REVISION COURT.
REVISION COURT. The Court for the revision of the lists of voters for 'he b of Haverfordwest was held at the Shire HaJJ. on Thursday, before Josiah Rees, Esq, barrister-at- ( law. The business transacted occupied the Court but a ven short time, and the attendance was very small. Mr W. V. James, solicitor, represented the Conservative interest, and Mr W. John, solicitor, appeared for the Liberal party. THE FREEMEN'S LISTS. William Marychurch, on the list of Freemen, was objected to by Mr James, on the grouud that he was non-resident. Mr Joseph Marychurch, examined by Mr John, de- posed I and my son are joint occupiers of the farm of Dudwell, which is about five miles from Haverfordwest. Wo are jointly rated to the parochial rates. My son is now at Cardiff: his wife has been down here for the last four or five months, and during a portion of that time Mrs Marychurch and her children have resided and slept at Dudwell. He is joint occupier in every respect: and has as much right to he there as I have. The lease was granted to him. By Mr James Previous to my son's going to Car- diff, he resided at Swansea. His wife went off, and a dwelling house was hired by him. He has also a busi- ness there. He has contemplated removing from Swan- sea to Cardiff, and carrying on some other business there. In the summer his wife and family were in Haverfordwest, staying in Bridge Street. They lived there, and paid for it, I don't know that my son has been here for a week at a time since he removed. lie comes down by rail, and goes back in a couple of days. He has been down within the last month three times. I don't know that. he has ever been a month without coming down. We have separate rooms at Dudwell, By the Barrister He has been the greater part of the time in Glamorganshire, attending to his business there. By Mr John: My son has furniture at Dudwell not connected with the partnership but we are joint owners of the furniture generally. We are joint owners of the stock and crop Mr John submitted that the evidence proved there was a bona fide residence within seven miles of Haver- fordwest. It was true that the voter had a residence at Swansea and would shortly have another at Cardiff but nevertheless the evidence was quite distinct that he had also a residence at Dudwell. He need hardly say that if a man's means permitted, and he had a whim for anything of the kind, he might have a house in every town in the kingdom. The residence of the voter was not in this case a colourable one it was a bona fide occu- pation of a large farm, for which he and his father paid rates. Mr James contended that there was not auflfoient residence to meet the requirements of the act. He was willing to admit that the voter and his family occasionally came to Dudwell, but the evidence, he thought, showed that the primary residence was at Swansea where his business was. The voter had taken a house at Swansea, and furnisned it, and he was going from there to Cardiff, intending to reside there. He thought there could be little doubt, that the headquarters were at Swansea, and that he had no residence at Dudwell within the meaning of the act. The Barrister said he was of opinion that there was sufficient residence, and retained the vote. He expressed his willingness to grant a case for a superior court, but Mr James said he did not wish for one, remarking that the Reform Bill would bo shortly in operation, and it was not necessary to lesort to a proceeding which was ex- pensive. Thomas Lloyd, of the Merlin's Bridge, and Jno. Carter, of Bullford, were objected to by Mr James. The names were expunged. ST. MARY'S. James Bowen, Mariner's Square, claimed in respect of a house in his occupation of the value of £10 a year. ihe claim, which was supported by Mr JohD, was admitted. James Alexander Reid claimed as occupier of a house in Dew-street, for which he paid £10 a year, Mr James supported the claim, which was admitted. James David Brown claimed to be inserted in th e freeholder's list in respect of Kensington House. It was stated that the claimant's name was already on the list lof occupiers. Mr John supported the claim, whicht having been proved by Mr J. Marychurch, was admitted. PRENDERGAST. Thomas Harries, of the Old Bridge, chimed as occupier of a building and land of the value of £ 36 a year. The claim, which was supported by Mr John, was admitted. ST. MARTIN'S. Jno. James Jenkins, of Castle Square, claimed to be inserted on the freeholder's list in respect of the house in his occupation. Mr John supported the claim, which was admitted. James Criddle, of Bridge-street, claimed as occupier of a house in Bridge-street. Mr John supported. Mr Baker, the assistant overseer, said the name of the claimant had been accidentally omitted. The name had been expunged in the previous year in consequence of non-payment of rates. The name was inserted on the list. Joseph Davies, of Barn-street, claimed as occupier of houses in immediate succession. The claimant had resided in a house in Bridge street of the value of £ 19 annually, and had removed to Barn-street, where he now occupied a house of the annual value ofJSlO 10s. The claim was admitted. Edward Wilson, who was supported by Mr James, claimed as occupier of a house in Holloway of the annual value of XIO he had previously resided ifl Gloucester Terrace, where be had paid £ 15 a year. The claim was admitted. ST. THOMVS. John Phillips, of Grove-row, (objected to by Mr James) and Thomas Martin Watts (objected to by Mr john) were struck off she list. John James, of Hill-street, claimed to be inserted in the freeholder's list in respect of houses owned by hiol in St. Thomas Green. The claim (which was supported by Mr James) wa* admitted. William John, junior, claimed in respect of a house owned by him in Hill-street. Mr James supported. The claim was admitted. Thomas Lewis, of Gnat-street, claimed in respect of a house in his occupation in Goat-street. Mr John sup- ported. Mr G. Thomas, of St. Martin's, proved that the claimant held a lease of the house, and that he paid £3 a year ground rent. The inside repairs were done by the claimant, but the roof was repaired by the landlord. The house, previous to the granting of the lease, was let for XIO a year. The claim was admitted. Thomas Williams, on the list of occupiers, was ob- jected to by Mr James. The name was expunged. UZMASTON. There were no alterations made in the lists for this parish.

