HARI"; Lnise—Under this bead the Sherborne
Journal of last Thursday says t—" A case wee de-
cided in the Ltorchester County Court last week that
cannot be allowed to remain without further action
or explanation. Mr. Fyfe, the former editor of the
Dorset Chronicle' was sued for £34 7s. Ga. for bone
hire, the debt having been contracted whilst he was
on that paper. He is now editor of another Dor.
cheater pater; and, r. the can Is reported in nOtn
papers, and the facts are essentially the sane in
either, there is no difficulty in coming at the gist of
the action. Mr. Fyfe's answer to the &aim was, the
debt is due, but due by the proprietors—l was the
Editor. In crow-examination he admitted that he
was registered at Somerset House as the proprietor,
and the Judge held that to be conclusive and gave
the verdict easiest bin We poppies there is not •
man in the ttlinty, who took any interest in such a
matter, that did not well know that Mr. Pyre was
only the stalking horse, and that Mr. Herbert
Williams and Mr. Charles Henning " mataged" the
Dorset Chronicle, whilst the late Mr. Charles
l'orcher, of Clyffe, and one or two more, were sup-
posed to have a finger in the pie. Nominally, Mr.
Pyfe wen the proprietor, but his position might have
been at once made clear to the Judge if the question
were raked, whether the "registered proprietor" did
not melee notice; terminating his engagement with
the paper ? Of wares it win be at once seen that it
is the height of folly to lampoon that a an who in
propnetor can be turned out of the ethos and em.
ployment of Editor. It wo 'd be very hard if the
widow lost her claim, and, as the order came from
Mr. Pyle, perhaps it is only right that he should see
her paid but what are the real propriotors of the
Dorset Chro:aiele going to do in the matter? They
cannot let Mr. Pyle be victimised, nor, we suppose,
will Mr. Fyfe himself submit to it. There seems to
have been no serials question that the carriages and
horses were had on the business of the paper, and
unless this is contested we Wall consider this se an
extremely shabby affair. If general rumour was
right, and the proprietors of the Dorset Chronicle
were neither Mts. Harris nor Mrs. Gawp, then Mt.
Herbert Williams and Mr. Kindersley will reimburse
the unfortunate ex-Editor."
EA ItLY ULOOINO AnnOCILTION. —The second lecture
of the series to be hiven during the winter months,
under the auspices of this association, took place last
Thursday evening, at Holy Trinity Infant School-
room, and was well attended. The Re*. J. Fisher
presided. The lecturer was the Rev. E. Headland,
rector of Broadway, and his subject "The life and
Timm of Hugh Latimer, Bishop of Winchester." The
rev. gentleman gave a heart-stirring history of this
simple, mink, bold, and uncompromising English
Reformer—one of the 300 Protertante who suffered
death during the reign of "the bloody Mary."
Latimer was the wn of a Leicestershire yeoman, wen
educated at Cambridge, and subsequently was made
bishop of Worcester I he preached before Edward
VI. and Henry VIII. but persecution arose, and he
retired from his lAbOprio, though he continued to
preach at the Priory, Cambridge. At length he was
cast into the Tower for harry. Afterwards, with
Ridley, he went through a mock disputation at Bk
Mary s, Cambridge, with the principal Romig
bishops, but the result had been previously deter-
mined, and they were both sentenced to be burnt.
Their martyrdom took place on the 16th October,
1555, and when at the stake, Latimer uttered those
memorable and prophetic words, "Be of good cheer,
Master Ridley, we shall this day light such • candle
iii England as, I trust, by God's grew, will never be
put out." In drawing • bee= from latimer's life,
the lecturer remarked that the three propositions
relating to transubstantiation, for
me
denying which
Latimer was burnt to death, set forth
--- name
doctrine as taught by the Ritualists of the present
day. He exhorted them to resist such devices--they
had a pure and reformed church, let them see that
they adorned it and kept it pure. The greatest
interest was manifested throughout the lecture, and
at the close there was loud applause. The musical
a. ..easements of the evening were by Messrs. F. W.
and Boyton Smith, sod afforded much pleasure. Mr.
F. W. Smith commenced the proceedings by • violin
solo, sr:computed by Mr. Boyton Smith and at the
close he favoured the auditors), with another solo with
variations, on the air" Hope told a flattering tale,"
and daring the interval at the middle of the lecture,
Mr. Boyton Smith played a pianoforte solo of his
own comp,oetion, founded on • The Blue BePe of
Scotland.' It is unneoeuery to say that their per-
formances were of the first order of excellence. The
audience vigorously applauded them, and Mr. F. W.
Smith's second solo was encored. The formal votes
of thanks, which usually fotm • disagreeable part of
the proceedings at meetings of this kind, were dis-
with, though we feel sure that noes the lees
red7lBd Iwbo were present appreciate the kindness of
the Rev. E Headland and the Mears. Smith for the
instruction and entertainment they efforded, and the
kindly pressor* of the Rev. .1. Fisher, who appears
to be the Leader in this excellent movement.
