Brown, late steward of the University Club, Cardiff, has been appointed steward of the Pembroke County Club in this town. Mr Brown took over his duties on the 31st ult. Collision.—On Thursday last week a two- seated motor car belonging to Captain Clarkeston was being driven up Perrott's Road, when it collided with Messrs W. F. Thomas's motor delivery van. Both cars sustained some injury but were able to re- turn to Haverfordwest unaided. Accident.—On Saturday morning a horse attached to a two-wheeled cart, belonging to Messrs W. John ct Son, was standing outside their premises in Ouay Street when a motor-car frightened it. Be- fore it could be quietened it bad upset the cart and itself but fortunately no damage was done. Slight Accident-During the past week there has been a dearth of accidents and the only one worth recording was a minor injury to a soldiers' arm sustained by falling across the thwarts of a boat. The man was admitted to the Infirmary but after having his injuries dressed was able to leave the institution. Obituary. The death has occurred at Llandrindod Wells of Aldermen Evan Bufton, J.P., at the age of 7: He was the father of Mr T. Bufton, of the London and Provincial Bank, Haverfordwest. Alderman Bufton was one of the pioneers of Llan- drindod Wells and a prominent figure in Calvinistic Methodist and Liberal circles. He was an auctioneer by profession. More Frightened Than Hurt.—On Tuesday evening a youth in the employ of Mr W. John was driving a pony and governess car down Horn's Lane, when the animal became mixed up with some zinc troughs, etc., just unloaded from a cart. The pony managed to turn the cart over and throw the driver out, but fortunately no damage was sustained by any of the parties concerned, Sunday School Anniversaries. Next Sunday anniversary services in connection with Albany and Ebenezer Churches will be held morn- ing, afternoon and evening. At Albany the preacher will be the Rev. R. Bond Thomas, and at Ebenezer Rev. T. Griffiths, B.A., Bethesda. Special features at both churches will be the hymns, Ac., of the children, and collections will be taken in aid of the respective Sunday school funds. Rural District Council Election. An election to fill the vacancy on the Haverfordwest Rural District Council caused through the retire- ment of Mr J, Wathan Thomas took place on Wednesday last. There were two candidates, viz.: Mr Charles Mathias, of Llangwarren and Lamphey Court, and Mr John Henry Harries, signalman on the G.W.R. The result of the voting was announced as follows;— Charles Mathias 15 I John Henry Harncs 13 1 I Pembroke, the Premier County.—On the ;;>th ult. Mr II. E. H. James, B.A., Director of Education, lectured to the Haverfordwest Cymric Society on Pembroke, the Premier County. The lecturer based his claim on historical facts, and said that it was the first regularly constituted Shire in Wales, having been made a County Palatine about 113S. He gave short sketches of the lives of famous Pembrokeshire men and clinched his arguments by remarking that of the ten statues of famous Welsh- men to be erected in the Cardiff City Hall, five were Pembrokeshire men and the choice was made, not by Pembrokeshire people but by the whole of Wales. Rev. W. Mendus presided and the usual votes of thanks concluded the meeting. Soldiers' Social at Bethescla.-Tho socials given in honour of our soldier guests at Bethesda schoolroom are increasing in popularity, and on Good Friday evening there were close on a hundred present. The ladies who are making a special effort to provide pleasant and profitable entertainment for these deserving lads had not anticipated quite such a large attendance, and the refreshments needed economic supervision in order to make them meet the unexpected demands. Fortunately, however, everything panned out satisfactorily, and one of the most successful and pleasant evenings yet held was brought to a close at the usual hour. It is impossible to bestow too much praise on the willing workers who labour so arduously in such an excellent cause, and when it is remembered that the soldiers are charged only one penny for their supper it will be seen how much is due to the generosity and help of sympathising friends. On Friday evening quite an interesting social was arranged by Sergt. Williams, and altogether a most enjoyable time was spent. Tabernacle Guild.