Ike £24, and he had consoled L'2o 55., but there were
subscriptions to be collected which would leave them,
he believed, a laicise cf about 15s. Seeing they laical
the year without a bill, bat, or wicket. he thought that
very satisfsatoey--(apolause). They bad now stock of
the value of f 5 or £6. This year they had to repair
the house in the cricket field at • oast of 1:3 or .£4, and
provide steps to get over into the 6e11; but next year
he did not anticipate snob an amottet of incidental
expenses. H. concluded by proposing " ProsnorßY to
the Dorchester Cricket Club "—(applause).
The CRAIRLI•N proposed the health of Mt. Taylor,
who had allowed them to rent the cricket field, and
without whose permission they could not have estab-
lished the club. Ha hoped that lir. Taylor would allow
them to use the fiel I for many future years--(•pplauss).
Mr. TAYLOR replying intimated that while the Club
; eontinued he should be willing to place the field at the
; dispasal_of the oommltteo.

The VION-ClialliliAN proposed the health of the
Captain of the club, 'elegising him for the intoned he
bad taken in it, and attributing the immense suoctes of
the first season to his exertions—(amelet:vie).
Mr. PARSONS said at the beginning of the MINIM h.
accepted the post of Captain very reluctantly, for he
feared that be should not be able to oarry out its duties
tfliotently ; but he had done his beat, and was very
pleased that they had won so many matehea. He hoped
that next year they might have a more onergetia and
persevering Csptain—fOries of "No, no," and "We
can't.") If he had in any way promoted the pleasure
and semen of the club be was amply repaid—
(applause).
"The ladies." humooreeJr rosponded to by Mr.
Ingold, and "The hoot and bootee.," aeknowledged by
Mr. Pathways, brought the happy gathering to a close,
shortly before midnight.

officially. They were aware of the feet that the
Licensed Victuallers in this town had formed themselves
into an association, not only with referenoe to the
matter of the opening and elating bourn, but Mg,
other things which press unduly ea the trade. A
deputation bad been appointor' to wait on the maple.
trate., and they would kindly take it as if the
deputation were present to-day. The Ant of Parlia-
ment give • dithristionary power h. the magistrates to
extend tho hoar., and if they were not deposed to
exercise these powers, and grant the extra hours all the
year round, perhaps they would think it advisable to
give them for i part of the ye.'. In the Woof Wight
the hours bad been granted and surely If they were
necessary is the Isle of Wight they were in this town.
lie continued to plead that it is quite necessary for
men engaged in waiting for the train., to have refresh.
meats, and he hoped tie Bench would use the discre-
tionary power which the legislature certainly intended
to he used In some eases. If it was to be used anywhere
he urged, it ought to be in this town, where are so
many efrountstaneee which demand tke extra hours,
where we are no eituated with our late steamers and
nor late trains. The apploation did not coots from
Licensed Victualler, as for their own gain ; but for the
general convenience of the town. The conveniences of
t.,wn are its attractions, just at the conveniences of a
home are the attractions of that house, and Mr. Howard
urged that especially would it be convenient, if the
Bench granted the extra hours during the summer and
autumn months.
The Mayor said the magistrates of this borough
received the deputation by prevtoos arraogement with
the Lieensed Victuallers. After much consideratirm the
magistrates were unitedly of opinion that they were
not at all jostilled in departing from the spirit of the
Act of Parliament, and h• thought it would now be a
waste of time to consult his brother magistrates on the
point.
11r. Ayling err rather surprised that Mr. Howard
should broach the matter, after it bad been so ably
argued.
Mr. Howard raid the former application ought to
bays been mede to-dey, at the adj•rarned licensing
meeting, and not at the meeting when It wan mad.;
this was the legal time.
The Mayor rid the Bench stated that there were
many previsions in the Act that they could not approve
of; but the responsibility of altering the Act, they
would not'ue. alsoderoak. that e.
Howard

com-
pelled to dor his door, and they had had to put latches
and bolts so that no one could get in. Bat that had
been examined into, and licensed victuallers' doors could
be kept open the same as theft of a private individual,
and the duty would be to prove they were epee for the
vale of drink.

--ib;l-1.4-o-a: fully agreed that • lloensed riotualler has
just.. much right to keep bit door open all night long,
for the benefit of the fresh air, for Matinee, as any one
elm ; but they must not sell.
Kr. Howard continued that the trade bad actually
been robbwi. for they hat taken out their Iloenoes to
sell op till the licence expired. Mr. Howard said that
the clubs ought to be olceed sill. A gentleman could
not go into a hotel, any more than the Poorest indi-
vidual into • beerhonse, for drink, after ; but the
clubs could keep open. What right Mid • gentleman,
having the wowed/noes if home, to go and sit at his
stub till 2 o'olook in the morning, when • poor man
mall tot hare • glees after 11?
. . . . . .

The Bench adtted the elute ought be be closed.
lIPSCILL APPIJOITION'
.

Mr. Cook, of the Queen's Hotel, made an appliaation
to be allowed to open his house at 5. It was wall
known that coffee was sold there at an early hour, aod
this had been a greet oonvenienoe to persons in ths
employ of the railway, on orsoonot of the early trolas.
The Mayor rid that by making an gumption In this
ones, they would be admitting a princdple. The respon-
sibility of this Act of Parliament must rest on the
Logiolature. The mogistraies of this borough thought
It exceedingly unfair that they should hare any &sore.
tiouory power at all. There ought to be a hard and
fast line drawn somewhere at which all inch houses
should be oloeed, end they quite agreed the club houses
and every house ourtit to be served alike.

The Court was very numerous'y attended and both

Victuallers appeared to be watched with mach in-

Preston station, without any of them being sailed as
witnesses, which would have pee them an opportunity
of being heard.
One witness, it is true, but one who can scarcely be
slid to be disinterested, certainly abated that if the man
at the Preeton station bad bet a on the look out "44
yeast have been us.'' But too much radiuses ought not
to be platted on such men's aesertions. With others, I
was taking refuge by • quarry on the top of Portland
at the time this melancholy event took plass., and we
were remarking how, while it was clew and bright in
some directions, in others it was, so to swath, black as
night, and difficult to see any distance. It must not be
forgotten the who!. thing was violent and sudden—but
little opportunity to nave or to ere.
In my rambles sine, I have, without any motive,
abetted with men on that atation, anti with the man
whose duty it was to be on the look out then. I have
no doubt there was look out at the time. Bat one
object I have, end one only, that In, that as I believe it
I. a rule it the service that under no oircumetanese are
I the mon allowed to write to the newspapers, that all
judgment on them should be suspended until the
entpilry which has been asked for by the jury shall have
taken place; and I have no doubt it will then turn out
tint thn charaeter which the coastguard have always
borne of being alive to duty will in this instance have
I suffered to injury.

A VISITOR.
