GROSS CASE OV Cat atry TO ENIXALE—At the Public
()Mee, on Tuesday, before Captain Bourne and Mr. If.
Smallwood, • young man named Henry DOW, of Side-
moor, near Bronisgrove, nailer' was summoned for ill-
treating and torturing • bullock, the property of William
Lainb.—George Laugher said thaton the 16t4 April he
was poising through a held in the occupation of Mr.
Lamb, which adjoins the Kidderminster Road. He saw
several bullocks in the field, and defendant was throwing
at them. H. saw him stand out of the footpath and
throw at one which was not above four yards away, with
• stone, which struck it in the eye. There were other
youths lying on the grass, near defendant, but he dld
not see them throw.—Mr. Lamb said it had quite de-
stroyed the sight of the eye, and he also informed the
Bench that he had suataineu damage to no less an amount
than 1:70 through such people as defendant throwing at
and otherwise ultreatu3g his cattle in that field within
the last twelve months.—Upon inguirieg of the police,
the Bench were informed that defendant was an incorn•
pole stone thrower, and that only last week they had
allowed a case to be withdrawn, in which be had wantonly
thrown at and injured an old man.—Defendant was
sentenced to three weeks imprisonment, with hard
labour. • -• •

Local. BOARD.—At the usual monthly meeting, held
at the Town Hall on Wednesday night, present—Mr.
Jeffries (chairman), and Messrs. Brewster, Parry, Lamb,
Hold, Blore, Batten, and King—the recently appointed
Medical Officer of Health, )Jr. Davenport, gave in his
first report. He had had no case of epidemical or in.
tedious disease under hie care during the last month,
and the other medical gentlemen in the town bad re-
ported to him to the same effect. He thought the old
sewer would be a cause of disease in the dry, hot weather,
as there were many drains and closets still connected
with it, and there was no means of flushing except by
surface water. As notice has been to all inch parties.
the Surveyor was instructed to look them up, and see
that the connections with the new sewer were made at
once, and if it was not done to report to the Board.—Dr.
Davenport said that at some future meeting he should
sell the attention of the Board to tne water supply, as he
knew of many cases in which the supply was altogether
inadequate, principally to the poorer cottages in the
town. The officer was requested to make written report
for the future of all matters coming under his notice,
which he promised to do. A letter was received from
the Local Government Board, stating that the Treasury
would pay one-half of the salary of the Medical Officer
of Health.—Some correspondence was read between the
Clerk of the Board and Mr. Lea, the Clerk of the County
Local Board, as to the joint appointment of the Inspector
of Nuisances for the two districts, from which it ap-
peared that the country district still adhered to their
last report that they would contribute one-third only of
the salary, and this Board, therefore, decided to proceed
to the appointment of en Inspector of Nuisances for
their own district only, at • salary of £6O per year, and
that they should not require the whole time of the person
appointed. This decisi:n WWI forwarded to the Local
Government Board for their approval. In the meantime
the surveyor, Mr. R. H. Nowell, was appointed inspector
of nuisances for the ensuing month.—lt was decided to
advertise for tenders for repairs to the bank in Worcester
Street, and also to procure an additional water cart,
with • pump affixed, so that it could be filled at any part
of the town; and the surveyor was directed to make
inquiries as to the prices..—A very long discussion took
place as to the covering in of the brook at the top end
of the town, near the path leading to the recreation
grounds, which is generally known as the Black Ditch,
towards the expense of which the owners and occupiers
of the adjoining properties had offered to contribute.
The discussion eesulted in the matter being adjourned
to the next meeting.—Mr. Bailey Denton's report as to
the sewage purification was received ; but as it was so
late in the evening before the subject could be reached,
the Board agreed to hold • special meeting on Wednesday
next to consider the report—The meeting was then
made special, and a general district rate at Hid in the
pound was signed.
