HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY COURT. This Court was held on Wednesday last before his Honour Judge Terrel. The undisputed cases, which are by far the most numerons, foradjudioation, weredisposed of by the Registrar, Mr Lloyd, in his usual bland and "happy style. The disputed cases, which were two in number were heard before the learned judge himself. Mr William Roberts of fancredson, v. Mr David Morris, of Letterson. The first was what was termed the Bull Case'' which arose in the first instance out of an encoun ter between the Newton Bull," and the coun- tryman, the latter coming out of the battle not scatheless, but very much bruised and bloody" and as the several masters of the biped and quadruped constituted themselves the champion of their respective properties, they instead of following the bad example set them by those who commenced the row reo sorted to the more peaceful and honourable mode of settling their disputes so much in favor with the present government of Great Britain, and re- ferred the matter to his Honor, who, after hear- iug both sides of the question, and all that was to be said by the advocates in support of their view, considered that the bull was wrong, and that the owner was answerable for the injury sus- tained iu consequence of that wrong. The facts of the case as deposed to by the several witnesses who were examined, were these: On the evening of Sunday the 10th of August last, one John Davies, who at the time was a servant to Mr W. T. Roberts, of Tancredstou, was proceeding along the Newton road to his master's residence on his wav from Chapel, when he met a bull, the pro- perty of defendant, who rents the farm of Newton West, which knocked him down. Hnd trampled upon and bruised him very much. Davies wus, in consequence of the injury he received, confined to his bed for some weeks, and for the loss which he sustained by being in this manner deprived of the services of his servant. Mr Roberts brought an action against Mr Vforris as the owner of the bull. That the man was injured by the bull dii not appear to be disputed, but 'that the bull wa? savu^e, or that Mr Morris kuow of it wna denied. A great many witnesses were examined on both sides, and after hearing them :he .'udgs held that the bull was savage, ami that Mr Morris knew it, and he awarded £1.3 damages, and it being in his opinion a case which required professional skill, auve costs on the higher scale. Mr Price appeared fur the plaintiff II and Mr John for the defendant. William (iviffitus, of i ishguard, v. John D. Harriet, of Hescoujbti, Hdiir ^ewport.—This was) an action brought b/ Mr Griffiths, against Mr) Htrries for £ 20 being one year'j rent of two pieces of laud, rented by the latcer of the former. The defendant admitted £2G to be due, and paid that amount into Court, but disputed the re- mainder. The Judge however, after hearing the j plaintiff and defendant and reading some docu* mentar) evidence which was handed in, held that the defendant was liable for the whole amount sued for, and gave judgment for £ 30 and co-ts. Mr Price appeared for plaintiff, and Mr Mathias, of the firm of Powell, Mathia& and Evans for defendant.

HAVERFORDWEST RIFLE ASSOCIATION. The annual prize meeting of the Haverfordwest Volunteers took place ou Monday, Tuesday, Wed- nesday, and Thursday at the Rifle Range at Har- roldstone. The programme contained a number of prizes, including two silver cups, one presented by M rs Philipps of Picton Castle, and the other by Mrs Scourtield, of Williamstou. Special prizes were also given by Mr Scourfield, M.P. LordKensington, M-P., and Col Peel. The wea- ther was very favourable, and some excellent scores were made. Private Bishop, in one com- petition, made the highest possible score of 20 —five bull's eyes-at the 500 yards range, but he unfortunately aimed one shot at the wrong I target, and lost the value of his hit: four bull's eyes and a centre were also made by Corp Thomp* son at the same distance. The shooting at 600 yards was also excellent and the scoring through- out the meeting proved that the volunteers knew well how to use the weapon with which they were armed. In the absence of Col Peel, the duties of Umpire w< re performed by Capt Baird and Capt Lewes, adjutant of the battalion. The post of secretary was ably tilled by Mr J. R. Phillips, who has been connected with the association for many years, and performed his difficult task in a most admirable manner. The following are the details of the several competitions — A Prizeof 1;19, by the Association; withj65 added by Lord Kensington.

