It gives us extreme pleaeure (and we are sure every
man in Weymouth the same) to hear of the continued
good progress of our beloved Member. His appear-
ance in the midst of the turmoil of a contest, should
there be one, even if it is on crutches, will be hailed
with delight, and more particularly by members of his
party, for his coining amongst them at such a time,
and so soon after his terrible trial, will afford ample
proof of what vain* he sets on the confidence which
they had for so long reposed in him. Even if he
should not be able to come, his friend., we are sure,
will take the will for the deed, and wish him heartily
a speedy recovery.

We can't afford, Mr. Curtis, to spend nearly L7OO
on the Rodwell-road, with dread phantoms of drainage
schemes, bridge schemes, and winter garden schemes,
hovering around us. The rattspayere will be sorely
tried without that. It is, as Mr. Dennis remarked,
too little oompensation for so great an expense, and it
must stand over one did. However, Mr. Curtis
deserves praise for bringing it forward, almost hopeless
as it is, for it would be a decided improvement; but it
is quite certain it can't be done at present.

WIRING FOR THE TELEGRAM.

The chances of a Conservative power here are as far,
if not farther, remote than they ever were, and any
one present at the political speeches made on Saturday
afternoon needed no further evidence toconvinoe them
of the fact. Charles Nicholas Weston, the
Conservative candidate, arrived at Bridport on
Thursday, heralded by martial music, the Mare of
trumpets and disoordant voices, and elevated upon •
triumphal car, supported by his solicitor, and a warm
partisan of the Tory cause, was alternately cheered and
raved at by a rabble boiling ever with curiosity and
excitement; all this augur• sure success no doubt, in
the minds of those short-sighted ones who forgot it was
but an excitement of the hour, and the one in whose
honour all this display was Awninged, wining in as the
roaring lion, would go out as the bleating lamb. Of
course such an ostentatious get-up it was well known
would gratify the curiosity of a public, at this period
of electoral stir. True that en roods to the town cries
of "Was-ton for aver" went up, but they were as
plums in • pauper pudding—few and far between—
and the candidate, who had doubtlessly been assured
of easy success by the Conservative Association, felt
somewhat uneasy as the vociferous cheers "for
Ralli " drowned the efforts of the minority, as they
" tainted " the atmosphere in the vicinity of the
"triumphal car." Somehow the candidate looked as
if he were presuming to wear an undeserved dignity,
as one going about to cozen favour without the stamp
of merit; however, that may be an individual opinion
or it may not. At any rate I fancy the candidate must
have considered his reception rather to, warm, in fact,
hot.

This was an action between Thomas llorlocli Bastard
and others, trustees of the Blandford an I Poole Turnpike
Trust, against Adam Williams and John Williams his
brother. and Abraham Green, to recover • balance of rent
for tolls.
_ .

.Mr. Templeton opened the pleadings, and was
followed by Yr. Charles, who explained that on June 13,
1877, plaintiffs granted a lease for one year to Kr. Adam
Williams of the tolls, and with ILL A. Williams werejoined
Mr. J4tin Williams. his brother, and Mr. Abraham Green
the rent was £3Oll The rent was paid up to the last three
months., and it wag not discovered until May. 1879, that
the rent waste arrears, and thereupon the solicitor for the
teuitsee anialied for payment of the arrears. and ulti.
mate', • writ was issued Abraham Green did not appear,
and it was found he had no assets. Adam Williams did
appear, and judgment was signed against him; but
nothing was got out of him, and ultimately the Litton was
brought against John Williams. The first defence was
that Adam Williams had paid it, secondly that the
trustees gave time for payment, further that the trustees
had another remedy under the Turnpike Act, which they
did not use, and therefore they had no right to apply to the
surety. The defendant pleaded that the trustees cught to
have let him know within seven days that it was not paid,
and. not to have let it run on for some months.

Mr. SClttrlttl. not wishing to be hasty in the matter,

representation of the laity as well as the clergy.

ILBDOTIIBURY.
THI ABBOTSBURY RAILWAY.
To ad Editor.

Sir.—l am glad the shareholders of the Abbotsbary
Railway have at last bad • meeting to protest against the
misleading statements of the directors and seem .
I, for one. have been treated in a similar way.
months ago I wrote to your paper in the hope that others
would likewise state their opinion. When solicited to
take shares I was informed by Mr. Manfield that the
money with the interest would be returned if the capital
required 11111 not forthconein& for without it their could
not start the Una. Also the expanses of getting the Ad
through Parliament wire paid by • few wealthy ones.
Shareholder. in his letter of last week's, quotas the Act
of Parliament about the station at Drowsy. It would have
been more to the credit of the directors to have put it in
the prospactue, for there it is stated that the Has will join
the Great Western Railway near to the station at Dimity,
and on that understandiag I became a shareholder.
The eminear. in his Forint. dated December 3rd, 1879,
says—" The janctian with the Weymouth Roe has been
Vivedby the Crest Western Company.' If the Gran
srotanicompelled them to put their junction at Broad-
way what hays they to approval Mr. Manila& I ant
sure, is very free when he guarantees to pay every penny
over the CIO. I am glad to hear it, but if I am not mistaken
he has not paid • penny for his shares, but has taken
them in land. If correct I should like to know what the
directors allowed him for the same. I think it • great
shame that /1300 shoukl be granted to the directors. It
would have been better grass if the proposition had come
from others, and not from those living at Abbotsbury. As
the meeting there was no doubt composed of Lord
liebester's tenants they had, as • matter of coons, to vote
for it. They could not have thought of his lordship's
services, for at the meeting bald at Weymouth be was
found fault with for not taking more interest in the
undertaking. As for Mr. Manliald saying that the capital
represented at Abbotsburr and neighbourhood was at
least three times se much as in Dorchester I should like
to know how man shares—leaving Lord Dnimeter and his
own family ou are at Abbotabury ; for in Abbots'
bury and Parts:sham I fancy his great number will come
short of • hundred names.
If the directors hays broken the Act of Parliament •
committee ought to be formed amongst the shareliolders,
sad so arrange what steps should be taken in order to call
the directors and secretary to account of their steward'
ship.
Lastly, I should be thankful U may shareholdi will
