Dorking Petty Session - - In answer to Sir Leopold Heath, defendant said he was now a first-class stoker, and had been so about three months, earning 2s. a day. - Sir Leopold, in announcing the judgment of the Bench, told defendant he had done very properly in confessing his guilt and expressing his sorrow, but it would have been more honest and straight-forward on his part if, instead of saying he touched the communicator accidentally, he had said he did it for a lark (Defendant: I was skylarking, sir) Defendant might thank the representative of the company for having induced the Magistrates to let him off so easily. It was a serious thing, and might be productive of much mischief, and he advised hm not to play practical jokes again. As it was, he must consider himself very lucky to escape with a fine of 5s. and costs. - Defendant was allowed to return to his ship on promising to forward the amount by post-office order when he got back.

At a special sessions on Saturday, before Admiral Sir Leopold Heath, Col. de Cetto, and Mr Powell, William Sylvester, a respectably-dressed lad, of good connections, and who seemed to feel his position deeply, was brought up, charged with stealing a bag value 5s. and a purse containing a £10 Bank of England note, £5in gold, and some silver, the property of Dora Cazelet, daughter of William Clement Cazelet Esq., of Greenhurst, Capel. - - -
The prisoner had, however, shown by his lying statements that his conscience was hardened, and that he would stick at nothing to avoid the punishment so justly due to him.
The Bench would, however, only award two months imprisonment wiht hard labour, instead, of the maximum amount of six months, and hoped, that as this was his first offence, it would be a lesson to him, and that it would be his last. Mrs Cazelet, Miss Cazelet, and the maid were deeply affected at the sentence, and condoled with the father and friends of the prisoner. The Chairman said the Bench were of opinion that the guard of the train in question should have stopped a minute or two. They thought that the guard behaved very bad.

Dorking - BROCKHAM ROSE SHOW AT BURY HILL. —The seventeenth annnual exhibition of the Brockham Rose Association was, by the kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Barclay, held in the beautiful grounds of Bury Mill, on Saturday last. The society have much to be thankful for in regard to the favourable weather they generally enjoy, for during the whole period of its existence there have only been three wet days on the occasion of the exhibition, but certainly a better day than Saturday could scarcely be imagined, and as a natural consequence a very large and fashionable company was attracted. As regards the show, every year there are signs of a growing interest in the cultivation of the queen of flowers in this neighbourhood, and both as regards quantity and quality of the exhibits, Saturday’s show has not been surpassed.
The tent was placed to the left of the beautiful lake in front of the house, and was well filled, the staging having been done under the superintendence of Mr. Appleby, of the Box Hill Nurseries. Lady Legge secured the highest honours of the day for the best rose in the show, with a beautiful specimen of La Rosiere, a tea rose ; and G. G. Stone, Esq., obtained the gold medal for the best six trusses of any kind, and Miss Fuller succeeded in obtaining the two first prizes for the brace bouquet and button-hole bouquet.
Mr. Appleby lent for exhibition some exquisite specimens of the Countess Oxford, Paul Neron, Duke of Wellington, Niphetus, and other rare varieties, and his Ann Aliviere was the bloom adjudged the best rose in the show, though be did not compete. He presented his collection to Mrs. Barclay, who forwarded them to St. Thomas’s Hospital. The prizes, some which were very costly, were displayed in a very artistic manner at the end of the tent.
Amongst the company present in the afternoon we noticed Mr. and Mrs. Barclay, Mr. H. P. Grissell and Mrs. Grissell, M. Rhode Hawkins, Esq., and Mrs. Hawkins, G. A. Fuller, Esq., and the Miss Fullers, Sir Leopold Heath, Douglas Heath, Esq., Captain Lacey, Capt. Lang, Dr. Clarke, A. Lee Steere, Esq., Col. Calvert and the Miss Calverts, Mrs. Benecke, Hon. H. D.

Financial Meetings. Central Bank of London
This afternoon the thirty-ninth ordinary general meeting of this company was held at St.Michael's Hall, Lombard St, Sir Leopold Heath in the chair.
The report stated that the profit and loss account showed a gross profit, including the sum brought forward from the previous half year, of £34,843 5s. 1d. and the deducting therefrom the usual charges, and also writing off an adequate sum from the amount expended on the premises, there remained a balance of £16,659 16s. 9d.
The directors, therefore, recommended that a dividend be paid at the rate of £10 per cent, per annum; that £6,250 be added to the reserve fund, which would then stand at £77, 500; and that the surplus, amounting to £4,159 16s. 9d., be carried forward to profit and loss new account.
The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, observed that it was a pleasant thing to meet the proprietors with such a cheering report as the one before them,and they were able to show them a difference of £127,043 in their current accounts. Their customers also showed an increase of 8 per cent. The shareholders would see by their assets taht the bank was very strong in funds, the cash at the Bank of England amounting to £230,488 14s. 8d. cast at call to £300,000, and investments to £168,756 5s.
There had only been an increase of £232 in their expenses over the corresponding half year. Their net profits were £11,565 or £18 10s. per cent. per annum. Two new branches had been opened, and it was expected that the establishment of these additional premises would greatly facilitate and increase the business of the bank.
Mr George Heath seconded the motion, which, after a few complimentary remarks from some of the proprietors, was unanimously adopted, and the meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the chairman for presiding.

To the Editor of the Standard.
Sir, - My attention has been drawn to your issue of the 26th inst. in which appears a letter from Sir Leopold Heath, headed, "Close Shaving." In his remarks therein about the Holyhead I should have expected an officer of Sir Leopold's standing and experience would have been sure of the facts before passing a condemnation on those in charge of the Holyhead, which the Court before whom the case was tried did not do so. I have the shorthand writers's notes before me as I write, to refresh my memory: and it was proved before the Court that the Holyhead's helm was put hard a-starboard when the Alhambra's light was first seen, and kept so up to the actual collision, the helm being hard a-starboard when she struck.
The remarks, therefore, in Sir Leopold's letter about the officer in charge of the Holyhead are pure assumption, in conflict with fact.
Again, we have a fancy picture of the careful Commander of the Alhambra personally directing the movements of his ship, and watching the Holyhead throughout with his glasses. What are the facts as shown in evidence? The master was below, and the mate went down to report the Holyhead's masthead light as a bright shore light. When he came on deck he walked to leeward, and immediately ordered the helm to be put hard up, lowering the spanker with his own hands. A ship heading west on the port tack, with a steamer approaching on her starboard side, does not come round in the "last moment," as imagined by Sir Leopold's letter, so that the steamer heading at the time ENE strikes her nearly at right angles on her port beam.
The Court found that had the Alhambra kept her course no collision would have occurred; that, from the evidence before the Court, her bearing up was unjustifiable; that everything done on board the Holyhead was right and proper, save that when the collision was imminent (owing to the Alhambra bearing up) the officer in charge reversed one instead of both engines. - an error in judgment on his part so slight, under the circumstances, as not to justify the Court in dealing with his certificate.
I venture to think that if Sir Leopold had had the whole facts to the case before him he would have come to the same conclusion.
I am Sir, your obedient servant., Chas. C. Dent, Rear Admiral, Superintendent, Marine Department, L.and N.W. Ry., Holyhead. - December 28.
