Haverfordwest Petty Sessions. A PARENT'S OBJECTION. DISSATISFIED WITH THE METHOD OF TEACHING SCRIPTURE. The Haverfordwest Petty Sessions were held on Monday, before the Mayor (Mr Isaiah Reynolds), Messrs T. R. Dawkins, T. M. Phillips and C. C. Saies. 40.- FINE. Albert Williams, late ot Dark-street, was sum- moned for having been drunk and disorderly in Cartlett on June Otb. Defendant denied the offence. P.S. Parry told the court that at 10.50 p.m. on Sunday, June 6th, he saw defendant drunk and disorderly in Cartlett. Williams was making use of very bad language all the way from the Queen's Hotel to the Carmarthen Arms. He was warned by P.C. Richards that if he did not behave himself in a proper manner he would be locked up. Witness remarked "There's a chance for you to go home, and Williams then walked away. In reply to D.C.C. James, witness said that pre- vious to this he had seen the defendant at the railway station accusing a young man of stealing 30s from him. At that time defendant was making use of bad language and causing a disturbance. Witness told Williams then that he did not believe a word he had said. P.C. Richards was also called as a witness. He mentioned that when he warned defendant about his behaviour, the latter went away with a young man named Harry Morgan. In reply to the Clerk, witness said the defendant was very drunk at the time. Defendant: Why didn't you lock me up? Witness Because you went away and said you would rather go home. Defendant was sworn, and said he had been in Tenby all that week and came home on the Sunday morning. He bad a few drinks during the day, and in the evening he met a lot of Milford men who tried to "do" him out of a few pounds which he had in his pocket. He held 30s out in his hand, and some- body swept this away and stole it. He ran after the men to the railway station with the object of getting the money back. Defendant added that the police "could not have had him fair," and so they tried to catch him like that. He called it a shame. There was no need for it. Cross-examined by D.C.C. James, defendant admitted having had a few drinks during the day. He had the last drink just before this affair arose. He could not say how many drinks he had during the day. As to the charge of using bad language, he denied any disorderly conduct of this kind. It was true that some civilian asked him to go away, but that was because he knew the police were on his track. j Asked whether lie had any witnesses, defendant said he had not. He said that the young man Harry Morgan was unable to appear. The Mayor, in announcing that a fine of 10s in- elusive would be imposed, said that defendant had been already warned that the next time he came before them he would be sent to prison without the option of a fine. They were reluctant to send him to prison, and had, therefore, decided to give him another opportunity. It was useless, however, to repeat these fines time after time, and the next occasion on which be was convicted the sentence would probably be one of imprisonment. The bench trusted that this warning would have the desired effect. DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. Frederick Davies, plasterer's labourer, Milford Road, was summoned for having been drunk and disorderly on June 5. P.C. Richards said that at 11.30 p.m. on the night referred to defendant was in shipmaai's Lane shout- ing at the top of his voice. Defendant was in the company of other men, and these all went away on being requested. Defendant, however, said he should remain there for the whole night. But he subsequently left. Defendant was drank at the time. Defendant denied that be was drunk, or that be behaved in a disorderly manner. P.C. Wheeler was called, and said that on the same night he saw the defendant drunk at the top of Dew Street. He spolie to defendant and another man who was with him, and asked them if they had seen P.C. Richards. Defendant I told you I saw him in Shipman's Lane. P.C. Wheeler: You did say something about Ship- man's Lane. Defendant said that when P.C. Richards came on the scene he asked what the h- are you making this noise for ? You had better go home." Cross-examined by D.C.C. James The constable told us to stop singing. I did not refuse to go away. Defendant called as a witness a young man named Thomas Williams, who denied that Davies said to the policemen that he was not afraid of the b- uniform, and that he would like to run them. In reply to the Clerk, witness said he did not think Davies was drunk. A tine of 2s (id and 10s 6d costs was imposed. HIS FIRST OFFENCE. Richard Walters, hawker, Portfield, was fined 2s Hd inclusive for having been drunk and incapable on June titli. The case was proved by P.C. Richards who said he met defendant lying down drunk near the Cemetery Lane, Portfield. John Herne, hawker, Freystrop, was summoned for having been drunk and disorderly on the Merlin's Hill. P.C. Wheeler said defendant was lying dawn on the footpath, and on being spoken to he became very disorderly, making use of very indecent and profane language. A fine of 10s and 8s (id costs was imposed. FURIOUS DRIVING. John Llewellyn, groom, Shipman's Lane, was summoned for furiously driving a horse and trap on June 2nd. P.C. Richards told the court that defendant was driving the horse and trap up Dew Street. At the entrance to Shipman's Lane Llewellyn was accom- panied by a man named Griffiths who led the horse a little way up Milford Road. On Griffiths leaving defendant stood up in the trap and commenced beat- ing the horse until it galloped away at a terrific pace. The Clerk That is to say be endangered the safety of the public. D.C.C. James mentioned that Mr James Adams, the owner of the horse, said the animal was very bad mannered, and that the boy had difficulties with it. In this case, however, the horse was led round the corner before the boy commenced to beat it. Defendant had been cautioned before. The Mayor: I don't think a boy ought to be in charge of a horse of this kind. The boy was said to be 17 years of age. Defendant was fined 5s with 7s Gd costs, and the Mayor took the opportunity of stating that the bench were of opinion that all defendants ought to personally appear in court to defend their cases. If they did so the penalty would probably be lighter. WANTED THE BEER RETURNED. Arthur Richards, Quay Street, was summoned for obtaining liquor from the Mill Inn on June 2nd, and for attempting to obtain it from the Salutation