Knew nothing of any fines.—Mr Harris addressed the Bench, and contended the r gr-ement was not a proper indenture. — Mr Plews replied and held that the document was as binding as any indenture could be. and the Bench having consulted decided that Nash was bound to finish the term of his apprenticeship, and ordered him to return and find one surety for the due performance of his contract.—Nash said he would rather work every hour in prison than go back. LEAVING WORK —John MeGrath. labourer, was charged as above by the Tredegar Iron Co. Defendant had to attend to the boilers in the puddling and blast engine, and had stayed away from Monday to Friday. Thos.

POLICE.—The list for Monday cantained only four cases, one being a charge of larceny, and the others for assault and drunkenness, mostly amongst the Irish. On Monday next a ease of some importance will be heard. The land- lady of a public-house, by inadvertence, it is hoped, altered the figures on her brewing paper from four to two. The defence will be that she intended brewing the former quantity, but changing her mind she halved it. Mr Bolgar has taken the matter Uf), and be will assuredly see that the affair is thoroughly sifted. BLAINA. FTTNERAL OBSEQUIES.—On Saturday afternoon every shop in the village of Blaina was partially closed, and in every house the blinds were lowered out of respect to Mr LI. Williams, who was buried on that day. The funeral arrangements were entrusted to Mr Chas. Jones, of Blaina. The Odd Fellows' club headed the cortege, and Messrs Gunter, J. Jones ("Cymro Bach"), and a few picked vocalists, conducted by Mr D. Bowen, sang some of the old fashioned Welsh tunes -n the way to the graveyard, which was distant about M miles. The procession started for Blaina Gwent Chapel at 3.20, and reached its destination at 4.45. The Rev Mr Michael having addressed a few words of consolation to the relatives and friends, the body was lowered into the vault amidst the sobs and sighs ef all pre- sent. The body was carried the whole distance, a fact which speaks for the respect entertained for the deceased by the several bearers, who would not bear of a hearse being used. A special train convey e 1 the whole party back to Blaina, Nantyglo, &c., at six o el ck. BEAUFORT. BENEFIT CONCKRT.—On Friday evening a grand concert was given in the British Schoolroom, which, we are happy to state, passed aC to the mutual satisfaction of both audience and proij iters. The programme, which w as a thorough good al) Taried one, was strictly adhered to, and was very creditably got through by all who took part in it. The proceeds, we understand, are to be handed over to the widow of the late Francis Williams, who came by his death through falling over a bridge on the Ebbw Yale and Trevil limestone road. The principal performers were Misses Watkins and Smith, Messrs Bowen, Glanville, Roberts, the Beaufort Philharmonic Band, Mr J. Gullivet and party, and Mr Golding, pianist, nearly all of whom gave their services gratuitously. Mr Daniel Gwillim, grocer, presided, and succeeded in getting through his duties very comfortably iudecd.
