DUNGLEDDY PETTY SESSIONS.—These sessions were held at Cross Inn, on Friday. The business was very liaht. Lemuel Luke, of New Moat, was charged by Ann Bowen with assaulting her, and with dismissing her from his service without a just cause. The evidence was very conflicting, and, on the suggestion of the Bench, the parties came to an amicable arrangement.—Benjamin Cousins, ofNarberth, was charged by Walter Jones with assaulting him in Maenclochog fair, and was fined 2s 6d costs.— Thomas Klins was charged under 'The Master and Servant Act, 1867,' with deserting the service of Mr Thomas Phillips, of Walton East, and was ordered to pay 163 compensation, and costs. LECTURE ON 'SELF CONQUEST. The Rev Richard Huberts, of London, delivered an excellent lecture on the above-named subject at the Wesleyan Chapel, in this town, on Monday evening week. The Rev James Hartle, the superintendent minister of the circuit, occupied the chair. The lecture was highly popular, abounded with apt illustrations, and occupied in its delivery about two hours; its teaching was souod to the core, and may be summed up in the words of scripture, He that ruleth his own spirit is better than he that taketh a city.' Th lecturer was frequently and warmlyjapplauded as he pro ceeded, and when he sat down the applause was hearty and long continued. HAVERFORDWEST AMATEUR MUSICAL SOCIETY.—This Society, under the direction of Mr W. L. Harding, gave a concert at the Shire Hall on Monday evening. The attendance was very numerous, the Hall being filled in every part. The entertainment consisted of vocal and instrumental music, and was rendered to the entire satis- faction of the audience, who frequently testified their approbation by loud plaudits. The instrumental music was excellent, and was greatly applauded; and the vocal portion of the programme was given with the same gratifying result. The entertainment throughout was a great success, and considering that it was wholly sus- tained by amateurs, the skill displayed by the members of the Musical Society, and those who assisted them, was not only creditable to themselves but also to the town of Haverfordwest. The following is the programme rendered on the occasion PART 1. 1 Overture—'The Bronze Horse,'—Band. 2 Trio-, Come Fairies trip it on the grass,Mrs T. James, Mrs W. M. Phillips, and Mr 'V. Jenkins. 3 Song—' Beautiful Venice,'—Mr D. H. Brown. 4 Duet—' Where the warbling waters flow,'—Miss Jones and Miss Codd. 5 Song-' KatbJeen Mavourneen,Miss Jones. 6 Song—'The Thorn,'—Mr R. H.

Reynolds and Mr Harding. 6 Song—' The Wood Nymph's Call,'—Miss Reynolds. 7 Cliorus-I The Maypole.' God save the Queen.' A FLAW IN THE SANITARY ACT. Several events have tended of late to direct attention to the inertness of the nuisance authorities in various parts of the country, and no little discussion has taken place in reference to the power conferred on the Home Secretary by Clause 49 of the Sanitary Act to deal with negligent boards. Most persons believe that by the section in question the Home Secretary can compel local authorities to do what is necessary for tne health and comfort of the community, should they decline to take any steps voluntarily. There is some doubt of this. Last summer a memorial was addressed to the Secretary of State for the Home Department by Mr Woody, of Tamworth, requesting that an inquiry might be made into the sanitary condition of that place. Accordingly, on the 1st of August last, an inspection of the borough was made by Mr R. 'Morgan, C.E. This inspector recom- mended that the Town Council 'should take into their most serious consideration the immediate construction of works of sewerage and water supply, to abate the existing nuisances, and thereby lower the excessive rate of mor- tality.' But this body has resolved, in spite of the recommendation of government. that works of sewerage and water supply are not required within the borough. Their determination was made known to the government, with a request that the provisions of the act might be enforced. In the reply from the Local Government Act Office. dated October, 17, 1867, it is stated inter alia, that 'the Home Secretary feels that he has no power to compel local boards, or other governing bodies, to construct, sanitary works, not even upon the powers of the 49th section of the Sanitary Act of last year.' Mr J. B. Hutchinson, in his exposition of the Sanitary Act, which. has just been published, says, that by the 49th section, 'power is given to the Secretary of State on complaint, &c, to take the necessary s'eps for carrying out the provisions of the act, to make inquiry, &c, and it he is satisfied of the laches of the authority complained against, to make an order on such authority to perform its duty, and if such order be not obeyed, to appoint some one else to do the necessary work, and direct the amount of remuneration to be paid by the local authority in default, who, should it be necessary, may be proceeded against ;n the Queen's Bench.' This is the evident ren- dering of the Aft, but it would seem that the Home Secretary thinks otherwise. The point in dispute should be cleared up at once.

