Sutherland, Ll. M. Williams, D. L. Jones, W. A. Jones Messrs. Dd. Jones (Hirwain), T. D. Williams, Morgan Williams, Meth Davies, John Hughes, Rees Rees, Thos. Morgan, Wm. Thomas, Evan Davies, Wm. Parker, W. Ll. Jones, StafFron Bolwell, John Davies, John Edwards, Ohas. Fenwick, Dd. Jones, Henry Evans, Patrick Mansfield, Henry Owen, Samuel Thomas, T. T. Jenkins, Wm. Jones, Edwin Thomas, Joshua Aurelius, Samuel Morgan, Wm. Davies, Joseph Price, with Mr. F. T. James (Clerk). Relief Going Up. The Rector submitted the following motion: That a committee be formed to revise the Relief Books of the Union and report thereon. Also that such committee consist of one Guardian from each Relief Committee, to be nominated by the members of such committees re- spectively." The Rector added that in every big Union there was a com- mittee of the kind. The L.G.B. had found it necessary at the present time to send down an Inspector to revise the relief books of the various Unions, and a Revision Committee should be in existence to meet the Inspector and answer any questions put by him. In the Merthyr Union the sum expended in relief was going up, whereas in other Unions it was going down. Mr. Henry Owen seconded. The Chairman was convinced that they ought to do something in the direc- tion indicated by the Rector. They had gone astray somewhere. Mr. Meth Davies said he could not understand the Rector's attitude. There was nothing in his speech at &11. (Laughter.) If the Rector wanted to know what the Aberdare Relief Com- mittee were doing, he could have the information. Rector: Thank you* for nothing. Mr. Meth Davies: We have had a lot for nothing from you this morning. Any member can ask a Relieving Officer for particulars concerning relief cases, and the hooks are here every Friday. The Clerk has told us many times that the relief cases must be decided on their merits. The formation of such a com- mittee as the Rector suggests is a re- flection on the Relief Committees. Mr. W. Parker seconded the motion, adding that no good could be done by adopting the motion. Mr. H. Evans saw no .need for the formation of a Revision Committee. He had heard that in other Unions the Inspector had suggested to the mem- bers to reduce the amount of relief to children to 2s. 6d. per week. "I put It to the intelligence of any member" added Mr. Evans, whether a child can be brought up on 2s. 6d. a week." (Cries-t>f "No."3 The Chairman referred to the case of the notorious Seal, Abercanaid, who threatened to "brain" the Relieving Officer. That man had gone to work

now, since his relief had been stopped. How many Seals were there in the Union sealing the doom of that Board. (Laughter.) The Rector having replied to the dis- cussion, his motion was defeated by 15 votes to 13. Redistribution. A statement had been issued to the members showing the areas covered by the relieving officers in the Aberdare and District portion of the Union, with the view of re-arranging same. It was proposed that the question be referred to committee, and the chairman re- marked that Mr. J. W. Young had been canvassing the whole of the committee, j and palming off his case. Mr. T. T. Jenkins: I move we accept the districts as they appear in this printed statement. The Chairman was afraid they must consider it in committee because a reso- lution to that effect had already been passed. Mrs. Jenkins observed that if a com- mittee had to deal with it, all the mem- bers of the Board should be on that committee. The matter was referred to a com- mittee of the whole Board. Finance.—Mr. David Jones. Dowlais, the chairman of the Finance Committee, said that when all the bills passed that day had been paid, there would be an adverse balance at the Bank to the ex- tent of £ 3,600. Merthyr and Gelliga-er owed money to the Board, and he moved that the Clerk write to the overseers of those parishes. This proposal was adopted. Drumlfta Estate.—The Chairman in- formed the Board that now, after four years, the Joint Poor Law Committee had succeeded in obtaining the consent of the L.G.B. to go on with the con- version of the Drumma Mansion as a Home for epileptics. Dead or Alive? There was an application for relief from a woman who said she had not heard from her husband for the last 33 years. She did not know whether he was alive or dead. Mr. T. T. Jenkins I move that the Warrant Officer find him. (Laughter.) Someone moved that os. a week be granted, the husband to repay. Chairman: It isn't worth wasting money on a dead man, or a man who has not been heard of for 33 years. A member: We can issue a warrant. Mr. S. Thomas: Won't that be a waste of money? Chairman: The officers can use their discretion. » A sum of 5s. a week was granted. The Sanatorium.—There were eom- plaints concerning the non-admission of cases to the Sanatorium, and the Rec- tor moved that the National Memot nl Association be communicated with. Children's Homes Committee. The above committee, Mr Morgan Williams, chairman, presiding, met on Jan. 6th, and reported as follows: Mrs. Chas. Kenshole visited all the Homes-in the Aberdare Valley and distributed cakes, pastries and bon-bons, and each child was presented with a handkerchief. At Cwmbach Guardian MethDavies distri- buted oranges; Mrs. Hann, L13tty Shenkin, cakes and dolls; and Guard- ian John Hughes sweets and chocolates. On Christmas Day the children f■-om the Cwmbach Homes were entertained at the Workmen's Hall. At Abercv/mboi Dr. Horgan gave 2s. 6d. to each Cottage Home, and the children were invited to the Aberaman Workmen's Hall.

