PEMBROKESHIRE EASTER QUAR- TER SESSIONS. These sessions commenced at the Shire Hall on Tuesday before the Chairman, J. H. Scourfleld, Esq., M.P., Colonel Peel, Glenafon; C. Allen, Esq., Ten- by W.

The Chairman Gentlemen,-I have no communi- cation from the Lord Lieutenant or the Secretary of State, but I have the usual returns from the Chief Constable which I will read to you:- Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,—I have the bonoar to lay before you the tabular statements of offences committed in this Connty during the past quarter, on reference to which it will be seen that nine persons bave been apprehended for indictable offences. Three were discharged and six sent for trial. One hundred and sixty nine persons were proceeded against for offences punishable by summary jurisdiction. Eighteen males and five females were discharged, and the remainder variously punished. One Constable has been dismissed and five (fined for misconduct since my last report. 1 have the honour to be, &c., A. B. 0. Stokes Chief Constable." The Chief Constable also recommended that P.S. R. Irving and Acting Sergt. Thomas Phillips should be appointed inspectors of weights and measures for the hundred of Castlemartin. Mr Harford: Is there extra pay ? Capt. Stokes: No, sir. Mr Harford enquired whether the weights and measures were to be inspected at the establishments, or whether shopkeepers were to send their weights to the Inspectors. In his opinion, the Inspectors should go round to the establishments. The Court adopted the recommendation of the Chief Constable and appointed the officers inspectors of weights and measures for Castlemartin. Dr. Dyster: I wish to make a remark with regard to the desirability of allowing the same officer to remain for a long time in the same place of duty. It has the advantage of making him acquainted with the population, but on the other hand it has the great disadvantage that the officer acquires habits of famili- arity with the population, and he might find it diffi- cult to proceed against persons who are his neigh- bours. I wish to draw the attention of the Court to the matter: we have no authority to act, for it rests with the Chief Constable, but I am quite sure he would listen to any expression of opinion on the part of the Court if it should think that it is desirable to change them occasionally. Capt Child: A great deal may be said on both sides. Capt Stokes It is a question which is the best. So long as men carry out the duties, they are allowed to remain, for it is really a punishment to remove them, as all the expense of removal falls upon them. Rev. J. Philipps They have an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the bad characters of the district, THE REPORT OF THE GOVERNOR OF THE JAIL. The Chairman: The Governor's report is as follows:— I have the honour to report that during the last Quarter the general daily avcraee number of prisoners has been 42, viz. 31 male-, and ll;females. The number of female prisoners has been higher than for many years past. there having bean 16 women for several nights during the month of Feburary. There has been one birth in the prison; and one severe and several slight cases of illness among the temale prisoners. The health of the male prisoners has been remarkably good. The following is the number of prisoners now here: Males. Females. Total. PortrialatseMioce. 1 0 1 Convicted at assizes and sessions 17 6 23 Under the Criminal Justice Act 145 For assaults 2 0 2 Under the Vagrant Act 3 0 3 Non payment of baMardy order 1 () 1 Soldiers under sentence of Court Martial 2 0 2 27 10 37 "WILLIAM SAUNDERS." Mr Harford: When we were at the committee the other dav, there were prisoners in jail who ought to have been removed, but it appears there is no room at Pentonville or Portland prison. The prisoners are a very bad lot, and ought to go from here. I want to get rid of them I want it explained why they can't be removed after being condemned. Governor: They have so many convicts for penal servitude at the Government prisons. Mr Harford: They have no room, and we are obliged to keep the prisoners here. They are prisoners who ought not to be kept here they have been threatening the warders we don't know how to deal with them. Mr Philipps (Dale Castle) Starve them out. Mr Massy Are we not made an allowance for con- victed felons ? Governor. Eight shillings a week are allowed by Government. THE VISITING JUSTICES REPORT. Chairman: The Visiting Justices make the follow- ing report:— "'I he Visiting Justices in presenting their report have to observe that the prison is in a fair state of repair. Thn conduct of the prisoners good, with one exception, and that in the general management these is nothing requring any particular remarks. E. T. MA*ST W. Owen. JAMES BQWKN. Chairman I presume the exception is the one to which Mr Hartord has referred. When do you think they will be removed ? Governor' The last convicts were with us from October until March. Mr Harford: It does not satisfy me that the Go- vernment pays for them I want to get rid of them. Chairman: We have no power to get rid of them at the Quaiter Sessions, or we should be very happy to do it. LUNATIC ASYLUM'S REPORT. Chairman The report of the Lunatic Asylums is a long document in print, which every magistrate should read for himself. t) Mr. W. Owen I think, Mr Chairman, that these reports should not be confined to three or four magis- trates, but that every magistrate should have one. There is an immense amount of money spent at the Asylum, and it is quite riglit that every magistrate should have this information. 