Hitherto the law only allowed the expenses of prosecutions to be, paid when a committal took place, but by the now act the examining magistrates can grani certificates of expenses for compensation of trouble an<i loss of time to witnesses in ease3 of felony, and certain cases of misdemeanour, although the witnesses were not bound over, and although no committal took place. This beneficial alteration is made by the act 29 and 30 Viet, c. 52, which received the royal assent last week 'Yarther, the clerks of petty sessions are to be allowed fees on depositions. The certificates of the magistrates are to be forwarded to the quarter sessions, and they ma) wholly or partially allow the expenses, and order pay- ment. The act is only to apply to England, and to con- tinue in operation three years. It is to extend the former acts on prosecutors' expenses-the 7 Geo. IV, c. 84, and It and 15 Vict, C. 55.

These sessions were held at the shire Hall on Saturday, before A. B. Starbuck, Eilq. 0. E. Davies, Ef-q, J. P Jones, Esq, Rev P. Phelps, and Capt. Child. ILLEGAL NETS, Thomas Jenhins, Lewis Picton, Joseph Barrie-, an1' Thomas Warlow, of Hook, were charged by P C. Frederic Clarke with attempting to take salmon with nets having a mesh of less dimensions than two inches frotu knot to knot. Mr Price appeared for the defendants, and pleaded guilty to the charge, stating that the men were not aware that it was an illegal net. On the day previous to that named in the charge, the policeman had been round and examined the nets, and did not say anything against them. He an rely mentioned the fact in mitigation of any fine the B nch might impose upon the defendants. P C. Griffiths stated that he did not inspect the nets cffleially; he saw them on the beach, and went and looked at th nets, but not hiving his measure with him, lie did not ascertain their !.ize. It was no part of his duty to inspect nets, and he made no official examina- tion. Mr O. E. Davies: The Bench are inclined to deal tenicntly with you, as you might have used them believing them to be right, in consequence of the policemen not aving said anything against them. We fancy his not mea-tiling the nets might have misled you, though at the "ame. time you must know that the size of the mesh is two inches. This time we shall fine you 6d each and cost*. P C. Clarke enquired whether the Bench ordered the nets to he forfeited ? The Clerk: 11 the magistrates have the power, they will say that they are not to be forfeited, t'ut If the statute !-ays that the nets are to be forfeited, the magistrates cannot prevent it. They must abide by the statute. USING A FIXED ENGINE. The same defendants were charged with using a fixed engine to take fish. Mr Pi ice, on behalf of the delendants, denied the charge. P C. Griffiths deposed: On the 31st of July, I saw the four defendants on the river Cleddau, with nets 21 feet long, attached to poles five fet t long, tipped with iron. The nets I produce: they are bag nets, and measure 14 feet in thi centre, and two feet lour inches at the ends att tched to the poles. One man was at each end of the net, which was as far apart as the string would permit. I saw the. from about 20 to 25 minutes. When they t ok it up they hiid some fish. The two ends of the net were drawn together, and the fish were then in a regular hug. I <ould not see what fish they took out of the net, ii u two suwin and four flat fish were afterwards taken trom one 01 the men. The two nets are made in the same vay. Joseph Harries and Thomas Warlow held one net: both nets were used at the same time, two defendants to • nch net, and standing abreast of each oiher right across he stream, the poles with the iron end being stuck into the bed of the river. Cross-examined: They were moving about ill the water; they had one hand to the poles and the other to the net. When I saw them first they were in the water, I saw them take up the nets, and I saw them fixing them again. P.C. Bradbury: I saw the defendants using the net in the way described by the last witness. 