OPEN SPACES FOR THE PUBLIC.  Dorchester Town Council is determined to keep abreast of the times, and no better proof of this could be found than in the acquisition of land by the council for the purposes of public gardens. Wherever possible open spaces should be provided for the public, and the Dorchester Town Council would have been wanting in their duty if they had not embraced the opportunity of purchasing the land which now forms the Borough Gardens. General satisfaction is expressed with the scheme, and the Town Council are in the happy position of knowing that the ratepayers—or the great bulk of the ratepayers—thoroughly endorse their action. We hope that as time goes on the gardens will be rendered even more attractive than they are at the present time by the addition of gifts of statuary, a fountain, Am. The Town Council have provided the grounds, and now there is a chance for wealthy Durnovarians to manifest their generosity for the good of the public. The arrangements for the opening day were excellent, and a special word of praise is due to the sub-committee, on w horn the bulk of the work fell. The Mayor took up the matter with great heartiness, and it must have been gratifying to him to receive such ready support from the chief magistrates of Weymouth and Poole.  The county town is going ahead in various ways, and we notice that the Mayor has bought, on behalf of a local syndicate, over 60 acres of land with a frontage on Weymouth Road and Bushway, and it is proposed to at once develop the land. A matter of considerable importance to Dorchester was touched upon at the luncheon on Thursday, viz., the rumour that the Dorset Assizes were to be transferred to Winchester. The Mayor of Poole is strongly opposed to the transfer, and we are sure he will find plenty of support in Dorchester. It would be manifestly unfair to everyone having business at the assizes that they should be compelled to journey into the neighbouring county of Hants.  The gross value of the personal estate of Mr. Levy, who was murdered for het supposed wealth by Seaman, who was recently hanged, has been sworn at £5.

There was a large proportion of billing offences against property, but there was no reason, so far as be could gather, to suppose that they had amongst them a close of persons professionally dishonest. The offenses appeared to be due to bad times and the want th‘it always appeared to dog the footsteps of the working man. There was another class of offence against the person, and the evidence in reference of that appeared to disclose the existence of a very turbulent and disorderly spirit in certain parts of the co= It must be borne in mind that .hen carried on irksome and heavy work, and trim* the burden of life was heavy, they would be tempted to indulge in habits of drinking, and they would find that in the worst of than case., the crime had its origin in a public hones. They must hope that ths spread of temperanoe and of temperance habits, elsewhere, would become manifest here, and that offences of the kind would become fewer. The class of offences was that against which recent legislation for the protection of women and children had been directed, and be was sorry to see that there was a large number of these cases. Now, he. en posed that no wiae man would complain of the policy of the law that made conduct of this sort,the subject of a criminal charge, but he confessed he had no great anticipation that the law alone would be strong enough to cope with thews case.. The efforts of the magistrate and the judge must be seconded by the efforts of the teacher.

There were three cases to whichit was necessary to call attention. The first was that of David Jeanie, who was charged with shooting a man with a revolver. The eircumstances of the case were peculiar. The jury, at the inquest, came to the conclusion the offence was justified through thepoeitiou inwhich the prisoner found himself. The magistrates took a different view. There could be no question that the magistrates were quite right in sending the case for trial, and the duty of the jury was perfectly clear. The presumption of the law was that where one man took the life of another, by the use of a deadly weapon, the crime. prima facie, was murder, audit was for those charged with the defence, to establish to the satisfaction of the petty jury such mitigating circumstances as might , exist. There were also two other cases.
