On Tuesday a very interesting Cause, respecting Common Rights, was tried between Henry Wells, of Banham, Plaintiff, and Tho. Watling of Winfarthing, Defendant, on an Action brought by the Plaintiff, on Behalf of himself and the other Inhabitants of Banham against the Defendant, for his keeping and depasturing, upon the large Waste called Banham Heath, a very considerable Number of Sheep more than he could keep levant and couchant upon the Lands in his Occupation; when, after a Hearing of three Hours, the Jury found a Verdict for the Plaintiff, with Damages and Costs.

To the Printer of the NORFOLK CHRONICLE.
Henry Wells, of Banham, plaintiff - And Tho. Watling, of Winfarthing, defendant.

SIR,
As many of your Readers are in some degree interested in this cause, not only from the contradictory accounts given of it in your paper in the month of August last, but from the public nature of it, I hope it may not long be thought impertinent to inform them of the final determination thereof. - On Tuesday the 24th of last month, the point reserved by the defendant for the opinion of the Judges of the Com. Pleas came on to be argued before them, when after a very short hearing, they were unanimously of the opinion that the plaintiff ought to recover against defendant in this action, and plaintiff is thereby entitled to damages and costs in suit. The law, as laid down by all the Judges, being, that no commoner can legally keep more flock upon the common in the summer than he can well maintain in the winter, upon the lands for which he claims his right of commonage.
This plain short account of the matter, it is hoped, will not, (as heretofore) be deemed either partial or fallacious, and nothing more is meant by requesting you to insert it in your paper, than that it may be the means to deter others from the unreasonable surcharge of commons, by which practice such commons have been rendered of little or no value to the rest of the commoners.
I am, Sir,
Your old correspondent,
A Detester of Fallacy.

PRODIGIOUS OAK TREE. - Among the natural curiosities of the county of Norfolk, none is more singular or has perhaps been less noticed than the enormous tree in the parish of Winfarthing, A correspondent, who saw it last summer, has given us the following particulars respecting it: -
Its external circumference, taken where the tree is the smallest, is 35 feet 6 inches, and 40 feet where it is the largest. The internal circumference, as near as can be ascertained, is 31 feet; its diameter, which, owing to the irregularity of its surface, varies considerably, is from 10 to 13 feet. The average thickness of the trunk is about two feet, and the space of ground occupied by its projecting roots, includes a circle of more than 60 feet in extent. No calculation can be formed, with any certainty, respecting the age of this immense tree; it is supposed to be nearly a thousand years old, and from its present appearance there is some reason to suppose it has almost attained that period. It is quite hollow, and is capable of containing at least thirty persons, thirty-two weaning calves have been seen to come out of it. Every part of it is entirely dead, excepting a large arm over the entrance, which has a number of branches upon it, all thickly covered with leaves; another arm, containing two waggon loads of wood, was blown off in 1811; the loss of this has occasioned the tree to decline very much on the opposite side, and has caused several large clefts within side. Beneath the arm which is remaining, and beneath the place where the other was, the tree, is covered with bark, and ivy upon it, but in every other part it is quite bare.

EXECUTION. - On Saturday, Noah Peake and George Fortis, both late of Bressingham, were executed at the Castle, in Norwich, pursuant to their sentence for being concerned with William Baker, (who was admitted an evidence for the Crown) in setting fire to several stacks belonging to Mr. John Kent, of Diss, in the night of the 25th of February last. These are the only incendiaries who have been brought to justice in this county; and would possibly have still remained undiscovered if they had not been engaged in a riot and breaking the thrashing machine of Mr. R. Doggett, at Winfarthing, on the 28th of February, which led to their apprehension, and ultimately to subjecting these two unhappy men to the heaviest sentence of the law. They both leave families to bewail their ignominious end.

We regret to state that some daring outrages have been the consequences of the want of employment in the parishes of Tibenham and Winfarthing. In the night of Saturday week a number of unemployed, and almost all single men, wreaked their vengeance on the overseers, by sawing through every other spoke of the new wheels of a waggon, belonging to Mr. Edmund Bale, of the former place ; breaking open the chaise-house, destroying a pipe of cider, and breaking and sawing into pieces two gigs, one of them quite new, on the premises of Mr. Hart, and cutting into pieces gates and ploughs on the premises of Messrs. Doggett, Woods, Humphries, and Pretty, &c. The parishes have offered a reward of 50l. for the apprehension of the offenders, and to that the Earl of Albemarle has added 20l. Seven men have been apprehended.

