Haverfordwest Petty Sessions. A TIFF OVER A VACCINATION ORDER. These sessions were held on Monday last before the Mayor (Mr T. L. James), Dr. F. R. Greenish and Mr L. Roberts. DRUNKENNESS. Joseph Laugharne, Quay Street, was summoned for drunkenness and disorderly conduct in Castle Square on 29th June. P.S. Phillips proved. Defendant struck a man named Reynolds twice, and did not go away until witness threatened to lock him up. Fined 5s. POSSESSION. j Mr Isaac Young, Hill Street, sought an order foi possession against Elijah Glass, Ruther Lane, of a dwelling-house and premises. Mr Young swore he let a dwelling-house to Elijah Glass at a weekly tenancy, but it was understood, al- though there was no specific bargain, that three months' notice would be given. The rent, which was 2s 6d a week, was paid quarterly. An order for possession in 21 days was granted. AFFILIATION. Elizabeth Ann Thomas, Prendergast, applied for an affiliation order against John Davies, Lower Cerbyd. Defendant admitted the paternity. The plaintiff said the child was a girl. Defendant had agreed to pay 2s (id and had paid all the expenses up to date. An order for the payment of 2s a week for 15 years was made. VACCINATION. The adjourned case of Mr E. H. Ellis against Mr T. H. Martin, auctioneer, for neglecting to have his child vaccinated was called. It was postponed from the last day on defendant's request for evidence as to the appoint- ment of Mr Ellis. Mr R. A. G. James, Clerk to the Board of Guardians, now attended with the minute book of the Board. Clerk (Mr R T. 1'. Williams): Why don't you vacci- nate this daughter of yours ? Mr Martin I have never made any objection to it, but I object to Mr Ellis's appointment as not being in order. Clerk I'm afraid your objection won't hold. Mr Ellis said Mr James would read the appointment. Clerk Do you want all this proved, Mr Martin ? It means only expenses increased. Mr Martin If the case goes against me to-day, I'll go further with it. Clerk: There is no doubt about Mr Ellis's appoint- ment. Mr Martin: If you rule against me on that, I am satisfied. The Clerk read the appointment from the minute book, from which it seemed that Mr Ellis was appointed on the motion of Mr Wm. Roberts, seconded by Mr T. Rosser. The date of the appointment was not mentioned. Mr Martin said Mr Ellis had not been re-appointed. Clerk There is no necessity for any re-appointment. Mr Ellis said he did not even want to be appointed, as the Registrar of births and deaths succeeded vaccination officers. The Clerk remarked that Mr Ellis laid the information under Section 29, which asked for a fine, and not for an order. Mr Martin I did not refuse vaccination. Clerk You have neglected it, which is the same thing. Mr Ellis then gave formal evidence. He swore that Mr Martin's child was born on the 7th February, 1900. At the end of four months the public vaccination officer receives a list of children, who have become four months old. Mr Martin's child appeared on that list. Dr. Lloyd sent a notice that he would be there on a certain day- the notice was sent on the 26th June and he called on the 28th. Mr Ellis produced Dr. Lloyd's list. Mr Martin Dr. Lloyd had not that paper with him. Clerk If you want the thing proved, Dr. Lloyd will have to be called. Mr Martin said that his child suffered from pneumonia for some time, and it was unfair to him to have to pay 5s for a certificate every four months. Why were members of the Board of Guardians allowed to have their children unvaccinated r Mr Ellis said there was no charge for a postponement, which could be obtained on a certificate of Dr. Lloyd or of Mr Martin's family doctor. Mr Martin: I would not allow Dr. Lloyd to do it. Might I look at Dr. Lloyd's entry r Mr Ellis There it is with that cross refused." Mr Martin said he did not refuse. He heard his wife tell Dr. Lloyd that she intended to have the child vaccinated by her own medical man. Clerk: It is now the middle of July, and it has not yet been done. Mr Martin repeated that that was simply due to the child not being well. Mr Ellis stated that he had sent Mr Martin two notices to have the child vaccinated. Mr Martin replied that he had only received one. Mr Ellis continued that he had received only one post- ponement, Mr Martin I'll submit to a fine, but I won't pay. Mr Ellis said Mr Martin had received every fair play. Mr Martin: I know exactly the reason why you summon me. You are fighting the same as the Boers from behind a boulder; you are not fighting fair. It's characteristic of you. As for Mr James, we will deal with him in another place. Other cases having been referred to, Mr Martin said that Dr. Brigstocke had offered Mr Ellis to give certificates for postponement. Mr Ellis retorted that he would not take anything of the kind by word of mouth. Mr Martin No, you are a man of great importance. Mr Ellis: Yes, very great importance. A fine of 2s 6d with 10s 6d costs was imposed on Mr Martin. Mr Martin; I won't pay. Clerk (jocosely) The bench will allow you a month. Cases against Chas. Hughes and Wm. Henry Pritchard were adjourned. TRANSFERS. Permanent transfers were granted to Mr B. F. Chalk of the license lately held by Mr W. H. George, and to Mrs Davies for the Market Cellars. Supt. Francis had no objection in either case, and said that he had received very good testimonials in regard to Mr Chalk. This was all the business.