ACCIDENT ON THE CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN ■SAZLTTAY.—The 3*20 p.m. train which started from the town station on Tuesday to meet the up train at the Carmarthen Junction, ran off the main line into the sulino; Ifeaaing to the chemical works, owing to the neglect of &s pointsman, who had left the points open. Fortu- aately the train was travelling slowly, and the passengers sseaped with a slight shaking and fright, and were con- TSJuS by the omnibus to the Junction. POBFIELD FAIR.—This annual fair was held on Sa. turday last. The attendance was more numerous than at any fair of late 3 ears, which is accounted for by the circumstance of the fair and market being bold on the aasae day. Wages were generally at the 'same rates as feat year, but there were many instances in which higher demands were conceded. The fair being Coe of pleasure as weU as of business, there were the usual aoiESeiisents, which appeared to be extensively patronised torougnout the day. Some of the light fingered fra. ter'Bity were in attendance, but we are glad to learn that ibey pursued their calling with slight success. There are only two cases reported of money being lost, and in sine of theae there is every reason to believe that the Jbsa is attributable to on the part of the T) c, finyri&r and not to the dexterrvty of a pickpocket. HATERFORDWEST RIFLE Coups.—The prises given by Cd.

H. SCOURFIELD. HAVERFORDWEST COUNTY COURT.-J. A. Parry against jt. tnry Bechervaise. This wa, an action brought in the lourt of Common Pleas to recover from the defendant a vum of £26 I03, alleged to be due from him as payee of a promissory note of one Robert Conchar and others, of wsaich the plaintiff was holder.

The testimonial was Presented^ by Mr D. H. Francis, senior pupil, and acknowledged in a kind and masterly manr.tr by Mr ^o'hergul, who eulogised the general attention of he tooys to their studies, and the kindness he had always ■experienced from the head master, the P.ev VV Bo-Jn Rowlands. Mr Rowlands in a brief but. eloquent' speech said that it wowid be dithcult to find a maswi so punctual and attentive to his duties as Mr Fothergill; and observed •Ijac the testimonial possessed a peculiar value a« the spontaneons offering of the unanimous good wishes of the ■fcoys. The respective speeches were vociferously cheered arrd the school shortly after broke up to reassemble on Thursday, October 3rd. POLICE INTELLIGENCE- At T^e Poli'-e Office, on ba- iiirday, John Bryan and Michael Gingley, hawkers, were charged before T. Rule Owen, Esq, with not itafiBg their names and numbers on their package of goods, in the form required by law. The defendants admitted the offence, stating that they bad recently ■Saltan out a new licence, and had renewed the tickets for the purpose of getting the numbers nlUred, but had forgotten to replace them. His Worship reprimanded tiss accused, and discharged them on their promising to leave the town.-On Monday, before Thomas Rule Esq, and H.,P. Goode, Esq, George S-ummers was with assaulting r. C.

