OLD Oresense —Sarah Wilkins WM brought up
again for drunkenness.—Thd Mayo': How is it you
are here, out of gaol only a few days, and here again
so soon? —Defendant shamefully muttered something;
but the Mayor returned: Oh no, you are not destitute,
but when you come out of gaol, you indulge again in
drink. You are as good a woman to work as any, but
will not keep out of gaol. See how many times you
have been here; I em very sorry indeed for you.—P.C.
Kaile proved finding her last tight on the steps of the old
workhouse, and when mined what she was doing there,
she called him a liar, and declared she was not drunk.
—There had been over • dozen conviction', and
prisoner offered to go into the workhouse.—Dr. Drew
thought the authorities of the workhouse might give
the WIXOM 901118 little poet, Or not treat her exactly
as a pauper, as the worked very well when kept from
drink.—She was taken away to go into tbe union.
Taming° " Li•sons" Bzoolgo.—Bobert Lake and
George Smith, the former an elderly man with deeply
lined face, the latter middle-aged and full-faced, were
brought up on Monday, at the Borough Police-court,
for begging. —P.C. Bartlett saw them In King-street,
West Parade, and George-street, going front howle to
house, one carving • pair of boots and offering to sell
them, the Ether sometimes watching while the first
weot in, and eometimes they went in together. At
the Prince Albert they went in, but could not sell their
boote, and then they risked for coppers. In St. Thomas-
street, Smith (the full-faced one) stopped • young
man, and begged of him.—Smith here contradicted
the constable, saying that he was 100 yards off, and
couldn't hear what he said; but our detective replied
he was only • few yards off.—Mr. Leworne, landlord
of the Prince Albert, spoke to prisoners offering the
boots for sale, and when they could not get any Wog, they
asked for nippers to get a bed.—Mr. Knight., of the
Jersey Hotel, also ocirrobarated.—A young person,
I servant at Mrs. Betts's, of Biel& Howe, gave
evidence of Smith coming to the house, and asking for
help for • poor man out of employment. When
se•rched, Ild. in coppere was found on tirnith,and 3fid.
on the other inan.—Lake admitted trying to sell the
boots, but denied begging. Smith said they were
031111001 Out of work, and they heard there
were some of their trade here and at Portland,
and they tried to get help from them. The coppers
ware given them by men of their own trade, accord-
ing to their custom.—The Mabistrittes thought what
they had said was confirmatory of the charge, and
sentenced them to 14 days' hard labour.
FORTONIPTSLLDIG BEGGAR.. —On Saturday, at the
_ . .

Borough Petty deadens, before the Mayo.!: (R. N.
Howard, Esq.), Dr. orew, J. MiHedge, Esq., J.
Robertson, Req., T. Abbott, Esq., and .L i Robes',
Esq., Mary Davis, • youngish woman, with a baby in
her arms, Ives brought up for ber,ging last Thursday.—
A servant girl, named Sarah Lewis, said the women
bof h r at 13, Dorset-plaos, told her she had •
lucky eye, eye, and offered to tell her fortune i but she could
not do it without gold. Witness let her have 21. 4d,
which she promised to return, but did not do so. Mrs.
Harris, with whom the witness lived, gave her 2s. to
belp her home. Priam/et sail her husband was a
soldier, and had been dead about seven months —To
begging, prisoner pleaded guilty, and Supt. Vickery
mid sbe had just come out of prison for two months,
and was drunk and fighting at her lodgings last night,
sad she had also stated that she had two children down
with the senolipoz.—ln answer to prisoner, the witness
said the prisoner had begun to tall her fortune ; but the
mistress came and stopped It—Two months' bard
labour—Martha Lambell, who had • baby in arms,
and a child led by her hand, was brought up for •
similar °Hants.—Supt. Victory said this woman had
the children, and she lent them to the other.—The
same witness was called, but she could not prove that
prisoner begged; she was in company with the other.
—Her cam was adjourned for a week, to let her go out
of town.--Sbe stated she bad come here to look for her
husband, but was now satisfied he was not here.
