CoLPIINSATION FOR 1.101e014 01 CATTLS 01A0I:111.
The CliolaW4 lAid he thouoht that at the neat
(barter Sessions the Court email have to make arate
to pay the cattle plague expenses, and if they could
setertiin now anything like the sum repaired, the
Chairman of the Cattle Plague Committee would khow
what notice to give for moving that a. special rate of so
much in the C be made for cattle pine° par-
poem. The Court had to 'rod notice to the several
unions of the amount in the fr to be charged no that
oceinitit:
Colonel Col laid before the Court the estimates of
the values of the cattle slaughtered by order df the com-
mittee belonging to the different persons entitled to
rompensation.
/dr. 00000gN nil he thought the committee had done
everything possible to keep (loan the mooning. Re
related how when only 19 cows remained of Mr. Pope's
herd, it was debated whether or not it would be best
Id
slaughter them out of the way. This wee p° •Saturday.
He for one thought they bad better wait till Monday,
and on Colonel Coo assuring thew the cows would be
kept away from all others,
it was agreed to stay till
Monday, but then it was found 11 more were 111. so the
oonunittee ordered the "Laughter of all that remained.
The cattle, before the disease attacked them, formed as
fine •herd unsold beaten. The estimate of their value
was • large sum, yet, he thought, not more than they
were really worth.
The CHAIRMAN remarked there Were certain fort" to
have been gone through, to entitle any one to rm.
pensation.
The CHIEF CORSTABLI said the Clerk of the Peace
had got notes of the proceedings of the rattle plogue
committee from the comuseocement of the outbreak at
Mr. Pope's.
The Cheats of the Peace said •11 had been regularly
done.
Mr. GOODWIN said that two or three of the bride
died, respecting which the committee gave no orders.
but as to the others • cattle Inspector and the appointed
veterinary surgson were consulted.
The CHAIRMAN asked how the amount of compensation
was ascertained.
Colonel Cog said he bad the certificates of the volaerl
in each cow. Mr. Pero's herd wee valued by Mr. Duke
of Broadmayne, and W. et. range.. poreaemer. a poi
former stated the value of the cows to be £2O each, and
the latter gave the same estimate, with £25 for • bull,
and .E 9 for 2 calves.
The CHAIRMAII said the £25 for the bull could not
stand, as £3O was the maximum of their compen-
motion.
Mr. Cooping said the bull was a very fine one, and
was worth £25.
Col. Con rid the original herd numbered 33, but
three animals died before the committee could act.
In answer to • question, Mr. GOoDDILII said of the
whole herd there were woven cows which were pro-
Pounced fit for human food, but at the number was
so very small, and Mr. Pope seld that after seeing the
others of the herd in such a dreadful state with the
disease he could not eat a bit of thous himself, the com-
mittee could not Adair thews to be sold.
Mr. K. WILLIAMS observed that it was said Mr. Pope
at Mit refused to allow hie cattle to be slaughtered. and
also that he did not take proper prersautions. It was
Mora important that the (kill should elicit whether
eursh was the case. If a farmer or any other person
having cattle did not take is the find instance due pre,
caution., and give immediate notice to the authorities,
but on the contrary, when the direr appeared called
it all sorts of statues except the right oho, and refused
to allow the cattle to be slaughtered tall he found the
plague was making great havoc amongst the herd, such
a person, he thought, ought not to be allowed the
amount of compensation persona acted differently
should be allowed.
UT. GOODDRII said Mr. Nash, a person acting Se a
veterinary surgeon, examined the animal.; first taken ill
and Iran it was not the mettle plague, and Mr. Pope had
no reason to think it wee; but when other rows became
ill he celled in further advice end learned the disease was
the nettle plague, and immediately gave imam to the
oommittee, who thereupon mated in the hrattet.
The Cli•IIIITAN, referring to the regulations so to the
granting of compensation, asked if Mr. Pope had done
anything in oontravention of any cattle plague order; if
he bed, they could not allow him eoropeortion.
Mr. Couture mid he did not think Mr. Pope had.
He had attended every committee meeting, and he
thought Mr. Pope acted eery well throughout. The
committee followed the care as closely as they could.
The Cualouog said one of the things in contraven.
lion of the Orderiwas haring an animal effected with
the tlague, and not giving immediate nether of it.
Mr. 000DDRX said 11r. Pope d d give notice as
soon as he knew the cattle plague had attacked his herd;
he could not do more.
Mr. WII.LUIII said he was sorry to trouble the Court,
brit as this was the dist time the subject of compenaa.
tion had come before them, he thought it very import-
ant they should have all matters relative to it
therroghly sifted. He heard that when the first cow
of Mr. Pope's was taken ill he rolled in a person named
Nash, who usually treated his stock, and that he said
the disease was merely a chill, bat when one or two
cows died, Mr. Pope got frightened and called in Mr.
Redwood. If that were the ease, he thought Mr. Pope
hardly acted its he should have dope. On the develop-
of the merest Semblance of the disease, knowing
the plague was about the country, he ought to have in-
formed the local Cattle Inspector. He considered the

