MR DISRAELI AT MANCHESTER. THE visit of tho Conservative ex-Premier to the city which he himself has aptly styled, the capital of machinery," proved a. transcen- dent success. Not only did it astonish those even who anticipated most confidently the popular enthusiasm that distinguished it, but its effects were such as to compound and bewilder those who had tried and still will try to persuade themselves and the world of the utter emptiness and absurdity of the whole thing as a political demonstration. It was undeniably a triumph,—a triumph as genuine and brilliant as anything of the kind achieved either by Mr Gladstone or by 11r Bright in the palmiest days of their popularity, and however wildly the en- vious and uncandid pens of Radical journalism may strive to detract from the legitimate honours of such a triumph, they can never wholly blind the country to its real magnitude and importance, nor though they may pooh-pooh and ignore its immediate influence, can they fully measure, still less prevent, its ultimate happy effect upon national opinion and policy. The ■enthusiastic reception of the Conservative leaders .—Mr Disraeli and Lord Derby—by the people of Lancashire has already been fruitful of re- sults far beyond what could have been looked for in the mere delivery of any number of speeches. We would not for a moment question either the ability or opportuneness of Mr Israeli's very remarkable speech, yet we can- not but discern in the circumstances of its deirverv certain incidental features of even deeper" significance than anything; which the speech itself contained. In the first place, if ever a lie was killsd, the Liberal self-uelusion as to the non existence of the Conservative working-man has surely received its deathblow. The Conservative workingman has shown him- self, (to use a favourite Radical phrase) in his thousands," and that too, in the greatest of England's manufacturing cities, even in Man- chester itself, heretofore claimed by Radicalism as its headquarters and chief stronghold! Another bubble also blown by Liberal conceit-the delu- sion that the laboriously got up popularity of the so called People's William was a sentiment at once all pervading, o verwhelming, and inex- haustible '—is likewise broken and all its daz- zling hollowness betrayed. Mr Gladstone at Greenwich affords but a sorry spectacle beside that of Mr Disraeli at Manchester. But of all the various episodes which marked the recent demonstrations of Lancashire Conservatism per- haps the one of most prominent significance was the appearance of Lord Derby and Mr Disraeli together on the same platform as the avowed and teeognisedleadersofthe GreatConservative Party. This, again was an incident that flatly refuted the Radical misrepresentations so persistently circulated as to the want of sympathy and bar mony between the noble son of the late Tory chief and the present leader of "Her Majesty's Opposi- tion in the House of Commons. What said Lord Derby himself on the matter? How did he greet his distinguished co-operator in the Constitutional Cause? "I am proud" said he, to see in Mr Disraeli not only my own political colleague and chief, but a personal friend of more than twenty years standing." After this, and after his lordship's reiterated adhesion to the party and principles of the Constitution, let us hope we shall hear no more of an insinuation so utterly destitute of truth. Lord Derby has leng occupied a position almost peculiar to him- self in English politics and popular estimation; at once shrewd, calm, impartial, and courageous, he exerts an exceptional influence upon public opinion, and, although not yet ostensibly the leader of his party, will henceforward exercise no secondary influence in deciding its course and policy. These are, as it seems to us, the chief practical eut-comings of Mr Disraeli's Man- chester visit, and, as affecting tha future of political parties in this country, we are inclined to esteem them as of even greater import than anything we find in the three-hours-and-a- half speech of the right hon. gentleman—clever, instructive, brilliant, and successful as was that speech.

PEMBROKESHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS Tkese sessions commenced, at the Shire Hall on Tuesday before J. II. Scourfield, Esq., M.P., (Chairman); James Beran Bowen, Esq., (Vice- Chairiaan) Lord Cawdor; James Higgon, Esq; W. Owen, Eeq; L. Mathias, Esq, Lamphey Court; J. L. G. P. Lewis, Esq, Henllan H. S. Morgan, Esq, Tegfynydd; James Bowen, Esq C Allen, Esq, Tenby; Rev. S. W. Saunders, St. Iehmaels; A. B. Starbuck, Esq, MilCord; T. Skoae, Ellq, Haroldatone Hall; Rev. R. H. Euckby, Begelly. THE REPORT OF THE CHIEF CONSTABLE. Chairman I have no communication from the Secretary of State or the Lord Lieutenant to lay before you. Therefore I will take the communi- cation respecting the general police of the county. The Chief Constable says MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,—I have the honor to lay before you the tabulwr returns ofcrime, as iar as known to the police, duritig the past quarter. "Table 4" shows that 15 crimes have been reported, for which 13 persons were appre- hended, of whom 6 were sent for trial, and 7 -weredischarged. In "Table 5" a return of the number of persons proceeded against summarily before Justices, 159 cases have been adjudicated on at the several petty sessions in this county, when 27 males and 8 females were discharged, and 105 males and 19 females were variously punished. I beg to add that I have paid to voar Treasurer the undermentioned sums received hv me since 1"st Q-iarter Session*. For service of summonses, and execution of warrants, £23 5s Id; Rents of Lock-up Houses, £5 14s; showing total paid in aid of police rate, £28 198 Id. I have also paid the sum of £1-1 5s 3d in aid of the Superannuation Fund. In aid of county rate I paid your Treasurer for Poller's Certificates granted and endorsed, £ 20 Si Gi, making alto- gether £ 63 12s lOd. I am happy to be enabled to report thnt the Foot and Mouth disease has diminished very much in the County since my last report. Since its appearance amongst U8 it has prevailed on 108 farms, but now it is confiued to three places, two et which are in the hundred of Castleniarlin, and one in the hundred of Narbertb. 