ERASURE IN THE DEED REMARKABLE SOUTH WALES LAW-SUIT. In the Chancery Division on Saturday the hearing was resumed (before Mr. Justice Warrington) of the action by Mr. Edward Lange, of Swansea, against William Burchell Rees, against whom pxaintiff alleges that after the execu- tion of an agreement for the lease of the ocral under Ynysdawela Farm, Llan- dilo Fawr, Carmarthen, the defendant erased a clause giving the lessee the right to a deduction of 10 per cent. on royalties, after payment of deed rent on ooal raised, whether used-or not. The defendant declares that ho refused to allow the clause, and that the alteration was made by Mr. Powell, plain- tiff's solicitor, before the execution of the document. Mr. Rowden, K.C., and Mr. Hart appeared for the plaintiff, a.nd Mr. Hawtin for the defendant. Mr. Clowes, the solicitor in London for the debenture-holders, said that the complete agreement was transferred to the Lange Anthracite Company in 1901. His firm had it in their possession for some time previously. The only alteration he made in. the document was to fill in the date in October at the time ho sent it away, and he put a pencil mark round the alteration to show he had done so. The debenture-holders bad now sold the property for lees than the amount of the debentures. Evan Williams, farmer, said he remem- bered discussing the agreement in August, 1931. Witness eaw Mr. Gully about letting his own land. There was to be a sale of the Lange Colliery. Witness saw Mr. Lange before the saTe on witness's ground, and Lange asked whether he oould have his land on the same terms as he bad from Rees, and he said if witness would oome to Rees's house ibe could see the agreement in the evening. After the sale witness went to Rees's house. where he found Mr. Lange, Mr. Eees, and two or three members of the Rees family, but Charles Henry Swash was not there. Witness, in further reply, said that Lange went into the kitchen and brought the document to witness. The Judre: Lange did?—Yes. Have you seen him since?—Yes, this morn- ing; but I have not had any conversation with him. When had you last a conversation with him?—The day before yesterday. Mr. Rowden severely cross-examined the witness as to what took place at Rees's house when he went to see the agreement. Witness contradicted himself- on several points, saying first that Lange fetched the document from the kitchen, then he said that Rees fetched it and gave it to Lange, and Lange handed it to him. He denied having talked over the case with Rees, but admitted that they came to London by the same train, and that he and the rest of Roos's party were all lodging in the same house in London, and that they bad some of their meals together. They had supper together the previous night, but did not talk the case over. The Judge (smiling): What? You supped together and did not talk about the case?— Well, only a little The hearing was adjourned until Monday, when Florence Margaret Rees, daughter of the defendant, eighteen years of age, said that in regard to the agreement she made a copy of it in 1901, when she was thirteen years of age, and at that time the words "of 10 per cent, were struck out, as they now were. In cross-examination by Mr. Bowden, K.C., witness said she had lived with her father all her life. She did not make an affidavit on the motion in this case. She remembered her father making an affidavit on the 27th of April of this year. She did not know that she helped to prepare it. She wrote it out for him. Reminded that it did not mention that witness had made a copy of the agree- ment, witness did not know why defendant omitted that. Counsel asked her about her law library, but witness said she had not a library. She had some law books—more than forty, but short of a hundred. Asked why the affidavit referred to said nothing about the copy she made of the agreement or of the meeting in August, 1901, at defendant's house, witness said she did not think that was needed or sufficiently important. Witness denied that she had any conversation with her father about what passed at the August meeting, but sometimes the matter had been recalled that Mr. Lange on that occasion had the agreement in his hands. Witness admitted that a number of papers (produced) were in her handwriting. She had prepared a mort- gage from her brother to her father. In giving judgment Mr. Justice Warrington came to the conclusion that the plaintiff was right in regard to the agreement, and that the agreement contained the words "of 10 per cent." at the time it was signed. The words had been erased after execution, I therefore the clause must now stand, an allowance of 10 per cent, to be made for engine or other coal. As regarded, the alleged interview in August, 1901. his lord- ship said that the evipence for the defence was not reliable, and that the interview did not take place as stated.

