MEKTITFIT POLICE COURT. SATTTBDAY.—(Before J. C. Fowler, Esq.) AN IMPUDSKT TUIEP. Thomas Gibbon, jockle seller, was charged as follows:—John Williams, moulder, said: I live at Mount-street, jrrawen Terrace, Merthyr. On Thursday even- ng last I went to the Lamb public-house in the Grlebeland, and had on my feet a pair of quarter boots. I went to sleep there. "When I awoke I Found that my boots: had been taken off my feet. These are the boots produced. I did not see the {irisoner there.—Jeremiah Brien said: I am a abourer. I was in the Lamb on Thursday evening and saw the prosecutor there sleeping. I also saw the prisoner and another man with a blue Guernsey smock on, unlacing prosecutor's boots. I told them to let him alone. They said, If you don't say anything it will be all right." I went out and left them in the room. I after. wards saw the prisoner and the other boy out- side. They ran away. The other boy had something under his smock. They ran down th e street together. They did not come out through 'the front door. I suppose they must have come out through the back window.—Mrs. Goodman said: I am wife of Joseph Goodman, pawn- broker. I received these boots in pledge from & person who gave his name Thomas Evans. He had a blue Guernsey smock on. He was about the size of the prisoner. The boots are worth 58. now to sell.—P.C. Evan Bees said: Yesterday morning I took prisoner in custody. I told him, You are charged together with another boy with stealing a pair of boots from the Lamb off a man's feet while he was asleep." He said, I was not near the Lamb yesterday." I said, I was told you were." He said, Well, I did not see or touch th6 boots." I received the boots from last witness.—Mr. Fowler said this was a very bad case; the next thing he should expect from prisoner was to find him charged with house-breaking or something similar, for any person committing such an impudent robbery as this he (Mr. Fowler) considered capable of committing any offence, and in order to put a stop to such proceedings as these the sentence upon the prisoner (who having previously pleaded guilty) would be a heavy one—namely, four calendar months with hard labour in Cardiff house of correction. JUVENILE OfPBNDBB. — Mary Davies, aged nine years, was charged with stealing 40lbs of coal, the property of the Dowlais company.— P.S. Hodgson said: On Wednesday evening he saw thj prisoner at Dowlais taking some of the coal off the trams. When she saw hira she threw the coal down and ran away.—Mr. Fowler said he did not wish to commit the prisoner to gaol on account of her age; but if her father (who was in court) was agreeable to pay 10s. fine including the costs he had the option of doing so, instead of having his daughter sent to prison. The father consented to pay the fine, and the prisoner was then liberated. ASSAULT.—Mary Burke was summoned for as- saulting Mr. Ewan-Ferguson at Merthyr, on the 18th inst.—Complainant said he went to the de- fendant's house to look for some money. Some words ensued, whereupon defendant went to the firegrate and caught in a nob of coal, which she threw at complainant, striking him over the eye to the hooe.- Fined 10s. and lis. 6d. costs; in default of payment, she was committed to Cardiff house of correction for fourteen days.

Evan Sees said: I went to this row on Saturday night, accompanied bv complainant; when we got there, defendant jumped at oom- plainant and struck him three or four blows with his fist, and said, "Now Dick. I'll give it thee or thou shalt give it me;" complainant told me to take him into custody; he was not very drunk.- Elizabeth Norby was called for the defence, and her evidence went so far as to attach great blame upon complainant and his wife, in consequence of which Mr. Fowler did not feel justified to inflict any fine upon prisoner.—He was then, together with Maria his wifa, charged with as- saulting P.S. Evan Rees.- Complainant said I had taken the prisoner William in custody on the above charge; he struggled and said, No bloody man shall take me to the station." I ordered P.C. Melhuish to lay hold of him with me; he had only his shirt on, and that was rotten and broke to pieces in the struggle; his wife then came up with another woman; they laid hold of him and Eushed me back, and said, "You shant take im." I §«id to them "let loose" many times they refused; I then drew my staff and said I would use violence if they did not; we struggled again the women then reeled back. Maria got a tin kettle full of ashes and struck me on the head the ashes went into my eyes and all over my face; I could not see; I told P.C. Melhuish to go to the station; the prisoner got away and ran into the house and locked the door; when Melhuish returned, I told prisoner to open the door; he said, I will not, and the first man that will come in, I will be the death of bim." He ran upstairs; we got in and followed him upstairs he had a poker in his hand he aimed a blow at me; the poker slipped and went down by my feet; I got hold of him; he was naked to the trousers. When we came out, he put his foot behind me and tripped me down and kicked me on the bead, which cut a gash; my blood ran fast; P.C. Moore came up, and we then got him and his wife to the station.—Mr. Fowler said that the prisoners had committed a very savage assault upon the police, for which they would be fined 9'2 each including coats, in default of pay- ment in a fortnight, to be committed to Cardiff house of correction with hard labour for 21 days each.

