A CROP OF DISASTERS.
A CROP OF DISASTERS. The last few days have been unusually productive of accidents. At the close of last week, Messrs R. Eley and Joseph Goodenough. of Panteg, were thrown violently out of a trap, but fortunately they escaped without injury. On Monday, a man who has for some time been en- gaged on the Park estate, had one of his lingers broken by a stone falling on it at Penygarn. On Monday, Mr Williams, son of Mr Joseph Wil- liams, of Brynderwen, was thrown from his horse when returning home from Pontypool, and bad a very heavy fall. On Monday a valuable horse, belonging to Mr David Jenkins. of Trosnant Ale and Porter Stores, while gam- bolling with another horse round a meadow at the Cwm, came with great force against a "quarter-post" erected by the railway company. The post entered the poor animal's breast in a frightful manner. On Monday, Mrs New, wife of Mr A. T. W. New, was driving in a basket carriage from Coed-y-gric to- wards Ponthrydvrun, accompanied by her three children and Miss Whittaker, when the pony from some cause took fright and started off at headlong speed. A man who attempted t.) stop the animal was knocked down and very severely injured. The pony kept on until it overtook Mr William Jenkins's cart, up into which it was actually forced by the impetus of its speed. Mrs New was thrown to the ground, but neither she nor her companions were hurt. The pony and carriage were greatly damaged. On Tuesday, Oiinrii-s Goodenough, son of the sur- veyor to the Panteg Local Board, who is mentioned above, fell from a rick on his father's farm, and a pike, which happened to be below, ran through his arm. Medical aid was promptly procured. On Tuesday evening, Barney, son of Mr Bloom, pawnbroker, fell off the wall opposite bis father's house in George-street, and broke his arm.
ABERSYCHAN.
ABERSYCHAN. The United Friends Lodge, meeting at the Pentwyn Tavern, heartily enjoyed their anniversary on Monday. They engaged the band of the Hanbury rifle corp*, got up a very good procession, and sat down to as excellent a dinner as any man could wish. BURGLARY.—On Saturday night Glansvchan House was broken into. The burglar or burglars were evi- dently strangers to the place, who, judging by the sire of the house, thought to make a good haul. As it hap- pened, however, they took but little away with them, the house at present being tenanted by a Mr Tippett, who kpeps the rooms aired, &c. A leg of tnutton, some ham, and other eatables, weie the only articles missed. We learn that on Sunday two suspicious-looking fellows wore lurking about the place, one dressed in moleskin, the other wearing1 a faded velveteen jacket.

LOCAL AND DISTRICT NEWS. I THE RIVAL BANDS.—We have received very con- flicting statements respecting a fight which took place at POlltnewynydci a few days since, and therefore are somewhat puzzled to decide between them. The con- test was very unseemly, and we hope we shall never bear of the like again. MR SYKES'S second singing match duly came off on Thursday, the 5th inst., the electro-silver cup offered being of very elegant design. Six competitors came forward, and the cup was awarded, by show of hands of the audience, to David Harris, collier, of Gamdif- faith. None of the songs were of a very high order. Two or three of the c ompetitors made the great mis- take of offering low comic songs. The popular ditties of the present generation denote a very low standard of taste, and the comic rubbish depends for success on ab- surd gesticulation without regard to quality of voice or music. It may please the mob, but nobody else. THE UNITED FRIENDS.—The Loyal Hanbury Lodge, No. 9, of United Friends, meeting at the Montague Hotel, celebrated their anniversary on Monday last. They marched in procession, wearing their scarves and decorations, and headed by the band of the Blaenafon rifle corps and the very handsome new banner belong- ing to the lodge, through the town and as far as Pont- newytndii. and through the Park. They afterwards, to the numhei of 77. sat down to an excellent dinuer pro- vided by Mr and Mrs Beaehatn. P.G. John Watkins occupied the chair, and P.G W. Vox the vice-chair, and a variety of toasts and songs filled up a very plea- sant evening. The 55th anniversary of Upper Trosnant Welsh Bap- tist chapel-schools (Race school and Pontypool) took place on Sunday, when the Rev Davies, Rhymney, preached three excellent sermons. The attendance was good. and the children acquitted themselves well, show- ing that great energy had been employed in preparing the children for their recitations. The choir sang well, and great credit is due to Mr L. Walters for his exer- tions in connection with the choir and the two schools of the above chapel.Oii Monday the scholars, teachers, and friends partook of their annual treat of plum-cake and tea, after which they were kindly permitted to walk through tile grounds of Pontypool Park, and enjoyed themselves merrily at kls-ln.tho-nng. FORESTERS' ANNIVERSARY. --On Monday, A.O.F. Court Liiv of the Valley held their anniversary, when about 40 brothers sat down to a capital spread provided by Brother !J n! Prosser. After dinner the chair was taken by Biotner Wrn. Jenkins, PGR, and the vice- chair by Brother Ilenry Lewis. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given, Brother Jenkins gave a statement of the progress of Forestry through England ITZ and Colonies—comprising 3822 courts; 349,022 finan- cial members; 7148 honorary members. Last year were opened 102 courts, comprising 12,231 members. The evening was enlivened with some capital harmony, Mr Llewellin Williams playing delightfully on the harp.