—On Thursday evening last, the above Guild terminated its meetings by a social evening arranged by the gentleman members. We are pleased to state that the^lunction was in every way a greater success than its promoters bad ventured to anticipate. Visitors were entertained to a sump- tuous repast, which had been prepared by Mrs E. N. Jones, Mrs C. S. Davies, and Mra D. J. Lloyd. This was followed by a miscellaneous programme of music- al and literary items, to which a pianoforte solo was contributed by Miss D. Hammond, solos by Miss Victoria Davies, Messrs W. S. White, R. Walters, W. Morris, and Pte. Davies, and recitatious by Messrs C. James and W. S. Noot. This in turn was crowned by a farcical sketch, en- titled Mixern's Matrimonial Mart," in which it so happens that during the absence of Mr Mixem, his Irish assistant attempts to carry on the delicate business of the establishment. He finds considerable difficulty in doing so, but meets, as the sequel shows, with complete success. The Irish character was ad- mirably sustained throughout by Mr R. G. Walters, who charmed the audience by the skilful manner in which be dealt with the various clients. Miss Victoria Davies as a bashful maiden, and Miss Cissy James as an irate mother-in-law, fully deserved tho vociferous applause which greeted their efforts in their respective roles. Mr Cecil James made an ideal masher, while Mr Gwilym Evans and Mr W. S. Noot who took the parts of an irate son-in-law, and an old deaf bachelor respectively, left nothing that could be desired. The duties of accompanist were shared by Miss N. Devereux and Mr Colin Jenkins. The Rev. E. N. Jones who presided, heartily thanked all those who had contributed to make the evening a success and the singing of the English and Welsh National anthems brought a very enjoyable evening to a close.

Pembrokeshire Quarter Sessions. Sessions. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST TWO SOLDIERS. THE LATE LADY ST. DAVIDS. The Easter t,) tarter Sessions for the county of Pembrokeshire were hald at the Shire Hall, Haver- fordwest, on Tuesday, before Sir Charles Philipps and other justices. THE GRAN D JURY. illia Grand Jury was composed of the following Messrs. W. Roberts (foreman), J. Be,too, J. D:tvies, C. Jenkins, \V. C. Jones, T. Malbias, R. Ponrv J. G. Piiilpin, J. D. L nvis, (J. Ress, P. G. Richards J. Richards, J. G. lised, W. Scale, D. Williams. T. 11. Hughes, P. John, and G. Merriman. LATE LADY ST. DAVIDS. The Cliairmin, before commencing the business, referred to the great loss the county had sustained tnrough the death of Lady St. Davids and on behalf of the court, offered most heirtfelt sympathy to the Lord Lieutenant and his family in their great and unexpected bereavement. Since Lady St. Davids took up lie,, residence IU the county she had most heartily and warmly identified herself with its life, its work, and its doings, and they could bear witness to the leading pirt she had taken in every thing concerned with the good and welfare of the county. All of them remembered the very eloquent address she gave in that hall on a very recent occasion, when the claims of that splendid and noble organisation, the Red Cross Society, were being advocated. They would remember how very warmly Lady St. Davids identified herself with that society and how she worked hard and earnestly, in season and out of season, for its great good. Her ladyship took a verv great interest in everything that concerned the wel- fare of the county at large. She was incessantly at work in her own neighbourhood, in the cause of education, the cause of health, and the cause of everything that made up the welfare of the people. She had gone from them all too soon, leaving behind the memory of a great and noble life, and it would be a very long time before they would forget her. Sir Charles proposed a resolution recording the Court's sincere regret at the loss the couuty had sustained by the death of Lidy S3. Dtvids and offering the Lord Lieutenant and his family heart- felt sympathy in their sorrow and bereavement. Mr G. H. Llewellin seconding, said Lady St. Davids lived a strenuous life, which she spent for the benefit and in the service of those who were less fortunate than herself. She was chief organiser of the South Wales Nursing Association and an enthu- siastic supporter of the British Red Cross Society. To these and other philanthropic works Ladv St. Davids gave much more than her wealth and influ- ence. She used in the furtherance of those good works, her brilliant and persuasive oratory. ft dUHIll of speech and manner that were irresistible and never failed to ensure interest and support. Her high ideals and intellectual gifts and attainments were as rare as it was to find a larly of her position spending her life for the cot)iiiloli ?, her life for the common good of humanity. Mauy a stricken and wounded soldier on the battlelields of Europe to-day and innumerable mothers throughout South Wales, had good cause to"remember and revere her memory for the succour they received in their hour of need. The mist which enveloped the grim old castle of iloch on Saturday was typi- cal of the gloom which Lady St. Davids death in the prime of life had cast over Pembrokeshire, South Wales, and even over parts of the great Metropolis, where she had worked in- cessautly to create a better feeling and a more sympathetic