Touching °ff f t Ei^ht Hourri' Bilt bie sa'kl.ihe c ec ot tiiat measure vv)ukl be a serious one. He regretted that in the first, instance lle 'lueslion had not been agreed to between employers and employed. In other trades working hours had been arranged for a number of year's without a hard and fast Act of Parliament, and law on the matter was least of all necessary in the coal trade which was better represented in the House oi Commons than any other trade in the country. Such an Act of Parliament would raise the standard price of coal by at bast Is 6d. per ton; that would be a serious blow to trade, and he appealed to Cham- bers of Commerce to assist in the settlement ■j' the matter in such a way as would not be detrimental to the trade of the country. (Hear, hear.) THE SOLICITOR-GENERALS REPLY. The Soiicitor-Gener.al met with an ovation 0 i rising to make his response, the company upstanding and cheering enthusiastically. That was the first time, he thought/that In* had had the honour in the county bor- ough of Swansea of responding to the toast- of the Houses of Parliament. Certainly it was the first time he had had the honour of responding for the House of Commons in conjunction with his old and valued friend Lord Glantawe, who was now in the position to reply for the House of Lords. It was a i<>ast which was always honoured wherever there was a meeting of that kind in ti,i, British Empire, and he was very glad to hear the eloquent words spoken by Mr. Stephens when he proposed it. He referred to the antiquity of the House of Commons, and he believed of the House of Lords, too --(hughter)-to the antiquity of the as- sembly to which they both had t.he honour to belong. There was one title that he might have to respond for the House of Com nions from that point of view, and that was that he was rather an antique member of it. (Laughter.) He had been a member for eighteen years indeed, he had spent there more than a third of his life. (Hear, hear.) It was an honour to respond to such an as- r.embly, and whilst it did its duty he was perfectly certain it would command respect. Speaking there in Swansea upon that oc- casion he could not b-clp looking to the past. Mr. Stephens had said they did not live in the past and must looR orwaTfl to life in the future. That was all very well for Lord Glantawe--(laughter)—because if he wanted to leave the House of Lords he could not. (More laughter.) His future therefore in life was inextricably bound up in that as- sembly. For his (Sir San»--el's) part in the House of Commons he must look to the past because he did not know that he had any future at all. (Much laughter.) But looK- ing to the past he could not help recalling 18 years ago, and he hoped they would allow lone reference to the man who was almost kinder to him than any other when he (SIr Samuel) entered that assembly, and whoso daughter they had the honour to meet at the board that night. (Applause.) A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MTR. DILLWYN. I sat as near to him as i oould get—on the same bench, with only one or two be t/wcen us," the Solicitor-General went on in L paying what was an appropriate and thought- j'¡ tribute, and no young man ever had greater kindness or greater encouragement than I had from Mr. Dillwyn. (Applause.) That is not saying all. He was as kind to young men as any man could be, and I think I should be wanting certainly m my duty to his revered memory if I abstained from saying this one word in reference to the name of one who was such a noted and re- spected figure in the House of Commons when I entered it. (Hear, hear.) There is just one other word I should iilce to say to this assembly, and that is there was also a member for Swansea, who succeeded Mr. Dillwyn, and who has to-night reached "the bourne whence no traveller returns," and I am perfectly certain that we in silent sympathy will express our feelings with those who feel the LOSS AT THE DEATH OF MR. BURNIE." (Hear, hear.) Responding for the House of Commons, the Solicitor-Genera! went on to S2V that it was a good buisiness assembly which deserved the respect of the country. There was a great deal too much talk there and therefore deserved the name which had been given to it by their predecessors. There was also too much speaking every- where--even at banquets of that description. (Laughter.) It was