REBECCA. MONDAY EVENING—Notwithstanding thesiidden check given on Monday last to Rebecca and her deluded followers, in their attempt on the Carmarthen woik house, each day brings its re- port of some fresh outrage in this or the adjoining county, and it would seem that the daring spirit of resistance to the laws b) which these deluded men have tiitherto been governed, has re- ceived no efficient stop by the proceedings of Monday, nor are they as yet content to submit to the advice of friends or the dictates of reason. No fresh attack has been made either upon the town or workhouse sioce Monday, and with the exception ot the continuance of the excitement necessarily following so daring an outr T«, the town iscoraparatively tranquil and quiet. This day wt or at least during the Monday night, Rebecca and her daughters paid a visit to the two following gates, some distance from Llanbyther, in the county of Carmarthen, viz.. Pencader gate, which they soon destroyed, both gale and toll- house. Exulting in their lawless acts, they proceeded from thence to Llanfihangel- Yeroth gate, which, together with the toll-house, was also demolished. The luuster on this occasion is said to have been about sevenly persons, who soon after the completion of their work dispersed, and retired to their respec- tive homes- On Tuesday night, another division of the family visited the village of St. Clears; they were disguised and armed, and al- though the party was on this occasion smaller than usual, they effected their pui pose in the destruction of the gate in question, which is opposite the Blue Boar inn, and they then proceeded to another gate called Ma swhotand gate, which was also very speedily destroyed. While at St. Clears, an attempt was made by Mr. Powtll, of Penycoed, and Mr. Thomas. currier, to ap. prehend f-ne of the party, but without effect. These gentlemen had the man in safe keeping until his party overtook them, and having beat them violently with the but end of their guns, they were reluctantly compelled to release their prisoners. On Wednesday night a large mob of Rebeccaites assembled themselves together, and having made their arrangements for their purpose, proceeded en masse to Newcastle Emlyn turn- pike-gate, which of course was soon demolished. amid the cheeis and firing of this lawless gang. Caslell-y-rhingill gate, near Llandilo, has also been destroyed, as well as Llaudilo- rwns gate, and a bar near Llanddarog gate. A night or two ago, a gate or bar on the road near Pont-y- berem was destroyed, and every morning we have the histoiy of gate destruction from one part of the country or the other, to an extent that must lead the most sceptical to admit at least that this state of things is really alarming. We have had the mayor and magistrates sitting daily-meeling after meeting of county and borough justices, all impressed with the importance of maintaining the laws inviolate, and the necessity of peace being restored to this once loyal and rural district, and that without any wish to refuse to redress fair grievances. It is commonly reported that Rebecca has sent threatening letters to most of the workhouses in this and the adjoining counties, intimating her intention of paying them a visit, razing the workhouse to the ground, and of ejectingthe paupers therefrom. I This is but a report, the truth of which we cannot vouch for. On Friday night about twelve o'clock, a report reached the ears of the powers that be, that Rebecca's children had com- menced demolishing Glangwilly gate, about a mile and a half from this town. Colonel Love, Major Parlhy, and his well- disciplined troop were speedily mounted, and went off at a slashing pace to the supposed scene of destruction, when it happily turned out that there was no real grounds of alarm ut the town became at once seriously excited, and scores of persons about to retire to rest were seen anxiously following the dragoons to the place of supposed danger and mischief. On Friday morning a company of the 73rd regiment of foot ar- rived in town, under the command of Major Dawson, and are quarted in the union workhouse. Yesterday afternoon the town was again excited, it being enrrently reported that the dragoon* were ordered oft' inunedi ately to another part of the conntry. On enquiry, we found the troops were under orders, and the fact that Col. Powell, M.P., and Lord Lieutenant of Cardiganshire, had arrived in town yes- leiday morning, led to the conjecture that they were to be sta- tioned at Newcastle Emlvn, or in the immediate neighooorhood of Cardigan. They left town about four o'clock, as we are In- formed for Newcastle. I he same evening Earl Cawdor ar- rived by mail, express from London. Colonel Rice Trevor, M.P. for this county, arrived in town some few day* since, to act on bit noble father's behalf as lord lieutenant of the county. He presided at Newcastle Emlyn, at a large meeting of the magistiates and free-holders, on Fiiday last, which was very fully attended. A very large meeting of magistrates, conntj ana borough, was again held on Saturday last, at Carmarthen, bot the busi- ness was of a private nature, and although we have three re- porters from the London press in town they with ourselves weie .hut out. not being or the privileged class, and publicit y per- haps not being required 88 to the matters under discussion. The name, of the persons committed last week to the Bo. rough Gaol are David Thomas, of Rhvdymarchog, m the pa- rish of Newchurch, David Thomas of Pantwrgwm, Treleach, weaver; Job Evans, of Treleach, labourer; for not and as- sault. County-Gaol.