WHEREAS, some evil disposed person o.t persons have spread a report to the effect that I attended a Conservative political meeting at the Infants' School Room, Blaenafon, and made a speech to the following effect, viz.: » That Two Shillings per day was sufficient for any workman to earn, and to maintain a wife and family;" I hereby offer the above Reward to any per- son or persons who shall prove that I ever uttered any- thing of the kind to any person living.

FIFTH MON., OR HANBURY R[FLE CORPS. MEETINGTFOR TIIF^PISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. A meeting of the above corps took placc at the TowtI School on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of distributing the following prizes, yiz. :-Cürps Prize, :fivo)ounds at 200 and 500 yards. £ 13, divided into Twenty Prizes. Shot for at Cwm Lickey, on Sept. 23rd.—Band Prize, for the best attendance at Drill and Practice during the officialjyear, R3, divided into Eight Prizes. Corps Drill Piize, for the best atten- dance at Drill during the official year, £ 7, divi- ded into Twedty-two Prizes. There was a very strong muster of the corps, the whole of the offi- cers and about 80 non-commissioned officers and rank and file being present. The men having fallen in, Captain Hair addressod them as fol- lows Yolunteers of the ILanbury Corps, it affords me much pleasure to meet you again. We are met together to- night for the purpose of presenting the prizes won du- ring the year ending the 30th Nov. last. And I would remark in passing that I would have called you together sooner had I not believed that by this time we should have been in possession of the Battalion cup, which would have added considerably to the display on the table, seeing that the prizes are nearly all money prizes and therefore not calculated to make much show on a table. But somehow or another the dinner at which it was intended the cup should have been pre- sented broke down, and so it has nut been presented yet, and you are deprived of the pleasure of seeing it, a pleasure I very much wished you to have. Before proceeding to present the prizes, I wish to say a few words in order to point out how necessary it is to attend regularly to drill if you think to carry off a prize, either in the prizes given for attendance at drill or for shoot- ing. The husbandman may be very aptly compared to the volunteer. He has bis seed-time and harvest. In the spring he diligently tills the ground and sows the seed, in full hope that lie will reap an abundant har- vest. The volunteer also commences his operations in the spring; he attends drill regularly, he goes to the target for practice, and does everything that lies in his power to make himself efficient (I refer now to a good volunteer.) This is his seed-time, and in attending to these duties he is only sowing the seed and preparing the harvest, which he hopes to reap in prizes at the cud of the year You may be assured if he did not do so he would stand no chance of carrying off a prize at the end of the year, any more than the husbandman who ne- glected preparing the ground and sowing his seed could expect to reap an abundant harvest, To illustrate this I have only to refer to the list before me, where I find the names of no less than 7 men (all honor to them) who have been present at every drill during the past year. Several others have only missed one or two drills, yet by this slight omission they are thrown a long way down the list. It therefore behoves all who make up their minds to try to carry off a prize in this series to attend every drill. Let me tell you, the man who at- tends drill regularly has a great advantage over another who does not do so, even in a shooting point of view he gets accustomed to the handling of his rifle, and from working with it so frequently, it gets to be almost like a part of himself. I may illustrate this by referring to Lieut. Williams. Fewvolunteers practice more care- fully than he does, and in the last year he has had his reward, having carried off a CiO piize at Wim- bledon, and another £10 prize at the large all comers' meeting at Gloucester, and another at the all comers' at Nqwport. I am very sorry I have not more time for practice myself. I will now refer shortly to the present state of the corps, as compaied with our position last year at this time. The total number of men now serv- ing in the corps is 157 last year it was 138—shewing an increase of 19 but I am sorry tJ say we have 28 non-efficients this year, as against 2 last. This is ac- counted for in a great measure by the depression of trade in this neighbourhood, which has now lasted for nearly three years, driving many of our men away into other neighbourhoods in search of work. The number of extra efficients this year is 82, against 91 last; effi- cients, 47 this-4.5 last; aud the grant earned this year is L170, against £ 181 10s. last, a decrease of £11. Nevertheless, when we take all things into account, I think we may congratulate ourselves that our present position is so good. THE WINNERS OF THE COUPS PniZK, Five rounds at 200 and 500 yards, £ 13, divided into Twentv Prizes, were now called to the front, and Capt. Hair proceeded to present the prizas to them, and from the kind and encouraging words lie addressed to all, it was evident lie (the Capt.) was intimately acquainted with all they had ever done as volunteers. This is itist as it should be, because if a commanding officer does not take an interest in his men, and leaves the work to be done by others, the chances are that his corps will go to the dogs. From the great interest Capt. Hair has taken in his corps, it lias gone on prospering, even in the face of such times as we have had during the last 2 or 3 vears such times as Pontypool has never seen before. 1 Sergt.