1 took tho fish 'rom Lewis Picton and Thomas Jenkins. Cross-examined The poles were sunk about half a foot into the ground 1 don't think they could stand of them- "ilves. I was about 500 yards off, and I judge of the depth by my own experience, for I have been accus- lomed to this sort of thing. It was a sandy bottom. This was the case for the complainant. Mr Price submittted that under the provisions of the Salmon Fishery Act, the net was not a fixed engine, and that according to the evidence adduced as to the manner of using it, they had not committed an offence within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. Mr O. E. Davies: It is the opinion of the Bench that it is not a fixed engine, and the case is dismissed. Capt Stokes remarked that be had brought the case forward in order to obtain the opinion of the Bench as to whether it was an illegal engine or not. In the coarse of ,conversation, the Clerk stated that in his opinion the instrument used was a fixed engine within the meaning of the Act of Parliament. WILFUL DAMAGE TO A WINDOW. Michael Hallaran, a marine, was charged with wilfully damaging the window of Mr Bendall, publioan, of Llanstadwell. The defendant did not appear. David Lloyd deposed that he saw the defendant go to complainant's door, which was shut. He thrust his fist through the window. He did not know his name, but Mrs Bendall came out, and saw him go up the Gale. Elizabeth Bendall deposed that ahe was in the house when she heard the smash of the window, and saw the defendant there. His hand was covered with blood. He had come into the house for beer, which was refused him as he was the worse for liquor. She shut the door, and for that the defendant broke the window. She paid Is for repairing the damage. The Bench ordered the defendant to pay Is for the damage, and 2s 6d fine with costs, and in default of pay- ment 14 days' hard labour. BREACH OF THE PEACB. Mary Eynon was charged with using language towards Sarah George, calculated to cause a breach of the peace. Mr Price appeared for the accused, and denied the charge. The Complainant deposed: On the 14th of July, I saw Marv Eynon at Langum. She was riding a horse after me, and I said to her, 'Now Mary, can you swear what you have been saying ?• and she said I Aye.' (Laughter.) 'Can you,' I said, 'swear I stole your cabbages?' 'Aye,' she said—(great laughter)—' because my cabbage leaves are on your mixen, and you sold them. You are a thief,' and she rode on. (Renewed laughter.) The Clerk: Was that all that was said ? Complainant: She said somthing after that, but I oannot say what. The Clerk: Then, if I understand you, you attacked her about the cabbage? Complainant: Yes, I asked the question. The Clerk: And she gave you an answer ? Complainant: Yes. The Clerk Rather an awkward one too. (Laughter.) The Bench dismissed the case without hesitation, re- marking that a worse case they had never beatd of. The complainant was ordered to pay the costs, amount. ing to 5s 6d. ALLOWING PIGS TO STRAY. Lewis Williams was charged with allowing a pig to stray on the highway. The defendant, who did not appear, was fined 6d and costs. John Jones was charged with allowing three pigs to stray on the highway. The defendant stated that the pigs were on the high- way. and be was sorry that it bad happened. They had been locked up for six weeks, and he let them out for half an hour, while he cleaned the stye. They were small pigs, PC David Evans, in answer to the Bench, said he could not tell bow long the pigs were on the road. Mr 0 E Davies: The case is dismissed. Mr J. P. Jones: Wait a bit. Mr Davies: I thought you had agreed. Mr Jones You are rather hasty. Mr Davies: We are all agreed here Mr Jones: I think he ouwht to be nned as well as others. It does not take half an hour to clean out a stye f II t'lree pige. There ought to be a nominal fine. Mr Davies: I am ageinst fining him at all. Mr Jones: This day week his daughter may come here, and plead as an excuse that she was cleaning out he stye. Rev P f helps: The case is dismissed; but mind keep them in for the future. In Rhosmarket, I know very well that the pigs are generally out; though perhaps yours are not. STEALING LIMK. Benj imin Evans was charged by John Roberts with stealing a quantity of lime from Westfield Kiln, in the parish of R sosuiarket. Mr J C James appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Price for the acoui-ed The Prosecutor deposed I live at Shipping. I hire a limekiln on Mr Walters's farm in the parish of Rhos- market. I had drawn lime on the 12th of July, and on the 13th I caught the accused between