MASONIC BALL AT BRIDGEND. On Thursday night a ball, organised by the Ogmore Lodge of Freemasons, was held at the Town-hall, Bridgend. it The arrangements were well carried out by a committee, who "rio,, fortu- nate in the choice Qf secretary. The various details :6- ,J 'f, f't,' !:Iv: 4 of the preliminary work, many and onerous, were carried out by Bro. Edwin Price, with energy and urbanity. The decorations of the room were in keeping, emblems of the mystic order, portraits, &c., being placed about the hall. The hall and supper-room presented a bright appearance, and the menu of the latter gave instance of the care and attention Bro. C. E. Perry had bestowed on the catering. We should mention the kindness of Mrs. Stiles, of Brewery-house, in sending some choice plants to deck the ball-room. Bro. A. D. Webber, the tvler, also claims notice for the willing aid he gave in thrf work of decoration, and Rhys and his sons showed the same desire to carry out their department; and to all who helped to contribute to the success of the ball the committee's thanks are due. Mrs. Walter Ed- wards had charge of the ladies' cloak-room. Upwards of 150 attended, and dancing was kept to the delightful music of Mr. W. F. Hulley's band until late in the morning.

THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD OF WALES, 1885. DISPOSAL OF THE SURPLUS FUND. On Friday evening a meeting of the Aberdare Committee for promoting the national gathering of 1885 was held in the Tabernacle Chapel, the Temperance-hall being engaged. It was arranged that the committee meeting which the deputation from the National Eisteddfod Association would attend should be followed by a public meeting, under the presidency of Lord Aberdare. The deputation was to consist of Messrs. J. H. Puleston, M.P., Devonport; Stephen Evans, J.P., London; T. Mirchant Williams, BA., London; D. GriHith (" CIwydfardd "), Abergele and E. Vincent Evans, London. There was not. a large attendance at the committee meeting. With the exception of Mr. Puleston, all the members of the deputation were present, and were supported by the Veu. Arch- deacon Griffiths, Neath. On the motion of the Rev Dr. PRICE, the Vicar of Aberdare (the Rev. 1). 15. Jenkins) took the chair. The Rev. CHATKMAN having welcomed the depu- tation, The SKCRKTARY (Mr. J. R. Lewis) read a letter regretting his inabiiity to attend from" Hwfa Mon." The secretaries of the several committees then read from proof sheets the subjects selected for competition, and various alterations having been made the programme was eventuallv adopted. The Rev. CHAIRMAN said there was one matter which he desired to allude to. Supposing that there should bo a surplus, what was to be done with it? There was a meeting of the Executive Committee held the other night, when it was determined, in the event of there being a surplus, that it should be devoted, not to anything, though they wanted it bally, connected with Aberdare. They agreed that the surplus should be divided between the three Colleges of Cardiff, Aberystwith, and Bangor, and a certain sum, a pro- portion, was, he believed, to be handed over to the society those gentlemen who attended represented. The Ven. Archdeacon GRIFFITHS asked whether in the estimated expenses there had been included the expenses of publishing the transactions at the close of the national meeting. The Rev. Mr. HOWELL That has not been decided upon it will come out of the surplus. The Ven. Archdeacon GRIFFITHS thought that was the proper place to discuss the question of including the expenses. The Rev. CHAIRMAN said he thought so too. The Ven. Archdeacon GRIFFITHS said he knew in connection with past Eisteddfodau that it had been a great weakness that such transactions had not been published. If he was in order he would move that the expenses of publishing the trans- actions of the Eisteddfod be included with the general expenses, and that no margin be devoted for any purpose, however good or however patriotic, or handed over to anybody, until the transactions had been published. (Applause.) Mr. MARCHANT WILLIAMS said that one of the main objects of the National Eisteddfod Association was to publish the transactions of their national meetings, At any rate, they went so far as to reserve the right of publishing the successful compositions for which they gave prizes, and they were quite prepared to publish the transactions of the forthcoming Eis- teddfod. With regard to the disposition of the surplus he was somewhat taken aback by the re- solution cometo. They were at the present moment wanting funds, and the object of the National Association was to supply those funds to those places that were supposed to be too weak to obtain funds. Though the Liverpool Eisteddfod was a great success, but financially it was not so, lie had no doubt that they should get all their prize-money back. They fully expected to get £200, and if they had they would have been able to hand over to the Aberdare Committee at least jE200, but they could not do so simply for the want of funds. They contended that one Eisteddfod was intended to support the next. (Hear, hear.) When he was told that the association was to have a portion, and the Cardiff, Aberystwith, and Bangor Colleges portions, he really thought they were frittering away the surplus, which might be usefully employed in maintaining the national institution. Mr. STKPHKN EVANS and the Ven. Archdeacon GRIFFITHS spoke in favour of the surplus being handed over to the National Association after the payment of the expenses of publishing the tran- sactions of the gathering. Some discussion followed, whereapon it w, unanimously agreed, upon the motion of-the- Mr. Howell, seconded by the Rev. K Evans, ftfld supported by Mr. D. Davies (Canon:street), „to hand over the surplus to the NatiortM;»A«soei'aw?»nI on the condition that they published the tran- sactions and devoted what remained for national purposes. This decision was loudly cheered. THE PUBLIC MEETING. The public meeting was held in Tabernacle Chapel, which was well filled. The Ven. Archdeacon GRIFFITHS was voted to the chair, and, after expressing sorrow at the un- fortunate absence of Lord Aberdare, he said that in no time in their recollection had their old insti- tution stood better in the public estimation than it did at the present moment. The object of the Eisteddfod was simply to advance the nation, especially in the fields of literature, music, and art. They knew there was a great fondness for the old institution in the minds of Welshmen gene- rally, and they thought it to be their duty to do all they possibly could to make the institution worthy of the country. The committee had come to a resolution that day which he had no doubt would pass throughout the whole country, and he hoped it would meet with general approval. It was, that the surplus of each Eisteddfod for the future should be given, not to any local purposes, but to the National Eisteddfod Association. (Applause) Mr. DAN ISSAC DAVIES, Cardiff, then proposed in. a vigorous speech, That this meeting rejoices in the fact that the National Eisteddfod of Walesis to be held in Aberdare this year, and pledges itself to support it by every legitimate means, and trusts that all friends of eisteddfodau in the Principality and elsewhere will do all in their power to make the National Eisteddfod a complete success. "Hwfa Mon" seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. T. Marchant Williams, Mr. Evans, &c., and agreed to with unanimity. After other speeches advocating the maintenance of the national institution, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the Ven. Archdeacon for presiding.

