Monmouthshire Merlin

THE LATE FATAL DUEL. • On Monday last an inquest was held on the body of the late Colonel Fawcett, at the house in which it lay. The proceed. ings excited the most profound interest, and the room was crowded by a most respectable auditory, a large proportion of whom were military officers. The jury having viewed the body, proceeded to enquire into the circumstances attending the death. Mr. Gulliver, whose name appears in the account of the un- fortunate occurrence, was called, but did not appear. The Coroner enquired if there was any person present who could identify the body, and was replied to in the negative. The police constables and the other persons who saw the gen- tlemen proceeding to the ground, and who assisted in carrying the body to the Camden Arms, were then examined. The sub- stance of their testimony corresponds with the account given in another part of our paper. Mr. Liston and Mr. Sandys, surgeons, were next examined' and they deposed (after having made a post mortem examina- tion of the body) that the cause of death was a pistol bullet which entered the right side, fracturing one of the ribs, passing through the right lung, and lodging in the spine. The Coroner said that as there was no one present who could identify the body, he would adjourn the enquiry till Thursday: as Mr.Gulliver had broken the promise which he h&d made the police magistrate, that be would attend at the coroner's quest, he would, though reluctantly, issue his warrant for apprehension of that gentleman.

THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. Revenue returns for the year and for the quarter up to th* July, have just been published, and they exhibit for a 6reat falling off in every department, except the hp ^or ^uarter» there is even a falling on undtr w ^or t^ie ^ear 'ncrease of receips for the post- ft €59,000., but in the quarter there has been a de- co»tom« ^>000. That, however, is a mere trifle. On the ^ith 'here has been a decrease for the year of £ 514,926., • decr«,,ncrease on thc quarter of £ 135,015.

FALSE REPORTS.—On going to press last week, the Standard of Thursday evening reached us, with an alarming account pen-marked in red ink, to the effect that some 15,000 or 20,000 Amazonian Rebeccaites had laid violent hands on a troop of Dragoons, at the bridge of Newcastle Emlyn, dragged them off their horses, took their arms from them, and threw them (query the Dragoons or the arms) over the bridge and that a rough rider named Kearns was so unchristianly handled as either to be killed outright or at least to be unfitted for future service. Now, although this appalling account appeared in so vera- cious a paper-tn the "standard of truth!" we thought it looked very like a hoax, and treated it accordingly. Several of the London prints oopied the paragraph, and one old woman of the press said, that the silence of the next post from the dis- tuibed districts" was still more alarming than the account of the fight on the Welsh Granicos. "Horror ubique animos, I Bimul ipsa silentia terret." It seems that some wags signing themselves Howell and Llewellyn, with a wickedness which might have led to serioas results, some succeeded in hoaxing people at a distance, who doubtless will be less credulous in futare in giving standard currency to panic-striking falsehoods.

Llanarth-street, July 5th, 1843, CAERLEON.-Ftight of the Coldstreams.-On Monday evening last, an open air meeting in favour of Tee- totalism was held on Goldcroft Common, in this town, when the auditory, which consisted of some 40 or 50 persons, four- fifths of whom were children, was addressed by several indivi- duals from Newport. One of the lecturers, however, at the conclusion of his address, having challenged any person to discussion, a young man in the crowd immediately took his position on the heap of stones which served as a platform, and being seconded by a publican, asquickly desired the disciples of the pump" to stand down, and make way for those who de- light in the joys of Bacchus. Upon heating this, the patrons of aquas fontanx murmured dissent: recrimination ensued, and finally the votaries of the Jolly God kicked up "sich a row" that the self-styled Coldstream Guards" deemed it prudent to solicit the aid of the civil power to smooth the current of their retreat. We have since heard that summonses have been issued against some of the parties implicated in the affair.-From a Correspondent LONGEVITY.—On Wednesday last, as early as four o'clock in the morning, the bells of Langibby church struck up a merry peal to commemorate the birthday of John Rosser, who had that day attained his 101st year; he appeared in ex. cellent spirits, and is still in full possession of nearly all his faculties. Mr. Samuel Probyn, of Pontypool, was lately chosen one of the Clinical Assistants and Assistant House Surgeon to the Westminster Hospital. This gentleman and Mr. Charles Sloper, of Tredegar, were awarded the head prizes at the general examination at Christmas last, for the greatest proficiency in anatomical science. USK.