Post office at quarter-past eight the same evening.
On the following morning, about half-past nine, be
went with Mr. liouson to the prisoner's house. The
prisoner was in bed when they w rived. He heard
Mr. Howson tell him he was from the Missing Letter
Department l'ost-office. London, And, in oonmequenct
of numerws complaints of letters lost in passing
through the Dorchester Post-office, he had come down
to make enquiries. The prisoner made no reply. lie
asked him if he had been on duty on the previous
evening, and he said he hacifrom seven to ten and from
three to five in the morning. Mr. Houton Informed
him • letter had been posted at the Dorche,ter Post-
office at quarter-past eight, addressed to "Miss
M. Lagge, Church-place, buoy, near South-
ampton." He asked prisoner if he knew anything
about it and he replied be did not. Witness told
I prisoner he warn a police °Mater and then commenced
to make • search. On a beam which ran across the
room over the prisoner's bed be found a roll of wall-
paper. On taking it d wn another piece of paper and
I 44. penny postage stamps fell out. He add to prisoner
tiers are some postage stamps," and he replied
"Yes, they were sent to us by my wife's sister." He
then asked "When?" and prisoner replied" About two
months ago." lie then called Mr. Efottson in the
room, who In the meantime had cone downstairs.
I Witness showed him the stamps, whiilt he identified.
He told prisoner they were some of those which had
been placed in the letter about width he had been
enquiring. Prisoner again said they had been sent to
him. Witness told him he should have to make •
thorough search, and he replied "Don't search any
more, I will tell you where the others are." He then
went to a box that WM in the roam, and took from
underneath a piece s f paper (produced) containing two
half-sovereigns. Mr. Ronson identified them as by
the two he enclosed in the letter. 'I hey then went
downstairs, awl from behind a picture the prisoner
took 27 penny postage stamps. Mr. ilonson identified
them as the remainder of the 71 which had been
enclosed in the letter. Prisoner asked to be allowed
to speak to his wife, and he then said to her "I have
taken some money old stonos." She seemed very
much set milled, and said "Whatever m ole you do
it?" and he sal "I don't know, hut it is the first
letter I have taken." Prisoner was then taken to the
Folice-station.
Mr. Symonds to prisoner: D) you wish to ask any
question.
Prisoner: No sir.
Tlaamal Ralph Gollop said he was an assistant at
the Post-office, and the prisoner had been • letter
carrier and acting sorter for • little more than seven
years. He was on duty last Tuesday from 645 to
10.10. The prisoner was also on duty the same evening
from seven to ten. It was prisoner duty to take the
letters out of the letter-box and to face them previous
to stamping. Witness sorted the letters that evening.
If there ha I been a letter addressed to Botley near
Southampton, it would have been put into the South-
ampton bag. That bag would have been despatched at
9.55. Prisoner would have tied the bag,but Mr. Car ter
another assistant would have sealed it.
Alfred Perry, clerk at the Post-office, Southampton,
said he was on duty when' the mail bar from the
Dorchester Post-office arrived last Wednzsda
morning. The bag was then securely tied and
From instructions received he opened the bag Matadi
wad carefully examined the contents. There was no
letter in it addressed to MIMI Legge, Church-plaoe,
Botley, near Southampton. He communicated with
Mr. Honson.
The prisoner on being questioned, said be had nothing
to say.
He was then formally committed at the Luise* to
be holden at Winchester. The magistrates at the
Quarter Sessions, it appeared, would have no jurisdic-
tion in the matter,

Mr. Manna was proceeding In croes-exentining witness
when Captain Manse' suggested that there W.LI sufficient
evidence to committ b .th prisoners. Mr. lianas contended
there was not a tittle of evidence again.t Andrrws.

followed him, and told him he should take him to Mr.
Donning for taking the points, and, meeting Kr. Domain,,
they took prisoner and gave him in charge. He turned
the bag out before he met Mr. Dunning, and in it he had
some rabbit skins and the mints.

