the county magistrates at Weymouth, on Tuesday,
charged with entering the dwelliag•houss of Abraham

evening last between eleven and twelve prosecutor,
a carpenter, living at Easton, hearing • noise down
stairs, descended and found prisoner there. Upon
a previous occasion he had been found in the h0w...,
and prosecutor said I,n Sunday evening to the
.• Mato I What are you here again ?"
Prisoner reinned, " Where am 1?" Prosecutor
replied, 'You'. opened two or three doors and it
is very strange you cannot find your way out."
While looking abaut for a policeman the prisoner
stepped it. An entrance it appeared had been made
by the hack window, and • piece of bread which had
been left on the tal.le was missing.—The supennten.
fondest gave the prisoner not a very flattering
character; he had been before the Court for drunken-
ness, and wilful damage, and bad robbed.his grand-
father. -Prisoner bad no question to ask, and main-
tained that be did not know anything about the
affair.—The Chairman said the Bench believed the
prisoner woe on the premises loran unlawful purpose,
and was not so drunk as not to know what he was
about. He would be sentenced to three montb's
hard labour.

top-room. It was fell of people. I saw two, Joeiah
Parsons and Richard Savory, very drunk, and there
were others, Hiohard Halle John Parsons, and John
Holdway, worse for liquor. I then left the boom,
nod returned at ten minutes past eight. Richard Savory
and Josiah Parsons were goo., Half and John Holdway
were th-re. They wore worse for liquor. elreepli Crew and
James Harvey Were also there very drank. I called
Mr. Woollrey's attention to them, and said they bad
hod too mach drink. Woolfrey said lie would try and
I eel them away, but that they were very qu•et •' hat he
lii not on.er them out. I returned agaai at hitlif.put
10 fon,,,i 'or, James Harvey, John Hold•
way. and ktiohard Holdersy still there, all of th• m were
dunk but Holdersy was the leant so. Before I went
into the house I heard • great deal of cursing and
swearing. It was in conse.uense of the noise that
went at brat into the house. I told defendant I should
report hien. He said they were all quiet, and he
had not semi anyore do anything wrong.—By Mr.
Weston: I have been stationed at Child Okeford about
four years. During that time I have been Alined to
caution the defendant, bat have
charge airainat him. I aim Mr. Turner there when I
'rat visited the house. Ile was perfectly sober. I did
not see him afterward.. I know a PAR named George
Grey, servant to Mrs. Roberti.. I saw him in the house

of the parish, giving the defendant a most excellent
eharacter, and further stating that he believed
he had Wear oonductad hia house in a

They were singing together but not disorderly.
I did not see either Savory or Josiah Parsons there, bat
I saw Richard Hill. I did not take much notice of '
them. I did not see either Hold-nay or John Parsons
there.—By the Bench : I do not know the sin. of the
tap room. Could not say if it was 111 feet or 16 feet
square—Thomas Tamer said he was a hatcher and
baker, sod resided next door to the Bakers' Arms Inn.
He went into the tap room on the night in question
about seven o'clock, and remained till a little alter nine.
There were • number of people there. They were not
noisy or conducting thernaelns improperly. Tithee
was no quarrelling nor soy dison'erly conduct. They
Mfg twos, three songs very comfonably. 1 have Dev!
seen any disorderly wildest in the house, and the land-
lord has always conducted it In a proper manner. There
was only one man who seemed to have taken anything
like too much drink. I (nanot say if James Harvey
was drunk. as he was very quiet and was sitting down.

hall-past ties, and with the except.on of about ten
minutes, remained in the tap-room until be went to

d elan kennesa I don't know the people at Child Okelord.
—The Bench said they were of opinion them wan some
slight infraction of the term, of defendant's license,