D’Eye Betts, and John Ayton, Esq. with having occasioned the fire at Mr. Doggett’s, and after a long investigation were committed for further examination. Robert Hubbard, one of the prisoners, made a discovery of an extensive system of sheep-stealing, which had for a considerable time past been carried on by the other prisoners, in conjunction with several whom he named, and accounted for the disappearance of more than twenty sheep, which had at different times been stolen, and for which rewards bad been offered in vain. He pointed out the places where the skins bad been deposited and which were consequently discovered, whereupon Francis Mollett and Robert Dixon, both of Winfarthing, labourers, were apprehended, and on Saturday morning were committed to the Castle, on a violent suspicion of being concerned in stealing two sheep - one the property of Mr. Bale, of Tibenham, and the other the property of Mr. John Gall, of New Buckenham.

FIRES. - . . . . . Early in the morning of Wednesday se’nnight, a most dreadful fire took place at Winfarthing Lodge, occupied by Mr. Doggett. It began at the neat-house, and from thence communicated to and consumed all the outbuildings, except the stable, two large barns, bullock sheds, and piggery, with about twenty coombs of wheat, and forty coombs of oats. Seven weanling calves a cow, and some two-year olds, perished in the flames. It is supposed to have been the act of an incendiary. Both buildings and stock are insured. The engine from Diss attended, but to little purpose, for almost as soon as it arrived at the spot a new India rubber pipe was so much injured by some malicious person as to become useless. The buildings were the property of the Earl of Albemarle, whose kindness to the poor of that parish during the last winter, as on previous years, in supplying them with coals, would, we should have thought, have secured to him the protection rather than the destruction of his property. On the next evening, C. Green, William Ebbum, and R. Hubbard, were taken up on suspicion of the above atrocious act; the last named man made some very important discoveries, particularly of a long series of sheep stealing in the neighbourhood. Twenty-one cases, two only of which were gone into, upon which F. Mollett and R. Dixon, labourers, both of Winfarthing, were apprehended and committed to Norwich Castle. The three former were remanded for further examination.

THE LATE STORM.
On Thursday afternoon a thunder-storm occurred of unusual violence, which apparently overspread the whole of the north-western and eastern district of the county of Suffolk. Rain and hail-stones of great magnitude descended in torrents, and the wind blowing furiously, occasioned severe destruction to the corn crops, many of which are nearly levelled with the ground; the lightning was incessant.

At Winfarthing the windows of the church and a number of houses were broken by hail, and the corn in that neighbourhood was greatly injured.

On one occasion, about two years ago, when she arrived at the Diss office in the midst of snow and sleet, with her clothes frozen to her back, Mr. Williams, the postmaster, inquired why she did not remain at home on such a day. The reply of the old centenarian was curious - “When she sat over the fire, her bones ache.” Her husband, to whom she was married in the reign of George the Second, died about 30 years ago. She was very faithful to all her employers, executed all their commissions with the greatest care, and her veracity was unimpeachable.

A cow which had lately calved was burnt in the neat-house. The dwelling-house caught fire twice, but was saved. The damage is supposed to be about 400£. or 500£.

A PARALLEL TO THE SKYRACK OAK. The gigantic relic of the sylvan glories of the “olden time,” called the Winfarthing Oak, stands on the estate of the Right Hon. the Earl of Albemarle, - about four miles from his seat at Quiddenham Hall, Winfarthing, near Diss, Norfolk; in the midst of what was formerly £ldquo;Winfarthing Great Park,” anciently a Royal demesne, belonging to the adjacent Palace of Kenninghall-PIace, from whence Mary, of unhappy memory, was called to the throne in 1553. It is conjectured that this tree must have been in existence before the Christian era; and this opinion is strengthened by the fact, that, notwithstanding the obvious ravages of time upon its massive trunk, yet no perceptible alteration has taken place within the last sixty years. The oak was, in 1820, 70 feet in circumference at the extremity of the roots ; in the middle, 40 feet. The trunk is completely hollow, the “heart” being entirely decayed; and the inside presenting a singular appearance, resembling the old rugged masonry befitting a Druidical temple.

