LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-I am now going to make a few observations on the mode in which furze ought to be given to horses and cattle, and to give the testimonies of several farmers as to the beneficial results arising from the use of this plan There is no fixed rule by which we may judge of the quantity to be given to an animal at a meal j I shall, there- fore, state the custom in different parts. A farmer in Berwickshire, of the name of Tyler, mentions that for five successive years, he had fed his working horses from December to March with furze and straw. In the first year oats were added but during the remaining seasons corn was only given from the 1st February in quantities of SJlbs. daily to each horse. The quantity of furze given each day, in the first winter, was 281bs., with 141bs. of straw added. These horses were kept in constant and hard work, and Mr. Tyler states that they were in better condition this season than at any other period of the year. Mr. Spooner (whom I have before mentioned) thinks that half a peck of mrze a day' is sufficient for a cart horse, and half that quantity for a "riding horse, if he gets a moderate quantity of corn. A former in Carnarvonshire states that he gives lOlbs. of furze to each of his cart horses in 24 hours. If mixed with chaff or cut straw, he think less furze might do. Many farmers, large and small, in Denbighshire and Car- narvonshire, from December to March, feed their horses en- tirely with furze and steamed Swedish turnips, with perhaps a little corn now and then. The labour is constant and severe, yet the horses stand their work -quite as well, as if they were fed in the usual way with hay and corn. The furze has a heating tendency" and the turnip an opposite that is a relaxing one—consequently, it is very desirable that both should be used together. It may be observed here that the use of furze, as food tor horses, is not confined to Britain alone. On the confines ot France and Spain, this plant is very generally cultivated, and used for the purpose mentioned. And when the armies of Britain, under the illustrious Wellington, were located in those parts, the common food for the horses was furze. We will now turn our attention to this plant as food tor horned cattle. Mr. Spooner, for many vears, has fed his cows with furze from the latter end of October to the begmning April. The number of cows is twenty-four. They get lOWbs. of hay between them daily, and to each row is given fro three and a half to four bushels of bruised furze. He does not give his cows furze on Sundays. On^that day Jthe cows Set f(K)lbs. instead of lOOlbs. of hay The butter is always Excellent, its flavour equal to that made in summer when the C°Cattle wSflktiSi on furze but rather slowlv. If 281l £ of Swedish turnips, or lOlbs. of oil cake, be added daily, the animals will fatten very quickly. A farmer, near Birmingham, who keeps a great number of cows to supply that town with milk and butter, cultivates many acres of furze for the winter food of his cattle. Accor- ding to his testimony the cows give a greater quantity of milk and butter when fed on furze, than they do at any other period of the year. He states that the furze is much superior to mangel wurzel, and the milk and butter are incomparably better when the cows are fed on furze. Some farmers give their cows half a cwt. each daily, others 81bs.; some add hay, and others only give straw some turnips, and some not. I will now state my own experience as to this plant. A neighbour of mine, forming about 200 acres, of which a good deal is rough land, well adapted for furze, has ten acres under this plant. Four of these acres are cut every winter for his horses and cattle. Of the former he keeps eight, and gene- rally fifteen cows and twelve barren cattle. From October to April his cows are fed with bruised furze, about two pecks each daily, given morning and evening, and a liberal supply of turnips, with as much straw as the cattle can consume. Salt is sprinkled over the furze, and this gentleman s cattle never suffer from illness. Their produce is nearly as great as when they are in grass, and the butter always sweet and well flavoured. The barren cattle are fed in the same man- ner. His horses, who have their furze cut with an engine, get about the same quantity as the cows, with Swedish turnips, and a rack full of hay at night They are always m good condition, and are hard worked. It is too evident to require proof that the expense attending the cultivation of furze is very trifling indeed, 1 am ot opinion that it is the cheapest plant that can be grown, and one of the most beneficial. Were it more generally in use in your county, I have no doubt it would be the means of introducing turnip husbandry (which at present, I am sony to say, appears to be very backward, although the climate is so favourable), for it is soon found that the turnip is a great auxiliary to the furze. I would remmd your landed pro- prietors, that when they have so many bitter enemies to contend against, if they wish to keep the plough at work, they must arouse themselves from their lethargy, must intro- duce better husbandry on their e8tate8 and not gnnd down their tenants, as is now often the case. If they will not do this they will see their lands turned into Immense open tracts of grazing ground, with a few serfs to herd their cattle, like the plains of Italy when the Romans allowed the free importation of corn into their ports, and to which in part the fall of their empire is to be attributed. Yours truly, March 23,1844. Amm" SIB,—On reading over your valuable_paperofthe8th inst, I happened to see a letter signed" Anti-falsum,and find in it an error which I trust you will allow me to correct 1 he writer asks, "Was it not the Prendergast established the present school at Uzmaston? { answer no it was not. This school was onginally «teb ishe^ by Mrs. and the Misses Ackland, and it was kept at thetarm W of Boulston for some time it was subsequently, for conveniency, removed to Uzmaston. Uvinir of after the present incumbent was preMnted to the lmng Uzmaston, he made arrangements witb the foun^re an joined in union the parish of Uzmaston to that of ^ulston, so that at present the children m the school consist^of ^the poor of both parishes and in fiu;t the debted solely lor the establishment of the scho°Ho the Chnsr tian liberality of Mrs. and the Misses Ackland. Wfio Anti-falsum is, is no business of^mine to 'nqmre ,bat fine, I would advise him to go to school to learn facts as wel as Latin, before he endeavours to mislead the public by taise statements such as these. The Prendergast Jw™ never had anything to do with this school. I will not, ask to occupy more of your valuable space for further expla nation, but subscribe myself, sir,^ March 23,1844. ANTI-FALSUS.

