MR. MITCHELL'S WILL.

In the Court of Chancery on Friday, before Vice-
Chancellor Sir James Bacon, the came of Mikhdl v.
Moi.erty came on.
This case raised an important contention between
the Corporation of the City of London and the
Metropolitan Board of Works, arising under the will
of the late Thomas Alexander Mitchell, Mr. for
Brio'port, which has frequently been referred to in
public. By his will, it will be remembered, the
testator gave a moiety of his residue "to the chair-
man for the time being of Her Majesty's B of
Works, to he applied by the said Maril for any Audi
charitable purpose ben-fitting the city f London,
in which I hare passed sly life, an the Board to-
the time beina •hall in their absolute discretion think
I Is-st.-

Mr. Saranstin, Q.O anil Mr. Everitt for the
Metropolitan Board of Work., contended that they
were the trustee who sari., intended by the testator as
being the hand to administer this fond
The Solicitor-General (sir If. Gifford), Mr. Fry,
Q C., and Mr. Watson, for the Corporation of the
City, who have three members on the Metropolitan
Boar-I, contended that by the words "her `Majeity's
n.artl Works" the testator meant Her Majesty's
Commiasioners of Works and Public Buildings.
The Vice-Chancellor observed that this was one of
thnee disagreeable and difficult caries in which the
Court had to supply deficiencies or remove doubts
which had been occasioned by the obscurity of a
testator's language. That thin was a charitable legacy
there could, of course, be no doubt; but the argument
before the Court hail been that, there being two
Boards of Works, and hence two objects to which the
words were applicable, extraneous evidence VIIIA
admissible. The Court, having nothing else but the
language of the will and the surrounding circum-
stances to guide it, most assume that a man in the
position of the testator well knew the difference
between the department of Government called Her
Majesty's Board of Works, and the municipal body
called the Metropolitan Board of Works. 'lhe Troth
was -that the Government department, and not the
Metropolitan marl of Works, must be held to he
the body intended ; and as the former body declined
to act as trustee, or to have anything to di with the
bequest, there must be a reference to chamber+ to
appoint a scheme. The costs of all parties would
come out of the fund.

ASSAULTING THE POLICE-A HEAVY
SENTENCE.

At the Dorchester County Session.. Lehi on Saturday
last, before Mr. H. 11. Middleton, Mr. A. Bonkes and
Colonel Steward, a young fellow natned &yawl fli.srnrh,
a butcber'ssboy, was charged with manning P. C. Gould,
of the borough constabulary. The assault took place near
the waterworks. and consequently came under county
jurisdiction. The prisoner, who even now has a deferred
sentence awaiting him at the bawls of the borough
magistrates for having been drunk and disorderly, wee
erved lip the c•mstable on the day previwts to the sessult,
with a summons for that offence. This seems to have
rankled in his mind, and on the day in questhm seeing
the conwtable in the esinpany of his swift. and child walking
on the Itrid port-road, he followed a Ttlark.country procure
and commenced to heave bricks at him. Mrs. Gould and
her child narrowly escaped being hit by the rocks, and
the officer had to give him a pretty considerable shaking
before he dropped his amusement
Mr. Flout Coward appeared for the borough authorities
and against the prisoner, who WI "nothing to nay about
it," and a list of six previous convictions was handed in.
The Bench said it was a very bad case indeed. Although
the constable was not on duty at the time, yet he (the
defendant) had taken the opportunity to pay out a grudge
which he entertained against the constable when he was
acting. He would be sentenced to two months hard
labour. .

Defendant : Thank you sir; you might bat RR well
have given me wven years, or hang me at once, and then
should be out of harm's way.
[There were some doubts expressed as to prisoner's
molly. He certainly wore a very wild expression and
father and mother, we believe, are both in the Asylum.]

XORETON.

Fin.—On Sunday morning at 3.35 the services of
the Dorchester Fire Brigade were sent for from
Moreton, a mftsenger on horseback coming in in
hot haste, an a fire had taken place at Waddock Farm
in that neighbourhood, occupied by Mr. Branatun.
The engine and men, under the command of Mr.
Supt. Coward, arrived there within an hour, and it
was then found that two large ricks of hay and a
cow-shed were on fire. The supply of water was,
unfortunately, situate about 500 yards away, and
the hose of the Dorchester engine was not long enough.
However, by using Mr. H. Frampton', engine an
an intermediary one the difficulty wa., got over, and
the flames were successfully contended with.

ARTILLERYMAN fOEND DROWNED.

