The ground was very wet, owing to the rain on the previous evening. At 3.15. Williams kicked oft for Aberdare, and the play soon seemed to be in favour cf the home team, the ball being well kept in tie visitors' territory. Shortly after play com- menced a try was secured for the Aberdariana, but Williams failed to convert it into goal, the ball being touched down too near the touch line. The play throughout was very fast and spirited, and when no time; was called, the match was decided in favour of the home team by one try, and com- pelling their opponents to touch down three times in self-defence to their compelling the home team to touch down twice in self-defence. Before uo time was called one of the visitors kicked the bill against one of their men, which rebounded, and one of the Cardiff men, off side, picked the ball up and ran with it from their own goal into their opponents.

COFFE TAVERN FOR CARDIFF. Tj the Editor of the SOUTH WALKS DAILT Ngws. SIR,-I venture, through your widely.:circula.ted paper, to suggest to onr leading aud well-to-do townsmen the desirability of establishing a coffee and cocoa company. In most large towns numbers of houses have been converted into quite com- fortable hotels for eupplying refreshments of this class, the bright coffee urn being substituted for the beer-engine. I notice the seaport town of Newcastle has six of these houses, and are doing a good business. I feel persuaded it is one of the greatest movements to induce all classes to willingly become temperate. —I am, kc., MAC'HA, 127, Bute Road, Cardiff, January 2nd, 1879,

WEST MIDLANDS IRON, COAL, AND HARDWARE TRADES. [SPECIAL aKPOBT FROM OUR OWN COBMCPONDJtNT.) BIRMINGHAM, Thursday. Concern was ex- pressed to-day by certain mill and forge proprie- tors at the action announced yesterday in Wol- verhampton, of Messrs Millington, of Tipton, in dropping their prices lOa per ton. It had been hoped that the quarterly meetings would pass over without a declared drop by any maker of high- class iron. Mr Millington 3 action has, however, disappointed previous calculation. the question now is as to what extent th: t maker a lead will be followed. Itjwas assumes by the best informed that each the acknowledged list" houses cannot afford wholly to disregard is. Buyers of marked iron are looking for a drop to a similar extent in most of the brands of that order. No encourage- ment that this would be so was, however, held out to-day by the representatives present of such firms. At this makers were not diaconcerted, for it tran- spired that Messrs Millington explain that they are enabled to offer the lower terms because of Concessions which they have oDained in pigs and in coal. "-Surely (it was urged) other makers of wrought-iron of a similar class are able to buy the raw materials they require on terms as favourable as those available to Messrs Millington. The market was weak throughoit, and the business in rolled iron confined to a few amalllots urgently needed at local at Government works. Pigs could not be got off. either by Staffordshire, or by Der- byshire, and Yorkshire, and Lancaslure firms, or their representatives. Yet negotiations were begun as to one and all these qualities, which ven- dors were to-day fain to hope will lead to business. Nor will that be altogether disap- pointed. Most consumers of raw iron, whether torge or foundry, ate wil bought, though few have heavy stocks on haul, for they decline to receive deliveries still sone are almost bare of pigs. At to one case it transpired to-day that a finished iron maker, of no inconsiderable position, had attack of just 28 tons. By not a few of his confreres he was envied, for he will be able to buy all round at less money thai they have purchased at. Forge coal was abuidant to-day, at 7s, statute weight; and furnac? coal was easy to get at Sa 6d. The South Staffcrdshire and East Wor- cestei shire colliery proprietors remain for the pre- sent quite at séa. as to the best practicable course to adopt to adapttht New Weiguts Act to the ancient customs of the district.

NtiWtTFROM IRELAND. GENERAL GRANT'S VISIT. Mr Henry Roe, the restorer of Christ Church Cathedral, in reply to an sddress aigned by over 120 persons of eminonce, cbrical and lay, asking him for an expression of opnion as to the removal of the screen in the chu ch, to which a large section of Irish Churchnim object, has given an answer that he differs in e\ery respect from those who address him. He speaks of the movement as an agitation calculated 1» disturb grieviously the peace and welfare of the Clhirch. Ceneral Grant is extffl to arrive in Dublin early this mornieg. He will bo accompanied by Mr Walsh, Ammican Mioiefcer to Great Britain and General oyes, Asserican Minister to France. He will only remain in Dublin for the day, but has promised to pay a flying visit to Belfast, Derry, and eerie.

