WILLIAM MORRIS (LLANELLY). r 1_11- 4-Aft" W. Morris, vicfi-oaptain of the ii(an,y ia a clinking forward, a powerfnl force 10 the pack, and irresistible in the open. He has been playing for th, team ever since 1890, and seem? likely to play for some years more, despite the fact, tbf4o be is nicest-ly 27 years of age, and a marrieu man with a family. Morri* weighs 12st lllb, and touches the standard at 5ft. grn. Morris has already played m two Interna- tional matches, and is a regular player with the Scarlets, his form being consistently high class. In the ocotcn anu Irish matches last year he was the hardest worker of his side, npvPr tiring. This year he appsars to have fallen off a bit, and Daniels, the old Inter- national, who is his club-mate, has come out on top in club gztrres. D. EVANS (PENYGRAIG). Evans, who is a police-constable, has seen c* lummer", tUrtls the scale at 13it. lOib., is L 5ft, Viti. in neig«»> and is splendidly developed physically. A native of Maen. clocilog, it is now fully six seasons ago thab he WRS first selected to play for Ponygraig Sl-* conds, bub he soon made his mark wonli the jnmors and wurked himself to the frenfc, main- taining his position frolJl t!.a.t dy w tb., present. He then left the district for where fee was stationed for a short time and the Seasides. After returning selected to retrieve tli^ honour of a » „ Crashing' defe«# by E>»gl»nd Jf5?,i'W(»nt a appearance in the match aKa,n*' 00 and long way towards W*,e"OT fihf only victory in 1896. Subsequently he whk selected to play against Ireland, and he P himself worthy of the honourc>m^r« upon him. He is now stationed at Wh.tchnrc-i, n r Cardiff, and is a Benedict. A hard scrummage, a fearless tackier, and a man who can be re ed upon to keep his head in the open, he sho«ld batrina accidents, be one of the representative., of the Principality in the oext two engagements of this season. J. EVANS (LLWYNYPIA). L LL. I J Evans started playing <or jUlwynypia as «« eom'menc^niene of tfi. J-r. »o. h»f.m national honours, be already having played for his country on two occasions last season s>s A mem bet1 of the Llanelly Club. He was born in the vicinity of Llanelly in the year '71, and is therefore neaily 26 yeara of APle. His weight is 13t. S'h., and in height) he is jus*- a quarter inch over 6ft. His first appearance in the football field was ai Ammanford when lie Uras 1* years of *gt>, but he did not become identi- fied with Llanelly until TW, when he was selected to play for the A team. His rise after this period was rapid, as after playing two matches for the Second string he was drafted into the Premiere, and in the following year played iiiF3 first International match against Scotland, subsequently performing in the Irish mat jh. Hp is a fast and dashing player in the open, and a difficult one to stop when be gets away with a dribble or loose rush, while he work hard in the scrummage. He has been a tower of strength for Dwynypia this season, and in fact, so far as the forwards are concerned, is the top scorer. FRED CORNISH (CARDIFF). I Fred Cornish, while the youngest, is one of the heaviest members of his side. He is not yet out of his teens (or his ap- prenticeship to boiler- making), and hi" experience in first* class football has been gained almost wholly this season, for it was only at the closeof last reason thilb he w* drafted into the 0: dift premier team. Up to last season he liod played for the Grange* town Club. He is a native ofavillaRe n(-,r Bridgwater, which face may be news i 0 the Somerset County Committee, who would do well to secure him for the day they meet Yorkshire in the championship. His pro. motion to chief honours has been fast, and it has been gained solely through sheer -bard work and consistent training. Standing bil feat clear, Oornish weighs in bstre buff four to five pounds over 13 stona, and he is no aloiich on the field, his head-work being invariably sound, while he will nob be surpassed in speed by many of the forwards at Newport4 The strong points in his general play are his powerful sci urnmaging qualities, is tricky on the finetotlt, and has a knack of fielding the ball such fcs is possessed by few scrurhma?erft. Cornish is the soh ot the master of the OardiS steamship OWàlia.