In the Divorce Court, on Tuesday Mrs. Weldon's suit for attachment against her husband, for non- restitution of conjugal rights, was refused, but the buabftad was directed to pay the costs. w; J Llflóln <! 'jI" I

GLAMORGANSHIRE WINTER ASSIZES. The Winter Assizes for the 'county of Gla- morgan were commenced at the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Tuesday morning, the civil cases being taken in the Nisi Prius Court, before Mr. Justice Stephen, and the criminal cases in the Crown Court, before Mr. Justice Smith. CROWN COURT. Business was commenced in this court at a quarter to eleven, the necessary formalities having been previously performed. GRAND JURY. The following gentlemen were sworn on the grand jury :—Mr. F. E. Stacey, Lieutenant-Colonel Hill, Mr. j. S. Gibbon, Mr. Jonas U'atson, Sir Joseph Spearman, Mr R. K. Prichard, Mr R. H. Rhvs, Mr Birt St. Aubin Jeuner, Mr. James Lewis, Mr. Robert W. Llewellyn, Mr. J. R. Crawshay, Lieut.-Colonel Charles R. Franklen, Mr. Evan Lewis, Mr. G. L. Clarke, Mr. Thurston Bassett, Mr. Griffith Phillips, Mr. T. W. Booker, Mr. W. T. Lewis, Mr. C. H. Williams, Mr. Franklen Evans, Mr. Robert Forrest, Mr. Wm. Prichard, and Mr. James Ware. NON-ATTENDANCE OF PROSECUTING SOLICITORS. In a few minutes the foreman of the jury, Mr. Stacey, returned into court, and complained to his lordship that the jury were put to great incon- venience by the non-attendance before them of prosecuting solicitors. His Lordship said he would soon put that right. He would give notice that unless the grand jury were attended by the prosecuting solicitors he would disallow their costs in the cases with which they were concerned. SHOOTING DEER AT SWANSEA, John John and John John, young men, were in- dicted for wilfully killing and carrying away a deer, the property of Mr. Graham Vivian, at. Ovstermouth, on the 24-th day of January, 1885.— Mr. Abel Thomas prosecuted, and Mr. David Lewis defended.—Mr. Thomas, in opening the case, said that on the 2tthof January last a keeper of Mr. Vivian's was in the Clyne Wood, belonging to that gentleman, and heard a shot fired. On going to the spot he found drops of blood, and, fol- lowing the track, came to the boundary of the park, and found on the railings a quantity of hair. He got, tho assistance of a constable and followed the track into the wood of Sir John Morris, where they eventually reached the body of a deer. They then concealed themselves, and at half-past seven at night, when it was dark, the prisoners went to the spot, and taking the deer upon their shoulders, carried it off On being charged before the magistrates, one of the prisoners admitted that lie had shot the deer. In an able defence. upon which he was com- plimented by the judge, Mr. David Lewis con- tended that the prisoners could not be considered guiity, as they were indicted for having shot the deer in Clyne Wood, whereas the evidence he had brought before the court went to show that the deer was started by a boy outside Sir John Morris's property, and that when it came into the wood where it was found the prisoners, with an Englishman's idea of sport, very naturally knocked it over. He referred to the uncommon nature of the charge, which he said was a remnant of the feudal ages, and urged upon the jury to consider that the prisoners were brought up on t charge which was of such an extraordinary character that at the time the offence was committed they were entirely ignorant of the nature of their crime. The jury then retired to consider their verdict. The Foreman returned after an absence of a couple of hours, and said the jury could not agree, but was sent back again to consider the matter. After considering the matter altogether for over three hours the foreman of the jury again came into court and said they were equally divided. His Lordship, having consulted with Mr. Abel Thomas, told the jury that as they were not likely to arrive at a butter understanding if they re- remained ati right the better course for them to adopt would be for those who were in favour of a conviction to make a concession, and give the prisoners the benelit of the doubt. Mr. Thomas had consented to that course, and he thought it was the most reasonable to adopt. The jury accepted the suggestion, and returned a verdict of not guilty. The prisoners were then discharged. CHARGE OF STKALING FROM THE PliRSON AT SWANSEA. Annie Gwynne, aged 21, a dressmaker, of re- spectable appearance, and Elizabeth Mary Bell, 21, hawker, were indicted for stealing from the person of John Cox, at Swansea, on the 29th day of January, a purse and £8 in money. Mr. J. Walter Jones prosecuted, and Mr. Abel Thomas defended. The evidence went to show that prosecutor, who was a seafaring man, met the prisoners in a public-house at Swansea and that the three visited several other public-houses afterwards. Prosecutor at length became very drunk, and on gaining consciousness found that his purse and money were gone. Prosecutor was eventually found lying on the floor of a. public- hcuse alone, and as it was stated that no one had entered the room but the two prisoners they were charged with the theft.-The jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty, and the prisoners were discharged. ROBBERY WITH VIOLRNCE AT CARDIFF. Samuel Perry, aged 22, a plasterer, and Amelia Morgan, aged 24-, a prostitute, were charged with assaulting Andrew ICnodson, a sailor, and stealing from his person a purse and £ 1 15s. in money, and also an overcoat, on the 7th of January. Mr. W. P. James prosecuted.—It was alleged that the pro- secutor met the female prisoner in Bute-street about twelve o'clock on the night named. She asked him to go home with her, and they got into a cab at her request and on her promising to pay the fare. The male prisoner got on the box, and they drove to the East Moors, where, a dispute arising as to the fare. the prisoners assaulted the prose- cutor and robbed him of the money and articles named.—For the defence it was contended that the prisoners were the wrong persons, and it was sought to prove an alibi in the case of the female prisoner, two witnesses being called who saw her at her house late on the evening of the alleged rob- bery, when she was said to have been seriously ill.- The jury consulted for a few moments, and then returned a verdict of guilty against both prisoners. They were sentenced to fifteen months' hard taboureach. STABBING A FATHER-IN-LAW AT ABERDARE. Thomas Harris, 28, haulier, was charged with wounding Peter John with intent to do grievous bodily harm, at Aberdare, on the 9th of December last. Mr. T. Walter Williams appeared for the pro- secution. The prisoner was the prosecutor's son- in-law. The latter stated that on the 9th of December, in consequence of some ill-feeling that had existed between them, prisoner went to pro- secutor's house and challenged him to light. He did not go out at the time, but on doing so later on prisoner sprang out from a dark corner and stabbed him in the back with a knife. The prisoner, in defence, said he had been perse- cuted by his father-in-law ever since he had been married, and that on the occasion in question he was attacked, and simply acted in self-defence. The jury returned a verdict against the prisoner of unlawfully wounding, and he was sentenced to four months' imprisonment with hard labour. NO TRUE BILL. The grand jury found no true bill against Mary Miller for committing Corrupt perjury at Swansea on the 11th of December last. The court then rose. NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice STKPHKN and a Jury.) His lordship took his seat at 10.45. A DISPUTED CONTRACT. REES WILLIAMS 11. WILLIAM JONES.