Jan. 28.- (Before T. S. Fryer and Gilbert Ansley, Esqs., Revs. J. Linton and Edwd. Baines.) - John Humphry, (who stated he came from Winfarthing, Norfolk,) drover, was charged with uttering two counterfeit crown pieces at Ramsey. It appeared that on Saturday evening he went to Mr. Storer’s shop and asked for some tobacco, which she did not sell. He then asked for some cheese, which came to two-pence halfpenny, and tendered a crown piece, which Mrs. Storer sent out to get changed. He then went to Mr. Bateman’s, and there tendered another, which a Miss Beaumont changed; but having a suspicion, she demanded the goods and change, which she received back. She then examined the one she had changed for Storer’s little girl, and found it to be bad. - Miss Beaumont and Storer’s little girl deposed to the above statements being true. P.c. Simpkin took the prisoner into custody, and on searching him found a counterfeit crown piece in his hand. - He was fully committed for trial at the assizes.

The Rev. R. Hart, Vicar of Catton, Norfolk, said last week, in a lecture at Norwich , on the “Shrines of Norfolk,” that in a chapel at the upper end of the parish church at Winfarthing a sword was preserved called the “Good Sword of Winfarthing.” One of its properties was &ldquo,that when the yoke of matrimony galled a woman, or, to speak less metaphorically, a wife wished to be a widow, she need only resort to this sword, burn a light before it for twelve months, and her wish would be accomplished. The omission however of a single day broke the charm. A suspicious husband, if he examined his chandler’s bill, could easily avert his impending fate.&rdquo,

DISS, December 16.
Show of Christmas Beef. - Mr. Edward Plummer, butcher, Diss, exhibited in the Market-place on Friday last six very superior bullocks; 4 of these, 3 steers and a heifer, were half-bred shorthorns, fattened by Francis Oddin Taylor, Esq., Winfarthing, and were supposed to weigh upwards of 100 stone each; they were very neat, of good symmetry, and well filled up in all points. The other two were over-yeared homebred bullocks, fattened by Mr. Woodcock, Bressingham, and estimated at upwards of 100 stone each. They were remarkable for the smallness of their bone, and the immense quantity of profitable meat they carried. The entire lot was greatly admired by the graziers attending the market, and it rarely falls to the lot of a butcher in a provincial town to have it in his power to offer to his customers such a prime lot of Christmas beef.

THE EARL OR ALBEMARLE AND HARVEST HOMES.
The Earl of Albemarle bas reappeared as a harvest home reformer at a meeting held at Winfarthing, near Diss, Norfolk. The noble lord’s exertions in the same capacity last year were frequently noticed in the standard. Addressing a party of labourers with their wives and children, the noble earI observed - “At Banham I said that largess had heard its death-knell, and I think after the meeting we have seen to-day, and the descriptions of other meetings which we have read in the papers, that that prophecy is verified. A hundred years ago - and I am afraid a much shorter time since, there was an expression very common, ‘as drank as a lord.’ It was a true proverb, for there were very few sober lords in those days. Now, however, the only drunken lords are the ‘lords of the harvest;’ and I hope that henceforth it will be as difficult to find a drunken harvest lord as a drunken parliamentary lord. I am very happy to preside over a harvest home on my own estate. I find that landlords are constantly taking the place which I occupy, and when I mention landlords may I mention landladies? In my own immediate neighbourhood the Hon. Mrs. Molyneux Montgomery - a lady whose name carries with it a respect to which all will bear witness - has attended three harvest homes on three separate nights on her own estate and I hope the lords of the creation will take care to imitate the example of the ladies of the creation. I have had the misfortune, as all public men have the misfortune, to be very much misunderstood. People have been led to suppose that in presiding over that great monster tea-meeting in the neighbouring parish of Banham, I considered toast, bread and butter, and tea were sufficient for harvestmen, and I believe I have been referred to at some public meetings as having advocated such a doctrine. Merely to set myself right with the labouring classes I will just read a sentence from the published report of my speech at Banham. I said, - ‘We must do away with the present disgraceful system of largess. We don't want to put a stop to a man’s rational enjoyment - we don't want to interfere with his beef, his pudding, and his ale, but let him use all these things in moderation, and let him go home sober.’ That is, my friends, what I wish to say. I wish you to use, and not to abuse, God’s gifts. One point more. Let me express the gratification I feel in presiding over a meeting at which, if anything, women predominate. I always feel more at home when I have got the ladies about me. It is on their account and on account of their children that I have denounced the disgraceful system of men getting drunk at the alehouse and leaving their children starving at home. But, women, you also have a duty to perform, and mind you do it - make your homes agreeable; make the attractions of home so great that your husbands will not wish to go to the public-house.” After some further observations, the health of the noble earl was proposed by the minister of the pariah, the Rev. S. W. Bourne, and drunk amid loud cheers.

