I CANON ALLEN AND BROAD-MINDED…
CANON ALLEN AND BROAD- MINDED CHRISTIANITY. THE CONTROVERSY STILL CONTINUES. To the Editor of the BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,-It was not my intention to take any part in this discussion as long as the Church party kept the war raging within their own ranks, but when they bring men who were an honour to the de- nomination I belong, and to the country that gave them birth, it is time that some one should let E.C.U." know that he will not be allowed to apply his miserable contemptuous epithets to the late Mr Spurgeon with impunity. I thins, Sir, that no one, unless he be one of the most intolerant bigots that ever existed, or one who is entirely ignorant of the good Mr Spurgeon has done in this world, would ever apply to him such epithets as egotism, indulgence, self-seeking pomposity, ignorant arrogance." Any fair or right-thinking man, whether he be High Church or Low Church, or, in fact, of any denomination whatever, who has studied the religious events of the last fifty years will be bound to admit that Mr Spurgeon has been a. wonderful power for good in this country, and, in fact, over the whole world. The good he has done has not been limited to the English-speaking world, for his sermons have been printed in nearly every language in existence. E.C.U.in answer to Canon Allen, when he refers to Mr Spurgeon's friendship, said Be ye not unequally yoked to- gether with unbelievers." There is one thing quite evident, E.C.U." is the only man living in England to-day who ever has applied that passage in the manner he has done to the name of Mr Spurgeon. For the benefit of -1 E.C.U." I append a long list of Church dignitaries who openly mani- fested their sympathy with Mr Spurgeon in his last illness. The list he will see is composed of High, Low, and Broad Church, viz., the Arch- bishops of Canterbury and York the Bishops of Exeter, Liverpool, Ripon, Rochester, Sydney (New South Wales), Winchester, and Worcester; the Dean of Westminster, the Archdeacons of Llan- daff and Liverpool, and Canons Bell, Bullock, Fleming, Jenkins. Palmer, Money, Sidebotham, John Smith, Tugwell, and Wilberi'orce. The re- formed Episcopal and Free Churches of England were represented by Bishops Dickson, Richardson, and Sugden. Resolutions came from almost end- less associations, assemblies, colleges, committees, conferences, congresses, conventions, missions, societies, synods, including all the great religious and philanthropic agencies of the Metropolis, the United Kingdom, and many parts of the continent and the English colonies throughout the world. E.C.U." uses the word indulgence in regard to Mr Spurgeon. I shall give you one instance of his self-dmial out of many that I could tell. On the 20th of May, 1879, the noble sum of £6,248 18s 3d was handed to him as a gift from his loving people. With his usual, and often princely, generosity, he gave £5,000 to further endow the Tabernacle Almshouses, and the remainder he apportioned to other benevolent enterprises. That, E.C.U. is a specimen of the way Mr Spurgeon indulged himself. I think such acts as these will compare favourably with any dignitary of the Chnrch" E.C.U." professes to think so much of. If the English Church Union contains many more individuals composed of such material as E.C.U." who can wonder that Nonconformity has made the vast progress that it has ?—Yours faith- fully, W. PATERSON. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR,-The letter of "E.C.U." in your issue a fortnight ago is remarkable for the interpretation he puts upon the passage of scripture, Giving no offence, that the ministry be not blamed," and the subsequent verses. Apparently, he does not know that those words were written when there was neither Church nor Dissent (as understood now), and were addressed t. Christians, urging them to right living and sepa.-tion from the world. Now, what constituted a Chiistian? Surely, one who trusted in Christ as his Saviour, and owned him as Lord. And this is the Christian of to-day, too, be he Churchman or Dissenttr. That being so, it is evident that E.C.U." is guilty of a gross mis- application of scripture whei he brings forward that passage as a reason why cue Christian should not be proud of the friendship of another. This principle of universal brothers ood is distinctly inculcated by the Lord Jesus Chr'st, e.g., One is your master, even Christ, and all je are brethren Love one another." Therefore, maintain that when Canon Allen advised his < ongregation to attend the watch-night service in the Congrega- tional Chapel, he acted in accordance with the spirit of the New Testament, and net contrary to it. Surely, all that can be done sht \ld be done to establish that love between Ch istian and Christian which is so often enjoin d in the scriptures. The more so as such relatio- q are the outcome