Pembrokeshire Joint Standing Committee. REWARDING A CONSTABLE FOR BRAVERY. THE CONDITION OF THE CASTLE TOWER. A meeting of this committee of the County Council was held in the Council Chamber yesterday morning. Mr N. A. Roch presided, and there were also present :-Dr. G. Griffith, Messrs R. Carrow, Jos. Thomas, Capt. Gower, J. C. Yorke, J. H. Griffiths, S. B. Sketch, Lemuel Jones, W. Robinson, W. H. Walters, Robert George, and Chas. Mathias. THE POLICE ACT. The Chief Constable wrote forwarding a circular from the Chief Constable of Lancashire relating to the proposed amendments in the Police Act of 1900, and asking for the opinion of the Standing Joint Committee on them. The amendments suggested an increased scale of pension. On the motion of Mr Walters, the circular was referred to a small committee for consideration. REWARDING A CONSTABLE. Mr Mathias moved his notice that a subscription be given to P.C. Nash, of Solva, for his bravery in taking a gun from a man who was mad drunk." He said they could not give less than X,2 to the constable, as he ran very great risk. The man threatened to shoot his land- lady, and the muzzle of the gun was pointed straight at the constable before he could get round to take it from him. The Chief Constable, being asked his opinion, said that Mr Mathias presided at the petty sessions, when the man was charged with assaulting the constable, and knew more about the case than he did. He had only heard the constable's version. Mr Carrow was quite in agreement with the principle of rewarding constables for bravery. Dr. Griffith said there were a great many acts of bravery performed by the police, but he could not say if this was a case in which to grant a reward. The sergeant in Milford last year was attacked with a bayonet and showed great bravery in arresting the man. Mr J. H. Griffiths seconded the resolution. Capt. Gower asked if the gun had been discharged because if it had not been the action was no more dangerous than many of "the acts with which attendants in asylums had to deal. Mr Mathias replied that the gun had been discharged and narrowly missed the constable. The Chief Constable said P.C. Nash showed great pluck and discretion. He naturally considered that, if any of the police, whom he had the honour to command, did an act of bravery, they should be rewarded. The granting of rewards would be a strong inducement to young constables to show more determination when necessary amongst a lot of roughs. Ou a show of hands, four voted for granting the reward. The other members, who did not vote, said they were not opposed to the proposal, but they wished for more information. THE FISHGUARD LOCK-UP. The Clerk (Mr W. Davies George) read a report from the Surveyor on the proposed improvements in Fishguard lock-up. A plan was enclosed, which showed that a new cell and prisoner's yard were to be erected. Mr Carrow said if they did not carry out these im- provements they might have to build a new lock-up at a cost of about ;ciooo. Mr Yorke supported the carrying out of the improve- ments. He said they could be done at a cost of d6150 or £200. The altered arrangements met the approval of the sergeant at Fishguard, who gained a pantry by them. The Chairman said they could pass a resolution ap- proving of the plans and referring them to the Inspector to see if they meet the objections raised. On the motion of Mr Walters, seconded by Mr Lemuel Jones, the plans were ordered to be submitted to H.M. Inspector of Prisons, and, if approved by him, to be sent to the Home Secretary. THE PRESERVATION OF THE CASTLE. Mr Carrow mentioned that the tower of the old Castle was in a serious condition. Some years ago they had it carefully mortared up so as to be satisfied as to the progress of the decay taking place from time to time. The last report from the Surveyor showed that the tower was in imminent danger, and the Surveyor could not tell whether the necessary repairs would cost X50 or £200, as he could not tell without examination how far iron girders would have to be put up to support the walls. It would be interesting to know if the county of Pem- broke was desirous of preserving these relics of antiquity. Mr Lemuel Jones: These white elephants! The Chairman understood that the County Council had entered into some agreement to preserve the Castle as a National Monument. On the motion of