(CARMARTHENSHIRE. These sessions were held at Llandilo on Thurs- day, Sir John Manse], Bart., presiding. There were also present—Viscount Emlyn, M.P.; Mr J. Jones, M.P.; Mr W. DuBuisson, Mr J, Bishop, of Merthyr Tydvil; Capt. Lloyd, Glan- sevin'; and Mr Lloyd; It. Goring Thomas, Llanan'; and Mr R. M. Mansel, Aberglasney. Before proceeding to business, the court, on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Viscount Emlyn. M.P., passed a vote of condolence to Her Majesty on the death of the Princess Alice. In compliance with a communication from the Home Secretary, the chief constable was directed to employ the police to carry out the Dog Tax Act. Another letter from Whitehall stated that the Government did not acknowledge liability to the court in respect of excess of accommodation in Carmarthen Gaol, when handed over to the Government. The Home Secretary argued that the claim could only be made hen cells existed in excess of probable future requirements, In order to avoid any controversy, he offered £480 iu discharge of all liability. A lengthy discussion followed, and the matter was adjouraed to the next court, when the committee who conferred with the Home Secretary would report. Another letter stated that the pension to the ex-governor of the gaol would be 2166 9s 84; to the ex-matron, k23 8s and the ex-chaplain, 1:27 IOS.-Viscouiit Emlyn moved the court to enquire of the Home Secretary for reasons why the pension was granted to the ex-chaplaiu. It was not compulsory retire- ment on the Rev. Aaron Roberts's part, neither a had he served 20 years. He had voluntarily retired, and accepted the living of Lianzadock. The motion was agreed to.-A report of the com- mittee to revise the standing orders of the court v as taken as read, and adopted. The new rules wcreordered t.obe printed and distributed; an appendix to be added to them containing a list of county bridges, county valuation, aud table of fines and iees. The treasurer's report was received, and a county rate of tel ordered. No police rate was required. The bridge slJrveyorreported that certain repairs were required for Rhydymarch, Conrthenry, and Tywaun bridges. A drain is re- quired across the road within 100 yards of Pontar- dulais bridge, towards which the narish authorities had promised half the cost. The coutragt.-for- widening Trevaughan bridge had been let^md the work would be proceeded with as soon as the weather suited. Sundry repairs were also re- quired to Newcastle Emlyn lock-up. The report was adopted. fifcThe Lunacy Committee reported that the Home Secretary had over-ruled the objections of the Cardiganshire Quarter Sessions to additions to Joint Counties Asylum, and ordered that the work be proceeded with. The Chief Constable reported that during the past quarter 721 persons had been apprehended and summoned, 129 of whom were for vagrancy. The number apprehended and summoned in cor- responding quarter of 1877 was 800. A lock-up- house and magistrates' room was greatly re- quired for St. Clears. The present magistrates' meetings being held in a public-house. The St. Clear's uagistrates were asked to consult as to the erection of a lock-up in the magistrates' room there. The Llanelly magistrates were asked to confer as to the advisability of the court joining Glamorganshire, to erect lock-up house at Pontardulaif, and to insert weights aud measures. It was ordered that St. Clear's inspector's stan- dard weights (which are defective) be corrected. The Lunacy and Finance Committee were reap- pointed, and Messrs W. F. D. Saunders, G. G.

