WELSHPOOL. LEGAL.—We observe that Mr W. Shuker Clarke, of this town, successfully passed the intermediate examina- tion, held at the hall of the Incorporated Law Society, Chancery lane, London, on the 1st June last. This would have appeared before, had it not been for the death of Mr Clarke's relative (the late Mr W. P. Yearsley), to whom he was articled. PETTY SESSIONS, TUESDAY JULY 4TFI.-13efore the Mayor (T. Morris, Esq.), and E. T. D. Harrison, Esq. Figheiitg. -Robert Sockett, of Marton, was summoned by P.C. Harris for fighting with John Bebb Richards, on the 19th June.-Sockett appeared in obedience to the summons, but Richards was not present.- The magistrates, after hearing the evidence of the police officer, fined Sockett 5s., and costs, amounting altogether to 13s. 6d., which was paid. An Old Offe,, dei-John Braddock was brought up in custody of the police for committing a breach of the peace on Sunday morning last.—P.C. Ellis stated that his atten- tion was called to a great disturbance which was taking place on the defendant's premises, and. on entering the house he found that the defendant's wife had been greatly abused by him, and was in fear of her life.—The magis- trates, in consideration of defendant's having been locked up for two days, discharged him, at the same time caution- ing him that similar conduct in the future would be severely punished.

TREAT TO THE VBON COLLIERY WORKMEN.—On Tues- day Mr Low, of the Vron Colliery, gave the workmen a day's holiday, and he entertained them and their wives in a most hospitable manner at his residence, Roseneath, Grove Park. The men assembled at the works about mid-day, and marched from thence in procession, four abreast, in the following order;-The Clerks; band of the Royal Denbigh Militia; the workmen; Coedpoeth brass band workmen's wives Coedpoeth drum and fife band; boys employed at the works waggon carrying the aged and inhrm; numbering in all about 800. Mr Low and a number of friends met, and joined the procession near the town. The procession entered the town by the road leading to the railway, and after marching through the principal streets, entered Grove Park by the Chester. road entrance, soon after which they took their seats in a capacious tent belonging to the Wrexham Tent Company, where a most substantial dinner was laid out, in which abundance and variety were the order of the day. A number of Mr Low's gentlemen friends acted as carvers, the waiters being picked men from amoigst the mass of workmen who get and bring to the sur- face the coal at Vron Colliery. After dinner the large company took a walk through the gardens, had a peep inside Mr Low's handsome residence, and joined a large group that had assembled to witness the pranks of three niggers, who contributed greatly to the pranks of three niggers, who contributed greatly to the amusements of the afternoon. At six o'clock the whole sat down to an excellent tea, which was served out with- out stint until everyone was ready to cry out "Hold! enough "-and after all had cleared away there were left fragments sufficient to have fed a large number. The weather throughout was everything that could be desired. The grounds were beautifully decorated with fligs and banners, supplied by Mr Darlington, of Shrewsbury, through the agency of Mr Phillips, tobacconist, Wrex- ham.