Capt. Gower, seconded by Mr Carrow, the matter was referred to the County Council. TROOPER WARLOW. Mr Sketch asked if any application had been received from Trooper Warlow for re-instatement. The Chief Constable replied that he had kept the place open for him, but Warlow would be under pay from the Government until about the 8th August. THE CHIEF CONSTABLE'S UNIFORM. I Dr. Griffith said that in January last the Committee passed a resolution granting £ 10 to the Chief Constable for the purchase of a uniform, but no notice had been taken of it. The Chief Constable: I have never been supplied with the money, and, in the next place, I cannot get it for £10. Dr. Griffith replied that, if the uniform could not be got for that sum, the Committee would no doubt be pre- pared to grant an additional sum, but he thought some notice should been taken of their order. He did not believe in passing resolutions and having no notice taken of them. The Chief Constables of Carmarthen and Cardigan had got their uniforms for less than t 10 each. He would like to see the Chief Constable provided with a uniform worthy of the appointment he held as the first officer in the county. He had been asked by several people why the Chief Constable did not attend the Assizes in uniform. If the Chief Constable could prove that he required more money than the Chief Constables of Cardigan and Carmarthen, he would be quite prepared to move that the extra money be granted. The Chief Constable said the matter had not been neglected. The money had been included in the esti- mate, and he got an estimate of the cost from Dollan's. This estimate, which did not include breeches or boots, amounted to £ 1G. The Chairman said that the auditor remarked that that Committee gave more than other counties for clothing for the police. The Clerk sent for the letters read in January last from the Chief Constables of Cardigan and Carmarthen, from which it appeared that these gentlemen got full uniforms at X9 13s 6d each. Mr Mathias said their Chief Constable should have a frog coat, and he should be decently dressed. Mr Lemuel Jones did not see that they required any- thing more in Pembrokeshire than in Carmarthen or Cardigan. Mr Sketch proposed and Mr Robinson seconded that the Clerk write to the Chief Constables of Carmarthen and Cardigan for the names of the' contractors who supplied them with the uniforms, and then communicate with the contractors as to the cost. This was carried unanimously. The Chief Constable, however, asked the Committee to give him £ 10 and he would get his own uniform. Dr. Griffith proposed and Mr Sketch seconded, that XIO 10a be granted, as that was the sum mentioned in the resolution of January last, on condition that the uniform should be purchased at once. The first resolution was withdrawn, and this carried instead. The Chief Constable said he might have to go to London to get measured and might want extra funds for that purpose. Mr Jones: Any tailor in Haverfordwest will measure you. Chief Constable: Not for another man to make the suit. The Chief Constable also mentioned that he would probably get measured when the contractor's representa- tive attended at the Station in the October quarter. I POLICE EXPENSES. I A sum of £ 1,245 10s 2d, expenses for the police from the 1st October to the 31st December,. 1901, was sanctioned. I CHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT. There was nothing of any special interest in the quarterly report of the Chief Constable. The number of indictable offences was 33, for which 27 persons were arrested, which showed an increase of 17 in the number of crimes, and 11 in the number arrested as compared with the corresponding quarter last year. Of the 27 arrested, four were discharged, six committed for trial, 17 summarily dealt with, two of whom were acquitted and 15 convicted. The other offences reported numbered 425, of which 164 were for drunkenness and seven for permitting drunkenness. For these offences 360 were convicted, 34 committed to prison, and 326 fined. I THE MILFORD RIOTS. Bills were received for 30s, cost of repairs done to Milford police station in consequence of the militia attack on it during the training last year. Mr Jones Send the bill to the War Office. A sum of 30s was granted to P. S. Brinn, on condition that he paid lls to Messrs Cole, who had carried out the repairs.

