SCHOOL TREAT.—On Monday the 9th inst the children of the National Infant and New Hedges Schools, to the number of betwesn five and six hundred, were treated to their annual school feast. In the afternoon they as- sembled at the National School, where, under the excel- lent management of Mr R. Mathias and the other mas- ters and teachers they were marshalled in procession. The long line of children was studded with banners of the most chaste design, containing appropriate mottoes; the flags and banners, were most lavish in numbers and tasteful in ornament evidently the work in many cases of ladies having natural and educated talents for amateur decoration. The procession was headed by the town band1 as it wended its way to the parish church where a full choral service was held, the Rev — Cleuther intoning the prayers, the responses from Tallis being made by the children, led by the voluntary choirs of the parish church and St Mary's Chapel. A short appropriate sermon or acjdresa having been given by the rector the Rev G. Huntingdon, the children re- formed and matched to the rectory where the prepara- tions had been made for the feast with generous profusion. The usual prizes were awarded at the conclusion of tea, after which, amusements of all kinds were entered into with the greatest spirit, and when the children teachers separated, it was with the feeling that the pre" sent was about the most enjoyable of all the school feasts they had taken part in.

Patron the Rev J. H A. Philipps, of Picton Castle. PRENDERGAST CHURCH.—We understand that the Bazaar in aid of the rebuilding of Prendergast church, which was postponed last year in consequence of the lamented death of the late member for the County, will if rf <J during the Hunt week in November next, in the Market Hall, in this town. FAIR.—The annual fair was held on Tuesday. There was a numerous attendance. Superior beasts. of whi-h fw nethT8 a r^e S?.pply' Sold r8adily afc late rates; but for other qnalities there was little demand. Therp was a large supply of sheep, the sale of which wasene™l £ h' "xiie rSf ,in, ,the Prices obtained at late iaus. iiie pig fair will be held to-day. nrpX ,TRACr, S°CIETy—Smr)OHS are announced to oe preached m aid of this valuable socie:y, on Sun- intiie Bethesda and Tabernacle Chapels, rri3« /v?WlVln ? morning and evening, by the Rev E. a ',J?'i. deputation.

Addresses are to be delivered by the deputation and oiner ministers, when some very interesting facts will be given by the Rev E. Crisp. TALBBNNY CHURCH, SAINT BMDE'a BAY.—We under- stand that it has been resolved to repair this ancient coerch. For this purpose an appeal is about to be made in the first instance to the landowners and parishioners for pecuniary aid; and then to the public generally. We believe that the walls and roof are substantial and in good: condition but the floor, pulpit, and prayer desk, together with the pews, are so decayed by age as to necessitate immediate restoration, in order to the decent eeiebration of Divine Service. The seats will be open and free. v DEBTS DUE IN RESPECT OF BEER, &C.. IRRECOVERA- BLE.—Section 4 of the County Courts Acts Amendment Act, which will come into operation next year, enacts—' No action shall henceforth be brought or be maintainable in any court to recover any debt or sum of money alleged to be due in respect of the sale of any ale, poner, beer, Cifler, or perry, which after the commencement of this act was consumed on the premises where sold or supplied, or in respect of any money or goods lent or supplied, or ot any security given for, in or towards the obtaining of any such ale, porter, beer, cider, or perry.' GAME CERTIFICATES,- The guardians of the inland revenue have issued notices signifying their intention to prosecute all persons detected in killing game without being farst authorised by a game certificate. The penalty for taking or killing game without a licence is £ 20 in every case, and a surcharge of double duty. The reduced price of a certificate is £3, for the whole season, and persons so qualified are to be subject to the law of tres- pass and the stipulated periods prescribed for killing the various kind of game. It is illegal to kill game on a Sun- day, and at any time before sunrise or after sunset. BLACK. CATTLE IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY The adjourned Siting of this Society was held at the Castle Hotel, on Saturday. Mr W Owen presided. The Secretary, Mr Morgan Evans, of Mabws, reported that the subscriptions and donations received amounted to X27 10s. Some con- versation took place in reference to the cost of publishic the herd book, in the course of which it was stated that the work might be got out for £50. It was resolved to prepare the necessary forms to contain particulars as to pedigree and colour of the animals to be entered in the herd book, and Mr R. H. Harvey and the Secretary were appointed a committee for that purpose. Picrox CASTLE.