SA IT UBDA Y, JUNE 7, 188%. LOCAL. WHITSUNTIDE, 1884. THE great summer holiday has come and gone, and the most acceptable festival of the Christian year is only to be referred to as a joyous thing of the past. Whit-Monday will be remembered with pleasure, inasmuch as the glorious month of June was thereby ushered in with as fine weather as the most inveterate grumbler at Dame Nature's gifts could desire-balmy, sweet smelling air, green fields, bright flowers, and full foliaged trees—in fact, as a period when- Heaven descended In universal Dounty shedding herbs And fruits and flowers on Nature's ample lap. Each of the surging centres of human life in South Wales seemed to have contributed its quota to the crowds of men and women which besieged busy Cardiff from the earliest streak of dawn until close upon the midnight hour, and these blocked to a considerable extent all our etistomary comfortable methods of vehicular and pedes- trian traffic. As a rule, the gaily-dressed visitors from the hills and valleys entered into the various amusements provided for them, without in the least infringing the unwritten code of public propriety, but drunkenness was too painfully conspicuous. The Chief Constable, however, exercised a wise discretion in giving instructions to his men not to arrest anyone who indulged in this form of excess unless it was absolutely necessary to do so for the protection of others, and so the police cells were spared many an occupant who would, under ordinary circumstances, have found a night's lodging there. LUCKY LLANELLY. THE members of the Mechanics' Institute at Llanelly do well in expressing the obligation under which they lie for any success that has been attained to their worthy President, Sir ARTHUR STEPNEY. It is entirely owing to this liberal-minded baronet that the institu- tion bids fair to become one of the most important auxiliaries in the grand scheme of university extension in South Wales. Beneath such roofs will be bred the men who, in the time to come, must be found working for good or evil in every quarter of society. If mutual respect and forbearance among various classes be not found there, where so many men are trained up in so many gra3es, to enter on so many roads of life, where else can that great lesson be imbibed ? Differences of wealth, of rank, of intellect, we know there must be, and we respect them but Sir ARTHUR STEPNEY has shown that all have the means of taking out one patent of nobility, which may be defined in the words of our own Poet Laureate, the truth of which he must feel with greater force now that he has become Lord TENNYSON.— Howe'er it be, it seems to me 'Tis only noble to be good True hearts are more th1I coronets. And simple faith than Norman blood." A CLEVER WELSHWOMAN. A FEELING of deep satisfaction must have been experienced in every part of the prin- cipali,ty upon the news gaining ground that a Welshwoman, Miss E. P. HUGHES, daugh- ter of Mr JOHN HUGHES, surgeon, Carmar- then, and sister of the famous Wesleyan minister, the Rev. HUGH PRICE HuaHEs, was the only successful candidate of either sex in the first class in the Moral Science Tripos examination at Cambridge. We need not trouble at this time of day to rake up the dead-and-gone objections that were wont to be urged by men of all parties against the higher education of women, but their philosophy was always to be summed up in the unmeaning application of one short sentence. How often did we hear from a large class of men, wise in their generation, as an all-convincing argu- I ment, i a little learning is a dangerous thing T A little hang- ing was considered a very dangerous thing, according to the same authorities, with this difference, that because a little hanging was dangerous we had a great deal of it, and because a little learning was dan- gerous, especially in the case of women, we were to have none at all. WHYTE MEL- VILLE, iii his charming novel, "Kate Coventry," makes the heroine say "We women are sadly kept down in this world, whatever we shall be in the next. If they would only let us try, I think we could beat the 'lords of the creation,' as they call themselves, at everything they undertake." We heartily congratulate Miss HUGHES upon y I her distinguished success, and Newnham College upon the fillip thus given by one of its students to the furtherance of feminine education. MARRIED SCHOOLMISTRESSES. THE chairman of the Llanwonno School Board thinks that when female teachers take to themselves a husband they shoutd at once cease to fulfil their scholastic duties. He has the courage of his opinion, and he has brought forward a resolution, the discussion of which has been deferred, calling upon female teachers to tender their resignation "when entering the married circle." We do not exactly know what the Department will say if this proposition is carried, but we have a shrewd suspicion that they will veto it. It is a serious thing to lay down a rule that marriage shall be a bar to the employ- ment of those who have spent the best years of their lives in preparing themselves for the onerous duties of teachers. Who shall de- clare that the mere fact of a woman entering the connubial state unfits her for the office of schoolmistress ? It is true she may