of the possession of the Spirit o. Christ, without which we are told we are none ,f His. I am sufficiently well acquainted with Canon Allen to be able to say that he certainly would not for a moment advise his congregation to attend services held by men-however learned-who were not disciples of Christ, and did not seek to extend his kingdom. It is to be hoped that the scales will fall from E.C.U's" eyes that he may understand his Bible better, and thus gain a clearer concep. tion of its teaching. Mr Spurgeon's character needs no defence from me; to revile the dead is certainly not manly. It is cowardly. As to E.C.U'a vaunted intelligence, the public can in some measure judge of its calibre. I would only bring to his mind a familiar proverb. Self-praise is no recommendation." We are proud to have as minister of the Church in Barry a man so animated by the spirit of his Divine Master as our grand old canon.-I am, sir, yours truly, A PARISHIONER OF CANON ALLEN'S. To the Editor of the BARRY DOCK NEWS." DEAR SIR,—I see E.C.U." places his opinions before us in the usual style of the E.C.U. Society, and bases them on the assertion that he is right, and all who think differentlv are wrong. Many so-called religious bodies have set up certain dogmas, and vainly striven to make all men act in unison with those, and where they have opposed them they have done so at the sacrifice of health, liberty, and often of life. Until all people's brains are made exactly alike, and all their eyes look through the same coloured glass, there will be a diversity of thought and action in religious life. Even those who strive to follow the Bible closely do not see all portions of scripture in the same light. Therefore, let us be careful whom we charge with bigotry. Let fhe Bible be our guide. What does E.C.U." think of the following ? Is it really true? A Bishop has been rebuked. The prelate is the Bishop of Winchester. That ecclesiastic had his attention called to a. handbill in which it was announced that the Rev H. L. Young, vicar of St. John's, Portsea, would give an address at an united communion service" at the Presbyterian Church, Portsmouth. At once he sent a letter to the rev. gentleman, in which he remarked, It is my duty to explain to you that the giving of this address will in- volve an infraction of the Church law, and I am sure that on reflection you will feel it right to withdraw from your engagement." Mr Young, however, attended the service, and sent the following reply to the Bishop It is not my intention to commit an illegp.1 act by any proceeding of -uine, but it is sad to ,und that your lordship can so promptly interfere with my Christian liberty, and that you have not merely allowed the Mass for the Dead to be set up in this town, but you have also publicly patronised the pro- moters of this deadly delusion which, in common with myself, you have sworn to be blasphemous fable and dangerous deceit.' With all due respect I cannot understand the equity of such proceedings." I suppose he would look upon the clergy- man as the bigot. Is it not true that the clergyman of the Church of England who strives honestly to fulfil his ordination vows is looked upon as a rara avis ? Can people wonder that the world is so full of veneer, cant, unmanli- ness, and hypocrisy when we who profess to follow Christ too often follow any other but Him ? To those who cannot conform to their ordination vows there is only one honest course open-retire and give up ordination pay. To such let the words of the Apostle be used, although not possibly in the way he meant them—" Come out from among them. Forms and ceremonies will not count for much, I fear, when we shall be tried as by fire." The prayers for the dead, &c., will not benefit us then. E.C.U." states he looks upon the late pastor, C. H. Spurgeon, with contempt, forgetting the general rule to speak well of the dead. E.C.U." accuses Mr Spurgeon of egotism, indulgence, self-seeking pomposity, and ignorant arrogance." Further, he states the constant echo of his every sentence was Lord, I thank Thee I am not as other men are." Whatever Mr Spurgeon's defects were, he knew and lamented over them, but, as an Unitarian said, although I do not agree with him, yet I cannot help respecting him, and if I said otherwise I should not speak the truth-" I cer- tainly appreciate C. H. Spurgeon's good pastoral actions." Has" E.C.U." visited the Stockwell Orphan Asylums, and viewed child-life there? Has he asked these orphans their opinion of C. H. Spurgeon ? There are no truer judges of character than children. Let E.C.U." visit them, and report in an early edition of your valuable paper what he saw and heard there. Let the clergymen of the Church of England and the ministers of other denominations who have not declined to receive help from the late Mr Spurgeon state, if need be, vhether they can endorse