The following letters from Messrs Aldermen Reea and Owen tendering their resignation of the offioe of Alderman, were read :— Spring Gardens, Haverfordwest, 13th Oot., 1873. Doar Sir,—In oonseqaence of my severe affliction I have made ap my mind to resign my post as Al- derman of this town, and I beg you will communi- cate my resignation to the Town Council at their next meeting to enable them to appoint my successor without any delay. Den Sir, yours truly, WM. BEES. Ww. John, Eoq., Town Clerk, Haverfordwest. Withybuab, Haverfordwest, Oet. 14th, 1873. Dear Mr Mayor,—Will yoa kindly oonvey to your Town Council my thanks for the wish so kindly ex- pressed by them, that I should withdraw the re- signation, which some months sinoe I felt it my duty to tenJer them. I do not think that it is any longer in my power to give to my offioe in the Couuoll the attention it deserves' May I ask you to express to the members of the Council individually, my high appreciation of the friendly feeling they have been kind enough to ex- press towards me, and the deep 1 egret with which I sever my long connection with them and resign an offiae which 1 have held for so many years. To the Members ofyour body, who have sat with me at the Corporate Board, My thanks are due for the generous support I have sflwsys received from them, :in my efforts to serve the interests of th* town, and for the dignity of Alderman within the Counoil, WITA which they have so long honoured me. To my fellow-townsmen, who first elected M« many years ago to represent their interests, and who at eaoh succeeding vacancy have supported me by their votes, I tender my warmest thanks. I shall always remember with pride the fact that I was on eVt ry occasion returned by the almost unanimous voioeof the electors. I shall always be ready to promote to the utmost of my powor anything that may contribute to the wel- fare of the town with which I have been 00 long and so closely connected. My services, without the Coundilj will still be at its disposal, and I shall ever chorish the warm in- terest in the prosperity of Haverfordwest, that has guided my aotions in an offioe which I have held for more than half a lifetime, and which I now re- luctantly resign. With a sinoere trust that yon may all long con- tinue in the faithful discharge of your pablic duties, I bid to ODe and all of my old friends and fellow- oounoillors a regretful farewell. I am, dear Mr Mayor, Very sinoerely youra, V „ WILLIAM OW«N,< Joseph ThomaB, Esq. It TFAFJ crderod that euoh resignation be aooordingly accepted. It is ordered tfiilt fife Town Clerk do oonvey to Mr Wm Reos the expression ot sfneerg regret entertained by this Council at the severe and Zong protracted ill- ness from which Mr Bees has suffered, AND whiob has ultimately obliged him to resign the seat in this Counoil which since the year 1835 he has continously occupied, first as a Councillor, and subsequently from the year 1844, as an Alderman 01 this B >rongb. In aooepting Mr Rees'S resignation the Caunoil desire to reoord their sense of the punctuality, energy, and efficiency with which Mr Bees invariably discharged his duties as a member of this Board, and of the loss which the Borough has sustained by bis retire- ment from an offioe which he has so long filled with honour to himself and advantage to his native town. A similar order was made in reference to Mr Alderman Owen on the receipt of a letter tendering his resignation in May last, of which the following is a copy, It is resolved that this meeting have reoeived with deep regret a letter tendering the resignation of Mr Alderman Owen, who has been an active and usefal member of this body for more than 36 years, and whilst they deeply sympathise with him in his present illness they venture to express the strong desire they feel that although he is for the present unable to attend to his Municipal duties he may soon be restored to health, and that be will withdrav hia sesignation in the hope that the Town at large may for some years yet obtain a oontinuanoe of his much valued service3 in this Council.

MILFORD. 11 HARVEST THAKK*<J!VINO.—A harvest thanks- J! giving service was held at Steynton on Wednos- day evening last. The church was effectually lighted for the occa-don by means of improvised standards supporting tripods of candles, and was most tastefully decorated by the ladies of the congregation, assisted by the Rev Mr Gibbon, tho respected curate of the parish, to whom too much credit cannot be given for inaugurating and carry- ing out the idea of the service which we believe to be the tirstofthe kind ever held at Steynton Church. Notwithstanding the darkness of the night the church was well filled, there being a very unusually large congregation, thus testifying to the interest taken in the church by the parishioners, and which cannot have failed to be gratifying to Mr Gibbon. When all worked so earnestly it would be invidious to call attention to any particular design or portion of the decorations, which were entirely floral, with a beautifully arranged dis- play of choice fruits, in addition to sheaves of wheat, barley, and oats on the Commuuion Table, but judging from the generally expressed feeling of admiration, all did their work well and artisti- cally, and produced a most wonderful and plea sing change in the appearance of the otherwise^ anything but most pleasing of the Parish Churches of Pembrokeshire. In these days of progress in church matters, when the restoration of old churches ia the rule rather than, the exception it is a matter of surprise to many that so large and wealthy a parish as Stcynton is, should allow their church to remain in its present state of decay and discomfort without makiug some effort to repair or restore it. The prayers on Wednes' day evening were read by Mr Gibbon (the vicar Canon Thomas at present being in residence at St David's) and an appropriate sermon preached by the Rev Jackion Taylor, of Freystrop, after which a collection was made in aid of the funds of the Haverfordwest Infirmary. The musical portion of the service including the c'hatnting of the Psalms and an Anthem reflected gre"t credit on the choir who evidently benefitted by their connection with the Choral Union, which lately held its festival in Haverfordwost, thus, in this instance, shewing the benefit of such institutions.

