MILFORD URBAN COUNCIL.
MILFORD URBAN COUNCIL. ANNUAL MEETING. CONTEST FOR THE CHAIR. MR. WALKLEY ELECTED. The amnual meeting of the Milford Haven Council was held on Friday night, when there were present Dr. Davies (retiring chairman), Dr. George Griffith, Col. W. R. Roberts, Messrs C. T. Blethyn, John Bees, George Cole, G. S. Kelway, W. Hire, J. LI. Davies, T. G. Hancock, J. Whicher, Ll. J. Meyler, A. J. Tilbrook, W. Causey Whittow. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. The first business was the election of chairman. Voting took place by ballot, with the result that Mr J. Walkley secured 10 votes and Mr T. G. Hancock 4 votes. Col. Roberts then moved that Mr Walkley be elected chairman for the ensuing 12 months. It was due to a rule, an excellent rule, made at the inception of that Council, a rule, by the way which might be followed by other public bodies in the county with advantage, that that there was a change in the chair every year. The result was that of the members of the Council, no less than eleven had filled the chair. Most of them had to wait sometime-he himself had to wait seven years- before attaining to that position. Proceeding, Col. Roberts said that Mr Walkley was the second chairman, of the Council, an office to which he was appointed 1G years ago, and those who were there at the time would remember how efficiently he discharged his duties. Dr. Griffith seconded, and said they were all aware of what Mr Walkley had done for the town as a public man. He regretted that Mr Walkley was absent that evening owing to a slight indisposition. Mr Walkley, he was quite sure, would fill the chair with the same dignity and the same impartiality which he displayed when he pre- sided on a previous occasion. The resolution on being put to the meeting as a substantive resolution, was carried unanimously. Dr. Griffith proposed that Dr. Davies be elected to the vice-chair. The ex-chairman, he said, had very faithfully discharged the duties incumbeut on him during the past 12 months, and these services were very highly valued by his colleagues. Mr C. T. Blethyn seconded, remarking that Dr. Davies had been so regular in attendance that no duties fell to him (Mr Blethyn) as vice-chairman. The resolution was agreed to. VOTES OF THANKS. Col. Robert proposed a vote of thanks to the ex- Chairman for the way in which he had discharged his duties during the past 12 months. The year just passed had been not an uneventful one. The Victoria Bridge had been freed for foot passengers, the town had been provided with an up-to-date fire engine, with an additional gas holder, and a handsome and commodious Sailors' Rest had been opened chiefly for the benefit of the sea-faring population of the town. All those had involved aivic duties which had been most admirably carried out by Dr. Davies. It was the ex-Chairman who also headed a deputation to the G.W.R. Co which resulted in obtaining some of the additional facilities which for years past they had been endeavouring to secure. Not only had Dr. Davies taken an interest in those matters he had conducted the proceedings of the Council at all times with great efficiency and with marked consideration and courtesy. The resolution was seconded by Dr. Griffith, who remarked that it was quite unnecessary for him to add anything to what had been so well said by Col. Roberts. Mr Kelway also cordially supported the vote of thanks, and it was carried unanimously. Returning thanks, the Chairman said he had always endeavoured to exclude anything of a personal nature, his one object being to maintain in all their integrity the traditions of the chair. He had tried to act in an unbiased manner, and to do everything he could for Milford Haven, a town of which they were all proud. The improvements referred to by Col. Roberts had entailed some expenditure, but on the whole he thought they would agree that it had been a progressive year. Mr J. Rees: I rise with very great pleasure to propose a hearty vote of thanks to the vice-chairman. I don't think we could have had a man more suitable