LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. COURT-MARTIAL.-At Devonpcrt, on Friday, Samuel William Collier, an engineer, belonging to her Majesty's ship Bevenge, was sentenced by Court-Martial to two years' imprisonment and dismissal from the service with. disgrace, for forging the name of William More, also an engineer of the Revenge, to a bond, and thereby obtain- ing £30 from a loan society. ALBANY CHAPEL.—The usual tea party in connection with the Albany Sunday School took place on Thursday. The children assembled in the afternoon at the Chapel, and marched in procession to a field in the vicinity of Harolristone, where they were supplied with tea and cake. After tea, amusements were got up, in which the chil- dren and their friends engaged with great heartiness and vigour. At nine o'clock the party returned to the Chapel, where they were dismissed. CONCERT.—A concert was given on Monday evening by the Haverfordwest Musical Society, under the direc- tion of Mr W. L. Harding, at Trefgarn Owen, the proceeds of which are to bo applied in aid of the funds of the British School at that place. The entertainment consisted of vocal and instrumental music, and passed off most successfully. The attendance at the concert was numerous, and we believe a goodly sum has been realised in aid of the object for which the entertainment was given. MORAVIAN SUNDAY SCHOOL.—The customary treat to the children of the Moravian Sunday School took place on Wednesday last. The scholars assembled at the schoolroom at one o'clock, and shortly afterwards pro- ceeded to Portfield, accompanied by the Rev J. A. Eberle, the minister of the chapel, and the tea"chers of the school. T here they were joined by several friends, and partook of tea and cake, which were prepared in the Stand belonging to the Haverfordwest Cricket Club. During the afternoon, the children indulged in various amusements, in which they were assisted by Mr Eberle, who, sa on former occasions, exerted himself to promote j the enj 'yment of the little ones and very generously dis- tributed a large quantity of toys amongst them. The com; any numbered nearly .200, of whom upward of 70 were members of the school, the remainder being cctnp' sed of ti:e teachers, parents of the children, and ether persons who feel an interest in the Brethrens' Church. The weather was fortunately fine, and exceed- ingly favourable for the out door amusements, which were varied in character, and gave great satisfaction. The arrangements for providing the refreshments were excellent, and the admirable manner in which the com- fort of the children was attended to by the teachers and their friends is deserving of the highest commenda- tion. RAILWAY PASSENGERS' ASSURANCE SOCIETY.- In the jdvertizement of this company, which appears in another column, it is stated that accidents will happen, and that everyone ought, therefore, to provide against them.' An instance of the truth of this observation has recently come under our notice, which also shows the great use- fulness of the Railwav Passengers' Society. Mr Whieher Davies some weeks ago was struck by a cricket. s ball on one of the fingers of his left band, and received an injury which was at first looked upon as a trifling matter. A few hours after the accident, however, the injury was discovered to be of a very serious character, and the resnlt was he was incapacitated for several weeks from the pursuit of his business. Fortunately, Mr Davies bad, with commendable prudence, insured in the Railway Passengers' Society, and in due course he made his claim for the allowance to which he was entitled, accompanying it with the usual medical proof. The Society without loss of time considered the application, and having been satisfied of its correctness, promptly forwarded to Mr Davies a check for £ 30, being the sum which he had secured by his annual payments to the Society. We draw attention to this circumstance be- cause it shows how an accident, which appears at first of trifling importance, may bring about total disability so far as the conduct of business is concerned, and the ad- vantages of assuring in a Society which quickly en- tertains the applications that are made to it, aud dis- charges it claims with equal promptitude. EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYED.—-On Monday last the clerks in the employ of Messrs. Powell, Mathias, and Evans, solicitors, of this town, were treated by Mr. Mathias to a sumptuous repa9t, at his sea-side residence at Dale. The weather being all that could be desired, they started from Haverfordwest at an early hour, in a break with four horses, accompanied by an able cornet player, and, after a drive through Little Haven, arrived at Dale shortly after nine o'clock, where they were re- ceived by Mr Mathias and his family. After partaking of luncheon, they paid a visit to Saint Ann's Head, where some time was spent in viewing the Light House and scenery. From thence they proceeded to West Dale; and, after a little time on the sands, called on their return at Dale Castle, and were shewn over the house, and grounds. After a walk through Dale Village they returned to Mr Mathias's house, where they were joined by the whole members of the Firm. Dinner being announced, they seated themselves around an ex- cellent repast. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given, the healtbs of Mr Mathias and family were proposed and received with all honours. The afternoon's enjoyment was agreeably enlivened with suitable songs. About five p.m. the whole party started in two boats for a cruise down the httrbour, and spent some time at the fortifications at Dale Point. Returning to Dale, they found the inhabitants in a state of excite- ment consequent upon the arrival in the bay of shoals of mackarel, which came close in shore, so as to be easily caught with the hand. They'joined in the fishing, and afterwards returned to the house, where tea and supper j awaited them; and having partaken of the cup that cheers but not inebriates, the National Anthem was sung, bringing to a close a day pleasantly passed, and one long to be remembered. After giving three hearty cheers for Mr and Mrs Mathias, not forgetting the young ladies of the family, who added so much to the day's enjoyment, they started for Haverfordwest, where they arrived soon after eleven. CRICKET.—A match was played at Tenby on Thursday, between the Haverfordwest and Tenby Clubs, and tor minated in an easy victory for the former, who won in one innings with 11 runs to spare. Ten by scored in its first innings 21 runs, their highest score being 5, and six wickets failing for 0. In thoir second innings, they made 58 runs, 25 of which were contributed by Mr Smyth. The Haverfordwest eleven scored 91 runs in their single innings; the highest score was 21, which was made by MrW. M. Phillips. The following are the details 01 the match .— TENBY. 1st Innings. 2nd Innings W. II. Richards, b Evans 0 c Trindall b Buck- land 4 R. Lock, b Evans 5 b Buckland 6 F. T.

In April, 18G6, she neglected to send her book, and it was not until last June that she sent it; at that time £9 10s had been withdrawn. The book was, in due course, sent back to her, and she found, to her great surprise, that since she had sent it, a further withdrawal of X.3 bad been placed in the book against her account; this sum of X3 was alleged to have been drawn on the Gth of July, ISfitt, and, besides having the signature of the postmaster at Cambridge Street, Pim- lico, against it, it also had the stamp and date of the Cambridge Street office affixed. She and her husband wrote several times to the Post Office on the matter, and saw Mr Weatherdon, the postmaster at Cambridge Street, and on tbe 6th of last July, they received a letter signed' A. Christie Thomson, assistant controller, in which he stated that the entry of the X3 had not been made when the payment was made, and that it she called at the Cambridge Street Po,t Office, she could inspect. the war- rant and notice of withdrawal which had been forwarded to the receiver for that purpose. She accordingly called at the Cambridge Street office, and was shown what pur- ported to be the warrant and notice of withdrawal. Having examined it she pronounced the signature 'Har- riett Pigott' a forgery. Some further correspondence passed, and on July 24 a letter was written, signed A. .Uilliken, controller, as follows: Savings Bank Department, Post Office, July 24, 1867. 'Sir,-In reply to your letter of the 22nd instant, I beg to inform you that your statement as to the amounts depo- sited by your wife is correct, the total beinn £16 10s, but that, in addition to the withdrawal of £4 10s and.£5 mentioned by you, a sum of X3 was withdrawn at the Cambridge Street Post Office, on the Gth of July, and duly entered in the deposit-book by the receiver on that date, and the paid warrant having been inspected by your wife, she admitted that the receipt bears her signature The receiver omitted to enter tbe payment of £"110s in the deposit-book, and the necessary entry therein was made in this department on the 18th of June last, and Mrs Pigott was informed to that effect in my letter of the 21st of June. It has already been explained to your wife personally that, in my letter of the 6th instant, the amount of the withdrawal referred to was incorrectly stated at X3 instead of £ 4 10s.-—I am Sir, your obedient servant, A. MILLIKSN, Controller.' It was untrue about her acknowledging the signature of the receipt, and though she had written several letters no answers have been received. She wished to know how to act. In reply to Mr Arnold, she said her daughter drew the £ 4 10s. mentioned, she being ill. The alleged signature was not hers or her daughter's, and the book had not been out of her possession. The entry of E4 10s. had not the stamp of the Cambridge-street office affixed, but only the Savings Bank department stamp. Besides, there were several erasures in her book. The Post Office had decided against her. Mr Arnold having examined the letter and book ex- pressed his extreme surprise, but told applicant that he found Mr John Tidd Pratt, the revising barrister for savings banks, was the person now to appeal to The case certainly required investigation, and with respect to the alterations and erasures in the deposit-book, he re- marked, It was very improper to tamper with the book in that way, exceedingly improper. Applicant thanked his worship, and withdrew.