not only a business as- sembly, he concluded, but it was also the great platform upon which was placed out tl'<? great political dramas belonging to their national life. (Hear, hear.) And in so far as the House of Commons, in conjunction with the House of Lords—" We have to cor- rect the House of IxM-ds occasionally, paren- thetically said Sir Samuel, amid laughter, but I won t enter into that subject to- r.i<rht. it is a very controversial one "—and fa-r as the Houses of Parliament be- take themselves 10 the work of the com- munity as business assemblies, and in so far a they demean themselves on great occas- ions in their national life as they ought to d,), and had done hitherto, he was perfectly certain they would continue to receive the respect of the members of that community. (Loud and prolonged applause.) TELEGRAM TO THE PRIME MINISTER At this stage the Chamber despatched a telegram to the Prime Minister tendering niost sincere .sympathy with him in his in- disposition and hoping that he wil! be speedily restored to resume his services to Parliament and the nation at large. SPLENDID FUTURE FOR SWANSEA, The Solicitor-General then proposed "The j gwai^ea Chamber of Commerce,' and again met » warm reception. Giving one or two thir»gs that he thought about Swansea he said he had known Swansea longer than the iia,yor auy rate since 1863. His lirst recollection of it Was when he was brought Hiero by his father and mother »s.a J either in short trousers or tt- "-t-(Iauglit-er)-to witness the rcioici»Ss ]U tjeir great borough cn the occasion tho Carriage of the present iSg Qm as the Prince and Princess 0f \VaJe £ he*r)- And nnce that time he bad Very intimate connection with He came there i.i 1872 to school, UP a. lf, Walter-road—a very S"°d (Laughter)" S *?" b? > list niessages of congratulations, amongst nSnv *bich vere kindly sent to'him hJ lpr^intnient. *as one from hLs schoolni^l VherTw ?ntlett- (A-PP^e).

Since that time & i diff 1,ad tattl Swansea, but now | they «« >*«• «• ».« had, Jd th? I had in Swansea J 1 4 VERY MANY ADVANTAGES which Cardiff had not got. They had muiti- | farious industries and advantages certainly, which did not belong to the other end of the county. (Hear, hear). And who knew hut that somebody amongst the young people present that night would yet, see the time when Cardiff would be lagging behind, and Swansea would be slowly but surely going onwards. (Hear, hear). He did not know a.s much about commerce as Lord Olantawe, who, he was glad had been sent up to the House of Lords because certainly they had never had commerce sufficientlv | I represented in that assembly. He was not i referring to the brewers, as that was a trade which at present they must leave on one side, as he might have something to say on that measure in the House of Commons, They had had accessions to the House of Lords of such men as Lord Glantawe, Lord Joicey, and Lord Airedale—men who :ddei a lustre to that assemblr, and he bel'evel would be able to assert the views of the commercial part of the country. (Hear. hear). After all it was quite true what j Napoleon said, that we were "a nation or shopkeepers. Xo nation could possible exist- without commerce being extended to ail parts of the globe, and it we.s because; ^uansea was t he centre of growing com- mercial activity with all those multifarious industries to which he had alluded that he aa great pleasure in proposing the toast-. (Hear, hear). Nobody ne«d be"ashamed of >emg a snopkeeper or manufacturer. (Hear. ♦ There "as time when everybody thought that t0 be a landed proprietor was to be «n esquire, but to be in trade was a social barrier. That rime had long since past, and the leaders of industry were now looked up to as much as any other class of people. (Hear, bear.) With" reference to the trade of Swansea, apparently up to the year 1903 the port was classed with Port Talbot. Probably pnrt Talbot, would think that was an honour. There- fore he would take the figures subsequent to that, and in 1905 the tonnage entered in- wards was 599.611 tone; j* 1905 635,458 tons and in 1906, 837,614 tons. He had not got the figures for 1S07, but h<e way told on good authority that the aggression of trade was still going on. Then taking the clearances, thev were still more significant In 1904, they were 1.286.427 tons in 1905, 1 335,370 tons; and in 1906, 