—This was a c"Litu for work done and materials supplied, the amount claimed being JE70 12s. 3d. Mr. B. F. Williams and Mr. Brynmor Jones appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. M'lntyre, Q.C., M.P., and Mr. W. Evans (instructed by Messrs. Grover and Grover, Ponty- pridd) for the defendant, landlord of the Porth Hotel, Porth. The plaintiff is a painter, decorator, &c., and based his claim on charge, which were partially admitted, for renovating defendant's hotel. The questions in dispute were cerrain items in the bill, in regard to which witnesses ou behatfof the plaintiff were under examination during the greater part of the morning. The de- fendant, in the course of his examination, said the plaintiff had not credited him with money he had paid; that the charges were excessive, and that he had a cross claim of £37. He also said that he had paid the plaintiff JB12 in settlement of tl'" dispute. Alderman Jones, Cardiff, was called on behalf of the defendant, and gave it as his opinion that the charges were decidedly too heavy. -His Lordship, in summing up, said the principal question for the jury to decide was whether the matter was finally settled between the parties by the payment of JE12. If they thought it was they would give a verdict for the defendant; if they thought, it was not it became a matter of account between-the two, and would have to go to a referee. The jury found for the defendant, for whom rjad^ngfa^'&asgiyen. THE NEATH LIBEL AND SLANDER CASES. In the action for slander by W. Hopkins against B. Howell, and the action for libel by the same plaintiff against R. Howell, Mr. M'Intyre Q.C., M.P., with whom was Mr. G. B. Hughes (instructed by Messrs. Leyson, Richards, and Davies). asked his lordship's permission to withdraw, which was granted. The defendant's counsel were Mr. B. F. Williams and Mr. Brynmor Jones, instructed in the first case by Messrs. Charles and Evans, and in the second by Mr. T. Williams. The court adjourned at 4.45 CROWN COURT.—WEDNESDAY. In this court the trial of prisoners was com- menced at ten o'clock, before Mr. Justice Smith. PLE., OF GUILTY. Kate Osborne, 23, servant, pleaded guilty to three charges of stealing boots, the property of Thomas Evans, Llanwonno, on the 2nd of January; of obtaining goods by false pretences from William Coles, at Llanwonno, on the 31st of December, 1884 and also with obtaining goods by false pre- tences from David Davies, at Llanwonno, on the the 2nd of January, 1835. The prisoner was sen- tenced to six weeks' imprisonment with hard la bour. CHARGE AGAINST A CARDIFF COMMISSION AGENT. David Thomas, aged 35. a commission agent, was indicted for obtaining by false pretences from John Williams and others four tons weight of arti- ficial manure at Cardiff, on the 14th of April, 1884. Mr. Abel Thomas prosecuted, and Mr. Jeffries defended. The prisoner, who was the Cardiff agent for the prosecutors, who are artificial manure merchants, ordered four tons of manure to be sent to a man named John Williams at the Elephant and Castle Hotel, Carmarthen, on the 14th of April. The manure was sent to Carmarthen, but no such man as John Williams could be found, and the manure remained at the railway statioo. Shortly afterwards the station-master received a postcard purporting to have been written by John Williams, but alleged by the prosecution to have been forged by the prisoner, ordering the manure to be sent to Crymmych, to one David Thomas. This was done, and the manure was taken possession of at the latter place by the prisoner, and ultimately sold at his directions. The prosecutors received none of the proceeds of this sale. Mr. Jeffries, for the defence, contended that as there was no proof that the offence had been committed in the county of Glamorgan they could not pro- ceed with the case at those assizes. The Judge upheld this contention, and directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. Another charge against the prisoner of obtaining manure on the 5th of November, 1884, fell through on the same ground, and the prisoner was discharged. A. CARDIFF SHOOTING CASE—ACQUITTAL OF THE PRISONER. Elias May, aged 22, a labourer, was charged with unlawfully wounding James Barrv, at Cardiff, on the 10th of January, 1885.— Mr. Thompson appeared for the prosecu- tion, and Mr. Abel Thomas for the defence. In opening the case Mr. Thompson said the prisoner and his step-mother had, for some reason, become obnoxious to the people living in the n ighbourhood of South Church-street. On the 10th of January James Barry was in the street named, and saw a number of people there carrying an effigy of the prisoner's step- mother. He heard a shot fired, and on the crcwd opening saw prisoner running away. Prisoner turned and fired three more shots, and one of the bullets lodged in Barry's arm. Mr. Abel Thomas, however, elicited in cross-examina- tion of the witnesses that the prisoner and his step-mother had given evidence in the police- court on behalf of the police in a case wherein several men were charged with assaulting the police. The complainant, in answer to Mr. Thomas, said he could not tell how many times he had been up for assaulting the police, and on being asked if that was because the charges against him had been too numerous to, remember, he replied that he had been up two or three times to his knowledge. The prisoner had made no attempt to elude the police. and, on being arrested, said that he shot in self-defence. The crowd was after him with big sticks because he interfered when they tried to burn his mother's house down. It also transpired that the prisoner fired the first shot in the air to frighten the crowd who were after him, and then ran away. They ran after him again, and on over- taking him he fired again in self-defence. Mr. Thomas having delivered a very impressive address to the jury, the Judge summed up, and the jury, without a minute's deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty. He was thereupon dis- charged, apparently to the great satisfaction of the ,tp crowd of people in court. CHARGE OF WOUNDING AT MERTHYR. William Williams was indicted for unlawfully wounding Alfred Thomas at Mèrthyr Tydfil on the 27th October, 1884-, Mr. W. T. Lewis prosecuted, and Mr. B. F. Williams defended.