understanding between the rich of the West and the poor of the East. He was sure the hearts of all of them, and of all who knew Lord St. Davids, would go out ill sympathy to him and his two soldier sous in their great loss. The resolution was carried by all standing, and the clerk of the peace (Mr 11. A. Wheatleyi was directed to forward a copy to Lord St. Davids. THANKS FOR SYMPATHY. Mrs Owen Williams and Mr E. W. Jones wrote thanking (L> lartsr Sessions for their resolutions of sympathy m the bereaveiiient, they had sustained by the deaths of Col. Owen Williams and Major Harmon, respectively. THE CHARGE. The Chairman, in charging the Grand Jury, con- gratulated the county upon its wonderful absence from crime. Considering the large number of troops in the county, and employes in the dockyard, they would rejoice with him that the calendar showed such splendid results. There was one case to come before them, affecting two men, both of whom, he was sorry to say, were soldiers. Sir Charles then proceeded to refer to the case in detail. COMPENSATION I The recommendation of the Compensation and Confirming Committee to the effect that the maximum charge be tixed as the amount of the compensation levy for the year IDI J-K! was agreed to.

TRIAL OF PRISONERS. LENIENCY TOWARDS SOLDIERS. Idris Davies, :W, soldier, and Michael Scannell, I, soldier, pleaded guilty to stealing in the dwelling- house of William John, at Monkton, on January 2,-4,h the sum of 131 los, in money. Mr Mervyn Howell, prosecuting, said the prisoners were members of the King's Shropshire Light Infantry. They were billeted upon the prosecutor and his wife. On January -20th the prosecutor's wife had occasion to leave the house, Prior to doing so she placed the money, which was in a satchel I, between the bed and the mattress in her bedroom. Prisoners were in the kitchen at the time. aud whether they saw her transfer the money or not was not known. Mrs John went out and on her return found the prisoners still in the house. She gave them their dinner and they then went upstairs to clean themselves. Later they went out, saying they were going for a walk. Prisoners did not return. On the following morning Mrs John missed the money. Subsequently prisoners were arrested at Cardiff as deserters. It was stated that there was no officer from the regiment in court and that nothing was known against the prisoners. Daviea, in a statement which he handed in to the court, said he was very sorry he committed the crime. He was in drink at the time and did not realise the crime till it was done. He had a wife and child. This was the lirst time he had ever com- mitted any crime. He was willing to return to the army and pay back the money he stole in weekly instalments till it was all paid off. Prisoner added that he was sure the captain was willing to take him back to the regiment. Scannell appealed for leniency for the sake of his wife and children. He asked for a chance to pick himself up, saying that when he realiserl what lie had done lie gave himself up to the police. He wanted to get back to his regiment to do his duty and not to be called a coward. He added, I put my trnst in God that you will give me another chance." Counsel said prisoners had spent all the money they stole. P.C. Friendship deposed to receiving the prisoners in custody. At first they denied the charge. Both prisoners stated that they walked from Pembroke to Tenby, and afterwards towards home. Counsel, in reply to questions, said the prisoners voluntarily surrendered themselves as being absentees from their regiment. P.S. James deposed that prisoners, when in the cells at Pembroke, each made a voluntary statement that they stole the money. lie believed they had both borne a good character in the army. Mr J. Ball, governor of Carmarthen Prison, where the prisoners had been awaiting trial since Feb- ruary lX, said their conduct had been good. The Chairman said it was a very serious thing that soldiers billeted upon respectable people should abuse their hospitality by robbing them. At the same time they wanted to give the prisoners a chance, if the officers were willing to receive them back into the regiment..That being so, the court would bind the prisoners over in their own recognisances to come up for judgment when called upon. He hoped they would both go back to their regiment and do their duty to the country, thus showing that they recognised the great kindness and leniency which the Bench had extended towards them. SERVING HIS COUNTRY. The case of Arthur Sharpe, "21, remitted from the last Quarter Sessions, was mentioned. Prisoner then failed to appear and his recognisances were estreated. It was stated that Sharpe was serving in the army and the governor of the gaol said he bad received no fnrther tidings of him. The Chairman said the court could do nothing further in the case at present.

