LLANELLY MAN'S SENTENCE. ACCUSED'S APPEAL A CURIOUS POI NT. In the Court of Criminal Appeal on Thursday, before the Lord Chief Justice and Justioff Darling and A. T. Lawrence, a curious point was raised in an appeal by John Smith against his conviction and sen- tence at Carmarthen for housebreaking at li.,neily. The chairman, it appeared, sentenced the man to ihree years' penal servitude, to run T-nsecutivelv with a remanet of a previous I sentence, the prisoner having been out on :icenee. It wss. contended that the sentence was illegal in the form in which it was passed, but the Court held tnat the words "to run consecutively" were mere surplusage, and struck them out, the sentence of three years rscal servitude to stand. The ramanet of the previous sentence would be dealt with hereafter a? the Homo Secretary might de- termine.

^E £ T WALES TRADE NOTES. Trade around Gowerton is pery brisk. But the prospects of strikes in the coal- field and in the tinpla-te in-dustry cast a discordant note over future prosperity. Messrs. Ghusbmok Bros.. owners of Garn- goch Collieries, do not belong to the Masters' Association. But in the v event of a strike the colliers at these pits would have to come out, as the miners will have to fall in with the rulings of their leadens. New Gorwydd Colliery is being extended at a rap-id pace. New have been built, and siding accommodation increased. Elba Steelworks are kept going «t a merry pace, and so are the Fairwood Tin- plate Works. u Things are also brisk at Nevill'? Foundry anrl Dimvant Foundry.

"NATION AL" SECOND CHORAL CONTEST. SKEWEN AND BRITON FERRY ADJUDICATIONS. The adjudications in the second choral competition at the London National Eis- teddfod has now been issued in full by the courtesy of Dr. McNaught.. The test pieces were "0, Snatch me Swift," and "The Lord is My Shepherd," 100 marks being allowed for eacli. Southport received 191; Willee- den, 175;/ Cefn Mawr, 160; Briton Ferry, 158; Coleford, 150; Pentre and Treorky, 146 PortsmouUi Excelsior, 140; Fishguard, 150; Grnngetown and Skewen, 125 each. Dhe local adjudications are;- SKEWEN. (a) Military style of rhythm. Marked ac- cent. Too staccato aud chippy for the piece. Tone fair, but sopranos sometimes displayed a penertating, hard quality. Not dead in tune with one another, even in full major chords. A well-drilled choir on the rhyth- mic side. Needed much more eoratenuto style and finer tuning. The laet laz-go was excellently done. A welcome surprise. (b) Opening in promising style. Theu the intonation gave v/ay hopelessly. The at- tack was good as rhythm, but it had a. rather unpleasant b-te as music. There we-re evidences of careful study. The cli- maxes were well wrought up, and there was nearly always rhythmic rotere«t. With a more beautiful tono and perfect intonation this choir would do well. BRITON FERRY. (a) Attractive tone. Cleap. and blendful. Attack neat and dainty as rhythm. Never a deep resonance. Admirably dTiUed chodr. Such finish in the technique. Not a great revoanoe for climax. Many proofs of fine insisgbt. The end of the allegro (bars 60 to 67) was most imprensnve. The tenor entey (bar 79) was especially good. All thM sec- tion wac fairly sung. The slurs on the last- page were well defined, and the largo created its due effect. Altogether a. fine ex- hibition of choral technique. (b) Began very promisingly; then the in- tonation failed, and the execution became distressed. The tone did not make much effect as resonance, even in the climaxe*. Some good rhythmac effect, and the expres- sion deeigned "^as correct. The failure of the intonation probably oppressed the singers.

Mrs. Margaret Jonas said defendant had sold, her seven blocks of fuel. The defence w*„s that there h&d not been fsl- ocious in-teivl. The fuel was taken in broad j daylight in the ordinary course of business, Defendant said he had had coal before with- out ijayir$for it three weeks ago, and was just looking About for the boy to arrange for payment wben the policeman arrested him.