DUNGLEDDY PETTY SESSIONS.. These sessions were held at Cross Inn on Friday, before Jas. Higgon, Esq, E. T. Massy. Esq, W. S. Owen, Esq R. D. Acldand, Esq, R. P. Davies, Esq, Rev P.

Clarke with fishing for salmon in the Western Cleddau with a net, the mesh of which was less than two inches in diameter. The defendants admitted the offence. Thorns Palmer was fined 20s and costs, The charge against the son (who was fourteen years of age) was withdrawn The nets were ordered to be forfeited. LIMING A BROOK. John Ileid was charged by Thomas Collins, of Clover Hill, with putting hot lime in a brook to destroy trout. The defendant did not appear; but the charge was admitted on his behalf by his brother. Thomas Collins deposed that he lived at Clover Hill. Between five and six o'clock in the evening of the 13th of July, he saw John Reid in the brook throwing up fish. There was limo in the brook. The defendant begged his pardon, and asked him to say nothing of it. There was some lime on the bank. The defendant took about twenty fish some weighing a quarter of a pound. There were many fish floating on the top of the water. He (complainant) had some of the fish himself. Caleb Watts deposed that he went to the brook the day afterwards, and saw some hundreds of fish dead. He] reckoned fifty in one small pool. It was iwpossible to number all the fish he saw. The Bench fined the defendant X5 and costs. ASSAULT WITH INTENT, &C. John Francis was brought up in custody charged with assaulting Sarah Thomas with intent, &c. The complainant deposed that she was in a part of a wood joining Woodstock on her way home from Wallace, and met the prisoner near the flygate with David Evans. The prisoner placed his hand on her shoulder and said he would go home with her. She told him she did not want him to come. He told Evans to go into the house, and he would be after him In a minute. Evans went away, and she and the prisoner were alone. He went with her half the way home, when he threw her down and attempted to assault her. She hallooed as much as she could. He told her not to halloa, and after a time he let her get up, and she went home by herself. She told her mistress when she went home. It was a moon- light night. She had not known the prisoner previously. Mrs Gibby, of Walton Wood, (the complainant's mistress) deposed that the complainant came home with her hair down. She was trembling and her clothes were dirty. The Bench dismissed the case, and the prisoner was charged with a common assault, to which he pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment with hard labour.

ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Satur- day before O. E. Davies, Esq, A. B. Star buck, Esq, Capt. Child and the Rev P. Phelps. WILFUL DAMAGE. Elizabeth Cozens, of Freystrop, was charged with wilful damage to a colliery by James Cozens. The defendant did not appear. The complainant deposed that the defendant was his aunt, and that she cut down the tackling of two culm pits, and threw them down into the working. The pits were about four fathoms deep. His wife and the defendant had some words, and the defendant revenged upon him by cutting down his tackle. The defendant told him herself that she had done so. The damage was 8s. John Owen deposed that he saw the defendant cut down the tackle with a hatchet, and throw it into the pits. The Bench ordered the defendant to pay 83 damage and costs. CHARGE AGAINST AN INNKEEPER. Stephen Morris, publican, of Rosemarket, was charged by Mr Sturgeon,'supervisor of Inland Revenue, with neglecting to make, at the proper time, an entry of malt used in brewing. Mrs Morris, wife of the defendant (who was also pre- sent), said that the entry was not made in proper time. Her little girl mislaid the brewing paper und when she returned from school, she searched for the paper, and, finding the paper, she entered it. The entry ought to have been made on the 9th of Mav, but was not made till the 10th. Mr Sturgeon, in answer to the Bench, said that he went into the house, and found tbelnk wet. Lettice Rees, called by the defendant, deposed that she was working for Mrs Morris on the 8th of May. She asked her (witness) the day of the month, as she wanted to enter the brewing. She searched for the paper, but could not find it. Mrs Morris said that Mr Jones, the excise officer, was at her house on the Friday previous, 6nd the little girl mixed the paper with her school books, not thinking it was of any use. When she came home, the paper was among her books. Mr O. E. Davies asked whether the defendant knew that the officer was coming to