14 beasts are all that now remain affected in the County, and, if the present rate of decrease is maintained, I have reason to hope that in a few weeks the County will be free from the infection. One convict is at present in this county under ticket-of-leave: he reports himself regularly to UI aa required by the terms of his license. He was discharged from the convict establishment in a disabled -state, and ii, in consequence, unable to do anything to obtain a livelihood. I regret to Lave to report the death of Superintendent George Evans, after a service of nearly 15 years, of which he was nearly six years in charge of the Pembroke sub-division. Three constables have been fined for misconduct during the past quarter, and one constable has sent in hitresignatton. A: B. 0. STOKKS, Chief Constable for Pembrokeshire. Chairman: With regard to this ticket of leave man, does he belong to the county ? Captain Stokes: I have put it in my report about his not being able to get a living, because the uome Office call upon us to say whether con- vi<t; are getting some honest livelihood: they turned this man loose upon the county with a disabled arm. 1t"i:p(,p;r GF THE VISLTLJFO JCSTICE8. Mr Ti, Owen, presented tho following report of the Yltilt-ia. Jii6i.cej •' The Visiting Justice? ox the Gaol and Kc use of Correction of the Couutv of Pemoroko in presenting their quarterly report beg to state that nothing has occurred in the management or discipliuo of the prisons which would r«quiru ep-ic.al mention. The health of the prisoners has betju fcj-jd. Th? state of repairs is very fair. (Signed) JAMES BOWEX. WILLIAM OWEN". r Mr L Mathias Thers is one qu9gticn I should I: like to as* the Visicing Justices, and that is what uitaa* they uVj ws Uat Qoutrasla < properly carried out. It was not very long ago that the questiou of the bread supply was mooted, and it was ordered that the jail be provided with barley bread. Mr Owen: It is supplied with barley bread according to the directions given by the Visiting Justiees. The bills are sent into the clerk, and are certified by him and the Jailer before they are ordered to be paid. Mr Mathias That is just the question I wanted to know. Do you know what bread is used in the Jail ? It ia not always barley broad. Mr J. Bowen It was a short time not supplied with barley bread: it was a mixture of barley and what is generally called sharps." In consequence of some people making a complaint against it, we gave notice to the Jailer that he was to insist upon the contract being carried out and barley bread supplied. I believe it is now carried out. Mr Mathias The reason why 1 name it is simply this: parties in the Union are supplied with barley bread, and in the Jail it is different. They say they would much rather go to jail because they get better bread in the jail than in the unions. I followed it up, met the con- tractor, and got a loaf of bread, a piece of which I ate. I found it was not barley bread at all it was good brown wheaten bread they were supplied with. If we are to supply them with wheaten bread, the Home Secretary will allow a. much lower dietary than what we are giving. What i look upon is the unfairness to the unions in allowing bettor bread in the jail. However, Mr Bowen says it is altered. Jailer: Barley bread has always been supplied for some long time past. Perhaps it may happen on some rare occasion that the contractor has not sufficient barley, but barley bread is always given. Mr Mathias: You must not toll me that, because since I was up with you, I went to Mr Farrow, and demanded this jail loaf, and that certainly was not barley bread. Jailer: He explained to me afterwards that that bread had not been delivered. Mr Mathias: It only makes parties in the Union dissatisfied. The following is the report of the Governor of the Jail:- My Lords and Gentlemen.—I have the honour to report that during the paat Quarter the general daily average number of prisoners has been 27. The health of the prisoners has been good. The following is the number of prisoners now here 'O.. LVI r. TJ.

THE JOINT LUNATIC ASYLUM. Chairman The report of the Joint Lunatic Asylum has been printed, and is in the hauds of the magistrates. The weekly cost is reduced to 8s gd-one of the lowest in the kingdom I should think. Mr Lewis, (Henllan): Very nearly. THS REPORT OF THE COUNTY SURVEYOtt. Chairman I have two certificates from medical men saying that the Bridge Surveyor is suffering very much from rheumatism and bronchitis, and stating that the state of his health renders it imperative he should have rest, and a change of climate for some months. Mr C. Alien Is there any application for leave of absence ? Chairman It is in the shape of accounting for leave of absence. Clerk He is applying for leave He recom- mends John Morgan, who has worked under him for many years, should be appointed to look after the bridges but this of course he leaves in the hands of the court. His reason for naming Morgan was that he is intimately acquainted with all the bridges in the county. Mr W. Owen I don't think we should appoint Morgan. Chairman Not of course permanently: but only for a time. Mr Owen We should have some person more suitable: Morgan is a sub-contractor of Mr George's: he goes round the county we don't know what he does or what he gets for it. Clerk From what I heard in Carmarthen, I think Mr Lukin, who is the town surveyor, is willing to overlook Carmarthenshire, and te partly overlook here. Mr Owen: Morgan is a contractor under Mr George. It will not do to have a maa to pi ice his own work: if Mr Lukin comes down there will be no objection at all: he will come in the capacity of Surveyor. Mr Mathias There is & man who, if he will take it, is quite competent for the work. He is not here and has not been asked. I refer to John Lewis, who has been brought up an engineer. Chairman: You refer to a new appointment. Mr Mathias I mean to act temporarily. Chairman I fancy it is not a quarter in which there will be heavy work. Mr Owen: I beg pardon: this is the very quarter for doing repairs to foundations of bridges, but not the roads. Chairman There are no floods to be expected likely to occasion damage. Mr Owen This is the time of year when the water is low, and when the foundations ef bridges can be repaired. Mr Mathias Some ot us