Tug NeW—Fivitn— —lios—errAL—After all the foolish
opposition that has been raised to the scheme for the
establishment of • suitable home for the reception of
persona suffering from fever, apart from the Dispensary,
the advocates for such an institution have at last pre-
vailed and the money that had been raised by subscription
to the amount of several hundred pounds. will now be
devoted to its legitimate object, and building operations
will be forthwith commenced. The only draw, but
nevertheless a serious one, has beeu the unwillingness of
several parties to admit that such a disease maim, is ever
to be found here, and the same old cry of "it will injure
the town has been rife. As Bournemouth is ono of the
most healthy towns in England it is resorted to by persons
suffering from every kind of ailment, and it is not only
natural to suppose that some few MIMI of fever may
found, but it is a fact, and therefore the necessity for
such an institution is undeniable. As to injuring the
town that is an absurd theory, for the site selected is an
Isolated one in the neighbourhood of &wombs on the
open heath high above the town, and to provide for the
wants of the suffering cannot be said to detract from any
town were it even more maser than is Bournemouth.

• well-dressed young woman, named Jane Lumley. was
apprehended bare on • warrant on Thursday, for stealing
£ll6 from her master, at Ashby. last month. EVI in gold
was found upon her, and she admitted the charge. She
was handed over to the police authorities of the district
In which the robbery was committed.
At the ordinary ratting of the County Court, held on
ttrod.c.asy last, T. Martin, of Boomeineutit was ordered
to pay 10a and costs, the damages for a trespass committed
on the beach at Bournemouth, on the 20th of August last
It was proved that the defendant applied to the Bourne-
mouth Commissioners for leave to sell intoxicating
liquors on that day, and they, as Nabors of the beach.
refused the application. In defiance of this the defendant
was proved to have sold excisable liquors there.—A
similar case against Frederick Henry Ball was heard for
trespassing on the beach, proved by his refusing to pay
the nominal toll of Is to the Counitiseioners'
He was fined ss. and costs It is said that these cases will
go to a superior court, as the defendant,' deny the title of
Sir George Genrill to let the beach to the Bournemouth
Connuisaioners.

The annual dinner took place in the Town-hall in the
evening, and was a success except in the particular that
it was as is the society—poorly patronised by any gentle-
gentlemen of Liberal news, for it must be known that the
society is somewhat of a clique of one ptrty.

libilmesbury presided, sapportal by a number of influential
local gentlemen.
