J;í,m1 1Jzær. M NEWPORT, APRIL 16, 1859. i WHO WILL BE OUR NEXT REPRE- SENTATIVE ? THIS seems to be a question engrossing the public Itnind, ami in the mouth of every one- whom we 'meet. From what-transpired at the public meet- ing on Monday evening, the question is rational. It is quite natural for people to feel interested in jibe gentleman who is to represent them in Par- liament. In the present prostration of trade, rthey look to him for some radical change, which, When effected, shall bring them out of their diffi- culties. But they do not look for any change for the better at the hands of the present member -for these boroughs. On the contrary, he, by the popular vote, is impeached for having abused I tibe confidence of his constituents. Therefore, %e is deemed unworthy to represent them. But in order to oust him it will be necessary to Select another, and as no gentleman has been pub- Hely named for the honourable distinction, the public eye is turned in various directions towards those known to possess liberal principles. Each Seems to have his own choice, as fancy or esteem Airects. Hence we have heard several gentlemen named as likely to come forward. Three gentle- men are mentioned with some confidence, but attention is chiefly directed towards one, whose .interests are identical with Newport. Like Mr. C. Bailey, he is largely interested in the develop- ment of the resources of the Hills, yet, unlike that gentleman, he is solely interested in that por- tion to which Newport must naturally be the emporium of both export and import traffic. Of jprofessed liberal principles, practically acquainted With the loeal requirements, and supposed to have ability, will, and sufficient energy to promote the welfare of the borough and district, he is appa- rently the fittest man on whom to seat the res- ponsibility of representing it in Parliament. There can be no doubt that a large majority of the electors entertain liberal views, and devoutly ))elieve that they should have a liberal represen- tative,—but will all who entertain this belief vote accordingly? We fear not. We have reason to know that already the friends of the tory political defaulter are actively and surreptitiously at work, coercing the electors into voting for him. Patriot- ism will in many cases retire before self-interest, and men who have complained of their member's Conduct, will waver, totter, and at length fall ,-into his ranks, overpowered by the resistless force of the golden argument. A large body of I men, who would otherwise stamd firm, will, from aheer necessity, bend to the iron will of despotic power .and, against their conscience, vote away -the right of ever having the chance to do so again, i The alternative, lose your bread or vote for ■-Whom I chose" will be mournfully accepted by vbem. We would call on all such men to make 'ft f, th a sacrifice fo their patriotism. r g Jtol Intelligent?.

¡, SUDDEN DFtTH.-On Saturday morning last Mr. John White, aged 39 years, who had been for 14 years a clerk in the Newport Dock office, was found dead in his lvecl. No inquest had been (up to Wed- 1 nesday) held on the body, as the deceased was under medical treatment it has been deemed inexpedient. Lr,ANTARXAM. DEATH OF A PHILANTHBOPIST. Much sorrow is evinced in this village and neigh- bourhood, in consequence of the death of Mrs. Winslow, who died last week, at her residence. The 3 deceased lady was famous for her skill and knowledge of simples, and her wonderful cures drew afflicted persons in large numbers and from long distances to her. She gave her services gratuitously to a large extent especially to the afflicted poor. PEOPLE'S CONCERTS.—Much has been said for and gainst these concerts, which were got up for the -4wreation of the lovers of music. The sixth and last in the series came off on Tuesday evening, before a densely crowded house. The amateurs, aided of course by professional-musicians, acquitted them- selves very well on this, as well as on former occa- sions. There was a good deal of unpleasantness, however, occasioned by a party who felt annoyed at the severe criticisms of the Merlin on the manage- jReot, and a portion of the performances at the former entertainments. ORATION AT THE THEATRE.—An oration, subject "A plea for children," was delivered at the Theatre by Mr. Davies, a youth of about eighteen years of -age, on Monday evening. Mr. Davies is a fluent and eloquent speaker, and his language is highly poetical and figurative, which is very pleasing. RESTORATION OF BETTWS CHURCH.—The pleasantly situated little church of Bettws, near Newport, is about to be restored by Mr. H. P. Bolt, builder, from the architectural drawings of Messrs. Prichard and Seddon, diocesan architects of Landaff. INDVSTRIkT,,SCIIOOLS.-Tbe large and commodious new Industrial Schools, at C'aerleon, for the children of the Newport Union, have just been completed by Mr. H. P. Bolt, builder, from the designs of Mr. A. O. Watkins, architect, the cost being about £;},OOO, BARON TREDEGAR.—Sir Charles Robinson Morgan, Bart., created Baron Tredegar, of Tredegar, in "the county of Monmoath, is eldest son of the^late vener- -able Sir Charles Gould Morgan, Bar, by his mar- riage with Mary Margaret, daughter of Captain Storey, R.N. The family of Morgan has for many generations been one of the most opulent families in Wales and Monmouthshire, which county has been almost constantly represented by one of the family for mote than a century. The first baronet, Sir Charles Gould, who wnsjudare advocate general and judge marshal of the forces, in pursuance of the will of his brother-in-law, John Morgan, obtained the Boyal license for assuming the name and arms of Morgan. The late-baronet died in 1840, at a gr.at age, verging on 90. The newly made peer was born the 10th of April, 1703, and married, the 0th of Octo- ber, 1827, Rosamond, only daughter of General and ■ the Hon. Mrs. Mumly, granddaughter maternally of Rodney, the distinguished admiral. He repre- t seated Brecon in the House of Commons from 1818 "to 1832, when he wr S ousted by Mr. John Lloyd Yaugban Watkins, by a majority of six. At the general election in 183a he was again returned for the borough, and continued its representation in parliament up to 18-49. He was appointed major of the Glamorgan Miiitia in 1849, and received the. honorary degree of D.C.L. from Oxford in 18-48. The eJdest son of his lordship, Godfrey Charles Morgan, horn IB IS-i'J, was in the 17th Lancers, and served in the East during the campaign of 1854 and 1855. At the cfFose of the war he retired from the regular army, and in 1850 was appointed major of the Glou- cester Yeomanry Cavalry.