MONMOUTHSHIRE ASSIZE ,
MONMOUTHSHIRE ASSIZE Bdum B,lr()n hg..r: and Mr us;ice Montagus Smith, j EVANS r. ROGERS. l lrs WHS a special jury c.s". in which the plaintiff, w": s" ess- was support--d y Mr James. Q.C., and with "ll ..1¡ L.irrinston. sought to recover possession of farm property called Gelly-ereeg, at Aberystruth. Tbe right was tiispuUd by the defendant, who was repre- sented by Mr Matthews, Q.C. It appeared from the evidence adduced that the property had been sola some years ago from tbe family of Rogers to Mr Prcthcro Price, but the purchase was not at that time completed. The deed of sale was sub- sequently made out in the name of Mrs Prosser in 1851, and a conveyance which his lordship decided to be good in point of law, granted, conveying the property from Henry Rogers to Mrs Prosser in consideration of the payment of X3,000, which money was not, however, paid. Unfortunately fur himself, Rogers took a bond for the money, and it had not been paid. In the year 1860, Mrs Prosser 6old the property to Mr Jno. Evans, the present plaintiff, who had a perfectly good title to it. It was decided also as against the defendant, that he did not hold as tenant, and could not therefore be entitled to six months' notice—Judgment was given for the plaintiff. TEMPI.ETON V. DoftMAN. Mr Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr Harrington were for the plaintiff, and Mr Griffits for the defendant. This action was brought to recover the sum of L57 6s. 8d., due upon a promissory note, and for money agreed to be paid for the purchase of certain debts of the plaintiff by the defendant.- The transactions between the parties involved a sum of JE954 5s. lOd. The plaintiff is a draper at Merthyr. at which place the defendant served plaintiff as a traveller. Wishing to go into business on his own account, he entered into a contract with the plaintiff to purchase from him the custom of certain rounds, and the debts accruing due to the plaintiff on those rounds. In payment of the debt thus contracted, he gave ten promissory notes, payable, the first of C256 at four months, and the remainder, each of S-75 odd, at intervals of four months. M. of the bills were met, but bills to the amount of the present claim were dis- honoured. The contention of defendant was, that the debts being contracted during infancy the defendant was not liable, but in opposition to this statement the learned counsel stated that the contract was ratified by a subse- quent contract in writing, made between the parties sine# the defendant had attained his majority.— Judgment was given for the plaintiff, with leave to move. The trials of prisoners commenoed on Thursday. John Lane, farmer, charged with the murder of Wm. Nichols. near Chepstow, was acquitted on the ground of insanity. To be detained during Her Majesty's pleasure. The bill against Thomas Rosser, charged on his own confession with the murder of Jane Edwards, at Usk, was ignored. The bills against Charles Waters, charged with the abduction of Margaret Flynn, at Newport, and against William Powell, charged with obtaining 40 sheep by false pretences, at Portskewett, were ignored. Thomas Sullivan was sentenced to five years' penal servitude for robbing and assaulting Edward Castle, at St Woollos. Thomas Phillips, charged with stealing a watch, &c., from the person of Wm. Thomas, at G ol deliff. -Three months. Timothy Crowley, stealing boots at Bedwellty.-Six weeks. Jeremiah Casey, obtaining money by false pretences at Newport.—14 days.
