Snauges Bits.—A grocer's porter named George
Wotan; was on Tuesday charged with stealing beer,
the geogeeta' of Mears. Pidgeon and Son.—Mr.
Hawes, wh ) appeared for the defence, said Mr.
Pidgeon was willing the case should be dismissed on
payment of the omts. The man had been discharged
from his employ after two years' service. On the
16th he to ks glass of beer from hie master without
his permirsion.—As the man had been discharged Mr.
Hanna asked *le Bench to allow the charge to be
withdrawo. Wotton wise, he said, • man well-known
in the town, and hal been in the employ of various
wine and spirit merchants for several years. He had
also been five years in the navy, from which he was
discharged with the best of characters.—The Bench
allowed the case to be withdrawn on payment of code.
Ma. Wrtts.—No doubt the announoement that the
late candidate for this borough had been compelled to
propose proceedings in liquidation oacasioned as much
astonishment as regret, with perhaps in some minds •
feeling of soreness at the suldenness of the step, and
whilst the election bills were in process of payment,
and directly after many had been mid in full. A.,
usual, inflated rumours got abroad, and in one of the
Society Journals— tither Truth or the World—we for-
get which, but it matters little (" Labby" and Yates
being very much alike), the public was informed that
the liabilities were forty Litonsand poun is and the
assets nil. As • mattbr of fact the liabilities are
under £5,000, and a statement to this effect was laid
before a meeting of creditors held on Saturday last in
London. There ars claims to the amount of £1,300
or £1.500 by relatives for money lent, £5OO of which
is for mmey advanced by the wife. It seemed that
when he went into a contest for a seat at the London
School Board a loan of £3OO was obtained from •
London Company, and this loan was asked f-ir j Ist
after the election. Interest to the extent of £7O pr
cent, was being paid on other borrowed monies, and
this, with erllle p-oceedings taken by • Weymouth
creditor, brought the difficulty to a head. But for
the precipitancy it was stated that the debtor would,
in all prebability, soon be in possession of an income
of £1,206 a year, and if binkrupt:y proceedings are
insisted on the prospects of the debtor will be entirely
ruined. The election expenses at Weymouth were
estimated at £2,760, and of this there have been
already (mid to Mr. Sherren, printer, £lO3 is. 21. ;
Mr. Jeffery, £22 ; and Mr. Butcher, £37 12s. 6d.
The Misses t-'cu tailors, of the Burdon Hotel, have
received three cheques-2100, £2O, and nn 2s. 61.
and Mr. Madge, who acted as agent, had drawn .E 290.
Amongst the bills unpaid is a claim of Mr. Carter,
boatbuilder, of Weymouth, for £199 61., one item 1.
which 1, "75 flag staff*, 1:87 11d. ;" Mr. Middleton,
Holcombe, £l5; Mr. Griffen, Weymouth, ET 7e. 61. ;
and Mr. Rolls, £4 Us. 63. A proposition to pay 21.
61. in the E in • short time and a similar sum in a few
months, with an assurance that he intended to pay all
the claims in full, was met by enquiring what the
father would do, he having allowed his son £5OO a
year. and being reputed to be one of the richest
merchant, in Edinburgh. It was alleged that under
the Scotch law the (only) son must succeed to the
father's freehold estates, but it was replied that in
case of any pressure of creditors it was probable be
would se leave his property as to prevent their obtain-
ing any share of it. Two settlements of £30,000 have
already been made on Mr. Wylie's sisters. After •
long sitting it was agreed to adjourn for • few days in
the expectation of better terms.—Sherborne Journal.—
The adjourned meeting cf the creditors of Mr. A. C.
Wylie was held in the offices of Mr. Burn on Monday,
when 10s. in the E was offered and accepted. The
following resolution was paused :-25. 61. in the E
within 11 days after registration, is. 61. in U10E1,101112
three calendar months from such If days, and Si. in
the C within six mouths froin such three calendar
months. The said two last instalments to be respec-
tively secured to the satisfaction of Mr. G. H. Barber,
the chairman of the meeting, and Messrs. Lumley and
Lumley, before or at the meeting confirming this
meolutkn.—J. Waddell, accountant to the trustee.

attributed the success of the school to the fact that
their master had thrown his whole heart and soul
into the work—not like some se.mainsarers. who are
very btr..y about o,h.r matters ',side their school. God
had ble,sed Mr. Mill o. with pee allay gifts for influencing
and instructing the youag, and these were very yveinus
gifts. 11, was q tito sure he should nit in aka Mr. Miiler

never forget that when any degree of success was v 'orb.

failure if it was not a preparation for the life that is to
come, as well as the life that now is. In courlasion he
winkled them all • happy holiday, and begged and prayed
them all to remember that after all the grand *wetter mad
obj,ct. both of teachers, parents, and scholars, must he to
sea • personal interest In the Lord Jesus Christ as their
own personal Saviour now in the days of their youth. which
would make the last going home by far the greatest, and
by far the happiest of them all.
The HEADMASTER took up Mr. Groomes' bat remark
He never began • holiday without having it upon h;s
mind, because three years ago, when they had th&r E aster
holidays, one of the brighte:t of their boys at cricket and
football and in tho school went home, and before
, half the holiday was over he received a letter to
go to his funeral. The poor lad was only ill two
days, and that holiday was his last in this world.
He asked them at these approaching holidays, when
probably they would never meet swain, all the little
troubles of the t !rm should be brushed away, and they
should take abe ter view of their future lives an-I their
future work. lib asked them not to forget Mr. G
encouraging words. This pria ,winning was not the
main object in school We, for it was a preparation for
their future life, and only in so far as their echo.'
life helped that preparation, only so far was it of
any use in God's sight. He then referred to the
Gymnasium Fund. B. the recent eoncert they cleared
o £ES. and now out of the am which it cost.
they had paid a more than three-fourths. He
should be thankful for any h hp towards getting rirl of
this Incubus of debt, and thus h ali,ss tenor the gymnal darn
without feeling it to be mortgage I. He referred to the
SUCCIIIIM of old boys. S nco last year one of their boys
had sailed round the world, and bad rune to join them in
their swimming races, iferly.rt Danl.'''. Fie also mentioned
his brother who yesterday obtained his qualifying medical
as surgeon in the nave ;another of their old schol are
s taken his degree only a few days ago, and he was now
pleased to see him arnonest them with his hood Crl, Oliver,
or as he supposed now Mr. Oliver. (bang'Aer.) Another
of their old fellows was Herbert Strum-reds, now at
Sherborne. lie concluded by exoreuing his thanks to the
Mayor and those trustees who had encouraged him by
their attendanc
The 111T011 again wished the boys a happy holiday, and
the proceedings conclu lid by Mr. ROMMTSON calling for
three cheers for the head master, who in return called for
three cheers for the Mayor and the ladies.
It Is needless to add that the boys responded most lustily
to the call.
