' The Court then adjourned till half-pset two, to
enable the jury to make an inspection of the town.
On resuming, the foreman announced that they
found everything in a satisfactory eta* Ow In*
spa:dors appointed by the Board of Guardians having
caused the abatement of all nuisances that until lately
existed. This gratifying presentment was gladly
received by the Court. The jury were then thanked
for their attendance and disAarged.
The SOMMORS dinner took Owe subsequently
_g the
Red Lion Hotel, the foreman of the jury (Mr. C.
Yearsley) presiding, and Mr. W. Spicer occupying
the vice.chair. A first-rate repast wee nerved up,
followed by an excellent dessert. On the removal of
the cloth the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were
duly honoured, followed by others of • local and
complimentary character. The afternoon was thus
spent very pleasantly. An adjournment took place
for tea, after which the proceedings were rammed,
and the evening passed in social enjoyment.

Kaneda, W. V. Hannah, rector of East Stoke and
F. Warre, vicar of Bare Regis, with C. 0. 11a4Jett,
Req.. the Town Clerk—now the oldest member of
the legal profescion in Doreetehire. The style of
the dinner, the wines, the cookery, and the atten-
dance at dinner, reflected the greatest credit on Mr.
and Mrs. Yeareley, and those who help them in the
several departmeets of the Red Lion Hotel, where
tbe banquet took place. It is universally
by all who were preeent,tbat no evening of theaktinl
ever before passed off with more eclat to Wareham,
and it was very much indeed added to by the fact
of the dinner table being most tastefully decorated
with a number of flowers kindly sent for the purpoee
by the ladies of the town. The official toasts given
from the chair were "The Queen," " 'The Prince
of Wales" and "His Roes of Denmark,"
"Th. Duke of Edinburgh and the other
married and unmarried prisms and princesses,
with all the rest of the Royal Family," specially
including the infants, Prince Albert Victor and
Prince George, sons of the Prince and Princess of
' Wales. "The Bishop and Clergy of all denomina-
tions," especially including those now present. The
rector of Wareham replied to this toast. "The
Army, Navy, and Volunteers," which was duly
I answered. "'1 be Recorder" was specially given
1 and was responded to by Mr. Farrar. "The
Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Portman, and the
1 Magistrates of Dorset," particularly including
Rime present; and Mr. Caloraft, as senior
taste in the company, replied. Than
Mayor" by the Rev. S. R. Cape!, which Mr. Filliter
briefly answered, and he observed that be wag most
proud to see such • party amemembled round the
table. "The Earl of Eldon" was then given from
the chair, and the toast was very happily, briefly,
and suitably answered, as was that of "the Borough
Member"—Capt. J. IL M. Calmat The Hon.
W. H. B. Portman, M.P.' J. Floyer, Esq., 'cr.,
'H. G. Start, Req., M.P. the Rev. Prebendary Bard,
Nathaniel Bond, Esq.' Colonel Mensal, and J. C.
Maned, Esq., as well as several other gentlemen,
were, very much to their regret, un-
avoidably prevented from attending. Several
other healths were proposed by those present ,
end were very well replied to. About half-pad nine
o'clock coffee was served, and many of the Mayor's
guests then adjourned to the grand jury room below,
where • number of the leading tradesmen and
others rapta.nualy received them. The fact of the
excellent dinner of the Labourer's Society, which
took place the day before at the Black Bear
Hotel, coming so close on this, prevented many
who would have much wished to have attended
both meetings from doing so.
The day's proceedings passed off most harmoniously,
and we believe, that though bat little power can be
exercised by virtue of law at these 'merlons, they
serve a most useful purpose by assembling together
the principal inhabitants of the town to converse upon
topics of local interest, and make that kindly
acquaintance of each other which is calculated to
unite them together by ties of amity and good-will.