have the tie of a family, but then the authorities would take good care this did not interfere with the discharge of her functions. She would have to keep her school hours just as rigorously as a single woman, although a few days, in the course of nature, would have to be sacrificed at intervals too long apart to interfere seriously with her usefulness in the school. The chairman of the Llanwonno Board may be guided by the interests of duty, but we, at all events, cannot see the justice or necessity of his motion. LIBERALISM IN MONMOUTHSHIRE AND CARDI- GANSHIRE. THE warm welcome which greeted Mr C. M. WARMINGTON, Q.C., at Aborcarne, on Wed- nesday night, augurs well for the success of his candidature of Monmouthshire. The Liberals of the county are now evidently in earnest in their effort; to yvreat the repre- scntation from the hands of the usurper, and we congratulate them upon, having ob- tained such a doughty DAVID to confront the Tory GOLIATH. The political "points" of Mr WARMINGTON are thoroughly sound, albeit he may not at present seo eye to eye with the advanced guard of the party and in this connection we may briefly refer to the unfortunate state of affairs in Cardigan. Mr PUGH, the member for the county, in the matter of leasing his constituents, has exemplified the policy of "hownot to do it," and we sincerely trust that the strong feeling which was manifested at the Lampeter j meeting on Tuesday will induce him to sacri- fice his own private opinions upon important political questions at the shrine of the grand principle of "the greatest good of the greatest number." j
! GENERAL.
GENERAL. THE WELLINGTON STATUE. IT is high time that the British nation gave up spending large sums in erecting statues to naval and military heroes. The cost of the WELLINGTON statue about to be re- erected at Aldershot has been enormous. The ladies of Great Britain, in a freak of admiration, erected a statue of ACHILLES in honour of the .great duke at the back of Apsley House. WELLINGTON never went about almost in a state of nudity, with a huge club, and there was not the slightest resemblance between the mythical hero and the real one. There is a statue to the duke in front of the Royal Exchange, which cost, including dinners and adver- tising, no less than £ 30,000, of which the sculptor, Sir FRANCIS CHANTREY, received only -26,000, or one-fifth. If the £30,000 had been invested in the funds and devoted to WELLINGTON military scholarships, it would have done much more good than it is ever likely to do now. Most of our public statues have been failures, and their cost to the nation has been enormous. The comical appearance of the statue of GEORGE III. in Cockspur-street, London, with his pigtail, strikes every beholder, and the one—now happily pulled down-erected to GEORGE IV. at King's-cross made him look behind like sack of flour tied up ugly. THE MERCHANT SHIPPING BILL. WHENEVER legislation is inaugurated by the Government of the day with a view to the lessening of evils which exist in any branch of industry, many of those who live by that industry look upon the movement as an in- sult levelled at themselves, whereas only the wrongdoers ought to feel aggrieved. When the Ten Hours Bill was posing through Par- liament, the manufacturers, as a body, with a few honourable exceptions, fought against it in a spirit of the bitterest opposition. Mr CHAMBERLAIN is encountering the same sort of opposition with his Merchant Ship- ping Bill. He wishes to lessen the loss of life at sea, and ship- owners who have never been implicated in any wrongdoing are as hostile to his bill as others who have reaped a harvest by the loss of their ships. Legislation ought to be carried on with a single view to prevent loss of life and property, which is very great at present. Anything which will lessen that loss ought to be encouraged. Harbours of refuge present one means, and we hope that they will be made at various points of our coast, so as to enable ships to run for shelter in a storm. We have an abundance of con- vict labour, and that might be utilised, like it was at Portland Breakwater, in making those harbours. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. V WHAT a revolution has taken place in the opinions of some politicians with regard to woman suffrage A few years ago only a few Quixotic individuals were in favour of it, and now it appears as if a majority of the members of the House of Commons would vote for it. There is no provision in the Representation of the People Bill nowbefore the House for the admission of women to the franchise, but we believe that, with a little pressure from outside, Mr GLADSTONE would frame a clause providing for the admission of women, and so spare Mr WOOD ALL the trouble of dividing the House upon it. Women now vote for the election of guar- dians and members of school boards, and a woman has sat upon the throne of this country for nearly half a century. House- hold suffrage, irrespective of sex, is what we ought to agitate for. Many men with the present limited franchise do not know the value of a vote, while many women do. Women have to obey the laws, but have no voice in the framing of them, which is monopolised by what is commonly termed the sterner sex.
