The paper was lying on the table when the otfiier came in. Mr Sturgeon said the defendant should have made the entry 24 hours before brewing, and that she had finished brewing when he visited the premises. The license duty was charged aocor iing to the malt brewed, and the year ended on the 30th of September. He visited the house on the 29th, and if the omission had not been discovered, the Revenue would have lost £1 5s The Bench fined the defendant in the mitigated penalty of £ -50, and recommended the Commissioners tc reduce the fine to JE3.

Upwards of one hundred children sat down to partake of the good things, which had been provided for them so kindly by Mr and Mrs Barham, who always remember the poor school children of Maenclochog at this time of the year. 'I he children recited several pieces of poetry and sang very creditably. After an address by Mr Walters, and a great deal of cheering and clapping of hands for their benefactors, the ch;ldren went home, highly delighted with their Christmas treat.

PEMBROKE. DEATH OF AN OlD INHABITANT.—On Monday Mr. Owen homas, late a wine merchant, expired at his residence, Green Mead Pool, Pembroke, in his 8lsf year. Mr. Thomas was a gentleman highly esteemid by all who knew him. He was mayor of the united boroughs in the year 1838, whan her Majesty Queen Victoria came to the throne, and the deceased gentleman had the honour of proclaiming her ascension, at the Dockyard, on that occasion, June 28tb. Mr. Thomas had retired from business for several years. ACCIDENT AND NARR".W ESCAPE.-On M, nday Mr G. H. Way, of Pembroke-duck, wds proceeding on his way to Pembroke in his dog-cart, and on going down Bush-hill, the horse a fine spirited animal, fell on bis knees. Before Mr. Way could recover himself the horse managed by some means to throw the bridle off his head, and immediately arose and started off down the hilJ at a furious pace. Just at the base of the hill, where there is a curve in the road, the horse ran the shafts against the wall, breaking both of them off, and pitching Mr. Way into the road. We are glad to say, however, that although Mr. Way was severely shaken, he was not much injured. I THE GARRISON.—Some time ago we state that a pri- vate soldier named Thomas Proctor, of the 95th raiment, had been tried by court martial for stabbing Sergeant Hailing and three other men of the same regiment; his sentence hrs now been made known, and it was read over to the troops on the garrison parade ground on Saturdny. He has bl>e" sentencod to two vi-ars' impri- sonment, to be branded with the letters B.C (i e., bad character), and, at the expiration of his imprisonment, to he dismissed her Majesty's service with ignominy. VOLUNTEER SOIREE. — On Wednesday evening a dinner was held at the Navy Tavern, under the au pices of the members of the band of the 2nd Artillery Volun- teers, when thirty eight guests were present, ompriaing the principal tradesmen of the town. The room was tastefully decorated with flow, rll and evergreens, formed in devices emblematical of the festive occasion, trophies of arms being placed at either extremity of the room, the tout ensemble presenting a most cheerful and pleasing appearance and these arrangements, coupled with the excellent dinner that had been provided, reflected con- siderable credit upon the host und hostess, Mr and Mrs T. Page. The chairman selected for the evening was Mr Councillor A. Long, his vis a vis being Mr T. Forder (manager of the firm of Copeman and Lacy, the well known Government contractors) both of these gentle- men contributed considerably towards the pleasures of the meeting bv their courtesy and geniality. Am m^st the guests invited were—Capt Richardson, commandant of the C'.rps; Mr Alderman W. H. Lewis, Mr H. Barrett, Mr Daniel Phillips, Mr J. Pogue, Royal Artillery; Sergeant Maj..r Fir dlay, 2nd Pembroke Artillery Volunteers; Sergeant Major Collier, Royal Artillery; Sergeant Joseph Thomas, and T. Miller, Castlemartin Yeomanrv Cavalry Mr Brotchie, manager of the district gasworks; Mr James, s'ation master Mr L. Yerward, &c., nearly every branch of her Majesty's service being represented, all of those connected there- with being dressed in uniform. After the cloth was removed, the usual loyal and other toasts were received enthusiastically. A programme of 20 selections of music, instrumental and vocal, comprising band pieces, glees, madrigal*, and songs, was performed during the evening, under the direotion of Mr T. W, Thomas, bandmaster of the Castlemartin Yeomanry Cavalry, Mr W. H. Wyatt presiding, with his customary ability, at the pianoforte. A most cheerful evening was spent, everything going off in the most pleasant and satisfac- tory manner.

