LLANDOVERY.
LLANDOVERY. BOWDDWRETTES. (By "Dyfri.") Lieut. J. F. Rees, the Fron, is desirous tha.t the rumour which Spread—as all falst rumours do—like wi'dfire, that the local volunteers gave trouble at camp, should be contradicted. Their discipline was excel- lent, and their general behaviour exem- plary. The Llandovery detachment were partic- ularly singled out for praise by the Brigadier, Co!. A. W. Hill, C.B. To-morrow (Saturday), the volunteers proceed to L'anellv to take part in the guard of honour to Field Marshal Lord Roberts, who is unveiling the War Mem- orial at Llanelly. The trip to AberysWrth last week, under- taken by the Lland ngat Sunday School members, proved too long a journey for the "jUyerllles," who perforce had to remain at home. Many thi:1, the "elders" should have shown more consideration for the litle ones. Never mind, my children, the Vicar is giving you a "tea fight" at the Vicacrage, in lieu thereof I Mr E. M. Milmer Janes, who has Tecentiv l>een appointed to the Re- cordership of Carmarthen, first saw the light of day at Yelindre, Llandovery. One of his cousins is Mr. D- T. M. Jones, the well- I known cricketer, and clerk to the Board of Guardians. Gent, the popular Gloucester half-back, was a visitor at Llandovery last week. He is a native of the borough. A mushroom was picked in the district last week measuring in circumference 24 inches. Quite a nice breakfast dish in it- self The cricket fixture between Mr. M. H. Nichols' eleven and Mr. W. T. Price's eleven en Thursday evening last, ended in a "draw." The former scored 98 for five wickets (when they declared), and the lat- ter 87 for nine wickets. What a narrow sque ak There is no truth in the Tumour that, the "away" maches arranged by the Town Club have been cancelled. The Llandovenans journeyed to Llanelly last Saturday minus Messrs. C. P. Lewis, C. Michael, D. T. M. Jones, N. L. James, L. N. Evans and M. H. Nichols. With such an unrepresentative eleven out, defeat was a foregone conclusion. Even Bankes, the Brecon pro., who as- sisted Llandovery, could not stave off the icnominy of defoiA. Mr. Harry Wat kins was in brilliant form with the bat, scoring 58 himself, which in- cluded three 6's—quite Jessopian adobes A greait wager took place last week at a we 1-known hotel here between a weaver and a tailor, as to who could drink two quarts of beer :n record time. The event was witnessied bv a number of persons ^interested in the "trade." An official umpire was dulv appointed, and tne tussle commence. The contest lasted but a few brief minutes, to great was the thirst of the contestants. The gulps were many, and the victory ultimately Tested with the weaver. There were no defended cases at the county court on Saturday. The learned Registrar (Mr D. T. M. Jones), disposed of the undefended ones. A new vestry is to be built in connection with the Ebenezer Baptist Chapel, and the contract has been secured by Messrs. Brown., Thomas and John, Llaaielly. Last Friday's meeting of the Board of Guardians was r very brief one. It lasted just 18 minutes, and the business was of a routine character. Even some of the mem- bers yawned during the proceedings. At the Assessment (V, i nn; it'tee meeting, several appeals were heard and dismissed, until the new val nation comes into force. The presentation to MT. E. Price-Griffith takes place to-morrow (Saturday) evening. A suggestion is abroad that the event should he commemorate i with a "smoker" or a •"dinner." Miss M. J. Thomas, Rock Cottage, is just now enjoying the 00, breezes at Aberayron. The Llafagadock water scheme has its op- ponents, as r-iiay be expected..An "Oppos-- tion" meeting of ra^espaynns was held the other evening, and eloquence Teigned su- preme. An increase in "rates" is the main ob- stacle, the opponents being mostly non-resi- dents in the village Cheer up, Llangadockites Llandovery overcame similar obstacles when the water scheme was first mooted, and to-day it is rightly considered a boon and a blessing to everybody. A grand bail wa. he d at Llandilo on two evenings in last week to signalize