for the office if we had searched throughout Pembrokeshire. Mr George Cole seconded. Mr Blethyn returned thanks. He said that if ever it fell to his lot to occupy the vice-chair again he should endeavour to do, as in the past, his best for the ratepayers of the town. Mr Blethyn was elected deputy-chairman for the even- ing. APPOINTMENT OF SELECTION COMMITTEE. The next business was to appoint a selection committee, and it was decided that the committee should consist of three members of the Council, with the chairman and vice-chairman. Mr J. Rees I don't see why the same gentlemen should be on the selection committee year after year. I think it should go round. Dr. Griffith supported Mr Rees. On the motion of Mr Cole, it was decided to follow the usual custom, and appoint the selection committee by ballot. Mr Rees I don't want any of yon to ballot for me. The ballot resulted as follows :-J. Whicher, 8 G. S. Kelway, 6 Col. Roberts, 0 W. Hire, 5 G. Cole, 5 J. Ll. Davies, 3; J. Rees, 3: T. G. Hancock, 2; Dr. Griffith 2. Msssrs. J. Whicher, G. S. Kelway and Col. Roberts, with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, were then appointed the selection committee. The following committpes were afterwards ap I' te The following committees were afterwards appointed: Gas and NVater.-N,lr Walkley, Dr. Griffith, Messrs Kelway, Whicher, Cole, Hancock and Blethyn. Law and Pariiamentary.-Mr Walkley, Col. Roberts, Dr. Griffith, Messrs Whicher, J. Ll. Davies, and W. Hire. Sanitary.-Mr Walkley, Dr. Davies, Messrs Rees, J. Ll. Davie?, Blethyn, Whittow and Tillbrook. Highways, &c.—Mr Walkley, Dr. Davies, Col. Roberts, Messrs Kelway, Whicher, Hire, Meyler. Fiuance and Assessment.—Mr Walkley, Messrs J. LI. Davies, George Cole, T. G. Hancock, Whittow, Tilbrook and Meyler. GAS AND WATER MAINS. On the recommendation of the gas and water com- mittee, it was decided that gas and water mains be laid in George Street at an estimated cost of £ 20. NEW BUILDINGS. The highways committee recommend (a) That a guard fence be fixed the pavement aide of the Hamilton Terrace improvements, i.e. from Barlow Street to Landing Slip Road, at an estimated cost of E20. (b) That 2 citex fire extinguishers be obtained for the office premises, cost £ 5 15s. The Committee reported having approved of the following plans, and recommend the same to the Council for l approval, 3 houses proposed to be built by Mr G. S. Kel way in Point Street. 4 houses proposed to be built by Mr G. M. Lewis in Shakespeare Avenue. Stores proposed to be built by Western Counties Agricultural Association, Ltd., near Bridge Hotel, Hakin. Col. W. R. Roberts moved the adoption of the report, and pointed out that the railings recommended for Hamilton Terrace were meant to prevent people walking on the grass. The fire extinguisher, he added, was a necessity as a protection for the valuable books and documents belonging to the Council- Mr J. Rees desired to know when the Hamilton Terrace improvements were likely to be completed. He thought that X20 could be speut in other parts of the town to better advantage. Mr George Cole was of a similar opinion, and proposed the deletiou of the clause. This was seconded by Mr Hire, who explained that as a member of the highways committee he objected to the proposed expense sometime ago. He was still of the same opinion. Mr Cole's amendment was carried. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. I A letter was read from Mr C. T. Blethyn acknowledg- I ing the Council's letter of sympathy with him in his I bereavement. CEMETERY COMMITTEE. I The cemetery committee was constituted as follows: I Mr Walkley, Col. Roberts, Messrs Rees, Cole, Blethyn, Whittow and Tilbrook. I