PEMBROKE PETTY SESSTONS, COUNTY SESSIONS. These aessions were held on Siturday afternoon, before L. Mathias, N. A. Roell, J. Morison, W. Hulm, and J. Adams, George Hoach, son of Mr Roach, of Linney farm, and four tarm boys, named Thomas James, David Beddoe, James Rogers, and George W.lliams, were charged by Mr Bernard Samways, head gamekeeper to Earl Cawdor; with being in pursuit of game on Chriitmtis-day on land rented by Mr Roach, Mr W O. Hulm appeared to rrosecute; and Mr Price apoeared on behalf ot the defendants. The oases were taken separately against the defendants, so that each had the benefit of the others' evidence. This case excited considerable interest,—a number of respectable farmers being in the court. Cornelius Tuck, a watcher in the employ of Earl Cawdor, stated that about half-past ten o'clock on Christmas morning, he saw the flve defendants on the Downs benting for game, and accompanied by three dogs. They coursed three hares, one of which ran elope by where witness lay concealed. He also saw Mr Roach pick up a rabbit off the hedge and put it in his breast. When the defendants came up to where witness was, he showed himself. Mr Roach asked him not to say anything of the matter. M*- Roach stated that on the morning of Christmas- day, Thomas James and himself, acoompanied by his sheep dog. Watch, went, as was h s daily custom, lowards the Downs to see his sheep. On then way th'y went into a lield to Fee some p oughing that James had been doing on the previous day, as Janes had been practicing to compete at the ploughing-match, which comes off on the 12th inst. During the time they were there his other sheep-dog and the hound (a young puppy) joiued them in the field, both being shut up in a house when be left home. Some ten minutes later the three other defendauts (all of whom were in bit father's employ ) came into the field, also to see James's ploughing. When on the Downs a bare got up, and was followed by the sheep-dog, Watch, but Mr Roach called the dog, and he Ci.mc back to his heel. This was the only hare thiy saw that d'y. and they did not attempt to beat for game in any manner whatever. On ciossing over a heilge, which thev were necessitated to do. Mr Roacb picked up a rnbbit that had recently been killed by a "veyHr," or other vermin, and put it in his breast, but neither of his dogs had in any way touched it. When Tuck came up to them, he said, Ifou have made a "muddle of it," and Mr Roach asked him what he meant, at the same time telling Tuck that he had been down looking after his sheep, and had net been hunting As Tuck walked with Roach by Linney House be asked Tuck to oome in to have some beer, which be declined to do, and went away. He (Roach) never asked Tuck to forgive him, and what Tuck had stated was false. James and Beddoe swore most distinctly that there bad been no hunting or beating, and corroborated Mr Roach's evidence in every particular. Mr Price did not call Kogers and Williams, a« be con- tended that the evidence he had already produced was ample to rebut the charge. Mr Mathias said tue bench were unanimous in their opinion that Mr Roacb bad been guilty of the charge, and fined him 50s, and coats, 10s 2d. The charges against the other four were withdrawn on payment of costa.

T E N B Y. DINNER TO THE LIFEBOAT CREW —On New Year', Day, Mr C. H. Smith, of No. 6, Lexden Terra. e. th. newly-appointed hon sec. of the Royal National Lifeboat li'Stitutiuii in H) s town, invited both crews ot the lito- :Joat to dinner at the Prince of Wales Inll. The crew- consist of twenty four men. The chair was occupied h, Mr 1 homas Monger, coxswain of the lifeboat. Tb" dinner ^consisted ct tbe good old English fare of roast b et and pium pudding, with a pint of beer and a glasr of grog for each man, After dinner the usual foya- toasts were given and responded to, and a comfortable evening spent. The company separated soon alter ten, having given three cheers for the Squire of Luxten," and Mrs. Smith.

Dr Lock was at once sent for, who dressed the wound, and the poor fe!low is progressing favourably.'

