Mr. TREVANIOS reverted to his f rifler grievanc,.
and said be was not of a very sensitive temperament,
but he protested against the obloquy and contempt
which Mr. Wilson had endeavoured ti thr .w ups.
those gentleu.en, for whom he appeared.
Mr. Witsom wishe I to kn w in what way he had
thrown contempt or obl goy upon any gentleman.
Mr. TRIVANION said he would not say he had toed
pantomimic gestures, but he had crrtainly made signs
of derision when he read out the names
Mr. WIWIN : I deny it.. It is utterly fal-e, sir.

Mr. TM/VA/410N proceeile I to soy the question of
morning or evening meetimes had been otto iiiited t,,
be raised in the el, et ion of churchear lens. and the
result of the poll had shown what value the pariah
attached to that.
Mr. ELCOCIL : The results of that poll were brought

The C111•1131AN said they had nothing to do with
either morniiiii or evening meeting'.
Mr TRRVANION said they wanted nothing unfair.
What they asked was the Ilench ebouhl, ii the
exercise of their judicial authority, appoint two over•
seers to represent the country and two for th. tows.

Mr. WILSON asked the magiorrates, before they
made their selection, to take the opinion of their clerk
whether they were not bound by the list preferred by
the overseers.
Mr. RAWLINS at once maid the rnsgierates were net
at all bound in that w iy—they could take any RAMO
there was on the rateibook.
Mr. WILSON: Then n it only do you say, sir, that
an immemorial cuetom can be brok-vithr. ugh, but that
after the untri.tr itee have requested th inhabitants
to take upon themselves the onus of selei:ti,.g •.veneeers„
and they have done so in compliance with that
request yen ignore their selection upon some perannal
question of character'
Nitypggeegr.ar. Nothing whatever hag been said
as to character, it is simply a question of
competency.
Mr. Etcoct : I would ask the bench to remember
that the list submitted comprises not only the names
of ratepayers, but of owners of property in Wimborne.
After a slight c insulation the CHAIRMAN said the
Bench had d-cided to ',elect Mr. Barnes. Mr. Beck,
and Mr. Richards—who wriuld be found • most
valuable assistant in the compilation of the valuation
list—sad Mr. BORGES& : It was only right those out-
side the palish, who contributed largely to the rates,
should have • voice in their management..

-
Mr. WILSON : All I can say y-u have done in the
Cala of Wimborne what you have d.. 1,0 in no other
parish, over-ridden the wishes ~f the ratepayers, and I
ask thee ink to take a note of my objection.
Mr. RAWLINS : The magidratea have done perfeetly
right.
Rev. Cann GLYN : Yn mud not imagine tkw
magistrates expres• any npini ,n in favour in either
morning or evening meetings. They have gone twos
the Ad of Parliament, put and what they consider
the right construction upon it.