Dungleddy Sessions. I These sessions were held at the sessions room I Ciarbeston Road, on Friday morning before Mr R. P. L. I Pecn (in the chair), Mr Victor Higgon, and Col. O. H. S. Williams. DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. John James, of Rhosygweider, was summoned for having been drunk and disorderly on March 22nd. P.C. Morris, Maenclochog, was the officer concerned, and deposed that ha saw the defendant at 8.15 on the date in question. He was on the highway, and was making use of very profane language. Witness spoke to him and defendant, who was under the influence of drink, continued his bad conduct, but after a while went away in the direction of his home. Defendant, who had been previously convicted, was now fined 5s and costs. STRAYS. I Alfred Williams, Twmpath, wss summoned at the instance of P.C. Morris, for allowing one cow and one calf to stray on the highway. P.C. Morris said that at 12 noon on the 12th March he found one now and one calf straying on the highway, in the parish of New Moat. The animals were claimed as defendant's property by his wife. A letter expressing regret and stating that he was very poor and had two children deformed was received from the defendant. A fine of Gel and costs each animal was imposed. XO NAME. S. T. Jones, Highmead, Portfield Gate, was summoned for allowing a waggon to be driven without name thereon. P.C. Bennett, Clarbeston Road, said that at about mid-day on the 12th of April he saw William Rees driving a waggon, the property of S. T. Jones, Highmead, on the highway at Clarbesten Road without a name attached. D.C.C. James mentioned that Mr Jones had called upon him that morning and said that the plate had been painted over, and that he was quite unaware of it. Fined 2s Gd and corts. FURIOUS RIDING. Arthur Thomas, Little Newcastle, was summoned for iuriously riding a horse atSpittal Cross, on March loth. Thomas Vaughan, Spittal Cross, proved the charge and said that he saw defendant opposite his house at 5.30 on the date in question. Witness was at the time driving cattle from his farm yard to a neighbouring field. The cattle, which included eight cows and one bull, were being driven into the field when witness saw defendant approach. He beckoned to him to stop, but defendant took no notice and kept on beating his horse and rode on furiously, driving the cattle before him. Witness added that the rate defendant was going was dangerous to anyone who might have been on the roadway. Asked whether defendant was under the influence of drink witness replied that he could not have been very drunk or he would not have been able to keep on beating his horse and ride at such a rate, but he dare say he had had some drink. He was more mad than drunk. Witness added that,the cows had been driven on the road for about a mile and when he went after them, the bull took bad and eventually died. A tine of 10s and costs was impose 1. REFUSED TO STOP WHEN REQUESTED. 1 Thomas Griffiths, Swmbach, Letterston, was fined 98 Gd inclusive for riding a bicycle without a light. P.C. Lewis, Spittal, said he met defendant on the Fishguard Road at S p.m. on the 22nd March. He was cycling without a light and refused to stop when requested. 6 SCARING WOOD PIGEONS.

I Benjamin Jenkins, Ciarbeston Road, was charged with disobeying a it" Z4 -nee order, the arrears and ,U of which amounted to 14 128 Od. Defendant appeared aud Mtid he had beeu uuable to I pay any of the money as he had been unable to do any work. He added that he had been staying with friends. The complainant, Annie Jenkins, slid he bad been working at Mountjoy where he was slaying. Drfftudant admitted doing a Jiitle wo;k hut said he had no pay for it. He produced the Doctor's certificate which certified his being unable to work, but he added that the Doctor said he could do a little. Complainant: If he is able to sing on the roads and attend public houses, he must be able to work. Defendant (to complainant) I think you are a better customer at the public house than I. Complainant I only go after some drink for my father, who is 83 years of age. She added that she was living with her father. Defendant said he would endeavour to pay but he couldn't until he was able to work. The magistrates decided to adjourn the case for 2 months when defendant must pay the money or bring the doctor to state that he is unable to work, otherwise 1he would have to go to prison.
i PEMBROKESHIRE FAILURES.
