CORRESPONDENCE. THE DUTY OF CHURCHES AND PREVAILING EVILS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WAT.ES STAR. DEAR SIR,—I do not believe that the informant of your contemporary as to how clubs arc formed is strictly correct, especially as regards the atti- tude of the deacons of the several places of worship in the town. In case his statements were true of any member or members who profess to follow Christ, the best course would have been to see such person individually, and then deal'with him according to the New. Testament method. Has the tradesman who supplied the information and who endeavours to "leftd a Christian life." taken any steps to bring this serious matter before* the erring members themselves, or even taken the trouble to ascertain whether or not these persons are holding the high and responsible office of deacons ? If not, this gentleman's Christianity is a poor imita- tion of the Master's, and leave?, I am afraid, little to choose between himself and the accused. It is a great pity that any man, for the sake of filthy lucre, should countenance, by his presence or otherwise, the heart-breaking, home-destroying, and soul-condemning institutions, which, forsooth, go to-day under the delusive name of social and working-men's clubs. Still, it is a greater pity and an unpardonable sin on the part of any church to allow such person, know- ingly, to be in communion and permit his name to remain in the church roll, without becoming an accomplice, and lending his influence and patronage to this abomin- able business and in every way sharing its grave responsibilities. The divine injunction on this and other points is emphatic, and the duty of the Christian Church clear. Wherefore come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch no unclean thing." Wholesale charges made in secular papers on the information (as far as the churches are concerned) of an un- known and irresponsible person, are not sufficient grounds for any church to take a definite action. However, the attention called to the matter may lead to some heart searching- amongst members of Christian churches which will cer,ainly do us no harm. While Christians belonging to all sections of the church are unanimous in declaring that the drink traffic in its present multifarious forms (public-houses, grocers' licenses, and shebeens) constitutes one of the most formidable foes of the holy and pure religion of Christ, yet we are far from believing that this is the only obstacle that Christianity and Christian churches have to contend with. In my opinion, there are other sins prevalent in the district which are as hateful to God and injurious to the progress of spiritual work. The insatiable craving for wealth, reckless speculations, misleading and un- truthful advertisements, constant misrepresenta- tions. perpetual bickering, mean and dishonest transactions, both in secular and sacred things, are equally detestable in those who call themselves the followers of Christ, and whose characters are supposed to be moulded and shaped by the teaching and the spirit of the Gospel. I hope that we shall, in and out of season, do all we can to stamp out the tide of intemperance, which seriously threatens to swamp the whole district; but, while applying our- selves to this k:nd of work. we cannot overlook other evils which are equally hateful because they assume a different form. and are condoned by some people.—Thanking you for your efforts in this! direction, I am, &«.. L. TON EVANS. Cadoxton, February 24. 1892. BRITAIN'S EARLY FAITH. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SOUTH "WALES KTAR. SIR,-Although rather late in the day, I should be glad if you would allow me to make a few re- marks on the article which appeared under the above heading in the Star of the 5th ultimo. Your contributor, "Aliquis." may be. and, I think, is a scholarly and cultured man in most respects, but the best of us may have a weak side, and I hope '-Aliquis'' will excuse me for paying that antiquarian lore is not ins strong point. As an authority on the subject of the history of the Welsh Church." we are told. Mr. Willis Bund's name stands deservedly high." The fact is that, so far from standing high, it staiads nowhere at all. There are Welsh lawyers who think Mr. Bund a good lawyer. There are Welsh politicians (not many) who think him a good politician, but that any 'Welsh antiquarian ever suspected him of hav- ing an acquaintance with Welsh antiquities, I most emphatically deny. All his speculations in such subjects rest on the assumption, expressed or implied, that old Welsh records are a concoction of lies from beginning to end. For instance, when Welsh historians tell us that certain Cymric princes did so-and-so, Mr. Bund takes it quietly for granted that these statements arc mere patriotic fibs, and that the thiiur was done by the Normans (see his lecture on "The Foundation of Welsh Monastic Houses.") Not only the Liber Lrtndarenxis, but the Jiruti/ the very Triads them- aelves stand 'convicted as clumsy forgeries when subjected to the eagle glance of Mr. Willis Bund and, in short, he assumes that everything happened, not by any means in the way ancient documents tell us it happened, but exactly in the way he (Mr. Willis Bund) thinks it ought to have happened.. Still, I think Aliquis must be making a mis- take when he represents Mr. Bund as talking about an ancient Welsh or Church," just as if the two terms were synonymous. Mr, Bund is hardlv so bad as that but he exposes his super- ficiality at an early stage by stopping to take notice of the statement that the old IVelth Church is in any historical sense four dioceses of the Pro- vince of Canterbury. Whoever said or dreamt it was Possibly some paid-Church Defence lecturer, who has got his story by rote, may talk such rub- bish to an ignorant crowd, but