defendant Defoidant's wife was taken in lamour on the
2nd of March. and continued so until the following day.
She at the time was suffering from the effects of an
accident, which had produced an affection of the spine.
and consequently she was Ins Mehl, nervous state. The
plaintiff, therefore, was not surprised that there was •
malformation of the child, and he was obliged to resort to
instruments. By the wish of the defendant, he calkd in
Dr. Vernede, consulting physician. She was confined, but
the result was she sank for 12 days, never having rallied,
and died.—Plaintiff proved the number of his visite,
and said his charges ought to have amoutted to 20.0.—1 n
reply to an observation from his Honour, Ur. Travers
said, to some extent, their defence would be that the
plaintiff had impropsrly conducted the case.—Then his
Honour said he would be entiUed to nothing' they could
not say he had been negligent, and therefore he was
entitled to Intl.—Mr. Travers submitted they might have
conteatel the whole claim.—His Honour: You might
have dons so, but it would lave been a very dangerous
defence. rewilect Au imputation upon • medical man
ought not to be lightly made.—lm reply to M. Travers,
plaintiff said from the first he formed a bad opinion of the
case. He called in Dr. Yarned., attar the confinement.—
Defendant was also placed in the box, and he said what
he complained of was that the plaintiff told him his wife
was going on well un.ll after the confinement, when be
saLi she would cot live. And also that he did not call in
further aid until then, although he had told him to spare
no expellee. He further said • messenger had brought him
a previous bill from the defendant, in which a 24. were
charged for Dr. Vernede's consultations, and the amount
was the same as that claimed on present bill. He had
paid Dr. Vented. himself, and, therefore, be deducted the

the bill entirely contradicted hitn.—His Honour ulti-
mately found for the plaintiff for £4 Ils.. including
Via sum paid into court. At the same time be told the
defendant he di I not think it right for him to have made
the imputations he bad upon the medical skill of that
gentleman, the plait:old. It would have been very
different if ID:. Verneda had told him he bad been called
in toe late, and he ought to have been called in before, but

In justice to the plaintiff, he felt bound, to make that

MR. SCHRIEBEH AND HIS "LITTLE BILL"
I hope the temporary member for Poole has not
been dabbling in paper, but his reference t renewing
a bill, and "thanking God it is off my hands" (though
quoted from someone else) is capable of • curious
application. I can assure him that the Nonconformists
of Poole highly appreciate his teate in qn,ting such a
remark in • discussion on • question full, to them, of
grave interest and conscientious objection. With the
uncompromising heat of • zsalot who cannot support
his eause by argument, the Member for Ei.iht calls f

OPENING OF MI NEW WESLEYAN CHAPEL.
Wednesday last was quite • red letter day in the SUDO/
of Weeleyaaism in Poole. The New Chapel the foundation
stone of which was laid with ro muck pomp and ceremony
In November of last year was opened with almost equally
attendant "circumstance. and the proceedings were of
• most gratifying character throughout. The Mayor, Kr.
Curtis, who is himself • staunch Wesleyan, has taken •
foremost part in the movement, and the heartiness and
liberality with which he entered into the progrsname of
the day must have added to his already great popularity.
He was seconded in his efforts by the Town Council, and
on Wednesday was to be men the somewhat unusual sight
of a Mayor and 0 olioration attending in state the open-
ins of • place of Nrnoonformist worship.
More than two centuries ago the Act of Uniformity
drove from the Eitabliehed Church a young priest named
John W. 'ley. Deprived of his ministration he came to
Poole and became a Noro elf ormist preacher. Merateed
by care and persecution, he died in the 34th year of his
ice; but that young man was the founder of a line of
Wesley, and his grandson became the founder of •
sect which now rivals in Power and influence the mother

ia consequently not a matter of surprise that, with glorious
weigher. a I.rgo number of brethren from distant placcs
should bare been Pemeat.
The old chapel which the sect has foot vacated was given
by Mr. Btaekenburr. It only bill aoo, and the west of
