STXONDSIIIIRT FILIMIDLT Socisre.—Daring the Peet
four ur five years the anniversary of this old established
club has had the most inauspicious weather; but
happily Tuesday last proved • welcome exaeption, and
the sun shone on one of the fairest days of the season.
The band of the let D.R.V., under Bugle-Major
Foster, started, in company with the officers and
members, from the CVMS Keys, proceeded Provi-
deuce Cottage where they were cordially received and
hospitably treated by the president, C. Edmunds,
Fan. From there they passed on to Crepe, over NYPe
Down, to the extreme west of the parish, returning to
Sy condsbury just before noon. Divine service was
held In the parish church, the rector, Rev. IL liawlin-
son, preaching the sermon from Col. iii, 17. Upon
leaving, about half-past one, the procession was
relonned, wending lie way to a field near the church,
kindly lent for the day. 'I he band halted near the
marquee, where the roll was called and the officers
appointed for the ensuing year, Committee :
Messrs. C. Edmunds, W. Gibbs, A. Harris,
A. H. Morey, A. Hull, G. Pitfield, It. Hoskins,
and H. Rowe. Stewards: Messrs. N. Wakely, I. Con-
way, B. Knight, and F. Dunham. The trustees are
Messrs. W. Pitfield, W. Bradford, and W. FAswood ;
secretary—Mr. J. Sticklaud. The company then
sojourned to the tent for dinner, which was laid by
Host W. Trump in his well-known excellent style.
Me viands were of the choicest description, and were
heartily enjoyed after the long march Over the
" Downs." U?on the removal of the cloth, the presi-
dent, who presided, gave the customary loyal toast',
which were right loyally received with musical honours
by the band. The Army. Navy, and Volunteers,"
was responded to by Quartermaster-Sergeant Roberta
and Sergeant Manumit for the volunteers, Mr. N.
Cleat for the yeomanry cavalry, and Bugle-Major
Fester also for the volunteers. "The Bishop and Clara
of the Diocese and Christian Ministers of all Denomi-
nations," was the next toast. The Chairman said U
calculations were made regarding the stipends of
dissenting ministers it would be found they were very
small imdeed. It was too bad that those who laboured
in the cause of the Gospel should be so badly paid.
Speaking of the clergy, the worthy Chairman pointed
out that when clergymen conducted themselves as they
should, no men received more respect or courtesy; it
was when they interfered with their religion to
make it savour more of the Church of Rome
that they became unpopular. (Hear, hear.)
The toast of the day, "Success to the society" came
next, and was cordially received. Mr. Edmunds
referred to the collapse of a sick branch, which he
some time ago expressed a whib to be established in
connection with the club. He was sorry for this, as
he considered every society should make • provision
for sicknees. He coupled the name of Mr. Stickland.
(Cheers and musical honours.) Mr. Stickland, the
indefatigable secretary, returned thanks. During the
past year five members and two members' wives had
died. £47 10a. had been paid for deaths in a single
year, but be bad not he a murmur. Four had sold
out, the reason assigned being inability In meet payment,
&c. The number on the books w.s 155. OW at the
bank was still to their credit. (Cheers.) The
health of the trustees was then drunk, followed by that
of the chairman. The vice-chairman, Mr. J. Pitfield,
followed, and was cordially received. The " Prase
was duly acknowledged by the representative of the
Telegram. The ladies, and visitors, concluded the toast
list, and a must ecjayable gathering. Amongst the
visitors were Maws. G. Edwards ('3hideock),
T. Plowman, R. Guppy, R. Clent, R. Samson,
D. Roberta, Q. 51.8 , Hedditoh, &c. The
majority of the company repfired to the open air, and
various amusing sports were indulged in, and dancing
was kept up in earnest. The bells of the
church sent forth some merry peals at intern:wit
vi lags campanologieta being assisted by the Bridport
guild, which performed some creditable "changes.

appeared—The cane was hrard in April.—Mr. Jolliffe now
appealed to His Honour to grant a new trial; but His
Honour stated his conviction that there were no grounds
for a new trial—The Judge ultimately said he was afraid,
under the circumstances, that after what the son had told
defendant, the defendant came unprepared, and that
there should be • new trial, but asked Mr. Jolliffe if he
could c .m 6 to any arrangernent.—Mr. Jolliffe intimated
his willingness to see Mr. Gundry, and see if the matter
could be settled—Upon • question being asked by Mr.

