Y GONGL GYMREIG. t
Y GONGL GYMREIG. t LLYTHYR AT GYMRY'R CAMBRIAN. GAIR unwaith eto, a'r diweddaf am y tro hwn, 0 LANDRINDOD. Mae y lie wedi myned mor ofnadwy o lawn fel yr wyf fi bron methu a chael lie i droi nac i gysgu yma, ac yr wyf wedi cael annwyd dychrynllyd yn y fargen, o'r fath waethaf a gefais mewn unrhyw fan erioed. Soniais yn fy llythyr blaenorol fod hen lane o Sir F6n yn aros yn yr un ty a mi yma. Wel, mae efe a minnau wedi cael ein gosod i gysgu yn yr un bedroom y nosweithiau diweddaf hyn, a byny ar dop y lofft uchaf. A ydyw hen lanciau,o angen- rheidrwydd, yn fwy dibarcb Da rbyw feidrolion Graill ? Modd bynag, gan fod yr annwyd yma wedi gwneuthur havoc o'm pibellau gwynt, yr wyf yn cael trafferth dychrynllyd i ddringo i fyny mor uchel. Ond y mae'r brawd o Fon yn gydymaith tra hoff, ac y mae'r naill o honom yn dipyn o ddyddanwch i'r llall. Yn wir, yr wyf braidd yn hoff o bobl Mon, yn gyffredinol, er yr adeg y bum yn aros yn yr ynys, mewn lie o'r enw Llanfaelog, nid yn nepell o Gaergybi. ST. LUBBOCK'S DAY. Mae y dydd heddyw wedi dwyn mwy o ymwelwyr nag arfer i Landrindod yma, am y rheswm ei fod yn ddydd gwyl; ond mae yn debyg taw ymwelwyr am y dydd yn unig ydyw lluaws o'r newydd-ddyfodiaid hyn. Chwareu teg i Syr John Lubbock am y rhan a gymmerodd aicrhau dydd gwyl ychwanegol i'r rhai sydd yn treulio y nifer amlaf o'u dyddiau mewn Uafur a phryder. Tueddu i gyfyngu, mewn rhyw ystyr .Y neu'i gilydd, ar ryddid dynion y mae nifer fawr o'n deddfau gwladwriaethol, ond dyraa fesur a'i duedd i Jacio a rhydlhau tipynar hualauy bywyd cymdeithasol. Ond rhaid i mi fyned yn y blaen yn awr i draethu tipyn o'm barn am teimlad o barthed i berionau a phethau yn Llandrindod yn ystod tymmor fy arosiad i yn y lie. YR YMWELWYR. Ceir yma lawer iawn o amrywiaeth yn eu plith —hen ac ieuainc, cyfoethog a thlawd, dyagedig ac annysgedig, call a ffol, &c. Tybiaf fod yr elfen Gymreig yn bur gryf yma ar hyn o bryd, a pharablir llawer iawn yn acenion yr hen iaith anwyl. Tybir hefyd fod yma fwy o Gymry y deheudir ar yr adeg bresennol nag sydd yma o rai o'r gogledd, er fod yma gryn nifer o honynt hwythau hefyd. Y mae yma, bid sicr, lawer iawn o Saeson hefyd. Mewn lie o'r fath yma y ceir cyfleusdra iawn i gymharu y Cymro a'r Sais. Daw neillduolion y ddau i'r golwg yn ymyl eu gilydd. Waeth dyweyd y gwir a bod yn onest ni fedraf fi yn fy myw fyned i fewn i fynwes y Sais. Mae rhywbeth mor oer a mursenaidd o'i gwmpas. Dyweded ef yr hyn a fyno am poor Taffy: mae yn Ilawn cystal gwr ag ef, ac yn llawer mwy cymdeithasgar a dirodres. Trueni dybryd fod rhai Cymry mor wasaidd i'r Saeson. Gellir meddwl wrth ymddygiad ac ystum dra gostyngedig ambell Gymro yn mhreaennoldeb od o Sais, mai wrtho ef, druan, y llefarwyd y geiriau hyny yn more y byd, Ar dy d6r y cerddi, a phridd a