FUNERAL OF COLONEL TURBERVILL.
FUNERAL OF COLONEL TURBERVILL. SYMPATHETIC REFERENCES. The funeral of this deeply-lamented gentleman took plaoe on Friday last, when the mortal re- mains, which had hitherto encased so generous a nature, and swayed so mighty an influence in the county, were interred in the private burial ground of the ancient Turbervill family, adjacent to the parish church. In accordance with the expressed wish of the colonel, the funeral was of II. simple and almoet private character, and his desire in this respect was reverently followed. However, when the knoll of the ancient church bell began to toix, proclaiming that the hour was fast approacning when the grave would claim as its own another gallant master of the house of Turberville, there was a fairly representative, gathering at the front of the Abbev. Shortly afterwards the solemn -;rt. moved slowly through the vardway to- wards the front entrance of the church. The coffin was borne by the following ten persons, who. as old tenants and trades- men on the estate, had previously been notified: Evan Lawrence. John Thomas, Evan David nygars). D. Thomas, Llewellyn Yorath (Ty'nycaia), William Hopkins, William Cooke (Marcross). Thomas Thomas (Ewenny), and Matthew Griffiths.

The church was well filled, and the general respect in which the deceased was held was made manifest during the imnrpssivelv solemn servise, which was con- ducted by the Vicar. The cort.'f/e then made its way through the private doorway to the Abbey grounds, in the corner of which was the private burial ground. The Rev. John Jones (late vicar of Ewenny) here read the burial service of the Church of England, and the Bishop concluded by pronouncing the Benediction. The coffin bore the following inscription :— Thomas Picton Turber- vill, born 8th October, 1827 married 29th August, 1857: died November 23rd.1891."

At the annual dinner of the Bridgend Fat Stock Society, held on Thursday in last week, Mr. A. J. Williams. M.P. for South Glamorgan, in responding to the toast of the donors .said he was glad of the opportunity of responding, because it enabled him to say a word upon a. matter which had, he was sure. affected them as it had affected him. They had lost a donor—a donor by the side of whom he fslt ashamed to «tand for any little thing he may have done for this society, or ior anything that contributed to ,ihe happiness and prosperity of the town and 1 district. He could assure them that since he had come into the county, nothing had affected him ¡I more than the loss they had had during the last few days. There was no man he ventured to say —there was no man who had such a broad sense of what he owed to both his wealth and position as Col. Turbervill. (Hear, hear.) He was a sin- cere and consistent friend, and a man who, as he I had said, always possessed a keen sense of duty, and who constantly in season and out of season discharged that duty. The hon. member con- cluded with these words, To me there is no loss I. which has come home to my heart more than the death of Col. Turbervill."
THE ALLEGED FALSE PRETENCES…
THE ALLEGED FALSE PRE- TENCES AT BLAEXGARW. DEFENDANT COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. At the Bridgend Police-court on Saturday, Edward Shute again appeared in the adjourned case in which a charge of obtaining £ 5 17s. by false pretences was preferred against him, the same being the property of the International Colliery Company. Blaengarw. Mr. Spowart (Messrs. Morgan and Rhys. Pontypridd), appeared for the prosecution, and IUr. T. J. Hughes (Bridgend) defended.—The case had been adjourned for the production of the company's book?, and the attendance of the cashier. Evan Treharne, re-called, confirmed his previous evidence as given in the Star last week, and now produced his measuring-up book, showing how defendant's money was made up. He carried this book to the office. — Cross-examined by Mr. Hughes Who were there when you measured the coal.'—Witness William Shute and a man named R'ul"ell?-Was it defendant Shute ?-Yes, sir.—Then in the face of that do you still say that defendant number was not 494 ?--No. sir. it was not.—Then why did you call him William" Shute.' — No answer. — Mr. Hughes asked the Bench to observe in the book that the name was William Shute.—(To witness) Have you ever asked defendant to spell his name Isir: he gave it as Shute.—Is the other man named William Shoote .'—He is, sir.—Mr. Hughes That is the imaginary Shoot "—a blank «shot.—Cross- examination continued Shoot had left the col- liery, after having been working for about eight days altogether. He had not measured anything for him. He was supposed to enter every person's name and number in his book. This man was working near defendant. Every man's name and amount of work done were entered in his note- book consecutively. He was sure that defendant was not William Shoot." He had called him li William in mistake. Defendant wanted more ( allowance for the coal he said nothing about his number. George Russell, the other man, was No. 474. This man was on shares with defendant. Defendant had got to pass No. 484 to get to his heading. Defendant was entitled to an allowance of Is. 6d. The tools were on the company's pro- perty, and they claimed for the value of them un- less they were brought back to the proper place. Richard Edwards, a weigher, produced the out- put book of the colliery, and detailed the numbers given out to the different men. No. 484 sent the first tram out on the 14th October. He detailad the amount of coal debited to that number.