CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. To the Editor of the lJsk Observer." Pontypool, August 31, 1857. SIR,-I was much pleased when reading the remarks you made respecting intoxicating drinks being allowed at the late party at Raglan Castle. I was present on the occasion, and was highly delighted with the manner in which the tea, &c. was conducted, and think great credit is due to the managers. Nothing seemed to mar the comfort of any visitor, but on the contrary, every thing would have passed off pleasantly, had it not been for the grievance you spoke of. As I understand the party is to be he held annually, I would recommend the members of the association to allow nothing but harmless beverage. I can assure them, by so doing they will ensure a number of persons who were disgusted at the sights they witnessed on the last occasion. I am not an advocate for the entire abolition of intoxicating liquor- far from it; but I think on an occasion of that sort, it ought not to be introduced, as, I regret to say, there are always some amongst such an assembly who know not how to use it, but rather abuse it. Yours, &c., A SUBSCRIBER.

USK.
USK. CRICKET.—Usk v. Pontypool.-A. match will be played on the U sk ground, on Wednesday next, between eleven of each of the above clubs. The players in this match will be limited to resi- dent members of each club. ODD WoMENS' SOCIETY.-It is satisfactory to learn that this newly formed society, in Usk, is progressing very favourably. Upwards of thirty members have been already initiated, and at the next lodge night, on Wednesday, the 9th instant, it is ex- pected, that that number will be augmented by the entrance of nearly twenty others USE LOCAL AUTHORITY.—A Meeting of the Nuisances' Removal Committee met at the Town Hall, on Tuesday last Present Mr. J. H. Clark, chairman; Mr. Thomas Dunn, Mr. James Parker, Mr. Richard Roberts, and Mr. Charles Stockham. The Inspector attended, and reported that the small pox had made its appearance in the town, but no serious case had yet occurred. He had visited the lodging houses in Middle-street, and found them clean and wholesome inside, but in the back part found only one closet between three houses, (which three houses had accommodated 89 lodgers, besides the tenants, during the week), the soil running out to an uncovered pool in the garden. Two other lodging houses in the same street he had also visited, and found 67 persons had been lodged there during the week, and the nuisance same as in the other case. Several other cases of nuisance, arising from pigstyes and foul drains were reported, most of which had been remedied after giving the tenants notice to do so. The Chairman called the attention of the Committee to the walk by the river side to the railway station, which would probably be now called much into requisition, as affording the nearest way for the inhabitants of the lower part of the town to reach the new station. Mrs. Reece had commenced widening and improving the pathway between her property and the river, but the filth deposited under the first arch of the bridge was a great nuisance, and would prevent in a great measure that pleasant walk being used, unless means were adopted for preventing the continuance of filth being deposited there. Some discussion then ensued on the subject, and it was decided, that means should be adopted to do away with the nuisance. It was ordered, that notice be sent to the landlords of the lodging h 'uses in Middle-street, requesting that proper accommodation be provided for the tenants. Ordered That notice be sent to the landlady of certain houses on the Twyn, adjoining the Railway Tavern, to provide necessary ac- commodations for the tenants. Ordered That two notice boards be provided, one to be fixed up near the bridge, warning persons not to commit nuisances, and the other near Porthycarne turnpike. Ordered: That the Inspector examine and ascertain what drains of an improper kind empty themselves into the sewer in Bridge-street. Ordered: That the Chairman issue notices to remove such nuisances arising from drains, as may require immediate attention, on the same being reported by the Inspector.
RAGLAN.
RAGLAN. RAILWAY BRANCII.It is stated, that the Directors have given the conractors, Messrs. Richards, Giles and Gaskell, instructions to commence 11 branch line from the Raglan station to the village of Raglan, which is nearly a mile distant. If this branch be car- ried out, it will be a great boon to the public and to the inhabi- tants of Raglan.
PONTYPOOL.
PONTYPOOL. TESTIMONIAL.—Stephen Yernon, Esq., having for the last 29 years filled the responsible situation of Manager of the Bank in this town, and having been recently appointed to the same office in Newport, the inhabitants of the former town on his leaving, immediately commenced a subscription for the purpose of pre- senting that gentleman with a testimonial, as a token of the re3- pect entertained for him, and a sum amounting to upwards of JE120 was soon raised. The testimonial consists of an elegantly engraved silver coffee-pot, an elegantly engraved medallion silver tea-pot, with sugar basin and cream-jug to match a very hand- some neatly chased silver waiter, with 12 king's pattern silver tea-spoons and sugar tongs, the whole fitted in a French polished oak chest, brass bound, and lined with green cloth. The in- scription which is neatly engraved on the coffee-pot, tea-pot and and waiter runs as follows.—" This Testimonial, consisting of a Tea service and Salver, is presented to Stephen Yernon, Esq, by his friends at Pontypool and its neighbourhood, on the occasion of his retirement from the management of the Pontypool branch of the West of England Bank, as a token of their personal regard and esteem, as well as their just appreciation of his private worth and public usefulness amongst them during a period of 29 years, August 1857. Mr. Golding of Pontypool, who supplied the ar- ticles has given the greatest satisfaction. They were exhibited in his window during the past week for the inspection of the in- habitants. The presentation will be private. APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS.—On Thursday last the guardians attended at the workhouse, for the purpose of electing a master and matron, and schoolmistress for the workhouse, and two relieving officers for the Pontypool and Panteague districts. Fourteen applicant for the situation of master forwarded their testimonials, many of which spoke most highly of the characters of the applicants. After mature consideration, it was decided to appoint Mr. Alfred Hawkins and his wife to the situations of master and matron. Mr. Hawkins has acted as clerk in the county house of correction, at Usk, for nearly 4 years, and his and his wife's conduct, during their residence in Usk, has been most praiseworthy. Mr. Hawkins is retiring and unas- suming in manner, devoid of that tyrrany to inferiors, and sycophancy to superiors, for which many in office are noted. There is no doubt but the selection will give satisfaction to all parties. There were six candidates for the situation of schoolmistress, and Miss Mary Ann Price of Abersychan, has been elected. Thirty-two applicants sent in their testimo- nials for the relieving officers situations, six of whom have been selected for consideration, and further enquiries. CRICKET—N. A. & H. R. ELEVEN V.