—In opening the case Mr. Lewis said that on Monday evening, October 27, Police-Constable Alfred Thomas was on duty at Glebeland-street, Merthyr, and his attention was called to a part of the street where prisoner's wife was making disturbance. The constable tried to induce her to go home, and prisoner came forward and said she should not go. On the constable trying to induce the prisoner to go home quietly with his wife he became obstreperous, and the constable threatened to tako liiin iuto custody. Prisoner thereupon drew a knife, and struck at the constable, who, in shielding his body, sustained a stab in the hand. For the defence it was con- tended that the injury to the constable was purely accidental. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and prisoner was discharged.. ATTEMPT TO DO BODILY HARM AT LLANTRISANT. Cornelius Kellarne, aged 30, a labourer, was charged with attempting to do grievous bodily harm to Edgar Treharne at Llantrisant on the 24th of January, 1885.—Mr. J. G. Llewellyn prose- cuted.—It appeared that the prisoner had gone into the Cross Keys Inn, at Llantrisant, on the day in question and asked for some beer. The landlord refused to supply him because he was drunk. After an altercation the prisoner went out of the house and returned in ten minutes with a large stone, which he threw at the landlord. The latter, however, ducked his head, and the stone struck the settle behind him.—The jury retired for half an hour, and then returned a verdict of guilty.-Prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COIN AT PONTYPRIDD. Henry Pitman, 18, a butcher, and William White, 17, a billiard marker, were charged with having in their possession 65 pieces of counterfeit coin resembling half-crowns, at Pontypridd,on the 23rd of December, 1884. The grand jury found no true bill against White. Pitman was found guilty and sentenced to eight months' imprison- ment with hard labour. WHOLESALE THEFT OF PHEASANTS AT SWANSEA. Lewis Edwards, 22, haulier, and Joseph Billingham, 19, collier, were charged with stealing 31 pheasants, of the value of j631, the property of the Hon. Henry Campbell Bruce, in the parish of Cadoxton-juxta-Neath, on the 19th of Jan., 1885. Mr. Arthur Lewis prosecuted and Mr. Abel Thomas defended. In opening the case Mr. Lewis stated that the Hon. Henry Bruce had in his pheasantry on the day previous to the robbery 54 pheasants. They were all safe upon the evening preceding that of the 19th. Upon the keeper going to the pheasantry the following morning he found the wire surround- ing it was broken, and inside were marks as if dogs had been there, and there were traces indi- cating that pheasants had been killed there. It was then found that 31 pheasants were missing. On the following- day two men named Cook and Thompson were found selling pheasants to a game dealer named Benson at Swansea. These pheasants would be identified by the keeper as some of the stolen property. TharJCtttn Cook and Thompson were arrested, and, with the two present prisoners, were charged before the magistrates on the 28th of January with being concerned in the robbery. Cook and Thompson then pleaded guilty, and were dealt with summarily. Edwards was com- mitted for trial, and Billingham was discharged. The next day. in consequence of a statement made by Cook, a warrant was taken out against Billing- ham, and he was re-arrested. He was again charged before the magistrates on the 30th of January, and on that occasion Cook and Thompson were the witnesses against him, and on their evi- dence he was also committed for trial.—The jury now found both prisoners guilty, but recommended them to mercy, and the Judge sentenced them to six weeks' imprisonment each. The court then rose. NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice STEPHEN and a Special Jury.) THE CARDIFF NUISANCE CASE. GRIFFITH AND CORBETTU BLAKE AND LLEWELLIN. —This was an action to obtain an injunction re- straining the defendants from causing a nuisance to plaintiffs by hammering and other noises. Mr. M'tntyre, Q.C., and Mr. B. F. Williams were for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Bowen Rowlands, Q.C., and Mr. Abel Thomas for the defendant. In opening the case, Mr. M'Intyre explained that the premises were situate in the approach to the Great Western Railway Station, and that they adjoined the offices of the County Court. After the plaintiffs had been in possession for about a year they began to get dis- turbed by the noise of hammering in the yard of the defendants adjoining. A communication was sent to the defendants asking them to call at the office in regard to the matter. One of the defen- dants called in January, 1884, and Mr. Griffith then explained that it was impossible to carry on the business of the firm in consequence of the noise. The defendant did not deny the noise, but said his people intended removing to other premises. The nuisance after that interview, to some ex- tent, abated, but after a bit began again. The defendants, on being again written to, said they had a right to carry on their business, and that they would carry it on as they pleased in spite of anything that might, be objected to by the plaintiffs. In consequence of the great noise and discomfort Messrs. Griffith and Corbett were obliged to bring an action. That went on for some time, with the result that an interim injunc- tion was granted against the defendant. There was an appeal, which was not sus- tained, and afterwards a bill was stuck up on the windows of the defendants stating that in consequence of the proceedings they were going to sell off their stock and premises and re- move elsewhere. Mr. M'lntyre thought there would be no dispute as to the iaw upon the sub- ject. A person had, no doubt, a right to carry on business, but he must ao so so that it should not I become a nuisance to his neighbour. If he did his neighbour had a right of action. He would show that the noise caused by the defen- dants was perfectly intolerable to the plaintiffs, and that in consequence of it they were unable to carry on their business. The defendants re- moved from the premises, and the plaintiffs were not anxious to carry on the action but, inasmuch as for the purpose of restraining the defendants from carrying on the noise they were put to con- siderable expense, they wrote to the defendants in August offering to discontinue the action on payment of costs up to date. Some correspondence passed, and by mutual consent the case was eventually fixed for decision at these assizes. His Lordship: Then the whoi^,question for trial is the question of costs ? Mr. M'lntyre replied that that was so. .His Lordship thought that it might have been settled in Chancery. Mr. Bowen Rowlands: We don't accept the position that we have caused a nuisance. After some further argument it was found impossible to effect an understanding, and the case was proceeded with. Mr. R. W. Griffith, the senior partner in the firm of Messrs. Griffith and Corbett, gave evidence in support of Mr. M'Intyre's statement. In cross- examination by Mr. Bowen Rowlands, he denied that his firm suffered any inconvenience from the passing of trains or the working of the extensive machinery of the Western Mail. The noise he complained of was the hammering of tin. His Lordship asked if the noise was as bad as that which was made near the Assize Court at Swansea. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Griffith: Very much worse. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. B. F. Williams thought they ought to have an injunction restraining that noise at once. His Lordship: We must try either by the power of the court, or by working upon the good nature of people tJ do so. The last time I was there they were repairing a ship, and then there was the noise of the hooters in the harbour. Mr. Corbett gave similar evidence, and in cross- examination by Mr. Bowen Rowlands said that the defendants had now removed to somewhere near the West Dock, away from their offices. Mr. Bowen Rowlands: Did I understand you to say that they had removed to a place where. there are no offices ? His Lordship: You don't mean more than you say, of course, Mr. Rowlands? (Loud laughter.) You said it in such a pathetic tone as if you were speaking of a place we delicately speak of when we say passed away." (Renewed laughter.) Mr. Bowen Rowlands: I did not mean that they had gone where there were no solicitors, my lora. (Loud laughter.) The defendants, Messrs. Blake and Llewellin, gave evidence in defence of the action, and denied that any undue noise was caused. Mr. Blake attributed the discomfort of Mr. Griffith to an unusually powerful barrel cgr.u which used to share the occupation of a piece of waste ground on which the railway company have now erected offices. Mr. Langlev, registrar; and Mr. H. Prickett, deputy-registrar, whose ofiices are in the same block and above those of Messrs. Griffith and Corbett, said the noise was not such as to incon- venience them unless they were absorbed in count- ing figures. Mr. Cross (Cross Brothers), Mr. Southey, engineer, Western Mail, and other witnesses gave evidence to a similar effect, after which the jury were addressed by Mr. Bowen Rowlands, who contended that the inconvenience which was alleged to have been suffered was due to the rail- way and other causes, and not to the defendants' business.—Mr. M'Intyre replied on behalf of the plaintiffs. His Lordship, in summing up, said the simple question for the jury was whether or not the noise made by the defendants was such as to seriously disturb the comfort of the plaintiffs in the use of their offices. Having quoted several decisions on the subject, his lordship said the nuisance, if any, was one of degree. People had to give and take in this world, and it came round to this If people lived in town they could not expect to be as quiet as in the country and, on the other hand, if they lived in a dwelling-house they did not like to have a noisy trade set up underneath them in such a way as to be a nuisance. Whether the nuisance in the present case was serious or slight was a matter for the jury. f The jury, after retiring, returned a verdict for the defendants. His Lordship, therefore, ordered the interim injunction to be dissolved, and gave judgment for the defendants with costs. A COMPLICATED PROPERTY DISPUTE. DINAS STEAM COAL COMPANY V. JOHN. — The claim on behalf of the company in this case was to recover possession of one of a series of cottages on the colliery estate, originally built for the use of the labourers employed on the estate, but now converted into tho White Rock Inn. Mr. Bowen Rowlands, Q.C., and Mr. B. F. Williams (instructed by Messrs. Griffith and Corbett) were for the plaintiffs and Mr. M'lntyre, QC., and Mr. W. Evans (instructed by Messrs. Grover and Grover) for the defendant. The case involved the transference of leases to different parties, and con- siderable legal technicalities as to the construction which ought to be placed upon certain words in an agreement by which the defendant, William Howell John, sub-leased the property. The col- liery and the 200 cottages upon it were leased up to 1881 by Colonel Hunt. In that year the lessee gave a month's notice to quit, and on John asking to be allowed to con- tinue his tenancy on account of the hardness of the caseColonel Hunt consented. In 1881 the property was under-leased by Colonel Hunt to David Thomas. John entered into an agreement with Thomas for the sub-leasing of the cottage on payment of JE250. On the death of Thomas the property fell to Sarah Ann Thomas, his wife. and on the 18th of April, 1884, it was bought from her by the Dinas Coal Company, who gave John a I month's notice to quit. He refused to recognise the notice, on the ground that, although the JE250 he paid Thomas for an interest in the property had been offered by the company, he was en- titled to a year's notice, his agreement with David Thomas not being set aside by the pur- chase of the property from Thomas's widow. The question for decision, therefore, resolved itself into one of the terms of the agreement of tenancy. -His Lordship thought the payment of the £ 250 by John signified that there was some transference of interest, and that he should not so construe the words of the contract as to defeat that intention.- Mr. Bowen Rowlands and Mr. B. F. Williams argued that the words in the agreement of John, the conditions to be inserted in the agreement," must refer to conditions then not determined upon, but which the superior lessee could at his option fill in.—His Lordship thought on the one hand that it was strongly in favour of the defen- dant that some money was paid down; but that, on the other hand, it was equally strongly in favour of the plaintiffs that the agreement con- tained words which, as they stood, could not be regarded as detinitely conclusive. The property was let to John, subject to the present rent being paid, and conditions to be inserted in the agree- ment. What were those conditions ?—Mr. M'lntyre contended that the rent and terms of the tenancy governed those conditions, and as they were not agreed upon, the defendant was entitled, according to previous arrangement, to a year's notice.—After some further argument his Lordship said the question for the jury was to determine what were the terms of the tenancy, and he would then defer the matter for further consideration.-Col. Hunt, Mr. W. Galloway, for- merly agent to Col. Hunt, and other witnesses were called to prove that the tenancy was a monthly one. The evidence and arguments in this adjourned case, in which the plaintiffs sought to recover posses- sion of a house on their estate occupied by the defendant, occupied the whole of the morning. After returning the jury found that the defendant occupied the house on a monthly tenancy, and not a yearly tenancy, as stated by him. A point was reserved for his lordship, however, as to whether or not John's agreement with a former lessee of the pro- perty was binding. His Lordship asked what com- pensation they would award John in case of his deciding that the agreement was binding. The jury replied, JE500.

