SIR,-L have much satisfaction in communicating to you the result of my experience after repeated trials Of -PRA'IIPTON's PILL or HEALTH, and I feel it but jus- tice to state that in the course of many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found results at once salutary and efficient in the relief of the system from redundant bile, &c. &c., with so little inconvenience; am, therefore, warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means long wanting, of being able to recom- mend to Families, Schools, and especially Mercantile Men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most valuable resource in an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit to myself, if, in giving this testimony, I am the means ef making FRAMPTON'JS PILLS more generally known and appreciated. I am, Sir, respectfully yours, WILLIAM SMITH."

CVRE OF A SEVERE AFFECTION OF THE STOMACH. Sin,—I have been afflicted, for a long time, with a very severe complaint, and at times have discharged as much as a pint of blood from my stomach. I was under the care of a medical man, and was obliged to leave my work and return to my home, at Landore, near Swansea; and there seeing one of Mr. Worsdell's pamphlets, I was induced to purchase a box of his Pins, and happy am I to state, that I had scarcely taken the whole of them before I was enabled to return to my employment. EVAN DAVIES, Roller-man at the Copper Works. June 10th, 1813. Cure of Weakness, Shortness of Breath, and Pain in the Limbs. SIR,—I am anxious to communicate to you the great benefit I received from taking a few of your valuable Pills, called "Worsdell's Pills." A short time ago I had an attack of Typhus Fever; and just as I was recovering from its effects, I had an attack of the Pleurisv the combined influences of these left me so weak that I could hardly walk, from the stiff- ness in my limbs, shortness of breath, and extreme debility. All my neighbours were of opinion that I was -past recovery; but to my own great joy, and the astonishment of all around me, after taking three boxes of Worsdell's Vegetable Restora- tive Pills, I a, under the blessing of Uod, restored to my usual good health. And remain, your respectfully,—JAMES JONES. Pen vhank, Troedyraur, near Newcastle-Emlyn. Case of Cure communicated by Mr. E. Davies, Agent for Tredegar. SIR,—I have been afllicted for eighteen months with a severe headache, pain in the bowels, and a swelling all over the body, so that I was wholly incapable of following my em- ployment: all manner of medicines were obtained for me, but to no purpose; and at last I was advised to try Worsdell's Pills. I am delighted to inform you that, by taking th, in in daily doses for two months, I was restored to perfect health andstrength. 1 now follow my avocation with case and pleasure; and I make my case known, in the hope that others will be induced, under imilar circumstances, to take your valuable pills.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The book, has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience ill a elass of diseases which, for some unaccountable reason, have heen either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indifference, by the ordinary medical practitioner; and we feel no hesiatation in saving that there is no member of society by whom the book will not he found useful, whe- ther such person hold the relation of a I'AIIKNT, a ri £ i;ci;p- TOR, Ol & CLhKG\ MAN.—bllU The perusal ot Messrs.

THIS valuable Paste remains for a short time in a Tsoft state, so that it cannot give the least pain, and may be used by ¡,ny person with the greatest ease. It has the remarkable property of becoming hard and sound as the Tooth itself, excluding the air and food from the nerve, preventing further decay, and succeeding when other kinds of stopping have completely failed. N. B. The Succedaneum should be applied as soon as decay makes its appearance, it being a great error to delay until the Tooth becomes painful. Timely attention may preserve decayed Teeth for years. It has been used with great success by several persons in the vicinity of Carmarthen, and elsewhere. PREPARED BY R. M.