—Jonathan Jones, Howell Lewis, Jona- than Lewis, David Evans, David Davies, and John Jones for riot in tbeTallog affair. On Saturday last John Harris of Tallog mill, was brought up before a full bench of magistrates, charged with a riot at the Carmarthen workhouse on the previous Monday, and held to bait in the sum of j £ 400. to answer the charge at the next assizes. Thursday, two o'clock, p.m. ANOTHER GATE DESTROYED BY REBECCA.— Last night, or early this morning, a number of this lady's children proceeded 10 Penygtrn gate, in the parish of Llanegwad, and which is situated on the mail rnad between this place and Llandilo, and a veiy shott distance from Llanegwad village. Tbey com- menced operations with their accustomed weapons, aud in a short time destroyed the gate and afterwards demolished the toll-boase. When the work of destruction was completed they fired fifteen volleys and dispersed.

FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Friday morning, a man named Ezekiel Bailey was at work with several other men, pull- ing down some houses at Lawrence-hill, to make way for the Bristol and Gloucester railway, when the portion of ioof on which he stood gave way, and he was precipitated 'o (he ground with ?uch violence as to occasion his death In five minutes afterwards. The poor lellow had been warned of the danger of his situation, but he unfortunately leglecled the warning.— Bristol Gazette. Some of the prints attribute to Al.

MONMOUTHSHIRE MIDSUMMER QUARTER SESSIONS. These Sessions commenced on Monday last. The following Magistraies were on the Ben ch MR. SERJEANT fADDY, Chairman. Hon. W. Rodney, W. A. Williams, Esq. F. H. Wiliiams, Esq. F. Mc Donnell, Esq. Wm. Curre, Esq. W. Little, Esq. Rev. James Coles, — F. Lewis, Thomas Pope, Charles Marriott, Esq. James Greenfield, Esq. George Goldring, Esq. E. H. Phillips, Esq. Thomas Reece, Esq. Rev, J. B. Davies, — W. L. Morgan, — Thomas Williams, BLACKWOOD LOCK-UP HOUSE. The notice of application for the erection of a Lock-up house at Blackwood having been read, The Rev. W. L. Morgan briefly moved that an order be made for the erection of a lock-up house at Blackwood. Mr. W. A. Williams said that a similar application had been made at the last Sessions, and it had been postponed for six months, in consequence of the state of the finances of the county, arising from the heavy expenses attending the election of the New House of Correction at Usk, and it was then deter- mined to postpone it until the finances would be in a more fa- vourable state. Besides, if they erecied the lock-up house, it would be obligatory on them to appoint a constable, and ht thought this would be introducing the rural constabulary sys- tem in an indirect manner. He had no objection to take theJ motion into consideration next Sessions. Mr. E. H Phillips admitted the necesfilyof a lock-up house at Blackwood,but he said the parish had the power of erecting it under the 3rd and 4th Wm. IV, c. 90, The motion not having been seconded, Mr. Morgan with- drew it. Mr. James Davies, chief constable for the Division of New- port, applied to the Bench to kno* how he should act with re- spect to one of the parishes in his division, from which he had not received the county rate. The Chairman informed him, that the Court had nothing to do with the defaulting parish; that he (Mr. Davies), was bound to pay ihe money. If lie had applied to the Magistrates of his Division, they would have granted him a warrant, and, therefore, he had only to blame himself; he must now pay the money. Mr. Davies said it was a hardship on him to be obliged to advance the money, as this was the second time the same pa- rish had been in default. SURGEON TO MONMOUTH GOAL. The Clerk of the Peace read the advertisement inserted the MERLIN, on this subject, and added that there was but one ap- plication. The application of Mr. George Wilson, of Monmouth as then read, together, with several high testimonials. Mr. W. A. Williams moved that Mr. 1,)00 be appo d surgeon to the county gaol I Mr. E. H. Phillips seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Clerk of the Peace reported that in pursuance of direc- tions from