FOOBALL. CARDIFF V. NEWPORT. This match, which excited a great deal of excite- ment, was ulayed in the Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday afternoon, before a large number of spectators. The ground, although very slippery, was in a much better condition than might have been expected after the recent heavy downfall of rain. The following were the teams:- Cardiff: G. F. Williams, back Hancock, Stewart, and Morgan, three-quarterbacks; Jarman and utcten, half-backs Hill, Young, Lewis, Kedzlie, llybert, Duncan, Bland, Phillips, and Simpson, forwards. Newport: G. Frederick, back; H. M. Jordan, A. J. Gould, and F. Dowdall, three-quarter- backs T. Hardinge and Gratte, half-backs; Clapp, T. B. Jones, R. Gould, C. Jordan, H. M'Daniell, Rriggs, T. Lewis, L. Williams, and M. Williams, for- wards. Cardiff was very lucky in winning the toss, and Newport kicked off against a very strong wind. The ball going out of touch, aud Cardiff getting a free kick the play was taken into the visitors' ground. Stewart then obtained possession, but was collared before he made much progress. Young took the ball still nearer, and out of a loose scrimmage Gould punted back into the centre of the ground. Some pretty passing and rapid play next ensued, and Newport got still nearer and encroached into the home 25. The ball was again driven back a few paces, when Jordan got hold, but was pulled down by Lewis, and the ball was then punted out of touch by Gould. It was, however, remarkably well thrown in, and Young caught it, made a good run to within a few feet of the New- port goal, where he was collared by Dow. dall. Young passed it to Stewart, who dribbled the ball behind the line, but failed to touch it, and Harding ran out, thus saving the touch down. Play was then taken to the centre of the ground, and several good scrimmages ensued without either side gaining much advantage. The ball was then passed to Han- cock, who passed it to Stewart, and the latter giving it into the charge of Morgan, that player brought the ball very close to the visitors' citadel, but was stopped by the Newport back. Gould getting possession, made an excellent run, which averted the threatened danger, and operationswere continued in neutral territory. The ball being kicked outStewartagain showed prominently by makinga good run, but was rolled over by Jordan, and A. Gould sent the oval back. Shortly after Young put on a good dribble, and took the ball over the line, Stewart touching it down. The place kicked failed. One of the home forwards then obtained a free kick, and Newport had to touch down. The ball, after being kicked out, was taken by Lewis, who made a good run, but was well stopped by the backs, and A. Gould again transferred the play to the centre of the ground. Stewart then put on a fine piece of dribbling, sending the ball behind the line, the result being a touch in goal to Cardiff. Consider- ing the strong wind which was blowing in the faces of the visitors, Newport was playing a very good game, the forwards and half backs baffling nearly every effort made by Cardiff to advance, and when time was called the leather was as nearly as possible between the centre flags. Simpson re-started the play. Newport were the first to make any material progress, Cardiff soon having to touch down. Cardiff then gained a try, but it was not, converted into a goal. Nothing else was scored, and Cardiff eventually won by two tries to nil. SWANSEA v. LLANKLLY.—A match between these two fine teams, which excited considerable interest at Swan- sea and Llanelly, and was favoured by a large attendance of spectators, but not by good weather, was played at the Swansea Football Field on Saturday afternoon. The game was so evenly contested throughout as to require but little description, there being, in fact, no decisive points gained on either side. In the first half tim. Swansea played against the wind, which swept with great force across the ground, and formed a great ele- ment to their disadvantage; but they, nevertheless, held their own so well that after some very exciting play the Llanelly men had only made three touches down. ltwai confidently expected that with the change of sides the Swansea men would have had the game all their own way. In the second half, however, it was still as evenly contested as probablv any game which has been played on Swansea ground, and, beyond the Llanelly men touching down twice in self-defence, nothing had to be recorded, the game ending in favour of Llanelly by three touches down to two touches down. The teams employed were as follow :— Stcansea: Back, J. Kosser; three-quarter backs, G. Bowen, E. Bishop, W. Challenger, and A. Mattie half- backs, W, H. Gwyn and W. Jones; forwards. H. 8. Richards, D. Morgan, F. Purdon, W. Williams, G. Williams, W, Meredith, R. Bali, and G. Payne. Llanelly Back, E. J.Powell; three-quarter backs, D. fl. Bowen, J Howel, E. ltoberts, and J. Morgan half-backs. F. L. Margrave (captain) and Li. Williams; forwards, W. Mitchell, J. Carrut hers, J. John. H. Mitchell, 1). Grif- fiths, W. Colliver, W. Pill, and — Williams. LLANELLY SECOND FIITKEX v. SWANSEA. SECOXD FIFTEEN.—A mutch was played between these teams on Saturday at Stradey grounds, and resulted in a victory for the home team by five tries and several touches down to one goal and minor pointa. The weather was very: unfavourable.

MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND LIAILWAY KATES. Our Birmingham correspondent telegraphs:— Mr. Chamberlain received on Monday a deputa- tion from the Birmingham and District Railway and Canal Rates Association. In reply to the statements of the deputation, the right hon. gen- tleman said the only course open t9 traders was to make the strongest representation possible to their members with regard to the Railway Bills, and to be prepared with evidence to lay before the Par- liamentary Committee.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. The Farmer of Monday says :-Farmers are de- livering wheat freely, but it is in poor condition, so only sells at reductions of la. to 2s. Foreign wheat irregularly Is. cheaper. Foreign flour and country flour 6d. to Is. cheaper; maize irregularly lower; malting barley slow; feeding sorts and oats steady in price; beans and peas 6d. cheaper. The day's supply of flour is very heavy; weather pring -like, and allowing navigation.