I told him, You are no man to go and beat a person with a poker he said, Would you like to have a taste P" I said no, and if he gave it, it would cost him money he then struck me across the head with the poker, and made this hole in it; be also struck me on the back I dont feel much from it now; I did not see him touch the man before he came to me.—P.S. William Thomas said: I appre- hended the prisoner and told him he was charged with wounding John Rees on the head with a poker. He said, Well I did give him a small snip with it, but not half enough. I will give him a taste of it again when I catch him."—Convicted of a common assault, and fined £ 5 including costs. The fine was paid.

MONSTER OPEN-AIR TEA PARTY AT ABERDARE. ON Thursday se'nnight, Messrs- Thomas vViI. Hams. MIU-street, Aberdare, and John and Wm. Williams, Hirwain, entertained Pome 900 or 950 persons to tea in a field at Livvynymoeh, near Hirwain. The guesta were composed of members of the Bands of Hope connected with Horeb Chapel, Ll-vydcoed, and Ebenezer Chapel, Mill. street, together with the attendants at the Sun- day schools of the last-mentioned Chapel and Nebo, Hirwain. Mr. Thomas Williams v.-as the entertainer of the Aberdare portion of the com- pany, and his brothers, Messrs. John and Wm. Williams, entertained all who were from Hir- wain. At half-past two o'clock a procession, comprising Sunday school children, teachers, members of the Band of Hope, &c., was formed opposite Ebenezer, from which place the march to the appointed rendezvous was commenced. Having been joined by a band of friends from Horeb Chapel at Llwydcoed, the precession pro- ceeded uninterruptedly on by way of Gelly Tarw, where the company from Hirwain were met. A union here took place, and the monster proces- sion, headed by the Ebenezer friends, continued its course to Llwynymoch farm, the properiy of Mr. William Williams. Before entering the field in which it was intended to hold/fcke gigantic alfresco tea party, they passed under three arti. ficial arches neatly formed of evergreens and flowers, and surmounted by appropriate mottoes printed on white ground. The first of these was comprised in the simple but charming word— WELCOME the second breathed a patriotic wish—" GOD SAVE THE QUEEN and the third was "CABIAD WLEDD EBENEZEE A KEJBO!" In the field, which was admirably adapted for the occasion, a commodious platform was erected for the accommodation of speakers; over this structure was displayed, in large letters, "UNDEB A BEAWDGAEWCH," and at the top of a towering tree near to it. "SUCCESS TO EDUCATION" flut- tered in the gentle breeze. Arrived at the place of entertainment, the whole party, after some few preliminary arrangements, sat down to regale themselves with that beverage which can boast of the double virtue of being powerful to cheer and not inebriate. About 300 or 400 of the graver portion of the company were accommo- dated with tables, which were neatly laid and admirably served, the remainder refected on the green sward-sitting in ranks of 50 or 60 strong. At this stage of the proceedings the tout ensemble looked picturesque in the extreme-the combined effects of art and nature presenting a scene but rarely excelled in beauty. The glistening sun above, the fresh green grass beneath, the per- fume of sweet wild-flowers borne on the wings of gentle zephyrs, the carroling of birds—each subscribed its grateful quota to one charming wholo. Having feasted to satisfaction, speaking and singing became the order of the day. The Rev. W. Williams, Hirwain, was called to the chair, and the Revs. W. Edwards, A. Matthews, Stephen Davies, &c., &c., addressed the meeting in pertinent speeches. Hearty votes of thanks were accorded the Messrs. Williams, and suit- able replies were made. A similar compliment was paid to the ladies for the excellent arrange- ments made in connection with ^the important department over which they presided. During the whole evening All went merry as a marriage bell," and the monster party broke up" at a season- able hour, each and every member thereof being highly delighted with the proceedings in which it had been their good fortune to take part. The Messrs. Williams have long been famed for their liberality, usefulness, and benevolence and this last kindly act of theirs will add another link to the chain of their charitable doings.

