Frances Tucker borcathed her propertv, then
known as "South Mapperton, now cello' " Marsh Farm,

in Beandruder, for charitable purposes. It was to he held
by trustees, and the proceeds were to be appropriated as
follows :—'Twenty of the poorest boys in Beaminster
were to be educated, and three or four were to be
apprenticed each year as far as the money would reach.
In addition 1.10 a year was to he expended for the benefit
of the poor, which of Ist. years was devoted ton nal flind,
by which the poor were provided with coal at a cheap rate.
At the time the property was left it was worth £:e i 5 year;
now it is worth ,Oa year. In accordance with the
hogiowt. a school was started in licaminater called
Tuckers school, and ss the value of the property increased,

although the coal fund has been kept up. Of course, the
inhabitants of Beaminster felt much aggrieved, and a
memorial numerously signed was forwarded to the Charity
Commissioners some three or four weeks ago, praying that
the Commissioners would direct that the old Tucker'.
school and premises be used for the purpose for whieh they
were originally intended, and setting forth that the
trustees were in receipt of sufficient income to open and
maintain • school adapted to the present requirements of
Beaminster. The reply of the Commissioners was that
the question WM one in which the trustees hail sole
disvretien, and they could choose whether it should be
used as an Elementary school or as was originally intended,
but the Commissioners had no doubt the trustees would
try and meet the wiehes of the inemondiste Sinee then,
we are informed, the toot°es have met, and decided that
at the expiration of twelvemonths, Tucker's school shall

will have to Pay • tuition fee as arranged by the scheme,
and for whkha good education will he imported. We
believe that it is contemplated ultimately to unite this
charity and the Netherbury Grammar School, and to erect
suitable buildings at a spot conveniently situated with
respect to both localities,