arclncology and history proper cannot take such sciolists seriously.. So Mr. Bund hesitated to say boldly that British Christianity came from Africa, did he ? He must he losing his pristine courage. Judging from his past utterances. I should not have been much sur- -prised had he declared that it came from the sub- merged continent of Atlantis. No standard his- torian has the least doubt as to where our Chris- tianity came from, but there are always people who have a sort of home-made sectarian history of their own, and now that their Eastern theory has bees, completely exploded, it is time to give them a Western one. Let us try Atlantis. African Christians, like St. Cyril and St. Augustine, wer* too manifestly Romish for our present purpose. And so Mr. Bund calls the old Celtic Church 'Goidelic. He did not say the Welsh Church was, 'did he I That would mean that the Welsh people themselves had nothing to do with it, and that it Was the Church of a small body of conquerors— strangers in the land. I suppose few of your readers are ignorant of the fact taat Goidel, Gadhael. Gael, orGwyddel simply means Irishman. When the Goidelic race over ran Britain, part of them crossed into Ireland, another part which -afterwards was forced to take the former course, remained in So-.ith Wales for ages as a dominant race but the conquered Silures and other tribes of Iberic origin always formed the bulk of the population" here. Later on thaCymry, coming from that northern part, where Mr. Bund says only tke Gospel of the sword was offered, came southward, and in their turn conquered the Goidels, driYing them first into the part of Dyfed, now balled Pembrokeshire. Eventually most of them it would appear, were glad to seek out their kindred in Ireland. So if Mr. Bund says the old Welsh Church was Goidelic he must be taken to mean that neither the ancient inhabitants of Wales iior the Cymry who followed the Goidels had any direct connection with it in the earliest times. Before Wales was much more than half christianised it was completely cut off from the Catholic Church in the Continent and the centre of Christianity by a great wedge of heathendom. This presented anything like proper organisation being carried out in the British Church for centuries, and the explanation of the "tribalisID," &c. to which Mr. Bund refers is not far to seek. In any ettse the Catholic Church takes time to a missionary country under proper ecclesiasti- cal organisation. St. Augustine did great work ^ttiong the Anglo-Saxons, but nothing deserving the name of Church organisation was carried out before the advent of Archbishop Theodore in this country. It is long since St. Francis Xavier "Planted the Church firmly in India, but it is only in our own day that the result of his work is being Put under proper organisation and control. Here •and there the son of a bishop or a priest became himself a bishop, a priest,$md so Mr. Bund thinks celibacy of the clergy was not insisted upon. He does not appear to be aware that such cases are not infrequent in the Catholic Church at the Present day. Many widowers become priests, sometimes their sons enter the same calling. But it is possible that in 8°me places and at sometimes a sort of clerical marriages may have been tolerated. In countries where the Church was far better l°oked after than in Britain, such scandals were not very rare before the great Pope Gregory VII. himself, resolutely to his work of reforming ^Uses. Mr. Bund's idea of married men and living promiscuous-like in a monastery the modern Shakers all to fits. No man less Original and fertile in suggesting wild theories have hit upon such a happy solution of difficulties. If Mr. Bund has not yet up the imaginary speech of the supposed Abbot Dinooth it is a pity he has not adhered to the theory of the Eastern origin of the British Church. One would be as easy to maintain as the other. What a wonderful mare's nest Mr. Willis Bund has discovered in the mnUai that elected St. David archbishop. Electing bishops is hardly the wo k of the sasn'rn. but let that pass. Is Mr. Bund so deficient in historical knowledge as not to be aware that all the bishops, including the Popes them- selves, were in ancient times chosen by the popu- lar vote. It is not so now, he will say. Truly, no. The Catholic Church has not a conge (Vel-ire, or any other rule of election imposed upon her by Act of Parliament. In this and other respects she vastly improved her discipline and various usages ot her own creation. Neither do her chil- dren worship in catacombs, as of old. and yet she continues unchanged. There is nothing in the unchanging doctrine of the Catholic Church con- trary to popular election it is a question of dis- cipline. As to the canonisation of saints, it could hardly have been more a matter of popular suff- rage anciently than it is now. But I suppose Mr. Bund thinks the present mode of canonising* saints is for the Pope to say "Go to let us make a saint. Where shall I find an individual who seems to be worthy of canonisation It would be easy to show that Mr. Bund's ideas about the old British heresies are absolutely child- ish, as well as false. I have not seen your issue of the 12th, in which Aliquis promises to consider which Church is the" true modern representative of the faith of the fathers." If it helps him, I cheerfully admit that ancient British Christianity was outwardly far more like Protestant Nonconformity than it was like modern Anglicanism. In all our mis- sionary countries, where the converts are only half instructed, and no proper Church organisation is established. Catholics look. from the outside, very much like Protestants. But there is all the diffe- rence in the world between the chaos out of which comes order and the chaos which is doomed to remain chaos until it ceases to eiiist.—I am. ceo., II. C. TIERNEY.

