U ppep Rhondda Police Court.
U ppep Rhondda Police Court. Monday.—Before the Stipendiary (Mr. Arthur Lewis), Alderman Richd. Lewis, Alderman Wm. Morgan, Messrs. T. P. Jenkins and J. D, Williams. DISTURBERS OF THE PEACE. E. Mantle and Morgan Rees, Owmparc, were summoned for creating a disturbance by fighting on the public highway. Mantle's defence was that he was struck by Rees, and only acted the part of a Briton by retaliating. They were fined 5s. and 10s. respec- tively. A family quarrel led Wm. Abbott and Wm. Watkins to answer the charge of disturbing the peace at Gelli on Saturday night. The evidence of P.S. Baker was that at midnight on Saturday his attention was drawn to a quarrel between the parties, and he had great difficulty in preserving order. Defendants, who denied all the con- stable said, were fined 10s. each. WARNING TO STONE THROWERS. Two cases arising from the same basis were heard, in which the, too frequent practice in the district of throwing stones found practical illustration of the dangers attending the habit. George Hopkins, a youth of about 20, a stranger to Treherbert, hailing from Westbury, Somersetshire, answered to his name and was charged with doing grievous bodily harm to George Morgan Higgon, son of Mr. George Higgon, a member of the Pontypridd Board of Guardians, on the 19th inst. Evidence was given by the boy—who appeared in Court with his face plastered —that on the day named he, with other boys, were playing, and saw defendant, whom they teased, calling him mongrel" and other offensive names. He picked up a stone, and it hit witness in the face, causing serious injuries. The brother of the last witness, 10 years of age, corroborated this testimony. Defendant said he only acted on the defensive. The boys were teasing and annoying him, and he threw a stone to disperse them. The Stipendiary reduced the charge to one of common assault, and inflicted a fine of 30s., giving the man time to pay, as he only started work in the locality last Thursday. A charge of a, more serious nature was preferred against David Jones, banksman at the Old Pentre Pit, of doing grievous bodily harm to Charles Ney, a, collier-boy, by striking him with a stone on the 5th inst. The boy, who had his head bandaged, and gave his evidence with an emphasis that implied he was suffering from a sense of injustice, said he was passing through the yard at the pit mentioned with others. They came across a, piece of an old tram wheel, and commenced playing quoits with it. Thomas Davies, the engineer, told them to go away, and whilst in the act of doing so, witness stated he was struck by a stone and fell to the ground. He washed his head at a pool of dirty water, and then crawled home as best he could. Wm. Pett, Treorchy, deposed he was in company with the last witness, and the time between being ordered off the ground ana the stone hitting Ney was 9 seconds. The Stipendiary How did you fix the time ?—I thought it was that; I had not a, watch with me (laughter). James Watts, another of the trespassers, corroborated. Thomas Morgan, Llewellyn Street, Pentre, heard the boys being ordered away by the engine-driver, but as they took no notice, defendant (the banksman) picked up a stone and threw it in the direction of the boys. It struck the guide-rope and .rebounded before hitting Ney. Dr. Helsby described the wound. Mr. D. W. James submitted that the blow was an accident, and there was no intent to harm anyone; the stone was thrown to frighten the trespassers. The Stipendiary, as in the previous case, reduced the charge to one of common assault, and imposed a fine of £ 2 and costs. Mr. James intimated that any reason- able compensation would be given to the injured boy. PALTRY PILFERING. Jessie Davies was summoned for steal- ing lOlbs. of coal, valued at Id., from the Pentre Pit tip, the property of Messrs. Cory Bros. She was warned by the police to go away, but refused, and she was taken to the Police Station. She was ordered to pay a fine of 28.. Gel. PATERNITY. John Evans, a man 55 years of age, was summoned by Mary Ann Bowen to show cause, etc. Both parties live at Treher- bert. Plaintiff admitted she had had two illegitimate children by other men. Defendant stoutly denied the allegation made. He admitted that twelve years ago an order was made against him from which he would be free in another twelve months. He had not