YEOVIL.

IintSCRKEA KING. -A rubbery, under circumstances
of the most heartless character, was committed on
Saturday night. The unfortunate sufferer, was a
poor woman named Hurlestone, residing in Ilawlings'
Lane. Several articles were stolen. We trust that
our police officers will soon have the guilty party in
custody. At the Borough Police Court on Thurs-
day, before W. Bide, and, J. It. 51.1” o, Esq., Henry
Tempimam, generally known by the cognomen of
Temple Bar, but who, it appears, has been too fond
of the ptiblican's bar, pleaded guilty to being drunk
and using pref.:tile language in Wine-street on the
Wednesday previous. -Upon his promising not to
offend again, lie was discharged with &caution.
COLINTV COURT. Tuesday. Before Charles Saun-
ders. Ea' q., the following cases were tried :-Conicay
v. Read. This was an action to recover .1:17 175. 3/1.,
balance of an account of over £5O. Mr. Fear, who
appeared for the defendaet, a butcher and yeoman,
living at Rhyme lotriusica, disouted the jurisdiction
of the Court, and his Honor dismissed the summons,
but without costa.-- Beaton v. 'bider. This was
an action brought by the plaintiff, a felliuonger of
Martock, to recover the sum of £4 17s. 9d., alleged
to have been advanced to defendant, a butcher rf
the mule plum. Mr. Watts for plaintiff, and Mr.
Feer for defendant.. The examination of the
plaintiff caused considerable amusement in court,
his liltiut answers and queer gesticulations provoking
much laughter. The following is the evidence
adulueed.-Plsintiff stated that on the last //cession
when they (plaintiff and defendant) settled up,
defendant &Aced him to lend him a£s note. Ile
[ had no cash with him at the time, but be had •
cheque which lie said he would go to North Pether-
ton and cash. This he did, and returned and gave
the defonilant the money he required.-Mr. Watts:
Mr. Beaton, have you ever figured in the Bank.
ruptcy Court ?-Plaintilis Bless your soul, sod
' (Laughter.) I beg to say publicly that 1 don't owe
any man a sixpence. I have always paid 20s. in the
pound. How do you like that, Mr. Watts!
(Laughter.) I don't owe any man in Er' igland or
out &sixpence ; and that is worth saying, I know.
-His Honor: Having gone on in this friendly way
so long, how came you to have this difference?-
He went to another bujer, and then he came and
said be has out of my deli,-Defendant totally
denied that the money had ever beell advanced to
him. Ile had been • butcher in klartock 42 years,
and had never hail a dispute respecting an account
with any man. Be believed that the plaintiff had
brought this action merely because ho was vexed
that defendant had sold his akin, to another dealer,
[ who had offered him wore money for them. The
, case MU adjourned in order to bring evidence
as to the time, of cashing the cheque, and
also to show whether the defendant went
to plaintiff's Name to receive the money.

BAIA Alt.—On Thursday and Friday, I bazaar for
, the sale of fancy needle and other work, was
opened in the splendid grounds of John Wood, Esq.,
for the purpose of raising funds to pay off the re-
maining debt on the pariah church. To sad in this
good work many of the ladies residing in the neigh-
bourhood had most industriously plied their needles
in making those various • fancy, yet useful, articles
which give to the drawing-rouin and boudoir much
of their tasteful appearance. The weather was all
that could be dewed, and the occasion drew together
the Nits 01 the neighbourhood, among whom we
noticed C. A. Moody, Eeq., M.P., and Mrs. Moody,
Mrs. Dickinson, F. Greenbelt., Esq.. and Mrs.
Greenhorn, Miss Neal, Mrs. Phelipe, John Goodden,
Esq., Compton, Captain Stuckey, Langport, tac.,
Mrs. Salmon, Mrs. Symes, Mrs. Wood; Mrs. East-
meat, Mrs. Stuckey, Miss Bowden, Miss Parsons,
Mrs, Nicholetta, Mrs. Poole, and Mrs. Gould pre-
sided over the stalls. The popular Yeovil Rifle
Band, under the able leadership of Mr. Lusting, was
present, and performed the following admirable
selection with great taste :-•

The whole affair proved a complete success; the
tempting offers of the fair sellers were not to be re.
slated, and we understand that more than £3OO
worth of articles were sold, beside about £lOO worth
left on hand. Flags and tt.is era were tastefully
interwoven with the stalls, and rendered the whole
truly picturesque. Great praise is due to the inhalii-
tants for the zeal they display in aid of their parish
church.