Immediately after the 81swe inquest, Mr. Howard
and the same jury enquire I into the death of Thonas
William Berryman, an artilleryman, who had been
absent since Augmt 25, from the Verne.—William
MacKeow, warder in the Prison : I was on duty this
morning near the sea wall d the Breakwater, and saw
the body of deceased lying between two stones,
evidently where it had floated. I went with four of
the convicts, put him in a hand-barrow, and brought
him to the top of the wall. The body had evidently
been in the water sonic days. I sent information to
the police.—William Bolton, corporal RA.. said
deceased was a gunner about 27 years old. Had
known him about Bix months, and last saw him alive
on the 24th August, in the barracks, betwen six and
seven. He was in barracks till 12 that night, and was
a defaulter confined to barracks ; but at half.past six
next morning he had broken out of barracks. Had
made enquiries; but could not find how he went out
of barracks; but thought he must have gone out by
the sallyliort.—By Mr. Comben : The men can go
out at night, if they can pass the sentry.—A verdict
of " Found Drowned," was returnedait being stated
that the deceased could not be traced further than the
night of August 24. The body was much decomposesL

COMMITTAL TO GAOL OF AN EX-TOWN
COUNCILLoR.

- - - -
Yr. George Good, a man of ample means and property, !
living in Hendford. Yeovil, was charged before the borough 4
magistrates, on Tuesday, with stealing a piece of timber, ,
value 3s. 9d., the property of Messrs. Bradford and Sone,
coal merchants, YeoviL—Mr. Watts appeared for the ! '
prisoner. --In answer to the Chairman, the prisoner elected ' I
to he tried by the magistrates, and the case proceeded.—
James Gillham deposed that he was a policeman in the
employ of the Great Western Railway Company, and that '
morning he was on duty in the Hendford Yard, near the
goods shed, about 10 minutes after 12, when he saw the
prisoner George Good walking up and down the road
between his house and the Railway Hotel for some time.
He then came through the gate into the yard, walked
down the footpath for about 20 yards, until he came
opposite a pile of timber on the other side of the wall, in
Mr. Bradford's field. He stood there for a short time, and
then put his hand over the wall, took a piece of timber up,
put it on his shoulder, and walked back towards the gate.
Just before he came to the gate witness went out, put his
hand on his shoulder, and said, "You are just the man I
have been looking for for some time," and then charged
him with stealing the niece of timber from Mx. Bradford,
and told him he must go to the police station. Ile offered
any amount of money if be would let him go and say
nothing about it. Witness told him he did not do business
in that way, and took him to the police station, handing
him over to Sergeant HolwelL When at the police station
prisoner said he had not stolen the timber, but had bought
it of Mr. Chaffin, Mr. Bradford's clerk, a day or two
previous, and had not taken it away. Ile went after it in
! the night because his men would want it before Mr.
Bradford's men would be there in the in orning. —Mr.
George Chaffin said he was a clerk in the employ of the
Mesess. Bradford. He had soli the prisoner timber on
several occasions, but he had never sold him any of the
sort now produced. In reply to Mr. Watts he said no one
was allowed to take timber from the yard without one of
Mr. Bradford's men being present. —Mr. Watts delivered
an excellent speech for the defence: He did not for one
moment deny that his client had taken the timber, and
, that it belonged to Yearn Bradford ; but he asked the
Beath to look at the circumstances at the ow. Ills client

THE POULTRY SHOW AND THE MARKET HOUSE.

their exhibition?

—fie-116v-o-k—liad beard that some of the holders of the
stalls are anxious to snake capital out of the exhibition.
His opinion was that they should be taught a lesson, either
by demanding an extra price for the stalls, or by exercising
the privilege of dismissing them. He hod been told thst
one of the renters hal male himself particularly obnoxious
by his demandttand he was one of the highest renters;
but some one else was willing to take the place at a higher
rent His Worship thought notice should be served on
them that for one week the Corporation would require the
users( the Market House.

Fliiliali;-;al:rthe.committee of the Poultry Show
only asked for the Market House for two days. Some of
the stall-holders asked .C 3 each, and, considering thoy
were only paying 10s. a week to the Council, the committee
thought they ought not to make such • charge as that.—
In answer to Dr. Drew, Mr. Charles said the committee
would be very pleased to oiler the Market House Fund
Dr. Gnaw : 'Then the Market House Fund will not be
damnified/
Mr. Clisitria : No; rather improved.
The Mayon : We ought to exercise the right of taking
the Market House.
Mr. Gale said that Mr. Steggall proposed, with the
sanction of the Council, to give the stall-holders a week's
notice.

willing to start it. All the big wigs are holiday-
making, forgettnl that the famine does not stop for the
sake of their pleaeure.

