OUR LAWYER. Conducted by a Barrister-at-Law. Legal questions must be stated fully and deafly, and a full copy must be sent of any document on which advice is sought. All communications must be endorsed LEGAL," per Editor, WEEKLY MAIL," Cardiff. COL'NTY COURT. Primrose" (Griffithslown) may get a summons on applying at the office of the registrar of the county-court. He will have to furnish the registrar with the full names, addresses, and occupa- tions of himself and the defendant. If the debt exceeds R2 he will be required to furnish two copies of his bill. When the summons is taken out he will have, to pay a fee of Is. for each £ or fraction of £ of the amount claimed, and if the claim is above iC2 he will have to pay Is. additional. He will be furnished with a document called a plaint note, which will tell him the number of his case and the date and place fixed for thftritt). He must take care of this, because he will have to produce it every time he attends court or makes any inquiries at the registrar's office, and no money will be paid to him without its production. He will have to pay at the trial a hearing fee of 2s. for each £ or fraction of £ of his claim, unless the defendant pays the money into court before then, or appears and consents to judgment. Upon a judgment by consent only half the usual hearing fee is charged. If the debtor resides in the district of another court, our correspondent will have to gettleave of the registrar before the summons can be issued. He can at any time get all the information he requires from the clerks at the registrar's office. LANDLORD AND TENANT.—" W. 1-1." (Pontypridd) is advised that a notice to quit may be served through the post, or in any other manner, so long as it reaches the hands of the tenant before twelve o'clock on the night of the rent day. It is altogether a delusion to imagine that bscause a notice to quit is served after twelve o'clock at noon on the rent day it is of no good there is not the slightest foundation in law for such a belief. The notice served upon him was per- fectly good, and he must obey it, or, no doubt, eject- ment proceedings will be taken. A notice from the agent is quite sufficient. Onr correspondent's rent cannot be raised without his consent, but he may be turned out of the premises if the landlord takes legal proceedings to get him out. He will not have any legal claim upon his landlord for any loss of trade he may sustain by reason of having to remove. NOTICE TO QUIT. T. J." (Mumbles) is advised that the notice to quit may be served any time between now and Christmas Day: there is no need to serve it upon the exact day from which it is intended "jto run. In this case the notice will be a notice to quit on the 25th March next (being a quarter's notice from Christmas). We never advise service by post, because it is so difficult to prove the delivery of the letter to the tenant if he denies having received it. It is much better to give the notice to the tenant, or leave it upon the premises with some person old enough to understand what it is, who must be told to give it to the tenant. A copy of the notice should be kept, and the person serving it should write upon it a memorandum of the date, hour, and place of service, and the name of the person to whom the notice was given. MASTER AND SERVANT.—"Anxious Inquirer" (Newport) is advised that his master is not entitled too deduct from his wages the amount which the master paid towards the 'expense of removing his furniture and family when he took the situation. An 2iction may be brought-in the county-court to recover the amount so deducted. COPY WILL, Walter" (Fthondda) can obtain a copy of the will from the Registrar of Wills, Somerset House, London. The cost of searching for it will depend upon how many years the search extends over. If he can give the exact year the search fee will only be one shilling. The cost of the copy will depend entirely on its length.. If he pays for the search he can get to know how much the copy will cost before ordering it. Messrs. Cox and Son, law stationere, 102, Clianceiy-lane, London, will make the search and ascertain the cost of copy for a small fee. DEBTS OF WIFE INCURRED BEFORE MARRIAGE.—" Per- plexed (Cardiff) is not liable for the debt incurred by his wife before he married her. He must take his summons to a solicitor and defend the action. The plaintiffs have not a shadow of a chance of succeeding. The action cannot succeed against his wife unless the plaintiffs can prove she had money or goods of her own at the time she incurred the debt. If the plain- tiffs get judgment against the wife they will be entitled to issue execution against any goods which belong to her if the money is not paid when due. There would probably be no difficulty in getting the judge to make an order for payment by sit-,all instal- ments if judgment was given against her. INTESTACY.—" Constant Reader" (Pontypridd) is advised that if her husband dies without making a will, as there are no children, she will bs entitled to all pro- perty he leaves behind him if the value of it does not exceed j6500 after payment of his debts, funeral ex- penses, and the cost of letters of administration. If the value exceeds 40500 then she will be entitled to iC500 with interest at the rate of dE4 per oent. per nnnum from the date of his death until payment, and to half the value of the residue of the personal tate, and one-third of the rents of the real estate. All these questions may be avoided by his making a will in her favour. If he draws one up and sends it to us we sball be glad to look it through, and make any corrections which may be necessary. BREACH OF PROMISE.—"T. J. J." (Merthyr Tydfil) writes us a letter which is not quite intelligible. It. is always much better when seeking advice to state the exact facts, and not put supposititious cases to us. Any person who makes a promise of marriage when above the age of 21 years. and afterwards breaks that promise, may be sued for damages for the breach. The action must be brought within six years alter the breach of the promise. TRUSTEES OF CHAPELS.—" D. J." (Newport) is in- formed that we do not know what Act of Parliament he refers to. Acts of Parliament are sold very cheap by Messrs. Eyre and Spottiswoode, Queen's printers, London, to whom he had better apply. CLAIM AGAINST RAILWAY COMPANY. — Action (Bwansea) is advised that the action shouldJie brought by the person who paid the carriage of the goods. CLAIM AGAINST DEBTOR IN AMERICA.