NEWPORT ELECTION.
NEWPORT ELECTION. OPPOSITION TO THE SITTING MEMBER. A very large and influential meeting of the electors of the borough of Newport, for the purpose of taking into consideration the expediency of choosing a new represen- tative in the next parliament, took place at the Tkiwn- hall on Monday evening, Henry Sheppard, Esq.,the mayor, in the chair. Mr. Crawshay Bailey, M.P. for the Monmouthshire boroughs was present, and as he made his appearance there were unmistakable signs of disapprobation mani- fested in the groans and hisses drowning the slender show of clapping by his suppoitgrs. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform supporting the tion. gentleman were Mr. S. Homfray, Mr. T. Powell, and Mr. T. Powell, junior on the opposite side were Messn. James Brown, Charleg Lyne, J. Latch, W. Graham, J. Davies, and H. J. Davis. The MAYOR, who was loudly cheered-an rising, said he had convened the meeting pursuant to a requisition re- ceived on Saturday, and signed by a large body of the ratepayers and electors of the borough-, and he had complied with the requisition with great pleasure. He was glad to see so large an attendance, and he was also glad that the notice of the meeting had brought their hon. member there. (Hear.) He was glad to see him there—(no no)—for he (Mr. Bailey) would have a chance to reply to any questions in reference to himself, which was the great privilege of a man in this country. (Cheers.) He (the Mayor) was present as their humble servant, and did not wish to dictate, but if he might advise, he thought the best plan would be to hear Mr. Crawshay Bailey first. (Hisses, groans, uproar, and faint cheers.) Mr. BAILEY, who on rising was assailed vqith groans and hisses, said he came down to Newport for the pur- pose of addressing the meeting. (Groans.) He had done nothing—(" True," hear hear, and uproar)-to cause this displeasure. (Groans.) What had he done for Newport. (" Nothing," great uproar.) He had been living in that neighbourhood nearly half a century, and he had been the means of faying out nearly ten millions in works, and property. (Hear, What about the Old Rhymney Tram- road ?") He would answer that. In 1824 the Rhymney Iron Works belonged to himself and another party, and they made a tramroad from thence to Newport-could they do more?—since then the works had passed into other hands, and they had made a road to Cardiff where it was well known Lord Bute had constructed fine docks. (What about the Ely Dock?) He Mr. Bailey, would come to the Ely Dock presently. When the New Rhymney Railroad was projected, he (Mr. BaHey,) opposed the bill with all his ability, but it was carried, and his (Mr. Bailey's) party lost. (Why ?) He would tell them why. Some of their friends from Newport had given it their support. (Hear hear, and groans.) [He then alluded to She remarks made in the Town Council at their recent meeting, in respect of the Old Rhymney Railroad Company and his own conduct therein.J It would have been folly for him and his partners in that road to have attempted to turn it into a railway, as it could not be done without great expense to themselves. ("Oh, oh.") But he would say that neither the late Sir Charles Mor- gan, the present Sir Charles Morgan, Mr. Octavius Morgan, Alderman Thompson, nor himself had ever tried to oppose any meamre for converting the road into a railway. (Hear. Why didlnt you do it then?") He had received a letter from some one in Newport asking him to premise them that he would use his endeavours to prevail with Mr. Octavius Morgan and Sir Charles to join with him in obtaining a bill for converting the line into a railway. (Hear.) He was anxious to do so. ("Whv bav'nt you done it before?") He had large works, and a great deai of property which he was obliged to ship from different ports, but he could not ship his Monmouthshire products from Cardiff, ("No you can't;" Hear, hear.) They must then see that he was interested in Newport. (" How about the reform bill;" and interruption.) He had been used to noisy parties, and therefore could put wp with them, buthe would tell the gentlemen, that had that bill been passed, the reformers of the country would have had a bright instalment of reform. (Hear hear, laughter, and great uproar amidst which the hon. gentle- man sat down.) Cries for Brown, and for Homfray, and Brown to come to the table. A voice Will Mr. Bailey vote for the ballot ? Mr. JAMES rose amidst loud cheers, groans and confusion. He intended to address the meeting quietly. He would answer what fr. Bailey had said. (Hear hear; uproar.) The Voice: Will Mr. Bailey vote for the ballot? Mr, BAILEY said he would not vote for the ballot, his voice was against it. (Hisses.) Last week in the House of Commons it was moved when 300 members voted 1 against it—and but 98 for it-(vroai-is and hisses.) I did not vote for "it. (A voice, "Then we don't want you." Cheers, laughter, and great uproar.) Mr. GEORGE BATFSON, who came to the platform amidst loud uproar, cheers, and laughter, said he was proud in the first instance to see their hon. member present, for lie was the last man to say anything behind a man's back which he would not say to his face. (Hear, hear.) He was one who signed the requisition for the meeting, and lie might be asked why he did so, as he had been one of Mr. Bailey's staunchest supporters. (Hisses, and hear, hear.) Mr. Bailey was a tory, and he (Mr. Bateson) was brought up one, and he had proved