—— TENBY FALL or A Botst AT TI^HBY.—The pine end of a large house in course cit ereotion on th>\ Es- planade, Tenby, fell on Saturday evening, luckily without doing injury to any one. The house was being built for Mr Charles Smith Allen, and was nearly ready to receive the roof There was a strong gale blowing at the time, which, with the recent rainj was no doubt the cause of the a cci dent.

R.A, eldest son of Mr Arthur Owen, of Urigadier-hill, Kuncld. London, to Mirtha Sophia, eldest daughter of the late Admiral Goorgo Lloyd, of Efoaufort House, Tenby. Tho ceremony was performed in the parish ohurch, in the presence of a large ooncourse of spec- tators, by the ROT William Morgan Davies Berrington, rector of Nolton and vicar of Hooh, uncle of the bride, assisted by the Rev C. M. Phelps, senior curato of Tenby. The bride was attended by four bridesmaids — Miss Louisa Lloyd, Miss Kate Brown, Miss Stokes, and Miss G. Lloyd, and the groomsmen were Mr Arthur Owen, Dr Brown, 9th Regiment, and Mr Moore, R.N. The bride was attired in an elegant dress of rioh white satin, trimmed with fine Honiton laoe, and bouilonne of tulle, garniture of orange bios* 80ms, myrtle and stepbanotis, &c., wreath and bouquet. to correspond, with tulle veil and pearl ornaments.

The elegance of the whole party as they swept up the broad nave of the churoh was much admired, the gentlemen in military costume add' ing muoh to the oileet. After the ceremony, the company returned to Beaufort House, when a sump* tuous dejeuner was served to a large number ofguetta, <*nd the happy couple left the town about eleven o'olock, arnidat tho ringing of a merry peal from St Mary's Church.

TENBY WATER SUPPLY. IMPORTANT GOVERNMENT INQUIRY. The Corporation of Tenby, being the sanitary authority for the borough, having applied to the Looal Government Board for sanction to borrow £ 10,000 for works of water supply, an inquiry n* opened at the Town Hall on Tnesday before Mr hobert Morgan, the inspector, appointed to hold the inquiry. The scheme proposed to be carried out was the Lady-well, for which the following estimate bad been prepared :—Carrying the water to Tenby, £4,700; new street Mains, £1,800 repair of reser- voir, £2,000 total, £8,500 tbualeaving £1,500 for contingencies. Several letters were read by tho Town Clerk rela- tive to the proposed inquiry. The Commissioner said that he had visited the sites of the proposed works, and was now prepared to hear evidence. Mr Charles Allen Baid that in the year 1870 the Corporation took ap the que stion ola water supply very energetically, aud engaged Messrs Shelford and Robinson, of Westminster, to report upon the best means of supplying the town with wat«r. They did report on four schemes, viz.: —The Water-wynch, the St. Florence, Jbe Lady- well, and the adit. Mr Robinson reoommended the adit, from its beiug the cheapest and also the beat. There being a deficiency of funds, he (Mr Allen) advanced money to drive the adit, and as yet continued to do so. The adit was now driven 506 yards, and there are 384 yards yet to drive before it emerged into the opposite hill. Mr Robinson was very doubtful that the now from the Lady Well was, and reoommended that before it was carried out it should be gauged for a sum- mer. This had not been done, as it was only partly ganged this summer. The flow from the adit is now nearly 35.000 galls, per day. He, therefore, asked that the application should be deferred, for if the adit oame up to his expectations they would not want to spend J6800 on the Lady- well. Mr Henry Forde went at some length into the question of the adit, condemning it as not having borne out the statement made by Mr Allen months ago, and not likely to bear them out in future. Ro. contended that the adit was highly objeotionabie every expense incurred in it was illegal from tho faot that the oontrrot was let without having been put up to public contract. Mr Alderman Jenkins spoke in favour of the adit. Mr Councillor Chater said that the adit soheme had been condemned by every practioal engineer. He wished to know why it was that the fl, >w from the adit had diminished between the year 1872 and 1873. Mr Alexander Waters, who is engaged in driving the adit, said that 596 yards were at proseut driven. There were three different springs between the end of the adit and the hill where it would emerge. He ganged two of these springs, and found the flow 85,000 gals, daily; the yield 01 the adit is at present four gallons in 10 seconds. Cross-examined by Mr Forde I have furnished Mr Allen from' time to time with reports on the adit. 8,000 gallons was the total yielded by the Lady-well it a dry season. Mr Cobb, of Brecon, who appeared for the railway Company, wan of opinion that the Bupply from the railway was absorbed by the railway. Mr White maintained that the railway oom. pany did not use more than 10,000 gallons per day.

