RESTORES Will POWER. A Ourefor Drink Craving. Philanthropists, sociologists, and politicians I\r8 agreed that drcnkennesB is one of the gravest ivila prevalent in this country, and it is obvious that a remedy for it would come as a national benefaction. It is claimed that tbe Normyl treatment supplies such a treatment. The treatment is a combination of innocuous vegetable drugs, and is taken by the patient onee in every working hear for twenty-four hours The result is said to be relief from the craving and restora- tion of wiil power sufficient to make relapses im- probablH, The Notmyl treatment was discovered by Mr Hutton Dixon, a Canadian chemist, and exploited by him in the Dominion with pro- nounced success. It was first brought to England by Mrs Aimed Brooke, and last year it was thoroughly tested by tboRev.;EIugb B. Chapman, a South London clergyman. An association was formed to interest itself 10 the extension of the knowledge of tbe remedy. Tbe names of its committee are perhaps the beat possible recommendation tbe treatment could have. Mt Cecil Chapman, tbe police magistrate, la tbe chairman. Ha baa as col- leagues the Primate of Ireland, the Bishopi of I Chichester, and Soutbwark, Lord Armstrong, Sir Arthur Wilson, Canon Scott Holland, Mr Stephon Simeon, and Mr A. W. Bartlett, with the Rev. H. B. Chapman as secretary, and Mr Owe t Seaman as treasurer. Of 700 cases treated bv the association, leas than 5 per cent., it is claimed, were failures. The association intends to make no profits, but to devote any revenue that may be derived from the sale of the treatment to the furtherance of the cause. At present the treatment is being sold at the lowest possible price—three Raineas. bat It II hoped that a farther considerable redaction will be practicable. A small royalty ia charged at present by the inventor of the treatment, but arrangements have been made whereby the pre- acription will become the property of the associa- tion, which will then be in a position to hand it over to the medical world. The address of the association is 87, Victoria-street, London, S. W.

ADULT CHILDREN'S CLAIM. Novel Compensation Award. In the City of London Court on Tuesday hill Honour Judge RentoUl, K.C gave a decision in an action brooght under the Workmen's Com- pensation Act by William, Maud, and Alice Hnt- full, of Markbouae-road, Ley ton. aged 25, 26, and 28 years respectively, son and daughters of Alfred Ilatfall, stonemason, who was killed while working for the defendants, John Green- wood (Limited), builders, Arthur-street West, London Bridge. One of the daughters eaid she waft housekeeper to ber father, and ber siate? helped her mother, who eariied on a dressmaking busineaa, but who, unfortunately, died four days Before bar father met with tbe accident which caused his death. The son stated that for the past 18 months be ad donu no work, although ha admitted tbat Until then be had been earning 25s a week. Defendants contended that tbEt cJaim was en- tirely novel, and they had never known adult children making a claim as dependents ander the Workmen's Compensation Act before. The claim was absolutely unique, and tbe Legislature could never have intended such a claim to succeed. There was no reason why the three grown-up claimants oculd not earn their own living. Judge Rentoul, K.C., bad bad doubts as to whether Parliament intended to benefit as de- pendents the grown-up chilcuen of workmen who tnet with an accidunt, and were killed while in employment, and be bad, regard to the novelty of the case, reserved judgment. He now decided to award £100 to each of the daughters, but nothing to the son.

