selves; while a few are copyhold under the
Duchy. In regard to these last the actual
authority of the Prince's Council is exceedingly
limited, and it certainly is not such sato warrant
the condemnation visited upon His Royal High-
ness. In the case of private owners, where the
freehold vests in the occupiers they are chiefly
too poor to make any improvements, while the
cottages held by others were purchased as
financial investments, and there is no question of
sentiment in the matter. If they will let well in
their existing state, good, bad, or indifferent,
landlords are not likely to expend the rents
received upon them; but, if they are unfit for
human habitation, speakers should not incon-
siderately blame the Prince of Wales, but rather
complain of the inertia of the Local Board of
Health whose duty it is to take cognizance of
such places. This does seem, however, a fitting
time to appeal to His Royal Highness on the
subject of building sites, and the prayer that
they be "lot at ground rents approximating to
the agricultural value" is a consideration of the
highest importance. 'Villas, as Mr. Gregory
observed, require a fair extent of ground about
them, and it is of the first importance to the
working classes; that their houses should have so
much garden attached as will enable them to
grow the vegetables their families require, and
afford that recreation and employment to them-
selves and their children which is alike health-
ful and gratifying. But that this may be
effected with a rental that is within the 'nears
of working men without their being under the
hateful necessity, as Mr. Miles lamented, of
making their house a barracks by taking lodgers,
the ground rent must be low. Four pounds an
acre is the utmost that should be charged for
the land on which cottages for the working
classes are erected. At such a ground rent a
quarter of an acre might be allotted to each, and
plain convenient houses, containing six room,
built of concrete, which, let at 101. a year, would
pay a good percentage to the landlord. Several
schemes of this character have been prepared,
but the impossibility of obtaining land for
building has prevented their realization. We
trust, however, that the alterations about to be
made in Fordington Field will render land
available not only for villas, but for cottages
with suitable gardens, and that the good time
may colter when every working man in Derchte-
ter, instead of being pestered with lodgers, shall
realise the proud boast that "an Englishman's
hituae is his castle," where he alone is lord, for
we feel sure that the providing of such homes
will tend above all things else to their comfort
and to the general well-being of the emenntunity.
The maintenance of Poundbury as a recreation
ground, and the preservation of Maumbury
Rings for its archmological interest, are also
objecta of importance to the town, and such as
may properly be represented to the Prince of
Wales; but with regard to the question of large
or small farina, raised out of doors if not at the
meeting, in connection with the 'wilding re-lett-
ing of Fordington Field, it is a subject on which
so much difference of opinion exists in the
abstract, and depending so largely on circum-
stances, that few are competent to discuss it.
Besides, the fact of the inhabitants of Dorchester
having if any but a very shadowy title (as the
common opinion goes as to the rights of Royalty)
to offer any expression of their views on the
subject, might provoke resentment of any but
the mildest declaration as an impertinence. At
the same time we cannot but regret that the
forthcoming changes should involve the ousting
of tenants who have for years made there a
respectable livelihood, and we can only hope
that they may elsewhere obtain equally good
or better accommodation.
The Isle of Wight seems hardly able to contain
its greatness this summer. The Queen, the

The Council of the Church Association have
prepared a memorial, which has already received
a large number of signatures, praying her
Majesty not to sanction the proposed changes
in ritual which would legalise the use of some
distinctive dross in anmuustering the Holy Com-
munion and legalise also the eastward position.
The memorialists point out that the proposed
clang.; are avowedly coupled by many who
contend for them with sacredotal functions on
the part id the clergyman repugnant to the
liturgy of the Established Church, which knows
nothing of a priest being engaged in offering a
propitiatory sacrifice for the remission of the
sins of the people, or of a priest being engaged
in an act of ntinistry before the Lord in the
presence and behalf of the people, but only
recognises a teinister leading and joining in the
devotions of the congregation.
The Public Worship Bill is not likely to
become a dead letter. Already we hear of

Ritualists, and it is of local iuterest to note that

with ',Waling a little silver basket, the property of Mr. B.
Graseby. .

---Preee.Cutor said prisoner had been in his service until
within the last few weeks as nursemaid, since :7th March.
During that time they missed lota of trailing articles, and
a little silver basket, which was amongst bits of old china
a., on • shelf in his parlour. Its intrinsic worth
might be 25., but he valued it highly because it had been
his wife's from the time she was a little girl They had
hail • charwoman and a needlewoman at work there, and
he didn't know what to think of it. Ile made inquiries
and gave information to Supt Coward, making hint •
sketch of the missing trinket. lied he suspected this
girl had taken it, ho should not have gone into it ashe had
done.
Mr. George Pouncy sail some months ago —he thought
In May—the little basket was purchased by him from
Alice Godwin. She said Sergeant Gulliver's vs-dement her

she didn't know. He 'sent her back to ask, and she
returned and said lie was Ito give what he thought it WAS

Alice Godwin, after being questioned by the Town
Clerk on her knowledge of the responsibility of

Whilst she was at timothy's prisor.er showed her the little
basket, said it was her mother's, and asked her to sell it.
She took it to Mr. Pouncy a, Mary Ann staying at the
window. She said Mrs. Gulliver sent her, and he told her
to go and ask how much she wanted for it. She didn't do
that, but she and Mary Ann went up the street together.
Going back the said he was to give what he thought it
worth : she didn't say Mrs. Gulliver said so. Ile gave her
a Anima, which she gave to Mary Ann Gulliver ; and
Mary Ann bought two sixpenny watches at Tuttell's toy
shop, and gave her one.
The Town Clerk reminded the girl that iihe haul acted a

they had lost many little things, and she told a lot of

Prisoner's father is a staff-sergeant of the Dorset

The Mayor said the magistrates did not wish to send
one so young to prison, but would give her another chance.
She had not only stolen this article, but toll a lie about
It, She must find one surety in LSO for her good behaviour
for two years, or in default one month's imprisonment.

Mr. Groves stated that on the evening of the 7th July
he was there watching the boiling going on, in order that
