LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. TEMPERANCE.—We understand that the Rev Thomas Irving White, a deputation from the West of Eng-hmd and South \-Vale, Temperance League, will lecture on Temperance at the Market Hall on Monday evening aext. POLLUTION OF RIVERS.—The Royal CoiBmirsion, over which Mr R. Rawlinson, C.B., presides, held meetings last week at their offices, Victoria Street, Westmin- ster, for the purpose of arranging for the prosecution of inquiries into the condition of rivers in the North of England and in Wales. FAIR.-The annual fair was held on Tuesday, and was well attended. Fat cattle, o! which there was a good supply, sold readily at average rates. For other descrip- tions there was little demand, and the few pales that took place were effected at reduced prices. The supply of sheep was unusually large, and there was scarcely room for the great number which was brought tor sale. The prices, as might be inferred from the extraordinary supply, were very much reduced, and there being a slack demand, a considerable number remained unsold at the close of the fair. The pig fair will be held on Wed- nesday. ..A CCIDENT.-An accident occurred on Monday evening at Cartlett, by which a man named Price was seriouslv injured, and a valuable horse, the property of the Baron <2e Rutzon, of Slebech Hall, was destroyed. The horse had been 'clipped' at the Milfcrd Arms, and Price got on its back to bring it home, when it became very res- tive. The animal, at length, reared up, and fell on its back its head came in contact with the kerb stone, and the violence of the concussion killed it immediately. The rider managed while the animal was foiling to in- cline himself to one side, and his leg only got beneath it. Th- injuries he received are of a serious nature, but we believe no bone was broken. MASIIIAGE REJOICINGS,—In the report which recently appeared in our columns of the rejoicings in honour of the marriage of Mr Isaac Roberts, of Medin's Hill, to Miss Young, of Holloway, a statement was made to the effect that the age of the bride and bridegroom was seventy and seventy-five respectively. We have been requested to state that the age was inaccurately given in ootfa instances, and that the years of which the lady and gentleman have kept chronicle number in each case sixty-five. We also omitted to memtion that the mar- ( nage took place by licence. We may add to our former i account that several friends and neighbours who took < part in the demonstrations were most liberally enter- < tained by Mr Roberts. ( WESLEYAN MISSIONS,—The annual services in con- < section with these missions were held at the Wesleyan i Chapel, on Sunday I.UlG Monday. The Rev E.

The sermons on each occasion were eloquent and im- pressive, and were listened to with deep attention by numerous congregations. The public meeting was held in the chapel on Monday evening, when the ehair was filled by W. Owen, Esq, of Witbybush. The meeting was ably addressed by the deputation, who gave interest- ing accounts of the missionary labours, and also bv other ministers connected with the town and county. Liberal collections were made at the close of the services and public meeting in aid of the missions fund. t LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETy.-The anniversary ser- vices in connection with the Haverfordwest Auxiliary of this society were held at the Tabernacle and Albany chapel in this town, on bunday and Monday week.

HAVERFORDWEST PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Thursday, before the Mayor, John Madocks, Esq., T. Rule Owen, Esq S. Harford, Esq., and James Bowen, Esq. FRAUDULENTLY REMOVING GOODS. John Jones was charged by Mr Stephen Green, with abetting the removal of goods from the Globe Inn, Upper Market-street, to avoid a distress for rent. This case was withdrawn. Elizabeth Thomas, late of the Globe Inn, was charged with removing goods to avoid a distress for rent. The defendant did not appear, John Jones deposed that. he went to tbo Railway Station, and by the direction of the daughter of the defendant, be assisted in the removal ot three bundles into the goods shed. He could not say what the bundles contained: they were tied up, as if they contained clothes. Subsequently he brought one of the bundles back from the goods shed to the Station, at the request of the defendant's daughter. The defendant and her daughter went by train for Bridgend. He could not say what directions were on the hundles. He saw the bundles delivered at the Station from a cart which he had previously seen by the defendant's door. Supt. Cecil deposed that be saw the defendant and the last witness at the Railway Station. Three feather beds and some other articles were moved into the goods shed. He saw the last witness move .one large bundle into the train by the direction of the defendant and her daughter: both talked with Jones about it. The two large bundles, which were in the goods shed, he afterwards saw in Mr Green's store-house. Mr S. Green deposed that the defendant was the yearly tenant of some premises belonging to him in Upper Market-street, known as the Globe Inn. There were arrears and rent due to him at Michaelmas, amounting to £ 15. The bundles contained three feather beds, pillows, and a couple of small pictures, which he valued at £ G. The bundles were opened in the presence of Superin- tendent. Cecil, The Bench ordered the defendant to pay double the tendent. Cecil. The Bench ordered the defendant to pay double the value ot the goods removed-£12 and costs. [ John Llewellyn, of Palmerston Farm, was charged by Mr W. M. Phillips, clerk to the Trustees of the Freemen of Haverfordwest, with removing certain goods to prevent a distress: Thomas Henry Jamell was charged with aiding and abetting the