Trevor Hunter appeared lor the prosecution. Sergeant Hole proved previous corl- il victions, and said that fifteen months ago prisoner was released from pi-ISOIIOIII license, after receiving a three years' sentence. ] Prisoner was sent to prison for three months with hard labour. Cigar Case. George Jones, 47, labourer, picaded not guilty to a charge or steal- ing 18 boxes of cigars, value t5 iis. (id., the property of the G. W.H. Railway Company at Pontarduiais on the 24th January last. From the opening by Mr. Wilfred Lewis for the prosecution, it appeared tnat the cigars were consigned from London to Mr. Emlyn Jones, Fanners Arms, Pontardulajs, on January 1st. At Pontarduiais the goods were stolen from a railway truck, and two or three days later prisoner was charged with dealing in them. Wheu charged on arrest by Sergt. Watkins prisoner said "You charge Hampton and Hedges with stealing them, 1 only sell them." Evidence was g'.ven oi the consign- ment of the cigars. Arthur W alter Bolder, butcher, New- port, said that on January 27th of this year, prisoner, whom he had known as an aut'.oneer's assistant and bailiff for 15 or 16 years came to his shop aiid ottered him for sale 450 cigars which witness subsequently bought at the rate of 8s. per hundred, paying 35s. Cross-examined by prisoner: Witness admitted that he had bought pictures, etc. from prisoner when he was an auctioneer's assistant and bailiff. Prisoner in the witness box said that a man named Hedges asked him to take half a dozen boxes of cigars to Newport and soil them assuring prisoner that they were "safe" and honestly come by. "AVhatever you do tell the truth because I have a wife and six littie children and I don't want to get my- self into trouble" is what prisoner raid he told Hedges, who, he said, replied, "Y011 won't get ycursetf into trouble because I bought them honestly." Prisoner then took the cigars to New- port and sold them to Bolder. John Hedges, a collier, who was in custody on another charge and who lives at Pontarduiais, said he gave prisoner six boxes of cigars to sell for him. He admitted telling prisoner that he had bought them honestly. Cross-examined by Mr. Wilfred Lewis Witness said that lie was cycling from Pontarduiais to Lianeily when a perfect stranger stopped him an d asked him to buy the cigars, which he did. Witness admitted that he went under the name Jno. Lloyd because he was wanted as a deserter from the army. The jury retired for three-quarters of an hour, and subseqeuntly prisoner was found guilty of receiving, and sentence was deferred. Teaspoons Stolen from the Goods I Yard. Jones was next charged with a man named Joseph Gooding, 36, labourer, with stealing a dozen boxes, each con- taining six electro-plated teaspoons and tongs, and Thomas Charles W illis (26), steelworker, and Anita Williams (24), his wife, were charged with receiving the articles, knowing them to be stolen. Mr. St. John Francis Williams prose- cuted, and Mr. Trevor Hunter defended the prisoners Willis. The prosecution alleged that on December 9th a quantity of electro- plated goods were consigned by Messrs. Deakin and Harrison, Birmingham, to a. jeweller at Pontarduiais named Seiugry. The goods were delivered at I Pontarduiais, and deposited intact in the goods yard, where they remained for some days, but on the 17th December, it was discovered that the boxes had been tampered with and some ei the articles j had been abstracted. On the 22nd Feb. the prisoner Gooding was arrested, and on 26th Feb, Jones was apprehended. When charged, he said, "I know nothing about it. I remember Joe Hampton by which name Gooding was known-sending some silver stuff to my daughter at Newport as a Christmas present last year. The prisoner Anita Willis was the daughter of Jones, and lived with her husband at Newport. When the police armed with a search warrant went to the Willis' house and asked the female prisoner about a box which she bad received from her father she said. "I have never received any- thing from Pontarduiais," but when shown a railway consignment note with her signature she said that she had received a box of oil-cloth, from Pontar- duiais. The male Willis also at first denied receiving any box until correc- ted by his wife. Upstairs in a drawer were found six silver-plated spoons, a tongs similar to those stolen, and when charged the female prisoner said, "Joe Gooding sent the spoons to me as a. Christma s present." Gooding when charged said that he had been working at Newport but returned to Pontar- dulais. He met a man who offered him half a dozen spoons, similar to those found in the WTillis' house for Is. 6d.. and prisoner bought them. The man said that he was given the spons as a present when he bought his wife's wed- ding ring. but, as she had absconded he was selling up the effects. Gooding said that he sent the spoons to Mrs. Willis as a Christmas present for her kindness to him, and received a pre- sent in return.

