POOLE.

A Caves thiLlßßA.—Quite an etc ti rose, we
hear. is to be heard before a neighbouriog lt rich of
ron;istrates. The lessee of the ref reshinent-rieim at •
well-ireown watering-place wa. got behi .1 in his rear,
and as he couldn't pay, and refused to move out, the
proprietor, the chief brewer in Poole, • few nights
ego, emit down • small army, under the command of a
" Captain " who in them parts has a roputationsecond
only t the Duke of Cambridge. Tney very soon
cleared the plaos—ecome say the content. of the casks
sa well—and the landlord and his daughters beat a
retro it through the windows. Nearly B summonses
have been issued, we hear, and amongst them is one
for • J.P. of the Borough and County of Poole.
Tine Bouanzeours Su evgroa. —We stated last week
that a charge had been preferred against the surveyor
to the Bournemouth Commissioners (Mr. Andraws) of
a serious neglect of duty—to put it mildly. A firm of
contractors, Messrs. Pontifex and W oil undertook,
according to their contract, to lay down, in connection
with Ms pier otitis:l, pipes of a uniform one-inch
thickness. One hundred and 'event en pipes were
required. The brat 45 laid down were only, however,
lAth of so inch in thickness. A fracture occurring
its
one of them aroused suspicion, and a diver was
employed, and he at once discovered the truth as to
the 45. The surveyor's attention was called to thi.,
and he wart obliged to admit that he nit only had
pared these 45 pipes, but be had entered lute an
agreement with the contractors that the Zi pipes next
In order rosining should be, by way of compentation,
of the thickness of an inch and a quart •r, while the
remaining 39 should revert to di, original lulu thick.
ems. As the 11ev..7. R. Prettyman put it. the second
layer of 23 piped to compensate for the first and third
layers (94 of Oh of an inch each) should have been 2i
inches thick. Amon-ling to the report of tbe engineer
employed to examine the works', it would also appear
the pipes have been laid at pinch inadequate and
irregular inclinations and are so faultily comwted
together that they cannot perform their fused in. In
spite, however, that, under this "improved" state of
matters are ten times worse than under the ild.
The surveyor mortified the works hat been carried out
to hie satiefactinn. flow to deal with Mr. Andrews
was discussed at a meeting of the Board on Thursday,
and the arguments were rather of a lively nature.