ten and eleven at night coming out of the kiIn gutter with a bag of lime. Richard Reynolds was with me He came ont of the gutter when I callie down upon him. and ran off, holding the bag kiy his side, and emptying the lime out as he ran. I picked up some of the stones of lime, which ex- tended over one hundred yards. The hair would carry about a Winchester and a half. He had moustaches and long whi-kers, about seven inch, s long. He has since shaved, H", mowed for n e last year. The prisoner is the man. hut I failed to catch him. as he ran too fast for me. and I am rather lame. I passed him on the road last July fair, and he then had moustaches and whiskers. Cross examine* It was a dark nisiht: I was watching the kiln that night. I was about fortv-five feet off the limekiln: I had been watching about twenty minuti's. I was home at a quarter to eleven London time: the time I saw him would be nine minutes and thirty seconds after ten o'clock, and I commenced watching at ten minutes to ten. I was from seven to nine feet from him. I should have caught him but for his sister, whom I stopped to see who she was. I met the prisoner's sister in the path going to the kiln, and a woman named Let- ti< e Rees. The sister is about thirteen or fifteen years ot age, and while I was talking to h. r. he came out of the gutter. The woman bad a basket with her. I could positively swear it was the man that mowed for me last eummer: if I bad not recognized him to-day, I should not have sworn to him. R chard Reynolds deposed: 1 live at Westfield Mill. I went to Westfield kiln on the 30th of July: I met Mr Roberts there: it was about ten o'clock I stopped there about a quarter of an honr or twenty minuses. I saw a man going up through the road that leads from the little field to the kiln. Two girls came in after him, andju-t after they came, he turned down a little paih to the kiln gutter. Mr Roberts ran out and met the girls, and asked the big one what she wanted. She said she was coming fr)m market: he dashed down to the kiln gutter, and the man ran off. I ran down the road to meet him, and as he passed some lime fell,from t. is bosom. I was fi ve or six yards from him. It was not very dark noi very light. I thought the man was Benjamin Evans (the ac- cu-ed): to the best of my knowledge it was he. I thought at the time he was the man, and I thinx so now I have known him ten or eleven yeai-s. Mr Roberts. when the prisoner ran off, said, 'Fire, fire,' and the prisoner hallooed something, but I could not tell what he said. Mr Roberts had no g'lII, but a walking stick I thought it was the prisoner tiy the light 01 the kiln fire. Cross-examined: I might b,. mistaken, but to the best of my knowledge be is the man. This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner elected to be tried by a jury, and re- served his defence. The Mench committed the prisoner to take his trial at the next quarter sessions. Bail was accepted for his appearance. STEALING A GOOSE. Alfred Taylor, a marine, was charged with stealing a goose, the property of the prosecutor in the preceding case. George Edwards deposed: I work with Mr Roberts on the farm of Shipping. I saw the prisoner go into the field about half-past five o'clock. He got over the gau- and drove the geese together. He struck the one pro- duced on the head with a stick, and nut it under his arm, and carried it to the hedge. When he saw us coming he was going to run; but I and the two other persons who were with me said, Hold on, we have got yon now.' He then stopped. Robert Evans took the goose from the hedge: it is my master's property. It is a young goose, and worth 2s. The prosecutor said that the most important witness was unable to attend owing to illness. The prisoner elected to be summarily dealt with, and stated that he went into the field thinking there was a path that way. The goose flew at his legs, and he struck it with a stick, and flung it into the hedge. He did not intend to steal it. The Bench ordered the prisoner to be committed to the House of Correction for one month with hard labour The prosecutor said he wished the Bench to deal leniently with the prisoner, who he believed had been the dupe of another party on board the ship. The Bench, in consequence of the prosecutor's appli- cation, reduced the period of punishment to 14 days.

