We regret to state that Daniel Pruja, of Old Cautle-i-md, Llanelly, died on Monday even- ing after a long illness, said to be causes by all assault committed upo-a him a month ago. As has already been stated in these columns, a row occurred on Saturday night. May 5th, in the Athenaeum-square, in which the unfor- uiate Daniel Price, John Thomas, Andrew- jest, Llanelly, and others are alleged to have aen concerned. The facts relating to this l8 rather cloudy. What is real^ known, owever, is that sometime after midnight on he date mentioned, Price was discovered lying 0 an unconscious in Athenamni-square. le was conveyed to the Prince of Wales Inn, la,li-strt-et, which is kept by a sister- No imr movement wa^ sported in to oondiUon o* ,he Sundav following, and he waa then r t» W, borne in Old » «as attended timmgnont his illners y [) J Williams.

D R Williams, solicitor, who has been instructed for his dcfence, at last Wednesday's Court, made an application for bail, and offered good securities, but the magistrates da- clined to allow Thomas out, deeming the case too serious. Mz'. T. R. ^udlord, opposed the application oil behalf of the prosecution. Price was a brother of Dr. Plice, Llanelly. and leaves a. widow and five children. A post mortem elimination will be con- ducted on the body. preparatory to the holding of the inquest at the Old Castle Inn, before the Coroner, Mr. W. Buckley Rodcxick. The tad affair sud its sudden seque. have ex- II cited great interest in Llanelly, and although the facts knewn are few, these have been dis- I cussed with much avidity. Thi original charge against Thomas was that of aemult and battery, but this will probably LOW ba ex- tended to the more serious charge.

The place of honour is ocupied by Tlie I Fancy Dress Ball," a ppecUuilar sketch pro- duced by a company belongig to Mr. John I Tiller, who is exceedingly well knfown in variety, and theatrical circles. The sketch was voted a grand success, and inch of the credit for this must be given to Mr Walter Hassan, who acted as stage manage. Although the sketch proved so very good, i; was not the onlv attractive item on the programme.

The; sang of the London Baseball Team," ancput in plenty I of amusing dialogue, beside givig a burlesque singing contest, which caused mch laughter. l Miss Amy Height, the coloure cooness, sang Climb the golden gates and Darling little Dinah," for which she was lotly applauded. Mr. Harry Drew gave a goc rendering of « The dear little shamrockand Father O'Flynn," and the Effie QuaEtte sang and danced in a very attractive mamr. The Hand, led by Mr. Hulett, gave an adirable render- jjig of the overture, Camp .;le," and ac- i companied well throughout.
