to the master of the union when the clock% were
delivered, they wire not banded in to be passed by the
board, and consequently had run over two or three
years without payment.-111r. lower who represented
the Board, stated that the guardians were most anxious
to settle sash claims, of which there were several, but
they bad written to the Poor Law Board who refused
the sanction for the Guardian to pay, on the ground
that lb* bills were not presented at the ireoper time.

the Poor Lew Board had no power to grant each pi r•

hearing at this oourt, and nose of them posameed any
public interest. Thomm Button, of Sixpenny Handley,

The bankrupt attributed his faders to want of swillient
capital, badness of trade, and the pressure of one of his
creditors. There being no opposing creditor, the order
of discharge was granted.
Coarcittr.—A concert was given at the Corn Exchange
011 Friday evening last, which eru fully apprissieted by
a very limited audience. By the bye, how is it that
tie inhabitants of Blandford, who profess to be so
musical, fail to support such an entertainment as that
which gave us so much pleasure in listening to on
Friday? The artistes ware Madame Armytage Cooper,
Mr. Alfred Hemming, Mr. H. C. Sanders. and the
youthful pianist. "Minus." (supposed to be only eleven
y.re of age). Ities Cram Armytege was annoaskeed,
but was unfortunately Itias seriously ill at WorumutlL
We were, perhaps, most Mewled with the otiarrning
du ,t of Rossini. "Kira I& bianoa arum" stun
by Madame Cooper and Mr. Hemming, and the,
favourite trio of Barnett "This magic wove scarf,"
w tub were really moat beautifully rendered.
"Miriam" played two very difficult solos In
Leigilach's "Sonnambials" and Solilcmer's " Trovators,''
wbiob proved her to be an assautante of no ordinary
ability—but we would advim her to use the pedals Isis,
and above all things avoid thumping. To Madame
Cooper a word of praise is due, even if only for the way
in which she reodered Wallace's "Sweet Spirit, bear
my prayer," which was fall of pure fecling. and
altogether the most pleasing and satisfactory solo of
the evening.—Mr. Hemming posttest • very sweet tenor
voice, and were he more energeti• would no doubt
become a great favourite. Mr. Sanders sang "Speed oa
my bark," by Lealie,and received groat epplense and we
were sorry he was not encored. We heart* wish them
all the guesses they desire, and hope on • rotors
occasion the musical people of Blandford will Bosh in
larger numbers than they did on Friday evening.