Main Roads Committee. THE SUBSIDIES AND THE NEW MAIN ROADS. Mr N. A. Roch, chairman, presided at a meeting of this committee held in the Council Chamber yesterday afternoon. There were also present:—Col. Leach, Rev. Wm. Griffiths, Messrs E. Robinson, Thos. Llewellin, E. H. James, R. Carrow, John Thomas (Trevigan), Lemuel Jones, W. H. Walters, J. C. Yorke, Robert George, D. Humphreys, Thos. Brown, B. Rees, C. H. R. Vickerman. The clerk, Mr E. Eaton Evans, and the assistant surveyor, Mr Arthur Thomas, were present. THE ST. DOGMELL'S ROADS. Capt. i Gower and Mr Jonah Evans attended as a e utai on from the St. Dogmell's District Council with l?eicrence to the report made by Mr Phillips, county surveyor of Carmarthenshire, on the condition of the roads in that district proposed to be made main roads. The District Council spent £ 880 on the repair of these roads, measuring about IS miles, before Mr Phillips paid his visit, and they had since spent about £ 181. The greater part of this latter sum was spent on the roads between Boncath railway station and Pontcelly, and from Cilgerran to Llechryd. The council expended about £ 53 a mile on the repair of their roads. The Chairman said that Mr Phillips considered that a further sum of £ 1,240 should be spent before the roads were in a proper state of repair. Capt. Gower remarked that they had put on all the st?."Z tllequired on the two short pieces of road mentioned by him. The District Council had been able to put on the stons. at a ?"? cheaper rate than that estimated by PhilliP?,. He suggested that the survevor (Mr uN lll)s- inspect the Boncath and CilO'orr:m roads wIth the VieW of having them taken over, ami the steam- ,l, ei would t soon put them in a proper condition by crushing m the enormous quantity of material, which had been put on by the District Council. The Council would undertake to widen the roads at the places named by Mr Phillips. The deputation did not ask that the other 15 miles of roads proposed to be made main roads should now be taken over, but they submitted that the Boncath and Cilgerran roads were in a proper state to be so dealt with. In the course of a long discussion, Captain Gower -reased by 4d or mentioned that their rates had been increased by 4d or 5d in the £ on account of the increased expenditure on the roads. The subsidy, which they had been in, the habit of receiving, was about X380. Mr Robinson and Mr Yorke supported the taking over of the Boncath and Cilgerran roads, subject to the favourable report of the Inspector. This was put in the form of a resolution by Mr Robin- son, seconded by Mr L. Jones, and carried. THE SUBSIDIES. Mr E. H. James proposed, and Mr L. Jones seconded the following resolution: That the committee recom- mend the Council to pay the usual subsidies to the Rural District Councils towards the repairing of the highways for the year ending March 31st, 1901." The Clerk said that the subsidies, amounting to over zC4,000, had been paid up to March, 1900. The Chairman said the subsidies varied considerably every year. Mr Yorke said the subsidies had been paid on the basis of the expenditure in Narberth Rural District, as com- pared with its rateable value. Mr Llewellin remarked that Haverfordwest had been taken as the basis one year. The Chairman said the "usual" subsidies meant nothing, as the basis of calculation was not fixed. He would suggest the word usual be left out. He had no doubt they would settle on the most extravagant basis in the end. (Laughter). Mr James agreed to omit the word" usual," and the resolution was earried. with that alteration. In reply to Mr Yorke, the chairman said the amounts of the subsidies were fixed by the Main Roads Committee and not by the Finance Committee. Mr Yorke said it seemed to him the Rural District Councils had already spent the amounts, for which the subsidies were intended to recoup them. Chairman: This was rather an act of grace of the Com- mittee, because it was understood that the subsidies would cease when these roads were declared main roads. Most of the roads, however, were not in a fit state to be taken over. MAIN ROADS IN NARBERTH DISTRICT. The Clerk read a letter from the Clerk to the Narberth District Council asking that the road from Templeton to Cross Hands should be taken over, as it had been reported to be in a fit state by Mr Phillips. It was about about 3t miles in length. The Clerk remarked that, since the 31st March, this road had been no man's child." The Narberth Council had no man on the road and the County Surveyor did not consider he had anything to do with it. Chairman Narberth has got a profusion of main roads —a mcst disproportionate number. They should not ask for another main road without agreeing to have some road dismained in return. Mr Humphreys said they might agree in Narberth to have certain roads dismained if the streets of Narberth were made main roads. (Laughter). The Chairman repeated that Narberth possessed an outrageous disproportion of main roads. Mr Walters proposed that the road between Templeton and Cross Hands should be inspected by their Surveyor. Mr Brown proposed, and