"Parting uuesis at Aberdare. A farewell concert in honour of Mr. Charles Morris and family, who are leaving the old country for Australia, was held on Wednesday, the 12th inst., at Nazareth Schoolroom, Aberdare. Although residents of Swansea for some years, the family are well-known Aber- darians, Mr. Charles Morris having been attached to the social and pro- gressive movement in the town, and Mrs. Morris being the adopted daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Landeg, Canon Street. During their brief sojourn in their native town it was arranged by the friends at Nazareth to do them honour by means of a farewell concert as an appreciation of the services of Mr. and Mrs. Morris, and to indicate the esteem in which they are held. In the chair was the Rev. R. Williams, pastor. Secretaries, Misses Morfudd Davies and Catherine Rees. Accompanist, Mrs. D. W. Williams.

Williams.— Addresses were delivered bv Messrs. R. H. Lewis (Secretary of the Church), Councillor George Powell, and Mr. David Williams, Biaengwawr.—Mr. Lewis wound up a few appropriate re- marks by springing a pleasant surprise upon the guests and audience. On be- half of his good lady (who was absent through indisposition) and himself he presented the Misses Gwendoline and j Rhianwen Morris with a handsome gold brooch each.—Councillor George Powell dwelt upon the charm of Mr. Charles Morris's personality, his originality and his sense of humour, and commend- ed his courage to break through the circumscribed limits of his native | land.—Mr. D. Williams dwelt on Mr. Morris's geniality, his strong views and his tender feelings; striking hard but never offending; the one and only Charles Morris, and wished him a fair voyage and an unclouded, future. He j wished the family prosperity and happi- ness.—Mr. Morris responded on behalf of himself and family. He was leaving little Wales with a pang, but at the same time fully confident that the guiding Hand, which had covered his footsteps up till now, would be with him en route, and in Australia, in spite of submarine dangers and all perils.—On the proposition of Mr. John Isaac. Britannic Superintendent, and the sec- onding of Mr. William Mason, a hearty vote of thanks was given to Mr. Roger Thomas and the other artistes. _n_u_

Llwydcoed Notes. BY "MARCELLO." When is the happy event coming off? The other day I saw the pair in Aber- dare glancing wistfully at the glittering hoops of gold in a j eweller's window. Mr. Blank made an awkward mistake the other day. He put on a black arm- let instead of the khaki one. I hope that does not signify that despair has taken the place of courage in the wear- er's heart. A local young man took his best girl to see "The Rosary." When he had reached the top of the stairs he felt like kicking himself downstairs. He had left his purse at home. She threw away a quantity of milk thinking it was lime-wash. One of these next days we may hear that she is whitewashing the walls with milk. Mr. Editor, just ask your advertise- ment manager to put in an ad. for a teacher in voice-production. One shrill voice is spoiling the whole show-to use a worldly phrase-in a certain place of worship, and the conductor threatens to down baton unless that horrible shrillness gives way to stillness. The pair were indulging in a wayside spoon, and were filling in the intervals between some violent bouts of kissing with copious draughts from a bottle at strmt, when la and behold someone came upon the scene. The bottle of | stout was flung over the hedge in- stantly, and the kissing was adjourned sine die, as the lawyers say. Mrs. Newlywed's mirror broke a few days after she had taken the pledge that cannot be broken. She now looks through that glass darkly, and declares that there are seven years of misfortune in store for her. The bloodsuckers are after the -abbits, and on Sundays too.