THE PATENT METALLIC CAPSULE, An Infallible Security against Fraudulent Substitutions for BE ITS"S Patent Brandy. T 0 those who recollect the nauseous and unwhole- _E_ some properties which distinguished the article known as British Brandy, previously to the year 1829, and the prediction that all attempts at competition with French Brandy could only result in an entire failure, the introduction of the Patent Brandy, at that period, was matter of much surprise;—combining, as it was found to do, all the essential properties of the finer Qualities of Brandy manufactured in France, with a degree of purity, and consequent wholesomeness, unknown in the latter. The existence of these valuable properties in BETTS'S P ATEXT BHANDY, was distinctly certified, after analysis, by some of the first Chemists of the day. That evidence has been fully sustained by the extensive support of the most eminent Medical Men and, very especially, by its long-established use, under Medical direction, in pre- ference to French Brandy, in the principal Infirmaries, Hospitals, and other Public Institutions, throughout the country; among which it will suffice to name Guy's and the Westminster Hospitals, in the metropolis, and the Manchester and Bristol Infirmaries. An unprecedented extent of sale has, likewise, marked its progress in pub- lic estimation. That an article possessed of such merits, and sold at little more than half the price of French Brandy, should not have entirely superseded the use of the Foreign, is only to be attributed to the fact, that the Patentee has had to struggle, not only with the original—and, it must be admitted, well-founded—prejudice against Brandy produced in this country but, also, against a constant succession of attempts to force into consumption inferior dcscriptions,-in many cases as substitutes for, and even under the name of, the Patent Brandy. The correction of this evil, which has long been mat- ter of extreme solicitude to the Patentee, is at length effected, by a METALLIC CAPSULE, or Covering for the Cork the exclusive manufacture of which is secured to him by Letters Patent. It is composed—NOT OF TIX- FOIL, an article much used, but-of perfectly pure and SOLID METAL; stamped hv the aid of powerful and costly machinery, into the exact size and shape adapted to the bottle; to which it is attached by simple, but most effective, means and its adhesion is so perfect, that it cannot be removed without being completely destroyed and, therefore, no Capsule can be used a second tune. The Patentee, by the aid of this most efficient gua- rantee against the frauds from which lie and his numerous connexions have so extensively suffered, will now be enabled to protect the interests of all concerned, whether as vendors or purchasers and if care be taken to ob- serve. that the Capsules attached to the glass bottles, have the words "BETTS'S PATEXT BKANTIY, No. 7, SMITHFIELD BAKS," embossed upon them, the genuine character of the contents may be relied upon i-an assu- rance that must equally induce Dealers and Consumers to give that support to an article of such superior value, which the Patentee feels satisfied has only been withheld, in certain quarters, from the previously-existing difficulty in guarding against the fraudulent substitutions here described. The Patent Brandy may be obtained from l iiii d iil d most of the Wine and Spirit Merchants in England and Wales, at Eighteen Shillings per Gallon in bulk;—In glass bottles, secured by the Patent Capsule, at Twenty Shillings per Gallon or, a single bottle, as sample, for Three Shillings and Sixpence.

[Advertisement.] CARMARTHEN NEW MARKETS. I TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." I SIR,—As 1 stated in my former letter, I shall now draw attention to the plans of Mr. Fowler, his specification, and his Remarks on the Design for the New Markets." I am glad to see that my letter of the week before last served as a jog to the Mayor's memory in the matter of Mr. Fowler's promises. But I am surprised that any per- son could have thought it possible to persuade any body of men that an offer for building the New Markets for less than £ 5000 was a misprint! Faugh! What non- less than jE5000wasa w<s/.)?'<<! Faush! Whatnon- Furthermore, why did Mr. Fowler alter the plans that the Council had approved of ? How came it that an ar- chitect (as he is) proffered to do the work of a builder, and offered to undertake a contract ? Is not this anything but professional ? I am given to under- stand that he employs an agent as surveyor, who is to charge 2 per cent on the contract. Why should this be done ? Will not the town have to pay dear enough for its whistle" tlreatly ? An efficient architect would ne- ver think of employing an under-agent. Altogether, Sir, it appears evident that the Council has been captivated by the prospects held out by Mr. Fowler in his Remarks" and that the councillors have never given themselves the trouble to ascertain that the original plans were fully carried out in the specifications. In the Remarks" Mr. Fowler says that" Water is raised by means of a force-pump to two large cisterns to be placed in the cen- tre of the Market, &c. This force-pump" is all ima- ginary no such thing is shown in the specifications or plans, nor is it intended to be erected in the Markets. Why was this force-pump inserted. at all in the Remarks, unless it ivts intended to be erected ? Again, Sir, there has been a great deal of talk in the Council about the iron-work of the markets, let us see what Mr. Fowler says upon that point. The last clause but one in his I I Reiiiirks" runs thus The roofs are intended to be of corrugated iron, and the columns and ribs of cast iron." Now with regard to the roofs what is really the case ? Why, out of roofing only one third is to be of iron, at least that is the quantity shown on the specification. I beg in conclusion, sir, to remark that there is no use of mincing the matter, and I fearlessly assert that from the beginning to the end of the transaction Mr. Fowler has misled the Council. Yours, &c. FAIR PL.Y. I