CHIRK. THE CHIRK OUTRAGES. -Colonel Biddulph has addresse the following letter to the chairman of the Denbighshir Quarter Sessions relative to the discussion which too] place at the last Sessions on the subject of the Chirk out rages:— 35, Grosvenor-place, S.W., July 3, 1871. My Dear Sir,—I have to acknowledge with thanks your lette of the 1st instant, informing me that the Court of Quarter Ses sions on Thursday, allowed the whole of the expenses chargei for Sergeant Butcher, as also those of the Liverpool officer, ii endeavouring to trace out the perpetrators of the outrages or my property. I hope I need not say how peculiarly gratifying is such a proceeding, not in a pecuniary sense but coming as il does from the recognized guardians of law and order within th< county. It moreover at once disposes of the malicious and paltry pretence, industriously circulated, that by some act of mine I had incurred the hostility of some one or more of the humbler classes. I may, therefore, take this opportunity of stating that from the date of the first outrage in October, to the blowing up of my greenhouse in March last, I never for a mo- ment suspected any working man or collier as capable of any such dastardly act. Justice may be slow in overtaking the real offenders but, I believe she will also be sure and in following up the case, I shall now feel more than ever assured that I have the sympathy, and hearty good wishes of every honest man in the county of Denbigh.—I am, dear sir, yours very tralv, R. MYDDELTON BIDDULPH.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. Mr DALRYMPLE moved the second reading of the Habitual Drunkards Bill. The hon. member set out by asking whether the public interest in this subject had diminished, whether drunkenness was a disease or a crime, or both, and ought it to be punished ? That the interest had not diminished was, he said, shown by the increased support which his Bill had met with, and by the large numbers of letters which he received. He contended that the result of attempting to repres drunken- ness by treating it as a crime, had only been *o fill our work- houses and gaols. His Bill proposed to deal with the habitual drunkard by leaving him to voluntary action, by placing him under the care of his relatives, or by sending him to a drunkards' reformatory. The period of detention there was not to exceed one year, and, before he could be committed, it must be shown that he is an habitual drunkard, that ho is wastiiig his property and neglect- ing his family, and there must be the certificates of two medical men. Mr SALT and Colonel AKROYD did not oppose the measure, though they thought it "Vould not be operative in its present shape. Sir WILFRID LAWSON thought the Bill would fail to deal with what was even a greater evil than drunkennes- the habitual indulgence in intoxicating drinks short of actual drunkenness. After some further discussion, Mr BRUCE opposed the Bill, as one that bristled with serious objections. There would bWgreat difficulty in defining an habitual drunkard, and he objected to the dangerous powers of imprisonment given by the Bill. Eventually the Bill was withdrawn. Mr GEORGE DIXON moved the second reading of the Elementary Education Act Amendment Bill, which has for its object the repeal of the clause which permits cumulative voting for members of School Boards. The motion was negatived without a division. Some other business having been transacted, the House adjourned at six o'clock.

LONDON, THURSDAY.J-There is a general upward movement for all descriptions of stock, and a quotation on Monday's rates for beef may be fairly written. Very few fresh arrivals to hand. Trade extremely firm, and supply quickly cleared. There is a ready demand for all qualities of mutton, as well as lamb, at extreme rates, the supply of choice breeds being limited. There is a good advance in the calf market, sales progressing freely at the subjoined quotations. Pork also dearer. Beef, 4s 6d to 6s 4d: mutton, 4s 6d to 6s 8d; veal, 4s Od to 6s Od; pork, 38 6d to 4s lOd; lamb, 6s Od to 7s 2d. Total supply: Beasts, 1,090; sheep and lambs, 13,500; calves, 836; pips, 35; of which 200 were foreign beasts; 5,200 sheep and lams; 737 calves, and 15 pigs.

COLLISION AT SEA. Plymouth, Tuesday.—This morning, at half-an-hour after midnight, the ship Madagascar, of South Shields, ran into the Widgeon, of Cork. eight miles off the Eddy- stone. Both ships sunk, but all hands were saved.

FRANCE. Pari, Tuesday.—Gen. Faidherbe having been elected as a Deputy by three departments, has requested the electoral committee of Lille, Arras, and Amiens to arrange among themselves, and decide for which constituency he is to take his seat. The committee of the International Society for the Aid of the Wounded in War leaves to-day for England, in consequence of an invitation from Colonel Lindsay, to whom Dr Ricord will bring the Cross of a Commander of the Legion of Honour. The Commission of Iaquiry into acts of the Government of the National Defence will examine this morning Marshal Palikao and M. Benedetti.