Lacruanjoir Aurriume.. —On Monday eennight.
Mr. E. Hamilton, one of the Members for this city,
delivered a lecture at the Conseil House, on "Australia."
It was von in connection with ths Mechanics' Institute
and Workmen's ads, and the admission being few,
there was a numerous attendance'. As previously
announced, seats were provided for the "respectable"
portion of the .udience, but we do not know who was
entrusted with the not very enviable teak of deciding
the weal status of thew who attended. The chair was
taken by the Worshipful the Mayor, and on the platform,
in addition to the lecturer, were Mr. Alderman Fawcett,
Mr. Alderman Woodland', Mr. Style, Mr. Mildest,
Ac., /la Having been briefly introduced by the Chair-
man, Mr. Hamilton octomeneed his address by observing
that his only excuse for oecupying so prominent •
position was. request made to him by Mr. Bartlett, and
considering his connection with the city, and the obliga-
tion. he was under for their good will and confidence,
he weld not but interpret the request as • command
from those whose wishea be was bound to consider, and
whew amusement be was bound to promote. The
subject of his address was the past history and the
Present state of our Australian Colonise, In which it
was well Itionen to moat of them he bed passed many
years of his life ; the proem...lye development of which
he had witnessed and to the best of his ability helped
to promote; and in whose permanent SUOMIs and
prosperity be bad a steady and unthsken conedenee.
All in this country were more or lees bound to
Australia by ties of interest and feeling. Of interest,
beceuee there was not • town in this coeutry which had
not been enriched by connection with is, and of feeling
because there was hardly • town or village in England
from which some kinsman or friend had not sought,and
fonnd in those colonies • new home of abundance, • new
field of industry, and a new career of wiefelneto
Though expressing • deep conviction of the complete
wooer of the political experiment now being tried in
Australia, of the welf-governuent of • people by the
people themselves, the hon, member explained thatit
must not be interpreted as • sly, inopportune word in
favour of • Reform Bill at home; and he then proceeded
to sketch the discovery end progress of Australia, point- I
ing out what he wandered the great lendimarks in It,
surprising history, and noticing it, nineties of climates
soil country. Though Is some respects, he said, it
abounded with almost every dewription of insect objee-
tionable to every sewn the scourge of sleep and the
bane of mid-day toil, it was nevertheless • bright
land and • happy home to dwell in abounding in
materials, resources, and opportunitiess of advaeoement
lir the rigour and energy of aIL As an illestretiou o
the condition of the colony, the hen. gentleman p.inka
out that whereas in th sUalted Kingdom every 100 people
paid e 240 in taxes, and had about ST sheep aid 90
head of horsed cattle. in Austral"' every 100 inhab-
itant. contributed £440 to the public review, and had
2,000 sheep, and 900 head of horsed cattle among them.

activity and industry of Its inhabitants. In proportions.

plentiful then it was in the United Kingdom. Another
sinking proof of the wealth of the people was the large
went of the Imports and exports of the °wintry. In
11951 the total imports end exports of these 1,300.000
people exceeded 1152.000,000, the value of the et-tides
inn:pined from the United Kingdom alone atormuting to
£19,000.000. As a set-off, however, there was one great
deficiency in the produces of Australia. It had meat
enough to- millions more, but it did not raise nor-n
enough tofeed its own linseed population. He sketched the
ecciiernent end eathwissie excited by the gold discovery
sod the wide-spread influent's of that important
not only upon the colony. but upon the rest of the
ea Id also. Al to political life in Australia, the boo.
coalman said the only attribute of demon-say it pos-
sessed was manhood suffrage, subject to aerials mirk,

far as he knew, bora no trace of precipitation, and
though undeveloped it was advancing with a sue and
certain •tep and giving premier of • brilliant sewer a.
en organised self-goarnment. They were practical
men, doing what we should do ourselves, adopting last
the form of Government which wed best adapted to
the peculiar circemstanrea and feelings of the people,
and the condition of the country. The lecturer con-
cluded with as eloquent peroration, in which be
dPpicted the ultimate separation of the colony from the
mother amine, and its prosperous future. At the close,
as frequently during the delivery of the address, the
audience nanifeited their approval by bunts of applause.
On the motion of the Mayor, 'seconded by Mr. Atri.