seem to think that Morgan does not know so much about it as we wish. Clerk Mr George asks for leave of absence, he of course finding a proper substitute. The county will have nothiug to do with the payment. Chairman There is no question about Mr George's iliness it is certined. by medical men. Mr Owen: It is better to appoint a competent surveyor. Chairman We could grant him leave of absence subject to his finding a proper substitute to be approved by the Court. Mr Bowen I would ask whether the affaire of Cardigan Bridge is te go on. Clerk With regard to Cardigan Bridge, the delay is a good deal attributable to this circum- stance-that the Pembrokeshire side would not require so much to be expended as the Cardigan side, and Mr George was not willing to expend the full half. Vice-Chairman: The real impediment with regard to Cardigan Bridge is that the specifications agreed upon by the Surveyor are considerably beyond the mark. The lowest contract is considerably in excess of the amount to be expended. The position of the matter is this the man who sent in the lowest tender sent in a proposition to the committee to omit parts of the work such as the casement of the*cutwatersf and other work connected with the foundations, with which we have really nothing to do. We have seut iu the proposition to the Surveyors, and we expuct next Saturday to know whether it would be safe to proceed with the widening of the bridge without recasing the cutwaters. If the Surveyors will allow us, we will proceed, but we will not, proceed without their written opinion. It has occurred to them that a great deal of trouble would be saved if some means could be devised so that we should have one Surveyor instead of two. It would facilitate the matter: we have been sitting two years, and have made very little pro- gress. I hope by next Quarter Sessions that some- thing will be done. The' Committee are acting with great caution, and will not allow anything to be done. that is not perfectly safe. Chairman With regard to Mr George's appli cation you must adept one of two plans. Either you should agree to his recommendation and name Air Morgan as his substitute, subject to the condition that he is not to certify any work in which he might be engaged himself, or that his work should stand over for the return of the Surveyor, or be certified by some other person. If you do not appoint Mr Morgan, the only other resource will be to grant Mr (: eorge leave of absence, and he should find a substitute to be approved by the Quarter Sessions. One of these two courses must be adopted. Mr Mathiaa The court declines to accept the services of Mr Morgan and recommend Mr (Jeorge to name another party to be approved by the adjourned Quarter Sessions. Vice-Chairman: I would suggest with regard to Cardigan Bridge that the better course would be to allow Mr Szlumper to superintend the work altcgetuer. 1 think Mr Goorga would con- eont co that. is.r Szlumper could well superin- tend his own share and that of r.nibvokeshire. The matter could be easily arranged.. Mr .rfathias: I would bs better to have the Bridge saparinisr.dod by one person instead of by two for reasons. Yica Chairiitaa: It is doubtful whether wo caa tha work done for the money. A- r Mathias There may bo one Surveyor, but you may have two accounts. Vice Chah juau Separate tenders and separate contracts. Mr C. Allen, of Tenby, proposed that Mr Plumper be engaged as Mr George's substitute, and that he receive half the salary. Chairfiaan I think the work is so Very small,! ih&'t ii might bo doitf by 21 r Morgan, it bcisg understood that Mr George is responsible for it. I Mr C. Allen He cannot be responsible if he is ill. Rev. R. Buckby If Mr Morgan be had as a substitute for Mr George, I would suggest that no bills be paid unless the magistrates have an opportunity of inspecting work, and seeing whether it was done. Chairman: Mr Szlumper could be instructed to take the repairs of Cardigan Bridge. Clerk What about the payment? I wish to keep the county clear of any demand. Mr Mathias I think the court declines the services of Mr Morgan, and Mr George sllould be requested to name somebody else at an adjourned Quarter Sessions'. Mr Ovren Some competent surveyor. Lord C.twdar I beg to second the motion. I think it is worth while to give Mr George a hint that the magistrates will not accept any person unless he is a proper surveyor. [SURVEYOR'S it KPO Ii T. ~J The following is the report of the Surveyor :— The only bridges which I have to report upon at these sessions are the following :— Fisngunrd Bridge. — When I examined this bridge last autumn the foundation of the piers, and indeed th* whole structure, was in a shaky condition. This bridge I may mention is a very old one, and built upon the surface of a rather softish rock or rab, which by the action of the water some centuries has been a great deal worn away and consequently the foundations of the piers have been considerably undermined. Sundry repairs have been done to them during the last 17 year!! but apparently without any durable effect. It is under these circumstances my opinion that so large a sum of money would be required to place it in anything like a permanent state of repair that would go a long way to- wards building a new bridge, and considering that the present bridge is so inconveniently constructed in regard to width, position, &c., (being only 8 feet 6 inches wide,) I think it would be ad- visable that the county should only lay out a small sum not exceeding £5 upon the temporary repairs of the piers, and that they should consider the advisability of erecting a totally new bridgo adjoining the present oae on the lower side. I do not anticipate any immediate danger to the present structure, which might be used if my sug- gestion is carried out during the building of the new one. The cost of a new bridge of two arches would certainly not exceed i\;0(). Llanyohare Bridge—Some smdll repairs are also necessary to the piers and foundations of this bridge. I have to apologise for not attending the Court to-day, and beg to state that my health has been so bad during the winter that I am ordered to take complete rest from business for some months, and also a change of climate, and in order to obtain this 1 purpose to employ some other person to do my