MEETING OF THE WELSH UNION…
MEETING OF THE WELSH UNION COMMIITEE, J the Welsh Union Committee, which met at Boon to-day, Mr H. S. Lynepresiding, decided that It being dear that there was a misunderstanding between the players HellinCF3 and Evans and one of the members ot the committee, it was decided that the players should only be cautioned, but that in future it should be understood that DO player selected to take part in an International match should engage in any game within one week of the date fixed for an International match, and that any player infringing the understanding should be liable to aaspensioa. The State of the Ground. I Little rain fell at Newport during the morning, led there being a strong, cold wind the ground on being examined was found to be in a much better condition than was anticipated. The water which last night Was standing upon different parts of the ground oft this morning removed.

I Even at 9 o'clock large crowds were being discharged at Newport Station, the passengers bailing primarily from the enthusiastic Western 00126res, such as Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Aber. ."00, and Sridgend, while the Hill districts, in which the Glamorganshire League has been the means of developing an extraordinary rapid rise ia the popularity of the game, were represented by the teeming masses.

Indeed, it is questionable if so many of these useful articles have ever been seen on the Uskside enclosure and be. mackintoshed folk fairly swarmed on the way- the one long road to the splendidly-appointed eround. While I WAITING FOR THE TEAMS TO TURN OUT it must liavii been the thought ot everybody that it was a pity Wales had not had the good fortune of playing on the saudy soil of Sr. Helen's, which wou!d not have been anything like so badly affected by the heavy rains. How- ever, Newport's ground had been so well taken care of, and so industrious had been the morn- ing's work of Butcher, with a whole army of assistants, that while of course the surface was in an unbaked puddling state there was no pool discernable.

The Game.I
The Game. I At 2.35, five minutes before the time advertised for the kick-off, TAYLOR LED Hit MEN ON to the field of play, loud cheers following, and these were renewed when within a tick Gould and the representatives of Cambria made their appearance. No titne was Wasted in p liminaries, and the rain and the bail had diminished considerably when Taylor started operations from the Gymnasium end. Arthur Gould put in a reply to the kick and Byrne was knocked off ths ball by three forwards, Evans (Llwynypia) being prominenb when olose on the 25 line. Play seemed likely to settle down here, when tlie WELSH FORWARDS GOT THROUGH I the scrummage, and Baker saved about four yards over his 25. Hard work by the visiting pack gradually took play almost to halfway, when Waies were penahsed for, apparently, not putting the ball in straight. Ashford took the kick, and Arthur Gould missing to field, Bancroft tab in, gob the ball, end feinting, passed to Bawen, who with a screw kick gAINED TOUCH I on the stand side just past the halfway flag. The pace was terrific and the tackling deadly, and England gradually wore away almost to the Welsh 25, where for several minutes a series of lines-out and scrummages were witnessed. Eventually from a sorum close into touch SELWYN DIMS intercepted a pass and transferred to A. Gould, who, clearing between Baker and Fletcher kicked and the ball landed into touch within five yards of the goal line, and on bbe river side of the field. The Welsh captain at once ran up, bounced up the ball and although there seemed nothing wrong with the way he did it, he was recalled by the referee's whistle. From the line-out which followed Hellings, who a minnte before bad almost gained a huge slice of ground by rapid following up and turning GOTJLD'S KICK into touch with a view of preventing Fooke's fielding it, gob the ball on the line-out, and looked like breaking away. Intense exoitement now prevailed, and WALES LOOKED LIKE SCORING, as Gwynn Nicholls was prevented from getting in only by a slip. Fletcher and Baker being in such a position that they could not possibly have stopped him. A free for an informality by a forward for informality by a forward was given to Eng- land, but no advantage accrued. Then, after magnificenb work by the home eight, Jones got u* ou^ ^'Kga> anc^ Pearson ran close into the line punting and t&okling Lyme with the ball in bis possession. It looked practicaliy fch'k"11 now that Wales would be put on e defence, and amidst terrific cheers the referee »erjr properly very properly PENALISED THE ENGLISH HALF-BACKS pla*- Tl,is kook behind a ci q 'eS1' 15 yards from the mouth of J tflii1,J *0al and when Arthur Gould elected ? a foregone conclusion that Wales r °Pen the score by registering Great, however, was the dis- appointment when U was seen that the ball missed the uprlRbt by inches.