the character E.C.U." has given him. If E.C.U." has helped so many orphans, dried up so many widows' tears, lifted the burden of debt off so many sad hearts, lighted up so many dull lives, brought up from the depths of despair into the joy of sins forgiven through the merits of Christ's all-atoning sacriiice so many sick souls as C. H. Spurgeon has, then let ''E.C.U." rejoice, but at the same time carefully look into the life of the late C. H. Spurgeon, and in future think more about what he intends to write before he puts pen to paper. My brotherly advice to E.C.U." is, instead of studying the Church and its accessories, and feeling zealous for these, to look in the good old Book where it states, add to zeal, knowledge," &c., &c., and then will he be more zealous for the honor of, his God than for the shells of idle ceremonies, and his great anxiety will be to get such a fulness of the love of Christ in his own heart that it will compel him to love all those who love and strive to follow the Lord Christ.—Yours, &c., ONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW CANON ALLEN. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." SIR;—Before you close this correspondence let me say one word. I had thought not to take part in this controversy, but the number of anonymous letters you have thought fit to insert has pained me beyond measure, and I ask you to allow me to enter my protest against the cowardly insults that have been heaped upon the revered head of the Canon by unknown names. I heartily agree with the Rector of Cadoxton that the Canon's long life has been sans peur et sans reproche, and none but a set of bigots could possibly have found fault with him. Why have your correspondents not had the manliness of making known their identity ? Were they afraid of persecution, or, on the other hand, of showing up their small, mean, contemptible, and sordid natures, natures without a spark of that virility that makes for man ? Of course, I well know that one or two without names have said a few kind words, but their effect fell flat (as, per- haps, it was intended) because they were unknown. To the Canon I feel certain they gave no comfort, and to his many friends needless irritation and scorn. If they were well meant, I say, then, that all well-meaning persons should have by them the courage of their convictions, leav- ing to sneaking sybarites like E.C.U." the pleasure of darting their poisoned tongues, and returning to the lethal lairs of anonimity in which they love to dwell. Stabbing in the dark is the most loathsome of all crimes, and worthy only of the coward and bigot, for running through il E.C.U.'s" gentlemaly sentences is that dismal bigotry That swells the sail that sets for heaven With blasts from hell. Like A Priest of the Undivided Church." I sincerely hope that E.C.U." is not a clergyman. If he is, let him discover himself, and come out in honest colours, be they spotted or clean.- Yours, &c., D. J. LLOYD. Morley House, Holton-road, Barry Dock. To the Editor of the" BARRY DOCK NEWS." DEAR SIR,—My opponents offer no real defence for their position their only object is to bespatter the plaintiff's attorney with abuse. li They are wiser in their generation than the children of light," for doubtless they can pursue no surer plan to gain the approbation of the profanum vulgus, which is their ambition. I have been accused of bigotry why ? for no other reason than that I endeavour to be consistent in my religious professions, and wish my fellow-church- men to be the same. There is no quarrel between me and your dissenting correspondents, but I think they would show better judgment and truer taste by abstaining from passing sentence on one whose position they evidently fail to understand. They may, if they choose, despise the Prayer Book, yet I cannot but esteem it; further. I am bound to observe its rules and rubrics, and to hold its doctrines. To me it is an oracle of God," since from beginning to end I see nothing in it but the pure and distinct teaching of my only Divine Lord and Saviour and of His Holy Apostles. It is significant that the questions put by me in my first letter have not yet been answered. Your cor- respondent who subscribes himself" Noncon. Quill" confesses he does not understand them. But then he is only an ordinary mortal, which probably implies in his case a decidedly natural man, one little endued with gifts of grace or intellect. Is Noncon." short for nonconse- quential ? At all events, I have seen dozens of geese richly supplied with far worthier quills. I would be sorry to insult any Nonconformist minister. They are, generally, respectable men, sometimes gifted men, though it does not seem to me in any sense true that clergymen suffer by comparison with them. No man who knows any- thing of English Church history can honestly say that that Church ever made a breach