the Building Committee, he had effected a loan of £2.000 from a London Assurance Company, at the rate of 4J per cent. interest, repayable at the rate of £1000 per annum, after the expiration of 12 years. NEW HOUSE OF CORRECTION AT USK. The following report of the committee was rend :— Report of the Building Committee of the New House of Correction. U»k,24th June. 1843. The committee bad hoped to have been able by the end of this week, to report that all the works connected with this pri- son, were finished, and the whole of the furnituie delivered. Messrs. Wilcox and Sons have completed their contract, but some ot the works which we conSldeled it desirable (certainly most economical), to place in the hands oflucal tradesmen are still unfinished part owing to the late unusually wet weather, which has prevented our having a sufficient supply of stone and part owing to dilatoriness and neglect on the part of some of them. The committee feel quite justified, however, in assu- ring you, that by this day week the whole of the works within the prison (except such as are specidlly reserved for execution by the prisoners) will be completed, and the furniture deli- vered so that on the following Monday the 3rd of July the prison can be occupied by its iutended inmates. The walls are perfectly dry and we believe there can be no risk as to the health or security of the prisoners. We have to report that the works undertaken by Messrs. Wilcox have (with two or three exceptions which are in course of amendment) been executed in a sound and substantial man- ner to the true intent and meaning of their contraci. They have been constantly andcaretully overlooked by Mr. Laurie, the clerk of the works, to whose intelligence and zeal we bes here to offer our strongest testimony. The heating apparatus, erected by Mr. Price (whose emplovment at Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, the new Royal Exchange, and many other public works and prisons, affords, in our opinion, a good guarantee to the county for the superiority of his system), has quite iealised our requirements as legards the power of ensu- ring a certain degree of warmth and we have no reason to doubt its perfect efficacy as regards the ventilation. On this point, Mdjor Jebb entertains some doubt. It is a question which can only be solved by experience, when the prison is occupied. It, however, it is found that the results obtained at the Oxford and Huntingdon Gaols are not fully realized in our case, we have, by the application of the principle of the screw propeller, at an expense of £ 60., a portion of which will be borne by Mr. Price, the power of ensuring the abstraction from t;ie several foul air flues, of at least 1000 feet of vitiated air per minute: an allowance in proportion to the number of prisoners quite equal to that recommended by the prison inspectors. t'here is no transmission of sound through the flues. We find by the book of disbursements, that the total expen diture up to this day, has been £ 17012. 12s. 3d.; and we add a statement of the several accounts and halances still unpaid, amounting to C3328 4s. 9!d. which give a total outlay of £ 20,340.17s. 0^d. This expenditure we have analyzed, and classed under the following heads, viz. £ b. d. 1. Purchase of scite, and expences connected therewith 675 14 2 2. Total expenditure connected with the prison, governor's house, chapel, labour sheds, piinci- pal boundary wall, &c. 16,074 4 2 (In which is inciuded an amount of X1500 incurred in consequence of raising the whole building two feet, lowering the cel- lars, and increasing the quantity of cellar room. Additional cost in piocuring a rapid and sufficient supply of stone, and a sum of at least 1,400. beyond that calculated for the quantity of stone, owing to the unex- Ki waste in working it. It also in- cludes the cost of ten more cells than were originally estimated, and some cells or rooms for the reception of first class misde- meanor prisoners.) 3. Expenditure connected with the heating and ventilating 1159 4 8] (Including £37. 12s. 6d. for coals and at- J u'en e 011 ,'le fires.) U,orks ouls'de the main boundary wall, le- velling enclosures, railing, &c* 238 8 5 5. rixtuies, fittings, and furniture 9J0 13 5 o. Architect's commission, at 5 per cent., as determined, upon £ 17,500- 875 0 0 7. Clerk of the works 387 12 2 Making a total of £20,340 17 01 In the consideration of this outlay, the magistrates will per- I haps consider it but reasonable to direct the value of the present prison and its site, which cannot be placed at less thar jgtOUO., thus leaving to the county the cost uf the new prison at £ 19,340. 17s. Oid. ) The amount which we stated to the court at the last Quarter Sessions, as that which would probably have to be provided was £ 20,247. 