New York, Thursday.—Over sixty rioters were killed on Wednesday, and over 150 wounded. Six policemen and ten soldiers were killed. At midnight the city was quiet. About 150 rioters were arrested. Another massacre of the innocents" is imminent. No attempt will be made to pass the Public-houses Regula- tion Bill, or the Metalliferous Mines Bill, or the Chain Cables and Anchors Bill, or the Pilotage Bill. A dozen mi- nor Ministerial measures must,also be.given up. Mr. Lowe's Budget is answerable for much delay, but the obstructive- ness of the Army Colonels and their allies is the main cause of the present state of public business. Depend upon it, the factious conduct of certain wembers of the Opposition will not be forgotten at the next election.

thing to record the fact that he had seldom seen heartier union and heartier co-operation with this question than with the various Nonconformist bodies througnout Wales, and in some parts of England where he had visited. The rev. gentleman next touched upon the right that every- one who is able should contribute towards general education, and instanced the enormous expense, as shown by the last report, we were at in maintaining our pauper and criminal classes, and in the support of union houses, namely, nearly fifteen million pounds a year. Ninety-six per cent., he said, of our criminal population had been brought up in absolute ignorance. That proved that ignorance might be regarded as a great source of crime. (Hear.) He was in favour of the adoption of the compul- sory clause in the Act, in order to secure anything like National education. There was now room for 800,000 children beyond the actual attendance, and he pooh- poohed the L ea that it was un-English to compel children to attend school.—The Chairman again expressed his sympathies with the object of the meeting; he hoped they would form a branch in Aberystwyth in connection with the {association, and whatever was in his power to bring about I he formation of the branch, he should be happy to apply it. (Applause.)—The Rev. Mr Evans made further remarks, and other gentlemen present ad- dressed the meeting. A LAD DROWNED IN THE HARBOUR, HEROIC CONDUCT OF A VISITOR. On Tuesday evening a little boy, eleven years of age, named Richard Sims, son to Thomas Sims, Trefechain, Aberystwyth, was in the harbour in a small boat, and was amusing himself in competing in skill of sculling against anuther lad, who was also in a bOlt in the har- bour. By some means Sims lost his footing as he was standing on the stern of the boat, and fell headlong into )ctpe water. The tide was high at the time. Mr Winches- j-V, a visitor at Mr David Roberts's brewer, was on his way for a bathe, and seeing the danger the lad was in of losing his life, ran into the water and heroically dived after the drowning lad. After several unsuccessful at- tempts Mr Winchester secured hold of the lad, but life Was then found to be extinct. An inquest was held at the Three Tuns Inn, Tre- fechain, by Mr Davies, on Wednesday afternoon, when the following evidence was adduced :—Air George Winchester said: At about half-past four o'clock yesterday after- noon I was near the mine shoot in the harbour, and was told that a little boy had fallen into the water. I went into the water and dived after him. I went down six or seven times, and at last I fouud him and brought him out. He appeared to be dead. His body was taken home.—David Williams, saddler, Trefechain, said that he saw the deceased sculling a bout in the harbour. He was alone in the boat, and directly afterwards he saw the boat with no one in it. Witness therefore coucludel that the deceased had fallen overboard, and gave an alarm. Ver- dict, Accidentally drowned." The jury highly com- mended Mr Winchester for his heroic conduct iu diving after the body and bringing it to shore. If he had been on the spot five minutes sooner the boy's life would have been saved. TOWN COUNCIL (SPECIAL MEETING), JULY 6TH.- Present: Mr Thomas Jones (Mayor), Alderman Richard Roberts; Councillors Jonathan Pell, Benjamin Hughes, David Roberts, Richard Jones, John Watkins, and Mr John Davies (Larbour master), Mr John Parry, town clerk; Mr Atwood, solicitor ;:and Mr Hugh Hughes, treasurer.