Abercynon Police Court. On Thursday, Jan. 13, before Mr. R. A. Griffith ^Stipendiary) and Mr. W. Fenwick.$ Drunk and Disorderly.-David Mor- fan, in Margaret Street,. Abercynon; ohn Williams, in Windsor Place, Ynysybwl; Timothy O'Reilly, in Main Road, Ynysboeth; George Oliver, in Abercynon Road, Abercynon, 13s. each. Ynysybwl Jehu.—Horace Stroud was summoned for furiously driving a horse and cart through the main street of Ynysybwl on December 18th.-P.C. Kennard proved the case.—Defendant was fined 6s. Method in Her Madness." Abercynon Woman's Strange Behaviour. Elizabeth Vaughan, Abercynon, was charged with stealing a pay-docket from Richard Harding, the property of George Harding, and obtaining JE1 15s. 8d. She was also charged with steal- ing a pay-docket from Gertrude Jones, the property of John Edward Spencer, collier, and obtaining thereby the sum of JE1 10s. 5d. Mr. T. W. Lewis, Pontypridd, defended. Richard Harding (12), Pen Locks, Abercynon, stated that his father, Geo. Harding, sent him last Saturday morn- ing to the Dowlais-Cardiff Colliery with a card to get some money. He saw the woman (standing in the dock) by the pay office. She asked him to let her get his father's money. She took the card and got the money and then went to the Navigation Hotel. She came out and put in his purse a JE1 note and 8s., and told him not to open it. He told her it was short hnd she ran away. Ivlrs. East caught her and then P.S. Evans came up. Gertrude Jones (12), 5 Park Street, Abercynon, stated that she went to the office for her father's money. She got a ticket for £ 1 10s. 5d. The woman (pointing to defendant in the dock) snatched the ticket from her and went to the pay office and got the money. She then put 21 m her purse, and when A-itness complained she put 6s. 6d. more in the purse. She was then 3s. lid. short of the total. Herbert Stuart Cory, check clerk, de- posed that Mrs. Vaughan came for checks for John Vaughan, her brother, and Wm. Hughes, a lodger. She then said she was advancing money for the little boy. Lewis Jones, clerk, deposed that he gave John Spencer's check to Gertrude Jones. David Richards, pay clerk, stated that he paid John Vaughan's and Wm. Hughes' monies to Mrs. Vaughan. He noticed that she had two other cheques in her hand, which she wanted to be paid separately. He paid her. Thomas Jones Abercynon, a special constable, stated that he saw a crowd on the Abercynon Bridge at about 11.15 a.m. There were two children crying and saying that Mrs Vaughan had their monies. He took her to the police station, where she admitted having had the money. Helen May East, Pen Locks, Aber- cynon, deposed that she ran after Mrs. Vaughan and stopped her. P.S. Evans came up. P.S. Evans -Trusted the prisoner, and on the way to the station she offered to pay the money back to the children. Mr. Lewis urged on behalf of the defendant that she was suffering from mental deficiency, and that she ran away because she was scared. Some eight years ago she came into ESOO and her mmd had been affected by the loss of it. She came from Darowen, near Machynlleth, and was quite dependent on her brother and lodger. Defendant, on oath, stated that she did not take the tickets from the chil- dren and that she went to the Naviga- tion Hotel to get change, as she had been paid in a lump sum. The children could not reach up to the pay office, so she got the money for them. Replying to the Stipendiary defendant said she hadn't any money now. She had lost it in North Wales, where hun- dreds of people had lost money. A soli- citor had practically the whole of it. (Laughter in court.) "John Rowlands is his nairie, but he is a clerk now," she added, and there was more laughter. Stipendiary: You had better not say too much. We are asked to believe that the defendant went off her head because of her Josses in speculation. There are thousands of people who have speculated, and are not in lunatic asylums, although they should be there. If the defendant was mad she had cer- tainly shown a deal of method in her madness. She will be fined 20s. for each offence. Aberdare Youth's Waywardness. Redeemed by Subsequent Good Conduct. 