'?c appointment of Robinson, ?hohddaL their '^NE^t S^PP^'ec' excellent testimonials, and resigned his ?'.t:?? ?'?''un in the expectation of h?iuK ciecttd. Mr. Richards, of Tenby, said he acted as a m:mistrate for the hundred of Narberth, but had not received no- tice to attend the meeting of the magistrates there when the question was considered. Capt. Child said he bad not seen Mr. Richards on the Narverth bench for the last twelve months. The Chairman observed that he should feel bound to pay attention to the recommendation of the magistrates of the hundred at a meeting duly convened for the pur- pose; but it appeared that due notice of the meeting had not been given. Mr. J. L. G. P. Lewis said he had seen the testi- monials produced by Robinson, and considered them unexceptionable; but having, on IIaddington's resigna- tion, becn requested by some of his brother magistrates to look out for another man, he applied to Mr. Sandars, the secretarv of the London City Police, to recommend some person, and he recommended J. Blundell, who was now in the London Police, and had formerly been in the detective force, being furnished with testimonials from Mr. Whittle Harvey, Mr. Saunders the superintendent and secretary of the city police, from several barristers practising at the Old Bailey, and from John and Daniel Forrester the Mansion-house officers and he now felt himself called upon to propose Blundell to the notice of the magistrates. It was fortunate that the county had two such excellent candidates for the office but if he had been aware of the steps which had been taken in reference to Robinson he would not have moved in the matter. Mr, Richards seconded the noniination of Blundell. Mr. G. Lnrt Philipps proposed, and the Rev. S. W. Saunders seconded, Thomas Abbott us a fit and proper person fur the office. A poll was then taken, the following being the result For Robinson — Mr. J. M. Child, Rev. J. W. James, Mr. Nicholas Roch, and Mr. James Higgon. For Blundell-Mr. Lewis, Mr. Richards, Mr. Swann, and Mr. Massey. For Abhott-Mr. J. L. Phillips, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Rowe, and Mr. Propert. There being an equal number of votes for each can- didate, the Chairman gave a casting vote in favour of Blundell, who was declared elected. Capt. Child then rose and said he considered it a hard case that the recommendation of so large a ma- jority of the magistrates of the Narberth district should be disregarded, contrary to the practice in other cases of a similar nature, and Mr. James and himself had there- fore resolved that if Robinson was rejected, they would not again sit on the Narberth bench. v I COXJNTV ROADS BOARD. I Mr. Summers, the clerk of the county roads board, called the attention of the bench to the resolution of the county roads board, passed at their last meeting ac- cepting the offer of the magistrates, at the last quarter sessions, of £ 50 a year, for the repairs of the roads over and at each end of the several county bridges on the turnpike roads in this county. An order was made I for the payment of the same. THE TRIALS OF PRISONERS William Davies, Nehemiah Thomas, and David Tho- mas, were indicted for stealing two bushels of potatoes, at Roch, on the 1st of March last, Mr. Cozens ap- peared for the prosecution, and called several witnesses. Mr. Lloyd appeared for the prisoner. The evidence for the prosecution was "cry sligh t. Verdict-Not Guitty. Pluebe Roch was indicted for receiving two towels, the property of John Jones, knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Cozens appeared for the prosecution, and called several witnesses. Mr. Lloyd defended the prisoner, and contended there was no evidence of identity, The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The same prisoner was indicted for stealing a gown, the property of Elizabeth Roch, on the 20th of May last. She was further charged with having received the gown, knowing the same to have been stolen. The evidence in this case was the same as in the last, with the addition of the statement made by the prisoner on her been committed on this charge, when she said, I found it on the Diagon dung heap." Mr. John Lloyd appeared for the prisoner. Vet-d:ct-Giiilty. Sentence deferred. The Court then adjourned. WEDNESDAY. I The court opened at ten o'cloek. Phcebe Roch was now placed at the bar, and sentenced to 12 calendar months' imprisonment in the House of Correction for the felony of which she was found guilty oil the previous evening. Thomas Williams, indicted for having, on the 3rd April last, at the parish of Rudbaxton, broken and entered a building of Win. Owen, within the curtilage of a dwelling-house, and stealing therein a quantity of barley, the property of the said Wm. Owen. In the second count the building was laid as in the occupation of Benjamin Harries. Mr. Morgan James appeared for the prosecution Mr. Lloyd for the prisoner. The following witnesses were called on the part of the crown. Mr. Wm. Owen I reside at Haverfordwest, and am the proprietor of the Ilathe Farm, in the parish of ilud- baxton, in this county. I farm the lands myself, and have during the last few years employed a great deal of labour on that