TEN BY. ACCIDENTAL DEATH.-On Monday morning week a man of the name of Parcell, was accidentally killed at thl Bonville Court Colliery. As an inquest will be held, we refrain from giving any further particulars till after tht close of the inquiry. SUNDAY SCHOOL TKBAT —The children of tfreBaptist Sunday School at Saundersfoot, together with the mem- bers of the congregation and other friends,. to the number of 150, went on an excursion to \f anorbier by rail on Monday week. After visiting the Castle and other places of interest, they amused themselves with all kinds of rustic sports, and returned to Saundersfoot, highly delighted with their trip. H ACCIDENT.— On Tuesday morning week a row ofladatt waggons was standing on the line of rails in Saunders!oot, and the driverwas engaged in fastening up the door of the first coal waggon, when another set of waggons came on from a crossing, and in contact with the stationary wag- gons, squeezing the head of the driver, John Thomas, between the two sets. Though the poor fellow's head was fearfully pressed, we are happy to say that we are under no apprehensions of any fatal result. ST. MABGABET'S FAIR.-This fair, which was held on Tuesday week, was originally instituted for the pur- poses of trade, and formerly it was frequented by busi- ness men but now, through the establishment of shops, and easier modes of conveyance, it has degenerated into a mere excuse for the idle and vicious to congregate, and therefore no longer necessary. We should be glad to see tho authorities interfere and put a stop to a continuation of all such proceedings. Pic Nic.—A large number of persons left Saundersfoot on Wednesday for a pic-nic on Caldy Island, in the schooner Rose,' and after enjoying themselves heartily on the island they returned at 7 p.m. When disem- barking by a boat, a young woman displayed rather too much agility, bounced against one of the sailors in tb* boat, and succeeded in making an unceremonious entry into the sea, the seaman also falling in, we suppose for company's sake. With the true tenacity and gallantry of the British sailor, he kept her up above water until assistance came, and rescued her from her very unenviable position. METEOROLOGY FOR JULY.—The barometer was high- est, 30.044, on the 10th, atits lowest, 29.284, on the 3rd, giving a range of .960. ihe steadiness of the mercury from the 12th to the 22nd was remarkable. The highest temperature at 8l a.m. was 68 deg. on 12th and 15th; the lowest, 58 deg., on the 31st. Maximum temperature of the month, 89 deg. on 20th, minimum, 49 deg. on 5tbt giving a range for the month of 40 deg. Greatest daily range, 28.5 deg. on 31st. Saturation was marked by the hygrometer on three occasions, all at S-L a.m. Greatest dryness (saturation 100), 59 on the 29th. The rain-fall amounted to 1.66 inches on 14 days. This is double the rein-fall at Carmarthen for the corresponding period, which, for the preceding six months, has been fully dou- ble that of Tenby. A sea fog on the 10th was foil iwed by very remarkable effects of refraction and reflection.- FKEDEIIIC D. DYSTER. POLICE COURT, MONDAY, JULY 30, 1866.—Before the Mayor, Dr I lyster, N J Dunn, C Allen, and 11 Sander*, Esqrs, and Rev T H Dunn.—George Williams was charged by W Noot, Inspector of Nuisances, with neglecting to remove a nuisance. Fined 2s 6d, costs 7s 6d, or sevell days' imprisonment. The Inspector was ordered to re- move the nuisance.— Caleb Morris was charged br Martha Daily with an assault. Case dismissed.—Matilda Jones, daughter of Mr D Jones, cab proprietor, was charged by Head-constable Harrison with using unlicensed bathing machines on the Sou'h Sands. Mr W V James, Haver- fordwest, appeared for the defendant. Mr James denied the legality of the bye laws of the Local Board, a, far as they related to gran'ing licences for bathing machines, as no act, he maintained, gave them that power; but this was not the case with regard to licences of cabs and boats; moreover, that his client had applied to the Local Board to fix a stand for his machines, which had not been done. The case was adjourned for three weekll.- George Smith, cab proprietor, was charged by Head- constable harrison with plying for hire off the stand. Mr W V James appeared for the defendant. This case was dismissed. BALL.—The third ball of the season passed off very successfully on Monday evening week, under thes'eward- ship of Colonel Lewis, Lieut. Onslow, and Captain Rawlins. Dancing was kept up with great spint. till long after dawn. Supper was provided by Mr J. Gre- gory in bis usual good style.

0 PEMBROKE PEMBROKE FARMERS' CLUB. The annual meeting of the above Club (which was an- nounced to take place on the 4th instant) has been un- avoidably postponed.

N ARB E R T H. OTTER HUNT WITH MR POWELL'S Hourms ON THB EASTERN CLEDDAU. VIr Powell, with his usual kind cODsideration tor the Narberth folks and neighbourhood, met with bis pack on Friday week at Blackpool Bridge about three miles from the town, and in a few minutes t e welcome crash was heard, mingled with cries of i Hark, bark!' The varmint' had quitted his holt' and made straight for his old haunt, the salmon poolf where, undoubtedly, he had enjoyed many a hearty repast on salmon and sewin.