Mr Humphreys seconded, that the Surveyor take the road in charge as from the 1st April last. This was carried, as Mr Walters' motion was not seconded. THE HAVERFORDWEST DISTRICT ROADS. The Clerk to the Haverfordwest District Council, Mr R. A G. James, wrote stating that his Council were pre- pared to pay the following sums to the County Council for the repair of the roads proposed to be Main Roads :— Dirty Bridge to St. David's, X390 15s: Hermon Chapel, Fishguard, to the County Bridge, zC96 10s; Sailor's Arms, Lowertown, Fishguard, to the mile mark, X17. The Council were not prepared to entertain the payment of XI,563 for the repair of the road between Mullock Bridge and Skerryford, and they asked the Committee to instruct their Surveyor to report on the amended road from St. David's to Fishguard or Goodwick. The Chairman wondered why the District Couucil did not spend the money themselves. Mr Yorke considered the proposal a very fair one. If the District Council spent the sums of money estimated as necessary for the proper repair of the roads, the Surveyor might come along and report that material had not been put on at the proper time or the roads had not been widened at the proper places, and there would be no finality about it. Col. Leach explained that the roads could not be taken over until placed in proper repair. The Chairman agreed. Mr Carrow said there would be no hardship inflicted on these districts, as the subsidies would be paid. Mr Walters proposed that the Committee take over the St. David's Road if they had the power, and take the money from the District Council to put them in proper repair. He believed that, if the District Council had set to work and spent all this money after the issue of Mr Phillips' report, it would be so much money wasted. It would be the height of folly to put on all this material in the middle of a dry summer. Mr Yorke seconded Mr Walters. Mr L. Jones said that would be illegal. Col. Leach proposed that the Clerk inform the District Council that the committee did not consider they could legally take over the roads, before they were in proper repair. Mr Jones seconded. The amendment was carried by 11 votes to five, so that the District Council will have to do the work themselves if the roads are to be made main roads. THE DALE ROAD. Another communication was read from the Haverford- west District Council asking for a grant towards a new road, which had been made by them. Part of the road leading to Dale, within half-a-mile of the village, had become undermined by the sea making it dangerous for traffic. The District Council had been compelled to make 120 yards of a new road at a cost of £ 74 lis 5d, towards which Capt. Lloyd Phillips had given the land and £ 20. They asked the committee to give them a grant towards the £ 54 lis 5d. Chairman The District Council does not want to pay anything at all. Mr Walters You gave half in the case of Amroth. Chairman: And I thought it a very bad precedent. (Laughter). On the motion of Mr E. H. James, seconded by Mr Robinson, it was agreed without dissent to grant half the sum of C54 I Is 5d to the District Council. THE STEAM ROLLERS. I The Surveyor (Mr A. H. Thomas), reported that, in consequence of the scarcity of water, the work of the steam-rollers had been stopped for the past week, and the men were engaged in overhauling them in preparation for the visit of the Insurance Inspector. He suggested that the men should be employed for some time to come by the Public Works Committee. This was agreed to. MR. MATHIAS INCONVENIENCED. A letter was read from Mr Charles Mathias drawing attention to the inconvenience caused to persons with carriages crossing to and from Hobb's Point owing to the inner slip being blocked, and suggesting that a repre- sentation should be made to the War Office on the matter. The Chairman said the War Offiee could shut it np altogether if they liked. No action was taken.

A LEGEND OF HIGGON'S WELL OR THE FIRST HIGGOX AND SCOTCH. Long 'ere the banner of England was streaming Over proud Scotland, the land of the free. Long 'ere the engine thro' England went screaming Or ever a steam boat had ploughed thro' the sea. A Scotchman set out in a boat, which looked risky To seek out a country of which he had heard, Where none of the people had ever taste whisky Where children on leeks and on bacon were reared. Many and long were the days he went tossing Over the ocean by baffling winds driven, Till where the winds and the currants were crossing, He was driven clean into our sweet Milford Haven. Thence up the Cleddau his bark went a floating Until it came to a Priory tall, Where hundreds of Monks all their lives were devoting To feasting and fasting and praying for all. When, lo, on the bank he discried in a minute, A grave looking Friar sitting down by a well: And he cried, Man, I've Whisky," some water putin it, Great Scott, man it's grand, hear what I've to tell. The water is Perfect and so is the whisky, So call out your palls and we'll toast England's King But alas t'was not long 'ere the Monks were all frisky, And Sandy and Taffy were trying to sing.