1,579,370 tons. (Applause.) That again showed the pro- (Applause.) That again showed the pro- gress of Swansea. He would give them the VALUE OF THAT TRADE OF SWANSEA aiso. The imports in 19:)4 were worth nearly £ -3,000,000; in lS<» oyer £ 3,250,000; a.nd in 1906, £3,400,OOJ, wlv.let the exports, taking only the United Kingdom produce, I valued in 1904 rather more than £ 5,500,000; in 1905, ju^. a little over £ 6,000,000; and in 1S06) £ 6,756,470. (Hear? hear.) 1]10 value ot" the ti't de at the port of Swansea was, in 1904, £ 8,592,116; in 1S05, £ 9,403,290 and in 1306, £ 10.172,799- (Applause.) So that in the year 1906 they had, m their nourishing trade from that great commercial centre topped in value mere than £ 10,000,000. topped in value mere than £ 10,000,000. (Applause.) lhat, of course, -showed that Swansea's trade was a very important aDd very extensive kind. It also showed that the people who were at, the head of it in that great commercial community were people who deserved great credit for the work they had done, and which commanded the confidence of the traders throughout the world. After ail, commerce in these days was not a national alfair, it was an inter- national affair, and not merely a. matter of material prosperity, but a means of extend- ing civilisation to a.1.1 parte of the globe. It was the great security for the peace of the I whole universe, and if he might presume to give a il WORD OF ADVICE TO SWANSEA TRADERS he would say that nothing was so deleterious to trade or to commerce as any misunder- standing between one nation and another, and nothing could harm commerce as much as war could between nations. (Hear, hear.) Swansea's varied industries were given in d-efcail. Tinplates, of course, said Sir Samuel, and of the spelter trade lie believed Swansea was the greatest producer in the wcrld. Probably there was no metallur- gical centre in the whole world where there was such a conglomeration of varying in- terests as that of Swansea. By the way, he had been told they did not get up as early in Swansea &s in some other places—(laugh- ter)-but that he was also told was not due to lack of energy, but to the relaxing nature of the climate. (More laughter.) If they did not get up as early in the morning he had heard on good authority that they worked haider during: the day. (Hear, hear.) There must be some compensating advantages otherwise they would not have attained the position whil;h they now enjoyed. They had great natural resources, and. he thought, they had a big future for anthracite coal, J aud that when the Rhondda Valley was ex- hausted and steam coal no longer required he dared say the ingenuity of mankind would find some uses for anthracite such as few even now dreamed of. (Hear, hear.) In I order not to lag behind they must have readiness and adaptability, ajid t-hey must a)sc have commercial integrity which they had to the full in Swansea. If he might go one moment to the other language, he would say:" Beth bynag a yretailo dv law Vnddo i wneuthur, gwna a'th hoil egni (" What- you undertake do with all your mieht"). No trade would belonS to any community for the Solicitor-General concludedI unless tnat community was ready to march forward, and with the enterprise that they had got and with their eye* fully opened to the necess-ties of availing ycur. selves of all the opportunities which modern sciencc g^"c lbe d^elop- ment of their industne^ hc sincere^ believed that the sun of pr^kerlt'> ^oukl fot' long continue to shine over that^great community.

INITIATED THE PUBLIC LIBRARY FAMOUS CONTEST RECALLED. t regret to announce the death, winch took place nt his residence, Sketly-road, on bridoy morning a few minutes before mid-day, Gf Mr. Robert D. Bumio, J.P., a foruier Liberal membc"r of Parliament for the t>o.rou,gh. after a long illuesc. The deceased gentleman was 67 years of age, and had been ill for some months. About a year ago he underwent an operation, and a few months since was on the pcviit of death, but under the assiduous care of Dr. Hanson the end was warded off and Mr. Burnie rallied. < The general break of his system, how- ever, had begun, and the Grea.t Reaper would not be A relapse set in a week ago, and the df,»s'i,ed went over to the big nia- jority as stated. He leaves a widow and fonr sons (Dickson. David, Donald, and BeY-IT non) and one daughter (Ellen).