farm. The prisoner, his wife, and step son have been employed by me on the farm. lie lives about half a mile from the lbth. In April last I had some bailey in my granary, which had been thrashed by a machine. I afterwards heard that some of the barley had been stolen. I sent Williams to make enquiries and directed him and a man named John to seaich the prisoner's premises. I remained at the Rathe. John returned to report progress to me. He brought a sample of the barley he had found at the prisoner's house. It was of the same description which I had lost. My barley wrs thrashed very close, so that many of the ends of the grains were chopped by the machine. Barley thrashed with the flail is not so clean. I then went to the prisoner's house and saw some barley there-some ba"S in the cowhouse. I took some up in my hand, and some grains resembled mine. I went into the dwelling- house and saw two casks of barley, which almost all re- sembled mine. The prisoner was present. I claimed the barley as mine, and said to the prisoller that he had done very wrong, and asked him if he would give it back to me. He said Yes take it every bit." I went back to the barn accompanied by William and John, and the prisoner, and I told them the prisoner had of- fered to give the barley back. Prisoner said again Yes, take it.etcrybit." Cross-examined by Mr. Lhyd: I have had three or four years' experience in farming put suits. I can dis- tinguish between one sample of barley and another. The reason I asked the prisoner's permission to rera«.ve the bailey was,that,having no search warrant, X be- lieved 1 had no right to remove it without consent. I don't recollect his saying" If you say it is your barley, you may take it." The barley was in my possession until the Saturday week following, \\he'lI the case was investigated by the magistrates. I had m the mean time an intimation from Mr. Lloyd that the prisoner insisted on an investigation, to know to w.iom t it bar- ley belonged of a iT received from a magistrate, the case was P()S'pI)¡lcd to secure a full bench. I had no idea of giving it up. Wm. Williams, police constable In April inst I was employed by Mr. Owen to make enquiries about the bailey. I went with John to the prisoner s house, ha- ving first seen some of Mr. O-ven s barley in his gra- nary, behind the farm-house. I found a bag inthe barn containing barley; John and I compared it %itli a sample which John front the Itatlic, the), corres- ponded. I have been a miller, and ha-c seen corn mixed at mills and afterwards known them as mixed. I found some barley (about 6 Winchesters) in the house, it was pure and unn.'xed. I went, to the farm of Sleeches. We returned to the prisoners' in about three quarters of an hour, and examined the barley in the house, it had be:n mixed in our J absence, a quantity of barley with the lUog ends oil had been mixed with it. We then went into the barn and found that the barley which we had before examined had been removed b;- hind some other bags of barley which we did not at first examine. Thomas Watts I live at Haythog Mill. Thr pri- soner used to grind t.is corn there. I somtun-.e* examined his corn. I do not think his corn generally was thrashed with a machine. After the loss of the barley at the Rathe. I fetched some barley from his house to mind. It did not correspond with the barley I had h"fore ground for him, but appeared to be thrashed with a machine. I ground one bushel the day after the robbery, and some more about a week after, of which appeared to be of the same descrip- tion of 'in. I was present when the toll was taken bv my lather and brother. We compared it with the sample pieviously brought to the mill from the Rathe, by Mr. ThomaJ, of Slecolies,-it appeared to be the same corn-we all agreed it was the same cot n. Benjamin Howell: —I live near the prisoner and know him. I recollect the night oi the robbery at the Rathe. I was returning home to New Bridge by 'he prisoner's house between one and two o clock in the morning. I saw a light moving from one room to ano- ther in the prisoner's house. Griffith Lewis was with me. He went to Glamorganshire the week after the robbery, and carne back las: Wednesday. Enoch .Morgan I recollect the night of the robbery at the Rathe. I then lived at Little Ilathe, adjoining ;\1: farm. I saw a man in Mr. Owen a laim- yaril ibat TI'(I.t with a bag containing something on his back. He passed me. The prisoner was the rnan. I sa IV him come through the farm-yard gate. 1 was i afrnid to speak to him. I hid myself behind the post. II ill(,i,7it)iied itiat I saw him tile r,,evt day. I %,as afraid he would thump me. j Bn the C"!iit I swear positively it was 1 nomas Williams wb< in I saw passing through the gate with a bag on bis back that night. The Chairman then summed tip, statiii, that ill hIs opinion there was not sufficient evidence of the bieaii.ng nnd c-itei-ing, so that the only question for the juiv was, whether or not the prisoner was guilty of simple larceny Guilty of simple laiceny. Sentence—tiglit months imprisonment. l c late(.iiy. ',eiitctl cc-Ei!,Iilt niuiithi' Jatncs J.cwis was indicted for stealing six goslings, the property of Samuel Smith, oil. "\e:dict, guilty.