The gathering ground is 100 aorep, and in May last 40,000 gallons per day was running to waste. Mr Rogers was in favour of the adit soheme; while Mr. R. L. Gordon, as tho proposer of the resolu- tion iu the Town Council to borrow the money, said that the motion included the payment of the adit to Mr Allen.

AFFRAY UKTWEEN SAILMIA AND TIIU POMCK. — On Monday wrek David Fi^erald, a Chief Petty Officer in her Majesty's service, was locked up on a chiirge of assault alleged to have been com- mittvd upon Mr Superintendent Thomas. 0,1 the following day, Monday, Fitzgerald was t,ken before two magistrates and remanded till Satur- day last, bail being accepted.

Mr W O Hului appeared to proiecute, and Mr Pur y, 0f :.r" Pembroke-dock, was engaged for the defence. < Mr Superintendent Thomas had so far recovered to be present and give evidence. Tho evi- dence of Dr SUlr as to the injuriea Thomas received was also taken. M. Parry admitted the offence, but urged that Fi'z^ernld was not aware that he struck a Police-officer at all, as lie care- fully avoided striking any one wearing the uili- form of the police, but having been struck himself first, he did strike some one, and that some one might have been the Suppr- intcndent, as he was there in plain clolhox. tMtz^erald was an excetL-nt officer, had been greatly promoted for his good conduct and abilities, and he hoped the magistrates would con- sider a tine would meet the case. Mr llulm said the Superintendent did not wish the prisoner to he sent to prison, but he hoped the Bench would inflict such a fine as would tend to prevent another soch breach of the peace. The magistrates con' sulted for a short time, and fined Fitzgerald £5. and £ 3 costs.

PEMBROKE. NIOITT POACHING.— Benjamin Gwyther,butcher If Monkton, was charged ht the county Police Court, 011 Saturday Ust, with being found between twelve and one the previous night, in company with four others, poaching on lands in the ocCu*' pntion of Mr George Williams, firmer. The! ooachers had a bag which contained hare*, and a net, and carried large, thick sticks, The keepers were slouetl, and some of the portcherg stood with iticks over the head of a watcher named Canton, WHO positively swore that Gwyther was one of the men. Gwyther produced evidence which alleged that he wns nearly dead drunk, and unable to stand, and further that he did not leave the neighbourhood of his house from about nine o'clock until half past eleven, and that when he went home he went to bed, and did not rise until nine on Sunday morning. The magistrates con su'tod for A time, and decided to dismiss the case at the same time they added that although Canton swore to the prisoner, yet it might ha mis- taken id-ntity, and they would give Gwyther the benefit of tho doubt. The decision was received with applause.

NARBERTH. NARBERTH PETTY SSSSIONS.—These sessions were held on the 9th iust., before Messrs Lewis and Owen. John R. Jermin, East Williamston v* John Hollywell, a tramp, for stealing apples. Committed far to days-Po C. John Morris v. James Lewis, Carew, for drunkenne-s. Fined 5c. and costa. The licence of the Fountain lIQad, St Issells, was transferred from MrCadwallader to the present occupier.—The adjourned licence of Miners' Arms, Begelly, was refused. The annual meeting in connection with the London Missionary Society was held on the 7th inst., at the labernacle Chapel. The chair was very ably filled by II. Price, Esq., Surgeon, who in a brief but neat speech, opened the proceedings. Addressed tfcrg delivered by the Rev Mr James, C'irvan, Dr. DavieS", Pembroke Dock, and the dep- utation, Mr Moffat. Tbs audience was large and attentive, and the collections fUaoiinted to more than last year. It gives us great pleasure to bear from other gatherings of a similar nature, lil dif. fcreut parts of the county, that the contributions to the good cause were liberal but it is far more satisfactory to have the exact amount ren' dered, and then leave the result to the public for their opinion ns to the liberality. This town of late has not stood so high as it might or ought to have done, but as a proof that there is some good in Narberth, the collections for this cause alone amounted to £43 10s.