COSTS OF PROSECUTIONS AT QUARTER…
COSTS OF PROSECUTIONS AT QUARTER SESSIONS. To the Editor of the Welshman. SIR,—If any additional proof were wanting of the utter incompetency of the magistracy to manage the affairs of a county, it is supplied by the letter of the Carmarthenshire Magistrate" in your paper of March 15, purporting to be an answer to my letter, of the week previous. Such a lamentable display of ignorance and gross effrontery I have seldom witnessed. This Carmarthenshire Magistrate" in answer to my assertion that "from £ 20 to E40 of the County Rate is expended in carrying on each prosecution at Quarter Sessions," says that he thinks it his duty as a magis- trate of the County to state that the assertion is false." He further thinks he is right in stating that the average costs in each prosecution carried on at Quarter Sessions for this County is less than jE:7 and not from E20 to £ 40." This statement, he says, is borne out by the Treasurer's Accounts published in your paper. I am content to meet him on this ground, and shall, as briefly as possible, prove to you beyond the shadow of a doubt that my statement is not without foundation, and shall also prove that the "Carmarthenshire Magistrate" had better attend more closely to his duty, and not seek to mislead the ratepayers by false assertions. I will take the Accounts for the last year, when Rebeccaism was at its height, and when complaints res- pecting the mismanagement of the County Rate were loud and frequent. You will not deny that in taking last year I labour under a disadvantage, as it might well be supposed that the magistracy were more careful in excluding, as much as they well could, any appearance of wastefulness or extravagance—the public being on the alert to find out instances of such extravagance. At the January Quarter Sessions, 1843, there were 4 prisoners tried ;—David Davies, William Davies, David Lloyd, and James Lloyd. The expenses of their pro- secutions were as follows*:—No. 41. County Solicitor's Salary and disbursements, L60 5s. 4d. Nos., 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, and 24, were respectively 16s. Gd; 10s.; 6s.; 15s. 6d. El Is. E3 2s. 2d. E3 3s. £ 7s.; and JE9 making a total of fSl 6s. Gd. or an average to each prosecution of more than E20. At the April Quarter Sessions, there were 2 prisoners tried, WIHia.m Samuel and David Thomas. Expense a: follows;-County Solicitor, £ 56 Is. Id.; No. 24, 19s. In this amount there are two items of expenses paid to witnesses in prosecutions at the last Quarter Sessions, viz., Nos., 30 and 33, C3 2s. Gd,, and £ 1 3s. 6d. there with the others named above make a total of £ 61 6s. Id. or all average of more than E.30 to each prosecution. At the June Quarter Sessions there were four pri- soners tried, William Thomas, Morgan Ajax, Mary Williams and George Thomas. The expenses were:— County Solicitor. £ 67 17s. 2d.; Nos., 37, 38, 39, 40, 42, 45, 47, 48, 53 and 51 10s. £2 5s.; 2s.; I Is.; 7s.; 19s. 6d. El Ils. 4.; C I 0s. 2d. 12s. and 6s.; making a total of £ 76 Is. 2d. on an average of nearly jE20 to each prosecution. At the October Quarter Sessions there were six prisoners tried; Mary Lodwick, William Davies, John Davies, William Gordon, John Bowen and William Williams. The "Carmarthenshire Magistrates" did not think fit to publish a detailed statement of the expenditure of the County Rate this quarter, but pub- lished instead thereof an Abstract." In this abstract there is charged the sum of E31 15s. 6d. for ELEVEN prosecutions. Thus, Sir, the six prisoners who were really tried arc magnified into nearly twice as many, in order to make the average cost of the prosecutions appear less. It is true, five persons were charged with a riot, but they were not tried at these Sessions, there- fore no costs for the prosecution of them could have been incurred. We will take it then that six prisoners were tried the cost of their prosecution was £31 15s. 6d. The salaries again are lumped so that one cannot ascertain with certainty how much the County Solicitor received there can be no doubt, however, that at least one third of the E2,31 10s. charged for salaries fell to his share. It is more than his average receipts per quarter, and will amount to £84: 16s. 8d. Altogether then, the cost of prosecuting six prisoners at the October Quarter Sessions was Ell(i 12s. 2d. or not quite £ 20 each prisoner. Now, Sir, I think I have proved the statement which I made in my first letter to you to be a correct one. My only object has been to open the eyes of the rate-payers to the necessity of petitioning for an alteration in the law. No one knows where these costs go to. The attorneys' names are carefully excl uded from the published accounts, and so the ratepayers do not know who really receive their money. Xiie system is a bad one and ought to be altered.

