.. EXTRAORDINARY VESTRY MEETING…
EXTRAORDINARY VESTRY MEETING AT PEMBROKE. An adjourned meeting was held on Monday, i', tie large porch of the church of St. l-'y, lb- the purpose of electing a-churchwarden ?■'>; the parish, and such a scene, we venture to ,m, has not bee i witnessed before by the oldest inhabitant" in the place. It appears fbr.t some dr.ys ago a vestry meeting had been Li-11 for the purpose of electing a parish warden for the erring year, there being two candidates —gamely, Air John Hird, chemist, who held the cilice last year (and, in passing, we may observe that his grandfather and father had been church- for twenty years and seventeen years respectively), and Mr John Gwyther, tailor and A dispute having in some way arisen, i- was determined that the election should be by v re. Notice thereof was given, and Monday wa3 fised for the polling. The Rev H. S. curate in charge, presided; Mr W. 0. :-[::1:11, as assessor, being the returning officer. T::3 polling commenced at ten o'clock and closed at four. Mr W. John, of Haverfordwest, ap- p-arcd on telialf of Mr Gwyther. In justice to the -ngctable Nonconformists of the town, we res" mention that they refrained from interfering an the matter. During Mr Hird's term of office x. & b.:diness pertaining thereto had been carried (;:1 to tLe almost entire satisfaction of the 2>i.]oner3 in every respect, and it was deter- i .im. i, if possible, to re-elect him, Mr Meyrick, 11. P., Mr Saurin, and many other gentlemen v ting for him. The vicar, the Rev. C. Douglas, i appointed a Nonconformist as his warden, 2vJr Joseph Powell, auctioneer, a very estimable g* i:i-raan; and a party, it appears, sought to cusfc 1\1r Uird in favour of Mr Gwyther, not, it is said, on public grounds, but through some i:viv-ite malice. It had been arranged between li candidates, between whom good feeling s- r-cl to exist, that if no vote was recorded wÍ<i;¡ ary given hour, the gentleman who then st £ ~>'f "t the head of the poll should be returned. A:; iive minutes past two o'clock, Mr W. Vviiiiams, timber merchant, said that no vote having been recorded since one o'clock, he would propose that the poll be closed. (At this tine Ilird stood at 128, and Gwyther at 60.) The porch of the church and the approaches thereto were now densely crowded, and con- s excitement prevailed, the more especially as a number of ratepayers (workmen from the dockyard) had arrived for the purpose of voting. A voice in the crowd said that a vote had It-en recorded within the hour. The Rev. Chairman said no. Williams said that the Municipal Act spcciued that if no vote was recorded within the hoi r the poll should be closed. (Several voices declared that the poll should net be closed until iT.'r o'clock.) nr,\V. John said the Act was clear en the master, that the poll should be kept open a sufficiently long period to allow all parishioners to vote—and that the poll should be kept open nr.tii Wednesday night—(cries of Hear,' "No, tlo,•' and much noise)—or, at least, until Tuesday citernoon at six o'clock. (A voice: vVhat, and keep the clergyman here all i: ]ht ?" Hear, hear," and much laughter.) If Mr Hulm had advised Mr Blink to close it, iiifti it was wrong. (Confusion and uproar.) Mr Hulm said he had not addressed Mr BLisk in any way; he was simply there as letuming officer. Mr John said that if they closed the poll ti,t 11 they would do so at their peril. The hLV. Mr Blink said be was not going to 1 e threatened by Mr John or anyene else. (Much noise.) Mr John disclaimed all intention of threaten- ing Mr Blink. (Hear, hear.) He simply piotesteu against the poll being closed. The Rev. Mr Blink said the wording of the Act was specific enough, the poll should bo kept cpf-n a reasonable time, and this had been done sr., I Uierns was no excuse for anyone not attend- 7^ there to vote if bethought proper te do so i -f!: at> hear)—and it lay in the discretion of the ch carman. AT'John said it did not, and if they then Ciostu the poll they did it on their peril. r. A Jermyn said that no parishioner lived Du re than a mile and a half away, and they had had an ample opportunity to come if they had chosen to do so. (Hear, hear.) It was not reasonable that they could keep those gentlemen there all day doing nothing. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman said he had given Mr Gwyther no' .oe that the poll would be^open until four oTbck. Mr John said notice had not been given by the Tfis*ry. Mr Jermyn said that in the morning Mr John had made no objection. Eventually, after some further debate, and turadst much uproar, the Rev. Mr Blink con- s-ledto keep the poll open until four o'clock, tui; not a minute later. At this juncture Mr William Miller, ship- wright, at the dockyard, residing at Pater, came forward to tender his vote, which Mr Blink r'-Ased t: record. (Great uproar ensued.) j Mr John said that Mr Blink was bound te accept the vote, as Mr Miller resided in the parish of St. Mary, was legally a householder, ar t had paid his rates. It was true that he