wcrk in the interval. I therefore beg the Court to appoint some one te fill my place during the ensuingsuinmer." After some further conversation, it was ordered that Mr George bo requested to find n ^r.bstitnte during his absence on leave granted by the Court for the term of 6 months in consequence of ill health, the name of such substitute tojbe submitted to an adjourned Quarter Sessions, to beheld on Friday, the 19th of April. THE ACCOUNTS. Chairman: The county accounts were care- fully gone through out of court and also in the Graud Jury Room. Mr Mathias was kind enough to go through the accounts and made his report to ua to day. He made a eomplsint in reference to one bill which it is my duty to represent to the Court. That bill was one in which the items extended so far back as 1867. He bad no satis- factery vouchers, and of course we could not say whether the work was done or improperly done. On the part of the magistrates I may say, and still more on the part of the ratepayers of the county—that it is necessary to avoid a practice which might ba the means of inflicting very srer.t injustice upon the ratej ajers: of course if we allowed bills to stand for five years without being presented to the court, the expense of paying them would fall upon new ratepayers, who would not be legally responsible for them. Therefore I really must impress upon persons who have demands upon the county that they should send in their bills in proper time. The county is a very good paymaster, and always willing to pay their bills as soon as sent in. If they are sent in at once there are always magistrates present to give infor- mation as to any dispated items. If items are not s nt in for 5 or 6 years, it is perfectly impossible for them to say whether the work was properly done or whether the account is correct. This is the only case submitted to as there was another case which was explained, the bill having been sent in very recently. There happened to be a magistrate in the room able to give a satisfactory explanation. Mr Mathias has made this recommendation be says—I wish to move that the legal rates be paid by the Trea- surer on being certified by the Clerk of the Peace. Mr Mathias: I believe a considerable percentage will be saved to the county. If the rates are not paid, and they stand over, we lose our per- centage. I have nothing more to say except that whan I found the bill ran from 1867, and that there were no vouchers but verbal orders. I coniidered it my duty to bring it before your notice. Chairman I am sure we are very much obliged to you for doing so. It is highly neces- sary some notice should be taken of it. A great injustice might be done to rate payers who may be made responsible for bills rendered for work done before they became ratepayers. I really must take the opportunity of giving this public nntie. that the county do expect all bills should be sent in as soon as possible, and if any bills come in late, there will be a corresponding delay in paying them. And of course the court will in- vestigate the items by such evidence as the magis- trates can procure, which is always a work of time. Mr Henry Mathias (who acted for the Trea- surer) I have to ask the Court for a county rate of a halfpenny in the £ and a police rate of a halfpenny in the JE. Chairman I will just givo an abstract of the Treasurer's accounts. The receipts show a balance to the county of £1505, and the out standing county rate amounts to £417 163. These added make JE1923. The payments are —for Lunatic Asylum instalment and interest £161; in respecÎ'°f another loan 1831; for the Gaol 11615s. These payments amount to460il6s 8d. The estimate of paymeuis to be made according to the Easter Quarter in 1871 will amount to £994, whioh taken from £],923 there remains £928. The Treasurer proposes to apply for a county rate of a halfpenny in the £ which will give £636, leaving in the hands of the Treasurer £ 1,534. The receipts on the polioe account are £9: 9, outstanding ..208, making altogether £ 1.128. The payments are—the esti- mate of the Chief Constable, including £1BO required for police clothing is ,G9(;1: the Trea- surer's salary, and other matters make altogether £1,012, leaving a surplus of £1;(;, The Trea surer applies for a police rate of a halfpenny in the £, which will produce £(j12, leaving in the hands of the Treasurer £ 729. The rates were granted in accordance with the application of the Treasurer. THE PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL LAND ADJOINING THE JOINT LUNATIC ASYLUM. Mr Lewis, of Henllan 1 beg to move that the sum of £1,500 be granted by this Court towards buying extra land adjoining tho asylum at Car- marthen, Mr Owen: This is an important question: there is a very small Benoh present, and would it not be desirable to adjourn this question until the next Quarter Sessions ? Chairman: How do we stand with regard to Cardiganshire in this matter ? Mr Lewis: I don't know how we stand with regard to this question at all. First of all it was proposed that we should purchase part of the Llangain and Llanstephan Glebe land; that was objected to, and we were requested te enquire whether we could not get a portion of the Sterling Park Estate. After that a committee roported that there were about 30 acres which it was desirable to have, and the Committee of Visitors adopted the report of tho Committee. At the last meeting it was decided to purchase only 12 acres Mr Howell Thomas declines to sell 12 acitfs, and the real position we are now in I am unable to state. I think it is desirable to place the money at the disposal of the Visitors to purchase any land they can get: I don't know whether you will get any land at all. Between two Btools we have got to the ground. You wouL: not purchase Llangain Glebe when you ocakl iiavo had it, and you would not purchase Mr Thomas's when you oould have had it. Chairman 1 quite agree that we should pro- vide more iund.il wo can get it. Defore we grant the ;£1600 we should know how wu stand. Mr Lewis: I move that a sum of £1500 be placed at the disposal of the Vigors. Mr Mathias That is, in ta&e you should bo able to get 30 acres you should have the means of paying for it. ..3r Lawis I don't think you will get, any land at all. if you Wish the Visitors to havo land, you must place