'Charles Colia Cooke (21), a soldier in khaki, of David Price Street, Aberdare., was charged with embezzling £ y 13s. 2]d., the monies of Frederick Wm. Mander, Aberdare. Mr. W. Kenshole prosecuted and Mr W. Thomas defended. —Gwilym Davies stated that he was manager to Mr. Mander. Prisoner was engaged last April to solicit orders and collect the monies for those orders. In December witness caused enquiries to be made, and as a result the present pro- ceedings had been taken. On Decem- ber 6th prisoner should have handed into the office a sum of £ 5 13s. 2}d., re- ceived by him from Mrs. Martha Thomas, White Lion Hotel, Gadlys. Another sum of L3 7s. 6d. he received from Mrs. Mary Ann Jones, Talbot Inn, Aberdare, on Oct. 7th; and another sum of £ 1 15s. 6d. from Mrs. Mears, 8 Cardiff Road, Mountain Ash, on Dec. 6th. Not one of these had been ac- counted for. By Mr. Thomas: Defendant's wages were 26s. per week, with deductions amounting to lOd. per week. He was allowed his railway expenses. He had no com- mission.—Mrs. Martha Thomas, Mrs. Margaret Ann Jones, and Mrs. Mears, gave evidence of paying the prisoner the sums of money named, and also pro- duced receipts for same. P.S. Owen Thomas stated that he received the prisoner into custody from the Metro- politan Police at Hounslow, London. Defendant when charged said, I had the money right enough. I'm sorry, and will pay it back by instalments. Both advocates asked that the case be dealt with at that Court.—Stipendiary Tn consequence of both parties desiring the case to be dealt with here, we have assented. Defendant has, as Mr. Thomas stated, borne a good character. He comes of a highly respected family, and has joined the Army. We have decided to bind him over for 12 months to be of good behaviour. In transpired thht the Sergt. Major of the Motor Transport Corps, which the defendant had attached himself to, had given him an excellent character, and would be glad to get him back as soon as possible.

Mountain Ash County Court. On Tuesday, January 18, before His I' Honour Judge Bryn Roberts. Compensation. Clara Herd, of Helston, Cornwall, formerly of 44 Nap- iers Street, Mountain Ash, represented by Mr. Ivor Parry. Pontypridd, applied for an apportionment of a sum of money (£300) paid into court by Messrs. Nixon's Navigation Colliery Co., in re- spect of the death of her husband, Hy. Herd, which occurred in the course of his employment on Nov. 1st last. There were no dependents.—An award was made for t3 to be paid at once, and 10s. per week till August 10th next, the matter to be then transferred to Helston Court. A Much-Married Woman. Sarah Davies, Quakers' Yard, represented by Mr. Ivor Parry, Pontypridd, appeared against. Guest, Keen and Nettlefold, Abercynon. Mr. A. J. Prosser was for the respondent Co. The case is one that has-been mentioned in every court since last July. The applicant was the widow of Hugh Davies, whose husband was killed in the Abercynon Pit on June 4th of last year. At the first hearing in July it was mentioned that the widow was in a certain condition. The post- humous child was born on Nov. 2nd, last year. In the meantime the re- spondents discovered that the widow's former husband, Wm. Henry Jones, was still alive, and therefore she was not the widow of Hugh Davies. A further discovery has since been made, viz., that the applicant had also been married to a man n;mod Thonuis Messer, prior to Jones. Mr. Parry, giving a history of the case, pointed out that the respondents deny that the ap- plicant is the widow of deceased, at the same time putting forward the claim that if Messer's death was proved to have taken place prior to the marriage with Jones, she would then undouGtedlv be the lawful wife and dependent since his death of Hugh Davies. Every en- deavour had been put forth to find Messer, and despite advertising in news- papers over the country, nothing could be found out about him.