Court ought jealously to watch the action of those who
fought onnmensatiott, for • large sum was involved.
Mr. GOODDIIII mid • cam bed now occurred in which
Mr. Nash stated that • cow wee sulfating from ruder-
pest, when it fumed out to be an attack of paralysis!
Mr. WILLIAMS thought it ought to be clearly shown

—sr
that as soon as the disease broke out at H eti nptone
reference woe made to the Inspector. If that were not
done, be held it to be • great question wheelier comport.
tuition ought to be given.
Mr. GOODDRN considered Mr. Pope gave information
as soon as he could have been expected to do, and said
that under the ciecumstanoes he thought he should have I
acted in a similar manner. He supposed Mr. Williams
would like that when a cow was taken ill the Cattle
Inspector should be sent for.
Mr. WlLttstlit said if the illcess was at all similar to
the cattle plague, he thought that in these days the In.
specter of the district should be sent for; it would be a
great protection to the public.
Mr. FARQUHARSON considered that if persons called
on the county to reimburse them for loss they sustained
they ought to be expected to give the earliest possible
Information of an outbreak to the Inspector.
Col. Cox thought it right to say that efter intimation
of the outbreak was communicated to him, Mr. Pope
faithfully carried out all the orders and suggestions made
by his officers to him.
Mr. WILLIAMS : How long was it from the time
the herd was first attacked when the Inspector was
informed of It?
Col. Cox said that one cow died before anything was
I known about it ;as soon as information was given,
the Cattle Plague Committee were celled together, but,
before they gave any orders two more had died.
The Rev. C. W. BINGHAM remarked that the amount
given by Mr. Goodden officially of the manner in which
Mr. Pope acted, seemed to him to be most usteral, and
what Mr. Williams stated was but hearsay.
Mr. WILLIAMS said it wm true that what be called
attention to was but hearsay, and, therefore, he wanted
to know authoritatively whether it was correct or not
. . . . .