PEMBROKESHIRE FAILURES. COMMISSON AGENT'S STATEMENTS. ADMITTED FALSE DECLARATION. AMBLESTON MANUFACTURER'S MISFORTUNES. The Pembrokeshire bankruptcy court was held at Pembroke Dock on Friday before Mr Bryant, deputy registrar. i I- UNSATISFACTORY. At the outset the official receiver (Mr Thomas) referred to the case of Thomas H. Farrow, carrying on business at Narberth as Farrow & Sons, which had been adjourned for the purpose of making inquiries with regard to the debtor's previous experience at Monmouth. The Receiver now said he had been unable to ascertain anything of a satisfactory nature. Apparently debtor deserted his business at Monmouth and came down to Narberth, where after three years in business, he had run up a deficiency of £ 413, which he was unable to account for satisfactorily. It was only fair to creditors generally that he (the Receiver) should apply for the examination to be adjoured sine die. The debtor had had two starts in life, and now owed creditors a considerable sum of money. The Registrar intimated that under the circumstances the examination would be adjourned sine die. FATHER AND SON'S BANKRUPTCY. Thomas Thomas, Lamphey Park, and John Henry Thomas, Johnston, father and son, came up for their adjourned examination. The Receiver said that with regard to the father (Thomas Thomas) he did not think any useful purpose would be served by a further adjournment. Registrar The examination is closed. Debtor; Very glad to hear it, sir. (Laughter.) Referring to the son's examination, the Receiver snid that he had allowed himself to be sued and judgment was obtained against him. An execution was thereupon levied, and the man's goods were sold under an execution. Apparently the debtor got a friend to buy his engine on the sale by the sheriff, and he thus ensured a liviug for himself, at any rate for some time. The Receiver added that he was informed that the debtor encouraged a person to sue him, and in view of those hcts-the debtor having procured the engine for his future use—he did not think that Thomas should be allowed to prey on future creditors. At any rate if the debtor did get credit to the extent of £ 20 in future he could be punished. Debtor's present deficiency was X660. Mr R-ed, solicitor, who appeared for debtor, asked if the case was to be closed. Receiver: No, adjourned sine die. Mr Reed submitted that the debtor had been a victim of his own friends. It was by becoming surety for his brother and father that debtor had got into this difficulty. Mr Reed pointed out that the engiue was duly advertised for sale, and that fifteen or sixteen gentlemen atteuded the sale. The debtor knew nothing about the gentleman who tendered and bought the engine. He (Mr Reed) took it upon himself to bring the purchaser down to the sale, and he was now told that the engine was not worth the E130 given for it. The owner now found that he had to spend X,50 in repairs. However, he (Mr Reed) could net hope to fight the Official Receiver upou the matter. Mr Reed put in an affidavit which had been made before Mr James Thomas, of Harmeston. Mr Thomas, however, had omitted to attach his signature. The Registrar said he must support the Official Receiver, who had investigated the case, and the examination would be adjourned sine die. FROM BLACKSMITH TO GROCER. Thomas Davies, of Commercial, Llanrlewy Velfrev, formerly a blacksmith, and now carrying on business as a grocer, was next examined. There were 25 unsecured creditors to whom £ 258 18s 9d was expected to rank, and the deficieney was JE216 Os Gd. Debtor attributed his failure to "Bad debts, keen competition and illness in family." Debtor thus accounted for his deficiency Excess of liabilities over assets on February 25th, 1909, 1115 10s lOd bad debts, X2,5 household expenses of self. wife, and servant—one year at 21s per week— £ 54 12s; illness in family and attendant expanses, £14 10s costs costs of summonses and execution £ 6 7s 5d total £ 216 Os 6d. Debtor, who is 62 years of age, stated that from 1872 to 1899 he was in business as a blacksmith at Llandewy Velfrey, but in November, 1899, he discontinued the smithy and commenced his present business. The only book of account kept was a day-book ledger. The liabilities were in respect of moneys borrowed at different times from his two sons, daughter and another relative, amounting to X50, and trade debts, £ 208 18s 9d. The debtor's two sons and daughter also claim ceitain furniture of the estimated value of X15, as having been left to them on the death of their mother. The remainder of the furniture, estimated at £ 5, was claimed by the debtor's second wife as her separate property by purchase with her own money. Debtor now said, in examination bv the Official Receiver, that ho had three children-two sons and a daughter. The oldest child was 32 and the youngest 25. He had been 10 years in business as a grocer, and when he started he had X200 in cash. The only book of account he kept was a day book ledger, and the only record of payment made was the bank pass book. Receiver: How did you get intJ this position ?