-r" Inquirer" (Llandrindod Wells) is advised that if his debt exceeds X20, he may issue a writ against his debtor, and get leave from one of the judges of the Queen's Bench Division to serve it by post. If the action was un- defended, he would get judgment in due course, but could only enforce it against any goods the man has in Bngland, but not in America. If his debt is under B20 he will be forced to sue in America, as the county- court cannot give leave to serve a summons on a person abroad. If the man has no property In England upon which execution can be levied, it will be better to sue him in America, no matter what the amount is. If our correspondent will say in what part of America the debtor is we will give him the name of some American solicitor in the neighbour- hood. DISPUTE AS TO RENT. Constatit Reader (Pontar- dawe), who was tenant of a house claimed by two people, and who, with their consenf, paid the rent into the bank to await the decision of their disputes, wishes to know who is entitled to the interest. Whoever is entitled to the rent is entitled to the inte- rest. PROTECTING INVENTION.—" D. T. 0." is informed that the best method of protecting an invention is to apply to the Patent Office for provisional protection. The cost of this Is 21. The necessary stamped form can be bought at the General Fost-offiee, Cardiff. This protects the invention for nine months, and gives the inventor time to ascertain whether it is of sufficient value to make it worth his while to complete the patent. If he decides not to- proceed with the patent he is at no further expense. If he wishes to proceed with his patent he must fi!e a complete specification before the expiration of the nine months, and he will then have to pay a fee of 403. He will then be pro- tected for four years, and if he then wishes further protection he will have to pay a fee of 1:50, which will make him secure for four years longer. At the end of the eighth year he will have to pay a fee of £100, if he wishes to continue his patent. The fees of .£50 and 2100 may be paid by annual instalments, if desired. NNKEEPER AND TRAVELLERS.—"Nemo (Fishguard) is advised that if he commenced an action against the innkeeper for refusing him a bed and having him turned out by the police, he would be almost certain to lose it. In the absence of independent witnesses in support of bis statement, no doubt the story of the innkeeper would be believed by the court. We cer- tainly cannot advise him to sue. SOAP-BOILING.—•' J. W. L." (Cardiff) is advised that the Public Health Act provides that no person may com- mence the business of a soap-boiler within the district of an urban sanitary authority without first having obtained their consent in writing. If after obtaining this consent the business is commenced, and is carried on in such a manner as to be a nuisance, tIle offender may be prosecuted, notwithstanding the consent. He had better apply for the consent and give full parti- culars concerning the premises in which he wishes to carry on his business. HUSBAND ANI) WITE. "J. M. A. who has been married more than 40 years, and whose wife has recently re- fused to sleep with him on account of the coldness of his feet, is advised that he has no legal remedy. He had better try persuasion, and have a hot-water bottle to pat his feet on. FALSE PRKTENCES.—" D. 0. M." (Rhymney) cannot recover the goods obtained from him under false pre- tences, but he may prosecute the person who so obtained them. If he enters upon a prosecution, he will probably be put to a lot of trouble and lose a lot of time, for which he will be very poorly renume- rated. Our aivice is to take no criminal proceedings, but to sue in the county-court without loss of time. GUN LICENCE.—" Gladstone (Ogmore Vale) is advised that any person who takes out a licence to kill game may carry a gun without taking out a gun licence during the time his game licence is in force. FINDER OF LOST ARTICLE. B. L. D." (Ystalyfera) is advised that whoever finds a lost article is entitled to the possession of it against all persons except the real owner. A passenger who finds a lost arude in a rail- way carriage need not give it up to the company's servants but in order to facilitate its recovery by the owner he ought to give information to the station- master. When the real owner is discovered the finder must give up the article he found, or he will be liable to an action for damages for conversion, and possibly to a prosecution. „ rp „ LANDLADY AND LODGER.— (Cardiff) is quite right in supposing that it sne lets unfurnished rooms in her house the goods which her lodger may put Into them may be_ seized under an execution if any creditor of his obtains judgment against him, or may betaken by the Official Receiver if he is made bank- rupt. In either of these events the bailiffs would have to visit the house. BREACH OF COVENANTS OP TAASi.-Il Perplexed" (Ammanford) is advised that if the person who holds the property on lease and who sub-let to him exer- cises his power of re-entry, he may be compelled to go out again upon payment of the arrears of rent and costs. If these are not paid and lie is compelled to sell, he may retain possession and re-let without any notice: It our correspondent pays the rent and Expenses to eave.hjs goods, and the baili retire tod leave him in possession, he will not be entitled te:treat the lease as broken. It is only his lessor who can do that; no man is entitled to take advantage of his own breach of covenant. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.—"Constant Subscriber" (Cardiff) is advised that the promissory note made in June, 1883, payable upon demand, and in respect of which no payment has been made either on account of princit at or jnterest, became barred by the Statute of Limitations in June, 1889. The right to sue upon a note payable on demand becomes barred at the expi- ration of six years from its date. or from the last pay- ment of principal or interest, or the last written acknowledgment. In the case of a note payable a certain time after demand in writing, the statute does not commence to run until after the expiration of the written notice.

