TRIAL TRIP OF THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAMSHIP AUSTRALIA: This fine vessel, which was added to the Peninsular and Oriental Company’s fleet some six weeks ago, and which has made one voyage to Alexandria and back, was taken to Stokes-bay on Wednesday for a trial at the measured mile, under the command of Captain R. Methven, previous to her being despatched to India for service on that station. Since her return from the Mediterranean, she has been fitted with a new four-bladed screw, 17ft. 6in. in diameter, and 23ft. to 25ft. pitch, and the alteration has produced the most satisfactory results, adding to the previous good rate of speed of the ship. She made two runs on the mile, there being no wind and no tide at the time, the first of which was accomplished in 4min. 22 secs., equal to 13.748 knots per hour, and the second in 4min. 18 secs., or 13.953 knots, the true mean of the two being 13.850 knots; revolutions of engines, 59; pressure of steam, 40 lb; vacuum, 26. … (continues) … The party on board at Wednesday’s trial included Messrs.

Southampton Town Council: A meeting of this Council was held at the Audit-house on Wednesday afternoon, when there were present the mayor (Alderman Perkins) in the chair; Aldermen Emanuel and Furber; Mr. Senior-Bailiff G. P. Perkins; Councillors Le Feuvre, Aldridge, Davie, Chipperfield, Scovell, Abraham, Martin, Payne, Bishop, and Hickman. Mr. H. J. Pinsent, Mr. W. F. Maund, and Mr. Osmond were present as a deputation: THE WATER SUPPLY TO AND DRAINAGE OF PORTSWOOD: The Town Clerk read a communication from Mr. T. Taylor, of the Local Government Act Office, enclosing one from Mr. W. F. Maund, of Portswood, a Guardian of South Stoneham, addressed to the Secretary of State, complaining that whereas the inhabitants of Portswood, Bevois-valley and St. Deny’s were paying borough rates, and for a nuisance inspector, to the Southampton Town Council, these districts were without any drainage, except into dead wells, the consequence being that the water in the live wells was in numerous instances rendered unfit for use through percolation, and the consequences might prove most disastrous should any epidemic arise, particularly in St. Deny’s, where the population was large and poor … (continues) … Mr. Davis moved, and Mr. Hickman seconded, that the matter be referred to the Special and General Works Committee. Mr. Le Feuve said he might remind the deputation and the Council that when the subject was discussed at a public meeting at Highfield Mr. Pinsent and himself were thoroughly hooted down because they wished to introduce health and happiness into the place at a small increase in the rates. This was in no doubt a crucial question with regard to Portswood, and if the existing representatives of the tything expressed themselves in favour of introducing the Local Board of Health there they would stand a very nice chance of being unseated in the succeeding November for doing that which it was said would increase the taxation. … (continues) … The Town Clerk said there was also a letter from Mr. Pinsent, and perhaps the Council would like to hear it read as well. Mr. Pinsent then said he should be happy to attend the meeting of the committee, and to explain to them the disgraceful state the district of Portwood was in at present. He also referred to the attempts that had been made to introduce the Local Board of Health there, but in each instance, they had been beaten, mainly owing to the opposition of the Late, Mr. W. H. Mackey and Mr. Skelton. The motion for referring the subject to a committee was carried and the deputation withdrew …

Southampton Borough Quarter Sessions: The summer quarter of these sessions was held at the Guildhall yesterday (Tuesday), before the Recorder (Mr. Montague Bere, Q.C), who was accompanied on the bench by the following magistrates: Mr. J. H. Cooksey, Alderman Coles, Mr. J. Bernard, Mr. H. J. Buchan, Mr. E. Palk, Alderman Emanuel, and Colonel Stretton. The following gentlemen were sworn on the grand jury: — Messrs. W. H. Ogden, C. W. A. Jellicoe, H. J. Pinsent, J. F. Hattatt, J. O. Parminter, T. A. Skelton, A. Bedborough, A. Pegler, J. P. Hine, T. Bayley, F. Slade, C. E. Bull, G. S. Norman, W. Lunn, J. Hannen, T. Lashmore, W. H. Rogers, W. Alexander, G. M. Tupper, and T. C. Elliot. The Recorder, in addressing the grand jury, said that he would not detain them long as there were but two cases in the calendar calling for notice. The first was that of two young men, named Ramsay and Fitt, who were charged with stealing a quantity of brass knobs, apparently door and bell handles. This offence, which at one time was much practiced as a lark among the upper classes, was nearly obsolete. The question for the grand jury was whether these young men had any intention of stealing, and if not, they could not return a bill. He would next call attention to the case of George Henry Henderson, against whom were brought three charges of having illegally dealt with property, placed in his custody.