MONMOUTH.
MONMOUTH. DEATH BY DROWNING.-On Friday sennight, the only boy of Mr. Robert Tippins, of Court Robert farm, came to his death by drowning, whilst bathing in the river Monnow.

An inquest was held on the following Monday, when the above facts were adduced in evidence, and a verdict of Accidental Death returned. >

ABERGAVENNY.
ABERGAVENNY. THE, WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The last week's fine weather has brought our wheat harvest in this neighbourhood to a close, and not in the remembrance of the eldest inhabitant has there been known a more beautiful season, not only for the fineness of the wheat, but also for the abundance of the crops, which are, at the present time, housed in the finest condition. The only grain out at the present time is a few fields of barley and oats, and should another week of the present weather permit, the harvest will be brought to a close in this locality. We are sorry to say the second crop of potatoes is greatly injured by the disease, but we trust that the late crop will prove better, although it is at present doubtful. ABERGAVENNY—TUESDAY.—The market of this day was a brisk one. Fruit and vegetables in abundance, at a reasonable price. The butter and poultry department was well supplied, as was also the beast, sheep, and pig market. The display of cattle was superior to what has been witnessed for months past, but the sale was dull. Fat beasts were worth about 7d., and sheep about 6fd. per pound (sink the offal). Pigs a little cheaper. Ducks 5s., and fowls 3s. 6d. per couple. Geese at the rate of 9d., and fresh butter averaged 17d. per lb. Potatoes from 4s. to 8s. the sack. Filberts 6d. the lb. All prime joints of beef, mutton, lamb, and veal Sd. per pound Flour 8s. 8d. per bushel. The quartern loaf 6d. The quotation of wheat this week is 56s. 6fd. the imperial quarter. Partridges 3s. the brace.