10s. 6d. This excess of £93, 6s. 6Ad, of actual expenditure arises from the introduction of three additional iron gates, suggested by Mr. Gardiner, the Governor of the Bristol Gaol, the introduction of a stone dtying closet, in con- nection with the laundry-from adoptiog an iron in front of the prison wall next the road,instead ofa low wall,-from some addi- tional articles of furniture thought necessaly-and from its having been considered desirable to retain the services of Mr. Lawrie, for one month from this time, a decision which we be- lieve will be found very beneficial, as it will enitble him to assist the Governor, in so distributing the prisoners' work as most readily to complete the few works reserved for them. The committee th nk it desirable to call the attention of the court to the subject of lighting the prison and cells, a subject strongly dwelt upon by Sir James Graham, in his last circular to the magistracy. The committee recommend that they be authorised to apply to the Secretary of State, for his sanction to the cells being used for the separate confinement of the prisoners when re- moved to the new House of Correction, pursuant to the 2nd and 3rd Vic., c. 56. The committee, in conclusion, feel it to be due to the architect, Mr. Thomas A. Wyatt, to express their unqualified approbation of his conduct in the superintendence and direction of the works. And they have also much pleasure in acknowledging his constant attention and trouble in the investigation and ap- Llc plication of the various improvements and suggestions in refer- ence to the proposed new system of prison discipline. W. A. WILLIAMS. June 26th, 1843. THOMAS REECE. Mr. W. A. Williams said that an order of Session: had been made to remove the prisoners from the Old House of Correction to the uew, as soon as the laiter was ready, and that was suffi- cient authority for the visiting magistrates. By the 2nd and 3rd Vic. cap. 56, the separate system could not he carried out in any prison, unless the cells were of a certain size and construc- tion, warmed and ventilated in a certain manner, and unless the prison was inspected snd approved of by an officer appoint- ed by the Secretary of State; that officer had been down and approved of everything except that the cells were not artificially lighted. The prisoners however might be removed, and the prison conducted as one on the old system, but it could not be conducted on the separate system until all the lequlle. ments were complied with, and the gaol certificated by the pro* per officer. A Magistrate said, at Bristol Gaol the separate system was carried on without the certificate. Mr. Williams Yes, but the regular mode would be to have the certificate. The following orders were then made :— Ordered-That the same gentlemen be re-appointed the Committee of Management and superintendence of the building and completion of the New House of Correction at Usk. That such committee be authorised to apply to the Secretary of State for his sanction to the cells being used for Ihe separate confinement of theprisnoers when removed there, pursuant to the 2nd and 3rd Vic., c. 56, s, 4. NEW PRISON RULES. L The Visiting Justices of the County Goal, reported that they had adopted for the use of that prison, certain of the regula- tions for the general government of goals, published by the Se- cretary of State, which they recommended to the adoption of the Court. Some discussion occurred respecting the form in which this report should be adopted, and it was determined ihat the propositions comprised in it should be submitted to the Court seriatim. 1 hi3 being done they were respectively agreed to, some of the Justices seeming to consider that the re- port embodied a general acceptance of the Secretary's regu lations. r Mr. Mc Donnell desired that this point should be well un- derstood, because it appeared to him that before so voluminous a code should be permanently adopted, it was but fair and rea- sonable that the Justices generally should have a full opportu- nity of considering them, and therefore that a copy of such re- gulations should be sent to each of the Justices. To him, how- ever, it appeared that the report was limited to such as wert- particularly mentioned. It could not be gravely contended that so important a measure a* the adoption of ail the regula- tions, about 200 in number, was to be by implication or paren- thesis. If, however, it was otherwise understood, then he should propose that part of the report should be laid on the ta- ble, and taken into consideration at the next Sessions. Mr. Williams, of Langibby, said if such a motion were car- ried, it would of course affect the report he was about to pre- sent from the Visiting Justices of the Bridewell, and in that case it would be necessary to suspend the measmes then in pro- gress for the occupation of that prison, as it had be^n found ne- cessary to adopt and act upon them. Mr. Me Donnell requested that report to be read and