moned for disorderly conduct at toe White Stir Coffee-
house on the 4th of February.

t of the house, James Hibbard.
Oberlin Chapman said he was the minuet of the house
for Mr. Htbberd, and the defendant was • irequent
customer. He hot had one ...ion previcei.ly to request hies
to leave on account of his conduct, and on the day in

him out, and • struggle ensued, during which one of the
TISMIS of the door was brokau With the insistence of
two other customers. he WAS Ultimately got outalde.
Juliet Hibiterd sts.ed ootapiaiiqa had been moo, to
him by customers of Mite induct of the defendant.

him. (Liughter.)
The Bench inflictid • floe of £115.., including coati, or
one month's he'd labour. The tact that he WM allowed

THZ LIBERAL AsSOCIATION.—To-night (Friday), at I
the monthly general meeting of the members of this
association, Mr. Dewes-Gilmon, of Litt in Cheney,
Dorset, haa kindly consented to deliver a lecture on one
of the most important subjects of national interest to
Englishmen at the present moment. The chosen 1,
subject, to be followed by a .11ACUMA011, is "Ireland, its!
Grievances and their Remedies. " The lecturer has !
had full opportunities of watching the phases of
Irish life and character, and is excsedingly conversant
with the policy of the Government toward the Irish
people. Mr. Dewes- Gibson is equally popular as aline
essayist and descriptive lecturer, so that the association
has a literary treat awaiting it. A crow. led attendance
of members is expected. .1. P. F. Gundry, Esq.,
president of the association, has kindly ea:mental to
preside. A report of the lecture will appear in the next
Hupremion.
THE " YANEEIO4" again aroused from slumber on
Monday night and early on Tuesday morning, the
inhabitants bad an unpleasant reccollecti..n of the
recent heavy storms imported from America, and felt
convinced they were having a foretaste of .the
"delightful time S' prophexied for the 9th inst. The
fierce wind which during Monday blew from the
South-east increased in intensity, every en-4 carrying
Wee and slates to the pavements with etratling
crashes. Several chimney pots came dawn en mess .
and many cottage chimneys have been dangerously
loosened. To make matters worse, drenching rains
came down at intervals, introducing portions of their
wateryaelves into the chainbers where truant tiles
achnitted free entrance. Some old roofs are well-nigh
stripped, to the discomfort o: the tenants, and the tiles
are strewed unsparingly about the streets. The bay,
as may be expected during a South-east gale, WWI
terribly rough. The sight of the trouliksl waters on
Tuesday morning wee grand in the extrenv,
many visited the Harbour to view and listen to the
wild waves, regardless of the risk of liming their hats,
or being blown away altogether.

under the recent act, for the removal of Edward l'rice
and Mary Tizzanl awl her children from Ik, ,umiimister
to Portaea Union.—The master of the Union at
lb-ammeter, Mr. W. Pearce, proved th term during
which these paupers had been under his care, and
Price and Tiszarl having given stasfs/A ry evidence
,if their nationality, the order was granted. --James
Hodges, living at Channouth, a respectable-looking
driver, was charged with being drunk whilst in charge
of a horos awl carriage in White Hart-street, Beamin-
ster, on the 13th January. Defendant was at that
time employed at the White Hart, but had left in
consequence —P.O. Hook proved the case.--Mr.
Leigh Asks' the man had taken three journeys on
that day in bail weather, and no doubt he had taken a
little too much. Ho had driven him (Mr. Leigh)
many times, and ho knew him to he honest awl sober.

defendant took liberties with her. They had several
sebsequent meetings. A male child was born on
the 16th August 1880, and when the defendant was
acquainted with the fact he said he would see her
alnght.—John Hallett proved seeing the parties
several times—Mr. Day ntended there was no
corroborative evidence, and called the defendant, who
denied improper familiarity. Du behalf of defendant
evidence was given by John Walborn, Mary Smith,
and John Dare, but in spite of all, Dare is happy in
being able to contribute Is. 6d. per week toward the
maintenance of the baby, includhig expenses.—Mr.
Day gave notice of appeal. —A labourer, John
Mayne, was charged with trespassing in pursuit of

Cheriton, Hole Farm, Lyme. --George Chappel, Axmin
star, keeper to Major Cotton, of Lyme stated
that his employer had the right of shooting over this
farm, and, being in • field, he saw defendent "trying'
a hedge. Saw him throw atones into the hedge, but
seeing witness he put a bag hit, his pocket. which
witness fancied contained a ferret. Saw defendant
stop a hole on one side, and then go to the other, as
though in search of rabbits, and saw him drop a net aa
he moved off.—Defendant defended himself by !saying
that Mr. Cheriton employed him to repair his fences,
and he wax working at one of theme when witness saw

instructions not to trap game, and these instructions
he had obeyed.—The bench dismissed the case.

int the garden again. He did not hear her make any