The CH/LIZMAS then referred to the official report of
Professor Simonds, who says "It appears that on the
29th June one dairy cow out of • herd of 50 gave indica-
tions of ill health, and, on being seen by the person who
is ordinarily oonsulted by Mr. Pope in such cases, was
declared to be suffering from • common affection only.
On the third day succeeding the attack the animal
and on July 6th two more of the cow, were taken iIL
This circumstance led to the two resident veterinary
surgeons being consulted."
Mr. 000DDIN : They said the dined was the rinder-
pest, whereupon infomuition was given, and the nom-
mind met. hut the two cows died before they could
make any order.
The CHAIIIIAII read from tbe general orders of 24th
March that every person having in his possession any
animal affected by the cattle plague shall forthwith give
notice to the offieers appointed by the load authority.
When Mr. Pope WVA told by Mr. Nash that the disease
was not the cattle plague they could not very well blame
Mr. Pope for not giving notice, [Mr. Goodder. :
Certainly not.) Another regulation was that every
person having in his possession any diseased animal,
should, as far as practicable, keep It separate from
other.. Had that been complied with?
Colonel Cog said he visited the farm at the beginning
of the outbreak, and found four animals affected in
separate shads, and all the reel were away at another
pad of the farm.
The Cameras .• He did his beet. His lordship then
took the opinion of the Coors as to recommending to
the INIZi Quarter Swamps that Mr. Pope be compensated
to the extent of £519 Ph. for 41 affected bead., 7 that
bad not been attacked, and two calves, and it was agreed
to ISM dis.
In answer to the Chairmen, Sir. GOODWIN said as one
of the Cattle Plague Committee he could not recom-
mend to the Court that Mr. Laver, of Fordington. be
compensated for any beads except those ordered to be
killed by the committee. He thought the Court meld
not allow for any more U the committee were to recom-
mend it.
CoL CO' mid that four of Mr. Layer's cows were
slaughtered by order of the committee, and they were
valued by Mr. Damon and Mr. Thos. Elliott, of Fording.
ton, at £lB each.
It was resolved to recommend that Mr. Laver be com-
pensated to the amount of =6.
Two cows belonging to Mr. Luc-, of Weymouth, that
were killed, were valued at £lB each, by Mr. Bauntou,
of Werzio•th, and Hr. Parsons, and the reoommenda-
lion in his came is El&

Some conienstion followed sato the Court paying the
whole of the cattle plague expenses incurred, including
thaw when the several divisioos in tin, county were
separate authorities.
The Caminito said they had power so to do, and he
thought that would be the best wane to adopt. The
Clerks to no Justices of the divisions were paid by
salary, and they might think they bad some sort of
claim on account of the orders they made, but be
thought the Court should bold out against it.
The Bey. C. W. BleGdl.ll remarked they had done
nothing.
The Clark of the Pesos was directed to apply to the
Clerks of divisions for any claims on the county with
reference to the cattle plague, end also to eon.' at bills
for which the county are liable under the cattle plague
orders. These are to be laid before the Finance Com-
mittee, and they will tone steps for bringing the matter
before the Court at the next newtons. His lordship
gave notice of a motion for a special rite for cattle
plague purposes.

Mr. (k,ooDin siggested that now, as there wee no

The CHAIRMAN said as • few days MOM would cam-

CORN Meearr, Saturday, August 2.5. —The
supply of old and new wheat at this day's market
was very small. Rest quality made late rates, but
the new on offer was in rather soft condition, and
therefore not much sought after. Several parcel. of
DOW barley, of line quality, were offered and found
buyers at full prices. Oats in some demand at late
quiltatione.

; marvellous ability displayed by this band, under the
leadership of Mr. D. Godfrey, is familiar throughout

that large numbers will take advantage of the oppor-
tunities now afforded to hear such musical celebrities

Clerk stated that in answer to his application to the

and reservoir, and make alterations and improve-
ments at the Dorchester waterworks, he was
informed that now they were not lending money re-
payable in 20 or 30 years at less than 6 per cent, per
annum interest. Mr. Vernon suggested that it
should be boitoered for 10 years, and then borrowed
again. Mr. Jowett said the works would be
finished in about three months. The Town Clerk
said he had made arrangements for obtaining the
requisite money for the present, and it was suggested
that the loan should be endeavooredto be negociated
elsewhere than at the Royal Exchange.

—in the Morning by the Fen. Arcliderioon Braim,
• in the afternoon by the Rev. F. A. Baker, ILA.
of Godmanstone, and in the evening by the Bishop
of Ontario. At the latter service his lordship selected
for his teat the sadly ironical rebuke of St. James to
the primitive church. "Whet doth it profit, my
brethren, though a man say he bath faith, and have
not works! Can faith save him!" On these words
he founded a stirring discourse. A right belief was
of the utmost importance, and he urged his bearer,
to as. to it that their profession of faith was no: •
mere accident, but be argued the true test of faith
was works. If chriatians, they must bare the tine
missionary spirit, and be appealed to them on behalf
of the Propagation Society, founded in the year 1700
and doing a great work in some colonies. The col.
leotions daring the day amounted to £5 2s.

