MERTHYR COUNTY COURT. THURSDAY, August 28th.—Before His Honor, Judge Williams, Q.C. ADMINISTRATION ORDER. — Thomas Hooper, journeyman shoemaker of Merthyr, applied under the Bankruptcy Act of last year for an admini- stration order. The debtor's liabilities amounted to £ 48 12s., and he stated that for some time past he had been too ill to work, and it would be necessary for him to go into an infirmary to have an operation performed. Since he had been unable to follow his employment he had only bad 12s. weekly coming in from a club, and out of this he had to maintain not only himself, but a wife and child. He attributed his inability to pay his debts to failure in business whilst can- ducting a public house, w-hich he had held under Mr. Jones, of the Ironbridge brewery.—His Honour said that before the new Act was passed the rich man, or the man who occupied a good position, was able to get ni of his liabilities easily, whereas the poor man, once he got into debt, was haunted by judgment summonses, and was persecuted to such an extent that he had no peace or rest. This Act had at last come to interfere for his benefit, and it placed him on the same footicg as the rich man. If he could not pay his debts, and had nothing to depend upon but his weekly wages, the judge must take the whole matter into consideration, and make such an order as he thought the circumstances would warrant. In this case he (the judge) had come to the conclusion that the man had proved himself to be entitled to the protection of the Act, and he would make an order for the pay- ment of the debts at the rate of 63. per month, which order would be suspended until the appli- cant had returned to his work. ACTION FOR TRESPASS AGAINST A POLICEMAN. -p.e. Hopkins, 35 G., stationed at Merthyr Vale, was sued by a man named Williams for damages in respect of trespass.—Mr. A. P. James appeared for the plaintiff, and in laying the facts of the action before the judge, stated that on the 23rd May last from information received the constable walked into plaintiffs house with- out a search warrant; asked a few questions; went into the kitchen and turned over a few things, and insisted upon the plaintiffs wife pro- ducing some slippers and taking oft' her boots. After this had been done he walked out.—It appeared that the reason for the constable's going there was that information had been given to him by a man named David Owen that he had lost some garden produce, and the constable suspected the plaintiff.-The Judge, without calling upon the defendant to .explain his con- duct, said that this was a wretched case. There was nothing in it whatever. The policeman had a right to inquire into the circumstances (Of a crime, and he must be protected by the law when he was within the limits of his duty. In this case be (the judge) did not see that defen- dant had done anything wrong: He was only trying to find out who was the perpetrator of a theft, if theft there was, and he was simply discharging his duty with that view. There was, therefore, no blame attached to the police at all. At the same time it was the law of the land that policemen should not enter a house against the will of the occupier to search and examine it without a proper warrant of authority. Hopkins had violated that law, for it was con- trary to the will of the people of the house that he went in and made the search but, really, it was very justifiable. He should merely give the smallest damages against him. He would mark his recognition of the law by giving judgment for Gd. without costs.

MERTHYR BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The usual weekly meeting of this Board, on Saturday, was presided over by 11: R. H. Rhys (chairman), the other members of the Board present being the Rev. A. Davies and Messrs. W. Bell, D. P. Davies, Howell Jones, Wm. Jones, David Davies, Thos. Thomas, J. Richards, T. Jenkins, J. Gabe, T. Williams (Gwaelodygarth), M. Truran, and T. Williams (Gellifaelog).-The minutftS cf the previous were read and confirmed. OUT-DOOR RELIEF.