DECEASED'S CAREER, LIFE OF USEFUL PUBLIC SERVICE. The death of MV. R. D. Burnie has re- moved from our n-idst a man of ma.ny parts —Poet and thinker, politician and orator, "nd a man of commerce. Moreover, hi-s re- moval takes away another of the older gen- 'o eration of Swansea Councillors—the body which in his day included such fanr.liar names as Messrs. "Edward Bath, John Cady: John Gla.brook, W. J. Rees, Laurence Tul- loch. and E. Rice Daniel. Though not e Swansea boy by birth, the deceased gentle man was one by adoption, for he lived here t'jr forty-two years Mr. Burnie hailed from South Devon, where- he was in the I scholastic profession, but his instincts lying in the direction of commerce he came to Swansea when a comparatively young man, and was appointed manager of the Swansea Wagon Company, of which he was at the time of his death the managing director. He became associated with other coinmer- time of his death the managing director. He became associated with ot.her coinmer- cial concerns ;,js time went on, but- in 1S77 was induced to enter public life, and was returned for the East ward of the Borough Council. He retained his seat on the Coun- cil for several years, during which time he was chairman of the Finance Committee and was mainly instrumental in bringing about the consolidation of Swansea's loans. This had the effect of placing the town in a more advantageous position from a financial standpoint. When subsequently filling the chairmanship of the Finance Committee 01 the Harbour Trust, in succession to Jfr. Ed- ward Bat.1. who had just died, Mr. Burnie procured the consolidation of Harbour Bonds in the same wav. But it was the AGrrA TIOK FOR ABOLISHING THE BRIDGE TOLLS that brought out Mr. Buinie s powers of speecli and earnestness of purpose. He was the leader of this public outcry againol what be regarded as an anomaly i-he existence of a toll-bridge dividing the t'O"n from the principal docks—and on one occasion headed a large procession and helped to unhinge the toil-gate. At length be was instrumen- till in getting an agreement entered into by which the Trustees abolisned tho toils on the Corporation paying an annual sum oi I £ 3,075, which sum, however, was not to be called for unless a deficit in the trust's finances demanded it. This had the effect of doing away with the halfpenny toll and all the hardships it entailed. Since then the liability ha;8 been totally done away with. II Elevated in timo to the Aldermaruc Bench, Mr. Burnie was, in November, 1883, installed into the highest office the town could bestow upon him, and it was an election not with- I out incident. Three months previously Mr. Burnie had consented to stand for the Mayoralty if it- was the wish of the Council. but at the eleventh hour there was an op- ponent in the field, and the name of Captain Laurence Tulloch was actually proposed on the 9th. Mt. W. J. Rees moved the appoint- ment of Mr. Burnie a.s the successor to Aid. E Rice Daniel (since deceased) and then Mr Thomas Davies proposed the name of Captain Tulloch. Mr. Burnie explained his position, and declared that if h's supporters Tjjmld release him from his protfdse he would even then retire in favour of Captam Tub loch. The latter, however, IviLli(irew, and )Jr. Burnie was elected una.nir°ous The nsw Mayor had initiated, a schen'e 'or the erection oi what is now the PUBLIC LIBRARY AND ART S0H0OL | on the Alexandra-road, and perhaps the chief event of his year of office w'Jo" the layirig of the foundation stone of the building which some three years later was formally opened bV the late Mr. Gladstone, dellvered a memorable speech during his Swansea visit, \s the first East Side representative to be- come Mayor, Mr. Burnie was entertained to a banquet by his friends across the water, md altogether his selection was we 1 -justi- fiod. Mr. W. J. Rees, who had proposed electiou, testified to this at the close ot \fr Burnie's year of office- when in the Council he alluded to the ab"- conscientious nd courteous manner in win0}1 ri e retiring Mayor had discharged his d^ies. which, he jj-j gave the most e«tirPi satis.action, not on'lY to the Councilors, but the burge^ eenerallv. and which refiectf'd honourably unon himself and to the credit of the town. Mderman Glaabrook declared there coutd be |WO opinions a.s to the very able manner which Mr Burnie h;vl discharged the duties of his office, whilst Mt- Caf>' that the retiring Mayor had ende*™^ h _mself to the inhabitants by his lTmness, „d courtesy.