Teas/mess or LIOINSCI. —The following licenses
were transferred at the special sessions on Toes lay
last :—Railway Hotel, James Furmedge to Samuel
Stark; Bird-in-Hand, Edward Hart toJohn Dow3ing ;
Dolphin Inn, Jane Ricketta to S. J. W. Martin', Globe
Inn, Esetatzezet, W. R. W. Weston to William Player,
late of Dorchester, now of Gloucestershire; New Inn,
John 1/owning to Alexander Miller Sharp (one month);
Victoria Hotel, Edwin Dunn t, C. J. Dring ; Turk's
Head. Charles Geteall to Henry Strange.—An applica-
tion was made for transfer of the licence of the Nothe
from Henri Strange to William Moo !y.
There was a delay in passing this transfer, as the
superintendent of police had not received an answer
with respect to his enquiries.—Dr. Drew understood
them were put before the magistrates se all right; but
the Mayor had said the superintenient ought to be
satisfied with ereryone.—The Mayor said it was
always the practice for the superintendent to cettify
in every case.—Dr. Drew bid every confidence in Mr.
Arden that he would not put them before the meets-
tratee to be signed, Unite' they were ready.—The
Mayor explained Mr. Butt was under the impression
that the superintendent of police had so certified.—
Mr. Vickery said he had written about William
'Moody. but bed not received an answer yet —Mr.
Robertson said it °mild not be too publicly known that
thesetransfere are mare than a were matter of form; the
Isurgistrates are determined to look into each, and have
enquiry into the applicant's character.—Mr. Butt s dd
the 1111[001 had been in the possession of the superin-
tendent for a fortnight.—Deferre4 for a month.
Toe &room—Another good old English institution
has been doomed. At learnt it is regarded as a good
Institution by those who have not been fortunate or
unfortunate enough to exist within it. Our Liberal
Home Secretary has condemned the stocks ma punish-
ment for incorrigible vagrants and habitual drunkards.
There are justices who favour that kind of penalty, and
know from experience-01ot in the stocks, of course,
but from causing others to be placed in them)— that it
almost works wonders. There are hundreds of men
who would prefer • whole month in gaol to a couple of
hours in the stocks; their highly sensitive disproitioos
appreciate fully the quiet retirement of the former,
and correspondingly dislike the Publicity and greater
obtrusiveness of the latter. The laughs and jeers
which a men in the stocks has to encounter have, I am
sorry to say, a more curative effect than the more
courteous words end kindly causal of the best cbeplain
that arse visited prison cells. But the stocks are to
go, and they will anon be seen no more, except in
pictures representative of • bygone p•rind ; ss they
decay, renewal will not take place, and the only public
erection of importance in many villages, save the
church itself, will pass away. The other day • Way-
month magistrate asked the Home Secretary It he
could sentence men to punishment in the stocks, es he
considered it the best of remedies for certain social
disarms. Sir William Harcourt replied that this
mode of dealing with drunkards and vagrants has
became obsolete, and is not to be revived. Thus do
our cherished institutions disappear. I may add that
I do not believe in the report that the gratitude of
the class of ullsn proposed to be benefitted is to find
expression in the presentation to the Home Secretary
of a miniature representation of the instrument, or
even of a semod-hend copy of " Htvlibras," so that
the right hon. gentlemen can occasionally refresh his
memory as to the construction of what Butler calls
the ancient castle I°—North Wats Herald.
A GENTLIDIAVS PllO/11213 TO PAT.-00 Monday,
Pally Hooper, Esq. To Clerk, appeared before e
Borough Magistrates
es, in reference to • long list of
summonses which had been issued for sanitary rates.
—Mr. Hooper said although he had issued 19
summonses, he had none to bring before the Bench
this morning.—Mr. Robertson: It Mows, Mr. Town
Clerk, that the strong arm of the law is available
eoradicom.—Mr. Hooper: We do not always use it,
air, and it may be thought we are • little lax at times;
but when we do use it, we get the rake in. Mr.
Hooper went on that he should like to mention the
care of Mr. Trelawny, of Soothed's, Ville, who had
not paid his rem. He said be was very 1111210 Pa to be
summoned, as the town authorities had not attended
to the road enfolds his house: now they had issued
the summons, but had not been able to serve it, and be
understood the ddendent had now left the town, and
gone to France.—Mr. Board (collector) said Mr.
