, THE MEMBER FOR BRECON AND…
THE MEMBER FOR BRECON AND DISSENT. True Liberalism like true Charity, begins at home. To know the moral worth of a man it is necessary that he should be seen at home, among his neighbours, and to ascertain the private and public worth of Mr. Howel Gwyn, his unostentatious liberality to religious people, of all creeds and denominations, it is only ne- cessary to go into the county of Glamorgan. We have been led to make these observations by reading the following interesting account of a presentation to the Rev. Philip Griffiths, of Alltwen, in the Cambrian newspaper. Mr. Griffiths has been one of the most popu- lar and useful preachers in the Principality; .a man of God who attended to his duties as a Christian minister and pastor who eschewed party politics through a long life, and who, therefore, did great good in his day and gene- ration. The sentiments uttered by the Member for Brecon on this occasion does much credit to his hand and heart. PRESENTATION TO THE REV. PHILIP GRIFFITHS, OF ALLTWEN. The inhabitants of Pontardawe and Alltwen re- cently assembled at the chapel in Alltwen, to do honour to their respected pastor by presenting him with a purse containing £150, a silver salver, and goblet, as a recognition of their appreciation of his labours for many years amongst them. The chapel was neatly decorated with evergreens and around the gallery were affixed appropriate mottoes from Scripture. On the platform (which had been erected for the occasion) were the Chair- man (Wm. Gilbertson, Esq.), Howel Gwyn, Esq., M.P., J. Morgans, Esq.; Gellygron, G. LewIs, Esq., Alltychan, Dr. Price, Glyntwrch, Rev. Dr. Rogers, Swansea, Revds, Dr. Rees, E. Griffiths, Swansea, T. Mathews, Neath, J. Jones, Carmel, H. Rees, Ystradgynlais, D. Jones, Ystalyfera, E. Williams, Ystalyfera, B. Thomas, Gwrnos, H. Edwards, Pontardawe,, and J. Evans, of Gellyonen. The meeting was opened by singing, and the Rev J. H. Jones, of Carmel, reading the latter part of the 12th chapter and the first part of the 13th chapter of Hebrews, after which the Rev. Dr. Rees proposed, and the Rev. E. Griffiths seconded, that Mr. Gilbertson should take the chair, which met with a general and enthusiastic assent. Mr Gilbertson said that it gave him very great pleasure to preside on that occasion, as he had known and respected Mr. Griffiths for many years, he was well known and much respected by every one in that room. He would not be tempted to speak at any length, but hoped that he (Mr. Griffiths) may yet be spared to enjoy the fruit -of his labours, and when he left this place for another world he hoped he would be met with language which that question suggested (pointing 1 11 11 to and reading one of the placards suspended be- hind the platform)-" Well done, thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou into the joy of your Lord." Letters were read from E. Evans, Esq., Neath, Rev: John Griffiths, Rector of Neath, and the Rev. J. Watkius, Llanelly, in kind language, regretting that they were unable to attend to take pITt in the proceedings. The Revds. Dr. Rees and Jones addressed the meeting in Welsh. The Rev. E. Griffiths said that he had much pleasure in addressing that meeting on behalf of his old friend, Mr. Griffiths, whom he had known for the last fifty years as a good man and a popular preacher. He still commands the same warmth and the same exciting mode of preaching, and if at this meeting it was a question of his resigning the post which he had held at Alltwen for so many years instead of being the recipient of so handsome a mark of their friendship towards him, he did not doubt for a moment but that would press him to remain. By the blessing of God he had been blessed with a good helpmate-a good wife. The speaker concluded with the following impromptu lines :— Though good these days, we look for better still; And not in vain; it is God's gracious will. When Christ shall reign supreme through every land, Both earth and hell must yield to his command. With heart and hand now let us all unite To hasten this by doing what is right; Confide in God, his grace can conquer all, The gold will come, and silver at his call. The Rev. Mr. Matthews addressed the meeting in English and Welsh in a feeling manner. He alluded to the ministerial labours and popularity of Mr. Griffiths, whom he had known for forty years, and hoped he would live for many years to come. Howel Gwyn, Esq., M.P., on rising, was re- ceived with laud acclamation. The honourable gentleman said:—Mr. Chairman, Friends, and Neighbours,—I regret that I am unable to address you in your own language, that you might compre- hend what I have to say. I need not tell you that we are come here to-day to do honour to him to whom honour is due. I have known this good and excellent man for many years, both as a friend and neighbour. (Turning to Mr. Griffiths). Rev. Sir, --I hope you will feel this to be the proudest day of your life to see your friends gathering around you, to offer you those very handsome articles, as a mark of their esteem for you, and I hope that you may live for many years to enjoy the fruits of your labours. I now address you as a friend, neighbour, and tenant. In addressing you as a friend, yon have always been found a good one, both to the ministry to which you are attached and to those'Vhom you take into your friendship. As a neighbour you are always ready to give ad- vice, which has always been characterised as being good and earnest; and in addressing you as a tenant, I have known you for more than 36 years, and have found you as punctual and regular in discharging your duties as I could wish. During your ministerial labours I find it recorded that you have baptised 2,632 persons, admitted 1,874 mem- bers to the churches under your pastoral care, have performed religious services at 1,561 funerals, and preached about 8,420 sermons. These are won- derful