"•REAL OR SHAM ?" ——4 JUDGE'S STRICTURES IN ABERSYCHAN CASE. Before Mr. Justice Bigham and Mr. Justice Sutton on Tuesday, the hearing was con- tinued of the appeal in re Joseph Myers ex parte Abel Myers v. John Baker, trustee, from the Wandsworth County-court The appellant, Mr. Abel Myers, carries on business as an outfitter and pawnbroker at Abersychan, and his appeal was against a confirmation by the deputy county-court judge sitting at Wandsworth. of a rejection by the trustee of appellant's proof on the estate of his brother, Joseph Myers, for a The case arose out of the purchase from his brother by Abel Myers, of a business at Clapham. Mr. Powell, K.C., and Mr. A. J. jJavid -were for the appellant, and Mr. P. K.C., and Mr. Tindal Davies represented the respondent. The previous night Mr. Justice Bigham sug- gested that there should be a consultation between counsel with a view to a settlement, if possible, but on Tuesday morning Mr. Law eaid it had been impossible to comc to terms. In the action brought by Mr. Baker, the trustee, it was pointed out that the appel- lant had paid the three promissory notes of £2.:joJ each. What case had counsel for the remainder of the proof, having regard to the consent judgment? Mr. David replied that there was tJie<-£50, half of the commission of £100 to be paid to appellant. Then there were the sums of £500 and £250 paid by him to Joseph in res- pect of the purchase of the business at Clap- ham on the signing of the agreement. Mr. Justice Bigham asked what reason there was that these sums should be allowed. Mr. David said Mr. Abel Myers had bar- gained for something which he had not got, and which, by the operation of the bank- ruptcy law, he had been deprived of. Mr. Justice Bigham said the alleged pay- ment rested only on the evidence of Mr. Myers. He did not acoept his evidence at present. He regarded this transaction as a gross fraud between the two brothers, and he should hesitate very much about accept- ing, substantially, the unsupported testi- mony of Abel Myers. After further argument Mr. Justice Big- ham added that there was no question of fraudulent preference here. It was a ques- tion whether this was a real transaction or nt, or whether it was merely a sham. No judgment bound him, and he should look at the real truth of the case. Mr. Powell said his client was very anxious that the truth of the transaction should be ascertained, and, perhaps, his lordship would like that the case should be adjejprned in order that the matter might be inquired into. Mr. Justice Bigham: Not yet; I shall hear Mr. Law first. Mr. Powell said Ifhe evidence at present was all one way. namely, that appellant had paid these sums and had not got anything for them. Mr. Law, for the respondent, said the endorsement on the writ in the common law action was that the transaction as to the purchase of the business was a fraud and a sham. In that action, the courage of Abel Myors faHing him a.t the last moment, hehiad consented to judgment. There never was any question of fraudulent preference 01 Abel Myers by his brother. Mr. Justice Bigham said the difficulty was as to the three bills of £250, which Abel Myers had paid, and, probably, he ought to be able to prove them. Then there was the question of the rent and the rates which he had paid. At present he did not see why Abel should not be allowed these three bills which he bad paid. Mr. Law submitted that at the commence- ment of the bankruptcy in regard to the three bills there was no relationship of r tnd creditor between Joseph and Abel. That was all wiped out by the deed between them. and Abel could not now benefit under a. fraudulent deed, to which he was himself a. party and which amounted to a release of Joeeph from a contingent liabi- lity. After a long legal argument Mr. Powell replied, submitting that there had been no fraud on the part of Abel Myers. Mr. Justice Bigham said it would be more satisfactory if Mr. Abel Myers went into the witness-box. P°w*ell said he was willing to do that, ine hearing was adjourned until Monday.

MARRIAGE TANGLE, AN EXTRAORDNIARY CASE. A complicated ease came before Mr. Arthur Lawis ait Poath Police-court on Thursday a fcLSf1? h Frederick Mtdhvu', a baJser, to sho-w cause, Ac. The facts elicited were peculiar. it appeared that in 1893 defendant was married to plaintiff a sister by whom he had three children. The mother died in 1899. Later in the year plaintiff went through the form of marriage with Mitchell at Pontypridd Registry (Mice, and there were two children as issue. Plaintiff understood that she was legiUmately married The parties continued to live together with plaintiff's father who built a bakery, which Mitchell managed Mr Ash taking the bread round in a cart. There was no hitch in the matrimonial arrange- ment until 1904, when defendant went to Blackpool for his holiday. He enjoyed himself so much that he went there again almost immediately after the first visit. Returning, he mentioned a lady whom he had met there, and whom he subsequently married. The validity of the marriage with plaintiff was then called into question, and unplea- santness arose. points were argued by Mr A T James, for the plaintiff, a.nd Mr. D. Rees, who defended. The Stipendiary said that if the children were illegitimate, and the paternity not denied, then be would have to make an order. If, however, it was claimed they were legitimate under the Act of 1907. then defen- dant would have to maintain them He advised that an agreement should be arrived to tSf adjourned the oase for a fortnight to that end.