series of years past to promote the motel improve.,
meet of the people of the parish. But, they ask, of
what avail individual efforts of the moat Christian
kind can be against such drawbacks as the following :
—l. The gloat incubus of absenteeism, under which
Fordington labours as grievously as any parish in Ire-
land. It is not our business,and it is very far from being
our intention, to direct any remark whatever against
the management of the Duchy of Cornwall property
in the parish of Fordington. As far as we have any
information beefing on the future, that information
is hopeful • hut we must plainly state as a fact that
Fordingto;l has in past years bitterly and cruelly
suffered from the absence of any resident oonsiderable
landowner, or any non.resident who was willing to
oompeneate for the disadvantage of his non-residence.
2. The prozimity of a county town and what is
most important, of a garrison town, and a town near
a seaport, which, in a variety of ways, gives constant
patrobege to the evil under notice. 3. The peculiar
difficulties of ownership and rental in house-property
in the pariah of Fordington, which we have no right
to notice in detail, but which present very formidable
obstacles in the way of reform. 4. The practice of
surrounding parishes, out of which, from measures
taken by the lord of the manor, or by arbitrary em-
ployers, • miscellaneous and destitute population is
constaotly drained into Fordington.
DIS MISSING OCC IR ESC& —A lamentable OMlT-
moos took pleat on Tuesday. A child five years of
Ks. named James Evans, whose parents reside in
Mill-street., was sent to Fordington school, shortly
before two o'clock in the afternoon, but as be did
not return home about the usual time inquiries were
instituted respecting his non-appearance- It was
discovered that he had not been to school, whereupon
parents and nei Souis set out in various directions
in the bops of the wanderer. As news of
the child being ' circulated through the pariah,
the liveliest sympathy was manifested towards the
distressed parents, which is assuredly a pleasant
trait in the character of the Fordington people who
are reputed to be—and in many cases, perhaps,
not without warrant—distinguished by their bad
qualities. It is significant of the dangerous
oceditiou of the mill-bank, that very soon fore-
bodings arose in the minds of ell that the
child had strayed along that pathway, had [Altai
in, and been drowned, and this IVY ultimately
found to be the ease. The lifeless body of the child
was found in the river Frome on Wednesday after-
noon. It was thee evident that the body had been
in the water some hours. There was & large bruise
on one temple, which would seem to indicate that
the child had fallen some distance and had struck
upon a stone, and the cuticle was injured at the
back part of the body. An inquest was held
over the corpse the following day, before H. Lock,
Esq., deputy-coroner, at the King's Head
Inn, Fordington, when the evidence given below
was adduced : —Charles Edward lister, miller, re-
siding at Fordingtou Mills, said that last evening,
about six o'clock, some one came to his house, and
told him there was a child in the river, and his man
took a crook, pat it into the water, and drew out
the deceased, end carried it to the house of its father.
—Rebel= Hide, grandmother of the deceased, saw
the child mine out of the yard leading from its home
on Tuesday, about half pest one, or a quarter to two
and Omni up the street on its way to school. 811;
never saw anything of it afterwsrds, till it was taken
out of the river, and supposed the child most have
fallen into the river over some railings near the
house, that were very dangerous, and upon which
children were often swinging.—Emma Trowbridge
sew Me child in the water at half past five the previous
evening.—The jury returned a verdict of Found
drowned." As may well be imagined the parftta
are in great Memel at thus losing one of their
children and onSaturday, when the child wee
buried, the poor mother was carried from the church

