DORCHESTER.

morning, when' Colonel lot Battalion
Regimes* will be the reviewing officer, and we have no
doubt bat that the Dorset regiment will sustain its old
reputation in the field. After the inspection, the men
are invited by We. Bingham to a tea party, md as both
the old and the new Corn Exchanges will be used on
the occasion, they will all sit down together. There
will be some entertainment for them afterwards,
to which the men are kindly invited to bring
their wives and friends. In the mums of the
evening the Bev. E. W. Pears. will read • fare'
well letter from Hrs. Bingham to her friends, the Dorset
militiamen. and there is a rumour of something that is
to take plies afterwards, which we are sure will give
pleasure to all who have been se well supplied at the
tea and coffee counter. Airs. Bingham's peony bank
clores that evening. We understand that the number
of depositors is upwards of 100 Land the amount of
money thee pronkldy Invested greater than in any
Isomer year. Is a pleas feature. We are
grander* in being able to report isontinned good readmit
on the part of the militia. Their good behaviour is
wonderful, and Is the beet token passible of the deep
respect they have for Colonel and Kn. Bingham, and
of their ippreeistion the untiring and devoted efforts; made
by them for the welfare of the regiment. We venture
to my that no body of militiamen in the country has
been so well behaved, because so well eared for,
and that the men of no other force will have Cosh
pleasing recollections of their period of training as will
have the men of the Dorset regiment.

