The Rev. Can J. GLYx mentioned that he had
resolved an order eettifying for the establishment of an
hided:tied school in this county. Tbe order same on the
28th February, and allowed them 51. for each ski sent
! there, whereas the orders issued after the first of March
allowed only 3s. 6d. Ile referred to the Aot ZJ and 30th
Victoria, showing the Mass of girls that small be .tt
to this school, and expreeeed • hope that it would be
found of great vale. in the county, and would help to
diminish the rates, and prevent 'onus girls from falling
Into Grime.
Mr. PLIYDIL-ILASIL said the school was established
at Poole through tbe munificence of Mr. Glyn, who bad
presented to the county a very ineellent house formerly
belonging to one of the merchant princes of Poole, and
it was now fitted for the reception of a very large
number of children. As the manager of a Reformatory
for boys, be wee very glad that this school had been
established, and Is. suggested that some other Charitable
gentlemen should establish au industrial school for boys.
For be found • great many boys were sent to his school
who ought not to be, and they were prevented from
obtaining employment, or entering the navy on aisoount
of baring upon them U.. bread of crime.
The Cumulus expressed the pleasure fell by magis-
trates at the estabisliment of such excellent Institu-
tions, and suggested that magistrates should study the
statute and make use of it.

SUMO!' TtIND.
Mr. FLIQUILAJZON referred to the £lOOO ordered by
the last Sessioni to be paid over for the purpose of
liquidating the debt on the Asylum building. 11 Wei
Oct an oversight of the committee that it we. not Inc..
tinned in the repott, hesatue a /ordain pontos, of it had
been applied in the way directed. but the Western
lasuranoe Satiety would only accept £llOO, taking it up
In instalments of £4OO at • tints.
Mr. PLOT= said that wiles an order of the Court
was not carried out, be thought It should be reported
to the Court. £lOOO wee ordered to be applied to the
reduction of the debt, arid the diversion of the money
from the object intended by the Conte was to the &menet
of ow, ana this it was proposed to hand over to the
Comity yea& However, be dared say the Court would
agree to the diversion,although it wee rather at variants
with the order.

The Court then agreed to devotr the £2OO to the
County Fluid.
The CHAIRMAN said this wee the end of the business,
ass he ems happy to lawn limn that to•worrow a
second Court would not be regeired.
The magistrates %boa Bewailed.

number of vagrants who have applied for relief sad admen.
at the different Union Workhouse, sad that than dm be..,
no ogoind test year a reduction of about 40 percent.; and SS
great improvement hae been effected with bringing tic