HUNDRED AND FIFTEENTH DAY. The trial was resumed on Tuesday morning. Jean Suil. a Dane, who spoke Eoglish very well, said I first knew the Osprey in 1852. I joined her in New Orleans as steward. We sailed from New York for Melbourne in the tatter part of February, 1854, We crossed the Line in April. Q Now when off the Coast of Brazil did aDytbil attract your attention ?—*& Yes; early in the morng ing we saw fl boat. We had had a rough night of squalls and rain. We were close on to the wind, and we could not pick the boat up on that tack. We tamed and saw a spar in the boat, with a red shirt attached. The boat was two miles off when we saw the tignal. We must have been in 19 or 20 south lattitude, and about 400 milea from the coast. Q, Well, you got up to the boat at last ?—A. Yes. Q. Who did you find in the boat ?—A. Well, six men. They were in a delirious oondition, all but two who were paddling; four were entirely in- sensible. In the boat was a backet half full of bis- cuits soaked with salt water; they had no fresh water we took them up by rope. A Juror asked to be supplied with the page of the evidence given by the defendant about the alleged rescue. Mr Matthews supplied the reference, and the jury turned to the page. Witness said attention was directed to one of the four men he was not a sailor; they washed them and snpplied them with food. Captain Bennett ordered witness to talut the man who was not a sailor ioto the cabin. Witness put him in his own berth and kept him there until they arrived in Mel- bourne early in July. Dr Kenealy Did you notioe anything about this young man ? Witness: Yes, I did. I had to wash him every day. He was a small made mm, with dark brown hair, big eyebrows, and he had a habit of moving his forehead. His conversation with me was generally in Spanish and some French. The Chief Justice Which mostly ? Witnefs Oh most English. Q. Why you have just sworn he spoke gener ally in Spanish.' What do you mean ?-A. We spoke a mixture, but most English. Dr Kenealy Was this man ill ?—A. Oh he was delirious all the way. He was not sane when w«' left him at Melbourne. (Laupbter.) He was de ranged. Ho oould not remember anything. He had a sunstroke. I asked him his name, and he said 1 oould call him what I liked. We then called them April fools. (Sensation.) The Chief Jastioe Am I to understand you as fooU? y°n men 70n had re80Ued April Witness: Yes, but I afterwards asked him his name, and he said it was 'Rogers.' We called him liogers after that. The Chief Justice: Rogers with the' s.' Witness Yes. He told me he had been in the B'-a^dsand wont on board a vessel named the Bella m Rio, and that they were bound for Auierioa with a cargo of coffee. I asked him' Did you run away bankrupt., (Ltiighter.) I got no answer to that. I always believed he was a runaway bankrupt. He said tbe veAsel was oat only a few days when they found she was sinking. They tlion gft out the boats. TlIat was all he told me. J washed him often, and saw a brown mark on his left -ode. I also noticed a cut on the back of his head. Sometimes be would coma on deck partly nn- drupeed. I out his hair. He had no beard, "only a little hair about Lis mouth. I noticed he had one of Iiii growing inwards. We arrived at William- fltown, of! Melbourne, early iu the morning. As Roon itS we had our breakfast, a boat was got out, and Roger, the captain, pilot, and four of the Osprey crew wsmfc ou bhove. That was on a Saturday morning I atu -.nro. Thj Bella men remained on board and heJpyd to make the vessel snug. In the afternoon I and two of the B-dla men, nmu«Mj Jarvin and Lewis ttnd two cf the Osprey crew, Anderton and M'C r.hy went on shore on the Bella's boat. -¡ Chief Jastioe: Oh, then you had' pioked that ul>- Witness Yea, wo landed and went upr the rat dippings.. The Chief Justice Left the boat, did ,1ftIII, her chance ? Witness Yes. That was tbe same da; wards lost sight of all the men. 1 came • last J ily.
