Tredegar, plaintiff's wages to be 25s. per week, the engagement being subject to six months' notice. In July plaintiff was appointed regisi ration agent for the Western Division of Monmouthshire, and defendant thereupon wrote stating that Rogers's salary would be suspended whilst he was acting as registration agent, and that, he mUM leave it to defendant to fix his remuneration for work done on his (Mr. Phillips's) behalf during that period. Plaintiff finished his registration work in December, and from that time until April, when he left Mr. Phillios, Rogers devoted his whole time to the service of that gentleman. On the termination of plaintiff's engagement the sum now claimed was alleged to be owing to him, and as Mr. Phillips disputed the amount these proceedings were commenced. De- fendant. denied owing plaintiff any money, and also set up a counter claim of £7 13s. 7d. He alleged that from the 1st of January the plain- tiff's wages were to be only 15s. per week and the counter-claim, he said, arose out of Rogers having received money for him.—In reply to his honour, plaintiff admitted that Mr. Phillips wrote informing him that his salary would be 15s. a week from January, but he said that he did not, reply to defendant's communication, and con- tinued to draw money at the rate of 25s. a week. In the result his Honour decided that plaintiff was entitled to the £5 16s. 9d. claimed, and a further sum of £3 for additional services. Judgment was accordingly entered for plaintiff for JE5 16s. 9d. with costs, and for defendant in respect of £4 13s. 7d. on the counter-claim. SWANSEA. (Before his Honour Judge GWILTM WILLIAMS.)

I also "alue and thank YOU very muclI tor Lh6 protest which your mewLJers have lIIaJe against tht: very unfair aud insulting manner in wlÜdl I was treated on Wednesday last in the Council Chamber. If I had done anything to cllll for this treatment there might. have been n little ex< use, but I was pursuing a COlUseof action which, as a ratepayer's representative, I was conscientiously bound to dO. aud which was Stl emphatically endorsed by the ratepayers at the Aibert- liall on the Sth inst. The gross insult to which I was subjected was. iu my Opi I¡iou, IIOt. au insult t,) me only, ImL to every burgess who was present <It. that boruugh meeting, and who voted for the resolution which approved of II1Y action. I said at the commencement that I considered a radical change and a thorough investigation should be made into the manner "f spending h" public n1(lIle\s. If I were of thb opillioll theil, I am doubly so IIOW, The poor, struggling ratepayer tinds it hard enough to make elllls meet to pay hi" wav tu get a bare living; but to I see the way in which the highly-paid officials of our bllroLlgh ILl' the public moneys in journeys to London, paying their taxes, &c" alld that this COli duct. is COII- doned awl. approvcci by so many mellluers of the council is galiiilg III the extreme, "nd 1 must decidedly endorse the prt of the resolution which ays that the way in wllicÍl the matter was disposed "f 011 Wednesday is not satistactory to the ratepayers.

The case "was partly heard last, week. Prisoner W.18 charged with putting 1 before a 5, making the pay 15s. instead of 5s.

He said he had lost it on the road, and had been told a man had picked it up and brought it to the office. Agnes Green said prisoner lodged with her.

He noticed there was printing ou the top of the paper, and that a corner was torn off. (A corner ot the ticket had been torned off.) —Committed for trial at the assizes.

I WIMBLEDON RIKLE MEETING. THE CAMP, FRrDAT Eyesiso. Only second in importance to the Queen's is the St. George's Challenge Vase, which was the chief event of to-day. But the hopes of intending marksmen were temporarily dashed by a sharp squall accompanied by a drenching shower, which passed over our canvas city at seven ole-ock this morning, and promised a recurrence of Monday's meteorological misery; but, happily, the visita- tion of wet was over in half-an-hour, and morning gun-fire,announcing the opening of I he Sf. George's, found the ranges in possession of a variable wind, but with other conditions favourable to the marks- man. Thin was demonstrated by Private Marr. 1st Cheshire, speedily scoring a highest possible, but, unfortunately for him, in the fitsr of the three tie shots always tired with a "h.p. he had the misfortune to plant his bullet—a file bull- on the wrong target.. Subsequently, how- ever, he secured two other bulls. The sun- shine, though strong, was tempered with great baukil of grey clouds, which resulted in an excel- lent light for the competitions, while the heat and brightness of the day made a breezy promenade ou the common enjoyable for the morning's visitors.

In 1865 the system of two stages was introduced, the lhagon Cup being given as a prize in the second,to be competed for amongst winners of the first. Besides the St, George's, the morning was occupied by a series of the usual competitions generally fixed for the first week in the Wimble- don fortuight, amonsrst which the long range contest formed useful practice for the next stage of the Queen's, which will be fired during the coming week. The weather grew perceptibly warmer after luncheon, and the musical perfor- mance under the umbrella. tent during the interval was largely attended. Amongst the other marksmen to-day in the St. George's who distinguished themselves yesterday in the Queen's was Corporal Souter, the Queen's First Stage Bronze Medallist, who, out of the highest possible, put on a string of six bulls, but failed at the seventh shot, only making a magpie, and thus finishing with 33.

THE CAMP, MOKDAY EVENING. No greater contrast could well be imagined than that presented by the camp to-day find its appearance yesterday. The brilliant sunshine, which lasted, unbroken by a cloud, from early afternoon on Sunday to sunset, ban been exchanged for a dull itiid sullen grey sky, not indisposed at times to sulky storm, n smart shower falling just previous to the luncheon interval. In place, too, of the immense multitude who crowded the common yesterday, and who stretched ill an endless and orderly throng from Wimbledon to Wandawortli and Putney, and really on to London, the encampment appeared to be practically deserted. Some idea of the immense number of people present yesterday-the largest crowd ever seen on the common during a rifle meeting—may be gathered from the fact that no less than 4,000 d07,em of mineral water's Were sold on the grounds, the attendants at the paviliou taking, on an average, £10 each for soda water, and gingerbeer alone. It had been somewhat maliciously hinted in one or two quarters thut rough and rowdy behaviour might, por-sibly be expected, but the strong pickets of voluiiteerd-six fillsof men with a sergeant and cor poral-w Iw patrolled the camp untilllillo p.m. on Sunday did jl,)L lileet kvit.ii allytllilig io c;kll f,)I.

The distances were 600 and 900 yards, fifteen shots being delivered at tho former and ten at I i l(i latter range. Besides the Albert tile Indian ami Colonial competitions fur the Corporation of Ihe City of London prizes were of very considerable inleret.t, and ol the lew visitors to the camp to-d.ty well-known civic magnates ami colonists formed by far the greater percentage. The other two chief events were ihe Fieid Memorial and the Mullens.

Il is competed f-ji- at 600 yar-ls, 1"11 shots with the Martini-Henry Iteing allowed, and, as it is confined to past and present members of 1tP. twenties for the great National Trophy Match, it may be relied upon to furnish some good shooting. The Mullens was one of the J:¡!t,I, timed important compelitious of the day, and 25 >quad« representing volunteer battalions from Kngland, Scotland, and lit" Channel Islands, entered fur the contest. Amongst the more notable visitors to tho camp during iiie j morning Were (Japlain .Schroder, Saval Attachd | of the Urerman Embassy Count Wesenstein, "lid Baron Wagner, accompanie'd by Colonel Muncnelf, Scots Guards, the party being escorted over the common by Sir Henry Wilmut.