Burnie faithfully attended parliaments^ DUTIES. and on one occasion made a speech in the House of Comm(}J18 against grants to Royalty I that caused a mild sensation. But it was in committee work that the member for Swan- sea was most frequently seen. At length, in 1895, Sir John Llewelyn won the seat by defeating Mr. Burnie by the substantial ma- jority of 421 votes, and for the first time in history Swansea was represented in Par- liament by a Conservative, who, however, was, and is still, popular with the electors of all shades of politics and creeds. For of all shades of politics and creeds. For two years in succession Mr. Burnie was president of the Swansea Chamber of Com- merce. Ke was a'KO president of the Swan- sea- Devonian Society. And among other un- dertakings in which he had an interest was thai of Messrs. Taylor and Co., "Wind-street, of which he was a director. He was also a iustice of the peace for the borougr. For the P-. z ten ears the deceased gon? ^eman 1 had led «• very private hfe..ir.d m 1903 be pubiishevi a SMAJJj BOOvI 'Jr under the title of "Idle H.vir FJighi-s, which showed the author to be possessed, not merely of poetic tastes of no mean older, but of hign intellectual gifts. The collection which— "Were not writ for love of pelf. The effort though it be disdained Was pastime, pleasing to myself"— includes an In Memoriam to the late Mr. Gladstone, of whom Mr. Burnie was a great admirer, hut, amongst the most striking of the verses are those under the title "Quails vita finis ita —-("As j? life so is its end"). They run Tlie man who speaks A kindly word, to soothe the aching heart. Or light some tear-dimmed eye To turn or break the point of sorrow's dart, Aimed at a weary wanderer passing by. The man who gives A helping band to raise whom care bows down. The maTl who loves I Ail Nature's gifts, mightiest or most minute. The bird, the brute, fhc flower. He who thus speaks, thus gives a hand, thus loves, Glides to his rest, his record safe for ever In the great archives of Eternity." Perhaps, bowi-ver, the deceased gentle- man's own personal character is bed seen in come other lines which open: He. too. maybe, ere yef-termorn was toiling for a wreath— A tawdy erown--a,n empty name. Whether of wealth, or power, or fame: Mere gilded fringe round shadowy frame E en when the brow's beneath Whilst plume and pall Remindeth all That life itself will pass, soon paM beyond recall. I f "Fame" and "Ambition" are the titles of other poems, and in eonie respects they lend one to think that the late Mr. Burnie's life was in a. measure a disappointment- However, despite his strong Radical views, all parties and sects will agree that Swansea ha-5, lost a. nobte son bv adoption; and one who added credit to his fair native land of Devon.

London, Friday.—In the Divorce Court on Friday, before the President. Sir Goreil Barnes and a common jury, the case of Hughes v. Hughes and Thomas was heard. This was the suit of Mr. John Joseph Hughes, a coal miner of Gorseinon, for a divorce from Leah Hughes, against whom he alleged adultery with Mr. Jas.

Jenkins, solicitor, Swansea) appeared for the petitioner, and Mr. Frampton (instructed by the London agents of Mr. E. M. Clason Dahno, solicitor, Swansea) for t.he co-respondent. The res- pondent was not represented. Mr. Bavford, in opening the case, said the respondent had put in no answer, but she had, in fact, made a written confession with regard to the adultery. The co-res- pondent, however, denied adultery. The marriage took place on May 26th, 1901, at the Registry Office, Llaneiiy. About a year or so after the marriage petitioner and his wife went to live at Brynhyfryd. The co- respondent lived within some three hun- dred yards of them. He was a married man living there with his wife and child- ren. He was a man who held some position there, because he was the superintendent 01 the Sunday School belonging toO the chapel which the respondent attended, and no doubt it was through that that she got on intimate terms with the co-respondent, The petitioner and the respondent led a happy life together, and were 011 most af- fectionate terms for five or six years. There were two children of the marriage, one a little girl of six and a half years, and the other a, boy of only 18 months. That was a matter that would have to be taken into consideration in considering the ques- tion of damages. With regard to the adul- tery. some time in June last year the peti- tioner got an anonymous letter, which ex- t remcly upset him. He thought there must be something in it. and he did not go to work for a, fortnight or three weeks because he was so much upset. On July 18 he went back to work and remained there about an hour. He