FLOGGING PAUPERS.—The poor-law commissioners have caused an inquiry to be made into the truth of cer- tain charges which had been brought against the master and matron of the Wandsworth and Clapham union. The result was the exposure of a most cruel and indecent system of conduct towards the girls who are inmates of the establishment. It was elicited that some time since it was hinted to the board of guardians that every means of coercion, san' that of corporal punishment, had been tried to keep the juvenile female paupers in order, but without effect. It was then suggested that in cases of extreme insubordination the girls should be flogged, and William Rowbottoni, the master of the union, was ordered to procure birchc, although eni-pol-al punishment to females is expressly forbidden by the Poor-law Amendment Act. It was clearly proved that girls even fourteen years of age had had their clothes thrown over their heads, their legs had been tied, and their hands held up by a portc'r of the establishment, whilst the punishment was administered by the school- mistress or some other female appointed by the master. In addition to this the girls were confined two and three together in a dark cell, for the space of 31 and 3G hours during this period of incarceration they were supplied with their food, but not permitted to leave the bleck hole" they were placed in. It was further proved that the matron of the workhouse was not only cognizant of these acts, but on more than one occasion she was present when the girls were flogged. The result of this inquiry was a determination on the part of the com- missioners to dismiss the master and matron, and although the board of guardians have been to Somerset house in a body to endeavour to persuade the com- missioners to rescind their decision, their interference has been ineffectual. A SERMON TWICE PREACHED.—On Sunday evening week a somewhat novel scene took place in Islington Church. It having been announced that the Rev. Stephen Bridge, M.A., who had for the last four vears has been the evening lecturer, and whose talents have deservedly gained for him great popularity, would preach a farewell sermon," long before the time ap- pointed for opening the doors of the sacred edifice, immense crowds had assembled round the church in anxiety to gain admission. The church having been, during the performance of divine service and the de- livery of a most eloquent and affectionate discourse, crowded to excess, it was announced to the preacher that the multitudes without the walls exceeded that within, when the rev. gentleman, in compliance with the often-repeated wish, although much exhausted, kindly consented to return to the pulpi t, aud t here to a frr" h congregation, delivered his sermon a second time. It I was past 10 o'clock before the service concludcd.