resided i;1 the ecclesiastical district of St. John, lu it was in the same parish, and he would call aU iiition to the fact that there was only one poor-rate and one set ef overseers. The Chairman said no, they were elected separately. Mr John said he cared not for that; Pembroke Dock and Pembroke were in the same parish, and the paupers of both were entitled to and received the same relief therefrom. They had only one highway rate, and they were all entitled to vute at this election. Mr John then cited the •s:r of the Queen ft. Stevens, heard in the Ccurt of Queen's Bench, where it was ruled that .he votes, as a case in point, were good, and he had the utrtiost confidence in saying that Mr Miller's vote should bo received, with all re-;pect to the chairman. If the vote were not re vived, he would, on his own responsibility, arj at hia own cost, bring a case to the Court oi Queen's Bench,—(much noise)—and he s;:jiiid hold Mr Blink responsible for the costs, l,\f¡:¡;l laughter and uproar of voices.) 1 r;o hev. Mr Blink (laid that notwithstanding this threat, he should do his duty, and refuse Mr MilhiA vote, because he maintained bona fide that the Act did not apply, as St. John's had been separate from St. Mary's, ecclesiastically, since 1844, since which time they, at Pembroke, hari never been interfered with. They had their cv,a burial ground.at Pembroke Dock, and they, at Pembroke, were never called to pay anything towards it. 'In his opinion the boundary between the two was defined by the Ferry lane, and i y i'd that line no one had the option of voting; and he should refuse to record them, not as r „i slist any private individual, but on the grounds iiai.; St. Mary and St. John were ecclesiastically separate (A voice: "Then 111 never pay any More poor rates." Cries of Hear, hear, and i-i .A ccnfusicn," Mr John then asked if Mr Blink refused to record Mr Miller's vote, and thereby disqualilied Liui! The Chairman said he did not mean to dis- qualify Inm but he did not acknowledge the y-ce, as Mr Miller did not reside within the u.strict. r'r*«> iw £ four o'clock, Aairman said he should close the poll. nn protested against this being done -uibrokc Dock votes had not been '•Aims said that ho and the A s'ippoit Mr Blink in what he in au! it was his duty, as returning uaolare Mr Ilird duly elected by a ,f x>, tlio votes for that gentleman t r'd for Mr Gwyther 03. uproar endued, but votes of jrded to Mr Blink and Mr Hulm, 'pillion' of Mr Hird, seconded by Mr sui that for the last twenty years .irclr.Yanten. had not taken l».l. ■ '■ ■■ ■— in that parish. This would net have been now, as there was no difference of opinion between his opponent and himself, only Mr Gwyther had allowed himself to be put forward by a clique. (Hear, hear.) When he was elected warden he was perfectly justified in withholding £ 30 a year from Froyne, the parish clerk The venerable tower ef the church was nearly tumbling down, and he believed the vicar did not care if it did. Mr Gwyther bad simply been put forward as the parish clerk's nominee, and the thumbscrew bad been put on at the dockyard. (Cries of No, no," from the Pater men.) Mr Hird said it had been so, whatever they might say to the contrary, and because, as churchwarden of the parish, he had sought to appropriate the church money to its proper use, this clique had been formed to oust him, but he had determined to fight them, and he had done so, and beatea them. (Hear, hear,) Mr W. Williams then explained that the money of the church-some £120 per annum— had been left to the church by some good gentleman about 200 years ago, and was entirely a private matter, and had nothing to do with the ratepayers, who were not asked to pay one farthing. He was quite sure that if the Pem- broke Dock gentleman, for whom he entertained the utmost respect, had known the truth of the. matter, their good sense would have kept them away. (Hear, hear.) At Pembroke they never attempted to interfere with the electien ot wardens at *St John's, Pembroke Dock, and he thought that they might manage their own private affairs in their church without the interference of others. Was it because their parish clerk said he would nominate and put in a warden that they were te oust a man like Mr Hird, who, since he had been warden, had done more towards the restoration, &c., of the church than any other person, and had advanced his own money for this purpose ? (Hear hear.) Mr Hird was perfectly justified in what he had done in appro- priating the money to its proper use, instead of allowing the parish clerk to do as he pleased, who from both parishes (St Mary and St Michael), including fees, had little less than jE70 a year. Were the respectable parishioners to be ruled by him in electing a churchwarden ? Mr Hird had nobly put the "house of God" in order, and he would continne to do so. Mr Williams made a long and able speech explanatory of the whole a matter. Mr Blink and Mr Hulm having responded suitably for the votes of thanks, this most extraordinary meeting separated peaceably.
