TRZ -11.A-L7-IIOLIDAY. The Stella,
which has been chartered by some private individuals,
who are certainly deserving of the thanks of holiday-
seekers, made a delightful trip to Wareham and back on
Wednesday afternoon. About 250 passengers were on
board, and a most enjoyable excursion was made. It is
to be hoped the same spirited caterers will repeat their
venture on riLanrfuture occasions. . . . .

two wickets, out of which the captain, Mr. Parton,
made 46. Cold collations were served up by Mr.
Ballard, of the Angel, on each occasion. Dr. Rogers
and Mr. Thompson, of London, officiated as umpires to
the satisfaction of both clubs.

POOLE COUNTY COURT.—MontAT
(Before Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkineou.)

There were about 50 plaints entered.—WilUmn
Lane, v Robert Allner.—Plaintiff claimed 2s. 6d,
for a load of manure, which the defendant had taken
from his premises without his leave. When he asked
him about it he told him he could do hi, best and
worst. —Plaintiff said he had witnesses, but they had
not come—His Honour remarked that he wait very
much like the Dutchman's anchor, when he was ja a
storm in the Zuyder Zee. It was no use to him.—A
non-suit was entered.
William Saunders v. John Hooper.—Plaintiff wed
defendant for certain damage, caused by the
defendant's cows trespassing upon the
_plaintiff's
allotment ground sod eating off his peaa.—l.Ufendant
said he himself rented the common and this he under-
stood was • piece that he had broken up out of it.—
His Honour said there was no doubt he was entitled
t , protection, even if be MIN what WM called a
" Neater. "—His Honour further asked if they were
not neighbours, and receiving • reply in the
affirmative, was about to make • suggestion, but he
was so interrupted by the parties that his Honour
remarked, "Why you are worse than women, they
are allowed freedom of speech but I expect common
sense from men." When at last be succeeded in
making himself heard, he said he wished them to be
friends, and he should give • verdict for se. only.—
Defeant : Its a down-right robbery.
Hibbs s. tiwalfiekl.—Parties lived at Lytchitt, and
plaintiff sued for money due for weeding 10 screed wheat
at is. an acre.—His Honour asked him U be did his
work conscientiously. He replied "As well as he
could for the money." (Laughter).—Defenclant said
the field was 15 acre', and he could not have
done it under 3 weeks if he had done it properly
Instead of which he was only there about 4 days. ife haj
since been obliged to put women on at the work and
had paid the difference. He thought Iss, was quite
as much as the work was worth and this he had paid
into court.—Him Honour said his sympathies were
with the plaintiff, who was an old man, and probably
was glad to earn • few shillings to keep him out of
the workhouse, but he must do what was right and
the verdict would be fr defendant; without costa.
The remaining business was a jury came brought by
Mr. Saunders against • Mr. Strachey for £lO 15s ad.
for damage done to the plants in the garden and
conservatory of • house called Ashton Grange, at
Branksome perk, which the defendant had tented of
:;11r.nlaintiff for the winter months ; the damage to the
being caused by the defendant's fowls, and to
tha piants In the conservatory by his neglecting to
protect them from the frost.
I The plaintiff is the manager of some pottery works
near Bournemouth and the defendant is a gentleman,
living at Sutton Court, Bristol.—Mr. Druitt said the
amount claimed WM £lO 15e. 6d. damages to the garden
and fiowers.—His Honour asked how he possibly
thought he and the jury were to try the case—Mr.
Bruits said it was very simple.—His Honour: Not if
I your adversary chooses to cross-examine, as to the
value of each plant and the damages done to it. —Mr.
Druitt said he should bring ample evidence to satisfy
his Honour on that point.—His Honour : No doubt, if
we sit here for • week. It is certainly • case that
should be referred to arbitration.—Mr. Druitt
continued: At the beginning of last winter season
Mr. Saunders let to the defendant Ashton Grange, at
Branksome Park, • house already furnished, Mr.
I Saunders's gardener remaining in charge of the plants
In the conservatory and the garden. During the time
I of his tenancy the defendant imported a number of
fowls on to the premises and these instead of being
shut up in a run, were allowed to stray all over the
place. The consequence they scratched and scraped
about all over the garden, gave the gardener a great deal
of troub e, broke the shrubs and damaged the creepers
against the house—in fact, one of the hens hatched a
brood of chicken under one of the creo pars by the
side of the front door, and so damaged the plant that
It died away, and whit was formerly a great ornament
was now not to be seen. Mr. Druitt then detailed
at length his case as to the plants in the conservatory
and he said the defendant not only declined to light
the conservatory fires himself, but to allow the
gardener to provide coal for the purpose, in fact he
put the key in his pocket. The oonsequenos was, thll
weather being severe, • considerable number were
killed by the frost. —His Honoui : Now this is •
ease which should come before some clear-headed
man, like a gentleman in court, Mr. Curtis,
who would say what should be done.
—Mr. Trevanion said as far as he was concerned he
was quite willing the Meyer should try it. His friend
had brought them into court and they bad nothing to
do but to meet him.—His Honour: It involves •
number of (seta the jury and tha Court cannot to put

be a view of the place.—Mr. Trevanion saiJ it might
involve the question as to what was their obligation.
The flowers were not included in the Inventory—His
Honour said that fell within the common law. If •
man bailed a horse from Poole to Witnlxorne, he must
use reasonable care, and if through any neglect, such at
any reasonable man would not have allowed to occur,
any injury should happen to the horse be is liable for
it. The only question Mr. Curtis would have to
answer would be whether it was • reasonable thing to
have a fire in the place at this particular time of the
year, and whether looking as the character of the
plants it was an =reasonable thing not to have con-
tinued it. Thee he would enquire closely into the
merits of the case.— Mr. Trevanion : Then he could
have to go one step further, and say whether we should
be compelled to find coal_.

Druitt : e say if your client had not taken the key
and put it in his pocket, we would have att_nded to