Memorial* Mr Atwood stated that the memorial to the Lords of the Treasury for a sum of money would be ready by the f- Uowin- Ihursday. and recommended that a meeting be then held to execute it. Agreed to. The Slaughter-house.—Mr B. Hughes asksd whether Mr James had paid the rent for the building ?-Mr Hughes: No! Have you had counsel's opinion as to whether you can compel the butchers to go to the slaughter- house :—Mr Atwood expecte i it would soon be received.— The Town Clerk: The question is as to Mr James's liability to p; y the r, nt.—Mr H. Hughes: There can be no doubt but that he is liable.—Mr Atwood Having taken possession of the building, he is certainly liable.— The Mayor: I recollect that the auction was a very fair one, and he was the highest bidder. -The Town CJeik I differ widely trom my learned friends. In the first place, there is no doubi, that when Mr James took the building: he understood he was to have the tolls which were settled upon, and also that we had the right of compelling all persons slaughtering in the town to do so at the new public building built for that purpose. In point of law he might be liable, but I think if he threw it into the Court of Chancery he would have the best of it. —Mr Atwood We gave him the maximum rate of charges, which he could have lowered to any amount.—The Town Clerk: If you could not let him the tolls, you only let him the building.—Mr Pell: It was certainly agreed that the butchers would be compelled to go there.—Mr Atwood: The ing111 ?Sreecl to nothing of the sort.—Mr Pell: Atthemeet- licence^V10us 10 the auction a resolution was passed refusing to moved s'aughter~house in the town; and it was also be the oni secoilded tyat the public slaughter-house should n 0 J y °ne to receive a licence. There was, therefore, slaughter-house in existence, as the new building was not eady. You may de pend that if Mr James takes it to the Court of Chancery, it will only expose the whole thing.—Mr If. Hughes: There is nothing to go to the Court of Chancery. The Town Ipierk: Without taking counsel's opinion, I would not act upon that of your treasurer and your solicitor. (Laughter.)—Mr D. Roberts: Even if the Town Commis- sioners had a right to stop slaughtering in private slaughter- houses, they had no power to compel the butchers to go to this particular building.-The Mayor thought the best plan to adopt would be to ask Mr James for the whole rent, and if Mr James would meet them, under the circumstances no one would be hard upon him.—It was decided that Mr Job Jones, the present occupier of the slaughter-house, be immediately ejected. Borough Boundary Map.—Mr B. Hughes moved that a large map of the borough boundaries be drawn, and also that boundary stones be placed in different portions of the Jjoun- bary line, to denote the course it pursued.—The Town Clerk said a most efficient map was being made for the use of the School Board, which he considered amply sufficient for all borough rating purposes.—Mr B. Hughes was only afraid that in the event of the departure of several of their oldest mem- -bers the boundaries would be hopelessly lost; but, upon the assurance made by the Town Clerk, lie withdrew his motion. Sympathy witlhe ex-Empero2- of the F)-ench.-The Town Clelk then read a communication which had that median, been received by the Mayor from the International Civic Association, asking the Board to affix their com- mon seal to an address to be presented to the Emperor Napoleon, sympathising with him upon his misfortunes. The address was couched in strong Imperialistic phrases, 0 Several <of which ran as follows :—" God grant that he (the Prince Imperial) be the father of a long line of kings The -sun will shine again upon your palaces, and sor.gS of praise will be heard irom your holy altar;" "Miscreants have laid their unhallowed hands upon the monuments of her (France's) glory, but their foundations remain un- shaken. "All nations acknowledge the genius of the First Emperor; our cry is, long life to Napoleon the Third" During the late volcano your Majesty's life has besn especially preserved for some wise end." The address .concluded by saying,—" We doubt not that by the blessings .of peace your Majesty will be earnestly entreated by all who have the welfare of their country at heart to return toyaur dominious.The Town Clerk The ques- tion is, what are your opinions, Republican, Legitimist, IIr Imperialist. t(Laugliter). Mr B. Hughes did hot like the phrase, God grant that he be the father of a long line of tings." That was an improbability, and he thought the object of the address was one the Council should not countenance. -A-ft(r an amusing conversation, Mr. Pell moved that since the address was merely in the light of a compliment paid to anillust ious stronger, the common seal of the Council be affixed to it.