METEOROLOGICAL Ofrica, Jan. 2nd, 8 a.m. Weather has changed v;ith great suddenr.ess. It ia at present ery line over the greater part of Ireland and England, but snow and hail prevail in many parts of Scotland an i tlie West of Nor- way, as well as at Stockholm and Brussels. Large quantities of snow and rain have fallen at the southern stations, more than an inch being re- ported from Oxford. Hiir.^t C.stle, London, and Brussels and O'JÏn. at Cape Gris- nez. Lunar halos were seen at many of our northern stations last evening. Temperature has again fallen fast, and frost pre- vails over nearly the whole of our islands. The lowest of the minimum readings reported are 24 to 26 (legs, in the east of Scotland, 24 deg. at Not- tingham, 25 deg. at Cambridge, and 27 deg. at Oxford. In London the thermometer stood at 31 deg. shortly before 8 a.m. Wind is nearly calm on our south-west coasts, and light W. in the N.W. Elsewhere it is chiefly N.W. to W., and blows a gale from the former quarter in Scandinavia and Denmark, and from the latter quarter at Cape Gris Nez. A stiff E. to N.E. gale w; s felt over the S. of England last night. oea is still rather rcitigli on our south-westeru and western coasts and is high in the Bay of Biscay. JAL1031ETILICAL Ix.MCA-i.MNS.—The barometer is higher throughout our Islands, but lower in Sweden than it was at 8 a.m. yeterday.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENTS AND EXCLUSIVE SOURCES.] SOUTH WALES COAL AND IRON SHIPMENTS. [SPECIAL REPORT BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CARDIFF, Thursday Night.—There is very little of interest to be said of this coal market at the moment. A general inactivity prevails in all directions, as is usual at the close of the year. Probably another week or two will elapse before there is any appreciable revival in the demand for shipments to ioreign coaling stations. The weather has been very unfavourable to shipping, and several disasters are reported, but the prevail- ing direction of the boisterous wind has been nouth and west, so that the arrivals of vessels at this port during the week have been tolerably numerous, and given our shippers a fair amount of occupation. Tne tonnage arrived, however, seems to be anything but impartially distributed amongst them, for whilst so tie have even experi- enced difficulty in getting through all their load- ing without incurring demurrage, others have had little or nothing to do. The inactivity of the demand for coal prevail- ing just now affects the freight market to a con- siderable extent, as might be expected, and rates are generally weaker and lower in all directions than they were a fortnight ago. There is no pressing demand anywhere, and, consequently, little chartering doing. The supply of tonnage in the freight market, both sail and steam, is slightly in excess of the actual requirements of the moment. The imports of Spanish iron ore have amounted to about 6,000 tons during the week. The recent improvement in the price of tin plates is main- tained, but Fellers of pig iron are indisposed to do business except at au advance. The pitwood market is unchanged, the imports for the week amounting to about 4,000 tons. The entries outwards of vessels to load in Car- diff, during the week, comprise 44 steamers of the estimated burthen of 48,275 tons, and 47 sail- ing vessels, calculated to carry 22,882 vIDS, making a total ot 71,157 tons, against 74,945 too of last week. The fresh supply of tonnage amounts in Swansea for the week to 19,969 tons, and in Newport to 19,216 tons. Cardiff has cleared foreign during the week, 40 steamers and 41 sailing vessels, with 48,279 tons of coal, 539 tons of iron, and 30 tons of patent fuel. Of the iron, 435 tons went to Salonica, and 104 tons to Portugal. Toe coal and fuel shipments were as follows :—France, 17,596 tons Mediterranean ports. 11,379 tons Spain, 6,390 tons West Indies, 5,266 tons; East Indies, 2,093 tons Baltic, etc., 2,000 tons; Eastern Mediterranean ports, 1,870 tons; Africa, etc., 1,215 tons and Portugal, bOO tons. Swansea has despatched foreign during the same period 12 steamers and 17 sailing vessels with 8,950 tons of coal, and 830 tons of patent fuel, as follows :—France, 6,550 tons Africa, &c., 1,720 tons; Mediterranean ports, 770 tons and South America, 740 tons. There has been no iron cleared here during this week. Newport has cleared foreign during the week 8 steamers and 10 sailing vessels with 9,931 tons of coal, and 731 tons of iron, which went to Bilbao. The coal shipments were as follows :— Mediterranean ports, 4,111 tons; France, 2.105 tons Spain. 1,640 tons Eastern Mediterranean ports, 1,250 tons South America, 420 tons; and West Indies 405 tons.