the "com- ing out' into society of Miss Bishop, the only daughter of his Honour Judge Bisihop, Doly- garreg. Included in the hirge a.nd fashionable as- semblage were Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Rosier, Violet Cottage. A jumble sale held at Llanwrda last week resulted in JB90 being realised towards the church funds. It's wonderful what an ener- getic band of workers can do, even in so small a district as Llanwrda. small a district as Llanwrda. Mr. N. L. James has given up his appoint- ment as maisteT at the College, and is enter- ing St. Michael's College, AbeTdare, next week. Me will probably t-urn out for the Aberdarians at football this season, and should prove a valuable acquisition. Mr. James Peters, D.C., of Abergwenlais, is amongst the half-guinea subscribers to the Sheep Dog Trials. Good. Judging by the number of birds on sale daily, grouse appears to be plentiful in the locality. SHEEI DOG TRIALS. Notwithstanding the fact, uhat the gate re- ceipts in connection with He recent Sheep Dcg Trials presented a slight cecrea e on the preceding years, wo are happy to state that the cnr. tota1 on the credit .side will show no deduction. This is account-able to t.he fact that he roil of subscribers has in- creased. The event deserves all this support too UNLICENSED PEDLAR. At the Police Court on Wednesday last, before Mr. E. P. Lloyd, Glansevin, and Mr. Jrhn Williams, Tirypentre, Thomas Lewis, ,{ no fixed abode, was brought up in cus- tody of P.S. W. Robbin, on a charge of trading without a pedla.r's certificate. P.S. Robbins stated that at about one p.m. on the previous day, he saw prisoner offering articles for sale at Station-road, Llangadock, and finding he had no licence, witness took him into custody. Prisoner p leaded guilty. The magistrates, taking into consideration tha.t prisoner had been in the lock-up over night, discharged him with a caution." LLAXWRTYD SHEEP DOG TRIALS. These annual trials took place at L'an- wrtyd Wells on Friday last, and were well patronised. The event was held under the presidency of Mr. B. Evans, J.P., Llaniair Grange, a gentleman who is always to the front in supporting anything appertaining to the welfare of the locality. It was mo-rt pleasing to his numerous fdiends to note how healthy he looked after his long and serious illness. Only a single class was .set down for competition, and which elicited 17 en- tries, resulting a.s follows: — lot £ 8) Mr. E. J. Jones, Gelynon, Builth, "Kelso"; 2nd (£4): Mr. Rees Evans, Penlan, Cynghordy, "Fly" 3rd (£2): Mr. Edward Bennett, Nantyrham, Cray, "Bonnie" 4tlh (108.): Mr. Gomer Phillips, Garthaber, Cardiff, "Moss." WEDDING: JONES—DAVIES.

Roberts, Crown Stores), and Miss Gwen Davies, teh daughter of Mr. David Davies, of Llwyn- berllan, Rhandirir^w. The bride, who was becomingly attired, was given away by her father, whilst Councillor Roberts acted as best man. The Rev. T. Thomas, pastor of the chapel, performed the ceremony, which was witnessed by a large number of friends of the bride and bridegroom. The wedding breakfast took place at Court Farm, LJau- gadock, where the bride had for some veara been engaged, and a capital .spread was laid by Mr. John Morgan and Miss Morgan. Many happy speeches were delivered by the guests present. The honeymoon is being spent at Aberarroai. DEATH OF MRS. ANNE DAVIES. The death took place on Tuesday last of Mrs. Anne Davies, of Queen-street, Llan- dovery. Deceased, who was only 48 years of age, had been ailing for some time. suffer- ing from i.hat fell disease phthisis. She was highly respected in the borough, and the greatest sympathy is felt for the three child- ren who survive her, in their sad bereave- ment. The funeral took place on Friday last, the place of interment being at Cwm- sarrddu, whither the corpse was conveyed in the hearse of Mr. W. Williams, New White Lion. There was a large a.nd retire- s»- r.-ative assembly, including Mr. Jobi J:-n.:e, Wern (father) t-iio three children Mr. and Mrs. Dan Powell, Wern; Mr. and Mrs. Powel1, Cefntrenfa; Mr. Horris, Bryn- d're: the Revs. E.