— Cross-examined by Mr. Hughes He did not give defendant any number because he had never come to him for one therefore it was not down on his book. Could not say whether anyone else had given him a number. It was not usual for men to work without such a number. The name oppo- site 494 was" Wm. Shoot "—that was the only place in which Shoot" occurred in his book. This number was not given out by witness, but by Idris Evans. There was no coal down to the de- fendant's credit, and. so far as the book showed. the company owed the defendant nothing. There were 10 trams credited to 494. Idris Evans, another weigher, said he did not given defendant any number. George Russell was given 474 on the 27th October last. No. 494 was William Shoot.—Mr. Spowart Is this man (pointing to defendant) William Shoot, Mr. Hug-hes protested against the question being asked in such a leading manner. It was of the utmost importance, and in the whole course of his experience this was the most surprisingly cool manner of leading a witness he had ever met with. —Mr. Spowart said he had a right to get evidence of identification. — Mr. Hughes Possibly you have. but you have no right to identify for him. —Witness's cross-examination was then proceeded with by Mr. Hughes He (witness) did not know William Shoot, because he had never seen him but once. and that was in the machine room last October. He did not take notice of him. Witness, who repeatedly looked at the book before him. and showed great reluctance in answering, further said the man was tall and rather stout.—Mr. Hughes This man is tall and rather stout, is he not.'—Witness I am not sure whether he had a beard or not. He was not very dark. He thought he had seen defendant before, and he looked the same as he looked that day week. Could not remembor that defendant had a beard before.—Mr. Hughes pointed out that the man wore a beard the previous Saturday at the court. -Witness had never seen the man-"Shoot since. Witness was told to say that day that he gave a number to William Shoot, qu(I had not given one to defendant.—Mr. Hughes What was the conversa- tion He did not say anything.—Mr. Hughes: Did he not ask you what you were here to say?—(No answer).—The Chairman (to witness). Why don't you answer ?—Mr. C. P. Davies You are doing more harm to Mr. Salathiel by not answer- ing.—Witness He told me to come down to say that I did not give a number to Edward Shute, and that was the truth.-Witness was told to say that he had given 494 to William Shoot. He had not seen the book then. He was not asked what sort of a man William Shute was. and he was not sure of defendant until that day. The men were both alike, and he could not swear that this was not William Shoot. Evan Griffiths, cashier, confirmed his previous evidence, and added that he had been Di years at the colliery. It was part of witness's duty to examine the measuring-up book of the overman, in order to certify the amount as being correct. Also, be checked the dead-work book. He produced the pay-book, showing the amount paid over to defen- dant.—Cross-examined The amount opposite 494 had not been paid. It was stopped before pay day, because the man had left the work illegally. He did not know William Shoot. He had never known a man at the colliery receiving two numbers. Police-constable Hall gave evidence of arrest, and stated that defendant, in answer to the charge, said If they are fools enough to give me more than what is due to me, it is their fault." Evan Treharne, realled, said he had known Wm. Shcot. He was not like defendant. He was a man about 44 or 45 years of age, about five feet seven or eight in height, was not so dark as de- fendant, with a small beard.—Mr. Hughes Did not defendant have a small beard on Saturday last.—Witness No, but he might have wanted a shave. (Laughter.) Mr. Hughes then addressed the Bench for the defence. As had already been suggested from his cross-examination the defence was that ticket No. 494 was given to defendant, and no other person, and that the man "Shoot" was an imaginery being altogether. It was very odd to him that this large company, who had received an inkling of the defence for the past fortnight, oould not bring forward a single witness, except the over- man Treharne. who knew of the existence of the man" Shoot," and his description was so vague that it could not be relied on. Was it creditable that any man who had worked, and must have lived at such a place as Blaengarw, was not known by more persons than Treharne ? He pro- posed to put into the box a man, who had been subpoenaed, and was present by some fortunate accidt ut, as he could not be found during the week, who would state that the man Treharne. when measuring, gave defendant a ticket numbered 494, and he asked them to believe him. It was owing, chiefly, he ventured to assert, to the mistake of the officials that they endeavoured to bring defendant into trouble. He was prepared to accept the defendant's admission for the purposes of the case, as he pointed out what they had to decide was not whether the company had been foolish enough to give the wrong ticket and also the money to defendant, but the question was whether this sum had been obtained by a false pretence of an existing fact. If the company gave him an overplus they could find, their remedy at the County-court. The Chairman said they had made up their minds upon the point, as he had pointed out. George Russell was then examined. He bore out the statement of the advocate that the wrong ticket had been given the defendant. In cross-examination, he said he knew a man named Shoot." The prisoner was then committed to take his trial at the Quarter Sessions, bail being allowed in two sureties of -610 and defendant himself in £20.