-On Wednesday evening last the anniver- sary meeting of the Usk Bible Society was held at the National School Room. The Rev. William Evans, vicar of Usk, took the chair, and delivered an appropriate address. The meeting was also ably addressed by W. A. Williams, Esq., of Langibby Castle, and the Rev. Andrew Brandram, rector of Beckenham. The collection at the door amounted to £5 4s 3d. NEw HOUSE OF CORRECTION.—We are informed that arrangements are made for removing the prisoners from the old to the New House of Correction at Usk on Monday next. LLAN ARTH FEMALE CLUB.—On Thursday, the 29th ultimo, the anniversary of this most useful and benevolent society was celebrated. Thb members met in the forenoon at the Gardeners' Arms, kept by Mr Hestope, and having formed into procession, they went to Llanarth church, where an excel- lent sermon was delivered by the respected incumbent, the Rev. Mr Price. After Divine Service the procession was re-formed, and they went to the Vicarage, the Tump, and Llanarth Court, w here they were kindly and condescendingly received bv I he ladies, who are honorary members of the club, who treated ein with their accustomed affability. From thence they re- '"j j room' ""here an excellent dinner was pro- vided, which did great credit to Mrs Heslope, the landlady — after dinner, the company joined in the merry dance, which was kept up with mirth and harmony till evening, when the members returned to their homes. We are glad to hear that the funds of the club are in a very prosperous state. ABERGAVENNY. On Monday evening last, the 3rd instant, the Teetotal Society held a special meeting, when Mr. Johnson delivered his second lecture on the subject of total abstinence. On a former evening, about a week since, he appeared for the first time in the Teetotal Hall, and by themat- terly manner in which he handled his subject, matie so great an impression on his audience, than an invitation was given him to deliver a second lecture, and for which purpose thisspe- cial meeting was convened. A stranger opened the business of the evening, when the glee singers sang in their best style one of their favourite songs, a temperance parody on the Cala- brian boatman's song, after which the chairman, L. Reynolds, Esq., introduced Mr. Johnson to the meeting. The room was densely crowded, and but that it was well ventilated, the heat would have been overpowering. The speaker did nGI attempt to apologise, for Teetotalism was the subject of hi-, theme, though he very fairly might do so, since he had ;hat day walked between 30 and 40 miles, but so ardently was he at. tached to the cause of temperance that he was always igady to advocate the principles of a society, which lay so near to his heart. In a speech which occupied about an hour in j:,¡ deli- very, he drew the most vivid picture of the drunkard's <: abased and debasing habits, and traced with a master's hand he ex- treme misery of a drunkard's home, the woe with win h the cup of the drunkard's wife was filled, the degradation into which the drunkard plunged his hapless offspring, and the me- lancholy effects which the drunkard's example had upon so- ciety at large. He enlivened his address with many a well-told anecdote of tbe folly which such pests of their race daily evince. He endeavoured to ridicule the arguments which the moderate man, whom he sarcastically called Little-drop man," takes up, but, in the opinion of many of his audience, made a com- plete failure. Mr. Dawson invited him to be more explicit on the question of moderation, but he very adroitly parried it off. At the conclusion of Mr. Johnson's address the glee singers sang a temperance song to the tune of" Behold how brightly breaks the morning," when a vote of.thanks was moved to him for his address. After making a few remarks upon Mr. Daw- son's observations, he proposed a vote of thanks to that gentle- man for the very courteous manner in which those observations were made. Mr. Johnson will deliver another address on Tues. day next, when it is hoped the expectations of many will be gratified by his stating more fully his views on the subject of moderation. The anniversary meeting of the Monmouth Aux- iliary Bible Society was held at the Borough Court in that town on Tuesday evening last, and was respectably and nume- rously attended. The Rev. John Herbert presided, and the rreeting was addressed by the chairman, the Rev. A. Brand- ram, and one of the secretaries of the parent society, the Rev. Thomas Loader, and the Rev. Professor Scholefield, of the Cambridge University. The speeches of the rev. gentlemen were listened to with much interest, and tended to increase the zeal of the friends of this philanthropic society. From the