Rees, who had his head band- aged, Slai that about 10.45 p.m. on Nov. 25th he saw the prisoner and other men outside the Ynysmeurig Hotel. P.C. Jones was with witness. The men were drunk, and were cursing and swearing. The landlord's son was on the door try- ing to keep them out. He (witness) re- quested them to go away, but they re- fused. P.C. Jones and himself then re- moved them by force. The men then went away, and witness proceeded to the Thorn Hotel. After seeing that place closed, he returned alone along Mountain Ash-road. Witness was about 40 yards from the Workmen's Hall, when the prisoner passed him on the left side. Witness took no particular notice of him, but jufet after he passed he received a blow on the left ear. He fell on his knees, got up, and fell again, completely stunned. A young' man came to his as- ne40 sistance, and prisoner ran away. P.C. Jones then came on the scene. They went to prisoner's house, but he was not in. They then went to Dr. Griffiths' surgery, where witness had two or three stitches placed on his ear. P.C.'s Jones and Williams then arrested prisoner next door to where he lodged. Witness asked what he meant by throwing a stone at him, and he replied, "I had my own back." Prisoner was drunk at the time. Next morning prisoner was charged, and he said: H I don't remember much about it. I don't know what I was about." He was asked what he did it with, and he replied, H With a stone something like this (pointing to a &tone as big as a man's first). Prisoner: Why did you punch me about near the Ynysmeurig? Witness: I did not. It was P.C. Jones that caught hold of you. Prisoner: You punched me. The pub- lic has got to be protected a,s well as you. Ivor Jones, ,Toll.ier, Abercynon, said that on Monday night, about 11.16, he heard a blow and he saw some one fall, and afterwards saw P.S. Rees staggering. He had seen prisoner passing before he heard the blow, and saw him running away. Cross-examined by prisoner, witness said he did not see the stone thrown. In reply to the Clerk, he said that he did not see prisoner's face that night. He identified him that morning by his clothes. Prisoner had been placed amongst several men. P.C. David Jones corroborated P.S. R,ees' evidence. Dr. J. Griffiths said he first saw Sergt. Rees at 12 o'clock on Monday night. He was suffering from shock, and from a wound on the side of the head. There was a lacerated wound from the back of the top of the ear down to the centre of the ear in front. It completely divided the skin. The ear was separated from the attachment to the skull.

Presentation at Aberaman. On Tuesday se'night an interesting pre- sentation took place on at the Castle Hotel, Aberaman, when Mr William J. Lloyd, late of Brook-street, was the recipient of a handsome marble clock from the committee' and members of the Bristol and West of England Provident Society. Mr Lloyd has been the secretary of the lodge almost since its inauguration,'and the society jhas- flourished during his term of office. The secretary of the presentation movement was Mr Thomas Warlow, whilst Mr C. A. Pullen acted as treasurer, and Mr Thomas J, Handley was the chairman of the coØJ- mittee, and of the above meeting. con" gratulatory speeches were made by Bre- then T. J. Handley, T. Warlow, Williams, Jones, and C. A. Pullen. The clock w&S' then formally handed over to Mr Lloyd. together with a beautiful address written on parchment, of which the following ijj the text:—" Bristol, West of England, South Wales Operatives' Trade and Pro- vident Society. Lodge No. i District Aberaman. To Brother William j. lAdr* Secretary.—We the undersigned, on be" half of the committee and members of the above lodge, desire to extend to yott our heartiest good wishes on the occasion of your marriage, and in a very humble way to show our appreciation of your services as secretary, by asking you to accept this- clock as a small token of the esteem 111 which you are held, both by past and pre" sent committees, and the members gener- ally. It is very gratifying to us as a ct11. mittee-and it should be very encouragIng to you, to know how very readily thernetn" bers responded to our suggestion, and we trust that you will look at this clock not for its money value, but as the free Will offering of many friends and brothers ill- this lodge, whose earnest desire is that yoU' and your good wife, may live a long and very happy life, and that your connection with our Lodge may be as useful and happy in the future, as it has been in the past' Thomas John Handley, chairman, Cbar"- les Alfred Pullen, treasurer Thomas War" low, Secretary,—Nov. 1907. Mr Lloyd suitably responded on behalf of his wife and himself, and thanked the heartily for the kindness shown toward him. The remainder of the prograIIlme consisted of songs contributed by brother E. Lewis, (twice,) bro. D. W. Griffiths" (twice,) and bro. W. J. Lloyd.

C Dr. Bankee, of Trecynon, is a great liever in fresh air as a prev,-litatile against the ills that assail the huJ)J body. Probably that was the reaSOn why at the meeting in the, Public naIl OIl Saturday night the audience, eepec- ially the occupants of the gallery, ha an opportunity cf inhaling copiOs draughts of this medicine. If fresh al1 is such a valuable health factor theI1 certainly the well-aired Trecynon pnblio Hall should be at once turned into a toriiini. It would make an ideal telllp of hygiene.