LLANDOVERY IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE. A general meeting of the Llandovery Im- provement Committee was convened for Monday night to make final arrangements with reference to the presentation to be made by the committee to Mr. E. Price-Griffith, now of Cardiff, who for a triennial period acted as honorary secretary of the Whit- Monday contests. Councillor T. Roberts was unanimously elected to the chair. Mr. T. Thomas, Rock Cottage, remarked that Mr. Griffith had selected a silver tea service, and Mrs. Griffith a silver hot-water jug in lieu of their first ^choice of a tea and c: tree service. The articles would be down in the course of a week, and Mr. Griffith would arrive at Llandovery by the six p.m. train on Saturday evening. He would be re- turning on the following Tuesday, and there- fore the presentation must take place either on Saturday OT Monc'ay night next. He (Mr. Thomas) suggested that they should that evening decide upon the chairman, the place and time of making the presentation, and whetehr there should be a dinner or a social meeting in connootion therewith. Mr. Dr.ri. Davies, t-hs Emporium, moved that the presentation should take place on Mon- day next. Mr. T. Evans (ironmonger), se- oonded. Mr. T. Thomas thought that Mr. Griffith might be free on Saturday evening, and perhaps busy on the Monday. Mr. Dan. Davics said he felt SUTC that MT. Griffith would make it convenient to atend on Monday to accept the gifts. Saturday night was the busiest evening in the week so far as tradesmen were concerned, and many would be unable to attend. Mr. T. Roberts remarked that as a compliment to Mr. Griffith, he for one, would really like to be present, but could not do so if the func- tion was arranged for Saturday. It was therefore unanimously resolved that he pres- entation sho.i'd be made on Monday next at t:1-e Town HrJl at 8.30 p.m. Mr. Roberts: Is it to be a private or a social function?— Mr. G. Morton Surety we can hold a litfe function like this without eating and drink- ing, and besides, Mr. Griffith's time would be very much occupied that evening.—Mr. Dan. Davies The presentation can be made at the Towr. Hall, and anybody wishful of enjoying themeelves afterwards may do so. 0.: the proposition of Mr. Morton, it was de- cided to hold a purely formal meeting. Mr. T. Thomas said that as Mr. Roberts had been po regular in his attendance ait teh various meetings, not only this yeaT, but during the last three voars, he moved that he be chair- man on the presentation night, provided the Mayor cou'd not be precent, and that the presentation be made by Mrs. Roberts. Mr. Roberts: Mrs. Roberts will be from home thnt ciy. Mr. J. Major moved that Mr. J. R. James, the secretary to the Town Improvement Committee, make the presenta- tion. MT. T. Roberts seconded, and both motions were unanimously agreed t-o.
Blasphrmous "Pastorals" from…
Blasphrmous "Pastorals" from the" Abode of Love.) The Prophet of the A gapemonite commu- nity, Mr. Smyth-Pigott, is in the habit, it seems, o- issuing "pastorals' to his flock scattered about the country. These docu- ments are guarded with the utmost care, eo that they shall not fall into the hands of any of the "unfaithful." They are either typewriten and then cyclcstyled, or copied out by young lady members of the com- munity at Spaxton. One of these interesting messages from Mr. Smyth-Pigott to his followers has been forwarded by a Reading correspondent. IIore are a fow celected parages from the "pastoral" :— "Harken oh my 'oved and choson ones, caJled of my Father who ha? again spoken to me in the night watches. The time is very shoTj r.ow when, v/o shall go to meet Him. 'The Fathcr ha-, spoken the wmd: Be- hold I come quickly, and all men shall see the glory of my eon, the Son of Man, who has lived among them these years known as Mr. Pigott. The world does not receive my eon, and when he was on earth before they knew him net, but persecuted him. "My loved an! precious ones the world w::l ten you lies. The papers are fu'l cf lire, and they will seek to gain your con- fidence and draw you nv;ay to perdition, and I cay unto you, 'Watch ncl stand fast.' There are still a few more chosen to be gathered in, some of you who have been faltering by the way, and there is also Mr. who t.as gone away from us, who mvrt be gathered in. "Oh, how my heart yearns over those way- ward ones. ïl:1S yearned over them for years, and now I long to takd them again to the bcoom of my father, and leave them there, sheltered for evermore, and not to be blown away by any puff of wind when the evil one comes, "•> he does cOfnc to all "At times my ,ouf is vexed and miserable over those who reject and despifyc me, and who love the wor'd and the things of the world before me • "Dear LoirFa in some notes to me is specially guarded. The other evening on going up to dress for dinner she saw on entering the room two angels, one on each side of the dressing-table, watching. On her approaching they waved their hands and made room for her to make her toilet, and she tells me on the breast of one angel was written: 'The time is very short, soon you will be in Paradise with your beloved! Keep wa.tching. "She also tells me she is specially watched -over at night, angels always hovering over the canopy of her bed, and whenever moving ill any part of the house she always feel their presence following her. My loved ones, my chosen ones, I embrace you all. Farewell, watch, I say unto thee, watch

GIRL AND HUSSAR CAPTAIN.