in the Catholic body, it simply refused to be ruled by a foreign Bishop, and rejected an accumulation of false doctrines. There is, moreover, strong reason to believe that the original dissenting bodies in England were really brought into existence by the policy of Rome's emissaries. Seeing the strong position of the Catholic Church in our country after it had purged itself of error, Rome sent men professing to be all for reforma- tion, and saying that there was plenty of room for more in England, agitating the minds of some about infant-baptism, of some about episcopacy, of some about the ministry in general. knowing well that there are always numbers of men ready to snap up any novel doctrine they may hear of, and advocate it without giving it due consideration, and then behind these a multi- tude of ignorant persons ready to shout in favour of any prejudice they can be got to form. Thus Rome by crafty tactics delivered a blow at true religion in the British Empire. Know- ing the unspeakable power of a unity based on truth, she endeavoured to divide a nation which had cast out her errors. Come now and let us reason together." says the Holy Spirit of God Jesus Christ is the Word (or Reason ") of God. Let us not then despise reason let us not think that because we hold an opinion that there can be no question as to its truth let us avail ourselves of every means provided by God of find- ing the truth let us cast away prejudice. I see the spirit of Naaman the Syrian in Noncon. Quill," who speaks so slightingly of the hands of a bishop. God is indeed no respecter of persons as persons, but He is a respecter of persons (or waters, or anything else) as means when He has Himself willed to ordain and appoint them as such. Disobedience to God was the sin which brought death into the world, and all our woe." Nor is there any sin more deadly or more prevalent at the present day.-Yours in the One Faith, A PRIEST OF THE UNDIVIDED CHURCH. To the Editor of the BARRY DOCK NEWS." DEAR SIR,—The mischief-makers are very hard up for something to do when they must find fault with the kindly Christian acts of Canon Allen. Every true Christian knows that if they expect to mingle amongst Christians in the future they must not curl up the..r uoses and pass by on the other side now. I have been in churches and chapels of nearly all the different denominations throughout the length and breadth of Britain, but I have not met with anything that shows the mean grovelling self-righteous Pharisee so much as these that have attacked Canon Allen for his genial kindly spirit of Christian brotherhood. If the Carpenter of Nazareth and the Galilean fisher- men were venturing in amongst those that try to drown the light of Heaven by their own glow- worm glare, and not so respectably dressed as they, would they not turn up their noses, and possibly would like to turn them out? If all Churchmen were like Canon Allen, disestablish- ment, that we hear so much about, would be a question for some future generation. MAC.

A FARM LABOURER AMONGST THIEVES…
A FARM LABOURER AMONGST THIEVES AT BARRY DOCK. PRISONER NEVER KNOWN TO DO AN HONEST DAY'S WORK. Edward Keegan (33), sailor, was indicted at the Glamorganshire Assizes on Monday last, for feloniously stealing d64 15s, one 10-cent piece, and other articles, from the person of Richard Evans, and at the same time for using personal violence towards him, at Barry Dock, on November 17th last. Mr Rees Williams prosecuted.—Evans, who lives at Llantwit Vardre, stated that on the day named he was at the rear of some premises in Gueret-street. Barry Dock, when the prisoner, for whom and others he had paid for beer, came behind him, seized him round the waist, rifled his pockets, butted him with his head, and knocked him down.* He was rendered insensible by the prisoner's treatment, and when he came to him- self he found every farthing of his money gone. The prisoner, it was related in the course of the case. was arrested under startling circumstances. Police-constable Charles Boulton forcibly ejected him from the railway station at Dinas Powis because he refused to surrender himself. A fierce struggle ensued. The platform was slippery, and the prisoner got the officer down, rolled him over and ever towards the rails, evidently with a view to throw him under the passing train. Fortunately aid came to the constable, and the prisonar was prevented carrying out his desperate purpose, and safely lodged in the lock-up at Dinas Powis.—A Liverpool police officer proved pre- vious convictions.—In reply to the Judge, witness said hti had never know the prisoner do an honest day's work.—Prisoner: Didn't I open a cocoa room at Islington when I came back from Buenos Ayrea ?—Witness Yes. and carried it on as P. resort for thieves.—Prisoner How could I carry on a cocoa room as a resort for thieves ?—Sentence was deferred.