—The-PAV-CLERK reported that the out-relief granted during the previous week had been as follows :-Aberdare, £56 ISa. 5d. Gelligaer, X22 2s. 7d.; Merthyr Upper, £ 62 3s. 4d. Merthyr Lower, 947 Os. Id. non- settled, £ 1 14s. total, ftS9 18s. 5d. THE PROPOSED SYPHILITIC WARD. The CHAIRMAN said that on Monday last, he re- ceived a letter from Mr. Bircham, asking him to » meet Mr. Smith, the architect of the Local Government Board at the Workhouse, on Fri- ritwith reference to the qucstiuu vi the pro- -ward for syphilitic cases. He complied wjth the Invitation, and the result of the inter- view was that the architect expressed himself satisfied that the site was a proper one. It was suggested by Mr. Smith that they should add another wing to the present infirmary, but he told him that that was out of the question, inasmuch as the cost would be so great that the Board would not entertain it for a moment. The architect, however, required some altera- tiors in the plan which had been prepared by Mr. Roderick. The windows shewn in the plan would, according to scale, be only 2ft. Gin. square, and this was absurd. He had arranged with Mr. Smith to put down in writing what- ever alterations he would suggest in the plan, and when they had got his report, they would get Mr. Roderick to make a fresh plan embody- ing such alterations. THE INFIRMARY NupsEs.-The Board then proceeded to the election of two nurses —one for the female side and the other for the male side of the infirmary; the salary attaching to the position of each being 125 per annum. Four candidates, who had been selected to appear before the Board, presented themselves to the guardians; their names being :—Mrs. Sarah Williams, B block Hospital, Cardiff; Mrs. Annie Evans, of Dowlais, and late of the Cardiff Union Hospital, and Miss Alice B. Jones and Miss Rose C. Morris, both of the Rochdale Intirmary. The testimonials of all four were highly satisfactory but, certainly, the best were prpduced by Miss Jones. When her interview with the Board took nlace. she at once announced that she would not accept one of the positions unless her companion was elected to the other, and so vice versa with Miss Morris, and Miss Jones even went so far as to intimate that if they were both appointed, and one had occasion at any period to leave, the other would go at the same time.—The Board considered that such an arrangement as this was open to considerable objection, and in case of the dual appointment would lead to much inconvenience. They, therefore, decided to elect Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Annie Evans. The quartette of candidates had their second class return railway fare allowed them, and the CHAIRMAN' adminiateied a gentle rebuke to the elder of the Rochdale latlits for not having expressed in the letters written by them apply- ing for the situations the determination upon which they had agreed. A COMPLAINT.—Mr. RICHARDS said that about a fortnight ago between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening he saw one of the boys from the Aberdare Industrial School going into a public house with a basket of empty bottles under his arm. He wished to ask whether that was part of the children's industrial training. He thought that if the officers wanted bottled beer or anything in that way they should order it themselves aud have it sent to the school, because boys would learn to drink soon enough without being sent to puHic houses. He had been told that they were employed at this work frequently.—Mr. THOMAS alleged that Mr. Richards in bringing this matter forward was animated by an unkind feeling towards Mr. Williams, the superintendent of the school but Mr. RICHARDS warmly resented the imput- ation, saving that he had no ill feeling against Mr. Williams whatsoever.—The CHAIRMAN thought there would not have been much harm in it if the boy had been sent with the bottles earlier in the evening, but he felt that it was hardly right that he should have been sent out at the time of night indicated. It was resolved that the matter should be considered by the School Committee. ,STATISTICS. -The number of inmates in the house at the end of last week was 189 as against 208 in the corresponding week of last year, and the number of children in the Aber- dare school at the same time was 114 as against 135, 68 of whom were receiving industrial training.—This was all the business.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS.-Old Wounds, Sores, and Uleels.-Daily experience confirms the fact which has triumphed over opposition for more than forty years—viz. that no means are known equal to Holloway's remedies', for curing bad legs, sores, wounds, diseases of the skin,' erysipelas, abscesses, burns, scalds, and, in truth, all cases ¡ where the skin is broken. To cure these afftrmities quickly is of primary importance, as the eompulsary con- finement indoors weakens the general health. The ready means of cure are found ill Holloway's Ointment and Pills, I which heal the sores and expel their cause. In the very worst cases the Ointment has succeed in effecting a perfect cure, after every other means has failed of giving any relief. Desperate cases best display its virtues.