fwytei." MOESOLDEB A CHREFYDD YN LLANDRINDOD. Cyn belled ag y mae cryn lawer o brofiad ac adnabyddiaeth bersonol o Landrindod a Llanwrtyd yn fy nysgu, buaswn yn barod i ddywedyd fod moesoldeb cyffredinol y ddau le yn dra uchel. Nid oes meddwdod na therfysg yn tori ar eu heddwch tawel. Gallaf feddwl hefyd fod yr elfen grefyddol yn fywiog a chref ym mysg ymwelwyr y ddan le. Mae yr addoldaj braidd yn orlawnion ar y Suliau. Prysuraf yn y blaen bellach i ddyweyd ychydig am rai cymmeriadau neillduol ac adnabyddus a gyfarfuais yn y lie hwn yn ystod ydyddiaudiweddaf T PARCH. J. RICHARDS, J.P., RHEITHIOR ABERFFRAW, SIR FON. Yr wyf yn ei adwaen ef er ys blynyddau beUach, ac y mae yn enedigol o'r un parth o Sir Aberteifi a minnau. Ordeiniwyd ef flynyddau lawer yn ol yn Llandaf, a bu yn gurad yn ngthymmydogaeth Pontypool, Mynwy. Bu wedi hyny yn gurad yn Cyffin, gerllaw Conwy, yn Ngogledd Cymru. En drachefn yn gurad yn Ngbaergybi, ac yna daeth i fod yn ficer Amlwcb, ar ol y diweddar Nicander. Am y chwarter eaarif diweddaf mae Mr. Richards wedi bod yn Beriglor Aberffraw, yr hon, fe allai, yw y fywioliaeth eglwysig oreu yn Nghymru. Mae yn un o'r rhai goraf, sut bynag. Mae gan Mr. Richards werth miloedd lawer o eiddo yn Llandrindod kwells. Efe ydyw perchenog y gwestty preifat a elwir Ye Wells," yr hwn sydd dy nodedig o lewyrchus a llwyddiannus. Deallaf fodMr. Richards wedi ymgymmeryd a gwaddoli pedair neu bump o eglwysi cymharol dlodion yn Sir Aberteifi, megis Llanilar, Tregaron, Blaen pennal, &c. Mae i'w ganmol yn fawr am ei haelfrydedd. EDWARD DAVIES, YSW., J.P., PORT TALBOT. Mae y boneddwr caredig nchod a'i deulu yn aros o dan yr un gronglwyd a minnau. Ni chefais yr hyfrydwch o'i gyfarfod erioed o'r blaen, ac y mae yn ddrwg-genyf hyny, gan y credaf ei fod yn foueddwr gwerth ei gyfarfod a'i adnabod. Mae Mr. Davies yn wr tra chyhoeddus a dylanwadol yn nghylchoedd pwysicaf Methodistiaeth Galfinaidd yn Nghymru. Deallaf ei fod wedi bod yu dal rhai o'r swyddau pwysicaf a ganiateir i leygwyr y cyfundeb en llenwi. Mae yn specimen o'r fatk oreu o ddynoliaeth corff ac enaida thafod- leferydd gwyr bro Morganwg. Deallaf ei fod yn ymwelydd cysson a Llandrindod er ys blynyddau lawer. Hyderaf fod iddo flynyddau liiaws eto yn yator, i barhau ei ymweliadau a'r lie. Y PARCH. D. DAVIES, BRIGHTON. Mae Cymru benbaladr, yn gystal a Lloegr, yn adnabyddus iawn ag enw y boneddwr uchod, fel pregethwr, darlithiwr, ac awdwr campus. Efe ydyw awdwr doniol y Ilyfr destlus Echoes from the Welsh Hills," ac amryw lyfrau eraill. Efe hefyd ydyw eolygydd llwyddiannus y Christian Pictorial. Cefais y plescr o'i wrando yn siarad ryw brydnawn yr wythnos ddiweddaf yn yr Albert Hall, Llandrindod. Yr oedd iddo wrandawyr astud a pharchus lonaid y lie, ac yr oedd yntau yn ei ddillad goren, ac yn