her-house. Mrs Morris said she did not know. Mr Sturgeon My visits are always unexpected. The Clerk And sometimes they don't like to see you ? (Laughter.) Mr Sturgeon Sometimes. Mr O. E. Davies asked the defendant why he did not write to the Excise, stating that he could not fiud the paper ? Mrs Morris said she expected the child home from school. The Clerk asked if the defendant had any witness to prove that the little girl found the paper. Lettice Rees said she could prove it, and said the paper was found on the 8 th. The witness not appearing to have understood the question. it was repeated, when she said the paper was found on the day after. Mrs Morris said it was not found on the day afterwards, and the witness then said she could not remember when it was found. Mr Sturgeon I submit, your Worships, that we have proved our case-that the entry was not made at the proper time. Mr O. E. Davies I don't see that there is any attempt at defrauding the revenue here the entry was made after instead of before. Mr Sturgeon: The entry should be made 24 hours before brewing. Mr O. E. Davies Strictly speaking, you are correct; but I don't think there is any evidence cf unfair dealing. I think this is straining a case too far. It is a clear omission but it does not appear she did it with intent to defraud. Mr Sturgeon You think then, sir, there is no offence committed. Mr O. E. Davies I ask you do you really press this case ? Mr Sturgeon I am instructed to do so, sir. The defendant has made. an application to the commissioners to compromise the matter, but they declined to listen to him. They leave the case in the hands of your Wor- ships. Mr O. E. Davies Do they leave it to the discretion of the Bench ? Mr Sturgeon Yes. Captain Child: Our decision will then be final. Mr Sturgeon If you decide against us, we have the option of appealing. Capt. Child Then they don't leave it to the discre- tion of the magistrates ? The Clerk: They are not bound by your decision, sir. Captain Child I think that is rather Jesuitical. The defendant handed iri to the Bench the reply he had received from the Commissioners, and Mr Sturgeon stated that the defendant had been previously convicted and had paid a penalty of £ 5. Rev P. Phelps This is such a very nice case, that I think wo arefacting fairly by giving her the benefit of the doubt this time. That is my opinion at all events. Mr Starbuck I should like to give her the benefit of the doubt if we can. Mr 0. E. Davies: The opinion of the Bench is that we ought to give her the benefit of the doubt. Mr Sturgeon You think there is no offence com- mitted ? Mr O. E. Davies We think there is no intention to defraud. The case was then dismissed. Mr Sturgeon served notice of appeal against the decision on the magistrates beford the risir.g of the Court. CHARGE OF USING THREATS. Margaret Eoscn, of Milford, was charged with using threats towards William Lloyd. The defendant denied the charge. The complainant deposed that he bad been lodging with the defendant, and she had retained his tools and goods on account of rent which she said was due to her. He denied be owed her so much as she claimed, and she had refused him admittance, telling him that if he dared to enter her house, she would cut off his legs. He wa £ an old man, and was now reduced in circumstances and the defendant, taking advantage of his affliction and poverty, had stolen his handkerchiefs, and worn out one of his blankets. He had a memorial stone which he intended to place at the grave of his wife as soon aa he had money to pay the fees, and the son of the defendant dashed it to pieces. It was worth £3. Refused ad. mittance to his lodging, he was compelled to seek shelter in a shed, and as his tools were withheld by the de- fendant, he could not work. The defendant said she was quite willing to give up the complainant's property, if he paid iJero the mcneV which was due to her. She had not prevented his en- tering the house. The Bench said that if the case were pressed, they .should bo compelled to bind over the defendant to keep the peace, and suggested that they should allow Mr Starbuck, in' his private capacity, to settle the dispute between them. Boih parties consented to abide by Mr Starbuck'a de" cision, and the case was adjourned for a fortnight to give an opportunity for settling it. Martha Llewellyn, of Johnston Kilns, was charged with using thrsaU towards Jane Osren, of the same place. The complainant' deposed that the defendant threw" stones at her, one of which stiuck her dress. The Bench dismissed She case, ordering each party to pay her own costs. o