then went back to the house. During the time he had been at home pre- viously, the co-respondent on one occasion came to the house and knocked at the door. and when petitioner opened the door he seemed liabbergasted and said something about some posts that he wanted to move. On July 1st. petitioner, with his brother- in-law, watched the house, and in the even- ing they SAW THE CO-RESPONDENT COME ALONG. He whistled and the respondent came out of the house with the baby in her arms. They met and then went into the house, and tlie baby was left inside. They came out again and went round the corner to the chicken house. The petitioner was watch- ing on one side and bis brofcher-in-law on the other, and they saw the respondent and the co-respondent' actually commit miscon- duct. The petitioner jumped at co-respon- dent. got him by the throat, and threw hifti down on the ground, and. the brother-in- law came too and held him. The unfor- tunate woman cowered down in a corner. Tho row attracted some neighbours. What the defence eon H be under the circum- stances it was difficult to see. The co- respondent's wife was sent for. She came, and when she saw her husband, she made a, remark that she "could not make out how it v.-as, but he was always away "11 the evening." The co-respondent went away after that, the respondent was lJ1 an excited ana nervous state, and in the course of the night she made two or three at- tempts to take her life, which she was pre- vented doing, and eventually she was per- suaded to go to her father's house. On Julv 51:h she wrote to her husband this letter —"Dear Jack.—Jrst a few lints to ask you to oonle over to me. I have made up ni.v niioa to tell you everything, so then you cftn do sis you like with* him. I will come as a witness with you against him any time. From Leah. Petitioner did not go to see her, but he weff to his soli- citor, and lie had only seen his wife once rince. On July 10th she made a confession as follows :— I first met James Thomas, aged about 50. at a chapel treat at Llaudilo about July. 1906. About fonr months afterwards he cams to my house and made improper overtures to me." From then onw.d the confession stated misconduct had token place until the incident of July 1st, That confession was made in the presence of Mr. Charles Bevan Jenkins, the solicitor. Counsel a^ked the jury under the circum- stances to award the petitioner damages. The petitioner, in his evidence, said he was living at Gorseinon. aid was employed in a coal mine. He got from 10s. to 12s. a day wages. He was married on May 25th. 1901. He had gone to school with the corespondent. He was superintend^-11." 01 the Sun day School at the chapel ?—^ Did your wife attend tiic chapel?—Yes, and she also went to ,be school. In June last, said fitness, he got an anonymous letter. He thought there was "gomething in it," and be stayed at home throe weeks; because lie waf"- vexing and upset." On Juty 1st h.e determined to watch with his brother-in-law. As they were watching co-respondent James Thomas came and whistled, asd went to the back and called "Jack" t:nee or four times. The respondent then crme out with the baby in her arms. He put the post down and went into the house,'wiih her. She put the baby to bed. a/*d five co-respondent took her round the tfaist and went to tho chicken shed. There misconduct took place. He (witness) sprang at tho co-res- pondent and seized him by the throat. What did you say when you caught hold of him?—I told hid" I had got him at last. and lie sent for his wife. When she came she said she cofhl not make out where i,? was spending his time every night til! 12 o'clock, but she could see now. Did your wife say anything?—She wanted mc to forgive her. What became of your wife?—She wanted to go and make f-v-av with herself. She tried to get a knile, and I took it from her. She afterwards went, to her father. In July he received the letter from his wife. Cross-examined by Mr. Frampt-on It would not be tru? to say that your wife met co-respondent for the "first time in 1906? Witness She met him at Llandilo. put your wife attended at the chapel -• here he was the superintendent ?—Yes. Did not Mr. Thomas came to your house occasionally :—q. Did DP not try K) persuaae you 10 go to chapel?—\es. T. Then he came to see vor?—• tvet was a nice excuse. Did you eventually go to the .Sometimes. Did Thomas come to ask permission to (put, up some post* near your stable?—Yes. He hod a piece of iand near there?— j Yes Did the anonymous letter yon received mention any names?—Yes, "JaeS ± Do I understand that he called cut. "Jack" on this occasion in July?—Yes, be called "Jack." Jack being one of your name:Yes. If your wife and the co-respondent wanted to commit adultery, there was no reason why they should not have done so in the house?