PEMBROKESHIRE AND HAVERFORDWEST…
PEMBROKESHIRE AND HAVERFORDWEST INFIRMARY. The annual meeting of the governors of this institution was held at the Grand Jury Room, in the Shire Hall, on Monday. There were present: —Mr Seeurfield, M.P., (who presided); Mr Jas. Higgon, Mr Massy, Cottesmore; Col. Peol, Mr R. H. Harvey, Mr C. P. Phillips, Mr Handle, Avellenau Mr W. Owen, Mr James Bowen, Mr E. E. Evans, Mr T. Rule Owen, Dr Brown, Mr S. Green, Mr John Brown, Rev. F. Foster, Rev. G. T. Horn, Mr John James, Mr G. Palmer. Mr R. H. Harvey read the report of the Trea- surer, from which it appeared that the receipts during the past year had amounted to £ 842 8s 9id, and the'expenditure to jE503 10a load, leaving a balance of i>338 17s. lid in the hands of the Treasurer. X180 had been invested in the Savings' Bank, and 91,617 7s Id in the Three per cent consols. The donations of the Haver- fordwest Freemen amounted to £ 25, and the late Mrs Rees's legacy of X200 had been received. These were items which would not occur in another year. The subscription list for the year amounted to JE327 6s (id, while the subscriptions fer the past year were £ 203 12s, showing a difference ef about JC30. The Secretary explained that arrears from a previous year were included in tho former year. On the motion of Mr Owen, seconded by Mr Higgou, the report was adopted. The report of the oommittee of management was as follows:— REPORT OF THE COMMITTBE OF MANAGEMENT FOR TFI1 YEAR 1871. It gives the :Committee very great pleasure to be able to report the continuing efficiency of this In- firrnary In giving relief to large numbers of the sick and aufferiDg poor an effloiency which has made this Institution so valuable a boon to this county and neighbourhood. The statistics which are given below will show tha its operations in the relief of in door and out doo jiatisnts are very extensive.

J Out-door 1430,. 894 990 1025 1278 ine report ot the ateaicai officers was as follows MEDICAL REPORT. Our beds have been constantly employed during the whole year. The books always contain from four to six applicants for admission in advance. More beds and more room are imperatively called for. We sometimes put two in a bed, when accidents demand admission. It is a rule in all hospitals to keep sufficient room for casualties. We send very many away for want of space. We require more light, and an operating room, for want of which operations are constantly post- poned. A fever ward would probably arrest many a serious outbreak. We look with great hope to the prospect of a new establishment filled with all the necessary appliances of modern improvements, as it is not fair to ask us to compete with a more perfect system on suoh disadvantageous terms. We rely in confidence on the good sense of the governors ef this establishment, and hope they will support I the effort made to give to Pembrokeshire a building worthy of the county. Mr Harvey said the outdoor patients were in excess of any former years, but the indoor patients were less. Votes of thanks were then passed to the officers, Governors, House Visitors, and Medical Officers, for their services during the past year; to the clergymen, dissenting ministers, and others who had aided the funds of the Infirmary, and to several ladies who had made presents to the institution. In connection with the vote of thanks to the Ilouse Visitors, it was stated that Mr W. Cozens, had never been absent throughout the whole year. Mr Rule Owen, in proposing the vote of thanks to the medical officers, made an especial reference to Dr Brown, remarking that however atteutive the other medical otfieers had been, Dr Brown had been 10 times more so. The Chairman also said I have great pleasure in putting this resolution to the mooting: it is one with which I cordially sympathise. If I were giving it as a toast at another meeting, I should couple with it the name of Dr. Brown, (Hear, hear.) It was stated that old bottles and linen were very aocoptable gifts to the institution, and it was suggested by the Chairman that this should be made known to the public, as he felt certain that many people would make presents of these articles. Mr R. Harvey read the minutes of business transaoted since the last annual meeting, reading the several resolutions which had been passed in reference to a site for a new infirmary. A com- mittee met that morning, and begged to report, for the information of the general meeting, that having procured the report of the medical officers as to the desirability of building an Infirmary on the site of the old Lunatic Asylum, the committee have proceeded to acquire that Bite, and have succeeded in obtaining a lease of the same with an additional piece of ground to be held for the same terms. They have also caused to he pre- pared certain plans with an elevation for a new Infirmary adapted to the ground, and now submit them for the inspection of the general meeting with the recommendation that they be adopted. The estimated cost of building and furnishing will not exceed altogether the sum of £1,500, and the committee ask the general meeting to authorise the Trustees to vote a sum not ex- ceeding £ 850 out of tho invested funds of the hiiirtuary towards the estimated coat. The remaining sum to be made up by donations and subscriptions. Chairmen I don't think that is very encouraging where wiil you got the money ? Mr Ilarvoy We have £ 150 promised besides. Chairman I am personally opposed to granting more than can be possibly helped. Where are we to get the £ 7GO ? Unfortunately there are other asylums that int;Tfs:c with uj there is oaj at Tenby and one at PuraVck?. Mr Owen There was a diffeTcncc of opinion as to the amount to bo taken out of tho fund*: it wall prc- posed that £ 1000 allocated for the purpose of the buiUiog the con.initteo divided, and there were 2 fo and 2 against. Mr Harvey: I was Chairman, and was in favourr of XSOO for the sake of economy. Chairman: It appears to me that to propose to the meeting to build an infirmary at a