Sis,—I have much pleasure in forwarding you a complete list of the donations received re Barry Drowning Relief Fund which I trust you will publish in order to convince the general public that the Order is not so black as it has been painted by some of the correspondents of your con- temporary of late. I also wish to heartily thank the several ladies [and gentlemen of this dis- trict. and the subscribing lodges throughout the kingdom on behalf of the bereaved families, and the brethren of the Loyal Victoria Lodge, Barry Dock for their kind co-operation and support in this deserving case. I also wish it to be under- stood that the Royal Antedeluvian Order of Buffaloes is in no way, officially, connected with any of the clubs at present in existence in our dis- trict. It has been unanimously decided that any donations which may be received from this date after closing of the above fund shall be handed over to Mrs. Brownsell, whose husband was drowned in the steamship Prince Soltykoff. taking into consideration the fact that she has been left with a family unprovided for. Thanking you in anticipation and for past favours.—I remain, yours, &c., J. HARRISON, Hon. Sec. R.A.O.B. Relief Fund. [The total sum subscribed amounts to £172 lis. 31d.. which has been divided in the following way :—Mrs. Jackson, £49 5s. 4d. Mrs. Redmond, £49 ils. 4d. Mrs. McDonald. £49 5s. 4d. Mrs. Brownsell (re Prince Soltykoff disaster), £24 3Jd. Mr. Harrison deserves the warmest thanks of the general public for his praiseworthy action.— EL). S. H —— SANITARY CONDITION OF PWLLANDREAS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR-Will you please allow me a short space in your valuable journal to call the Sanitary Inspec- tor's attention to the condition of the above place, which is in a most disgraceful state. There are about twelve houses facing the road that leads from Brynmenin Tondu which is a parish read) and almost all the nuisance from these houses is thrown out into the road, which is most noxious to the passers by, leaving out of account those that live at the placej Both the drains each side of the road are full of this nuisance. Just below this place the stench is unbearable, even now at this time of the year. I don't know what it will be when the hot weather comes on. If there is no- thing done before the hot weather comes, there will, be a very serious time of it at this place. I cannot make out what has become of our Inspec- tor, and what the members of the Board are think- ing of themselves. I believe they are all gone on their holidays. I wish to call the attention of the ratepayers; of this district to this matter, and ask them to take some steps towards getting a little reform in this direction, and see that these paid officials are doing their duty. I, myself, don't believe in keeping idle people. I will not say any more at present, but, unless something is done here before long, I will have another word in another direction that will be sure to bring some one to account for all this neglect. Thanking you. Mr. Editor, for a small space for these few lines, which I hope will meet the eye of our Inspector, and also the ratepayers of the district.—I am, PEACEFUL PAUL. Abergarw. MR. OLIVER JONES' MEETING AT LLANCARFAN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR,—Allow me a brief space in your valuable columns to call attention of all Liberals and fellow-workmen to a meeting concerning the County Council election of Dinas Powis district held at the above quarter of the electorate in which Mr. 0. H. Jones gave an account of his stewardship. In all meetings of the kind every person that undertakes to speak should be aware that he is a subject for the audience to form an opinion of. consequently he must either enjoy the applause and approval, or endure the criticism and perhaps censure of those that he offends and betrays. Since Judas Joseph has opened the gap. there are others of less significance undoubtedly, but of the same spirit and emotion, who feel