Durin- ;ral days at the latter end of list k, Mr Able Thomas. M.P., the .1 brother to the Missis u. ixor, £ i*^gi>arcl, and < ".I" T K Thomas, hale- horned h's fame a lawyer in an luminary srory of a vanished fortune 01 ,00 left to a Mr Nixon Gray, of Cardiff, a sixth share of his father's share of the te of the late Mr Nixon, of Nixon's Navi- on Company. It was a claim by the ntiff Gray of some £ -50,000 in respect to ,ain property transactions with Mr Thomas iiel John, the well-known owner of horses an exhibitor of the various shows, and prietor of the Alexandra and other Hotels Cardiff. Plaintiff also claimed damages a Mr H M liees, a solicitor of Cardiff, in iect to the same transactions. Mr Thomas ed the whole of the innumerable tran- tiona during the nine mouths during which vas stated the plaintiff was somehow rid of whole of his money and left penniless. j hearing occupied two whole days in idon and on Saturday last terms were inged whereby John agreed to concede to iy the sum of t6,000 and to pay costs of action, all imputations to be withdrawn. 3 astute way in which Mr Thomas handled case won general admiration, and is a jute to the skill of a Pembrokeshire man. Jechryd bridge, which connects the coun- i of Pembrokeshire and Cardiganshire, is small to allow the fioods to pass beneath, I re-building the same is uader consider- )n by the Public Works Committee of the anty Council. There is another at the bot- i of Windy Hall hill that requires atten- a, but that is only the link which joins odwick and Fishguard, and some mutton- ids would fain see that ugly little pass do < ancient Jericho feat of falling down. The ;valent noises are quite ample, at times, bring down any wall. Ddolwen bridge near the Ddolwen factory 11 holds its place on the agenda at Haver- dwest for regular discussion. Mr J.

Decrease in Pauperism.—In his report at 'd Haverfordwest Board of Guardians last |rek Mr Bircham, the Inspector, in giving a ■caparison of the statistics, said that during 'e past ten years there had been a very 'ght increase in the population in the Haver- ,?dwest Union, and that had been chiefly in e Urban Districts, whilst in the agricultur- parishes there had been a decrease. The teable value had increased 21 per cent, the '>pulation 2 per cent, and the pauperism had creased from 4 8 ten years ago to 3*5, equal a decrease of 27 per cent. There bad also en a considerable reduction in the amount expenditure, which he thought was very tisfactory in view of the improvements they d made in the Workhouse, &c., the adoption a more expensive dietary table, &c. The spector quoted a number of statistics show- ;g the Haverfordwest Union occupied a very jrourable position, and said he thought the uardians who had retired had done good )rk. If their successors could do as well- d he did not see why they should not, the penditure would be still further decreased. 3 pointed out that their reduction of expen- 'ture had not been brought about at the ex- mse of putting any hardship upon individuals d especially referred to the advisability of ving adequate relief to widows and children, .pecially in cases were the woman was not le bodied.

The Gorsedd site 1S universally voted ideal, being in the syl- 'tn shades of the great oaks of Duffryn 'oods.