SKETCHES IN THE POLICE COURTS. CASE I.—DRUNK AND ASSAULTING THE POLICE. As the business of the court commenced five personages, who from the extraordinary differ- ences in their features were considerably inter- esting, stood before the Bench. Mike Connor, alicts "Shindy," Patsy Blake, Honora Jackson, Samson Jackson, her loid and master, and Mary McCarthy were the distinguished nomen. clatures, portions of which they became entitled to at their baptism. The defendants were all charged with being drunk and riotous, and an additional charge of assault on the police was also preferred. The constable said that in the whole course of his long career as an officer of the law (and he had served the Queen in blue coat and shining buttons, man and boy, for thirty years), he had never come acrcss a case in which the offenders deserved heavier punishment, than that before the court. He was, he said, engaged on his beat about midnight, when he heard loud screams emanating from an alley, and proceeding thither he saw Jackson and his wife engaged in a scuffle. The woman was uttering piercing and agonizing cries, and the officer, fearing the man was mur- dering her, proceeded to release her from the' iron grasp of her lord and master. No sooner, however, had he approached than the defendant, Patsy Blake, advanced and asked the officer" with most impudent impertinence" who in the name of "Old Nick had told him to interfere. The Cfficer, with the astuteness for which he was noted, gave the defendant Blake a laconic exposition of the law relating to interference with the police while in the execu- tion of their duty, but this bit of friendly advice did not have the desired effect. Blake laughed sneeringly in the officer's face, and Mary McCarthy, amid the "grins of the bystanders," asked "if his mother knew he was out." Witnesa was about to repel this monstrous insult to the dignity of a sacred satellite of the law, when Patsy Blake made sundry references to a boss-eyed flabbergaster, blue-nosed cuss, and a blanket-chested dummy, which, as far as the officer could discover, related to him. Feeliug that immediate and severe measures should be taken to prevent a riot, which was evidently brewing, he "stretched forth his hand" to seize the defendant, Patsy Blake, when there was what appeared to be a clap of thunder and a vivid flash of lightning, and a thousand stars danced before his eyes. He thought the heavens had fallen, and set about saying his prayers. Then he felt his whiskers being dragged out by the routs, and as soon as the stars had one by one hid behind a canopy of clouds he opened his eyes, and iound Mary McCarthy with her hands in his hair, tugging as if she meant to have his scalp otf. He stood it for a moment or two, but then lost his temper, and sprang to his feet intending to be revenged. I The earth, however, seemed to have suddenly heaved into an incline, and he again found him- self lying on his back. His next reminiscence of the dreadful night I was being a factor in the most terrible conflict that had happened, he was certain, since the battle of Waterloo. Hands, legs, and heads seemed to be flying about dancing the most fan- tastic jigs in mid-air, and the skies rained a per- fect shower of hair. The shrieks of women, too, were something terrible, and seemed to rend the canopy of space. The melee was too much for him he tainted, and awoke to find himself in the police- station with a nose swollen to the size of a I pumpkin, and coloured like a lobster, and an eye sporting colours from the loveliest yellow to the most nubian black. All the defendants, lie swore, had participated I in the attack upon him, and the only wonder was that he (the officer) was alive to tell the tale. Mercy on us exclaimed the clerk of the court, at the conclusion of the officer's story. land"' Sava^es t*lere are even in civilized Eug- /,JFare y°u any questions to put, Shindy'" asked the Bench. "Ay, saving yer rivereuces' presence. Did ye see me spake a wurd, hofficer ?" )Co. used disgustful language, sir." I did ?" You did." 1 you ever hear the loikes of that, now? i'br honours, I never opened my mouth from the toime I arrived on the sane till the time I was taken to the perleece-station. The only wurd I spaked was to tell the hotiicer to Shut up, and let his tongue rest." "Yon also struck me, sir." I struck you The Lord love you, I r.ever rose a hand agin you. I only separated you from the woman, as ye were nearly a-pulling to paces." "Have you any question to ask Jackson?" enquired the Bench, addressing the second de- fendant. Question, beggora I'll not waste breath on the spalpeen." "Nor I, the blackguard," said Patsy, indig- nantly. ° The woman, however, made up for the taci- turnity of their male companions, and such a questioning, and cross-questioning, and re-ques- tioning ensued, such a contradiction and cross- coutradiction of everything he said, that when the officer was released from his position in the witness-box, he heaved a sigh of relief, and wiped beads of perspiration from his manly fore- head. The Bench decided in favour of the officer, but the decision was met by a fierce clamour from the occupants of the dock. You will be fiued 10s. and costs each," said the Bench, entering judgment in the book, "Ten shillings and costs," said Shindy. "Ten shillings and costs," repeated Jackson, of the masculine gender. "I'll never pay a grain," exclaimed Patsy Blake. J "I'll spake to the Quane about it," whined Honora Jackson. "And I'll see what the Pope 'ill say, see if I don't," concluded Mrs. McCarthy. "If you don't pay," explained the Bench with a sigh of resignation, you will have to undergo the alternative of 14 days' impri- sonment." "I'll go to gaol," said Shindy, and bad cess to yer. "So'll I yer mean livered cusses," said Sammy Jackson. And I yer reptiles," followed Patsy Blake. "I'll be hung before I pay," cried Junima Jackson. And 111 see yer in (Dowlais) before ye get any money out of me," shouted Marv McCarthy. The removal of the prisoners was accom- ) plished with considerable difficulty, and it was a not before the Bench had been addressed by the choicest epithets imaginable; not before the officer had been threatened with torments, the mere mention of which was enough to make his hair stand on end, that the party was success- fully lodged in the cells.