—Mr. D. Roberts se- conded it.—Mr Richard Roberts said he did not wish to go against the wishes of the majority in a matter of this description, and therefore did not actively oppose the motion.—The motion was then agreed to, and the sea1, of 1;he Corporation was attached to the address. -Ti e Council then adjourned. POLICE BUSINESS, SATURDAY JULY STH.-Before Captain Bassett Lewis. Cruelty to a Horse: a singular Case. -Thomas Evans, of Tal-y-i>ont, miner, was charged with this offence. John Robbey, of Ty'nyffynnon, gamekeeper to Sir Pryse Pryse, said, he knew a certain colt belonging to Mr Evan Davies, of the Black Lion, Tal-y-bont, he saw the colt in the prisoner's possession that morning about half past seven o'clock. The colt was very lame, and he talked to the prisoner about it, and asked him whether it was his horse, when he replied it was Mr John Owen's, of Tal-y-bont, colt. After the prisoner had parsed he drove the animal j); along furious'v; the horse appeared quite exhausted. —Sergeant I avid Morgan said he had received information from Tal-y-bont that a horse had been lost from a field near that place the previous ',light. He paid a visit to Tal-y-bont about eight o'clock that morning, and saw the colt in ques- tion driven to the iild mentioned. The animal could hardly walk; it appeared as if it had been very much abused.— Fined 92, and costs. The prisoner not being able to pay, was sent to Caidigan gaol for one month, with hard labour. MONDAY.—Before Captain Bassett Lewis. Drunk and Iliotons.—John Williams, a bcllhanger, who has lately arrived in this town from Carmarthen, was charged with this offence.-Sergeaiit Evans said he met the prisoner on Sunday morning, on the North Parade. He had just then been creating a disturbance in Chalybeate-terrace. The Prisoner was reprimanded, and fined Is., and costs. BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS, WEDNESDAY. -Before Thomas Jones, Esq. (Mayor), and Captain C. Bassett Lewis. Throwing Dirty Water on the Street.-Mary Jones, Port- land-street, was summoned by P.S. David Evans for hav- ing, on the 7th instant, thrown or allowed to run over and along Portland-lane a quantity of dirty water, from her Premises.-P.S. Evans said be visited the lane on the day in question and found a large qaantity of dirty water there. Found that defendant had been washing.—The Mayor Was there an unhealthy smell from the dirty Water ?-P.S. Evans Yes, sir.—Defendant said she only threw away clean water, and was not at home on the 7th IDst.-The ummons was dismissed. Alleged Breach of the Peace. -Mary Griffiths, Aberyst- wyth, servant, was summoned by Margaret Griffiths, Llanbadarn village, for breach of the peace.—Mr ^.rthur Hughes appeared for the defendant.—The com- Piainant said that on the 10th of July (Monday la^t) she as being driven home, when the defendant called after carri *ler tn Pay her debts instead of riding in a fence*8?1' t-v.nd Ca^in? her imProPer names.—For the de- Provn'flr Morris was called, stating that there was missed. 10n and idle word8 use<* by both.—Case dis- as aV^vker'7 ^ourihfare—John Topsill, described having obstruct rjeapside, London, was summoned for and hereon North -p th™-™gMare by leaving a wag-on th Parade, on the Hh instant, for an un- reasonable time.—Mr J. J. Atwood, who appeared in support of the summons, said that this was a case affecting the public materially. It was unfair, he said, that trades- men in the town, paying heavy rates and taxes, should have to compete with such persons as the defendant, who had to pay no rates and taxes. However, that was nothing to do with the summons, which complained of an obstruc- tiono-P.Co David Thomas (8) proved that the defendant's waggon had been left on the North Parade for a space of twenty minutes. It was in the middle of the street all that time. An hour afterwards the waggon was only a few vards fu, tlier on. -Defendant said he drew his waggon under the trees to shelter his goods from the rain which was falling at the time. He produced his licence. The Mayor said the Bench considered the case proved, and fined the defendant 5s., including costs.