The jury lists for the parishes of Furzy Park and Portfield, St Mary, St Thomas, Uzmaaton, St Martin, and Prendergast, were verified and allowed. PLAYING AT CARDS ON A SUNDAY. Win. James, Arthur Warren, William Warlow, and Siehard Warren, were charged with playing at cards on Sunday. The defendants admitted the offence. Supt. Cecil stated that this was the first time a case of this description had been brought before the Bench, and he proposed, if their worships would allow him, to.with- draw the charge against the defendants on their paying the costs incurred. The defendants had admitted the offence, and as their worships, if he pressed the case, could not impose any fine, he wished to withdraw the charge against them. Mr Rowlands (addressing the defendants,) said I do hope that you will not subject yourself to any charge of a similar nature again. It is not only the disgrace which attaches to yourself, but you bring great trouble upon your parents, some of whom 1 know from my own observation are extremely anxious that you should con foot yourselves in a proper manner, as they have done before you. They have made very great sacrifices on your behalf, and I do hope that you will not be guilty of the like conduct again. The case was then withdrawn, the defendants consent- ing to pay costs. ASSAULTING A POLICEMAK. William James, one of the last batch of defendants, was obarged with firing a blank cartridge from a rifle at P. C. Adams. The defendant pleaded not guilty. P. C. Adams deposed On Monday evening last I was on duty at the Castle Square at nine o'clock when the Rifle Corps was dismissed. I was standing in the I Square, when a rifle was discharged, and I was bit on the side of the head. There were two riflemen standing near me, one of them being the defendant, the barrel of whose rifle was warm. The rifle of the other man had the stopper in the muzzle. Colonel Peel immediately came up, and on examining the rifle, said that it had been recently discharged. I did not see him discharge it. The defendant: I did not do so: if the policeman knew I did it, why did he go to others about it. The snap cap was on the rifle when he examined it. The policeman has stated that he was within a few yards of the person who fired it at him, and if it was intended to injure him, his brains would have been knocked out. By Supt. Cecil: The stopper was not in the muzzle of defendant's rifle. Defendant: I had lost it before I came to the Square. Samuel John Davies: I was at the Castle Square on Monday evening. I saw the defendant bring up his rifle to the ready position and fire it. By Mr Rowlands I know the defendant by sight. I went up and looked at him. I am quite certain it was no one else fired the rifle. It was not very dark at the time. The rifle was fired about the centre of the Square. The rifle was not brought up to the shoulder. I can't say whether it was done by accident or not. I should think not. I heard no words pass between the policeman and the defendant. The defendant: I bad only one cartridge and I fired that off before coming to the Square. The cartridge was given me, and I have witnesses to prove that I discharged it by the Railway Station. In reply to Mr Rowlands, the witness Davies stated that the defendant was not riotous. He appeared per- fectly sober. I Col. Peel was next called upon. He deposed I had just dismissed the men on Monday evening in the Castle Square and had got into the carriage, and was in the act of putting on my great coat, when I saw the flash and heard the report of a rifle. I immediately jumped out, and ran to find out the man who had fired it. At the very spot where I had seen the rifle go off, I found the policeman with the defendant's rifle in his hand. There was another young man on his left at the same place, whose rifle had a muzzle stopper in it, and could not hav« been discharged. The defendant's rifle had no stopper in it, and I put my finger in the barrel, and found that it had been discharged. I could not say that it had been recently fired. There were only two men with rifles at the spot. Perhaps I may be permitted to say that last night this young man aud his father came out to Denant and asked me to attend here to-day to state what I knew about the matter. I think it very impro- bable, if he had been guilty of the charge, that he would have asked me to come here. They knew that I had examined the rifle. There were only two present, one being the defendant, and the other being the party whose rifle was in a clean state. I did not know that the policeman had been hurt at that time. I told the defen- dant to go home and not disgrace himself. He was per- fectly sober. This concluded complainant's case. Mr Harford Is this the man who was charged with playing at cards