MONMOUTHSHIRE AND SOUTH WALES COLLIERIES' ASSOCIATION. Mr. Wm. Gascoyne Dalziel, the secretary, supplies the following :-A meeting of the Car- diff District Board, in connection with the Monmouthshire and South Wales Collieries' Association, was held at the Angel Hotel, on Saturday. Mr. Richard Cory presided, and there were among those present—Messrs. 11-in. Thomas (Bryn AWt,), R. Bedlington, E. l. Hann, W. W. Wood, tc. The principal busi- ness was to consider a dispute which had arisen in the seven-feet seam of th Middle Duffryu Colliery. The men have beeu working under a month's notice, which expired that day. Inquiries into the details of the dispute had been made by Mr. William Thomas, of Bryn Awel, Aberdare, acting on behalf of the association, who met Mr. Hann, on behalf of the company, and Mr. David Morgan, the representative of the workmen. The result was reported to the present meeting. The men had agreed, pending the decision of the Coalowners' Association, to work for another fortnight on the old terms. After a discussion, it was resolved that Mr. Thomas should again meet the workmen's repre- sentatives and the colliery officials, and make further enquiries. It is stated that the dispute has reference to the cutting price of the seven- foot seam, and only a small number of men are affected. The only other business was to admit the Diamant Llantwit Colliery into the associa. tion as members for the proprietors' Cwmglo Colliery, Bedwas.

The haulier rephed, "Behind." He then saw Davies, who had a hook in his hnd, and asked him if he had obtained authority t. cut the. fern. He said a farmer had told him to. Witness found the fern, which was worth 6s., hadbeen cut from the Dowlais Company's land. Eefendant said that as other persons had taken femfrom this spot he did not think he was doing wrmg in taking a load also.-The Stipendiary said hat defendant had been guilty of a very cool proceeding and as wilful a piece of trespass as could fove been com- mitted.

BETHEL-STREET SQUABBLES.—12 l\.j)NTHS' SOCBL WARFARE. -Ti inotti v M'Carthy wagsummoned for assaulting Michael Brian on the 23ri August, and also with wilfully damaging a wirdow, his pro- perty Michael Brian was also sunmoned for as- saulting Johanna M'Carthy, and Mary Brian, his wife, was summoned for wilfully danaging Johanna M'Carthy 3 wiiidow.Nlr Beddot appeared for the M Carthys.—In the case of Michael Brian v. Timothy M'Carthy, complainant said he lived at 17, Bethel-street, Merthyr. Difendant lived opposite to him. On the 23rd of August, about 11 o'clock, while complainant was in bed, he heard a stone "smash through the window. Complainant put on his clothes ard went to the door. When he got outside he saw defendant who threw a stone at him which struck him on the head. Defendant's mother also struck him down with a poker. He knew nothing more.—Cross- examined by Mr. Beddoe Cannot account for the stone being thrown. I did not come out with a poker in my band. I did not strike defendant with anything nor his mother. I did nothing to her. I did not pull his mother by the hair. All my brains and senses were knocked out (laughter). —Complainant's wife here produced a shirt with some stains of blood on it, which the Stipendiary facetiously suggested might have been the missing brains.—Complainant in further cross-examination said nine panes of glass had been broken, two stones having been thrown. The damage done he estimated at 10s.—David Morgan, called by com- plainant, said that on the 23rd August, about 11.30 p.m., he saw defendant throw two stones through the window of complainant's house, and heard him cry out Come out, Big Mike." Defendant also tried to get into complainant's house, but the door was locked. A third stone was thrown at the window. Witness subsequently went into com- plainant's house and told him what he had seen. They then went out together, and "Big Mike" asked defendant and the others why they had attacked his house, when defendant threw a stone which struck him on the temple, and Mrs. M'Carthy struck him down with a poker. Com- plainant bled like a pig, and witness took him into his house where he stayed until next morning. The police arrived shortly after the assault had taken place, and Sergt. Bell saw the injured man. —Cross-examined by Mr. Beddoe Will swear that complainant did not strike defendant, his brother, nor his mother. Complainant fell in consequence of the blow with the stone, and Mrs. M'Carthy struck him with the poker while he was on the ground. Mrs. iNi Carthy was attended by a medi- cal man that night. She complained that com- plainant* had struck her with a poker.