obliged or rather take advantage of the occassion to follow in the same steps of which we had a pure specimen at the above meeting. What more inconsistent, than a Liberal and also a Noncon- formist preacher, moving a resolution in favour of the present councillor, who, on any grounds, cannot be termed a Liberal and not only so, but taking for granted that his conduct three years ago in supporting the paid councillor, who was then as he is now of the same colours, was so much wiser than his (then) opponents. Will the respected gentleman hold this attitude in face of his pre- vious Liberal policy, and, therefore, endeavour to observe the anomalous and inconsistent position that he has placed himself. We cannot come to any other conclusion because it would be rather too much of an exaggeration to believe and say that he is wiser tha.u the whole Liberal federation, which issued a manifesto to fight the coming elections on political grounds, and certainly all of us would rather abide by the judgment of this whole body, than the opinion of this single individual. Indeed, if we are not mistaken, very much of the story, by which he com- pared the conduct of his opponents, could be applied with much more grace and appropriate- ness to explain his own bewildered position than any others. We only wish that we could open his eyes fully to see himself in the fog. surrounded with mist travelling over a very precipitous mountain of stray thoughts, unsound judgment, and mistaken policy. But the reason that I draw the attention of my Liberal comrades to this affair is because he always ranks himself on the Liberal side, especially in a Liberal meeting. There he is the best man. Fel- low-Liberals, where are we going, and what are we approaching ? Is the fox to have the key of the fowl-house the wolf the care of the sheep and men of base. shallow, whiggish principles, whose politics extend no farther than three miles square, allowed to remain the hypocritical leaders of the advanced and progressive Liberal party ? The idea is absurd, and needs no comment; there- fore let us awake, pluck up spirit, and trust no man but as far as he represents our real feelings and convictions also let us clean and sweep the house of all dross, alloy, and tell every traitor to honour their history, retire into their own place, so that the Liberal van of progress may travel faster and swifter. Moreover, before leaving you let me also pass a word of remark on another bla- tant, arrogant, and offensive speech, delivered by an apostolical successor, a State-paid parson. We wonder at the discretion of this reverend gentle- man. The candidate he supported, courting the votes as an Independent, claiming no party politi- cal creed, when his supporter, this reverend gentleman, could not refrain without entering into the very heart of party politics. Where was the tremendous amount of sense that he boasted of lately, so infinitely wiser than some single indi- vidual living in his parish, who, by the bye, was wise enough to contribute a considerable portion of his salary, receiving nothing in return, because he never enters the portals of his sacred place. Undoubtedly the reverend gentleman thought that he had frightened the planets and their gods; leaving alone the weak and weary in the marching tribe, by alluding to the expenditure of America and France in maintaining their members of Government. which is such grievous burden upon them, different to what we have in the British Isles." We would remind the respected vicar that the cheapest is not alwaws the best, and that what is very cheap is also very nasty. Certainly the payment of members would incur a great amount of expenditure but what if we were to nationalize the expenses of State-cloth and reduce a little on the expenses of our mon- archical system. We may perhaps meet even that great innovation with some amount of confidence, well assured that to pay legislators is far better than to pay for legisl:1tioll,-I am, &:< HOME RULER.

FOOTBALL NOTES.