SWANSEA GUARDIANS. CONFERENCE REPORTS: ASYLUM MINUTES COUNCIL CRITICISED. A LITTLE BIT OF A BREEZE. Swansea Guardians met on '.Lhiirsaay (Mr. J. Meredith presiding), when a commuim;a tio;i was read from the Local Government Board sanctioning the increase of salary tc- £200 to Dr. Lloyd jidwards. Although Mr. W. Owen moved, and Rev. E. O. Lviais sccondtd, that no reports oi the Penarth Poor L?r.v Conference be or- dered, the amendment (by Mr. Henry Rogers, seconded bv Mrs..t'erkms) that re- pert." should be purchased tor thof-e who re- quired them, was carried. Mr. Rogers said the Board was "somewhat mean in not bonding a representative. Swansea Hospital regretted being unable '10 accept another vepre«-.er'tafcivo. On the report of the Asylums Committee for the exchango of lunatic* from Talgarth to Cheddleton. Mr. Harry Rogers described the inactivity of the Council in providing an asylum for the borough as "a disgrace io the governing body." Tne Council spent all their time, he said, on educational eontro vorsy, and whilst the interchange of patients was a credit to sentiment it WSA at the ex pense of the ratepayers. Mr. William "wt as a culprit, said there was great difncuity in securing a site to the approval ct the Lunacy Commis- sioners. It sva.s one thing to buy a thing for the public, and another to sell it. The Guardians would be surprised did they know what jf-rice per acre was asked. Within the next week, however, he could say that the Guardians would hear that ecmiething de finite bad been adopted. (Hear, tear). Mr. J. De-vonald said that by the way Mr. Rogers spoke he evidently Knew nothing whatever about, the matter. ("Oh" and laughter). The cost of lunatic maintenance would be far more with a separate asylum. They were still hoping that Merthyr would come in with Swansea. The committee to visit Bridgend was ap- pointed thus M-cssrs. Miller, J. V. Ed- wards, D. Richards, James Jones, Thomas Williams and J. Haniin. There was considerable discussion over the eloction of tile committee to visit Barm-ley Hail (Worcester), Cheddleton and Talgarth Asylums. M was agreed that three should be sent, a,nd P/tv. E. O. Evans (chairman of the Guardians' Asylums Committee) and Mr. J. Meredith (the Guardians' chairman) were unanimously agread to, voting taking piaee on the names of Messrs. Owen, Millet, Thomas, Williams, and Mrs. H. D. Wil- liams. Mr. Devonald I object to Mr. Owen as he is still one of the Council visitors. Mr. Owen ^warniiy)-: Point of order Am T here A A GUARDIAN OR A COUNCILLOR? Mr. Devonald You should not bo here as a councillor. Mr. Rogers said it only showed how anxious they should be to support Mr. Owen after that, as Mr. Devonald always differed on that point with Mr. Owen on the Coun- cil. Mr. Rosser Nonsense Nonsense Mr. Rogers Are you chairman or Mr. M eredith ? The first two ballots on the three names were indecisive, but the final voting was Miller, 19; Mrs. H. D. Williams, 12.

Mr. Richard Matthews, 21, Well-street, Swansea, says he ia not the Richard Mat- thews fined at. Swansea Police Court for drunkenness- Wre are receiving quite a number of these disclaimers lately, and we once more desire to emphasise tihe point that it is tbe unsatisfactory system adopted by the police of withholding the addresses of defendants that is responsible for all this annoyance to innocent people.

I FELL THIRTY-FIVE FEET. j SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT SWANSEA I DOCKS. TIPMAN SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES. Shortly before midnight on Thursday a 'si shocking accident befe! a tipman named Philip Williams (23), :0. 8, Stcanest-reet, Swansea, and employed by Messrs. I'owles- land and Mason, at Nr). 1 G.W .R. tip at the Prince of Wales Dock. How it exactly occurred is rxi known, but a machine man named John Williams, of 3, Lee-street. St. Thomas, found his mate lying on the platform of the tip, having ap- parently fallen from the machine-house above, a distance of fully thirty-five feet. I DECEASED, PHILIP WILLIAMS. The unfortunate man, who was m a seri- ous condition, having evidently su-sUmed ous condition, having evidently summed very grave injuries, was tended by P.C. ilfj) Lewis, of the Docks force, and W. John Williams and two other of the workmen. All speed was made for the hospital in the motor-ambulance, and Dr. Petrie there at tended him, finding him to have sustained compound fracture of the right leg, and severe injuries to the head. Williams succumbed to his injuries at 4.15 a.in. on Friday. Deceased bad been at wcrk all day. His If-tthcr is a well-known O.W.R. foreman, and a particularly sad feature about the affair is that Air. and Mrs. Williams only buried a seventeen-year-old daughter j 12 months ago. Deceased wa", their eldest iscn, and was prominently connected with the old Swansea Parochial F.C., and a re- IgulaT attendant at the Rev. Oscar Snelling s meetings. From another account wo learn that a steamer had been leaded at the tip and pre- partitions were being made for the s.s. In- vernesa to go under it. Deceased, when the tip was working, was in a little box on the jtop of the tip. To regulate the shute or "pinion it" into position, deceased had to leave the box and descend a ladder. He j must have fallen from the top to what is known as the. cradle, where he waf, found by hia mates who were in a lodge near by. The poor fellow's face, was dreadfully in- jured, and lie also sustained serious frac- tures of the leg. H wits placed in the lodge aoo the ambuluiKe was promptly summoned. and it arrived in a few minutes in chargc. of P.C. Kennedy.