—Ellen Welsh, a neighbour, gave corroborative evidence, and explained that the row first started with Mrs. Brian and Mrs. M'Carthy.—Elisha Davies also supported complainant's testimony, and complained that he had failed to obtain peace and quietness in this locality for the past 12 months. Before that time "they could hear a pin drop." The women in this street were lately quarrelling from top to bottom," and there were nothing but rows there.— Joseph Henry Samuel, 23, John-street, George- town, called for the defence, said that on Saturday night week he was returning from Heolgerrig and going down Bethel-street. When near the Mount Pleasant he saw a crowd of people. Subsequently he saw Mrs. Brian throw an iron stand through Mrs, M'Carthy's window. Timothy M'Carthy then came out and his mother after him. "Big Mike came out with a poker in his hand, and he struck Mrs. M'Carthy to the ground and caught her by the hair. James M'Carthy pushed Brian away and took his mother intu the house. Brian then rushed on to Timothy and tried to strike him with the poker. James M'Carthy then struck Brian with his fist. Did not see Mike on the ground.—Brian: It is all false, your worship.— Timothy M'Carthy, in support of the summons taken out by his mother, said that Mike assaulted his (Timothy's) mother and himself, and Mrs. Brian threw aiiiiron stand through the window. He did not throw a stone at Brian nor break the window of his house. Brian broke his own win- dow.—Johanna M'Carthy spoke as to the manner in which Brian assaulted her. The damage done to the window of her house amounted to Is. 6d. She did not strike Brian with a poker.—Eleazer Lloyd, of the Mount Pleasant, Bethel-street, called by Brian, deposed to seeing Mrs. M'Carthy with a poker in her hand.—The Stipendiary said that each of the witnesses contiadicted each other, and that it was impossible with such a diversity in the evi- dence to arrive at a just conclusion he would, therefore, dismiss the summonses for wilful damage, and bind each party over on the other summonses for 12 months in a sum of £ 10. THEFT OF A PORK PIE AT MEP.THYR.—Nicholas Cahill, 14 years, was charged with stealing a pork pie, the property at David Wilde, manager of the Victoria-street, Coffee Tavern, Merthyr, on the iJOjh of August.—Susannah Davies, waitress, said that on Saturday night last prisoner entered the colxee tavern when they were very busy, and took a pork pie from a plate on the counter.

CEFN. DEATH OF THE VICAR OF WHITCHURCH, SOLVA.-On the night of Thursday in last week the Rev. Rees Williams, vicar of Whitchurch, [ died, after six months' illness, at his vicarage, near Solva, at the age of forty-five years. The deceased gentleman was the only son of the late Rev. Rees Williams, rector of Vaynor, Merthyr Tydfil. He was educated at St. David's College, Lampeter, where he passed an exceptionally suc- cessful career; he was senior scholar and Creaton essayist of his time, and was a prizeman in Hebrew, theology, classics, mathematics and natural science; he was ordained deacon in 1862 and priest in 1863, and took the degree of B.D. in 1869. His first duties as a cler- gyman were performed in the parish of Llangoedmore. He was appointed to the vicarage of Verwick and Mount, in 1862, and at the same time he was appointed Head Master of Cardigan Grammar School. His work in connection with the Grammar School bore good fruit, all the boys who were under his tuition having been most successful in the pro- fessions they have adopted. In 1874 he was preferred to the vicarage of Whitchurch with St. Elvis, which living, it will be seen, he had held for ten years at .the time of his death. The reverend gentlemen was very highly res- pected in his parish generally, and by his con- gregation he was deeply and sincerely beloved. Ill-health and severe family afflictions had inter- fered greatly with his pastoral work, but despite these adverse conditions he succeeded in doing a great deal of good amongst his parishioners. He ministered earnestly amongst the poor, and he very often robbed himself to relieve the necessities of others amongst the poor, there- fore, his death is greatly lamented. His mortal remains were interred at Whitehurch on Mon- day last, the funeral being largely attended by his parishioners and by many from more distant parts. The Rev. Canon Lewis read and prayed at the house the Rev. Canon Williams (Llan- elly) read the burial service at the Church, and the Rev. Canon Lewis read the service at the grave.-Fi-om the "Pembroke Countj iGuardian," August 23.