BABY'S DEATH. Hushed is the house, for angels fill the air And hover round a tiny curtained bed; With love they camp, to take unto their care A baby soul when Angel Death bath Bed. Soon eyes are filled, and faces pale and worn, And footstepa hushed, and voices soft and low; For Death bath gone; the eoul from casket. borne By angels sweet as back to Him they go. In dark'ned room the mother sits and weepe, And softly moans with aciiiiig, dull despair; Beside the cot a vigil long bhe keeps, And prays that she her baby's sleep might share. The hours speed; with heart worn out with pain The watcher sleeps; a look spreads o'er her face- A look of joy: she sees her b ibe again In dreamland smile-God help her when she wakes! London. FRED. E. MANNING.

dttttb {toetrp. My Sweetheart. Whenever I pliy on the old guitar The songs that my sweetheart taught me, My thoughts go back to the summer time When first in her toils she caught me; And once again 1 can hear the sound Of her gleeful voice blown over The meadow, sweet with the scent of thyme, And pink with the bloom of clover. The faded ribbon is hanging still Where her dimpled fingers tied it- I used to envy it stealing round Her neck, for she did not chide it; And the inlaid pearl that her ringlets touched, As she leaned above it lightly, Glows even now with a tint of gold J That it once i • fleeted brightly. Whether her eyes were blue as the skies On a noon-day in September, Or brown like those of a startled fawn, I can't for the world remember; But when she lifted them up to mine I know that my young heart tingled In time to the tender tune she sang, And the airy chords she jingled. Yet now, though I sweep the dusty strings By her girlish spirit haunted, Till out of the old guitar there trips A melody, blithe, enchanted. My pulses keep on their even way And my heart has ceased its dancing, For somebody else sits under the spell Of the songs and sidelong glancing. M. E. WABDWELL, in the Century. Cobbler Caspar. Master Caspar," said the drover, as I pass along the way With my drove of sheep or cattle, late or early in the day, I perceive you're always mrrry; tell tha reason now, I pray." Cobbler Caspar raited his hammer, let it fall with clang and cling; Drover," said he, look around you; is it not already spring? See, the bloom is in the branches, and the swallow's on tha wing. As I sit here in my window I can hear the birds and bees Singing gaily, humming gaily, there amongst my apple trees; What an ass I should be, truly, if I were not gay as these! II Spring's a merry season, neighbour; season 'tis of life and love, Every breathing thing's a-niating, whether it be man or dove; Laughter's in the fields around us, in the clear blue sky above. "But if it be spring or winter, still I'm always glad and gay Life's a ballad, life's a poem, whether it be gold or gray; Let us then be happy in it-wa shall serve God best that way." Went the drover on the -highroad pondering o'er these words so wise, Cobbler Caspar watched him going, with a twinkle in his eyes, Then he joined another carol to the chorus in the skies. J. S. FLETCHER, in Home Chimes.

llumQi'img 4JOttrJ!. My Lady's Locks. My lady hath eyes of deepest blue; In her cheeks are roses rare: Her teeth are pearls. On her queenly bead Is a crown of golden hair. My lady hath foep, an envious lot, On malice ever intent. They say (foul slander !) that beauteous coil Was never by heaven sent. Then my lady laughs, and her melody drives My wits on a wild, wild waltz; But I'll never doubt, for my lady is truth, And she tells me herself ,ris false." The Policeman's Tear. A COMPANION TEAR TO THE SOLDIER'S. fTo be sung to the same melody.] At the corner house he paused To take one last fond look At stately number ninety-nine, Where he used to know the cook. He thought upon her pastry And on her master's beer: The policeman fetched a hand-cuff out And wiped away a tear. Upon those area steps A soldier stood at ease, And words of love and smells of pie Came floating on the breeze. He saw him kias the band Of her lie held so dear: The policeman sought his dirty gloves And wiped away a tear. He leaned against a wall To muse upon his woes, And thus he rubbed some whitewash off Upon his pleeceman's clotheti; Which, when the street boys saw, They did so laugh and jeer That turning down another street, He fetched another tear. He turned and loft that spot, v n°un0 £ deem ,)im weak! TJP' 80 inside, •though wet was on his cheek. Go search the quietest beat, Where there is naught to fear, > And there you will most likely meet Our friend who shed the tear. -The Fiqavo.
