Mr. W. E. BRIII6III. M.P., .i.l he thanked very much
the Chairman for the kind and affable way In which he
prowesed the tout, and them all for the cordial manner
In which they received it The Chairman in illustrating
his remarks quoted him u saying • good carver reserves a
little of the best for himself : and he did not think that
wan wrong. He certainly shoul.l not have taken the
trouble to spend aix months almost entirely in London if
he did not receive something. Its had received great
honour: it was a great mark of honour to be made the
member for such a borough as Dorchester-and that was
the little b:t for his plate : the rest of the turkey (as it
happened to he that night)-his work in Parliament had
been honestly given to them. and, when in London. he

had been no great measures of imperial interest, lot several
on which he laid great stress, est theys affected the life of

on all sides with treat satisfaction, and he hoped it would

been directed to legislation affecting Friendly Societies,
in which one fourth .tf the people of the country were

Act, and their members saved from the painful creme-

The Chairman had been gosh enough to say that his
tenants thought hint a good landlord. lie was afraid
that KMIIO present who agreed with hint in polities-and
those who did n d-would not quite understand the
(muse be had adopted in regard to the Agricultural
Holdings Act. Ile should not have mentioned it only the
Chairman said be was consideml a good landlord. When
the Bill ratile on fir consideration he was here attending&

of the measure, he kept away front the house. The Bill
Paused, and it weal.' come into force in Fehruary next.
Two days ago he gave notice to his tenants that he was
nut going to put himself under it. Some might think it
strange that he should reject the Art of his 4•wn party ;
hut there were many Arts which as a party on one side of
the House they might like, that they would not as
individuals when it affectvl their own private property-
(hoar, bear and applause). They might like to know why
he ohjected to the Act, and he would tell them. It was

he did not want the lawyers, that assail -(great laughter).
li.' was sorry to my it with • lawyer for the Chairman,
but that wan really the CARO. If he were to accept the Art
the first thing he should have to do would be to have his
farina valued, and. at the end of say al-years' lease, to have
them re-valued. Most likely both would have Om name
valuers they had at the outset, but he would bet £25 to Is,
they would not then agree(laughter, and hear, hear).
Then ffie matter would he sent to the County Court, and
then somewhere else, and he should he always at law. The
result would be he should part with tenants which he
hoped to retain during his lifetime -(applan.). At the
same time he was perfectly satisfied that if lie were to
adopt the Act he should increase the value of lois rents a
great deal when the farms came to lie re-valoell. it was
all very well for the people who hronght that measure
forward-landowners who always granted leases and were
not resident landlords. lie thought that a resident land-
lord ought not to look simply for what he eoul.l get nut
of the land, hot to the happiness of living in peace and
harmony and good feeling with his tettanta-(applause).
And not only with them but with the lahoorent also, and
all employed on the estate-(applause). If a titan wanted
ti make money by land he shoold buy an estate in
Somerset or Lincolnshire, let it on leases and never go
near it, then he might get • very good per centage for his
money but if he went down and • tenant persuaded him
to put • cowshed here and another there a good deal of
rent would go in that way -(laughter) If they wanted to
make money by land it must be held in • very matter of
fact way Mit he ulid not think that any landlord who
lived on his estate ought to look to rental as his means of
living -(applause). For the rest in the [fun., of (7 1111 l mons

cursed with that plague; for why should they sulker from
it any. more than they did in Kent. where it had not been
n expeenred to one-tenth of the extent it had in Dorset.
Ile saw no reason why they could not adopt means to atop
it here. As to other matters, the chief topic in the recess
had been the naval nalshape, which would no doubt
receive attention, and, latterly, the interest thin country
had acquired in the Suez Canal—fapplausel. About that
trannaction he thought they had got a great deal to hear
—they did not yet know the whole story. Some people
said we haul bou.tht half the shares. others nail only one-
eighth; no we did not know exactly what it amounted to.
Bat they knew one thing, that when these share. were
°tiered and taken by the English Government. they would.
haul we not acquired them, have gone to a lointetock
conunat.y. They all knew what that meant A company

cared for nobody. could not he kicked ; and, as to maintain-
ing • right of way, they would stop it up directly if it
answered their purpose. But would it not be a monstrous
thing that any company, by simply sinking a ship of 300
of 400 tons, could stop the nearest road from England to
our Indian empire? Before we bought those shares the
Khedive of Egypt was the only person to whom appeal
could be made if anything went wrong, as to dues or
anything of that sort; hut now the Eitslish Government
would be largely responsible to connection with the other
owners. This must have been well known to the Govern.
ment before they took the step they did, and he thought
great credit was due to them for seizing the opportunity
with such promptitude as they did. For due caution in
the transaction the Goverunient was responsible to the
House of Commons and the country, and if anything were
wrong they would not be spared. But as the purchase
had been praised by the public at large and met the
approval of financial authorities, he thought they might
conclude it MIMI an advantageous purchase ; anil if so, they
could not do less than feel satisfied with the Ministry that
had conducted it.. We might be sure that now the Suez
Canal would be kept an open highway for our ships on
their way to India, and that they would be saved from
voyaging round the stortuy Cape of Good Hope—(hear,
hear). In conclusion he thanked them for the kind
reception of the toast —(applause).
Here the CHAIRMAN read of the accident to the Prince
of Wain in India, and his providential MACAW. and it WM
received with applause.
The CHAIRMAN next gave " the agricultural interest,"
enlarging on the identification of Dorchester with agricul- I
tore, an I wishing that interest prosperity. Mr. ("lenge.'
name was coupled with the toast.
Ur. R. Genie (Chairman of the Dorchester Farmers'
Club) returned thanks, and expressed the pleasure it
afforded them is come in from the country and mingle
with the inhabitants of Dorchester. In their country
homes they were not nearly so far advanced as in Doe'
chester, for they never got beyond a saddle of mutton in
farm houses, yet here they found a baron of beef
(laughter and hear, hear).
The VICE.CMAIRMAN Proposed "The health of the Mayor
and I 'orporation of Dorchester." It was • toast which wee
always welcome at meetings of that kind, anti he was sure
it was a great pleasure to see present the new Mayor. Ile
was likely to have an eventful year of Ake, but be had
confidence in saying that the agricultural body would
render every assistance in their power to bring matters to
• satisfactory issue and in the hope of obtaining as much
perfection as they could expect, and he was satisfied that
Mayor and Corporation on their part were anxious to
promote as far as possible the benefit of the agriculturists
—OmPlaum).
The llsrosi (Mr. A. Emson) thanked them very cordially.
He was very pleased to see so many of the Town Council
present. It showed the interest they took in the borough,
and In matters which were looming in the distance. Mr.
lbsmen had been pleased to refer to the work which they
had in hand, and which certainly preseed somewhat upon
them, vis., in connection with the changes taking place In
the borough as to the fair said market field and the various
alterations in progress. He felt confident that there were
in the COMO& good men who had the talent and the
desire to aid hits in every possible way; and therefore,