statistics, and it is co be hoped that every sermon that you have preached has done the good intended, and that you (for we shall all sooner or later go to that place from whence we shall never return) shall be able to stand before the judgment seat and give a good and faithful account of our ministry. We now beg of you to accept this silver salver and cup together with this purse containing 150 sovereigns, the greater part of which has been contributed in small sums by the members of your congregation. We do not offer it to you as a charity to an indigent man, but as a token of the regard and esteem in which you are held by your friends. Mr. Gilbertson said that, before he asked the Rev. Owen Jones to read the address in Welsh, he (Mr. Gilbertson) must endorse what the Rev. Mr. Matthews said in reference to Mr. Jones- "we wish that we had said in a great many more Owen Jones's." After this the Rev. Philip Grif- fiths rose amid loud acclamation and thanked Mr. Gilbertson and Mr. Gwyn, and their friends for their kind attention. He did not know how far he deserved this mark of respect shewn him, but he had at all times a sincere desire to do his duty. He referred to the many difficulties he had to en- counter on his first entry into life, and he thanked God that by His aid he was enabled to surmount them all. He hoped that he would be able to drink milk from the very handsome goblet (for he had drank nothing but water for many years), and that he had grown strong from drinking it. He did not think he should be able to build another chapel, but he hoped that he might have to build a school. Dr. Rees, of Swansea Rev. H. Rees, Ystalfera Rev. B. Thomas, Gurnos Dr. W. Price, Glantwrch Rev. Charles Williams, Ystalfera Rev. J. Morgan, Gellygron, severally addressed the meeting. 9 The Rev. Dr. Rees proposed a vote of thanks to W. Gilbertson, Esq.. for the able manner in which he conducted the meeting, and Howel Gwyn, Esq., M.P., for his kindness in attending on that occasion. This brought a very pleasant meeting to an end.

Whilst on this subject we may state that the total amount of stakes won on the English turf in 1866 was X,300,250 10s., being a considerable amount over that of the previous year.

- BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS.…
BOROUGH PETTY SESSIONS. These Sessions were held on Monday last, at the Town Hall, before John Davies, Esq., Mayor, Joseph Joseph, and Lewis Hughes, Esqrs.. Mr. D. W. J. Thomas informed their worships that he appeared before them for Mrs. Ann Wil- liams, to ask for their order for protection against her husband, who had deserted her about 16 years ago they had been married about 18 years, and since her husband had left her, she had kept her- self by hard labor and industry he wished to get their protection in accordance with the Divorce Act the reason of the application was that she had a little property which she wished to protect against her husband he would call her forward for their worships to put any question to her they thought proper. Ann Williams deposed that she was married in the Priory church 18 years next June her hus- band left her about two years afterwards she had one child her husband ill used her and behaved very cruel to her. Their worships granted the order. They then adjourned till twelve o'clock, when the following magistrates were present — The Mayor, Joseph Joseph, Esq., John Prothero, Esq., and Lewis Hughes, Esq. THE FISHING CASE.—This long pending case which has been adjourned so many times, came before their worships for another hearing. Mr. T. B. Bishop appeared for Doctor Williams, and Mr Price appeared for Mr. Pritchard. Mr. Bishop asked their worships if they would wish to hear the whole of the evidence again he thought it would be better, as Mr. Lloyd was not present on any of the previous occasions. Mr. Lloyd, of Huntington Court, near Hereford, said that he understood from the reports he had read that the matter had been left to stand over that he may be present to prove his signature which was attached to a card produced in that Court by the defendant in the case before them. After some conversation it was decided that the whple case should be gone into. David Evans deposed that he was the landlord of the Bridgend Inn, the property of Dr. Williams he remembered Friday, the 19th of October last he saw Mr. Pritchard, the defendant, fishmg on the gravel at the back of his house on that day Mr Pritchard said that he saw a salmon in the water and asked if he should go through the house to try to catch it, and if he caught it he (the witness) should have half of it; witness told him he could go, and went with him he went back into the house and his wife told him that Dr. Williams would not be willing for Pritchard to fish there he im- mediately went back and told Pritchard he must go off the premises at once; previous to that Pritchard asked him to go to his house and ask his son for the worm tackle witness went part of the way to get it; when he ordered Pritchard off the ground he said he would go and put his stockings on and fish the water all over witness had or- dered other parties off the ground previously he did not recollect what he said, if he said anything to Pritchard after he ordered him off the premises; when Pritchard said he would go and put his stockings on (witness) did not recollect saying you may do that if you like. Mr. James Williams, coroner, deposed that he was the owner of the Bridgend Inn, and the pro- perty adjoining below he claimed the right of the fishery opposite that property to the centre of the river he had ordered the tenant of the Bridgend Inn not to allow persons to fish there he had no- tice boards put up at each end of the property pro- hibiting any person fishing there without leave he had cut the timber on the property on the banks of the river and considered it was his on the day in question he was coming along