the money at their disposal to Imy it. Mr Owen Why not oomg h^re with a direct prop^itioD, 1 Chairman: You do not want the money at J once. I Mr Lewis: I don't know that you will want the money. The difficulty in dealing with this matter is this it is impossible to get the three counties to agree the same time. What I ask is to put at the disposal of tho Visitors £1500 in case they want it, so that we should not oome here again and have disoussions as to whether we should have the money or not. Clerk: You must mako some provision to raise it. Mr Lewis There is no reason to do that. Clerk: I wanL to know how the procedure is to be carried out. Mr Lewis: If you authorise the Visitors to spend the money, they will give you notice when they want tho money. Clerk: Ihen the order will be that the Clerk of the Peace upon your requisition take the neces- sary steps to get the money. Mr Owen Do you not think that when we have so small a Bench, it would be better to postpone this question. Clerk: Mr Phillips reminds mo that the Loan Commissioners will require a copy of the erder of sessions. Earl Cawdor: I don't think there is any pressing necessity for carrying this motion. I hace unfortunately left my ngenda paper for Car- marthenshire behind, but 1 am quite sure there is no notice of application for money at that Court. Mr Lewis There is not. Earl Cawdor: If you make an order now, Pem- brokeshire will not be one whit more behind than Carmarthenshire. (" Hear, hear," for Mr W. Owen.) I am rather more sanguine of getting l*»nd than Mr Lewis. There in Church land exactly opposite the Asylum which we looked at, and. which met the approval of the visitors from Cardiganshire they said they would impress upon this Court the propriety of getting this land il we could. In the meantime the land has been let, but one of the visitors, Mr Gwyn, of Gourt Hir, made an arrangement with the clergyman by which he only let the land for one year. When the term of one yenr is out, it is competent for the Visitors to hire it or buy it. It is to my mind much better than that of Mr Howell Thomas we can hire or buy it. Mr Lewis: I would only remind your Lord- ship that that is the very land I proposed in the first instance to buy, but which you objected to because you thought it was too dear. I don't think you are likely to buy it. I don't press matter: in all probability mv connection with the the asylum will have finished long before the land is purchased, but I think it is unfair to the Visitors to put them in a false position. I am very certain you will have to discuss it at the Courts of Quarter Sessions, and I think it is better that one court should grant it. Earl Cawdor: It is impossible to say what the price will he. Our share may be £ 1000 or £1500. I should rather say you should not come to us until you see what can -be done. Mr Skone I have a peiitioo which I have been requested: to present to the ma|istrates in the absence of Mr Lloyd Phillips. It is drawn up by the Guardians of the Haverfordwest Union; and they have requested me to present it. The Chairman then read thefollowing petition :— To the Magistrates of the county of Pembroke in Quarter Sessions assembled Easter 1872, the humble petition of the Guardians of the Haver- fordwest Union in the county of Pembroke and Town and County of Haverfordwest, Sheweth — That your petitioners are informed that applica- tion is to be made for a grant to purchase more land for the purposes of the Joint Counties Asy- lum at Carmarthen. That your petitioners are satisfied from the reports of their committee appointed to examine the asylum that the present quantity of land 29 J acres is amply sufficient for the requirements of the inmates. Your petitioners therefore pray that you will withhold your con- sent to any further purchase, la testimony whereof the common seal of the Guardians is affixed at a meeting of the Guardians by JAMKS SKONK, Presiding Chairman. Mr Lewis: After the opinion of the visitors present, I have no desire to press this motion. I wished to put the Visitors in the best position. 1 will withdraw it. Chairman I should be sorry if it should be thought that the Court would not purchase any land if required. The difficulty is to know the sum required we don't know the lnnd we could get or whether £1.500 would be too much or too little. Mr Lewis The committee ask for £1500,1)ut they need not spend it. Chairman: I should be exceedingly sorry if it should be thought we would not grant any land required. I am strongly of opinion that more land will be necessary. ] am opposed to delay. I have not the least doubt that it will cost more to get it next year. I should regret if any doubt pre- vailed as to our willingness to grant this money, but it is a vague grant: we don't know what the esti- mate is. Mr Lewis I will withdraw it. Chairman: Better let the matter stand over. THE PAY OF THE POLICE FORCB. The Chairman read the report of the Police Committee with reference to the petition for an increase of pay addressed to the justices at the last Quarter Sessions by Members of the Pem- brokeshire Constabulary. The commilteee did not recommend any increase in the pay of the police force generally, bat re- commended an increase of 2s. 6d. a week in the pay of the sergeants at Pembroke and Haverfordwest. Mr Owen said that the report was not what was agreed to by the committee. It was agreed that the sergeant at Haverfordwest should have a permanent increase of 2s. Gd. a week, but at Pem- broke the sergeant should be remunerated for the extra duties he had performed. Mr Mathias I can't go against our report. Mr Owen: It was a mistake in drawing it up. The man at Fishguard will want an increase of pay. The Clerk said there was only an acting sergeant at Fishguard, and the duties were not so heavy. Karl Cawdor: The report does not carry out the recollections of the committee, and the better way will be to move an amendment to the report. Capt Stokes said there was considerable work thrown upon the foroe by the Pedlar's Act. He had paid £20 into the county for work done. Mr Mathias: If you say that you are over' worked, I am not for working you to death. (Laughter.) Earl Cawdor: The repert does mot carry out! the intention of the polioe committee, and I beg to more that the Court do not adopt it: in