CLERICAL AND RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
CLERICAL AND RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Wednesday night a public meeting, convened by the Metropolitan Anti-State Church Association, took place in the large room of the London Tavern, for the purpose of considering the best means to be adopted to obtain a speedy separation between the Church and State. Dr. Cox, of Hackney, was called to the chair. The room was completely filled. The Chairman observed that the object of the Anti-State Church Association was by no means an Association raised in opposition to the Church of England, either in its popular or ecclesiastical sense. They had not for their object to lay the despoiling hand either on the buildings or the monuments of the church nor did they wish to interfere with the episcopacy of the church, if the church itself believed that its episco- pacy, its bishops, its archbishops, and dignitaries, were founded on the principles of the New Testament. (Cheers.) It was not against the Church of England, as a church, they were about to raise their voice,but against the principle of establishments and State churches generally. (Cheers.) Dr. Bowring, M.P., moved the first resolution, and was received with cheers. "That this meeting, believ- ing the interference of the State in matters of religion to be repugnant to the spirit and precepts of Christia- nity, a usurpation of the rights of conscience, and the source of innumerable, social, political, and religious evils, protests against the existence of all ecclesiastical establishments, or of any modification of the same in the form of Parliamentary grants, whether to Protes- tant Dissenting Ministers or to the Roman Catholic Clergy."—Dr. Price seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The Rev. Mr. Forster, of Highgatc, moved the second resolution: That the natural consequences of State interference in matters of religion are now manifesting themselves in the present condition of Ireland, produ- cing such an alienation of feeling towards this country as to endanger the stability of the union.—Mr. J. C. Evans seconded the resolution, which was also carried with but one dissentient. The Rev. C. Stovel proceeded to show the necessity for the great body of Dissenters taking an ingressive in- stead of a defensive position with regard to the Church, and in support of the holding of a conference for that purpose. He concluded by moving a resolution.—Mr. W. S. Crawford, M.P., who had sent a letter apologising for his absence through illness, and E. Miall, Esq., were authorised to represent the meeting at the con- ference to be held in April next. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.—The Hebdomadal Board seem to have been altering their minds backwards and forwards about their divinity statute. Their first notice distinctly stated, that the new divinity regula- tions would be proposed to Convocation in the course of the present term." They then, in consequence of the great opposition made, withdrew from the intention, and put off, the consideration of the matter in convo- cation for this term altogether. Now it seems, in order to give themselves an appearance of consistency, they re-issue the statute this term, although it does not come on till next. The whole vacation, by this odd arrange- ment, intervenes between re-issuing the statute and for- mally bringing it before the University. We cannot help thinking it would have been wiser in the board to have employed this vacant interval in reconsidering their statute, instead of at the very end of term, when nothing was gained by taking such a step, committing themselves for once and all to the present ill-digested form of it. With respect to the alterations made in this re-issued form of statute, none arc worth mentioning, except the single one that the clause respecting the de- livery of the copies by the candidate is withdrawn. The whole diumvirate of the vice Chancellor and the Re- gius Professor, and the whole of the obnoxious compul- sory examination before the Theological Board, are sa- credly retained. This examining, testing, inquisitorial basis was what was protested against, and this the Heb- domadal Board do not, and will not give up.— Times. QUEEN ANNE'S BOUNTY.—An account of all the monies received and disbursed by the Governors of Queen Anne's Bounty during the year ending on the 31st of December, 1842, has just been presented to the House of Commons (pursuant to act of Parliament). We find that the gross total sum received amounted to £lfJ4,S0G 8s. 5d., and the gross total sum disbursed to f 18.5,477 7s. lOd. leaving a balance of EO,419 Os, 7d. Of the amount received £ 13,582 was derived from first fruits and tenths," £ 15,975 from benefactions fer the augmentation of livings, £ 38,519 from dividends on Government funds, € 15,673 from the produce of stock sold for general purposes, 1:20,127 from the interest on money advanced on mortgage to build, &c., glebe-houses, £2.j,2ô1 from instalments in part liquidation of monies advanced on mortgage, £ 11,175 from the net produce of sales of bounty lands, and £16,41:3 from endowment trusts. Of the disbursements, C19,198 were appropri- ated to the erection See., of residence houses, £ 65,287 to loans on mortgage to build, Sec., glebe-houses, £ 24,411 to the purchase of stock for gencial purposes, £ 60,284 to the clergy, being interest and dividends of money and stock appropriated to their livings, and X3,290 to the salaries of the secretary, treasurer, auditor, clerks. &c., of the Bounty-office. There are, it further appears, no arrears of first fruits now due, and the yearly tenths at present in arrear only amount to £ 28 4s. lid. The return is dated November 30, 1843. It has been determined to propose a Convocation, at Oxford, to petition both Houses of Parliament for the repeal of so much of the Act passed in the 6th and 7tli years of the reign of his late Majesty King William IV. chap. 77, as provides for the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor.—Carnarvon Herald. THE SEES OF ST ASAPH AND BANGOR.—MOLD, Thursday.—A public meeting of the freeholders and clergy of the county of Flint, convened by the in compliance with a requisition addressed to him to that effect, was held this day in the grand jury room of the County-hall, at Mold, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament against the threatened measure for the abolition of one of the Bishoprics of North V, ales. There was a numerous and influential attendance of gentry and clergy. The High-Sheriff, Sir It. Fulcston, presided, and the Tarious resolutions, strongly deprecatory of the scheme of uniting the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor, were moved and seconded by Mr. J. Wynne Eyton, Mr. E. Pcmberton, Mr. R. J. Mostyn, Dr. Richardson, Mr. T. M. Griffith, the Rev. Lloyd W yiuie, the Venerable Archdeacon Clough, Mr. J. Lee, and Mr. J. Jocelyn Ffoulkes. Petitions to both houses of Parliament were unanimously adopted, praying for the repeal of so much of the act 6 and 7 AVilliaill IV. as provides for the union of the sees of St. Asaph and Bangor and further praying that in cases where ecclesiastical revenues may be derived from the suppression of sinecures, provisions may first be made to supply the spiritual wants of the parishes whence they are derived; and, secondly, that such funds may be appropriated to the augmentation of the poor benefices, and the endowment of new churches in North Wales. It was also resolved that a copy of the petition to the House of Lords should be sent to his Grace the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, accompanied by a request from the High-Sheriff of Flintshire, on behalf of the meeting, that his Grace would be pleased to support its prayer. THE REV. MR. JOXES.—A commission hash C'cn issued by the bishop to inquirei nto certain charges preferred by the churchwardens of the township ofCradley against the Rev. John Jones, the minister officiating for many years past in the church there, for adultery. The proceedings were taken under the Church Discipline Act. Mr Jones is a marriod man, having a family grown il) and the points sought to he proved were that he had been in the habit of visiting a prostitute, named Mary Ann James, at a brothel in Birmingham, kept by a woman named Dunn; and that during the last summer be made excursions to Stratford in company with James. To substantiate the former charge, Dunn, James, and other witnesses, were snbpienaed. The charges were further sought to be confirmed by sundry letters which his re- verence had written in the name of George Ifallen." The Rev. Mr. J ones was not present. The corn mis- sioners did not examine all the witnesses in attendance, but between five and six o'clock in the evening declined hearing further evidence, and, after dc-lib(,i-ation, unanimously of opinion that a prima facie case had unanimously of opinion that a j'?-<')t' } /ac; e case had been made out. On Saturday last Mr Jones received :m inhibition from the Lord Bishop, to prevent his per- forming the duties of the church, which were performed on Sunday by the Rev. R. B. Hone, vicar of Halesowen. —11 orcestershire Ohronicle. Since the above was written we are enabled togive a few additional particulars. Five letters, signed George Ilallen," and a card, on which he had de- scribed Solihull as his residence, were produced, and proved to be in the handwriting of the Rev. J Jones. The woman James's replies were addressed to the post- office, Birmingham, till called for. The Rev. Mr. Harris, of Brieriey-hill, was also examined, and gave evidence that he, with six or seven clergymen and other persons attended a meeting held at Mr. Stubbings's (the defandant's attorney) office in Birmingham, where Mrs. Dunn, the keeper of the brothel, was introduced by Mr. Hall, a superintendant of the Birmingham police force. She there identified the Rev. Mr. Jones, and informed the gentlemen assembled that lie had fre- quently visited Miss James, at her house in Buck-street. Birmiuaham; and also after she removed to Pershore- street. Mrs. Dunn was questioned as to the reverend defendant's object in visiting Miss James, whereupon she said that Mr. Jones bad made excursions to Strat- ford and Liohfielcl with that young lady, being absent j two days. On the day the inquiry took place two officers of the Worcestershire city police were in atten- dance at the Talbot Hotel, to speak to the character of J,iiiies, btit they were not called, nor was their atten- dance necessary, as the woman, by her evidence acknowledged what they were to have proved, namely, that she was a prostitute. Mr. Skinner, barrister, a::d Mr. Stubbings, attorney, of Birmingham, appeared for the Rev. Mr. Jones, who was not present. The com- missioners did not examine all the witnesses in atten- dance, but between five and six o'clock in the evening declined hearing further evidence, and after deliberation were unaninously of opinion that a prima facie case had been made out. On Saturday last Mr. Jones received an inhibitation from the Lord Bishop, to preveut his performing the duties of the church, which were performed on Sunday by the Rev. R. B. Hone, Vicar of Halesowen.— Wcrcalcrshiro Chronicle.

