FALSE PRETENCES.

At the Boough Police Court on Tuesday, before the
Mayer,
er, G. E. Eliot, Eiq , Dr. Drew, and W. Talbot, Esq.,
• I named Sa Logo, belonging to Poole, was charged
with obtaining by false pretences two psirs of boots, the
property of Miss Noble, St, Thomas-strut.
The prosecutrix said on Monday afternoon the prisoner
came to her shop and asked if she allowed boots to go out
for trial. Witness replied that she did. Prisoner then
stated she wanted the boots for a Miss Scott, of t, Park-
street, as she wealth the habit of dealing with her. She then
let prisoner have two pairs of boots of the value of ls
and 7s. 11d. She said she would return shortly. Witness
did not know Miss Scott, but thought she might have been
a visitor or • lodger, as she was in the habit of sending
out to such people. She had sent boots to No. 4, Park-
street, a Mrs. Chalker, living there, who kept a lodging-
house. Witness waited for the boots about a couple of
hours, and finding prisoner did not come back, she went
to Mrs. Chalker an i made enquiries. She found Ike
Chalker knew nothing at all about the boots or the
prisoner.
Lucy Scott said she knew prisoner, and had slept with
her once, but when bet brother heard of it he would not
allow her to do so again, and she was now living with him
at N. 4, Oakley-pe. She did not authorise prisoner
to obtain the boots for her. On Monday afternoon she
saw her on the sands with • new pair of boots, and she
told her a gentleman had given them to her.
Mary Curtis, landlady of the Baltic, proved that the
prisoner and the last witness slept at her house on Sunday.
They said they were visitors from Boornemouth. On
Monday prisoner come back alone, and witness asked her
for the money to pay for her bed. She said she had not
any, but she bad • lair of boots upstairs. Witness
told her that would not do, and she then left. Witness
afterwards found one new par and an old pair of boots.
which she gave to P.C. Bartlett.
P.C. Stickland proved apprehending prisoner. She was
wearing one of the pairs of boota She said ono pair was for
her and one for her friend, Miss Scott, who had gone away
to London. She said they would be paid for.
The Mayor said there seemed to be some little doubt
about the case, and the Bench decided to give her the
benefit of it. She had, however, run a very near chance of
being sent to prison. She would now be dismissed.
Supt. Vickery said he was going to Poole. and promised
to Ulu the girl with him.

GROSS CRUELTY TO A HORSE.

At the Borough Police Court, on Saturday (before Dr.

the bores in the waggon, with the defendant who was in
charge of it. Basing the animal was in • very poor con-
ditlim, he examined it and found several wounds on
different parts of the body. It appeared to be suffering
from the mange, and wan evidently in great pain.
P.C. Harmford said he saw the defendant, about 10 days
ago in Mr. Meech's shop, and he then cautioned him

.C.J. D ,of Weymouth, veterinary surgeon.
said he had exam ed the horm.and considered this to be •
very bad case of cruelty. It could not possibly do work
will:mut wafering great pain. There was an extensive
wound on the crest, three or four inches in length undr
the saddle-pad, 000 on the off shoulder, under the collar,
one on the croup, and a deep cut on Um knee, from the
hone having apparently fallen down. The wound had
been covered over with some black composition to prevent
its being seen. The horse altogether was in • very low
and emaciated condition. In proof of its general weak-
ness, there WM an extensive discharge of matter from the
one. The horse, besides general debility, was suffering
very badly from the mange.
The defendant pleaded ignorance. His son saddled the
home that morning. He knew nothing about horses, and
did not know the animal was so bed.
The Beech said that was no excuSe, and fined him 401.

THE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT RISCA.

