TOWN COUNCIL.
WIDNISDAY.
There were present at this meeting ;—The Mayor (R.
Aldridge, Req.), Aldermen Buckley, liamilton, Norton,
Ayles, and atyring ; Councillors Barnes, Marston, Dug.
dale, Farmer, Curtis, Blanchard, Budge, Buckley, and
Conway.
The first business was to receive and open the tenders
For taking the markets and fairs, and to declare the
epted tender.
Tbern was only one tender' and that was from Mr.
Gould, who offered £4l les. for one year, or £4O per
year for three years.
. . _ .

On the proposition of Councillor Curtis, seconded by
Alderman Hamilton, tho tender for one year was
accepted.
The Town Clerk reported that he had written to the Law
Tines, asking their opinion relative tu a question raised
at the last meeting—could any member of the Council,
who was not a member of a committee, attend an) such
connuittee meeting in his capacity of Town Councillor,
and give Ws vote upon the business before such corn-
notice? The opinion of the Lary Jaws was quite
adverse to this as tending to defeat the object for which
committees were appointed; in addition to which they
thought no councillor could complain of not having a vote
upon any question dealt with by the committees, as their
reports had always, afterwards, to come before the whole
Conn ci I.

The South-Western Railway are about to build a
new viaduct at itockley, and make certain alterations
at the liainworthy Station, acid the Council were now
asked either to assent or dissent to the proposed work.
—Mr. Budge proposed that the matter be referred to
the Railway Company for their consideration.
This was seconded by Mr. Conway and carried.
The Council also adopted the report of the committee
appointed to act with the Town Clerk in obtaining a
provisional order under the Sea Fisheries Act, lelat,
recoinmending that the order should be confined to the
channels in the harbour, and not to extend to the
whole harbour.

A report was also received from the Watch Com-
mittee intimating they did nut think there was any
necessity fur an addition to the police force, and
recut tttttt mding that the tioveruluent Inspector should
be reminded the force had within the last few years
been increased by two constables, and this was pro-
portionate to the growth of the population.
This was also agreed to, and concluded the business.
THE LAST GENERAL ELECTION.

At the County-court on Monday lest, a case w as
partly beard, before Mr. &desalt Tindal-Atkinron,
which has created c .neiderable interest in the borough
for some time prat It was an action brought by Mr.
A. K. Harris, draper, of the High-street. against Dr.
E. P. l'hilpits, surgeon of Poole and Bournemo ith,
ft the sum of £9 10.. 8. for goedi alleged to h ire
been supplied to his order .luring the 1 rst general
election. The items .1 the aceount were as follows :
six dozen rosettes, £1 16.,; twenty-four fis4e, £2 Bi.;
and twenty-six flags, £5 6-. It will be remembered
that some months ago Mr. Harris brought an action
in L nidon against Mr. Charles Waring, the unsriccere-
ful candidate at the I.st election, for some £ll2 for
articles supplied to his agents of which this claim
formid one of the items. Nr. Waring, however,
successfully c wooded it, and judgment icie give
against Mr. diarri...n the gr rund thrt he cold not
show an authoris-d sonny, at the mune time Mr.
Baron Pell .ck. who trial the case expressed the
opinion " th .t no doubt the geode had'beeti bed, and he
hoped s me people would be found in the pleasant
little town of Pl-to pry what was fair and reason-
able for them." Failing in that direction Mr. Harris
now intends to sue the different parties by whose
authority a. he states these goods were supplied, and
this is the first crse.
Mr. F. Tearer. (Conservative), was for the ['Wolff( ;
Mr. H. T. Trevenion (Li/retai). for the defendant.
The Mayor (R. Aldridge, Esq.,) and • nimber of the
chief inhabitants of the town were present in Court,
and the prov,elings, which were of • lively nature,
evideully excite.' much interest.
Mr. Travers, in opining the case, stated the fac•s we
have given above, and said they had pursued their
Present course rather than take the matter ti a superier
court, Is they looked upon it as • test case, and a c in.
sidershle amount of expense would be saved. He had
selected this one, which was rather a small one, but
the same principles were involved in all.
The learned judge hereupos remarked upon the late-
ness of the hour—about three—and intimated that he
should not sit after five. He understood there were •
large number of witnes.es.
Mr. Trevranon said it had been adjourned more than
once, and they were most anxious ts meet it. He
could quite understand that commencing of what pro-
mised to be • long case at that hour if the day made
one's mind • little impatient—he did not except even
the judge—but, at the same time, it would be most
unfortunate if it were adjourned until the February
Court,
His Honour: I supposes neither of the partial are
likely to become bankrupt in the meantime. (Laugh-
ter.)
Mr. Prayer,: They are both gentlemen of old
standing in the town.
His Honour : And, lib lawyers, living on the most
bony and friendly relations. (Looter.) Mr. Trevanion: 0h,,. never quarrel, your Honour;
it'seur clients that quarrel.
His Honour: Well, how long will it led.