A TRIP TO THE BRECONSHIRE BEACONS FROM ABERDARE. ON Thursday week, by the light of a cheerful sun, five carriages, behind five full-mettled horses, and freighted with a light-hearted score of ladies and gentlemen from this immediate neighbourhood, rambled their way to the foot of the far-famed Beacons. The day WM a royal one-the sun poured down his genimTrays and gladdened all nature; the perfume of the new- mowed hay, and the fragrance of wild-flowers lent a charming redoftSBcy to the flitting breezes which at intervalir crossed the traveller's path and pressed home the conviction to every smoke- sick heart that A day in the country's worth ten in the town The surrounding scenery which marks the pro- gress of the journey is by turns picturesque and romantic, calculated to fascinate and arouse the interest of the antiquarian, geologist or historian. The arrival of the party at the Storey Arms was quickly followed by the dispatch of a substantial repast, and then commenced the journey up the mountain. This was performed in true pic-nie style, the sterner portion of the company burden- ing themselves with the comestibles and he ladies taking care of themselves! After a toil- some walk, lightened only by an occasional laugh or, a cheerful jest, and relieved ever and anon by a contemplation of the increasing grandeur of the scenery, the summit of the huge mound is reached, and now the welkin rings with the hearty hurrahs of the more boisterous mem- bers of the joyous score. After a few short rambles and cursory glances at the surrounding views-a view to which, doubtless, distance lends enchantment"—the tired company seat themselves dow n on the greensward and pro- cped to refresh that portion of the human fabric commonly denominated (irrespective of gender) "the inner man." The repast being over, a dance Oil the mountain-top is indulged in, and what Byron would call flying feet," chase the glowing moments to the excellent music discoursed by an accomplished violinist, whose services Lad been enlisted for the day. In the course of nature the gayest of earthly hours come to a close, and in strict accordance with this principle dancing ceased; the journey down the hill was accomplished and the little inn reached once more in safety. Ah! that way-side inn- built in good old mail coach days, and evidently intended to accommodate more outaida than in, for, whereas the stabling is commodious (and airy), the rooms within are of limited space and ventilation. The refectory, on this occasion, was established in the same small, neat, clean, and old-fashioned parlour in which the writer, some time ago, had the singular good fortune—Pick- wickian in nature—to discover the precise date at which" Anne Price marked her sampler." A room, let him add, in which that fickle genius which is generally supposed to preside over the interior arrangements of a house, has wrought but little change since he made that immortal discovery to which reference has already been made. No; there in all its rustic simplicity was that self-same sampler speakiug as plainly as a sampler could f'ir'ak- JVever distrust thy God For cloth nor bread, While iiiies flourish And the ravens fed. There were the self-same pictures on the wall-- not the Matthew, Mark, Luke aiid John sort of design, but artistic enshrineoients of such senti- ments as Love me, love my dog." Ah there, too, were the old corner-cupboards choked up with miniature silver heirlooms (spoons), china ornaments, and, of course, china tea-things, looking as clean and as smiling as ever. Even the little ornaments of the mantel-shelf remained i ,nnJisturbed-uwh little toy (with everyone of which Heaven alone knows what recollections are associated) was in its wonted place; and, as usual, the majestic basket of sea-weeds—framed and glrzed—frowned down with great pomposity upon the minor matters which decked the stand. Weeds, indeed! Call us not weeds, we aw flowers of the sea; Tor lovely and bright, and gay-tinted are wej And quite independent of sunshine or showors, Then can us not sea-weeds, we are ocean's flowers. Not nursed like the plants of summer parterre, Whore gales are but. sighs ct an evcumg air: Our exquisite, fragile, and delicate fcrnis Are nursed hy the ocean and rocked by the storms. Such, we believe, is the song of the sea weeds, but it we have misrepcrted either samples or iJeti. weeds, we wish the fault to be charged to cur superabounding confidence in a treacherous memory! but, enough. We will not taoz our descriptive powers any further, but suffice it to say that all the arrangements made at this Inn for the special benefit of visitors are characterized by kindness, cleanliness, and rusticity. What mere wc aid reasonable persons require? To renrn to the party. Now they are at tea; presently they are dancing in aa adjfUicnt field, and anon, in high spirits, they are wending their way homewards, evidently delighted with the day's excursion. Tiie journey to and fro was performed with plea- sure and Safety-ct foat which, judging by what we recently heard, some of our Aberdare friends would do well to learn how to. perform before they again leave home for a pie-nie