on Sunday ? Supt. Cecil: Yes, your worship; and Adams informed against him. On defendant's behalf, John Davies was called: he deposed: I am in the Rifle Corps. I was not in the Square when the rifle was discharged. I was with the defendant at the Railway Station, when he fired off his rifle. I gave him the blank cartridge. He had no muzzle stopper in the after- noon. George James: ;I was in the Square on Monday night, and was standing on the right of the defendant. I did not see him fire his rifle off at all. Mr Harford. Could he have fired off the rifle without you seeing him ? Witness I was the next man to him. Mr Harford Are you in the Rifle Corps ? Witness I am. Supt. Cecil. And are a cousin to the defendant ? Witness Yes. By Mr Harford I saw no one fire a rifle off: there were a good many persons around, but we were the only persons together with a rifle. I heard the discharge of a rifle. I don't know who discharged it. The police- man thought I did it, and said That's your caper, George.' I said it was not I did it. He took my muzzle stopper out, and gave it back to me. I swear that the defendant did not fire the rifle off. P. C. Adams, recalled, said I met the defendant and the witness subsequently to this affair near the Fish- market. I told the defendant that I would let him know whether he fired the rifle off or not. The witness, George James, then said, You have done your worst by him already, you can't do any more.' Defendant: The policeman came to my house and brought me out of bed after eleven o'clock, and put me in the station-house for the night. He took me out of bed without a warrant. Supt. Cecil stated that the policeman had a warrant. Defendant: He did not show it to me. Dr Rowe What are you ? Defendant I am a tailor, and work with Messrs Greenish and Dawkins. The Bench observed that it was extremely fortunate that the defendant was brought up on the charge of a common assault. It appeared to them that there was no doubt about his guilt, and they should order him to pay a fine of 2a. 6d. and 18s. 6d. cost, and in default of payment, to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one month. Col. Peel (addressing the defendant) said: I have the permission of the Court to say a word or two to you. In the first place, you have been convicted upon very clear evidence of having fired off your rifle in a crowd in the Castle Square, which I consider to be a serious breach of discipline. I consider you are totally unfit to be trusted with fire arms, and therefore you are dismissed from the Rifle Corps. DRUNKBWNES8 AND KIOTOTJ8 CONDUCT. Alfred Powis, cabinet maker, of Hill-street, was sum- moned for being drunk and riotous in the public thorough- fare. The defendant pleaded not guilty. P.C. Adams deposed that he saw the defendant in Hill Street about a quarter to 12 o'clock on the night of the 12th inst. He and another man were boxing on the corner of the street, he spoke to him about it and he gave him a saucy answer. He answered Yes mum.' He saw him afterwards:: he was hallooing and dis- turbing the public peace. He spoke to defendant and told him that he should summons him. The defendant also called him a d-- green b- In cross examination, P.C. Adams stated that the defendant was boxing with William Jones, a stone- mason. Mr Thomas Rees, auctioneer, residing at St. Thomas Green, deposed that he was awoke by a noise of persons fighting opposite the Asylum about one o'clock on Sunday morning. He arose and went out, and saw Charles Williams eommonly known as Charles Peters, Thomas Harvey, George Williams, William Jones, and the defendant there. There had been some fighting, but it had ceased just before he reached the spot. To the best of his belief, the defendant was drunk. The defendant denied that he was drunk, and stated that the policeman had summoned him because he had threatened to take out a summons against him for in- sulting him. He had not been present at the fight, but had only arrived at the time that Mr Rees came out of his house. Mr Rees stated that he heard the defendant say at that time that he bad not witnessed so much punishment as had occurred at the fight. Supt. Cecil observed that he thought it right to state that .the defendant was scarcely ever in his house before two o'clock in the morning. He had occasion to caution him himself, and he was then taking an active part in a fight. He should have put him in the police station, had not his friends taken him away. Their Worships fined the defendant 5s. and 7s. 6d. costs, and in default of payment in 14 days, ordered him to be imprisoned for seven days. James James, a carpenter residing at Ruther Lane, was charged with being drunk and' riotous in High- street. The defendant pleaded guilty. Mr Rowlands expressed his