FOOTBALL NOTES. LEY THE DuuiD.j Penarth journed to Bristol two years ago. and defeated the city team by 6 goals and 4 tries to nil. On Saturday Bristol won by 1 try to nil. now things change It will be remembered that several weeks ago I said that Bristol would give Penarth a warm reception, for I witnessed the match on the County ground when Bristol defeated the 'Quins. Penarth have, I admit, some excuse, for Rowles had to leave the ground on Saturday shortly after the kick off, and during the whole of the game, really Penarth played on 14 men. The match was a rough and tumble character, dis- appointing form being shown by both teams. The Penarth backs strove hard. but without success. Hutchings did the word of two'men, but the forwards have rarely shown poorer form. Com- bination among the backs is greatly needed, and until this is secured Penarth need not expect to win any of theirIbig matches. Penygraig suffered defeat on the Llanelly ground, yet the match was well-contested. Lover- ing. Lloyd, and Bowen did excellent work for the winners while Lloyd defended excellently for Penygraig. The 'Quins took their strongest team to Morris- ton. and won by seven points to two. Maritime defeated St. David's by one goal to nil. after a well-contested game. The "Colliers" displayed a slight superiority" behind," but in the loose rushes St. David's quite held their own. Ponty- pridd draw with Aberavon after a most exciting encounter. Tiley was the mainstay of the home- sters. although every man played with great de- termination. Cogan continued their successful career by defeating Cathavs, and Llwynpia de- feated Dowlais for the Welsh Cup. Barry and Cadoxtan District took their way to Penarth, where they encountered a very strong "A" team; and after a fast, open game, the homesters won by four tries to nil. In the scrum the visitors quits held their own, but in the open they were not so quick as the Penarthians. The District back should have saved a couple of the points had he gone for his man "low" instead of trying to tackle the men by the shoulders. Brown (half). J. Williams, and Heywood, were the pick of the Penarth backs while Whiter Ellis, Matthews,"Davies and A. Wil- liams showed up well in the loose rushes. Just a word about the treatment of the referee. Consider- ing that he was a well-known Penarth man. and one who has worked hard and long for the Penarth beam, I was surprised that the" noisy lot should be so much dissatisfied with a couple of the de- cisions, which, as you may guess, were against the home team. I hear the Penarth committee are taking the matter up, and, as the offender is known, something further may be heard of it, as the com- mittee are determined to put a stop to this dis- graceful practice of insulting referees. I am making a new departure this week, as you svill see. I am not only giving the fixtures for Saturday, but also the probable winners—the teams 1 fancy will win. Please understand, ye dollar- placers," that I do not hold myself responsible: yet. if any of you should happen to make a pile of jash out of my tips. if you feel so inclined, you nay send a decent per centage to yours truly, at :his office.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT WILIJAMSTOWN.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT WILIJAMSTOWN. On Monday afternoon a terrible accident occurred at Llystwyn Colliery, Penrhiwfer, Williamstown. The fireman, Gomer Thomas, a young man of 25. who had been promoted by the company to his present position because of his trustworthyness, was engaged with a man. named John Baker, melting some explosive, preparatory to firing a shot in the colliery. How it is not known, but the whole exploded suddenly. Baker was disembowelled, the fireman had all his fingers blown off, and his legs and bowels severely in- jured. The old man was blown against the frame of the lamp station, where the accident occurred. Baker who lives at Tonypandy died that evening, the two others lingered till next day. The old man was lamp station keeper, and was 77 years of age, and well known under the name of Daniel Llystwyn, his full name being Daniel Richards, of Trebannog. Gomer Thomas lived at Penrhiw- fer. All were married Baker had grown up sons and daughters and grandchildren so bad the old man. Great sympathy is felt with the families of the sufferers.