NORTH OF ENGLAND IRON AND COAL TRADES. • [SPECIAL RKPORT FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] MIDDLKSBOROUGH, Thursday.— The iron trade has this week been dull. The makers' general quotation for pig metal is maintained at about, No. 1, 38s 6d No. 3, 353 No. 4 forge, 34s to 34s 6d, lesa one per cent commission. There are makera, however, who really accept less money, as where they are pressed for cash terms are not allowed to stand in the way, and merchants state that they can buy at 3d to 6d per ton less, and probablv even easier terms are secured in isolated cases. T ie prices now obtained in Cleveland, and those which rule in Scotland tend to place the former in a better position as regards the competition with the Scotch makers. The deliveries of Cleveland iron for Scotch consumption, during the year 1877, were about 300,000 tons. This year they will be about 12,000, or 14,000 tons less. The foreign deliveries have been for the year about 335,000 tons, and those for coastwise ports, other than Wales, about 60,000 tons. The principality is credited with about 58,000 tons. These figures are ap- proximate. For all practical purposes, however, the? are correct. The make will be rather over two millions and twenty thousand tons—about 100,000 tons less than in 1877. As stocks in- creased much more largely, however, in 1877 than in 1878, there will be about as much iron sold all in 1877, and over two millions of tons will have absolutely gone into consumption for the year. There is, however, the fact that the class of iron has to some extent changed. as less purely Cleveland metal has been produced in 1878 than in previous years, while more is to be placed under the head of speigeleisan and hematite, produced from Spanish and other ores. Of these higher class metals nearly 340,000 tons will have been turned out during the year, the remaining portion of the total having to be placed under the head of Cleve- land pig. Pig- metal, which was quoted 12 months ago at 41s, No. 3, is now at least 6s below that price. Half that amount has been lost by the de- cline which has taken place within the last three months. One very interesting feature of the North of England iron trade, and one, too, which is satis- factory, is the increased production of finished iron duriug the year, by nearly 50,000 tons, under the head of angles, bars, and plates, as shown by the returns made to the board of arbitration. The increase has been chiefly in plates, as mills have added on a. new and improved principle for turning out this class of work. The ironworkers point to this fact as being indicative, if not of some revival, at least of much lew depression in trade than is generally presumed to exist. For the last quarter the output of iron rails was only about 2 per cent. of the manufactured iron of the North'of England—a fact at once illustrative of what steel has done in superseding the iron rail trade, as some five or six years ago the make of iron rails was about 54 per cent. of the whole manufacture of the district. The prices of manufactured iron are about—for plates, JB5 12s 6d; common bars, £5 2s 6d to B5 5s; angles, JE5 5s; boiler plates, £6 15s; gll less Zl per cent. The coal trade of Durham and Northumber- land is in rather a stagnant condition, except at the household Dits, and they are not so actively employed now that milder weather has set in, as the requirements for shipment are less. The steam coal trade is in an irregular condition. Some of the collieries where there are ships wanting coals, in addition to regular contractors, are wdl em- ployed, but the low prices are the great drawback of the trade. About 9s to 9s 3d apjiears to be the rates at which some of the beat coals are sold at. One of Bolckow, Vaughan, and Co.'s collieries, Di educing 1,000 tons of coke per weak, is about to be closed, near Bishop Auckland.

ROATH STRKTS. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS. SIR, -1 am glad to find that my neighbour Adaiusdown Foot Bridge, has spoken out at last, and, in my opinion, in a practical manner which I fully endorse. No one can deny the dis- graceful state of the road, whether the cause is as assigned by my neighbour or not I cannot say, but I unnesitatinely say that blame rests some- where. If the Corporation's hands are clean, under the cloak of their hands being too full, I ask why go on continuously with re-modelling old streets such as Great Frederick-street and Union- streets, and that at the expense of the ratepayers? Those streets could stand over very well for a time; many streets in Roath are almost impassa- ble, and the whole expense of putting those streets r in order would have to be borne by the owners of houses abutting those streets. My eyes are con- tinually running over with water lamenting over the disgraceful sanitary state of the neighbourhood that I am located in.—I am, &c., JEREMIAH BOX.

HONOUR TO WHOM HONOUR IS DUE— THE POLICE. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS' SIR,—I read your notice of Sergeant King with pleasure. I can bear witness to his shrewdness and activity for some years. I knew him when he ,A as stationed at Roath. and since that time at Canton and Lland iff. We are ready to find fault with the guardians of the peace when we think they do not do their duty, and when they are too officious, and my object in thus troubling you is to suggest, that as Sergeant King is about to leave this district, a testimonial of some kind may be given him in recognition of his services to the town during the many years he lias, I believe, faith- fully endeavoured to discharge his duties.— I am, &c., T. WEBBER. Roath, January 2, 1879.