lieu I beg to move that the acting sergeant at Pembroke be paid an allowance of 2s lid a week for the last quarter up to the time he left that place, and that the sergeant at Haverfordwest receive an increase of 2s. lid. a week. Captain Stokes sug- gests 2s lid in order to avoid fractions. The motion was carried, Mr Owen remarking that the recommendation of the comaaittoe was 2a 6d only. THE REPAIRS OF THB HALL. The Chairman read the following report of the Surveyor as to the repairs of the roof of the Hall: I beg to express my regret at not being able to attend your committee through indisposition and at the same time offer the following report as to the work requires to be done Jt appears to me that the whole of the west side of the roof of the main body of the Hall required new tiling, the slates being nearly all perished. About 12 yards on the east side requires stripping and new tiling, and also a small portion on the hips of the front roof. The lead gutter on the west side is in a bad condition and should he relaid with 7lb ]ead. The 13 sashes in the roof are all in a bad state requiring partiy new glass, new side pieces, new putty and painting. It is my opinion that this work should be carried out before any internal painting or colouring is commenced. The Hall committee were empowered to lay out the sum named by the Surveyor in effecting the repairs required. APPOINTMENT OF CONSERVATORS. The Conservators for the East and West Cleddy Fishery District, to act in conjunction with those appointed by Carmarthenshire and Haverford- west, were reappointed. THE INTERNATIONAL PRISON CONGRESS. Chairman: The next notice is to take into consideration the desirability of appointing three delegates to be present at and take part in the English section of the International Prison Con- gress. 1 beg to say that I shall never take notice of any authorities who are not the constituted authorities of this country, the Secrotary of State or others appointed by law. The Clerk said that it was put on the paper as tho communication had been received. Chairman My idea is that nothing ought to be put on the agenda except it comes from an authority constituted by the law of the land—the Secretary of State, the Lord Lieutenant, or the magistrates. A a to self constituted authori- ties, I hate them, aud so long as I am Chairman of Quarter Sessions I shall never recognise any authority not appointed by law: TUN .JUSTICES' CLEIQV'S FEES. Mr Lewis I was very much taken by surprise at our Petty Sessions at llarberth on Thursday last by finding the charges for parochial duties, Bn'ig by the Jueticea' Clerk, had been iuurgased,1 It is always an unpleasant duty to do, but there are complaints made by the Overseers that these charges are increased, and why we d.on't know. I find that the payment under the new table is 9s 6d greater for every parish than under the old table of fees. I promised at the Petty Sessions to ask the reason why this increase was made, because we cannot understand why there f should be any increase in the payment. We made our Magistrates' Clerk take a little less than the table of fees allowed. I had not heard that the table of fees were altered. They were put before us on Thursday last Clerk I should like to know where you got the 9s Gd. Mr Lewis I will not make an v statement with- out being prepared to support it." In the old table of fees the appointment of constables "as 12-i and they are the same in the new table. The great increase is for notice ofappfn), for special sessions, lor hearing appeal* against poor rates that under 'he old table of f.es Has 2:f: under the new (able it is 8s. Clerk: I cannot answer for Narbertb; but it was always 8s. Mr Lewia The appointment of overseers under the old table was 4s under the new table it is 7i (id. Oerk I grant you are right there. Mr IJ9wis.:Tbe appointment of Constables is the same but the notices of sessions for hearing appeals are 8s. Clerk I don't know what has been done in Narberih, but 8a. is the usual charge ? Mr Lewis Will J ou show it? Clerk Certainly. Mr Lewis; We have never charged it at Narborth. Clerk: The magistrates appoint certain davs and notices of these days are to be posted on the Church doors, so that persons mny know. Mr Lewis 1 think 2i. is quite sufficient: under the new table of fees the charge is 8s. Clerk There were so many disputes between the Home Office end the county with regard to the fees, that it was suggested to the magistrates of this Court that the table should be altered. The Court gent to the Secretary of State and asked him to supply a tabic which would meet with his approval. He did send a table it is the same as ill Carmarthenshire with one or two exceptions. A committee sa, and Mr Scourfield went to the Home Office: after con- sideration, the committee agreed to it and the Home Office also agreed to it. It ill true that in this district (I cmnot answer for Narberth,—I should be sorry to doso)-in four divisions, the charge has always been 8s. There is an increase of 4*. 6d in the Overseers, but in other cases there arfa certain items reduced, such as excusing paupers from rates. The vagrants are put down at 5s., and for poor rates it is reduced to 6.1, which will hardly pay- or the printing. I think, while on the one hand our fees are cat eff, that on the other hand we are entitled to an ascending scale. Mr Lewis; There are 155 parishes in the county of Pembroke, and according to the' present table the magistrates' clerk, will get £2.31. 6d. from each parish. That must be paid by the Overseers and will amount to £300. Clerk How do you make it up ?