surprise at seeing the defendant in the court on such a charge, adding that he thought he was a teetotaller. Mr Harford: TVey seem to be worse after being teetotallers than they were before. The Bench ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 2s. 6d. and costs in a month, and in default to be im- prisoned for 14 days. Thomas Thomas, labourer, of Quay-street, was charged with a similar offence. The defendant pleaded guilty to the charge, and was fined 2s. 6d. and 7s. 6d. costs, which were ordered to be paid in 14 days, and in default of payment seven days' imprisonment. William Lewis, shoemaker, of Ruther Lane, was also summoned for a like offence, committed in the Castle Square. He admitted the charge. This being his second offence, he was fined 5s. and 5s. 6d. costs; and in default of payment in 14 days, ordered to be imprisoned for seven days. orri8 Morgan, a labourer, living at Ruther Lane, was charged with drunkenness and riotous conduct at High-street. He admitted the offence, and was fined 2s. 6d. and 5s. 6d. costs. The defendant asked to be allowed a fortnight to enable him to pay the fine. Their Worships were about to grant the application, when the mother of the defendant stated that he had sufficient money in his pocket to pay the fine and expenses. He denied that he had any money, and thrust his mother i angrily aside. The mother confidently asserted that he was in a position to pay the money and their Worships made an order for his immediate committal to prison. While the warrant was being prepared, a friend produced the money, and the defendant was liberated from custody. Thomas Jones, a bailiff, residing at Shipman's Lane, I was charged with being drunk, and guilty of indecent behaviour. The defendant, who did not appear, was fined 20s. and 6s. 6d. costa; and in default of payment of the fine, a month's imprisonment with hard labour, and in default of payment of costs, to be further impri- soned for one month. Owen Jones, tinman, of Quay-street, was charged with being drunk and riotous at the same place. The defen- dant admitted the charge. Another offence of the same nature, committed on a previous occasion, was also charged against the defendant, to which he also pleaded guilty. Their Worships ordered him to pay a fine of 5J. for each offence, and the costs amounting to lis., in one month, and in default of payment to be imprisoned for a month. Elizabeth Thomas and Elizabeth Lewis, two nymphs of the pave, were charged with drunkenness and riotous conduct on Monday evening at Castle Square. P.C. Harries deposed that the two defendants were very drunk and riotous on the evening in question, and that a great number of persons had collected around them. The defendant Thomas (whose face was much discoloured) received the injuries on that evening. They had been fighting previously to his seeing them in the Castle Square. Lewis attempted to rescue Thomas from his custody. Their Worships ordered them to be imprisoned for seven days Elizabeth Thomas, was then charged with wilfully breaking a window in the cell at the police station. She pleaded guilty to the charge, and their Worships ordered her to be imprisoned for seven days, to commence at the expiration of her first sentence. CHARGE OF STEALING WEARING APPAREL AND OTHER ARTICLES. Ann Thomas of Merlin's Hill, was charged with stealing three aprons, some bed sheets, and other articles, the property of John Griffiths. The value of the article was stated to be about 18s. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, that the defendant was engaged to attend his relative daring her illness, at a charge of half a crown per week. The relative died about nine months since, and shortly before her death the articles referred to, which were her property, were missed by the oomplainant. They were known to be in the possession of the defendant, and the complainant asked her to give them up on several occa- sions, but she refused to do so. The complainant, failing to induce the defendant to surrender the property, then summoned her to the court on the charge of stealing them. The defendant asserted that the deceased relative of the complainant gave her the articles, and that the complainant was aware that the property was in her possession, as she received it from his son. Their worships sent for the complainant's son, who denied that he gave the articles to defendant, and also stated that he never heard that they were at any time given to her. The bench stated that it was a case that did not come within their jurisdiction, and informed the complainant that he had his remedy in the County Court. They re- commended the defendant to give up the articles, as it appeared from her own showing that she was unlawfully in possession of them.

HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY COURT. THURSDAY. [Before H. R. Bagshawe, Esq, Judge.] Henry Salmon, of Eveston, in the parish of Brawdy, farmer, Ð. Emma Tucker Edwardes, of Sealyham, in the parish of St. Dogwells. This was an action for the re- eovery of JE20. The particulars of the plaintiff's claim were as follows:- £ II. d. 1862. Fer that the defendant contracted August. with the plaintiff:- Sept. 29. For work done on the farm of Mus- land 14 2 5 For lime supplied to the same place 6 6 8 £ 20 9 1 X20 9 1 The plaintiff abandoned the sum of 9s Id, and olaimed X20 on account stated. The case was entered for the July Court, when judg- ment was given for the plaintiff by Algernon Bathurst, Eeq, barrister-at-law, deputy judge, for the full amount claimed, and costs, with leave to move for a new trial. Defendant's counsel at the August Court moved for a new trial, which was granted by Judge Bagshawe, with leave also for it to be tried by jury. Mr Lascelles, instructed by Mr A. H. Lascelles, Nar- berth, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr W. S. Owen, instructed by Mr W. Davies, of Haverfordwest, for the defendant. Mr Lascelles having opened the case, The plaintiff deposedI lived at Eweston last year. I went to Sealyham about the farm of Musland, about August, 1862. I saw Miss Edwardes. She usually acts as agent for Mrs Edwardes. A conversation took place about Musland. She said, I cannot let the farm at present, as it is not given up.' She said, Go down to Musland and see if Mathias wishes to give the farm up.' I went down and saw Mathias. I had another interview with defendant about a fortnight afterwards. I asked her to let me the farm. Defendant said, 'I have had the farm up.' I failed to arrange with her that time. I made her an offer of £95. She would not let me have it. She wanted £110, which I refused to give. She ordered me to come to town on Saturday. I came accordingly, and saw Miss Edwardes. She said I must rise in my offer. I offered jglOO, and she was to give me the stone and timber for repairing it. Defendant said I must go to the tenant and ask for leave to work the farm. I went. Defendant said, You can depend on having the farm.' She said, Go you on with the work: if you don't have it I'll repay you every penny for your trouble.' I said, ril go and give up my own farm now,' and she said, Well, you may go.' I saw Mathias. After I had seen him I drove lime over the land. 1 bought it with Mr Ormond for £ 6. I attended sales in the neighbour- hood. I bought corn and carted it to Musland ana stacked it. I ploughed and harrowed and spread the lime. I paid Mathias for labour. The expense alto- gether for labour was £ 14 9s 5d. I was not allowed to go into possession of Musland. I took cattle to the farm and was told to take them from there. Mathias, the occupier, ordered me to take them from there. I went to Sealyham and saw Miss Edwardes in October. Defendant said, I What can we do now?' I told bertha expense I had been put to. She said, • I will write to Squire Bowen to-day, to persuade James to give the place up.' I saw Miss Edwardes each time, and she she would try to get the place for me. I have never baa it. James continues to occupy. Thomas Gwyther valued the labour for me. I received the letter pro* duced from Mr Jones: he was doing business for MIsS Edwardes and with the tenants. Cross-examined by Mr Owen: Jones came down with me to Musland to see Mathias, as my friend. My cla"s against Miss Edwardes is £20. I was not put to Ally expense upon Musland except the £20. I claimed first. I now claim X20 because you wanted to move tbe case to London. Musland Farm belongs to MiJ Edwardes. I wrote a letter to Mrs Edwardes in wl»cft I claimed compensation. Mr Jones was with me I first saw Miss Edwardes. I have seen her three altogether on the matter. Jones was with me twice. I don't recollect anything about the trustee. I never told Miss Edwardes that I had been twice for the trusted She told me to go and see Mr Owen after I had take* the place. I had no quarrel with Mathias, the tenitlitt when he refused to give up the farm. I had agreed to pay Mathias for the fallow. I did not refuse to pay f°* it before the 29th of September. I did no carting Mathias. I paid a man a week's harvest for Mathias ill return for what he did for me. Thomas James, examined by Mr Lascelles: I VrO tenant of Musland in 1862. I am allowed to remain in now by the landlady. Miss Edwardes gave me the la'j receipt. I have not got the last receipt. I have not been subpoenaed this time.—[A letter from witness to his son-in-law was here produced.]—The letter is not niy handwriting. I never gave the farm up myself Mathias wanted me to give up the farm. Salmon Miss Edwardes refused to pay me for the fallow manure. The incoming tenant is expected to take the manure: if he won't do so, the landlord is expected to take it. The defendant, who was examined by Mr OffeL4 deposed: 1 live at Sealyham. The plaintiff came to look for Musland in August. I told him the farm w*8 not to let. On the 4th James and Mathias came to Seaty" ham, wishing to give up the farm. Mr Jones is no to the estate. He came to me as Salmon's friend, to recommend him. He came to me again. Plaintiff said he had agreed with Mathias about the fallow, manure and seed. I told him James had not given up the farP1, and therefore any agreement made with Mathiascould not be recognised. 