HAVERFORDWEST PETTY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Thursday, before the Mayor, J. W. Phillips, Esq, and James Bowen, Esquire. DRUNKENNESS. Charhtte Dawson was charged with drunkenness in the vicinity of the Shire Hall on Saturday, the 14th inst. The defendant was reported to be in cuslodio kgis, and consequently unable to attend. It was also stated that the detenoant did not object to the magistrates deciding the case during her absence. P.C. Simpson proved the offence, and the defendant Tfas fined os and costs. i the case during her absence. P.C. Simpson proved the offence, and the defendant was fined os and costs. i Francis Evans, Thomas Lewis, and John Thomas were fined 5s and costs for a similar offence. Thomas Simlett was charged with drunkenness and refusing to leave the Black Horse Inn. The defendant admitted the charge, and was fined 5s and costs. WILFUL DAMAGE. William Phillips was charged by George Llewellin, of North Gate, with wilful damage. Neither party appeared, and it was stated the com. plainant and defendant had arranged matters out of Court. The Mayor observed that the case could not be settled without the permission of the Bench. Supt. Cecil said that he had informed the complainant that the case could not be withdrawn without the consent of the Bench, and he had promised to attend. The case was postponed for a short time, and neither party appearing, it was struck out. The Mayor: I wish it to be understood that when parties settle charges out of Court, they must ask for and obtain permission of the Bench for that purpose. The Bench will not sanction the settlement of cases out of Court unless the parties come here to ask for permission to do so. You will be good enough, Mr Cecil, to inform Mr Llewellin of that.

PEMBROKE AND TENBY RAILWAY.—We are informed that the directors have let the contract to make the short narrow guage line at Carmarthen to Messrs Davies and Roberts, and that now there is no doubt of this railway being in direct communication with the other narrow guage systems of the kingdom by June next.

PEMBROKE. PEMBROKE PETTY SESSIONS. BOROUGH PEITY SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Town Hall, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 14tb, before H. P. Jones, (mayor), W. Hulm, J. R. Bryant, D.

Dockyard, Pembroke, for that he the said Thomas Noot on the 13th day of December last, at Pembroke Dock, in the borough aforesaid, did then and there feloniously, knowingly and unlawfully utter, dispose of and put off a certain false and forged writing, as, and for a copy of an entry in the Register of Baptism kept in the parish church of Slebech, in the county of Pembroke, in the year 1832, to wit the Baptism of Thomas, son of John and Martha Noot, he the said Thomas Noot then and there knowing such entry to be false contrary to the form of the statute, in such case made and provided against the peace of our said Lady the Queen her Crown and dignity. William Newby deposed I am a clerk in Her Majesty's Dockyard at Pembroke, and in the cashier's department. I have been there about fourteen years. I know the prisoner. He was employed in the Dockyard as a hired shipwright for a few months prior to December last. I distinguish a hired shipwright from an established one. In the month of December last he had the offer of being established. Such persons must not be over 35 years. The document produced marked C was handed to the prisoner to fill up. He returned it to me as it is, with the exception of the date 31st December, 1867. The order for his establishment is dated 6th December, 1867, and then he was furnished with the p^iper marked C, and was told to bring a certificate of his birth. He brought the paper C and also this paper purporting to be a cer- tificate of his baptism. On the 13th December, 1867, prisoner left the alleged copy certificate and the paper C with me, and I acted upon it in my capacity as clerk; at that time he was employed in the yard as a shipwright and continued in it until February last, when he was discharged upon his own application. Archibald McDonald deposed I am superintendent of the Metropolitan police, and doing duty at Her Majesty's Dockyard at Pembroke. I am the complainant in this case. I believe that I shall be able to produce evidence to show the document produced is false, and apply for a remand. Prisoner was remanded until Saturday the 21st March inst., at 11 o'clock in the forenoon. Prisoner admitted to bail, himself in £100, and two sureties in zC50 each. [Same day before H. P.

Alfred Dix said: I am agent to Mr Saurin, of Orielton. On Wednesday, 26th February last, I saw defendant take a stake out of a bank at Mill Bank and put it into a cart. I was in the wood and ran down, and when I overtook him I found in his possession three pieues. I asked him where he got them, and he said he picked them up in the nad. He took one piece off the cart and threw it away the pieces he took were parts of a post and rail fence. I have the piece I saw him take: this is the one. The value is 2d. Fined 5s. and 2d. value of rail, and 7s. costs or seven days' hard labour. Paid.