THE WINNERS OF THE corrs DRILL PRIZES were next called to the front, and the prizes were presented to them by Lient. Williams, who also gave them some capital advice to persevere and attend as regularly during the coming year as they had done during the past, and expressed the pleasure he felt at seeing no less than seven among them who had attended every drill last yenr, and several ethers who had only missed one or tiN*i).

Hair afterwards addressed the members, ar.d informed them that company drill would be resumed on Tuesday, the 12th of January, and that it was his intention to give a cup next year, under the same conditions as last, Money prizes to the amount of £ '23 would also be given, under nearly similar conditions as before. Lieutenant Williams and Ensign Fothergiil would also give a cup, to be shot for at the annual competition by five of the best shots from each section, sergeants of sections to make the selection. The excellent band of the corps played at interv.-ils during the evening. The corps, headed by its band, afterwards paraded the principal streets of the town and the men, before being dismissed, were told off into detachments, to proceed, under the command of ser- geants, to the George, Winning Horse, and Greyhound far refreshments.
THE ASSAULT CASE AT j ABERGAVENNY,…
THE ASSAULT CASE AT ABERGAVENNY, MR. G. SOMERSET versus THE HON. CLIFFORD-BUTLER. The sensational assault case, Mr Granville Robert Henry Somerset versus the Honourable James Fitzwalter Clifford- Butler and J/r Thomas Williams, of Wcrn-y-mcliin, came on for hear- ing at the Abergavenny Police Conrt on Wed- nesdav, the 23rd inst. The sitting magistrates were the Rev J. II. Farqnhar (chairman}, M. j Roberts, Esq., J. C. Hill, Esq., and T. Da^ie^; Esq. Mr SUn-dey Hil], QC. for Coventry), instructed by Mr Price, appeared for the com- plain ant; and Mr George Browne, barrister-at- law, instructed by Mr P>aker aud Mr Llewelliu, appeared for the defendants. ijc f tli(, The names of the parties were called at half- past eleven o'clock, but neither oi t.heui replied. The chairman read the following letter from Hon. W. P. Rodney :— Lbinviliangel, '2Ut Dec., 1S63. Dear sir, —I delayed acknowledging the receipt of your letter of the 16th in the hope 1 might find myself • snflicicJitly recovered from of and gout, to enable me to join the other magistrates on j Wednesday, in hearing a disagreeable case of assault; but I find myself quite unfit to leave iiiv home at pre- sent. You have a strong Bench no*v. but i agree with you, in a case like the one in question, all the magis- trates'^thc Division should, if possible, attend. I am, dear sir, Yours truly, W. P. ROIJNT.Y. W. J. Batt, Erq. The of the complainant and defend- i ants were called over three times at twenty mi- uufes to twelve, the chairman intimating that! if they did nut rcspoud the court would break up. Shortly afterwards, Mr Granville Sonierset arrived, and, addressing the Bcnch, said Will yon be gooad enough to wait. another quarter of an hour? I thought it my duty to come and make known tlto fact that a little time is re- quired. The chairman Not only myself, but mv bio- tber magistrates, are of opinion that this is a case which ought to be settled out of court, not in court.and that it ought not to be brought i into court till every other means of settlement have been exhausted. Mr Granville Somerset After those obsorva- tions, it would be wrong for me to make any remark. Tllr Staveley Hill (who accompanied MrGran- ville Somerset: My friend Mr Browne and my- self will do all we possibly can. Mr Staveley Ilill then left the court, Mr Granville Somerset, Mr O. A. Wyatt, Mr Alexander Edwards, and other friends, remaining, seated at the advocates' table, to the 1. ft of