This is a specimen of being hard up for " copy" —a
gallant performance of the Standard "special " at the
Turkish head quarters. The eclipse of the moon,
which took place on Thursday night abont midnight,
was the cause of an alarm which, regarding the state
of the times, was excusable. I had just retired for
the night, when the sound of distant musketry firing
caused me to get up and prepare for some serious event.
Having &mewl as rapidly as possible and strapped on
my revolver, I started .if with my boy Isaac towards
the quarter of the town where my conferes were
lodging, in order to concert further action with them
Going along the street I noticed to the boy that it had
got very dark and looked I ke rain ; this caused him to
look up, and he immediately exclaimed, " &garde: is
lane I' For the moment I had forgotten the eclipse,
and then I remembered having read that in some parts
of Turkey the people always turned out to fire at the
moon on these ocoltsions. I witi not long in getting
back to my lodging, where I discovered my worthy
Bulger landlord indulging in a quiet laugh at my ex-
pense. Next morning I found that the same ilea had
struck all of UN who were here that there was either
a Turkish or Bulgarian massacre coming on, and that
we ran a very poor chance in any case.

We have to record this week the highest prices ever
given in England for Shorthorn heifers. At Mr.
Cochrane's aale the beautiful 3rd Duchess of Hil!hunt
was placed in that post of honour by Mr. Thornton,
being knocked down to Mr. Loder for 4,100 gs. ; but
the young twenty was dethroned within the hour, her
half sister, sth Duchess of Hillburst, being knocked
down to Lord Naive for 4,300

PURSE OAAINDLIC.
SUFFOCATED IN A LIME.

Mr. H. Nutt, coroner for the district within the
liberty 0f Sherborne, opened an inquest at Purse
Caundle on Friday iin the body of Henry Barter, son
iif a farmer, Mr. Samuel Barter, of Purse Council,
Mr. li, Taylor was foreman of the jury.
Frederick Barter said he resided with ble father
at Purse Caundle, and the Issly just viewed by the
jury was that of his deceased brother, Henry Barter,
17 years of age. Ile last saw his brother alive at
half-past four o'clovk "ii Wednesday. afternoon he
wax then sitting on the top of " s Limekiln,"
adjacent to " Trip's Farm. Half-an-hour later his
mother came to him greatly agitated, and on his going
ti the kiln he saw his brother dead. His mother first
saw his brother. _

Elizabeth Barter, wife of Samuel Barter, said
deceased was her son, and next Thursday he would
have been eighteen years old. Last saw him alive
when she took his dinner—about three o'clock CM
Wednesday afternoon. He was then cutting barley
in a field near the lime-kiln with his brother Samuel.
About five o'clock she PAW Samuel and asked him
where Harry was, and he replied at the kiln. On
going there she looked in, and discovered him in a
sitting position, with his Arms down, and his head
upon his breast. She called hint "Harry, Harry;'
but there was na answer. She then ran and called
his brother. They came, and the elder brother
jumped into the kiln and lifted him out; but he was
quite dead.
In reply to the Coroner, Mrs. Barter said she had
never known her son to have a fit; or heard him
complain of pains in the head. He was generally
very cheerful.
Samuel Barter, the non, was called, and said he
jumped into the, kiln and pulled his brother out,
rhere were no marks of violence upon his body.
The Jury returned a verdict of" Death from snffic
cation in a lime-kiln," and gave their fees to the
Yearn= I fotspital, Sherlnsme.
The pit in the kilts in seven feet sleep, and one of
the jury remarked that it wan a providential encahso
for the young man, Snimel, who putionl in after hiss
brother. The sulphurom fumeo arising from the kiln
were sufficient to put .nit life instantaneously, just as
if it were but the light of a candle.

THE CHANCES
.OF PEACE.

From St. Petersburg it is telegraphed that the
chances of peace are diminishing. It is felt that
Eumpe cannot compromise herself a second time by an
act that fails to achieve any result. Up to the present,
it is added, no formal declaration on the part of Eng-
land respecting the Protocol has been received there,
but the newspapers are discussing the negotiations that
have taken place in London, and accusing the English
Government of wishing to leave to Russia only a choice
between dishonour arid war.
A Politische correspondant, saes the Connell of war
has been sitting at Kischineff, for three days. The
member of the Privy Council, has arrived from St.
Petersburgh, with secret instructions.