St. Michaels-lane. Y. Richard Marsh, South-street, horse
dealer-Mr. Gundry appeared for plaintiff, who had
purchased a pony of defendant for LI It was warranted
sound with the exception of • little affection in the wind.
-Plaintiff alleged that Marsh told him the pony would
last him for three or four years. He offered to sell it for
£6, but plaintil gave .01 for it. It was put in plaintiff's
'table over but the next morning it was in a
fearful at ,tsi and had to be killed. It was his opinion
that Um animal had been " doctored up" for the purpose.
Marsh now said the pony was but 11 years old, but Hill
insisted the age to be 2 years. -His Honour considered
plaintiff had bought the animal with his eyes open, and
gave a verdict for defendant without costs.
LANDLORD'S LIABILITIRS.-An action was brought by

64., value of a parcel of drapery goods and a whip from
Mr John S. Harding, landlord of the George Inn,
Bri issort-Mr. F. W. Cluedry appeared for plaintiff and
Mr. J H. Jolliffe for defendant -The plaintiff, called by
Mr. Gundry, stated having come into the town with a
horse and waggon, and accompanied by his wife and
daughter, on Saturday, 17th Apnl last. He put up at the
George. During the day some purchases were made at a
draper's, and the goods wrapped in a brown paper parceL
PLuntiff took the parcel back to the inn and placed it on
the kitchen table He, with his wife and daughter, went
home the same night, forgetting to go in for the parcel.
Mrs. Hann swore to the value of the goods. -Ellen 'Hann,
daughter of plaintiff, deposed being sent into the town on
the following (Sunday) morning to fetch the parcel. She
I asked the servant at the George about it, who told her
I there was a parcel left and she had removed it from the
kitchen to the dining room. Witness waited whilst she
the servant, went in to search for it. She came back
saying she couldn't see it. She admitted baying taken
them away, bet she could not find the things when
she went to look for them. Both the daughter and wife
of plaintiff denied that Mrs. Harding should say-if
parcels were left there they must be given int.) her
custody.-Mrs Harding had said that parcels may be left
there-Mr. Gundry, wishing to further prove that the
parcel had really been left there, and actually taken care
of by the servant, called Sergeant Gale, who swore hearing
the servant say she bad taken • parcel with an old whip
on the top of it, from the kitchen to the dining room. -Mr.
Gundry quoted a case heard in the Nisi Prins Court in
support of his case. Landlords had certain privileges
granted them ; they were bound to take charge of goods
deposited at their houses, and to have • watchfulness over
their houses for their safety, and were liable for
negligence-Mr. Jolliffe argued the place was infolic, and
the articles should not have been placed where they were
without saying anything to anyone.-Verdict for defend-
ant without costa.

of them, and having since sold it to a farmer for .f. 5 he
sued for the cart, which still remained in pesestion of

mented upon the strange arrangement that one purchaser

the order from a tuperio•, and he was bound to obey it.
—The Court ordered the cart to be given up to defendant,
or 30a damages. —Defendant promised to give it up at

The date for holding the first meeting of the
Bridport Liberal Association, in a great measurN
depends on the movement of the Central Liberal
Association, but it will unquestionably take place
either on Thursday or Friday next, 3rd or 4th of June.
Whilst we from our heart of hearts rejoice in the
return of a Liberal Government with the eolemn and
firm belief that such • Government will, as it pre-
viously has done, promote the wealth, prosperity, and
moral advancement of her Majesty's subjects and
dominions, let us at the same time hope for the good
which such • local association is sure to bring in its
train.

Although the Jingo Journals hugged the vain notion
during the late contest that their Israelitish idol
would again be inverted with the reins of office, they,
with chagrin and dire dismay, discovered the country
was well tired of its spoilt child, and that Mr. Glad-
stone was reinstated to the Premiership. They, of
course, prophesied the calamitous results which could
not, they said, fail to follow. They tell us we have
little more than an ephemeral Parliament, • Parlia-
ment of demagogues and mobs—that we, as • nation,
are on the high-read to a revolution, and that England,
the land of integrity, the home of the free and brave,
Is on the brink of irretrievable destruction and utter
ruin. Perhaps this would have been the state of
things if the opposition were much longer allowed to
sound the depths of the national coffers.

But as to Bridport things have recently occurred to
open the eyes of the voters, which will incite than as
a duty they owe to their nation, their cause, and
themselves to anxiously await the setting afloat of
this much desired movement. If there were any
cajoled into selling their birth-right for less than a
mess of pottage (and I believe there were many) for
promises held out to them which a moment's reflec-
tion could have assured them never could be fulfilled
—if there arc such, let them identify themselves with
this work, as all good Liberals assuredly will.
