A TREDEGAR BREACH OF PROMISE CASE. In the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, Mr. Justice Hawkins and a common jury ) were occupied on Friday and Saturday with the breach of promise action of Goodman v. Lyons, the plaintiff being the daughter of a Merthyr outfitter and the defendant a ir seller and furniture dealer at Tredegar. Both are Jews. The parties became acquainted when the plaintiff was on a visit in June, 1882. They formed a liking for each other, and ulti- mately defendant's father wrote to plaintiff's father with reference to his son's desire to marry. In that letter the father stated, that he had received a letter from his son on the question, and the father added that he had a good business, and wished to know what dowry the plaintiff's father would give. They after- wards met at Swansea on the 22nd of June, and it was arranged that there should be an engagement to marry, that the dowry of the plaintiff should be X400, and that the betrothal should take place. On the 24th of June the defendant gave the plaintiff an engagement ring. They settled upon a house, and the wedding day was fixed for the 25th of October, bat on the 15th of September plaintiff noticed that defen- dant's manner had altered, and on the 18th defeit, ùnt's father wrote to plaintiff's father to the effect that he had not been satisfied with the match, and that he thought it would be for the happiness of both parties that the match should be broken off. The plaintiff's father wrote to ask for reasons, and the young lady herself also wrote to defendant, You know by this time L have learned to love you, and how can this happen ? I would ten thousand times have preferred death than that I should be the PUBLIC talk. The defendant did not reply. The plaintiff, who appeared to be about twenty years old, and her brother, gave evidence. For the defence, defendant and his father were called to show that defendant was under twenty-one; that the marriage had been arranged by the parents and that defendant was not in a responsible position. His Lordship, in summing up, said he did not wish in any degree to prejudice- the minds of the jury, but he thought under the circumstances of the present case the defence, even if it were a true one, was an exceedingly shabby one and he dared say the jury, as well as himself, would, have been glad if there had been no evidence offered in support of it. However, the law was that if the promise was made before defendant became of a then he was not responsible for his promise, and how- ever much the jury might sympathise with the young lady they had no right to set aside that defence. The jury, after considering for an hour, returned. The Foreman said We feel compelled legally to find for the defendant, yet at the same time express our sym- pathy with the plaintiff, and trust the verdict will not carry costs. On Monday defendant's counsel applied that judg- ment might be entered in accordance with the verdict. Mr. Lionel Hart hoped that if his Lordship gave judg- ment for the defendant it would be without costs, because the jury, although they felt bound in law to return a verdict for the defendant, expressed their strong sympathy with plaintiff, and trusted that their finding would not carry costs. The Judge: I have made up my mind to give judgment for the defendant, but without any costs. At the same time L shall make him pay some costs. The promise of marriage and its breach were as clearly proved as anything could be in this wide, wide world; yet, by the denial of them on the pleadings, he made the plaintiff bring her witnesses up from Wales to prove them. I am of opinion that he deliberately made the plaintiff waste her money, and I, therefore, order him to pay all the costs of, and occasioned by, these traverses, which will include, not only the expenses of the wit- nesses, but a proportional part of the cost of the briefs, fees of counsel, &c. Nor will I give him any costs on the issues on which he succeeded, and for this reason: This young girl knew that when the defendant joined the Freemasons he had positively stated he was of age; consequently, as the promise of marriage was before thia period, she was perfectly justified in making him prove here the truth of his plea of infancy, and I do not think that the circum- stances are such that it would be right or just for me to allow him coats. I do not base my decision on the shabbiness of the defence, but on the peculiar ciroum. stances of the case. Further, in the course of the trial, a juror suggested something as to what evidence might be forthcoming, it was asked whether the register of the circumcision had been searched, aad if that were done it might possibly settle the matter conclusively one way or the other. I should say that the jury were quite right on the evidence before them. There is another matter upon which the plaintiff is entitled to costs. The defendant alleged that after the promise the plaintiff exonerated and discharged him from it. That is rubbish. There was not a particle of proof of the plea, and, therefore, the costs of that will also have to be paid by the defendant. J udgmentaccordingly.