—Sarah Davies, the applicant, stated that she was 34 years of age, and. lived at Quakers' Yard. She was first married 17 years ago to Thomas Messer at St. John's Church, Cymmer, Porth, and lived for 10 months with him at Porth, Lam- peter and Devil's Bridge. She had one child in Lampeter. While at Devil's Bridge he left her suddenly one day and never came back. She had neither heard or seen anything of him since. Later on she removed to Porth. She then went to Pontypridd Workhouse, and afterwards went to Lampeter Workhouse. The Guardians issued a warrant for Messer, but never found him. She went to Aberystwyth and was in service for five years and put her child out to nurse. There she met a man named Ivor Williams, and she had a child by him. He paid her R20 in a lump sum to settle the matter. She came back again to Porth, where the child was born. Whilst there in 1903 she met a man named Wm. Hy. Jones, and she married him at Pontypridd Register Office. They lived a few months in Quakers' Yard, and then went to live at Garndolbenmaen, North Wales. The man found out about Messer, and then left her. She then went to Merthyr Workhouse, where Ivor Williams' child died and Jones' child \n.s horn. Jones was arrested by the Guardians, and he had to pay to- wards the child, but not towards her. Jones and she agreed to sign away the child and did so. She had not seen him since. She afterwards went to Seng- henydd. She there met Hugh Davies, and married him at Eglwysilan Church: After living at Davies's brother's Louse they went to live at Ynysboeth. They then went to Quakers' Yard, and lived -it several houses there till he was killed in the pit at Abercynon. All the houses were in Davies's name. Her child was born on Nov. 2nd last year. She had never seen Jones whilst living with Davies. When the baby was 14 days old a man named John Harris came to see her. He said he came from Wm. Henry Jones.—Cross-examined by Mr. Prosser: She didn't tell Septimus Jones, the colliery compensation clerk, that she had never been married before. She married Davies in September, 1906. It was eleven years since she saw Jones. Annie Emmanuel, Quakers' Yard, midwife, deposed that she at- tended Mrs. Davies in her confinement last Novembei'—Mrs. Elizabeth Elias, Quakers' Yard, deposed that she saw Wm. Henry Jones about three months ago. He was lodging with his aunt, Mrs Thomas, Fair View, before he joined the Armv. — Mrs. Charlotte Gore, Quakers' Yard, stated that she lived next door to Mrs. Davies, who had lived with Hugh Davies as his wife for 18 months previous to his death.—Annie Jones, Quaker's Yard, corroborated previous witness's evidence. She spoke to Wm. Hy. Jones two months ago, when he came home on furlough.cAnn Davies, Quaker's Yard, knew Mrs. Sarah Davies, who had lived with Hugh Davies as his wife since they were mar- ried. She did not know Wm. Henry Jones.—John Messer, 55 Merthyr Rd., Whitchurch, deposed that they were three brothers, Thomas being the eld- est. It was 14 or 15 years since he heard from him. Septimus Jones, clerk at Messrs. Guest, Keen and Net- tlefold, stated that he visited Mrs. Sarah Davies a few days after her hus- band had been killed. She produced her marriage certificate, and told him that she had a love-child by Davies, bom three years previous to their mar- riage. It was named Bessie. She said she had never been previously married. In consequence of what she said witness caused E300 to be paid into Court as compensation.—Cross-examined by Mr. Parry: He went with a Mrs. Jones to Winchester to see Wm. Hy. Jones, and he got a statement from him in the presence of Capt. Morris. Witness knew Jones well. Wm. Lewis, Abertysswg, stated that he knew the Messer family. About 17 years ago he saw Tom Messer leave Devil's Bridge. The last time he saw him was two years ago in Aberdare. Mary Ann Jone3, Quakers' Yard, had known Mrs. Sarah Davies for 13 years, and had lived next door to her. She knew that her name was Messer, but she was known by her maiden name Jones. Wm. Henry Jones came and lodged next door but one. Jones left in November, 1914, and joined the Army. He came home on furlough in January, 1915. Mrs. Davies had been in her aunt's house when Jones was there. She saw Jones nine weeks ago. His Honour held that the child was the posthumous child of deceased, and declared her to be the only dependent. He was not satisfied that the applicant was the lawful wife of deceased, and de. clared no dependency for her. He o r. dered C20 to be paid to the mother fi)r maintenance till the child would be tv -0 years of age, and then 6s. a week til\ it