THE SOUTH PEMBROKESHIRE HUNT WEEK. "For good sport." says a quaint old chronicler, "two thinas are mostly required fair ?smes and merrie companie." Our author's thoughts were then full of tournaments' jousts and shows, which formed the popu- lor entertninm^nt of the day he had been a joyous Spectator during one of those festive seasons so vividly described by Sir Waiter Scott in li;anhoe-the clash of arms, the whizzing of the contending arrows, and the whirling of the quin!ain-were still dinning his ear-. Our modes of amusements have changed; sport like that afforded by the passage of arm!! at Ashby. is no longer practicable. Yet not being uncompromising lauda- tores temporis acti, we hold our sport is as good, ana our "companie" as merrie," as in the olden days. But let us not try to institute a comparison, but rather de- light in the anticipation of the pleasure, of the ensuing week. The South Pembrokeshire Hunt Week is fixed t) commence on Monday next. Under able. stewards, whose promise can admit no doubt of fulfilment, amateur theatricals, a meet of the South Pembrokeshire hounds and hunt dinner, a grand fancy dress ball, a meet of the garrison beagles and popular entertainment, a meet (,f the South Pembrokeshire hbunds and hunt ball, are an- nounced to come .off on successive days To the hunter is afforded the glorious prospect of three meets in one week; the fancy ànd hunFballe will not. fail to gratify those who delight in their assemblies while the amateur theatricals will gratify the histrionic yearnings cf our young aristocracy. Such a programme cannot, we think, fail to satisfy the most ardent devotee of pleasure as far as possible all popular sources of amusement are included, and we heartily congratulate the stewurds on ,their selections, and confidently predict that they will succeed in accomplishing the almost impossible task of pleasing everybody. The committee of the popular entertainment have also made a first-rate programme for Thursday evening next. We hear that two ladies have kindly promised to sing, and several of our best readers intend giving their valuable assistance to enable the committee to give the visitors for the week a treat; and as the entertain- ment always finishes at 10 o'clock, they cannot complain of late hours for that evening, and we expect there will be a very full house. Hitherto we have treated our subject only with re- gard to the direct object fer which this round of enter- tainments has been proposed—that of enlivening our town during this dull season. Indirectly the hunt week will affect a far larger share of persons than these who actually partake in the enjoyment. What is play to others brings food to the working classes, if we may be allowed to alter a trite saying. The season is most opportune. So, both sides of the question being con- sidered, let us cry all hail to those who intend, in the ensuing week, to tread their hour on the stage, to join in the tally-ho o'er hill and dale, or trip it on the light fantastic toe."

CORRESPONDENCE. We do not consider ourselvesrcsponsihle for the opinion* and sentiments nf our Corresponded 's