BREAKING INTO BARGES.
BREAKING INTO BARGES. George William Smith, alias William Wilson Smith, « stoker, was indicted for feloniously entering certain barges, the property of Thomas Richard Hyam, and stealing therefrom a coat, and other articles of clothing, the property of Charles Morgan and others, at Mon- mouth, on the 9th July last. Prisoner pleaded guilty. —Sentenced to four inonthb' bard labotir. BURGLARY AT TREDEGAR. ¡ John Jones, 41, bailer, pleaded guilty to relonÎóndy breaking and entering the dwelling-house of David Timothy, and stealing a skirt and handkerchief, his property, on the ]3th July last.—Sentenced to two months' hard labour. DEFRAUDING AT NEWPORT. Henry Toombs, 37, scalemaker, pleaded guilty to several indictments, charging him with feloniously de- frauding Samuel Warmisham, weight and scalemaker, of Bishopsgate-street, London, at Newport, on 30th of June.—Sentenced to six months' hard labour. STEALING BOOTS AT MONMOUTH. Edward William Symonds pleaded guilty to stealing a pair of boots on Thursdav. This morning he wished to withdraw his plea and to plead not euilty. Mr Bosanquet said it was very awkward, inasmuch as the witnesses in this case had gone away. His Lordship said if the prisoner persisted in his plea he would have to be put back for trial at the next assizes. This was hardly worth his while. He had gone through the depositions and considered it perfectly clear that pri- soner stole the boots, and it would be very difficult to persuade a jury to the contrary. Prisoner thereupon allowed his plea of guilty to remain, and was sent to two months' hard labour. WOUNDING A POLICEMAN AT TREDEGAR. John Ilorrigan, 24, labourer, was found guilty, with a recommendation to mercy, for injuring Police- constable Lewis, at Tredegar, on the 4th of July last, and sentence being deferred, he was next morn- ing brought up for judgment. Mr Pritchard, who pro- secuted, stated that prisoner had been previously in gaol for assaults and called evidence to support, the statement. — His Lordship after suitably warning the prisoner sentenced him to three mouths' hard labour. CHARGE OF RAPE AT ABERSYCHAN. j John Jones, 18, roller, and Edward Willett, 18, labourer, were severally indicted, the former with felo- niously and violently assaulting and ravishing Emma Elliott, at Abersychan, on the 27th of April last, and j the latter with aiding and abetting in the crime. Pri- soner pleaded not guilty. Mr Sawyer prosecuted, and Mr Brown defended Jones, and Mr Gough defended Willett. A mass of evidence was adduced, and the details are unfit for publication. They may however be summarised as follonvs -I)rosceutrix was living as a servant in Willett's father's house, and the prisoner was lodging there. On the night in questicu a brother of prosecutrix was very ill, and she had been waiting up t. > see him. Feeling tired. af:er she returned, she went into her bedroom on the ground floor, and some time nfter she was aw"ke by finding Jones on her in bed and Willett standing by. She began to c-v out and ask what they were about., when prisoner thrust a hand- kerchief into her mouth, and held her hands. Jones effected his purpose, and then Willett made an attempt. She thereupon fainted, and could not speak positively as to what followed. When she came to herself, she commenced to make a row, and then the men made her take an oath that she would not tell her father. It appeared a little girl was present during the whole time. By the cross-examination it appeared prisoner had been in service at Coleman's, Queen's Hotel. Abersychan. Prosecutor denied having been in bed with Mr Coleman, and that was not the reason she was sent away. Wit- ness swore positively that she never said that she would not have said anything about it if the little girl bad not split.—Louisa Willett, a sister to one of the prisoners, gave evidence for the prosecution most re- luctantly, but her statements were decidedly in favour of the case for the prosecution. His Lordship summed up at great length, and the jury found a verdict of acquittal. MANSLAUGHTER AT BEDWELLTY. William Davies was indicted for the manslaughter of Peter Mitchell at Newport, on the 2nd of May, 1869. He was also charged under the coroner's inquisition with the same offence. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Pritchard prosecuted. The deceased and the pri- soner had been drinking at the Queen's Head Inn, and afterwards got fighting. During the fight deceased rc- ceived a blow on the lower part of the body, from the effects of which he died. The surgeon's evidence went to prove that deceased suffered from pains in the bowels and vomiting. The post mortem examination made by order r.f coroner, did not show any external marks of violence. The intestinal organs were extravasated, and there were other signs of great inflammation. The stomach was also inflamed and liver fatty, showing that the deceased was a drinking man. Death was caused by some violence, accelerated by the state in which de- ceased was when he received the blow. The surgeon stated that had he known nothing of the circumstances be would have concluded that death resulted from na- tural causes.