by Watergate when he saw somebody fishing below the bridge, when he got nearer he saw Pritchard and Evans on the gravel at the back of the Bridgend Inn he went into the house and told Mrs. Evans that he did not allow any one to go there without his con- sent, and not to allow Pritchard to go there again; he reserved the right of the fishing to himself; Evans, the tenant, had permission to allow any person that stayed in the house to fish in the waters opposite his property, but not to anyone else he had no right to allow Pritchard to fish there he (Mr. Williams) never had a ticket from Mr. John Lloyd to fish in those waters he probably had bought a ticket belonging to the Association, but he never assumed any other person could issue cards to fish in his waters but himself; he refused to grant his waters to the Association persons had asked him; Mr. Lloyd's man, Beswick, had asked him he refused. A long discussion followed between the advo- cates. Mr. Price addressed their worships, and said that his client was fully justified in going to fish in the waters from the U sk Mill weir down to the Island fields, according to the rules of the Usk Association, signed by Mr. John Lloyd, jun., who leased the rights of the fishery from the Markets Committee he was in a position to produce evi- dence to show that the Corporation claimed the right of that fishery less than 20 years ago. Mr. John Lloyd, jun., deposed that he had leased the fishery in dispute from the Markets Committee and considered that he had a perfect right to issue tickets to allow parties to go and fish there; he was the secretary to the River Usk Association he produced the lease he had received from the Markets Committee. Mr. Bishop objected to the lease being put in as evidence, but their worships allowed it to be put in. The Clerk then read the lease, which went to show that the lease of the manorial rights of the several fisheries in the borough of Brecon, were granted to John Lloyd, Esq., jun., his heirs and assigns, at the rate of one guinea per annum, on behalf of the United River Usk Association, from the Usk Mill weir, both sides of the river, down to the Island fields. Mr. Bishop asked what were the names of the gentlemen who formed the Association. Mr. Lloyd said that he declined to answer that question. Mr. Bishop said that there had been no grant'of manorial right of fisheries in the borough of Brecon since the year 1808, at which time the said weir was made by the Canal Company, but if they would refer to the Charter of Brecon they would find no mention of the manorial rights of fisheries. Mr, Lloyd. said that he considered he had a right to grant permission in the particular part dis- puted, and that he had the same right tG do so as Mr. Cobb had to grant him a lease. Mr. Bishop: In whose name do you claim is it your own, or in the name of the Association, os 'secretary. Mr. Lloyd declined answering that question he would not be certain when he received the tickets from Pritchards he believed it was after that ac- tion had been commenced; he had rented other fisheries from other individuals. Mr. Price handed in the New Markets Act, 1862, and called the attention of their worships to section 21. Mr. Bishop said that that section only went to show that the Markets Committee laid claim to the several fisheries, (if any) in brackets, but if there were any in existence they would have been mentioned. I Mr. Erasmus Pritchard was examined as to the time the tickets were returned to Mr. Lloyd, and upon oath said that they were returned 3 months previous to the commencement of that action, and called the attention of Mr. Lloyd to their cor- respondence. Mr. Lloyd, on going through his papers, found a L letter of May last, and handed it over to their wor- ships, which stated that Mr. Pritchard had only sold two tickets, No.'s 19 and 20, 19 being the num- ber of Mr. Pritchard's ticket. Edward Brown deposed that he remembered the years 1849 and 1850, Samnel Powell, who was po- liceman at that time, gave information that he saw him (witness) fishing below the bridge, and Mr. Roger Watkins summoned him, and he was sent to gaol for seven days he was on the gravel oppo- site the Bridgend property, there was another per- son with him he was filled Is. for trespassing, not, for fishing.—Cross-examined by Mr. Bishop, and after a deal of hard pressing, he admitted that he was there with the white cob" or net that was the first time he ever was interrupted, and he had known the place since he was a boy he always fished there afterwards with a rod and line until the Association was formed, and was never inter- rupted after by the Corporation Mr. John Powell was the Mayor at the time. Henry Martin deposed that he was a native of the town of Brecon, and was about 72 years of age he had been a fisherman all his life-time he had fished in the disputed waters very often, but he always had leave from Mr. David Prosser that was many years ago he never went there until he got leave he never understood that the Corpora- tion claimed the fishery. Other evidence was adduced, after which their Worships ordered the Court to be cleared the Court was re-opened in about 20 minutes, when the Mayor said that his brother magistrates dif- fered from him he was of opinion that Pritchard did not trespass, but the majority of his brother magistrates were against him, but they inade the fine as low as possible, that was Is. and costs. AFFILIATI ON. -John Morgan was summoned by Margaret Williams, charged with being the'reputed father of her illegitimate male child. Mr. Games appeared for the complainant, and Mr. T. B. Bishop for the defendant. This case occupied the court for about three hours, the evidence being of the usual character in cases of the kind, and better imagined than de- scribed at the conclusion their worships made an order for 2s. 6d. per week from the 2nd day of September last.