ex- pressed his willingness to concur in the temporaly adoption of all the regulations, if it were thought desirable by the Visiting Magistrates. The report was then read. It slated that the Visiting Jus- tices had found it expedient to avail themselves temporarily of the Secretary of State's regulatious for the government of the Bridewell, but that they proposed to present at the next Ses- sion a full code for final consideration. Upon this a discussion took place, and the Rev. Francis Lewis and others of the ma- gistrates, expiessed their opinion that time should be given to consider of the regulations before they were finally adopted for the Bridewell, but it appeared to them that fiom the terms of the report the adoption of the regulations wasonly temporary. Mr. Williams said that such was not his understanding of the report; he undmstood that such regulations, with some altera- tions which had been presented at the last Sessions, had been finally received j the Visiting Magistrates merely proposed to add some other more minute details, and to lay the whole before the Court at the next Sessions. He wished, however, that it there were an objection to any particular rute that it should now be discussed. A notice had been given by Mr. Me Don- nell, at the January Sessions, that when the prison regulations uere to be finally considered he should move that one of them which gave power to the Chaplain of the Gaol to read the let- ters of the prisoners should be expunged, and that the power to do so, should be confined to the gaoler. nHe thought that this was the time for discussing that point. Mr. Mc'Dounell said he certainly meant to move on that notice, but he considered that the proper time for it would be when the new code came finally underconsideration; such were the express terms of his notice, and he had acted upon it ac- cordi'igly. He was not then prepared to enter upon the subject. Mr. Little thought it would be desirable, at all events (hat the grounds of objection should now be laid before the Court and this suggestion being supported by the Chairman, Mr! Mc'Donnell expressed his readiness to acquiesce in what ap peared to be the general feeling, and to proceed, although he was quite unprepared, throwing hlm,elf for that reason on the indulgence of the court. The first difficulty in his way was that in regard to the par. ticular rule in question he was objecting to that extent to the report of a committee of gentlemen to whom their brother ma- gistrates had delegated a part of their public duties. As a ge- neral rule, such a report was entitled to much respect, but in this particular case, it was well known that the committee, and their honourable Chairman more especially had taken more than usual pains with their report; but he felt that on this oc. casion it was his duty to object to the rule in question how- ever, be was much relieved by the reflection that this rule did not originate with the committee, but was adopted by them from the printed rules of the Secretary of State's Office. It was the 130th of those rules and he proposed to have it ex- punged. By this rule the Chaplain was to have power to in- spect all the correspondence of the prisoners without distinc- tion of creed. Now the objection to this rule might he consi- dered as partaking, in some measure, of a religious character; and he must confess. that be would rather the objection had been made by some other magistrate, but he must say be thought it would be an extremely vexatious regulation as regarded prisoners, who might not be members of the Established Church. He spoke more particularly of those who might be professors of his own creed. Roman Catholics were in the habit of cor- responding with the ministers of their own church, in questions of conscience; and it would be a great hardship if the clergy- man of another church should have a right of censorship over such correspondence. As regarded all opinions, be thought it was an unnecessary and vexatious rule. Granting, as he must that the correspondence of the prisoners sho,!ld, for the security of the prison, be submitted to some inspection, the proper in- spector Was the Gaoler, the person responsible for that security. By a distinct rule, in the proposed regulations accordinglv, tbat power was also given to the Gaoler, who was re9ulred 10 ex- ercise it. To the Gaoler there could be no objection, his office betn.; of a secular not a religious character; but the Chaplain wonidstandinadirTerent liglit before the prisoners. It might be said thit the Chaplain would not make a vexatious use 01 his power. With reference to the highly respectable gentleman who had been lately appointed, be knew that be woold not abuse it. But in adopting a regulation, which, if it received the sanction of this court, and shollld afterwards receive that of the Home Secretary, would become irrevocable, you