FOREIGN.
FOREIGN. "A WASP FLEET." M. GABRIEL CHARMES, in the Heme Politique, has an article which is of great interest to this country. He points out that little Denmark at the present time has more torpedo-boats than Great Britain, and even Germany distances us, while the British colonies are fully alive to the important of a "wasp fleet." During the recent heavy weather in the Mediterranean, the French Thorneycrofts behaved remarkably well, not one boat being lost. We can build 60 torpedo- boats for the same money as one ironclad, and whereas an ironclad takes seven or eight years to build, a torpedo-boat can be built in less than as many months. Ironclads can- not pass through the Suez Canal, torpedo- boats can. All this is well worthy the attention of the British Admiralty, a body which is generally very sluggish in moving without the spur of public opinion. For the price of three ironclads we can have a fleet of 200 torpedo-boats capable of going any- where. AMERICAN DYNAMITARDS. ALTHOUGH the amount of damage done by the Irish-Americans in their recent attempts is very small, it is time that some steps should be taken by the leading governments of the world towards dealing with the mis- creants who do not seem to care how they maim and bjure innocent people, so long as they revenge themselves for wrongs inflicted on Ireland generations ago, very often by their own country- men. When Presidents LINCOLN and GAR- FIELD were assassinated, the people of Great Briton expressed as much sorrow as if they had been native-born Americans. Some of the leading American newspapers are healthy in the matter, while others pooh- pooh the whole affair. While O'DONOVAN ROSSA and FORD are allowed to pour forth their detestable filth, we do not believe the American authorities are dealing fairly with us. Why cannot the different countries of the world agree to take the manufacture of these dangerous compounds into their own hands, and thus prevent them from being carried from one country to another with which they are at peace ? THE RUSSIANS IN CENTRAL ASIA. 11 THE MOSCOW Gazette contains a cool article upon the present andfutuie of Central Asia. It innocently sees no danger to Afghan independence in a joint occupation of the Khyber Pass by a Russo-Afghan garrison. The British arc so much occupied with Egypt at the present time that they give no thought to the back-entrance to India. The writer hopes, now that all Bri- tish goods are not allowed to go through the Caucasus, that British states- men will treat Russia with a little more consideration. Lord FITZMAURICE, however, in the House of Commons the other day, said that the Cabinet was not blind to the danger which menaced India, and therefore Russia ought not to be too sure that the occupation of the Khyber Pass by Russian and Afghan troops would be viewed in Great Britain with perfect equani- mity. Russia know endeavouring to coax Persia to allow a nrlitary railway to be made through that country, but the Shah has up to the present moment refused to countenance such a scheme. We can always outbid Russia, if necessary, in Afghanistan, as we have the sinews of war, and she has not.