The offence was proved by P. C's. Simpson and Harries, and the defen- fmt was committed to prison for seren days. MARRIAGE REJOICINGS.—The marriage of Mr Isaa( Roberts, of Merlin's Hill, to Miss Lettice Young, of Holloway, was solemnized at Ebenezer Chapel, on Thursday, in the presence of the Registrar, Mr John James, the officiating minister being the Rev Stephen Jenkins, of Prendergast. The event created considerable excitement, and the chapel was filled to overflowing some time before the hour appointed for the ceremony. The bride, attended by her friends, and dressed in fash- ionable attire, walked to the chapel, while the bridegroom was conveyed in a carriage and pair, the horses being decorated with the customary wedding favours. The minister and the parties most interested arrived in the chapel before eleven,-the time fixed for the ceremony, —and awaited the arrival of the Registrar. Punctually, at eleven o'clock, or to be precise, one minute before that hour—the Registrar entered the chapel, and was received by the audience with demonstrations of satis- faction. 'You are late,' said the officiating minister, addressing the Registrar in a tone indicating impatience. The Registrar replied that he had attended at the exact hour named in the application to him, and his statement was eagerly supported by the delighted bridegroom, who exclaimed: 'Yes: he is quite right: he is here at the exact hour be promised to come, and I am obliged to him for his punctuality.' The question of the punctuality oi 'he Registrar having been thus satisfactorily settled, the ceremony was commenced, the minister performing the service with much impressiveness. At its conclusion, and when all the proceedings necessary to convert Miss Young into Mrs Roberts had been completed, the bride- groom waved his handkerchief to the audience, and thanked them for their excellent behaviour, and for their kind demonstrations. The bridal party then left the chapel,-the bride carrying somo fine bouquets of flowers which had been presented to her,—and entered the car- riage arnid the cheering of the spectators. The carriage was driven through the principal streets of the town, the bridegroom frequently waving his hat in recognition of the demonstrations of the crowd, and to the residence of Mr Roberts, on Merlin's Hill. Here there was a large arch erected, extending across the street, and displaying a number of flags of different colours. Flags were also hung out fiom the neighbours' houses, and amid the firinp of cannon and the ringing of bells, the happy couple entered their residence, fn the evening there was a display of fireworks, and fire bhUs were thrown about. It may serve to explain the interest felt in this event if we add that the bride has attained her 70th year, and that the bridegroom has seen souiewh re about seventy -five summer.?., ST MARTIN'S CHURCH.—A special thanksgiving ser- vice for the Harvest was held at St Martin's Church on Tuesday evening week, when an excellent discourse was preachci, u;t? Lev ts. 0,. Mean. to a large congregation. he churcn was neatly decorated for the occasion, and there were many devices, in the execution of which much ingenuity and taste had been displayed. At the commu- nion table was the inscription—'The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereor: formed of red letters on a white ground. On the table was a large sheaf, formed of wheat, barley, and oats, and on one side of it was a large wish of apples, and on the other side a similar vessel con- taining some remarkably fine grapes. There were two handsome wreaths on the pulpit-one on the upper portion of it, formed of wheat, scarlet geraniums, and oak leaves, and one on the lower portion, constructed in a similar manner, but with barley substituted for wheat. Ihe reading desk was also decorated with a wreath,com- posed of dahlias, scarlet geraniums, and mountain ash. Much taste was show v. in the adornment of the font, and the very pretty device which was here formed attracted considerable attention. The decoration assumed ths form of a canopy, in the construction of which ferns and barley were intermixed with considerable skill. Crown- ing the device was a minature sheaf of Tartarian oats, and in the centre of the font was placed a vase of beauti- ful flowers. On the window cills and other available spaces in the church were placed flowers of many varieties. The decorations were very successfully carried out, and the effect, of the whole hy ?a-light was pteasing in the extreme. Mr Meares preached with much earnest- ness and power, and during the service made the very gratifying announcement that the Church was now completely free from debt. The occasion was, therefore, one which served to recognise, in a proper manner and with befitting solemnity, two great events—a plenteous harvest, and the "freeing from debt of the oldest church in !he town after struggles and difficulties of ,n very trying character. Aware of the great obstacles which the Church of St. Martin's have had to contend with, we can well imagine that it was with feelings of great thankfulness that Mr Meares. announced to the congregation that the Restoration Committee now owed no man anything. The acha ve- ment is a glorious one, and confers the highest honour upon all concerned in the work, chief among whom is the respected clergyman, who laboured for its cof,.sum- maiion with unwearied zeal and energy. About £2,300 have been expended on the Church since the commence- ment of the work. This money has been raised by voluntary subscriptions: the church has been rebuil:, and every Sunday it is filled by large congregations These are facts which speak for themselves. Few con- gregations have bad such a long and wearying struggle as that of St. Martin's, and we congratulate the parishioners with all sincerity upon the successful com- pletion of a work, the progress of which every Church- man must have watched with feelings of the deepest interest and anxiety. HAVERFORDWEST CRICKET CLUB.—A match was played at Portfield on Friday week between eight members of this club and 15 selected from other clubs in the town. The eight members scored in their first innings 98 runs, and the 15, 42. The eight concluded their second when the stumps were drawn, and the game was decided by the first, innings, in which the eight more than doubled the score of their opponents. MrC. Saunders, on the part of the Haverfordwest Club, made the ex- cellent score of 36, which included one 4, two 3's, and five 2's. Messrs Buckland, Trindall, W. M. Phillips, and J. Williams also played steadily, and obtained good scores. The highest score on the side of the fifteen was 24, made by Mr J. P. Lewis, who batted with much care, and made some very fine aits to leg" and long- on." The following is the state of the game when the stumps were drawn :— HAYER-FORDWES f CLUB. L.