NEWPORT POLICE INTELLIGENCE. -+- COUNTY POLICE. -SATURDAY. Magistrates R. F. WOOLLETT, and EBENEZEK o LEWIS, Esqrs.] PARENTAL IXHUMANITV. William Andrews, Hendre Farm, Christchurch, was charged with ill- treating his son, William Edwiu Andrews, aged eight years.—Mr. Parker defended.—The law had been set in motion by the child's uncle, George Andrews, who deposed, as also did Superintendent Garney, to iinding the little fellow's body covered with brUlzes. The complainant stated that his mother was dead, and that his two sisters did not live at home. Oa Tues- day, the 11 th inst., his father beat him with a rope and stick, having first stripped off his clothes and tied him to the kitchen ceiling by his feet. The following day defendant first beat and then turned him out of doors. His father was drunk on both days. He (the boy) had been turned oat of doors on previous occa- sions. His father frequently beat him, and about a month ago he slept in a ditch with a blanket and aheet over him rather than go home.—The boy was sharply cross-examined, but without weakening his evidence.—Mr. Parker said he should be able to prove that the boy was untruthful, and had been guilty of taking things out of the house and breaking the windows, and suhmitted that, although the chastise- ment was severe, it was such as the father was justi- fied in administering. It was utterly untrue that the boy had been slung up before the beating. The boy was going from bad to worse, and what was the father to do. He called William Cliff, who stated that he had known the boy from his infancy. He knew the boy was untruthful, and that he had said he was black and blue with beating, but it was not true. The boy said a tramp stole the money-box, and afterwards said he did it himself. The boy was well clothed, but he cut the buttons off one suit. Had assisted his father in seeking for him several times, and the last time on Sunday night last.- The Bench said there was no doubt a father was justified sometimes in correct- ing a child, but there were different ways of doing it Nothing could justify his conduct towards the bov They believed the evidence the boy had given and had been inclined to send him to prison but lookine at all the circumstances, and that the boy would have to hve with him, they would order him to pay a fine of 20s and cost, amounting to 20s, including the doctor s fee also to be bound over for six months.

He was assured by his wife and daughters that the men came into the house in a state of inebriety, and resumed < fight started outside. The house had three entrances, and it would require a regiment of soldiers" to main taio perfect order at all times.

Crowley also accused his wife of being drunk at the time, but the sergeant could not money in drink." Crowley also accused his wife of being drunk at the time, but the sergeant could not say whether that was the case. Prosecutrix's head was swollen like a bladder, and Dr. Ready feared that the skull was injured, but that turned out not to be so. Mrs. Crowley was, however, badly hurt, and not able to leave her bed for a few days. -,She now wished to withdraw the eharge, and said the prisoner had never beaten her before. The assault was provoked by her taking a shilling from her husband when he was asleep. He struck her with his fist, but did not use the battpn, as stated by P.S.

The barmaid sent for a constable, and P.C. Alfred Smith took Burke into custody. The prisoner requested Smith to carry his clothes, and made an offer to tumble" the policeman which was declined. -The prisoner said the constable's evidence was quite correct. He (Burke) was making his way by road to Lancashire. He went to the hotel with the object of trying to knock together a few coppers to pay for his next day's breakfast.—Dr. Woolleit obtained a promise from the prisoner that he would tumble" out of the town at once, and dis. charged him. CHARGE OF FicHTI-N(;. -John Morrison was charged with fightmg 1IJ Portland street on Monday.—The prisoner's antagonist, a man named Keefe, had since left the town, and it was suggested by the Bench that Morrison, who is a quarrelsome fellow, had better copy his example. Slorrison asserted that in the pre- sent case he was the aggrieved party, Keefe having attacked him tirst.-The case was adjourned to give the police an opportunity of trying to summon the other person. A LENIENT PUNISHMENT. Charles Lidson was charged with being drunk and assaulting the police. —The prisoner and another man were on Tuesday afternoon pestering a knot of sailors in Ruperra-strset to treat" them to beer. P.C. Porter iuterposed' to save the seamen from being fleeced by a couple of land sharks, and both rascals thereupon assaulted the officer. Lidson was apprehended and looked up, but his companion escaped.