that he would stick to his text, and not waver about like a shuttlecock. (Laughter and uproar.) Mr. Bailey din't like the ballot, and neither did he himself. (Groans, hisses, and shouts of "pop.") All that was wanted of Mr. Bailey was to do all in his power for the institutions as they were, and never mind the ballot. (Uproar, hisses, ■' vvhere's the wash tub ? and cries of come down.) He stood on that platform, for Mr. Bailey at his first election, and what was then uttered by Mr. Lindsay was a falsehood. (Hisses and 'loud uproar.) He hoped Mr. Bailey would be returned, (hissess and loud and can- tinned uproar, drowning the speaker's voice and causing him, after several efforts to speak, to sit down.) Mr. W. M. JACK rose to ask a question—would Mr. Bailey give a pledge to vote in parliament for a reduction in the borough franchise, so as to allow a larger portion of the working classes to enjoy the suffrage? (Hear, hear, and cheers.) Mr. TOM JONES got up to ask, as Mr. Bailey had been absent from the house' when many things of great im- portance had bee-i before it, if' re-elected, would there be any chance of the boroughs being any better represented than r-tofeie ? Mr. COSLET, after a few preliminary remarks on the conduct of Mr. Bailey, said, the hon. member for the boroughs had said they had obtained a grant for the Old Rhymney Tramroad in 1819. He asked that gentleman why they did not, fit that time, get an act to convert it into a railway ? (Hear, hear.) Mr. Bailey was a money- getting man, and one not likely to let slip any means of getting money and was it likely, if it had not been for his interest, that he would have allowed the other line to be made? (Henr, hear.) Had he done his duty—to convert the old Rhymney line into a railway for passenger traffic-the trade of Rhymney would never have been diverted from Newport. (Hear, hear.) He would wish to ask whether what was asserted by Mr. H. J. Davis in the Newport 'own council in reference to the conduct of Mr. Bailey in respect of the old tramroad was correct? (Hear," Yes," and -1 No.") He merely asked the ques- tion as a matter of great local interest; and he would say it was a shame that through such courses as their hon. member had puvtued any trade should have been diverted. (Hear, hear.) Much had been said about the mis- irianagerrent at the dock; but-however much that com- pany deserved ce -sure, there were others who had been more to blame for the diversion ef the trade from New- port. And again, he said, it reflected very much on their member. (Cheers.) Mr. W. GRAHAM rose amidst a volley of groans and hisses and confusion. He said they were met oil a very important occasion. He was glad to see Mr. Bailey present, for he (Mr. Graham) would rather say what he intended before him than otherwise. He had received a communication on that day in reference to their mem- ber, and from his own recollections, which must be fresh in the minds of many others, he found that on the 2nd of January, 1852, Mr. Bailey, when he addressed the electors ot the boroughs, said, "I will support every liberal measure, and I will never give the electors cause to regret their choice"—(" So lie did ;")—and he also said at that time Whenever you find me not doing my duty towards you, turn me out." (Hear, hear, "Turn him out.") He (Mr. Graham) would ask the electors if Mr. Bailey had done his duty? ("No," and "Yes" from a small jpaity of the hon. member's friends.) On the occasion of the last election, Mr. Bitiley again said in his address I will fulfil my duty faithfully towards this, borough." Had he done "?-t" No no," "Yes" and great uproar.) At another time he (Mr. Bailey) went on to say that he would do all in his power to ad- vance the local interests. He (Mr. Graham) would ask, had he done so? (" Not at all.") Had his duties in parliament been fairly attended to ? (" No," Yes," and confusion.) Mr. Graham then went on to say that in looking over different returns from the House of Com- mons, he found that whenever any measure of importance was before the house, there was a mark against their hon. member s name denoting that lie was absent. (Hear and lushes.) The first thing, they would find his vote in a minority of nineteen oil the question whether the war with Russia should be carried on or not. Mr. Bailey went to parliainetit to represent the conservative interests. He (a-r. Granant) asserted that conservatism is not for the interests ot i .e Monmouthshire boroughs. (Hear, hear, and cheers ) After a few more pertinent remarks, Mr. Graham saId: I ei.i.m to indict him for not redeem- ing his pledge given to the electors ')y doing his duly. I indict liim, hi t, en the ground of non-attention secondly, on the < i that he has not voted in accord- ance with hio and thirdly, that lie has always voted for co e measures. And therefore I say that he is not t y of our confidence. (Hear, hear, loud cheers, and uproar.) He then mo/ed the following resolution :— ° 16 That for the seven years during which JUr, Crawshay Bailey has sat in parliament for these boroughs, his votes upon measures brought before the house have very rarely tKcn in accordance with the views entertained by the electors, and on r.ia-iy occasions in direct opposition j tlu-nto; wiiilat h: total neglect or the local interests of Newport have been so manifest, and the injurious effects thereof so serious, that this meeting declares that hci',is no longer entitled to the confidence of the electors."