—On Wednesday, the Rev J. H. A. Philippe, Vicar of Saint Mary's Church, Haverfordwest, invited a number of his poor female communicants to spend the afternoon at the Castle. A good strong cup of tea was of course, the favourite beverage for such a party, and this was provided to perfection, as well as a splendid supply of bread and butter, cake, hot rolls buns, &c. iir Philipps, the Rev Mr Ault, the curate' and another gentleman, a friend of Mr Philipps's, who va3 staying at the Castle, also took tea with the old ladies, and chatted with them in the most friendly man- uei. They were also shown all over the gardens and grounds, and were much delighted with a sight of the flower*, which are there found in the greatest perfection. They were each presented with a buneh of grapes before leaving in the evening. The party returned home about eight o'clock, and will not soon forget what they saw, heard, and tasted on their visit to Picton Castle. DEATH OF MR. PROPERT.—The public of South Wales generally, and of Cardiganshire in particular, will hear with deep regret of the death of Mr Propert, which me- lancholy event took piace on the 8th inst, at his residence, 6, New Cavendish-street, Portland-place. Mr Propert had risen to a most honourable eminence 'from the ranks' of the people. His own struggles in early life, and the L.mcuhies with which he bad to contend in acquiring the knowledge which was necessary to qualify him for tiie medical profession in which he subsequently rose to a position of considerable celebrity, no doubt suggested to his mind the idea of thut benevolent and useful institution with the fame of which bis own name m:.¡.-t be for ever associated. The objects of the Royal BfecUea.! Uenevolont College, at Epsom, are to provide an asylum for meùical men, who from various causes, may liai e sunk into poverty, and for the widows of medical men who are in reduced circumstances; to supply a good education to.the orphan children of medical men; and to give annuities or occasionally pecuniary assistance to medical men or their families who may be in want. The i7as projected in 1851, ihougli it bad been often previously thought and talked about by the subjeet of this brief obituary sketch. Its establishment was, in fact, the ruling dream and passion of his existence. The dream was realised with a degree of success wich gave a sort of glory to his later years. There are, at the present time, resident in the college twenty-four pensioners, being aged medical men, or their widows, each of whom is pro- vided with three comfortably furnished rooms, an annual allowance of three and a half tons of coals, and a pension of 921 a year. There are also resident in the college two hundred boys, the sons of medical men, forty of whom, being the foundation scholars, are educated, boarded, clothed, and maintained, entirely at the expense of the Institution, while the remainder are charged .£40 a year each for an education of the highest class, board, washing, use of books, etc, etc. There are some day scholars, who need not necessarily be the sons of medical men. This is a degree of success which those who prepare the foundations of great enterprises do not themselves often live long enough to witness. It must not be imagined, however, that Mr Propert confined either his sympathies, his exertions, or his gifts to this institution. He never forgot Wales. In everything which concerned the welfare of the Principality he always manifested great interest. It is understood that the Welsh charities in the metropolis have been greatly benefitted by his benevolence. His concern for the prosperity of his native county of Cardi- ganshire was constant and profund, and developed itself in the most unostentatious, but at the same time, in the most practical forms. He had considerable property in the county and was particularly interested in the Car- marthen and Cardigan Railway. Nevertheless, Mr Propert's name will be chiefly associated with the estab- lishment whioh, at a cost of upwards of £ 59,000, has been erected under his own unremittingly watchful and unrestrictedly watchful care. Mr Propert lived under the guidance of noble purposes to noble ends. The world he has recently left he did much to benefit and bless. All who knew him loved and respected him, and his name will be long held in tender veneration by a large circle of persons to whom his unobtrusive but active and useful career he played the part of benefactor or of