MERTHYR HOUSING QUESTION. Inquiries for Sites, A meeting of the Housing of the Working Classes Committee of the Mertbyr Town Council was held on Tuesday evening, Alderman D. W. Jones presiding. Mr LI. Francis was elected vice-chairman. It was reported that the arrears of rents on tbe Council's housei at* Penydarrcn amounted to jE51 10a 3d, but th. collectors reported tbat they were making efforts to sec the amounts cle&rod by instal- ments. The Chairman said he thought; tbey were rented at too high a figure to attract the beat class of tenant, and the accountant was directed to furnish a statement of revenue on tbe basin of a reduced rental, As to tbe fntnre course of action tbe Chairman said the old Council bad decided to build 200 bouses in various parts of the parish, and of various sizes, in order to meet the conditions existing in each area. Their chief difficulty was the obtaining of land, and at present the only promise of a nuitable site waa tbat made tv Messrs Guest, Kaeri and Nettle folds who offered sitps at 2d a yard. He re- marked that as the housing question waa a test question at the elections it wa3 certain they would have a larger measure of sympathy in future for public opinion wo« fally alive to the importance of the subject. This would perhaps enable them to get over difficulties with more easo than previously. Mr Fr&nh JameB hoped tbe matter would be comprehensively treatBtl by the Council, for it was of serious moment, and should be dealt with properly and drastically. The Chairman said tbey were in hopes that they would soon have legislation to deal with slam areas in sucb a. way that they would not became a burden upon the rates. Peisonally be felt that it was a shame tbat owners of such property should be paid when they were removed. It was stated that tbe new committee were not tied in any way as to their actions by the deci- sions of the oU committee, and it was decided to make fresh inquiries for suitable building lapd.

With regard to diphtheria, Dr. Daviea reported that in company with the surveyor and inspec- -j tor, he visited the North Ward (Beaufort) early in December, relative to a serious outbreak which bad been prevalent in the South-street and Williams-row portions of that ward, and foand ample cause for such outbreak in the absence of any proper system of drainage. Those portions of the ward, ho stated, together with Lower- square, had been repeatedly inepocted and re- ported npon, but so far nothing had been done to remedy Ibe deplorable condition of affairs that now existed, and was a direct menace, not only to the lives of tbe inhabitant* of the imme- diate neighbourhood, but of those of the neigh bouring townships. The surveyor suggested a scheme which would remedy the defective drain- age, and wan instructed to carry it ouC.

WALES v. NEW ZEALAND. -— ■"»' A Welsh Triumph. SATURDAY'S ORE-AT GAME. Described by Old Stager." In staying the all-conquering career of the New Zealanders at Garcliff on Saturday, the Welsh team gained the most sensational victory in the history of the Rugby same. The Colonials came to Wales supported bv a scries of 27 vic- tories, unequalled in scoring record, tbeir tale of points being 801 to 22, they had defeated the national sides of England, Scotland and Irelaqd, and tbev faced the players of the Principality at a time of transition whin many great backs had practically retired, and there was a temnorary dearth of conspicuous merit among the youth of tbe comparatively nmall area from which the re- presentatives of Cymru cau be chosen. As the Colonials went on from triumph to triumph Welshmen realised the gravity of their took, and patriotism asserting mastery over personal pre- dilections the members of the Old Guard" who have contributed so much to the maintenance of the prestige of tbe Welsh national game found thuir eourifry'a eall irresistible. Walss was not to be humiliated. ItemponEe to taunts from some critics who profess tn know ao much and possess very little know- ledge of the Welsh stylo and players was made by careful preparation for the match, and to the enrneatnaas displayed in the few practices, the generalship, advice, and piay of the so-called old crocks on the main line of a clovecly conceived plan of campaign is attributable tbe proud position in which Wales stands to-day. The match provided A Titanic Struggle it was a test of physique greater than I have ever 3een on the football field, but it was a greater trial of courage and of that really U12- dafinable something generally referred to a keeping head" and nerve." The Welshmen entered the fray handicapped. They were adopt- ion a hybrid atylefor the occasion. Following the example of every club, county, and cooutry who had met the Now Zealandera