THE LORDS AND THE FRANCHISE.…
THE LORDS AND THE FRANCHISE BILL. AMONG the articles in tin National Review for this month is one written by Earl PERCY, which is headed "The FranchisB 13ill and the House of Lords." I- s his lordship will, in the course of nature, one day be a rich and powerful duke, interested in the strict maintenance of class pretensions and heredi- tary claims, we cannot expect him to take a very impartial view on the subject upon which he writes so flippantly. He is as much concerned in the existence of the House of Lords as it is at present constituted as any peer in it, and we do not expect him, we should be foolish if we did, to concede one iota when a question of conflict arises between the august assembly to which his father belongs, and the people who speak, or ought to speak, tho real sentiments of the country. Furl PEROY tells us in a flashily worded sentence that it is easy to raise a fictitious and fugitive demand for any legislative change by persuading the unen- lightened portion of tho people that they are suffering injustice and a deprivation of their rights, and by magnifying the advantage they would derive by admission to the ballot box but the simple reply to such an I assertion is that already voters in boroughs of the very same class as those in the counties possess the right to vote, and that the with- holding of the power to do so from the latter is a deprivation which is galling and unjust. We do not wish to give undue pro- minence to the utterances of Lord PERCY, because they come from a politician who has not had a very large legislative experience, and because his talents are of a very negative order indeed; but as he assumes to speak in I the name of the party to which he belongs, we feel justified in controverting what he says. If the Conservatives wish to insinuate that the threa millions of voters in the counties whom Mr GLADSTONE proposes to enfranchise are not all anxious for the power with which he proposes to invest them, they are either grossly ignorant of the situa- tion or are-endeavouring to throw dust in the eyes of their supporters. They cannot hope that their opponents will accept their dicttun, because they know very- well how the land lies, and no amount of sophistry and special pleading will be potent to de- ceive them. We- should like to know, if it is so -easy to raise a fictitious and fugitive demand for any legislative change by per- suading the unenlightened portion of the people that they are suffering injustice and a deprivation of their rights," why the com- mon sense of the country did not discover the fact when the demand for the franchise for the householders in boroughs was made and enforced. Even a Tory would not be so stupid as to argue, outside his own coterie, or away from the club-room where he disports himself for the edification of his friends, that the residents in our counties are more "unenlightened" than their con- freres within the boroughs, many of whom live lives of ignorance and depravity in the slums and purlieus of our large centres. There is really not a word to be said in fa- vour of perpetuating the injustice which now exists of keeping the unenfranchised people of the counties out of their own, and it is all nonsense to talk about the voice of the country not having been heard upon the subject, for it has been ringing in our ears ever since the concession of the franchise was made to the borough electors. Lord PERCY thinks, or assures us he thinks, that the House of Lords, by acting upon their own judgment, and rejecting the County Franchise Bill, would raise rather than lower their character in the estimation of a nation who are as conspicuously dis- "tinguished by a capability of honouring arm and straightforward resolution, even while they condemn its application, as they are prone to despise oscillation and v weakness, even while they reward it by subdued and half-contemptuousapplause." If we rightly interpret this involved declara- tion, and take away from it its soft sawder, it means that the people of this country would at heart rejoice to find the hereditary branch of the legislature deliberately flying in the face of the representative branch of the legislature, and refusing to pa3S any measure of reform which might be sent up to them for consideration. Anything more fallacious or ridiculous it would be im- possible to conceive. To be plain, the recent action of the Upper House in rejecting the deliberate proposals of the people's House, has chafed and annoyed the country beyond measure, and the serious attention of all thoughtful men has been directed to the solution of the problem. What will be the result in the end if this antagonism, this studied disregard of the national voice by a wholly irresponsible agency continues to go on ? If, as the writer in the National Review seems to fore- shadow, the peers should reject the County Franchise Bill, they will have added another and most conclusive reason why a change should be made. It is all very well to talk about the patriotism of the Lords, but we must not forget that there is such a thing as the patriotism of the people. If arguments could be found which tended to show that the advantage of carrying the franchise to the counties was doubtful, that there was no strong claim put in for the privilege by those upon whom it is proposed to confer it, and that no injustice would be Buffered by allowing matters to remain as they do at present, we could find a loop- hole for the Peers to creep out of. Tim. however, is impossible. The principle of the measure has been conceded over and over again from the Opposition benches, and their only clamour is for delay in order that re-distribution, which everyone adraits is very necessary, should accompany, if not precede, the extension of the franchise. It will be simply unfortunate if the House of Lords refuses to pass the Bill after it has been fully, and indeed wearily, discussed in the other House. It is bound to become law at no distant date, but in the meantime the Peers will have shown such a disregard to the popular sentiment that a storm of in- dignation will burst over their heads, and a cry will be raised for a change, if not for absolute abolition.
TALK OF THE WEEK.