—Prisoner was fined 10s. BOARD OF TRADE PROSECUTION. Ole Halversen, the keeper of a boarding-house, was charged with going on board the a. a. Huntingdon without pernti-ion. —Mr. R. P. Williams appeared for the Board of Trade, who prosecutsd--on Tuesday morning the above-named steamer was about to enter the Alexan- dra dry dock when a Board of Trade constable saw the prisoner jump on board. The constable followed, and ascertaining that Halverson was there unautho- rised took him in to custody. The master of the Huntingdon said he was ashore when the prisoner was apprehended, but before leaving the steamer he gave orders to the chief officer that no boarding masters or runners were to be allowed on the steamer. His reason for doing so was that the crew were to be paid I off that day, and bad an aggregate of £605 13s to receive.—The Clerk Then I suppose all the runners had their eyes on your ship, captain.—The witness I expect so.—Inspector Petty stated that later in the I day he saw Halverson and his runner loafing about the neighbourhood of the dry dock with a pony and trap. The priaoner has been thrice previously convicted of similar offences, and Mr. Williams asked for the infliction of exemplary punishment.—The Bench fined prisoner £5 17s including costs, the alternative being one month's hard labour. WAGES CAM.—John Hilton, contractor for the gas- worka extension, was sommoncid by a man named Wright for 3s lid wages, being 10i hours overtime at 41d per hour. -Defendanfe foreman and time-keeper deposed that the money was not due.-The Bench, however, believed complainants evidence, and ordered payment of the sum claimed' FRENCHMEN ON THE DRINK.—Four French sailors were brought up charged with being drunk and tight- ing in Dock-street late on Tuesday night.—The offence was admitted, and the Bench fined them 5s each.

NEWPORI; BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The membefa of the above Board present at the weekly meeting on Saturday were Mr. C. Lyne (chairman), Mr. J. H. Hillier (vice-chairman); Revs. J. C. S. Darby, Watkin Davies, E Jenkins, J. Jones, F. B. Leonard, and D. Roberts; Messrs. J. W. Bebell, P. Davies, T. Dutfield, W. Evans, B. George, E. Hill, J. Hunter, P. James, Rees Keene, W. Price, and E. Thomas. STATISTICS. Newport Union Workhouse. — The number of inmates for the week ending the 15th inat., as shown by the Governor's report, was 226 including 59 sick, or 15 more than in the corresponding period last year. Died during the week, Charles Bellamy, parish of St. Woolos, aged 34 years. Caerleon Industrial Schools. The Superintendent reported 3 admissions and 4 discharges, the number remaining on Saturday being 195 (112 boys and 83 girls), an increase of 13 on the corresponding day last year. Receiving industrial training, 48 boys and all the girls. Fit for service, three boys and one girl. THE TRAMPS' REFUGE. The Local Government Board wrote for particulars of the appointment of Charles Crane and his wife to d,t look after the Refuge, and requested the Guardians to say how the 158 per week wages was to be appor- tioned. On the motion of Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Bebell, the salary of Crane as superintendent was fixed at 128 a week, and his wife's at 3s, the latter acting as matron. The Chairman stated that under the management of Crane and his wife the Refuge was in excellent order. The great difficulty was that they had not a larger number of labour cells. because there were 20 tramps in the Refuge sometimes. The Vice chairman said that perhaps the Local Government Board would let them build an additional six now. PROSECUTIONS UNDER THE VACCINATION ACTS. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Kessick, clerk to the Newport borough justices, in reply to some obser- vations at a previous meeting on the small per centaga of convictions in vaccination prosecutions. Mr. Kessick pointed out that the summonses were mostly for trivial infractions of the Act, and that there had not been any cases of refusal to have children vacci- nated. The Chairman thought the letter satisfactory. MTSCKLLAN EOUS. Rev. J. C. S. Darby called attention to the case of an inmate of the House named Walker, who he said was the son of a deceased Major General of the same name. Walker followed the calling of a sailor, but was getting into years and h id entered the Workhouse I owing to ill-healch. He had a daughter in Jamaica, and could procure a free passage bome if provided with a proper outfit, but his clothes were in the hands of a boarding-house keeper at Cardiff, to whom Walker owed some money. He (the speaker) had heard that a boarding-house keeper had uo legal right to detain a sailor's clothes, and he suggested that the Clerk should be instructed to assist W ILKCR in obtaining possession of his kit. ) This suggestion was agreed to. The Chairman mentioned that as Mayor of Newport I he intended to attend St. Woolos Church on the following day, and stated that if any of the Guardians liked to accompany him he would be glad to see them. Rev. D. Roberts thanked Mr. Lyne for the invita- tion, remarking that the Board felt proud of the Chairman having been elected Mayor for the second time.. time. Mr. Price referred to Mr. E Thomas's notice of motion to increase the Workhouse porter's-salary, and expressed a hope that every Guardian would: receive notice when the matter was to be brought forward. The Clerk said noticea would be sent out. This closed the proceedings.