A place was made near the 25 line, and in by no means a bad position. The kick was not a success, being much farther frem the mark than Gould's attem pi. Nothi ng of any moment occurred for several minutes afterwards, and it was still a ding dong kind of game at forward. Now and again the Englishmen would break up a pack and try to do some dribbling work, but the I WELSH BACKS SAVED BETTER. HALF-TIME SCORE G. T. M. WALES 0 2 3 TNGLANID 0 0 1 FINAL SCORE: a. T. M.

ABERCYNON STRIKE. 1 The Sad Death of a Workman. J On Friday afternoon, at Pontypridd, Mr E. B. Reece, coroner, and a jury sab to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Henry Bennett, who was found drowned in the canal at Navigation on Thursday morning. The deceased was one of the workmen who have been idle for over three months in consequence of the dispute at the Navigation Colliery, and on Thursday he bad been to Merthyr Vale and the district collecting money for the relief fund. He returned to Abercynon by the 9.0 tram, and having taken tbe money 110 the workmen's committee room, he proceeded homewards before 11 o'clock. He was seen going towards the c-anal bank, and the assumption is that he fell over the bank, the night being very dark. The next morning information was given by a boatman to the police that there was a body in the water, and upon proceeding to the spot indicated behind the terrace near the hotel, the end of a coat was seen above the water, and shortly afterwards the body was brought to bank. It appeared from the evidence that there were no marks of violence on the body, and an open verdict of Found drowned was returned. The deceased leaves a wife and five or six ohildren, and his untimely death has come as a shock to his fellow-workmen

ILLNESS OF KING HUMBERR. I VIENNA, Thursday. — Serious reports of the sudden illness of King Humbert reach me from Rome. Notwithstanding what has already been officially published attributing the attack to influenza, I understand it WM nothing more nor less than a slight stroke of paralysis. Very few even in the Quirinal knew of the true nature of the attack, but the apprehension amongst those who did was at the time Vety great. Besides, as it is now generally known in Rome, no doctor—not even Professor Baeeelli, the highest medical authority in Italy, himself- was admitted to see the King for 24 hours after the indisposition was first obllered.-Dfll, Hisilt ■ —

A coachman named Charles Joseph Brooks (29) was charged with having, between November 29c.li and December 4tb, stolen a gold ohain and £ 2 10s, the property of one Miss Jane Green, Woodville-road, his landlady. After evidence, however, the jary found him Not guilty," and he was discharged. YATHICK O'LBABT. Patrick O'Leary (28). labourer, was charged with having stolen from t-be person of Dr. Allan Casswell, of Bristol, a watch and chain, in Westgate-streeb, on November 28tb. In evidence it was stated that while Dr. Casswell and his wife were getting into a cab at the Ruyal Hotel, prisoner rushed forward and snatched the watoh and chain. A policeman happened to be close by, and seeing what prisoner had done seized him with the articles in his hand.—Prisoner declared that Dr. Casswell was not sober, and that as he was going awof with a companion wished him to take care' of the watch and chain. (Laughter.) Then he found himself arrested. (Laughter.)—The jury found him guilty.-fnspeebor Sec?tt informed the Court that prisoner was a man who did little work, and although not previously convicted, bad been in custody before on similar charges. Prisoner denied that, and said he had been in the employ- ment of the Taff Vale Railway Company at the West Dock for the past three years.—The Recorder, in passing sentence of six months' hard labour, characterised the robbery as impudent and the defence mean and atil more impudent. Mr E. F. Gr.fSi.lis appeared for the prosecution, BAD BOYS TO BE FLOGGED. Two lads named George Parr (15). moulder's apprentice, and Tnomas Sumbruck (15), labourer, who appeared in the dock smiling, pieiidtd guilty to charges of having on Novembei 23rd stolen a towel, a knife, and other articles, the property of Wm. Day, and, on the same date, broken into a shop in the occupation of Henry Drayton with intent to commit a felony. The Recorder, viewing the boys, remarked that they seemed to be rather fond of a joke, and wouid likely get one. Inspector Scott, stated that both boys lipd be-an previously convicted of stealing, and were beyond the control of their parents. The Recorder said it seamed no good to deal leniently with then. He would, therefore, sentence them to be severely whipped, and he sincerely hoped that would have the desired effect. Warning them that if they came again they might be sent to a long term of penal servitude or a reformatory, which they would find anything but pleasant, he ordered each to be imprisoned for a month and to receive 18 strukes with the birch rod. The boys left the dock weeping copiously.