THE PILGRIMS' CHURCH. ANNIVERSARY SERVICE IN THE RUINS. One of the most romantic and most treasured places of antiquity in Carmar- thenshire in the old Parish Church at Llau- fihangel-Abercowin, in the precincts of whose ruins the twenty-fifth annual memorial service was held on Sunday. The service, as usual, was of a bilingual character, and was conducted by the Rev. W. Da vies, the vicar. There was a striking appropriateness in the English sermon preached by the Rev. Canon Camber Williams, M.A., who took his text from Exodnaxii., 26, "What mean ye by this service." He said that they were visiting an ancient and consecrated spot. hallowed by centuries of devotion. Then, as now, the Church of Wales was a Scriptural Church. When the first primitive building was erected, and when praises were given in the present ruins, the Church of Wales was ruled and served by the same three Orders, bishops, priests, and deacons. They year by year assembled in that spot to unfurl the standard of Christian unity. Their gathering in those ruins took them back to the days when there were none of the fissures, none of the rents and divisions among the followers of Christ, but when their fore- fathers gathered within the walls as one undivided family of God. Could they at that moment but connect themselves by telephone with the atheist gatherings in Hyde Park or elsewhere they would find that the burden of their argument against the divinity of the Saviour, and even the existence of God, was the division among Christians. Further, they gathered there in that church for hope and encouragement. They felt that dark days were upon them. History was the anti- dote of panic, and as the writer of the Epistle stayed the panic of the Hebrew Christians by unfolding the great roll of the national heroes, their doings and their sufferings, 30 their gathering in that old church trans- ported them far back, even to the dawn of Christian history, and reminded them of the storms and the trials through which the Church had gone in the past, and gave them courage and hope. The Rev. J. Evans Jones, B.A., vicar of Llangan, delivered an impressive sermon in Welsh upon the text, "Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit." With their usaaJ generosity Mr. and Mrs. Richards, Treventy Farm, provided tea. for the visitors, as also did the vicar at the schoolroom.

ASSAULT BY A BLIND MAN At Aberavon Police-court on Monday a blind mail, named David John Shepherd, and his son, Samuel Shepherd, Cymmerr, were summoned for am. alleged assault upon William Smith, Forbes-street, Cymmer. Mr. L. M. Thomas stated that on the night in question plaintiff went to defendant's house in consequence of certain statements his wife made. Plaintiff called David John Shepherd out tq ask him why he had knocked Mrs. Smith. Defendant came out and immediately jumped on plaintiff, say- ing, I'll kill you, you Smith was thrown to the ground, with the blind man on top. The other defendant then came out and plaintiff was struck and kicked. Samuel Shepherd hurled a stone a,t. plaintiff, and struck him on the side of the head. William Smith .Brinley Hughes, and Eliza- beth Hughes corroborated. Mr. Hunter, for the defence, alleged that plaintiff was the aggressor. David John Shepherd, who said he had been blind two years, stated that plaintiff came to his house and called him out, say- ing he would stop his parish pay." They had a scuffle on the floor, and several blows were exchanged. Samuel Shepherd and Thomas Hughes corroborated. David John Shepherd was fined 20s. and costs, and Samuel Shepherd 103. and costs.

