Mr. Attires : I have not heard anything of thisexcept a
hint. I have not hada copy. With re.trard to Sir William
Marriott it ts simply a question of an action at. law. I
maintain that the freehold of that land is in the Rector
and the patron; toy brother and I have to protect our
rights.
The CHAIRMAN: All we have got to take care of is that
the poliese are duly awl properly supported by the court.
and by the magistrates—(lood applause). The memorial
was sent to the police con 111 l ittee ; they felt that they
could take no action upon it and that it was right to lay it
before tLe court. The advice I should give is simply this
—that we have nothing to do with the memorial : we can

opinion is overstepping his duty—(applause). I know of
no authority whatever which allows a magistrate to stop
the police in the execution of their duty. The Rulm of
the Court are that a constable may follow in any place or
any house in immediate pursuit of any offenders. Suppose
for a moment a policeman finds • gipsy—there is no need
to take the designation offensively, because there are
many good people as well as bad amongst them—suppose
he finds a itipsy committins an offence. he would be bound
to follow him, even if he went into Mr. Austeri* garden
and if Mr. Austen attempts to stop him in that pursuit he
puts himeell in a position be would not I think intend to
do.
Mr. AUSTF.N : That is a very different matter.
The CHAIRMAN : In this particular case, as! understand,
NORIO one who has a right of iii,ess to this drove, called in
a policeman to prevent the possibility of a 'attic between
the gipsies and his own people, by being there to main-
tain the peace iigainst it probable breach of it which Mr.
Martin expected. The policeman was bound to go.
Mr. Ausre.N : Ile had no right to turn them out.
The CHAIRMAN : If a policeman is called on by anybody
to maintain the peace it is his duty to go. lam sure that
if Mr. Austen reflects on his letter he will see that he has
gone beyond what so in magistrate he should have done.
lie said the policeman should Outgo on his property with-
out looking at the limitation which the law imposes. Our
business is to take are that the police are fully supported
..PPorfed —(applause)—and not to attend to the
notice of any one who says they shall not go on his pro-
perty under any circumstances unless holding a legal
warrant. They cannot have a warrant if in immediate
pursuit.

Mr. A mi-rgx said he should like to give an explanation.
Mr. WILLIAMS advised him not to say any more.
But Mr. Aunt,' would, and called the Chairman's
attention with "hank here, my lord." At the last sessions
when he WY coming to Dorchester he met a iripsy man
with his van and family, and he asked for liberty to go

Bunion. whom he always allowed to stay there. With
these parties there was us young woman who had
been two days in labour, and was lying on the straw,
and that was the time these people kicked up this row.
Ile contended it was altogether unjustifiable. As to the
memorial he asked if it was to get into the newspapers—
(laughter).
The CHAIRMAN said they knew nothing about that.

like to have a copy of it.

to buy or hire the improved rains they found he

to secure the sere icet of Mr. Saunders's rams, • day
was appoiuted when all who would might see the
portion of the flock available and take their choice.
Of the informal character 01 these proceedings our readers
may judge when we say that after luncheon in the
old aria-house—where there WIL. always good old-f ashioned
hospitality—the intending hirers started for the enclosure
where the rams were collected, amid the rule was "trot

wives from amongst the fair captives whom the
fortune of war had delivered into their hands, by many de
mein, and the struggle amengtt Mr. Saunder's early
patrons was almost as matting. A great point was made
that they should all "start fair," but we do not learn that
there was any handicapping. and the unequal conditions
in which the competitors were placed, by reason of their
varying fluetums, must have caused a droll sight and an
exciting race, at young and old, thin and corpulent,
breasted the lull to reach the plot where the sheep were
penned. And then having haply caught the animal of