—The jury found the prisoner not guilty. MANSLAUGHTER AT NEWPORT. William Morgan was indicted for the manslaughter of Robert Reardon, nt Newport, on the 2nd of June. Mr Bosanquet prosecuted. A quarrel arose between the prisoner and deceased at the Newport Police-station respecting a knife. The quarrel was continued in the street afterwards, when in a struggle that ensued the deceased received a blow which felled him to the ground ai.d his head received a violent blow, from the effects of which deceased subsequently died. It appeared that the prisoner struck in his own defence, and the jurv acquitted him. Julia Cotter wa3 in-ictid f< r and other articles, fha property of It: r ":¡ wellty, in the month of May. Mr Liurence p. v the prisons, who was not defended oy course, soner WP found guilty, an; sentenced to two cai < months hard labour. Mary Jane Clark was indicted for stealing a sovev^c-; the money of Ann Green, nt Abergavenny, mi tbe 24 of July. Mr Cieare prosecuted, and Mr £ txnt:;j.v- defended the prisi-ner. Prisoner was found guiltv, :u' recommended to nici-cy.-Onc- calendar months' hard labour. Richard Williams was indicted for burglariously en- tering the house of William Reynolds, butcher, ■Blac>- wood, Bedwellty, on the 24th of J uue. Mr Smythi q prosecuted. It appears that there was a pic-niq at t1 0 prosecutor's house on the day in question, and they dil not shut up the honse until about three o'clock the next morning. After this time they retired to bed, and some time after were aroused by hearing tbe prisoner trying to get into the house through the ventilator. Th1; alarm was raised, and prisoner decamped. He was, however, captured, and given into the hands of tha police. Prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to looaleR- dar months' bard labour, two previous convictionsbeir:/ proved against him. THE CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER AT NUVTORT. Annie Tanner, a single woman. was indictc-d for tb murder of her newly-born child, at Newport, on the 18th of May, 1869. Mr Harrington prosecuted, and Mr Joseph defended the prisoner. The first witness called was Elizabeth Millard. midwife, who was sent for to the house of William Lehay, at Newpoit,, called the British Flag. She there found the prisoner sitting in a chair, and asked her what was the matter, to which prisoner made no reply. Mrs Lehay, however, who was present, exclaimed, Oh, dear, the girl has been con- fined, and has done something with her child She fetched a policeman, and then prisoner took them to the top of the stairs, where was a small closet. Thero the dead body of a male child was found, with its throat cut. Mr David Lewis, surgeon, gave evidence to the effect that the child was born alive but that it was impossible to say whether or not it bad a separate exist ence. He was of a decided opinion that death was caused by some sharp instrument, such as a knife, and not, as alleged by the prisoner, with her fingernail during the delivery. Other evidence having been re- ceived, his lordship briefly stated to the jury that the law as affecting the crime of infanticide was in such au unsatisfactory state as not to deal adequately with it. Unless it could be distinctly proved that, prior to the commission of the act, the child bad a separate existence, the charge of murder could not be brought home to the prisoner. Under the circumstances he directed the jury to discard from their consideration the question of mur- der, and deal with the offence of concealment of birth. The jury, after a few moments' consideration, found the prisoner guilty of the minor offence. In sentencing her, his lordship spoke these words :—Prisoner at the bar, I have no doubt that what the surgeon savs is true. I have no doubt that you inflicted that wound, and I am quite of opinion that the jury. with the evidence ot the surgeon before them, are justified in saying that they cannot see that it was done before the child was com- pletely separated from the body; therefore they have acquitted you of tho murder of the child. But although the law makes that distinction, no man morally can see areal distinction. You are guilty of concealment of birth, and I am bound to treat it as being as bad a case of the kind as can be found. The law says that the utmost puaishment I can give is that of two years' im- prisonment with hard labour, and I am bound to inflict that upon you. BURGLARY AT ABERGAVENY. John Lloyd, of Blaenafon, was indicted for burglari- ously entering the dwelling-house of Eliza Lloyd, at Llanellen, and stealing a purse, money, and other arti- cles, her property.—Six calendar months' imprisonment. CHICKEN STEALING. Thomas Day and Benjamin Bevan were indicted fcr stealing chickens at Bedwellty on the ]9th of Jut;e.- Sentenced to one calendar month's imprisonment with hard labour. Mr Maddy prosecuted. i
TALYWAIN.