ROUTE TO IRELAND I SERVICE FROM FISHGUARD TO ROSSLARE. The formal opening of the Roeslare Harbour, the Irish port to which the new service from Fishguard will run, and the new railway connecting Eosslare with Water. ford and Southern Ireland was performed on Saturday by the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland. The function took place on the Roeplare Pier, where part of the station had been converted into a tem- porary hall, gaily decorated for the occasion, like the vessels in the harbour, with flags and bunting. The Viceregal train, in which was the Royal coach, arrived from Dublin shortly after one o'clock, and as it passed on the bridge approaching the pier twenty-one fog- signals were discharged. The tradn brought a large number of noblemen, distinguished persons, and others, the party numbering between 300 and 400, who were enterta-ined to luncheon by the Great Southern and Western Railway Company of Ireland, the partners of the Great Western Railway Company in the new venture which is being carried on under the style of the Fishguard and Rosslare Railways and Harbour Company. On the platform awaiting the arrival of the train were a number of distinguished gentle- men, including directors and officials of the Great Western Company, who had crossed from Fishguard in the morning in the steam- ship Pembroke, and a detachment of the Royal Irish Constabulary. The chairman was Sir William Goulding, and on his right at the luncheon was Lord Aberdeen, and the others present included Lords Anson and Herschel (aides-de-camp), the Marquess of Water- ford, Lord Barrymore. Colonel the Hon. C. E. Edgcumbe, Mr. Albert Brassey, and Mr. David Maclver (directors of the Great Wes- tern Railway), Messrs. R. p. S. Colvill and George Jameson (directors of the Fishguard and Rosslare Railway), directors of the Great Southern and Western Railway, Mr. C. Dent (manager) and officials of that line, Mr. J. C. 1- Inglis (manager) and other officials of the Great Western Company, and others. ADVANTAGES OF THE NEW SERVICE. The Chairman, after the loyal toast had been duly honoured, proposed "The Lord- Lieute-nant and Prosperity to Ireland," I expressing deep gratitude to the Earl of Aberdeen for having taken such a long jour- ney to declare open the new harbour and line, which he trusted would do much to develop the South and West of Ireland by linking it so closely with South Wales and providing a shorter route to England. (Applause.) He hoped the new service would develop agriculture by providing a short and easy connection to enable Irish produce of all kinds to be sent into the Welsh and Eng- lish markets, while the facilities should bring thousands of people to view the beau. tiful soenery of the South and West of Ire- land. (Hear, hear.) In referring to the skill and energy of the engineers and contractors, be paid that the new bridge over the River Barrow, 2.200ft. in length, with a swing span, was the third longest bridge in the kingdom, and the whole route was an ideal one to the beauty spots of Kiillarney. He paid a high tribute to what Lord Aberdeen and Lady Aberdeen had done for Ireland, especially by fostering home industries and self-help. (Applause.) He was glad to see that a Royal Commission was to be appointed to inquire into the working of the Irish railways, and his company would give every information and help to the inquiry. He regretted that ¡ the Irish lines had to contend with the dis- advantage of an ever-decreasing population. and hoped that the new service would do much to remove this. (Hear, hear.) DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL PROSPERITY. Lord Aberdeen, who was enthusiastically received, having returned thanks for the reception given him, referred to the great undertaking he was about to declare open, congratulating the oompanies interested upon the successful accomplishment of their noble undertaking, and also paying a. high tribute to the engineers and contractors. (Applause.) Ho spoke of the advantages of the new service to the South of Ireland and ■ to South Wales, and referred in hopeful terms to the development of local prosperity by the new outlet for agricultural' products, fruit, flowers, vegetables, &c., the cultivation of which he hoped to see extended. (Hear, hear.) The success of the new route he I regarded as not being dependent upon the diversion of existing traffic, but upon the development of new. (Hear, hear.) He thought, also, that it would enable the Irish fisheries to benefit by the sending of fish as well as other products to the populous districts of South Wales. He understood the Great Western Company were prepared to do all they oould to develop the traffic by giving through rates. (Hear, hear.) Having dwelt upon the encouragement of tourist traffic, he said that he was informed the Great Western Railway alone had carried 900,000 tourists last year. Lord Aberdeen having formally declared the new harbour and railway open, The Marquess of Waterford proposed "Success to the Fishguard and Rosslare Route," saying that he felt sure that the enterprise would be beneficial both to Ireland and to the respective companies. (Hear, hear.) SHORTER SEA ROUTE. Lord Barrymore, director of the Great Western and the Fishguard and Rosslare Railways, in returning Mbanks on behalf of the joint railway, referred to the advan- tage of the shorter sea route, and said he felt sure the new service would bÇl most beneficial to the two companies and to the people. (Applause.) He referred also to the fact that Rosslare would be a harbour of refuge in bad weather. After mentioning the Commission on Irish Railways he said he hoped that the great public departments would not forget tha.t the undertaking was in the public interest, end do all in their power to help to make it all that it should be. (Hear, hear.) Lord Aberdeen and party, after inspecting the works returned by the special train. The new route, it is expected, will be started about the middle of August, when the formal opening of the Fishguard Harbour and the new line from Letterston to Clar- beston Road fill probably take place. FROM NEW MILFORD TO FISHGUARD. All the Great Western Irish services will be transferred from New Milford to Fish- guard. There will be, in addition to the day and night services to Rosslare by the tur- bine steamers, a. daily service to Waterford and a. service thrice weekly to Cork.