The Winfarthing Oak, in Norfolk, is 70 feet in circumference, the trunk quite hollow, and the cavity large enough to bold at least 30 persons. This remarkable tree is said to have been called the “Old Oak” at the time of William the Conqueror. Mr. South, in one of his letters to the Bath Society (vol. x.), calculates that an Oak tree 47 feet in circumference cannot be less than 1500 years old; and Mr. Marsham calculates the Bentley Oak, from its girthing 34 feet, to be the same age. Now, an inscription on a brass plate affixed to the Winfarthing Oak gives the following as its dimensions: “This Oak in circumference at the extremities of the roots is 70 feet, iv the middle 40 feet; 1820.” Now there can be no reason, if the size of the rind is to be any criterion of age, why the Winfarthing should not at least equal the Bentley Oak, and if so it would be upwards of 700 years old at the Conquest. It is now a mere shell - a mighty ruin bleached to a snowy white.

SPECIAL SESSIONS.
Serious charge of Housebreaking, at Winfarthing. -
Ellis Coleman, labourer, and Aaron Banham, bricklayer, were charged with breaking and entering the house of William Bobby, of Winfarthing, in the afternoon of Sunday, the 13th inst., and stealing fourteen £5 notes, one old guinea, an old crown piece, two old half-crowns, one old shilling, and two old sixpences.
Mr. Bobby, with his wife, left home about two o’clock in the afternoon, to attend chapel, about a quarter of a mile distant. On his way, Bobby saw the prisoner Coleman near his home. When he returned, about four o’clock, he discovered his house had been broken into during his absence, by breaking the parlour window and, on making search, found that the money mentioned above, which he had left safe in a chest in his bedroom, had been stolen. He immediately gave information at Diss, to the police, who succeeded in apprehending the prisoner Coleman the same evening, with the old shilling in his possession. On the following day, the prisoner Banham went to Diss, and thence to Pulham, in company with Coleman’s mother and sister, in search after Coleman. On their way from Pulham to Winfarthing, the prisoner told the mother, in presence of her daughter, that he would tell her all about it, if she would not “spout.” He then said - “I and Doddle (meaning the prisoner Coleman) got the money: and if I could see him, and say two words to him, we should be all right. I wish I could put my head on his shoulders.” He also showed them an old crown piece. The mother said - “If you will put the money altogether, so that Mr. Bobby can find it, I will not say anything about it:” and he agreed to do so, but afterwards said “We have got the money, and we will stick to it ; I can put on another suit of clothes, and go to London, and get the notes changed.” On the following day the prisoner Banham was taken into custody. On Thursday morning the prisoner Coleman went with Superintendent Witherford and policeman Bouttel, to a field near Mr. Bobby’s house, and took from the fence a purse containing fourteen £5 notes, and gave it to Bouttel, and said - “This is what we got from Mr. Bobby’s. Banham took the old guinea and five-shilling piece: the other silver I threw into Mr. Palmer’s pit, which is a very large one.” This pit has been emptied, but nothing found, there being so much mud.
The examination of the witnesses lasted nearly six hours, after which the prisoners were fully committed for trial at the next quarter sessions at Norwich. The prisoner Coleman pleaded guilty, and stated full particulars of how the robbery was committed.