William Thomas, acting P.S. 31, deposed Last night week, 6th inst., I searched the house of Thomas Upton, by his permission, for stolen property, ac- companied by P.C. Davies. Whilst searching in the back premises in an old oven, I found the five boots pro- duced, and I asked him how he became possessed of them. He said first that his boy got them, then that a soldier brought them there, and he did not know who he was. I took possession of the boots. There was no more than two or three minutes between each answer, and I re- J ported the same to the military authorities. Wm. Galloway deposed I am Corporal in the 36th Regt. I was present on the 20th Nov. 1867, when the boots produced were issued to soldiers, one pair to Edmondson, one pair to Pitmens, and another pair to J ames Jones, private soldiers belonging to the 36th Regt.: they were part of their necessaries not out of date, and should be in their possession and not in Upton's. If for repairs he would have no right to their possession a person named McBean is employed purposely for repairs when not done in Barracks. Charles Winter deposed I am colour-sergt. of the 9th Regt. I have seen the boots produced, they are Military boots; the soldiers to whom they belong went out with the draft on or about the 5th inst.; the value of them now is 12s.; it is generally known when men are drafted a week or so before.

P.C. James Herbert deposed: On Sunday, 23rd of February last, at quarter past four in the afternoon, I visited the New Inn beer house, in Monkton, kept by George Morgans. I knocked at the door, and the son came and looked through a hole in the door, which was fastened after three or four minutes it was opened by defendant's wife, whilst I was at the door: through the the same bole I saw the son take the quart measure from a room and take it to the back premises. I saw him all the while. I asked Mrs Morgans bow she allowed drinking at that time of the day: she said nothing. I showed her where the quart was put by the son: there was a pint in it. There were two young men, Baker and another sailor in the room where the son took the quart from.. I asked her what made her son carry the quart out, and she said she did not order him; it was his foolishness. She asked me not to report her this time. The defendant was fined Xi, and 6s costs; in default of distress 14 days' hard labour. James Roberts, of the Mains, Monkton, was charged by the same, with being drunk and riotous in a certain highway, called Main-street, on the 3rd inst.

Thomas Phillips, acting-sergeant, deposed: On Sun- day morning, the 1st inst., at a quarter to twelve, I visited the Grapes public bouse, in Monkton, kept by defendant, and saw in the front room two men belonging to the Revenge, one marine, and two other men, one of whom lives in the same row as the Grapes. The table was fresh marked with jugs. I went into a back room used as a cellar, and there I saw one quart nearly full of beer, and an empty glass. I endeavoured to open the door to see if the beer was fresh, but failed, as a young man concealed himself behind the door. I showed the beer to the daughter. The landlord was in the kitchen- the same room as the men were. The daughter said in defendant's presence that she did draw that one quart of beer for the men, and that his brother was one who lives at the Black Horse, in the East End. Defendant and his daughter begged to be forgiven, and not reported. The sailors and marine lodged at the Black Horse in the East End the night before. There has been no coin- plaint against this house for the last five years. The landlord was then unwell. Fined 2s 6d and 6s costs.

He said be could not get one of his birth, but told me he had a certificate of his baptism. He left me then, and on the 13th of December he produced the paper 'C.' and the paper marked B' in red ink, as the certificate of his baptism, t then furnished him with the form marked 'D.' He told me he was born at Rhos, in the parish of Slebech, on the 12th of August, 1832. I filled those particulars in the declaration 'D,' for him. I then directed him to go the Superintendent's Office, and gave him the papers marked 'C.D.' and 'B.' in red ink. I know nothing further.

There is not an entry in the year 1832, of which the paper B purports to be a copy. I never saw t&& prisoner before to my knowledge. I gave a certificate of his baptism to a person whom I believe to be a cousin, I believe in November last. It was a copy of an entry o>n 31st August# 1828. The body of the certificate produced is in my wIfe S handwriting marked H, and is signed by me with my left hand, but is not the certificate which f gave to the prisoner's relation in November. It is like it in every respect. The name in the Register is spelt I Nute., The paper B in red ink I have seen before: it was sent down to me by the Civil Service Commissioners. I returned it to them by post. Cross-examined by Mr Hulm: I gave. two certificates —the first, written by myself, to a Mr Noot, a relative of the prisoner, in November. This paper.marked B in red ink, is not the one that I gave him. The second certifi- cate I sent by post to the Civil Service Commissioners. They applied to me for it.