1 propose that every magistrate in the County of Pembroke should be furnished with a copy. Mr Lewis: It may be in the recollection of the Court that this question was brought on before, and an order made that any magistrate who in the January Quarter Sessions gave notice to the Clerk that he would require one, should ha*e a copy. The super- intendent would then know what number should be printed. If they were required for all the magistrates in the Couuty of Pembroke, a very large number would have to be printed. Any magistrate who gave notice in January can have a cupy. Have you applied for one ? Mr Owen No I have not. Mr Lewis One is sent to the Chairman of Quarter Sessions, to the Chairman and Vice-Chairuian of the Board of Guardians, to each of the Visitors, to the clerk of Petty Sessions, so that every magistrate may see them. Mr J. Summers: They did me the honour to send me a copy. Mr Lewis: Yes, and to the Treasurers of the different counties. Chairman What would be the expense ? Mr Owen Very tritling-2(l or 3d a copy. Air Lewis We have done our best to economise. Mr Owen I don't blame you at all. I think it is very desirable that, as the money belonging to the [ county is spent, every magistrate should have an opportunity of seeing what has been done. Mr Philipps How many magistrates belong to the County ? Chairman There are many who never come near the place. Mr Massy I really think that the arrangement now existing should be retained. Any magistrate can have one if he asks tor one. Mr Owen gave notice that he would move at the next sessions that every magistrate be supplied with a copy of the report. THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT. Chairman: The report of the county Surveyor is as follows:— My LORDS AND GENTLEMEN—The only subject to which I have to call the attention of the Court is with respect to the approaches to County Bridges. It may b. remembered that at the October Quarter Sessions I was requested to invite the dfferent District Hoads Board in the County to contract for the repairs of the approaches to County Bridges, The only tenders 1 have received in reply to my communications have been from the districts of Tenby and Pembroke. The amount of the tenders are considerably in excess of the sums which these bridges cost under the existing system by private contract. The present average cost of repairing the approaches to each bridge being about £2 for each. The tenders sent exceed .£3 for each bridge. T. GEORGE." Chairman: Here is a letter from Mr Griffith Davies written to the County Surveyor, in which he says there is a steam engine within 25 yards of the roadway on the Pembrokeshire side of Cardigan Bridge, and that it is really dangerous, and asking him to see that the nuisance is put a stop to. The Clerk There is a. remedy in Petty Sessions. The question is hoiv far the county is to be a public prosecutor. There is a very summary remedy if the parties choose to carry it out. Mr L. Matbias He has the remedy in his own hands. Let him go to the magistrates' clerk. Chairman 7 We can't give any order here on a mere statement. There may be an answer to all this. There is another letter which says that the engine is open and not concealed. Mr Lewis Mathias We are only wasting our time it is not a matter for the Quarter Sessions. REPAIR OF CARDIGAN BRIDGE, Mr J. B. Bowen I beg to give notice that I shall at the next Quarter Sessions call attention to the state of Cardigan Bridge, and move that a sum not exceeding £250 be applied towards rebuilding and widening it. It may be in your recollection that at the last Quarter Sessions I made a presentment on this subject, and gave notice in accordance with it; but at the earnest request of mv friends in the upper part of the county, I withdrew it, and postponed it until the next quarter sessions, THE TREASURER'S ACCOUNT. The Treasurer made a detailed statement of the receipts and expenditure in respect of the police and county purposes, stating that the accounts and vouchers bad been previously examined by Mr James Bowen. He applied for a county rate of one pennv in the £ and a police rate of a halfpenny in the .6. Mr Bowen said that the vouchers had been sub. mitted to him, and that he had found the items in the account to correspond. Mr Harford Is there any demand for more money for the Lunatic Asylum ? Treasurer I have not heard of any. Mr Lewis gave notice at the lart quarter. Mr Lewis An order was made that the money for carrying out the wings be granted. Mr Owen It was only a conditional order in case Cardiganshire agreed. It has not agreed. Mr Lewis: Cardiganshire will in all probability agree to-day. I think the Court made an order at the last Quarter Sessions that £1,350 be granted provided the other Courts of Quarter Sessions sanc- tioned the plans. Clerk That is so. THE MILITIA STORES. Chairman;: It has been suggested to me that there is a report which is merely a verbal one that was intended to have been brought on first when