THE COLLIERS' LOCK-OCT IN SoCTH YORK- SHIRE.—It is believed that the disagreement be- tween the colliers of South Yorkshire and their employers will speedily be settled. At the last meaiing at Doncaster certain propositions were read from Mr. Mitchell, the secretary to the miners' union, and, after some discussion, it was agreed that the men at Mr. Clarke's colliery should resume work at the former rates. With regard to Messrs. Sturges, Paley, and Co., it was agreed, that they should ')e paid the same was agreed, that they should he paid the same prices as the Honeywell and Mount Osborne collieries. At Messrs. Smith, Oarr, and Smith's I ) (I the wages pu'd at Messrs. Cooper's were to be given, and to further test the colliery, it was a screed that five men should be appointed by the masters and five by the men, who should work ten or twelve days to see what retilly could he gained. Thean term3 were to bo submitted to th:< men, and being a sort of compromise, it is generally expected they will be accepted.

TREDEGAR POLICE COURT. WEDNESDAY, AUG. i.Bcjore F. Levick, Esq. Richard Edwards, King's Head, Tredegar, was charged with keeping his house open at 11 o'clock on Sunday last. The Sergeant of Police found three men drinking beer in the house at the time mentioned.Fined 22s. and costs. Bridget Dwyer and Ellen Beecher were charged with stealing coal from the Tredegar Iron Company, on the 7th tilt., from a truck loaded for Newport. P.C. Price caught the two women in the fact.

Bridget Dwyer, after a very noisy defence was ordered to pay Is. costs for the trespass, and there being some doubt of the identity of Beecher, she was discharged.

Mary Ann Hopkins v. Robert Thomas.—Lam guageprovocative of a breach of the peace, on the 30th July, at Tredegar.—Complainant: Tho- mas threw a large stone at me in our yard, and threatened to knock my brains out.—Defendant said he never spoke to complainant, but having no evidence, he was ordered to find sureties to keep the peace.

To pay costs, 13s.

John Williams and Thomas Jones, for manslaughter of William Jones, collier, of Tyr Phil. at the Britannia, on the 31st of July, Rachel Price sworn: I am the wife of David Price, and served the prisoners and deceased with a quart of beer. They were strangers to me, and had their coats off to fight. Defendant said he would fight any man in the house, and the two prisoners said they did not want to fight. Deceased was in beer, but not tipsy. I saw the men going out to fight. I followed, and saw them fighting. I sent for the police. There was no one in the yard but the three men, but witnesses were in the back room. The man died in about five minutes after the police eame.— Abraham Davies: I am a collier at Tredegar. Last night, between five and six, I saw three men going into the yard. Deceased had his coat off'. I never saw them before. I heard no quarrelling, but I fallowed, and saw six rounds After this John Williams fell, and the deceased kicked him on the eye. I then went away, and saw the deceased falling, from what cause I did not see. I saw Jones kick him on the head once after. I helped the police to carry him away. Deceased was insensible, and I thought he was dead. I saw no one try to stop the fight. I saw Williams kick deceased twice after he fell flat on his back. I was not sober myself; I had six or seven pints of beer. He kicked deceased ou the left side of the head. I thought deceased was dead before he repeated the kick. I was drunk at the time.—Richard Edwards I saw deceased and the two prisoners quarrelling in the tap of the Britannia last night, while I was drinking a pint of porter, and the deceased wanted to fight Williams very badly. I did not go to see the fight, but at last I saw Jones holding deceased by the two arms on a lowwpll. Deceased did not struggle. Williams then threw him heavily on his back. Th"n I Raw Williams go up and kick him oa the side of the head. I bad just come from work, and was quite sober. Williams had a bad kick on the eye. The whole affair occupied ten minutes. I believe deceased would not have got over the fail, but he was alive when on the wall. It was not a ]Kiclc.-HanL)ibal Moore: I am a general dealer, and was standing &t my door at a quarter past six last night, when I saw the three men one was stripped, and deceased and another were scuffling w: oh each other, but did not strike. They fell three times, and the last time deceased kicked Williams on the temple, and then ran off to tha back door. Jones then seized deceased, and knocked his head against the wall three or fonr times. Williams then kicked deceased on the head whilst on the ground. Seeing the police arrive, 1 went home. I cannot say whe- ther deceased died from tackier or the knock- ing of his head a^aiust the wall. Jones did not interfere till Vi illiams received a kick.—Thomas Hii], shoemaker, Tredegar: I SfJW Jones holding deceased against the wail and throw him on the ground with gr^at violence, and both prisoners kicked the deceased while on the ground.—T. G-, Anthony, Esq., surgeon I saw deceased on thp table at the Britannia, and was ordered by the coroner to make a post mortem examination. I did so, with the assistance of Dr. Coates, of Sir- ho vy, I found no braises on the body, hut on the ieft side of the head I found a wound :in iaeh in depth. The fact of the blood vessels on the backoffs head being ruptured fully accounts for death. Tho blood had gone into the ppinuj marrow, and caused instant death.—P.O. Henry Pri^hard, Tredegar: On Monday, at six p.m., eeeiag a crowd at the Britannia, I went up, and saw«jdeeea?ed supported by P.O.