they were opposing them with the same number of men in the for wards. True to their traditions in not blindly imitating the home players put to trial the various methods utilised by the defeated teams to prevent the Colonials getting constant use of the ball for their backs, and finding them nearly all wanting thay evolved a novel formation forward, and this served the side splendidly, though it .wats not as effective as it was expected to prove in spoiling the hookers." They pre- vented the New Zealand Bcmrnmagers forming up two against one, and every scrum found each of the hookers with a man im- mediately in front cf him. For tho greater portion of the game the Welsh for- wards not only limited the number of times the opposing seven secured the ball, but commanded it themselves sufficiently often to have brought off three or four scores against an ordinary national side, anil it was from a clean best that Owen started the clever movement in which Pritcbard and Gabe took part and which led to dlorgan making The Only Score of the Game. This try waa typical of Walsh back play at its best, ;,nd really was the only general movement in which the orthodox Welsh style of passing was exhibited. There was no semblance of flolte about any of the transfers-it was gained by tha quintessence of skill. In tha second half, however, for long periods the heavier weight with aystematised attitokof the New Zealand pack made itself felt, and their backs had chance after chance in quick succession. Now it was that the Colonials ahoufd have won. Splendid chances for driving home attack they were, too. for; as Gallaher shielded Roberta by obstructing the Welsh backs, the half-back was set going under the best circumstances for opening-making. And Roberts made the most of his opportunities, too, but there was no other back on his side who did not blunder in taking passea or fail to give up the ball at the exact moment to a colleague. This was an unexpected breakdown, and it was fortunate for Wales tbat it came at this stage cf the game. Think of what would happen if Owen could have got away the bail to his backs from five successive scrummages I The Colonial backa made mull after mull, and had the handling been aafe, despite the heroic the defence, the line must have been crossed more than once. Now it was, too, that Wales Showed Unbeatable Resourcefulness. Appreciating that it was useless waate of strength always to keep pushing hard for the ball only to lose it the Welsh forwards did grandly in foot- work and tackling. C. M. Priichard and Joseph mado brilliant tackles, while Harding ving tho leader in dribbling rushes when the ball waa missed by tha opposing backs. Then, too. the valuo of Cliff Pritcbard as an extra back was made apparent, for each Wolah back covered his iaimediiite opponent, and timing the passes to a tick they upaet the customary formation of New Esaiand behind the scrummage, and by forcing premature passes through going boldly for the man with the ball they compelled transfers to be given without regard to the correct position of the man for whom the ball was meant. For a while interceptions were frequent, and tho New Zealanders' five-eights and three-quarters daring not to pass with greater chance of inter- ception than of someone being 11 up" to carry on the attack pioved bow demoralised they bad become by Kicking Bang Into Winfield's Hands repeatedly. This kicking waa oftener thp-n not done as an opponent was almost completing a tackle, and was reminiscent of the fctyle of George Young, back in the early days of I he Cardiff team, and T. W, Pearson is the only Welata player of recent years who could kick BO quickly. Percy Bush is easily the best man in Wales to day at tbiaqaick kicking,and knowledge that be might drop a goal helped to embarrass the visiting backs. Winfield, whose safe touch-finding could not have been eclipsed, oftentimeshad 20 yards'room so tbat the punting, was useless, and it lost ground on every occasion, and was in marked contrast to the high abort pacta pnt in daring the first half, when, had any of the Welsb backs failed in fielding, there was every probability of scoring, for the whole of the New Zeal-inderis backed up admirably. Twice New Zealand Nearly Scored, and come of the Colonials assert they sbonld have been awarded a try. This was when Wallace made a grand rnn cn the left wing. What hap. pened exactly was unseen by me, as my view of the far wing was obstructed at this point. The facts, as I have been able to gleara them from the players, are that Wallace received the ball from a kick, and with bead down started off at top pace. Llewellvn ran to meet him with a view of holding him, or of compelling him to cross the tcnch-line, but the Welsh right