(Before T. E. P. LOMAT, Esq., Jodie.)
There were 63 new plaints at this mitt and two
adjourned summonsed, but there weive only three left
for bearing by his Honour.
Francis Greening r. Thomas Welloan.—Plaintiff, who
Is a bone dealer at Piddletowo, sought to recover
£7 14a., balances due on • hove deal with the defendant,
who is a baker of the same pazials.-11r. Weston was
for plaintiff, and Mr. Look for def *laden —I t NOMA
that on the 23rd November last the plaintiff purchased
one of the cast Artillery horses, which was sold in
Dorchester market by Mr. Frederick Foot, auctioneer.
A few days after plaintiff met the defendant
near Stinsford bill, when defendant remarked "You
have a nine mare there," to which plaintiff replied "Yes,
I have." Defendant west on to say, "Bet it goes a
little curious in front,', and plaintiff said " Yes, We one
of the out Artillery horses, and is rattier tender in
front." Defendant said Yes, I see it is." On the
Deeemb.r they again met, when defendaat leaked
him how the troop., got on, to which plaintiff replied
"Very well, I think it would suit you." Defendant
then said he should like to Dee it go, and by amusement
defendant called at plaintiff's house half an hour after.
when the horse was put into a cart, and
driven as far as Yellowham Wood. On the way
defendant said the hone did not go so very lame.
and if he had it he should have it shod with leather,
and then it would go all right. When they got bank,
defendant himself took off the hareem and rubbed the
mare down to see that it was quiet. A conversation
then tiok plain. Defendant asked "Will you warrant
the horse sound r and plaintiff replied " warrant
her everything else, except that she's tender in frost—
that she's quiet to ride and in barnesa, except
at plough." Defendant said he knew it was tender in
front, and be again said he would have it shod with
leather. and then it would go all right. Plaintiff told
him that if the horse Was not tender it would
be worth L'so, and defendant answered, "Ye., I know
If it was not so it would not be here." Two men, named
Brown and Caple, were called to corroborate plaintiff's
Yellen of that portion of the ease. Subsequently the
deal was arranged. Defendant was to give ES and a
mart colt for the mare, and plaintiff was to give him a
written warranty. Next day defendant went to
plaintiff's house for the warranty, but he was not at
Dome, and on the following day defendant wrote a
letter to plaintiff asking for it, but he never nortro.l a.
—Defendant's version of the deal wee et'''. flaintiff said
be would warrant the mar:, and free from al
vies.
'as
liit if the horse went lame at
times, 'ne replied no. Plaintiff, in reply to his
inoui,,, said the horse went stiff a little behind, but that
sne through Its tarry's, a heavy weight op its shoulders,
and be said the reason it was sold out of the troop was
that it sweated so much I A day or two after he bad
the mare defendant found it would not go, and sub-
sequently, sitar giving due notice to plaintiff, the
mare was sold at Mr. Ensor's repository for Ed, to a
man named N.sh. Defendant again got pmession of
the &elms], and drove it in his cart. But on the 4th
of February, between Paddktown and Tineleton, the
mare fell on its head and tarned neer on its side, and in
three days it died. Mr. Norris, veterinary surgeon, was
called to the animal, but he saw at once that he could
do nothing to save its life. Subsequently he examined
it after death, and found it died from a punctilio in the
side, but there was navigater dinette in the fore feet,
and he produced • piece of the boo, to show it.--
His Honour said be hut no doubt about the ease. Both
the probabilities and the positive testimony was against
the defendant, and he gave a verdict for plaintiff, pay-
ment in a month, for the rum claimed which was the
ES less the price of • hundred weight of bran (6e.)
Symonds v. Warren.—This was an action of deteme,
to recover certain furniture, value £4 16s. 61., lent by
the plaintiff to his sister, who left them in defendant's
house on her going into service in Warwick. The
parties live at Mappowder, and are relativea When
plaintiff applied for the goods, defendant refused to let
them go without • written authority from his sister.—
Mr. Weston for plaintiff, and Mr. Howard for de.
fendana—His Honour gave a verdict for the plaintiff.
Siloox v. Ceady.—This was another notion for
detenue, Mr. Westin for plaintiff and Mr. Howard for
delendant.—The plaintiff is a widow, and gee or six
years ago carried on businees as • washerwoman at
Miller's Close, Fordington. Subsequently plaintiff went
into service, bat when she was out of • place she lodged
with her daughter Elisabeth, who carried on the wash-
ing bueineu. Plaietiff let this daughter have the use
of her goods, but says she never gave them to her. The
daughter, about three years ago, got merried to
the difsodant, but neatly two yearn before that she
removed to another house, which was taken in defiled.
ant's name. Within the last month differences
had arisen between defendant and his wife,
and on Friday fortnight he turned her out of the
house, and they had sines lived separate. The defend.
ant gave instraetioas to Mr. Beyer, anetiomet, to sell
the goods in question end *them when Mrs. Sileox give
him notice that the goods were hers. The sale was
stopped, and now defendant refuses to give them up,
and they are locked up in the house.—The plaintiff was
called to prove the goods were hers and that she had
only lent them to her daughter, and the daughter was
called to corroborate the statement, and to say that she
had frequently told it to her husband.—The defendant
was galled, and said two years before he got married to
plaintiff's daughter she told him the goods Were here,
that she bad them given to her by her mother in consi-
deration of paying a bill of about £2O due by her
mother to Mr. Brant, brewer, and that 'wither his
wife nor her mother had said one word to him about
the goods belonging to plaintiff until after differences
arose between them, in consequence of parties opening
to the house whom he thought it was not proper
should come there. He also alleged that a feather bed
and some sheets bad been taken away by his wife and
her relations. For the last 15 months the plaintiff bad
lived in his hones, and had had parochial relief during
that time.—ln reply to the Judge, the wife said for siz

PORDIPOTON GUAKDIASS OF THII POOL—At the late
election of guardians for the Dorchester Union, Fording.
ton had to sleet two gentlemen to thatofflos, and two only
were nominated. At the election it appeared that one
of them—the Res B. W. Pears—was not qualified, his
ratal being below the minimum fined by the new law,
and, therefore, the Clerk to the Board of Guardians
(Mr. H. Lock) only returned one (Rev. c. J. Bird) as
duly elected. The matter was represented to the Poor
Law Board, and they replied that they would issue
orders for an election to the vacancy on the application
of the Overseers of the parish. These communications
were laid before • vestry meeting held at But Ford•
ington on Friday afternoon, under the presidency of the
Rev. F. G. Monk, when it was agreed that the Over-
seers should reezir:tithe Poor Law Board to adopt
measures for b about the election of another
guardian, so that parish may be duly represented at
the Board.