In all the important matters affecting their interests, or in any of their difficulties, had Mr. Bailey ever given them his presence or his consideration ? (" No, no.") Had he even come forward in their behalf? ("No.") Mr. Bailey ♦ho m! ^em that it was not through his conduct that n m,nisy ^ron Company were eompelled to go to V v' J he wouId say that if Mr. Bailey had aone nis duty, they wonld not have seen seventy, eighty, or a hundred strong and able-bodied men going daily up Stow-hill to break stones for 7d. or 8d. a day. (Hear, near, and cheers.) He hoped they would have an expla- nation from Mr. H. J. Davis in respect to the Rhymney road. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Brown then recapitulated what he formerly asserted respecting the twenty-six years which elapsed between the meeting of the Rhymney Tramroad Company. He then alluded to the banquet given to Mr. Bailey in that room, when songs were sung and bottles were emptied, but many of those who were present did not pay for their tickets. (Laughter, cheers, and hisses.)' Mr. Bailey had opposed the introduction of the ballot, and therefore it was plain from what ap- peared to be the popular feeling, that if he rested his chances for a seat on any hope entertained by the people that he would vote in its favour, he would not again sit for the boroughs. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Brown) was for the ballot,-(cheers)-and the day was not far distant when the ballot would be the Jaw of the land. (Loud cheers.) He spoke in expressive terms condemning the defeated government reform measure as a most miserable thing, which attempted to disfranchise a large body of intelligent men. And he asked if it was not the opinion of the meeting that there were many working men in Newport equal in intellect to Mr. Crawshay Bailey? (Cries of Plenty," loud cheers, and a voice "Turn him out.") He the:1 spoke at some length .respecting his own views of what a reform bill, to meet the advanced state of society and the intellect of the working classes, should be, which elicited loud applause. Lord John Russell had some time ago proposed that ,e6 householders in boroughs should be entitled to vote at elections. Why f.°", not. such a proposition be adopted ? (A voice'- u What will you do with the freemen ?» Another voice Why sack them like we will you." Loud laughter and uproar.) He thought the resolution proposed by Mr. Graham an excellent one, and advised the meeting to adopt it. (Loud cheers.) Mr. G. WILLIAUS, on rising, said the meeting seemed to be Mr. Bailey's meeting, because all the speeches seemed to have been directed to him. He was going, to speak for him. (Cries of turn him out," and uproar.) [Mr. Williams for a considerable time, and with com- mendable patience, stood expecting the storm to subside, but the fury of the political element would not abate, and he was reluctantly forced to stand down amid cries of "Homfray."] Mr. HOMFRAY, who was cheered en rising, said it was not until that day that he knew there was to be a meet- ing oil the important matter before them, and therefore he was unprepared to ad 'ress them. But has he had been called to do so he should he wanting in courtesy if he refused, even were they to ask him to select a member to represent them in parliament. (Hear.) What had been said about the Rhymney road was true, but be did not believe that it was Mr. Bailey's fault, and therefore he would ask them to return him. (Lond uproar.) The proper course woulld be to get —(here the confusion drowned the voice ot the speaker.) ILA man nafoed Kenvin pimped upon the platform, and in a very violent and ludicrous manner attempted to address the meeting, amidst much uproar.] Mr. BAILEY rose amidst great confusion and cries of "hear him." He asked if they would retitrn him again ? ("No!) If they would, he (Mr. Bailey) would give them his best considerations. ('- You said that before," and laughter.) He told them seven years aero that he would do it. (" You did, but yon It .v not. "),RfTe would pledge himself to vote for the £ 10 suffrage—(hear, and n laugh,)—when it was brought before the House. (L_augh- >er and uproar.) Had he not voted for the abolition of Church Rates? Mr. Bailey proceeded at some ind with a great deal of persistence, in the 1,1 J much uproar and confusion, to vindicate himself, but his words were, for the most part rendered unintelligible. He said the Rhymney Tramroad was made before t.ie Monmouthshire Railway, and what use was it to convert it into a railway then. The MAYOR said this is a most important matter to every one in the town, and I will put it to your Soocl sense to give Mr. Bailey a fair hearing. (Cheers.) Mr. BAILEY