"BECCA: MEETING OF THE MAGISTRATES AND DELEGATES AT NEWCASTLE EMLYN A meeting of the county magistrates and delegates from the several parishes was held, by appointment, at the Salutation Inn, in Newcastle Emlyn, on Friday last The meeting was attended by about twenty county magistrates and a number of delegates. Mr. Lloyd Hall, barrister, who has been retained by the delegates of some of the parishes, was also present. The Honourable Colonel Trevor, M.P., Vice-Lieutenant, took the chair, and explained the purpose for which the meeting was held, and the determination of the magistrates. He said he felt extremely sorry to appear before them in his capacity of civil representative of the county in the present posture of affairs, the like of which he had not witnessed for twenty years and upwards. It was with great pain he had learned that the men of this county had not only forgotten what was due to the majesty of the law, but also what was due to their own characters, as peaceable and dutiful subjects..."
