Mr. East, Rui-e Officer, Poole, appeared in support
of the information, and Hr. H. T. Trevanion for the
defendant —The same amount of finest in the previous
case was imposed. (hy, carter. was charged
with riling without reins on the 27th October, and

South Norwood Park, Surrey, gentleman, was
summoned by the Bournemouth Commissioners for
having commenced to lay out and construct a new
street without first giving notice in writing and deposit-
ing a plan and sections with the local authority. —Mr. J.
Druitt. jun., Clerk to the Commiseioners, appeared in
support of the information (Hr. Robert Druitt taking
his-place as Magistrates' Clark in tile meantime), and
Mr?. H. W. Dickinson, Town Clerk of Poole, for the
defendant. —The action related to the roadway which
ii being laid out between the Christchurch-road and
Gervis-roade_at the back of the new block of buildings
called the Regent's-terrace.—lt was contended that
this wu a street within the meaning of the Public
Health Act, 1875.-517. Dickinson. however, con-
tended that it was a private road. There were no
houses on either wide. The whole road was private
property, and there was no intention to erect houses
along it. It was simply a private road to the resi-
dence, known as The Firs. and he thought that such
an unwarrantable interference with private property
wal newer contemplated by the Act.—The cue wee
erwaed at great length ; but the Bench ultimately
decided that there had b-en an offence committed and
imposed a penalty of Li and costs. They thought
that it was a matter of very great importance, both to
the public authorities and to private owners.—Mr.
Dickinson asked them to grant a cue for a superior
court, to which the Bench immediately assented.

A NOVEL OBJECTION.

Coneiderable difficulty has teen experienoed of late
in ne•ting gentlemen to serve as jutora in the City, and
on Wednesday, at an inquest held by the city coroner,
the following letter was put in as a plea for non-
attendance :—" Ildersgate.street.—W.,—l beg that
yon will excuse my attendance at an inquest on which
I am swam med to appear before you on the 2nd inst.
on reliiiiollll grounds. Being a descendant of Aaron
the High Priest, I am forbidden by my religion being
in the presence of a dead body otherwise than my
nearest kindred." There being several gentlemen on
the jury of the Jewish perauseion, the Coroner asked
if it were trait that the writer of tbe letter was pro-
hibited from performing this public duty, 1 he
asserted, and their unanimous teply was in the
negative. In reply to • question the Coroner's offic,r
said the absentee state I that what he had w.itten in
his letter to the Coroner was the law of the land.—A
Hebrew juror : But we have no land, therefore it is
impossible for it to be what the writ .1. has described as
the law of the land. We are a scattered people. If
the objector s a priest and a descendant of Aaron, he
would be precluded Iron serving, but his name shows
that he is not. -The Coronsr thanked the juror for the

c rpital repeat pr .vidsd for th en, under the direction
of ?dr. W. Trump, of the Cross Keys Inn, Brldport,
officers' messman at the last Volunteer Camp. It
were needless to say that after a hot and dusty march
and sharp drill the dinner was thoroughly enjoyed
by both officers and privates. and the welcome viands
were don, thorough justice to. After dinner several
1741 'oasts were heartily drunk, under the presidency
of Captain Whethsm. The men fell out eta quarter
tr four, and at five o'clock the bugle for home sounded,
and shortly after the return march commenced. The
Channonth Artillery led out of the town, the bands
of each company playing alt-roately. The Charmouth
corps retur..ed after oncoming the "A" Company a
s'iort distance, and the latter reached home at 7.30,
marching to the Ball Hotel, where the tams were again
refreshed, and then dismissed.

THE CENSUS.

We have received a return of the Came sub-
district, which ahows a oonsiderable decrease in the
population in nearly all the parishes, arising, it is
thought, chiefly from the great depression in agricul•
tare, many less labourers and servants being employed,
also from the fact that many families have emigrated
to the North of England from the district within the
last ten years.

DICATH OF THE Ray. H. RAWLINSON. After a
tedious and painful malady, the rector of Symondsbury
expired at the rectory on Friday evening about seven
o'clock. The deceased gentleman left the curacy of
Chideock in July 1839, for Symonclsbury—thus he has
been associated with this pariah for nearly 49 years.
He entered as curate under the late Rev. Greg .ry
Raymond, then rectur, and on the death ,•I the rector
he was appointed in his plans. The Rev. G. Raymond,
who was much beloved by his parishioners, died on
February, 1863, so that the deceased gentleman has
been rector for 18 years. A brother of the demised is
Sir Christopher Rawlinson, knighted by Her M .josty,
and holding a few years since a prominent civil
position in India. Mr. Rawlinson will be long
remembered for the great and laettog interest he took
In the building of the parish schools and the church of
St. Peter, Eype, in the Symondsbury parish. T e
schools were a charity of Mr. Raymond. but not being
erected during his lifetime, Mr. Rawlinson saw the
work carried out, awl, as we state above, ever took a
great interest in their object and work. The dammed
has for many months suffered acutely from an affoction
of the liver, kr., and has been attendocl by Dr.
Denziloe, of Bridport, and an Exeter physician. A
fire at the rectory a few weeks a4o, mentioned in this
poper, no doubt mere or less accelerated the death of
Mr. Rawlinson, for he was slightly injured whilst
attempting to put out the fire, and being in a wealc
condition, the effect of the shock on the syst-m was at
that time alarming. On Saturday, when the news of
Mr. Itawlinson's decease became known, many
tradesmen of Bridport showed marks uf respect at
their places of business. It is stated, but not yet
authentias,ly. that the Rev. Fa Fox. of Askerswell,
will succeed to the livin4, which is &rich one, amount-
ing to nearly £l,OOO per annum. Mr. Rawlinson was
69 yaws of age.

