The art would bold five.—Mr. Weston: Have you
been there with • fellow-servant and your young man?
—4l. I shan't answer that—(iaughter). Being told by
theMench that she must answer it, and by her advocate
that he would give up the ease unless she did, she
replied that she had. This was the same pew u Mr.
Shier red to have. The house Mrs. Rowe lived in was
one Mr. Shier used to have. Had been told that in the
event of her occupying that pew again Northorcr
would turn her ont.—The Chairman asked Mr.
ston if he ball got • faculty.—Mr. Weston
said he claimed • right to the pew.—The Chairmen: You
can't without • faculty.—The Rev. Mr. Cox, the
Rector, was called to corroborate the turning out of the
church.-11r. Weston said he admitted it—This closed
complainalat4 car. —lir. Weston said the complainant
was not a paiishioner, there were free seats in the
church, but she chose to go into one the exclusive
right to which Northoy,r had purchased with some
house property last Midsummer twelvemontha.—Tee
Chairman rid there must be a faculty.- Mr. Weston
said he believed there was one, although he bad not got
it.—The Rector: Them is no faculty whatever. --Mr.
Weston said complainant had received notice that she
was not to go into Mr. Northover's seat, but she
persisted in going Bite one of • the first seals in the
synagogue. No more violence was used than was
necessary to eject her. Defendant claimed a bona•fide
right to the pew, and therefore, he urged, the juristic-
lion of the Bench was ousted.—The magistrates said
they had no doubt defendant thought he was right, but
he would be fined 2a. 61. for the assault, coits remitted.
—The Rector adred what he wan to do if such ft dieter-
banoe occurre I again: the service was ioterrupted for a
geartet of an hoer. The Chairman replied there was
ample remedy in the Erlesiaatical Court.,
Teem; Recessive TOLL.—The keeper of Radipole
turnpike gate (Hebditch) was summoned under 4 Get,
c. 95, a. 30, for demanding excessive toll from
Messrs. Sanger. There were also summonses for delay-
ing the horses, and also f r refusing to give a ticket
for the toll taken. Mr. Weston for complainant, and
Mr. Andrews for the trustees. Messrs. Sinter are the
proprietors of a travelling circus, and they have lately
been through this county. On Tnescley, the 4th
August, having performed at Weymouth they started
for Dorchester, where they were announced to rweorm
in tho afternoon. Mr. J Sanger was in the front
carriage drawn by a pair of horses, and It other
carriages followed in • line. On coming to Radipole
gate it was found closed. Then, according to the com-
plainant's statement, be asked the gate keeper to allow
' (them to go through, saying the paymaster (Mr. Channon)
was in the rear, and would pay for the whole. Hob-
ditch objected, and said he must have the money Brat,
and demanded Cel. for each horse. Mr. Sanger told him
lid. was the proper charge, but in order to save time
ho would pay Is. under protest, for the two hones
drawing hie carriage. This he did, and twain asked to
pus through. Hebditch declined to I.t him ge till all
hail been paid for. This delay continued for nearly
half an hour, and at last Mr. Sanger took a handful of
silver from his pocket, gave it to the gatekeeper, and
said, " Here, help yourself then, and let us R.
through." Then they were allowed to psis,—Mr.
Weston produced the local Act, authorising a toll of
41i. for every horse drawing • four wheeled carriage.—
to crou-eiomination, the complainant said he had not
heard anything about Lbeir not psying enough at
Martinstown gate. Had not in his experience known
travelling circuses to pay for the first carriage to go
through, and then the others rush by without
raying. Diti not drive against the gate to try and break
it open. The gatekeeper 'wetr offered him the change
or • ticket.—lienry Channon the psymuter, was colic I
o corrabola'e. He ailed this! ho sake' the gatekeeper
for a red, ipt for the toll taken, and he was offered the
change and a receipt. He said he a lot want the
change, and the gatekeeper would not let him have one
without the other, so he left without either.—Cross.
es %mined : Did not call Mr. clanger's private carriage a
caravan.—Mr. Andrew,: lt'e allying thing, isn't it?--
Mr. Singer: Don't call a 1.7150 carriage a "living thing."
—Witness: There is • chimney In it. —Mr. Andrew. :
Is it not the sort of thing, with a little difference in
the fitting up, that people go about with waxworks

~o then briefly addressed the Bs nch for the
-.me. Be urged that by the complainant** own
wits, is it had been shown that this vehicle was •
caravan, and, therefore, under the Ills section of the
Local Act a toll of Gd. for each horse was payable.
With svferenoe to the facts of the case he called Mr. C.
Jeaty, road surveyor, who said that he was at the gale
when Mr. Sanger came up. C ourlainent gave Hebsllteli
CI 12s. 34., and Ifebdit•h counte I the b ram, told him
Cie tolls were Cl Is. ti., and offered hios Ils. change
and • ticket. Mr. Sanger said " I shan't tilts, vane
ticket or your change, I'll summons you.--Crma-
examined : Ilebditch tendered the change and ticket to
Sang. r and two or three others in the house, soil then
he, at Ilebditclis request, again offered it to com-
plainant. Sanger tried to break open the gate with his
hones. As soon as be had paid Is. for his pair of horses,
Sanger said "stop a minute I'll pay for the whole,"
and tendered CI. I2s. 31. InAently the gate was opened
for them. They slid not atop there more than seven sir
eight minutm.—After consideration, the Chairman said
the Bench it sided that the first was • private carriage,
'in wHet 4p. toll only waa payable, and that if the
ticket was uttered at all it was offered with a condition,
and therefore was not offered in feat. Fined sa, cat.
dot., and to repay lds. lid. the excess of toll. Com-
plainant au I his witnesses had come from Dever. At
the previous court the case was adjourned because eons-
plainest did not attend, and defendant was allowed
ex as toes for that slay, CI 13s.