local report it appeared that the Ladies' Association had col- lected f30 4s 8d during the past year, of which a free donation of £10 had been presented to the parent society. Sixty-two Bibles and sixty-nine Testaments had been sold, and a balance remains in hand of C6 7s 2dio The general account showed the receipts to amount to J59 9s 4d, of which the free donation to the parent society, amounts to £20, being a balance in hand of £ 10 Os lOd. Ninety-six Bibles and 110 Testaments had been distributed. The Monmouth Branch has distributed 3605 copies of the Holy Scriptures since its establishment in 1822. Monmouth Monthly Market was held on Wed- nesday last. The supply of stock was but small-the prices may be thus quoted Beef 5d to 5id, sheep 5d to 51, and lamb 5J. We are happy to say that the Town Council of Monmouth has at Itngth resolved to remove those unsightly objects, intended to imitate gates, and which have hitherto been allowed to disgrace that beautiful building, the new mar- ket house. Three iron gates are to be fixed at the approaches, and to be manufactured by Mr F. Taylor, of Monmouth, who obtained the contract for that purpose on Monday last. On Sunday last, a lad named Embry, in the em- ploy of Thomas Swift, Esq, whilst proceeding towards Dixton church, attempted to leap a narrow ditch which divides two of the Dixton meadows, but in doing so, one of his feet slipped under him, and in falling he broke his leg in two places near the ancle. Mr G. Wilson, surgeon, rendered the poor fellow immediate assistance, and under his skilful treatment, the lad is likely to do well. On Monday last, a man and his wife, named John and Mary Ann Lucas, were committed to our County Gaol, by the Mayor of Monmouth, for passing base coin on the previous Saturday night. The prisoners, who were evidently practised smashers, had attempted to dupe Mr Powles, butcher, and Mr Prichard, beer-house keeper, by tendering base half.crowna.- They declined saying anything in their defence. The Right Rev. Doctor Brown, V.A. of Wa s, assisted at the solemn ceremony of opening Saint Mary's Church, Bristol. CARDIFF.—The hay harvest in this neighbour- hood is fast approaching to completion, and the crops generally are quite satisfactory. The corn in every direction promises abundant return. We understand that T. W. Hill, Esq., Barrister at Law, on the South Wales circuit, has been appointed to the office of Police Magistrate for the Mertbyr district, with a salary of JE600 per annum. MERTHYR. T he anniversary tea party toward liquidating the debt of the English Independent Chapel, took place on Wednesday last. About 800 tickets were sold, and the visilors were highly pleased with the entertainment, and n wonder when BO many ladies of the town kindly officiated o the occasion. The minister, the Rev. Edward Griffith, an*j others very ably addressed the party at the close of th meeting. The annual meeting of the Merthyr Auxiliary Bible Society was held at the English Wesleyan Chapel, on Monday evening last, the chair was occupied by Sir J. J. Guest, Bart., the hoh. member for the borough. It was com- menced by singing several appropriate verses, and the Itev. Mr. Worth, minister of the chapel, engaged in supplicating the Divine blessing. The Rev. Edward Griffith, one of the secretaries, read the financial report, by which it appeared that the Merthyrites are not very zealous supporting this noble insti- tution, there being only one annual subscriber, viz., William James, Esq., merchant. The meeting, which was rather nu- merous before the close, was very ably addressed by the worthy chairman, the Rev. Edward Davies, classical tutor of Brecon College, and Thomas Phillips, of Hay, the deputation from the Parent Society the Rev. Thomas Harries, assistant cu- rate, the Rev, Mr.'Worth, and Mr. Watkins, of the Gwen. The address of the Isstspeaker caused roars of laughter, and ex- cited tremendous cheering, when be stated that he meant to give five guineas to the chairman towards the Auxiliary, which he fully intended to continue. He stated that he had increased his yearly subscription by 10s. 6d, since he had become a tee- totafler. He concluded the meeting with fervent prayer for the audience, the chairman Sir John Guest, Lady Charlotte, and family, the inhabitants of Merthyr and Dovrlaia, and all the iroa.mattMt CYFARTHFA IRON-WORKS.—An error occurred in our last paper respecting these works. 700 tons of mine reo quired monthly, should have been stated, instead of 700 tons of iron. DOWLAIS.—It is currently reported that 200 miners, and 150 colliers are to be discharged from these works, and that the most drunken and disorderly are to be selected. The excesses committed by the lovers of alcoho- lic drinks have influenced several clergymen to enrol their names as disciples of the celebrated Father Matthew, within the last few days, in the neighbourhood of Merthyr.