—John James, traveling hawker, was similarly summoned. P.C. David Thomas (8) said he saw the defendant on Marine-terrace, on Monday afternoon last, standing with his waggon at the same spot for a quarter of an hour.—Defendant said he did not think he stood at one place more than ten minutes. Fined 5s., including costs. Drunk and Disorderly.—John Evans, shoemaker, Great Darkgate-street, was charged with having been drunk and disorderly on Sunday evening.—P.C. David Thomas proved the charge.—Fined 5s., and costs. m, Wilful Damage.—George Davies, a boy residing 111 ± neo- pian-street, was summoned for having wilfully damaged a street lamp on the 24th, in Railway-terrace.-P.C. David Thomas (23) said he saw the defendant climb up a lamp-post in Railway-terrace. He ordered the boy down, and he came down and ran away. Witness pursued and caught him. Could not say what damage was done to the lamp-post. De- fendant threw stones.—Mr Davies (the boy's father) said his son was not awav from home more than five minutes.—Fined 5s., including li costs. Asmult.—Vvan Hughes, sailor, was summoned for having assaulted Catherine Evans, widow, on the 8th inst.—The parties are aged. It seemed from the statements of the com- plainant that on the day in question the defendant went to her house in Prospect-street after some little girl, threatening to beat her. The child had gone to witness's house for pro- tection. The defendant struck complainant on her chest.— The magistrates bound the defendant over in his own recog- nizance of C5 to keep the peace for six mouths. Assaulting a Wife.—James Jones, horsekeeper, was sum- moned by his wife, Anne Jones, for assault on the previous day (Tuesday.)—The complainant said she did not wish to proceed with the case if her husband would promise to behave well for the future.—The magistrates allowed the case to be settled out of Court. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, MONDAY.—Present: Mr Lewis Puglh Pugh (chairman), and Mr H. C. Fryer, ex:oiecio. Messrs W. H. Davies, David Jacob Davies, John Ellis, Peter Jones, Thomas Samuel, John Jones, William Jones (Cynnilmawr), David Jones, 'David James, Isaac James, Richard Morris, John Evans, Stephen Ellis, William Jones (Parcel Canol), J. R. Richards, and Thos. Edwards; Mr Hugh Hughes, clerk. Financial.-The Relieving Officers reported their expendi- ture in out-door relief for the past fortnight as follows :—Mr T. Ll. Griffiths, E93 16s.; Mr John Blackwell, ClO8 2s. 6d.; and Mr Lewis Lewis, JE73 9s. 10d.; total, Y,275 8s. 4d. Balance in the treasurers hands, S229 9s. lOd. The Contemplated Alteritions to the Workhorse.—The Chxirman read a letter received from Mr Longe, the Poor-law Inspector, blaming the Guardians for not attending a com- mittee meeting when he himself was present, with only the chairman and Mr Fryer, at which meeting the plans of the alterations were to have been considered. The communica- tion pointed out the course the Poor-law Board would pursue unless the alterations were made in accordance with the approved plans.—Mr Fryer spoke at great length as to the necessity of having the alterations carried out speedily.—Mr T. Samuel proposed, and Mr John Jones (Aberystwyth) seconded, that the plans for alterations to the workhouse, as altered by Mr Longe, be adopted that the whole of the work be done at once, and that £ 800 be borrowed for the purpose. —This was carried unanimously.—Mr Evans (Berthrees) and Mr J. R. Richards were appointed extra members of the Building Committee, and Mr W. H. Davies was appointed in the stead of Mr Joel Morgan, who is out of office. Mr Bl-ackicell and the Out-door Paupers. -The Chairman brought before the notice of the Board the state of Mr Blackwell's (relieving officer) district, remarking upon the preponderance in the number of out-door paupers as com- pared with the other districts of the Union. He thought that, in fairness to Mr Blackwell himself, and also to the new officer appointed in his place, it would be better for the Board to appoint a person to go through the district, in order to make a careful investigation of the paupers' circumstances. —Some of the Guardians thought they themselves might go round and make the investigation.