Mr Llewellyn, manager of the colliery, was down the
pit on Sunday for about 8 hours, and penetrated with
his exploring party a considerable distance further than
had hitherto been reached. Their pro4ress was then
stopped by an accumulation of gas. Efforts are now
being ma :e to increase the means of ventilation. It is
not considered that, as in the case of Aberearn, there
will be insurmountable difficulties in the way of recover-
ing the remainder of the bodies. No more corpses
have been brought to the top since Sunday afternoon.
The work of recovering the dead is oroce, ding at Itasca,
and down to Monday afternoon 38 Issues bad been
brought to the surface, It has been ascertained that 382
women and children have been deprived of their :neaps of
livelihood by this terrible catastrophe.
Considerable difficulty is found iii penetrating the
workings. Large quantities of debris hare to be brought
to bank in order to clear the way for further progress.
As Tot only 39 bodies have been recovered, the work of
Monday night having only succeeded in clearing a
distance sufficient to reach two more victims to the
explosion -via, Thomas Price, haulier, and John Wynn,
tiroberinan. With Price's body were brought up some
portions of the remains of another collier, who was not
identified on the preceding day. The coffin in wh ch
these remains bad been placed was unscrewed, and the
detached portions carefully placed alongside the other
remains. One hand had been blown away, and is still
miasing. The furth-r the workmen penetrate the
roadway, the more violent do the effects of the explosion
appear. A horse was found with two or three leas blown
completely a
ietel, away, scarcely anything hut the head and
ons the carcase remaining. Nothing has yet come
light to solve the problem as to how the explosion
occurred. Fears are, however, entertained lest the air
will not be found sufAcient to cleer off the foul Dees that
are continually exhaling and thereby rendering the
safety of life in the pit more uncertain. There are 81
still below, and unless these can soon be discovered,
deoomposition will aid in rendering identity difficult, if
not impossible. The section of the colliery in which the
greater portion of the bodies Ile is not yet known.
Down to Monday evening the Lord Mayor of London
had received close upon ,Ll,OOO at the Mansion House in
aid of the fund now being raised for the relief of the 78

SIXTY PERSONS POISONED AT A SALE.

fanner. Not only the nople who cured the ham, and those
who itehl the sandwiches, but indeveni'eut witnesses,
testified in their fitetor. Moreover, inse.tisation
showed that many permits had eaten them, or
the ham from which they were cut, with impunity.

Good Tempters and temperance societies. The
members met at the Good Templars' Lodge-room at
9.30, and after being marshalled by Mr. J. Btanifield,
and headed by the Puddletown Brass Band (under
Bandmaster Grover), paraded the streets of both
villages, stopping at the residences of the principal
inhabitants. The twocession, which nuothered over
100. was very gay with fl .gi and banners, one with the
words " Piddletrenthide l'emperance Rocietiee and
Band of Hope, estaldished Ha," being especially
noticeable. On retuning to the Lo Ige room, luncheon
was laid, over which Bro. T. Holmwood, D.C.T.
(Weymouth), presided, and of which upwards of 50
partook. At the close a vote of thanks was proposed
to Bro. Efolmwood, in vply to which the District
Chief Templar remarked on the progress temperance
principles were making throughout the country, and
also in the House of Commons, instancing the Local
Option resolution accepted by the House a short time
ago. Referring to the closing of public-houses on
Sundays in Wales he drew attrition to the fact that
the M.P. for Bridport was the only member who
pressed for a division against it. Led by the eipit ii
band the members shortly after made their way
to the field and grounds which hail been kindly
lent for the occasion by G. Topp, Esq., and where
a variety of amusements had been provided. While
the juveniles were enjoying the game., an I the
visitors and friends a stroll through the beautiful
grounds of Bouthcombe Park, the worthy hon.
secretary and others were herl a work in preparing
the tea for the Band of Hope children, numbering
about 80, and who thoroughly enjoyed it. The public
tea was delightfully laid under the shadow ii • large
tree, the attendance being so numerous that some were
obliged to wait for the second relay—altogether about
150 sat down, and the tea and excellent arrangements
gave general satisfaction. The meal over, the com-
mittee offered prizes for running, &c., hut the other
amusements proved so attractive they were unable to
obtain competitors, except for • Swiss clock, which

A QUIRT GROWL
To ate Editor.