BARRY SIGNALMEN TT AND THEIR…
BARRY SIGNALMEN TT AND THEIR GRIEVANCES. THE FOUR SIGNALMEN'S COMMUNICATION EXPLAINED. LETTER FROM ANOTHER OF THE MEN. OUR STATEMENTS PROVED TO THE HILT. SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST THE BARRY COMPANY. It will be remembered that a fortnight ago we published an article dealing with the dissatis- faction existing among the signalmen of the Barry Railway Company. We said, among other things, that the men worked tihree and even four shifts at a time, and that overtime was not paid for according to the settlement that had been arrived at at the end of the railway strike. Last week four signalmen on the Barry Railway sent in a signed letter strongly protesting against the view we had taken, and denying that there was any dissatisfaction among the employes of the company. A Cogan signalman also wrote anonymously, but in endeavouring to prove that there was no such dissatisfaction existent, practically conceded the truth of almost every allegation contained in our prerions article. It was admitted (1") th?.t the manager had been petitioned by the men (2) that three shifts were worked at a time (3) that the A.S.R.S. would, if not immediately, at any rate eventually be asked to interfere, and (4) that overtime was paid for, not according to the strike settlement of a time and a half, but at the rate of time and a quarter. From the sub-joined letter, which we have re- ceived from another employee, who now makes his first appearance in the controversy, it will be seen how the men look upon the matter. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. Sir,—Will you kindly grant me a small space in your valuable paper in reply to a letter that ap- peared in your last issue, signed by four signal- men purporting to be on behalf of the Barry signalmen. I contend they should have said that it was on their own behalf, and not on behalf of the signalmen at large. I can quite see their object in rushing to the press repudiating the statements of your reporter knowing at the same time that the statements of the reporter were quite correct. Their only object was for the masters to see that they were trying to cloak their mean actions in violating the agreement of the late strike. Are they under the impression that they will be pro- moted to the ranks of stationmasters or inspectors by so dciag ? I am afraid they will be greatly disappointed. Poor fellows. In the first in- stance I pity their ignorance regarding overtime worked by signalmen along the Barry line. I can prove to them that there are signalmen that have had to work three turns in succession very recently. They infer in their letter that they are paid at the proper rate for over-time. I should like to ask them if ever they have been paid according to the agreement of the late strike, viz., time and a quarter for all time over sixty hours, and time and a half for Sunday duty. Let them be men and tell the public what they get for working thirteen hours on Sundays. Again, they say that the Amalgamated Society of Rail way Servants did not know anything regarding the petition sent in. I say that they should be ashamed of themselves to try to intro- duce sectional movements. The more proper way would be for them to affiliate themselves to the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, and have it properly carried out under the auspices of the above society as we have heretofore. Again, they refer to the courteous manner in which all grievances are considered by our manager that are brought before him in a straightforward manner. I will give you a case in point. When John Clarke, fireman, was discharged for the neglect of his mate, his fellow-workmen thought that this was very unjust. So the secretary of the Amalga- mated Society of Railway Servants was instructed to write to the manager asking I him to kindly grant an interview to a, deputation on behalf of the aforesaid firemen. But to our surprise he refused to discuss the matter at all although written to twice. As for the Coganite's letter I don't think that it is worth discussing, with the exception of his reference to Judas. I think it suits him much better than the one he applies it to in trying to sell the cause of his fellows for the simple reason, as I term it, of getting his finger up with the master. I may say that it is not only the signalmen suffer through the injustice of the officials, but the poor train men have to suffer a great amount of injustice through the infringement of the agreement of August the 14th, 1890. As most of your readers are aware it is stipulated that all trainmen should be paid at the rate of sixty hours for a week's wages. I can give you several instances where firemen have had to work seventy-two hours for a week's wages on the mere pretext that they had not received a letter from the so-called locomotive superintendent stating that they are made firemen. Again, we came out on strike for shorter hours for pilotmen than main line men. But we waived that point on the understanding that the hours would be the same all round, but instead of that they have the audacity to make the pilotmen work nine hours for overtime instead of eight. I can well remem- ber listening to Mr. Int-kip' speech at the Queen- street-hall, Cardiff, when he laid such stress on the paragraph he said, "You will observe that this is sixty hours all round." So I fail to see where the nine hours come in for overtime. Again, with reference to Mabon's week we gave way on Mabon's Monday on the distinct understanding that only that day should be cropped. But they take advantage of booking men off at the end of the week for the purpose of cutting them down to fifty hours. We contend that we should be cropped for the Monday only. We have cases every Mabon's week of brakesmen who have families to maintain on the handsome wage of 16s. 8d. for the week, although work is found them 011 the Monday. These are only a few of the broken clauses of the late agreement. Thanking you in anticipation of inserting this through the columns of your valuable paper,-I am, &c., SPRING BUFFER.
ALLEGED FRAUD AT PONTYCYMMER.