Han! CUTrOsre COitheae.—There was • large
&adieus' at the Guildhall. on Monday evening, to hear
• concert by Harry Clifton and others use known to
fame, and every one present—those who wanted good
mule, as well as thus who only required amusement—
appeared highly gratified, and it is seldom, indeed, that i
SO enjoyable • concert t given in Dorchester. Miss
Fenny 'Edwards sang several ballads in excellent style,
and made herself generally useful in duetts and chorea's
with good effect. Harry Clifton—well, perhaps., were
' just • thought disappointed in him. Alter all the
tt umpeting he has resolved, our expeetations were very '
great, and we found him only an ordinary ringer.
" Pulling bard against the stream" was one of the songs
he gave, but it Was by no means • telling rerformancw,
and our townsman J.R.T. sings it infinitely hotter.
At the same time, Harry Clifton in his special line, as •
comic vocalist, was eminentlt sucessfet, and he Dever
descended to vulgarity. Paddy's wedding" laid
" Polly Perkins" were particularly good, and provoked
roars of laughter. Mr. D'Almaine won golden opinions
at the outset by the charming manner In which
he sang " Mill May," and he rubsequently
rendered good service. Mr. Ernest Fox has • grand
voice and uses it well. He sang the greet air "Oh,
ruddier than the cherry," in "Act, and Galatea," in
masterly style. The applause wu vehement at the
close of almost every performance, and no end of enures
were called. Altogether it was a first-rate two boars'

In concluding an excellent missionary sermon from the
words. "Soo, go to work to-day in my vineyard."
(Matthew :rd. 28), the Arteseon said :—Now,
brethren, my own little day's work in this portion of
God's vineyard closes with to-night, It bas been •
'puree of much regret to myself that I have not been
able to do more amoopt you for the rionvenion of
souls, for the building up of Christians in our most holy
faith, ard for the relief and comfort of tb• sick and
needy. I have honestly and constantly aimed at setting
before you, without fear and without reserve, the great
doctrine, of the gospel—l have sought to show you, that
If you would be saved, you must look to the cross of
Christ alone for pardon and peeee—l have aimed at
inculcating repentance towards God and faith towards
our Lord Jesus Christ. For whatever has been done to
God be all the glory, and for what has been left undone
or has been done amiss, may He, who knoweth our ,
infirmities, and remembered' we are but dust, forgive.

(the Rev. John Miller) is amen of experience and wisdom,
and I have reason to know that in the parish he bee
lately vacated he was much Moved. Extend to him
then the same kindness you have uniformly shown to

THE QUEEN'S OWN REGIMENT YEOMANRY

The annual assembly of this gallant regiment, at ,
Weymouth, took place on Saturday last, when 'sudden

amumed more of its summer gay appearance. The
various hotels bad the red and blue ensigns flying, and
the Prince, Portland steamer, was decked from stem to

vessels lying in the harbour. In St. Thomas-street
flap and banners floated in all directions, and bunting
was similarly displayed in St. Mary-street, and Bond-
street, and the other inhabitants In a greater or lee'
degree signified their pleasure on the arrival in the
town of the Yeomanry. The morning was gloriously
fine, but towards the afternoon portentous clouds began
to gather in the north. But notwithstanding the
threatening aspect of the weather, hundreds of protons
arrived by train from Portland, Dorchester, end adjoin-
ing stations by the London and South-Western and
Great Western Railways, whilst others came in various
vehicles. At a quarter-past four o'clock the railway
company brought in about 80 of the Portland Artillery