cost of X1500 while jG6Qy is all ;h&t is is nol&ini How are we to get the other £700? What atep can we take ? Wo cannct order a contraot. Mr Rule Owen: It will take 5 or 6 years to get- up the money. Chairman What can we do ? I am asking in order to put the matter in some practical shape ? Mr Harvey We thought the committee should submit their plan to a general meeting with tto re- oommendation that it bo adopted with the expression of opinion that not mcro than £ 800 of the invested funds be given towards it. Mr Jamas Bowen Suppose we fail in the sub- scriptions how will the balanoe be made ur ? Air Harvey The mnney is not all wanted at once. Mr Massy; This ia part of the support of the Insti- tution. Mr Harvey We are tnld by several gentlemen who advocate the removal of the building, that it is only nceeiasry to state that money is required for 11 new infirmary, and wo shall have funds. Mr W. Duvies speaks very strongly on the point. Chairman: Wo cannot give an order upon prophecies. I have great rospeot for tho prophets, but we cannot act upon predictions. Mr Massy: A little ornamentation is necessary in order to prevent tho building being unsightly. I agree with Mr Harvey, if it was possible to vote the money without enoroaching upon (fur income, it would bo very well, but how are you to make up the money with only JE800. Mr Harvey: We have £1.50 promised for a new building the Bishop of St David's will givo us £50 he has pa.id one £ -50, and has promisod another con- ditionally. Sir James Hamilton will give £50, and Mr W. Davies has promised £.50. There is another sum promised. Mr Palmer There are £ 150 promised witleitany parties being canvassed. 1 think the oommittee have a stroneg feeling that they will have no difficulty in working up tho remainder. For my own pait, 1 am in favour of advancing £1000: wo are now getting only 3 per oent in oonsols. Mr Higgon That is part of the money which goes for the support of tho Infirmary. Dr Brown: If wo have tho monpy, it will bo no more than the ront WQ pay now. We shall than bo freeholders, and wo now pay rent equal to the inoome received from JCSOO, Rev F. Fostor It is perfectly clear that wo are not in a position to adopt this plan wo cannot entar into any contract without we have the money. I oonceive it is quite possible and compatible with order that this mooting should e.xprci its opinion as to whether it is desirable to entertain and endeavour to accomplish the scheme, not in all its details. I cannot help thinking that it wo may reasonably draw £800 from the money invested, wo may equally with reason calculate upon being able to raise £ 700 in a very short time in this county. I have had a great doal to do with collecting subscriptions—perhaps a great deal more than some of the gentlemen bero present— and we found little difficulty in raising jE2000 for Preniergast Church—a work which was intended for a partioular parish and for a particular religious community. I can't help thinking too of the restora- tion of St Martin'sJChurcb, which was a work for a partioular parish and for a partioular religious oom- munity, and in that case £ 2000 was raised. This is a work which appeals to every heart, and to persona of every creed and oommunity it is a work for this county, and although we have heard that there are other institutions of a similar cbaraoter, yet this is the county town, and it ought to have a county infirmary therefore I do think we may very confidently hope thttj6700 will be raised in a comparatively short time for this great and noble work. I think any 6trnnger coming to this town, walking up Holloway and seeing our infirmary, would form a vory fal?e and erroneous view of the liberality of the gentlemen of the county. Mr Higgon Would the new icfirmary be available if £800 were laid out on it? Col Peel Wo have another £ I 60 promised. Mr Higgon Will £9-50 make it available. Mr Harvey £ 950 will not complete it. Col Peel: If you draw out £1(;00 we should only acandata.rentalofjE6a.year. Mr Owen: I proposed it at the meeting this morning, but was out votad. This is our recommenda- tion, but of courao it is open to tho subscribers to alter it. Chairman: I cannot agree with Mr Foster: he Pays it is not difficult to get tho £700, but it must Le remembered that the £800 ia in hand while the J6700 is in the bush. I go with him entirely in looking at the institution as a county infirmary, and no one has strove hardor than myeelf te make Haverfordwest the metropolis of the cfJunt, (Loud oriel! of' He"r.') Cut you cannot make peoplo in other places to think 60: I am thwarted in every inatancn; wo tried to got up in Haverfordwest an agricultural Society, which should bo the Society for the oounty, but sooietios were established in other towns. We cannot blame pflonleforit: wo ask the eame peoplo to subscribe, but peoplo cannot subscribe to all. There i. a ball at at Pembroke to morrow purposely in aid of the Infirmary. So that we cannot make people look at the matter as we do. I with to make every person look at Haverfordwest as the metropolis of the county, but we cannot compel thom to do ao. Dr. Brown: Those who contribute towards the Ball would also contributo towards this they contribute to the Infirmary for the night's pleasure. Chairman To-day we have a letter—(I will not mention the name, there is nothing discreditable in U)—from a subscriber, who aaya that he is oompollod to withdraw his subscription, in oonsequence of the calls in his own parish. I am afraid. that is the feeling of everybody. I do not see with regard to matter. in which 1 am ooncerned, that people are very ready t come forward. It all falls on the same people: 1 doo not see many new subscribers. Mr Rule Owen I think the Chairman is quite right in what he has saifl with regard to ttla same people giving always. If you look at the subscription list, you will see that the samo 40 or GO people give to everything. Dr Brown The same people are giving to every- thing. We should have no difficulty in getting up a ball