The recess is fronted by two low pointed arches, having a rich moulding' of sculp- tured flowers, and springing from a central and two lateral columns of dark variegated marble. The capitals, bases, and other mouldings are of white,as are two outer piers which flank the whole, and support a square hood, the central spandrel of which is occupied by an armorial shield within a sunken foliated circle, while on either side are seated figures of Justice and Mercy, carved in re- lief. Within the recess is vaulted in two bays, with ribs along the loin of groining, springing from foliated corbels. Upon the raised floor is laid a coffin shaped slab of black marble, upon which is in- laid a red cross, adorned with a nimbus, and having at its foot a Paschal Lamb in Sienna marble.

il BRECON RELIEF FUND.
il BRECON RELIEF FUND. On Monday eveninglast the following gentlemen assembled at the Town Hall for the purpose of considering the best mode of relieving the poor of e orough (in accordance with the suggestion of Dr, Lucas, who is at all times most anxious that the poor of Brecon should be provided with every possible comfort that lay in his power), viz John Davies, Esq., mayor; Doctor Lucas, D, Thomas, Esq., D. W. J. Thomas, Esq., Joseph Joseph, Esq Rev. H. Williams, John Prothero, Esq., Rev R. Price, Messrs. T. B. Jones, Evan Jones, John Jones, Alfred A. Walton, Thomas Trew, Williim Evans, John Bridgwater, G. W. Powell, Esq., hon. sec., &c., &c. Some little conversation took place, and it was arranged that the gentlemen should take districts, and be provided with a quantity of tickets of the value of Is. each, and, a* the necessity mav be rive as many tickets as their wants would require,"for bread, tea, and sugar, and that they be allowed to go and get the goods at what shop they thought proper. On the following morning the gentlemen again met and proceeded actively to execute their undertaking and we are informed that durino- that and following days tickets were distributed for the relief of the poor, which does great credit to those gentlemen who have so actively taken the matter in hand.
OURJ3FOOD PROSPECTS.
OURJ3FOOD PROSPECTS. ■ to calculations by an experienced agriculturist, the food questoin until next harvest stands as follows :—The. annual consumption of wheat and flour in the United Kingdom may be taken at 18,500,000 quarters, of which our average home growth is 12,000,000 quarters, and our average annual importation 6,500,000 quarters. The crop of 1866 is one-eighth deficient-namelv, 1,500,000 quarters, leaving 8,000;000 quarters, to. be imported between harvest 1866 and harvest 1867. The average annual cost of wheat and flour for the last three years has been(at 41s. per quarter) £ 37,925,000; and the probable cost of the current year's consumption (at 58s. per quarter) will be £ 53,650,000; showing an excess of cost of wheat and fiour beyond the average of three preceding years of £ 15,725,000. This makes no allowance for diminished consumption, as the higher price is more than met by the general high. rate of wages; and these figures apply to wheat and flour only, and do not include the increase of price on other description of corn.

The Times seems to have on the whole no very friendly feeling towards the Conservative Attorney-General for which reason we suppose it is that our contem- porary finds fault with Sir John for not devoting his speech at the Shirehall to" Companies(Limiteci) Contractors' Lines," and the responsibility of directors and managers, i n stead of to politics, Reform or electoral questions. If Sir John had shown'so- little knowledge of the situation, the occasion, and what was expected of him as to introduce these unseasonable toqics before constituents chiefly representing the agricultural interest, and who came to be informed upon more Imperial questions, he might indeed then have laid himself open to the charge of being out of place and time. It would be the height of absurdity to call the electors of West Gloucester together at the!ShirehaH*to give a semi- legal lecture upon the nature of trading bodies, notwithstanding the opinion expressed by the Times to the contrary