lie did not think that would b • very good argument to be
used even by those who were rather unwilling to give the
assistance which they hoped on seoond th•mehts they
would be disposed to gee; because the f set was the
treatment of idiots was • very &fluent kind of treatment
from that of ordinary insane penmen,. Ile did not mean
for cue. moment t ~•dvocate tea much clusilloati" too

mucic-diZaii-ii different kinds of insane POC4OIIII. He
did not quit* agree witbeom. who advocated cat rying that
principle to • vsry great extent. In their own asylum
they found that the differeut kinds of patients, and the
different classes, were able to *how very great
kindness, and did show very great kindness to
one another, which he thought materially assisted, and,
he believed, he might say promoted the Improvement of
one another—certainly they were • comfort to one another.
Keay and many • time he had esen grown-up elderly
persons, in the kindest manner, lo.hing after idiot chil-
dren, assisting the more infirm, and pro noting their
comfort in many ways. Be, therefore, was not one of
those who, in regard to all classes of lunatics, were
advocates for whet he called over-classification. But
idiots certainly stool upon • very spe hal and peculiar
footing. It was rather noted that the idiot w. 4 never
really curet. He spoke in the presence of thous who
knew more of this subject than he did; but he believed
there were very few instances in which • child or a grown-
up portion who really came under the's:laical term of idiot,
could be said to be rosined ii sanity. But if they could
not be restored to sanity it was surprising what could be
done by excellent mina ;eau nt. nnd juliciouscare. Nide/ars
they might say—Why multiply int ututione of this kind—
why not, if you have money to give, give it in support of
that which had been for • considerable period of time,
proved to be an institution doing • great and beneficial
work. There was one reason and one answer to that, and
to his mind &conclusive cum It was this, Ragweed was
already, in his opinion too large. He believed that for
the care of idiots—not for the cure, but for the improve-
ment of idiots, or in the words of the resolution
"ameliorating their condition." the contact of the
individual mind of the child or young person with that of
the superintendent, or the person who had charge of
then., and who had the charge of his education—
the individual contact of his mind and influence with
the poor patient, was essential for successful treatment.
It could not be deputed, they could not do it by
deputy. They might, DO doubt, have very good under
men: they did • great deal it was true; but it was the
influence of the master mind that must he brought to
bear upon the tioor patient, if they were to produce any
great effect. No doubt they had seen that in the report
of the excellent gentleman, as he had no doubt be was, the
honorary chaplain of the institution. Anybody who
heard that report must be satisfied that there was an
amount cf good and important influence brought into
contact with the poor patient' that must be productive of
the greatest good to them. They might say he was rather
contradicting himself in speaking as he did of its being
for the institution that the head and chief of
necessary
ertAlishmetit abould to Irsir his mind upon

every child ; but he did not at all qualify that statement.
lie considered it was valuable and desirable that institn.
tions should be so far multiplied, that they should not have
such a great number In any one institution that the head
and chief (end. of course. hie being the head sit 'chi., was
an acknowledgment that ho was the best person and in' et
understood the work) should be unable, perstn-
ally, to be acquainted with every child under
hie care, ant not only acquainted. but to bring his
influenoe and mental'power to act upon each individuil
person in the institution and so promote the improvement
and ameliorate the condition of each patient Now that
was so far so regarded the question of having a larger
number of such institutions. In regard t this particular
one he had heard the r,port read, but had not lied an
opportunity of looking closely into it. Ile obis irved one
thing, however, and that was that thief:l4ll,44l°n must be
conducted with very great care and economy. Ile knew
pretty well what the institutions established for the care of
lunatics required by way of fund, to keep them in action
and in proper condition. He found that the tot it coat s 4
this institution was about 4:2,000. std there were 70
patients now being treated in the institution. which
would give a cost of from £2O to £26 pr head for each
inmate per you'. or • cost of soinetlithe like 10.. a week.
This showed that it must be carried on with very great
care and economy. which he hoped would be a reason f. r
those who were kindly interested in much an °black to be
ready to give their money and support towards it. There
were none of them who had too much money—at least he
did not think it was a common complaint—(taughter)—
therefore, when they did give it, they liked to kilo. it
was well evnt and WU net wasted. He was
quite sure it would not be waste I in this insititulion.
There was another thing mentioned in the report--;tsPoke
of patients beiFit tthen to church, and and was e.id they
. . . . . .