said he would call on Mr. Latch to say that he had always been treated fairly in his transactions with the Rhymney Tramroad. Mr. LATCH said he had never received fair treatment. (Hear, hear, and uproar.) the Mr. BAILEY proceeded to say, can we command the winds which has kept ships from corning here, that there is such a great cry about the falling off in trade, anc* who is to blame for it. (" Crawshay Bailey.") He wem a vote for the Jew Bill if they would elect him. (' and laughter.) If he %vished to stand for the boroogns every man would vote for him. ("Oh, oh," and c0,u" sion.) Mr. James Brcwn had said as much, in effect that he (Mr. Bailey) was elected through bribery, declared that he never gave a single sixpence. He would not be afraid to face his constituents and they would come forward to support him. ("No .and uproar*) He would Ieaye himself in their hands,' for he did not see mischief in any cf theii faces, not even in that of ^-r- James Brown. (Laughter.) James Brown. (Laughter.) come forward to support him. ("No .and uproar*) He would Ieaye himself in their hands,' for he did not see mischief in any cf theii faces, not even in that of ^-r- James Brown. (Laughter.) A show of hands for the resolution was then taken, winch gave at least ten to one. There was a small number of hands against it. Mr. LYNE rose to ask shall Mr. C, Bailey be returned a member for tne borough, or shall he not'V returned ? (Loud cries of "He shall not," and uproar) K 'Jr' Bailey vvere returned, he would not obtain his seat by the voice of the people. (Cheers.) But should he be returned, he (Mr. Lyne) hoped he would do more for his consti- tuents than he had already done. He would make a few remarks on what his friend Mr. Homfray had said. He held Mr. Homfray m great respect; but differed from him in trying to return Mr. Bailey to parliament. Homfray had also said his principles are conservative, and therefore they coiud never look for a libe-al member at his hands. (Hear ) He would return to M> Bailey- That gentleman had said, with a o-reat (ieal of good humour, that they would return him" If ]ie thought so, it was said with a feeling of jreat discredit to them, for Ire thought there were about 1000 persons i» the room. (Cries of "Nonsense.") What did they do when New- port was but .a small town—when Monmouth and Vsk, as large as now, were against them in the liberal interest ? Why, they returned a liberal member (Lo?d cheers.) Mr. Bailey had told them that if they would return him he wouid give them his consideration Whv the veriest tory would do that Mr. Bailey had said"he had pro- posed a bill to Lord Derby; U wag the first time that he Mr. Lyne) ever knew Mr. Bailey proposed to Lord Derby. (Laugmer.) He had read ail the parliamentary reports in the Times-he took the Thncs every day, the second day after publication, for ]le vvas n(/t able to afford it on the same day but he had never enjoyed the pleasure of seeing any oj theiflion. member's speeches. (Hear hear.) Mr. Bailey had promised to vote for the £ 10 franchise, which fce would propose to Lord Derby. It would be a very fine thj fo). {he noble lord to say,' Mr. Lailey, you proposed the £ 10 franchise when it was a well-known fact that many years ago, long before Mr. Bailey sat in parliament, Mr. Locke King proposed to introduce the £ 10 franchise measure. (Hear, hear.) Then Mr. Bailey claimed to have voted in favour of the Jews. They had already seen something of the way he itouid vote for them. Who was it that attempted to stop Jews from voting in Newport ?_w|iv Bailey's agent. (Hear, hear.)) Mr. Bailey had said lie would leave himself in their bands, which he (Mr. Lyne) took it meant that he would resign all pretensions to a chance for the representation of the boroughs." (Cheers.) He would advise, in a matter of such great importance as the choosing of a representative in parliament that they be not too hasty to propose any gentleman he therefore moved "that the .meeting be adjourned to that-day week." Tlie motion way seconded by Mr, John Davies, and carried. Mr. B A ILLY rose to reply to Mr. Lyne, but he was hissed down. Mr. H. J. DAMS offered some explanations, partly denying hb statement as understood in the Town Council- He said my words were, Mr. C. Bailey is a large share- holder in the Old Rhymney Railroad, but 1 never said that Mr. Octavius Morgan and Sir Charles Morgan had carried. c, Mr. B A ILLY rose to reply to Mr. Lyne, but he was hissed down.

I believe that Mr. Bailey was the first to propose that it should be so converted." (Hear, hear, cheers, and uproar.) A vote of thanks with three cheers to the Mayor and the speakers on the liberal closed the proceedings..
NEWPORT TOWN COUNCIL.