TALK OF THE WEEK. [BY GOHEBYDD.] The talk is that the Whitsuntide holidays have passed off right enjoyably. The weather, except in some places in the earlier part of the day, was just the sort of article that could be done with all the year round, and with this important desidera- tum in their favour, the hundreds of thousands of holiday-makers in this part of the kingdom re- velled in the holiday to the top of their bene. I dare say there were some aching heads when busi- ness was renewed, but speaking by the book, I can say that I have seen less inebriety this Whit- suntide than on many previous occa- s ons, It has been said by our vola- tile neighbours across the channel that Britishers are wont to take their pleasures sadly, but long odds might be laid that this opinion would be changed if a peep could have been taken at the smiling faces of the multitudes who thronged the streets and saw alt that was to be seen in this district on Whit Monday, and I think I might tack on Whit Tuesday also. The only thing that marred the effect of all I saw p was that in the thronged streets of Cardiff, after closing time, there was something more than an inclination to rowdyism, and I am afraid the police bad some trouble in clearing the thorough- fares. I have heard that when drink is in, wit is out the pity on't is that the drink, or such a quantity of it, should ever get in. The talk is that when death steps in among the pleasure seekers, one cannot but feel sad. In the midst of the fun which ran fast and furiously in the Sophia Gardens, at Cardiff, a young fellow was knocked down and killed by a swinging boat. I am scarcely surprised at this. I often wonder that there are not more accidents from a similar cause. The way those who enjoy themselves by these methods has often been a matter of astonishment to me. I have occasion now and then to pass uy a piece of vacant ground at that part of Cowbridge-road where the penny 'busses stop, and I shudder at the length to which the daring riders in these swing boat3 go. En passant, let me record my conviction that those who live within earshot ot this noisy spot must be long- suffering people. The talk is that the running course at the Alex- andra Park, Cardiff, is a dangerous one for galloping horses. In trotting matches there is r not much to compiain of, but when it comes to a matter of galloping, the circle is so circumscribed that a great risk is run by both horse and rider. The animals, however experienced the jockeys may be, can only with the greatest difficulty turn in so short a space when at full speed, and th3 consequence is that there is a more than occasional coming to grief." This means injury or death to rider and horse, and involves besides no small pecuniary loss. This year two of the animals taking part in the races were killed from the cause I have indi- cated, and the question resolves itself into this; Is it not better to keop the ground for trotting races only, and so avoid these casualties, which may one of these fine days be held to in- volve the offence which is known as cruelty to animals ? If sufficient patrons can be found for the sport of horse-racing at full speed, there is an admirable course at Ely which could be utilised for the purpose, and the dangers of the pastime minimised. I am not adverse to witnessing an equine struggle on the flat or over hurdles, but I do not care about having my nerves shattered by seeing a plucky brute staked or thrown over be- cause it has not sufficent space in whioh to do its turning properly. I may be told that the Chester race course, the Rhoodee, is a circular one, but I must be permitted to point out that there is a difference in the circumference of a. peppermint lozenge and a cart wheel. The talk is that the subject of bands" is one which is just now occupying public attention in these parts. At Swansea the watch committee bave recommended the corporation to allow the police band to play on Sundays. I don't know that any great harm will come if leave, is granted. I am not one of those who fear that people who have made up their minds to go to church or chapel will stay away on purpose to hear thatj which they can listen to every day in the week j I am not ashamed to confess that I think tbtfj concord of sweet sounds which is daily-I might say hourly—poured forth in our streets from the "French pianos"—I believe this is the right tent —is right musical. I would go so far as to make myself a Philistine among the musicians by avenf" mg that, for tune and time, these instruments equal the performances of Thalberg or Willit Pape, both of whom have charmed me with their wonderfully Wilful treatment of the pianoforte. By the bye, how ia Mr Head Constable Heming- way, of Cardiff, getting on with his band 1 1 hope to hear aoon that the instruments have been purchased, and that" Robert" is becoming pro* ficient in his scales, &c. The talk is that the action of the chairman of the Llanwonno School Board in reference to the compulsory retirement of married schoolmistressefl will not commend itself to everybody. I have ? profound respect for the powers that be, but 1 like to take them in their most reasonable mo- ments. The official to whom I have referred has an idea that schoolmistresses should be discharged directly they enter the bonds of holy wedlock.* This is handicapping rather heavily the marital state. I do not for my own part see why a mar- ried woman should not be able to teach as well as a single one. There is an objection that married women may have children, and that, having children, they cannot devote the time they should to their scholastic duties. This is, I take the liberty of saying, special pleading. If » schoolmistress has children, there is no reason why she should absent herself from her pro- fessional charge. If she does, why then the de- partment or the local managers would be justified in interfering. Until some better reasons are found for dispensing with teachers who have the effrontery to emulate their friends and neighbours in taking to themselves partners in life, I would ask the Llanwonno School Board to hold its hands. Pray don't take the bread out of the mouths of those who have, after much time and tribulation, perfected themselves in the most approved methods of teaching "the young ide* how to shoot." The talk is that cat-hunting is not a sport to which the most ardent of sportsmen would care to devote themselves. At the county police-court at Swansea, on Wednesday, two men were charged with cruelly ill-treating a cat. And cruelly ill-treat a cat they did. A stray member of the feline tribe was on the road, and so were the defendants, and so were two dogs. The dogs were put on to the cat, and chased it into wood. Puss was struck down from a refuge- place in the tree=, and then the dogs seized het from both extremities, head and tail, until one 01. the legs was nearly pulled off. I am not surprised to learn that the cut died soon after. The bench thought a sovereign and costs was a sufficient penalty for the cat-hunters. I take leave to differ.