THE CARDIFF GUARDIANS. To the Editor of the SOUTH WALE3 DAILY NEWS. SIR,-At the last meeting of the board of guardians, Mr Jacobs, with the object of inducing the Board to accept a resolution proposed by him- self, stated (and it was so reported in one of the local daily papers on Monday) that in the case of the relieving oiiicer in default of a few pouuds which did not come out of their pockets, there had been a suspension. As a member of the committee appointed to inquire into the irregularities of the officer in question, I unhesitatingly affirm that the state- ment Mr Jacobs then made was utterly incorrect. The relieving officer was not suspended for default of a few pounds. The inquiry elicited the fact that upwards cf £ 50 wa emU-iileu by fraudulent alterations, tampering with the relief books, and forgery. A warrant for his apprehension w&3 ap- plied for, and issued, but the relieving officer I' had absconded to evade justice. These facts were well-known, and I think it is only due to the j board that Mr Jacobs should at the next meeting offer an explanation.-I am. &c., A GUARDIAN. Cardiff, January 2nd, 1879. To the Editor of the SOCTH WALES DULI NEWI. SIR,-I have read with interest and attention the letters in your columns and these of your con- temporary respecting the death ot the poor man, Mercy, but I am astonished to find that not one correspondent seeks to defend Dr Mihvard. How is this ? There is fun enough, and as many red herrings trailed over the path of discussion as would keep a company of Philadelphian lawyers busy but not one word in favour of Mr Mil. ward. Has it really come to this ? Are his friends struck dumb by the helplessness of the caM ? I Where is Mr Paine? Where even is the consoli- dated-order-orator—Dr Paiue-dumb-abut up— speechless. I,for one, don't want misleading issues, as to who wrote or did not write two well-known lines—lines accurately applied by Mr Stone—for did not Mr Milward order Mercy to be taken to the workhouse, with death threatening the p')or man, and winter bitter and bihng- Rattle Mercy's poor tones over the stone?, He was only a pauper whom nobody owns. I beg pardon—Mr Ellis owned him. But now he's gone to a world where there may be doctors, but let me hope.fnot consolidated orders. Might I ask Mr Milward'a friends to cease funning, and let us have some justifiable FACT.