PAGE WOODCOCK’S WIND PILLS.
Twenty Years of Suffering cured by
Page Woodcock’s Wind Pills.
Copy of a letter from Mr. Thomas Everett,
Winfarthing, Norfolk, dated June 20, 1861.
MR. WOODCOCK. - Dear Sir, I beg to add my testimony to the efficacy of PAUL WOODCOCK’S WIND PILLS. My wife had been afflicted for about twenty years with pain in the stomach and body: the violent belchings of wind were so dreadful that she might be heard all over the house, and indeed her life was almost a misery to her, the pain being so great and so frequent. She has sometimes quite wished for death to put an end to her sufferings. On three occasions after violent spasms in the stomach, she vomited great deal of blood, at one time from three to four pints. She applied to various Medical men, but to no purpose. they did her no good. Seeing one of your advertisements I resolved to get her to try your celebrated “WIND PILLS.” Atter the first dose she obtained a comfortable night’s rest, and gradually got better. and is now quite well. She has had no return of the bleeding, and does not suffer with wind, and eats two or three times as much as she did before. Wishing you every success with these invaluable Pills.
I remain, dear Sir, yours truly.
THOMAS EVERETT.

Capture of a Thief. - On Friday afternoon (the 29th ult.) Thomas Love, of New Buckenham, a pensioner who travels the country with a donkey and cart, under the pretence of dealing in marine stores, called at the Rampant Horse inn, at Diss Heywood, and was served with some beer. As soon as he had left the house, Mr. Robert Browne, the landlord, missed a tumbler from the table in his tap-room, and at once suspected Love. He therefore followed him, and on overtaking him Love emphatically declared his innocence, but Mr. Browne, on searching the cart, found the stolen property. He at once took Love back to the Rampant Horse, and sent for a policeman, who took Love into custody, and conveyed him before the Rev. C. R. Manning, who remanded him till Wednesday last. In his coat pocket was found a brass candlestick, which he said he had bought the same morning at Attleborough, but the police ascertained that it had been stolen the same morning from Winfarthing Fighting Cocks, at which place the prisoner called on his way from Buckenham to Diss. On Wednesday he was again brought up at Diss before the Rev. H. T. Frere and Dr. Curteis, when he pleaded guilty to both charges, and was sentenced to twenty-one days hard labour for each offence.

DISS COUNTY COURT,
Monday, October 9.
(Before John Worlledge. Esq., Judge.)
DISPUTED LIABILITY.
Banham v. Bourne. - This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a builder, at Winfarthing, to recover from the defendant, a gentleman of independent means, residing at Babergh Hall, near Sudbury, the sum of £50 for work done and materials used for the same, provided in the alteration and repairs of a cottage, the property of the defendant, situated at Winfarthing. The plaintiff's demand consisted of two parts; and he abandoned 18s. 9d., the excess over the £50, to bring it within the jurisdiction of this Court.
The circumstances out of which this case arose were very melancholy. The defendant’s son was for many years the curate of Winfarthing, and in the early part of this year, while employed in the faithful discharge of his ministerial duties in visiting the sick, he caught small-pox of a very virulent nature, of which he died, leaving a widow and several children almost totally unprovided for. After her husband’s death the poor widow wished to remain at Winfarthing, and, although somewhat against the defendant’s wishes, it was arranged that certain alterations should be made in the cottage referred to, which is the defendant’s property, to fit it for his daughter-in-law’s residence. Mrs. Bourne, the widow, accordingly applied to a plumber and glazier, named Foyster, to make an estimate for certain work in his line to be done at the cottage, and to get Banham, the plaintive, to make an estimate for bricklayers’ and carpenters’ work, also to be done at the cottage; and Mrs. Bourne, Foyster, and Banham went over the cottage together, and the work required was pointed out and the estimates made, and Foyster took both his own and the plaintiff’s estimate to the Rectory, where Mrs. Bourne was then living, and delivered the estimate to her in the presence of the defendant and his daughter, when defendant said he would take them and look them over, which he did. This took place in February last, and shortly afterwards Mrs. Bourne directed Banham and Foyster to set to work, which they did, but nothing was expressly said as to who was to pay for it. Various other work beyond that included in the plaintiff’s estimate, was done in and about the cottage, by Mrs. Bourne’s orders, Mr. Bourne living at a distance, and being seldom present on the premises. In three instances Mr. Bourne interfered, and gave orders for certain work to be done. After the bill was made out, the plaintiff offered it to defendant, but he refused to take it, and utterly repudiated all liability to the plaintiff for any part of the work, and the defence at the trial was; at first, that the poor widow was liable for the whole, and that the whole was done by her order, and upon her credit: but the defendant, who conducted his own case, in the course of it, admitted that he was liable for what was included in the original estimate for £16 2s. 4d., and also for that which in the course of the work, he personally gave orders for. Mrs. Bourne, the widow, was also examined, and she said she had the defendant’s permission to have all done that she wished, but that she considered herself personally responsible for all the work; but when asked from what source she expected to be able to pay the bills, she said she hoped her friends would help her.
His Honour said: I wonder at the defendant attempting by such evidence to shift the burden from his own shoulders to those of the destitute widow, but it will not avail him, for, considering that he is the owner of the cottage, I am of opinion that by his conduct with reference to, and by admitting his liability for what was intended in the original estimate, and by interfering as he did in the course of the work, he held himself out as being responsible. I, therefore, decide the case in the plaintiff’s favour; and as no evidence was called for the defence to show that the demand is exorbitant, I give judgment for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, with costs.