tvinger slipped when going for his man at full speed, and failing to recover, fell. At the same moment Wallace swerved inwards, and to aAoid Nicholls and Winfield he came in again to the wing, and, passed to Oeans. Morgan sprinted across from the left wing, and helped Winfield to sava what otherwise would have been a try by tackling DeanB before be grounded the bail, and, though a splendid effort was made by the centre three. qaarter to straggle over, timely reinforcements came to Morgan, and the ball waa grounded be. tween two and three feet from ths line, though Daana considers he grounded the ball in goal. This Was Hard Luck, but Dot a whit worse than that whicb came to Llewellyn early in the first half, when he ghad the misfortune to lose the ball when there was absolutely no defence to beat. The next, and only other occasion when the New Zealanders looked like scoring was from a scrum in the goal mouth. The ball was booked out slick to Roberts with surprising quickness, and there was every probability of his scoring himself, but he paaBed to Mynott, who was through had Nicholl-i not banged into him. An atterapp, to push him through when be was tackled, as he could not paea the ball," fortunately failed. Play in The Final Ten Minutes was thrilling in incident. McGregor and Mynott missed parses when the position looked bright for a score, and then Nicholla made the most magnificent run of the day, which would probably have ended in a sonaational score if Harding had been able to steady himself. This was an exgpaple of the way to change stern defence into clever attack of a character seldom equalled even on a Welsh ground, and it saved the strain upon tbe sorely taxed defenders, even if it did not save the match itself. I have attempted to convey to those outside the 45,000 people who wore lucky tfoough to wit- ness a never-to-L-e-formottau game the salient incidents in the aotual play, There were other points which had a potent influence on the issue such as the refereeing and injury to plucky little Owen, who was "nevar daunted though he waa cruelly used on beapa of occasions, and waa fortunate to emerge from the contact with no more serious damage than a displaced chest cartilage. Though not a man on the Welsh aide failed to contribute his quota to the victory ) the names that will be moat prominently asso- ciated with the match will be Owen, Niobolls, Winfield, and tho Ltitchards. Elsewhere I have written at length in praise of the referee- ing, and in condemnation of aotna of what I ijavs bad no hesitation in describing a'S Unsporting Devices Adopted by the Colonials. Gnllaber'a varied ways of putting the ball into the Ecrimma-s are clatiped as extremely olever by the New Zealandars, and his shielding of Robrta by actively obstructing his would-bo tacklers is considered to be absolutely atraight- forward play down undir. In justice to Gallaher, who off the field is a au agreeable disappointment to those who con- clnoe from his play that he is bot. tempered, tie is a nice-mannered man and 008 of tho social successes of his team. Tie maintain!} tbat bo is entitled to do all be tioes by the strict letter cf the laws of the gkwe, aud regstdi tho rebounding of the ball in line with where he puts it into the scrummage as being equally as fair aa if it were heeled to bim. He also denies that he puts bias on the ball or tsviBtB it into his hooker*' possession. Ha accounts for tbe speed with wbioh the ball comes Ollt of be Sartl m mae by Praising the Skilled Hookers, Ho is supported by nil the members of the team I aud tbey direct attention to the prejudicing of | tbfir eapUtia's eaQQoei ttrou^b his failure to do justice to his skill because be has to wait in every match until he knows what the referee will allow ancl what he will not before he can settle into his style. It is sporting of his colleagues to backup their captain, but the laws of the game must be observed, and whatever the interpretation put upon them in Now Zealand theteisnoreason whatever why that'interpregation ubocild be acted upon here after retention baa been calied to the infringements. It is certainly Dot playing the game to be continually endeavouring to outwit the referee for the benefit of one's side, for it was made ebvious on an any occasions in the match that the ball was Not Grounded Into the Scrummage as the laws expiesseJv require. Gallaheir's swerving of the ball Wr.n checked because the referee kept view from the far side of the scrum, but though this position was the bett to detect; the profitable swerving it gtva Gallaher a free hand for his rebounding trick." With an indifierent roferce or r.ne controlled by senti- meat Walea might easil vhave been the defeated side, and by a taU scorej for no defence can cope with some of ths dodges of the New Zealand captain. It is an unpleasant task to have to write in this manner, but it is time publicity is given to what is a blot on the fame of the Colonials, who have abown they are thoroagb footballex4 quite good enough to win most of their matches with- out resort to what is here treated as mere rricki- neas in open defiance of the laws of tbe game. -==-=-r-

