SWANSEA COUNTY COURT. I Disputed Order. On Tuesday, before Judge Brvn Roberts..T. A. Bailey, of Alexandra-road, Swansea, cork and bottle merchant, brought an action against Thomas Dennis, licensee of the Belle Vup V aults, to recover £ 5 Is lOd. the value of certain jars. The defence was that delivery was refused on the ground that they had never been ordered, and judgment on this defence was given for defendant with costs. Interesting Question of Jurisdiction. A motion was made to strike out certain proceedings brought by the owner of the ss Penshurst, of London, against the Coal Trades Company. Limited, Amsterdam, for the'recovery of £ 21 14s, a balance alleged to be due for freight. Mr Phillips (Ingledew, Sons and Philips), appeared for plaintiffs and Mr Meager, (instructed by Mr J. R. Richards) de- leneded. The ground on which the motion was based was that there was want of jurisdiction, the defendant company being a Dutch com- pany, having no pla-ce of business in Kngland, and carrying on no trade in England, the con- tention being that defendants bought their coal through the Western Valleys Company, over which it. bad no control, and that a bra;ss a;s.'j lale outside the offices of the Western Valleys Company, bearing the name of the de- fendant company, was merely placed there as a guide to captains. For the plaintiffs it was stated that the defendants on their letter head- ing stated that the places where they did business were amongst others, Swansea and Llaneliy, and that there was a brass plate bearing in large letters' outside the offices of the Western Valley Company, t,he name of the de- fendant company. Several affidavits were read, after which Mr Meager submitted in order to establish jurisdiction a foreign company must- have a place of business, and at it. someone in its employ. In support he quoted several cases. Mr Phillips followed for the plaintiffs, and said all the cases uuoted for defendants were cases where the firms traded in England under the same name as abroad. The defendant company, however. traded abroad as a Steenkolenhandelsmaatshappy." The Judge suggested that the one title was a translation of the other. Nfi- Pliillips said he thought not, but anyhow the defendants traded only in England as the Coal' Trade Company, Limited, and it was that company which was supplied as one which traded in Swansea, there being no such company in Amsterdam. The affidavit of Mr Cleeves, read for the defence, stated that the company was iu the habit of buying coal f.o.b. Swansea, arid that, he sub- mitted, established jurisdiction, for accepting coal f.o.b. Swansea was carrying on business. Then the company held itself out mistakenly— he would not say fraudulently-as a limited company. He could not say this was done intentionally, but it was misleading, and all he could do was to serve his proceedings on the office to which the English title applied, and this he had done. Possibly the English title was a, translation of the Dutch one, but his clients thought they were dealing with an English limited company, which, when sued, turned round and said it was not English, and that, although it was using the word "limited," it was not alimitedcomply. After reading the various cases on the point, the Judge found that the evidence did not establish the con- tention that defendants traded in this country its laid down by the cases cited. He there- lore, found jurisdiction was not established, and to set aside the proceedings. Mr J. Evan Rowlands, solicitor, applied on behalf of William Curry, farmer, of Hendre- foilan, for leave to defend an action brought against him by Dd. Jones, financier, of Groue-placfc, Swansea. He said there was originally a promissory note for £ 47 ( £ 4 of which had been paid). and Jones had agreed to accept £ 30 in payment, and to give defendant's wife four weeks in which to find the money. Plaintiff, without waiting for the expiration of the time, went to the county court, signed judgment for £ 33, and issued execution. Plaintiff made representations, and as a result defendant did not do what they would have done. Mr Lleufer Thomas, for the plaintiff, opposed, denying some of the allegations of the defendant, and contended no case had been made out for a new trial. The application was dismissed with costs.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK A MIN E Disaster Averted by a Miracle. The Central News .Melbourne correspondent writes :-A remarkable affair is reported from Bendigo. A discharged miner named Orchard applied to the manager of the Great Extended llustler's Mine for re-engagement-, but was re- fused. The man then walked to the mouth of the shaft and picked up a case containing 501bs. of dynamite, which formed part of a recent delivery oi mine stores lying near. He hurled the case down the shaft, and after falling a distance of nearly 1.000 feet it struck the top of an ascending cage, Marvellous to relate, no explosion occurred, and nobody was injured. Had the dynamite exploded the mine would in all probability have been wrecked, and numbers of lives must have been lost. Orchard was arrested, and shortly atterwards endeavoured unsuccessfully to commit suicide. Later he was brought before a magistrate and reman led.