been married. An order was made of 2s. 6d. per week with costs. SEQUEL TO TREORCHY FAIR. AMOROUS SWAIN AND THE HAIR- PINS. A TELL-TALE ALMANACK. For four "hours in a heated and stuffy Court the love affairs of Elizabeth Jones, Treorchy, and D. J. Felton, Treherbert, engaged the attention of the Bench, and a large attendance of the public, mostly women and young girls. Elizabeth alleged that Felton was the putative father of her child, born in June this year. Mr. Jas. Phillips appeared for applicant, and Mr. Harold Lloyd defended. No sooner had Mr. Phillips opened, than the defendant, holding his hand forth, dramatically exclaimed It is a lie." The Stipendiary at once warned the man, and his advocate told him if he did not leave the case entirely in his hands, he would withdraw from it. The story Mr. Phillips had to tell was that his client was 18 years of age, and not 17, when the alleged misconduct took place. The parties met at Treorchy Fair in 1906 with other young men and women. They coupled off, and went for walks to- gether subsequently on several occasions. Then there was a "tiff," but friendly relations were resumed at the end of September, It was on the 1st and 2nd of October that defendant behaved im- properly. The only present he had given to the young girl was a penny packet of hairpins (laughter). Plaintiff said she lived at 83, Dumfries Street, Treorchy, with her mother, and corroborated the opening statement of her advocate.. Cross-examined by Mr. Harold Lloyd at to how she fixed the date, witness replieu that she had written it on the back of an almanack which was nailed up in the back kitchen at home. The Stipendiary thought this should be produced, and Mr. Lloyd concurring, P.C. Rowe went to Treorchy on his bicycle, and soon returned with the document. On examination, plaintiff's statement proved to be correct. A number of witnesses were called to prove having seen the couple together in Cemetery Road, Abergorchy Siding, the Swamp, the presentation of the hairpins, drinking small beer sitting on a window- sill at the house of the plaintiff's mother. A consultation then took place between Mr. Lloyd and his client, who elected to be sworn to give evidence. Before he commenced, his advocate pointed out to the Stipendiary he declined all respon- sibility for Felton's decision, as he under- stood the course he was about to take. He must take all responsibility himself. Felton, persisting, denied all the evi- dence given against him in toto, answer- ing Mr. Lloyd on all points that what the witnesses said was untrue, and the whole thing was a made-up story. This led the learned Stipendiary to point out the law as regarded perjury. Still the defendant persisted in his absolute denial of the statements made by six witnesses, who were only allowed into Court one by one. An order of 3s. 6d. a week was made, with costs and advocate's special fee (zC2 2s.) added.
Ponth Police Court.
Ponth Police Court. Thursday.—Before Mr. T. Pascoe Jenkins (chairman), Alderman W. H. Mathias, Messrs. David Smith, William Evans, and D. Thomas. IN FIGHTING MOOD. Wm. Edwards and J. Williams, colliers, Ferndale, were charged with creating a disturbance outside the Victoria Hotel, Duffryn Street. The evidence of P.C. DavietS proved that defendants were fighting in the middle of a crowd of about 200 people. He had great difficulty in separating the men and dispersing the gathering. Edwards stated that there had been a dispute about a dog, and in the row Wil- liams was the aggressor, he (witness) only ac^ng in self-defence. The Bench, believing him, dismissed the summons as far as he was concerned, Wil- liams, who did not appear; being; fined zCl. Another defendant pugilistically inclined was John Hughes, Ferndale, who on the 10th inst., after being ejected from the Victoria Hotel, issued a challenge to fight. He was fined £1 to cool his ardour. EXPENSIVE COAL. M. A. Martin was summoned at the instance of the Naval Colliery Company, Penygraig, for, it was alleged, stealing coal with her two children. Fined 5s. INEBRIATES. George Davies, collier, Wattstown, 15s. Mark Foster, Tylorstown, 5s. Thomas Smith, Blaenllechau, 15s. Rd. Jones, Mardy, 5s, Enoch Evans, Blaenllechau, 15s. John Owen, Ferndale, 10s. Hugh Lewis, Blaenllechau, drunk and chal- lenging to fight, 10s. MILK VENDOR HEAVILY FINED. Supt. Cole prosecuted, and Mr. Horatio Phillips