Oakfield on Wednesday evening between eight and nine. Stem. with whom he lodged. gave him his clothes in a bag which he put in the forecastle. Defendant came down to the ship with him. He (prosecutor) gave Stein an advance note for £ 2, due for clothes and board, &c. He went to his bag as he was wet, and wanted to change. He found instead of clothes a bag full of rags. He went to the captain and informed him of the matter. The second mate refused to let him go on shore, and as the ship went through the gate he jumped on the stanchions. Stein saw him there, came to him, struck him on the head with an instrument which he had, and said. You son or a b-, I'll drown you." A dock-gate man named Couch came to his assistance, as defendant was kicking his hruids and trying to get him into the dock.—William Couch said he was on duty at the Penarth gates on Wednesday evening last. He saw prosecutor trying to get ashore. He was trying to get ashore by the gates, and when witness looked around there was a scuffle going on. He went and saw defendant trying- to loose prose- eator's hands, and to push prosecutor off into the dock. He saw defendant strike witness about the head several times.-Defendant said prosecutor went about trying to get money on advance notes from ships he joined and then left. He had two such notes in his pocket.—The Bench said it w.is a very brutal assault, and defendant- would be fined A3 and costs, or a month.—At the end of the Git- ting defendant tried to get a summons against prosecutor for obtaining clothes. &e., by false pre- tences.—This the magistrates refused to grant.

THE EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. On Monday evening a meeting of employers and shop assistants was convened by the committee of the Barry Shop Assistants to discus-, the practibi- lifcy and necessity for early closing. Owing to a. misunderstanding- as to the time of meeting, a number of employers who came went away. Mr. A. E. Jones presided, and amongst those present were :—Mr. E. Gould (Barry), Mr. D. 1. Jones (Barry), Mr. J. M. Young (IIolton-road). Mr. W. H. Burroughs, and Mr. Soi-oboizzi (Thompson- street). Mr. Osborne (Cadoxton- Mr. Bennett (Barry Dock), and Mr. W. H. Guest (sec.), Mr. Llewellyn (treasurer). &0.—The Chairman read a. letter of apology from Mr. George Garnett for in- I si attendance, Mr. Garnett expressing his sympathy with the movement, and promising to fall in with any reasonable arrangement. (Applause.) The Chairman next explained the reason why the assistants had asked the attendance of the employ- ers. They thought they would not be acting right in coming to any definite determination without con- sulting their employers, as early closing would affect- them very much, and knowing that they were in the majority of cases favourable to early closing, the assistants thought they would help them with their more matured experiences. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman then called upon Mr. Davies (Cadoxton) to move a resolution on the subject.—This Mr. Davies did, and the Chairman asked Mr. Young to second it.—Mr. Young said- before seconding, that resolution, he would be pleased if the committee would give them fuller details of the result of the canvas undertaken recently. — Mr. W. H. Guest, secretary, then read out the roll of those employers who had signed in favour of early closing. Only about half a dozen tradesmen had refused to sign, and they would do 60 in most ca.ses when their fellow tradesmen had done so. In fact it was only a matter of one waiting for the other.—Mr. Young thought that owing to tlieemallness of the number of tradesmen present it would be advisable to adjourn -the meeting, as they could not come to any definite determination, it was of no use for some of the tradesmen to shut up their shops whilst others kept open. They had his sincerest sympathy with them in their efforts as long as they were conducted in a proper manner.—Mr. Davies with- drew his motion on condition that those trades- men present should co-operate with the eom- mittee in making arrangements for the next meeting.—The opinion of the trades- men present was that it would be preferable for the assistants' committee to still carry on the movement.—Several of tradesmen having expressed their opinions for and against, it was decided, on the motion of Mr. Young, seconded by Mr. Gould, that a meeting of employers and assistants be con- vened for Wednesday fortnight, the meeting to be held at the Public Hall, Thompson-street, at 7 p.m. -This was agreed to.—-Mr. Gould suggested the desirability of an independent gentleman taking' the chair.—This was concurred in by all present, and Mr. Young undertook to write to Mr. D. T. Alexander, President of the Chamber of Commerce, and ask him to preside.Afr. Yoting,.ti-id the other tradesmen were thanked for their attendance and co-operation, and the usual votes of thanks termi- nated the proceedings.