Brawling in Chapel. -.q. WICK BREWER HEAVILY FINED. Lewis Harry, brewer, Wick, Bridgend, wao summoned at Bridgend on Saturday for riotous and violent behaviour in the Welsh Oalviniatic Methodist Chapel, VNick, on tbo 8tb November, at the anniversary service when the Rev. E. P. Jones, Cardiff, waa the preacher. Mr T. J. Hughes (Messrs Hughes and Lewiu, Bridgend) prosecuted on behalf of Mr William Morgan Jenkins, chapel secretary, Mr Trevor Hunter, Port Talbot, defended. Mr Hnghas said that, happily, cases of this kind were of great rarity. As indicative of his client's desire net to cause friction, he wished to say at the earliest momÐpt that if defen- attat would express regret, promise not to repeat such conduct, and pay the expenses, the church was willing to let the matter drop. Mr Hunter said that Mr Harry eotild not agree to pay the expenses, for ho did not acknowledge that he had committed an offence, though be might have acted very foolishly; therefore it seemed that the case ruut go ou. Mr Hughes Very weli. The offer was made in good faith. Ue then pioceeded with the case, explaining tbat Mr Harry rented a pew at the chapel, but on this occasion be arrived at the service an bour late, and In accordance with custom all the rented pews that ba.d not been taken by their owners ha3 bean filled with visitors. Mr Jenkins, who was on duty at the door, invited Mr Harry to take another Beat in the body of the chapel, but be declined, and then Mr Jenkins invited him to a. Boat in The galiery. Mr Harry, however, took up a position on the Blep» of the gallery. A3 the preacher was expa- tiating on the evils 0f drunkenness, Mr Harry audibly dissented, nUlking a granting noise, which waa heard all over tbe chapel. Mr Jenkins want to bim quietly and begged him to rioaist, and Mr Harry then tramped heavily down the ataira and went away- IDQZ he returned and took up hia position again on the ataira of the gailprv. The preacher was referring to the case of a yoang tran who had fallen away through drink but had reformed owing to It letter written by his mother Mr Harry shouted out in P, iond voice. WgLs that Mr Moriia ? Waa that Mr Morris ?" Mr Jenkins spoke to him again, and be again went away and the meeting was closed, everybody being considerably upset. MrJenkina, on the instructions of the church, afterwards wrote Mr 4thrry asking for an ex- planation of bis conduct and fOl' an undertaking that it should not be repeated. To this Mr Harry replied with a letter written in 9 sarcastic vein, in which be professed surprise that in these re- vival days, when it was the province of everyono and anyone to set up anel take part in the ser- vice. that his participation sboald cause so moch commotion. He would ivean undertaking not to repeat his conduct if. inslguctions were given to the preachers which wontd prevent them say- ing things which roused the spirit within him and caused it to speak aloud. Mr W. M. Jenkins, the chatch secretary, gave evidence beating out the statements of Mr Hugbes. He said that Mr Harry was not ? very regular attendant and therefore was not expected this night after the commencement of the service. Witnesses who were seated in the big pew at the far end of the chapel were called to Bay that they fistinctly beard Mr Harry's interruptions, and were much disturbed. Mr Hunter contended that as ejaculations of accord were customary in Noncontormist places of worship, and were not contiiderect "riotous and violent," he could not for the life of him see why cjaculatious of dissent made in the a&me way could be so described. No doubt defendant had acted very foolishly, and wVlsBorIv for it now. Defendant said that be had told the care- taker he would want hia pew at the Buriivereaty service, and he was a bit vexod when bo found it had been filled. All be eairi during the service was Mr Morris twice. He walked heavily down the stairs because he couldn't help is he waa a very heavy man. Two witnesses said they btard no granting, and lilr Harry's remarks about Mr Morris enneed scarcely any disturbance at all. The Chairman (Mr it. W. Llewellyn) said that the magistrates vary vinch regretted the case had not been settled oat of court as snggibeted. The magistrates were glad to say that it was aimcat an unheard of thing for them to have to try a case of this sort. Baity would be fined £ 5.