Hotel, on June 7th, he being on the black list at the time. Defendant admitted having had the beer from the Mill Inn, but denied having attempted to get it from the Salutation HoteL He merely asked if they would give him a glass of beer at the Salutation. P.S. Parry said that on the evening of the date referred to he and P.C. Wheeler met the defendant on the New Bridge. He was coming from the direction of the Salutation Square and was carrying a bottle of beer. Defendent handed him the bottle of beer, but declined to say where he had had it. "Were you asleep" asked Richards in a taunting manner, and witness saw it was useless to ask him any more questions. Subsequently witness and P.C. Wheeler went to the Mill Inn, and asked Miss James if she bad supplied beer to Arthur Richards. She said she had, but that she was not aware he was on the black list. Witness enquired if she had received a notice that Richards had been placed on the black list, and, looking around, she failed to see one. Witness told her that she was liable, and Miss James expressed regret for what had happened. Richards You nearly took the bottle out of my pocket. I paid the 2d, and did not have the beer. That is bard lines. (Laughter). In answer to the Clerk, defendant admitted having bad a bottle of beer, but said I didn't steal it." Presently Richards, still eyeing the bottle of beer in the sergeant's hand, asked "Am I to have that beer any time, sir?" (Laughter). The Mayor We have taken a lenient view of your case, and you will be fined Is in each case without costs. We believe that the people who supplied you should be proceeded against. Richards Will you allow me to have that bottle of beer, sir? (Laughter). The Mayor: Don't go to public houses again, because they are liable to be proceeded against for supplying you. P.S. Parry having thrown the beer into the street, returned Richards the empty bottle. A DISSATISFIED PARENT. i A 1 -1 David Evans, mason, Milford lWad, was sum- moned for failing to send his child to school. Mr Rees, attendance officer, informed the court that defendant's boy was la years of age next birth- day, he had reached standard four, and had been absent 83 times out of w times. Mr Rees added that in this case there had been correspondence between the defendant and the Education Office. He made no report, nor had he called upon the defendant. Defendant: How many times have you been to my house about my children ?-I don't remember ever being there. Defendant: I remember your being there twice- once by mistake and another time to apologise. Mr Rees That is quite right. Mr Rees added that until recently the attendance of this child was full time. The Clerk: He has never been here before. Do you know what the matter is ? Mr Rees: He wishes this child transferred from the Provided to the Non-Provided School, and the Authority consider it a capricious removal. Defendant: I consider that by an Act of Parlia- ment I am at liberty to send him anywhere. The Attendance Officer produced the correspon- dence which had taken place with regard to this matter. The first letter was from Mr T. C. Rees to the Clerk to the Education Committee on the question of granting the defendant a transfer certifi- cate. Mr Rees, headmaster of the Barn Street Council School, laid the case before the Authority and asked for their views. He stated that the application appeared to him to be a frivolous one, for, as was well known, Scripture was taught regularly and systematically throughout the school. On April 10th, Evans wrote to say that he was not at all satisfied with bis boy's learning." Another reason for his wishing to have the transfer certi licate was that no Scripture was taught" in the Barn Street Provided School.—In reply to the Education Authority, Mr Rees wrote stating that there had been no friction between the defendant's boy and his teacher or between him and any member of the staff, and defendant's application for a removal certificate was the first intimation he had received on the subject. At present the boy was in the street.—A letter from the Clerk to the Education Authority to the defendant was also read. Defen- dant was told that his assertion that no Scripture was taught in the school was untrue, as half-an-hour daily was devoted to the subject. If defendant wished to persist in his desire for a transfer, the Authority would be glad to have his reasons.—In reply to this, defendant wrote to Mr George to the effect that his son Alexander had been from school for a month in consequence of the refusal of a transfer certificate to the Barn Street Non-Provided School. He had applied to the Director of Education to know why such a certificate was not granted, but failed to obtain a personal interview. He had also written to Mr Sketch, the chairman of the Board of Education—(the Clerk Mr Sketch is not that yet)- (laughter)—to know why his application had been refused. He added that other parents were granted a transfer certificate without difficulty. To this letter, Mr George replied that if the appli- cation was renewed at the end of the school year, the Authority would, be prepared to consider it. Mean- while if he did not send his child to school, the defendant was informed that proceedings would be instituted against him. A final letter was received from the defendant insisting on the transfer, stating that his reasons for such a step had been given in writing, and unless he had a reply before the following Tuesday he should bring the matter before the Board of Education. Defendant added that he had now laid the facts before the Board of Education. The Mayor Not Mr Sketch? The Clerk enquired as to the principle on which transfers were granted and refused. He could not see anything in the bye-laws about it. Attendance Ofticer There are instructions in the code about it. He added that the Board of Education advised them to prevent capricious removals during the school year that would be detrimental to educa- tion. The Clerk: What is the statutory authority for these provisions ? The parent must send his child to school unless there was a reasonable excuse for non-attendance. The question was Had the parent any statutory right to send his child to any school? The Mayor: There must be a reasonable excuse for a transfer. Defendant said he happened to be at home at nights last winter. He told his boy to get home- lessons. These lessons consisted of decimals—he believed they were decimals-or fractions—he