PONTYPRIDD HOSPITAL AND THE RATES. RATEPAYERS TO BE AGAIN CONSULTED. The question of the provision of a cottage hospital for Pontypridd again formdFth, subject of discussion at a meeting of the district «mncil. held under the pLidency of iJr. T. Taylor, J.P, on Tuesday, a letter being read trom MTS. H. M. Gregory con. veying the terms of the resolution passed a* the recent public meeting that the hospital should be erected and maintained out of the rates. Councillor Moses Jones proposed and Coun- cillor A. T. Evans seconded that a sub-com- mittee be appointed forthwith to make inquiries regarding a site. Councilor Philip Jones moved an amend- ment that the matter be adjourned for a. fortnight in order to enable meetings of rate- payers to be held in eaoh ward. Councillor Juiian said that since the last meeting there appeared to be a. growing opinion that the best method would be to build the nospital by voluntary contribu- tions and afterwards maintain it out of the rates. Ultima.tely a majority voted in favour of deferring the matter for a fortnight.

PHARAOH'S MUMMY. + REMARKABLE ARTICLE BY A MERTHYR DOCTOR, Most interesting of the articles in the Feb- ruary Strand Magazine" is that of Dr. David M. Beddoe, entitled The Dis- covery of Pharaoh's Mummy." It is of local interest, inasmuch as the writer is the eon of Mr. Beddoe, the well- known Merthyr solicitor, and the value of the article is enhanced by the splendid illustrations, which ertaaid to the credit of Professor Elliot Smith. The photographs include that of Pharaoh himself—the Pharaoh of the Israelitieh plagues—as well as one of a battle chariot, suoh a.s was used by his host when they were loot in the Red Sea. "The eyes of readers of these pages," writes Dr. lietteoe, can rest on the very features on which the eyes of Moses looked three thousand years and more ago. The mummy was found in 1898 by M. Loret in the tomb of Amenihotep n., at Bab el Muleuk, Thebes, and was brought to the museum in Cairo in 1900. but it was not until last July that it was unwrapped. Professor Elliot .j;mit.h writes:—" There can be little doubt the correctness of the identification of this mummy as the Pharaoh with whom, it is now practically certain, Moses fought his long duel for the liberation of his countrymen. The unwrapping of the cloths made it olear tha.t the mummy had been robbed of those golden seeptres of BoyaJty which ever accompanied the Kings of Egypt to the tomb, and the thieves of about 2,000 years ago had gashed into the forearms with the sharp instrument employed to out through the under wrappings in order to get at the spoils." Dr. Beddoe weaves the Biblical incidents into his article in moot interesting fashion. Pharaoh's physiognomy, Ac., are re-con- st ruc-t-ed in detail, and the writer adds: Of the cause of Pharaoh's death we have no record. That he met with the end com- monly ascribed to him is almost certainly unfounded. There is no record of his having been drowned in the Red Sea. neither is there any account of any Pharaoh having met his death by such means, and the fa-cl that his mummy has now been found prac- tically puts such a theory out of conrt. Though it has long been aocepted that the Pharaoh of the Exodus met his fate thus, the examination of Holy Writ does not exprfssly state it." A perusal of the article opens up a crowd of theories and endless subjects for disputa- tion, and much will probably be written upon Dr. Beddoe's remarkable contribution. Dr. Beddoe has for some years been resi- dent in Cairo.

BURGLARY SEQUEL. ABERAVON BOILERMAKER CHARGED. Oliver James, a young boilermaker, Gwyn- terrace, Aberavon, was brought up on re- mand at Abera von on Thursday charged with brealeing and" entering the dwelling-house and shop of H. W. Vicey, 3, Owmavon-road, Aber- avon, on the 7th irst., and stealing there from nine la-dies' watches, 40 gold and silver rings. and a number of other gold and silver articles, valued in all at £33. Mr. Edward T Evans. who prosecuted on behalf ot the police, said that on t-fre 6th inst. Mr. Vicey locked up his shop securely, and on the following morning found tha.t the premises had been entered through a hole which had been made in the wall of the shop, and it WM found that jewellery to the value of about £33 was missing. On the 18th inst. Police-inspector Edwards found that two gold rings had been pledged by prisoner's wife at Mr. Lyons, Swansea, and since that a large portion of the missing jewel-dry had 0000. found pledged at eighteen different pawnbrokers at Cardiff, Bristol. Swansea. and Newport. Mr. Evans added that it was only fair to prisoner to say that since his arrest he had given considerable assistance to the police in recovering the stolen pro- perty W. H. Vicey, jeweller, spoke to finding a large hole in the wall, and the shop rifled. He identified numerous articles as his pro- perty. Inspector Edwards, Port Talbot, deposed to recovering a quantity of the stolen property. Prisoner, on being charged, said, I didn't take all that was put down. I can't give exactly what I took, but I only took 33 rings in all, four gold watches, four silver ones, five silver chains, five oxydised watches, twelve medalions, some coins, two seals, and five or six matah-boxes. I have been driven to do it. as I have been out of work. I only worked five months last years, as I suffered from the effects of an Hcoident." Prisoner later said he wished to correct a statement made by Inspector Edwards. He (the prisoner) only gave Egan three or four medals and a. ring. I was drunk at the time." he sadd, and I thought I gave them more, but I did not. I put them into hand. Grace went away. and had nothing whatever to do with it. I don't know if Egan gave Buokley anything. I asked Egan to oome and help me to do the job, but he re- fused. Joseph Hill did not know that I stole the things. I stuffed him up that they were my own property, and asked him to buy them as I had been out of work." Prisoner was committed for trial at the assizes, bail being refused. RECEIVING CHARGES. John Egan ana Patrick Buckley, Aberavon, and John Grace, Port Talbot, were then put in the dock charged with receiving from Oliver James six silver medallions, two seals, five gold gem rings, and one lady's silver watch, of the. value of £2 lfe. 6d. Joseph Hill, Alma-place, Aberavon, was charged at the same time'with, receiving from Oliver James a number of gold and silver articles, valued at £2178. 9d. Mr. Lewis M. Thomas defended Egan, Buckley, and Grace, and Mr. Trevor Hunter defended Hill. In the result, Grace and Hill were dis- charged, and Egan and Buckley ware com- mitted to the next assizes, bail being allowed, themselves in £10 and two sureties of £10 each.