Thomas Adams, a tramp, who stated that he was a native of Liverpool, was charged with stealing a shovel the property, of Thomas Gibbon. Thomas Gibbon deposed: I lodge in Cartlett, and work on the Great Western Railway. I left a shovel on the 27th ult near the Goods Shed at. the Haverfordwest Sta- tion. About a quarter to nine in the evening of the same lay, I was returning home from seeing the fireworks when I met the prisoner with a shovel on his shoulder. He asked me if I used 'a spade like this.' I said 'No' then, and he asked me if I could tell him where he could "ell it for a 'tanner' (6d). I thought the shovel was rather a good one for that price, and that I would buy it. 1 asked my mother for 6d, and she went into the house fo get it, I took the spade into my hand, and said, My man, this is my shovel: you have stolen this from the line.' I asked him if he had been working on the Wilford line, and he said he had been working on the Denbigh line. My initials are on the shovel. It cost me 2s 6d when new, and it is little worse than new for my work. It is now worth 2s certainly. The prisoner pleaded guilty, saying that he was un- able to get work, and being greatly in want, he took the ,hovel and tried to sell it for 6d in order to get some- thing to eat. In answer to the Bench, Mr Cecil stated that the prisoner bad been in jail since the 26th ult. The Bench committed him to prison for nine days with hard labour. ILLEGALLY REMOVING GOODS.

Thomas Morgan and Joseph Burrell for trespassing in search of game in the parish of TJzmaston. Thomas Thomas deposed I am in the employ of Mr Pbilipps, of Picton, as a watcher. I saw the defendants on the 25th of September, on the TJzmaston side of the railway bridge, coming out of Furzy Hill. I heard a single shot, and went in the direction of the sound. I saw the two defendants- Morgan had a gun and a setter dog. I asked why they were up to poaching ? They said they saw nothing to poach, and that they had shot at a hawk. There are partridges in the neighbourhood. They were in Rowlands and Pritchard's grounds. John Pritchard, a witness for the defence, deposed that he lived at Cartlett, and occupied land in Uzmaston parish belonging to the Rev J. H. A. Philipps, of Picton Castle. Rowlands was his ..partner. They took land of Mr Gnode, tho agent. They took it yearly. There was no writing. There was nothing said about game. He met Morgan in Cartlett and asked him to accompany him (witness) to catch rabbits. He went about two o'clock to the hill with a dog and gun. Witness went after him, and they beat the hill but found no rabbits. They killed a hare. T. Rule Owen, Esq, deposed that he knew the locality where the defendants were seen. He was present when the land was let. Rowlands was present when an agreement was read, and verbally agreed to the terms. Nothing was said about rubbits. The case was then adj mrned till two o'clock on Satur- day, at the Shire Hall, Haverfordwest, At the adjourned meeting Mr T. R.

He had caused a notice to be put up to warn pers ns found trespassing in search of game on the Picton Estate, spocificaljy naming Uzrnaston parish. The Bench found that the defendants were on the land in search of rabbits only that it was with the leave and licence of the tenant that the tenant had no right to it that defendants believed the tenant had the right. The defendants were guilty of the offence under most extenuating circumstances, and were fined 2s 6d each with advocate's fee—-the whole to be paid in a fortnight, or one calendar month's imprisonment.