defended Emrys Edwards, a milk- vendor, Tylorstown, who was summoned for selling milk with added water on June 24th. Supt. Cole stated that on the date named he purchased milk from defendant. He bought a quantity from a small can which contained about a quart and a half, and from a full can. After analysis, the first was found to have had 11 per cent. of water added, and in the second case 30 per cent. dilution. The defence set up was that the milk in the smaller vessel had been allocated to a baker, who knew its quality. This the police replied to by stating that the milk was bought in the ordinary way from a, cart. Fines of R2 and costs and £ 10 were imposed respectively. THEFT OF A WATCH. Elizabeth Lewis, of no fixed abode, was charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of Jane Owen, at Payne's Restaurant, Pontypridd, on the 10th inst, Prisoner sold it to Ellen Trueman, bar- maid at the New Inn Hotel, Pontypridd, for 4s, Lewis pleaded that the watch was given to her by a man named Joshua to enable her to buy fooå. Fined 10s. A BAD BEGINNING. Two schoolboys, T. J. Ttkins and Ed. Ridley, Penygraig, were placed in the dock charged with stealing two boxes from an outhouse belonging to Mr. Wm. Evans, grocer. The mothers of the boys seemed greatly distressed. The youthful defendants were bound over to come up for judgment if called upon.
Cardiff Empire.
Cardiff Empire. The Gothams next Week. The Gotham Comedy Quartet will be seen at Cardiff Empire next week. This celebrated comedy singing team recently hau the honour of appearing before their Majesties at Buckingham Palace. The Gothams have been engaged at the prin- cipal entertainment houses in the more important cities of the world, and conse- quently possess a fund of anecdote. The leader of the team vouches for the bona fides of the following yarn. He was pass- ing down South- Street, Perth, noted as being the Irish quarter of a, Scotch town, when he encountered two ladies of "the shawl brigade," one Scotch, the other Irish, who had commenced an "argument" in this style: — Es, Mistress Kelly, but hae ye no any ancestors? An' what's ancistorrs, if ye plaze, Mrs. McGlusgy P Why, folk ye hae sprang frae." Just listen to the cratur," returned Mrs. Kelly, furiously. I'll have ye know I come from the rale stock of Donahues, thot shpring from nobody. They shpring at thim, mam. Pat that in yer poipe ana schmoke ut! The Gotham listener passed on, and the ladies got to close quarters. The Erik Brothers, the Smythsons, Cull- Pitt, O'Malley and Brown, Frank Darwin, Gertrude Bradshaw, Lulu Russell, and the great Roland, the illusionist, are among others on the bill.

THE MYSTERY OF CLIFFCASTLE.
(Continued from page 7). payment she received, together with the pleasant relations she soon established with the other servants in the castle, speedily caused her to forget the momentary doubts she had once exDerienced. The baby had been christened Clara, and as time passed it gave all evidences of a healthy childhood. One warm summer evening Clarice entered the nursery after she had finished dinner, and laid to Janet: "I will take Clara for an hoar or two." "Thank you, Miss Clarice," the nurse answered, and tripped away to join her friends below stairs. I Clarice gathered the child to her breast, and went back into her own room. A moment later she reappeared, the baby still in her arms. She stepped into the corridor, and paused to lock her door behind her. Then she glanced about her, and afterwards walked down the stairs into the drawing-room, where she remained for a time with Mr. Tarnell before returning to the corridor. Somewhat later on this same evening Mrs. Brennie, leaving the nurse and maids to con- tinue their merriment in the kitchen, strolled out into the garden to get a whiff of the cool, salt air the night wind brought from the sea. As she innaled the fresh air, Mrs. Brennie reflected on her approaching marriage with ISkriggs, now only two months distant, and also on the mystery that surrounded her, and to which as yet she had secured no clue. "I'll know what it's all about when I'm married, or I'll know the reason why," she muttered, in a tone that augured ill for the future tranquillity of the devoted boiler. Yet it was her own deter- Urination nourished in secret that new in- fluenced Mrs. Brennie rather than any new causes for suspecting mysteries. Since