IMISSIONARY MEETING AT CADOXTON.
I MISSIONARY MEETING AT CADOXTON. OnTuesdav night, Mr. Thomas, Welsh missionary at Delhi, delivered an eloquent address to a good congregation at the English Baptist Chapel, Cadoxton. The rev. gentleman is a personal friend of the pastor, the Rev. L. Ton Evans, whose zeal for missionary work is well known in this district. We have lately had the pleasure of reading a letter which Mr. Evans has received from an old college friend, the Rev. G. W. Bevan. who is now work- ing in the good cause at the Mission House, Madariport. India. In view of the many attacks that have lately been made on our Indian mis- sionaries by English travellers and others, it would be well to have the case stated by the missionaries themselves. We regret we cannot publish all of Mr. Sevan's interesting letter, but we cull from it the most important things. Some of our readers know that the Rev. W. R. James (a Welsh- man born at Cardigan) started a new missionary movement some two years ago in India, whose self- denial and e elf-sacrifice has already done a vast amount of good. Mr. James has formed a kind of brotherhood at Madaripcre, consisting of five or six brethren, who live together on £ 50 a year, and out of the six four are Welshmen—Mr. James him- self and three others from Haverfordwest Baptist College, named Bevan, Davies. and Hughes. Mr. Bevan, in his letter, says :—!i The superstition and hardness of these bigoted Mahommedans and blasphemous Hindoos often weigh very heavily on our hearts, and severely try our weak faith. But we have to-day in India much to be thankful for, because from different parts of the land news comes that the Lord is being glorified in the salva- tion of souls. The people around us are Hindoos and Mahommedans, with a community of some 3.000 Christians some miles away in the district. These Christians arc gathered into about twenty churches, over which Brother James has to excr- cise a guiding influence. A few weeks ago the Christians of this and Barisal districts met for their annual confer- ence at a place called Ashor, where we had a very encouraging and refreshing time with several hundred native Christians. In addition to work among the churches, our time is taken up by preaching at fairs and markets, dis- tributing tracts of gospel, holding Bible classes (when we could get any body to come and read with us), and in other and various ways we try to bring some influence for good to bear on our heathen neighbourr- The great obstacle Mr. Bevan. however, finds is the lack of knowledge of the vernacular. He and his brother mission- aries are fast learning it. and can now make them- selves understood in Hindustani. When the language is mastered we may hope that an even greater success will attend their self-sacrificing efforts.—Mr. Ernest Reed, solicitor, Barry, pre- sided at Tuesday evening's meeting, which was a large and representative one. The Rev. H. Thomas, the deputation, delivered a lucid, inter- esting. and stirring address on Indian mission work, and also sang hymns in the Hindostani language. At the conclusion of Mr. Thomas's remarks, the Rev. L. Ton Evans, the pastor, gave a report of what had been done by the Cadoxton Baptist Church on behalf of foreign missions. During the year the sum of -C8 8s. 2d. was col- lected. and the following articles had also been contributed by members of the church :—Two gold watches, gold and silver chains, one gold and two silver scarf pins, one pair of silver trinkets, and a number of foreign coins. Mr. Thomas pre- sented a number of children who had collected with Baptist centenary medals. The Rev. J. H. Stowell then delivered an address, and after the Rev. J. W. Matthews had offered prayer, a very succcssful meeting concluded.