SWANSEA VALLEY MOTOR VAN DRIVER PROSECUTED AT PONTABr DAWE. BENCH BIAME POST OFFICE AUTHORITIES. Leonard Wm. B-a.iley, Swansea Valley motor-car driver, of Swansea, was summonsd i at Pontardawe on Friday for driving at an excessive speed. Mr. R. T. Loyson deiendeQ, Sexgt. Brown said he timed defendant at G osrajg and saw him do 110 yards in ten seconds. The average width of the road was 14 ft. 6 iris., and aJx;nt thirty men, women and children were on the road. Wlien spoken to defendant said, "I ^ve plenty of warning." Thare have been many <. :1- pdaints, and lie figured it out that defendant had gone at the rate of W,21 an hour. By Mr- Leyton Pie did not suggest there had been any accidents during the four months defendant had been driving. P.C. Thomas corroborated. Mr. Leycisn said defendant had to do ?1 I miles in an hour and 57 minutes, meanwhile stopping at 13 post offices and collecting from five I&bter-boxes. Allowng for these stoppages, defendant had to run 19 miles an hour. He did not do this hr pleasure, but bo muse the postal authoritLo:; demanded jf,. Having regard to the fact > 1.at defendant had no option but to cover the distance in a given time, and that for the five months he had been engaged no accident h••! occurred, he submitted it would be a nn,rsh proceeding to fine the man. "No doubt the driver was going at a r8.te "No doubt the driver was going at a rate dangerous to the public," sand the Chair- man. At the same t'me the 1.if. gist rates felt I the post office officials, and not the ma.n. weie to blame. They thought, the case I shouid stand adjourned, and meanwhile the I post office should be advised that in the opinion of the magistrates ten mi lew an hour allowing for stoppages, was fast enough for the car to go on that particular road.

J. JAY WILLIAMS. I LETTER FROM CALF ARIA CHAPEL. Sir,— Will you kindly permit me a small- space of yom' paper to contradict the state- ments made in your issue of last evening re M/r. Jay Williams's promises and contnbu- tKWis to ('alfaria, Baptist Church, Olydach— fitatements which must have originated in the imagination cf your reporter or that of his informant. It is only fair towards OUT respected pas- tor, the Rev. Valentine Evans, to state that Mr. Jay Williams never contributed 30s. per month towards the ministry. Our min- is ter's salary is made up of the voluntary contrbutions of the members of our church, and M'r. Williams haw not been a member of our church for many years. I Also, the instruments of our band were purchased hv the members of our brass band themselves at their own cost, without any contribution from Mr. Williams. The "promise" of £ 1,0C0 towards a new organ is a pure, invention, and it would be ¡ interesting to know the source whence your reporter get his information. Neither was our chcrrh promised £ 1,000 towards a new chapel. if such a. promise was made to any individuals, it was never made or mentioned to the church. He did contribute in the year 1905 £ 100 towards our Jubilee Fund, and thaf, is the only item in your report which has any foundation in fact. With MT. Jay Williams' philanthropy I have nothing to do in this letter, but simply to correct the mis-statements re his connec- tion with CaHa.ria Church. Olydach. Trust- ing you will be good enough toO give pub- licity to this iafter in the interest of truth and fairness.—I am, yours, etc-. JOHN DAVIES, Secretary of Calia-ria Baptist Church. Bristol House, Clydacb, June 24tl), 1909. [Note.—Our reporter who made the inves- tigations at Olydach, states that with regard to the assertion that Mr. Jay Williams con- tributed 30s. per month towards the min- I istry, he obtained t,he information from a member of Calf aria Baptist Chapel. In re- spect of the band instruments, the fact that the members themselves purchased the instruments does not dispose of the state- ment that Mr. Williams was credited with a promise to supply them. The statement of a promise of £1.000 towards a new organ was based upon a con- versation between r. Williams and a Clydach musician whom Mr. Williams was perr.uading to take a certain course. The promise to contribute £ 1.000 towards a II new chapel, or the innovation of the old, may not have been mentioned f.o the church col- lectively, but we have the authority of two responsible persons that they, at all events, bad been convinced of Mr. Williams' pre- paredness to subscribe to that extent. We accept., of course, the statements of Mr. John Davies as to the extent of his benefac- tions, or promises of such, brought officially to the knowledge of the church, but are con- vinced that our informants testified in good faith.—Ed. "S.W.D.P."] LETTER FROM CALFARlA BAND SECRETARY. Mr. Cornelius Jones (Olydach), the secre- tary cf the CaJfaria Chapel Band, also writes assuring us that of "all the showers of gold in Swansea district not one half- penny of these has fallen into the hands of Calfaria Brae:- Band, nor have we ever had a promise of a single penny from Mr. Williams, to say nothing of a set oi instru- ments. We have heard the talk about the street* of Clydach before, but to let the people know what we got, we have a set oi instruments on loan from Beacon and Co., London, for which wo pay. co much vearly." FURTHER BENEFACTIONS. Additional benefactions by J. Jay Wil- liams are:— Memorial stone .'aying, Llansamlet English C.M. Mission Hall, dnoaiion of f,;3 ;)8.

