Winchester

The quarterly meeting of the Winchester Provident Institution was holden at the Guildhall of this city on Monday last, and although by an act of the Legislature, a very material alteration in the law concerning these establishments took place in November last, which has been strictly adhered to by the managers, still the report was most favourable, the sum of �1700 having during the quarter been invested in Government securities, a circumstance truly gratifying to its promoters, and which bespeaks the steady confidence of the public, as well as the gradual development of the benefits of this praiseworthy establishment. From experience we now are convinced, that very material and general advantages are likely to accrue from institutions of this nature; for they not only relieve from want without checking industry, but they secure independence without inducing pride; and also produce that sobriety of mind and steadiness of conduct which afford the best foundation for the domestic virtues in humble life.
On Monday last died, Mrs La Parelle, mother of Mr.La Parelle, painter, of this city.
On Thursday last an inquest taken by Mr.Todd, at Park Cottage, in the parish of Beaulieu, on the body of Wm.Burnett, aged about 70 years, who on Tuesday preceding was found dead in a coppice, where he had been working. A quantity of blood had issued from his mouth, which together with other circumstances, left no doubt that he had broken a blood vessel, by violent coughing, to which he was subject. Verdict accordingly.

Both main and byes were decided in favour of Godshill, by one battle each. Each party was to show 16 cocks, neither of which was to be under 4 pounds 8 ounces, nor above 5 pounds, and to give or take an ounce; and it not only so happened that every cock was matched, but that there was only one that was an ounce heavier than the cock he fought with. Appearances were decidedly in favour of the St.Helen's cocks, but the superiority of feeding was clearly on the other side.

Mr.Thomas Flower, of Melksham, a man of many respectable connections, and who for many years possessed an unblemished reputation, pleaded guilty at our assizes to a charge of having secreted and embezzled various property with intent to defraud the Commissioners of the Melksham turnpike. Mr.Juctice Park, in addressing the prisoner, expressed his sorrow at seeing a man like him (who appeared to have moved in a respectable sphere in life) in such a situation; the learned Judge, however said, that as the felony of which he (the prisoner) admitted himself guilty, was one of a most heinous description, he should adjudge him to be transported beyond the seas for seven years.
At the conclusion of the trial of Charles Harwood, who was convicted of stealing property from Mr.William Wootton Lucy, of Marlborough, - Mr.Justice Park, ordered that the expenses of the prosecution should be paid out of the rates of Marlborough, because that borough does not contribute to the county rates.
The following causes were tried at Nisi Prius :
Charles Hill v. J.P.Tinney, W.B.Brodie, and J.Dowding. - This was an action for the recovery of a sum of money alleged to be due to the plaintiff, under a special agreement. The defendants are gentlemen of Salisbury, who had engaged to pay the plaintiff two guineas a day for time and exertions engaged in the settlement of the accounts of the late Mr.Winch, attorney in Salisbury. A letter was put in that was received from the defendants, engaging to employ the plaintiff on the terms mentioned; and Mr.J.E.Judd, and other persons, proved that the plaintiff was engaged in the office of the late Mr.Winch for six months, and appeared to be performing his contract in settling the embarrassed affairs of Mr.Winch. For the defence it was argued, first, that the defendants were guarantees and not principals; secondly, that the plaintiff had refused to complete the contract in an apartment which the defendants wished to provide for him in Mr.Tinney's office, in consequence of the sale of the house in which Mr.Winch's office had been held; -and thirdly, that the work done by the plaintiff was of no value, and could not entitle him to remuneration. The defendant's counsel offered to the plaintiff the whole produce of the only bill which he had proved himself to be made out, in discharge of his claim, but this offer was not accepted. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.- damages �265 10s 6d.
Alderson, assignee of Burgess, v.Grobety - This was an action of trover, to recover from the defendant the sum of �30, being the amount of a bill of exchange obtained from the bankrupt.- The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, for the �30 sought to be removed.
Towsey v. White. - This was an action on the General Turnpike Act for recovering from the defendant, who is a commissioner on the turnpike road running through the town of Mere, 7 penalties of �100 each for having on 7 days in the month of August last let out his carts and horses to hire for the use of the turnpike road. It appeared in the course of the trial that the turnpike commissioners had agreed with persons of the name of Chave[?] and Hodgkinson to let the work to them at a sum of �119, and that they afterwards applied to the defendant to hire his teams and horses in addition to others, which they employed. The learned Judge was of opinion that this did not come within the terms of the Act, and after going partly through the case, a verdict was given for one penalty of �100, subject to a special case to be argued the next term.
Palmer v. Taylor and others.- This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a clothworker at Bradford, against the defendants for an assault and false imprisonment. Mr.Serjeant Pell stated the case to the jury, and called witnesses who proved that the plaintiff on the 23d of October last was taken by the defendants (Taylor being a constable) to the chapel (lock up house) and there imprisoned for about 36 hours, and that in taking him there they had put a rope with a noose round his body. Mr.Serjeant Wylde addressed the jury with great ingenuity and at some length, and called witnesses who proved that on the day in question about 8 o'clock in the evening, the plaintiff having taken his quantum of strong beer, went to Taylor's house, and used very insulting and abusive language towards him, upon which Taylor remonstrated with him, and advised him to go home; he then retired for a short time and returned again to the door of Taylor's house, and in a violent manner exclaimed, "now Taylor darest thou to put me in the chapel ?" at the same time using the most abusive language possible : the defendant Taylor again advised him to go home, otherwise he should be under the necessity of putting him into confinement; upon which, after the lapse of a few minutes, he challenged Taylor to fight, and putting himself in a fighting attitude endeavoured to force his way into him, Taylor's shop; the door was then shut to prevent his entering; the plaintiff then went away again for about ten minutes, when he returned, and used very violent & abusive language. Taylor again requested him to go home or he would most certainly put him in the chapel; the other defendants were at this time in the shop, the plaintiff still continued his abuse; the defendant Taylor then went out of the shop, and threw a cord round the plaintiff to confine his arms (the other defendants assisting) to prevent his striking them; they then took him to the lock-up house, and locked him up for the night; the next day (Sunday) the defendant, Taylor, took at magistrate to the lock-up house, when the plaintiff expressed his sorrow for what had taken place, and pleaded that he was in liquor at the time, and hoped the magistrate would discharge him; the magistrate then offered to discharge him if he provided good bail for his appearance on the Monday, but no bail being provided, he was locked up till the following morning, on which day he was taken before the same magistrate, who discharged him on his promising to conduct himself with more propriety in future, and appear if required to answer the charges that might be brought against him. The Jury found a verdict for the defendants.
There were but very few causes tried at our assizes, and not one by special jury. There was not, in fact, a single case of public importance.
Dorchester Assizes.- The Judges opened the commission of assize at Dorchester on Thursday afternoon, and then attended divine service. Their Lordships proceeded to business next morning. The following prisoners were tried and sentenced as under :-
Death.- Chas.Sims and John Bartlett alias Prior, for horse stealing at Wimborne.- John Andrews, for sheep-stealing at Motcombe.
14 Years Transportation - Geo.Culliford, for stealing a watch at Sherborne.
There were but 10 law causes for trial, none of which were of the least public interest.