SIR,—Allow me to ask why. in your rèp Irt of Saint Issell's Chutoh on Chri-tmis J)ay, all the procredings connected with it were ignored except the music and decorations ? This seems strange, as f2 108 was col- lei ted at the Offertory and sent to that most excellent institution, the County Infirmary, which has rroved Buch a blessing to so many of the poor of thir parish. I must, likewise, state that on the 23rd, through the kind contributions of several of the parishioners, prizes were given in the National School Room to fortv children, also a large slice of cake to upwards of one hundred; and, during the last week, the Vicar distributed E4 10s to more than fifty poor tenants of Mr Philipps, of Pictoa, being his Christmas donation to them. I am, Sir, A LOVER OF TRUTH. January 4, 1870. SIR.-T find that in replying to a question in a former issue of the Herald, a certain rnrrespf'nd nt has styled himself "an Ishmaelite," consequently suspicion re^ts on me, which I wish to remove by your favouring me with he insertion of my |solution of the question in this week's issue of the Herald. The problem appears rather simple The result of £19 I9s 1111 multiplied by 4 XL9 19a llfd. d. £ s. d. i$=1-9G0)19 19 11| 20 899 19 7 399 IS 7 0 0 41 9:9-960 £ 399 19 2 0-4,1960 or 19 939 960 bv 19 }59-960=3ôi!601r.OI.!)21600 == £ 399 19- 2d l> 4 1-930 Your obedient servant, THOMAS MORGAN. St Ishmaels, Jan. 5, 1870. Sir,-In your issue for last. week your correspondents Three R's" and Cantab have so explicitly stated the reasons why £ 19 19S. 11^2. cannot be muttiplied by JB19 19s. 11 fl. that. there ill "mllll need for me to say a word on that subject. Perhaps you will allow me to trespass a little on your space while I criticise the working given by An Ishmaelite," who has endea- voured to show that he is correct by obtaining the same result by three different methods. In neither case, however, has he performed the operation proposed. B«- decimals he has multiplied £ 19,99895833 by 19.99895833, and not by £ 19.99895333; by fractions he has multiplied £19 19s. ll^l. by 19199 960ths and not bv £ 19199 960ths. In hid third case be has strug« gled'omake the result correspond to his two former workings, and has contrived to make it do so by divid- ing by 16 to reduce farthing to pence, by 144 to reduce pence to shillings, and by 400 to reduce shillings to pounds, which operations will doubtless be new to the majority of your readers. Arithmetic is a science con sistent with itself, and any problem in reduction of money properly worked will be found correct by the old fashion of dividing by 4, 12, and 20. Had Ish- maelite" kept to the eld rule hit answer to the third operation would have been JE383,960 Os. 0-1-1. I regret having incurred the displeasure and indignation of vour correspondent Magister" who, I venture to believe, is not quite so puffed up as he was, as his wind-bag must have been awfully invaded by Three R's and "Cantab." No doubt, in this material age, some of your readers would ask What is the use of it ?" and on being informed that the use was simply nil would be inclined to poo-hpooh the question altogether. The question, as proposed by Constant Reader," could not possibly occur in the way of trade. The nearest approach to it which I can conceive is this: Suppose a numismatologisl or an antiquarian bad a lot of eld coins consisting of nineteen sovereigns, nineteen shillings, eleven pennies, and three farthings, and he desired to dispose of them at the rate of £ 19 19sllfl per soverreign then the price would be £399 19s 2 1 38-40d. This result woul; not be obtained by multiplying, viz. the £ s. d. by £ s. d. but by the same method as one might calculate the value lIf 80 many tons, owts., &c. of hay, at a cert ain price per ton. In conclusion, allow me to say, both to -1 Ma- gister and the "K.O. whom he so ardently desires to demolish, that there is no answer to Constan Reader's" {question for the theoretical objections stated by Three R'a and Cantab." Yours &c., „ „ ARITUMOS, Hayerfordffest, Jw> IS70, SIH. Wiil you kindly allow space for the following lines in reference to the correspondence which has lately occupied your c jiumns ? In the case of One who has passed the three R's," I find that he in trying to get clear of multiplying by a concrete number has falien into a very grave error when he eays that multiplying £ 19 ]9s lill by a number equal to the number of farthings in trie sanie (that is 19,199). In doing so he will find the anqv: r to be 960 times too much, or, which is the same thin^, the prodiut of 4 by 12 by 20-960, and not £ ?99 19s 2d 1-3840 We advise him to run over the tnree il's again, especinlly the las With respeot to Cantab's answer, it is absolute nonsense for him to say the true answer is £ 19 19a H|d multiplied by 2. We take f. r granted that" CinWb has matri- culated at the University of Cambridge or he would nol have signed himself so, or at least he wishes us to think fo. We should like, however, to know what College and who were some of the Fellows at that memorable period. We are quite sure of either of two tilings in tta first I place that Cantab"' after his matriculation—indeedrit seems to us r diuuloUs to suppose 1 e has matriculated at all-was .-ent down fur disreputable conduct. Or, which is the likelier one, we have no d ub) but "Cantab" is one of those beings who, having been plucked in smalh, fiad it perfectly absurd to' attempt getting through Mody." For his benefit as well as others I here append the words of Professor Wallace, A.M., one of the most clearheaded writers on mat'ematical subjects that have appeared within the last quarter of a century We have said before, in innumerable casei of the applieati n of Proportion we have \.o multiply money by money, and obtain a sensible result. For example, take tins question, "if £ 1 gam 2s 61 in a certain time, how much will 2s 6d gain in the some time ?" The answer to this question will be 3fd for, as tl JEg JBIg £ l-64=:y|d, the answer. Again, take this question, if Is gain 2s 6d in a certain time, how much will 2s 6d gain in the same time ? The answer to this question will be 6s 31; lor, as Is 2s 6d 2s Cd 6s 3d the answer. In both these cases, 2s 6d has to be multiplied by 2s 6d but the result is very different; and why ? because in the first ca<e, the gain 2s 6d is considered, and really is -1 of a pound; whereas in the other case the gain 23 6,1 is considered, and really is 2-L times one a pound being the standard of rompaiison in the one question, and a shilling he standard in the other ques'ion. )t is not, therefore, absurd to multiply moriey by money, provided that the factors are conaioeied ut3 parts ti-r multiples of a certain unit of money, and tfcat in tJte multiplication the multiplit,r is considered aa abstract number, or a number of tÎwp), or a tfaotion of a time, ate-iding to the nature of the question while the multiplicand retains its concrete value, and the divisor is also deemed'an abstract number." These are the words of Professor Wallace, A.M., Professor of Mathematics in the University of Glasgow, Collegiate Tutor of the University of London, and the author of Cassell's Arithmetic, Cassell's Euclid, Cassell's Algebra, &c. After this dicnim of the Professor we consider his standard as an author sufficient to silence ail disputes arising out of this question. To trose of your poetiwal readers I here give a few lines to the saw" effect take a from the J opuL-r Educator — Caqtt it be done ?" I say it may, For in commercial town or city, It is performed every day, By rich and poor, dull and witty And when my reasons you have heard,. You'll own the question's not absurd. When merobant-men, by mind or pen,. Do find the n umber to a question They get an answer, yes; but, then "Fis clear the answer needs suggestion;. It cannot mean so many noughts, It may be dollars, men, or groats. To multiply is to increase, And to increase to make addition For Johnson says that is the case, And it is done by repetition I'll give a case, as it, may be, One you can judge most, feelingly. If equal numbers added be, To those who now sit round your table Then twice that number you'will see, And their expense you'll find no fable; But multiply these numbers too, And their increase will frighten you. Again, if two and sixpence be Increased as much as it increases A unit of iiself, we see, Thltt six and three pence it expresses i But if we take it of a pound, A different answer will be found. Money of money is the source, And this in most slims is intended To be the answer but of course, The proper name should be appended; Methinke 'tis time the oharm was broke The secret lie* in what is spoke. I am, Sir, Yours faitbfully, MAGISTBB.