OBTAINING A SITUATIOS WV A FALAI PagirisCO--
Last Friday, at the tihirehall, before H. Williams,
Esq., and Major Sykes, Mary Warren, a young woman,
was charged with offering Aerial as • cook to Mrs.
Cowdell, wife of Dr. Cowdell, Dorchester, represent-
ing that she had been in the service of a Mrs. Kellaway,
the wife of • well-to do farmer, who could speak sets-
factorily Rs to her qualification. ; and Msry Ann
Ke.l.way was camped with fahely representing to
11,.. Cowdell that Mary Warr n had been in her
service for ten years, end olio of gunl character. The
tone was brought under Mud Geo. 111. The prison' iv
belong to Yetminster.aml ore relatives. Mrs. Kellewsy
was appreht laded on Weriseaday by Sept. Underwood,
at Yonninster ; and Warren Was tsken under •
warrant whilst at Sherborne &Mar chow. Mr. Giles
Symonds prosecuted. Sarah Maria Cowden deposed :
8 one time ago I happened to be in want of • eervant,
and I received an application from Mary Warren
shmit the end of one last. bhe offered her
services to me as • plain cook, at the same
time representing to me that she had f lived for
two years in the service of a Mrs. Beltway. who
kept two servants. She also stated that Kellaway
gra; the wife of • well-to-do farmer, and that she
would give her (Warren) an excellent shins:ter. In
consequence of this I addressed a letter to Mrs. Belle
way, at Yetininster, making inquiries as to the young
woman's character and earbilities. I mentioned ill
that letter the representation which Warren had made
as to her last term of service ; it is my usual plan to
do so. In the course of a post or two I received •
letter from Killer/ay, which ran to this effect—" In
reply to your note of this morning respecting Mary
Warren's character, she is a good, honest, steady
servant, and the only reamers of her leaving my service
was a few passing words." Upon receipt of that
letter I wrote to Mary Warren closing the engage-
ment, and on the following day I received a reply,
stating that she would common the following Satu-day.
She entered upon her service on the 14th of July ;
but after she had been there some lade time, certain
circumstances came to my knowledge, inducing me to
suspect that all was not right. I mentioned my sue
-
onions to Warren, and tried by various questions to
get at the truth as to who Kellaway was. Warren
made a rambling and very contradictory statement,
sod at last represented that Mrs. Kellaway was liet
aunt that she had conic from London, where her
husband had • farm, to Yetminster, where they stayed
a year or so, and that • few days after she (Warren)
cd left Yetminster, Mr. and Mrs. Kellaway had
soother farm at Southampton. Finding I was
.4 her, she said she was uncomfortable in
ritrrlines and oreemstanow which afterwards trans-
pire,' „Weed 'ne to part with her sooner thus I bad
t. igiggdgdhan. 'one. I addressed • emend letter to
Kellaway inquiring sa to whether the character she
gave of the girl was • mown* one, and I received •
• certifying that the Orel letter was All right.

. Chairman reminded
I'm sore I meant no harm.— 'h. ltteri • very foolish

little children, and whatever shall I do? I'm sure 1.
was innocently dot:ie.—The Chairman said the pri.
sonars had pleaded guilty, and it was quits right of them
to do so, as the evidence was moat clear against then, _ .
Mr. Symonds said, as the prisoners bed pleaded *salty
to the charge, be would merely my that UM abject of
Dr. Cowdell in this transaction ems for the protection
of his neighbours, and an eesumele to others obtaining
situations by false representations. H• had not brossbt
the case bore out of any vindictive feeling against tin
prisoners. RS ha was suns the Bench would quite be-
lieve. Kellaway was the mother of • family; but the
only observation he would nisbi on that was that she
ought to know how wrong it was to make this (aloe as-
sertion. If she had merely said that her niece was •
steady, honed, good servant, she woald have spoken to
that which came within her own knowledge; hut here
was a direct statement of her roman for parting with
her servant by stating that the cause of her
leaving was merely "a few passing word's"—
Tbe Chairman said : The fact is, if any person is
al owed to give truth false characters to servants, there
is an end to all society. 1 have nothing to do here but
to pat the law in force, and the defendants must be
lined in the full penalty of £9O each, with 105.
costs, laecording to Act of Partlament.—On
hearing the decision of the Bench the defendants
cried bitterly, protested against the severity of the *en-
tente, and pleaded the most innocent intentions.—
Dr. Cowden said that the young woman did not mie.
conduct herself in any way, and Mrs. Cowdell made no
complaint against her eirept her procuring the
situation by melon of • false character.
The Chairman said It was • very serious offence, and
the prisoners must pay the £2O penalty and 10.. costs,
or 'go to gaol for two months with hard labour.
The prisoners were unable to pay she money, and were
removed by the police weeping bitterly.