—Owing to bad debts, ill-health, and loss of money. His bad debts on 10 years trading amounted to 1;25 Os 3d, which the Receiver described as not very heavy. Debtor added that he had not lent anyone money and lost it. With regard to illness, he said that his wife had been under medical treatment for the last seven or eight ears. He had paid medical men £14 10s last year. Referring to the cost of summonses and executions, debtor said he had not been often sued. He ooold not supply any details as to the grocery business, as it was entirely managed by his daughter. lIe had been doing other work. Receiver: You have been living on your creditorsi-I don't think I have been living on the creditors. Debtor added that he earned a few pounds by means of a horse and trap. He attributed his losses in the shop to the supply of inferior mealies. He had been obliged to sell bags of barley meal at a profit of 3d a bag. He con- sidered that he ought to get a shilling profit on each bag. Had he filed his petition before, he should have owed a Swansea firm 1200 more than at present. Replying to other questions, debtor admitted that he did not take the trouble to ascertain his position. But he knew pretty well how much money he owed his creditors. The Receiver pointed out that nearly the whole of £ 208, owing to trade creditors, had been incurred in the yeai 1909, and that debtor at the time the receiving order was made had only £ 5 14s 9d worth of stock in the shop. Debtor admitted that that was correct, but could offer no explanation. All the money taken in the business was deposited in the bank. He did not have Is between him and the worse now. He could not say when he was first insolvent, as the grocery business was managed by his daughter. Receiver You are trying to make your daughter the bankrupt. In farther examination, debtor said that a portion of the furniture belonged to his wife and a portion to his daughter. His wife had kept lodgers-schoolmasters and curates. Receiver They are not very plentiful at Llawhaden You don't get a plague of curates there ? (Laughter.) Debtor: We have had a good many of them there, air. One at a time, I suppose?—Yes, one at a time. Receiver As a matter of fact you can give me no information about your business?—Nothing at all. The examination was adjourned. AMBLESTON MANUFACTURER'S MISFORTUNE. Wm. Morgan, Wallis factory, Ambleston, a woollen manufacturer, attributed a deficiency of fl40 7s 3d to the machinery in the factory being out of repair and to the ill-health of his family. Debtor said he was 40 years of age and had nine children. He said he held a lease on the factory, but the owner had failed to observe the covenant to keep the machinery in repair, otherwise he would not have been bankrupt. Owing to this failure on the part of the landlady the factory had been kept idle for several months. I Debtor accounted for his deficiency as follows -Excess of liabilities over assets on 9th March, 1909, 1105 15s 7d bad debts, 13 4s 8d household expenses of self, wife, and nine children, at 40s per week, £ 104; medical expenses and attendant expenses £ 31 7s Od total X244 7s 3d. Less net profit arising from carrying on business from May 9th, 1909, tl04, leaving a deficiency of £14-0 7s 3d. MACHINERY OUT OF REPAIR. In the course of his examination, debtor said ho had been a woollen manufacturer for eight years. Formerly he was a journeyman. At the time he commenced business he had a capital of S70, and he borrowed X80 from his wife, which he had not re-paid, He held a lease for 14 years on the factory at a tenancy of E15 yearly. Debtor alleged that the owner of the factory failed to observe the covenant to keep the machinery in repair, and that was the reason of bis losses. lIe mentioned that the household goods which had been sold realised JE15. Receiver: To what do you attribute your present position ?-To the fact that the machinery was kept out of repair. r Didn't you consult anyone 1-Yesp last August twelve months. Debtor added that he consulted Mr Brunei White, solicitor, Carmarthen, whom he instructed to bring a claim for damages against the owner. The owner then promised to put everything into repair, and on that understanding debtor said he agreed to pay in eight instalments, covering four y- rIthe arrears in rent. He made this settlement without his solicitor's knowledge and the result was that the repairs had not heed executed and for four months he had been unable to do auy work in the factory. If I had had fair play," added debtor I should not have been here to-day. Replying to further questions, debtor admitted that he had had recourse to money-lenders. He borrowed X20, and although he had paid the money lenders f49 in respect of the loan he still owed them fli is 3d. The examination was closed- COMMISSION AGENT'S ADMISSIONS. I Thomas Harries, commission agent, 12, St. John-street, Whitland, with a deficiency of C122 12s 9d and assets put down as nil, attributed his posIhon to illness of himself and family, low costs, and interest on borrowed money. Examined by the Official Receiver, bankrupt, who is 52 years of age, Baid that when an execution was levied on the effects at the house a claim was made by Mr T. Carver on the ground that he had purchased these at a sale after a distress for rent and execution about two years ago. The High Sheriff interpleaded, and the case was to have been heard on the 21st inst. The debtor also stated that he had been on commission for various firms for the last 25 years. Receiver; You are one of those notorious people who allow themselves to be sued and then state that the furniture is not yours ?-No. I believe you are quite a source of revenue to the county court. You had seventeen judgments against you on the date of the receiving order r Yes. And von c-nne into court at last to save your own skisi. You didn't want a cheap holiday ?