David Evans was sitting on a settle with a blue of beer in his hand, Evans was sitting on the same settle next to the fire-place smoking with a blue of beer on a round table in front of him, and John Lloyd was sitting on a chair on the other side of the fire smoking with a pint of beer near the fire-place and close by him all the measures were nearly full of beer, and all the men drank their contents before leaving. He called the attention of the landlord to the men being in the house, and he said that he was very sorry for it, but that he gave them the beer and received no payment for it. The landlord and the three men begged of him not to report the case. Thomas Evans on oath said that he went there for the loan of the Cambrian News and that the beer was given and not paid for. David Evans said that he went there to arrange for the roughing of his horse next morning. The Bench said that as there was some doubt about the case, the summonses would be dismissed, but cautioned the defendants.-The Chairman, in connection with this case, said that letters had been received by members of the Bench, for which, if he had the power possessed by the judges, he would commit their writers for contempt of Court.