Mr. Trevanion said he should cress-examine the
plaintiff as to what took place in the superior c nue.
' Further, he would show the plaint,lT had alreedy b 'eu
paid. (Plaintiff laughed derisively, and sad that was
all humbug.")
Mr. T rrrrrr said the fact was, when Mr Waring
repudiated the debt he, knowing that the plaintiff bait
been put to heavy expertise, kindly came forward and
gave him £6O towards them, but he made an express
eciti:aelation that not one penny was to go towards the

a packman, and he filled his ha with rosettes two or
thiee times a day. B tweed Jenkins had soms good,

bill was -eat is, blisu e he did not wish Mr. Waiiiiir
to understand that be had been having goods at his
expense. Stone and King were members of the
Liberal Association. He also himself was • member.
They did not tell him he was not t supply any colours,
in fact they cull not do oithi.ut him. With refer-
ence to the abominable suits stipplisil to Scott, witness
.aid he hat previoudy seen Dr Philp ds, and tdd
him the net would he about Be. or 9s. a suit, and be
said—" Oh,let them have them." Scott wa. ths chief of
about 36 bill -stickers, and at previous electi ins he had
let him have goods, and ha I been paid for them. The
payment made to thst man accordint to the return
made to the Sheriff's ()Meer wa. £36; but he believed
if he were there he would tell t '*em it was nearer £lOO.
His Honour said he was quite at a loss to under.

Hi. Honour, ire case that never ought to have come
Int ;re this okiurt. because small boroughs will be on
their trial before I ing, and cases like this will have a
very injurious effect. I tried to avoid its being tried.
but I failed.
Witness continued Dr. Philpots did not say to him,
" D you, I'il have nothing to do with it.' On the
o' her hand he actually gave away ribbons in the ebop
with his own hind; the thief bill•sticker also dressed himself so a detective in a great coat of his, and he bad
never seen it from that day to this. (Sineh laughter.)
Hs afterwards threaten,, he would put the matter into
the hoods of a Conservative lawyer. [A bill was here
put in, in which the plaintiff had an item for "gods
supplied to John King and John fit-ne to their order.)
IL did not charge them to Dr. Philoote, because he
had told him he wash. look to Mr. Waring for pay-
ment. Dr. Philpots p.ll 9.. 61. for some goods he had.
Mr. Trevanion : And, I believe, I paid for what I
had. I paid for mine in advance, did I not?

His Honour: Lawyers don't generally do that.
(Laughter.)
Witness continued he sent Dr. Phi'pots a time-
ruins& flag, and he wr..te back asking Mrs. Harris to
accept his best thanks for her kind present, which
should duly appear outeide his house on Tuesday, and
he welcomed it,, the winning cJiours, (Mush laugh'

On the 7th of June you wrote to Mr. Waring, °e
rather to Mr. King, his agent, calling his attention to
your having delivered these g)odri, and threstening
that unless you reosived payment, you should pot the
matter in a Conservative lawyer's hands ?—Well, it
would have been no use putting it into your hands,
would it? (Laughter.)
And you also said, "I have samigoed my business
three whole weeks for the good of the Liberal pa. and unless the account is paid, I shall add s es" more for goods had at the close of the poll." Id'

Waring, as a fact, gars you £l6 ?—Yes, toward' we

His Honour: It might have been this person having
I given his good. towards the election. Mr. Waring gensrously gays him ego rather than he should "ger

Sir. Trevanion : He paid him double what be