STEMMING AT THE CARDIFF DOCKS.
STEMMING AT THE CARDIFF DOCKS. ACTION IN THE COUNTY COURT. At the Cardiff county court on Thursday, Judge Owen had before him a case in which Messrs Edward Harris and Co., of Middlesborough-on- Tees, tho owners of the steamship Greenwood, sued the trustees of the Marquis of Bute for £50, as compensation for damage suffered by the plain- tiffs, owing to the defendants improperly refusing to admit the plaintiffs' steamer, the Greenwood, into the Bute Docks between the dates of the 3rd and bth January, whereby the said steamer was detained four days. Mr Gibbons, instructed by Messrs Ingledew, Ince, and Vachell, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr Abel Thomas, retained by Mr Shirley, was tor the defendants.—It ap- peared from the opening statement that the Greenwood arrived in C:udiff Roads about mid- night of the 2nd January, having been chartered to load a cui go of coal in the East Bute Dock. Between nine and ten on the morning of the 3rd Janua'-y, Captain Bell, the master of the vessel, went to the Bute Docks Office and stemmed or entered his vessel ifl the stemming book for entrance into the East Bute Dock,and in the oro.in3rY course the steamer should have entered the dock on that morning's tide. The dockmastcr, however, declined to allow her to enter, and she, with a number of other steamers and sailing vessels, was kept out in the roads all Thursday, the 3rd, Friday, the 4-th, Saturday, the 5th, and Sunday, the 6th of January, and until the afternoon of Monday, tho 7th, when she was allowed to enter. Captain Bell, it was stated, repeatedly saw the dockmaster and his assist- ants during these days, urging them to give him permission to dock ui-i steamer, when the only reply he could get was that his turn had not yet come. He also urged Messrs Cory Brothers, the charterers, to use their influence to fret him ad- mitted. but they expressed their inability t. help him at all, although they did their best, and as before mentioned, the captain only got into dock on the 7th, the result being (according to the terms of his charter party) that he could not give notice of his readiness to take in cargo till the next morllinlf-Tuesday, the 8tb, at nine o'clock—thus losing the whole of the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th of January out in the roads, at an expenditure of coal to keep the engines going all the time, and at some considerable danger in case of heavy weather. It was contended that the entry of the Greenwood was delayed in order that the vessels which had not been stemmed till subsequently to her, might be taken into the dock in priority. The plaintiffs' ca.se rested largely, if not entirely, upon sec. 72 of the Bute Dock Act of 18tS, by which the docks were to be free to all vessels subject to the payment of rates, and to the bye-laws of the undertakers, one of the latter of which provides that vessels are to be admitted in the order in which their name appears in the stemming book."—Mr Abel Thomas would like to call his Honour's attention to section 2 of the bye-laws, which allowed vessels only to enter upon any particular day when there was a. free stem at the dock.—His Honour What is the meaning of free stem ?''—Mr Thomas It means this, that there are not so many vessels in the roads but what they can all enter at a particular time.—His Honour: It means that there is room for them ?—Mr Thomas. Yes.— Mr Gibbons went on to cull attention to the Bute Dock Act of 1874-, He t-aid this showed that at that time the Bute Dock authorities thought- and he submitted that they were right in so thinking—that they had no power to give preference to one vessel over another in the way of admission into the dock, and the Legislature were of the same opinion, because, in order to enable them to give preference to steamers over sailing vessel", and to vessels in cargo over vessels in ballast, they were compelled to get additional statutory powers. So that at that time, said Mr Gibbons, the defendants were of opinion that the basis of the plaintiff's case was correct, and the legislature thought so too. That was a strong argument in favour of the construction which he asked his Honour to put upon these acts.