INTERESTING PRESENTATION AT…
INTERESTING PRESENTATION AT PENARTH. On Thursday evening, the 1st inst., after the usual lodge meeting of the local branch of the National Association of Operative Plasterers, Mr W. Jones in the chair, an interesting presentation too place at the Albion Hotel, the recipient being Mr C. F. W. Tonkin, the hon. secretary of the lodge, as a token of esteem for his efficient aervices to the lodge. The presenta- tion took the form of a tasteful emblem, hand- somely framed, and bearing a suitable inscription. In audition to the members, there were present, Captain Black, Messrs C. Tonkin (senr.), T. E. Jones, Winstone (Cardiff), H. Carpenter (Bowden Villa), A. Tonkin, &c. Ia making the presentation, the chairman delivered a suitable address, and said he thought Mr Tonkin need never be ashamed of looking at the emblem. Without unity they could do but, little, with unity they could accom plish much, and it was only by being united that England had obtained the proud position she now occupied. (Applause.)—Mr C. Tonkin, in thanking the lodge, said that evening would long live in his memory as one of the proudest evenings of his life, because he had received such a valuable testimonial from his fellow-workmen. He would always look with pleasure on the emblem, and begged to thank them all for the courtesy and kindness they had always shown towards him in the lodge. (Applause.—Mr C. Tonkin, sen., also expressed the pride and gratification he felt to see his son so honoured by his fellow-piechanics. He urged upon the men the necessity of recognising their own importance by teing united. Then they would be able to demand better conditions of labour generally. They should avoid the jerry builders, because those men wanted their work hurried in such a way as would prevent the men doing that justice to themselves which they otherwise would. (Cheers.) Captain Black also addressed the meeting.— A capital musical programme was then gone through, songs being rendered by Messrs Tonkin, Murdy, Cornish, Jones. &c., and instrumental music by Mr Tonkin. The visitors and Press were thanked for their presence.
PENARTH AND THE LIQUOR .TRAFFIC.
PENARTH AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC. EXTRAORDINARY DRINK BILL FOR THE YEAR. FULLY 45 PER HEAD CONSUMED. A representative of the Penarth Star and Cog an News had another interview this week with A Man in the Trade with reference to the extra- ordinary extent of the drink traffic at Penarth and the large amount of money thus spent every year. In course of conversation, the Pressman was in- formed that at Penarth the trade reaped profits to the extent of at least 200 per cent. upon the drink supply, and gave statistics in proof of his asser- tion. Cao you give an idea of the value of the drink bill at Penarth per annum ? inquired the reporter. Yes, I have made out an estimate which I think is a reliable one, and I have no hesitation in saying that the amount of intoxicating drinks sold at Penarth for a year represents at least £ 60,000. That is rather a startling total, is it not ?" Yes, it is a large sum. for it means, as near as possible, 45 per head of the population of the town." Proceeding, the gentleman interviewed sug- gested, in order to save the tremendous profits which is thus received by the publicans and others in connection with the drink uu,iiio, that a co- operative supply be established at Penarth. and said he knew a gentleman of considerable ex- perience who was prepared to manage the business for nothirlg for twelve months, and would pro- vide suitable premises free of cost fur the first year.
BARRY SCHOOL TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
BARRY SCHOOL TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. A meeting of the Barry District School Teachers' Association was held on Saturday afternoon last at Holton-road School, Barry Dock, Mr T. Ewbank. Cadoxton (the president) in the chair, when a paper on The Tenure of Teachers was read by Mr J. E. Thorpe, the secretary, and a discussion followed. The customary tete-a-t&te also took piaco.