should legislate in refeience to principle not to an individual; and indeed, however discreetly and kindly it might be exercised, it would, nevertheless hang in terrorem over the prisoners. It had been stated that the regulation in question never was used, in fact. Did not that shew that it was not necessary ? As an- other proof that it was not required, the Shrewsbury rules (which in other respects had formed the model of those which were now recommended), had left out the one in question. He believed it was not adopted at other prisons, and he thonght thai these ciroumstances all tended to shew that this regulation, not heing at present obligatory, but having been submilled to the consideration of the Justices of other counties, had been by them rejected perhaps as useless,—hut most probably be- cause such a resolution would be obnoxious perhaps to all the prisoners but obvioualy to those not belonging to tbe Church of England, without necessity or advantage. This motion not being seconded was withdrawn by Mr. Mc Donnell, for the present, to be renewed at the next sessions, The Usk report was then confirmed in the same manner as the other. The following orders were then made :— That the report of the visiting magistrates of the House of Correction at Usk be received, and that the regulations of the Secretary of Slate, as altered by them to suit the peculiar cir- cumstances of the new house, be adopted by the court for the temporary government of the same. That the visiting justices do prepare a more detailed code of rules for the government of the said prison, and refer the lame to the uext Quarter Sessions. That the letter of the Secretary of State to the chairman, to- gether with Ihlj regulitions submitted by him, be again referred to the visiting magistrates of the gaol at Monmouth, and that they be empowered to adopt such portions of the regulations as may to them seem expedient in the gaol under their super- intendence, and report to the ensuing sessions the result of their consideration 01 the above communication and regulations. COUNTY GAOL. The following report from the visiting justices was read To the Magistrates Assembled in Quarter Sessions, Usk. GENTLEMEN,— We have the honour to report that we have adopted in the gaol, at Monmouth, the diet proposed by Sir James Graham's last lUle, and we trust that it will be attended with benefit. The gaol has been very healthy, and the difference in ex- pense to the county, taking the average of 50 pruoners, for one week is about eight shillings a week in favor of the new diet and in favor of the county. We engaged the services of a female named Mary Perry, on a salary of ten shillings a week and her washing to assist the matron as turnkey and as school-mistress to the females under confinement. We are so well satisfied wtth her conduct, that we propose continuing her in her present situation, on the same allowance, if it meet the sanction of the court- The new regulations, which we stiongly recommend to the court for adoption, render it imperative on us to employ a school-mistress in the gaol One of the new reguia ions will deprive the keeper of the eaol of a source of emolument which existed at the time of our engaging the services of Mr. Barrett., as lie will no longer be permitted to let to hire, some of the rooms of the gaol to debtors of a higher quality than common, which the old re. gulations authorised, and it will be proper, pel haps, for the couit io take the point into immediate consideration We have had two water closets made in the gaol, and which ^0d12^1.SUffiClent 'he Purp0se' at au expense of M'r.

Mr Barrell, governor of the county gaol, having applied for an increase of salary, in consequence of being deprived of the u&e,°. four rooms In the gaol, which weie accustomed to be let to neutort, and which were now appropriated to the use of the gaol, he was examined as to the value of these rooms to the gao er, wht'n he staled that ih>-y had constantly been let at the rate of 4s a week each. He had lost altogether £52 per annum by the arrangement. He had given £ 16 to Mr Ford, etessor» ^or furniture which was ia ihosc rooms. Ordered, thai the application made to the court by Mr Bar- rett for an increase of £50 per annum to his salary, on the ground of being deprived by the Secretary of State's regula- tions of the benefit derived by letting of rooms to debtors, be taken into consideration at the next sessions, and be advertised by the Clerk of the Peace in the mean-iime. That the visiting magistrates of the county gaol be prepared at the next sessions with a statement of the remuneration re- ceived by Mr Barrett, since his appointment, for the use of rooms let to debtors, in order to the better consideration of his application for an increase of salary. That George Cave, Esq., be added to the list of visiting ma- gistrates to the gaol at Monmouth.