RATHER SHARP PRACTICE.
Samuel Hart, farmer, Winfarthing, v. Sarah Wright, widow. This was a claim of £4 6s. for damage done to a house.
Defendantrsquo;s husband died in 1865, and she left the house at Michaelmas, 1866, having paid the rent up to that time,-but neglected, to give the legal notice to quit. It was also alleged that defendant had taken down some shelving, door posts, and other matters.
Mrs. Wright said her husband put up the shelving and the door posts and she therefore thought they were her property.
Plaintiff said he merely wished to show his tenants that-they could not leave just when they liked. The house stood empty from Michaelmas, 1866, to Michaelmas, 1867, and he never tried to let it. He also boarded up the windows.
His Honour thought plaintiff might have done better than by selecting a widow to make an example of, and as he had exercised an ownership by boarding of the windows, the rent would be disallowed.
Judgment for £1 for the; shelving, &c, at 2s. per month.

BANHAM.
MARRIAGE FESTIVITIES.-This usually quiet village was on Thursday last the scene of an interesting excitement, in consequence of the celebration of the marriage of Miss Alice Lydia Fardell, third daughter of the Rev. J. G. Fardell, rector of the parish, with the Rev. Ellice Keppel, rector of the parish of Winfarthing. By a very early hour some of the parishioners, to show their high appreciation of a young lady who is beloved by all who know her. had erected a floral arch across the road leading from the Rectory to the Church gates, having on the East face the motto, “God bless the happy pair!” and on the West, “May health and happiness attend you!” whilst across the Church gates was suspended a wreath in the shape of a monogram, forming the initials of the bride and bridegroom. A white flag floated from the Church spire, the bells rang out their merry peals, all indicating the nature of the day’s festivities. By half-past ten the Church was filled to overflowing, and soon after eleven all the invited guests having arrived, the bridegroom, accompanied by his “best man,” took his place before the altar, supported by five groomsmen, grouped on either side; ten bridesmaids at the same time ranged themselves, and upon the arrival of the bride, escorted by her father, she was received by the clergy, who led the procession up the aisle, followed by the bridesmaids, two and two, and the whole effect was most pleasing. The ceremony was performed by the Ven. Archdeacon Hopper, assisted by the Rev. C. R. Manning, rector of Diss, and the Rev. Temple Frere, rector of Burston. The service was semi-choral, and before the final exhortation, the Anthem from the 133rd Psalm was sung by the Banham choir. Upon leaving the Church the wedding party passed through a double row of school children, who bestrewed the path with wild flowers. The children then repaired to the Rectory grounds, and having been supplied with refreshments and giving three hearty cheers, they bade their friends and teachers farewell. The breakfast was laid out in a spacious marquee, upon the lawn, and was of the most recherche description. The bridal gifts were numerous, and some of them very costly, presented by the members of both families. A silver salver was given io the bridegroom, by the parishioners of his parish, on which was engraved “Presented by the parishioners of Winfarthing, to the Rev. Ellice Keppel, on the occasion of his marriage, with even kind wish for his future happiness and prosperity, April 27th, 1871.” A gilt inkstand was also given by the Winfarthing school children, and a handsome silver cruet stand, by the boys of the Banham upper School. Many other gifts were also given to the bride by ladies of the parish. Upwards of seventy guests accepted invitations to be present at the sumptuous breakfast, and the whole day passed off with proverbial pleasantness “merry as marriage bells.”