commu- nications from the Lord Lieutenant are considered. I understand that Col. Peel has a statement to make, and I shall be happy to hear it now. I am sorry I was not aware of it before. Col. Peel: A committee was appointed At the last Quarter Sessions for the purpose of examining the ground in Saint Thomas Green as to whether it would be appropriate for a militia stores. That has been done by Mr George, and he has made his report. He has also been to Burneley, and seen the Barracks there, and you will see in his report an estimate of the cost of a similar barracks being built here. That was one part of our duty: our next duty was to arrange with the Town Council of Haverfordwest as to their being willing to give us the land. That we have not been able to do, because we don't know exactly what amount of land we require. I don't imagine myself that there is any particular hurry needed about these barracks, because the plans for the Reserve Army are hardly in a satisfactory state, and it would be exceed. ingly foolish, according to my mind, to spend a sum of £3,500 in building stores here, if the Militia are likely to be removed. If they remain here, it will be pleasant for the inhabitants of Haverfordwest: we enjoy their band and like to see them drill and march through our streets. They, too, spend a good deal of money here; but I don't think the Government will take these matters into consideration. Last year they had an order to remove to the Harbour, and this year that order has been repeated. I think" coming events cast their shadows before," and we shall pro- bably find that next year the Militia will actually go. Other stores may be built, or perhaps the stores and another station belonging to the Government will be used. I don't think there has been a great mistake by our not coming to an arrangement with the Town Council. Mr George has brought his report and estimate of the cost. Chairman The report is approved of by the com- mittee ? Col. Peel: Yes. Mr L. Mathias: I propose that Mr George produce his plans and report at the next Quarter Sessions. Col. Peel: The plans are here now, if you wish to see them. Chairman: The only question is whether you will continue your negotiations with the Council in the event of the ground being wanted. Col. Peel: Yes, and report at the next Quarter Sessions. Chairman: We may find that the Council could not do it or would not do it. The Committee were then requested to continue their enquiries respecting the ground in the event of its being required. THE COST OF PROSECUTIONS. Mr Lewis As we are upon the Countv Accounts perhaps I may be permitted to bring one matter efore the Court. I believe that most magistrates are under the impression that all costs of prosecutions are paid by the Treasurer, and the money is repaid to the county by the Treasury. Mr Summers has kindly given me a return of expenses for the year ended the 30th of June. I find the cost at the Spring Assizes came to £92 los. 8d., and that the County was repaid £71, so that there was a loss to the County of £21. At the Epiphany and Easter Sessions the county paid £126, and only got back £75, making a difference of £ 50, which the county had to pay. Under the Crimi- nal Justice Act the county paid £ 5 and only got back i.£3. In this return the deductions that are made are placed in different colnmns: there are constable's fees, justices clerk's fees, prosecutor's and counsel's fees, and various other charges. I can't help thinking that this matter requires some enquiry in order to see why these charges have been disallowed by the Treasury, and whether some fresh scale should be drawn up by the county so as to put a stop to this, and that we may get the moneys we pay for prosecu. tions repaid to our Treasurer. Chairman: This is not the first time the matter has been brought before me, nor is it a grievance confined to this county, because the difference between the Government allowances and the expences actually incurred has been so considerable that there was a committee appointed by the House of Commons to investigate the matter. I WHS examined before the committee, and I gave evidence as to the loss the county of Pembroke has sustained. However, like the operations of many other committees, nothing came of it. The Government officials cut down every possible charge, and I have no doubt there is a con- siderable margin of difference, just as Mr Lewis has stated. How it can be remedied we don't know: it can only be remedied in one of two ways, either by cutting down the expenses here or getting more from the Government. Mr Lewis: The question is whether the sums allowed by the Treasury are sufficient to remunerate the different persons in whose case the reductions are made in these columns. Treasurer: These sums are passed by a taxing officer-by the Clerk of Assize or the Clerk of the Peace at Quarter Sessions, and the orders are made upon me by them. Cierk I am bound by the table of allowances made and certified by the Secretary of State, and from these I cannot depart without a special order of the Court. Mr Lewis: If these deductions are made, why is the county bound to pay them ? Treasurer The Treasurer of the County is bound to pay them. Clerk The scale must be sent back to the Secretary of State to be remodelled. Treasurer: I am bound to pay the orders of Mr Yauglmn, the clerk of assize, and of Mr Owen clerk of the Peace. Mr Lewis My object will be gained by appointing a committee to investigate these scales ot allowances. l am not making any complaint against anybody. I want to know whether it is in the power of the Court to appoint a committee to re-arrange the scales and to see whether they should be reduced, so that there would be no occasion fur the taxing master to make these reductions. Clerk You must make application to the v ofScate for his sanction. Mr Lewis here read a letter from the Lords o; ii t- Treasury which accompanied the returns in which the deductions were specified. Treasurer: I sent Mr Vaughan a copy of that letter, and he said he would call at the 'Treasury. What was the result of his calling I don't know. Mr Lewis: The ratepayers, instead of getting their money returned, have to pay a large sum lor prosecutions. Thev paid IU2 15s 8d, and only get £71 5s lOd. Chairman We are ready to do what we can, but they form part of a general grievance. The only remedy is either by cutting down our own allowances or by getting more money from the Government. That is mathematically clear. All these charges were taxed, and it is rather hard to disallow them when our Treasurer is bound to pay them. The subject then dropped. THE REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE ACCOUNTS. The Chairman The next matter is to receive the report of the committee appointed to investigate the Treasurer's accounts. The Chairman then read the report of the Com- mittee, which stated that certain orders of the expenses of conveying prisoners addressed to the County Trea- surer had been altered in the figures: it had no evidenee to prove who made the alteration, but believed that the police are quite free from suspicion. The magis- trates' clerk for Tenby remitted since he took office seven post office orders to Mr Summers, of these four only reached the hands of the Treasurer. The others had been produced before the committee, and one signed in the name of James Summers," hut not by him. The returns irom Pembroke appeared to have been regularly sent to the :Clerk of the Peace. The sums received by the Treasurer were very frequently less than the proper amount. When the remittances were properly brought forward in the book, the entry had been made by Mr Summers himself, or by another clerk. Mr Lanning did not always send his fines by cheque or post office order, and therefore it was not possible to attain the same precise results as in the case of Mr Wells. The deficiency appeared to be £ 24 103. Dr. Dyster: The committee on investigating the matter confined itself to the instructions given them. In the course of the investigation there was a general impression that sotne mode of examining the county accounts other than that which exists is imperatively called for. Mr Phelps has put a motion on the paper in order to carry out that end, but I very much doubt myself that his plan will be an efficient one. Of course I give my own opinion as a member of the committee, and t tliihk myself chat no com- mittee will wofk satisfactorily. It is very difficult for font or five men, meeting on their own hook, to carry out an efficient order of accounts. My own opinion is in favour of the employment of an official auditor to carry out the business properly. I think that would be satisfactory to our Treasurer. We had no fault to find with Mr Summers, whose entries ill I'I.1IYCl. M'OrO frUITlfl t,(1 hø pn1't't\f\f-" Chairman. The only remark t would make is this :—It wotlld appear after an investigation of the accounts extending over a long period, that they have been kept remarkably well. (Applause.) I am sure I can speak with the utmost confidence with regard to the Treasurer—(applause)—with whom I have been in constant communication for many years. I have had to go through enormous sums of addition, i and as I never could find anything wrong, there really was no sport in the matter at all. (Laughter and applause.) Hi! accounts were always correct. (Hear, hear) With regard to employing an official auditor, it appears that there has been but one sum of £ 24 about which there has been any doubt, and if we appoint an auditor, we should have to pay him every year, and we could not pay him much less than the amount which has been found deficient over a long period of years. With regard to Mr Phelps's motion, we must not expect five magistrates to be present, and I would suggest a quorum of two of three. One magistrate could look over the accounts, and another read the vouchers. Treasurer I believe there is a finance committee appointed in Carmarthen. Rev. P. Phelps I don't think it is possible on the day of Quarter Sessions to go through the accounts correctly. I would name Mr Lewis, of Henllan, Mr L. Mathias, Mr G, Allen;, Mr Bowen, of Llwyngwair, and Mr Roberts, of Mil ord, two to form a quorum. There would be representatives of each division in the county. Chairman: It is not a case of representation of divisions: you want the thing done correctly. I thought if you had men from a distance there would be a difficulty in getting them to attend. With regard to the County Roads Board, We proceeded on the plan of having A menibfcr from evefy division, and we