deilwng o hono ei hun. Mae wedi ymadael a'r lie erbyn hyn, ac y mae ei le yn wag ar ei ol, er cynifer o fodau dynol rsydd yma. Fe allai mai nid pawb sydd yn gwybod taw brodor o blwyf Llan- liawddog, ger Caerfyrddin, ydyw Mr. Davies. Mae yn glod i'r wlad a'i maccodd." T PARCH. B. S. THOMAS, ABERCYNON. Yn Llandrindod, y flwyddyn hon, y cefais gyfleusdra am y tro cyntaf i adnabod yn ol y cnawd," y meddyliwr galluog uchod. Yr oeddwn, er's tro bellach, yn pyfarwydd a'i gynnyrchion ar duda-lenan y Traethodydd. Athronydd duwinyddol, wrth ei grefft a'i anianawd, ydyw Mr. Thomas. Tybiaf mai cymharol ychydig, yn yr oes wammal hon, sydd a gogwydd eu meddyliau i'r un cyfeiriad i'r eiddo Mr. Thomas. Mae yn wirioneddol alluog. Un o'i gynnyrchion llenyddol diweddaf oil yw ei adolygiad ar lyfr Mr. Adams ar "Paul yn Ngoleuni'r lesu. Ymddengys y llwydda Mr. Thomas yn ddehenig ac effeithiol iawn i ddangos Adams yn ngolcuni yr Iesu a Paul," gan Iwyr ymgadw oddiwrth bob oecraeth bersonol. Dywedai Mr. Thomas wrthyf nad yw ef yn adwaen Mr. Adams yn berrocol o gwbJ. Clywais rywun yn dyweyd fod rhai o aelodau cynnulleidfa Grove-street, Liverpool, wedi gwneud eu goreu i werthu y copiau o lyfr Mr. Adams. Beth pe ymgymmerai rhai o foneddigesau ieuainc y gynnalleidfa hono (merched y blaenoriaid, &c., os oes yno rai felly i'w cael) & han had da" liyfr Mr. Thomas ymhlith yr "efrau" sydd wedi eu hau o'i flaen ? Cofier mai dim ond taflu awgrym caredig yr ydym ni, wrth basio. Fe allai mai Mr. Thomas ydyw y meddyliwr galluocaf a fedd y "Corff" yn Morganwg. Gan hyny, bydded iddynt ei fawrhau a'i werthfawrogi, megis y dylent. Mae y fath beth a rhagfarn noeth yn sefyll yn erbyn dyrchafiad ambell ddyn. Yn America y dygwyd Mr. Thomas i fyny, er I mai brodor o Sir Gaerfyrddin ydyw. Ni chafodd y manteision addysg goraf. Math o Samuel Drew ydyw, wedi cyfodi i enwogrwydd yn ngrym ei allu ei hun a gras ei Dduw. Y GAIR HIRAF YN YR IAITH GYMRAEG :— J LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDRO- BWLLTYSSILIOGOOOGOCH. Cafodd fy ngbyfaill o Fon (yr hen lane) a minnau gryn dipyn o hwyl yn y ty yma ryw noswaith wrth glywed dau o Lundeinwyr Seisnig yn ceisio seinio yr enw hir uchod. Gwyr y J cyfarwydd mai enw ar blw-f yn ynys Môn, ac ar | fin y Fenai, yw y gair ac yn y plwyf hwn y mae cartref y cyfaill o F6n sydd yn cyd-lettya a mi yma. Gyda Haw, bydd efe yn troi ei wyneb yn ol bore yfory i fyned i fwynhau Mon a'i thirionwch unwaith eto; ac ymddengys ei fod yn meddwl mor uchel o'r fam-ynys ag y gwna y brawd athrylithgar, Gwilym Mathafarn, o Lerpwl— yntau hefyd yn frodor o'r un parth. "ALEPH, BETH, GIMEL, DALETH." Lle yn iawn am bob math o banesion ac ys- toriau ydyw Llandrindod. Cyfarfyddir yma, yn achlysurol, a. rhai o'r pencampwyr am ystori dda. Y dydd o'r blaen, cefais ddifyrwch