The Committee of the House of Com- moiio appointed to enquire into the al- leged atrocities in the Putumayo dis- trict 01 South America met again on Tuesday. Senor Aruna, founder of the Peruvian Amazon Company, and at one time its manager, gave evidence through a Spanisli interpreter. Prior to this he was toid by the Chairman that grave charges had been made against him, and that the conclusions lit a t I at which the Committee might arrive might conceivably affect his reputation The "ii?,s of the indirectly. The proceedings ot the Committee had been delayed to give him an opportunity of offering an ex- planation, but he need not answer any questions if his replies would be iikely to incriminate him. Charges Repudiated. Witness said lie had come here for the express purpose of meeting the charges made against him, and to re- pudiate the suggestion that hejiau any knowledge of the cruelties which had been practised. The Chairman remarked that the w itness apparently admitted existence I of what were called the methods of rubber collection which partook of a savage ald cruel character. Witness replied that he had no know- jkdgevof such things at the time, but h" admitted ni Hie main what had been stated. There had, however, been great exaggerations. Various alleged barbarities were now submitted in detail to the notice ot witness, ho declared that he was quite ignorant of any such occurrences, Senor Arana denied that his firm were responsible for the organisation oi a system of rubber collection, neither, he said, were the atrocities a part of the system. The atrocities appeared to have taken place in re- mote districts which he did not visit. Tie was absolutely ignorant of raids having been carried put, or of rewards having been promised in connection with them. He disclaimed any know- ledge of the Putumayo murders-

FORWARBS "HAT TRICK." I .-——— e- ) .-—————- FRED DAVID OF NEATH CROSSES I THREE friks. Robbed of the return fixture by the II I weather, Neath gave Abertillery a com- promising match on the Gnoli Ground I yesterday, and fine weather and a late start brought together a good crowd to witness an encounter that proved excit- ing and interesting. Earlier in the sea- sou Neath was beaten at Abertillery by a try, but everyone expected that the t All Blacks would wipe off the defeat with interest. Except for a stiff blow- ing up the field the conditions were ideal, the turf being in excellent order ,C i for a good open game. It was nearly tHe o'clock when the teams fielded as followr, NFATH.—Back, Glyn Gethin; three- quarters, T. 0. Jones, Edgar Thomas, Reg Stroud, and T. Owen; halves, Slion Evans and Dai Morgan forwards, F. David (capt.). Will Hopkins, Tan I Jenkins, Fred Perrett, Dai Jones, T. Thomas, W. Hopkins (Glyn Neath), and 1) M. Davies. ABERTILLERY.-Back, T. Norris; three-quarters, F. Court, E. Thomas. W. J. Thomas, and A. Llewellyn; halves, W. Daniel and W. Wamklyn; forwards, Jim Webb, W. Hale, R. Thomas, Geo. Webb, Jim Jones, A. Buchanan, \V. Roman, and H. Deane. Referee: Mr. W. Dewitt, Swansea. Neath won in the end by four tries to one Although Abertillery were the first to fegister points they never looked iike winning. The high wind in the f, rst half materially assisted them, and they adopted ta.ctJ which brought the in success, but when they changed over they were hopelessly outclassed in all departments. Having obtained a three points lead at lemon time, the "All Blacks" took risks to make the game open and in- j trresting, but Abertillery set u- a soiid defcncp. and successfully frustrated passing movements. A feature in tho second half was Glyn Gcthing's touch- find, rs, and he constantly worried the visiting forwards. Shon Evans was as tricky is ever, but he was closely watched by Daiiiol and a' winging for- ward. For try getting it was Fre(I David's day out. and, if I may bu pardoned for poaching on cricket par- lance, he did the .< kIt trick." His three tries were the result of clever oppor tu nism,
PROBLEM OF PROMOTION I
PROBLEM OF PROMOTION I SWANS IMPORTANT FIXTURE WITH I LLMELLY. The result of the match at Half-Way, LlaneMy, this afternoon, would it was fuly realised, determine whether Swan- sea Town would bid for the position of runners-up in the Southern League. The two victories which Southend have brought about during the week end have made matters iather difficult for the Swans, but should the two points be collared this afternoon, and should their goal average be greatly increased, then the chances were greatly in their favour, j for without a doubt the fight will finish up on goal averages. Both sides were strongly represented and were expected to go all the way. In the visiting side one or two changes were noticable. Sutherland was chosen to partner Nicholas, but should he be un- fit, jjfleverley was instructed to step in. Hamilton was resting, and was depu- tised by Jepp, wRile Prideaux was on the left. Ball was included at centre- forward, while Grierson replaced Fyfe and Coleman was placed on the left wing. The sides were:— SWANSEA TOWN: Goal, Fisher; backs, Sutherland and Nicholas; half- backs, Duffy, Jepp and Prideaux for- ¡ wards, Messer, Anderson, Ball, Grier- war ds, Messer, lndprsou, Ball, Grieil- i

I Sec I-e- tary whether ho intended to lay any papers on the su bject of the Congo be- lore asking the House to approve the recognition ot Belgian sovereignty. Sir Edward Grey said papers were laid at cud (if* the last session. The condition of affairs in the Congo under Belgian sovereignty was very different trom what it was under thecid regime, 1 and it was very undesirable that His Majesty's Government should withhold the rcoognitioll which was given by all the other Powers. However, jn accord- ance with undertaking which had been given, recognition would not be form- ally given: by His Majesty's Govern- -ment to the Belgian sovereignity till the House had had an opportunity of discussing, the most recent papers on the subject. Returning Officers' Expenses. Mr. James iiodge asked the Prime JFllIster when he intended to make provision out of the public or local funds for the payment of returning officers' expenses in Parliamentary elec- tions. Air. Asquith said the Government could not now indicate when they might be able to deal with this and other matters connected with electoral re- form wkch, in their op;n;on, needed renew.