"BETWEEN YOU AND ME." An irritable correspondent, signing himself "Cymru," has apparently been driven into an extraordinary state of mind by the refusal of the Pembrokeshire Imperial Yeomanry to eat Irish stew at Penally. It filled his heart with pain," he says. Then he pro- ceeds to argue that Irish stew was good enough for the Yeomen, and after indulging in a piece of poetry, goes on to state that the poor fellows fighting where the bullets fly and the hot saltpetre flames and smokes would be only too glad to get it. That may be. This correspondent seems to have an erudite knowledge of the properties of Irish stew and he might have considered that there is Irish stew-and Irish stew. The Yeomen must have had what seemed to them very excellent reasons for declining this luxury. It is no argument against their action that soldiers at the front have had to fare worse. The Yeomen would be as willing as any other force in the Empire to undergo hard ships when the necessity arose, but it is most; unreasonable to think that, during a training at Penally, they should be compelled to eat anything distasteful. It is foolish to go out of the way to meet that gentleman, who is said not to be as black as he is painted, and whose favourite disguise may or may not be Irish stew, and it is just as foolish to dis- organise one's digestion until compelled. The so-called elopement case from Hakin, which was investigated at the Assizes last week, was of a peculiarly sordid and unro- mantic character. The gay cavalier had, as a substitute, a married man with six children, and, instead of the gentle maiden of romance, there was in this case an untidy looking female, who, according to her father, had a powerful appetite for whisky. There is no need, as Mr Justice Channell remarked, to comment on the immorality of the proceeding. As far as the woman is concerned, it seems that her flight with her partner was due to a beating very properly inflicted on her by her parents for drunkenness. The man had the supreme audacity to plead in his defence before the jury that be brought the woman away to Hull through kindness—to save her from undue punishment. How philan- thropic Particularly for a man, who was so full of the milk of human kindness that he left his wife and children to starve. The entire case reveals a low state of moral- ity, and affords another painful instance of the evils of drink. The provision of a uniform for the Chief Constable of Pembrokeshire promises to become quite a historical episode. Like Sartor Resartus," it will cover the whole philosophy of clothes before it is concluded. It is a pity that Carlyle could not attend yesterday's meeting of the Standing Joint Committee, or he would have been able to add another chapter to his great work. The Chief Constable, whilst professing his willingness to wear a uniform, seemed rather anxious to raise difficulties. First, he had not got the £ 10 voted; then he could not get a uniform for less than 116, and even at that price it would not be complete: and, when the Committee had done everything reasonable to overcome these obstacles, he had the audacity to suggest that he should be allowed a trip to London to get measured. The Chief Constables of Carmarthen and Cardigan have each got complete uniforms for less than £10, and, if our Chief Constable wants a more gorgeous suit than they, he should pay the extra cost himself. The County will have done its duty by insisting on his wearing a uniform and by granting him a fair sum for its purchase. Up to the present, Mr Thomas Ince Webb-Bowen has been allowed to go about in plain clothes and pose as a gentleman of leisure in sassiety." It is time that the ratepayers, who pay him a big salary, should be made generally aware that they have such an official. THE INVETERATE GOSSIP.

I TO OUR READERS. Owing to the pressure on our advertising space we are compelled to hold over until next week a very interesting letter received from Lieut. George now serving in South Africa. Also report of the Boy Preacher's visit to Hill Park on Sunday last, as well as several letters to the Editor and other items of news.

PEMBROKESHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. I To the Editor of the" Milford Haven Telegraph." Siiz,-Having been asked to subscribe to the funds of the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society, I hope you will allow me space in your columns for a letter on the subject. The facts of the case, as I understood them, are as follows :-fhere was formerly a successful show held at Haverfordwest but a few years back some of the gentlemen connected with the Society proposed to take a course of action which, to the late Lord Kensington and others, appeared to bring the Society into the region of Party Politics. They said that if the Society affiliated to the National Agricultural Union they would leave it. The Conservative members of the Club persisted in their own course with the result that Lord Kensington and some of his friends withdrew from the Society, and the Society, thereby, suffered a heavy loss of support. The result was that the Shows struggled on for a year or two and then came to an end as the Society was unable to pay its prize money or discharge its other liabilities. It is now proposed to again hold a show at Haverford- west, and a Society for this purpose has been constituted. It has practically the same membership as the old one: it covers the same ground: it embraces the same objects it has the same name. It claims, however, that it is a new Society and is therefore not responsible for the debts of the old Society. It is undoubtedly most desirable that an Agricultural Show should again be held in Haverford- west, but it is still more desirable that elementary rules of honesty should be observed. Everybody knows that the so-called new Society is in fact the old Society. Before the Society offers new prizes, it should pay the winners of its former prizes the amounts so long overdue and the gentlemen, who by their political action, deprived the Society of many of its best supporters should contribute among themselves to pay the debts they thereby incurred. At any rate, I for one, will not give a shilling towards paying off what are undoubtedly Conservative liabilities, and until these debts are paid off I do not see how the Pembrokeshire Agri- cultural Society is in a position to guarantee new prize money. Taking as I do the keenest possible interest in the whole question of Agricultural Societies in the County, I feel it is highly desirable that a Show should be re-started at Haverfordwest on a good basis. There is only one method, however, by which this can be honestly done. I am, sir, Your obedient servant, JOHN WYNFORD PHILIPPS. House of Commons, July 15th, 1901. THE PRESENTATION TO MISS COOME.