EASTER IN THE CHURCHES. S. MARTIN'S. Worshippers at the above church have no reason to complain of lack of services on Good Friday and Eastertide. At 9 a.m. on Good Friday the Vicar preached the "Stations of the Cross," principally for children, and gave appropriate addresses. At 10.15 the litany and ante-communion, and following the usual custom from 12 to ii, the three hours' devotion, with seven addresses on the Seven Last Words. At 5.30 p.m., again following custom, a goodly number collected at the church, and the priest, acolytes, and choristers preceded by the cross started a Lenten procession to the principal parts of the parish. Stations were made at Queen's Square, Barn Street, City Road, North Gate, Swan Square. Castle Square, and Castle Terrace. At each station the Vicar in his homely way gave evangelical addresses on the "Passion of our Lord." Suitable hymns were sung during the procession. The day concluded with a mission service in the church at 7 p.m. On Easter Day the Holy Sacrifice wan offered at 7, S and ] I witii music. Evensong was solemnly snug at C p.m. The celebrant and i)rearlier throughout the day was the Vicar. The deeorations were more beautiful than usual, and thanks are due to Mrs John Rogers, Mrs Wheatley, Miss Gwen Matthews, the Misses Sage, Miss Baring-Gould, and Mr A. J. Wright. The offertories on Easter Day were for the Vicar.— CIJIIIi/1lt1/ i ('II t ('d. ST. l\L\HY'S. The Vicar preached morning and evening on Easter Sunday. There were four celebrations of Holy Communion, commencing at ii a.m. The Church was crowded both morning and evening and after the evening service, Mr S. H. Anstey, A.R.C.O., gave an organ recital.

Haverfordwest County Court. RABBITS. A FUNNY PRACTICE. At the Haverfordwest Co inty Court on Tuesday, before His Hiuo.u- Jud^e Lloyd Margin, K C. THE CUSTOM OF THE TRADE. Thomas J. Harrieo, Clarbeston Road, sued Alice Campbell, trading as A. Campbell A Co., Swansea, for £3 los OJ balance oi an account of I'O 103 01 due- for five lots of rabbits supplied. Mr R. T. P. William-, for the plaintiff, read a letter from the defendant, dated Ujhruiry Ssh lt)H saying she was surprised to receive his letter. She understood they had arranged for him to send on some rabbits, aud she expected him to be as good as his word. She would settle up as promised on receipt of rabbits. Mr A. B. Williams for the defendant, said that the rabbits were supplied in September, I'll I. Plaintiff: Those were paid for. Mr A. B. Williams: I am only giving her version. Mr lL T. P. Williams said that was referring to some rabbits that had been condemned by the Sanitary Inspector. Plaintiff: I gave her credit for Itis in lieu of them. Mr A. B. Williams, read a letter from plaintiff to defendant, saying he was surprised to hear that a whole hamper had been seized as they left all fresh. He only had one other complaint about that day's stuff, and that was a few that had turned oft" Could the whole hamper have been examined' Mr n. T. P. NVilliititi-, I have no right to inter- rupt, but what has this to do with the case ? His Honour I really don't know myself. Mr A. J:, Williams continuing, said that the rabbits were supplied in September, lllll, and were condemned. Plaintill went up to Swansea market in the following January and settled for E2, having regard to the number of rabbits condemned. Plaintiff: I never settled at all. Mr B. Williams: Here is her cheque to you for t'2.