did not know which (laughter)—and sentences. He helped his boy through the sentences, but he was unable to help him in his sums. But when he asked his boy to do a simple sum-such as compound sub- traction—the boy knew nothing about it. A boy who could not work these sums, he added, had no business to be in the fifth standard. According to his educa- tion the boy ought to be in standard three, and he alleged the boy must have been neglected. J In reply to Mr T. R. Dawkins, defendant said his other children had been in the National school, and his oldest boy and girl came out at thirteen, having reached the seventh standard. This boy, he main- tained, was two standards in advance of where he ought to be. The Clerk What about the religious education ? Defendant I say there is no scripture taught there at all. The teacher stands up reading the bible. My son has no bible to read, and how is he to follow the teacher ? Defendant added that there was no prayer in the school morning or night, and the children came out worse than beasts of the field The Clerk Mr Rees says that half-an-hour is given every morning for scripture examination. Defendant argued that it was impossible for the children to follow the lessons unless they were provided with bibles. The Mayor: It is like a preacher in the pulpit. Defendant said he had sent the boy to the National school, but the Headmaster would not admit him without a transfer certificate. He called on Mr Rees personally, and Mr Rees said he did not have a certificate, I told him," added defendant, "that he is supposed to keep them in his desk." The Mayor You must admit that scripture teach- ing is given in the Barn Street Council School half- an-hour each morning. Defendant: I cannot. There is no man that will convince me of it. According to the way in which it is taught, I cannot admit it. The Mayor Have you been there when it is taught?—I have been told by my son, and I can believe him as well as Mr Rees. Have you spoken to Mr Rees personally about it ?— When I went over to see him about it personally he threatened to send for the police. You know the standard of this school is very high? -I sball not send the child to Mr Rees's school any more. I have a perfect right by Act of Parliament to choose the school where I shall send him. The Mayor remarked that no regulation was laid down, but a child could not be transferred from one school to another without a reasonable excuse. In answer to the Clerk, defendant said he did not make up his mind to transfer the boy until shortly before Easter. The Mayor was informed that the defendant's boy was the lad who was before the court a fortnight ago on a charge of stone throwing. In reply to the Clerk, the Attendance Officer said he was not aware that any communication had been received from the Board of Education with regard to this specific case. Neither did he think that the School Managers had had the case under considera- tion. The bench adjourned the case for a month to enable the Provided and Non-Provided School Managers to consider it. Defendant What is my son going to do for another month ? The Mayor He must do the same as the last few months. Defendant: That is not good enough for me. Let us have fair play. The Mayor You can send him to the Barn Street Council School for another month.

I- 7 1- I A Gruesome Find. SKELETON IN A CAVITY AT ST. 1 MARY'S CHURCH. Last Thursday while some workmen were engaged in the preliminary work of installing a heating apparatus at St. Mary's Church a skeleton was found in the spandrell of an arch. The workmen were employed in making pre- parations for the heating chamber, which will be in a portion of a vault formerly forming part of the old police station. In ancient times this vault was the charnel house of the church, and above it stood the charnel chapel. This was pulled down in 1891 by Perrot's Trustees. On Thursday the workmen found it necessary to remove some of the old masonry, and in the spand- rell of the arch, enclosed in very solid masonry, they found the skeleton. The cavity, in which it was found, was very neatly formed and was securely covered in with blocks of stone. The stones were in fact so firmly cemented that they had to be broken before they could be removed. The cavity had evidently been carefully formed at the time the arch was built. The bones were examined by a surgeon, who pronounced them to be the remains of a very fine, well developed, middle-aged woman. The skeleton was in an excellent state of preservation, and from the style of the masonry, it is concluded that the body must have been there since the thirteenth century. The woman may have occupied an influ- ential position in the religious life of the town, possibly in the convent. Coffins were not used for interment until a much later period. —

I National Eisteddfod. FISHGUARD COMPETES IN SECOND CHORAL CONTEST. Fishguard choir took part in the second choral competi-j tion, which was the great musical event of Wednesday at the National Eisteddfod in London. The competition occupied the whole afternoon from 3 o'clock until long after 7 p.m. There were two prizes, a first of £ 50, and a second of £ 10, open to choirs of from 75 to 100 voices for the best unaccompanied rendering of Dr. Callcott's 0, Snatch me Swift" and Harry Evans's The Lord is my Shepherd." Over 12 choirs had entered, and this rendered necessary a considerable curtailment in the last-named piece. Mr A. G. Gibbe's choir (London) did not appear. Mr Harry Evans, in delivering the award, said that his colleagues had paid him the compliment of asking him to deliver the award for reasons that were pretty obvious. They had hoard some very beautiful singing, and as far i as he was concerned he had never expected to hear such beautiful singing as they had had from one choir at least. The whole competition had displayed great skill not only on the part of the choristers, but also on the part of the conductors. The Eisteddfod Committee had shown remarkable foresight in the selection of one of the test pieces in view of what had occurred earlier in the day- he referred to Oh, snatch me swift." (Loud laughter.) He was sorry that was not his joke, but Sir Charles Sandford's. They had, after due consideration, decided to award the second prize to Willosden, and the first for extraordinary beautiful siuging, to Southport. Merit marks were awarded as follows, the maximum marks being 100 for each te&t piece. on., 1st. na. lotal.