1 told the plaintiff that we could not agree about the farm, but that he must go to the trustee- Mr Jones was present at that interview. I saw the plaintiff again in Haverfordwest on the 30th of AugoS" My mother and myself came to Haverfordwest byar- rangement to see the trustee. I did not see the trustee that day. The plaintiff was very anxious to have all answer. I said we could give him no further answer than to reduce the rent to £ 100. Nothing else happened at that interview. The plaintiff was going to give his farm to his present landlady. I did not say words sworn to by the plaintiff, that • I will pay every penny for your trouble.' 1 never used any words to that effect. Cross-examined by Mr Lascelles: The plaintiff said be was going to give up his farm. I know Mr Jones. recollect his coming to me alone on the subject of MUS; land. I don't know his writing. Mr Jones lives a Wolfscastle. I may have told Jones that I had Put James into Mr Davies, the lawyer's hands. By the Judge: I received a letter from James to his son-in-law, Mathias, the occupier of the farm. Rev. Daniel Jones: I live at Wolfscastle, and ana Dissenting minister. I am not a sub-agent for the Sealyham estate. I have known the plaintiff from bis youth. I went to Sealyham about the beginning oj August, 1862, about the farm of Musland. Defendant said she would have nothing to do with letting the farm until it was properly given up. Defendant asked me to go to Musland to ask Mathias if he was going to lea vetne farm. I went a little time afterwards to see Edwardes again with the plaintiff. I went to Musland. He gave me a letter from James giving up the fartB. Salmon and I then went to Sealyham with Mathias, and brought the letter. Salmon tried to agree about the farm: they could not agree then, but they were to meet at Haverfordwest on the following Saturday to go to the trustee. 1 was in Haverfordwest on that Saturday. was not present at the interview. Cross-examined by Mr Laacelles: I recollect seeing Miss Edwardes at Sealyham. The letter produced isUj my handwriting. Defendant told me that she wouW consult with Mr Davies, the lawyer, and try to get James out. John Mathias, examined by Mr Lascelles, deposed: 1 lived at Musland in August, 1862. There was lime on to Musland a little before September, 1862, by Sal" mon. The ground has been sown with wheat since, and James had the wheat. Salmon did some ploughing and led corn there, and had it thatched there at his own expense. Salmon also took it away. He paid me for labour done by me for him at Musland. By the Judge: I did not threaten to impound the horses of Salmon. I wrote the letter now produced. signed James's name without his authority. I handed it over to Miss Edwardes. By a Juryman: I copied the letter from one written by James.. Mr Lascelles addressed the jury in a very powerfo1 speech, after which The learned Judge summed up at very great length. The jury, after a short consultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. During the hearing of the case a rather unusual scene occurred. A lady on the Bench, who we believe was t]10 defendant's sister, spoke to the defendant during her eJ:" amination, which was objected to by Mr Lascelles, plaintiff's counsel. His Honour, amidst a great deal ot excitement, ordered the lady to leave the Bench, or th. defendant to give her evidence from the witneiss-bol- Upon this the defendant exclaimed that her father been highly respected in the town, and she did not think that she would have been insulted in that w& The other lady, however, was compelled to leave Bench. The Judge stated that shortly previous to tbi'» as be was leaving the Bench for a few minutes, he £ the lady in the passage of the Hall, and she told him tb*' she believed the case was all a conspiracy against mother.

TENBY. We are glad to learn that the Local Board of Health intend during the ensuing winter to lay a main sewer froBt the present good sewer on the Quay Hill, along Street, passing in front of the Castle Square houses, tO the sea, near the rock known as Boteler's Horse,' there to empty in deep water, where the course of the current will carry sewage away from the town, and all the bathing places. This sewer will reoeive the contents of all the drains that now empty into the harbour, and 011 the South Sands near the bathing machines. We Deed scarcely say that this will be a great improvement to the town, and will effectually drain almost the only portion of the town that now requires a main sewer, and "ill render the harbour perfectly free from sewage. The deposit from these drains in the harbour has been aG evil long complained of. The west main sewer bss already removed a similar nuisance from several other parts of the town.

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS. It ia particularly requested that all remittances be mad* after this date to the TRUSTEES or their Clerk, MR JAMES THOMAS, Herald Office, High -street. Postoffic Orders should be made payable to Mr Thomas, who is the authorised Receiver of accounts due in respect of this Journal.