NEWPORT HARBOUR COMMISSION. -+-- The ordinary meeting of the Newport Harbour Commissioners was held on Friday, the members in attendance being Mr. C. Lyne (chairman), Mr. T. Beynon (deputy chairman), Admiral Foote Messrs- J. S. Adam, H. Beyuon, T. J. Beynon, T. Colborne, H. J. Davis, D. Evans, C. B. Holland, T. Latch, J. Lawrence, J. Moses, J. Murphy, W. Pickford, T. Pugsley, and J. E. Ward. LAST MONTH'S INCOME. The Chairman read a statement of receipts for October and the corresponding month of the previous year. Harbour dues, £ 353 7a 7d; corresponding month, £ 388 15s lOd decrease, £ 35 8s 3d. Gridiron dues, X30 19s 4d corresponding month, X58 12s Id decrease, f,27 12s 9J. Ballast dues, JC55 4s; corres- ponding month, L98 2s; decrease, jE42 18s. Explo- sives boats' dues, 10s; corresponding month, 18s decrease, 8s. Contributions to the Infirmary, X47 Is corresponding month, 950 6s 6d decrease. f3 5s 6d. Balance in the bank on the 13th inst, 91,473 Ile. The Chairman remarked that the harbour dues for October, 1883, exceeded those of any preceding month. Last month the harbour dues were;915 higher than in September. The falling off in ballast dues was probably accounted for by the fact that only one stage was at work. HARBOUR MASTER'S R*PORT. Mr. K. H. Foote reported that both the new ballast stages were now in use; also that the mud accumulated about the pontoon had been removed. It had been suggested to him by Mr. J. A. Macfarlane, the engi- neer employed to make cross sections of the river, that the number might be slightly reduced as they approached the mouth of the stream. He (the Har- bour Master) likewise wished to know if the Com- mission desired him to observe the heights of the tide at various points in the river, as recommended by Mr. Vernon Hatrcourt. The report further stated that Mr. I Foote had found workmen tipping rubbish into the Avon Llwyd at Pontypool. The Clerk stated that he had made inquiries aa to I the last named matter, and was of opinion that the proprietors of the works were not to blame. The workmen would be summoned. The Chairman The only things that require con- aidieratiou are those mentioned by Mr. Macfarlane, and they will be dealt with in another report. SURVEY OF THE RIVER, The Harbour Improvement and Parliamentary Committee reported that Mr. J. A. Macfarlane had been engaged by them, on the recommendation of Mr. M'C'onuochie, to make a survey and cross sections of the River Uak, 300ft. apart, for a sum of X300, the Commissioners providing him with two boats and seven men, and all other necessary appliances for carrying out the work; which is to be completed in three months from the present time. The Chairman brought up the report, and stated that Mr, Macfarlane had commenced the work. With regard to the statement made in the Harbour Master's report, Mr. Macfarlane had written a letter asking the Board to sanction a departure from the terms of the contract. He now propo", to make the cross-sec- tions at the entrance to the river 600ft. apart instead of 300ft. They had made a contract with Mr. Mac- farlane, and he (the Chairman) thought it was very unadvisable to deviate from it. They would like to know the effect of depositing outside the river mud taken fronv the dock. If the suggestion. of Mr. Macfarlaue were adopted 10, sections would be done away with. I The Harbour Master Mr. Macfarlane is very strong about these amotions. The Chairman thought they had better not interfere with the contract; if they began to do so there was no telling where the thing would end. He proposed I that the contract be not departed from. | The motion waa seconded and carried unanimously, the adoption of the report beicg also agreed-tch The Chairman then drew attention to the question J raised by the Harbour Master as to taking the height of the tide at five differsmt pointa of the river. Mr. Harcourt, ia his report, recommended that that should be done in order to make their knowledge of the facts connested with the river. complete. The Harbour Master explained that there was a 1 slight slope in the river from the bridge down to the flaoath. Mr. V. Harcourt had recommended that they thotald take the mean height of the tide at certain points and certain, periods. The level line showing the spring tidea was. not absolutely correct. If they took the observation suggested they would have to employ very careful men; and it would have to be taken at the different points simultaneously. •The Depnty-ohannM