He himself was 52 years of age.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON CORN-MARKET, (Monday, July 30).— There were unusually heavy arrivals of wheat, barley, and oats last week, but the other supplies were moderate. The exports were nil. Of English wheat there were 3,252 qrs., of foreign 87,480 qrs. Very few samples appeared this morning from Kent and Essex, some of which sold at previous rates, and all were held for the same, but the demand was small in consequence of the abundance of foreign. There being many buyers of the latter from the country, factors wore under no necessity to reduce quotations. Of country flour there were 14,357 sacks, of foreign 3,672 sacks 9,152 brls. Norfolks were excessively dull, but holder;) with reduced sup- plies refused to take less money. Foreign was also in moderate demand, without change of value. Town prices were unahered. Of British barley the supply was 172 qrs., of foreign 42,293 qrs. Notwithstanding this heavy arrival all descriptions of barley were in fair demand, and prices rather against buyers, granary stocks being very low. The malt trade was dull, with- out quotable change of value. The supply of oats reached to 188,153 qrs., of which 1,277 qrs. were English, and 187,875 qrs. foreign. This unprecedented supply determined many at once to store their cargoes, but where sales were made it was at 6d. to la. per qr. less on Russian and low descriptions fine still being scare were un- altered. Of native beans there were 221 qrs., of foreign 1,083 qrs. There was a steady enquiry at fully former rates for all sorts. Of English peas there were 135 qrs.; of foreign, 4,958 qrs. Trade was quiet, with values unaltered. The linseed supply was 953 qrs. with 965 qrs. exports. The small supplies received of late gave tone to the market; and sellers realized Is. per qr. more money, the value of cakes being maintained. On the seed market little was passing. LONDON PROVISION MAEKET, (Monday July 30).—The arrivals last week from Ireland were 4,519 firkins butter, 1,712 bales bacon and from foreign ports 15,390 casks butter, and 1,786 bales bacon. The Irish butter market still rules very slow, and sales are almost confined to small par- cels of the finest mild sorts, which thelrade takes very cautiously, not having confidence in present prices being maintained. Foreign met a steady sale without change in price. The bacon market ruled firm, and at the close of the week there was more inquiry for prime fresh Waterford, and Is, per cwt. advance obtained; prices range from 68s. to 77s. landed, according to quality, weights &c. LONDON CATTLE-MARKET, (Monday, July 30). -The show of foreign stock was large, but for the most part in very middling condition. From our own grazing district the receipts of beasts fresh up to-day were moderate, and most light in quality. Priae Scots, Southorns, &c,, moved off steadily, at fully last Monday's currency; but all other breeds were a dull inquiry, at barely late rates, aud a clearance was with difficulty effected. From Lincolnshire, JLeicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about 1,760 Short- horns and crosses from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds from Scotland, 11 Scots; and from Ireland 90 oxen, &c. The supply of sheep was much less extensive. Nearly all breeds were in steady, though not to say active, request, at prices equal to this day ae'nnight. We have to report a fair demand for lambs, at full quota- tions. About 250 head came to hand from Ireland. Calves, the supply of which was only moderate, changed hands steadily, at full quotations. There was little business doing in pigs, at late currencies.

