the police for it, avowing tirat it belonged to him !
There is • ludicroua tinge of humour about this
transaction for which Critchell ought to be rewarded.
We have not heard, however, that the police did
ere up to him what he was go clearly able
to identify. Since the sessions some intelligence
has nosed out as to the circumstances under which
the jury arrived at their unexpected verdict. One

legend, there is a precedent for his doing) he

down on a bench for repose, with the direction

convict could not long remain from his familiar abode

the girl that she should like to have the bill up to that

to become • shoplifter. We need net stop to point the
moral. Having noted, doubtless, that the oish-box at
Pool's was wittkat click, and kept in an unlocked desk

avoid being found our, whirh app-ared then so

Friday afternoon, the 22nd of November, her resolve

Vertu, of Weymouth, said : You a•k Inc to explain.
I have nothing to offsr. The Chronicle treated me in

as some others besides myself noay have the honour of

plain that I wee not properly reported. I thint it a
hardship and nst right that they should expect me or
any one to give up his maxtucript. I never should have
dreamt of doteg it. I have taken the oeportnnity since
of having it properly prnmulpted im eSteasSO, that those I
who could hot yet it when deltveled here, have had an

what Mr. Vertuc has said that if any member of the club
should think it ribit to give up bin manuscript
to the reporters well and good. but if they are told
previous to the meeting that tee member introducing a
sal-jest will not do so, then they ought to take the

he meintainel that he had done PO in the ease now in

reporing Mr. Vertne'e paper Nilo. He wrote a brief
sumin•ry, giving just as much as he considered to be of
inter. st to the cinders of the Dorset Coastal
Erpreas and the whole of the disco-situ which
followed. That wee the history of the affair. But

and gnite regardless of the space at c immend in the

mt•take had arisen as to the terms upon which reporters I
were stlmittet to the nutting. of the club. He should

replied somewhat curtly, that he should not give op

not asre to take any further notice of it. It W• 11

that the puhlication of such reports was more
aduntageoun to the club that) to the newsmen',
and if any of the gentlemen present laboured under
the impre.sion that the reporters were merely eervants

were greatly miraken. As to reporting everything

understanding as to what shall and what shall not be

we may expect some little pains have, or ought to have
been, bestowed, I thihk it ought to appear in extenso.
I think Mr. Vertu compd.'ns justly of the manner in
which he was trusted. Though if the reporters were
not aware that be declined to glee op his manuscript, it
was his own fault in not informing them of the fear.
But it appears from what we have heard that the
reporter of the Chronicle did apply for it and wee re-
fund, whereupon lie did not think it worth his while to
report at all let ink that was Dottiest the ;natter

and Mr. Virtue's paper was one which deserved to go

quite at his digeretion to say no. At the sante toue a.

the hocour of being one of those who voted fa: the

that the public should know of the matter.

reported fully. Our position in thst resact is just
this if the reporter who attopds the etch meetings

lecture, and, though it ii ably written, it is erminly
histoty, while what we porpoise to be of use to out re.s...
is practice. Under theta sires; mats nas the report we gam
was quite 'moisten', and Mr. Vertue has no just grated
for eromplejet We °harms that in publishing hi,

"faithfully" reported. In asking for a verbatim report,
we fancy Mr. Vertue hardly knew what he will asking
for, end we will take cue that our reporter does not do
him the unkicasess of publishing his speeches vereatift,

M.P. who wanted his speeches in the House of
Commons reported verbatim in the Mae,. and got 4.'11
one occasion, to his own ionnito disgust and the
amemement of the country. As to the club we cordially
echo the President's closing words.—ED.j