MISSING SINCE 1886. QUEST FOR A LOCAL SOLICITOR'S CLERK In the Probate Division on Monday Mr. Walter Frampton applied to Mr. Justice Bar- grave Deane for leave to presume the death of Richard Evans. Counsel said that Richard Evans, who was then residing with his father, Daniel Evans, at Cefn Park, otherwise Ponty- parc, Llantrisant, Glamorgan, a-nd a solicitor's clerk, employed at Cardiff, left his home in June, 1886, and went away, without telling his parents or his brothers or sisters (of whom there were in all fifteen) where he was going. He was on perfectly good terms with the members of his family. Three days afterwards his father (since deceased) received a letter from his son at Liverpool, to the effect that he would write again in a few days, but no such letter was ever received. His father heard from Robert Lloyd Jones, a schoolmaster, of Miskin, near Llantrisant, three weeks afterwards that Richard Evans had written to him from an address in London asking for a testimonial, which Mr. Jones sent. His father wrote to the London address and sent a friend of his there, but the people stated that they knew nothing of any man of that name; and, although, until his death, in 1891, the father made inquiries in all directions, he was unable to obtain any information. Richard Evans, who was believed to be dead, was not insured. Under the will of John Morgan, which was proved on the 13th of October, 1888, Richard Evans took a vested interest as one of the children of Gwcrnllian Evans, who died on the 15th of November, 1896. It h/Ias estimated that the share of Richard Evans would not amount to more Hhan XM. Counsel, in conclusion, applied for liberty to swear that Richard Evams died in or since the month of June, 18%, and thaa the grant might issue to his brother. His Lordship: Has Richard Evans been advertised for? Mr. Frampton said he had not. The diffi- onlty was where to advertise. Mr. Justice Bargrave Deane: The young man may be alive. One never can tell why a person has behaved in this way. He may be anxious to conceal his whereaibouta. He must be advertised for, and I will refer the matter to the Registrar.

AN UNPLEASANT REMINDER At Ystrad Police-court on Monday the stipendiary had a case before him in which William Davies, timberman, GeUi. was charged with unlawfully wounding Wnliam Jones, a man who lodged with him. Complainant's story was that on Saturday night he was in the kitchen when he reminded defendant of an unpleasant inci- dent between his (complainant's) wife and, defendant's brother-in-law. This aroused defendant's ire, and he got up and ex-1 olaimed, "I will kill you, you knocked oompla,inant down, and kicked him on the head, repeating his threat that he would kill him. The latter bled profusely from the wound on his head, and had to be taken to a surgery. Complainant added that he did not wish to press the charge as both he and defendant were drunk, or the affair would not have happened. Police-sergeant Baker said that when he was called on the scene complainant's face was covered, and his shirt saturated with blood. Complainant had a scalp wound about 2Jin. long. penetrating to the bone, and the doctor in dressing the wound had to put in six stitches. Defendant admitted that both he and com- plainant were drunk, but denied having kicked the latter, explaining that the wound had been received by falling against a. door. The Stipendiary commented upon the seriousness of the offence. He was not, how- ever, quite satisfied that the wound had been inflicted by defendant kicking Jones, and the charge would, therefore, be reduced to common assault. "You have rather a nasty temper when in drink," added the Stipen- diary, "and I should advise you to give it up, or else it will bring you into trouble." A fine of 40s. was imposed.

IMEW'S CHANNEL SWIM.

