Llandilo Police Court. Saturday Hast, before Mr J. AY. Gwynne Hughes, Cot. Lloyd, and Mr W. Griffiths.

TH CONSTRUCTION OF A VEHICLE. D. Walters, Llandyfan farm, near Llan- dilo was charged with having a vehicle with- out a licence.—Mr T. G. G illiams, who ap- peared for the police, said that the defen- dant had a, vehicle dor which he ought to have taken out a los licence. He had two traps and in respect of one had taken out a licence. He thought he would prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the trap in respect of the summons was not soltily constructed for the purpose of trade.—The defendant said the trap was in town and could be seen. —Mr T. G. Williams said he would not accept it as evidence as it had been altered since the date of the offence and obviously for a purpose.—P.O. T. Ivor Morgan said at 7.30 p.m. on the 5th of August he saw the defendant witJl a horse and carriage in Car- marthen street, At 8 p.m. he again saw him and approached him when in st. Witness asked him it he had a licence for the trap, and he said "I have no licence ifor this, hut I have paid for another that is at home. I pay for one. I am not going to pay for two. I use this for messages and the other when I enjoy my- self." The carriage was taxable.—Defen- dant here said that he used that tr.^p for rough work in the farm and for taking pro- duce to market. Clerk: You should not have pleaded guiilty in that case if you set up that defence. If you can prove that, you will not ibe guilty.—As defendant pleaded now not guilty, P.C. Morgan gave sworn evidence. He stated that defendant had some i implements in the trap. Witness described the trap as a two wheeQed vehicle ,with side springs, a step oil. each ride in the front and one in the back. A cushioned seat with back rest. The shafts were fixed under the body of the trap. The name W. Walters, Llandyfan, painted in black and picked out in red. There were sockets for lamps. The defendant admitted it was his propertv. AY ltness visited Llandyfan farm on the oil) of Septemlber and there saw the carriage, ne noticed the springs had been removed, and Ihlo^fe put instead. The step had been removed from, the (back. At four p.m. wit- ness saw him use another trap for which he had a licence. Mr T. G. Williams explained that the defendant had taken everything over on the farm from his father.—Defen- dant said he would like to have the carriage examined.—Col. Lloyd asked why seeing it had ibeen materially altered.—Defendant said he had altered it to avoid paying a licence. He had shown the trap to a magis- trate and he said it did not require a licence. Williams submitted the law should pre- vail and he had given them the law of the High Court 011 the subject. The whole point war; whether the carriage v.a> constructed and adapted for use and use solely for the con- veyance of goods, etc., in the course of bus- bandry. It should for that purpose and that purpose only the constructed and us?d solely for trade.—Being asked to waive certain objections Iby the bench, Mr Williams said he would waive nothing..—D. Walters, the defendant, sworn said lie used the trap for farm work, and never lused it for any other purpose. Of that he was certain. He had land on the other sside of the town, and used it to take things there. He had been using it regularly. It was perhaps 16 or 18 years old.—The aibove evidence v.-as in answer to the bench.—By Mr T. G. Williams: It was his father's tra-p up to six months a.go. Defen- dant did know that his father took out a licence for the trap last year. He could not deny that he did. He could not tell them if lie had no other trap that he would take a license out. Hi-i servant man was in the trap when the policeman saw him.—Mr Wil- liams Is he merchandise?—Defendant said he did not iiii-clet-stiiid.- Col. Lloyd: He would be an agricultural implement (laughter).—Defendant said he had a splash 'hoarcl.-The Ibench dismissed the case.—Mr Williams spoke about asking for a case.— The Cilerk (Mr Bishop) said lie could demand the case on application in writing.—Mr Wil- liams said that when on a previous occasion the Deputy Chief Constable applied for a case, the Clerk said it was a frivolous appli- ea tiou. -Clerk Very likely. ANOTHER CHARGE. D. Wallters was then charged with failing to produce an exemption licence when de- manded.—P.C. J. I. Morgan said lie found two bitches on the yard of Llandvfan farm. Y\ ltness asked defendant to produce his licence, and lie said lie had no time to lose to look ifor such things. Witness Ulgain asked and lie walked away. He called defendant back and lie went into the house, and in ten minutes time came out and helld a paper in his hand a yard away and refused to give it to me to examine. It was ten years old. He a'ked him for the one for 1910. He said he had shown it to the .policeman in Llandebie. After keeping witness waiting another 20 minutes he called him out of the house, and he said he was taking his tea and had no time to loclk for it.—Defendant said he had nothing to say. He was fined £ 1 and costs. 7s Gd.—.Defendant (to .'Mr Gwynne Hughes): Thank you, sir.—After consultation between the Bench and the Clerk, with regard to the first case, Mr G-wyune Hughes said that a.s he had not his name on the trap they were boiun-d to convict.

