Barer= Cowry Fyffe Seemoes, Monday.—
Magistrates present: Joseph Glade', Beg. (chairman),
and William Hammen, Eaq.
Heary Beans and Samuel Pookry, of Sherborne,
were summoned by Sept. McAbee for allowing two
loaded waggons, to remain on the bighwsy near
Beaminster. It Home through the horses "giving out."
The young men had walked all night from fßiorne,
to be preeent.—The Chairman said they were liable to
althea 40e., and the oasts in the present ems were
totes they had taken nob a long walk that morning,
and had explained themselves so satisfactorily, Dot only
the fine, but the coats also were remitted.
Irallo.l Robert Way, was summoned by Francis 4
Hallett of Netherbury, for robbing his gullets of four
cabbages, vales 24. Defendant pleaded guilty, and
'couldn't think how he aims to do it I—Bench : Why
you are liable to a fine of £5O, or to six months'
Imprisonment. On asking Sept. MitHalit if he knew
anything about defendant's antecedents, that officer
Informed the bench he did, and so did his unfortunate
wife, who he believed would be much better of in the
anion without hint, ash. brought her home but a small
portion of his earnings, *eliding the rest in drink;
defendant had not been long out of preen, and his
wife had but recently left the union house, where she
had been located during her husband's incarceration.
Defendant denied keeping his wife on so short an
allowance as 2s. 64. a week to keep her and form obit.
&ea, as he never gars her less than 4e. 64. and some-
times more. He bad now an opportunity of going back
to his old reader, Mr. Gale, at 14e. per week, and he
would offer to allow her Ba, per week, as she expected
to be confined every hour. The Bench were inclined
to secede to his peopled if they could believe him. and
, it was ultimately gemmed that the cam be adjourned
for two months, for Mr. MeHale to see Mr. Gee, and
to request that gentleman to pay or cause to be paid all

an honest man, and sot up to your promise, we will
remit she costs, but if you fall, you must expect to be
dealt with severely.
Martha Gale, of fialway Ash, was summoned by Mary
Hansford for an amen on the 10th inst. Mr. Day for
the defenee. It was • petty case,and defendant was fined
fuL, the omits being 10a, 14 days allowed for payment,
or in default seven days' imprisonment. Defendant
mailed when called back and informed of the consequence
of default in payment, saying, "Oh, that'le be all
right."
-France Whittle was summoned by Mr. Daniel Read,
farmer, of Poorstoek, for trespassing in search of conies
on lands in his occupation, on the 26th November last.
Mr. Day appeared for defendant. Complainant stated
that he sent defendant with another men also in his
employ to a Pertain field to repair the fences. About
two hours after he found them rabbiting, with nets
hung up, and a ferret running about the hedge. Under
defendant's jacket be discovered • rabbit. On accusing
them of tho offence,delendset immediately said," It is I,
not the other man,the ferret and nets are all mine, and as
this Is my fire offense, I hope you will forgive me."—
Mr. Doyle addressing the Bench for the defence, con-
tended there was no case against his client. inascouth as
the Act nadir which the summons was issued, gave no
power to complainant to search the defendant ; tho Act
being applicable only to policemen searching suspected
parties, and that must be done on the Highway—'
besides, the Act applies exclusively to game and excludes
woodcocks, and conies, therefore compliment had been
guilty of an illegal Act—neither had he sworn he saw
them ferreting and he cannot take a 'Teeter, of his own
wrong. His client was not in the field entoeficity, but
about his proper work, and under these circumstances
there could be no conviction.—The Chairman, after
conferring with the magistrates' clerk (Mr. F. W.
Gundry) quoted for Mr. Day's information the Mot of
let and 2nd Wiliam IV. Sea. 32. under which the
summons was granted, which gave full power to oom-
plsinant to Lot as he had don es, there was the I
foot In evidence before them, of defendant's admitting
the whole of the charge to complainant, and asking
forgiveness I-11r. Day: After that remark, I must call
the other man to disprove complainant's evidence.—
The "other man" was then called but did not answer,
neither had any one emu him in the court that day
although summoned by defendant himself ; a policeman
we sent in seareb of him, as it appeared he was with
defendant and Mr. Day in the inorning.—lti the
interview, the ease of Crab • Hall Was beard, at the
coneulthe of which, the ebairman called on Mr. Day to
proceed with his case, who replied that the "other man'
was not yet come, and suggest, that his client (defendant)
had better go in seen* of him.—The Chairman however
preferred to retain defendant in court for the present,
it all events, and on enquiring if anything
was known of defendant previously, as be
fancied he had some recollection of him,
it turned out on referrenee •to the "book" that
he had been convicted of • similar offence in February
last, and find 10a, and coots,—Mr. Day still contended
there were no grounds for oonvictioe, whilst the Chair-
man considered that if a convictions did not mune upon
such evidence as that gives by complainant, the Act
in question would he rendered totally null and void,—
In reply to the Cheirman, oomplianant said he did not
press the case against defendant, only to prevent both
him and others from trespassing for the same purpose
on his farm—as there bad been too much in that way
done on his farm already to please him. —The Bench
after reviewing the whole case observed that it was not
their practice to visit ouch oases as the present with the
1 severity they met with in some other mule of the
' county; they considered it right to impose* flee of 110..
' which with 0.. 6s. costa made a total of El 9a 64., and
which If not paid within 14 days, defendant would be
pint to prison for 14 days with hard labour —Defendant
applied for his ferret and nets; the Banat thought by
complainant retaining them for • while, it would be
keeping defendant out of the way of temptation, how-
ever, no doubt all that would he amicably settled
; between complainant and Mx. Day on defendant's
behalf.

Tabitha Cribb applied to the Bench for an order on
Alfred Paul, to ooibute towards the eupport of her
female Illegitimate child, of which the said Alfred
was the father, for, although he did not think proper
" face it out with her in court to.day, yet he had
many a time proatieed to marry her, had give. her aunt
6d. two days after the child was born, and also lrel for
• Ilb of sugar, and Id. for biseniM for "pep" for little
Triennia as be wished his daughter to be &Adorned.
AU this and a good deal more Tabitha said Alfred had
both mid and done in her and her aunt's premise, and
on telling her aunt, she most fully corroborate I all that
had been deposed to. The Bench evidently satiallsd
on the matter, granted an order on defendant for Is. 64.
per week and the usual expenses on the accorscliement.