PRISONER'S COLLIERY PROPERTY PRICE PAID FOR THE CONCERN. Efforts arc still being made to prevent the Lynch Colliery, Llaiimorlais, that is owned by J. Jay Williams (now serving lay claim to the colliery leai-ss, and there: are workmen's claims, amounting to about .S3.000 (including damages for breach of contract). And the probability is that the concern will go into bankruptcy in order that the assets might be fairly distributed. A Cardiu contemporary savs the price paid for the colliery by Williams is stated to have been £15,000, and the statement by his counsel that £ 35,000 has been spent on the undertaking is received with incredulity locally. As'a matter of fact less than £ 5.000 was the purchase price of the Lynch Colliery, and about £ 12,000 as the sum spent on the pro- pertv is vary much nearer the mark.

SWANSEA RAGGED SCHOOL OUTING. CHILDREN'S PLEASANT PICNIC AT LAN GLAND.

Mr. Meager and the committee heartily thank the friends who liberally subscribed towards the outing. The cost of the outing was defrayed from the funds, and not by Mr. Sidney Palmer, as was erroneously stated by us on Thursday.

SWANSEA STREET-WIDENING. The sale of material from the, Castle-street widening operations at Forester's Yaid this week was very well attended, and Mr. A. S. T. LueaiS (the auctioneer) realised very fair prices. Two hund-red and sdxty lots were sold to timber-buyers, farmers, and others. The whole comprised about 500 tons of ma- terials, all in sound condition, having regard to the fact that the buildings date as far batck as 1819—a foundation atone being dis- covered bearing that date.