-I kept paying as far as I could. Every time they put in pn execution, Mr Carver claimed the goorls r-Ever since thoy were sold to him. Questioned as to a transaction with Mr Carver, debtor denied that he had paid Mr Carver any money in respect of these goods. Receiver Did you know you are committing perjury ? Didn't you give Mr Carver £10 ?-No. The Receiver then said that Mr Carver had told him so, and after a good deal of examination, debtor admitted that it was correct. At first he said the money was paid by his wife, but on being pressed 08 the point he admitted that be himself handed over the money. It was borrowed from a sister-in-law. Receiver Didn't you give Mr Carver anything else ?— A small policy was handed to him as a kind of security. I am very glad you are showing some little grace now by telling the truth. If you hadn't said so, you would have got yourself into a very serious position. Why didn't you disclose that policy at Carmarthen ?-It was not a policy on my life. Why didn't you tell me about the policy ?-I was only asked if my life was insured. We will see what is your idea of the truth. This transaction with Mr Carver took place in July 1907, and in Saptember, 1908 you applied for a loan to the South Wales Loan Finance Company, Pontypridd. You then signed a statement that the furniture was your own and absolutely free of encumbrances ?— Yes. What did you mean by signing that when the goods were sold to Mr Carver in the previous year ?—They asked me about the bill of sale, and I said it was abso- lutely discharged. In 190S you made a false statement ?-If I made a false statement I did not mean to mislead. Is the statement true ?—No. You hadn't paid Mr Carver for the furniture when you made this statement r-No. So that you received this money under false pretences ? —I had no intention of doing that. I have paid them back a lot of money. Is it true that you received this money under false pretences ?—Well, I agree that it must be. But I had no intention of doing anything of that sort. You will have to justify that. Debtor admitted having appliefl for further loass from the same firm. With regard to a piano claimed by his daughter, debtor said he paid two or three instalments on the instrument. Receiver If I press you long enough we shall get it up to six instalments. Will you give me that piano ?-I cannot. It is not my property. Debtor said his daughter wns 19 years of age. Official Receiver: Now come. How old is she r-Over seventeen. Bat she will soon be 19. (Laughter.) The examination was closed. MILFORD FISH BUYER'S FAILURE. The case of J. E. East, fish buyer, Milford Haven, was mentioned, but a medical certificate being produced, the examination was adjourned.

I Football. j SOUTH WALES LEAGUE. MILFORD UNITED, 12; v. LEWIS MERTHYR TREHAFOD, NIL. What proved to be positively the worst exhibition by a visiting team since Milford first joined the league, was witnessed ou Saturday, the Ilhonddaites proving an extremely weak lot. Only the previous week Lewis Merthyr had beaten the Robins by a goal to nil, so that the return was anticipated with some degree of interest. In that game Fred Flavell, the popular forward, was so b idly kicked that he has been confined to bed ever since and will be unable to play again this season. Great sympathy is felt for this quiet and unassuming player, and a collection was made for him on the ground on Saturday. Mat Davies has also been very ill, but is about again, whilst Warr's is also crocked, so that the Robins wiil be badly handicapped ill the cup final next Saturday. On Saturday the team was re-arranged, Helier John once again taking up his old place in the centre, whilst Blockwell went outside left, and Smallwood was given his place in goal again. To revert to the game, it needs but little description. Milford had the assistance of the wind and were soon on the aggressive, Ned Walters especially putting in some fine work. The visitors put up a good defence and Churchill affected some dariBg saves in goal, whilst Herat also kicked powerfully. Only rarely did Trehafod cross the half-way line and yet with all the pressure, the Reds could not break through, the shooting being wild. When they did score they soon piled it on. The first goal came from a corner taken by Hoggins. Smith received and passed back to Gosling, who sent it home. Then H. John crashed in a second, followed by another from the same player. Not to be outdone Jack Smith actually helped himself to four! and when at the interval with seven goals up, the spectators began to wonder if this really was the team that beat Milford even by a goal. The second half was a minute old when John scored. A nice ruu by Walters ended in John bringing his total equal to Smith. A burst by Trehafod ended in Smallwood taking his only goal kick of the match. H. John again got through and then by way of a change Blockwell beat Churchill. The affair had long since become a farce and Milford could have scored as often as they choose, but were content with the round dozen, which H. John brought about. The encounter afforded the Robins good target practice and that is about all that can be said for the hill men were a crude lot indeed. The goalkeeper and left-back were the only two men of worth at all. It transpired after the game that they were an entirely different team to the previous week and the Milford Club have to report the fact of sueh a team being sent down to the League authorities and Lewis Merthyr will have to explain.