—I don't say you are not correct. If I wished, I could work up the table to more than i. charged. Mr Lewis: I quite agree that the Clerk should be paid for the work he does. Clerk: There are four notices at separate times at Is each. r Mr Lewis. Thero should net be notioe at four timei. Clerk: I beg your pardon: thero must be according to law. By the opinion of Counsel, there must be notice four times. So far as the Overseers are concerned I could make it 9d more, but the clerks have agreed to take 7s 6d. If it were not for these payments, I would not hold the office in agricultural districts. I flatter myself that we are to be paid something for our expe- rience. We pay all expenses of printing and travelling expenses. Mr Lewis: In the new table the fees to parishes are charged 9s 6d more, and I want to know how that is. Clerk- In Rooae and Kernes, and in other districts with which I havo been connected the charge has been 8s from the beginning. If I could put my hind upon it there is a paper in which the charges were put down by order of the court some 7 or 8 years ago. Mr Lewis My object in asking the question is to ascertain why the parishes should pay !)s 6d more. Mr James says it is allowed by the Secretary of State I wish to ask if the Secretary of State is responsible for this increase. Clerk: He is in the aggregate. There is a bill before the House of Commons for paying the Magistrates' Clerks by salary instead of fees. In some parts of England, the county make money over the backs of the Clerks, who are paid a salary, and the county gets the fees. How do you make up the amount to £2 3s 6d. Mr Lewis: The appointment of overseers, 7s. 6d overseers accounts and highways, 6s; appointment of constables, 12¡¡; notioe of special sessions, 8s: poor rates, 4s.Thatmakes.ei 17s. 6d. Clerk I don't wish totako advantage of you you have omitted 4a. for the jury lists, which makes the amount £2 Is. 6d. The Court then adjourned. WEDNESDAY. The Court assembled to day at 10 o'clock The magistrates on the Bench were Mr Soour- field, Mr J. B. lio.ien, and Mr James Powea. Iu charging the Graud Jury, The Chairman said —Gentlemen of the Grand Jury —I am glad that the full number of Grand jurymen came, or we should have been obliged to fill up the deficiency from those who are sum- moned on the petty jury, and there might have been a deficiency of petty jurymen, which would consequently obstruct the business of the court. My object is to try to release all persons who attend here on juries as early as possible, and any delay in coming here in the morning pro- duces and exactly opposite effect. The cases before you I am happy to say are few, and not at All of an aggravated character. The amount of property stolen is limIted, and I don't think the cases present any particular difficulty. In two of the cases property, which is alleged to have been stolen, is found in the possession of the prisoners, and in that case it is always in- cumbent upon them to give some reasonable account of tho manner in which it came into their possession. If no good cause is given for the possession of the article, it is quite sufficient to justify the Grand Jury in finding a bill. The other case is one of obtaining goods by false pre- tences. The only thing you have to look to is to satisfy yourselves that the party charged made an assertion of some pretended fact, which fact was not true, and on the assertion of that fact the perBOn who had the property parted with it. If you are satisfied of these two points, you are justified in finding a bill. 1 fee 1 I should be really occupying your time*unnecessarily in offering any further observations. Jt is satisfactory to me to see, on the whole, so very limited an amount of crime before the notioe of the Court. That has been the case for some time, and I trust it may continue so. OBTAINING GOODS BY FALSE PRETENCES, Martha Davics, alias Sarah Thomas, aged 20 years, a servant, was charged with obtaining by false pretenoes from Louisa Beale, certain drapery goods, of the value ef £ 2 5s 3d, with intent to defiaud, at Milford, on March 5, 1S72. Mr Bowen Rowlands (instructed by Mr Price) prosecuted. "The prisoner pleaded guilty. The Chairman in passing sentence said,—Martha Davies—You have pleaded guilty to a serious charge, because the offence you have committed is one that implies a great deal of deliberation and thought. It is not one which is committed under sudden impulse, but shows a dangerous disposition. There is no previous conviction recorded against you, but I must warn you that the result of this conviction will be if you commit any offence again, that you will be fortune if you escape penal servitude. The sentence of the Court on the present occasion is that you be imprisoned in the House of Correction and kept to hard labour for three calendar months. CHARGE OF STEALING A MILK PAIL. Anne Richards, aged 43 years, was oharged with stealing one milk pail, value 3s, the property of Thomas Howells, at Nevern, ou the 12th March, 1872. Mr Bowen Rowlands (instructed by Mr Price) prosecuted. 'Ihe jury found the prisoner guilty, recom- mending her to mercy on account of.her age. The prisoner was further charged with having been previously convicted of felony at Poutareelly. The conviction was proved by the Governor of the Jail, aud the Jury found her guilty of this charge also. The prisoner was further charged with stealing a riddle, value Is, the property of Levi Salmon at Nevern, on the 12th of March. The Jury found the prisoner guilty. The Court then sentenced her to six mouths imprisonment for the offenco of stealing the pail after a previous conviction for felony, and two months for the offence of stealing the riddle, in both casus with hard labour. [Before the Vice Chairman, Mr J. B. Bowan.] CUAUOE OF STEALING CAST Inox. Ill hard Jones was charged with stealing certain < cast iron, valus 33, the property of the mortgagees j of John Benjamin Wimshurst, at Stainten, on the 26th of February, 1872. Mr Bowen Rowlands (instructed by Mr W. John prosecuted), and Mr Lasoelles (instructed by Mr Price) defended. The prisoner was seen in the Old Dockyard at Milford in the act of picking up something and placing it in a bag. He was subsequently met u y. wa^c^8r- named Jackson, coming from the direction of the dockyard with a bag on his back. Jackson went to a marine store dealer's shop kept by Mr John, where he saw the prisoner in the act of selling a quantity of'old iron re sembling iron which had been placed by Jackson in a heap for sale in the Old Dockyard. Jackson requested the marine store dealer's assistant not to buy the iron, saying it was stolen from the ocJcyard ihe prisoner said that he picked up the iron on the beach, and that it was broken in pieces by falling on the ground. Mr Lasceliep addrefse l the jury en behalf of the prisoner, and the Vice Chairman gummed up the evidence with great clearness and ability. Jhe jury found the prisoner not guilty. im-OlKTMENT Of INSPECTOR, OF, WEIGHTS AND WJSASUKtS. Snpt. John Thomas, of Pemb oke, was ap pointed Inspector of Weights and Measures in place of the late Supt. Evans. THE MASONIC HALL.