WEYMOUTH COUNTY COURT.
The monthly county court was hold at the Guildhall
on Saturday last before the judge, T. E. P. Loire',
Esq. There were 107 original plaint*, five original
judgment summonses, and five adjourned summorlise
on the lint, but the following was the only case worth
notice.
A DisPUTED CL•lll.—The London and South
Western Railway Company e. Capt. Sorivea.—Tbie we.
• claim for £3 lbs. bd.. the balance of • *barge made by
the coompaey against the defendant for the eirrlage of
seven packages, containing • billiard table. from
London to Portland. From the evidence adduced
it appeared the defendant is the proprietor of the
Royal hotel. Portland, and he purchased •
bathed table from an eminent maker, who forwarded
the table, according to the defendant's instruction,
peeked into seven cases, all beim marked "Slate, with
'care." The packages were delivered, and • claim was
made by the company of Cl 15a. Id., which the defend-
ant paid to the oompany's agent. It however transpired
that a clerk in the company. egrets. in London made an
error in the charge, and a fresh hill was sent to the
defendant, which he refused to pay, and hones
the dis Pate. The company was represented by Mr.
Beth, edidtor at the Clerk's office, Waterloo 'Wien;
and the defendant by Mr. Howard.—Kr. Edwin
Thomas Target was called, who said he was the station.
waiter, at Portland, in the service of the oorspany.
He forwarded the claim to the defendant, which be
refuied to gay. Ever nines be bad been stationed at
Portland, a period of three years, the eempany made •
charge of 755, per ton upon all goods of • similar natare
to that belonging to the defendant, When goods were
well packed the company charge 25 per cent extra.
The seven oases arrived at the station msrked"Shit., with
care," and charged for at the rate of 275. ad. per ton,
but at that time the clerk made an error in the charge,
not being aware that the cane contained • billiard table,
the slate being of • very different meterial than the
eommoo slate. His sgent made the brat demand upon
the defendant, under his authority.—By Mr.la °ward :He
could not swear to the hand writing of the letter pro-
duced, but it evidently came from the company, by the
Minstar,. The cases weighed one ton five cwt.—James
Thresher said he was the agent to the company, and
delivered the goods to the defendant, which be saw
unpacked. He nilde the brit claim, and the defendant
said he understood that the carriage would be only 335.
He delivered a billiard table at the Verne some time
ago for the officers at Portland, and a charge of £4 was
made by the company, which was pald. It was an
ordinary charge for goods of costly description.—Mr.
Bath said that was his case, when Mr. Howard, in
addressing the Judge, remarked that it was an un-
fortunate case of dispute between his client and
the company, Captain Serie(*) fought the case
upon principle. At the time his client purchased the
table of the makers he understood that the charge
would only amount to 30a by roil, or at • less figure
by vessel. His client had been • ship captain, and
; knew the charges made for the carriage of goods. He
contended that • vessel would bring similar goods for
shout 12s. per too, and thought the claim made by the
1, °emptily was an outrageous charge. Hit client paid the
' first claim of CI 15a. ld., but refused to pay the second
claim. Hs called Captain &riven, who informed his
Honour that the maker of the Uhl saio railway
charge would only amount to about 30..—8 y his
HODOOr The maker was not present. He did not make
any agreement with the railway officials as to tliq
' charge of the rionveyanes of the table.—Hia Honovr said
the company had made • fair claim, as the table was
manufactured of wetly materials, which the company
were liable for if any damage had been done to the
I Mates, therefore he should give • verdict for ths
plaintiff., with costa.
CREWE ABBAS.
Fig,—On Wednesday, iit mid-day, • man named
Robert Gillingham discovered fire ironing from a cottage
occupied by Levi Clarke, labourer. He made an
alarm, and a body of polies were soon on the spot.
They were unthla to subdue the flames till three

belongs to Lord Rivers, and the cottages belonged to
the farm of Kr. Fooks, and were let to his labourers.
The damage done is to the estoot of £l2O, and the
premises are not insured. The fire was caused by a lad
of Clarke's playing with huger matches.