NEYL k.,ND v. REST OF LEAGUE. NEYLAND DESERVED CHAMPIONS i The Pembrokeshire All Blacks have for some years past been regarded with their rivals, Tenby, as the best rugger team in the county and this year they have carried all before them, winning the County knock-out Cup, and also Jthe Championship of the West of Llanelly League. On Saturday they met a team selected from the rest of the league. Unfortunately this fifteen was not a strong one and proved easy victims to the Neyland men. The match was played at Nevland. Teams:- Rest of League Back, B Thomas (Pembroke Dock); tbreequartera, Leighton (Pembroke Dock) E Perkins (Milford) Adams (Llangwm) Nichmls (Tenby); half- backs, Morris (Llangwm) PLirry (Pembroke Dock) forwards, Hicks, Phoenix, Griffiths> Mathias (Pembroke Dock) Williams, Evans, (Tenby), W Jones (Llangwm) J Button (Milford).

Referee Mr E. Roberts, LIane y. The game at times was good although for the most part in favour of the champions, who were responsible for the best play. This was but natural, as the scratch team were at a disadvantage in not knowing each other's play in order to combine. That marvellous little half, Evans, after smart work put his side on the attack and the backs brought about a fine bout of passing which nearly ended in Phillips getting over. However, from a line out Ernie John secured and cleverly eluding opposition, he grounded 1:1 the corner, but he failed to convert. Another try was soon forthcoming, T Phillips getting over after more fine play by his partner Evans. Neyland continued to hold the upper hand but failed to score again before the interval. In the second half the Rest asserted themselves and for about ten minutes put up a good game chiefly in the home quarters. During this period, in a scrum, Lillycrop one of the home forwards put his knee out and had to be carried off. Despite the loss of a man Neyland played up and were soon rewarded, A Jones picking up smartly and dropping a goal. It was left to Bobbie Harries, however, to drop a wonderful goal, the player kicking from near the half-way flag. Interesting play ensued but no further scoring took place. Ftnal score:-Neyland, 2 dropped goals, 2 tries Rest of League, nit. At the conclusion of the game, the handsome Cup was presented to A. Richardson, the captain, by Mr James Caisley, chairman of the Milford Club, who congratulated the winners upon their performances throughout the season. Mr Richardson (amidst cheers), responded and said he was proud to have won the trophy, the men had worked well together and by bard training had kept themselves fit.