!PONTYPOOL PETTY SESSIONS,…
PONTYPOOL PETTY SESSIONS, Saturday, August 29. [Before FRED. LEVICK and C. H. WILLIAMS, Esqrs.] ASSAULT.—George Lovedon was charged with assaulting and beating Ellen, his wife, on the 13th of July, and with deserting her so as to compel her to become chargeable to the parish. Mr. A. Edwards appeared for the defendant. Since the time of the assault the com- plainant had been living with her husband on very good terms, and the magistrates, upon the representation of the attorney, advised the withdrawal of the charge of assault, which was acceded to. The charge of refusing to maintain his wife was then gone into. Complainant stated that her husband had taken her money, and then refused to support her. She had been in the workhouse since the previous Tues- day. Mr. A. Edwards contended that the defendant was not liable to be called upon to maintain her, as she had been guilty of unbecoming and depraved conduct, having on the 2nd of July, absconded from. home with 98 and some articles, and accompanied a man named David Lovedon to London, where they lived together as man and wife. David Lewis proved to having seen indecent conduct take place between David Lovedon and defendant's wife, and letters were produced to confirm her improper conduct while in London.-The bench declined to make any order. CRUMLIN.-Thomas Dodd, beer-house keeper, was charged with allowing drinking in his house, an Sunday afternoon, the 23rd instant. The police officer proved that about 30 persons were found on the premises. Mr. Alexander Edwards, for the defendant, contended that the individuals were travellers, who had come by train to see the viaduct. The policeman said the door was open for anyone to enter. Mr. A. Edwards remarked that the defendant was placed in a difficult position, and perhaps the bench would define what a traveller was. The bench observed that it was for the defendant to prove that the persons were travellers, and he must exercise a certain discretion in admitting them. It was the aim of the bench to put a stop to Sunday drinking. No proof was before them of the people being travellers, and a small fine, as a warning, would be inflicted-namely, 20s. and costs. PONTYPOOL—AN INCORRIGIBLE.—Mary Doyle was charged with being drunk, and;itiwas represented to the bench, that she had ap- peared in the court twice before, and once was committed for default of sureties. The defendant, crying, said she acknowledged being trouble- some to the gentlemen, but she was not drunk from drink, but through trouble. Her daughter was Ellen Lovedon, the complainant in the previous ease. -Ordered to find two sureties in £10, for six months, o r one month's imprisonment. ABERSYCHAN.-Mary Powell was charged with committing a tres- pass upon the property of Thomas Neate. The parties were neighbours. and the defendant threw a bucket full of water on a fire lighted in the oven by the complainant, which extinguished it.—Defendant ordered to pay costs. PONTYPOOL.—Frederick Bailey was charged with assaulting David Powell, a little boy. Very conflicting evidence was given.-Case dismissed. PONTNEWYNYDD.—Richard Allsop was charged with being drunk.— Ordered to pay 6s. 6d. costs. ABERSYCHAN.—Thomas Parfitt was charged with assaulting David Williams. The assault arose out of a dispute whilst at work.—Allowed to settle the matter. V ARTEG.-John Jones pleaded guilty to assaulting Richard James. -To pay 20s. including costs. s

Railway, made an application to the sitting magistrate to grant the privilege of swearing in six constables, to prevent persons from walking on the railway line, and to prevent- accidents. The request was complied with. The names of the con- stables sworn were as follows:-Charles Mead, Grosmont, ganger; George Brooks, Joseph Smith, Abraham Meads, James Randall, and John Buckingham, all belonging to the line. DRUNKENNESS.—An elderly man, of the name of Samuel Bufn, was charged by P. C. Jones with being drunk in the market place, on Tuesday last, and making a noise by stating that he had, lost his money, and accusing persons of robbing him. The complainant took the prisoner into custody, and on searching him at the lock-up the money which he said he had lost, was found on his person (7s 6d.) The magistrate, after some few remarks, discharged the prisoner on his paying costs, 6s. 6d. The old man willingly paid the expences, assuring the court that it was the first time he had ever been in such a place, and he would take good care it should be the last. The old man left the court quite delighted with being so leniently dealt with.

-THE USK FISHERY CASE.
THE USK FISHERY CASE. To the Editor of the "Usk Observer." SIR-In the recent fishery case, Stretton and others v_ Phillips, the' Judge refused to receive in evidence the record in a former cause, at the suit of the Lessor plaintiffs, against two persons of the names of Willetts and Lucas, as being REs INTER ALIOS ACTA. Undoubtedly this was so held by the Court of King's Bench when Mr. Justice Cole. ridge pronounced the Judgment of that court in Lady Wenman's case, but I venture, respectfully, to question the soundness of that judgment. The fact of verbally warning off other persons is certainly provable, and was proved in at least forty instances on the late trial. But that is quite as much INTER ALios as was the record in question, and 1 urf » ly if merely verbal warning and acquiescence are evidence, A FORT OBL a record of proceedings and trial after deliberate investiggtioll, aacl defence should.be so according to COMMON SENSE. ■