Mr Godfrey prosecuted for the Council Mr C. V. Young defended. Defendant elected to be dealt with in this court and pleaded guiUy. A OHIMNET SWKKP'S WIDOW. Mr Godfrey said that the defendant was the widow of a ohimuay sweep, and although she had had infants in her care since 1892 she had never taken any steps o have the house registered The circumstances came to the knowledge of the Council through the Hackney Board of Guardians. The defendant had a child named Frank Mills from the Salvation Army, and her husband dying and she being in distressed circumstances, she went to the guardians and applied for relief. She then said the child had been left with her by the mother, who then disappeared. The woman was then granted out-relief. This story, on inquiry, appeared to be a fabrication. The ficts were then repotted to the County Council, whose inspector discovered that the defendant had had oharge of 14 infants-most of whom had been under the age of one year-eigbb of whom had died. THE DEFENCE. Mr Young, in defence, said that the defendant was not aware of the fact that she should have been registered. True, there had been great mortality. The children, however, were the children of servants, and in many cases they had been reemved almost at the point of death. De fendant was paid 4s a week for each child, and this money formed her living. This was not a baby-farming case. She received no Jump sum with the children, and it was to her interest to keep thAm alive. Mr Paul Taylor said that although thpre had been a violation of the law it was a case for lenient treatment. Ho therefore bound the defen- dant over in her own recognizances to come up for judgment if called upon.
DEFAULTING RME COLLECTOR !
DEFAULTING RME COLLECTOR The Question of Dismissal. This morning at the weekly meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians, Mr O. H. Jones presiding, a letter was read from the Local Government Board stating that in the opinion of that authority Mr Bennett, the 1 late collector in the No. 2 District, Roath, was out of office by virtue of his own resignation before the board decided to discharge him. The motion to dismiss was fonsequently out of order. Resignation always Vacated the office and needed no resolution on the part of the authority. A letter was also read from the secretary of the Poor Law Guarantee Association, statimg that the matter of Bennett's guarantee would be placed before his board at their next meeting. The overseers of Roath had written to the chairman of the Finance Committee, stating that it would be impossible for them to g-ive any reliable information as to the extent of Mr Ben- nett's default until they hadjmadejan investigation of the arrears outstanding on the rate ending November last. They also understood that there were arrears on the current rate, but as demand notes and receipts had not in all instances been used matters were oomplioated, and a complete statement could not be arrived at untit the conclusion of the collection in March. It was decided to request the overseers to meet the Finance Committee, The Clerk reported that on three days' adver. tising 188 applications had been received for the vacant collectorship; 132 of the applicants resided in i hA Union district and 56 outside. It wait deci^ 'd to place tho applications in the hands of the Finance Committee to make a recommenda- tion to the board, the appointment to be decided in a fortnight's time.

