a good deal of chaff ensued, and Mr. Bennett, feeling a
blow on his bead when his back was turned, knocked
down the prisoner. They parted and prosecutor after-
wards found he had been stabbed with a knife, and his
arm was bound up by • shepberd's wife. Prisoner had
stated that be did not intend to stab the prosecutor, he
had a kaife in his band as he was onto( an apple, and
the prosecutor was accidentally stabbed. But this could
not be true,as the first blow was felt by prosecutor on the
back of his head, and there was afterwards found • slight
cot with • knife.

was on hi, way (men Weymouth to Alton, when prisoner
oaertook them and said We Cbartninuer chaps are not
Tory particular what we do," and persecutor returned
don's suppose you be, and I don't suppose
some of the country chaps are." This was
repeated, and prosecutor said ' Look here' mate; I don't
want to quarrel with you as I have about eight miles to
walk on the Shoehorn. rosd." He felt a blow on the back
of the head, and turned and knocked prieoner down
twice, and the last time he lay • short time, but got up
and followed him, swearing. pros:cutor turned back on
Mm, and he stopped. Prosecutor and his father went on,
and sometime after be found his arm bleeding, and at the
shepherd's house, the wound was dressed. On the Ilth
he consulted Dr. hfcEnery.
Prosecutor's coat was preinced with (cur outs in It. and
Me shirt, with one, and Bennett said his finger had had
no feeling in it ever since.
Mr. Udal defended, and cross-examined prosecutor as
to why he did not return from W. yinouth by the six
reciteo .a. ale. Whom (Iv, sot to Dereheeter, they went to
the Cattle but the landlord did not refuse to let them
have more drink because they were drunk. Did not

He knocked planner down three times; but did not see
any knife, or feel any stab.
Prosecutor', father corroborated, and said hi, son had
difficulty in getting home, as he was so weak from lose of
blood.

By Mr. Udal : The wound may hive been produced by

serious.. . .

--Y.-J.—Adsms apprehended prisoner, who said he wee in
the row; he wits eating en apple, with • knife in his
hand, and struck prosecutor; but be .114 not know be
struck him with the knife. The knife ha took out and

voluntarily, and gave up the knife. Only one cut in the
ooat goes through the lining.
Sept Batty, on the l3rd of October, rived prisoner
Into his custody, when he stated that as be was going on
the Charminster road, near the County School. • man was
laid in the hedge, and sprang out and attacked him.
Prisoner continued he was eating an apple at the tirue,
and might have struck the 'rpm in self-defence.
Mr. Lock said the counsel for the prisoner bad male
against the prosecutor • very serious charge of drunken-
ness. Was it not his duty in that can.., to have called the
railway officials and the Isndl ,rd of the Castle to show
prisoner was drunk. Dot instead of supporting t.y evidence
the charge he had the audacity to make, be had not even
asked the prisoner, in crass,xarninatloo, any questions to
rapport the charge.
Hr. tidal said it was quite true he might hare called
the railway officials or the landlord of the Castle; but his
client was • poor man, not having the funds of the county
at his back, and it would have been quite useless for him
to ask the prisoner's father: whether his Don was drunk.
The defence he set up was the defuse., made by the pris-
Mier from the first. The wound in the prosecutor's head
was slight, very sl,ght, an I was not such • wound as any
one who wu villain eurugh to come behind a man, and
Mrike him in the back of the bead, would inflict. He
mud that the prooscut ir, with all this fighting going on,
did not see the knife. The wound, being in the underpart
of the arm, was a most unlikely wound to be wilfully
inflicted; it looked rather as if the other fellow was
standing over prisoner thrashing him, and he got • cut,
but the prisoner did not intend to stab.
111 r. E. Hiles, builder, of Charminster, said prisoner had
a most exemplary character; he had been working for
witness four year,; be was steady, industrious, hard-
work tig, and sober, and assisted his *Scud father ; it
seemed to him quite impossible he could be guilty of what
he was charged with.
Mr. E. Perham also gave prisoner an excellent charac-
ter.
The Chairman, in summing up, could not sea how they
could admit the truth of the defuses, vie, that the wound
was awidsetally inflicted, at least, if the, estesidesed the

The dinner was splendidly laid, and the tables
presented a very (wet), appearance. Mr. Cook. is
renowned for good caterMr, melon the present occa.en
he fully sustained his prealifre.
The chair was occupied by the gallant cemmaie'er

