County el Dorset."
The CLIMI Or nis Psacs said that a new Qum,
les Sessional Order would have to be prepared.
The 01•1110111 remarked to the Clerk of the
Pesos that it would be better to let the metiers stay
as they were till Tuesday (Ibis day). when the
Quarter Sessions would be held at Dorchester, and
between that time and Tuesday Mr. Pfooks
would hare, he took it. time to master the whole
affair. It would be well to have the Orders printed
and sent to each magistrate, so that they should all
hays • oopy of the Consolidated Orders in their
hinds next Tuesday.

Tbe other magisirales ooncurring , it was reeolved
that as the Consolidated Orders (id not tome into
operation until Live 16th of April, and the magis-
trates would be in 11111111i00 on Friday nest at the
empty town, no steps should be taken till that doh
stospt to seed printed apes of the Order in Council
to each magistrate.
A brief conversation then took plaos as to whether
these Sessions should be further adjoareed till the
following Saturday, but it was ocesidered that
would be unnesserry, and it was agreed that the
present Seim' should now mese, as boweioteels, by
elSoz of time.