-The Amateur Histrionic Society has announced another of their admirable entertainments, whioh will take place at the Masonic Hall on Tuesday next. The pieces to be performed are Binks the Bagman'" and "SlasherandCrasher." TIIK TAREKNACLK CHAPEL.— The Rev Mr Long has resigned the pastorate of the Tabernacle Chapel, a position which he has filled with great ability for eight years. The rev. gentleman has won the esteem of members of all denominations and his removal from the town will cause gieat re- gret. Mr Long has received invitations to labour in connection with churches atWiganand Liverpool, but as yet he has not made any selection cf a new sphere of duty. FAIR.-The annual fair was held on Tuesday. There was an average supply of cattle of all descriptions, and a very numerous attendance of dealers from all parts of the Principality. The best beasts were eagerly bought up at advanced rates. Sheop also sold at enhanced prices. There was an excellent show of entire horses: every class of animal being well represented. The pig fair was held on Wednesday. There was a fair supply, and a large amount of business was transacted at remunerative prices. IIAVERIIORDWEST PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held at the Shire Hall yesterday before J. Thomas, Esq., (Mayor) J. W. Phillips, Esq., and T. Rule OweD, Esq.-Thl charge against James Roberts of stealing a sheepskin was dismissed. Martha Pritchard was charged with exposing butter for sale in the Haverford- west Market, the same being deficient in weight, Five pounds of butter were of insufficient weight. The defendant was fined 59 with coats. ST. MARY'S CHURCH.—The usual vestry was held last week, at which the outgoing wardens, Mr R. James, and Mr Rule Owen were unani. re-elected. The accounts were examined, and a balance found to be in favour of the parish after paying all expenses.—On the occasion of the Easter services, the church was very neatly decorated. Flowers were introduced into the ornamentation, which had a very pretty effect. Some very handsome flowers from the gardens of Picton Castle were used in the decorations, and attracted much notice. Some neat inscriptions were also erected on the walls, and the decorations had a most pleasiug effect. THII NEW CATUOLIC CHURCH—This ohurch will be opened on Wednesday the 24th instant, when a sermon will be preached by the Rev R. Richardsou of Newport, Monmouthshire. An announcement of the nature of tho services will be found in another column. The Rev John Cullen, the resident clergyman, has laboured with groat energy to secure a. suitable building for the public worsnip of the flock under his charge, and has at length the satisfaction of seeing his werlc completed. The church is a neat structure, nnd will accommodate on the opening day about 250 persons. The admission will be by tickets, a limited number of them being reserved. AN OLD pAKisnroNEK.—A parishioner of St. Mary completed, on Sunday last. the 90th anniversary of her baptism, which took place in St. Mary's Church on the 7th of April, 1782, the officiating clergyman being the Hev. C A 11away, Vicar of St. Mary. Baptisms in old times created more interest than they do in modern days, and on the ocoasion of the baptism of the lady, the subject of this paragraph, her relations and neigh- bours marched in procession to the Churoh. Strangely enough, throughout the whole of her long life, she has never slept a night out of her native plaoe, Haverfordwest, and has only visited three places in tho county-Narbarth, Dale, and Milford. It should be mentioned that proof of the accuracy of the stat ement as to the date of her baptism is furnished by the register of St. Mary. On Sunday last, this aged parishioner, who has been a member of a religious community for 67 years, was congratulated on attaining the 90th anniversary of her baptism by no less than three generations of her family. HAVBRFORDWEST YOUNG MEN'S MUTUAL hl- PROVEMENT SOClETT.-Furing the past six months this society has been carrying on its operations with very great vigour and success, and at the final meeting for th« season, held on the 21st ult. it was resolved that the Kevt>. J. Q-. Packer j"'w Thompson, and H. C. Long be presented'with a beok each as a humble acknowledgment of the valuable services rendered by them. Messrs. Wm. Martin, Wm. Williams, G. Mitchel, and T. R. Galvin were deputed to make the selection' ?nd after mature consideration tk#y ultimately fixed upon the work of the Bishop o' Gloucester and Bristol on "Modern Scepticism." The rev. gentlemen were waited upon by the deputation on Monday evening last, when a copy of this book was presented to each. Many thanks are due to the Rev. G. T. Horn for his kindness in granting the Society the use ef the Industrial Schoolioom in which to hold its meetings, and we trust that when the duties are resumed on the 1st of October next, it will be more largely supported by the public than it was during the recently expired term.

PE M BRO KTiTEEPMCTlsiT These sports took plaoe yesterday near Hogeston under the stewardship of M. Saurin, Esq, and J. Bowen Summers, Esq. The course was nearly the same as that laid out last year, and included a goodly number of stiff fenoes, and one or two awkward bottoms, in which the landing places were not of the best description. The ground however, was in excellent order, and none of the jumps were so formidable as to exoite apprehen sions of danger. The weather was delightfully fine, and there was a good attendance of the county lamilies and a tolerably large gathering of the general public. The meeting was got up without preparation, and the nOliee given of it was consequently short. The entries were not numerous, but the racing was very good; and more satisfaction was afforded than at manv meetings of much larger pretensions. Both stewards were on the ground, aud took an active part in the conduct of the meeting, ably assisted by the honorary secretary, Mr V. Michael. Tho following is the result of the different eveuts:- THE BOROUGH MEMBER'S STAKES, A Sweepstakes of 2 Sovs. each with 20 Sovereigns added by Thos. Meyrick, Esq., M.P. Second Horse to save his stakes.