anghyffredin wrth wrandaw un o oreugwyr e;n cenedl yn dywpyd hanesyn am yr hyn a gymmerasai le rhwng cyfaill iddo ef ag un o lenorion Debeudir Cymru yma. Mae y lienor hwnw yn ysgrifenydd tra charlamus, ac yn tynu cryn lawer ar ei ddych* ymmyg ei hUll, fel y gellir casglu. Rhuthra i ys- grifenu fel ffeitbiau bethau nad oes sylfaen iddynt o gwbl; math o chwyn afiach ydynt, sydd wedi tyfu ar ymylon siglenydd ei ymenydd ef ei hun Ond, i fyned ymlaen gyda fy ystori. Yr oedd y gwr dan sylw wedi bod yn ysgrifenu gyda llith- rigrwydd ar faterion Hebreig, ac, yn ol y ceallais, ar nodweddion a theitbi y Gymraeg. Mewn can- lyniad i hyny, mae rhyw gyfaill yn ei gyfarfod, ac yn dechreu profi swm ei wybodaeth o hen iaith yr luddewon. Y canlyniad fu i'r ymffrostiwr orfod addef Ra wyddai ddim oil am yr iaith Heb- raeg-ddim cymmaint ag enwan llythyrenau'r Wyddor! Nid adwaenai luniau Aleph a Beth Y fath hyfdra sydd gan ryw ddosbarth o ddynion yn yr oeg hon. 0 tempora 0 mores! Y DIWEDDAR ESGOB LLOYD. Dywed diareb Ffrengig nad oes dim mor sicr iTr hyn sydd annnebyg a dywed un hen bennill Cymreig fel hyn Dysgwyl pethau gwych i ddyfod, Croes i hyny maent yn d'od." Gwr cryf, cadarn, i bob ymddangosiad, oedd Esgob Lloyd. Gellid medddwl fod ei esgyrn wedi eu gwneuthur o bres, ac na fenai clefyd na chys- tudd arno, o leiaf am flynyddau hir. Ond, wele, yr annhebyg a ddaeth. Mae yn barod i fyned i dy ei hir gartref," a bydd wedi ei csod ynddo cyn y daw'r llinellau byn o flaen Ilygaid y dar- llenydd. Dyn go gyflawn ydoedd y Dr. Lloyd- Cardi i'r ton. Meddai brofiad amrywiol-o siop y riilledydd yn Nghaerfyrddin i fainc yr EEgob yn Mangor-fawr-yn-Ng-wynedd. Mae rhywbeth hapus yn yr idea o ddringo mewn bywyd. Pan mae dyn yn cael ei eni mewn palas, ac yn marw mewn palas, 'does dim fun mewn peth felly-mae wedi aros yr un man ar byd ei fywyd. Ond pan fyddo un a anwyd a'r gaib, nen'r nodwydd ddur, neu'r whip megis yn ei law, yn llwyddo i ddyfod yn dduc neu'n arglwydd cyn marw, yr wyf fi yn barod i dd'weyd am ddyn felly, Well done, boy yn ei fywyd, ac hefyd wedi iddo farw. Profodd Dr. Lloyd ei bun yn ysgolfeistr godidog, a chaf- odd Cymru lawer salach esgobion nag ef, o amser bwy gilydd, er yr awgryma yr oracl dysgedig o Gaerdydd (yr hwn sydd yn proffesu gwybod bron yr holl ddirgeledigaethau) nad oedd yn rhyw lawer o success fel Esgob. Y gwirionedd yw fod yr Esgob Lloyd yn ddyn rhy gall i ddyfod i fyny, neu, feallai, i ddyfod i lawr, at safon ryw ddos- barth o feimiaid bychain, bach. Reddwch i'w lwch. Rhaid aros yn y fan yma yn awr: mae ysgrifenu, ar hyn o bryd, yn boen. Wrth deithio, y dydd o'r blaen, rhwng Llan- ymddyfri a Llanwrtyd, daeth cynnwysiad y pen- nillion oanlynol i fy meddwl, y rhai a linynais wrth eu gilydd wedi cyraedd o honof i ben fy nhaith BWTHYNOD GWYNION CYMRU.