N COUNTY RATE. r ere that a rate of three-balfpence in the pound be levied for the ensuing quarter. r r SALMON FISHERY OF THE USR EXTENSION OF FENCE TlMB. The c.:lerk of the Peace having read the notice which ap' peared in tie IIEULIN, from Mr Corne!iu> Evans, one of the contietvators of the tiver Usk, of his intention to apply to this session or an extension of the fence time, from and after the u ay c o er, and to end on the last day of Februaty, in every year tespeciiveiy, Mr hf'ilraove.^ 'hat the fence time be extended, in ac- cordance with the notice rend Mr Evans was present, and was prepared to give any expla- nations on the subject ihe magistrates desired. ° r J. ihe evi S said 1')al the aPPIicant must show the ne. cessity for the extension. Mr Mostyn said he appeared on behalf of Mr C. H. Leigh. who was proprietor of twelve miles of the fishery cn the river, and whose interests would he seriously affected by the proposed change. f Mr Greenfield "°u'd put it t0 the court, whether Mr Mostyn —who was not a barrister—could appear 121 T 0l,,ain ^nce •' » rister, there not being one m the town. Mr McDonnell said that when a proposed measurts would be prejudicial to the 'aternti of ,n individual, he might appear nis solicitor, when there w„ no b„rrj « PH ,„p.ri.r -"• pr.c«<* ,0 mil in the absence ot counsel. Mr Coles wished it to be decided, whether or not Mi Mostyn j should be heard. Mr McDonnell said, whan barristers are present, they are entitled to precedence. The Court decided that Mr Mostyn should be heard. The Chairman then called on Mr Evans to proceed with his application. Mr Evans said, he was taken by surprise, as it was only last night that he was made aware that any opposition would be offered. Mr Evans then proceeded to read a letter from Mr Yarrell-a high authoiity on the subject—to show the necessi'y of extending the fence time, in order to protect the breed of salmon, when Mr Mostyn stated that that letter was not evidence. Mr Coles was not acquainted with rules of evidence, and should be permitted to prove the necessity as he best could. Mr Evans then proceeded to state that at the October sessions of 1840, he had made an application to extend the fence time, which was granted and this extension had been attended with very beneficial effects. He now sought to increase the benefit, by extending the fence time, so as to include the whole period while salmon were in an unseasonable state.- In Breconshire, the fence time extended to the last dav of February and he wished the same rule to be adopted here, that the protecting time should be uniform in the whole course of the river. During the months of February and October, a new fish might occasionally be caught, but for the most part, salmon were in a state unfit for food. Mr. E. H. Phillips here spoke from the Bench to Mr. Mos- tyn, when Mr. Coles called Mr. Mostyn to order. Mr. Phillips said he had spoken to Mr. Mostyn, and he had a right, as a magistrate, to do so. Mr. Coles said that whi-n he saw a solicitor in a case under discussion communicating with a magistrate on the bench, he would object to such conduct on the part of the magistrate, whoever he might be. Mr. W. A. Williams said he would consult whoever he pleased without asking leave. Mr. Evans proceeded to say that if the court would extend the fence time from the 1st of October to the 1st March, they would greatly increase the breed of salmon, and prevent an immense quantity of unseasonable salmon from being taken. Mr. Mostyn said Mr. Leigh had taken every measure he could to prevent the taking of unseasonable salmon, by offering rewards, and other means. Mr. Evans being sworn and examined by Mr. Greenfield, said that during the month of October, and also between the 14th and 28th of Febiuary, he had seen large quantities of un- seasonable fish exposed for sale. Mr. F. H. Williams asked if the Court were justified in in- terfering with Mr. Leigh's private rights. Mi. Coles said it was the first time he heard of Mr. Leigh, and he did not know why he appeared. Mr. Mostyn said he attended to show why Mr. Leigh ape peared. He had purchased from the Crown the exclusive right of 12 miles of the fishery, with which the proposed extension would greatly