the Bench, with some 20 or 30 wit- nesses (who attended to give evidence for the complain- ant) behind them. Mr Crawshay Bailey, jun., and other gentlemen, sat fronting the Bench the repiesent- atives of the Press, who mustered in strong force, being accommodated on the left of the platform. Mr A. D. Bcrrington sat behind the other magistrates, but did not act. Mr Williams, of Wcrn-y-mellin (one of the de- fendants) sat among a large number of witnesses for the defence, on the left of the advocates' tabic. The Clifford Butler (the other defendant) entered as Mr Staveley 11111 retired, and sat at tho table, fronting the Bench. The body of the hall was filled with persons who had the appearance of well-to-do farmers and tradesmen. The Bench sat patiently an hour longer, doing no- thing. Tho chairman then asked In tho nesroeiations now U'oiog on, is Mr Williams, of Wcrn-y-rncllin, concerned Mr Granville Somerset I do not know neither do loaro.. Mr Lawrence Baker Mr Browne represents both Mr Williams and Mr Clifford Butler. The honour of .)It, Mr Williams is in Mr Browne's hands, Mr Granville Somerset.: I havo been asked the ques- tion, hut the matter is now in the hands of my een:iM'l aii(I I have withdrawn. That was why I could not answer the question. The chairman Then I am to understand that Mr Williams is a consenting party ? Mr Lawrence Baker Quite so. Another half hour passed listlessly. Mr II ill then observed We wiU not wait any longer. We mis'ht be here till six o'clock. The chairman We will nut wait longer. IV, li a v c already been here two hours. Mr Granville Somerset., who had been sent for out of oourt. here returned and said I ain sorry that you have been kept so long waiting, hut I trust von will find your patience has not been wasted. I will say no more; but do not take more from me thau I say. 1 was sent for to he consulted; and 1 tru-t you will be of thes.imcopinionas myself. H.e mattti is row in the hands of my counsel. The chairman I a n quite suie thai ah the magis- trates would rather sit here doing not a nig than listen- ing to the case. Mr Granville Somerset: I will say nothing. Colonel Clifford directly afterwards came on the platform, and was received with stamping of fret hy some nf the people in the hody of the hall. He ;td- vanced to the chairman, and, having exe'sunged con»- tesics. s-,id "We shall not keep you five minutes. lie j then retired. Auothcr quarter of an hour elapsed, and Mr Stavfky Hill then returned into court, and slid I am sorry to have kept vou so long waiting but I am happy to tell you that your time bus been saved. The chairman I am very happy to heai it. Mr Staveley 11 ill sat down to write, and Atr Clifford Butler left the court. Mr Browne entered, and also sat down to write. The barristers then retired; t-heio %i as; another long pause, and Mr Clifford Butler returned. Tlie chairman Is there any prospect of this case be- ing settled ? Mr Granville Somerset: I do not know, sir. I thought s > some time ago. I am ready to go into the witness box, aii(I I hope you will call me. You see I have been here waiting. I JThe chairman We see you have, and so have we Mr Staveley JI i 11 re-entered, aud sat in conversion w:tli Mr Granville Somerset, while Mr Clifford Buihr ag left the cour'. The ch airman IVe have had great ple&sarr in whit- ing, but, '.ve will not wait more than another ijuartei ft au hour. Mr Staveley Hill: As far as we are concerned, we do not want you to wait one minute. Mr G. Browne re-entered, accompanied by Cot. Clifford, Mr Clifford-Butler, M. Llewelliu, and other gentlemen and handed a pape: across to Mr Staveley Ilill, saying to iLe Bench 1 deeply regret to have kept yon waiting. The Chairman replied: If the case is disposed of, we arc very