ALLEGED FRAUD AT PONTY- CYMMER. A respectably-dressed person, described as a commercial traveller, was brought up iR custody at the Bridgend Police-court on Saturday last, on the charges of forging and uttering a cheque for £ 6 3s. in the name of Messrs. Singer and Buckley, Bridgend, and also with obtaining that sum under a false pretence, at Poutycymmer.—Mr. T. J. Hughes, Bridgend, announced that he had just been instructed for the prisoner's defence, and he formally applied for an adjournment of the case until the following Saturday. He desired bail on prisoner's behalf in order that he might have access to prisoner, to receive full instructions.— Superintendent Thomas said they had been watch- ing for defendant for the past few weeks, and they had had a narrow escape in managing to secure him that morning.—Police-sergeant Row deposed that on Saturday morning he arrested prisoner, who was making his way as fast as he could up Coity-road, Bridgend.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
ORIGINAL POETRY. ST. DAVID'S DAY. St. David, on thy festal day, Let Cambria's harp be strung And Cambria's halls look proudly gay. While patriot lay is sung-. With life and health, the Welshman's heart Is throbbing as of yore, St. David, wi jh ingenious art. To honour ever more. We love to scan the battle field. Where erstwhile fought the free, Who. with their life-blood once did shield Our homes and liberty For our true hearts this morning's Run Shall paint afresh to-day The hard-fought fields and victories won On great St. David's day. Th' heroic virtues of the past Displayed on fields of fame, All green in memory's shrine will last, Adorning patriot name; The undegenerate will e'er Honour their sires so true; Their glorious badge they'll love to wear, Follow th' emample too. Life's primal source to purify, His life St. David gave,- The Cymric home to beautify, And Cymric race t-j save. The Christian faith he did bestow, To be our hope for aye Let each man show how much we owe On good St. David's Day. Faith, Hope, and Charity shall reign Among our common race St. David's mission will obtain Beyond the bounds of place. On that blessed day the nations will A tribute to him pay, Which Cambria's heart will cherish still On good St. David's Day. THOMAS WILLIAMS,

ILLEGALLY REMOVING PIG-s.-Richard Guy. butcher, Penarth and Barry Dock. was charged with removing 43 pigs, contrary to the regulations of the Glamorgan County Council.—Police- constable Brown said that on Wednesday he saw a boy driving 43 pigs, the property of defendant, along Stanwell-road, Penarth. They were being removed from the station to the slaughter-house. He had no licence for removing them, and the de- fendant said the pigs came from a Pembroke fair, and he did not know an order was required.— Superintendent Wake produced a copy of the order, which came in force on the 8th of February, and also a copy of the paper in which the order was published.-In reply to defendant, he said it was not his duty to notify the railway company.—Inspec- tor King proved that defendant had not applied for a licence to remove the pigs.—Defendant alleged ignorance of the publishing of the order. He further stated that he was not the owner of the pigs, as he was not the actual purchaser until the animals were slaughtered.—A11 adjournment for a week was mnde in order to prove the question of owner- ship.—Shadrach Smith, butcher, of Newport, was charged with a similar offence.—Defendant, who pleaded ignorance of the law, was fined 10s.— Henry Yenning, for illegally removing three cows and a calf, was fined 10s.—Williatn Carroll, of Pencocdtre, near.Cadoxton, was charged with a similar offence.

Witness got out of bed. and went to the door, defendant striking her a violent blow on the fore- head.—Inspector Rees corroborated, and said the complainant's head bled very badly.—The Bench characterised the assault as a most unprovoked one. and fined defendant C2 and costs, or seven days' hard labour. DARING BOY BURGLARS AT CADOXTON. — David McCarthy (12), Jeremiah McCarthy (10), Wm. Adams (10), and Charles Caine (10), four small boys, were charged with burglariously entering and robbing certain confectionery premises at Cadoxton on the previous Thursday night.—Robert Foster said he was the tenant of the confectionery shop at 50, Yere-street, Cadoxton. and when he went to the premises on Friday morning last he found that they had been entered during the night. Entrance had been obtained by the smashing of a pane of glass, and a strong lock at the rear, a p:ece of lead pipe being used to break the latter. About sixteen boxes of chocolate creams, twenty boxes of 1. crackers," and six boxes of biscuits were stolen. A large quantity of biscuits and chocolates were strewn about the floor, and jumped on, several bottles of soda water and lemonade being also emptied about the shop. The total damage was £ 10.—Edward Halestone. 