ROSS. We understand that the Committee of the Ross British School has lately had the honour to present to her Majesty and his Royal Highness Piince Albert, through their worthy chair- man, K. Hoskins, Esq M.P specimens of the progress in those classes of education so well taught in this establishment. The articles presented consisted of a pair of beautifullyexe. cuted maps of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, drawn by a boy in the school, on embossed card-boards, surmounted with the royal arms aud other appropriate devices. The articles from the Girls' School consisted of two pieces of needle work, the work of several of the children, the one in form of a toilet pincushion, made of white satin, trimmed with gold fringe, and tassels, on which was inscribed a suituable congratulation on the anniversary of her Majesty's accession to the throne. The above specimens were enclosed in an elegant box lined with white satin, chastely decorated with the royal arms, &c., &c., and was particularly unique. The whole was the entire work of the school, to the acknowledgments of which Mr. Hoskins received the following note from the Hon. C. A. Murray :-— SIR,—I have the honour to apprise you that the parcel containing the Toilet Pincushion and the Maps, the work of the children of the Ross and Archenfield Royal Victoria School, reached me in safety, and was duly laid before the Queen and Prince Albert. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness further command me to inform you that they are graciously pleased to accept the offering, and to express their admiration of the good taste and tuitt shown in its workmanship. I have the honour to be. Sir, Your faithful servant, C. A. MURRAY. K. Hoskins, Esq., M.P.

NEWPORT POLICE.—-SATURDAY, JULY J, 1843. fAt the Office of Mr. T. J. Phillips.) Before the Mayor aud T. Hawkins, Esquire. DAMAGE CASE—CAUTION TO MASTERS OF VESSELS. A case illustrative of the pertinacious disposition of masters of vessels, who will rather go to law," than settle their dif- ferences amicably through the proper and safer intervention of the Harbour Master, or of their own friends, came on for hear- ing this evening. It appears that the Maria, of Wexford, Captain J. Cosseni, was coming up the Usk on the earliest flood ot the tide on Fri- day evening last, and in doing so, came athwart a vessel which lay properly anchored in the river, named the Regina, of Ply- mouth, Henry Ellis, master, damaging her to the amount of £1 16s 6d. The captain of the Regina reported the case to the proper authority—the Harbour Master, who immediately sent for Captain Cessens, and clearly laid down the law on the matter, showing that the damage had been caused by him that he was bound of course to make reparation that by doing so at once he would merely have to pay £145, being two-thirds of the amount 3 and that if he allowed Captain Ellis to proceed into court with the case, the magistrates would no doubt con- vict him in the full sum, and the costs—which would be nearly equal to the amount of damage. Despite this good advice, and being self-opiniated, Captain Cossens allowed the case to be brought before the magistrates, where, as he had been kindly counselled and forewarned, he was fined in the full amount of damages, and 19s 6d costs, and narrowly escaped the penalty for wilful or negligent damage. lhe money was paid by Captain Cossens, after much demur- IIOg, and no doubt regret that the advice of the Harbour Mas- ter had not been taken. The Bench did not allow a receipt to be given for the amount. The magistrates tried every means to get the captain of the Maria to settle this business between themselves, but without avail. WAGES CASE. Thomas Williams was summoned by William Charter for non payment of 14s 3d. It appeared that Charter had been employed by Williams to work on Mr Rennie's new houses on Stow Hill at 3s 2d per day and that on Saturday last Charter wished to go into ano- ther part of the country to work. Williams refused to pay im- mediately, as he himself was only paid fomightly, and the fort-I. night was not up. The Mayor, who with praiseworthy consideration, never omits an opportunity of settling a case before it is brought into court, if possible, stated to Williams that he ought, as be before advised him, to pay the complainant his wages, who wished to go into another part of the county, and thus avoid the addi- tional expenses of hearing the case. This wholesome advice was not taken, and Williams was ordered to pay the amount of wages, 148 3d, and a large amount of expenses.