here. Chairman A ball will not do muob. Mr Massy Bazaars are become almost nauseous people are sick of them. Mr Rule Owen From tho statement made at the last meeting, JE700 was considered tho extreme sura required to make a proper building. The sum of £ 1,500 is now named. When I asked at the former meeting if the oost would not be more than £ 700. I believe Mr Randle said the oost might be loss even than that. Mr Randle I beg to state the plans are not the same. Chairman I came here with the expeotstion that we should be asked to spend a sum of £800: it has sprung up to £1500. Buildings are never dono for the estimate. Mr VV. Owen: So far all my knowledge goes, these plans were submitted to the meeting this morning and not in competition with any other plan. There was no time to go through them, to see what ornamenta- tion could be taken off. Mr Palmer: At a previous meeting, it was resolved that if we got the old asylum, we were to utilise it in the same way, and make it sufficiently large for 10 or 12 patients. We asked the Corporation for extra land, and they have granted it, and we have extended our plans. Instead of laying out the old building, we have adopted a new plan, aooording to whioh the eostwill be £1,600. Mr Higgon A new building. Mr Palmer And a part of the old. Chairman It is a now place. There is a library, a chapel, and a hall, I don't think the situation is worth muoh everybody haa a right to go there, and make as much noise as they like, it will never mako a first-rate sitoation. Mr John Jamas Allow me to hand in a petition againatthe place being seleotodas tho site of the In- firmary. A gentleman, who is a subsoriber, intended to bo hore, and to BupporVthe petition. He il notnble to bo present, and in his absence I bog to present it. Chairman This is not the place: the matter is eot-iled. Dr Brown. This is not the place for it to be received Mr Randle These plans were mado by myself and submitted to the meeting. I may also etate that I anticipated the feoiing againwt drawing the whole of the menoy. The buildingisonoof tho kind which in its present uiclesa, miserable state, it is almost im- possible to mnko fit for an infirmary. From my pr.otieal knowledge, I made plans which I think would give you all the comforts you want for patients, for at all event", 50 per cent, less money than you will have to PRY for this ornamental work. I sub- mitted these previous to tho other plans being made I found by attending the committee of whioh I formed one, that the majority would have something more ornamental. If you take the superfiuial quantity, you will find that my plan has a much greater area it utilises tho old walls. I should state that my plan utilises the old walls to a much greater oxtent than the new one does. Mr Massy Did you attaoh the amount to yours ? Mr Handle I did not; but I venturo to say that you will have greater acoomuiodatiou at a muoh less sum of meney. Mr Owen How many beda ? Mr Palmer: About 48. Mr Owen: On this plan, there are only 21. Mr Randle: I should like myself to sco this plan—[referring !to the one prepared by Mr Thorna", the architect]—adopted, because I think, Haverford- west requires eo little ornamentation. The fint thing we have to look at is how to carry out the enlarge- ment of the building, and add as much accomodation as possible for tho comfort of the patients, and that I believe my plan does. However, my pllln doos not take, and 1 never expected it would have taken, becau-o I found on tbo part of a number of gentlemen a desire if the money could be had to see something more ornamental. Mine is simply a plan which is useful and gives all the oonvenienco you want for an Infirmary. I would rather seo Mr Thomas's plan adopted, not because it gives more space and more beds, but beoauna it is more ornamental. Mr Uiwen At 50 per cent, more cost than yours. Mr Handle Quite that. At the request of tha Chairman, Mr Rardlo ox- plained tho phn ho proposed, pointing out tbo form of the building in a drawing. The external walls were utilised because they were soun-?, thick and usoful, and would keep out damp and beat—[Dr. Brown: And the nfi¡.:e.] -.u e fdt tbey were desirous of spending as littlo monoy 113 possible, and to get the greatest amount of aeoorur.odaiion in tho building, in the present building, ha they went in at the door, there were a dozen or 15 cells or small rooms, which were uf no use whatever. They were arched over, and upon the top of th?*n weq flags- which flitted the first floor, and they would be taken clean away. He regretted that he W81 not able to attend the meeting of the committee, but he was in favour of the other plan, because he thought Haverfordweet would take a little ornamentation. If they adopted it, there would bo something ornamental: and perhape some kind friend would some day leave the institution a thousand pounds for the purpose. Hit interest in the institution was so great that ho took the trouble to prepare another plan, finding from roading tbe public papers that there would probably be an objection on the part of the Corporation to give and land on the west sido. Some persons had raised and objection, and it was not likely to ba carried, and he hastened to prepare another plan which ho thought would give a good Infirmary, but they would not have the oml- mentation. Chairman I think wo are all very much obliged to Mr Kindle for giving hit judgment and knowledge, which is very considerable, and what he says is borne out by my experience. The preseat building was made as strong as possible: it was built for a jail. I think with him that it is a pity to do away with walls which are built so very strong: we in faot should be pulling down walls muoh stronger than we could build. As to the site, I don't think it is worth muuh but I should submit my judgment to tho medioal men. When a person it dangerously ill, perfect quiet is necessary, but bow yon can legally enforoe quiet round the building I don't know. There may be moans, with which I am not acquainted. The