Presentation to Miss Coome. RECOGNITION OF THIRTY FIVE I YEARS' FAITHFUL SERVICE. Last evening a presentation was made to Miss Coome who, for 34 years filled the position of headmistress of St. Martin's Board School. The presentation, which con- sisted of a purse of money and an illuminated address, was made in the presence of a large gathering of old pupils and friends, as well as several members of the School Board, and was a most interesting and successful function. The prompt and liberal response, which met the request for subscriptions towards it, was the most conclusive testimony to the high esteem in which Miss Coome is held by all classes. Rev. Jas. Phillips, who presided, said that, contrary to the usual order, the proceedings did not open with a speech by the chairman, and, as it had not been put m the usual place, he would reserve the right of delivering one or not at a later stage. (Laughter). A violin quartette, composed of Misses Geegan and Lochore, Mr Jenkins and Mr Harold Morgan, then gave an affective rendering of a pretty selection, and were warmly applauded. Two sisters, the Misses Michael, sang, I don't want to play in your yard," the smaller girl showing herself exceptionally clever for her age. Miss Rose Footner sang "The Gipsy Maiden" in a pleasing style, and Miss Lewis gave a clear, expressive rendering of a recitation, descriptive of the wishes of a school girl and of what she would do towards promoting the happiness of the pupils when she became of age to keep a school. Miss Ailien and Master Scale followed with the old ditty, "Where are you going my pretty maid r which they sang so well that they were heartily applauded. Miss Michael sang Rock-a-bye, baby in excellent style. The Chairman said they had now come to the end of the first part of the programme, and the second should commence the second part. He was present that evening, not only as the chairman of the School Board, but as one of the oldest connected with the schools in Haverfordwest. His memory went back to the days before there were any School Boards, and he could not help thinking of the services of those who started the schools, and worked very hard to get together the necessary income to support them. His uncle for many years took an active part in the establishment of the schools along with the Rev. T. Burdett, and the boys of Haverfordwest then were deeply indebted to them. Miss Coome was one of the staff in these old days, having come to this school 33 years ago. Of her conscientious work, her sense of loyalty to those over her, to the children, and to the parents, and her zeal, he need not speak. She had rendered splendid services, and it was only her own sense of responsibility that led her to resign when she could have kept on for another four years. (Applause.) The choice of a successor was no easy one, but Miss Evans had already fully justified her selection. (Applause.) The efficiency of the school would, he was sure, be fully maintained no matter who the managers were, as he was certain their aim would always be to secure the best possible teaching for the children com- mitted to their care. The function of the school teachers was most important, as they had the children under their control six days of the week. This School, under Miss Coome, had always been a thoroughly religious school, and he hoped it would always maintain that reputation. They should always endeavour to secure a religious teacher for the children, as otherwise education would have missed its real object. (Hear, hear.) Mr James Thomas, Rock House, said it gave him the greatest possible pleasure to be present on that interesting occasion, and he highly appreciated the honour done him by the Committee, who selected him to make the presentation to such an old and valued friend as Miss Coome. (Hear, hear). Miss Coome was most worthy of this presentation. Ever since her advent to Haverford- ford, her life had been most consistent, she had been most zealous in her work, and had won the admiration of all. (Applause). She was always in her place when duty called Rev. Mr Campbell read the address which was worae, in the most warm and sympathetic manner. Mr James Thomas then made the presentation, whlCh consisted of a purse containing a cheque for t20, accompanied by an illuminated address. Miss Coome, who was deeply affected, replied in a short and felicitous manner. This was one of the most pleasant surprises she had ever received, and she hanke I everyone most heartily and genuinely for the kind an loving expressions, which had been used towards her. n did not often occur that a teacher, leaving a school after such a long term as 3"> years, had the pleasure of meet- ing both her predecessor and successor. (Hear. near). She thanked all, who had co-operated with her during her term in the school, and she was particularly pleased that her old friend, Mr James Thomas, had been selected to make the presentation. (Applause). Rev. Mr Colborne next spoke. They gave Mr Phillips credit for marvellous knowledge where dates were cou- cerned, and someone, no doubt speaking in round numbers, said that Mr Phillips" memory extended back over a hundred years. He would not go back to old (la -vs. but would take on himself the role of the prophet. Miss Coome was to-day celebrating her birthday, and he wished her many happv. happy returns, and a golden eventide to her life. (Applause). Children had yet to be convinced that they could learn something from their teachers—(laughter)—but there were no two opinions as to the services rendered by Miss Coome. (Applause). Rev Mr Campbell