NEWPORT TOWN HALL.—MONDAY, JULY 3. Before the Mayor, and Thomas Hawkins, IVm. Brewer, and Lewis Edwards, Esquires. A WOULD-BE DESERTER. Thomas Howell, a Welshman, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and falsely representing himself to be a deserter from the 64th. Mr Edwards to prisoner: What are you, and what do you get a-week ? Prisoner: I am a blacksmith, sir, working with Edward Hopkins at Bassaleg village, and he gives me 4s a.week. Mr Edwards And your grubb," I suppose 1 Laughing ? laughing 1 You don't know where you are, nor what you are doing. You are charged with a serious offence. So you go to the soldiers, do you, and offer yourself; and afterwards pretend to be a deserter 1 Oh, oh, my boy, it's time to do something with you. How old are you 1 Prisoner: Twenty-one, sir. Mr Edwards: Twenty.one, Eh ? You are just come of age, then. The proper examination then proceeded. PC Bath, sworn, said that he was on duty in Friars' Fields on Saturday night, about ten o'clock, when the prisoner came up and said he wanted to speak to him. He asked him what it was he wanted to say and prisoner proceeded in a whisper to say that he was a deserter from the 64th. This was a prac. tice adopted by him on many previous occasions. Some of the gentry of the Fields then took him away to the Mayor's house. Witness here interposed, and took him to the Station House. He appeared to be drunk, but he knew very well what he was about. Mr Edwards to prisoner: Have you anybody who will lend you a pound 1 The prisoner looked gloomily around, and said he had not a friend in court. Mr Edwards Who is your father ? Prisoner: Why, sir, father be Sir Charles's cow keeper. Mr Edwards then proceeded to address the prisoner in very serious terms as regarded his father, mother, brothers, and sis- ters and gave him excellent advice how to behave himself in future. The Mayor: 1 know your father, and I regret exceedingly that so excellent a parent should be disgraced by so bad a son. But if you will return to your home and your woik, you shall be discharged. The prisoner gave the requiste promises, and was allowed to leave the court. STEALING WEARING APPAREL. Mary Jones was charged with stealing several articles of wearing apparel, at Sow Hill, Pontypool, the property of Mary Crawley. Sarah Griffiths, who spoke English so badly that she was desired to give utterance in her vernacular tongue, when Mr. Edwaids became her interpreter, stated that she was the wife of a seller of ware at Pontypool, and that the prisoner and the prosecutrix lodged at her house lately. Several articles of wear- ing apparel were left by Crawley in her lodgings when she left some time since, and on the morning of this day fortnight, the prisoner left her house at two o'clock. The clothes were afterwards missed, and information thereof was given to the prosecutrix. Mary Crawley, being sworn, stated that having received in- formation of the robbery, she traced the prisoner to a lodging- house in Mill-street, in this town, where she found her with the stolen property. PC Hewish, being sworn, stated that on receiving informa- tion from the last witness, he went to the lodging house, and took the prisoner into custody with the stolen clothes upon her person. The clothes were here produced by Hewisb, and identified by Mary Crawley. The prisoner said, with many sobs, that all she had stolen from the prosecutrix was an old collar and a piece of bonnet ribbon. The bonnet, gown, &c, &c, were given to her by her sister. Mr Edwards—who had examined the parties very closely- said it appeared to him that the woman Griffiths kept a bad house, and that the two girls were bad characters and he had no doubt that the clothes said to be Crawley's, were the pro- perty of both in common. The Mayor said he was sorry that the proof was too clear against the prisoner to admit of a doubt that his duty was to commit her for trial.