Acting under the authority of the Prison Com- missioners, the Visiting Justices of Carl ale Prison at their last meeting dealt with the case of William Almond, the prisoner who esoaped in such a daring manner recently from prison, and who was recaptured at Sunderland after five days hot pursuit. Instead of bflin# sentenced to a term of penal servitude, Almond has received a flogging with the oat o' nine tails instead. When the flogging was administered, the soreams of the man Almond were heard all over the male portion of the prison, and it is oertain that all the rest of tne prisoners knew who was being flogged and why the punishment was inflioted.

The Society Scandat. j RUSSELL-BOU I I CASE ENDED. I Prisoners Sentenced. I DRAMATIC SCENES IN COURT. I Press Comments on the Result. I Lady Scott and the two male prisoners associ- ated with her in the libels npon her son-in-law were yesterday sentenced each to eight months' imprisonment by Mr Justice Hawkins. Owing to her state of health. so tried by this protracted bearing, Lady Scott will for the present be treated as a first-class misdemeanant, a course in which Sir Frank Lockwood acquiesced with becoming consideration. The case was begun on November 23rd last, and has extended over 12 sittings, boiing interrupted by the illness and death of one of tbe four prisoners—Frederick Kasfc, who fought atChitral. ¥'J v'-="f. Ttu-ougii'iiit Urn trisU hits b'-esi mark?d by exciting incidents. The nervous tension of yesterday was at times painful, and it required all the coolness, knowledge of humanity, and firmness of the very experienced Judge who presided to keep the proceedings within the bounds proper to a Court of Justice. No sooner had sentence been delivered than a piercing shriek from Lady Russell rang through the court, whilst Lady Scott herself exolaimed, I believe all that these men say "—pointing ex- citedly to Coekerton and Ay lolit-II to b. true." Another painful intervaMollowed, and then Lady Scots and the male prisoners were removed from the dock. His Lordship said he should not attempt to interfere with the discretion of the Home Office to treat Lady Scott as a first-class misdemeanant during the entire nerm of her imprisonment, and he further allowed Lady Russeil to see her mother. The Countess quitted the court sobbing, "This has broken my heart," Lady Scott in Holloway. I liady ocoBt, being a firsll-cla.ss misdemeanant, I was allowed to proceed to Holioway Prison in a oab, accompanied by Mr Wallis (her solicitor), Lady Russell, and Mrs Dick Russell. Lady Scott was received at half-past two by Colonel Milman, the governor, and the prison medical I official. The parting between Lady Scott and La .y Russell was characterised by much weeping and kissing. Lady Scott was made aware of the privileges whicii her sentence entitled her to. I These are to wear her own clothes, provide her I own food, furnish a room which she has hired in the prisoB, pay a les3 fortunate prisouer to keep the room clean, pvide books and newspapers for herself, receive relatives twice a week, and her solicitor as ofteu as necessary. Her cell is in the unconvicted female or F wing of the prison, and is immediately beneath the cell occupied some time ago by the Duchess of Sutherland. We under- stand that her state of health, which is very weak, will ba reported upon specially at an early date. A local caterer has undertaken to provide her meals, which will include a limiled amount of stimulant, but pending the furnishing of her cell to-morrow her Ladyship will have some experience of the desolate surroundings of a prison. She will b., exejeised alone, and isolated when attending religious service. A Healing Silenca. I The 2'imes says -Tlie authors and eirculatorF3 of a cruel libel have been found guilty and sub- jected to a sentence which does not err on the side of severity. One would fain hope that we have heard the last of Earl Russell's domestic troubles. Unfortunately, the House of Lords has to give its decision with respect to the Countess of Russell's suit for restitution of conjugal rights. But at last we may tiust that the final word has been spoken in public as to the £..ul chatges with which Lord Rnssell has been long pursued. That a healing silence may fall on all cjncerued must be the wish ot every one who has watched this painful case. A