TKADE REPORTS. RHONDDA STEAM COAL MONTHLY MEETING. THE INDUSTRIAL REMUNERATION CONFERENCE. The monthly meetingof the RltoiidilaSteam Coal Dele- gates was held on Monday at the Windsor Castle Hotel, Ton, when the following collieries were represented:— Khondda Junction, Great. Western, Coedcae, Cynimer, Ynyshir, National, Tylorstown, Mardy, Dinas Pit, Dinas Level, Penrhiwfer, Penygraig, Olydaeh Vale, Llwynpia, Gelli, Ty'nybedw, Abergorky, Lady Marga- ret, Fernliill, Biaenowm. Hute Uld Pit, Wyndham (Ogmore), Deep Duffryn, .Navigation, Hafod, Jtc. Con- siderable discussion took place upon the question of WORKMAN'S EXAMINATION OF COLLIERIES. After a long discussion the following resolution was passed:—" That this meeting recommends for the con- sideration of the collieries generally that the workmen's examiners of the state of the collieries should not pretend to make any examination of machinery, ropes, kc., see- ing that the great majority of us are not qualllied to do so, and that such items should be totally exempted from the workmen's report. Moreover, that the reports of such examiners should be made lirst to the committee, and that a true copy of such report be given to the oJBce." THB SUB INSPECTORSHIP QUESTION. A Great Westeru delegate remarked that, as Mabon" had declined the appointment of sub-inspector of mines offered him by the Home Secretary, it might not be amiss to remind Sir William Harcourt that there were others among the workmen qualified to act as sub-inspectors. "Mabon" considered that it would be very little use moving in that now. No doubt the Home Secretary promised to ap- point eight men from among the working classes, and to some extent that promise would be carried out, but they would probably be men who had been at one time connected wiUiCOlheries, and not workmen as they would use the term. He went 011 to say that the Home Secretary appeared to have decided to appoint two of the eight himself, and he oilered one to him (" Mabon"), and the other to Mr. Wilson, Cumberland, as men hold- ing offices to which they had been appointed by their fellow-workmen; the other six were to p"s examinations precisely similar to those of COlliery managers. It was not likely anybody else would be offered it; but the appointments would be open to candidates who pass examinations. Now, he did not think that was what the workmen meant when they agitated for additional sub-inspectors. (No, no.) They knew there were men among the workmen fully com- petent to discharge the outies as they wanted them to be discharged. The theoretical part was done well enough by the present staff. What they needed was an addition, consisting of practical men from amongst themselves. And he contended that it would have to come to that yet. (Hear, hear.) That was no reason why he refused the offer of the Home Secretary. (Applause.) He did not consider they had attained their object. (Hear, hear.) Another reason why lie refused it was this He was determined that no manlhould ay he had worked with an object—that he had agitated for additional sub- inspectors in order to get one of the appointments him- self. (Hear, hear.) DISTRICT EXECUTIVE. Four members of the district executive retired,and the following collieries were requested by the meeting to appoint members to till the vacancies: Deep Duffryn, Coedcae, Clydach Vale, and Pentre. THE INDUSTRIAL RKMUNKBATION CONMRKNCK.— VIEWS. In giving his report of the recent Industrial Remune- ration Conference, If Mabon" said that amongst the classes represented on the occasion were Indi- vidualists, Fair Traders, IL strong body of Protec- tionists, trades unionists, co-operators, Socialists, and Nationalists. Reviewing the work done and the views enunciated at the conference, he remarked that the Socialists, whose name they were unfortunately accus- tomed to associate with pistol flashes and explosions, appeared to be more numerous in this country than was generally thought. Tllere were among them able men Lhey had a programme, and they at that conference put some very pertinent questions to trades unionists as to the side they would be 011 in the future, whether of the people who opposed progress or on the side of those anxious to benefit their fellow-men. There was a ten- dency among many at the conference to go in for the nationalisation of the land. Now, he did not profess that he was able to solve this problem, but if it could be practically and efficiently carried out, without entirely revolutionising our present system, he thought the working classes had much to look forward to in that direction. Votes of thanks were afterwards accorded to Mabon" for his report of the conference, and for the principle he had shown in the sub-inspectorship ques- tion.

THE COAL AND IRON TRADES OF SOUTH WALES. There is nothing new to report in connection with our steam coal market; a quiet tone continues to prevail. There has been a slight falling off in the clearances as compared with those recently given. An easy feeling still characterises the house coal market; the prospects, however, for the immediate future are viewed by some as being more encouraging. Small coal is plentiful, and, consequently, prices are easy; good qualities can be bought at the moment at 4s. to 4s. 3d. per ton. Arrivals of pitwood have continued to be beavy, the quantity received last week being 6,937 tons. This quantity, in addition to what was already in dock, has affected prices very much, and, whereas 16s. was obtainable at the commencement of the period about which we write, towards the close of the week 15s. 6d. per ton was accepted. There is nothing new to record in the iron ore trade. The coal clearances were as fol- low :—Foreicn, from Cardiff, 122,591 tons, and from Newport, 29,742 tons. SWANSEA EXPORTS AND IMPORTS. -Exports :-Coal: Foreign: France, 10,196 tons; Spain, 270; Italy, 1,290; Portugal, 340; Germany, 400: Africa, 1,533; North America, 600; South America, 840.