CARMARTHENSHIRE srEEPLE CHASES. SIR,—As some dissatisfaction has been expressed at the adoption of the G. N. S. scale of weights on the ground that it is only suitable for cast-off race horse" and not Welsh hunters, I have taken some pains to investigate the matter, and I enclose for publication a letter from Lord Coventry on the subject. It is quite a mistake to think that the scale was adopted to suit had race horses; on the contrary, it was sreeiallv framed for encouraging weight oarriers, and such horses as Bridegroom, the Freshman, Emperor, Tathwell, an<i othi-r hordes that have distinguished themselves in the Grand National H int Steeple Chases at Bedford, Wethei by, Market H>trl N', &c. A glanop, too, at the respective differences of weight in the scale for Queen's P.ales on the flat, nnd the G. N. S. scale, will prove that the Committee have at all events tried to produce a fair snale. For three inilf racei on the Cut up to April. the fol'owing is the scale — Four years, 8st 71b; five years, 9st 4lbs; six and IIged, 9st 8lbs; over a country The Grand National Committee's weights nre- four years, 10st 31bs; five years, Hjt 8ibs; six and nged, 12-t 31b-, Thug it is apparent, at a glance, on how very much better terms the young ones meeL tne old horsra, according to the Grand National weights, than um-er Queen's Plate conditions. In the former, a four year old receives lPIbs from a five, and 281 be from a six, whereas, under the Queen's Plate articles, the difference would be, respectively, lllbs and labs, and in the difference between the five-year-old and aged the weights are still more in favour of the juveniles, as on the flat they would have to run at a difference of only 41bs, whereas over a country they get 9ibs. Let me give one example of how well even a four-year-old Welsh Hunter can perform. At the Tivyside meeting last year, St. Govins, then only rising lour, after having won a strong run Steeplechase, with the heavy weight of list lOlbs, was enabled, with only a difference of "lbs, to beat Dictator, a thorough-bred entire horse, and five other aged hunters But I muU trespass no longer on your space Let those who are dissati-fied carefully note the running In weight for age races, during the coming season, and embody the result of these observations in the foriti of a memorial 10 tbe Grand Naiional Committee it will, they may re9t assured, meet with the most courteous consideration. Possibly the scale may require revision, but I think I have shown that pains were taken in framing it, and it is the opinion of many who are really competent to form a judgment, which I am nor, that on the whole the scale is a very fair and just one. I am, Sir, yonrs truly. W. O. BHiGsTnririr 2, Lansdowne Cresoent, Cheltenham, January 4, 1870. [Copy] Croome Court, Severn Stoke, December 29'.h, 18G9. 1JKAR MR BRTHSTOCKE,—The scale of weight for age in Ktet-pie cba-es, as recently revised and adopted by the U.N.S. Committee, was certainly never framed, as your correspondent appears to think, witn the intention of showing favour to inferior animals, nor can I see any- thing in it which will justify the expression of such an opinion —0:1 the contrary I should think the" Cast off race horses who are trained to gallop through their fences at three years old are the most likeiv to sutter from the imposition of such heavy weignts all are allotted to them by the G.N.S. Committee. I will offer no opinion as to whether or not the pronortionatn wøi,h, for eaeh different year are correctly adjusted .n the scale of weight for age as published, but I think I inav say that the committee would be glad to receive and consider any suggestions for its improvement. The ages for £ °n0S mURt he d4t 'd ,r'm a Particular dav, and the G.N S. Committee have named the first of January as the birthday of every steeple chase horse. || a man breeds a colt which is loaled at the end of June it is obvious thdt he is competn.g On unequal terms with one oaled in January; every rule which laid down for the general welfare must occasionally operate uniustlv CaSCS" For my own Part> however I do thl year 18 adT,uUa«e to hav« early m Believo me, yours truly, COVENTRY.

The Chairman, in passing sentence, said Eliza •Jenkins— Your case seems to He abont as bad as any that ever came before this Court.