Fire. - Destruction or Farm Premises. - An alarming fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Stephen Barler, Winfarthing, yesterday (Friday) afternoon. All the premises were destroyed, including a barn, containing the produce of two large stacks of wheat. The dwelling house and a portion of the stables however, though they caught fire twice, were saved by the action of the fire engines from Banham. The origin of the fire was the careless use of lucifer matches by a boy.

REPAIRING A PUMP.
William Limmer, well sinker, Dickleburgh, v. William Woodrow, miller, Winfarthing. - Action to recover £15 4s.
Defendant admitted £9.
Mr. Lyus appeared for plaintiff.
Plaintiff stated that he was engaged by defendant in October last to open and clean out a well; after performing that work defendant agreed that he should enlarge the well, and a contract was made for that work. Nothing was said in the contract about the materials to be used. A lot of new piping and some oak stays was required to set the well going after it was enlarged.
David Chilvers, foreman, in plaintiff’s employ, said that after the contract was completed, defendant said he would get a plumber named Fisher, to put in and repair the pipes. He told him that Limmer did that sort of work, and it was agreed they should do it. After the job was done defendant expressed himself well satisfied, and recommended them to another party.
Defendant stated that in the contract for £9 everything was to be included. When the bill was brought he expressed his surprise, and after some talk he offered him £10, which plaintiff refused, and said to save further trouble he would take £11.
Defendant’s son said he heard plaintiff say he would take £11.
Plaintiff and his men denied this.
His Honour said that one party thought the contract one thing, and the other another, which made it no contract at all. After going through the items, he observed that they required a little taxing, and ultimately gave judgment for £14 12s, 10d., advising defendant another time to have contracts reduced to writing.

THE STRIKE AMONGST THE AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS. - About 200 labourers of Winfarthing and the adjoining parishes met at the Royal Oak Inn, on Tuesday evening, with the view of obtaining an increased number of members for the Old Buckenham Union. The chair was occupied by a blind elderly man named George Potter. There were several speakers, each of whom spoke of the desirability of unity amongst the labourers for their mutual protection and benefit. It was denied that the farmers were unable to pay a higher rate of wage, one speaker advising the farmers to give up the horses they used for hunting and steeple-chasing, and to let their daughters do the dairy work as in olden times. This same speaker said he could remember when corn fetched 16s. a coomb of 22 stones, and when stock did not realise half what it did now, and the farmer could then afford to pay 1s. 10d. per day. A man named George Ellis said their masters threatened to turn them all off at Old Buckenham if they joined the Union. His master sent him going, and afterwards sent for him, but he told him he would not go unless he paid him 16s. per week, and he would not go for that now. At that place 440 men had joined the Union, and he thought they would shortly get 100 members. The entrance fee was 6d. and the weekly payments 2d., and any one joining them would have to pay from the time the Union commenced, which would be 1s. 3d. altogether. He advised them not to be afraid of their masters. He was at present earning 15s. a-week and did not work so hard as he had done previously. Other speakers spoke of the hardship they had suffered, one stated that he had carried a piece of cheese in his pocket a whole week being afraid to eat it, as he did not know where the next piece was to come from; and a second stated that his wife had had twelve children, and when he got home at night he had only bread and not enough of that. The gnawings of hunger had been some times so unbearable that he had prayed God to take away his appetite. A show of hands was then taken of those who wished to join the Old Buckenham Union, and a goodly number responded to the call, and their names having been duly recorded, the meeting broke up.