He said twice that his name was John Jones from Carmarthen. Witness spoke to two of defendant's friends and so ascertained his correct name.—Fined 2s 6d and costs 8s öd. THE DRINK.

Joseph Williams, blacksmith, Llanedy, AVUS charged hy Inspector Roberts, R.S.P.C.C., Carmarthen, with cruelty to a mare.—P.C. Walter Evans sworn said that at 2 p.m. on the 23rd of .last month in Rhosmaen st., he saw the defendant leading a chestnut mare. She was very lame on both fore feet, and appeared to be in great pain. Witness asked him where lie was taking it, and he said to Llanedy. He was going to walk her. Wit- ness told him she was not fit and to take it back to the staibae until the vet. surgeon saw her. He took her back.—By Mr J. W. Bishop: He saw it 1 rought out of the Castle yard and led ten yards. His oppor- tunity of judging the mare was in the ten yards walk. Witness did not examine the horse, but it appeared in pain. It could hardly put one leg before the other. There was a swelling on the fetlock. There was a sweliling. on the near fore leg. He did not put his hand on the horse at all.—Inspector Roberts, R.S.P.C.A., said that lie visited the Castle fieild on the 23rd of August and examined a chsetnut mare in a shed in the ficlcl14, and found her in fair bodily condition, but helplessily lame on both fore legs from extensive side ibonos. She pulled her hind legs Ivndcr the belly and hopped. When standing she kept resting on one leg and then on the other. In his opinion she was totally unfit to travel. Defendant and his mother were present. Joseph Williams, the defeudaut. said he had given tIO 10s for her but they could not work her. The mother said "I am a poor widow. r aot a mare that was worth £ 30. and I thought I should get a few shillings from the people who buy the likes of her." Later on in the day wit- ness heard that the mare had been shot.— By Mr Hi-hop He was paid for looking out for trouJble of the kind. He knew the effect of side bones. From his experience he knew different effects of aide bones. If the animal is properly shod the effects would be done away with in some cases. He had never seen such an extensive side bone on a mare five years old. The tendons were thickened. He would take it from Mr Bishop she had tra- velled cileven miles that day. He considered it would have ibeen cruel to have put the horse out to grass in such a state. He should have (been looking at it again. Mr Jenkins came on the scene" Len witness | asked him. He examined the mare and had seen the mare moved before. iA-lt- Jenkins advised them to kill the mare. 1fother and son said they had never worked the mare. There "1ere hundreds of people albout. —-Ernest- Jenkins, vet. surgeon, Llan- dilo, said that on the 23rd of August he examined the mare. She was suffering as described already. She Mas too lame to travel. It would cause her great pain. It was of long standing.—By Mr J W. Bishop: He had seen the mare earlier in the day, and toild the man not to ride it. After being in the staible for isome time she could not be Morse than in the morning. It had ibeen no improvement keeping her in the stable. He just moved her a little not to cause her pain. He heard no one ask if she could be taken by train.—By the Clerk: She was incinalble. — By Mr Bishop: He knew of horses worked with side bones, but you sometimes got it without causing pain.—The defendant, Jos. Williams. Llandre, Llanclly, said he was the ron of Mrs Elizabeth Williams. They had lost a mare and foal at Easter. They bomght the other mare for ten guineas from Rees Davies, Llangyfedach. They had deci- ded to seH the mare. They worked her a few days 'before they brought her to Lhlll- .y,s they liet- to dilo she was una,hie to do her work. She was a bit stiff starting from Llanedy to Llandilo. She got lame this side of Llan- delbie and M alked her to Mr Griffiths, the farmer at Llandilo. He had made up hisI mind then not to offer her for sale, 'but to! take her to a stable. He thought to lead] her home and take her to grass.—By Col. Lloyd: His weight would not be much on her back although she was lame.—By Mr Bishop: They took he* down to the tanyard. His mother suggested she should be taken by train. —By Uunspeotor IWberts: Defendant was himself a. blacksmith. He knew the mare was dead lame. He did not stop at Llandelbie because he thought it was a shoe was wrong.—r J. W. Bishop for the defence, isaid he did not wish to defend a man who was cruel. The man had destroyed the mare and was therefore punished and if convicted would a.-rain ibe punishrd. He asked the Pencil t,) dismiss the case. or to deal with it as leniently as possiWe.—Mr J. W. Gwynne Hughes said they considered it a very bad case, and defendant would be fined £ 1 and costs £ 1 los. FURIOUS DRIVING. John Davit". Mount Pleasant, was cbargxl with furious driving.—Defen- dant s iid lie was only trottiuig a bit fast — P.G. riili said that at 5.40 .p.m. on the 20th u!t. he saw the defendant driving at a dangero'.i:: speed on the road. When witnes- saw him he was travelling at fifteen miles an hoar. Ho was going at 0 that rate round the corner by Llv.ynhelig.— Fined 5s and costs 7s Gd.—Col. Lloyd thought they had dealt very leniently with him. He might have killed some one. Ernest Owen, of the same place, was similarly charged. The offence was com- mitted at the same time.