—His Honour: So you admit that "onstructioB of the bye-laws, Mr Thomas ?—Mr Thomas: No, I don't think I adir.ii, anythiug my friend is now upon. E ;idence ilt support of the plaintiffs' case was then called, and in the course of it Mr Gibbons called for the defendants' stemming book, to which the first witness alluded, but some question arose as to ti .j disclosure of other matters, which would be involved by the production of the book, and it was dispensed with. Mr Gibbons went through a iist of vessels which, it was alleged, had been stemmed after the Greenwood, but which had been allowed to enter the dock before her, and it appeared that these were five in number. The first witness was Arthur Henry David, a to Messrs Cory Brothers, to whom the Greenwood was consigned, who spoke to the arrival of the vessel and her detention in the roads.—Mr John Greatrex, manager io Messrs Mortco and Penco, ship- brokers, Cardiff, said that the rate of demurrage on a vessel like the Greenwood was 16s 8d per hour. This witness, who said he was a ship- broker of 22 years' experience, was cross-examined upon the subject of a note being required from the charterer in times of pressure, showing a vessel to be ready to be loaded. ThedefendanW alleged that plaintiffs' captain was told of this requirement, and that his vesse! was admitted as soon as snch note was furnished to the dock- master. The witness said lie knew that such » note was required in times of pressure, and Louis Bielski, of Messrs Cory Brothers' shipping depart- ment, said he also was acquainted with the regulation, which, however, had only been put into force quite recently.—Mr T. R. Thompson, shipbroker, Cardiff, said that before the 1st January there was no regulation of this nature at the Bute Docks.—Upon the conclusion of the evi- dence, Mr Thomas conlended that his friend had not proved that any damage to the plaintiffs ha.d arisen.l\1r Gibbo113 said that rive vessels were given a preference, and that his vessel was not admitted till the 7th January, but he did not know how many vessels were admitted on that day. Supposing she was admitted on the 7tb January, she had lost nothing. Only as many vessels as could be put into the basin at one time could be admitted, and the stemming list was made out for the day, showing the number to be received. His learned friend had not shown that there were not five other vessels in front of tiie Greenwood on the stern- It there had been five vessels before her, she could not, in any event, have got in before the 7th January, a.nd therefore she suffered no loss. He asked the judge to nonsuit the plaintiffs 011 that ground.— His Honour remarked that there was a good deal in what Mr Thomas said r unless Mr Gibbons proved that if the five vessel were not admitted, the Greenwood would have been admitted before the 7th, no damage w shown.—Mr Gibbons replied that the alluded to were admitted two or three days befotØ the 7th.—His Honour said that Mr Gibbons w bound to prove that the defendants did not adnJ1* the vessel according to the regulation.—Mr Gi bons thought he had proved that.—His Honot said that Mr Gibbons must prove also thlJ" damage had been suffered. He directed a suit.—Mr Gibbons applied for leave to bring fresii action, and the application was granted, bO his Honour declined to stay execution.
THE CO-OPERATIVE CONGRESS.
THE CO-OPERATIVE CON- GRESS. The Co-op^rati ve Congress at Derby was sumed on Tuesday. Atter the reading of thetof, port, which was of a very satisfactory charactj, it was agreed to hold the congress for 1885 at tO" ham. A deputation of trade unionists was It duced in the afternoon, Mr Crawford, o> j Northern Miners' Association, being the Prin?g ot speaker. Papers were read on various asP6(lja^ co-operation, and in the evening a tonversW*" was held.
