BLANDFORD (DORSET) PETTY SESSIONS,
SATURDAY, SEPT. 9.

Present—Sir John Smith, Bart.; E. B. Portman, Esq.
M. P.; J. H. Bastard, Esq.; and the Rev. George

The cases before the Magistrates possessed little in-
.crest.

The Magistrates discovered every thing rather than an
indisposition to the publication of their proceedings, and
the reporter learned from one of them that the unanimous
feeling of the Bench was, that any portion of the public
should be freely admitted, especially that no reporter
should be excluded. Mr. Okeden-(who was one of the
Wimborne Magistrates) • was in the Court at the com-
mencement of the business, and Obseried, in answer to a
question from the reporter, that some mistake as to his
views had occurred, for he was always of opinion, and had
ever acted upon the opinion, that the judicial proceedings
of Magistrates could not have too much publicity. Whether
the petty proceedings of the Sessions were proper subjects
of notice in the London Papers was another question. It
aPPetws that a county meeting Will' be convened in a few
months, for the purpose of submitting the plan of the
Friendly Society to the public, and that it is intended at
that time to propose many new Directors, for the election
of the parties who may choose to become members.
This town is the centre of 31 parishes, the inhabitants
,of which resort to it as their market-town and the seAt of
justice. The market is excellent, and the town one of the
best in the county. It formerly returned two Members to
Parliament, and the. s were held here once
dissatisfied with recently. The
ofthis Court to Dorchester,
the removal
a year,
until very Quarter
inhabitants are greatly
and entertain the ancient
privilege will be '
the most sanguine hopes that
restored to them.