found after a time that the business collapsed. The members could not come, and the whole thing collapsed, and we were obliged to ascertain whether there was a probability of a person attending before appointing him. Rev. R. Buckby: I think your illustration of the County Roads Board will not hold good; for those who live the furthest off attend most regularly. (Laughter) Mr. J. B. Bowen: As Mr Phelps has paid me the compliment of selecting me as a member, I beg to say that I shall ha*e great pleasure in acting, on one stipulation, and that is that the vouchers be sent up to me. (L aughter.) Treasurer: I shall object to that most certainly (Renewed Laughter.) Chairman: If you had authority to send the vouchers away it may be done. Treasurer: I could not part with them. Rev. R. Buckby: I want to call the attention of the Court to one part of the report. The committee was suggested by myself, and the part I wish to call attention to is the great irregularity in the returns made by the magistrates' clerk at Pembroke, t sup- pose he knows better than I do that under Jervis's Act, cap. 43, he is bound under a penalty to keep a book and submit it to the magistrates ibdnthly, and to produce to them vouchers or at least receipts fro m the Treasurer for all moneys paid by him in the shape of fines passing through his hands to the Treasurer. If that rule were regularly pursued in all the hundreds there could not by any possibility be the least error in the amounts returned from the different petty ses- sions. It is to that part of the report I wish to call attention. On the motion of Mr Phelps, seconded by the Rev. R. J. H. Thomas, it was ordered that a committee con- sisting of Mr Lewis, of Henllan J Mr Lewis Mathias, Mr C. Allen, Mr Phelps, and Mr Roberts, of Milford, be appointed to examine the county accounts. The committee are to meet at 12 o'clock on Tuesday in the week preceding each Quarter Sessions. BOARD OF CONSERVATORS. The following gentlemen were appointed a Board of Conservators for the East and West Cleddy Fishery District: Baron De Rutten, Colonel Peel, Mr Harries, Heathfield; Mr J. Stokes, Cuffern; Capt. O. T. Edwardes, Mr John Bennett, of Wolfsdale; Captain J. O. Edwardes, of Hook; Mr W. James, Mr W. Walters Williams. Narberth; Mr R. D. Ackland, Boulston; Mr T. Rule Owen, Mr John Harvey. Mr Har:ord was re-appointed chairman of the committee. THE ASSESSMENT C MMITTEE. Mr Lewis, of Henllan; I am happy te inform the Court that the County Rate Assessment Committee has brought its labours to an end. I am going to hand in to-day to the Court the result ot their labours, and request that it be laid on the table, that the usual notices be given, and that it be taken into consideration at the next Quarter Sessions. Chairman: I don't want to enter into a dispute on so delicate a subject as a valuation, but I think I should express the sense of the Court to the Com- mittee for the trouble they have taken in a most arduous-I will not say unsatisfactory ——— Mr W. Owen You may (Gfeat Laughter.) Chairman For the arduous duties they have per- formed. When upon such a subject as the Savings' Bank i: is the opinion of the Exchequer that the Government have lost two millions and three or four hundred thousand, and another opinion has been given on the same subject, we ought not to expect too much. Mr Lewis: I am going to ask the Court for an order for JE58 6s. Sd. being part of the expenses of the Committee. The Court made an order for j625 c it has paid inadvertently £10, and the whole cost will amount to £94 5s. 2d. I don't think We ought to pass unnoticed the assistance we received from Mr William Vaughan James and Mr W. M. Phillips. They had to get through a mass of figures, and I am sure every member of the Committee will join in tendering our thanks for the very great assistance we received from them, and also to the clerks of the different boards who greatly aided us in the matter. Chairman: I hope it is understood that I proposed a vote of thanks to the assessment committee. We have every reason to thank them for the disagreeable and onerous duty they have taken in hand. A valua- tion is a most discouraging, almost hopeless work, and I think we are greatly indebted to the Chairman and the members of the committee. I propose a vote of thanks to them. (Hear, hear.) Rev. James Philipps: I second it. The motion was carried unanimously. THE PORTREEVE OF KILGERRAN. Mr David Phillips, of Kilgerran, appeared per- sonally, and qualified himself as Portreeve of Kil- gerran. This concluded the county business. APPBAI, AGAINST RATES. Mr Thomas Roberts, Milford, v. Milford Iinprovc- mellt Commissioners.—This was an appeal against a rate made on the 3rd of December, 1869, and occu- pied the Court a considerable time. The Court con- firmed the rate, but ordered each party to pay their own costs. A case for the opinion of the Court of Queen's Bench was granted on the application of the appellant. Mr Lascelles (instructed by Mr W. John) appeared for the appellant, and Mr Powell (instructed by Mr Price) for the respondents. The Court then adjourned. WEDNESDAY. The Court assembled to-day at 10 o'clock. There were two prisoners for trial. CHARGE OF STEALING THATCH. Thomas Morgan was charged with stealing three 0 r, bundles of thatch, value 3d., the property of Mr John Rogers, of Crabhall. Mr G. Leader Owen prosecuted, and Mr Powell (instructed by Mr Price) defended. The prisoner was seen in the act of taking the thatch by P. C. Phillips at 11 o'clock at night on the 8th of February. The prosecutor wished to forgive him, but the police officer having no power to consent to such an arrangement, reported the case, and proceedings were instituted. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, but recom- mended him to mercy. The Court sentenced him [to imprisonment for TTjonlh with hard labour. J Chairman said that the magistrates in petiy ri: • MIS could not have dealt with the case, as the prisoner ^l-rcted to be tried at the Quarter Sessions before a jury. THE KOLBERY FROM THE LATE MR. FLUTTER. George Lewis, 19, labourer, was charged with stealing a purse and 5s. 5d., (rum the person of the late Mr C. W. Flutter, at Castlemartin, on the 20th of March. 1870. The prisoner pleaded guilty. P.C. Francis, in answer to the Chairman, said that when he found Mr Flutter, his head was supported by his bat. There was sufficient room tor a cart to pass without touching the deceased, who was lying sideways on the metal portion of the road. His first impression was that he was tipsy, but on lifting him to a sitting position, he noticed blood at the back of his head. The prisoner said he was sorry for what he had done, and that if he had been as he was now, he would not have done it. He -neant he was the worse for beer. The Chairman George Lewis,—You havepleaded guilty to the charge of stealing a purse and a small sum of money, 5s 5d from the person of Charles William Flutter, (who is unfortunately dead) on the 20th of March, 1870. The fact of Mr Flutter being dead has connected with this robbery a good deal of excitement in the county. Whenever a person is found dead, the public sym- pathy is apt to become Very much roused; and if any person is in any way found connected with any transaction in th6 Case of a person so found dead, public suspicion is immediately aroused and very often hasty and improper inferences are drawn respecting the conduct of the person charged. I must say, in justice to you, that after carefully reading through the depositions, I don't see the slightest reason to suppose that you inflicted any personal injury upon Mr Flutter: I don't think there is any evidence whatever to prove that. There is every reason to believe that you found Mr Flutter lying in the road, nor have I any satisfactory proof that at the time you found him so lying you believed him to have sustained such injury as imme- diately to affect his life. Vety probably you may have supposed he was lying there possibly intox- icated ahd so far the circumstances are in your favour: also it is stated in your own deposition that you raised his head, and he was found in a position which showed that his head had been dealt with by some one. and had been put upon his hat which of course was to a certain extent an alle viation of the inconvenience of lying down, and probably a point in his favour towards re- covering from ahy danger. So far We Canhbt come to the conclusion that you had any intent to inflict any sort of personal injury upon Mr Flutter; and the question now resolves itself entirely into the fact of robbery. You have pleaded guilty to com- mitting a robbery under circumstances which I think must be considered rather of an aggravated nature. You found him lying in the road,and lefthim there at night. Tt e e is no evidence to show that you went and told anybody that you had left him in the road where he might hate been driven over by a cart or ridden oVer by anyoti6 wiiocdme there duHngthe dark. At the same time it appears he was not lying across the road, but along the road, and the policeman says there was plenty of room in the road for the ordinary traffic without touching the person of Mr Flutter. You say in extenuation that if you had been then as you are now you would not have done what you have done that is to say you Were drhnk. Drunk- eness is no extenuation of any crime) but of codrse I must take it into consideration as evidence that it was not a deliberate action on your part with regard to Mr Flutter. Jt tan never be laid down by this court that a person is at liberty to take advantage of another, to rob him and leaVe him at night in a position where he must netessari y be exposed to great hazard. It is possible that if attention had been called to Mr Flutter in time, and medical assistance immediately obtained, his life would have been preserved. The offence, however for which you must be punished, refers to the robbery alone of all violence, the Court must hold you guiltless. At the same time there is a certain degree of heartlessness in it of which the Court must take ridtice. Under ordinary circumstances, the amount of property stolen \Votild justify the Court in pronouncing a comparatively short sentence, but under the circumstances in this case, and as a warning to the public, we should not do justice were we to sentence you to a less term of imprison- ment than twelTe calender months with hard labour;

HAVERFORDWEST TOWN COUNCIL. An adjourned meeting of this bodv was held at the Police Sta'ion on Monday evening. There were present:—J. D. Brown, Esq., (Mayer), Mr Harford, Mr J.