WINFARTHING.
The parish Church, which has been for many years in a moat dilapidated state, has been in a great measure thoroughly restored by the rector, the Rev. Ellice Keppell, whose one and only aim (since he became Rector of the parish) has been to beautify the Tabernacle of the Most High, and render it decent for the due performance of public worship. In this great work, the expense of which has been chiefly borne by himself, his efforts have been most successful. The greater part of the work has been done by Mr. W. Ludkin, of Banham, to whom much credit is due for the excellent workmanship. On Monday, the weather being favourable, a vast number of the parishioners and strangers assembled within its walls, and, amidst prayers and praises, offered up their thanksgivings to God for the recent ingathering of harvest. The sermon in the afternoon was preached by the Rev. F. De Chair, curate of Morley, who made an eloquent discourse from the following words: “I was glad when they said unto me, We will go into the house of the Lord.” In the evening, the Rev. Clement Smith, rector of Shelfanger, preached an earnest and impressive sermon from the words: “I will offer unto Thee fat burnt sacrifices of fatlings with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats.” (Ps. lxvi. 15.) Both services were full choral, and prayers were intoned by the Revs. Cooper and Rivett. The Rev. A. W. L. Rivett’s choir, of St. Martins’s-at-Palace, Norwich, attended, and acquitted themselves most efficiently ; and here we must not omit a word of praise to the two boys who sang various solos and duets, and also to Mr. Love, the leading bass, their singing being of a first-class, character. Mr. Gaff, assistant-organist of Norwich Cathedral, presided at the harmonium with his usual ability. Among the clergy present were the Rector, Dr. Walcot, Revs. Todd, Cooper, Rivett, Keppell, De Chair, Thompson, Smith, Cholmonley, Humphrey, Manning, Hose, &c.

Mr. Lyus appeared for the plaintiff ; the defendant had no legal representative. - The plaintiff deposed that in June last he sold defendant ten lambs at 29s. 6d. each, the total amounting to 14l. 15s. The lambs were drawn the same day; and some eight or nine days afterwards he went for the money, when defendant paid him 13l. 5s., being the price of nine lambs only, less 6d. The money was paid in two 5l. bank notes, three sovereigns, and 5s. in silver. This was on a Monday, when plaintiff had no other gold in his purse. On Tuesday he took no money at all; and being at Bury on Wednesday, he went into the Waggon Inn with two friends and called for three glasses of ale, handing in payment one of the sovereigns received from the defendant, which the waitress handed back to him in consequence of its being bad. Next day he went and saw the defendant, to whom he gave the bad sovereign, but who declined to give him another one for it, or to pay the remaining 30s. due on the ten lambs. In cross-examination by defendant plaintiff admitted that he had offered to compromise the matter rather than go to law; but his Honour remarked that that proved nothing, for a very good Book had given very good advice, “Agree with thine adversary quickly whiles thou art in the way with him,” and the plaintiff might simply have been trying to act upon it. - John Bower, plaintiff’s bailiff, confirmed his master’s account of the bargain: and Joseph Prentice, an intelligent boy in his service, deposed to accompanying his master on the occasion of his going for payment of the lambs, when he saw defendant hand him separately two 5l. notes, three sovereigns, and 5s. in silver, which later he placed on the cushion of plaintiff’s gig. - In resisting the action defendant asserted in the most positive that he paid plaintiff 14l. 15s. in two 5l. notes, four sovereigns, and 15s. in silver. Plaintiff afterwards handed him the bad sovereign, which he refused to accept, as it was dangerous to have a spurious coin in his possession. - Defendant’s wife, and William Brown and James Baldry, more or less corroborated this version of the affair. His Honour said that on the strength of the boy Prentice’s evidence alone he should give judgment for the plaintiff, believing, as the lad had stated, that only 13l. 5s. was paid, and that one of the three sovereigns was bad. The usual costs would follow. - The defendant protested that the case had been decided against him by means of “downright perjury;” to which his Honour responded that if that were so, he had his remedy by criminal proceedings.