—There were plenty of places 1!1 the house. And you wish the jury to believe that though they might have done it in the house, they went ontside?—Yes. And you wish the jury to believe that you allowed these two people to commit misconduct before you interfered ?—They were in the act when I came upon them. "I told him." said witness, "he ought to be ashamed of himself." Did be say he was innocent ?—He said nothing. He said. "I shall measure my words." Did Thomas James, your brother-in-law, say, "I have got a house, and I'li spend it on this case?"—I don't remember. Have you ever said to your wife you "wished to God von could get rid of her?" —No. And that if you did yon would marry someone with money?—No such thing. Did won tell her yen wanted to get C200 out of Thomas?—No such thing. And that if you did she and you would go and live together again?—No. Did you tell her father that you had onlv sent her home for a time till you couJd get something out of Thomas?—No. And that afterwards you would live to- gether?—No. Witness denied that he had told the fat her that he was going to do the s-aine as had been done in another case in which a man was threatened with divorce proceed- ings and paid £ 1,500, and the husband and wife lived together again. Did not the husband in that case also pounce down upon the man as he stood in a doorway?—I don't know. You don't know 'that the incidents in that case were like yours?—No. In re examination, witness said that • ne secured the co respondent's cap on the occa- sion on July, and had it now in court. Thomas James, coal miner, gave similar testimony. As to the incident alleged on July 1, he admitted that he had had a dispute with the co-respondent about seme land. Samuel Evans, collier, gave evidence that he came on the scene at the time when the petitioner had the co-respondent on the ground. Mr. Charles Bevan Jenkins, solicitor, hFisher-street. Swansea, spoke to taking Sown the wife's statement confessing adul- terv. In cross-examination, he said he could not recollect whether the statement was made in Welsh, but he admitted that- there was no Welsh equivalent for the pi vase, Im- proper overtures." This concluded the evidence. I For the defence. Mr. Framntor at once called the oresj>ondent. CO-RESPONDEA r IN THE BOX. I Mr. James Thomas, the co-respondent, in his 'evidence, said he lived at Gors-einon. He had known petitioner since ho was a boy; and be made the aeauaintancfe of the respondent, in 1905. He was then superin- tendent of the local chapel, and also in 1906 the respondent attendee there. He was a married man, and had one child. From time t 0 time he and his wife had called upon the petitioner and his wii\|. Have yo'i ever at any time committed adultery with Mrs. Hughes?—N ever. Witness explained that he had rented a piece of land near to the petitioner's house, and in June he was desirous of disposing ot it. It was fenced round with wire and poles, and in June he took the poles up. It was a fact that on July 1st he called at the petitioner's house on his way home. He first of all called out "Jack," .ud receiving no reply, he knocked at the deor, aid Mrs. Hughes opened it. He asked if John was in, and she said No," and he then asked if she knew whether Njr. Ro- berts had taken the poles away. That was all that took place. Then John Hughes jumped out of tlie garden," said witness, "and collared me to the ground. That took place at the I'rojjt door." Is it true that at the time von were against the chicken shed ut the back:—I was at the front door of the house. Is that true that yoa had been at -the house?—No. As Hughes held me on the ground he willed "Tom, come here." Than Tom James came and caught hold of me ;uid held mc. I said to hiyi "I'll make you sit up for this." Tom James said "I have got a house, and 1 11 spend my house on this business." John Hughes said "1 have had -Lid a. letter and I have been watching ab-oul a fortnight and I haTe seen you here to- night." I said I was innocent of the charge, and I am innocent. A cap has been produced. Js that Y011rs? —It is a lie that is not mr can. Witness put tb 5 cap on, and m reply to t.he judsre said' if was not his cap at all. Mr. Frampton: Has there ever been ny impropriety between you and Mrs. Hughes? -—Never. Cross-examined, witness admitted tiiii he took no proceedings for the assault upon ¡ him. but said be consulted his solicitor, who advised him to see what course the petitioner would take. I Do you say that this story has been <on- eocted for the purpose of gcfTmg damages out of you?—'x'e?. I RESPONDENT CAUSED. Mrs. Leah Hughes, the respondent, was called by counsel.