THE FOOTLESS MAN CASE. What the jary at the Glaaiotgan Assises had to determine, says the Pall Mall Gazette," was whether truth was more incredible than fiction, or fiction than truth, and which was which. Fiction, they find, is that the man fell out of a carriage in which the railway people vowed he had never been, though a door which they vowed had never come open, in consequence of a jerk which nobody else had felt; that, although he weighed 15at. 61b., and the train was going at 28 miles an hour, be bai no mark bat a slight scratch on the brows that be lay acci- dentally bo that another train paieed over his ankles, exactly as if be had placed himself with mathematical accuracy for the purpose that be had three handkerchiefs for binding up hia legs, and a guoply of publications with insurance coupons, by mere accident; and that his predic- tions to sundry persons of exactly such a muti- leltion of himself were the outcome of a warning dream. Truth, the jury were convinced, was that the MPD was never in the tlllin; bot deli. berately sacrificed his legs, fine, strong man though he was, and proud of his uppcarance, for the sake of E500. In a novel this would have been pronounced incredible, in Spite of any de- fensive references by the author to eelf-mutila- tion in avoidance of military Service or the press- gang, to wilful leg-breaking on tbo treadmill, and to suicides of chinamen for their family's sake. But there it is. Edward Samuel May is the man who has doue the Thing that CoaJdn 't- and got nothing for it except tbe loss of his feet.

Husband & Housekeeper. | AFFECTIONATE HOLIDAY EPISTLE. Cardiff Engineer Summoned.. r At Absrgavennv Borough Police Court on Wed. nesdav Henry Hampton, described as a hot water engineer, of Cardiff, was summoned at the instance of bis wife, Elizabeth Eliza Hamptori, for deserting her aod neglecting to provide rea- sonable maintenance for her children. plainant, for wborn Mr J. It. Jacobs appeared, applied also for a. separation oider and for the ciiatody of tho children. Mr Harold Lloyd, Car. diff, represented the defendant. Mr Jacobs, in bi3 opening statement, said the nartit-3 were married on Easter Sunday, 1894, complainant being a widow with one child t and defendant a. widower with children of bitt own. There wore four children of the present marriage, 10, 8, 6, and 2. The couple lived very unhappily, but nibbed on till the opening of the present year, when an occurrenro happened which led to great unpleasantness. Tbe oanso of tbe unpleasantness was a bonae- keeper. At Easter the attention of Mis Hampton was called by defendant'a own daughter to tho way in tfllich her husband was treating this housekeeper. Mrs Hampton remonstrated with her huaband and unpleasantness enaned. Shortly afterwards tha housekeeper went away to Brighton for her holidays. She wrote to Mia Hampton asking (ar au axtension of her holidayg and subsequently to Mr Hampton, whom she Addressed as My Dearie. This latter communication fixed an arrange- ment to meet Mr Hampton in Loudon, and tbe meeting (according to Mr Jacobs) actually took place. The letter concluded, With fondest love, in great basts, Joey." Mr Jacobs atatsd that defendant bad on a nnoiber of occasions been guilty of cruelty towards bis wife. By Mr Lloyd: Will-yon take him back again ? Mr Jacobs, after consulting with bis client, said she was prepared to return if her husband got rid of the houaeksoper altogether, but Mrl, Hampton wouid not coha.bit with him. Mr Jacobs, speaking on the question of means, Baldcompl&inant-,wfeen she married defendant,had money of her own, but bar husband bad relieved her of the marriagetand her in- come had been reduced by other circumstnncas. Her husband had been in the Bankruptcy Court, and hia son carried on business at Cardiff as a bot-water engineer. Defendant was tho manager, And be practically took all tho money. The business was worth at least £200 or £300 a, year. Mrs Hampton did not ask for maintenance for herself, but only for her children. Mr Harold Lloyd denied desertion. Mrs Hampton tore out Mr Jacobs' opening statement that the married life she bad led had not been happy. Unpleasantness a.rose after the ¡ engagement of Sarah Jones, the housekeeper, wl1n waa known to her huabaud prior to ber en- gagement. Mra Jones was a married woman who lived apart from her husband. Referring to the letter addressed by Jones to Mr Hampton, Mr Jacobs asked bow the housekeeper came to be Known as Joey." It wa." a. niobtiaHie given bar by the baby, who conld not say Jones, and therefore called ber Joey." The husband, when be met the bousekesoer