Haverfordwest Town Council. TO IMPROVE REVER NAVIGATION. WORKMEN'S DWELLINGS AGAIN. The Mayor (Councillor Isaiah Reynolds) presided over a monthly meeting of the Haverfordwest Town Council last night, when the other members present were:- Councillors W. J. Jones, Philip White, G. M. Phillips, W. G. Rowands, T. H. Thomas, H. J. Rogers and George Davit3. "A PASSIVE RESISTER." The Town Clerk, haviog read the minutes, the surveyor (Mr Bevau) said he had served the notice on Mr Kuppel Palmer in respect of his property, the Stone- mason's Arms and the house adjoining, but Mr Palmer intimated that he should decline to do anything further in the matter of providing drains. The Mayor He is a passive resister then The Council decided to allow the resolution to stand. NEITHER USE NOR ORNAMENT. The water committee reported having instructed the Surveyor to insure the new suction gas plant at Crowbill, in the North British Mercantile Insurance Office in the sum of X700. The committee recommended the purchase of an oil filter at a cost of f;2 63. The Surveyor was instructed to issue a notice cautioning persons against using hosa for watering their gardens. Mr Llewellin hitving requested that the pump in Barn-street be removed the matter was deferred for further considera- tion until the Council meeting. Mr Llewellin, in moving the adoption of the report, expressed the hope that the Council would remove the pump in Barn Street. It was now not only an eye-sore, but an obstruction to certain traffic. Were the pump of any use be should he reluctant to ask for its removal, but it had not been used for many years, and the handle had been removed for some time. Mr G. M. Phillips: The handle was taken off to pre- vent people using the water. Mr Rogers moved that Mr Llewellin's request be acceded to, as the pump was no longer required. Mr W. G. Rowlands seconded, remarking that the pump was bound to be an eye-sore and an obstruction to traffic. Mr T. H. Thomas enquired if there was any water in the pump at the present time, and if so might it not be required in the caso of an outbreak of fire in the vicinity. If the pump were of any use he should oppose its removal. Mr Rogers said that Barn Street was provided with hydiauts to deal with fire. The Surveyor, appealed to for information on the sub- ject, said that Baru Street was fully equipped with hydrants, and so far as the existing pump was concerned that could not be utilised in case of fire. If necessary there could be access to the well after the removal of the pump. Mr Rogers: It would be better for fire purposes after the removal of the pump. Mr T. H. Thomas said that Mr Llewellin desired not only the pump, but the platform to be removed. Were this of any use to the inhabitants he should object to its removal. Mr Llewelliu It is no use or ornament at present. The resolution was carried unanimously, and the report adopted. SANITARY MATTERS. The sanitary committee reported that the Surveyor was authorised to take ejectment proceedings in respect of No. 34, Quay Street; to obtain 10 gallons of Eureka weed killer aud to prepare a statement of the present arrangements for street sweeping for a consideration at the next committee meeting.-The report was adopted without comment. GAS COMMITTEE. I The gas committee reported having sanctioned the purchase of two new gas cookers. The Surveyor reported that he had received the 90veral name plates as recom- mendtd by the Fire Erigade Committee.—The report was adopted. RIVER OBSTRUCTION. I The borough committee reported that Mr Munt had accepted the Council's offer for the tenancy of the house in Hill Lane, lately occupied by the late Mr Joseph Thomas. The committee recommended the purchase of GO hurdles for use in the sheep fairs. It was also reported that the necessary instructions for the cleaning of the bed of the river at the Gas Works Quay had been given. The tender of Messrs Morse & Evans for 60 sheep hurdles at 4s 8d each was accepted. Referring to the last paragraph, Mr Rowlands asked whether the committee would not also consider the question of the removal of the rock which lay iu close proximity to the tan works. He had heard several complaints from captains of vessels of this rock having damaged their vessels, and last spring one captain, who had an unpleasant experience of this kind, declared that he should never come to Haverfordwest again. If that was a general complaint it was very much against the interests of the town to allow this protruding rock to remain there. The Mayor said the matter had already been before the council, and a resolution was passed to deal with it. Mr T. H. Thomas supplemented the Mayor's remarks by pointing out that a sum of money had been voted for the blasting of the rock. The Mayor: I think the Gas Manager said the work I could best be carried out in August when the tides were low. The Town Clerk mentioned that £ 25 was voted for this work four or five years ago. I In reply to Mr Llewellin, the Town Clerk said he believed it would be difficult to get an estimate of the cost of the work because it would not be easy to know what war, required. The Mayor: iNo doubt that as the bed of the river wears away the rock becomes more prominent. Town Clerk: It is when the tides are low that it is an obstruction. The Mayor It is an obstruction for vessels to get away after being discharged. Mr Llewelliu expressed himself in favour of removing any obstruction in the river that would bo detrimental to the river traffic, but he thought that before any steps were taken the Council should obtain some estimate of the cost in order to know whether the work could be carried out for a reasonable sum. He suggested that the Borough Committee should be instructed to visit the spot in company with the Gas Manager and the Borough Surveyor. Mr Llewellin also mentioned that the com mittee discussed the question of whether something could not he done to alter the course of the stream so as to get the berth at the Gas Quay washed out. The cleaning of these berths was an expensive job. The Mayor: These are matters that the Borough Committee will perhaps consider. Mr Rowlands If the obstruction is detrimental to the trade of the town it is of sufficient importance for us to attend to the matter. I move that it be considered at once by the Borough Committee. Mr Llewellin seconded, and the resolution was carried. The committee's report was also adopted. WORKMEN'S DWELLINGS. Mr George Davies asked when the Council might expect to have tha plans of the workmen's dwellings laid before them. The Surveyor replied that he hoped to have the plans; ready by the next monthly meeting. Mr Davies: I am glad to hear it, because long brewing causes small beer. Mr Llewellin asked if there was any difficulty about the site. It was pointed out that an offer had been made by Mr Shankland in writing. Mr Llewellin moved that the owners of the Prendergast and City Road sites be asked to keep the offers open. Mr W. G. Rowlands seconded, and arged the Council not to allow any time to elapse in pushing forward this important scheme. Mr Llewellin: We might find that sbmeone else has snapped up the sites in the meantime. The resolution was agreed to. THE ACCOUNTANT. At the end of the business, the Mayor said they were delighted to see Mr Warren present again, and they hoped that he was'now on the high road to recovery. Mr Warren thanked the Mayor for his remarks.