A PEMBROKESHIRE JURY.
A PEMBROKESHIRE JURY. To the Editor of the Welshman." "Hear him ye senators, here this truth sublime, Ile who atiom-, oppression shares the crime." Siit,-In devoting the first leisure hour I have found since our assizes, to the statement of a case and its immediate fate, of much, very much importance to this country, I trust you will not consider me after time, nor deem me actuated by any other motive than that which appears upon the face of those few very inefficient letters which you have had the liberality and the philanthrophy to think deserving of a space in your unprejudiced columns, viz., The good of my native country, and the elevation of the character of my Oppression' is the subject of my motto, and never was there a case to which that odious term applied more strongly, more disgustingly, than it does to the present one. The cause alluded to was tried at the last assizes for Pembrokeshire, and the case was fully and clearly proved in court before a Special Jury of apparent intelligence and integrity, for some of them were magistrates—some were men of very independent fortune, and others would be very angry if they were not styled 'Gentlemen Farmers.'—The case was this;-J ames, an industrious and respectable man, lived with his father, mother, sister, and two • nurse children' upon a farm of 8 or 9 acres, on which they grew corn, potatoes, and hay, and kept a cow, a horse and cart, and a plough. The father was 62 years oi age, afflicted with a severe rupture, and very rarely able to do some light work. The mother was also 62 years old. The sister grown up,' the nurse children too young to be of service. The whole family depended chiefly upon the efforts of James for means to pay the rent, rates and tithes, and to support them. There are months in the j-ear when so small a farm docs not afford occupation for its tenant and team, and on those occasions James used to employ himself and his team in the service of any who would pay him. Under such circumstances, James en- tered into a contract with H., the agent of W. B. S.. a magistrate, (who was the-lessee and occupier of certain limestone quarries and kilns) to carry stones from a par- ticular quarry to a particular kiln for 3d. per load of lime drawn from the kiln, James finding his own horse and harness, H. finding a cart. James pursued his con- tract until the quarry was abandoned and the kiln stop- ped, when lie considered his contract completed, and discontinued his daily attendance there. A few days afterwards W. B. S. opened another quarry at a greater distance than the former from the kiln, and then sent his agent II. to call James to do as he had done at the former quarry. He refused, saying, that it was not in his contract, and he could not do it for the same price. A warrant was then issued against James, who was taken into custody, and brought before the bench of Petty Sessions at X., to answer to the complaint of H. The magistrates on the bench were W. B. S. himself—R. (who was chairman of the bench) and C. H. made his complaint-J ames and his friends attempted to defend his case, but were not suffered to speak, and he was or- dered out of court in custody, and continued so until 2 o'clock p. m., when the constable told him to go home for that he'd be damned if he'd keep anv man in cus- tody without a commitment." This was upon a Thurs- day. On the following Saturday morning two constables again arrested James whilst at his work, very early in the morning, and took him under a warrant of commitment, signed &c. by R. and C. a distance of 16 miles, on foot, to the County House Correction, where he remained for 14 clear days—was discharged at 6 o'clock in the after- noon, and then in his weakened state had to walk 16 miles to his home. A notice of action was served on R. and C., they tendered £1.) to James, which he re- fused, and the action was commenced and carried on to trial. The warrant of commitment stated the facts, and that II. complained as the agent of W. B. S. and as it originally stood, it appeared on the face of it that the magistrates had no jurisdiction, until V-l. B. S. in his own handwriting, interlined it with the words" as a I 'labouring work," &c., all through it, hoping thereby to bring the case under the statute 3d Eliz. c. 4. W. B. S., sitting as a magistrate in this case, acted in direct violation of the statute I and 2 W. 4, c. 37, p. 21, in which statute is included" limestone quarries." The