TALYWAIN. A LECTURE (the proceeds of which will be applied to the Varteg New Wesleynn Chapel Fund) was delivered on Tuesday evening at Pisgah Baptist Chapel (kindly lent for the occasion.) The Rev Robert Morton, of Bradford, was the lecturer the subject, Heroism and it was treated in a most able and eloquent manner. The chapel was well filled, and the chair was taken by the Rev Mr Jones, pastor of the chapel. PISGAH BAPTIST CHAPEL (Cwrdil Llenyddol).—On Monday evening last while many of the inhabitants of this neighbourhood were enjoying themselves at their respective club anniversaries, about from 200 to 300 persons assembled together at the above named place of worship from announcement made on the previous day that the choir from Ebenezer Baptist chapel, Blaenafon, would attend and give us a series of recitations and glees, admission gratis. The Pisgah choir, therefore, to give them welcome, met together and proceeded to the Ahersychan railway station to meet the Ebenezer choir, who came by the 6.46 p.m. train. They then united the choirs and sang several Welsh tunes and airs along the road until they reached the chapel. This combination gave great effect, for the whole rallev seemed to ring with music as they steadily wended their way. These meetings (translated in English called literary meetings") are becoming very popular in this place now, and are almost standing rival with those called Eisteddfods." These latter were some time a"-a held yearly, but have now nearly, if not entirel)-, vanished for want of able support, and the former has taken its place. But to return to Ebenezer choir, who, after airiving at the chapel and all necessary arrange- meuts made, they then prepared to fulfil their promise. The chairman, a gentleman who accompanied them, briefly opened the meeting and introduced the choir to, the audience who was waiting with intense interest for the entertainment, and which was well rendered, both the recitations and singing; several pieces having been called for repetition, but owing to the length of th- programme we were only favoured with" S [mee of the Vale," and The Prodigal Son." At the conclusion cf the programme, the respected minister of h, Rev R. Jones, in behalf of the Pisgah choir a:<d Sunday school, proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman for his able services, and to Ebenezer choir for providiv." for us such an excellent evening's entertainment. The motion seconded by Mr W. Jones, superintendent, and I heartily approved of by the audience was responded to bv the chairman for himself and the choir, remarking that what they did was only the return of kindness to Pisgah choir who gave a similar one at Blaenafon some few months ago, and he also hoped that this was only a 1commencenieiit of Union between the t "hvirs. The i g-lees were as follows: The Nigh' intrude" The Hut, in the midst of the country;" "The Stream;" Aly Father, or, the Prodigal Son;" "The Swan;" The little woman;" "The morning;" "I know a bank, &c "The Warrior's processkr.

!TREDEGAR.
TREDEGAR. FRIGHTFUL DEATH.—A yo..ng man named Daniel Jones, aged twenty-one, engaged in the puuJling mill, c lost his life in a fearful manner on Monday evening ast. He was employed as a roller, and in tipping- the bar into the rolls his feet slipped in the iron p.ntes, and each foot was drawn in a separate groove, and he was thus torn to death, his remains being collected in fragments, and conveyad to George Town, where he resided. The young folks engaged in the same part of the works were in great trouble at the terrible accident that had be- fallen their comrade. Lumps of flesh were taken from the rolls afterwards. We learn that there is some kind of a plate placed in front of the rolls to pi event sue:, j casualties, but these barriers pie removed foi- ence sake, and thu9 valuable lives are sacrificed now and then.