Bethesda Church Anniversary. VISIT OF MR. S. J. BURROW. Crowded congregations were present at the Bethesda Chapel on Sunday on the occasion of the church anni- versary. The special preacher was Mr S. J. Burrow, of Plymouth, who invariably meets with a most cordial and enthusiastic reception at Haverfordwest, where his virile utterances and style of oratory are so much admired. Preaching at Bethesda Chapel ou Sunday morning, Mr Burrow based an interesting discourse on the words A large upper room furnished to be found in Mark xiv. Mr Burrow said he supposed there was no function in our common Christendom that had become so richly endowed with the odour and principles of sanctity as that function commonly called the sacrament of the Lord's supper." When Christians gathered round the Lord's table, as they did frequently, they bore in mind and in heart too those words of our great and loving Master, Take eat, this is my body," and in spiritual communion with Him, they renewed their vows, their regard, their love, their adoration and in the strength thus gathered went out to fight the battle that waited them in the outer world. Mr Burrow said the words of the text were to him very significant: they would notice that it was described as an upper room. The call of Christ was not a call down into the valleys, but upward into a higher life, a larger life, a richer inheritance, a brighter vision, a sweeter music, and a richer passion. The preacher went on to consider two or three senses in which the room of Christian experience, Christian living, and Christian service was furnished. It was furnished as a school house. They went into God's iviugnom com- paratively ignorant of the law, the practice, the wisdom, the classical knowledge of spiritual experience. They were babes in Christ, and it might be that they rose from their knees for the first time in their lives haltingly and stumblingly. There was a long way to go between that initial Christian experience, and the full joy of the com- munion of saints. In that school house there were two teachers-time and experience. As the days went by time unfolded great depths of Christian knowledge of which they had never dreamt. Experience too taught them many lessons. Then, again, the room was furnished as a workshop. The Christian could not, in the words of the hymnologist, sit and sing himself away to everlasting bliss." There was work for him to do. When Peter wanted to remain on the mountain, Christ answered Not here, but in the valley amongst the hustle and bustle of the people, where you must work with the multitudes who toil and suffer." The Christian workshop was well furnished with appli- ances and material for labour.. Further, the room was furnished as an art gallery, as a rest and inspiration. The picture gallery was hung with examples of great men who had helped humanity in times of great despondency. In this gallery were found many noble examples of men who had done great service to the cause of Christianity, men who had showed hope and assurance in the very darkest hour. In conclusion Mr Burrow said the room was furnished as a temple, and the chief use of the temple which he desired to emphasise was its function of praise. At the evening service, Miss May Hewitt gave a charm- ing rendering of the solo He was despised." The services were continued on Monday evening, when Mr Burrow again occupied the pulpit.

Mr Munt intimated that he should be pleased to present a medal to the gentleman who sold the largest number of tickets for the fete. The Chairman called attention to the trees which had been planted at Scotchwell. These were being very much neglected, and some of them were dead. Mr Tom Davies promised to water as many as he possibly could, and this work of lookiug after the trees was deputed to Mr Langford and Mr Tom Davies, who were authorised to employ a man if necessary. Reference was made to the ieet, but Mr Sidney Rees said there was nothing to report that night. There would be water available by the following day week. Mr W Bevan said the committee could report consider- able progiess, and he saw no reason why water should not be down by the following Monday. There was certain preliminary work to be done before the leet was repaired. Unfortunately some water had come down on the previous night. Mr Langford mentioned that some ladies had called attention to the waste papers left at the entrance to Scotchwell. Mr T Birch asked if it would not be advisable to ask the town authorities to clean the streets. Mr Langford Not a bit of good. Mr Bevan My scavenging staff is very much over taxed now, and they cannot do the town work as they ought to. The matter then dropped, and the meeting was adjourned until the following Monday evening. RESIGNATION OF THE CHAIRMAN. j At the adjourned meeting on Monday evening a letter was received from the Rev. D. Akrill Jones regretting absence, and wishing to-morrow's fete every success. Mr Jones continued It is with very real sorrow that I must resign my chairmanship after Thursday next. None of my public work has given me 8) much real pleasure as that which I have been permitted to do in connection with this committee. Will you think the members for their unfailing courtesy to me and for the way in which they have invariably supported me in the chair. I wish the committee every success in the work which lies before them, and I confidently look forward to their accomplish- ment of the schemes which arc now under their consideration. May I also thank you (the hon. sec.) personally for the privilege of association with you in this and other work." It was decided that the Chairmao's resignation and the appointment of a successor should be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. A committee consisting of the Mayor. Mr Parkes, Mr J W Phillips, Mr J LI Phillips, and Mr LI Brigstocke, was appointed to take charge of the arrangements in connec- tion with the sports at to-morrow's fete. All the members of the committee are requested to meet at the Scstchwcll entrance at 1.45 p.m. to-morrow in order to be photographed.