they were hearty times, and the fun of the letting was •

t throw open the competition. Fur some years

As time was precious he would merely thank them sin-
cerely for their kind expression of feeling; he hoped the
prices they would give him to-day would be remunerative
and encourage him to do his best for tuany years to come
in maintaining the valuable qualities of the Watercombe
ttork—(applause).
The Climaxes said there was one more toast be wished
to propose, and lie was sure they would drink it very
cordially- it was "the health of their old and worthy
friend, Mr. T. H. Saunders "—(great applause). He might
say that no man in England had been moire successful an
an agriculturist and as • cattle and sheep breeder --(hear.
hear). His whole life had been spent in improvin- the
breed of sheep and agriculture in general. lle (the Clair-
man) had known him more than 50 yews as a farmer, and
lie was sure there was no wan in the county more entitled
to their thanks than Mr. Saunders, for the great skill anti
perseverance he had manifested in agricultural pursuits.
lie called on them to drink Mr. Saunders 's health, and
expressed a hope that he would live many years to be
present at his son's letting—(loud cheers).
Mr. T. H. Ssextuzits, who was received with general
cheering and cries of "bravo,' said he was extremely
obliged to Mr. Jno. Homer for what he had said about
him, and hoped it was not more than was true, lie
thanked all those around foil their attendance; he was
pleased to see so vast an assembly at his son's sale. All
he could say was that he hoped his sou would endeavour to
maintain in its present good stats the stock lie had now
got. lie (Mr. Saunders, sour.) had tried for a good many
years to improve the sheep all he could, and they were a
very different class now from what they were when he was
a young man, lie was looking at the begining of the week
at an old account book, and saw that in l,tli, when lie
entered that fano. he sold his first year's wool at 7d •
pound, and the following year's at the same price; but he
had heart enough then to zo to Overton fair to buy the
best sheep he could get from Mr. Budd. At that time the
Hampshire sheep were great coarse things, with heads big
enough for • calf --(laughter); he thought that he must go
on different from that, and gave 20 guineas for a rain.
When wool was at 7d he sold his best 100 lambs at 13s a
head: now they went at 25s or 261, and wool was Did. it
he gave Si guineas for a rough ram in those days what
must these sheep be worth now 1--(laughter and applause).
He always tried to combine size and quality as much as lie
could in sheep, and do his best in agriculture generally;
what he did for himself he made known to his neighbours,
for he thought it no good to light • candle ma put it under
a bushel ; he showed all the world what he found to answer
his purpose, awl then they could do as they liked. He
hoped his son would endeavour to improve the dock as

Two BAYMAKERS: LEOS BROKEN. -011 Friday evening
as the people working for Mr. Harry Gale, of Dockland
Rivers, were returning from a Held near the finish dairy-
house, a very seriomo accident happened to them, whereby
two men, a shepherd and a carter, had each a leg broken.
On the day in question, Mr. Gale bad been carrying a
Held of hay, and the work-people had to return home
round the village of Broadwey by the new Toad. They
had been noticed by several people to Ills driving at a fast
Jiaee, and it was feared that they would meet with some
harm. The party consisted of two waggon...ldd, seemed
to be full of men and women, and two horses, each rioblen
by a man and a lad. One of the 11EPPM,1 stopped near Mr.
Imckham's mill sonic little time, as the man wanted a
match, and on going out it wait suspected that the
man had too much drink, from the furious way he
rode through the water, the waggon preceding him.
(ht their going out of the new road, near the bridge,
they fooled the wall, lout lowed through the village
at a rapid rate. Just after passing Mr. Gale's dairyhonm,
the carter Dimond, who wan standing on the idiaf to
reached forward to whip the fore-horse, resting his band
on the hinder one to do mo. The In iriie immediately began
to kick, striking the carter, breaking his leg, and knocking
him off the shafts. The other man, Jidin Cakes a shop-
herd, jumpeti Out of the waggon, and fell down, the wheels
Eassing over him, and breaking a Ice and one of his ribs.

Bags added to the gay aspect of the place, and the barn
was really changed in an elegant anion.
The tables were spread with an elegant repast, including
all the delicacies ot the 6.1.111. Li well as the usual sub-
stantial joints and some prime Watercotube lamb, while
for liquors there was an abundant supply of Moat and
Chandon's best, and sherry and other wining of excellent
brands without stint. The luncheon was provided by Mr.
Fro.., of the King's Arms Hotel, Dorchester ; the wines
were obtained nom the cellars of Messrs. Hodges