BARRY DISTRICT SCHOOLI BOARD.I
BARRY DISTRICT SCHOOL I BOARD. I THE CLAIMS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL. The monthly meeting of the Barry District School Board was held on Monday evening last at Holton-road, Barry Dock, the Vice-chairman (Mr J. Rees) presiding. There were also in attendance, Rev J. Price. Dr O'Donnell, Mr B. Lewis, Captain R. Davies, and Dr W. Lloyd Edwards, with Mr W. H. Lewis (clerk), Mr George Thomas (architect), and Mr R. Treharne Rees (the clerk's deputy). THE ROMAN CATHOLIC SCHOOL. Dr O'Donnell, referring to. the minutes of the School Management Committee, said as there were I only three members present so far, the confirma- tion of the minutes should be deferred till the next meeting of the Board, as the same contained some important recommendations with regard to the extension of Holton-road School. He pro- posed that the same be posponed till the next meeting.—Captain Davies considered there was no necessity for deferring the matter, as it had been discussed by a full committee.- Dr. O'Donnell It means a large expenditure, and the matter should be deferred.-REv. J. Price How far has the matter gone ?—Dr. O'Donnell: So far as only to want adoption by the board.- Captain Davies proposed that the minutes be passed, and the Rev. J. Price seconded.—Dr. j O'Donnell said he would like to say a few words on the matter. The question of school accommoda- tion in the district had been before the board on another occasion, and it was then stated that the managers of the Catholic School at Barry Dock had erected the building to the satisfaction of the Education Department, but in reply to the ] department with reference to the Catholic School, the Board stated the same was not required, as there was sufficient school accommodation already. The board had now evidently come to the conclu- sion that the schools at the Holton-road no longer met the requirements of the district. Taking into consideration the board's answer on the previous occasion, and now that the time for increased accommodation had arrived, he considered it should follow that the present Roman Catholic School be recognised as a public elementary one. He thought it was unfair that, simply because it was a Roman Catholic School, it should be deprived of that which they justly claimed as its rights.-Rev. J. Price said in regard to the former occasion when the matter of the Roman Catholic School was raised, the ground he took was that the school was not necessary at all, as they had accommodation for many more children in the board schools. The matter that Dr O'Donnell now brought up was a question for the Board to con- sider. and he could not see that it would hinder Dr O'Donnell giving notice of a resolution to be moved by him in connection with this matter.— Dr O'Donnell: No, I only want to point out that if application had been made for another school the result would be quite different.-The minutes were then adopted. PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRUANT SCHOOL. A letter was read from the Cardiff School Board. in reply to an inquiry from this Board, stating they were not taking any steps to provide a truant school. The subject had been under discussion, but at present they were trying what could be done by sending boys for short terms to the Havannah," and obtaining their release or license. THE ACQUIREMENT OF LAND ON CADOXTON COMMON. The eeal of the Board was affixed to a petition to the Education Department with reference to acquiring land on Cadoxton Common for school accommodation purposes. CONTRACTORS' CERTIFICATES. Mr George Thomas presented a certificate for d6175 for Mr G. Rutter, contractor of the new infants' school in Romilly-road, Barry, and one for JS35 for Mr H. J. Money in connection with the alteration of the old Board-room at Cadoxton School into a cookery kitchen, which had been completed. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT. The financial statement of the Board for the school year ended 29th September, 1893, was pre- sented and signed by the Cuairman. LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF OCARDIANS. The Clerk read a letter from the Cardiff Board of Guardians stating that they had considered the local attendance officer's report, and one by their relieving officer with reference to the Kelly family at Barry Dock, Mr Kelly being well-known to the latter officer. It did not appear that they could do anything further in the case at present, and they had accordingly decided to send the reports mentioned to the police and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.-The Clerk was instructed to write to the police in the matter. MISCELLANEOUS. No tenders were received for the supply of fire- wood, and it was decided to obtain the same as before for the present.—On the motion of Dr Lloyd Edwards, it was resolved to allow the tonic-solfa class at Holton-road School to be continued, the Board granting the use of the room, &c.-The appointment of Mr Auckland to fill the place of Mr T. R. James at Holton-road boys' school, and Mr Hurley in place of Mr D. M. Davies at Barry School was now confirmed.
THEFT BY A PENARTH SEAMAN.