Mr J. LI. Davies and Col. Roberts sat at the Police Court on Saturday morning to hear a charge of being drunk and disorderly and also with assaulting Dock P.C. John Davies, in the execution of his dutv on Milford Docks the previous night. Samuel Patterson, who is a native of Brynmawr, is a trimmer on the trawlers, and has a verv bad record at the Court. Twice this year he has been sent to prison-the last time only a few weeks ago for an assault on the police at Haliiii.-P.C. Davies in his evidence said that at 11.50 on Friday night, he found prisoner asleep on the Docks. He woke him up whereupon he became very violent and struck witness a severe blow on the cheek, as a result of which it was swollen. He blew his whistle for assistance and P.S. H. Evans and P.C. Edwards came to his aid. He had intended taking prisoner to his ship. He found him near the South Western Ice Factory.—P.S. Heber Evans corroborated last witness and stated that he had known prisoner several years. He went from one place to another for a time. They had great difficulty in locking him up and he kept repeating threats continually. — Prisoner pleaded guilty to being drunk. The bench sentenced him to one month's hard labour on each charge, the sentences to run concurrently. At the same Court—Thomas White, a man of the tramping class, but who described himself as a rigger, was charged with being drunk in Hill Street, Hakin, at 11.30 the night previous. Prisoner said he remembered nothing about it. He came from Middlesbro and was making for Pembroke Dock in search of work. P.C. Griffiths was the officer con- cerned. A fine of 2s 6d was inflicted and White was allowed a day to pay, which was tantamount to ordering him to leave the town. NORTH ROAD SUNDAY SCHOOL AXM- VERSARY. The annual Sunday school festival took place at North Road Baptist Church on Sundav and proved successful in every way. Despite the fact that the weather was threatening in the morning a good con- gregation assembled and an interesting service was presided over by the pastor, Rev. W. H. Prosser, who had charge through the day. Recitations and I dialogues were given by the scholars Willie Wilcox. Lily Hewitt, Stanley Hughes, Lizzie Davies, Lily Blockwell, Chrissie Miller, S. A. Lewis, Lily Mathias, Messrs W. John, A. Thomas and James John. In the afternoon the school was joined by the Congregational and We si e yan scholars and the chapel was filled with children, teachers and officers. It was an inspiring and hopeful sight. The Rev. D. Garro Jones led the assembly in prayer. The children who took part were Marjory Lloyd, Oswald Price, Lily Hughes, Clifford John, Tom John, Edith Clarke, Edith Allen, Edith Carter, Connie Miller, Elsie Davies, Jennie John, Florrie Mathias, Evelvn Lloyd, Gladys Davies, Sarah Mathias, Edgar Lewis, Willie Hughes and John Davies, and all performed their tasks creditably and effectively. Special hymns i and anthems were rendered by the choir and the services were much enjoyed. In the evening there was again a very large congregation. The service of song "A Child of Jesus" was given by the choir under the leadership of Mr Henry Thomas. The choral pieces were chastely rendered and it is safe to say the Choir never acquitted themselves better, a distinct compliment to the devoted leader. Their work however would nave been at a considerable discount without the aid of such a sympathetic reader as Miss Edith Marshall proved herself to be, and this young lady deserves a word to herself for her arduous task. The solos were nicelv taken bv Messrs H. Day and Alfred Thomas. The service was full of pathos and left a deep impression. Miss Emily Hall was at the organ throughout the day. and she discharged the heavy duties skilfully. The collections were in aid of the school funds and were in advance of last vear. RE-VISIT OF MR. GEORGE CLARKE. After an interval of six months, the return visit of Mr George Clarke will be a source of great pleasure and profit to his many admirers, who are connected with all the churches. In the past, Milford has been honoured by the visits of popular and successful evangelists, whose names are stll fragrant, and whose work abides. But the pre-eminent place must be given to Mr Clarke. Indeed, it may be averred that he ranks among the first evangelists of the country. A distinguished and commanding presence, a natural and effective flow of speech, a vast and varied experience, absolute fearlessness and conviction—all combine to make him a powerful attraction wherever he goes. Those who did not bear Mr Clarke in December last, will do well to take full advantage of the opportunity afforded from June -27th to J ulv 1th. TABERNACLE SUNDAY SCHOOL PICNIC, I Picnic day is eagerly looked for by the children of I every Sunday School, and to the Tabernacle Congre- gational Sunday School fell the lot of being the first I to enj oy their annual outing this year. Thursday fortunately was a glorious day, and thus favoured the happy scfiolars. met at the chapel at two o'clock, I together with teachers and officers. They were marshalled into proce-sion by the superintendent. Mr William Cole, the pastor, Rev D. Garro Jones, and others, and headed by the School drum and nfe band under Mr -klbert Williani,, marched down Robert Street, up Charles Street and North Road to West Hill. There after a time the juveniles were regaled with a sumptuous tea, which all appeared to enjoy. Tea for visitors was timed for five o'clock, and an unprecedented number turned up, indeed so great was the throng that the rations gave out. The evening was devoted to the customary games for children and adults, and the party dispersed in good time after a very pleasant outing in the fields. PILL MISSION ROOM. A grand concert was given in the Mission Room at Pill, on Wednesday evening last. The audience filled the room and fully appreciated the efforts of the artistes, who were repeatedly applauded. Recitations were given bv Ilay Pratt, Plicebe Knight, Mr E. Thomas, Mrs Owens songs by Mr A. H. Jelfs, Miss G. Thomas, Mrs Owens, Miss Rees and a trio by Ethel Forrest, Phoebe Knight and Alice Paton; quartet, Messrs. Thomas, Griffiths and Paton; qu  rtet, 'Nliss A. Owens; cornet solo. Rees; monologue, Miss A.