ON Thursday, April 7th, a service of song was giveas
in the Workman's Hall, entitled "Desire of all
Nations." The connotive readings were given by
Mr. Panchen. The hall was well tilled. The singing
was very good, and much credit wag due to
those who had taken the pains to get up the service.
ENTERTAINIIENT.—Our friends, the Independants,
seems inclined to keep up their series of entertain-
ments, as we notice they have a the and public meet-
ing, singing, &c., on Good Friday, and a service of
song the following We Inesday, entitled " Christie's
Old Organ." We also notice that the Wesleyan'. at

hope this fine weather will continue, so that pleasure

A PUZZLE FOR THE DOCTORS'.

A most extraordinary natural itscident, and one for the
discuseinn of physicians, came to lights few days ago, in
which • needle taken in the foot of a lady nine yaws ago
worked out of the thigh of her child, a baby of one year.
The lady in question is the wife of Mr. Ha-ry Ira.s,
citarmaker, who lives in Market-otret, nett Wenzel. At
the time of the accident Mrs. Isaacs we. uninarriel, and
was then Miss Piullu Cohlens. The needle was
encountered in • carpet, and penetrated her foot the full
length. A physician was called in immedietely, hut the
needle could not be found, although it was known to be in
the foot. She suffered great pain, and for four mouths
WAS unable to leave her bed. During that period
three physicians made frequent attempt, to extract the
needle, and the knife was used ex onosively, hut without
succ •41. Mies Colbetes wu quite fleshy before the accident,
but fell off greatly from her I nt confinement. At length
she was able to tet about with the aid of crutches, but she
continue/ to suffer from the needle. The p tin decreased
gradually from the tune she wee able to get about, an
ISO regained her former fleshiness. Foul,' she felt
the needle onle at periods when there wan a change
in weather. The movement of the needle seemed to
be upward, and the pint was not stationary, but moved
with the needle. About five year. ago she was married
to Kr. Harry Isaacs. Three children are the fruit of that
union, the youngeat of which is a boy named Arthur, who
Ls about • year old. The pain which troubled the mother
left her even before the birth et her child, and the t
disappearance of the pain she wee wont to feel was the
subject of remark and pleasure to her. On Monday week
her baby, who had siting Ito birth manifested a kindly dis-
position, warn very verities% and cried out unceasingly el
night. The cause of the child's ailment warn not discovered
until the following morning, when, in giving it • bath, the
mo•her discovered something black mounding through the
akin of the child's thigh. She caught hold of it, and was
frightened when she found it a resisting substance. She,
however, used a little force, and soon extracted the dark
object. Imagine her surprise when she found it wee •
needle, black and corroded. The *ye brake off in her hand
while examining it. The recollection of the needle, whi it
hid caused her so much pain, came vividly before the
mother, and felt keenly for her caild. The remembrance
of her relief from the pain also forced Ault upon the
I mother, and the oonneetion of the two served as a chose
to how the needle got tube in the child's thigh. The
mother mays it would be almost impossible for the child to
have taken up the needle without her finding it out, as
the child Would have made known in piteous cries salt did
when the needle worked out.—Loasievilk Courier Journal.

SHAMEFUL ATTEMPT TO UPSET A TRAIN.

Some rascals it appears have a spite against the
Portland railway, which on Sunday night wee shown
in a way that might have sacrificed the lives of persons
who could not have been obnoxioue to the cowardly
perpetrat-ir of an attempt to uset the train. On
Saturday the door of the workmen', lent which stands
near Sand,foot Cantle WAS smashed by being really
literally stoned till it gave way, and not content with
this some meal, actually placed a worn sleeper on the
'ails. About 8.40 ii.in, ass coastguardsman named
Savage wan patr fling weir the line where it run,
through the cutting on the Weymouth side of the
Ferry-bridgi. he noticed a sleeper lying across the two
lines of metals. This be at once removed, and had
just turned round and resumed the wa k on bis beat,
when the 8.45 train fr me Weymouth curie down, a
train which on Sunday night is always very fulL It
was not a new sleeper which was put on the rail., hut
one reduced by wear to such an extent that it might
not have been knocked off by the guard iron, but have
got under the wheel and caused a serious catastrophe.
On Mon lay morninr, one of the gangers found a
" quarmi -jack " (a quarter-milepoett) had been pulled
from its socket, and was lying by the side of the line.
Those repeat° I acts seem to show a deliberate and
determinml intention to do mischief, and we believe
that stuipieion has fallen on parties supposed to be
the wrongedcers.