NODION WRTH BASIO. Gwaeddi am awyr oedd y bobl yn Nghapel Gomer nos Sabbath diweddaf. Yr oedd yradeilad eang yn orlawn, ac yn wahanol i arfer, cafwyd dwy bregeth-un yn Seisneg gan ddyn ieuanc, mab Dr. Thomas, gweinidog enwog gyda'r Bed yddwyr yn Toronto, America ac un arall Gym- reig gan y gweinidog, yn Hawn o "amrywiaeth gogoneddus." Datgauwyd unawd swynol hefyd gan foneddes ieuanc o Lloegr; a boneddwr o'r enw Mr. Jones, o Ammanford, ddechrenodd y cyfarfod. Yr oedd amryw o ymwelwyr achlysurol ereill yn bresenol; a chyda'r fath dalentau wedi cydgyfarfod, cafwyd hwyl gyda phobpeth. Rhag eu blaen yr elo'r Gomeriaid. Yn Eisteddfod Noddfa, Treorci, dydd Llun di- weddaf, enillodd parti cymysg o gapel Ebenezer wobr o 410 a bathodyn aur am y datganiad goreu o'r Blodeuyn Olaf." Dau barti oedd yn cynyg, ond, yn ol y gymeradwyaeth uchel a gawsant gan Dr. Rogers, y tebygolrwydd yw y bnasent wedi curo dau-ar-ugain yr un mor rhwydd. Dymunwn longyfarch eglwya Ebenezer, a'r dref, ar eu medd- jant o gorff o ganwyr mor swynol. Maent wedi enill13 allan o 14 o gystadleuaethau. Gesyd y fuddugoliaeth ddiweddaraf hon bluen arall yn nghap Mr Tom Morris; ac os a yn mlaen fel hyn yn hir, bydd ei gap yn bin* i gyd! Cyfeilir i'r Parti gan Miss Maggie Jones, Waunwen.

THE "LITTLE MINISTER" AT THE…
THE "LITTLE MINISTER" AT THE GRAND THEATRE. Mr. J. M. Barrie's charming comedy is paying its second visit to the Grand Theatre, Swansea, this week, and inasmuch as the company producing it is the same, so far as the important characters are concerned, as that which delighted large houses last October, it will be understood that the performances are of a very high standard. Miss Grace Lane who again takes the part of Lady Babbie," is an accomplished actress, and she brings to her interpretation of her difficult part°rare powers of sympathy. Mr. Kenneth Douglas as The Little Minister is as good as ever. The long run of the piece has certainly not affected either Miss Lane's or Mr. Douglas's acting, and Mr. Harry Witts as t. Snecky Hobart" and Mr. John Nesbitt as Thomas Whamond" are as cannie a pair of Scotch elders as ever stepped upon the stage. Alto- gether the production of "The Little Minister" is an elaborate one, scenery, dresses, and acting being alike excellent. Next week a good company will produce Pygmalion and Galatea "-a play which has had a successful career up to the present-at the Grand Theatre.

------------SOUTH WALES STOCK…
SOUTH WALES STOCK AND SHARE MARKET. SUPPLIED BY MESSRS. THACKERAY AND CO.. STOCK AND SHARE BROKERS. CARDIFF. August 10, 1899. RAILS.—There is still a great lack of activity in this market, and the holidays have considerably interfered with business generally. The enquiry for locals has been of a very limited character. Prices, however, have not varied materially. A little more attention has been given toBarrys and fair parcels of new, preferred and deferred have changed hands, quotations remaining unchanged. Cardiff preferred is still in demand, but scarce. Very little moving in Port Talbots. A few preference have been dealt in. The report of this company is just issued. The usual 4 per cent. is paid on the preference, and 95,966 carried for- ward. Rhymnevs continue a quiet market. The preferred have dropped somewhat, the closing price being about 2 below last week. Vale of Glamorgans inactive. Rhondda and Swansea Bays a neglected market. A moderate business has taken place in Taff Vales, which, after touch- ing 83t, improved to 83f, but the closing price is about t below last weeks. BANKS.—London and Provincials continue to be well enquired for, and several parcels have changed hands. A few dealings have also taken place in Metropolitans. Quotations all round are firm. COLLIERIES. Dividend announcement by D. Davis and Sons, who pay all arrears (3 half years) on the preference and n per cent. per annum on the ordinary, has strengthened this market. Ordinary, with a fair business dor.e, have improved about i and the preference J. Albions are better. A few Penrikybers have been dealt in, but the closing price of these is about lower. Albions, Davis and Sous, and North's debentures wanted, and a little Powell Duffryn debenture is offering. IRONS.—A fairly active market in Tredegars and Ebbw Vales. The former shew a rise of i and the latter have also improved £ on last week's markings. Rhymneys quiet. MISCELLANEOUS.—Spillers and Bakers ordin- ary are in demand.