—She was accordingly committed to take her trial at the Assizes. BID ALES. William Morgan, an inhabitant of that Goshen of "heavy wet," Friars' Fields, was charged with selling beer without a license on the 19th ult. Sergeant Huxtable proved the case, as far as appearances went, but offered no direct evidence that beer was being sold on 'he premises. Patrick Ryan, a I' green" 'un from the recruit-ranks of the 73rd, stated that he was one of the select at Mister Morgan's hid-ale, where he had bought a half-gallon of beer, for which he paid a shilling. Adjourned to Monday for further testimony. James Fraaklyn was charged with selling beer in his house without a license. Sergeant Huxtable proved that there was a cask of beer in Franklyn's house, and a large number of persons drinking. Franklyn told him that he was merely celebrating a birth-day with a few choice friends. James Wall, haullier, was sworn, and gave his evidence with evident reluctance. He was drinking at Franklyn's, he acknowledged, and was rather fresh," but he had paid for the beer though he couldn't remember who drew it, or from whence it was drawn—not he. In sooth, if the Court would but take his word, he saw nothing, felt nothing, heard no- thing, smelt nothing, tasted nothing, and knew nothing ;— and in fact he seemed a good-for-nothing fellow altogether, as regarded such matters. Louisa Leach was next examined, and proved that she saw a cask of beer at Franklyn's house; that she was sitting with the last witness, and drinking with him and that he saw as well as herself, who drew the beer, and where it came from, for they sat close by the barrel. Some consultation was held between Mr. Pike, the clerk, and the Bench, relative to the propriety of prosecuting Wall for perjury. Air Hawkins, having called up Wall in the prisoners' dock, (old him he had perjured himself grossly and it would be only justice to prosecute him on that serious charge. He had confessed he was drunk, and should therefore be fined 5s for that offence. On promising to pay the fine next Monday, the prisoner Wall was discharged. Mr Hawkins, addressing Franklyn, told him that the charge of selling beer without a license was clearly proved against him, and as the magistrates were determined to put down all bid-ales," they would begin to make examples by fining him in the lowest penalty allowed by law, namely, :£5, and the expenses; and if this sum were not paid within seven days, a distress warrant would be issued against his goods. Franklyn said, there were many other bid-ales besides his own, and he didn't see why be should be charged more than they. He hadn't a farden in the blessed world, and couldn't pay now, nor before the term were up. The Magistrates informed him, that if he would give pro. per information against persons who were holding bid-ales, they should be prosecuted like himself. The notorious John Walford, whose past flagranciei and narrow escapes have passed into a proverb, was charged with selling beer without a license. James Stephens, a witness who had been duly apprised of the necessity for appearing this morning, not answering to his name, Sergeant Huxtable stated that he had reason to believe Stephens had received something from the family of Walford to keep out of the way for a whIle; but he was known to be in Brecon. The case was then remanded till next Monday, ia order to summon Stephens. VERY KL'STIC. A man named Charles Godwin, who represented himself as the brewer of Mr. Gregory, Canal Parade, was charged with being found sleeping by the hay rick of Mr. W. Townsend, merchant. iinn t'lat l'ie. Pr'soneri who wanted a little relaxa- Townsend's fipU TT8 a week of toiI- mis'ook Mr" Ipred thouphil t grounds, into which he saun- bafmv^^ In* .af,eur «*king sundry sniffs of the mowu'hav h„Urn h 8 ,heLdelicious f»g"»nce of the new- S !u- Uy lnuthe *hadow of «he rick, and fell "ft.1? th.s condition, the policeman found him at night, ^se,rfibi:4hi,tg.nap' bWt kiDd* «•* «■ Statfon- house to fin"b It. Mr. Townsend said he had lost a lot of hay lately end had ID consequence wished to look that way occasionally but thii man nai Jmiy {Q j,j, taspley, and he did net «ug.' fpoie he intended anything felonious by the rick. H. there- fore would not press the charge. The Mayor discharged the prisoner, with a caution not to lie about in such a disgraceful manner again.