—The Chairman expressed disapproval of appointing any Guardians to do the work.— Mr Fryer proposed, and Mr. D. J. Davies seconded, that Mr J. Ll. Griffiths, the master, be appointed to go round Mr Blackwell's district for the purpose of examining paupers and their circumstances, and to report to the Board.— Agreed to. The Board then took the relief cases. COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS (SPECIAL), WEDNESDAY, JULY 12TH.-Before. Thomas Jones, Esq., Captain C. Bas- set Lewis, and Lewis Pugh Pugh, Esq. ALLEGED ASSAULTS. Edward Taylor, carpenter, in the employ of Mr J. B. Bal- combe, Brynymon, was summoned for having assaulted Capt. Alexander Richardes on' July 4th; and Thomas Barson, Penglais-fach, farm bailiff to Mr J. Balcombe, was summoned for having assaulted Henry Gay at the same time and place. Mr Arthur Hughes appeared for the defendant. Captain Richardes said that at about nine o'clock in the evening of the 4th inst. he was standing on the public path at the top of the hill, at the back of the Town Hall, and his gamekeeper with him, when, after having been there a few minutes conversing together, Thomas Barson and Edward Taylor approached them, coming in the direction from the town. They were rather drunk. The Clerk-What path is it ? Witness—It is a public path at the back of the plantation. The Mayor That old footpath ? Wit, less-Yes; it is a footpath now. I Examination continued—Barson jumped towards Henry Gay, witness's gamekeeper, swore at Gay, seized him, and both fell to the ground. At the same time Taylor rushed at witness and told him to go off the ground. Taylor hall hit and half pushed" witness, to get him off the ground. He re- fused to go for a while, but finding that Taylor was becoming very violent, and being in a drunken state as well, witness deemed it best to go. He walked on a little way and got on his own land. Witness was on the public path, and did not speak to Taylor till he interfered. He wished Barson and Taylor to be bound over to keep the peace. Mr Pugh-Is there any doubt about that path being a public path? Captain Richardes—Oh, no; no doubt about it. Cross-exaiyiined-These assaults occurred in the evening of the same day in which witness was summoned before the magistrates, and when his son and the gamekeeper were fined for trespassing on Mr Balcombe's land. After the cases were over witness went home. It was nine o'clock when he went to the footpath. Did not go into Mr Balcombe's wood at all. Did not go an inch off the path. Mr Hughes—What did you do when Taylor half hit and half pushed" von ? Witness—I did the same to him. (A laugh,) Cross-examination continued—The boundary hedge be- longed to witness. The men used very bad language. They were not so drunk as not to know what they were about. Witness did not swear. They abused each other. Had not been down to Mr Balcombe's land since then. Had been on the boundary every day to keep his hares back. Henry Gay, the gamekeeper, corroborated, and added, that a man named Jenkins, a butcher, was with Barson and Taylor un the evening in question. Witness stopped at the place a good while after being knocked down. Cross-examined—Did not hear his master swear. There is about four feet of land between the footpath and the boundary wall. Did not know whose land that was. Witness was not in Brynymor wood that day. TRESPASS IN PURSUIT OF GAME. Captain Alexander Richardes, of Penyglais, and Henry Gav, of Penglais Lodge, were then summoned for having, on the 4th of July, at Llanbadarn-fawr, trespassed, by being in the daytime on certain lands in the possession and occupation of Mr J. B. Balcombe, in pursuit of game, without a licence or consent of the owner of the land. Ed,rd Taytor said that when he first saw Capt. Richards and Henry Gay on the evening of the 4th inst., they were standing in Mr Balcombe's wood. They were knocking the trees with stones, and each had a club in his hand. Should say that they were beating the game out of the wood. It was quite wrong for Capt. Richardes to say he was not in that wood on the 4th inst. Witness did not think he