Salutary Lesson. I The Stamdard remarks that the defendants thoroughly deserve the punishment which has overtaken them. It is essential that the vindictive and pitiless defamation which proceeds on the assumption that because a man has been gnilty of some youthful indiscretion, or even because some shadow has fallen on his name in maturer years, he may be hounded to social death with impunity, should receive a salutary lesson to the contrary. Judge and Counsel. I We are not quite sure (says the Daily News) I that the Judge would not have done better to keep his own views more in the background, and it was unfortunate that the las* of the many scenes between Judge and counsel in this case should have been one in which Mr Walton and Mr Hall certainly seetti to have shown that he was making an tuaccurate point against the defendants. There were enough points against them, in all conscience, to make any search for another unnecessary. In the sentence that be passed, Mr Justice Hawkins showed one of the best aspects of jstice. He made it unvindictive. There are Judges who pass very savage sentences in some cases; and Mr Justice Htwkini; clearly held a justly strong view of the offence oommitted. But his sentence, if It erred at all, erred on the right side-tbs side of leniency. Professional Biokerings. I That, justice has been done as between the I parties to tliig diitat-teftil piece of litigation will be generally agreed, and is so far satisfactory but on the manner in which the result haa been arrived at we can hardly (observes the Daily Telegraph) congratulate either our lawyers or ourselves. The trial has ahonnded throughout in "scenes" and "incidents" of a more or less unseemly character, which have at times disclosed a very unsatisfactory state of relations, not only between the counsel engaged in the case, but between advocate and Judge. The ostentatious parade of courage and independence by provoking continual conflicts with the Bench is a much less excusable form of self-advertise- ment; but it is one which, we regret to observe, is increasing in popularity with oertain junior members of the Bar, and it was far too frequently I exemplified in the recent proceedings. Sympathy With Lord Ruswll. I To Lord Russell himself (remarks the Daily Chronicle) great sympathy must be extended. For years his life has been blasted by the actions of his wife and his mother-in-law. What the latter has done we now see. It has cost Lord Russell a considerable fortune to establish his good name again against the charges of these two women. If he bad been a less determined man, if he bad been possessed of but small private means, he would have been helpless in the face of their unrelenting hostility. At last the straggle is over, and the foul tongue is silenced. It only adds to the scandal that this result should have been so slow in coming.
I A CURIOUS CASE. j
A CURIOUS CASE. j A Girl who Will Not Speak, A wnusoal and at the ptesen* time an inexplic- able oate came on At the Cardiff Police Court this morning, Messrs F. C. Jotham and H. White being on the bench. A girl of 14 years of age, named Florenoe Carter, to all appearance* a aharp intelligent child, was brought up to answer a charge of sleeping in a doorway of No. 50 Cowbridge road. Inspector Durstou explained to the Bench that they could tiotget a word out of the child. She would go for hours without speaking although she could apeak quite well. A constable said he found the child sleeping in the doorway of a house in Cowbridge-road between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning. The girl would answer none of his questions. He found her parenti, and they said they had been looking for the child since Thursday. The child's father said the girl had a sister aged 10 in service at Canton, a statemenb which the mother subsequently contradicted. They oauld do nothing with th* prisoner. The magistrates endeavoured to get the girl to speak, but they could only indnoe her to tell her name she would say nothing as to the reasons which prompted her strange conduct. Inspector Duraton said it was only right to Say that whenever the constable visited the hooae ia connection with School Board summonses he always found the mother drunk. Mrs Krall emphatically denied this. Eventilally the cast was adjourned for a week fpr further evidenoe.

