Tux Boxonau EXPICIDITURE. --An abstract of the

net receiuts during the year have been £2,030 IS.. -141.
against £1,970 ros. 10d. expended. The entire cost
of the police (ores during the period has been
£529 12a. 7d., of which one fourth has been refunded
by the treasury, together with £25 13s. Iva. for

Pooie TURN NEL —A special meeting of the trim.
tees of the Poole Turnpike was held at the Loudon
Hotel, on Monday, pursuant to notice. The subjects
discussed were the alcindonment of the reparation of
the roads in and near Poole and Windiorne (which
has been continued for some yearscontrary to the ex-
press provisions of the Turnpike Act) and the erec-
tion of • toll gate near Wimborne. The trustees re-
solved to abandon the reparation of the roads in
Poole, and will not henceforth repair the road nearer
to Poole than the last house on tbs Wimborne raid
in that direction, and the entrance to the Union
House on the Ringwood road. Both the turnpike
gates will henceforth be on the parish roads, and no
person Penang through them from Poole will have
paned 100 yards on the turnpike, and may therefore
it is apprehended refuse the payment of toll. floss
who go through the old turnpike gate will be able to
travel as far as the Fleetn without going on any portion

of a road from which, it would seem, liability to toll
arises. The trustees residing in Poole made three
propositions for placing gates near Wimborne, all of
which we hear were negatived by the votes of the
Wimbonie Trustees. One proposition Was to place
gates at the entrance to the railway station at Wim•
borne across the entrance and across the main road;
another to put up a gate near the Swan Inn, and the
third to put up a gate on the Wimborne side of the
bridge and between the bridge and the entrance to
the railway station.