There were one or two other minor cases.
APPLICATIONS Toe LICENSIAL—rberIi were
eight applications for the granting of licenses to beer-
110U1P11. .it of them in Portland. Mr. Tigard supported
the applic Akin of Mr. Charles Warren, of the Britannia
hotel, Portland, pointing out the increase of houses in
the locality.—Mr. Warren said he had kept this house
for five year; It was nearly at the top of Fortune's
Well, and 100 yarla from the Poitland Arms. It had
30 feet frontage, II rooms, and plate-glass windows.
Great deal of building going on, and applications every
day for spirita—Cross-examioed by Mr. Symonds, who
opposed : There was a beer.house at the top and another
at the bottom of "tie Ladder," two publicohouses
within ltio yartla.—Mr. Symonds urged tl ere w. no
need for an incr.'s, in the licensed h‘nset. It was
seated that there are 'LS beer-houses In l'ortland,
spirit houses. —The Bench decided to hear the
whole of the applications befi re deciding.—Mr.
Howard applied for the Royal Exchange, Mr.
Able Pearce, WI ston. Portland. Mr. Symonds
objected to the notice, on the ground that it did
not set forth in the words of the schedule to the
Act particulars as to how the house had been kept for
the last throe years. —Mr. Howard said this objection
hod been over•ruled at • previous meeting. An
animated argument took plane, in the course of which,
amid muoli laughter, the Chairman said he feared the
lionch would have to bind over the contending
advocates to keep the peace. They deferred judgment
on the point of law raised.—ln rapport of the applica-
tion, Mr. Howard reniaiked that there was no licensed
house in Weaton.—Mr. Pearce said his was a seven-
roomed house. Them were 500 inhabitants in the
village.—Mr. Abraham &riven, of the Royal Hot-I,
Portland, was called, and said he believed the granting
of this license would he a great public benefit. People
didn't like Devoniall'a lipid., and after passing a house
&hint 100 yards above the Royal Hotel, they might go
nrirly all over the island, and be unable to obtain any
other.—Mr. Symonds contended there were quite
enough hauled houses already in Portland.—Mr.
Weston applied on behalf of Mr. J. T. Crow., for the
Prince Alfred, Wet, n, Portland. Thia house was in
the centre of the village, there was no licensed house
there, and the Lean at plate where spirits was sold WM
three-quarters of a mile off, namelv, the Cuomo.
Referee. The landlord formerly kept the Traveller's
Rest, which had been pulled down as the elite was
required for Government purpose; so granting this
license would net be increaaing the number in Portland.
—Applicant
.mid last week an accident occurred

,in one of the quarries, awl be was applied to
for spirits. He bad some in the house for his
own use, and gave some. The house bad about 25
feet frontage.—('roci-eamnined : There was no stabling.
Mr. Tir.ard urged that the license dropped for the
Traveller'. Best should be given to a house as near as
pocible to the site, and he intimated that the house for
it was the Sawmill Tavern for which he was about to
apply for a lioonseHlaughter)—Mr. Tis c.d. applied on
behalf of Mr. John Bird, fer the Albion Hotel,
iteronse. Mr. Symms& urged that there wets several
houses within 200 or 300 yards, and that this was not
rfquired to be liciensed.—Mr. Howard applied for Mr.
W Pram, of the Delhi Arms, the Straights, Portland,
urging that it was required beemse of the opening of
new quarries and for the accommodation of increasing
numbers of visitors. Because there were not enough
houses licensed grocers hat taken to selling wines and
spirit' to the injury of the respectable licensed
victualler. Mr. Symonds raised the objection pre-
viously taken to the form of notice, and the
C 620 was postponed—Mr. Tisard applied for
the Sawmill Tavern, kept by Mr. S. Smith.—Mr.
Symonds objected to the notice, and it was deferred.
As to the marital of the case the landlord was called.
—Mr. Tizard applied for the Bridge Inn, Badipole,
and presented a memorial signed by Mr. Ferris, J. P.,
Captain Burnett, and others. It seemed that applicant's
sister has the management of the house, and Mr.
Symonds oppowl on the ground that applicant did not
have such personal control &Oho act anticipated.—Mr.
Weston applied on behalf of Mrs. Mary Nortbover, of
the Now Inn. West Chickerell. She had kept it 35
years. —Mr. Iloward objected on the ground that this
was a small house, which was quite at a stand-stilLand
afforded no accommodation.—Mr. Tigard objected for
similar reseons.--After a brief consultation, the Bench
rejected all the applications except that for the Prince
Alfred, Weston,