friend. THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION. J. Lindsay Johnston, Esq, barrister-at-law, one of the assistant commissioners appointed by the Boundary Com- missioners under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, attended at the Shire Hall on Thursday for the purpose of enquiring into the boundaries of the Haverfordwest boroughs, with a view to their enlarge- ment, if necessary. Mr Johnston, in opening the proceedings, said This enquiry arises from the Act for amending the Representation of the People, better known as the Reform Act, and by the 14th section the com- missioners or assistant commissioners are required to go down to all the boroughs in England and Wales with a view of ascertaining whether the boundaries should be enlarged, so as (to use the words of the Act) to include withiu the limits of the boroughs all premises which ought, due regard being bad to situation and other local circumstances, to be included therein for the purpose of conferring upon the occupiers thereof the parliamentary franchise for such borough. Notice, which no doubt you have seen, has been given that those persons who desire to give any information or who wish to make any statement, will be heard here to-day. I don't think I need state anything further except that our power is, ^ecl8sayr,' t0- enlar8e existing limits of the boiough Ihere is no power of decreasing the limits; and if any gentleman has come here to make any observations in reference to decreasing the existing limits, I am sorry I shall not be able to attend to them. Has the borough increased? The Mayor: Not in population. Mr George Phillips, of Dew-street: I think, from the general feeling existing in the town, there is no necessitv for an extension of the present limits of the borough, There are no suburban residences or anything of that sort, which should be admitted: those residences have rather decreased with us than increased, and there is nothing calling for an extension of our limits. Mr Johnston: Are the limits of the parliamentary borough and the municipal borough the same? Mr Phillips: They are the same. The Mayor: There are one or two houses which several people have represented to me as desirable to be included, and I think it would be an advantage it they were included. Mr Johnston: Will vou mention them? Mayor: There are some in Cartlett, as you come into the town: the line divides the railway station. Mr Johnston: How many houses are there in the part you refer to? Mayor: I think about ten: they are in Uzmaston parish. Mr George Phillips: It is generally understood that the existing limits of the borough are well enough de- fined, and for the sake of seven or eight cottages, I don't think it would be worth disturbing an arrangement which is at present satisfactory. Mr Johnston: What description of houses are they? Mr Phillips: The rent is X5 or X6 a year. The Mayor: £8. Mr Phi Ilips Not £ 3 for those houses. Mr Johnston: What is the occupation of the people who inhabit them? Mr Phillips: Railway porters, and shoemakers. Mr Johnston Is there any suggestion about Prender- gast, ? Mr Phillips: There is nothing in Prendergast. If you will not think me troublesome, I would mention that at t,he last registration court a dispute arose whether a bouse on the line in Prendergast was within the limits or not. The house is known as Philip White's house, and it was the first time the objection was taken. It was always understood that the line was drawn to the north end, which would include the house, and not to the west end, but the revising barrister decided that the house was not in the borough. Mr George Thomas, of Dew-street: The municipal borough runs beyond the house by about four yards. Mr S. Green: I don't see that there would be any advantage in extending the boundary in Cartlett: if any alterations were made, the railway line should be the boundary, and that would not exclude any house at present in the borough. Mr Johnston: Do you know anything respecting Narberth or Fiahguard ? o f & Mr John James, of St. Martin's Crescent, said that houses in Fishguard had very much depreciated in value within the last 10 years. The Mayor said that the trade of Narberth was falliri" off considerably since the construction of the line of railway. Mr Green said that, from his Own experience, Narberth was advancing of late, and he had no doubt it would it would continue to do so, now that the Tenby line bad been opened to it. J Mr John James snggested an alteration of the boundary line at Slade Lane, by which about nine houses would be included in the borough. Mr Johnston made a note of the different suggestions and the business terminated.
HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY COURT..
HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY COURT.. This court was held at the Shire Hall on Wednesday, before H. R. Bagshawe, Esq., Judge. Thomas Berry, of Camrose, and his wife, Elizabeth Berry, v. James Adams, executor of the will of the late William Adams, of Camrose. This was an equity case, which had been before the Court on several occasions. v, iistructed by Air Price, appeared for the plaintiffs; arid Mr W.V.James for the defendant. It appeared from the plaint that the deceased James Adams, darit made a wiI1> bequeathing to the defen tnrp'her oJinf executor, all his leasehold lands, his daughter F?i^» £ and chatte!8) and directing that w the pJajntiff in w.a ,n arimlnstpr oil lt'1 ^e defendant, who sssaufea",o Of £ 7 annually. The pkintiffIZJ ^°JeCe7e th<; sum had not been paid, and was now fo« « annui,y the marriage in 1850. The plaintiff m ^e,,tlme of account should be taken of the DersLiFi^?', testator; that a sufficient sum to ensure th8 ° £ 7 should be invested in £ 3 per cent comols" nr'^h0 sufficient trust funds; that the arrears of the a™ should be ascertained, and paid by the defendant plaintiff ilis Honour had decide! that the annuity^as chargeable upon the leasehold property left to the defen- dant, which was stated to be worth £ 480, but a question bad been raised that the husband, who was decided to have dominion over the annuity, had agreed to sell it and upon that His Honour had directed enquiry to he made. The agreement it was alleged had been lost, and Mr Lascelles contended that there was not sufficient proof of the loss of the document to enable the defendant to give secondary evidence. It was also asserted that there was no proof of it having been stamped and signed.. Mr James contended that it was not necessary the docu- ment should be signed, and that the onus of proving that it was not stamped lay upon the other side. His Honour ruled that there was no evidence of the agreement having been executed by the parties sought to be charged. His Honour also overruled the objection of Mr James that the onus of proving the loss of the document rested on the party making the objection, and remarked that it was clear the Court must look to the stamping of agreements for the sake of the revenue. His Honour decided, too, against Mr James on the point raised by him that it was not necessary for an agreement to be signed by either party, and that there was not sufficient proof of the loss of the document to entitle him to give secondary evidence of it. His Honour directed an issue to be tried by a jury whe- ther the alleged agreement was or was not duly executed by the party sought to be charged by it, and, secondly, if executed, whether the same was or was not duly stamped. The advocates on both sides said it was not necessary to have a jury on the matter, and His Honour appointed the question to be tried at the October sitting remarking that it was a very proper case to be disposed of out of Court. John Arthur Parry v Henry Bechervaise.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, to recover the sum due on a demand note for j630, of which he was the payee. Mr Williams, (instructed by Mr G. Parry), appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Lascelles, (in- structed by Mr Price) appeared for the defendant. The case was tried before a jury. It appeared from the statement of the Counsel that the note was given to the defendant by one Conchar and others, who were the makers of it. The bill was endorsed over by the defen- dant to one Rowe, who had been in partnership with him, and by Rowe to Mr George Parry, solicitor, of Pembroke Dock, who bad endorsed it over to the plain- tiff, who was the brother of Mr George Parry, and his agent in London. The defendant put in several pleas, denying the endorsement, and alleging that before the action was brought, and while Rowe was the endorsee and lawful holder of the note, he had satisfied and dis- charged it, and that no consideration had been given for it. Mr Rowe and Mr G. Parry were examined in sup- port of the plaintiff's case, and the defendant was called in his own behalf. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant, stating that they did not consider that any consideration was-given for the bill. Mr Williams an- nounced that his client intended to move for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was against the evidence. ) ■R. Parnell and Company v Agnes Phillips.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff's who were flour dealers, residing at Chepstow, to recover £ 31 109, the balance of a bill of exchange accepted by the defendant in favour of the plaintiffs. Mr B. T. Williams, in- structed by Mr W. John, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr Lascelles, (instructed by Mr Price), appeared for the defendant. A jury was sworn in this case. His Honour, after hearing the evidence, non-suited the plaintiff. Henry Walters v Henry Owen.