followed. The heart was someti.ines I too full for one to express their feelings in mere words, i and this was such an occasion. There could be no more I honourable position than that of a school-teac i. Miss Coome had always held her work in high honoui,, and right nobly from beginning to end had she fulfilled her dutv. (Hear, bpar). One morning he met two httle children going to that school late, and he asked them would Miss Coome punish them:" "1 es, j511' they re- plied, She will cane us," "lam sorry for that." said he. Oh, but please, sir," they replied, It wout hurt us." (Laughter and hear hear). Rev Owen Jacobs also spoke in ieeling terms of the great services rendered by Miss Coome, and of the re- [ ligious influence which she had exercised over the minds of generations of pupils. He wished every happiness and success to Miss Coome as well as to her successor. Miss Evans. A violin solo by Miss Geegan concluded the pro- ceedings.*

Fatality at Milford Docks. A BOY SLIPS IX AND IS DROWNED. Another of those fatalities which have earned for Milford Docks an unfortunate reputation, occurred on Saturday afternoon, when a little boy of nine years fell in and was drowned. From the evidence adduced at the inquest, and reported below. it seems the lad, whose name was James Cyril Mayall, got on the Dock Com- pany's property through the railings near the station with some companions. He slipped into the water and in a moment was carried through the sluice under the railway line. The water was going at a rapid pace at the time so that the unfortunate lad must have been drowned before his body rose in the water on the Hakin side. The Coroner, Mr H. J. E. Price, held an inquest on Mondav afternoon in the Commercial Hotel, Milford into the circumstances under which the deceased, who resided at St. Peter's Road, met his death. A JUry of twelve, with Mr Fred W. Stephens as foreman, was awcrn and viewed the body, which lay in the house of the father of the deceased. James Alfred Mayall, fish buyer, swore that the deceased was his son. and he last saw him alive at dinner on Saturday. He next saw him in the water some time after ,) o clcck. The boy left the table after dinner but did not say where he was going. George Clark, son of Mr John Clark, skipper St. Peter's Road, swore that he was with the deceased at the back of the houses on Saturday afternoon, and they went down to the lake at Hakin, where two boys were going to bathe. Thev remained there about half an hour. The deceased went down to the water's edge for a bit of stick, and witness said to him Cyril, don t go down there, you might slip" Cvril did slip and fell into the water. Witness looked round, but could not see anyone except Mr Mayall at the top of the cliff a few seconds later. The deceased fell into the water on the station side near the bridge, and did not come up after falling in. Mr Mayall said he felt anxious as to where his boy went, as he did not usually go away on Saturday after- noon. and be went to look for him. He met the boys running away as if they were afraid and they told him that his boy was in the water. The boys pointed out Cyril's hat on the water, and he (Mr Mayall) thought Cyril must have gone under the sluice. With the assistance of a bigger boy who came up he took the body out of the water. George Clark continued that Cyril went through the sluice. Mr Rust (a juror) said the water was going through the sluice at a good rate on Saturday afternoon. Another juror said the boy must have been dead after going through the sluice. Mr Mayall: I think he was dead when I took hi in mv arms. Dr. Rowland Lee deposed that h.? wa? 'A Saturday to the place where the little bovwas ti-lnJ He tlOUht the bov  dead nf?" r 'i a j He thought the bov was dead after Ji, 1i.8 -a r^ d e.amin?on but tried ev.iy means to re?° ?'?.?'??o? A good deal of water came out of the bov*s mouth, and death was due to asphyxia from drownS The Coroner said these cases of drowning were becoming very common in the Docks, but he supposed nothing could be done to stop it. or else it would have been done before It was a very sad state of affairs. Mr Stephens said that. in this case, the Dock Company were not to blame. It was impossible for their men to be everywhere, anu the place where the deceased fell in was almost above their property. If the boys did not get in over the Docks, they would get in over the Great estern fetation. It was no fault of anyone as far as he could see. The Coroner said he was not blaming anyone. Mr Boweu a. juror) remarked that the place was com- pletely open from the bridge up to the station. Half the were carried away. and some notice should be stuck up that bovs trespassing would be prosecuted. Another juror said barbed wire six feet high would not keep bovs out. b h Coroner And I'm at, raid a good many boys would shy stones at notices. f. Mr Mayall: If anT boys of any size were there they would have saved his life, but the little bovs with him were almost younger than himself. The usual verdict of Accidental Death" was returned.

An American gentleman named William S. Wedge, accompanied by his wife. who was scarcely eighteen years of age. were visiting the town 01: their honeymoon tour, and spent most of their time boating on the river. They went out at live o'clock on Sunday morning as usual, and were boatin? towards Alveston. when the lady in standing up to change her position in the boat, lost her balance and fell cver-bc-ard, The husband tried to save her. plunging in from fifteen to twenty times, but the water was very deep, and there was no help near.