"DEAD MAN" ALIVE. POOTARDULAIS WOMAN'S DOUBLE SURPRISE. A man whose family have mourned him as dead for nearly a month has just returned to his home at Pontardulais, near Uanelly. In December last a man's body was found on the mountainside near Neath, and in consequence of certain marks upon it was j identified as that of a man named David Daviee, of 5, Cambrian-street, Pontardulais, who had been missing. The body was buried, and the supposed widow and her family went into mourning. A few day a ago the missing husband returned to his wife and family, only, how- ever. to stay over the week-end, for he has again gone off in a curious manner. OFF AGAIN FOR A YEAR. In an interview on Wednesday Mrs. Davies said her husband went away in November last. She was astonished to see him walk into the house about 10.30 on Saturday night. He refused to tell her where he had been, but told a policeman that he had been at Gaerau, M. He stayed at home until Monday, when, after giving her £2, he said he was going away again and would not- be back for twelve months. He refused to tall her where he was going. How she came to think that he was dead was through a description in the newspapers about Christ- mastime that a man had been found dead at Seven Sisters, and the description seemed to +at °? bef ^usband. She went up toServen Sisters, and from inquiries made certain that the body, which had just f*»n buned, was that of her missing husband

LIBERAL WITH CLUB MONEY. NEWPORT SECRETARY SENT TO PRISON. Ernest Olivers, 46, living in Rndrv-etreet East Usk-road, Newport, and up to Deoembe^ 21 secretary and one of the trustees of the date club camed on at the South Wales Railway Tavern, Bast-street, was charged at -Newport on Wednesday with stealing and embezzling £ 40, the moneys of William Dia- mond and others. The prisoner, who u „ boilermaker 001 the Great Western Railway pleaded guilty. Detective-sergeant Tanner said he received prisoner uito custody from the Hull police on Tuesday. In leply to the charge, prisoner -lid. Yes, that is quite true, and I deserve all I get for the trouble I have brought on my wife and six children. When I left New- port I went to Pontypool, and then to Bir- mingham, where I lost the greater part of the money. On ging to Hull I surrendered myself to the major of the Salvation Army, who advised me to give myself up. He then came with me to the police office." Witness further stated that prisoner told him he had drawn money from the bank previous to this, and had lent it to friends. He could not get it back, and did not know what to do, so ran away. Prisoner now stated that by frying to be k to others he had got himself into trouble. He had nothing to say in mitiga- tion, only to plead for leniency for the sake of his wife and six children. Mr. Diamond and another trustee said they did not wish to press the charge, and the Bench sent the pritoner to gaol for one month, with hard labour.

COLOFN Y CYMRY. J (Can CEMLYN.) MR. LLOYD GEORGE YN NGHAERDYDD.

Ar un olwg, meddaf, yr oedd y croesaw a'r brwdfrydedd a'r anrhyd-edd a osodwyd ar Mr. Lloyd George yn bollol naturiol; end y mae ochr arall i'r cwestiwn sy'n sicr o brofi yn ffynhonellllawenydd i bob Cymro sy'n credu yn nyfodol ei ivlad. Os bu Cymru yn ddiffygiol mewn un peth yn fwy na'i gilydd, dyma ydoedd— diffyg hunanbarch; a dyna sy'n cvfrif, mae'n debyg, i ni ar ihyd y blynyddau fod mor chwanog i anrhydeddu estren- iaid a throi ein gwyr glew ein hunain o'r neilldu yri ddisylw.

Erbyn byn, fodd bynag, y mae ein syniadau parthed hyd a lied, uchder a dyfnder cenedlaetholdeb yn gywirach nag eiddo'r tadau, ac, o ganlyniad, y mae'r oes hon yn fwy goddefgar na'r oos o'r blaen, ac yn barotadh i gydnabod teilyngdod a gwasanaetb ewyllvsgar pa Ie bynag y deuir o hyd iddynt.