TUESDAY, JULY 4. Before the Mayor, and T. Hawkins, Esq. CHARGE AGAINST A TOLL COLLECTOR. Charles Hopkins was charged by John Whitchurch with unlawfully demanding and taking a toll on the night of Mon- day last. It appeared that Mr. Whitchurch proceeded to Tinteme on Monday in a carriage and pair, with a party of friends, and paid the proper toll of Is to the defendant, Mr Hopkins. The same part" and carriage returned at a late hour, and defendant after some' little delay came out, and stated that it was past 12 o'clock, and Mr Whitcuurch must consequently pay a shilling. The party said it was not yet 12; but finding the toll-collector persist in his assertion that the time was up, and 'j1'" demand for the shilling, it was paid. On arriving 2} L LLTCU ,,s they proceeded to Mr Latch's public clock—by W.J0'1 j collector said he went—and it then wanted two minutes and it must consequently have been about twenty minutes to 1* when they were at the gate. Mr Whitchurch stated that he had not brought forward this charge from any vindictive feeling towards Mr Hopkins, but in justice to himself and the public at largo and he therefore hoped, that if the magistrates convicted the defendant, it would be in the smallest penalty. Mr Hopkins said he was sorry, but he bad made a mistake in the time. He had sent Mr Whitchurch the shilling next morning, but it was refused. The Bench then convicted the defendant in Is, and 17s 6d costs, and ordered him to return the shilling which had been unlawfully taken. The amount was immediately paid, and the court cleared.

THURSDAY, JUNE 15. Before the Mayor and Lewis Edwards, Esq. Samuel Valentine and William Seekree were charged with stealing a wheelbarrow from the coal yard of Mr Canwright, on Tuesday morning last. Mr Smythies appeared to watch the proceedings on behalf of the prosecutor. Samuel Thomas, sworn, stated that he saw the prisoners take the batrow off the yard, saying they had liberty to do so, and would return it at night. Thomas Thomas, foreman of the yard, sworn, said he had not given Valentine liberty to take the barrow. He found it at the Malpas lock partly filled with sand, but not being at that time in the possession of either of the prisoners. The prisoner Valentine assisted witness in bringing the barrow to Newport. The Mayor, addressing Seekree, said: There is no case made out against you, but in future keep better company— you are discharged. You (to Valentine) are too fond of talking, and have too great an opinion of your own abilities. The case against you is made out satisfactorily enough, but believing that you did not take the barrow with a felonious intent, we now discharge you, with a caution not to take the property of others to use for yourself, for although you may do so with honest motives, the law may some day find rea- son to check such proceedings with punishment. Mary Edwards, a prostitute, was committed to the House of Correction for a month, under the Town Act. This was a case of obstructing the pavement, and refusing to go home at a late hour. The Mayor directed the police to remove all persons who obstruct the footpaths, and lock them up at the Station, if they refuse to move and to take into custody all who refused to go home at a late hour, because the law presumed per- sons so lefusing, to be there with a felonious intent. These are directions which we hope will be stiictly attended to by our police force Valentine Eason was charged with assaulting with violem language and disgusting abuse, Mrs. Sarah Vowles on the 3rd instant. The defendant did not appear. The case was beard, but no order was made. BIGAMY. In the evening, William Donoughoe was charged with bi- gamy, for intermarying with one Martha Jones, while his first wife, Mary Donoughoe was still living. Martha Jones, a very good looking young woman, of respectable appearance, being sworn, stated that on the 24th of June. 1841, she was married in St. Woollos Church, in this town, by the late Rev. A. A. Isaacson, to the prisoner at the bar he represented his name to be Wm. Dunn, and the witness believed that to be his pro- per name, and in that they were married.—Mary Donoughoe was next sworn, and she stated that she was wife of the pri- soner at the bar, whose name was Wm. Donoughoe, and not Dunn. She was majried to him about 13 years ago, in the town of Tipperary, in Ireland, according to the rites of the Catholic Church. Subsequently they came to England, where they lived as man and wife at Bristol, Usk, Pontypool, and other places prisoner left witness, and went to live at Cardiff. Witness was informed that he had got married at Cardiff, in consequence of which she went to that town to make enquiries. —The case was adjourned till Friday, for the productiou of the registry of the second marriage. Anne Booth, on the application of her husband, Charles Booth, was bound over to keep the peace, for threatening the said Charles Booth, and putting him in fear of receiving some serious bodily harm from her.