-This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover from the defendant the sum of 19s 6d for damage done to a standing. Mr W. V. James appeared for the defendant, and objected to the jurisdiction of the Court. His Honour said that it was a question affecting the right of standings in the market, and held the objection to be fatal. The case was there- fore struck out. Thomas Evans v. Joseph Thomas.—This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is lessee of the Quay Dues of Haverfordwest, to recovei from the defendant the sum of 13s 6d for keelage and harbour dues. Mr W. V. James appeared for the defendant, and objected to the jurisdiction of the Court. His Honour said he had no power to try questions of right, and ordered the case to be struck out. William Owen, John Morgan, Margaret Jenkins, W. Roberts, and Alfred Stephenson were severally sued by T. T. Jackson, for sums due for coal. The debts were proved by Anthony James, who is employed by the plaintiff, and an order was made in each case for payment of the debt with costs. — (f Callaghan v. J. D. Roverts.-This action bad re- ference to some premises, of which the plaintiff was landlord, and the defendant was the occupier. Mr Price appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr W. V. James for the defendant. Mr James, in answer to the Court, said that tbe tenaney was not properly determined. The Judge said that the plaintiff, who no doubt came from the other side of the water, bad taken upon himself to be his own lawyer, and made a mistake. It was a very common thing, and he (His Honour) had done 80 himself before now. The case waa adjourned until the October court. W. Owen v. Lewis Llewellm.—In this ca"e, which is popularly known as the 'Loveluck Case,' Mr 3. Leader Owen (who appeared for the plaintiff,) applied to His Honor to order the money which had been realised from the sale of certain hay claimed by the plaintiff, to be paid over to him, the defendant having now admitted the claim, and withdrawn from the suit. His Honor ordered the whole of the money to be paid over to the plaintiff, with costs. Mr W. John (who appeared for the defendant) said that the money handed over to the plaintiff would be the sum paid into court—( £ 26 Is Id); the costs of the High Bailiff would be allowed. Judge: The High Bailiff has no right to help himself with other people's money. All I can do is simply to order the money to be paid to the plaintiff. The claimant's claim being admitted, he must take the money, and he must get his costs if he can. It is impossible for the High Bailiff to pay himself out of another person's money. I am very sorry for him if there is any difficulty in the matter. His Honor then ordered the whole amount-£32 10s— to be paid to the claimant. ROOSE PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Satur- day. before O. E. Davies, Esq, A. B. Starbuck, Esq, T. Roberts, Esq, J. P. Jones, Esq, and the Rev P. Phelps. DRUNKENNESS. William Thomas, of Merlin's Bridge, was charged with drunkenness. The case had been adjourned from a previous sessions. The defendant did not appear, and Mr O. IS. Davies stated that he knew he was gone to Carmarthen. P.C. Beynon proved the offence, and the defendant was fined 5s and costs. ALE HOUSE LICENCES. John Bowen, of the Bridge-end Inn, Hakin, applied for a renewal of his license. Sergeant. Carroll objected to the renewal of the license, stating that the house was very badly conducted rows very frequently occurred there, and it was the resort of women of evil repute. The Bench refused to grant the license. 4 STRAYING ON THE HIGHWAY. David Harries, of Quay-street, was charged with allow- ing an ass to stray. The defendant said that he did not own an ass. Police-Constable Williams deposed that he saw the ass in the defendant's possession a short time ago, and that he then told him he had bought it for a small sum. On the day on which the offence was com- mitted, the defendant's son claimed the ass and took it away. The defendant said that the ass belonged to a man who had gone to Swansea. The ass had been grazing in his field, and when he found the owner bad gone away he turned it out. The Bench dismissed the case, suggesting that the police should impound the donkey the next time it was found straying. ASSAULT—MOTHER AND DAUGHTER. Jane John, of the Mountain, in the parish of Camrose was charged with assaulting her mother Joanna John The defendant denied the charge. The complainant deposed that, as she could have no rest at home, she went out on Monday last, and slept at a neighbour's house. On Tuesday she met her husband who told her to go home, and that no one should annoy her. She was going down to the house when the de- fendant came to her and struck her. The defendant also beat her with her (complainant's) clogs which bhe took out of Jer hand The next day, while her husband was away in the field, her daughter beat her, and struck her in the face, causing the injuries which were then visible. In reply to Mr 0. E. Davies, the complainant said that she had not been before the Board of Guardians, but had brought her husband before the magistrates some time ago for assaulting her, and he was sent to prison for twenty-nine days. She was the mother of eleven