The programme was immensely enjoyed and a pleasant time concluded with the duet, "Excelsior," by Capt. Ramwell wnd Mr A. n. Jeffs. The proceeds were in aid of the Mission funds. BIRMINGHAM MERCHANTS EXCURSION. On Monday mounng a number oi WllOlesale merchants from the Midland Metropolis visited Milford, taking advantage of an excursion arranged to the western fishing port. Fortunately they were able to see the market at its busiest, as far as the supply and dispatch of fish is concerned, and they must have been favourably impressed with the sight as there was a large supply of all kinds, but prices were very low. A good trade is done with Birming- ham, and it is hoped that after this visit it may be increased. FISH TRADE AND TRAFFIC. The trade shows little improvement and good catches are fetching but a poor return. Several of the boats are down at Oporto. The Brixham smacks are now arriving in larger numbers, whilst some of the Lowestoft smacks are returning again to -Ililford, which port they recently left for home only to find trade worse on the east coast than the west.

Neyland Urban Council. SPECIAL MEETING. "THIS EVERLASTING BOW. MR. ROACH'S MOTION TO REDUCE EXPENDITURE. A special meeting of the Neyiand urban district council was held on Monday evening. Mr Hitchmgs presided, and the other members present were Messrs J. Skone, W. Evans, G. Roach, G. Lewis. W. Gwilliam, G. M. Yoyle, J. Hier. J. John. James James, O. Garrett, David Harris, H. Jones. and W. F. James. TENDERS. hour tenders were received for the work of building the sea wall along the beach, and on the motion of Mr Evans, it was agreed that the Council do not bind themselves to accept the lowest or anv tender. The tenders sent in were Mr T. D. Harries 3s öd per perch Messrs ,Yo Jones & B. Underwood, 3s per perch Mr Thomas Harries, Hazelbeach, 3s per perch and Mr John L. Davies, 2s sd per perch. In reply to Mr Lewis, the Surveyor said that Mr Davies had given satisfaction to the Council in pre- vious cases, and on the motion of Mr Lewis, seconded by Mr Gwilliam, Mr Davies's tender was accepted. The following tenders were received for haulage of rubbish for the road along the Beach :lr G. Thomas, haulier. SJd per load Mr William Jacobs, Little Honevborough, bid per load Mr Levi Davies 10d per load, Mr E. Coram, Is per load; Mr E. Davies, lOAd per load. A discussion took place as to the size of the carts to be used. Mr John gave the size, but Mr Hier questioned the Surveyor as to the size of the carts belonging to those gentlemen who had tendered. This Mr John resented owing to a misunderstanding. Mr Hier No one can speak at the meetings with- out being attacked by this man—referring to Mr John. Mr Skone There must be a misunderstanding. Mr John: Mr Hier asked if there was not sufficient experience on the Council to know the i size of the carts. The Chairman No, no, he didn't. If v" ou are too dense to understand what Mr Hier asked, sit down. Mr Hier Owing to these everlasting rows no one can get up to speak without being attacked. I am simply asking whether, after the experience this council has had. there is not an i"de>a as to the size of the carts actually in use at Neyiand at the present time. The Surveyor replied that there was nothing to choose between the size of the carts belonging to the gentlemen who had tendered. He was able to form that opinion from long experience. Mr Roach Have not some carts been sent back bv a workman because they were too small ? The Surveyor No. Mr Roach Not one ? The Surveyor If a cart was sent back it would be by my instructions. 'lr'Hoach: Did you ever send one back ? The Surveyor: Yes. on one occasion, but I had a special reason for doing it. He added that he had no reason to find fault with any of the carts of those gentlemen who had tendered. On the motion of Mr Y oyle, it was decided that the lowest tender be accepted. Mr Lewis asked whether the rubbish was to be carted from a particular quarry. The Chairman Will it cost more to take it from one quarry than from another. Mr Lewis pointed out that by an agreement with the council one quarry belonged to a certain gentle- man who had tendered, and he maintained that it would be cheaper to get the rubbish at an inclusive price than to pay extra for digging it. The Chairman That would not affect the question of carting. Mr Lewis differed. The person he referred to was prepared to dig aud cart the rubbish for the in- elusive price of IUd per load. The Chairman pointed out that that was not in accordance with the specifications on which the tenders had been based. The specifications were most explicit on that point. Mr Hier asked if the gentleman referred to was prepared to guarantee that he would dig and cart the rubbish at lod per load. Mr Lewis It is already (iti, Mr Evans mentioned that the quarry where the rubbish was dug was the property of the Council. I The Surveyor was instructed to see that the average size cart was used by the contractor and that a penalty clause be inserted in the agreement that if the carts were not properly filled the contract be annulled. SANITARY CONDITION OF HOUSES. Tile Surveyor said that according to the instruct- ions of the Council be had served persons mentioned in his last report with statutory notices to abate certain nuisances. Both parties served were making very satisfactory progress towards complying with his requests. He had also served Mr James Harries of Honevborough House, with a copy of his report containing a detailed account of the structural alterations and repairs which he considered neces- sary. Mr Harries bad further been served with a copy of the Medical Officer of Health's report, and he now read a letter from Mr