Weather and the Crops. The Government crop reports assert of wheat that the position is less favourable than a month ago. So we should have imag- ined that after all wheat has attained Mithin 1 per cent, of an average is still the belief of surely a sanguine administration. What some of our readers may lie puzzled over is this accuracy M ithin 1 per cent. Barley is put by the Government at a full avenu™ Oats as 2 per cent, under average, and beans, at 2 per cent, over average; peas, like M'heat, are asounied to be 1 per cent. under average.

National Eisteddfod of Wales. MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Eisteddfod was held at the The Rev D. J. Thomas (vice-chairman) pre- Guikiha! on Friday the 9th inst.. at 9 p.m. sided. CHAIRMAN'S ILLNESS. A letter was read from the Rev T. H. Walters regretting his inability to, be pre sent it's he was indisposed. IS MR P. R. DANIEL DISQUALIFIED? The Secretary (Mr Portnell) said that he had heard that one of the members of the Musical Committee was preparing to con- duct a choir at the Eisteddfod. There was a rutle to the effect that no member of the Executive or of any sub-committee should act as conductor of any band or choir. He had called the attention of the chairman to it. and the chairman had recommended that he slwuM communicate with the member iu question. He had received a. letter from Mr P. R. Daniel, the member in question, who stated that lie believed" lie was now debarred from membership as he had not attended a certain number of meetings of the Com- mittee. He also begged to tender his resig- nation of membership. The Chairman: The situation is rather an awkward one. I presume that this gentle- man sat and was present when the subjects I were decided. The Secretary said that Mr Daniel was selected as a. co-opted member of the musical committee and consented to act as such. He was present when the list of subjects were considered and the adjudicators chosen. It had Ibeen decided some time ago that no member of a Committee should be allowed to resign after the list of subjects had been chosen. Mr Richards: Is it not in our power to dccKne to receive the resignation. Mr J. B. Arthur: Is it in our power to pre- vent him conducting a choir. What is our remedy if he persists. The Secretary read the rlifle which forbade members of the Executive "or of any sub committee" acting as conductors of choirs cr leaders of bands. Mr J. B. Arthur: I know that; but what is our position if he persists. Mr Richards said that they had no resolu- tion relating to the resignation of any member of the Executive. He knew that- if he remembered aright—the whole subject was discussed rather freely, but no definite decision was come to. If that were the case he saw no difficulty in refusing to consent to this resignation. If that were so, it would put the matter right at once. Rev A. F. Mills The only difficulty I see is that there might be a wrangle between the choirs. The Rev Griffith Thomas said that ibe question Mas Mhether they Mould not lose more by refusing to allow the choir to com- pete than by allowing them. The Chairman said that they had a rule, and it was no use having rules except they were carried out. Whether they accepted Mr Daniels' resignation or not, the fact re- mained that Irs name appeared in the books as a member of the Committee. The Rev W. D. Rowlands said that he had been under the impression that it was under- stood that if a member of the Committee M i>hed to compete he was to send in his resig- nation. Mr Oliver Jones asked if there were not; another resolution that any member of the Committee who missed three meetings was debarred from membership. lie Rev A. Fuller Mills moved that a small committee be appointed to see Mr P. R. Daniel about this matter. The Chairman I think that is the best suggestion. Mr 3. Lewi- seconded the proposal to appoint a small committee. Mr Ric hards: Is the Committee to have full powers ? Mr C1. Haydn Williams said that he was afraid that they could not get behind the miles and the fact of Mr Daniel's natne appearing osn the programme. He was afraid that they must ask Mr Daniel not to conduct a choir at the Eisteddfod. Mr Hiehards said that if they compro- mised this matter, it might lead to untold wrangling were they to consent to the resigna tion of this committee man. Many of the choirs might refuse to accept the adjudiea tion. He thought the best plan Mould be to refuse to accept the resignation and to inform Mr Daniel that he was unable to com- pete owing to the fact that he w as a member oi the Committee. Mr J. B. Arthur seconded this proposition. Rev G. A. Edwards said that they had a definite rule which prevented anyone who had had a hand in the formation of the pro- gramme from competing. Mr Daniel had had a hand in cheesing the adjudicators and iu selecting the subjects. There was no need to refer the matter to a eommitttce. Mr