The bazaar was opened by Mrs. Herbert Lloyd, of Cilybebill, who, in a very appropriate speech, stated the objects, and said that upwards of X300 was required to clear the debt on the two churches and the expenses about to be incurred on the church schools. Mrs. Lloyd was presented with a very hand- some bouquet by the promoters of the bazaar. Mr. E. H. Hedlpy, the vicar's churchwarden, in the absence of the Vicar, who has gone away to recruit his health, after his recent illness, thanked Mrs. Lloyd for her presence, and for performing the opening function—also included all those who had worked so industriously to ensure the success of the bazaar. Among those who visited the bazaar in the afternoon we noticed Mrs. Gwyn, Dyffryn Mrs. Edwards, Swansea Mr. and Mrs. Curtis, Neath Rev. 1. and Mrs. Thomas, Dyffryn; Mrs. and the Misses Moore, Dyffryn; Mrs. Williams, Maesygerwen; Mr. C. B. Jenkins, Mrs. Stanhope, Mrs. L. H.

The decorations were carried out by Messrs. Ben Evans and Co., Swansea, and the whole effect was very attractive. A band was in attendance, which tended to enliven the proceedings. One of the stalls had a very fine polyphon which gave forth very sweet selections of music. Miss Beryl Goss, dressed in white silk, sold a quantity of buttonholes, and Miss Gwenyth Jones dressed in Japanese costume, presided over the bran dip, and added a fair amount to the day's takings. Miss Maud Stanhope superintended the "fish ponds," and looked very well in a fisher girl's dress. The bazaar was opened on Thursday by Mrs. Gough, of Yniscedwyn, and a large company were again present.
LLANDILO & DISTRICT.
LLANDILO & DISTRICT. The quarterly meeting of the Carmarthenshire Chamber of Agriculture was held at the Cawdor Arms Hotel, Llandilo, on Tuesday afternoon. Mr. H. Jonas Davies, C.C., presided, and proposed the loyal toast, which was warmly drank. Mr. Delme Davies-Evans, of Pantglas, and agent to his uncle, T. A. Gerwyn Jones, Esq., of Pant- glas, who is using his energies and Australian ex- perience in order to induce Welsh farmers to co- operate. initiated a very good discussion on butter factories and creameries, his chief points being the objects, benefits, cost of formation, and working, and the chief drawbacks, and the best way to overcome them. He asked. Were farmers themselves going to take up shares and receive a dividend which really belonged to them, or were they going to allow this money to go into the pockets of people who simply wanted an invest- ment for their money ? They had done all they could at Llandilo to induce farmers to come for- ward. In making a final appeal, he asked them to take shares, and then the factories would be a success. Dealing with the cost of equipment and management, he said that, roughly speaking, the central factory would cost about £1000, and each creamery about £ 350. If a refrigerator chamber be added, it would cost R400 more.—Mr. D. E. Stephen, Trawsmawr, said that, when touring through Ireland, he observed that these factories were working with great success.—Mr. Nicholas said that to the proposed Llandilo factory the landlords had raised two thirds of the capital,and the farmers were appealed to to subscribe the other third. In this respect they were back- ward.—Mr. Williams, Penlan, firmly believed that Carmarthenshire butter was the best in the world. The pasturage of the three counties in the west was better than any in South Wales.— Judge Bishop said that inducements should be held out to farmers in the matter of awards, so that agriculturists may be educated in up-to-date farming.-After a very successful meeting, the Chamber favoured the starting of creameries in the districts and supporting the proposed butter factory at Llandilo. Before Mr. R. Shipley Lewis, coroner, an in- quest was held a,t the Wheat Sheaf Inn, Llan- dovery, on Tuesday, on the body of Hannah Roberts, who met her death through colliding with a bicycle ridden by J. Lewis, 1, Nixon Ter- race, Merthyr Vale.—Thomas Roberts gave evi- dence as to finding his mother lying on the ground unconscious three minutes after seeing her alive and well.—Mr. Jenkins, currier, declared that the cyclist was going at a slow pace and giving due warning. The old lady, in stepping off the pavement, hesitated, and was just touched by the cycle and fell.—Mr. Williams, cabinet maker, corroborated.—Dr. Lewis stated the lady was of feeble health, suffering from bronchitis and a feeble heart, and did not recover consciousness after the accident, death resulting from concus- sion of the brain. Verdict accordingly. Before Mr. R. Shipley Lewis, an inquest was held at the Glansevin Arms, Llangadock, on Monday last, on the body of a male child.—Dr. Hopkins gave evidence of having been called to see the mother, Joan Jones, who told him that the child was in her box, in the next room.—Drs. Hopkin and Lloyd held a post mortem examina- tion on the body of the child, and declared it to have been born dead, and never hal an existence separate from the mother. Verdict ac- cordingly. In our last issue, we cited an instance of pro- fessional football poaching at Llandilo on the part of the Halifax Football Club to steal our George Davies. Far greater inducements have been offered to little Georgie to leave his native soil. Even now, while writing this, he is within the sound of my voice, calmly pursuing his daily toil as if no such offers of bribery had been made to him. His merits must be indeed great, if they are valued at R125 down and £2 per match, with guaranteed employment. Surely, in snch a large town as Halifax, good men can be found without coming to little Llandilo to steal her talented players. Notwithstanding all these grand offers and golden promises, Georgie is proof against them, and has decided to remain. On Monday last-Bank Holiday-,t very inter- esting wedding took place at Caledfwlch Church, Llandilo, between Letitia Gwenllian Jones and David Boag, of London. The bride's father is the oldest tradesman in Llandilo, whore the bride is following in the footsteps of her three brothers, one of whom is Dr. Arthur Lloyd Jones,of Mumbles,and the other two being doctors also-one in Her Majesty's service. Mrs. Boag has already passed her preliminary examinations, in the medical profession, but whether matrimony will stop her career we cannot say. The bride, who was charmingly attired, was given away by her father. The happy pair left for Scotland, where the honeymoon will be spent.