THE PRICE OF MEAT. 6 8 WHAT KEEPS IT UP ? INTERVIEW WITH MR. W.JENKINS, OF JRHOOSE, BARRY. A representative of the Western Mail on Satur- day afternoon interviewed Mr.W. Jenkins, of Rhoose Farm, Barry, on the meat question. Mr. Jenkins has had considerable experience in raising stock. and some years ago, as an experiment opened a shop at Barry for the purpose, of selling the same retail on his own account. When asked for his views on the question of the selling price of meat, which is at present agitating the public mind, Mr. Jenkins said that he had had four years and a half's experience in retailing his own stock in a rather extensive way at Barry, and thought, therefore, he could speak upon the subject with some authority. By adopting that system," queried our repre- sentative, you were able to test what sum' the middleman secures by buying and selling ?" Yes. For the first three years the business paid me very well indeed, but after that time, on account of disadvantageous circumstances, over which I had no control, I found I did not do so well. and I eventually gave the business up." By your experience of the prices you got for your stock prior to selling it by retail and what it fetched at your shop, what do you estimate were the profits of the middleman Well. about 25 per cent. When I opened busi- ness at Barry the retail business was a good one, and that has to be taken into consideration. At different periods the butcher experiences hard times, and he has to take advantage of good times to pull up.' The butcher who does away with the middle- man and buys his stock from the farmer would, of course, be able to secure greater profits than the man who buys through the mildlei-naii Of course." At the present time stock is cheap ? Yes, and it must be n, happy time for the re- tailer: but y,- u must remember that the butcher experiences bad times, and that his expenses are very heavy. Indeed, few people know anything about the heavy claims he has to meet." Do you think the retailers take any undue advantage and charge more than they really ought, considering the price which they pay for the stock ? I must honestlv say I do not think such is the case. Some may be in a position to do so, but, as you know, they cannot take much ad- vantage." Have you read the statements which have been published in the Western Mail with regard to the profits of the retailer Cl. Yes but I cannot say I agree with all of them. People ought to consider the expenses the butchers have to meet. I remember well when I kept business myself at Barry, before I could have any profit for myself I had to clear about tg a week, and than I had to put up with the waste, c. So you say, generally, that the prices charged by the retailer are nothing more than is necessary to give them a small profit and to cover the ex- penses they have to meet and you say so because you have yourself been your own feeder, butcher,, and retailer ?" Yes. I do." The interview then closed. INTERVIEW WITH A COWBRIDGE FARMER. One of our representatives had an interview with a well-known Cowbridge farmer on Saturday, in the course of which that gentleman stated that during the 42 years he had been in business he had never known stock so low in price as at pre- sent. except on one occasion, nearly 40 years ago. He, however, had had no difficulty in obtaining 6Ad. per lb. for both cattle and sheep, which, con- sidering the depression, was a satisfactory price. Any farmer who brought store cattle to market had great difficulty in selling, and very often had to deal at ruinous rates. In his experience he had known both beef and mutton at Is. IHd. a lb. The butchers were, no doubt; making a good profit at the present time, but it must be remembered that the offal, skins, &0., did not realise anything like the same figure they did several years ago.

POACHING AT SULLY. Wm. Harley" Henry Harley, John Kingston, and James Maloney, of Cadoxton, were charged at the Penarth police court on Monday with two charges, one of poaching and the other for wilfully damaging a wall at Sully, the property of Mr. Wm.Thoma*.—Police-constable Boulton said that on the 24th, at five p.m., he saw the defendants on a piece of land, known as the Warren, Sully. They all walked away to about 50 yards with the exeeption of Henry Harley, and stopped when they saw him. When he first saw them they were in a wheat field the other side of the wall. He searched Henry Harley as he seemed bulky, and found a live rabbit on him. He went to where he first saw defendants, and found a ferret iu a hole, Henry Harley said it was his. On the following low morning he found three nets where he first saw thHm. Kingston said he was sorry, and Maloney said it was the first time he had been there, but the rest eaid nothing. The wall was broken down for about four yards as if they had been attempting to get the ferret out. He had been there in the morning, and the wall was all right then.—Mr. Wm. Thomas said the damage done to the wall was about 3s.—Henry and William Harley were fined 40s. and costs, and the other two 20s. and costs. They were each fined Is. and 3s. damages for breaking the wall.