struggled at all with Capt. Richardes. After getting over the fence into his own land, fCapt, Richardes swore that if he had a gun or a pistol with him he would blow his (witness's); brains out. (Sensation.) He said he would go and blow witness's house up. His (Capt. Richardes') keeper begged him not to get into such a rage. Witness told Mr Richardes he had no right to go to the wood. He said he was on the footpath. Witness told him he (Capt. Richardes) would make a footpath anywherelon Mr Balcombe's land. Did not'strug- gle with Capt. Richardes. Merely turned round and pointed the way for him to go. Mr Pugh-How far is it from one wood to the other ? Witness-About seventy yards. Mr Pugb- What was your reason as to the cause of their leaving Mr Balcombe's wood ? Witness—Because they saw me coming up. To the Bench-Just after seeing Mr Richardes, witness saw Barson and Jenkins coming along. They had been killing sheep at thefa.rm. Thomas Barson said that between five and nine o'clock in the evening of the 4th inst., he was at his home at Penglaisfach, assisting Jenkins to kill sheep. They then walked towards Mr Balcombe's quarry. Witness and the other men had had notice to keep trespassess off the ground; saw Mr Richards in the wood, on the evening of the 4th inst. There is a seventy-acre field between Mr Balcombe's wood, and Mr Richardes s wood. Witness said, We have you again, Captain Richardes." Witness took hold of Gray to see what he Ijad m his possession, and they both fell to the gronnd. I hat was m the field, and not on the path.. Captain Le\yis—What do You think was Captain Richardes's object in beating the wood ? Witness—He was beating the game on to his own land. He said it was a good job he had no gun or pistol with him, or he would blow my brains out. Captain Richardes How can you say I had been in Mr Balcombe's wood. I would not dirty my shoes by going there. (A laugh). Mr Pugh-Did Captain Richardes see you before he left the wood ? Witness—Yes, he saw me after I said, We have you again." He was in the wood when I called out, "We have you again." Mr Pugh—Then your first conversation with him that day was in the wood ? I Witness-Yes; I called to him. I ran after Gray and caught him. Jenkins, the butcher, corroborated. The struggle took place about twenty or thirty yards from the path. Capt. Richardes-Where did you say my keeper and myself were standing ? Witness-In Mr Balcombe's wood. Were you not all coming in the direction from the town ? —No. Were you not on the path, and my keeper against the wa 11 —No. Mr Pugh-Were you in Court that day ? Witness-I was in the Court listening to the cases in which Capt. Richardes and Mr Balcombe were implicated; afterwards I went to Brynymor with Barton. Mr Hughes observed that these cases arose simply through a feeling of jealousy on Mr Richardes's part, because Mr Bal- combe had the right of shooting. Mr Richardes again declared that he had not been an inch over Mr Balcombe's ground. The room was then cleared, and on the re-admission of the public, Mr Pugh said—We have before us two cross-cases; they are two summonses for assault—one in which Captain Richardes is complainant and Edward Taylor defendant and in the other Hemy Gay is complainant and Thomas Barson defendant; then we have an information against Captain Richardes and Henry Gay for trespassing in pursuit of game. These cases have been, by consent, heard together, and the magistrates have given the evidence their careful attention, and have gone over all the points. It is extremely painful for us to decide these cases; but the Bench cannot help unanimously coming to the conclusion that Captain Richardes was trespassing on land of Mr Balcombe's in pursuit of game on that evening, and that Thomas Barson and Edward Taylor did no more than they might rightfully do in turning them off the land. It has been given in evidence that on the morning of that day similar cases to these were heard in this Court against the same parties. I am sure the Bench did not think then that the offence would be repeated. The offence having been repeated on the evening of that day the magistrates cannot fine Captain Richardes anything lower than the highest penalty, which is 40s., and costs, or one month's imprisonment. Henry Gay is fined 21, and costs, or fourteen days' imprisoiiment.