in!erfere. Mr. Coles thought the extension would be highly beneficial. Mr. Reece said he saw a fine new fish which was taken on the Lt of Oct. last. Mr. J. B. Davis saw also a new fish taken on the 14th of February. Mr. Greenfield said it would be highly beneficial to the owners of the fishery to extend the fence time, for by that means the fish would be allowed to go up the river to deposit their spawn, and to return to refresh themselves in the sea, from whence they would again come up in vast quantities and in fine condition. Mr. W. A. Williams was of opinion that the extension would have precisely the contrary effect. Mr. J. B. Davis was of opinion that it would offer facilities and add temptations to poaching. — Lucas, a fisherman, was then called, and having been sworn, was examined by Mr. Mostyn. He stated that good fish were taken in the months of October and February the extension would be injurious to the fishery, as it would offer temptations to poaching and if the fence time were extended from 4 to 5 months, he could not continue a renter of the fishery at the terms on which he now had it. Another fisherman, also a renter, was called, and corrobo- rated the foregoing testimony. These witnesses were cross-examined by several of the ma. gistrates and by Mr. Evans, and they admitted that in the latter half of February, they take a great many unseasonable fish, which they salt and dispose of, and that on the whole, as many bad as good fish were taken in that period. After much desultoiy conversation, the question was put to the vote, when the following magistrates voted in favour of extension: Mr. Greenfield and the Rev. Messrs. Coles and Pope. The following magistrates voted against it: Messrs. Taddy, Rodney, W. A. Williams, Reece, Phillips, and the Revs. Lewis and J. B. Davis. Four of the other magistrates present declined voting on the occasion. The motion was consequently lost. The court then adjourned to (he following day.

On the arraignment of the pri. sooers, II challenges were made on behalf of the prisoners, and the jurors set aside there were two challenges on the part of the Crown. A jury having been at length sworn, the Reverend Thomas Williams was examined he said: I live at Lanvapley, between Abergavenny and Monmouth there is a place within four miles of my house named Hockfield. On the 19111 of May I had two fallow deer (a buck and a doe) in my grounds they were enclosed on that day in a piece of about i an acre of land they were perfectly tame I saw them on the l&th, and was told they wele gone on the 20th on the 21st, from what I heard, I went into a cot, where I saw some blood, and the yokes which they wore cut through, and from the cot to the lane there were marks of blood the lane runs by within about six paces of the cot.—Cross examined by Mr. Rickards I have kept deer for some time. I bied the buck. There is a hedge on one side of the orchard where they were kept; the lane is deep below the orchard on the other sides there are hedges and iron wires about 5 feet in height. The doe was full ijrown, and the buck one year old the deer had got out of the iirchard I then put yokes on them, and raised the fences: ,e since I so raised ihem, I do not think they got out: Kenchurch park is about 6 miles, I should say, but i am not certain of iht- distance: I believe the road from my house to Kenchurch goe. through Rockfield.—Re-examined by Mr Daniel: YVhenevei they escaped, they only went a short distance, and were imme diately brought back by my servant.-—Benjsmin Hill, exsro'0 by Mr Daniel: 1 am gardener to the Rev.

He was examined at :'fif' length by Mr. Daniel, and slated that between four »° 0Q t o'clock on the morning of the 20ih of May, he walked 'j the Rockfield Road, when he saw Yates riding Mr> g pony, with a halter instead of a bridle, and no saddle, sack before him, which was full of something, and fronr^ blood was dripping.

Mr" fol' ards ably examined him to show that his motive in giving IPflIed niation was partly a quarrel he had had with a man D'11 Clarke, a relative of Fiske, about this very affair, and par b' desire to obtain a reward of £5, which had been said he did not tell all he knew about the case at first, b j0. he wished to shelter Mr. Owen.