NEWPORT TOWN COUNCIL. The ordinary meeting of the Watch Committee and Board of Health, was held on Tuesday; present, the Mayor (in the chair), and Messrs. Homfray, Latch, Burton, Mullock, Edwards, Brown, Town send, Lyne, J. Davies, H. J. f)avis, Morgan, Jones, Harrhy, Graham, Moore, and Hyndman. The police receipts for the last month were £ 33 9s. 3d., and expenses tl2 3s. 6d., leaving a balance paid over to the borough fund of X21 5s. 9d. Mr. Purkiss, a publican, having appealed against a decision by the borough magistrates in a charge 'brought by the Superintendent, the meeting authorised the Town Clerk to defend on the Super- intendent's behalf. Mr. Townsend most vigorously opposed the measure. P.C. Sutton sought to be reinstated to position and pay, having been reduced in the ranks last December for drunkenness. His conduct since had been uniformly good. After an opposition by Messrs. Townsend, Graham, Moore, Edwards, and Lyne, the application was granted by a majority of six. An application from the officers of the Borough Police for indemnification for expenses incurred in pursuit of offenders, was laid before the meeting. Mr. H. J. ÐAVIS said the county would not allow I any part of those expenses, the borough bearing its own police expenses. He stated that Curtis, the detective, had incurred upwards of £5 entirely out of his own pocket. The Town Clerk said the magistrates in Quarter Sessions had specified the allowance to be borne by the county, and it would be for the council to bear their own. Mr. TOWNSEND made another onslaught on the police expenses and on the police officers. He said it was a pretty thing for the magistrates to make out orders for payments which cost them nothing, and also for their polieemen to go hunting for thieves and making out what expenses they chose. Mr. HCOTTTRAY had no doubt the charges were eorrect. (Hear, hear.) It was ultimately agreed, on the motion of Mr. H. J. Davis, "That the town-clerk be directed to take the necessary steps to recover for detective officer Curtis the expenses incurred by him in the appre- hension of criminals out of "the borough, refused payment by the treasurer for the county." The Committee of Public Works having recom- mended the restoration of the front of the Town-hall and warming of the cells in the station, an estimate from Mr. Middleton, for 5018 10s. was submitted, and accepted. With regard to the Town-hall front, Mr. Lyne said, there was no doubt the Works Committee were right in recommending its restoration in a certain degree, if only to ensure its safety, but he thought the time was not far distant when a much larger building would be required. He alluded to the people's concerts, which he characterised as highly beneficial to the public, and to the meeting of ratepayers on Monday night, when hundreds were unable to obtain admission. The MAYOR stated that the people were counted by the police as they went down stairs and there was above 950. On the motion of Mr. Moore seconded by Mr. Lyne, it was resolved "That Mr. Thomas prepare specifi- cations of the work and treat for tenders to be sub- mitted at the next meeting." A copy of the memoial from the Mayor and Corporation to Sir Charles Morgan, Mr. O. Morgan, and Mr. C. Bailey in reference to the Old Rhymney Railroad was read by the clerk and also the replies of the individual proprietors. Sir Charles Morgan had not had time to give it much attention Mr. O. Morgan, as an individual proprietor, could do nothing; and Mr. C. Bailey said, he would lose no opportunity in calling Sir Charles and Mr. 0. Morgan together to take the matter into consideration. Mr. Bailey had promised to use his parliamentary influence, in conjunction with all the South Wales members, to secure so desirable an object a sa day mail from London. The Inspector's report was read. The CoHector had paid in since the last report on the Board of Health t94 total £3084, leaving a balance of A?215; and on the drainage £ 32, total £1036, and leaving a balance of £ 87. The Surveyor's report was read.—The surveyor certified work done on the general drainage to the amount of £ 11,050, of which he recommended £ 420 to be paid, less 10 per cent.—Agreed to. It having been recommended in the surveyor's report that twelve hydrants-be ordered, the surveyor was directed to get them placed, according to his judgment, where most required. A letter in reference to the railings in front of the Merlin office was read, in which it was stated that the landlord of the premises agreed to their removal and to subscribe 50s. towards widening the pave- ment.—Accepted. A letter was read from the secretary to the Mon- mouthshire Railway and Canal Company, respecting the notice to pave in front of their premises in Dock- street, requesting that the plan be marked where required to be flagged, and sent to the board of di- rectors. Mr. H. J. DAVIS moved that the plan be sent as marked, telling Mr. Harrison that the company were only compelled by the Act to pave in front of build- ings, but the hoard hoped the company would extend it tnroughout. (ITear, hear.) Mr. GRAI-IAJI seconded the motion, which was agreed to. Mr. MOORE asked if any decision had been arrived 11 respecting the six drinking fountains proposed by him at a previous meeting, upon which a discussion of nearly an hour's duration ensued, and it was ulti- mately agreed that one fountain should he erected by the corporation, and that Mr. Moore be requested to find a suitable place. Some other matters were attended to. and the board adjourned.
CARDIFF BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
