CARDIGAN FISLIERIES.

TO THE EDITOR HE
May 28, 1855.
Sin,--4 am again under the disagreeable necessity of "
bringing to your notice, and that of the
public at large,
the jealousy and bad blood still existing amongst the
lower orders in this neighbourhood, especially amongst .
the fishermen of ~''t. Dagmell'e, the most drunken and
demoralised set in this country, being worse off every
winter when they have a good fishing than when they
have a bad one. This much I have heard from the ma-
gistrates and guardians of the Ueion-house, that they
consider Ahe fishery to the St. Daginell's men a curse
rather than a blessing—spending their money as they do,
after a good day's fishing, in drink, then fighting and
swearing for the rest of the day, and in the winter threw-
ing their families on the Union. Anything like improve-
ment in this part can never be carried on, especially by
Scotchmen, Irishmen, or Englishmen, for all but Wehh-
men are called adventurers and abused. I have now to
bring to your knowledge another plan the cowardly con-
federates have hit upon to annoy Mr. Ewen, of Gobert,
whose property was cut away only a few weeks since—
that of sailing through his nets with smacks constantly
trading between this port and Milford with limestone.
This was done so late as last week, the offender, with as
fair a wind as could be, deviating widely from the usual
coarse and nearly running his vessel aground in order to
effect his purpose, which he fully accomplished, having
split the net to pieces, and then sailed off.
A summons will be taken out against the offender,
and, if necessary, a warrant to bring him up before the
magistrates at Petty Sessions to get him indicted for A
MISDEMEANOUR, under the 11th and 12th Vic., c. 42, s.
2, which is the only act I can find reaches such a vil-
lanous outrage committed upon the shores of her Ma-
jesty's high sea.. If there is any other I will feel grate-
ful to yourself or any one who will, through your
worthy paper, enlighten me, for I fear trusting for
broken stick—as in the Crimean war, one

tection to the present Government is like trusting to

Joseph Quantril, farm bailiff to Messrs. Collard, at
Old Park Parra, deposed—On the morning the duel was
to take place I was near the gravel pit, looking at my
brother, James Quantril, and John Lines, at work in the
pit. Sergeant Brodie came up to the bank, and said,
"Men come here." I laughed at him at first. He repeated
it, and added, " Men, come here, you don't know the
consequences." a said to the men, "He wants one of you
—he doesn't want me." Brodie then said, "Here are two
men going to kill one another; they are going to commit
murder; if you don't stop it we shall all be pulled up and
transported." I then went to the sergeant ; he was as
sober as a judge. I looked carefully at him. No man
could be any soberer. Brown, a woodman, was present,
and when Sergeant Brodie asked us to take the officer
(Baumgarten) he took the bill out of the woodman's
hand, saying, " You had better let me have the bill or
you may injure yourselves with it if there is a scuffle."
Lieutenant Webster was not then present, he had gone