The Town Clerk There is a balance due to Messrs Wyatt and Metcalfe, the parliamentary agents, (t £ 385 4s 1 Id. This bill was submitted by the order of the Council to the elimination of Mr Wiliiaoi Davies and Mr J. W. Phillips. They suggested that an allowance of E35 4s lid should be made, and I was directed by the Council to write to Messrs Wyatt and Metcalfe, and ask them to make that allowance. Mr Wyatt re- plied to me that in the first place; the charges are the fair and ustial charges, and In the heit place that the bill had been duo to them eVer since the end of the sessions of 1868, and that on that ground it was hardly fair to ask them to make any deduction. Mr W. Williams Am I to understand that thi4 bill was in your hands since the end of the sessions, 1863 ? Town Clerk No it was in my hands .out the beginning of 1869. Mr W. Williauie: If it was in your hands, how was it not presented to tLe Council? Town Clerk s Simply because the Council had no means of paving until the end of 1869. Mr W. Williamfl The Council asked for it. Town Clerk Never for this bill. Mr W. Williams: They asked for the cost of the Act of flarliamen, and your reply was that the costs were not made otit. The drgumetit of Messrs \Vyatt and MetcdlFe based upon the fact that their bill was in our possession so long a time is a reasonable one, but it was never presented to ua until within two or three months ago. Town Clerk I meant presently, perhaps you will allow me to do so now—to ask permission to make a few observations upun this mutter. I understand in my absence-my unavoidable absence—this evening fortnight some very string observations and insinua- tions were thrown out by a gentleman a member of the Council, who is now present, in reference to my bill of costs. An insinuation or et all ersnta a com- plaint is made this efening ia my presence I don't complain of that: I am prepared to answer any obser- vations or complaint any gentleman may make upon me. But I am surprised that any gentleman should have done so in my absence I am here now to answer anything that may be said in reference to my own bill. I will take this opportunity of answering Mr Williams's remarks in reference to this bill. It was delivered to me to the best of my reoollecticn about the early part of 18G9—I am not quite sure it may have been a month or two bafore) and it may have been a month or two dlljr. The bill lay in the bundle of papers for months, and nothing was done upon it, because there was no money in the hands of the council to pay the bill, and we all knew very well that it was utterly useless to bring the matter forward until the Council were in possession of funds to dis- charge the fxpences of the act. As soon as it had the funds-I may refer to the bo ,ks, and I think I may also refer to the recollection of nearly every gentle. man present-in January last —(we did not get the money until the 2Gih of December)-in January last, early in that month, this bill as well as my own bill was laid before the Council tor their examination and approbation. I thought itunneeeasatytodoitbetore I aid, and the Council immediately took aution upon it by referring the bills to Mr W. Davies and Mr J. W. Phillips. As a matter of fact my bill was not ready, and as there was no money in hand, and my time was occupied, I thought it might stnnd over. In reference to my Dill what I did about it was this 1 did not pretend to be familiar-nor am I now familiar -with parliamentary costs. I did not, therefore, make out the bill in the form I would make it in an ordinary case between myself and a client. I took an account of the various items, and sent the bi.l in blank without making any charges, not to the parliamentary agents, but to a professional gentleman of the highest respectability in London, who has been in practice for 25 years. I wrote biOi a letter along with it. I told him they Were items charged against the Corporation in reference to the Bill, and inasmuch as I was not familiar with the costs, I begged him to lay it before a person whom he might select in London, and who was acquainted with the making out of parliamentary costs, that he might fill up the proper charges. The bill remained in his hands for three weeks or a month. It was sent to me about the end of tte year, and along with it a pruned table or bClIl. of fees receutly issued by the House ot Lord*—jees applicable to Pailiatnentry costs. I then as a matter more of curiosity than anything else, compared the bill as settled In this way in Loudon, with tbe scale of fees, and found it to be corr-ct. Ibe bill was submitted to Mr W. Davies und Mr J. VV* Pliilhps, and they went through it very carefully. They tuouylit there were certain charges in it