SWANSEA BANKRUPTCY COUR7 FRIDAY. (Before MT. Registrar S. Home.) FAILURE OF FRUITERERS. '"l|e examination of George Taylor and Sons, fruiterers, late of Union-street, Swan- sea, wa.s, by arrangement with the trustee, farther adjourned, GROCER'S ASSISTANTS VENTURE. Jno. Rees, trading as "J. Reee and Co. Alexandra Stores, 2, Gladstone Buildings, Alexandra-road, Swansea, grocer and pro- vision merchant, came up with grces lia- bilities £ 360; expected to rank £ 339, and deficiency 219a Causes: "No capital, heavy expenses?- and not sufficient tomover." The Official Receiver's observations on this case have previously been published. Debtor, who was formerly a grocer's assist- ant, said he traded only for four months. He started with J640, borrowed from a money-lender, to whom he gave a promis- -sory note for £ 52 10s. JB41 10s. was owing still. He started in business on his own account because he ha.d been in the town ten years, and with the two assistants he took with him he thought they could estab- lieh a connection. Tlie business had never paid; the net-t loss in trading was JB126. The markets had gone against the debtor. The stock-in-trade debtor estimated at JB160. The Official Receiver asked if debtor thought the stock would realise that. Debtor said he did not know. The Official Receiver said he did not wonder that the debtor got into difficulties and came to grief in four months. He char- acterised his method of accounts as very careless. "Why didn't you adopt the same method as your previous employers?" askod the Official Receiver. Debtor said he had no capital. "That's nothing to do with it," oorrtnmed the Official Receiver. "What justification had you to go into business?" Debtor said he thought he should succeed. Asked about JS104 owing to David Jones, Liverpool, debtor said the traveller knew he had borrowed money to start. Proceeding, debtor said his takings were about J355 a week. He estimated his gross profits at four per cent. Registrar: Do you really mean that? Debtor said that was what he thought. A month before he filed be knew he could not pay in full. The examination was adjourned, the first meeting of creditors not having yet been held. LI AN SAMLET SPELTERMAN. Wm. Thomas, 6, Felin Newydd-terraoe, Neath-road, Llansamlet, epelterman, was called for his examination, but did not respond. The Registrar asked if the Official Re- ceiver thought it was a case of contumacy. The Official Receiver said he did not think so. The case was accordingly adjourned. The gross liabilities in this case were £102; ex- pected to rank ditto, and deficiency £89. GORSEINON GROCER'S AFFAIRS. Joshua Williams, 60, High-street, Gor- seinon, grccer, came up with gross liabilities £602; expeated to rank JB536, and deficiency £315. The causes were "want of capital, bad debts, depression in tcadet and loes by fire." Dtbtor filed his petition in consequence of being unable to obtain further credit and the levying of an execution on his effecta. In answer to the Official Receiver debtor said he had furnished what accounts he couJd he kept no account of receipts and payments. Asked why this was go, debtor said he had no training in bookkeeping. The Official Receiver said it was a simple matter to keep an account of receipts and payments. Debtor agreed he had been negligent, and the jBlOO he had put down as net loss for carrying on business from May 27th, 1908, to date of receiving order, might ha.ve been more. The Official Receiver said it might be his duty on some future occasion to report that the debtor did not satisfactorily account for his 3.<;s.ç t.e;. Debtor said that in May last year he estimated his excess of liabilities over assets at -£76. His average turnover was J625 a week, and" ha estimated his gross 'protits at ten per cent. Official Receiver: You have been contract- ing debts during the past twelve months. What belief had you that you conid repay? Debtor sa.id he had hoped to, but that trade had been slack, especially amongst the colliers. Registrar: Did any of your creditors know your position? Debtor: No, sir. Registrar: Then doesn't it strike you it was very unjust to keep obtaining credit when you knew your position? Debtor sa.id he recognised that now. He further stated he owed his brother-in-law B64, for money borrowed. He admitted that he had sold his horse to Mr. Timothy Jones because the latter had favoured him. Debtor said five days before Ids bank- ruptcy he paid over to the Goraeinon In- stitute, of which he was treasurer, J636. Ho had taken the monies to pay his accounts. The Registrar characterised this as very unsatisfactory. The examination was adjourned for an amended account. Mr. Harold Williams (Goreeinon) repre- sented the debtor.

| THE CONGO SCANDALS, ) BELGIUM'S ASSURANCES. GREAT BRITAIN'S REPLY. A White Paper containing further corres- t pondence respecting the Congo State was ssued on Friday. In a memorandum transmitted to the British Government, the Belgian Foreign Minister repeats on behalf of his Govern- ment tho assurances previously given of the latter"s determination to ensure the pro- motion of civilisation in Africa, and de clares the Belgian movement will not fail to give effect to their intentions. After re- ferring to the pointe raised by the British Government, the memorandum expresses the hope that it wili be understood in Eng- land how painful it is tor Belgian people to see their intentions called in question. Belgians are resolved to develop and ad. vance the groat work accomplished by the lounder of the independent state. Neither in Africa nor in Europe wiil they fail in l their duty, nor will they fail short of that which tbe civilised world expects of them. The British Government, in their reply, refer to the question of forced labour, and say they cannot give recognition to this state of things, and they are <?ure the Be!- gy-n Government desire to put an end to it, for it is indistinguishable from slavery. They are anxious to rccoguise the Belgian Gpvernment of the Congo, but cannot do so until it is clear that abuses of taxation and forced labour have ceased, and that the treatment of natives has been assimi- lated to that found in other European Col- onize.