fairs have always been held there the M-ilitia use it for training it is tho noisiost placo in the town, but the medical men say it is no consequenoe, and I say nothing against it. It is a matter for other people to decide, but how you can enforce quiet I cannot tell. Dr Brown Tho walls are exceedingly thiek. I think the place is too solitary tho solitude is killing. There is no induoement to people to walk there: it is uncultivated it is filthy, an eyesore and a nuisance. Chairman It is true "no one goes thoro to walk, but we could wish that they only walked thero. Dr Brown The shows go there, and they mako a noise, but hospitals in other towns are in the contre of large populations: the noise near other hospitals is 20 times as great. Mr Palmer With respect to the objections to the site on account of the noise, I don't think we are called upou to tuild our Infirmary and afford more comfort to the patients who may be confined there than what we have for our own families. If any person was ill in that neighbourhood, the fairs could not be removed, so that we cannot ask for the fairs to be removed when the Infirmary ia built there. Chairman I am decidedly opposed to agreeing to to spend £19;)0 whioh I don't believo will be got, but it is for the meeting to docide. If the estimate is £1600, it will nnt be done for that amount. It will exhaust every halfpenny of' your money. Suppose you were to take Mr Randle's plan and agree to lay out a sum of money not exceeding £1000. Mr Randle If you take the plan, I will give you my word that it will give you all the aooommodation, and you will not be asked for £ 1000, Chairman I hope if we have a building oommittce we shall have Mr Randle upon it. Mr Randle: It is beoause I was a member of the committee that I drew up this plan. Chairman: This new plan has taken 118 by surprise: I understood it was to oost JE700 or £800, but when I come here I find it doubled at onoo, It ia rather an alarming matter. Mr Massy I should propose myself that a sum not exceeding j61003 be applied for the purposes of a new Infirmary, carrying out the plan of Mr Randle. Mr Palmer Exclusive of furnishing. Chairman That is an important question—whether you limit the amount to the buildiug, or to tbe building and the fittings. It was here stated that j616.50 was invested in the Fund!, and £) 80 in the Saving's Bank. Rev G. T. Horn How much do you propose to raise by subscriptions f Mr Prtlmer: it will be open to the connty. Mr J. Brown: I really must say that you are esti- mlltins the liborallty of Haverfordwest at a very low point. The other day we had a bazaar for tho Wes- lcyan Sohool, and had no external help. I don't think we had any help from the town out of our own t'ody, and we raised £2:;0 under tho moat unfavourable circumstances. The weather was wet, and the Free- masons h"d their entertainment at the same time. If we canvas Haverfordwest alone wo fbould get a L'rgc sum wf money towards the building. I shall be h.ippy to put my name down for £ 10 10«, ih-Hrown: Hear, btar; twitt put down £10 10*, MrJ. Brown: J hope you will give more, sir: I have a large tamlly, bat it is giving once for all for a new building. I beg to say that my offer is condi- tional pon our trying to raise hysubsoriptiona what may be necessary beyond tho £850. Rev. F. Foster: I shall bo happy to give £11 1013 for a now buildiag. The Rev. ti. Horn wa3 understood to offer a like amonnt. Mr 8. Green I will join Mr Brown, and give £1010". Mr Rulo Owen: I dnn't see that it is accessary to lay out so large a sum of meney, I think it is possible to have a handsome building for loss than £1500. Mr Green We could get up tbo whole amount by subscription if fairly started. Chairman: If we say that such a sum should bo granted to the committee out of tho reserve fund, it will not tie up their hands, if they nseot with the wonderful liberality represented. According to my experience, 1 don't find money given so readily as represented. I may be wrong, but what we have to deoide is the amount to be taken from our stock. I oan tell you that you will get enough money to build tbe Intil wary, but to keep it up will be more difficult. A new building appeals to the imagination, but when you have to oollact tho annual subscriptions to main- tain it, tho picturesque effeot i8 withdrawn. I find people unwilling to continue annual subscriptions. Mr Palmer: With regard to the Chairman's obser- vations as to the subscriptions, being likely to fall off, I would say that this is the 13th annual meeting, and the support to the institution has increased until we have £1600 in the funds. We have altogether some- thing like £2000, and I think we may look with conn- denoe to the future. If you do build at all, 1 hope we shall have a building worthy of the oounty of Pem- broke and Haverfordwest. Colonel Peel: I propose that the committoe be granted .El.OO. My reason is this: tho Corporation who possess the land have behaved very handsomely in giving ns a certain portion of the ground outside the building, and 1 think it is due to the town that there should b. a handsome erection there. ChnirmaJII: Yeu will find a difficulty In getting annual subscriptions. That was the case, I believe, at Carmarthen, The invested fund is to my mind more valuable than an offer ofjMO: you must remember that a thousand) pounds represents 30 annual subscri- bers. I dare say you will get money for the building: but will you get money to keep it up. Dr. Brown I have not the slightest doubt about it. I havonofe ir of failing. Chairman The demands on the county are increasing in all direotion*. Dr. Brown Tenby and Pembroke will not interfere with us. Chairman: It has taken off £5 5s. Dr Brown At Tenby it has almust broken down they have only one medical officer. Mr Harvey: 1 propose thatjg850be granted. I am one of the Secretaries, and of coune I know bow the money comes, and I think we ought to retain as mush of our principal as we can. Mr Randle I beg to seoond that; A division took plaoe all to the amount to be ex- pended. There voted for a grant of JE1000 ;—Mr J. Bowen, Mr C. P. Phillips, Dr. Brawn, Mr Palmer, Col. Peel, and Mr W. Owen.