John Cure was indicted for obtaining goods to tho value

the :::411 April last. Mr. lock prosecuted.
sundry Higgins was called, and deposed to serving
prisoner with the goods. Finding he was leaving the shop,
witness spoke to prosecutor, who said it was 'all right—
for the I'i-own."
Mr. Farwell said prisoner told him the things were for
Mr. Baynton, of the Crown ; and knowing Cure to be the
ostler there, esitnesi ordered them to be delivered to him
but ithould let have done so if he had known they:
were not for Mr. Baynton.
Annie Wisdom said she heard Mr. Farwell ask Prisoner
if the things were for the Crown, and he replied they
were.
Mr. Boynton was called ; and said ptisoner was working
at the tune in the yard with °their men. He was not paid
by witness, nor had he ever given hint any authority to
order goods uu his behalf, anti did not know that he had
done so, until some months after, when Mr. Farwell sent
In an account, which he refused to pay. Prisoner asked
witness a number of questions allegmg that he told Mr.
Boynton he wanted sonic things; and that after he
obtained them he took the hill to witness, who handed it
to his daughter. Ili. Daynton asked what she was to do
with it, and her father said." Put it behind the glass."
lie also alleged that he had gone to Witnbome with the
clothes on in witness's companr, and that he had been
entployeil to look after a cow.
In reply to the Bet-order, Mr. rtaynton admitted that
prisoner hoarded in the house at the time ; and that he
had given him some money occasionally. Ile did not
remember having the account or giving it to his daughter.
Miss Boynton woo not called.
Prisoner's defence was as thus stated, and be insisted he
obtained the goods with Mr. Banyton's consent.
The fteconler having briefly summed up,
The Jury returned • verdict of "Not Guilty," in which
Mr. Collins concurred, remarking that the evidence was
very weak. The result was received with some applause,
and Cure left the Court with his friends.

The grand jury having returned a true bill in the case of

The Recorder inquired if notice had been given to the
accused /
Mr. }Sullen replied that it had, on Friday lest, and
proceeded to read IL It charged Mabee with stealing

The learned gentleman pointed out that it was not nems
eery to give notice in each caws, and said if Maber did
not appear he must apply for a Bench warrant
The accused was then called the required number of
times, but no answer was made, and no one appeared to
represent him.
The Recorder suggested that • little time should be
allowed him.
Mr. Millen was quite willing. He purposed to ask that
Maher should be loam* over to appear at next quarter

think necessary.
The

'ening the notice. After some further conversation.
The iteconler said the case having been before the
magistrates and dismissed was so far in the man's favour.
Mr. Millen then formally applied for • Bench warrant
to conned Isis attendants; and intimated that the Clerk
of the Almigrsstes would also be subpirnaed to produce
the sleivaitions at the trial, if be would not du so without.
The Ws:order, iti reply to Mr. Bullet; said of course he
could not say what the magistrates would do in the
matter ; lot as he had already remarked, for hizuself he
&Medd take the man's own recoiminince.
This terminated the business.

&vim guardians were present at the meeting.
I have the honour to be,
My Lonla and Gentlemen,
Your most obedient servant,
J. Stun, Clerk.
The lisml Government Board, Whitehall, 'souks,
Mr. MUNE thought the club should state the number of
thou •ho voted in favour, and thou against Carried
unanimously, and by a majority, was a very different
matter.
The Ormolus was quite willing It should be done.
A little crossfire ensued. between Mr. Stone, the
Chairman, and the lice. J. H. Austen, the latter remark-
ing it was no unusual thing to have complaints.
Mr. Lure said this case appeared to have been cut and
dried before being brought to the Board. It ought to
here been adjourned, se that all the Guardians might
have had a fair chance of attending, and the matter fairly
and properly discussed, and in an unbiassed way.
Mr. OAKLEY : What do you mean by "raked up"?
The women came to the Bouil and made • straight-
forward statement. What more do you wish?
Mr. Gams : Further notice ought to have been given.
Mr. OAKLEY : We did not even know that Mr. Turner
would be present at the last meeting, lie was, however,
present, and the women nude their statements before
him.
Mr. LEFF : I object to the way in which it was done.
It was unfair, and against the good old English law, that
a man need not cr 111 l inate himself.
The CLERK explained that at the last meeting be
mentioned that 31r. Turner wished to have an interview
with the Board in cinsequence of the paragraph which
airared in the T. Gyn.,.
the CIItiRMAS hail no doubt if they had done wrong
they would be wrapped over the knuckles. The Commis-
sionen would come down, no doubt, and they had better
now proceed with their other business.
The matter then dropped.
VIZ COMPILRSATION CASK.
The CLJULK read letters from Mr. and Mrs. Slade in
reference to the alleged neglect of the medical and
relieving officers in a case of typhoid fever cry which •
domestic, named Mary Turner, was affected while in
service. The circumstances were fully reported • fortaigt
since. The letters were as follows :

