SHRUBS ON Till ESPLANADZ. Mr. Coincillar
Nangle has commenced his promising experiment, and
placed four large shrubs, or small trees, on the
Esplaoade on Saturday, opposite Gloucester Row.
The trees are of the enonymus and laurel kinds, and
are well rooted in very large eqoare green bogs., move-
able on wheels, and stand about eight or nine feet
Being very healthy, and with good foliage,
they afford a most agreeable change on the Esplanade,
and we hope to see Mr. Nangle's practical hint very
largely taken and carried out IT the Town C .nncil,
who may thus remove the accuration against Wey-
moat —that, whilst its Bey, Sands, and Esplanade,
are each excellent, a little relief is wanted for the eyes
of those used to green woody. An additional improve-
ment was made in a few awnings for the Erphanade
chairs, which were so quickly appreciated as to show
that the public want more of them. At one time a
most pleasant4°olring party of young people were
gathered undi r an awning, and with the trees on
either side, formed • charming piiture, which one
would like to see repeated, with variations, all down
the Front.
BOROUGH Pirrrr SEBBIONS, Tuesday.—Before Dr.
Drew,J. Milledge, Esq., and J. Landis, Req., William
Ford v. Henry Dibben, and Dibben v. Ford were
cross summonses for assault—Ford said that Dibben
wanted to settle the matter ; but as he was &landlord,
the Bench would not sllow the case to be dissmiseed,
unless Diblr..n appeared. Atl,i he was therefore sent to
fetch him--On their re-appe.aranc Ford stated that
last Thursday he called at Dibben's to have • glass of
beer, at the Edinburgh Hotel, and found the lanilord
drunk. Another person served him; but Dibben
charged him with still owing for some beer, and after
they bad had some words about it, struck him in the eye
without provocation. It was quite true that three
years ago last May he had 2s. worth of been; bet that
he paid for.—Thy parties then changed places before the
Court, and Dibben stated that on Fillay, August sth,
Fordcame to his house.—Onenquiry, astothsdiffarence
of dates, For I find protested he wasn't in Weymouth
on Friday; but, after reference, he gave in.—Dibben
continued that Ford came to his house, and his
(Dibben'a) niece served him ; but Ford was using rough
bngoage, when he told him that he hadn't been there
for three years, and had better "stop in," when Ford
refused. "shoved" his fist in his lulu, and tried to fight
him—Ford here interrupted, said it Was all wrong, gni
he wanted the case adjourned, for Dibben knew he was
wrong, and had given him ha f-s-goversign to make it
up.—l)ibben admitted givig the half-sovereign, bat
said it was only because he did not wish to come before
the maglstratee—Both cases were dismissed, each to
pay a shilling for the summons; but Ford wanted
another half-sovereign for his day's work--Daniel
Dicker, a smell boy, who said he was empoyed by
" Newport," was summoned by a buy nam.d Hobert
Nunn, bigger than he. for as tault.—ls. nun raid he was
going into a house in Belvidere, when Dicker, who was
riding on trucks, got off and struck him.—lt seemed
there had been a squabble about a lady's dog, which
Nunn picked up. when Dicker took it away, and on
this Nunn toll him to go home to his mother in the
Union. Next time they met D:oßer struck Nunn
again. He was told the dog was none of his, so ha had
no right to quarrel about it with Noon—Hued is. ao.I
coste.—The little boy tooted down bal fm-sovereign with
such an air that the Magistrates Clerk ',eked him bow
much Mr. Newport paid him as errand boy.
