Her husband was very ill, and the brokers would have sold the bedstead whereon lie was lying had not the neighbours interfered. 0 ie or two friends had bought in some of the furniture, consist- ing of a few chairs and table, and this, with the bed her husband was now lying on, was all the furniture that remained of what they had originaHy taken into the house. Another hardship was that Lbe owner of the house had let it over their heads. She had eight children to maintain, and could not leave the house.

The complainant struok him with a sling shot. When a dog had a bad name it was as well to hang him at once, and he supposed he would get into it. But he hoped the Bench would give him a chance. —The Mayor You shall have a chance. We fine you 10s 6d, or 14 days.—Defendant: 1 can do that on my head.

Tile landlord asked him to lea, e the house, a d de- fendant struck h;m on the haud with a piece of iron that seemed like a bolt.—Defendant said he came to Newport with a shipowner and drank a glass of brandy—the first for five years—and it t..k effect on him Later ia the day he took a man who had done h, in a kindness to the Prince of Wales, and he cer- tainly became excited when complainant would not serm him.

A FORTUNATE Esc-krE.-Witti.m Landeis, a tall young labourer, was summoned for assaulting Horatio Swatm, a negro steward on board the s.s. Merlin, of Swansea, now lying in the river.-The assault took plce at a late hour on Saturday night ne..r the Ebbw Vale whiirf, complainant and a couple of shipmates be.n,; on their way to the Merlin at the time. Com- p ainant IUS knocked down without any provocation, 8Hd a companion of Landers threw a lump of iron ore at his head, which cut it. Charles Firby. donkeyruan, *os a-so knocked do* n, and though he could not say w jo ija Swann stated that it was the defend- ant. Mr. barker, defendant's solicitor, assured the i? j tbuS Was a case of mistaken identity, and ^lled a brother and sister of Landers who deposed ih.it be was at home when the assaults on Swann aud Firi,y were committed. Air. Parker also handed in a letter from Messrs. Pickford, Ford, and Co tim- ber merchants, giving defendant a good character. Ihe alibi was rather weakened by Swann identifying defendant's sister as a ye-tidg woman who witnessed the assault, and to whom he spoke after Lenders had hit him. — The Bench had a strong conviction that de- ti-ndant committed the assaultR. but feeling a doubt th,y disaiissed the case. Dr. Woollett sa d it was a grievous thing that two seamen going quietly on board then vessel should be maltreated. CRUELTY TO A HORSE.-Henry Beech Comley, bake., B.rnard To-vn, was summoned for cruelty to a horse by working it whilst in a,, until state.—On the 7th instant P.C. Tooze was on duty near Newport bridge when be saw defendant's bread cart. Tie bo.se in the cart went Very lame, and on the const ale examining it he observed two raw wounds and two that v\ ere freshly healed. '1 he horse seemed to be in great pain, and it was in a very bad state. The constable followed the cart to defendant's shop and saw Comley, who said he was not aware of the animal's condition, but the driver contradicted that statemeut, and told the officer that defendant ordered him to take the horso out. The evidence of Tooze as to the horse's condition was corroborated by P.C. Wheeler. Tn reply to defendant, the witnesses stated that the horse was not in bad condition as regards flesh. They ako ad- mitted that an attempt had been made to arrange the harness 80 that it should not irritate the worst wound. —James Brown, inspector of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals, saw the horse six days after the date spoken to by the police. It was out at urass, and not fit to woik then.—Defendant stated that he bought the horse by auction for £ 11 10s,about ten days previous to the 7th, and it was then without blemish. Owiog, however, to the carelepsness of his man girth calla ere caused and he kept the horse in for a tew days, but not long enough apparently. As to the lameness of the animal, that was temporary and caused by a tight shoe.-A man named Gray, who ex- amined the horse after the police took it home on the 7th, stated that the open wounds he saw appeared to be fresh ones.-M.cbael Nolan, farrier, and Charles Mc Carthy were also called for the defence, but their testimony did not materially improve deft adant's posi. tion. --Since June last defendant has paid no less than £ 7 in fines for cruelty. He was now fined the full pmalty of £ 5, and the Bench warned defendant that if brought up again he would stand a chance of being sent to gaol without the option of a fine. CHARGE OF STEALING AND EMBEZZLEMENT. Ed- ward Bush, sweep, was charged with stealing a pair of shoes from the house of John Jones, who lives in Lwis-street. The prisoner was appreheuded wearing the shoes, and Mary Ann Simpson, the prosecutor's servant, stated that they viere missed after prisoner had been to the house to sweep a chimney. The pri- soner was further charged with embezzling 163., the pioperty oi Thomas Williams, his late employer.-He pleaded guilty to stealing the shoes and to embezzling 6s.—Senteneed to six weeks' hard labour on each charge. STEALING AND RECEIVING.