■ rFire at Liverpool. I
r Fire at Liverpool. I COURT THEATRE DESTROYED. Shortly before 4 o'clock this morning an alarming fire broke out in the Court Theatre, Liverpool. It was first discovered in the gallery by officials engaged in clerical work, who j at onca summoned the fireman permanently employed with a view of stamping it out. This it was at once apparent was a futile task, and engines from the bead tire station were at once summoned, but could only prevent the flames extending to the stage of the theatre, which, thanks to the fireproof curtain, was with the scenic accessories saved from destruction. The building was erected some 70 years ago, and, mellowed by age, the timber of the gallery was very soon a burning mass. This extended to the roof, and within three-quarters of an hour the roof over the auditorium collapsed, followed by a grand pyrotechnic display seen from the higher parts of the city. Curious to state, the lower part of the theatre escaped the conflagration, as also did the dress circle, but the gorgeous decora- tions and appointments, for it is only six months since it was completely werenovated, re entirel destroyed by water where they escaped the conflagration. The building is the property of the Carl a Company, and Mrs Carl Rosa has, it is believed, the heaviest share in il.. Laa., Bank Holiday it was opened under the manage j ment of Mr Robert Arthur, who is lessee of several provincial theatres, and last night had an j overflowing house to witness the prntomime of "Cinderella." The theatre is insured, and it ) will necessarily be closed for the remainder of the season. [ Additional Details. I A later telegram says :-Althougit the fire I brigade were still pouring water on the burning building at half-past. 10, the fire was practically extinguished. No estimate of the damage has yet been made, and this will scarcely be possible until the arrival of Mr Arthur, lessee of the theatre, who has been wired to at Newcastle, where he also leases the Theatre Royal. Mr Arthur is expected about 1 o'clock. Meantime the acting-mauagers of the theatre state that under favourable circumstances they may be able to resume the pantomime in about a fortnight. The fire is supposed to have originated from a lighted cigarette being thrown down in front of the gallery bar, as it was there where the outbreak was firet observed. The iron curtain was at once lowered in front ot the stage, but on the arrival of the firemen it was found I necessary to raise the cur tarn a few feet to allow the hose which was attached to the hydrants from the stage side freedom to play on the gallery. This portion of the theatre has been destroyed, together with thegreater p*rt of the entire roof. Extensive iatriaftii was also done to seating in the dress circie, chiefly by water, while the lower part of tho theatre is flooded. The expensive scenery used in the production of "Cinderella"has escaped pretty well, but the dresses have suffered somewhat from the water and smoke. The glare of the fire was I'\>JEm over the oity, and during the morning many of the leading pantomime artistes visited the th eal;re

I Ac the Cardiff Borough Q larter Sessions to-day a woman named Ellen Seymour (21), described as of no occupation, was charged with having on December 25th maliciously wounded Catherine Donovan, ai 45, Mary Ann-street.—The Reorder: Oil. that is the place where tho sailor was robbed the other day 1—Mr Pepy:v Evans, who appeared to prosecute, sud that was so —Prisoner pleaded not gitilty.-Catlieriue Donovan stated that prisoner was a lodger in the female department of her esttblisbmt-nt at No. 47, and that the nialp lodgers residing at the other Oepartment at N. 45 were celebrating the advent of Christmas Day, when between 12 and 1 she entered unbidden in a diunkeu siate. Mrs Donovan said she a.-ktd prisoner to leave. Prisoner refused, and when bf-ing turned out cut her over the right "y with a large clasp knife. Prisoner replied that Donovan had invited her in, that the cotripnny were drinking promiscuously, I and that when Donovan struck at her in the course of a brawl she let out at Donovan in sell defence, having in her hand at the time a pocket knife, with which she was cleaning her nails. Donovan had stabbed her first and her 800 had kicked her. There was a 4% on tap on a sufa.-Cotitinuing her evidence, Donovan denied those assertions. The Rfcord r What Not on Christmas Eve ? (Laughtei.) Now, now. for the sake of the hospitality of 45, Mary Auu-street, do tell the truth. (Laughter.)