NEATH.
NEATH. NOTES AND NEWS. [BY NUNQUAMJ. A most impudent robbery was committed in the small hours of Wednesday morning at the shop of Mr. Thomas Young, Victoria Garrlens. Just before midnight Mr. Young retired to rest as usual, and having had a b'l'lY day it was not long before he became oblivious to his surroundings. But whilst he slept a strange and unknown visitor was doing a little overtune on his own. This gentleman by some means entered the premises, presumably in the small hours of the morning. He went to Mr. Young's bedroom and collared his troupers. He then took off his socks, with what object good- ness only knows-and accompanied by the trousers, went downstairs. Having collared the contents of the pockets, amounting to about 30s. in silver, he looked around for something to eat. He found a joint of veal, some cucumber, and bread and butter. He opened a couple of bottles of beer and altogether had a very substantial early breakfast. Then his thoughts turnpd to whiskey. Of course there was plenty about. He selected a bottle, and partook of a few glasses of the insidious liquid. Then he unlocked the front door and left the premises, leaving the trousers behind. Up to the time of writing no clue as to the visitor is forthcoming. The local police court this week have produced nothing of much interest. Edward Lewis, fore- man sandworker, of Pont-Neath-Vaughan, defended a charge of drunkenness on Friday last, but was fined 10s. and costs. THE MACKWORTH HOTEL, NEATH.—It will be observed by advt. that this old-established family and commercial hotel is now under the management of Mr. Melville Clare, who announces his intention to make it a first-class establishment.

GLAMORGAN ASSIZES.
GLAMORGAN ASSIZES. [CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6.] CIVIL COURT-THURSDAY. SKETTY MATCH MANUFACTORY. IS IT A NUISANCE? RESUMED HEARING. In the Civil Court on Thursday—before Mr. Justice Kennedy and a special jury-the hearing was resumed.—Arthur Isaacs, fore- man at the factory, was again put into the box for the defence, and replying to Mr. Abel Thomas, deposed that on three occasions he had smelt smells coming from Mr. Heck's house. He had met with this experience twice when the present action was begun.— Mary Ann Howells, forewoman, corroborated. —Cross-examined It was not true that a considerable number of girls who had come to work at the factory could not stay because of the smells.—Lucy Clark, Adelaide Derri- man, and Mary Ann Griffiths, all past or present employees at the factory, denied the existence of smells.—Mr. Robert Thomas Leyson, one of the defendants, was next called, and examined by Mr. Abel Thomas, said the reason he transformed the concern into a limited company was because he did not care to face alone the Employers' Liability Act. Before the re-arrangement there was no complaint against the factory. When the factory was opened he bad a skilled man (at least he called himself skilled) down from London to instruct his workpeople, but he really had to do that himself. He was a manufacturer of tin boxes, and supplied those boxes to match factories, and it was whilst visiting the factories he acquired his know- ledge. The factory was enlarged in August, 1898, but that was merely for the purposes of storage. Before even the factory was started Mr. Rosser discovered smells. Witness swore that no smells were noticeable more than 3 feet away from the dipping slab.—Cross- examined by Mr. Bankes, witness said there was nothing to show in writing that there had been an allotment of shares in the com- pany.—His Lordship You are a solicitor, you know. Witness Yes, I am, my lord. There has been no formal allotment.—Mr. Bankes Is there such a thing as an informal allotment in Swansea? No.—His Lordship I must ask- you to say, as a solicitor, is there any doubt whatever about your allotment? No, my lord, they have not been allotted. Mr. Bankes Then this company has not got a farthing of capital? Yes, there has been stock, material, and plant handed over to it.- Have you been finding all the money for working the company ? Yes.—Have you been taking the debentures ? No, not yet.