—Emily Grfffiths and Annie Ellen Gould, domestic servants, were charged, the former with stealing X5, the money of John Da- vies, butcher, Commercial-road, and the latter with receiving it, well knowing it to have been stolen. P.C. Dukelow proved apprehending prisoners, who handed him several articles which had been bought with the money.—Prisoners pleaded guilty.—Prosecutor said he did not wish to press the charge, and only wanted the girls cantioned. -Prisoners were ordered to be detained at the police-station for two days, the Bench hoping this would prove a warning to them. ROBBERY AT A PUBLIC HOUSE.—Alice Wynne was charged with stealing three glasses from the bar of the Windsor Castle public-house.—P.C. Nursey deposed to apprehending the prisoner on suspicion of stealing the glasses. She was then very drunk.—The landlady of the Eastern Valley public-house, stated that on Monday evening prisoner came into her bar and offered the glasses for sale. Sho ref used to buy them. -Pro. secutrix stated that on Monday the prisoner came into her house, but she did not see ber take anything.

THE — — H 1Hnnonthsire )!l1trlin. NEWPORT, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1884. THE TREDEGAR AGRICULTURAL SHOW. THIS week bas witnessed the annual celebration in Newport of an institution which has long held an important place in onr local annals. The show of live stock, agricultural implements, ;&c. with which the name of the Tredegar family is honorably associated is now recognised as being not merely an interesting event in itself-bot gradual growth from comparatively insignificant dimensions has at length secured I for it a very creditable position in relation to other displays of a like kind. The readers of the Merlin are familiar with the history of this institution, and many of them have marked its advance from being merely a small collection at CoTirt-y-bella of animals bred iby local farmers, to a position more reputable than perhaps its most sanguine friends would have predicted for it five-and-twenty years ago. At first strictly local, and designed principally to encourage the raising of a good class of animals and the employment of improved methods of agriculture among the tenantry of the Tredegar Estate—it has now attained proportions which invest it with interest for agriculturists generally and the prizes (once confined to a comparatively small number living in the neighb orhood) are now dislributed to different and distant phtta of the kingdom. Nor is this last-mentioned fact matter for regret. Agree- able as it would be, considering the origin and history of the Tredegar Show, that the bulk of the prizes should find their way to the homes ot agriculturists living, say, in Gwent and Morganwg-yet such a retention of the prizes in this neighbourhood is a matter of little or no importance when compared with the advantages derived from extended compe- tition. It is eertainly gratifying to notice that -our local friends docarry away a great number of prizes in; the Variousdepartments but there would be less ground for such gratification if the sphere of com- petition were narrower than it is. The stimu- lus afforded by extended rivalry leads to improvement, and when local competitors carry ofl the prizes under the conditions now adopted in connection with the show, the result is the more laudable in proportion to the number of competitors against whom the winner has had to contend. If we are to accept the conclusions of the judges as final and satisfactory (and 8nre,y this onghfto^ teJ^(rlM\tbe\6 be 80m° indabitable If"™*0 contrary) we most snppose that the men who deserve the prizes get them, and tViom f/1181mply because they deserve n er the existing arrangements, no one, we opine, would contend that local .,en p°btain prizes on any other ground than that of merit; and if merit is to be the sole test, and thejudges are held to be qualified for their work, the conclusion is, that local competitors win when they ought to win, and only then. If it be replied to this that neigh- bouring agriculturists should not in any case be exposed to this all-round competition, the I answer is obvious, viz., that if this competition were withdrawn the show would be divested I of a feature which has greatly contributed to its expansion, and would again become a matter of simply local concern. It can scarcely be supposed that even the most ardent Supporters of home interests would desire so to change the progressive character, and con- sequently limit the usefulness, of the institution —remembering especially, as they should, that the Tredegar Agricultural Show is located in a district where signs of progress and expan- sion are observable on every hand. The ordinary measure of success was last year impossible of attainment through the prevalence of the cattle disease. The show was thus divested of a primary feature, and I was correspondingly limited as to its interest. At present, happily, the disease does not exist, and the effect is strikingly Been in the I largest number of entries for cattle ever recorded. Indeed the total Dumber of entries, I taking the aggregate of all classes, is only a few under the highest ever attained-a fact upon which, considering the depressed con- dition of agriculture generally, Lord Tredegar and his friends may be congratulated. It may fairly be hoped, too, that the success of this I year is but a presage of still further ad vance- ment in the future.