A SLIPPERY PICKPOCKET. I A daring robbery took place at the Cardiff Market on Saturday evening. A. man named Edwards, who was with friends, felt some- one putting his hand into his right- haud coat pocket where was a purse which contained over F,3 10s. Edwards turned round and saw a man disappearing in the crowd. He and his friends essayed to pursue, but the congested state of the market impeded progress and enabled the thief to escape.

JEWS DESERTING RUSSIA. Over 200,000 Leave in One Year. A Press Association St. Petersburg telegram says :—The Jewish Emigration Bureau has published statistics showing the remaritabie increase in Jewish emigration from Russia during, recent years.. The following figures apply to the United States alone :-1899, 24,275 1900, 39,011 1S01, 37,600 1902. 37,846 1903, 47,689 :1904. 77,544 1905. 100,000 1906, 200,000. These figures are greatly increased by the annual Jewish emigration to England, Canada, the Argentine Republic, and South Africa.

Whilst, cycling from Porthcawl on Tuesday evening, in company with several friends, Mr lIill, son of Alderman Hill, Briton Ferry, was thrown from his machine owing to the fork of his bicycle breaking. He received a slight injury to his knee, but was able to walk to Pyle, whence he took train home. i

-< STEAMERS IN COLLISION. Cardiff Boat's Maiden Voyage. On Sunday just before dawn two steamers collided off Bull Point, and both sustained ex- tensive damage. They arrived at Barry on Sunday afternoon, and will be forced to enter dry dock for repairs. It appears that the ss. Archtor/3414 tons gross register (Captain Francis), belonging to Mr H, U. Holman, of London, was bound up the Bristol Channel to Barry Dock, from Hull, light. In an opposite direction, steaming on her maiden voyage, after having been delayed by running aground near Penarth Head, came the fine new turret steamer, Duffryn Manor (Captain Mure), belonging to Messrs Harrison and Brown, of Cardiff, coal laden, and bound for Buenos Avres. The night had been clear, and lights could be easily distinguished at some distance. What led up to the occurrence is difficult to accu- rately ascertain owing to the usual reticence of the officers of the vessels, It appears, however, that the collision took place shortly after 3 a.m. The Duffryn Manor met the Archtor stem uu. On each bow of the Cardiff steamer an anchor lay from the hawsepipe. The Archt or was struck"abaft the bridge near No. 3 hold. and the anchor of the Dufirvn Manor on the port side forced a large hole below the deck line of the other vessel, and her iron bulwarks and stanchions were consider- ably damaged. Subsequent examination of the vessel showed that she was also damaged below the water line, plates being indented. On the whole the Archtor escaped very well, consider- ing the dead weight of the Duffryn Manor. On both vessels the greatest coolness and dis- cipline prevailed, "VeIl among the Chinamen. who formed the chief part of the crew of the Duffryn Manor. The latter vessel had sus- tained alarming damage. Her stem was forced iu about four feet troiu its line, and the plates ou the bows were buckled, indented, and torn fur a considerable distance from the stem. The hawse,pipe on the port side was punched into the side of the bow, boring a large hole through which the forecastle was plaiulv visible. It was fortunate that the seamen's berths were not placeci there. On the water line the steel plates werf bent, and when the steamer arrived at Barry she was down at the head. Immediately on her arrival Messrs Harrison and Brown, the managing owners, boarded the steamer in company with Mr W. Graham, general matwger of Mr C. H. Bailey's ship- repairing w orks, in order to ascertain what re- pairs are necessary. The cargo will have to be discharged. The repairs to the Archtor will also be ot an extensive character. The damage done to both vessels will probably cost over £ 2,000. Considerable sympathy is felt towards Cap- tain Mitre in the unfortunate occurrences on the maiden voyage of a fine vessel of which he has command.

GEORGE ROBEY, THE GERMAN. I think iti was in 1880 (writes George Robey in his autobiography in The Penny Magazine") that we left. Brixton and went to live in Gernutny, at Dresden, where my father had to superintend the construction of. a new tramway system. In Dresden we lived for nearly three years, during which time I went to a German school, where I was the only English boy. At this time mv pranks were confined to play hours, for, in the first place, the discipline was very strict, and in the second I took a real interest in my work. My old dislike to figures was still maintained, but I used to simply eat anything connected with the arts and scinces. while I soon made rapid progress in Greek and Latin and as for German, it may be gathered how quick I was to pick anything up when I say that for two whole years in my Dresden school I occupied second place in the German class in competi- tion with German boys."