she bad discovered her mistress's door locked, there had been nothing more calculated to excite attention. Indeed, the mystery that overhung the castle hardly revealed itself now. Mr. Tamell had regained much of his old manner, and his years lay on him hardly more heavily than was to be expected at his age. Skriggs displayed nothing worthy of particular con- sideration in his conduct. Miss Clarice was more like herself than at any other period Bince the death of her cousins. Even the ghosts seemed quieter. There had been scarcely a sound heard from the haunted wing, despite the waiting ears of the credulous; nothing supernatural had rewarded the fearful glances of late passers-by. As she thus reflected, Mrs. Brennie turned and scanned the old wing contemptuously. Even her "drefful nerves" could find no pretext for alarm in the quiet scene. The housekeeper stared at the black windows and wondered if, in truth, Skriggs was right, and she had been the victim of her own imagination the night she had fainted in the garden. "No," she decided, "I'll never believe, not till my dyin' hour, as how I didn't see nothin'. I did, an' I know 1 did, an' all the Skriggses in the world won't make me think no other." Suddenly Mrs. Brennie gave a start of amaze- ment. One of the windows on the second floor of the haunted wing was open. She rubbed her eyea-the thing was impossible. The window could not be opeq., Nevertheless, the window was open. Mrs. Brennie rubbed her eyes again, and ejaculated: "Well, I never did I" The housekeeper's first impulse was to run into Mr. Tarnell and give the alarm. Then she hesitated. If she were to tell her master that burglars had entered the house and were at that moment in the old wing, he would at once cause a search to be made. But that would require Mrs. Brennie to produce her keys of the wing, and those keys she bad not as yet been able to lay her hands on, though she bad hunted long and often. No, she would reveal her tender reliance on her lover by asking Skriggs's advice as to her line of conduct. She heard his voice in the kitchen and went to the open door. "Skriggs I she called. The butler turned and listened. "Come out here a minute. I want to say ■omethin' to you," she said. "Oh, I'll come," Skriggs replied, though not very ardently. And he shuffled to the door and down the steps, pursued by the titters of the maids, who were constantly edified by the love affairs of their elders. "Now, what is it, old lady ? Skriggs asked, when Mrs. Brennie And he were together in the garden. "Look there I she whispered, in great excite- ment, and pointed to the open window. She watched the man's face to see the effect of the discovery on him. But he remained absolutely impassive. "What is it? he asked. "That window I "What about that window ? "Why, it's open!/I The butler turned and looked his prospective bride full in the face. "Are you a-walkin' in your sleep ? Are you a-dreamin' with your eyes wide open? It seems to me, Mrs. Brennie, that you're in a bad way. Your nerves have got too many little tricks. If you's goin' to marry me, you've got to take care of your health. Now, you come right along with me to my pantry an' I'll give you a dash o' brandy an' water that maybe '11 clear the cob- webs out of your brain. Come along With the words he turned the woman about and started her towards the house. "But The housekeeper would have remonstrated. Skriggs, however, would not allow her to Ipeak. "Don't say a word," he commanded, sourly. "You ain't in no fit state to talk. You hurry up and get that brandy swallowed, or you might v faint again." At the suggestion, Mrs. Brennie suddenly found that she was a bit dizzy, and, full of alarm for her health, followed her adviser without further resistance. It was only after she had finished her glass that she ventured to say: "But I can believe my own eyes. That window was wide open." "Don't you dare to believe your own eyes," Bkriggs retorted, with asperity. "That window was shut tight. I can believe my own eyes, .cause why, I ain't got any nerves. Nerves is liars—no offence, Mrs. Brennie." Then he continued, tenderly "Don't you put your foot outside the house again to-night, my dear. You mustn't run risks with yourself. I can't have it." And Mrs. Brennie, much impressed with this fridence of the butler's devotion, promised fbedience to his wishes. (To be contintud.)
