not knew whether that is an srgumait in favour of
Dreamier et menet It. but, at all onsets, It Ls within
an trey &tarn of Weymouth. Then it ham been
pointed oat that Salsbury bet ninny facilities. That
Is perfeetly true, but Dorelaseter also has railway
facilities, sad you can get from Dorchester to the West
of Sentleed, and to almost all other places. Then, sir,
you of entree are aware that there are already barracks
at Dorchester. That, I should say, would form the
nucleus of a proposed military nude, and I am told (I
do not kaew of my own knoeledge) that there is also
pinny of land to be obtained at Dorchester. In feet, I
take it that in the bill which would be introduced into
Parliament, you would take compulsory powers for
pirehasing land, so that there would be no dldlcalty
about that. Therefore, I should say that Dorchester
would be more favourably situated for the purpose than
Salisbury." The deputation from Salisbury in favour
of the military centre mentioned the College property
as available for Wreaks, but 12 sores of it recestly
changed beads for £B,ooo—that would show the Taus
of the only lead simnel, to the horouch. Of course
there wag Lend outside, but there they would lon the
tannery advaanagn of the city. Finally be said
Sallabary Is noe overcrowded owing to the high pan
of lend, aid he hoped a better plate would be found
for the military centre, Mr. Watson ;deeded for the
residents who wanted to he quiet and lead • retired
life that Salisbury should not be chosen and It. unique
character spelled. Its reply, Mr. Cardwell mid he
mild not ocratenanee the Idea that raking any
pleas a military mitre would being shout intemperance
and sal attach any weight to such arguments.
Nto the opinion and desire of the piece,
and to ermine and wishes candidly and fairly ex-
pensed, it le our duty to pay proper eassideration ;
sad therefore year feelings, like the feelings of those
who bays represented the other aide, will, among
way other isensiderations, be borne in mind in deeding
Italian* mem the question; but the desielon, 64 you
have justly sormeted end stated that you extent, will
b• governed the main by the broad public con.
aidaratione that appear to present themselves on the
querns.
