TALGARTH.
TALGARTH. THE LIGHTING OF THE TOWN.—Some time since there was a talk about starting a Gas Company, 0, the limited liability principle, for the purpose of lighting this town with gas. So far, however, the matter has gone no farther than talk, and this has become less and less. We are sorry to find that thi, is so, and still more sorry should we be if the thing were allowed to drop altogether. It seems rather behind the times to find a place of the size of Tal. garth with no means of lighting its streets by night, and we think there is sufficient public spirit in the place to prevent its labouring under such a reproach for very much longer. We are given to understand it is thought by some persons that the town is too scattered for it to be possible for a gas company to pay. There certainly is some truth in the objection thus raised, as to the town being rather scattered, but we do not think it is so much so as to prevent the scheme from answering. We are of opinion that a gas company might be formed which shou d embrace in its operations not only Talgarth, but also Bronllys, which is only about a mile distant. The great ex. pense is of course at the commencement of the under- taking, but if the thing were only set about in earnest we have no doubt the necessary shares would soon be taken up when once afloat, the working expenses would be comparatively light. In order that the thing may not be undertaken in the dark, we would suggest that the powers that be should take the opinion of a competent person as to the cost of works of the necessary size, as well as the probable returns. In order to arrive at the latter, the inhabitants generally might be canvassed, or a public meeting called, and each would be able to say how many bur- ners he would use. The quantity likely to be con- sumed could then be easily calculated. The cost of obtaining this preliminary information would he very small, and, even if the result should be against the establishment of the works, it would be a satisfaction to know that it was nor owing to supineness and want of spirit that the thing bad not been c'arri. d out, but to other circumstances over which there was n., con- trol. We do not think, however, that the "pinion of a competent manwould be againstthe practicability of the plan, and we believe that it would eventually pay its shareholders, not to speak of the immense advan- tage and great boon it would be to I he town generally. We shall hope to hear soon of some active steps being taken in the matter, and shall be very happy to "report progress." THE MARKET HOUSE COMPANY.—We reported some time ago the proceedings of a meet ii)g held here for the purpose of establishing a Market House Company on the limited liability principle. The want of a proper and convenient building in which to hold the markets is very great indeed. The preent building is quite a temporary affair, and in many respects not what could be wished and the subject having been mooted, the meeting alluded to was held. At this meeting plans were produced, which had been drawn by the Rev. James Morgan, the vicar, and a site comisting of a piece of wa,te ground near The Alill was fixed upon as being the most eligible. It was also arranged that the vicar should wait on Lord Ashburnham, to get his consent to lease this plot of ground for the purpose. The result of this step is as yet unknown to the inha- bitants, though it is feared that the reply to the request was not favourable. We trust, however, that this is not the case, and that some further steps will speedily be taken to bring about the desired end. At present the market is a tolerably good one and we wish not only for it to keep up, but for it to go on improving. This it can hardly be expected to do without a proper meeting place is provided for farmers and dealers, and the sooner this is done the better. PETTY SESSIONS, WEDNESDAY, before the Rev. H. BOLD and W. PERROTT, Esq. ASSAULT CASE.- William Watkins, farmer, of Tre- gunter, pleaded guilty to an assault upon Caroline Mary Dance, on the 14th May.—The complainant stated that the dffendant was going across to the station, and walked on their potatoes she asked him not to do so, and he became very abusive, and said he had a right to go there her husband heard the dis- pute, and came and put the defendant back; defendant then struck her in the face.—The magistrates ordered the defendant to pay the costs, amounting to 6s. 6d.— The same defendant was then charged with being drunk and riotous on the same day. He pleaded guilty,and the facts having been stated byP.S. Wdaon, ^sts, was inflicted. ILLEGITIMACY.—John ,/ones, or J^mas, UNUA O AU. was summoned by Lydia Phillips, of Sorgwym, to show cause why he should not contribute towards the support of her illegitimate child, of which she alleged him to be the father. The defendant did not appear, and the case was proved in his absence. The magis- trates made an order for payment of Is. 6d. a week, and the expenses. V AGRANCY.-John Williams was charged by P.S. Wilson with being drunk and begging at Talgartb. The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, is an old hund, and only came out of prison on Saturday. He was sent back for a month's hard labour. SETTLED.-Thomas Price was summoned by Mr. Moses Webb for refusing to pay a church-rate, but the case was settled.-James Williams, of Crickadarn, was summoned by Ann Pugb, of the same place, for an assault on the 6th May. With the consent of the magistrates, the case was settled out of court.