ha vc read the report of the last meeting ae to what wan MI id to

anxious that the girl should be removed all through her Ulnas,
and that it was solely for the reason that my wishes were
unheeded, notwithstanding sermi personal appliculons, that
I made • forum' •pplication by letter on the Inth August, to
the Relieving Officer and the Medical Weer. Both of these
letters wen left at the residences of the respective parties by
lir Robert Belben, on the morning of the lath August. Mr
Belies informed ma he dlil not end Mr Turner at hom be, ut

ant be saw Mr Rol'Rip, who told him distinctly and repeittedly

data of the Sanitary Committee aolointael by the Corporation,
to attend to the case; that he should not think of sending a
ea. of fever to the union house ; that, if he did, Mr Clerse,
Me master, would rause to admit the Infected person, and that
if be (Mr Rollins) interfered in the matter he should incur the
divdtasure of Mr Ellis, for hating deprived him of a private
patient.
It seems to me that the midence which Mr Belton could give
would render much of the other disputed matter of little value
in adjudging where the blame rests. The Local Government
Rani, whom I addressed on the 111th August, after I had
&ant Mr helben's statement, immediately called your
attention to the law affecting the removal of domestic servants

inaction of the authorities here, I have the right to assume that
my Claim could he sustained, even if it were for a ter latter
sum than I have thought right, acting under a *ease of public

here were ninny reasons operating to prevent my return,
with nip family, into my own house before sit weeks had
expired.

me I sas bound to keep the girl, and had bettor engage a
nurse for her, but I knew not to whom to apply —es cryone

were two fever wants at the workhouse ; but in the course
of the discussion Mr. Rollimp, the relieving officer, said
he had never taken a case of fever there and the master,
Mr. Clarke, pointed out that according to Mrs. Slade's
statement she was doing everything she possibly could
for the girl, so that it was not scam, of destitution.

On Thursday, at Bristol, there was a good supply
oifknglish wheat, which sold slowly at a decline of is.
per quarter. Transaction in foreign wheat was con-
fined to merest retail, and values again the turn
cheaper. Fine malting barley quite as dear.
secondary sorts difficult of disposal. A good enquiry
for grinding qualities, and values advanced fully is.
Indian corn sold slowly at last week's rates. Oats
sound, sold moderately at last week's values. At
Manchester wheat was inactive, and is. lower. Trade
was dull at Birmingham. At Devizes prizes were in
favour of buyers.
On Friday, at Mark•Latic, both English and
foreign wheat met a slow sale at previous values. The
flour trade was very dull, with a downward tendency
in prices. Grinding barley is. per quarter dearer ;
=king unaltered. Oats realised full values. The
market was quiet for maize. Beans and peas remained
firm—At I .iverpool only a moderate business 1,13.5 done
in wheat, but quotations were not altered. Flour
quiet and rather weaker. Beans and peas is. per
quarter lower. Grinding barley id. per bushel higher.
An improved demand arose for Indian corn, which
closed at an advance of 6d. per quarter.—At
Wakefield, wheat had a downward tendency, and
the business passing very small. Barley is is. lower to
sell, secondary qualities unsaleable. Beans and oats in
limited demand and rather lower.
