RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

There was a meeting of Convocation on Tuesday.
In the Upper House, the Bishop of Chichester moved
a resolntion to the effect that the further consideration
of the "Essays and Reviews" be postponed until the
snit which has been commenced by the Bishop of Salis-
bury against Dr. Williams, one of the Essayists, has
been heard. The reason alleged for this course was that
two distinguished members of Convocation—the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury aud the Bishop of London—
might be required to consider the work in their judicial
capacity.

WIMBORN g.

At the County Court, held on Wednesday, before
E. Everett, Esq., judge,the chief case of interest was
one very important both to masters and apprentices.
King v. A ',lin —Thin was an action to recover the
sum of £29, balance of 1:15 premium paid by
plaintiff for the apprenticeship of his grandson, who
was in March, 1860, bound to defendant to learn the
art of a draper.—Mr. Parr for plantiff ; Mr.
Freeman for defendant.—lt appeared that defendant
hail discharged 1113 apprentice for misbehaviour, on
the 10th of May last, and had refused to take him
back again. The term was for six years, and
was now claimed for return of premium.— l'he
Judge here threw out a suggestion that a com-
promise of all matters in dispute should take place,
and that Mr. Freeman should consult with his client
Mr. Freeman said defendant was willing to do that
which had been offered before, viz., refund £lO of the
premium, for the sake of peace and without
prejudice. Mr. Parr dissented, and the case pro-
ceeded.—Mr. Freeman then, for defendant, observed
that the conduct of the apprentice was most
incorrigible; he had been treated with the greatest
kindness by his muter and mistress, and he should
be able to show that so fir from the defendant
being called upon to refund, the gross inattention of
the apprentice had entailed losses to the trade
of his master far exceeding the premium
itself.--The Judge: That cannot be gone into to-
day ; it imoit form the subject of future investiga-
tion. The master should have gone before the
magistrates.--Mr. Freeman said that the magistrates
had no summary jurisdiction where the premium
was over i. 25. -Mr. Freeman continued : 1 wil
confioe myself to the two particulars of breach com-
plained of in the present action, viz., that the
master hail not taught and instructed the apprentice,
and not properly fed him. He said it was an
attempt on plaintiff's part to get his
grandson who evidently did not like the
trade, away, and the premium too, It was
clear the apprentice would never get on comfortably.
He cited the cane of " Williams r. (County
Courts Chronicle of „V° minim r, ' showing
that, as the indentures of apprenticeship were still in
operation, no premium could be recovered. He
should show by the evidence of Mr. Aplin. the defen-
dant, that on the very same day on which the boy
was sent away, and within two hours afterwards,
' Mr. Aplin revoked it, and that would be &complete
answer to the action. Mr. Aplin sworn : My
apprentice, Thomas William King, had merely been

WEYMOUTH.

Coaosta's Isqurer.—On Friday an inquest was
held before Giles Symonds, Esq., at the Royal
Oak lon, Radipole, on the body of John lireor-
meek, a book hawker, about 110 years of age. The
evidence was to the effect that John Peters, a mason,
was proceeding from his residents, at Broadwey to
his work at Weymouth, a little before 6 o'clock
that morning. On passing down the footpath be-
tween the railway and the backwater, when near
the railway arch opposite the brick kiln, about a
quarter of a mile from the railway station, his Moen.
tion was first arrested by seeing a man's hat in the
road, and on looking he discovered the body of a
man lying on his face in the mod and one Icind in
the coat pocket. Ile mitel an alaim, and P.e.
McMahon and another constable got the body out,
and conveyed it to the Royal Yak bin. In a purse
in one of the pockets was a ris. piece and three
farthings. —Mr. Frederick William Futurd pur-
chased the first number of a Look of the deceased
about ten o'clock on Friday evening, but deceased
would not receive the money till he took the second
number.—He was not then any the worse for drink.
—About half-past eleven Mr. Solomon Sly was stand-
ing opposite Lis door when deceased came along and
asked for a glass of gill. Ile was &mai and im-
mediately left, and went aerobe the road to the
Half-Moon, where he remained about a quarter of
an hour, and then proceeded up Crescent-street.
He was not drunk, and appeared perfectly capable
of taking care of himself. This was the last seen
of him alive, and as there was no evidence before
the jury as to the manner in which the deceased
came into the water, they returned a verdict of
" Found Drowned." The general belief is, that
deceased was proceeding along the footpath by the
backwater. the nearest road to his lodgings at Rath-
, pole and that oil crossing the parapet of the arch,
between the signal wine beside the railroad and
, the backwater, he accidentally fell in. There was a
I bruise on the face, and the probability is that his
1 head struck against the stone work in falling and
stunned him, awl there being high water at the
time, he was unable to save himself. The deceased,
.1
whowas a widower, has left a little girl, 11 years
luld, wholly unprovided for.

The Government liee determined, it appears, to
arm the steamers of the Peninsular and Oriental
Company, and other mail contract packets, so as to
render them fully capable of defence against the
attacks of privateers, in the event of a war with
America. -The Peninsular and Oriental Company
has sent in in consequence a requisition for • non-
enterable amount of ordnance stores. This company
posseriesaboet 50 vessels, and most of them can carry
an armament of ail heavy guns, including. two 40-
pounder Armstrong., with ridea,revolvers, enthuse*,
and boarding pikes for crews of about 150 men and
officers for each ship.

that to bend the plates, a prewiure of 2,00010 s the s 'lmre

testy to the Catholic feelings of the country and

which the policy of the Emperor has always set an