« TREDEGAR.
« TREDEGAR. COUNTY COURT, WEDNESDAY, before Judge J. M. HERBERT. There were for hearing 75 adjourned cases, 25 not served last month, 18 judgment summonses, and 350 new cases. The following are the only ones that pos-ess public interest. Catherine Jenkins v. R'i'liam Thomas. -This was a clain. for beer, which had been suppli d b, the plaintiff during her widowhood. She had smre been married to William Miles, but the license was still taken out in her Damp.-His Honour observed that no married woman could sue in her own name. The Clse should have been brought in the husband's name, who had taken possession of her and her business. On exami- nation of the accounts, His Honour found that a portion of the beer had been supplied by the new husband, and then enquired when the second marriage took place—The wife said she could not recollect when they were married.—His Honour (jocosely) Why no man or woman ever forgets his or her wedding day hut this being the second mirriage, it passes away from the memory like an old song. (General laughter.)—Ultimately the woman rernemberi d that she was married in the beginning of the summer, and said the reason the license had not been transferred was, she was afraid their goods would be taken to.- His Honour It is the revenue officer's duty to see to that, and not mine. The plaintiff, being a married woman, has no claim. The husband should have sued. I must laonsuit the present plaintiff, and cannot allow costs. Jones v. Lewis.-Claim of 12s. for clothes. Defen- dant's wife appeared, and admitted the debt, but said that in consequence of being badly off she could not pay much. Her husband was a tailor.-His Honour Well, the tailors won't work I could not get a coat made last week because they were all on strike. (Laughter.)—The defendant said her husband was not one of the strikers. She offered to pay 2s. per month, and judgment was given accordingly. John Jones v. John HitcAings.-I,his was a claim for shoes.-Defendant's wife appeared, at d said she could pay only la. per month, as her husband was a collier. —His Honour What is his getringsf-The wife pro- duced his three last tickets, and upon calculation, His Honour found the defendant's wages averaged 16s. per week. Having a wife and three children to k ep, judgment was given for 2s. per month. Alexander v. Wilson.-This was a claim for drapery. The defendant disputerl the claim. Plaintiff proved that he supplied the defendant's wife with a muffler, a trousers piece, and a pair of blankets.—Defendant said he did not know anything about it.—The wife was called, and said she obtained the goods without the knowledge of her husband.—His Honour Who slept under the blankets? (Laughter.)- De, en dant I did not, neither have I seen them.—Defendant's wife then said she was in trouble at the time, and she had pawned them in Brynmawr.—Mr. Plews (for plaintiff) asked if the defendant had bsen in prison.—The wife: No, but I wanted money while he was up there.—Mr. lUews Then you pawned plaintiffs goods to have money to pay the lawyer.—The wife It cost me a lot of money.- -His Honour thought defendant was not liabta for the blankets, as they were had without his knowledge and then pawned. He gave judgment for the amount claimed for the muffler and trousers piece. Alexander v. Charles Teacle.-CJaim for drapery, which defendant disputed, and said he never allowed his wife to deal with these Scotchmen, and if ever they came to his house when he was in he ordered them to go on further. (Laughter.)—His Honour The defen- dant has disputed those accounts before, and beaten the packmen. I wonder they call there.—Defendant's wife was called, and said her daughter had received goods from the plaintiff.—Defendant denied being in any way responsible for goods supplied by packmen either to his wife or daughter.—His Honour also held that the defendant was not liable, and gave judgment in his favour.—[The plaintiff had about 60 cases, and the business having, as usual, been bought and sold so many times, it became almost too complicated for His Holtour to onder stand who was the real owner of the business.