- Therefore-I think you might answer me a little more frankly-it has got no capital ?- Not in that sense.—Now, this secretary is a boy in your office ?-Yes.-An office boy ?— No, he is the junior but one.—How old is the junior ?—About the same age as that boy- about seventeen —You say you formed this company to avoid the Employers' Liability Act ?—Yes. So that if any of these poor girls are injured there will be nobody to pay them ?—Oh. no, we go under the Employers' Liability Act.—Have you insured ?-Yes.- Well, what does it matter whether it is th company or Mr. Leyson ?-A great deal. I have found that out in this matter.-Then the only reason for forming this company is to protect yourself in respect of which you are insured?—Yes.—You say that solemnly on your oath as a solicitor?—Yes.—Very well, the jury can form their own con- clusions.-In further cross-examination wit- ness said the only unhealthy process in match-making was that of dipping and mixing the compo. but that was only un- healthy when conducted in a confined area. His dipping sheds were really open sheds.— —Police-sergeant Jenkins, late of Sketty, and now of Porthcawl; Mr. C. H. Perkins, chair- man of Cockett Parish Council; Mr. R. F. Brown, ex-vice.chairman of the Parish Council; Dr. Elias, medical officer for the borough of Neath; Mr. D. R. Thomas, nuisances inspector; Mr. John Thomas, sur- veyor and Drs. E. R. Morgan and Mitchell, medical officers to the Llangyfelach District Council, all gave evidence of the non-existence of any nuisance as a result of the factory.- This concluded the case for the defence, and counsel addressed the jury.—In summing up, his Lordship said it was not necessary that the thing complained of should be actually injurious to health, because it was quite sufficient to constitute a private nuisance that there was a sensible interference with the ordinary comfort and convenience of life. A mere loss in the pleasure of one's sur- roundings was not sufficient. On that point e he warned them against being led away by the plaintiffs, whose evidence might possibly be tinged with a prejudice against having a factory constructed in the neighbourhood of their residences instead of a nice villa. Mr. Leyson might be popular or unpopular, but it was curious that if there were smells to anything like the extent described they should have gone on from 1897 to 1899 with- out any sort of complaiut at all. It was for them to consider whether theoe was a nuisance to such an extent nnd continuity as would justify them in giving a verdict for the blaintiffs. The question whether it was a one man" company had nothing to do with the case. The real question was with regard to the injunction, and if they came to the conclusion that there was a nuisance the damages would be only formal. After con- sidering for five or six minutes, without retiring, the jury returned a verdict in favour of defendants.—Mr. B. F. Williams Then I ask for judgment.—His Lordship: Oh, yes. GOWER SLANDER ACTION. At the Glamorgan Summer Assises at Swansea on Thursday, betore Mr. Justice Bruce and a common jury, an action claiming JB500 damages tor slander was heard, in which the plaintiff was George Jarvis Cooper, gentleman of private means residing at Horton, Gower, and the defendant, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Tucker, who formerly kept a drapery shop at Swansea. There was a counterclaim for libel. Mr. B. F. Williams, Q.C., and Mr. C. H. Glascodine (instructed by Mr. F. S. Simmons, Merthyr), were for the plaintiff, and Mr. S. T. Evans (instrucied by Messrs. Leeder and Morris), represented Mrs. Tucker, and Mr. Raymond Allen (instructed by Hartland and Isaac) appeared for Tucker. The alleged slander complained of was that plaintiff ALas charged with having set defend- ants' premises on fire, and with reference to the counterclaim, the alleegd libel consisted in an imputation of arson in respect to a fire at Brigydon. Upon the suggestion of his lordship the case was settled out of court. A juror was then, by leave, withdrawn. The terms of the settlement were that the defendants should pay the sum of zS75 towards the plaintiff's costs.