which ought to be disallowed. On my ineetiug them < n the subject, in the course of three wiuutelf-I volunteered it in tdCt- the affair was settled by reducing the biittromJE29.3 to zC250, which met with their lull approbation. My own belief. after lookine at the bill and the scale of charges, is that I could sustain every liugle Hem that was charged in the bill; but with a view to meet them and settle the matter amicably, 1 consented to tho reduction. Mr Davies stated here what had been done, and an order was made lor payment. These are the simple facts in reference to this bill; it has been in my hands for sereral months, and it was not presented lor the liole reason that there were no funds iu hand to pay it. Mr Williams I was not aware, air, that as a mem- ber of the council I was to abstain from discharging what I thought a duty, simply because of the absence of the Town Clerk. and 1 known that I am subject only to discharge that duty in his presence I should certainly have abstained from making any observations this night fortnight until to night or perhaps until some further night. I said what 1 did simply from a conviction that it was my duty to do so. As to in- sinuations, I am not aware hating mado one single insinuation. I stated what I thought were facts, and by those facts I am prepared to stand in the presence of any gentleman. I thought that there had been un- due haste in the passing of those bills which, although 1 was gainsaid, had been f«r nearly two years moved for, and one ot which, as I lCJrn from our worthy Town Clerk, was in his hands for more than twelve monihs, if not for two or three months more than that. In the course of one night these biilo-the most ioi- portunt and the heaviest the Council have had to pay fjr many years-were passed without the knowledge of many members of the Council, and justly so without their knowledge, for I understand, and I think I am correct, that these fortnightly meetings were intended to further the business of the waterworks now in progress, and not intended for the discharge of the duties which devolve upon us as a Corporation. I have no doubt that many gentlemen, members of the Council, did not attend, believing that othor gentle- men residing close to this place who could conveniently attend here, would dischaigc the duties, but had they been aware-had they dreamt that such important bills as those would have been brought befoie the meeting, I they would perhaps at any sacrifice have been pretent on that night. Therefore, I complain that there was an amount of undue hacte fallen into in passing the bills. I complain of this, as I think it was of the ut- most importance to the ratepayers who have to bear the burden of these payments. I have made no in- sinuation as to any single item in the bill presented I have aocepted them as strictly correct. I have distinctly said that I have implicit confidence in the opinion of those gentlemen who have examined these bills. But that is not the question for the public. They have a right, if there be an authority to decide in these matters-and I am told there is such an authoritv-they have a right to have the bills taxed by the authority to which no objection can be offered. They may make an objection or not to the gentlemen who have examined the bills, but they are not the legal authority on the subject, and the public have a just right to complain. They may bave been pflrtlal in ordering payment, and as a matter of duty to the public I think these bills should be taxed by a proper authority, and that that authority should be the one the law appoints. That is the nature of my complaint this night fortnight. I am prepared to make it again I think it is a duty on behalf of the public that the bills should be sent for taxation by the proper authority. A lengthy discussion ensued, and it was ultimately resolved that the payment of Messrs Wyatt and Metcalfe's bill be deferred until Mr Alderman Davies be communicated with.

Wild Charley is a beautiful dark brown horse, eight years old, 16 hands high, on short black legs, with im- mense bone and muscular power, great depth of girth and rib, remarkably short back, strong powerful loins and quarters, fine obliqde sboulderst and free light action, is perfectly sound and free from all hereditary disease, is a sure foal getter, and his stock (now year- lings) are remarkably fine and promising. Wild Charley is by Wild Dayrell (winner of the Derby), out of Phemy by Touchstone, (winner of the St. Leger), granddam Phebe by Lamplighter (sire of Phosphorus, winner of the Derby), out of a mare by Rubens, (sire of Landscape, winner of the Oaks), out of Tippitywitchet, by Waxy, ^winner of the Derby), out 01 Hare by 8\veetbriar.