T. Conwil Evans said that lie M IS afraid that they were going against their own interests in preventing this gentleman bringing a choir here from Llandilo. He did not see what injury it would do if lIe brought a choir there after having attended one or two meetings of the Musical Sub- Committee. Did they think that his pre- sence there with the choir Mould prevent others coining? The mnre the merrier. If all the leaders in South Wales knew it, it Mould not make any difference. They had more confidence in the adjudicators than tint. Mr W. Jone-, said that Mr Daniel was bringing a choir from Carmarthen. Mr Portnell (Secretary) read a letter from Mr Daniel in which the latter said that he was bringing a choir from Llandilo to take part in the second choral competition. Mr W. Jones said that a meeting had been held at Priory st. School, Carmarthen, the other evening, at whih it was decided to form a party with Mr Daniel as leader. •Mr J. Howell Davies asked if it were not a detail whether they accepted the resig ia- tiofii or not. Was the question not M'hethcr Mr .Daniel was now disqualified in any event. The Chairman said that he thought it more judicial to appoint a committee "to go into the case than tn pass a resolution in ) liiiii-i-ied way. The Rev A. Fuller Mills said that the chairman had expressed his views exactlv. It ii-oiild be advisable to proceed on con- ciliatory lines. They kne w how touchy choirs and conductors are. He thought it would be better to appoint a committee to see Mr Danie,.1 and to show him that he Moufld he contravening the rules by conducting a choir at this Fl Rev G. A. Edwards said that to appoint a committee to deal with the matter argued the possibility of their breakt ig the rule, There was no getting aw ay from the fact, and the committee which they appointed could come to no other decision. The Chairman said that the .vub-committee could consider the he-t way of cariying out the rules. There a j'tdicious way of carrying out the rules and a way whidl might be injudiicous. Rev G. A. Edwards said that the Executive Committee conlhl decide now on the most judi iou: way of carrying out the rules. Mr Richards s-aid that he would not like Mr Daniel to think that they had dealt with the matter hurriedly. It was decided by l-~> votes to o t., inform Mr Daniel that he couJd not conduct a choir at the Eisteddfod. AN APPEAL TO SINGERS. M r T. Conwil said that they M'ou.'d want as many singers as po-sd>!e to form all Eisteddfod -choir. He thought that they ought to appeal to local singers not to form choirs t com.ptee at the Eisteddu'cd as that might weaken the Eisteddfod choir. He moved that they nirke such an appeal. This proposition was. -seconded by )1.. W. Jones, and carried unanimously. LITERARY PRIZES. Rev (I. A. E h\ aids. B.A.. on behah of the Literary Committee, stated that a few prizes had been slightly jWNa-cd in vine, and this was agreed to THE EISTEDDFOD CHOIH. The report of the Musical Committee showed that Air and Mr Baxter Brcokrs had been to conduct the Eis tedd od c'r ir. Mr W. 1011-14 said that he tho-ight :t st.-t->d that th > gentlemen w ere to ''ti"lin" the el, irs. It he 1 been u::der- f.tc.ed 11. thought that Mr Harry Evans and Mr C :L ridge Taylor were to c.nd".ct tho choirs. THE PROGRAMME. Mr Portnell, the general secrcetary. re- ferred to the work of getting out the pro- gramme. He thanked the Rev G. A. Ed- wards for the assistance he had given him ;n revising the list of subjects, and also in pre- paring the Welsh list of subjects. He also expressed his thanks to Mr J. R.

Heads Masses of Eiuptions. "About a year ago one of our girls came home from Fraserburgh ivhce she had been for two months. Shewas covered all over with red spots which were very itching and we had never se("I anything like this before. We tried all kinds of remedies that we could get but she got no better. Now this girl was only eleven years old. We had three girls and the other two girls were affected, a! o. One of the latter had a very bad case, extending all through to the hair of her head. around hack of neck and back of tier ears were in a m:1SS of raw flesh. This girl was between eight and nine years of age. Thoy were all in a mass of eczema all over their head, under the hair and on the necks. We thought we were not to get a cure, as we had tried all the other remedies including ointments of different kinds. "Finally I saw an advertisement of the Cuticura Remedies for eczema. I bought some Cuticura and as soon as the Cuticura Ointment was applied we saw a big difference in the a] pearauce of the disease. In two days' time the sorts looked cleaner and com- menced to heal and by thre3 months all three of my girls were completely cured. I can truthfully say that Cuticura is i safe and permanent cure, as all my children hive never had the slightest return of eczema. AYe only used two boxes of Cuticura Oint- ment.