WIRE ROPE SNAPPED. UNFORTUNATE FATALITY AT THE KING'S DOCK. FOURTH VICTIM WITHIN A WEEK: MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. Coming so soon after the treble fatality on Monday, the accident that occurred at the new King's Dock works on Saturday, about noon, was doubly unfortunate. A single young man named Long, residing in the contractors' own houses at Port Ten- riant, was employed just before one p.m. at a spot behind the south waJl of what is known as the Ca-m-niell, Laird extension. A crane was "slewing" a "skip" of ealrth from the excavations, and in some in- explicable way the wire rope broke, and the skip came down on the unfortunate fellow killing him instantaneously. The extraordinary part of this unfortunate fatality is that the rope is isaid to be able to stand a breaking strain of thirty tons, whereas the load being lifted at the. tame did not. weigh) more than between 30 cwt, and two tons. "MUST HAVE BEEN SOME HIDDEK DEFECT." An niquest was held at the Sailors' Rest. Swansea, 011 Monday on the body of Patrick Long (41), labourer, who wa.s killed at the new"King's Doc-k works on Saturday. Mr. Llovd Edwards, H.M. Inspector of Factories, was present. James Smith, foreman in charge of the crane gang, said deceased was filling- a "skip," and whom it jibbed round the rope "went" in the act of swinging, and the "skip" fell on deceased. By the Coroner Deceased got under the "skip" after it had been filled and swung. ip "I Coroner: You can't tell us anything about the history of the rope?—It looked sound I and good when I exrumncd it on Friday and Saturday morning. It was a steel one. Mr. Lloyd Edwards Do you examine it I every morning:—Not every morning, but we keep our eyes on them. Do vou run your hands over them or what-?—We can tell at once where they are "stranded." Thomas Briggs, crane-driver, said the rope was a seven-cightiis one, testing strength 32 tons. The weight at most of the "skip" would be 35 cwt. Witness identified the piece of rope pro- duced and laid before the corooore as the hope which h.td broken. Bv the Corooer There was nothing 011 the crane to fray the rope. The rope had been on the crane about nine or :en months. About last Thursday there was a strand gone, but- that was on the driven and not on the weight-<:arrymg part at all. Witness, continuing, said the foreman al- ways took particular notice of the bonds. John Black, mechanical engineer, said the firm paid the men half a shift a fortnight for r, the examining and reporting of ropes. Then he wonld order fresh ropes. In the present ease there was no report. By the Coroner: This rope was nine months old. Lives of ropes such as this vaiied. Some had busted six years, but he had known some to go in three months. By Mr. Lloyd Edwards: In the present. in- stance all the strands seemed to have gone at once. One of the strands in the rope was really sufficient to have lifted the "skip" itself. Coiroiner There must have .been some hid- den defect in the rope?—Must have been. Witness Smith (recalled) said deceased was killed instantaneous^. The "skip" buried him at once. Coroner said the whole point was as to Whether the precautions as to examining the rope were adequate. There was nothing to show how the rope broke; there was prob- ably a flaw in the crope it--if. It was a diffi- cult thing to adjudge on. According to the evidence it was a question simply of bel-iev- iirr the witnesses as to the rope. He per- sonally did not see that anyone wa.s respons- ible. L "Verdict was returned of "Accidental death," the jm-y. adding that every precau- tion had oeen taken, and no blame was at- tachable to anyone. The Coroner concurred i

SWANSEA'S IMMORAL GIRLS. STARTLING STATEMENTS BY DR. RAWLINGS. SPREAD OF JUVENILE DEPRAVITY, Dr. J. A. Rawlings, J. P Swansea, mada some startling remarks, he morals a,- Swansea at the annual i 1.ri- of t.lte SoutiB Wales Vigilance Associate--n,, at Caixnff, on Thursday. In one respect, he sawi, he had seen great change come over Swansea. Near the main street years ago there would be (tec doctor spoke hypothetically) a disordeii* house, known to t.he police, and allowed Mf exist by the police. Then out in the maifi street soliciting would go on, without any attempt at suppmsJoo by the police. AU that had nearly waled. There had been a great impiiYvemb ill over the country. At the same time he advised them not to take too much notice of police statistics, and he said that, although chairman of the iSwcmsea. Watch Committee. He noticed just oefor he left that the Chief Constable gave 1P: as the number of degraded women in Swaifc« sea; but that dealt with the professional class—those who made a trade of vice That number by no means represented tboot who had gone astray and were leading others astray. The saddest part of the whole thing was the spread of juvenile de- pravity, and in a town. like Swa.nsea they might possiblv have MANY HUNDREDS OF YOUNG GIRLS who were the "foci" of vie* to those around them. They had fo deal with this evid in such insidious forms that it was only those who were workers in the ca-us3 who had any idea. of the spread of the ev il. Dr. Rawlings pleaded for heavier punish- ment for keepers of disorderly houses, even for a. first offence, and argued that solicitation should be made as much a criminal offence on the part of men a-F it was on the part of women. CHIEF CONSTABLE'S OPINION.