in London, went away without saying where be was going. From Easr until witness returned from ber bolidaya in June abe bad not cohabited with defendant. Witness spoke to an afternoon when, after she bad spoken to a clerk about some office matters, the husband put hia fiat up to ber face and threatened her. Subsequent to this he actrally strack hec with his fist. Witness on this occasion, viz., November 6th, took np a. pair of scissors in the and threatened to strike defendant, but did not do so. That afternoon be went away, and witness bad not seen anything of bim since. Replying to Mr Llord, Mra Hampton said she knew that Jones at the time of her engagement was married and separated from her husband. Mr Lloyd Did yon suggest to her ahu aboald take off ber ring?—Yea, because it would be awkward for me to explain to Btrangers that silo was separated from ber husband. Her attention waa first called to the behaviour of her huaband towArdaJones by Hampton's own daughter. What position does she occupy in this bouse ?' Miss Hampton asked. Is she misties* or what ia she ?" Witness did not tbink anything improper bad taken place between Jones and ber husband. She tbought, however, tbat her husband treated her far too familiarly. She did not remonstrate with Jones, it was true, but she became cooler towards ber. Mr Lloyd: During the following months did you not knock your husband about and make bim aa miserable as possible ?—No only when be tried to make me miserable. Refused to Cohabit. Did you refuse to cohabit with your husband —Yes, before tbe housekeeper went away for her holidayg. Yoa yourself went away, leaving your husband and the housekeeper borne together.— Yes; bat 1 advised ber to have a friend witb her. Do you suggest tbatyoar husband has com- poitted adultery ?—No. Why you refuse to cohabit with him ? —I have soen iiitii sHoke Jones's hand, and con- sidered be was altogether too familiar. Witness said she telegraphed to Brighton to ascertain if her husband and Jonea had stayed together, but had failed to find put. Witness ceased to cohabit with her husband after the 22nd August, Defendant, after tbe departure of Joues, told witness be still had Jonea under his protection be must protect ber as witness was trying to take away her good name. Mr Lloyd: Do you suggest that your boaband has soen Mrs Jones since sbe went away ?-YeB, at Cardiff; he baa told me so bimaelf. Did you atrike your huabund on the 28th August?—Yes; I knocked bim over a chair (Laugh tar.) Mr Lloyd: From tbat time down to tbe time your husband left you, did you not continually use violence towards him and make bis life prac- tically a bell upon earth ?—No. Did you not remind him that tho business was yours ?—Yes. And told bim to clear out ?—No. It was true, however, that abe did so subsequently. The Clerk said the whole of tbe cane hinged upon the fact as to whether the buabsnd bad committed adultery. Mr Jacobs contended that even if be failed to prove adultery, there wan reasonable ground why the woman tihould not cohabit witb her husband. Witness admitted to MrLicyd having given in- Btrnctiona in November to have the bouse barri- caded so that her husband could not come back. Tbat was after defendant had struck her. De- fendant bad always denied tbat he had behaved improperly towards Jonea. Witness said ber private income was at present under £300 a year, and tbat aftor meeting various claims she had JE190 left. Sbe believed tbe busineaa yielded quite A Settlement. Mr Lloyd Let me put it to you again betore sitting down. You say that after the receipt of tba Brighton letters yoa atill allowed tbe house- keeper to come back to the house ?—Yes. Tbe Court then adjourned. Mr Jacobs, addressing their Wovahipa, said thbt since the adjournment he had bad a eon- veraation with Mr Lloyd, and they had come to au arrangement which would relieve their Wor- shins of further consideration. Tbey had arranged to diawup a deed, under which the defendant would pay towards the maintenance of his children. He would therefore nak them to adjaarn the case for a month. The Magistrates contented to this course. Mr Lloyd said he would like to say, on behalf of Mrs Jonea, who was the manageress of a well- known Cardiff restaurant, that abe was prepared to go into tbe witness-box and deny in toso the allegation of adulrery. She was only witb Mr Hampton in London altogetber about ten minutes. Mr Hampton wap also prepared to go into the witneaa-box and deny the allegation of adult«ry. _—— -J;