On the previous Monday evening he arrested prisoner at the Royal Oak public-liouse at 9 p.m. on another charge. He had six pattern pieo< s of paper in his possession, and from enquires witnees found that he had obtained the paper from the shop of Mr. James Davies, and had sold six pieces at the Royal Oak when now produced. On being charged prisoner said it was his own paper. The same prisoner was also charged with ob- taining a brass tap, value 4s. 6d., by false pre- tences, on the same date, from a plumber named John Hitt, Adare-street, Bridgend,—John Hitt, plumber, said defendant came to his shop on the Monday evening and asked for a tap and asked, when approving of one shown him, if witness would spare it to show to a customer, who he stated as being Dr. Llewellyn. He said Dr. Llew- ellyn had recommended witness to him. Upon asking who he was, he said he was a Mr. Jones, from Swansea," and carried on a large business there. He (the prisoner) said he could gee plum- bers from Swansea, but he did not think it worth while to bring them from Swansea. A man named Dr. Rowlands was going to remove into Dr. Llewellyn's house. Witness did not care to allow his tap to. go away so easily, and asked him to make an appointment in the morning. He said he was bound to have it that night, and asked witness 1o mark the price on the article, so that he could snow it. Prisoner said it was a large job and asked to be allowed percentage. Witness sus- pected something, and watched defendant, who went up the street and into a public-house. He identified the tap produced as the one witness had given him. Witness then went to Dr. Llewellin. and subsequently gave information to the police — Dr. G. J. Llewellyn said he did not know prisoner, neither did he know anything of Dr. Rowlands. of Swansea, nor had he made any arrangement with a man of that name to come to his house.— Police-constable Rees again deposed as to the the arrest, and on being charged with this offence, prisoner said, I received the" tap from John Hitt. I have given him the tap back." He had given the tap up.—Police-sergeant James Rowe said he had made enquiries at Swansea of several medical gentlemen and police officers, and failed to find that there was any Dr. Rowlands resident there. Prisoner had not been known at the address given, neither had he lodged at the place. On the way to Swansea, prisoner told witness that he need not enquire of any Dr. Rowlands, as there was no such person living there.-Prisoner pleaded obtaining credit, and he was formally called to take his trial at the next quarter sessions. -.}"

REVIEWS OF PUBLICATIONS. THE WELSH REVIEW. (6d.) — Tbe second number of the "Welsh Review" is a distinct im- provement on its predecessor. It is lighter., more interesting, and move readable than tfee first number the subjects treatefl in it are mostly felsh questions, and even Mr. W. T. Stead tries to ow that Dilke's ease has a fliatinct beariag on Welsh Disestablishment. The writers are no longer connected with Wales by their titles* or estates alone, but are Welshmen by birth, and in- timately acquainted with Welsh needs and aspira- tions. We congratulate the editor. Mr. E. Bowen Rowlands, on his very interesting second number. The place of honour is assigned to Mr. Stead's article on The Issue in the Forest of Dean." We confess that we cannot see what connection this has with the Principality, and we fail to under- stand how from the point of view of Welsh Disestablishment the issue is of no little interest." Mr. Stead shows great igno- rance of the true meaning of the cry for the Disestablishment of the Church in Wales, if he thinks that the action of the electors of the Forest of Dean, in refusing to acknowledge Mr. Stead's authority as superior to their own con- victions, will prejudice the claims of Wales. The article is readable and characteristic of the writer. We will quote only one sentence the italics are our own. Even to the adulteress our Lord did not say. Neither do I condemn thee. Go and be headmistress in a young ladies boarding school nor did he even say, Go and sin no more' until she had repeated and tacitly confessed her sin. if" Sir (lutrlex Ittilic had done the -su-mi-, this article ■tconld nra-r hare hern written." We are con- strained to admit that no greater service could be done to Sir Charles Dilke than the publication of Mr. Stead's article.