—6. For a grant of £ 860—Mr Higgon, Mr Green, Mr J. Brown, Mr Randle, Mr Harvey, Rev. G. Horn, and the ROT. F. Foster.—7. The following resolution was then enterti on the books That the plans be submitted to the Building eommittee, and that they be empowered to expend a su:n not exceeding JEMO, to be taken from the invested funds belonging to the Infirmary, for the purpose of converting the building in :8t. Thomas Green, lately used as a Lunatic Asylum, to an Infirmary. The f. 1 owing persons to form the committe., viz., Messrs. T. Randle, S. Green, Geo. Palmer, Wm. Owen, John Brown, Wm. Davies, R. H. Harvey, 1. D. Brown, JM. Uowon. Five to form a quorum." Mr Palmar suggosted that the money in the funds might bo invested with bettor advantage on good security. lie mentioned the Haverfordwest Gas Bonds, for which tho ratesble property of the town would be the security. The Chairman said that the Three per cents, were legal security, while tho Gas was not. After some conversation the following resolution was passed —" That it is desirable that the invested funds belonging to the Infirmary should be placed on legal security, which will bear a better interest than that now proeuied, and that a committee consisting of Messrs. George Palmer, R."H. Harvey, and John Brown, be appointed to consider the matter and report to thllt Trustees." llr 8. Green mentioned tbat the members of the Amateur llistrionio Society would probably give an entertainment at the Masonio Hall iu aid of the building fund of the Infirmary. A vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman for his able conduot in the chair. The Chairman, in acknowledging the vote, thanked the meeting for recognising his services. They had but one objoot in view the only difference being in opinion. Some did not feel quite so confident as others, and wished to act peihaps with a little more caution. He did not say who was right or who was wrong, but he did not think in what they baa done they had at all crippled their hands to any extent. The meeting then broke up.

MANOKBIER. TESTIMONIAL TO MRS. ROBERT GREENISH. On Wednesday the 3rd inst., the Rev.J. II Lamb, vicar, and the Church Choir met a Glanymor, the resilience of Mrs Greenish, for the purpose of presenting her with a testimonial in appreciation of her unremitting exertions in training the choir to its present state of efficiency, and in acknowledgment of her gratuitous ser- vices towards conducting the church music. The unanimous thanks of the choir were con- veyed to her for the valuable instruction they have received, assuring her of the great j er- sonal regard in which she was held by them and the inhabitants generally. rJ1lp' testimonial consisted of a Silver Ink- stand and Church services, ordered expressly from London, Engraved on thQ Inkstand L— Presented to Mrs Robert Greenish, by the Members of the Choir and Parishioners of Manorbier—January, 1872." The following address was read by the Vicar:— It was in November, 1865, more than six years ago, that you kindly undertook the super- intendence of the music in our parish church. In those days We had only an harmonium as an accompaniment to the voices of the choir since then, owing to the kindness and liberality of Mr Greenish the harmonium has been replaced by an organ. All those who value, and there- fore, take an interest in the services of our church, know well how important it is that those por- tions which are sung should be eonducted with good taste and a competent kno pledge of music and we can all bear witness to the great im- provement which has taken place in the musical parts of our services, since the time whea you first undertook its control. "In order to show our appreciation of this good work which you have done for our parish, we, the members of the choir, and many others I of the congregation, beg your acceptance of this s small Inkstand and Church Services. There is only one subject connected with this presenta- tion, which is one of regret to the givers, and that is the smallness, so far as the intrinsic value is concerned, of this testimonial which we present. We know, however, that it will not be viewed in this light, but that it will be accepted, as it is given, as a token of that kindly feeling which should, and does exist between the members of the choir, and the congregation and you, who have so long and so kindly superintended the music in our church." On accepting the presentation,- Mrs Greenish responded :—1 beg to thank you most sincerely,—Mr Lamb, the Choir, and those Ladies and Gentlemen who I finfl have contributed towards the testimonial just pre- sented to me. I shall value it not only as a gift, but as a token of the good feeling therein shown towards me. It is very pleasing on my part, to find that my humble services—deficient as they have been, are appreciated by you all; and 1 can assure you, it has always been a labour o? love to me, and a work of pleasure and delight in training you an efficient choir for our church. I must also thank you, as a choir, for the co-operation I have at all times received from you, as my exertions alone would have been perfectly useless without your-assistance. One circumstance I wish to mention. That I am looking forward most anxiously to the ap- pointment of a master for our New School, who will be capable of taking my place at the organ and conducting the music, as I fini the Sabbath- day duties too much for my health in connection' with the weekly practice, which is of first im- portance towards greater improvement. Yet, rest assured, I shall never cease, as long as I am a/esident in the parish, to take the deepest in- terest in the Church choir, and in furthering its future progress and welfare. I, therefore, once more thank you all for your gift. After the presentation the choir partook of wine and cake, provided with Mr. and Mrs. Greenish's usual liberality.

THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN THE…
THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN THE CARMARTHENSHIRE LUNATIC ASYLUM. The adjourned inquest upon Jane White, a pauper lunatic, who died on Thursday last, at the Joint Counties Lunatic Asylum, two days after her admission, was held at the Town Hall, Carmarthen, on Monday, before Mr T. Hughes, coroner. Thomas Jones, said: I am relieving officer for the Upper Llanelly district, and live at Felinfocl, in the parish of Llanelly. Jane White was the wife of David White, Cefngoleu, Llanon, clerk to a colliery. On the 1st inst., David White informed me that his wife was insane and dangerous, and applied to have her removed to the Lunatic Asylum. On the following day I saw her at Cefngoleu, and I then ramoved her to Llanelly in a fly. I took her to Mr Benjamin Thomai, the parish doctor who saw her in the fly, bad about ten minutes' conversation with her, and then signed a certifi- cate that she was insane. I then took her to the Athenrcum, where Mr C. W. Nevill the magistrate, was. He examined her, and also signed the order for her removal. I then took her to the South Wales Railway Station, and accompanied her to Carmarthen to the asylum, where I delivered her to Mr Davies, the assistant medical officer. Before I sttvted I from Cefngoleu I neticcd that site had a bruise On her right cheek. I asked how she got the bruise, and Jane White said she had got it by the children defending themselves when she was beating them. When I got to the asylum I saw that she was bruited on her arms, and had two cuts on the head. I left her at the asylum. She walked in without difficulty. She received none of the bruises or cuts whilst in my charge. She came very quietly, and used no violence. Mary Williams came with me from Cefngoleu to the asylum. Jane White seemed to be well, and did not complain. Rachel Richards, wife of Owen Richards, Llanon, tailor, said: I live close to Cefngoleu. I knew deceased. She had keen unwell fer the past three months, and became insane. She was not violent, but for tht laatfortnightshe had been in the habit of beating her children. I saw her beat the children twice last Thursday week. The children did not beat her in return, nor did she fall when she assaulted them. They used to get out of her way as well as they could. I saw her in the fly, and she had one mark on the face, but I cannot say on which side. I saw no cuts on her. The husband was out at his work on that day. I never saw anyone get greater kindness from her family than she had. 1'he children did nothing to her previous to the last fortnight. David White, husband of deceased, said My wife's mind had been deranged ever since November last, but she was quiet until the last nine days, when she became very violent. Some day in the week before last she tell down and cut her head as she was rushing at her daughter. I can easily understand that she was bruised on the body, for she used to get violent with all the children and fall about the house. Louisa White, daughter of the deceased, said During the last fortnight my mother used to be all day attacking us. We never struck her in return, but used to run away and she usod to knock herself against the furniture. Sho had the cut in her forehead by throwing me down and falling over me upon the fender. We were five children at home, but three were generally at school. I never saw my father struggle with my mother, but he used to take her on his knee to induce her to be quiet. The Coroner briefly addressed the jury upon the evidence, remarking that the only thing to be regretted was that the deceased had not been sent to any asylum moaths ago. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical evidenco, viz., that the deceased died from inflammation of the bowels.
THE MARKETS.

There has been a thin attendance of millers, and the demand for both red and while produce has been very moderate, transactions being confined to the supplying of actual wants.

PEAS—There has not been much demand for peas. FLOUR has been neglected, at last week's prices. METROPOLITAN VATTLB MARKET- MONDAY. There has been a want of animation in the cattle trade to day. The supplies of stock have been more exteae re, and the quality generally has bfeen good. The ehow of beasts from our own grazing districts has been tolerably good, but from Scotland the arrivals have not been heavy. The condition, however, has been satis, factory. The trade has been quiet at about late rates. The best Scots and crosses have made 5". to .5s. 2d. per 81b.

Transactions in all quarters have been confined within very moderate limits, the demand being cenfined to the supply of actual require- ments. On the other hand, holders are not eager to press sales. The imports into London last week coasisted of 4815 bales from New Zealand.