Lieut. Andrews (4th D.V.A , Portletel). Mr. Pelly

cleared,
The CHAIRMAN 1,110 and said : —The first toted wh:ch
he ha I the pleasure of proposing was one which hal
been spoken ef • . often that it left hut very little for
him to say in regard to it. It was one how ver, ohich
he had great pleasure in propteing, and on occiution like
the present it wan one which he wan sure weuld he
received will acclimation on all hat:rls. For eel.
sovereign's sake and for the hermitic*n of our country,
our brothers in scarlet were engaged in more than
quarter of the irf..be. They had, he wa• mire, always
doue their duty in the past; they were doing it now,
he was stare: and be was equally certain thy would
do it in the future. It was however, t.. be h .ped 11, it

her, so she would now, if wisely and riAtly governe

extremely glad that on this occasion it was curt- m
to propose the toast of ministers .4 other denomina-

showe I that the feeling that formerly existed towards
their Nonc ,nfermist brethrtn was fast passing away.
It was a very goed sign that, whi!e still adhering to
their own di.tintt principle., they could yet inch ode

particular season the army introduced itself t i them.
Its lett must be too fresh in the minds of everyone
not to know that the army was now, although small, a
east and glorious institution in this country. The
deeds of our soldiers in Afghanistan and the deeds of
oir soldiers in India must but hi known to be
admlr.d, and they must net only be admit ed ii. thin
.untry, 1-ut be the admiration of every c n
the continent. (Applause.) They had been told in
the past that their army was but few in number. ;
granted. lie t )ok It that in other countriee the army
was chosen from the muses of the people' here tie
army remains the masses of the people. It wanted
but the patriotic voice of duty to call every man to the
front. (Applause.) It was not only known in
England but also known to the vast c eatinental cities
which paused such large armies at the present day,
that they had the bone and they hail the pluck; for
they heard from the rep ,rts .-f the commanding
offi ere that the young soldiers were qu to equal
in all rupee*n to their older brethren. They
were not degenerating, as had often been said, and the
deeds of the artily in tho present day niust add lu.tre
to the nation, an add lustre to the I•urele won by
young soldier* in the places which he ha I referred to,
and proved they were following in the footsteps of the
good old selifiere gone before. (Applause.) With
regard to the navy, of that they must be particularly
pem.l. It was looked upon as the boast of the
country, and well it might be. To look at o r vast
eleips of war at the present day, anti looking at the
large number of men whieh our c .untry was able to
afford to bring together to defend oer ehoree, it was
semething marvellous. l'he navy mut be ll.e.kod
upon with admiration and respect, and he hoped the
day was far distant when they would be celled tus.n
to drain the h et resources of the country in war; h it
he MILS lime that when the time came the re would be
those men who would respond heartily and cheerfully
to the call. Referring to the reserve f rces, tie y
were, he said, the backbone of the army. lie Was
himself one of the first volunteers in the country, and
he did his best to do his duty so longtime he reuminel in
the position. Lie must say that the formula then gone
through, was one of the greatest possible means for the
, safety and security of the country. They bad soldiers,
ready-made, as it were, lying by, and composed of the
very beet material men who brought intelligence to
hear with their arms, and that was the great thing.
(Loud applause.) With the toast he couple I the name
of Captain Harmer for the army ; Maj r f
the militia; and Lieut. Andrews for the Reserve
Forces.

Captain and Adjutant HAMM, who first replied.
said he was much obliged to Mr. Nangle for ompliet:
hie name with the toast, and also to the convene for
si warmly receiving it. He confessed be was rather
out of his element in that pada n : be wuld much
rathsr meet them on parade. (l.smaiter.) The gsilsur
captain then proceeded to give some excellent advice
and strongly impressed upon them the value .;
discipline. His remarks were warmly reenivear sad
evidently appreciated.

Major Gottor, in response, said be believed the
militia to be an efficient force, In proportion to their
training; and he felt certain they would be SS reedy
in the future for home or foreign gwrison duty as they
were during the lite...bin War *no the Indian Mutiny.
(Applenee.) He again thanked them for c endiug his
name with the toast ef the force with which he had
been connected for about 30 years. (Applauee.)
Lieut. At:peewit was g ad to be able to state VIA
the volunteer force was in an efficient state. No
doubt they were all aware th ir numbers had been
t
reduced from 250.000 to 200.000, but hat WAS no fault
of their own. The War Office thought fit to do so,
au,' no doubt they ha I good re-son to do it. lie fully