81r,—As 'rule I have no 'empathy with grumblers :bat
there are occasions when a dog will bark " in 'pit* of his
teeth; and if I were the only growler in Wareham
perhaps you would not—although I am not quit* sure
that yeu will—permit me to utter it through the medium
of your widely-read, and, as I know, thoroughly indepen-
dent cslumni. The (tiler day, thanks to the liberality of
a gentleman whose name I need not mention, there was
a grand fete in this good but rather faded (faded at least
In the matter of trade) old town, for the pleasure of the
school children of Wareham, in which the inhabitants
generally were allowed to participate. The local band
exerted their musical abilities to the utmost, and tbe
young people of both sexes were indulging lathe hope of
enjoying • dance upon the greensward, when, as if by a
given signal, they were suddenly deserted by "the blowers
of the blatant blast," and for the rest of the evening their
performances were speciaUy and exclusively devoted to
the attention of certain hotel and shopkeepers of the
place, ladies and gentlemen of course, no others being for
• moment allowed to enter the mystic, or, rather, magg
ring. Now I ask, sir, could anyone, in an assemblage Uke
that, and taking into consideration the liberality of the
donor of the fete, who intended it for all, regardlese of
wealth, politics, or religion, be so aeldah I As might have
been expected, this sudden and unexpected state of the
festive affairs created a feeling, to say the leest, otherwise
than favourable towards thaw who took upon themselves
the exclusive services of the band, whose performances
were paid with • view to the general enjoyment I was
waiting to see, sir. if this general feeling of dissatisfaction
at such an insulVtig proceeding would be noticed in the
local P•Per• but possibly growlers, like certain angels,
fear to rush into print. At all events I trust you will
accept this particular growl as • slight but earnest instal.

THE ORDER OF GOOD TEMPLAR&

On Toesday next and succeeding days there will be held .
at Cardiff the yearly meeting of delegates for the various
branches of the abovesnamed Order, grouped in some 40
Grand Lodge jurisdictions, located in all the divisions of
the civilised world. Reprimentstives from • number of
foreign Grand Lodges have arrived in this country to
attend the session, which is the 25th enrol d meeting of the
R.ght Worthy Grand Lodge of the World. The meetings
are being anticipated with much intorest in the Order—
especially as it is almost certain the meeting next year
will take place in America. The representatives are
chosen by the various Grand Lodes* according to the
number of members under their care. The Grand Lodge
of En,lntid sends seven. Sc Mend five, Wal.si five, and
Ireland two. Besides these, other delegates will repre-
sent in thy Grand Lodges in America, Anstraliuda,
Ass The greatoet interest will attach to what has ben
known at the "creed question," which has grown out of
a memorial received last yetr from a native lodge in
India, asking for certain alte-ations of ritual, such as the
omission of the name of Christ from the prayers, pirmit-
lion to place the Vedas and Aber sacred books of the
native religionists beside the Bible in the lodge room,
and to have altered a question put to every person before
initiation to read, "Will you be obedient to the rule. of
the Order they not conflicting with your duties as •
Theist," instead of as now, as • eitiz oi and a Christian.
A debate of several hour,' duration took place at Wit
session in Liverpool, on the report of • committee pro-
posing to alter the question to road "your duties to God
and man," while refusing the other points in the me moriaL
It was ultimately resolved that the subject matter of the
memorial was opposed to the fundamental principles of
the Order, and could not be entertained. Much discus-
sion has since taken place in the Order relative to this
decision, and also on a notice of motion ler the spproscb-
ing meeting declaring the didn't! of Christ to be a
fundamental principle of the Order. A very strong feel-
ing prevails in England against the latter motion, and in
favour of the sweated alteration of the question put to
candidates. But in Scotland the Order is unanimous in
holding just the contrary view. The delegates of the two
Grand Lodges are therefore instructed by their constis
tuents in opposite direction', and the final result of the
discussion which will take plane ni xt week is looked for
with great anxiety, as toe Grand L idge of Scotland
intimate that it wiU have to consider the propriety of
entirely separating from the other divisions of the Order
should the proposed change be agreed te. On the other
hand a larga section of the Order in England, in India,
and elsewhere appear determined to persevere until the
change is made, so that no shade of creed test shall appeer
in an Order which announces Its-If aa world wido.