aud it no, daubt intpot • j tant that they should get a perfectly accurate wwvey ol the river, and he moved that this matter be referred to the Parliamentary and Improvement Committee. Mr. Colborne having seconded, the proposition, it was carried nem. con. INCREASE OF SALARIES. A renort was presented by the Finance Committee recommending that the Harbour Masters salary be increased from £ 230 to £ 300 a year the Clerk » from £ 150 to £ 200 a year the auditors from £ 12 £ 20 a Vear- ami the two water-bailiff.' from £ 10 to £ 14 10s each per month, their title being deputy harbour-masters. The Chairman broagbt up the report. He said it was considered that the time had arrived for consider- ing the salaries of the various officers. The duties baa materially increased, and wsuld probably farther increase. It was due to them that they should be not extravagant, but fair and adequate salaries. Mr. Colborne moved the adoption of the report, and said he considered the officers were worthy of this recognition of their services. Mr. Moses seconded the motion with great pleasure, believing it was false economy to underpay efficient servants. The motion was carried unanimously, and Mr. Foote and Mr. C. R. Lyne returned thanks. APPOINTMENT OF WATCHMEN. The Harbour Works Committee recommended that four watchmen be appointed and sworn in as consta- bles, to act under the directions of the Harbour Mas. ter, at a salary of 30s a week. The Chairman said the Commissioners were receiv- ¡ ing large sums from the shippiag every year. It was naturally expected that the shipping should have a certain amount of protection. As they had fuods at their disposal, he thought it was their duty to protect the river. He would have been better pleased if they could have had six men, but- he thought they might begin with four, and therefore moved the adoption of the report. The Deputy.chairman seconded the motion. Mr. Davis. moved an amendment that six be ap. pointed, as four was too small a number. *r' >)ra ^conded the amendment. Mr. Moses, was in favour of employing eight men, and proceeded to show that the funds warranted them iautaHklSr *he additional expenditure which eight would involve. There voted for the amendment too, and fout *^•1 amendment then became a substantive m<- V niaKf r 868 m3Ted an amendment to ap- pom g policemen.

PERFORMANCE OF HANDEL'S "MESSIAH" AT NEWPORT. So much has been written about the Messiah that it would be exceedingly difficult to say anything new of it. Composed by George Frederick Handel, within 25 days, commencing August 22nd, 1741, and first performed, according to Victor Schceler, in Dublin, on the 13th April, 1742, this masterpiece of the great German musician has for nearly a century and a half held its own as the grandest production upon this particular subject ever written. Baob, Graun, Beethoven, Spohr, Rossini, and others have composed upon this theme but no one has ever approached in loftiness of conceptiou, and variety of treatment, the music of HandeL The Messiah is still recognised as a marvel of genius, and is even more fully appreciated now than when it was first presented to the public a hundred and forty years ago. The occasions are rare when great musical composi- tions, such as that here referred to, are presented to Newport audiences, with full band accompaniments, supported by a strong and well-drilled chorus and soloists of repute but this week the Newport Choral Society gathered to the orchestra of the Royal Albert Hall a band of professional and amatenr musicians such as is seldom seen in towns no larger than our own. For something over two months the Society had met for weekly rehearsal under the conductor- ship of its energetic leader, Mr. Thomas Jones. The announcement that the Messiah was to be given, with Mozart'a additional accompaniments, aad that ample provision was to be made, both in the vocal and instrumental departments, for giving effect to the work, no doubt had much to do with the character and number of the audience. It may be confidently stated that an oratorio has never been gives, in New- port under more favourable circumstances, and, probably, at no time has a larger company assembled in the town t& enjoy the refined pleasure which the careful rendering- of such a composition affordu. That the efforts of the performers were appreciated (aw they deserved to be) was fully testified by the applause—accompanied in some cases by recalls- which followed many of the