STAFFORDSHIRE IRON TRADE. WE have no change in tho trade since our last report. In manufactured iron the demand con- tinues moderate, supplying sufficient orders t > keep the works in full operation: this remark ap- plies to all the iron districts except one or two large works on the who find a difficulty in keeping their extensive rail mills at work. There are however reasons to expect a favourable change in the demand for this kind of iron. Perhaps the makers of bar iron likewise on the hills" are not so well off' for orders as the ma- nufacturers are in other parta of the kingdom. Pig iron is flat and slow of sale and the torpid state of the market is observed iu North and South Staffordshire, Yorkshire, Middiesboro', and ali oth or districts except the Clyde, where Scotch Pigs have improved from 6d to 9d per ton, with a largs business doing. • The official list of prices of Staffordshire finished iron- i8 as follows: Common Staffordshire bars, £ 7 10s., at the works; best bars, £ 810s.; Sheets, £ 9; Doubles, £ 10 10^ Nail sheets, £8 10s.; Latten, £12; boiler plates, R9; beet and best best in proportion; Common rods, £ 7 10s.; Hoops, £ 8 10s.; Gas strip, £8; Canada plated, £12, and all other sorts in proportion. Welch bars, zC5 10a to t5 12s.; rails £ 5 5s. # The return also shews the exports for the first six months of the present as compared the tWIt preceding years. Allowing for tLo alteration in the time allowed for making the entries in June, the total exports Tor the six months are but little less than last year, and about'8 per cent. in excess of 1853. In the exports of iron however this re- mark does not hold good, the six months of 1830 shewing a considerable falling off' as compared with the last year. This is very largely due to she diminished expo't of railway iron, which will not continue to mark the returns, if confidence can be restored in the political world. It is evi- dent from these returns that stocks of iron are. low- in almost everv important foreign market, and this circumstance gives good ground for anticipa- ting an improved demand shortly.—Extracted from Samuel Griffiths's Circular of July 28th Ehbw Vple ODDPEL^owsmp.—On Monday last the mem- bers of the Prosperity Lodge, of th" above- order, held their annual festival. The 2nd Bre- con shir* rifle volunteer band attended. The lodge met the Bt-eufcrt Arm Tnu, rt eleven o'clock, and after possessing, themselves of their i-egjilia, &e,, they were led off under the .enJ.vening strains of sweet music to the English isuptist-^chapel, where the Rev. Brother Emlyn Jones, M.A., delivered a most nopropriate ad- dre?s, based upon the familiar words, Love thy neighbour ns thyself;" prayer being offered, the members again tormed into procession and the,; marched to the residence of Dr. Be van, •Beaufort, where each man received a glass of ah; to &nim::te his drooping spinrs. Tney taen pro- ceeded on their way through the village of Beaufurt, and afterwards retrvaed to the .Lodge, where a capital dinner was waiting them. The ebthheing- removed, the above Rev. gentleman, was called to the chair, anti I'.H. Williams to the vice chnir._ The evening proved, as pleasant and as interesting as couid be desired.

SAVESS ^has just received a very handsome testimonial ftom America. It is a gold medal of size of a crown piece, attached to a ribbon, wiiiii three geld clasps, with the Union Jack hO}!!I!.ed between the first and second clasp. Cn obverse side of the medal is the following in- scription This testimonial to Tom Suyers was presented by a few friends 11l New York, for the gallant and'manly bearing evinced by him while defending Old England." On the other side are tho words "Tom Bayers, champion of England, June, 13G0 OAK trees in the French forests have been, at- tacked this year by a strange disease. They are covered from the top branches to the roots with caterpillars, which form a coating some i-iehr-s thick. In some localities the muuicpai authori- ties have published a notice forbidds-ig children to enter tn? woods. These insects, at the ap- proach of a human being, cover the face, neck and body. Their utiag- in many instances pro- duced /ever. THE following is a v^rbntira copy of a letter received a few days "? £ <>, by a solicitor in the county of Waterford, froiti his clerk in another part of the same county:—"Sir. I am very Pappy to inform you that two murderous assaults were commuted near this town yesterday even- ing, anu that your attendance will be required hers fit the potty sessions to defend the parties in both cases."