I r woman, that I should have share of £ 5.

He asked me more an once and the last time he asked mo was on Thursday v?re August fair. He spoke to me the first time about the of August, when he told me to bring the guns, &c. l0'd him at first I would go. He did not say what he anted there. On Thursday I told him I would not come v antyfen, and that I would have nothing to do with the business. Esau Daniel examined: David Thomas, of Penlan, came a short time before August fair, and asked me to come v to the parish of Llanfihangel-ar-arth, and that I "uld have a share of £ 5. I refused to go. John Jones, Caerffilly, examined David Thomas, of Pen- jan» came into me in the beginning of Augu^, and asked jle '° come to a meeting at his house, on the 10th of August. Went there, and found John Jones, (one of the witnesses,) nomas Thomas, Esau Davies, John Thomas, David Rich- •"cls, John Powell, John James, David Evans, and John nomas, Penlan, father of David Thomas, who was also I)CTk The? disguised themselves, but I did not. I told • 1 nomas I would not go with him to Pantyfen, that I had David, Brynamlwg, pass through the yard. They then Qjourned for that night, and said they would go on Friday 'gnt, (next evening.) David Thomas said he was not to v?' I did not hear anything about Blaenpant, and I heard 'in giving no reason for not going. Some of them had guns wd other arms. John Guy examined: I belong to the 8th division of the ^Metropolitan Police. I had a warrant to apprehend David t*lree months ago, but could not for a long time. On t "1st of January last, I went to Penrhiwfach, about Welve o'clock at night, and asked for him. His sister said e was not there and asked mc, "What, you have come j^1"1 ? 1 answered, Yes, I have." I then searched the and found the prisoner in a loft under some straw, ith a rug wrapped round his head, to conceal his face, here was no bed there. His clothes were brought from by one of his sisters, I think. tiaward Edwards and John Davies were examined; but °tr)ing of importance was elicited, and the case for the iJfcnt'on closed. Mr. Rchards, for the prisoners, whom he defended, ad- t^eWed the jury and called witnesses, who gave several of ^prisoners good characters. 1 he court then adjourned, and the jury were locked up. SATURDAY. His lordship entered the court, and took his seat on the JL^t at 9 o'clock. fne jury were brought into the box, and their names were ^"ed over; and the prisoners were placed at the bar for trial. Mr. Chilton then addressed the jury in reply. "is lordship then summed up, with his usual clearness and P«?picuity, directing the jury, in the first place, to take into consideration whether the offence had been committed *? "ot; and, in the second place, if they came to the conclu- that the offence had been committed, what part, if any, .he prisoners had taken in it and his lordship directed the J^ry to do their duty to their country, without favor or fear, ?"d to bring in a verdict according to the evidence they had and the dictates of their own consciences. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and returned ln.a short time, with a verdict of Guilty against all the Prisoners. James Thomas and Thomas Thomas, were then placed at the l*r,andcharged with having, on the 5th day of September ^t> feloniously aided and abetted one John Jones, (Shorn in discharging a certain loaded fire-arm, called a Sun, at one Margaret Thomas, with intent to murder her, do her some grievous bodily harm. 1 he prisoners pleaded not guilty. Mr. Chilton addressed the jury for the prosecution, and that the prisoners were charged with shooting at one Margaret Thomas, with another person of the name of John ones, called Shoni Scyborfawr, who had been convicted of Rebecca riots at the Winter Assizes. Thomas Thomas was most respectable man, and he was sorry to see him standing the bar to answer the change of taking part in these dis- outrages. He begged the jury to dismiss all preju- fr°m their minds, and give the matter full consideration; observed that he would bring evidence .before them, men would prove the guilt of the prisoners. The prosecu- was one Evan Thomas, a weaver, at Porthyrhyd, hose house had been frequently attacked by the Rebeccaites. *ne night of the 4th of September last, the mob came f *ue house, and demanded admittance, put the ^muzzles their guns through the window, and fired them into the oom, at the wife and children and a shot entered the thigh one of the children, and it was a mercy the prisoners were not standing at that bar to be tried on the charge of murder. ? sou-in-law would prove the identity of Thomas Thomas, he knew his person and