were now end—elitouring, and, lade 4, bad to a certain
extent, made provision for them in the insititu.iln itself.
He supposed they might take It for granted that on the
whole that was the bettor arrangement, but Viers was
. . . _ . . .

something very plea' int and very gratifying la the fact
that poor childree and poor afflicted persons of such
description could go to their perish church, but he
supposed there were objections to that. There wee the
objection to the rest of the congregation, who would be
subjected to some unpleasantness and where they were not
accustomed to gee them, they might disturb the con.
gregationv. Bud besides it was mentioned in the rep irt
with regard to the exposure to the weather, and it was
necessary that these po it dusts of persons should be well
sheltered from the wet and inclement weather, so he
supposed it was practically impossible for them to attend
their own parish church, but it had seemed to him such •
very pleasant thought He did not think there were any
other points to which he might invite their attention ; but
ha might point out that, as one of those responsible for the
management of the Pauper Lunatic Asylum in this county,
that he consulted with their excellent superintendent and
had applied to the committee of the &aircrew [doe
Asylum to receive three of their idiot girls from Cher:
minister. They were received on the most liberal terinPer
much more Lberal than he could have expected. They
were there for some time, and from their eseulne clime
they could not expect any great imprJeernent cog! be
effected, for they could not expect in all cane. or Oven In
any very large proportion, much impeovemint, but is
these cases they ware carefully look-ed after and wire
brought beck, if not materiel* improved certsintliaate•
might asy, better for their little change of ales nd
of Institution—quite as mach improvement as they had
any right to expect, peeheps. But alter all, as bad
been before observed all they could do in this class ef
persons was improvement. and that improvement
eertalnly,in some cases might be carried to • considerable
extent. It was a remarkable feature of the elegant
report, and one which he was not acquainted with before,
when he observed that although in other things the mind
was difficult to awaken yet it genus the mind was mon
susceptible to reyous truth, moderate as that reception
might be. He h very great pleasure in submitting for
their acceptance this resolution, and in conclusion IN said
If the county of Dorset and those who had the mean; end
had a feeling of commiseration for this very helpless wet
oertainly deverving clan of our fellow creatures would
come forward and assist the funds of this institution.
he was sure they
_would be doing • great 1004.
HO knew they had had assistance given them in receiving
three poor girls from the public asylum, brig he oertainly
they
was not Amara ha any other ohildren from the
county it tho Institution, either before or at the present
time; and that was a claim upon them which he hoped
**county would acknowledge. (Applause.) Mr. Floyer
then proposed the resolution which was as follows :
"That this meeting, feeling great sympathy w.th the con-
dition of the idiot and imbecile, and greatly approving and
commending the efforts mule for the amelioration and
improvement of this afflicted class, hereby receives and
adopts the report"
n. Mayo. of DOILCIIZSTILII seconded the resolution.
In doing so be said Mr. Floyer had entered so fully Into
the detain of the report that he left very little for him to
gay upon It; but he expressed the hope that the town of
Dorchester and the county ally would respond to the
call which had been made by his lordship. (Hese, hear.)
It seemed tair emu* was very much beneatted by the
number of Dcreetshire ail leen who were admitted Into
the institution,ani they certainly gave vary little indeed
to the funds. He hoped, there ore, after this appeal they
would find that the town and the county would largely
support the institution for which his lordship had pleaded.
(Alaplattoo..)
The resole

_ lotion was then put to the meeting and carried
unanimously.
The SECatTARY, who is also the superintendent of
the inetitution, gave some interestiog facts reetwateg the
work of the in,tltution, and par 7 in:duly was to he noUced