— f only accepted U-2 on account. Plaintiff, in reply to Mr A. B. Williams, further said that he was pressed for money and went to Swansea to try and collect some. Defendant wanted him to send her some more rabbits, but he told her she could not expect him to do so if she did not pay his account. He told her he was a bit hard up and if she would oblige him he flrould see what he could do. Of course he meant a cheque for the whole amount, hut she only gave him a cheque for 1:2. Hasn't she always paid you in full before, *I- I can- not say (looking at account book), No, here is a balance in nearly every lot. Didn't you suggest you should settle up Nothing of the kind. And you then said £ 2 "-N.o, sir. By the Judge: Plaintiff told her if she could-n't pay it all to piy what she could that night. Mr A. H. Williams: She says she ne\'er paid yon on account and did not ask for receipt because she paid by cheque and it was not the custom in the rabbit trade. His Honour: That's an extraordinary thing, that receipts in the rabbit trade are unknown. It's a funny practice and I think there ought to be an end to it. Plaintiff said he wrote for the money several times, which defendant denied. Defendant on oath said that the last consignment of rabbits were seized by the Inspector, and she sent plaintill a note to that effect. His Honour: That does not allude to the present case. You are making a mistake yourself. Mr R. T. P. Williams That was five months before (putting in document). The Inspector condemned 11 rabbits in September LII L She had credit for them. (Questioned by Mr A. B. Williams as to the alleged conversation in Swansea market, defendant said plaintiff asked her for some money, as he was re- building his house and had had a lot of sickness. She replied that she did not reckon she owed him anything. He said You do, let's come to a settle- ment. Say you pay me fit out of the t.-I los She said that she did not get that for the rabbits, and they came to an arrangement for her to pay t2. She had not her cheque book with her and she sent up to the shop to ask her husband if lie- was willing for her to pay the t2. He s^d he was and she gave Air Harries a cheque for Her son and daughter were present at the time. Mr H. T. P. Williams put in a postcard, dated 2-^th October, ln 1, saying defendant would send a cheque the next week, and referring to the previous letter Mr \Villiam;; again read the sentence I will settle up as promised on receipt of rabbits." Defendant said that referred to the rabbits coming on which plaintiff had promised to send. His Honour It is capable of that construction. Eventually, however, be found for plaintiff, defen- dant to pay 10s a mouth. RABBITS AGAIN. Mr T. f. Harries also sued Benjamin and Ann James, Landore, Swansea, for £ '.» 17s Kd for rabbits supplied. The latter defendant stated the traus- actions in question took place before she married her present husband, and his name was therefore struck out. Mr R. T. P. Williams for the plaintiff said that they abandoned a claim for 1(;s fl, to which they were entitled, but which would mean going back a long way. He put in a long letter in which defen- dant sent a cheque for X.5 2s (id and promised to pay a balance of £1 the following Saturday. There was a credit of 2s, for what were called slwletons," which waq alio\ved, together making a total of t(; Is till for which invoices were produced. The letter continued: Will you please send me six dozen rabbits, best quality, and further asked plaintiff to send defendant a nice Christmas box as her opponent got hers every year and she did not spli so iiitich is she did. Davie: of Ilaenclocho,$,' the letter went on, sends a goose or a turkey every year: Please take notice of this. Wishing you a merry Cnristmas aud a happy aud prosperous new year and with kind regards." There were further sales and payments, contiuued Mr Williams, making a balance due of .£!I ?7s ?J. Defendant put in a large number of bills, etc., together with Post Office receipts for money orders sent, which, however, were found to be credited in the books produced, and denied certain purchases. Plaintiff put in his invoice book and swore that he had personal knowledge of each transaction. His Honour said he must find for the plaintiff on the accounts and made an order for CI to be paid at the rate of los a month.