defendant's counsel attempted to shake the evidence for the plaintiff, but in vain. He then had recourse to the petty and hacknied subterfuge of at- tempting to shew that James's attorney ran all the risk, but in vain. The only question to be tried was the suffi- ciency or insufficicncy-of the tender. In actions against magistrates, they may, but arc not as in other actions, obliged to pay into court, and it was not done in this case. Also, if the jury give no more damages than the amount actually tendered, the plaintiff gets nothing— not one farthing in damages or costs. This was explained to the jury in this case by James's counsel, & by the Judge himself, who all but directed them to find more than £1;) damages. It dropped from defendant's counsel, and these intelligent, independent gentlemen, three or four of whom were Englishmen, after an hour's deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, but that they thought £ 15 enough." "That then (said the Judge) is tanta- mount to a verdict for the defendants." Some of these beautiful jurors, after quitting the court, had the folly to declare that they considered that the plaintiff would have to receive the F-15. Such is the history of this unparal- leled case of oppression, contravention, compromise, and atrocity. Can there possibly be a stronger, clearer proof of the wretched degradation of our Welsh magistracy and special jurors—jurors whose solemn verdict on the most binding and sacred oath, establishes the value of their countryman's liberty at 20 shillings per day. the sufferings of a bereaved family to boot; jurors whore- cognise and reward, nay applaud, the most atrocious and barefaced malpractices, and oppression on the part of the magistracy of this country, that it is possible for vice to conceive or a Maehiavelle to invent. Had they given one farthing more damages James would have received £ 1.j, and perhaps that sum may by many just men be consi- dered reasonable, but even in this country poachers and villains have received more at the hands of a jury, and that for a mere clerical error too. But that was not the ground upon which I proceeded. I dare say James would have been satisfied with £ 15, perhaps £ l0, under my advice—no matter. I wanted not such damages as would be a mere compensation to James I wanted and I expected such damages as would be punishmoit to the t lit? i i? defendants for their conduct, as would tend to make them more cautious and impartial in future, and such as would evince the unequivocal disapprobation of a jury of honest and upright men. The result has not met my expec- tations, and now magistrates may do just as they think proper, calculating upon an action out of one hundre d con- victions, and then upon no more than 20 shillings per day for the illegal imprisonment of a poor fellow subject. I was the attorney for James, and smiled with what I felt -the most ineffable contempt at the hacknied, common- place, miserable, and futile effects of a well-paid mer- cenery in a silk gown to fix on me an avaricious motive in carrying on the cause to trial. Those who realty know me (and they are few) laugh with i-ie. I knew there was a risk of loss to me, for my client was poor; I knew that by demanding the sum whidl was tendered to my client, at any time before the action was brought, I could have got possession of the money, and have paid myself sum- ciently for the notice of action. But such sordid motives never for one moment possessed me. Detestation of op- pression in every shape—the experience of years as to the practices of the N. Bench of Petty Sessions—a con- sciousness of the true cause of our Welsh disorders, and an indefinable feeling of philanthropy, determined me to hold up to public contempt and individual obloquy the method and the means by which public duties are ren- d,'red 1\bsc'rYh'llt to private feelings." I have done it and am satisfied. I am the poorer by a few pounds, but richer in self rcsl)('('1 and the" mens conscia recti." If what I have done shall tend to arouse the too dull and morbid feelings of the oppressed classes of my fellow men in Pembrokeshire, and teaeli them what is due to themselves, from themselves, and from otLers, and e11- gender in them a proper sense of their moral equality and claims with the rest of men, I shall be content, and think, that, humble as I may be, and chastened as I have been by the stonus of life, ( have not lived in vain—a drone in the hi H' of human bees.