DIVISION OF BEDWELTY, WEDNESDAY, JULY 5. Before the Rei. W. L. Morgan. William Mc Carthy was placed at the bar, charged with stealing money, the property of the Monmouthshire and Gla- morganshire Banking Company at Tredegar. Mr. Alfred Conway, cashier of the Tredegar Branch, stated that between 11 and 12 o'clock that morning, the prisoner came into the Bank, at Tredegar, and said he was a clerk out of em- ploy, and asked witness if he knew of a situation that would suit him, to which witness replied hat he did not. Prisoner then enquired if he were the principal of the office. Witness said he was not: that Mr. Harrhy was manager, but that he was engaged at the moment; he (witness) then left the office for the purpose of calling Mr. Harrhy, and on his retuin found the prisoner between the counters. Mr. Harrhy came shortly after and told the prisoner that he did not know of any situa- tion, whereupon prisoner left the Bank. Shortly before pri- soner came in witness had placed six heaps ot sovereigns on the mantle piece, 20 sovereigns in each. Immediately on pri- soner leaving, witness missed part of one heap, and asked Mr. Harrhy if he had taken it; Mr. Harrhy answering in the ne- gative, witness immediately went in pursuit ef prisoner, whom he saw running up a back street; he pursued, overtook him, and finally gave him into custody. While the prisoner was running he picked up a piece of old hat, which he present'y after threw down, and placed his foot upon it, and on cominb up with IhJm, the witness found eight sovereigns in it. The number of sovereigns taken from the heap on the mantle piece was eight. A woman, named Rachel Jenkins, who saw the prisoner running away pursued by Mr. Conway, and John Williams, a constable, who tOi>k prisoner into custody, corroborated tht evidence ot Mr. Conway in so much of the malter as they had witnessed. The prisoner was fully committed for trial at the ensuing Assizes.

CARDIFF POLICE—JULY 3. Piesent—C. C. Williams, Esq., Mayor. UNWHOLESOME MEAT. David Gregory, inspector of Cardiff markets, produced II the bench a lamb which he had seized from David Morgan, r. butcher. It was wholely uufit for human food.

Thomas, No. 4, said that between, iland 12 o'clock there was a great disturbance 10 Maryanne-street. The prisoner, who was drunk, was stripped and fighting.

Fined five shillings and costs, and in default of paying the same, to be put in the public stocks. John Lee, a gardener, charged Elizabeth Lewis and Hannah M'Donald, with cutting sundry cabbages from his fLee's) gar- den, and cabbaging the same for their own use. John John said, that having occasion to visit his back garden between ten and eleven o'clock on the night of Tuesday week last, he saw the two women charged, one of whom had hei apron-full of cabbages, which they threw over the wall. He (witness) observed that they might expect the police to be searching their houses before long. Fined 2s. 6d. each, and to pay the value of the cabbages taken.

ACTIVITY GF THE CARMARTHENSHIRE MAGISTRACY, &C.— Precautionary measures to prevent the possibility of breach 01 the peace continue to be adopted by the magistracy. The ma. rines have gone from Pater to Cardigan, and two troops of the Castlemartin yeomanry have arrived at Narbeth from Pembroke About thirty ot the fourth Dragoons left Carmarthen for New- castle on Sunday, from which place they returned to Carmar- then on Tuesday night. Other troops are to be stationed heie and, in fact, the whole country is to be studded with soldiers, who are to be kept continually shifting their quarters, so that the Rebeccaites may be quite unable to calculate at any time upon their presence at any particular place. The magazine on Picton-terrace is to be formed into a barracks for troops, and it is said that two hundred or more will be stationed atCarmai- then. The gate-levellers have continued their nocturnal de- predations as usual. We understand that Major Parlby has refused to allow his dragoons to be harassed any more by being sent about the country in the dead of the night, on fruitless ex- peditions after Rebecca—they knock up their horses, and re- ceive no marching money for it. Colonel Love and Colonel rrevor are still here. Lord Cawdor and Colonel Powell, lord- lieutenant of Cardiganshire, have been in Carmarthen during th# week,