Lately died Mrs.Loder, aged 33 years, wife of Mr.Samuel Loder, of Coombe Farm, Dorset.
On Wednesday last died at Green's Hotel, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, Lieut.Daniel Cox, R.N.

On Sunday the 6th inst. died at Shaftesbury, aged nine months, Frederick George, son of Mr.George W.Buckland, surgeon, of that place.
Died on Wednesday morning the 9th inst., at his house in Castle-street, the Rev.John Saffery, for 35 years pastor of the Baptist congregation assembling in Brown-street, in this city. Mr.Saffery was in the 63d year of his age; his athletic form and naturally robust constitution seemed to promise a much longer life, but a disease of the liver which had for some time been secretly undermining his strength, encreased upon him, notwithstanding all the remedies which medical skill could employ, till it terminated in his dissolution. By his family and numerous friends his loss will be long and severely felt, and most deeply deplored; and such was the sterling integrity and expansive benevolence of his character, that many beyond his immediate circle will unfeignedly regret his decease; but to himself the prospect of a blissful immortality proved more than sufficient to counter balance the pain of leaving his endeared relations; and the agonies of approaching dissolution, and the closing scenes of his useful and laborious life, added a fresh and powerful testimony to the truth and efficacy of those doctrines which had so long been the theme of his public ministry, and the foundation of his own hope towards God.

The LONDON WINE COMPANY had hoped ere this to have given their Hampshire and Wiltshire Friends a List of the Reduced Prices of Wines, consequent on the new arrangement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer; but the sensation in the Trade, caused by the reduction in the duties, is so great, as to prevent for a few days longer the arrangement being completed.