IMPORTANT WAGES CASE AT ABER- DARE. At the Aberdare police court, on Tuesday, John Williams, a collier, working at Penrhiwceiber, was summoned by another collier named Nicholas I Wright for £1 Is. balance of wages due to him. There was also a summons against Wright taken o"t.by Mpaoro. Cn^ v„«» Co., owners of the colliery, by winen £ 2 damages was claimed from plainJ.iff for leaving his work without noticc. Mr. plainJ.iff for leaving his work without notice. Mr. T. Phillips appeared for Wright, and Mr. W. Simons represented the company.—Mr. Phillips, in opening the case, said that in the month of February last Nicholas Wright commenced work- ing with a collier named John Williams as partner, his former companion in the stall, a workman named Eyles, having left. Williams engaged Wright at the weekly wages of 18s., which defeu- dant paid regularly until nearly the end of June. Towards the end of June the stall in which they were engaged became exhausted, and Wil- liams intimated to Wright that as he had no other place to take him to he should leave at the end of the week. On the 28th June the stall was finished and Wright in the following week left the work and went to the Rhondda Valley. On the 5th July, being pay day, he returned to Penrhiwceiber and made application at Williams's house for the wages due to him. Williams was not at home, but his wife gave Wright los. 6d., and said that Is. was due to the fund^lid. was forfeited in respect of a lamp glass, and that the balance of one guinea had been stopped for some reason at the office of the colliery. The defence set up the company, Mr. Phillips said, was, he supposed, that his client left work without notice, and that they were consequently entitled to withhold the money. But his contention was that as between Wright and the company there was no privity of contract, and his client had a right to leave the colliery indepen- dent of any arrangement between John Williams and the colliery owners. Wright was not paid by the company. He received no money at the office, Williams being the person who engaged and re- munerated him for all work done. Mr. Simons, however, said that notwithstanding that, Wright could not leave the' colliery without giving a month's notice. If that v\fks so, why was a part of the wages paid ? And there was this also to be said, that although his client left the colliery on the 28th June no summons was taken out by the company against him until the 11th of August, while Wright had on the 2nd of August instituted procee.iinga against Williams. The following evi- dence was then given ISicholas Wright said he was a collier and now worked at Coedcae in the Rhondda Valley. In February last he made an engagement with Williams to work at the Pen- rhiwceiber colliery at 18s. per week. He worked in a stall with Williams. He coutinued to work for him until the 28th June. A week before the stall was exhausted Williams said he would finish in the course of seven days. On the 28th June the coal in the stall became exhausted, and Williams told Wright that he had no where else for him to gn. Witness then sought work in the Rnondia Valley. On the 5th July, pay day, he returned to Williams's house at Penrhiwceiber, and was paid 13s. 6d. by his wife, who explained that is. had been stopped for ths fund, 6d. for a glass, and the guinea had for some reason been withheld at the office. He took the guinea and went back home. Had never been paid at the office. On the 20th July he went to the office in compliance with Williams's directions and inquired of the overman named I hilip Jones if any money had been kept back from him. Jones referred to the book aud said that no money had been stopped. He could not get his money, and on the 2nd of book and said that no money had been stopped. He could not get his money, and on the 2nd of August lie took a summons out for this guinea, and a fortnight afterwards, on the 11th, he was served with a summons from the company for leaving lii, work without notice.—Mr. Simons proposed amal- gamating the cases and making the evidence giv-en in one do in the two cases.-This was assented to, and Mr. Simons, in speaking in support of the summons taken out by the company, said that all men working in the colliery were engaged by the colliery owners or officers of the colliery, and they were found working places by the colliery agents. Care was taken, as far as practicable, to cause a some- what unskilled man to work with a man thoroughly competent, as that was an only means of safety. Men became skilled by experience, and it was neces- s,i-,y for the protection of the workmen that the master of the stall should, at all events, under- stand the nature of the seam. It was true that in the modern system of working coal very little (f the old colliers' skill was required, but there was a skill in which the colliers provided for the security of the working places, and carried the work on in accordance with the rules. The plaintiff had been put to work with a person