12 years old. living at Holme-street, Cadoxton, said he saw the two McCarthy's by the post-office at about nine o'clock on the night in question with packages of something under their coats. They took them in- to Birchill's empty house and put them upstairs. As they had sweets in their hands lie asked them where they had them from. First of all they said they had had them from a sailor. They did not have so much under their coats when they cume out of the empty house. They gave witness a biscuit, one sweet, and a few bits of liquorice. He did not see Caine or Adams.—Frederick Gray (12) said he saw the two McCarthy's near the Public Hall in Yere-street on Friday morning. They had lozenges, n,es, creams and biscuits with them. They were throw- ing them up in the air for boys to scramble for.— Inspector Rees said on Sunday he charged the four defendants with the offence. David McCarthy said Jack Holland pushed me in through the back kitchen window, and I opened the back kitchen door for him. I think he broke something 011 the window. James Caine was watching, and we gave him some biscuits, sweets, and chocolate. Jack Holland and me and Adams went in a second time. Adams had some liquorice, and Jack Holland had some ginger beer and crackers. The third time Jerry, my brother. Holland, and me went in. Us only had ginger beer."—The answers 'e of the other three defendants were practically an admission of the offence. The boy Holland had not yet been found.—The McCarthys (who were birched last Thursday for a similar offence) were ordered to receive twelve strokes with the birch. Adams six strokes, Caine being let off with a severe caution. FOWL STEALING AT BARRY DOCK. — Charles Hallctt, Charles Bishop, Henry Purnell, and Thomas Burn ford, all of Barry Dock, were charged with stealing two fowls belonging to John Ilewett. a boilermaker, living at 20. Regent-street. Barry Dock.—Prosecutor gave evidence as to missing the fowls, and identified one of the two plucked birds produced as belonging to him. — P.C. Stephen Davies traced feathe rs from the prosecutor's house to the backyard of 40, Lombard-street. In the back-kitchen, in a basket, and in the middle-room he found the feathers (produced). He saw Purnell (the landlord) in the room. In reply to a ques- tion as to how the feathers were about the house, he said he supposed the wind must have blew them in. (Laughter.) At six o'clock in the evening witness found the two fowls (produced) in a stable in course of erection at Evans-street. Witness concealed himself for about three quarters of an hour. when he saw Dumford and Hallett come in. Bumford lit a match and said It's all right," and put one of the fowls under his coat. Hallett took hold of the other one. Witness arrested them both, and conveyed them to the station. Hallett and Bishop lodge with Purnell. Bishop was arrested that morning.—Inspector Rees said at eight o'clock that morning Bumford sent from the cell for him, and, from what he told him, witness asked him if he would like to see Hallett. He replied" Yes." When Hallett came Bumford said, I'm not going to stand this you know I slept in the house Saturday night, and when I came down to have a drink of water at half-past four, you and another fellow in the kitchen were feathering two fowls." Hallett said. Don't go to sa-y that." Shortly afterwards Bishop was brought to tlie station, and when confronted with Bumford, the latter identified him as the other man who was feathering the fowls. Bishop said nothing. On the four defendants being charged, Purnell said he knew nothing at all about it Bumford reiterated his previous statement, the other two saying nothing.-At this point Hallett said that it was Bishop and him who had taken the fowls, and that the other two were innocent.— Purnell was now discharged by the bench.—Bum- ford. for his own defence, called his brother Ed- ward and a inau named John Evans as to the time he went to bed and when he got up.— Hallett again admitted that he and Bishop stole them. but said that Bumford took the two fowl out of the house with him.—Bumford What is the use of saying that.' How could I take them out in such a thin jacket as this ?—Each defendant was was fined 4:1.
SAD FATALITY AT PENRHIWFER.
SAD FATALITY AT PEN- RHIWFER. THREE WORKMEN KILLED. About three o'clock on Monday afternoon a deep gloom overspread Tonyrefail at the news that an explosion of blasting powder had occurred at the Penrhiwfer Steam Coal Pit, owned by the Glamor- gan Coal Company, by which Gomer Thomas (fireman), John Whit-taker, and Daniel Richards (workmen) had lost their lives. It appears that some persons working a few hundred yards from the bottom of the pit shaft, attracted by a deafen- ing report, followed by smoke coming from the direction of the lamp station, hurried to the spot and were horrified to find the three unfortunate persons named lying in the vicinity of the station suffering terribly, their bodies being frightfully mangled. Dr. Davie6. having quickly arrived, had the men conveyed to their homes, Thomas to Penrhiwfer, Richards to Trebanog. and Whittaker to Tonyrefail. By 12 o'clock on Monday night all three had succumbed to their injuries.
