BOARD OF HEALTH.

WIMBORNE.—Prrry Senistoxs, Fridoy.—Before
C. J. P.irke, Esq., Major P .rtinan, the Bev. C. .1:
Glyn, John H. Austin, Willett 1.. Adye, and St.
John Coventry, Emir:l.—Charles Chapple, of Code
Mullen, was bronglit up by Superintendent Boynton,
charged with lining found by Steplien Head and his
watcher, G. Weeks, armed with • gun in Rumen Copse,
on the manor of St. John Coventry, Esq. Hammered
: that prisoner was seen to watch • plieninnt to roost on •
tree on the previous afternoon, and the keeper, as soon
as he was gone, put the bird off. At 5 o'clock on the
following ening the prisoner came with his gun and
fired, as he supposed, at the pheasant, but which proved
to he only au iry.bush. 'Hie keepers rushed from their
todieg plsee, and the prisoner ran off and jumped •
lake f water. The watcher also attempted to jump it,
but fell in, and the prisoner escaped. A warrant was
placed in the hands of the polic., wl:o apprehended him
at his cottage.—Mr. F. W. Freeman appeared for the
defence, and call,d two men, named Fault, prisoner's
hrother-in-law and father.in-law, to prove an alibi.
The witnesses, however, contradicted each other, and
evidently grossly perjured themselves. Mr. Freeman,
in consequence, withdrew from the case.—The Rnch
sentenced prisoner to two months' hard labour, and
ordered that at the end of that period he should find
two sureties to he of good behaviour and not again
offend for twelve inotiths.—Darid Crumpler, Samuel
Crumpter, Jobs Alma, and John Lang•lun, all of
Lytellett Matravers, were charged by Superintendent
Boynton with being guilty of drunken and riotous
cenduct between 11 and 12 u'elock at night.—All the
defendants, except Samuel Cruinpler, pleaded guilty,
hat the evidence against him was also quite conclusive.
The defendants were severally fined El 95., including
costs, or two month's hard labour.—The money was
paid.

The Inspector again reported the existence of
several nuisances, and the usual notices were ordered.
The SURVEYOR'S report was read. In it attention
was called to the gates at the entrance of the
butchers' market, which cannot be now closed owing
to the slides and !willies being out of order. The fire.
engine kept in the vegetable market was injured by
exposure to the weather. Ihe questions were re-
ferred to the committee. . .

WAREIIAM.—Riris Pima Suoortxo.—Mr.
Cornelius Selby, ironmonger, lately kindly gave
two short Enfield rifles, sword bayonets, and •
waist-belt and pouch, to be shot for by effective
members of the 2nd Dorset Volunteer Rifles, sub-
ject to a small entrance fee. By the judicious
management of Captain Farrer three prizes were
contended for. The first was the bust rifle, with
. .

the belt and pouch ; the second the other rifle; and
the third* portion of the entrance foes The waist
belt and pinch are so contrived as to do away with
the necessity of wearing • cross-belt; and are, we •
believe, made very much after the pattern of those
worn by Lord ltanelagli's corps, the 2nd Middlesex.
The match took place on Thursday hut, the 28th
, ult. ; five rounds at each range of 300 and 600 yards.
Corporal James Spicer won the first prize; Private
Churchill the second ; and Private Brett the third.
Private Candy was entitled to the second iirize, but
an be sometime ago wm • short Enfield rifle, he
generously gave up his right of participating in the
prizes on this occasion. The ties were decided by
the greatest number of hits. We subjoin particulars

The tienvevon also strongly recommended that
arran4etnenta should be made for the ventilation of
the sewers. As to the importance of such ventila-
tion there could be no doubt, as if artificial openings
were not made, the sewers would ventilate themselves
by forcing the offensive :natter generated in the
sewer's into the streets. Where, however, there
were artificial openings, such openings might be
trapped. The plan had been applied to the sewers
in London, and found to be eff, dive. simple, and in.
expensive. The prczezit flushing shafts might be
adapted at small cost to this purpose—say 50s. each.
He recommended that ene be fixed at the end of
the sewers in Highitreet, Prinees-etreet, and South-
street—The work was ordered to be done.
There were three tenders for putting the gas lamps
in repair, keeping such lamps in repair tor three
years, and painting the lamp pets with three coats
of oil paint. Mr. F.ilwied Could's tender for the
three years amounted to £2l 155., Mr. Thomas Dew.
land's to £32 Itts., and Mr. James Arees's to £26 10s
On the motion of Mr. Love, seconded by Dr.
Ai.DRiDGE, Mr. Gould's tender was accepted.
The next business was to consider a letter received
from Mr. Holten, and decide what should be done
thereon. -It will be recollected that at the previous
meeting of the Council, a resolution was adopted to
offer Mr. Bollen £2 121. 6.1. in compensation for
the damages that hail been done. This otter Mr.
Bollen indignantly refused. His house hail been
flooded four times, and he demanded that the sum of
£21.1 4s. exl. be paid him in conipensation fordamages
which he believed reached £lOO. He requested an
immediate answer, as unless the amount was agreed
to, he should place the matter in the hands of his

The CHAIRMAN begged to thank then, a thousand
times for their kindness, not only on that, baton many
former occasions. He had frequently told them that he
felt time greatest pleasure in coming among them, and
he now repented the assurance with the deepest feel-
ings of sincerity. His friend Mr. Yestinan had just
spoken of him as an experimentalist, and doubtless in
doing MI lie had the gleam plough which he (Sir Ed-
ward) had lately purelia.ed, in his head. (Laughter.)
Well, lie hoped that after lie had a little more experi-
ence of its working, he should find the steam plough •
very useful implement for stirring up the laud. While
speaking on agricultural subjects, he might mention
diet lie had recently received a letter from a gentleman
formerly residing at Marnbull— Mr. W. H. Davis—sug-
gesting the employment of sewage matter as manure on
sonic of the land in Dorsetshire. Mr. Davis had re
quested him to bring the subject under their notice, and
perhaps some of them might be disposed to give it their
consideration. Speaking of Doreetshire, lie said it was