GIRL AND HUSSAR CAPTAIN. Sensational Tale in a London Police Court, At Westminster on Tuesday, Captain Thomas William Whiffen, of the 14th Hus- sars, giving the address of Aldwick, Sussex, was charged with improperly assaulting Louise Adams (14), in a first-class carriage on the District Railway. The young lady deposed that accused was a friend of her mother's at Cairo. In July, witness came to England with her mother, and since then Captain aiffen had been out with them. On Monday the captain met them at Victoria Station, and whilst the mother was away he suggested they should have a ride to Charing Cross on the railway. They entered an empty carriage, and, said witness, the accused misbehaved himself. In consequence of her resistance, be got angry and smacked her face, and her nose bled slightly. The captain, continued witness, pressed her to sit on his knee and assaulted her. They afterwards met witness's mother, and in the absence for a minute of the accused, witness told her mother part of her story. After that all three of them proceeded in a cab to Earl's Court Exhibition. Here wit- ness told the remainder of her story to her mother. They strolled about together in the Exhibition, after having tea, and then took a cab to Victoria Station where they dined at a restaurant. Late at night they all went to Westminster Police Station, end the captain was charged at the instance of witness's mother. The cross-examination of witness was re- served. MOTHER'S IMMORALITY WITH ACCUSED. The mother stated her name was Malea Adams, and she was proprietress of a fash- ionable buffel at Cairo. Recently she brought her husband to Buxted, Sussex, where he had very rich relations. Witness had known Captain Whiffen about two years. She met him with other British officers at Cairo and had lived with him in a flat in that town. She left her husband because she fell in love with the captain. Eventually she had to part with Captain Whiffen because he came to England. Wit- ness gave evidence as to the events of yes- terday. The Magistrate stated he did not beJieve one word the woman said and it seemed to him her object was to blackmail. Capt. W hiffen's solicitor strongly denied the allegations made against the captain. In discharging him the magistrate said the captain had nobody to blame but himself for the cor-^any he kept.
Swansea Coroner and Child…
Swansea Coroner and Child Insurance. At Swansea Hospital on Monday a.n in- quest was held touching the death of Thos. John Mathews, aged five months, of No. 21, Richards-terrace. The young mother, Edith Mathews (whose husband is now at sea), and Mrs. Rice, her landlady, gave evidence to show that a fortnight ago the baby seemed to be wasting away. It was taken to Dr. Ander- son, who said, explained Mrs. Rice, "that he could not attend^her because she had no money to pay hIm," and advised that the baby be taken to the parish doctor. This was done, but the infant, although it took nourishment in the shape of milk and water, died on Monday mornings Dr. Stephens (locum tenens for Dr. Lloyd Edwards, the parish doctor) said that the baby was suffering from sickness due to wrong feeding. He prescribed and the sick- ness was stopped. The infant was not again brought to him and the symptoms showed that death was probably due to convulsions following indiscreet feeding. The baby, as to being well cared for, was above the average. Other evidence showed that the infant was insured by its grandmother (Mary Ann Davies) when a month old. She paid 2d. per week. "What would you get?" asked the Cor- oner. The witness did not seem to know, and the Coroner observed, "There you are, that's how it is a let of you women insure because you are asked to do so. You silly women insure for the benefit of the offices apparently- A Juror: That is ^hy they have such large surplus.e6. The grandmother, it transpired, had been in the habit of insuring her children "in case anything should happen," whereby she would get enough to pay the burial ex- penses. The Coroner advised her to be very careful about insuring other people's chil- dren. Witness (interposing); It was born with me. Coroner: That ha« nothing to do with it. It is very suspicious. As to the cause of death, the Coroner f referred to the fact, that the babe had been given the night, before its death three bottles of nlllk. Stuffing the child, he called it, and showed the abs-n- ty of young mothers over-doing this sort of feeding. The jury returned a verdict of "Death from natural causes."