CARDIFF BOARD OF GUARDIANS. Weekly meeting, April 9th E. David, EsrJ., in the chair. A long list of articles was presented by the master, which included ironmongery and other arti- cles of a kind. The master also reported on several matters, one of which was that an able-bodied servant was required in the kitchen; that some of the yards required paving: and that a shoemaker was needed to repair shoes. There were 245 inmates in the house. Mr. John having been called in, he stated that it was a paid cook who was wanted, and that formerly the cook used to get 3s. a-week and the bones. Some of the guardians thought there should be no more perquisites, and that £ 10 a year would be a fair salary to give. It was said that the female now in the house acting as cook was a widow having one child, and she was capable of ful- filling the situation. Mr. WILLETT said it was not advisable to appoint a pauper—they had better get a stranger. He moved that they advertise for a cook The Clerk Then that would open the old ques- tion as to what paper they should advertise in. Rev. H. THOMAS The Guardian and Star of Gisenf. That course was opposed by several guardians, who thought the present cook might be appointed. Mr. WII,LEXT said they might appoint her if they liked, but he would make them go over it again. (Disapprobation.) Mr. TWIGO: We want to do what is right and honourable, and for peace. Rev. H. IHOHAS We shall have peace next week. (Laughter.) Mr. D. Lr,%i,i,, If she had done everything pro- per, why not appoint her ? The question was deferred. Mr. CORY drew attention to the fact that the visit- ing committee had not done its duty by recording anything of what it had done. He thought they ought to give an account of their stewardship. There was a conversation on the subject, but it did not result in anything. Mr. WIIXETT said he wished to ask Mr. Paine a question—whether he bad not, both by himself and his apprentice, canvassed the ratepayers in the parish of St. Mary ? (Dissent.) Mr. E. W. DAVID thought that was not a matter .for the guardians to take cognisance of. Mr. WILLETT was astonished to bear such a doc- trine as that the board could not take cognisance of the acts of its officers. In these matters an officer of the board ought not to interfere directly or indirect- ly. He had a letter in his hand stating as a fact that Mr. Paine had interfered. If it were so it was a very indecent act. (Diapprobation.) Mr. JESKIN JONES Is that an anonymous letter ? Mr. Paine Mr. Willett has asked a question. Mr. E. W. DAVID 1 wish you not to answer it. Mr. WILLETT: Have you some feeling iu it? The CHAIRMAN said it was competent for Mr. Paine to refuse if he thought proper. Mr. Wiiiri TT: Will you leave Mr. Paine to do as he lilies ? Mr. Paine was quite ready to answer Mr. Willett's question, if the board wished him. 1 Rev. H. THOMAS moved that Mr. Paine be silent. Mr. JENKIN JONES: I second it. Mr. WILLETT As you always do. (Laughter.) Mr. Paine then referred to what Mr. Willett stated at a recent meeting respecting his (Mr. Paine) being at the late investigation. Dliring that inquiry he made application to Mr. Graves, and begged to be allowed to go home and attend to his duties, as the health of many, and possibly the lives of others were to some extent dependent upon his services. Mr. Willett heard him make the application, and he must have heard Mr. Graves say that he could not be excused and must remain; and he did remain, excepting one half hour, when Mr. Graves gave him liberty. That was a serious inconvenience to him, yet Mr. Willett at that public meeting made some comments upon neglecting his duties to attend the investigation. (" Shame.") He was always ready to explain his conduct, but no man should insult him or make false statements without replying to them. (Applause.) Mr. WILLETT Since Mr. Paine had been allowed to travel out of the record, he was bound to reply. It was well known that with regard to the second and third days of the inquiry, Mr. Paine's services would not be required. Mr. Paine bad the opportu- nity of doing what every other medical man did-he might have put himself forward to be examined at the commencement of the inquiry. No doubt Mr. Graves told Mr. Paine that he would be required, as he was summoned, but be could not be heard until the charges against Mr. John were gone through; and as it was well known that the witnesses for the defence would take more than one day, there was no necessity for Mr. Paine to have remained all the time. Mr. Paine had charged for five days, although he was examined on the fourth day. As an officer of the unioo Mr. Paine had no claim to any charge whatever, and it was unfair that the ratepayers should be taxed for t5 7s. 6d, for five days' services. There was no necessity for it whatever, as it was Mr. Paine's duty to be at the workhouse everyday; and he did say it was a vevy indecent thing to accept that £ 5 7s 6d. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Paine said he made no claim. (Here some remark was made by Mr. Willett, and a great hubbub was raised in a moment.) Mr. Paine said he would not be put down by Mr. Willett. (Hear, hear.) Mr. WILLETT begged Mr. Lewis not to be so warm. Mr. LEWIS said he was not warm at all. (Great uproar, and a cross fire been Mr. Willett and Mr. Lewis, and amid cries of Order, order," Mr. Willett reminded Mr. Lewis that he was a borough magis- trate, and ought to behave in a dignified manner.) Mr. Paine said he would put it to Mr. Willett whether Mr. Graves did not give him the reply which he had already stated. As to the £5 7s. 6d. he did not make the claim, and he was not aware what he j had been allowed until informed by the clerk, He had not yet received the money, but he should take I it when he had the opportunity of getting it. He thought the board had no right to expect him to attend the investigation without remuneration, and that which was allowed was little enough. The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Paine was justified in receiving the money, and no one had any right to ask these questions. ? Mr. WILLETT: As a ratepayer, my mouth is not to be stopped. Mr. LEWIS asked why their time was to be taken up by such observations ? (Applause and some angry words followed between Mr. Lewis and Mr. Willett. It was an indeseribable scene of confusion for some moments, the country guardians stamping, and Mr. Lewis shouting at the top of his voice.) The CHAIRMAN: I must, call you to order. Its quite full time to put an end to it. Mr. WILLETT: I will say this—I'll stand here till night but I'll have my say. (Renewed uproar.) The CHAIRMAN Then I shall adjourn the meeting. Everybody then jumped up, and angry words passed between the country and town guardians, in the midst of which Mr. Jenkin Jones expressed his regret that he could not use his stick. A large number of poor were left without having their cases attended to. Thus ended the sittings of the memorable board of 1858-59.