same. Mr J. C. James appeared for the complainant; and Mr J. Price for the defendant. W. M. Phillips deposed: I am agent for the Trustees of the Freemen, and one of my duties as agent is to collect their rents. The defendant, Llewellyn, was a tenant of the Trustees, and there was £ 103 Is due from him as rent at Michaelmas. I asked him for it on several occasions. I did so before Michaelmas, and threatened him with a distress if he did not pay up. I went out. with Charles Thomas, the bailiff, towards Portfield on the 2nd of October. On my way out I met Thomas Henry James, with a horse, cart, and harness. They were the property of John Llewellyn, of Palmerston. I told the bailiff to stop the cart. I was on the right side of the cart, and I went round the other side to look for the name. I could, see nothing. The sign board was covered with mud or ashes. I rubbed it off with my hand, and saw 'John Llewellyn, Palmerston,' on it. The mud was wet There were a few bushes in the cart. Charles Thomas 3eized the horse and cart; and he and I brought them back to Palmerston. I knocked at the door -¡or about quarter of an hour. Charles Thomas got in through one of the windows, and I watched the doors. As soon as Thomas entered at the window, I heard the back door opened. I ran into the fold, and met Llewellyn with a Bible under his arm. I taxed him with removing the goods to defraud the Trustees. He said he could not'help it: he could not raise the money; and what, was he to do. The horse and cart were not there when we were talking. Charles Thomas was present at a part of the conversation. I taxed Llewellin with removing the horse, cart, and harness, I asked him how John James came into possession of the horse and cart. He said he did not know: that he sold them to John John. 1 asked what John John, but I could not get out of him who Juhn John was, t then said that John James had just told us that he [ Llewellin) had bought the cart of him, and had never paid for it, and that he now took the things back. I saw them in possession of Llewellin on the previous Saturday at the bottom of Barn-street. The value of the horse, cart, and harness is £10 to the best of my belief. The cart may be a couple of years old, but it is a good one. Charles Thomas deposed: On the 2nd of this month I accompanied Mr Phillips to Portfield. In Skerryscant Lane we met the cart and horse with the boy there were two thorn bushes in it. We proceeded to Palmerston with the cart; and I levied on them on the premises. I bad a conversation with Llewellin. He said:—'i have got a Bible: I tira not coming back again: you can take that. Llewellin said the cart did not belong to James, but to one John. Llewellin said: 'You can take all: you can have the Bible, MasterCharley I am not coming back again be thankful for what you have got.' The cart and horse are worth X9 or £10. I saw Mr Phillips M?Phvr'rt 'he cart. The mud was wet: nas ^'merston cart, —'just take it r Ac« John.LIewell"J, Palmerston,' was on the cart. Oro.s-examiiied: The name was on a niece of tin It has been altered since. The hoy was bitting on the cart, driving. 1 asked the boy where he brought the cart from, and he said I From Palmerston.' He did not say from his own place under Portfield. He said it was taken from Palmerston, and that hia father said he had not been paid for it. Re-examined It was a dry fine day the mud on the name was wet. The other part of the cart was dry. Mr W. M. Phillips, recalled by Mr Price: I asked the boy where he had the cart. He said it was his father's cart. I said: It is Llevvellin's cart, my boy: I know the horse and cart too well.' He said: 'No indeed: it is father's.' I said: 'You had better get down from there, or you will get yourself into trouble,' I may have asked him where he got the cart from: I don't remember that! ilid, and I will not swear that I did not. I swear he did not tell me that he had the cart from his father's farm. He did not say he brought it from Moory Hali4 By Mr J. C. James; The cart was dry, I delayed putting in the distress in consequence of a proposition I made to me by Llewellin and Parker. Supt. Cecil: I saw a cart in Castle Square on the 3rd of October. It had the name of John James upon it. Charles Thomas remarked it was the same cart as he had met in Skerry Scant. Mr. Price admitted that it was the same horse and cart. This was the case against the defendant. Mr. Price drew the attention of the Bench to the fact that the summons charged the defendants with committing an offence on the 1st of October, when all the evidence referred to transactions on the 2nd. The Clerk said that an error in the date would be no bar in law, but that it might entitle the defendants to an adjournment. Mr. Price having stated the defendant's case, called John James, (the father of the defendant James) who deposed: I am a carpenter, living in Darn-street. Three years ago I sold a ready made cart to John Llewellin for seven guineas. I was never paid for it, and I asked him for the money different times. I met him on the 28th September as I was going out to my place at Moory Hall, adjoining Palmerston, I told him he had made a promise to pay me at Michaelmas for the cart; that the time was come, and asked him what about the cart ?" He said I cannot pay you for it, Mr Jitmes: I have not got the money. Will you take it hack with me." I said "Yes, I will." I asked him what about the wear and tear of It for three years?" He said: I will give you the old mare for it." He brought them to my place on Monday morning before 10 o'clock. On Tuesday my tenant, John John, came in,and asked for the loan of the cart. He used it on Tuesday all day. I wanted it to fetch some corn from Tierson, and I sent my boy for it. I cannot swear that Llewellin told me about the harness: but he told me he would give me the mare for the wear and tear of the cart. Cross-examined: I was not aware that he owed his landlords any money. I was not aware that the day be- fore he had sold a quantity of oats. 1 did not supply him with the harness when I sold him the cart. By the Clerk The mare is about 30 years old. Re-examined: My boy went to Portfield for the cart by my orders. Lettice John, (a tenant of the last witness) deposed that Llewellin brought a cart and horse to Moory Mall for Mr James, and that she used it the day afterwards. When Mr James's son came for it, the harness was in h,.r house on a skew. i John John, the husband of the last witness, deposed that the value of the horse was ten shillings. The cart was worth two pounds, and the harness four shillings. In cross-examination he said he did not buy the cart oft Llewellyn. This concluded the evidence in this case. There being another charge arising out of the same affair, the bench deterred judgment till the other case was concluded. John James was then charged with a similar offence on the same date. Mr J. C. James appeared for the complainant, and Mr Price for the defendant. Mr W. M. Phillips, in addition to the testimony given in the former case, said Charles Thomas and myself were making an inventory of the things in the house at Palmerston, when the defendant rushed in and asked what we meant by taking his horse and cart. I said It is not your horse and cart.' He said they were, and that Llewellin bad the cart from bim, and never paid him for it. He took the horse and cart away. The goods sold amounted to £27. Charles Thomas gave similar testimony, stating that he seized the cart and horse in the fold. He levied on them on the premises. This was the evidence on the part of the complainant. Mr Price remarked, as in the former case, upon the fact that the summons charged the defendant with com- mitting an offence on the 2nd, when the affair-which he contended was perfectly legal—took place on the 28th of September. Thomas Hemy James deposed: On Wednesday, the 2nd of October, my father sent me down after the mare and cart to fetch corn from Tiersou. I brought the cart from Moory Hall. On my way I met Charles Thomas and Mr Phillips. Mr Phillips said Where are you going with the cart: I know where you bad it from: you had it from Palmerston.' I said No I did not,' and was going home when they turned the horse round, and took it and the cart away. Cross-examined: I don't know who put the mud on the cart. There were ashes over the name as if the cart had been used to carry ashes, and some had dropped upon it. They read John Llewellyn's name to me. This was the first time I had used the cart. Mrs John and Mr John John were also examined. They deposed that they knew nothing as to who put the mud over the name on the cart. This concluded the case. The Bench said they were of opinion that there was a bonafide sale of the cart and horse to Mr James, and ac- quitted the defendants. The Bench allowed the costs, including the advocate's fee in one case. John Llewellyn was then charged by Mr W. M. Phillips with fraudulently removing goods to avoid dis- tress for rent. Mr J. C. James appeared for the complainant, and Mr Price for the defendant. Lucy Waters deposed I live in Skerry Scant. The defendant came to our house on the 5th of October be- tween eight and nine o'clock at night. He said he had a few things in Mr Rowlands's shed, and that Mr Row- lands had requested him to move them. He asked us to allow him to put them in our house. We had no ob- jection, as the things had been in Mr Rowland's shed first. The things were removed between nine and ten o'clock at night on the 5th of October to our house. There were a shelf and dresser, an oak skew, part of a four post bed, and one entire post bed, two tables, and an arm chair. I saw a druke churn on Monday night: he and Mrs Llewellin moved it from the premises. There was an old milk pail. The things were in our house from the 5th till Saturday evening last, when I gave them to Mr Cecil. I saw them put into the Town Hall. I think the whole of them are worth 30s. There were about one cwt. of potatoes removed. Cross-examined: I handed the things over to Mr Phillips. W. Waters deposed that be assisted the defendant to remove the goods to his house. There was a churn there which Mrs Llewellin removed. The value of it was about 15s. There was also a brass pan, but he could not tell the value of it. Mr W. M. Phillips deposed that he went, in company with Mr Cecil, to Skerry Scant, and saw Lucy Waters, who took them to her house, and showed them the articles referred to. This was the case for the complainant. Mr Price addressed the Bench in behalf of the defen- dant, remarking that he was quite prepared to admit that a wrong had been committed but he hoped the Bench would bear in mind that the goods had been handed over to the complainant. The Bench found the value of the goods to be £ 3, and fined the defendant X6, double their value. They allowed costs, including the advocate's fee. The amount was ordered to be paid in a fortnight, and in default a distress to issue, and in default of distress, the defendant to be committed to prison for six lunar months. A further charge against the same defendant, for a like offence, was adjourned on the application of the complainant, OBSTRUCTING THE STREETS. Warren John and Charles Davies were charged with obstructing the passage of the footway near the Mariner's on Sunday last. The case was withdrawn against Davies on payment of costs. John was fined 2s 6d and costs, which were ordered to be paid in three weeks. DRUNKENNESS. There were three cases of drunkenness disposed of, in which the defendants were severally convicted, and ordered to pay a fine of 5s and costs.