I MEW'S CHANNEL SWIM. A PLUCKY EFFORT BEATEN BY COLD. The phioky experiment by Horace Mew, the Shanklin amateur, of attempting to swim across the Channel on the strong spring tides led to an exceedingly interesting and, in some respects, phenomenal swim of twenty miles cn Tuesday. Mew's start was made from Dover Beach, near where Webb started his successful swim, between the Admiralty Pier and Sihakspeore Cliff, at 2.26 in the morning. The temperature of the sea taken on start- ing was 59, but this fell to 57 further out, and then to 56, whilst at times as low as 63 was recorded by the thermometer. Mew's progress was very fine from the commencement. Although he was not in any way overstraining his powers he was receiv- ing excellent help from a very useful flood tide, which was quite fulfilling the pilot's predictions. After daylight had broken the Dover predictions. After daylight had broken the Dover swimmers commenced to accompany Mew in I HOBAGE MEW. the water, but, althongh they are seasoned I swimmers, they were unable to remain in the water for more than a quarter to half an hour, and came aboard the tug blue with cold and shivering all over. At half-past five Pilot M'Keen advised Mew to sprint for about half an hour in order to make the moat of the slack tide and get as far south as possible before the ebb tide came through strongly. Striking 35 to the minute, Mew went away in grand style. At the end of the half-hour the bearings showed everything very satisfactory, Mew being then eight and a half miles out from Dover. Mew's position at the end of the sixth hour was south-east of the Varne Buoy. He was ion some nasty broken water, knowix to seamen as ripple," along the edge of the. Varne Sands. It was a stiff fight through this foot by foot. It was in this water that the lowest temperatures were recorded, the thermometer going down to between 53 and 53 degrees, and Mew shivered severely and complained of the icy coldness of the water. From 9.30 to 10 o'clock it was painfully apparent that the swimmer was badly chilled, and at times he was shivering all over. As a last resort, Dr. Watson decided to give him a glass of champagne. This stimulated Mew for a time, and on Bnrgess's advice he was given another when he again looked like collapsing. In spite of every- thing, however, Mew's condition became worse, and it was not surprising, after & consultation, to hear Dr. Watson regret- fully declare that the swim was off. Mew protested, but as there was risk of the swimmer suddenly sinking iu his half-frozen condition he was not allowed to continue. Closely attended by Weidman he swam to the tag, and touched I the ladder at half-past ten, thus finishing a swim of eight hours a.nd four irluute4 dura- tion*

ST. DAVID'S DIOCESE. CHURCHMEN AND THE REVIVAL: SUNDAY SCHOOL REFORM, The Rev. Canon Camber Williams, M.A., the St. David's Dioceean missioner, in his report upon the work accomplished in the churches of the diocese, states that last year was rendered memorable in the religious history of Wales owing to the revival. The fact that the chief instrument should have been a lay member of a Nonconformist body might require adjustment with the Church's doctrine respecting ministerial orders. They recollected, however, that it was in Israel, not in Jerusalem, that God had chosen to place His name, and there that the prophet first appeared. Welsh Churchmen judged the revival 1by its effects. There was not within his knowledge one parish in the districts reached by the revival where special ser- vices were not provided. The efforts of the diocesan mission were mainly directed towards consolidating and giving a practi- cal character to the effects of the revival. A request for the assistance of missioners from England met with a generous response. The balance-sheet shows tie receipts for the year (including a balance of L35 2s. 9d. brought forward from last year) to be JE621 8s. 5d. After payment of expenses a. balance remained in favour of the board of JE24 lis. 3d. on current account and of L218 186. 6d. on the deposit account. The temperance report shows that the attendance has been, on the whole, satisfac- tory, and the membership roll has increased all round, especially in the archdeaconries of Carmarthen and Brecon. The increase in the number of branches is fifteen, and the increase in membership 1,776. The work for the year was chiefly marked by the large increase in the membership of the juvenile branches, which aimounted to 1,371. The work of Sunday school organisation has during the year made good progress. In almost all the rural deaneries, and in a very large number of parishes, the work has been taken up with enthusiasm, and the convic- tiion is steadily growing that the time has come when the Sunday school to be efficient must re-adjust its methods so as to meet the changed requirements of the times. The result is a. revival of interest and a readiness to adopt new methods—auguries full of hope far the fmtuie.

CRUMLIN LEVEL CROSSING. QUESTION ASKED BY COL HERBERT IN THE COMMONS. In the House of Commons on Mondky, Colonel HERBERT (R., Monmouthshire, S.) asked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention had been drawn to the danger and inconvenience occasioned to the public by the retention of a level-crossing over the Great Western Railway at Crumlin (Mon.), and whether he would take steps to compel the company to substitute some other means of crossing. MT. LLOYD-GDORGE, in reply, said com- plaint had been made to the Board of Trade of delay to road traflic at the level-crossing in question, and the board communioatea with the Great Western Railway thereon. He was now informed by the company that they were investigating the matter; also, that the provision of a road bridge in lieu of the \cros8ing had been under considera- tion for some time past, and that negotia- tions with the Monmouthshire County Council were in progress. The Board of Trade appeared to have no powers which would enable them to require the company to substitute a bridge or subway for the crossing.