GLAMORGAN. 6ERIOCS CHARGE AGAINST A MARINE STORE DEALLK AT SWANSEA. John Winter, a marina store dealer, carrying on business at Swansea, was indicted for stealing a quantity of copper, the property of John Michael Williams, at Swansea, on the 5th November last. He was a.)" ehawel with receiving the copper, knowing it to have beE- lur r>. Williams and Mr Bowen Rowlands defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the evening of the 5th November, David Jones, an inspector of the borough police at Swansea, was on duty near PocketL's Wharf, Swansea. lIe saw the prisoner driving a waggon, drawu by one horse, iu the direction from the Morva Copper Works to Pockett's Wharf. He saw the prisoner assist, when at the wharf, iu removing a cask from the waggon, and after placing it under a craue, it was placed on board the Henry Sutherland, a steamer pl) izig between Swansea and Bristol. Having some suspicion, the inspector asked the prisoner what was in the cask, and lie replied glass. There was no address on the ca«k, uut the prisoner, in reply to questions from the inspector, said that it was consigned to Messrs L. Martin and Co, marine store dealers, Bristol. As it was somewhat late at night, the suspicions of the police were aroused, and he then went to Mr Davies, the foreman of the Morva Works, and ascertained from him that some copper had been stolen from the works. The police then telegraphed to the police at Bristol, who went to Cumberland Basin, and on the arrival of Henry Sutherland boarded her. The wife of the prisoner went on board and claimed the cask, although it was not addressed to anyone. The police inspector at Swansea had put a mark on the cask, and when the wife of the prisoner took possession of the cask, they took it from her. Acting on the advice of Mr Davies, of Morfa Works, they broke open the cask, and found it to contain copper. The police inspector of Swansea, accompanied by Mr Davies, went to Bristol on the 8th, and Mr Davies identified the copper as having been taken from the works. The cask and its contents weighed 8cwt 3qrs 51bs, and was valued at about £30. They returned to Swansea, where the prisoner was apprehended. When before the magistrates, he stated that on the 4th November a gentleman called at his stores, and asked him to convey a cask of glass to Pockett's Wharf. The cask was sent down on the 5tb, and he conveyed it to Pockett's Wharf at night. He knew the gentleman by sight, but did not know his name. He put the cask in the steamboat, and had no further knowledge respecting it, A num- ber of witnesses were now called, and among them Mr Davies, the foreman at the Morfa Works, who identified the copper by marks upon it, caused by defects iu the rolling mill, %vhich left certain marks upon the metal. He also stated that copper in the condition found in the cask was never sold, and could not have been sold to the prisoner. The manager at Pockett's Wharf was called, and proved that no regular consignment of the cask had been made by the prisoner. It was also proved that there was no such firm as Martin and Co., marine store dealers, Bristol, aud it was like- wise proved that the II ife of the prisoner went on board the steamer and demanded the cask on its arrival at Bristol. Mr Rowlands urged, for the defence, that the prisoner had told a consistent story throughout, and that in reality a man whom he did not know by name called on him and asked him to take the cask to Pockett's Wharf. He did so, and made no concealment of the transaction. The jury found the prisoner guilty of receiving the copper knowing it to have been stolen, and he was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. FALSE PRETENCES AT NEATH. Evan Jones was indicted for obtaining by cer- tain false pretences the sum of PS from William Usher and Michael Lazarus Marks, with intent to cheat and defraud, at Neath, on the 23rd October, and also on the 30th October obtaining from the same parties, by false pretences, the sum of 921 10s, also with intent to cheat and defraud. Mr Benson prosecuted, and Mr Bowen Rowlands defended the prisoner. The prisoner is a farmsr, residing at a farm called Blaenant, near Ystrad- gynlais, and the prosecutors carry on business as money-lenders at Picton-place, Swansea, and also at Neath. The prisoner wanted to raise some money, and went to the Swansea office of the prosecutors, and represented that he lived at a farm near Ystradgunlais, and that his name was Wm. Lewis, and the name of the farm Blaenant- mewrig. He had horses, cattle, sheep, and hay. He wanted to borrow 220 to buy a cow that he seen, but eventually the sum of 28 or £7 17s 6d was advanced to him on a bill of sale, which inclu- ded the horses, cattle, several ricks of hay, and all the household furniture, the payments to be made by instalments of 30s monthly, which would repay the sum borrowed in eight months. Subse- quently he wanted a further advance, and he then saw Mr Usher, who went with the prisoner to his farm, and on the way prisoner pointed to some sheep on the mountain as belonging to him, several horse3 grazing in a field, and ricks of hay near the farm. Mr Usher went to the farm, saw the household furniture, and on the follcjving market day at Swansea paid V.1 10s for two cows for the prisoner, when a second bill of sale was drawn up. The bills of sale were signed William Lewis, Blaenantmewrig. Had the prolo- cutors known that the name of the prisoner was Evan Lewis, they would have known that he had dealings with Mr Barnett, and would not have lent him the mcney. Mr Barnett had a previous bill of sale on the prisoner's goods, and subse- quently sold the goods under the powers of the bill of sale. The prisoner agreed to repay Messrs Usher and Marks for the PS and C21 10s the sum of £41 10a, in instalments of 24 10s, to be paid every four weeks. It was afterwards found that neither the horses, sheep, pigs, nor the ricks of llay were the property of the prisoner when he said they were, and also that the bill of sale, accepted by Mr Barnett, signed Evan Leyshon Lewis, was his. The prisoner when apprehended at Neath said he knew all about it, but had no intention of fraud. The defence, as set forth by Mr Bowen Row- lands,'was that the &Ueged change of name would not have operated in connection with the case, had not a case been striven to have been made out. There was really no incumbrance on the estate of defendant. As to the rent which the defendant was alleged not to be able to pay, lie contended that the rent was not due [for some time after these proceedings were taken. The other allegation against defendant was that the bill of sale was made out under fraudulent repre- sentations by defendant, in that he was not possessed of property, and had used a false name. The learned counsel contended that defendant was possessed of sufficient property to satisfy the Shylockian greediness of even Jew money-lenders, and that the real cause of dissatisfaction was that the effects did not come up to their expectations. Purity of justice had been talked of by the counsel for the prosecution, but they must remember that this cry of purity of justice was raised by men who charged 100 per cent for money advanced- 80 per cent w as charged in this instance—and gave the period of five days as grace for a double payment. The defendant, he contended, had no fraudulent intentions, and the whole of the pro- ceedings were instituted and trumped up by the prosecutors in consequence of their findmg that the goods had been levied upon. The jury, after retiring, found they could not agree upon a verdict. They were accordingly discharged, and defendant was liberated on his own recognisances of 21p, to appear again when called upon. This concluded the business of the sessions.

MONMOUTHSHIRE. {Before Mr GRANVILLE SOMERSET, Q.C., deputy. chairman, Mr RALPH, Lord RAGLAN, Mr LISTER, COJ. MAODONXILL). THE CAHK OF SHEEP STEALING AT ST. WOOLLOS. Henry Worden (36), labourer, was indicted for sheep stealing, on the 6th ult. Mr Lawrence prosecuted, The evidence showed that on the morning of the day named, prisoner was seen on the road to Newport, by P.C, Thomas, carrying part of the mangled remains of a sheep, which proved to be the property of Mr W. Tubervill, of Pont Ebbw. He told the police officer that the sheep had been killed on the rait ay, and that the carcase had been given him by a packer. This story proved untrue, and the jury found the prisoner guilty. He was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment. The whole of t » criminal business of the ses- sions was concludt/d on Wednesday.