pieces. It is matter for regret that the Society's conductor (Mr. T. Jones) was unable, owing to recent family bereavement and personal indisposition, to conduct- while the same oause prevented his sister, Miss Charlotte Jones, from presiding, at the American organ. Their places were, however, ably filled by E..s Morlais, the well-known singer and conductor, aud Miss Driscoll, R.A.M., whose akill and judgment entitle her efforts to warm commendation. The principals engaged were-Soprano, Miss Anna Wil- liamas and Miss Ada Patterson; contralto, Madame Fatey tenor, Mr. Sydney Tower bass, Mr. Franklin Clive > leader of the band, Mr. E. G. Woodward. Exactly at eight o'clock Eos MorlaU'took his place 011 the conductor's stand, aud from that time until eleven, when the tiual Amen was snug, not a single hitch was perceptible. After the attention of the audience had been secured by a steady perfor- mance of the overture, the familiar straius of Comfort ye my people" fell from the lips of Mr. Sidney Tower in a manner which left no doubt as to his ability to carry oat the work he had undertaken. The air, Every Valley," and the recitatives and air, All they, that see Hi in," "Thy rebuke," Mild Behold, and see," were lMlog, with striking effect, though a deviation from the text, or slip, in the open- ing bar of "Thou shale break them," was noticeable. Taken as a whole, however, Mr. Tower's siugiug left little to desire. Mr. Franklin Clive took the bass solos with admi- rable eare. He has a voice of rare excelleaoe, which he uses with great skill. His- rendering of Why do the nations and "The trumpet shall- sound" (trumpet obligate by Mr. H. G. Foxall), especially elicited the acknowledgments of the audience. We have never known flexibility and force more happily combined in the execution of the airs mentioned than in this instance. As a vocalist Miss Anna Williams has attained a foremost place. Hence only a bare reference to some of her principal solos is necessary. The airs "fiojoice greatly" and "I know that my Redeemer liveth," were given with such marked appreciation and appro- priate accent as deeply to impress the audience while the sympathetic and highly-finished style of Miss Patterson in "Come unto Him and How beautiful are the eet/' displayed exceptional refinement of culture in the vocal art. No one familiar with the kind, of work to be per- formed by the contralto soloist, in the Messiah, would challenge Madame Patey's claim to distinguished favour. Her really grand voice, so well suited to oratorio music, fully justified the most sanguine Anticipation* of the «adienae ud it nuut saffim to say that "O thou that telleat," "He Bhall feed hi* flock," and He was despised," were sung as only Madame Patey can sing them. I The chorus, which numbered about 200 voices, supported by a band of 50 instruments, did their work most creditably. Though not faultless, the singing of, this band of vocalists showed sig^ 0f careful training, and they proved themselves Enable of successfully grappling with the most difficult Sarts of the oratorio. The work of the band was SDkndidlv executed, and altogether the performance was^dfa^ to reflect great credit upon all wh0 took part iait.

GREAT SALE OF STOCK AND HORSES IN GLAMORGANSHIRE. On Manda-V and Tuesday, Mr. Alexander (Messrs. Stephenson and Alexander) sold by auction, at The Heath, near Cardiff, the whole of the stock, horses, and agricultural produce, the property of Mr..G. W. G. Ihomas, who is abandoning farming pursuits. There was a large attendance, and good prioes were obtained on the whole. The, sale commenced with the Cotswold sheep, numbering.about 120, with which Mr. Thomas has been a successful exhibitor. The highest figure reached for breeding ewes was.15 2s. a head, a.t which one lot changed hands —Mr. Howell, The Green, being the purchaser.

The sale of cattle began with three-year-old Hereford "steers, the prices for which varied from iCI8 15s. to X25. A fat heifer was knocked down for jig. The pedigree shorthorns were taken next, and some very high prices were realised. "Lady Love," a roan cow, sire Hampden," was first offered. The bidding, started at 20 guineas, and ran quickly up to 44 guineas, at which price she was knocked down to Mr. Howell, of The Green. Cleopatra," also a roan, sire "Pearl Diver," was bought by Mr. Glyn Homfray, of Penlline Castle, for 85 guineas. A splendid animal, named "Merry May," was next brought into the ring, Her sire waa Charles I."