NEWPORT & DISTRICT NEWS.
NEWPORT & DISTRICT NEWS. NEWPORT. WE hear that the Rev. W. Conybeare Bruce, Vicar of St. Woolos, Newport, has been appointed Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of Bangor. THE REV. J. CADWALLADER, late chaplain of the county prison at Usk, has been presented to the living of Littleton-on-Severn. A GOLDEN WEDDING. Mr. and Mrs. J. Baker, of Orchard Farm, Peterstone, near Newport, celebrated their golden wedding last week. 1 hey are aged respectively 82 and 72, and were married in 1834. The venerable couple have 11 children living, eight of whom are married the grandchildren number 32. Mr. Baker is the oldest tenant on the Tredegar estate. Among the presents received by Mr. and Mrs. Baker on the jubilee of their wedding day was a handsome floral album from Colonel Justice, Lord Tredegar's agf nt. LEGAL.—The following gentlemen were suc- cessful at the final examination held in London on the 4th and 5th inst. :-Thomas B. Jones, articled to Messrs J. D. Pain and Son and Frank Lewis, articled to Messrs F. S. and C. Dauncey. The following were also successful at the intermediate examination held on the 6th inst. A. G. Batchelor, articled to Mr. G. Batchelor; and T. R. P. Herbert, articled to Mr Edward Lawrence. MR. MARTIN EDWARDS was on Saturday unanimously appointed clerk to the justices of the Pontypool Petty Sessional Division. STOW HILL BAPTIST CHAPEL.—The Rev. J. Douglas preached his valedictory sermon at this place of worship on Sunday evening, after a pastorate ex- tending over nearly ten years. The rev. gentleman delivered an earnest discourse on the promises of God, and at the close he thanked the congregation for the kindness shown him during his sojourn among them. Three persons were baptised after the sermon. The chapel was crowded. ACCIDENT WITH A REVOLVER.—Between one and two o'clock on Monday Mrs Webber, landlady of the Brewery Inn, Llanarth-street, was shot under circumstances which afford a striking illustration of the danger attending the careless handling of firearms. It appears that a young man connected with the circus in Friars Fields asked Mrs Webber to lend him a pistol for a few hours, and she let him have a revolver left in her care by a sailor several months ago. It being assumed that the weapon was unloaded, the young man pointed it to the ground and pulled the trigger. Unhappily one chamber contained a cartridge which exploded, and the bullet first struck the stone floor then re-bounded, and lodged in the landlady's thigh. The poor woman fainted from loss of blood, but a medical man who was sent for succeeded in extract- ing the bullet, and stopping the hoemorrhage. Mrs. Webber is likely to do well. Tbe unlucky cause of the accident gave himself up to the police at the temporary Town Hall, but it was not thought neces- sary to detain him. SCNDAY SCHOOL CONFERENCE.—On Monday afternoon a conference of teachers belonging to the local Sunday School Union was held at the Victoria- road Chapel. There was a fairly good attendance, and amongst those present was Mr E. Towers, a deputation froiii the parent union. The Rev. J. Idrisyn Jones presided. Mr G. H. Llewellyn read a suggestive paper on "Advantages of a Local Union, and how best to utilise thom," An animated discussion fol- lowed. Mr Henry Taylor introduced the next sub- ject, "How to Retain our Senior Scholars," throwing out some practical hints, and especially dwelling upon tpersonal influence on the part of teachers. Tea was provided in the school-room. A public meeting was held in the evening, when the Rev. E. Walrond- Skinner gave an address on The Sunday School a I Factor in our Educational System" and the Rev. R. Montgomery Rees, B.A., spoke on The Teachers' Work and Wages."