Famous Swansea Gaol-Breaking*j…
Famous Swansea Gaol-Breaking* j Episode. The escape of a prisoner from Cardiff j Police Station reminds us that probably the most famous gaol-breaking episode in South Wales was the escape of Arthur Riverton from Swansea Prison, some seven years ago. Riverton, who was a desperate character, j and descrioed at the time as another Charles Peace, had committed a number of burglar- ies at country houses in the neighbourhood of Sketty, Swansea. Arrested at Bristol j while endeavouring to dispose of stolen sit ver goods, he was brought to Swansea, and committed by the justices for trial at the assizes. The police of some other .owns were a little jealous of Swansea because they badly wanted to get hold of Tiverton themselves. The desperado-he was a little man of ;1 wiry build—was safely caged in his cell at the gaol after committal for trial, and the local police officials were convinced that in a brief space he would be despatched to one of the convict prisons for a long term. Just before the assizes were due the war- ders one morning were amazed to find River- ton's cell empty. During the night Ui had wriggled his way through a small fiue, reached the roof, and, with the agility of a monkey, escaped over the wall. But Ar- thur Riverton was handicapped just in tho-, precise fashion that Henry Heathfield was placed at an advantage. Riverton had no local knowledge. He made the open coua- try bis objective, and ill-fortune directed him into the Gower Peninsula. Unknown to himself he had entered a trap, from which it was almost as difficult to escape as from his first place of confinement. He was ui a cul-de-sac. The peninsula is twenty .miles in length, and only a few miles broad. It was divin ed that he might be within its confines, and every outlet was guarded. For several davs Riverton's whereabouts were unknown to "the world, and it was feared that, after all, he had escaped to some populous cen- tre. However, this was not so, for River- ton had evidently been hiding in some of the secluded nooka of Gowerland. To go forth was dangerous in the extreme, for the peninsula is so thinly peopled that every stranger at once attracts attention. But hunger must be satisfied at any risk. and Riverton made his way to the village of Reynoldstone. Here outside the King Ar- thur hostelry—the rendezvous of picnickers for many a decade past—he was observed by the village constable, and after a short and fierce struggle, the young limb of the law overcame his man, whom he manacled and conveyed to Swansea in a cart. River- ton made a bold and clever defenoe from the dock when tried at the assizes, but was sen- tenced by Justice Phillimore to a term of ten years' penal servitude.

I MR. FLETCHER, OF SALTOUN. Possible Candidate for Gower. It is stated on what seems good authority that Mr. Fletcher, of Saltoun, and the heir to the Talbot Estates, will probably contest either Mid-Glamorgan or Gower Division at the General Election. Of the two, the latter is the more likely to be selected.
a'■ 1 ■ ■** i Welsh Barristers…
a '■ 1 ■ ■ Welsh Barristers and Trade Briefs Mr. S. Moss, M.P. for East Denbigh, has been interviewed respecting his attitude on the question of barristers' trade briefs. It was the same now, he said, as in 1897 —that, while he was in full sympathy with the temperance movement, and would do all he could to advance it in the House of Commons and on the public platform out- eide, he reserved to himself in professional matters absolute freedom of action. And, he added, he did not see how any self-respecting barrister could do otherwise. What he objected to was the statement that any Welsh barrister who was in the House of Commons had been in any way asked by the Welsh party, as a whole, not to take licensing briefs, or that the matter had been even considered bv the Welsh party.
Penmaen Petty Sessions.
Penmaen Petty Sessions. (Before Col. Vincent (chairman), Capt. Bos tock, Major Bensonamd Mr. H. L. Pritchard) SUNDRIES. Rowland Edwards, labourer, Penrice, was fined Is. and costs for driving without lights. John Jones, farmer, Nicbolaston, allowed 17 sheep to stray on the highway, for which lie had to pay the costs, 4s. 6d. WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER TEN? "I drank two pints of beer, and if I was drunk, I can't say any more." Thus Henry Williams, labourer, C-ockett, who was charged with being drunk. Defendant (to P.C. Thomas): Why didn't you charge the other ten men you saw on the Bishopeton Common, who were drunk? Officer: I did not see anyone. Defendant was fined Ss. and costs. For a similar oSenoe, David Williams, labourer, Cockett, was fined 5s. and costs. LLANMADOC FARMER FINED. William Ahlstedt, farmer, Llammadoc, kept a dog, for which he had no license. It cost him 10s.—more than the cost of the license. ILSTON HORSE STRAYS. Charles Williams, farmer, Ilston, ex- pressed regret for allowing eight cattle to stray on the highway, and wa3 ordered to pay costs.