Monmouthshire Trains. WESTERN VALLEY SERVICE. Inadequate Facilities. CONFERENCE OF COUNCILS AT NEWPORT. On the initiative of Ebbw Vale District Council a conference of representatives of local authori- ties in the Western Valleys was held at the Connty Council offices, Newport, on Wednesday to consider railway facilities ia the Valleys, Mr Alfred Jones, Ebbw Vale, presided, and Mr T. Sughea, clerk of the Ebbw Vale District Coaneil, was appointed secretary. Pdt Morgan, Ebbw Vale, referred to the beavy traffic in the Western Valleys and the obligation of the Great Western Railway Company to oravide better facilities for the public. Be gave instances where improvements could be effected, remark- ing that at the Crumlin Station there seemed to be an effort not to meet the convenience of tbe public. They should have more trains or a aeries of motor trains. Mr W. Thomas, Aber- bueg, urged that they shCinld bave another station at Six Bells Mr Pritchard, Kisca, referred to the miserable àirtr carriages," and the apology for livbt in the railway carriages in the Valleys. The trains sboold also run oftener and later. They had a train from New- part to the Valley at 6.30 p.m., and the next one, and the last, was at 9.20. Thay also desired cheaper i fares, more market trains, and early morning trains for workmen. Mr E. B. Davies, Aber- carn, said there was no railway station at Owm. carn. He thought they should have a motor service to meet the present trains. Mr Harris, Ebbw Vale, contended that workmen's compart- inonts should ba provided on all trains. Tho trains in the Western Valley were far leas thau tbe Taff Vale Railway provided in the Rbondda Valley. Hfe thought all this waa due to the fact that the Great Western Railway had a monopoly in the district. Mr W. Thomas, Aberbeeg, eaid they should have another railway in the Valley, or they should make some effort to induce some authority to ran a service of electric trama from Newport to the top of the Valleys. On the motion of Alderman Haffan, it was resolved to ask the Great Western Railway authorities to reoaiios deputation. Other speakers spoke in favour of a motor service between Ebbw Vale, A.berbceg, and Nantyglo, aa well as second claar fares tbrougbout the Valleys. On the motion of Alderman Raffan a deputa- tion was appointed to visit on the G.W.R. authorities with a view to diacucsisg the sug- gested improvements named above,

NEW CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES. The selection of Mr EmmoH for the Cbftif- manabip of Committees is one of the aurprieas of the Ministerial appointments. It bad been generally understood that Mr Winston Churchill's senior colleague in the representa- tion of Oldham would bave been offered the post | of Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade. Mr Emmott has had no experience of the i Mr. A Emmott, M.P. j chair, and baa only been in the House of Com- mom Bix years. But his speeches ou trade, j municipal and foreign problems have favourably impressed tbe House. Witb .'be cool, firm tern- parament of which chairmen are made, he should prove a success. Mr Emmott is an Oldham cotton bpinner, and brought to Westminster tbÐ ] glamour of a successful business carreer. CARDIFF WOMAN'S NEGLEC, I I A widows named Teteaa Burke (27) was brought op at Cardiff Police Court on Wedneaday (before Alderman Thomaa and Mr James Allan) on a warrant charged with neglecting ber three children in auch a manner as to canae them un- necessary Buffering, at Halket-atraet.

They were covered with sote3 and in an extremely filthy conditidn. Tbe prisoner had been living with a roan at one of the addresses at which she bired rooaia. Sbe had been warned repeatedly, and at last was indnoed to take the children to the Workhouse and go there herself. Shortly afterwards, however, sbe left and took the children with her, giving aa her excuse that at the Workhouse they made her work. Before they left the Workhouse the children and the mother were provided with a new outfit. Evidence was called to bear out tbia state- ment, and defendant was rent to gaol for a I month.

NEGLECTED COLLIERY HORSES. John Wicks, of Bream, the chief man in con- nection with the management of tbe horses at the Princess Royal Colliery, Dean Forest, was sum- moned at Coleford Police Court on Wednesday by Mr pharleB Oook, the colliery tpanager, for contravening one of the special roles, ntuxmly, neglecting to report the condition of the bonsea in the minea. Tho evidence wus that one of I the mines inspectors had viaited the colliery, and complained of the condition of tho horses. Subsequently Mr J. S. Martin, Chief Inspector of Mines for tbo Forest, wrote saying the condi- tion of the hoxaes was unsatisfactory.