—Mr. Marchant Williams con- tributes very interesting, if somewhat sc.itttreu, remarks on the history of the Eisteddfod. Th- drawings of Clwydfardd and Hwfa Moil, by Pilotel. are about the best things we have seen for some time. Mr. Williams has made an obvious slip in saying that the great Carmarthen Eisteddfod was held in 1451 under the patronage of Edward IV.. for Edward only came to the throne in 1420. We quite agree with him that if the time has come for revising the rules of the Eisteddfod Associa- tion, the time has come, likewise, for "I its object and increasing its power." With much of Mr. David Davies'article on the Eisteddfod as a Drag upon National Progress we thorcughlv agree, though we do not believe that his remedy of confining- Eisteddfodau to set places and" set seasons is the right one. There is no doubt that the Eisteddfod has degenerated in many ulaccs into a money-making concern. and that with per- sistent repetition of the same music the training is necessary superficial and the scope painfully con- tracted." His criticism of the literary quality cf the poetical effusions on "The Iledgehoc ani The Rin. or of the "string of the jingling ad- jectives," which is intended to serve as the apothosis •• of some honest but depressingly commonplace grocer is. unfortunately, but too just. We should remember, however, that the Eisteddfod has been the only means of cultivating the talents of many poor Welshmen. The true poet," Mr. Davies says, will emerge into sight. Eisteddfod or no Eisteddfcd." The jtr.'nt poet. un- doubtedly, will but our smaller poets should not he despised. A Burns would sing simply because he couldn't help himself, but how is it that there are hundreds of bards in Wales among the lower classes, whereas there are none such in England. It was Russell Lowell. we believe, who wrote an eloquent defence of minor poets. They have written, he remarked, tomes of very indifferent matter a Cavalier Colonel wrote volume after volume of inane poetry which added nothing to the wealth of the English language or to the happiness of the people. But he wrote one couplet which will ever be remembered. "I had not loved thee, dear, so well, Loved I not honour more." And it is worth while, says Lowell. to encourns-e the writing of voluminous trash, if we can thereby secure one such sentiment. The Eistedd- fod has. without doubt, enccurged the production t of much common-place rhyming by mediocrities, but it has also succeeded in producing Hiraetliog's ó, Åwdl i Heddwch," and Ceiriog's •• Myfanwy Fychan," and Stephen's Literature of the Cymry." The remedy is not to curtail the area of the influence of the eisteddfod, as Mr. Davies pro- poses. but to use a wise discretion in directing the eisteddfod. "The Views of the Member for Treorky fully bears out its early promise as a kindly and humorous skit on the members of the Welsh party. Mr. Staniforth's caricatures of 3lr. Sonley John- stone. Mr. Lascelles Carr, Mr. Alfred Thoinas. and the" Strangers are excellent. Quite one of the the best things in the R»r.iew is the continuation of Mr. Tudor Evans' article on Welsh Periodical Literature." Mr. Evans is thoroughly at home with his subject, and discusses it pleasantly and instructively. We hope that he will bring his article down to our own times. The "Welsh Notes" have the advantage of being on Welsh topics, and we are glad that the editor has taken up the question of the appointment of English- men to public offices in Wales. It seems somewhat strange, however, to see an account of a concert in a monthly magazine. The other articles are The he Drink Question and Legislation." by Mr. W. S. Caine Local Government in Ireland." by Mr. E. V. Knox; "The Drama and Music." bv Lik- non Books of the Month." by the Editor; The Overseer's Wife." a tale by Mr. Reefe Bel- lormie; A Mistaken Kindness." by Mr. Arthur Binstead; and the continuation of Miss "Jane Ambrach's powerful story. Owain Seithenevn." [London Kegan Paul, Trench. Trubner. and Co.. Ld.. Paternoster House, Charing Cross Road. W.C.] CHRISTIAN ECONOMICS WITH REFERENCE TO THE LAXD QUESTION (2d.).—Mr. Albert Spicer's two papers on the Land Question "-one read at the autumnal meeting of the Congregational Union of England and Wales held at "llull in 1882. and the other at the International Council of Congregationalists, held in London this year— have now been re-printed in pamphlet form, and are well worth perusal. The question of the land is one of the most pressing- questions of the day. and to all who wish to understand it and some of the proposed remedies, we would recommend Mr. Spicer s little pamphlet. Mr. Spicer's remedy is simple and drastic but it will be some years before the people of England will consider it as practicable. It appears to me," he says, that the only remedy will be to go back to the principles of former times. Leave the landowners where they areas to occupation, but gradually re-impose on the value of all land a large portiou of the taxation of the country, and simultaneously with- draw an equal amount from that. now imposed on articles of food and the results of labour."

ORIGINAL POETRY.
ORIGINAL POETRY. THE CROSSIVAYS. To while, forsooth, a tedious hour, You even deigned to sit with me: The oaken niche became our bower, The lore-stocked hall our Arcady. We met but by the freak of chance, A pair who empty pastime sought Unsparing1 of your smile and glance. You nothing reeked what ill they wrought. We met as strangers strangers yet Must you and I through life remain To you is granted to forget, To me is given to hope in vain. Ne'er to have met. if I might choose, Or meeting, love, yet not possess My choice would be to love and lose, And losing love, nor love the less. J. Y. E.