CARDIFF POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CARDIFF POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MONDAY. (Before R. O. JONES, Esq. and Dr. VACHELL.) THE LATE CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—Mr. Owen made an application to the bench that a summons migJlt be issued charging Mr. Superintendent Stockdale and Mrs. Bush with perjury, in the case of Ellen Brad- shaw, who was detained for a whole week in gaol on the evidence which Mr. Stockdale and Mrs. Bush gave. Mr. Jones said he should not grant the application, be- cause it was one of those cases of mistaken identity which would occasionally arise. The persons who gave evi- dence believed, lie had no doubt, they were speaking the truth, and they were still positive they were right in what they had stated. As far as he was concerned, he was quite satisfied at the same time Mr. Owen might renew the amplication, if he thought proper, before Mr. Insole and Dr. Edwards, the other magistrates who heard the case. DRIVING OMNIBUSES AND CABS.—Leonard Richards and Philip Jones were charged with driving omnibuses furiously on the 4th instant. Mr. Bird appeared for the defence. Thomas Cradock, employed by Mr. Llewellyn, of the Talbot Arms, said at ten o'clock on Monday night lie saw the Angel bus standing in Bute-street, op- posite Dr. Pearce's. Witness was ei-ivir, a cab up from the Docks. No one was going past. Mr. R. J. Hulbert, staying at 185, Bute-road, said at half-past nine on Monday night he saw two busses di-irii)g- furiously up the road, and close behind them was a fly-man, also driving fast. The first bus stopped, to take up a pas- senger, the witness believed the second bus, to avoid a collision, pulled to his own side, and there was not room for him to pass. The Sy-man then drove on to the foot- path and knocked a young man down. Believed the buses caused the fly-man to drive on to the foot-path. Believed there was an jomnibus first, then a cab, and two omnibuses following. To the best of his belief the hores were in a gallop. Cradock, recalled, said the Angel bus was before him, and he thought there were others behind him. P.C. 16 was on duty in Bute-road when a cab passed, driving at a furious rate it was going too fast to enable him to take the number, and he did not know the driver, a bus was following it galloDping furiously; and another bus came up also driving furiously—the second bus was, to the best of his belief, the Angel bus. He believed that the first was the Car- diff Arms bus. He went down the road on hearing there had been an accident, and found Mr. West, confectioner, Duke-street, at Mr. Hill's shop very much hurt. Mr. Jones said that the case was in a very unsatisfactory posi- tion, and ordered it to be adjourned until Wednesday. Mr. Bird, on the part of Mr. Cousins, undertook to give every facility for further inquiry. ASSAULT.—Edward Davies was charged with assault- ing Caroline Buchan. This case had been partly heard on Friday and adjourned. Mrs. Susan Thomas stated that Mrs. Buchan came to her house on Saturday week very tipsy; could not get her out and she stayed there that night; she was taken up to an apartment belonging to witness; there was some row there between her and Davies; did not see nor hear anything of it as she was out in-the .yard; saw Mrs. Buchan's face bleeding and had marks on it; Davies was present at the time. De- fendant said that he only defended himself from an at- tack, and called John Thomas, who said that on Sunday morning Davies came izit6 the room when Mrs. Buchan struck at him but missed she sat down for a time and struck him on the face; she did so two or three times; Davies pushed her from him and she fell on the ground her face bled when she got up; she was drunk at the time. Cross-examined Never said that he heard her call for assistance on the previous night. Dismissed. STEALING WEARING APPAREL.—Aaron Webber was charged on suspicion of stealing clothes left to dry on lines in various gardens. Mr. Bird appeared for the pro- secution. P.C. Price stated that in consequence of in- formation received he apprehended prisoner and took his boots off. The boots corresponded with footmarks in a garden from which clothes had been stolen they also corresponded with footmarks in five other gardens. Thomas John stated in presence of prisoner that he was the man he had seen in a garden, but he would not come forward without a summons. Remanded until Wed- nssdtiv* DISORDERLY HOUSE.—David Herbert,_ landlord of the Dinas Arms, was charged with permitting drunken- ness in his house on Sunday morning, at one o'clock. P.C. Price said that he heard a great noise in the house, and went in and found five women and a number of men there, four of whom were lying down asleep and one was bleeding. Cross-examined by Mr. Bird: Did not see the defendant there; a woman said they were all lodgers there were some standing, some sitting, and others lying down, saw no drink there. P.C. 28, who went in with Price, said that he counted twenty men in the house and' one woman lay down drunk there. Mr. Bird submitted that defendant had not knowingly" permitted drunkenness in his house, for it was shown that he was absent at the time. 1'ined l(b. and costs. WEDNESDAY. (Before R. O. JONES, Esq., and Dr. VACHELL.) ROBBERY.—Ellen Donovan was charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of a countryman, who went with her to a brothel on Saturday fortnight. When lID stairs defendant made some excuse to go out for beer, and took his watch from under the pillow. The evidence was not sufficient to convict, and she was discharged. STEALING CLOTHES FROM GARDENS.—A.ron Webber, a returned convict and a well-known character, was charged with three separate offences of stealing clothes from the yards of different-houses, lie displayed a won- derful amount of tact in his manner of cross-questioning the witnesses. The evidence was pretty conclusive of his guilt, and he was committed for trial to the sessions. ASSAULT.—James Welsh was charged with being drunk and assaulting P.C. 28. On Tuesday night de- fendant had quarrelled with his wife, when the constable interfered and received a blow on the mouth. Fined 5S. and costs, or three days. OJINIIUJS CASE.—This case was again gone into at some length. The additional evidence went to show that the accident was not occasioned by the furious driving of the busses, and the case was dismissed. I EXCITEMENT.—Catherine Dempsey was charged with throwing a stone at John Young, a witness in the case of Donovan and Matthews, and with using obscene lan- giu ge. Fined 5s. and costs, or three days.