Imports: Iron ore, 4,267 tons pig iron, 2.250; tin-plate bat a, 774; copper ore, 3,660; copper pyrites, 1,194; copper regulus, 227 bar sliver, 1; lead ore, 195 arsenic, 97 boiler composition, 10; timber, 160; pitwood, 1,880 pitch, 561; salt, 263 potatoes, 105; flour, 108; barley, 65; onions, 5; reeds, 300 bundles mangolds, 10 tOns swedes, 10. SWANSEA, Saturday Night.—Although the coal clearances of the week do not quite come up to those of the previous week, the recent improvement in our ship- ping trade Is being well maintained, over 30,000 tons having been cleared, and stems well filled for the en- suing week. The arrivals are49 steamers, 18,206 tons; 47 sailers, 10,912 tons; total, 96 vessels, 29,118 register tonnage. The imports are considerably in. excess of the customary quantity, and are represented chiefly by 9,543 tons of mineral ore. and 4,267 tons of pig iron, all for local purposes. Large steam coal of second quality continues in fair demand, but other descriptions are not much inquired after. Frices.althougli weak. are very fairly kept up, except in some few exceptional instances for the purpose of clearing trucks, 4c. Small steam coal is difficult to dispose of, commanding only a very low price. Anthracite, so far as demand is concerned, is revelling under a spurt brought about by the arrival of two sailing vessels of about 2,000 tons each to load for San Francisco. It is satisfactory to find a neWtOUtlet has been found for this valuable fuel. One trial cargo waa sent last season, so it may be aaaumed that a satisfactory result was attaiued. Patent fuel, appa- rently, is not altogether in such good demand, judging from the clearances of the past few weeks. However, on inquiry it is satisfactory to find that this is explainable, and arises from two causes, firstly, the scarcity of suit- able steam tonnage, and, secondly, the delivery on many running contracts having been considerably anticipated. In the chartering department, the operations of the week chiefly consist of a few steamer charters for Norr h French ports:5s. 6d. for Caen and Granville, and 5s. for Havre and Dieppe, with 6s. for Rouen being current rates. The pro- posed increase of railway tolls by the different companies, although being resisted in neighbouring ports, has not yet received any local attention. Our traders surely must be alive to the importance of the question. In the metal department spring prospects are anything but encouraging. Tin-plates are certainly in better request, but as a matter of fact prices have a downward ten- dency. In view of this it is surprising that producers make no vigorous attempt to bring about an improve- ment by reducing the make. About 2,000 tons have been shipped to New York during the week.

COTIN". CARDIFF, Saturday. (From Mr. Wm. Coleman's Report.)-A small attendance on 'Change to-day. owing to the stormy weather. Foreign wheat, best qua- lity, maintained late values, but secondary sorts were from Is to 29 per qr. decline on the week English farmers' samples Is to 2s per qr. lower since the last re- port.. Maltingbarley without buyers even at 28 per qr. decline; grinding sorts 6d per qr. reduction. Maize firm on the spot, but 6d to Is per qr. cheaper to arrive. Oats and beans quiet at late rates. Right Shore Fowls' Mixture in good demand. Fine Scotch oatmeal without alteration in value. Lightning Moss Litter in great demand, and all who have tried it speak highly of it. Iti gives great satisfaction, owing to its being so cheap for horse bedding. the nominal cost being 6d per week each horse, and the manure is far more valuable than that produced from straw. 'LUDLOW, Monday.—There was a large attendance at to-day's market. There were good samples of wheat on offer, but there were only a few buyers present. Prices had a downward tendency. Quotations :—English wheat, per bushel of 761bs., white, 5s 4d to 5s 6d; red, 5s to 5s 3d. barley, 28s to 34s 8d per qr. Beans, 329. Oats, 24s to 26s. Flour, per sack of five bushels of 2801bs., best, 31s 8d seconds, 28s 4d. COWBRIDGE, Tuesday.-Corn trade very slow, farmers having very lit.tle o offer. Prices are unaltered. Wheat sold at 3s 99 to 4s 3d per bushel; barley, 38 6d to 4s; and oats, 2s 4d to 2s 9d. CATTLE. COWBRIDGE, Tuesday.—The market to-day was well supplied with stock. Fat cattle were very slow of sale, arid a little lower in valur-,7d to 7jd being the extreme figures. Cows and calves were very plentiful, but very few sales were effected, JE16 to iC21 being the average prices. Fat sheep were quite a' drug, but the supply was very good. 8d to 8;d per lb. for light weights being the price, and heavy kinds at less money, jfigs were very plentiful, and sold at reduced rates. USK, Monday.—The usual monthly market was held to-day. It was well attended with buyers, but trade was dull throng! iout. There was a good number of fat and store cattle in the market, fat cattle being in good sup- ply. Prices ruled as foUow :—Cows and calves sold at from iC16 to £20; two-year-old cattle, JB10 to JE16 per head; yearlings, £ 5 to £ 8; barreners, in good request, made from £ 10 to £ 14 per head. Beef sold at from 7d to 8d per lb. The sheep trade was very dull, and no sales effected. Mutton sold at from 7td to per lb. rigs were in plentiful supply, and trade appeared brisk, the market being well-attended with buyers. Big strong pigs sold well at from 45s to 50s each four months old pigs, 16s to 24s each; sncklers, lbs each 110 demand for sows and pigs. Pork sold at from 10s to 10s 3d per score; and baconers, 9s l o 9s 6d. NEWPORT, Wednesday. The supply of stock was tohrably good, but the attendance of buyers was not large, and business was slack. A good deal was left unsold. Quotations were as follow :-Beef from 6!d to 7.1 per lb.; mutton, Set to 8!d per lb.; and pigs, 10s to lis per score. CARMARTHEN, Wednesday.—At the monthly cattle market to-day there was a very large supply of cattle, but trade generally was very bad. Store cattle and cows and calvcs were in fair demand at from X12 to £16. Most of them, however, were of very inferior quality. Some of the better beasts were going at about ;£18. A few fat beasts were sold by auction by LVr. J. Francis at or an average of 7!d per lb. The majority of cattle fetched about 6.1d per lb. There was a good de- mand for sheep, but not a large supply. A good many pigs were offered, and realised from 8s to 8s &1 per score. DUBLIN, Thursday.—The supply of stock to-day was small, and though there wasa fair attendance of buyers trade was not appreciably improved in fact, with the exception of finished stock things were quite as bad as last week. Beef, 50s to 57s 6d per cwt.; mutton, 6d to 8id per lb. Pigs, same as quoted. MEAT. LONDON, Thursday.—There was a moderate supply, and trade was steady.
