
cloak, wnieh was a favourite with the mothers ;
beautiful fern work on velvet; dippers, rugs, pot
flowers, and some paintings of the lost " Coptain" by
Kr. C. White. On Thursday they took £25.
In the next stall Mrs Cookworthy showed some
cookery worthy of • refined taste. Here were ices,
cakes, tarts, and • great variety of other dainties to
tempt the appetite, as well as sundry sorts of excellent
cooling drinks. Mrs Cookworthy wee assisted by Dr.
Shaker, and Miss L Clifton, and the shopkeepers were
so attentive sod the stall so mach to the taste of the
public, that trade was very brisk, and about £l4 went
into the till, Mr. S. Wallis, china merchant, of Wey-
mouth, had kindly sent a handsome cup sad sewer of
Japanese porcelain. and Kr. (7. White • very nice
painting of "Sunset in the West Bay."
The last claimed the name of the fine arta stall.
Mrs. Taylor was the keeper, assisted by Rev. A. Taylor,
Miss L. Taylor, Miss C. Taylor, and Kiss K. Taylor.
Here were paintings of several wens' in °Kenney,

for a eight of the most iateresting photographs of
"Paris after the Commune," in whiW the ruin" at the
Tuileries, the Hotel de Ville, and the battered streets
were depicted with startling minuteness. Contrary to
the expeetation of some, the pictures sold remarkably
well, and the results wore most satisfactory.

to resist, so that gentlemen were soon eased of the loose
cash in exchange for sweet looks, aud • possible chews
of winning a prise.
About 1,000 people attended the first day, and £l4 or
215 WAS taken at the guts.
Ou Friday the weather was again fine, and as won as
the heat was less, thd public poured in again. A pleasing
addition was made by the Grove schools treat. These
schools contain about 250 children, 70 of whom are
infants. Mr Moore is • most Galant muter, and Ken
Jones • good schoolmistress, and they are assisted each
by three pupil warthers. The schools met at their
schoolhouse early, and marched wite banners and the
school band down the Grove Road, receiving largo
aceessions ou their march, from the permits and friends.
The haat did credit to Kr Hill'esnd Mr Idoore's inetrue-
tione, and enlivened everyone with their magic. About
four the schools had • capital tea in their rooms. where
they kept excellent order, considering the exeitement
of the time. The school is very fortunate, as it has the
Directors of Convict Prisons to draw on, and the walls
are covered with valuable maps, Illustrations of astro-
nomy, mechanics, km, in profiteer. It is very sue.
ceedul as to results. After tea, the children were
admitted to the Baster ground, and marched there,
their band playing, or the eahol.r. singing "Auld Lang
dyne," "Walt for the Waggon," lie. Kr Driver,
steward of the prison, very kindly made a eolleetion I
among the visitors, and was able to bay at the baster
a large numbor of articles as prizes for running km, and
a very 'retry mane it was. In the meantime the
towhees took tea at Mr Moore's Louie.
The company increased in the evening; and weltered
all over the ground in happy groups. The music, the
fun, aud the -delicious weather, made it a most happy
time.
MGR,. Aced meet kindly undertook the management
of admission at the gate. and long and heavy work it
was, but most ably fulfilled Mrs. Mott took her place
at his side, and presided at the distribution of bouquets.
These most valuable servioes of Kr. and Mrs. Aeon
were extended over both days, and to them much gra-
titude is dee. The general arrangement" by the corn.
mittee and especially by the hon. secretary Rev. A.
Hill, the oheplain, were beyond all praise.
The church for which all this pleasant elution was
made, is situated midway between Alma-terrace &ad
Upper Clifton Cottages, on the Grove-road. It is built
entirely of Portland stone, in the liomanewae style,
the plan being presented by Captain Du Cane, LK,
Chairman of Directors of Convict Prisons. It is to be
opened about the end of this year, and will amens.

supplied by the chaplains of the prison. There are also
to be schools and, master's house, and these are in a