Mr. Asquith: The answer is in the negative. Railway Rates. Mr. Charles Bathurst asked when :t was propu&oa to noiei the inquiry into j th? question oi existing raiiway rates, I alldhen effect u?u trade and in- dust?y, promised during the debates on J the hahway's Bill 01 last session? and I whether the Government would see that legislative treatment of the question of the owners' risk rates, tho unfairness of which had al- ready been admitted by several depart- mental committees, was not again post- poned by including it among the matters referred to any committee of inquiry. Mr. Buxton said he was not at present in a position to make any statement on the subject. Mr. Wedgwood on Forcible Feeding. I Mr. Wedgwood asked whether Miss Emerson, wno was serving a sentence of two months' imprisonment for breaking a window, was an American citzen, and was being forcibly fed and, if so, what report did the dcccors, give of the pre- sent state of her health. Mr. Ellis Griffith said the answer to the two first questions was in the affir- mative. The doctors reported that the condition of her health was quite satis- factory. Mr. Wedgwood Is she being forcibly fed ? Mr. Ellis Griffith: Yes. Mr. VVedgwood There arc two forms of forcible feeding; is she being forcibly fed and resisting, or being forcibly fed and accepting:" (Loud laughter). Mr. 10 J Li s Griffith: 1 am afraid I can- not differentiate. (Laughter.) Private Members' Bills. -1 First readings were given to Bills presented by Mr. Walter Guinness, to make further provision for the protec- tion of animals from cruelty, and by Lord Hugh Cecil, to provide for the constitution of Churchwardens' Coun- cils in England and Wales. Plural Voting Bill. I Mr. Joseph Pease, rising amid loud Ministerial and Labour cheers, moved for leave to introduce a Bill to impose a penalty on an elector who votes in more than one constituency at, a gtneral Parliamentary election.

 c<V3 r. I LIZZI'I. i '?' t CASE OF COLLISION BETWEEN TWO VtSSELS. j I JUDGE m THE LIGHTS. In the Admiralty division to-day Sia" Samuel Evans and the 1rinity Rasters I continued tli-i heariug of the action for damages brought by fi-ionias Stono and Co., ox Liar.elly, owners oi the steam- ship Lizzie, against the owners 01 the French, steamsh:p Victor Hugo, in re- ipect of a colii-,iuIl between tuo-e ves- :eis in Barry Koads on January Uoth ast. Defendants counter-claimed for darn- gcs. The question was whether the L'zzie, which was at anchor, was duiy exhibit- ing her riding L?'iT?, or whether, as the ill, her r, ,.)n?, or is the XntioQ H?I).:s ouL and tints causing those on the icior lingo to believe ilia: she wIlL: way. (riving- jiulgiir.Mii, its Lordship said lurried purely on a question of lact, v\i icii lay within a very narrow compass. The story <>i' the French j peopl-t: was that thc-v thought the Lizzie was under way, A that they came to I hot- couch; si o:< hocauM\ as they said, she had a green Light exhibited. The Only Paint. It was not disputed that the Lizz.e H as at anchor. and the or.lv point was If it was, then a wrong light was being i t'?s!ead a vessel. approaching, as the shown and the exhibition of it woukl It w;& nut now ttisputed lLal the j "V ictor Hugo «■ j Lizzie had iier anchor lights up. and therefore, it she was ?ot showing aj gte?n light, she hud a right vJ lie in j thGpIaf'ewhfrc ?he was m comiort, I without having to pu y much attention to craft under way. It. was not easy to decide a case such as tins, where there was positive evideuce on either j side :n support of stories op- posed to one another. lie did not ^ike to say, and ku did not say that the peopio from the Victor Hugo conspire! j to t-eli an uritruthi'ul story, and he could only attribute her case, ■if in- correct, to the want of a good lookout, It was practically not in dispute that the Lizzie's anchor lights were up, and yet no one in the French vessel spoke to seeing the second white light. On the other hand, it was impossible to disregard the -independent evidence railed on behalf ot the oiamtiffs, and which corroborated theLi- ca,e. Judge's Conskision. I- 1 The conclusion he Hat come to, oy Tea?on Oi ?e)gh:n? the evidence from the two vesscb and by i?asou of the in- dependent evidence, was that the story of the Lizzie was the right story, and that she was not exhibiting improper lights, but that she was in fact exhibit- ing riding lights tor a ship at anchor. He theretore pronounced the V icto'. Hugo tlfbe to blame for the collision, and gave judgment for the plaintiffs with costs, the damages to be assessed.