happy. Mr Granville Somerset, having read the paper, han- ded it back to Mr Browne, sitnliug Take those three words out, and I will agree to it. Colonel Clifford I am willing to take any blame that attaches in this matter, as I am the person under whose advice Mr Clifford-Butler has acted. I think it due to his character that certain words should be in- serted. Mr Browne You are entitled to speak. Mr Granville Somerset: I have nothing to say. The matter is in the hands of my counsel. The Chairman We cali't help feeling that this is a very unusual course. We have no (}hjeeti1 to wait, but we do not see whether the case is to come into court or not, or whether it is likely to come to a con- clusion. r Staveley ilill I am quite sure that Mr Browne and I agree. Mr Br owne Persons whose feelings are touched are apt to he sensitive and attach meanings to words. Mr Staveley Ilill Take the words in their full and ordinary meaning. A few minutes inoro passed, and Mr Stavelpy Hill then said: I have great pleasure in stating that I, on behalf of Mr Granville Somerset, and that Mr Browne, on the part of his client, Mr Clifford Butler, havo come to a full understanding with regard to this matter. I am quite sure that I have met a gentlemanly opponent in MrBrownc,and that Mr Clifford Butler may feel him- self perfectly safe in his hands. I have great pleasure in reading to you, inasmuch as it is to be made public, tho terms upon which we have agreed, and which are as follows — Tnniis. "The summonses against Mr Ciifford-Butler and Mr Williams are withdrawn upon the following terms Col. Clifford assures Mr G. Somerset that he never used, Oil 19th of November last, any offensive cx. pression towards him, imputing falsehood.and that he fully withdraws any statement-made ut Monmouth, or elsewhere, which may SeeiiA to co¡{\'o,sucb- au impres- si 1) 11. "Mr G. Somerset assures Col. Clifford that when bb stated that he believed bt C<I,1. Ctiif lr.'ed'fe,,1., ercion towards his tenants, he did filly believe that 1).è was warranted i;) so saying; but as Col. Clifford btatcd that he never used coercion, Mr G. Somerset accepts Col. Clifford's cisruvtinec given t,) Oiv and withdraws any imputation against Col. Clifford made at Aber*)- clian or elsewhere. Mr Clifford-Butler espressos his regret at having, in the excitement of the moment, used any expression imputing untruth to Mr Granville Somerset, or at having caused him any annoyance; and Mr Cliff'rd- Hutler further assures Mr Granville r and Mr Granville Somerset acccpts his assurance, that ho did not excite the raob against him, or use any gesticulation i nUll ded to be offensive. (ibud) A. t. Counsel for Mr G. Somerset. GEOKGK BitOWNK, "Counsel for Mr Cliffoid-Butl&r." The Chairman I may say that tike re is r.ot a magis- trate now sitting, or a person in this court, or I may go further and siN- tliei-e is not an inhabitant of the county but will be highly delighted in hearing that this unfortunate affair has been settled in a satisfactory man- ner to all the parties concerned. And I may venture to express my hope to Mr Granville Somerset, Colonel Clitfurd and Mr Clifford-Butler, that whate ver feelings of friendship may have existed between them wiil be restored and increased :!1 warmth and i-iiioeiirv. Mr Browne Neither Mr Clifford-BalLr nor myself wish to make any observation beyond reading the statement. Mr Staveley Hill said that thcre was also a srparnto summons against Mr Williams, and that would be withdrawn on the understanding that no further mi). tion is taken in his matter on behalf of any of the par- ties. Ho was much obliged to the Bench for their kindness in for them. '1 he Chairman Yv e have had much pleasure in wait- ing, especially as the result is so satisfactory.