named Eyles, and it was found that they were not sufficiently skilled to work the stall together. They were consequently separated, and Eyles was to have been put in another place to work, but he did not return to his duties next morning. A man named John Wil- liams was put on with Wright, and they made an arrangement between them, by which the plaintiff should he paid by Williams at the rate of 18s. per week. It was a matter of indifference to the com- pany what the men arranged among themselves, as they (the company) had to pay for the work done in the first place. Wright was admitted into the ¡ colliery as the servant of the company, and could be placed by them in any part of the colliery. H was admitted into the workings under a contract made with the company, and he was paid by Williams because the men of the different stalls,- as a matter of convenience, arranged for the master hand to receive the money from the office in his- name-he to divide it afterwards amongst them. This was the common practice in all the collierks in the neighbourhood, and the question at issue affected thousands of men. Mr. Simons then called. Philip Jones, who said he was the overman at the- colliery. On the 25th of January Wright came to. him and asked for work at cutting coal. Witness replied, Yes, I'll find you work," and explained to him the usual terms. He then described Wright. in the colliery book; Wright afterwards said, "I know of a 'butty,' and are you willing for me to go to him." The companion he referred to was Eyles. He (witness) consented to allow him to work with Eyles, and Wright did so. In a short time witness discovered that Eyies and Wright were not proper persons to have complete charge of a stall, and he separated them, EyIes- being removed elsewhere, and John Williams taking his place. Wright and Williams then worked on, but at the end of June Wright, without giving notice, left, and he (witness) did not see him for three weeks afterwards. The stall was worked for a fortnight after Wright had left. —In cross-examination by Mr. Phillips, witness, said that Williams received the money, and arranged with Wright what he should pay to him; and if Williams took the money away, the company would not pay Wright.—The Stipendiary: That looks as if Wright made a contract with Williams.—-John Davies, the fireman, said that he called Philip Jones's attention to the desirability of some one instead of Eyles working in the stall for the safety of the place, and Williams was appointed as master of the stall. Every workman in the colliery was required by the regulations to give a month's notice.—John'Williams said that Wright had left without telling him (Williams) of his intention. A man was put on during Wright's. absence. They kept a sovereign back at the office- in consequence of Wright leaving without notice. Witness received the ordinary wages from the I office, and agreed with Wright to pay him 3s. per day. Wright was a workman of the company.— Mr. William Bevan, manager of the colliery, said that it was one of the usages in the collieries of the neighbourhood that a month's notice should ha given on either side-the employers and employed. Every man employed at the colliery was a work- man of the company. The agents of the colliery- appointed every place where the men had to work, and whoever the men might be they were paid the' standard wages. For convenience only, a number was used in respect of eath stall, and as many as three or more men might work under the number.. It a man working in a stall was not satisfied with his place of work, other stalls were found for him. It was customary for the men to divide the wages between them. There were hundreds, of men employed in this way in the colliery. Nobody but the officers of the colliery had a right, to employ a man to work in the colliery. The company paid for the work Wright did to Williams.—Mr. Simons Did you pay Williams for all the work done.—Mr. Bevan We did, sir. —The Stipendiary: What about the £ 1?—Mr. Simons: You know very well I did not mean to include that.—The Stipendiary Upon my word, I don't know what you mean.—Mr. Simons Then all I can say is that you ought."—The Stipendiary I don't know why I I)L,bt." -A.,r- Simons As a gentleman you ought. You will drive me to say something shortly for which I shall be sorry.—The Stipendiary I should not wish to make you say anything improper, I am sure.—Several laconic passages of arms of & similar character took place between the Bench and Mr. Simons during the progress of the case, and at the conclusion of the evidence, the .tipendiary- found as a fact that Wright was not employed by the company, and no notice was 'required on his part to terminate an imaginary contract. Williams was responsible for the wages owing to Wright,, and he gave his decision in favour of the plaintiff for the amount claimed with costs, and upon the second summons he gave a verdict for Wright with costs and solicitor's fee. The case created considerable interest.