Haverfordwest Guardians. CHIEF CONSTABLE AND GUARDIAN. QUEST FOB ABSCONDED HUSBAND. I FùR ABSCONDED HUSBAND. Mr S. W. Dawkins presided at a meeting of the Haver- fordwest Board of Guardians, when the other members present were Messrs. W. Howell Walters, J. T. Fisher, W. George James, Henry Lewis, T. G. Lewis, J. L. Llewellin, J. R. Richards, S. Lloyd Lewis, W. H. Davies, J. Fergusson, T. Mathias, E. J. Martin, W. 0 Griflith, j John Reynolds, Revs. Henry Evans, J. J. Evans, and D. J. Jones. AN ABSCONDED HUSBAND. A fortnight ago, Mr Henry Lewis stated that a man who had absconded and left his family chargeable to the Union had been recognised by a policeman at Swansea, but that the officer did not arrest him. The Cleik (Mr J. E. H. Rogers) now read the following letter from the chief constable (Mr Fred Summers) -I I I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th inst., relative to the case of a man, Dan John, wanted by your Board for allowing his family to become chargeable to the common tund of the Union, and to inform you that I hold no warrint from your board for his arrest. I, however, observe in the newspapers that a guardian stated that the police knew where the man was, that a Pembrokeshire policeman had seen and recognised the man in Swansea, but did not arrest him, because he (the guardian) supposed a relative of the man used to pick blackberries with a relative of the police officer. As the man in question has been sentenced to two months' imprisonment on another charge, and I am anxious to effect his arrest, I should be most thankful if your Board will ascertain from the guardian in question his grounds for stating that the police knew where the man was, also the policeman who recognised but did not arrest him at Swansea, as I wish on this statement being substantiated to investigate the matter. Mr H. Lewis: I saw a gentleman yesterday, and he told me he could catch the man at his dinner any day for a sovereign. I now move that a warrant be taken cut for the man's arrest; and I say again that the policeman saw the man in Swansea about 18 months ago. The Clerk mentioned that the relieving officer had been informed by D.C.C. James that it was not necessary to take out a second wavreat as the police wanted the man on a commitment for two months, and if they could find him they would arrest him. Mr Lewis said it was a relation of the Chief Constable that he had mentioned as picking blackberries. The Guardians could give a reward of a sovereign to a private person who gave information that would lead to the man's arrest. The Chairman: The Chief Constable wants to know the name of the policeman who told you that he had seen the man in Swansea. Mr T. G. Lewis seconded the motion to have a warrant issued by the Board for the man's arrest. The resolution was carried, and it was decided that a reward of X.1 bo given to anyone other tha.n a policeman who would bring about the man's arrest.
! Haverfordwest District i…
Haverfordwest District Council. IMPREGNATED WITH TUBERCLE. MANY CONSUMPTIVE VICTIMS. The monthly meeting of the Haverfordwest Rural District Council was held on Wednesday, Mr S. W. Dawkins presiding. Mr J. T. Fisher called attention to the continued occupation of a house in his district which was con- demned last autumn. The agent had promised to have a now house built in the spring, but nothing bad yet been done, and it was still occupied. Several people had died of consumption in it, and it ought to be demolished. Mr W. Howell Walters agreed with All Fisher. It was an old thatched house, and so many people had died of consumption within its walls that it must be thoroughly impregnated with tubercle. 0 Mr J. Fergusson also said that the house should ba pulled down. It was decided to at once remind the owners of their promise to build a new house. SANITATION IN THE DISTRICT. The inspector for the south district (Mr E. F. Gibbon) reported that there had been a case of typhoid at Herbrandston apparently due to visits against the Surveyor's advice to a neighbouring farm. A new pig sty at Broad Haven had been disused on account of its proximity to a dwelling, and the Chairman of the Parish Council had promised to have the question of Little Haven water supply discussed at the next meeting. According to the report of the north surveyor (Mr Phillips), there had been no infectious disease in his district. The dairies and cowsheds in St. David's had been inspected and found fairly satisfactory, and certain minor repairs had been carried out in them. A plan was submitted of a proposed photographic studio at Goodwick.
The Pembrokeshire Port. I
The Pembrokeshire Port. I GOLD FROM NEW YORK. Early on Wednesday morning last the Booth liner Ambrose, from South America, disembarked 75 passengers at Fishguard, the highest number recorded frcm the Booth vessels at this rising new Welsh port. There were 52 by the Antony several days previously, and it is predicted that still greater numbers of passengers from the Brazils will take advantage of the excellent facilities Fishguard offers for reaching London and the Continent speedily. At noon on Wednesday the Cunarder Campania anchored by the breakwater and transferred to the tenders 175 passengers, several thousand bags of mails 600 ingots and 500 packages of gold from New York: The passengers included the Llanelly Choir, which has just concluded a successful tour of the United States. The weather was very unpropitious, rain falling heavily, I but the southerly wind in no way interfered with the debarkation, which in all respects was smooth, comfort- able, and smart. Messrs J. V. Williams, J. Reee, Charles Brown, N. P. Mansfiel, and Captains Humphreys and Sharp were present on behalf of the Great Western Railway Company, and the Cunard Company was also represented.