Swansea Labourer's Disgraceful…
Swansea Labourer's Disgraceful behaviour- At Swansea on Monday, John Hughes, labourer, Powell-street, was charged on re- mand with indecently exposing himself on tlie Sands, with intent to insult femaJes, on Thursday. The case had been remanded so that a couple of little girls might give evidence. But fl..) police had not been able to find them. Defendant, in answer to the charge, re- plied, "I admit I was there, but not wil- fully exposed. Far from it." I Michael Fitzgerald, ooal trimmer, said he was near L. and N.W. embankment at Swansea Sands. He saw defendant sitting on the bank, exposing himself; two little girls were with him, one of whom he held by the wrist. He went to defendant, and asked. "You dirty beast, what do you mea-a 7" Defendant replied that he meant no harm. Witness took defendant towards the police station, and handed him to a policeman. The eWeet child would be about eleven years old. P.C. Balsdon gave evidence. Defendant said he had just come down Gardener-street, and was taken very ill. Chairmai.: You heard what the witness said, that you had hold of one little child's hand? Defendant: X 0, I didn't at all. That is what hurts my feelings. I admit the other thing. A Her some consultation, Mr. Watkins, addressing defendant, said, "We've had a good reference as to your general character, otherwise there would have been a much more severe penalty. We cannot overlook an offence of this character. That you did this thing there's not, the least doubt in my mind, or in that of my colleagues. Because you have done so, you must go to prison- for one calendar month." Continuing, Mr. Watkins said Fitzgerald had done a very propeT thing. "You showed the right sort of fatherly feeling in taking hold of this man, and giving him to a police- man," he added. Witness I'm a father myself. Mr. Watkins: You deserve the thanks of the police and the public.
SWANSEA METAL EXCHANGE.
SWANSEA METAL EXCHANGE. Annual Meeting: Sir.J. J. Jenkins Speech, The annual meeting of the Swansea Metal I Exchange was held on Tuesday afternoon. Sir John Jones Jenkins presided, and speaking with regard to the new water works, said the cost of bringing water to Swansea had exceeded what they expected it to do, but they could hardly blame thoso concerned for that. At the same time Sir John urged the need for economy. Speak- ing generally, the trade of the country was in a pretty prosperous state. There were some sections which were not experiencing prosperous times, but there were, of course, i times of inflation and depression. The coal trade had been in a very bad state, and he was sorry the other day when the mas- .1 ters had to ask the colliers to accept a re- duction in their wages. Some people thought the colliers were being paid at too high a rate, but the occupation was a dan- gerous one and they ought not to grudge them a good wage when it was possible to pay it. A great deal of depression he thought dato i from the time of the imposi- tion of the coal tax. This had brougfit them great competition from the Continent. Three years ago he (Sir John) made a statement about the tin- plate trade. They knew what that statement was and it hailed a storm of criticism, but it was never disproved. He said that the tinplate trade would revive, and his statement had been proved correct. Ten years ago, in 1895, the average output per mill., was 500 boxes per year. Now, however, we have mills turning out over 1,000 boxes per week, and the average would be about 800 boxes per week, so that the present output can fairly be said to be nearly approaching double what it was ten years ago and it showed that we could put our backs up when our trade was threa- tened. (Applause.) He concluded by wish- ing the trade success in the coming year and moved the adoption of the reports. Major Lewis seconded.—Carried. Mr. L. Rees proposed, and Mr. Yates seconded, that Sir John J. Jenkins be re- elected.—Carried amidst applause. Sir J^hn accepted. This was his 18th year of office. The following vice-presidents were re- elected: Sir J. T. D. Llewelyn, Sir Grif- fith Thomas, Colonel Wright, and the Mayor of Swansea, together with the follow- ing members of committee: Messrs. F. K. Clegg, D. R. David, W. Law, R. Marton and G. Rowe. Votes of thanks were passed to Sir John Jones Jenkins, who presided, and the sec- retary (Mr. W. Davies). The eighteenth annual report stated:— The members subscriptions were JB289 10s. 9d., and rants of offices JB252 3s. Id. mak- ing the total receipts £541 13s. lOd. The working expenses totalled JB550 18s. 3d., leaving a credit balance of JB210 15s. 7d. to be applied t6 the redemption of loans. The Committee proposed to pay JB200 ')ff tho mortgage, leaving a balance of £1,200. The number of members on the rolls was 348, being an increase of 19 on the previous year.

Llanmadoc Farmer and His Children.
Llanmadoc Farmer and His Children. At Penmaen Petty Sessions on Tuesday, Inspector Pearse, Swansea, applied for a summons against William Ahlstedt, farmer, Llanmadoc, for neglecting his five children. The Inspector said he visited the house and there saw one child, named William Charles, aged four. He was exceedingly small, very delicate, and quite unable to walk properly, and had great difficulty in standing. He (the Inspector) thought the child was suffering from an injury received three months ago, for which it had not been under medical treatment. Dr. S. B. Jones, Reyiioldstone, had ex- amined the child, which he found in a very bad state. The father would not allow it to go to the Hospital, and he (the Inspector) asked that an order be granted for removal cf the child to the Hospital. The summons and the order for the re- moval of the child to the Hospital were granted. The same defendant was fined 10s. for keeping a dog without a license.