Harries dated June 21st. stating that he was busily engaged in carrying ont the requirements of the Inspector but he did not think it was his duty to see that the tenants kept the nouses clean inside. He would, however, do his best in that respect. The Inspector confirmed Mr Harries's statement. and said he did not think it was reasonable to expect greater progress to be made with the work. The Chairman I think that is very satisfactory. Mr Roach: They may compel us to bring water there. The Clerk said there was water within reasonable distance. Mr Roach I mean water for sanitary purposes. It was decided that the question of the condition of the houses in Connor's Row should stand adjourned. I THE QUARRIES AGAIN. ith the permission 01 the Chairman, Mr Lewis again reverted to the question of digging the rubbish in the quarries. He thought that if thev could get the rubbish dug and driven to the Beach Road for Wd a load it would be economical for the Council to accept the offer. If this quarry belonged to the Council he saw no difficulty in their going there and taking the rubbish. But failing that it would be wise for the Council to try and come to some arrangement. because it would cost about GL1 a load to dig the rubbish. He moved that the Clerk communicate with the owner of the quarry and ascertain the most reasonable terms that he would allow the Council to remove the rubbish. Mr Skone pointed out that the rubbish was dug in the quarry before it was leased to the present owner. Mr Davies was only entitled to claim what he had dug himself. The Surveyor mentioned that Mr Levi Davies had asked him a question concerning the specification, and said there was not a single load of rubbish to go from the quarry without some understanding about it. He (the Surveyor) pointed out that Mr Davies had raised no objection on former occasions, and he asked if he seriously meant what he now said. Mr Davies repeated that he was serious, and the Surveyor in- timated that he must bring the matter before the committee. Mr Hier said the Council were opposed to mono- polies. and he suggested that they do not discuss the matter further. Mr Lewis hoped the Council would not think that he was trying to push Mr Davies's barrow. If the rubbish was there it would be cheaper for the Council to have it than to pay for digging it. Mr Evans (emphatically) How is it cheap if it belongs to us Mr Gwilliam said that if Mr Davies employed men to dig the rubbish it belonged to him and not to the Council. They ought to approach Mr Davies as a man. Mr Evans maintained that there were thousands of loads of rubbish dug in the quarry before it was leased to Mr Davies. Mr Yoyle thought that if Mr Davies claimed the rubbish, tbe Council could compel him to remove it. Mr Lewis urged that the Council ought to deal with Mr Davies "as a man. They must not think that he was trying to run a job for Mr Davies. He afterwards proposed a resolution that if the Surveyor thought it necessary he could employ Mr Levi Davies to drive rubbish from the quarry at lOd per load complete. There was no seconder, and the Chairman said that in any case the resolution would have been out of order. TO REDUCE EXPENDITURE. Mr Roach gave notice that at the next meeting he would bring forward his scheme for the more economical working of the Council without reducing wages. A question was anked by ?h- Roach as to whether t the paving and lighting committee would ascertain whether there was a leakage from the mains to the street lamps. The Chairman said the question would be con- ) sidered at the next meeting of the committee. lt NN-a, lileiitiolied tljat' It was mentioned that several applications had been received for gas cookers, and the committee sat. after the Council meeting to consider the applica- tions. RATING OF BUILDINGS. Mr Lewis gave notice that at the next meeting he would ask a question relative to the rating of buiid- ings used for other purposes than dwelling houses. iii ?sr Voylc remarked that that was a question for the assessment committee, which sit at Pembroke next Thursday. j

SCHOOL CASE. W m. Birkenhead, Hazelbeach, Neyiand, was summoned for failing to send his child William to school. The case was proved by Mr John Griffiths, attendance officer, who said he was told that the child had been playing truant.

Williams, solicitor, applied for a permanent transfer of the license of the Commercial Inn, Merlin's Bridge, from Mr Angus Gall to Mr Richard Griffiths. Mr W iillams mentioned that Griffiths held the license of the Three Crowns. Hill Street, for some years, and left that house of his own accord. D.C.C. James said that Griffiths had been in possession of the Commercial Inn for a very short time under a temporary transfer, and had conducted it very badly. Mr Williams objected to that statement, and said that if the house had been badly conducted surely it could have been brought before the justices on a proper com- plaint. As that had not been done, he submitted that the Deputy Chief Constable was out of order. D.C.C. James: I admit I am out of order. Mr Williams And being out of order, I hope that D.C.C. James will not say more. The Chairman, in announcing that the transfer would be granted, expressed the hope that Griffiths would profit by the warning of the police, for no doubt, had they wished, they could have proceeded against him. If the house was not properly conducted, the license might be taken away. Mr W illiams He will receive notice to leave unless he carry it on properly. The Chairman I suppose it is the usual three months' notice. We understand that perfectly well. But we would rather not see anyone in trouble here, and a word in season is sometimes effective.