voice well, and heard him giving irections to the mob, saying, Shoot him, shoot him." The also knew his voice. A paper of protection to Evan nomas, written by Mrs. Thomas, wife of Thomas Thomas, :?e prisoner, was read. It desired protection to him from toe further molestations of 'Becca, as he expressed his con- ation for anything he had done against her, and he would *J?P *he office of constable. +1. • r examination of the witness, his lordship directed to return a verdict of Not guilty "of that charge. ,• ? -Wnte persons were again put on their trial, and charged with having, on the 5th day of September last, riotously and assembled together, at Porthyrhyd, in the if of Llanddarog, in this county, and then and there wade a great noise, riot, and disturbance, and then and there her Majesty's liege subjects put in bodily fear, the peace of our Sovereign Lady the Queen, &c. •JM e PJ\W)ners were acquitted. feceiV flowing prisoners were then placed at the bar to e the sentence of the court: ihomas Jones and David Jones, who had pleaded guilty of entering and robbing a dwelling-house of ^"ahWilliams, of the parish of Mothvey,—10years tran- Francis Davies, for the same offence, to be 5t £ ned and kept to hard labour for twelve calendar Itarries, Isaac Charles, Job Evans, John Lewis, p Williams, and David Thomas, convicted of not at the j^then Workhouse, on Monday, the 19th of June, inn^.v e former of whom was sentenced to 12 calendar eaJ^1s hard labour, and the others to eight calendar months -Jonathan Jones, Howell Lewis, David Lewis, David ~a*ies, and Jonathan Lewis, convicted of a riot at lalog, were sentenced to 8 calendar months' imprisonment with °ard labour. David Thomas, Thomas Powell, John Thomas, John ^aes, Thomas Thomas, John Thomas, Evan Davies, and *Javid Evans, convicted of burglary and robbery at Pantyfen* c1 *"e parish of Llanfihangel-ar-arth, were called on, and the rat was sentenced to 20 years* transportation, for being an ^f#80ry before the fact, and the instigator to this disgraceful A**??6'» all the others were sentenced to 10 years tran- sportation. His lordship, in addressing the prisoners, observed that they had been found guilty of an offence of the greatest JK ¥ they had taken advantage of the disturbances to ^U^aPpJyprevailed in this and the adjoining counties, to serve their own private and wi ked purposes but it would oe shewn to them that they would not be allowed to trample upon the laws of the country with impunity, and he would fiend them to a country where they would have no oppor- tumty of committing «ich a disgraceful & cruel outrage again. The scene which took place m the court, after the sentences Were delivered on the latter prisoners, baffles all description. After the prisoners had been removed, his lordship ob- served that the persons charged with destroying a turnpike Rate near Llanddarog would De admitted to bail, until the next assize and the civil causes not tried or settled out ot eourt, would be left as remanents. The business of the assizes then terminated, and the court broke up. On Sunday morning, his lordship left for Brecon. LLANELLY.—On Friday evening, the 23d iaat-' young men met in the Town-hall, and fanned a committee for the commencement of an Harmonic Society in for the study of, and improvement in, music. A set otrules waa drawn up and a president, leader, and secretary ap- pointed. About a doxen put down their names as members. PKOBSTRIANISM.—A singular walking match came off jn thf neighbourhood of Llanelly, on Saturday last, the 23rd inst. The wager was made by a short, stout, active man, of the name of Thomas Morris, living on Mynydd-bach, m this parish, against several other persons, that he would walk sixtvmiles in the space of twelve hours, for one sovereign and if he failed, he would pay ten shillings. The bet was accordingly made, and the place marked out was, from .Brj n caire to the White Lion public house, Vehn Voel, being a distance of one mile exactly. He commenced his march at half-past five o'clock on Saturday morning, ,and ginned •walking with great spirit and alacnty the whole of the fore- noon, gaining considerably as he proceeded. o'clock, when it was the general opinion be would accomplish his task, he foolishly took a good deal of beer, spirits and water, which quite upset him, and about three o clock, while walking his fifty-second mile, he made a dead stand, and then dropped down quite exhausted, so that he was obliged to be carried back we need hardly say the wager was lost We understand a similar trial is to be made on Saturday next, on the same ground, bv a person of the name of David Williams, living m elin VoeL