—Donovan But the public- houses were shut at eleven. (Laughter.)— The Recorder Ab, then it I", as far as I can learn, that the shebeens open. (Laughter.) — Donovan We had no beer after 11.—The Recorder Ah, I see a sort of Blue Ribbon gathering I suppose. (Laughter.) Proceeding the Recorder remarked that he couid not understand how 22 men would sit at 45, Mary Ann-street bringing in Christmas without drinking something, and perhaps a good quantity.—Donovan said in answer to further inquiries by counsel, that her feelings were shocked at a single lady going amongst so many men there whereupon the Recorder took up the running again and gently chaff<sd the woman as to her shocked delicacy," adding Your moral percpption may be keener than mine, but I don't see the impropriety of prisoner being there when, as has been stated, there were other two married ladies there. I don't, see where the indelicacy oomes in, but as your feelings of delicacy are shocked, that is sufficient, I suppose." (Laughter.) —Prisoner remarked that D inovan did not order her out. Donovan repeated that prisoner shocked the lodgen.-The Recorder: Why, if the people you keep in your lodgings are respectable, why should anyone be shocked on such an ocoasion 1 Pnsoner repeated that she stabbed Donovan in self-defence, and received from her a large wound on the wrist, which was yet bandaged. MraDAy, wife of a lodger at the houses said there had been drinking m the house I before the pubs closed, but not after. Some I lodgers brought beer home, but none was sold, as that was wrong and against the law.-The Recorder Just so. Quite right. (Laughter.) But I suppose you have heard of such a place as a shebeen ? (Laughter.)—The onlv reply was an evasive sort of istaile,-The R-corder You know there are such. and I daresay you have heard of such an institution ? (Laughter.)-Day Yes, there are plenty opposite. (Laughtw.)—The Recorder There are plenty about, and in a district not remote from 45, Mary Ann-street. (Laughter.)-Dr. Penrose having stated that the wound on prisoner's hand could not have been self-inflicted, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and prisoner was discharged.

The Soudan. j OPERATIONS TO BE RESUMED. A Woolwich correspondent telegraphs that orders have been issued for 63 men of the 2nd Lincoln Regiment, stationed at Woolwich, to be ready to proceed to Alex- andria in the middle of February to make up the 1st Battalion of that regiment to fighting strength. The 1st Lincoln arrived at Alexandria this week from Malta, and are first on the roster for active service, it being expected that they will take part in the spring in the Soudan expedition. NIGER EXPEDITIONS OBJECTIVE. JvlAliDISTS TO BE ATTACKED IN THE R-t,AR.- Another expedition sanctioned by her Majesty's Government is being fitted out against two or three tribes, the Koukas, Ilorins, and Nupes, who have assumed the offensive with some considerable success in a tract of territory between Khartoum and the West Coast of Africa. Two armour- plated stern-wheel steamers, a large j quantity of ammunition and other stores, including the electric searchlight, have been sent to Akassa, and arer being reshipped in the Niger delta into river steamers and sent inland. The stores and troops are being provided by the Niger Company, who will recoup her Majesty's Government the cost of any war scores sent from England, and nothing wil be done without the knowledge or sanction of Lord Salisbury. The Nige^ Company have formed an alliance in the expedition with the Sultan of Sokoto, who has been defeated by Raba, Sultan of iCouka. The latter is now holding Kano, the chief tiwn of the Sokoto Gandu Empire This ally can furnish several thousand troops, but dependence will not be placed feo much on numbers as on British repeating rifles and machine guns, a battery of the latter being able to fire 2,000 shots per minute. The Niger troops will assemble at Lokoja and march to Sokoto country, the journey lasting eight weeks. Having joined the Sokoto force and retaken Kano, the X tion Will advance to Konka and the Ichad, and will afterwards march eastward and aid the British plan for the reconquest by Anglo-Egyptian troops of Khartouai. The object of the Niger expedition is to suppress the slave-raiding, open up new channels of trade, and develop regions ripe for develop- ment. The Sultan of Sokoto has hitherto opposed the expansion of the Niger I Company in a northerly direction, but haa now solicited the aid of tbe company against the Sultan of Kouk%-