THEFT BY A PENARTH SEAMAN. DISGRACEFUL DISCLOSURES AT THE POLICE COURT. At Penarth Police-court on Monday last-before Mr S. Batchelor and Mr J. Pyke Thompson—Henry William Williams, marine fireman, was charged with stealing 15s. the property of Mrs Annie Eliza Hallett, of 30, Dock-road. Penarth, on th6 2nd instant. Mrs Hallett said she was living apart from her husband. Defendant had lived with her off and on ever since he was a boy. He had not done much during the last four months, and she had maintained him. She lost 15s last Friday night, money she had put aside for the rent. De- fendant came to her as she sat by the fire, at nearly eleven o'clock at night, and asked for money for drink. She refused, and he then took the sum in question out of a bag. She asked defendant to put back the money, as she could not afford to give it him. He, therefore, left the house with it.—De- fendant said the prosecutrix was his cousin, and he had been living with her as her husband for some time, and what was her's was his. He denied stealing the money, and said he was told to fetch beer with it.-P.C. Benjamin Skyrme proved the arrest, and Inspector Rutter said prosecutrix lived a very loose life, encouraging men and women to come to her house, and she had also been cohabit- ing with defendant.—Prosecutrix said her rent- book was in her own name, and she had not lived with defendant as his wife, for she would lose her allowance by doing so.—The Bench considered there was no doubt prosecutrix had lived with defendant as stated, showing a very disgraceful state of things, and the charge against the accused would be dismissed.

PENARTH POLICE COURT.
PENARTH POLICE COURT. MONDAY.—Before Mr J. S. Bachelor and Mr J. Pyke Thompson. ALLEGED CRUELTY TO A HORSE AT PENARTH. William Powell, driver, and William Thomas, coal dealer, Penarth, were charged on remand with cruelty to a mare by working it whilst the same was in an unfit condition, on the 16th ultimo.—In- spector Richard Warr, R.S.P.C.A., prosecuted.- Additional evidence in support of the charge was given by Mr W.

LOCAL FOOTBALL. CADOXTON JUNIORS v. ROATH STARS. Played at Cadoxton on Saturday last. The visitors started the game with the wind and sun at their backs, T. Griffiths returning into their 25, where the Juniors had by far the best of the game. From a scrum, T. Griffiths secured and, rounding his oppon- ents, seemed likely to score, when he knocked the corner touch flag, and the try was not allowed. Out of some loose play in the Stars 25, D. Griffiths picked up and ran in with a try. The kick at goal failed. The drop-out was followed up by the Stars, and Woodfield was collared in his own 25 before he could return. A. F. Hill and M. Evans dribbled out, and kicking rather hard, gave the Stars' back a chance to drop a goal; a minor resulting. The kick-off was returned over the line, and Griffiths kicked dead. Woodfield being compelled to do the same thing soon after. Just before half-time the Juniors took play to the other end cf the field, and had hard lines in not, scoring. Half-time score:—Cadoxton Juniors, one try: Roath Stars, three minors. W. Gore re-started for the Juniors, and the ball going over the line the Stars touched down. C. Frampton secured from the drop-out, and ran to near- the line before he was collared. The Juniors now pressed hard, and, but for the splendid play of Lewis, the Stars' back would certainly have piled on a score. After several unsuccesful attempts, T. Griffiths scored in the corner. No goal resulted from the kick. W. Gore put in a long return to the kick- off, securing a second minor. A. F. Hill secured in the Stars' 25, and put in a good ran to near the line, where the ball was kicked over and touched down. Several minors now fell to the Juniors as the results of shots for goal. From a serum about six yards off the line, Davies received and got over, but before he could ground was pulled back, and A. F. Hill dropped on the ball. The visitors appealed against this, the referee allowing a minor only. Passing was now indulged in by the homesters, and C. Frampton, being the last to receive, was distinctly unlucky in not. scoring, losing the ball after he was over the line. Owing to a tendency to winging on the part of one or two of the Juniors' forwards, the halves had little chance of getting the ball away to the three quarters, and thus preventing any additional score. Final score:—Cadoxton Juniors, two tries and six minors; Roath Stars, three minors. Referee, Mr T. Williams, Dinas Powis F.C. BARRY DISTRICT v. BARRY TOWN A.P.C' A match was played between these promising teams at the Witchill Athletic Grounds, Cadoxton-Barry, on Saturday afternoon last, and after a good game resulted in a draw, each side scoring a goal.