Trelewneyobj. cted to pay,beceuse the town autboritie s
bad not done what he wanted with reep•ct to the road
in front of his house.—lt wee suggested on the part
of the magistrates that the rummons ought to have
been taken out earlier.—Mr. Ileoper : We thought we
were dealing with • gentlemen.—Mr. Road said Mr.
Trelawney wanted the case to come before the magis-
trates; but he (the collector) told him it was not •
proper cam for them. If the defendant got the
nommen' he dared soy he would pay, he said be would,
only he wanted the matter brought publicly forward.
—Mr. Robens: Do you know how the summons can
reach him ?—Mr. Board: By post, I auppose, sir.—
Mr. Hopkins: Try and communicate with hin3.—The
Collector: I think it will be the safest plan, sir.—lt
was stated that the defendant's furniture still remained
In the house.
KING'S STATOIL—The designs for the improvement
of this old "sign "of Weymouth have been exhibited
at the Council Chamber. They are not so numerous
as we might have expected, numbering about half-s-
-dozen. One is very modest, being mainly confined to
reduction of the present "too, too solid " chest-of-
drawers pediment, modernising the inscription, and
adding some scrolls by way of buttresses, while the
"King "Is alone in his glory; this one is the nearest
approach to the style of the present erection, and its
adoption might " save" a good deal of the old material.
The most attractive is • coloured painting. represent.
ing the King without his books and shield. on •
pediment of agreeable design and moderate, over his
heed • canopy supported on four pillars and terminat-
ing in • pointed centre. The joke in this four-poster
design is that you can't tell whether the artist means
George 111, Oliver Cromwell, or the" Royal Matti r,"
Charles, for he appears in what looks like trunk-hose,
or jack-boots, or something else uncanny about the
legs. On the other hand, it may be said the look of
the King without his surroundings is that of & kind of
cross between • Bishop and • Sergeant-at-Mice. One
design saves the surroundings, but lowers the Statue,
and puts it in an arahed racer, with • garden in front
and behind, and • drinking fountain on each side. It
has been objected that this looks too much like a mural
monument; but whit's • King without his law books
and paraphernalia? Almost might were call Carlyle's
" naked luke of Windiestraw addressing • naked
House of Lords." So we heard a gentleman of taste
incline to the moral arch. Japan or China seems to
contribute • sensational batch of euggestlons. Here
the lion and unicorn are mounted on lofty pillars, and
the King and his surrounding higher still, and
apparently on giant springs. The Weymouth ship of

If we are to have tuitional proeparity, we must have the
national honouring of Gad. How wonderful the Mange
which has come over England in this respect during the
last few years I It is very wonderful to see bow la the
Royal speeches—the speeches from the Terene—there is
just one mention made of Almighty God, and there is an
end ; and wonderful to see among those ruling us men wbo
have not the fear of God before their eyes. To talk about
governing without God is to talk folly. If the religion of
Christ—and not the world's Christianity—be • Rood thing
whereby to regulate our homes, our children, and out
servants, it Is a good thing to regulate the nation; let us
ask God to give us Christian legislators to govern our
country. I seen that David made as good • sovereign as
ever sat upon a torome, and he was an intensely pious
man; I wot that be had men of like spirit around him as
counsellors, and his realm was well governed. And we
shall be goverued well when we have more Christianity
In our Legislature.
Da not let us lose the lesson for ourselves, the text
says-- Neither say they in their hearts, let us now fear
the Lord." The secret of prosperity of the soul, the secret
of prosperity of the person and the family is tbe fear of
God, what is true of nations is true of individuals;
personal sin keeps away the blessing; pereorial holiness
Mines it down. Now, my brethren, are you Christians!
Is there one predominant fear in your heart, that is, the
fear of Gad! Da you fear Him above all others! Do you
fear to tell • lie, not bemuse men may find it out, but
because God know, Do you fear to sin because 'the
eyes of the Lard are upon you, and those eye., like •
flame of fire, pierce you through and through! Oh I

Young men, when you have the fear of God is your

to take his piece in the world as an earnest. manly
Christian, no ooe is so prepared. no one has such power
