At Hereford Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday, on the motion of E.B. CLIVE, Esq. it was unanimously resolved by the Magistrate assembled, to accept the offer of a portrait of the late Duke of Norfolk, to be placed as a decoration in the new County Hall; and a subscription has been opened to defray the expense of the painting. A servant to Mr. John HOLBEN, farmer at St. Andrew's, near Cardiff, was last week summoned before a Magistrate, and convicted in the penalty of three pounds for taking off his horse from his waggon in order to defraud the Turnpike in the Cardiff District of the toll due for the same. This being the second fine paid in the course of about two months for same offence, the Magistrate informed the party that, if another complaint of the kind should be brought before him and followed up to a conviction, he should indict the penalty of the whole sum of five pounds directed by the Act, without mitigation.