chil- dren, and her husband joined with her children in annoying her. In cross-examination, the complainant said she pulled the defendant by the hair, when she was struck. Her daughter Maria came in at the time the defendant was beating her, and said Xou are killing mother.' mm J21' Maria John deposed that she did not see the beginning of the row, but she saw her mother holding her sister and both were bleeding, her sister at the month and her mother at the nose. The defendant said that she never struck her mother and that the injury done to her face was caused by her falling against the arm of a chair. The husband was called before the Bench, and in reply to questions, said that his wife had left him for five weeks before the row, and that she went away because of differences with the children. He was sent to jail for giving her a few slaps, and since then her conduct was very much worse than before. She got so angry at times, that he thought she did not know what she was doing. lIe was willing to give her 23 6d a week to live apart, but he would prefer that she should come D^'iand be would be as Sood a husband to her as he could be. Last July she seizred him by the throat, and his neck cloth was cut to release him from her grasp. He had a summons for her for that assault, but he did not wish to punish her; his object in taking out the summons was simply to give him the chance of telling the Bench what her conduct bad been. Mr O. E. Davies asked whether he was willing to allow his wife 3s a week. ° The Husband said he had four children in school now and the profit on his place was only £ 15 a year. He and his family lived on the poorest fare. Mr O. E. Davies said the defendant was well dressed and that the profits must be more than £1c5, or he could not clothe her in that manner. The Husband said his daughter had been away from him for 10 years, and that she had only just returned in consequence of ill health. After some further conversation, the husband said he would allow his wife 3a a week as long as he could pay it. William John, the complainant's son, said he would be quite willing to take his mother to his home if h;s father allowed her 3s a week. In answer to the Bench, he said he was married, and lived at Wolfsdale. The Bench said that it was very much to the son'g credit to take his mother to his home under such cir- cumstances. The Bench fined the defendant 1011 and costs. The fine and costs were paid by the father

^T^BTnryT™" TEN BY RACES. The Tenby races have ever been looked forward to with great interest, not only by the patrons of the turf and lovers of the noble sport of horse-racing, but-by others who look on the meet as a means of social and fashionable 're-union,' attended as it is by the creme de lit creme of the county. Popular as these meetings have hitherto been, we believe that the approaching races will by far eclipse all their predecessors. Already twenty-three horses have been entered for three of the nine events of the two days, and the others are being rapidly filled in Since the last races the come-at-ability' of Tenby has much increased. The Pembroke and Tenby railway will will bring their thousands from Pembroke, Pembroke Dock, Milford, and Haverfordwest, while the racegoin* inhabi- tants of Narberth, Carmarthen, &c, will avail themselves of the line opened to Wbitland, and excursion packets will convey those who are sure of their 'sea legs,' from Llanclly, Pembrey, Swansea, and Ilfracombe. Those who remember the good old times when one half of the course was hot, sandy, and dry as Sahara, and the remainder far above the horse's fetlocks in slush like a Danubian morass, will be agreeably surprised at the present state of the course; the marsh, which has been thoroughly drainad, has now a slight clothing of verdure: is perfectly dry in every part of the course, and in excel- lent running condition, and no gentleman, having a horse, however valuable, would hesitate to let him run on account of the state of the course. Everything is in excellent order, and the last 400 yards will he railed off, and a good stand be erected; in fact everything will be done to make things go off well. The programme altogether is (according to a notice of the meeting in Bell's Life) of the most attractive charac- ter. The committee are anxious to establish a good meeting, and are adding to the various stakes nearly double the amount ever given at Tenby before, and we trust the public will come forward: j beralIy and assist them in their undertaking. Altogether there are nine events to come off, seven flat and two hurdle races. The Stewards Ordinary wiil take place at the Lion Hotel the first day, the Race Oidiuary at the Cobourg Hotel. and a ball at the Royal Assembly Rooms, on the second day Under the stewardship of Colonel the Hon. F Morgan Baron de Ruteen, T. Meyrick, Esq., and E. Laws Esq. we feel sure the meeting will be a success. We here ap- pend the entries that have already been made: 17 for the Tenby Handicap, 13 for the Bush Handicap, and 19 for the Ladies' Plate. TENBY HANDICAP. Mr W. Treen's Duet, 4 yrs Mr P.
