False Weights. — Frederick Skirton and John Buiton, shop-keepers, Aber- dare, were summoned at the instance of P.C. Richards, Inspector of Weights and Measures, for using weights which were false and unjust. The former de- fendant said he had only just taken over the business, and knew nothing about the weights. The other defend- ant did not appear in Court to answer the charge.—Skirton's case was dis- missed on payment of costs, 6s. (id., and the other defendant fined 20s. Drunks.—Evan R.

Banks said that last Saturday night he saw a crowd outside Bracchi's shop in Gadlys Road. Inside the shop he saw the de- fendant, who was drunk and shouting and swearing. He also wanted to fight. Witness helped the manager to eject the defendant. Defendant there- upon became very violent, and kicked witness on the leg. He was kicking, hitting and biting like a mad dog. Five or six persons attempted to take de- fendant away from witness' grasp. De- fendant scuffled and witness was rushed up against a wall and hemmed in. A tramcar came by and the driver helped witness to place defendant in a tram. Defendant also kicked the tram j driver. — The Stipendiary said the Bench must deal with defendant in a drastic manner. He would be fined 13s. or 14 days for being drunk, and 40s. or 21 days for the assault. Defend- ant paid the money. On the Black List.—Thomas Harris, Aberdare, answered a charge of at- tempting to obtain intoxicating drink. P.C. Morgan deposed to seeing defend- ant in the Iron Bridge Hotel, Aber- dare. He had just come in, and was under the influence of drink. He masked the landlord for half a pint, and the landlord refused.—Defendant said he had only a month to go before the black list order expired, and he thought he could risk that.—Fined 10s. Bad Language. Michael Joyce, Abercwmboi, had to pay 9s. for using indecent language.—J?.C. Clarkson de- posed to seeing defendant come out of the Capcoch Inn with another man..De- fendant caught hold of the other man by the shoulders, and used disgraceful language, a sample of which was hand- ed to the Bench. Sunday Trading.-Francisce Fugoni, Aberdare, and Giovani Cardini, Aber- aman, were ordered to pay os. each for selling sweets on Sunday. A Lucky Escape.—Daniel Jenkins, Aberaman, was summoned for keeping: an unlicensed carriage. It was stated that defendant drove the cab in a fun- j eral.—There were previous convictions, and the Bench imposed a fine of IQs.— Subsequently Super. Rees pointed'out that where there had been previous fines of larger amounts the Bench could not impose such a small fine of 10s.— ) The Clerk and Stipendiary looked the point up and found that that was so. By this time, however, the defendant's wife had paid the fine and left the Court. A Heavy Fine Tom Dix, Aberdare, was similarly charged. P.S. Owen Thomas deposed to seeing a 4-wheeled cab, belonging to defendant, which was unlicensed. There were previous offences.—Fined R5. Four Offences.

Pleaded Ignorance. — John Thomas, ) Trecynon, was charged at the instance of P.C. Jones with not having taken out a carriage licence.—Defendant said he only bought the carriage last June, and he then took out a licence, which he thought held good for 12 months.— Fined 10s.

Watkins, of Hir- wain. and John Walters, Penywain, were charged with an offence under the Maintenance Live Stock Order, 1916. Mr. W.

There he saw Rossiter in the act of skinning a calf. Another calf was there already skin- ned. Asked how old they were, Rossi- ter said he did not know, adding that they were to be sent to Mr. Watkins, butcher, Hirwain. The following day witness saw Walters and told. him he would be reported for killing calves which were under six months, and which had not been sold by an auction- eer and branded.—By Mr. W. Thomas: Rossiter was a collier, employed at Hii-iN in.-P.S. Pullman related con- versations lie had had with the four defendants. The weight of the three calves was 621bs., 531bs., and 621bs.— Walters cross-examined witness con- cerning a conversation he had had with him as to what calves he had the right to slaughter. Defendant remarked that witness told him he could kill Jer- sey and Guernsey calves. The beasts which were killed at his farm were Kerry calves, and inasmuch as Ireland was an island he thought they could be classed as Channel Island calves. (Laughter.)—Mr. Thomas addressed the Bench and placed the other three defendants in the witness box. Rossi- ter said he lived at 5 Ivy Cottages, Hir- wain, and did a little slaughtering in his spare time. He knew nothing of the Order prohibiting the killing of calves unless they were branded by an auctioneer.—Smale said that Walters came to him and asked him if he would like to buy calves. Walters declared they were under the value of 40s. — Watkins gave further evidence.-—The Bench said they could not take a len- ient view of the offence. There was no excuse at al!.

Jones, district relief shunter, and Levi Thomas, signalman, gave evidence. Thomas shid that when he spoke to defendant, the latter used filthy lan- guage, which was not fit to be repeated in Court.—Clerk: It must have been bad, then. (Laughter.)—A fine of 20s. and costs was imposed. A Sharp Boy.—Mr. W. H. Toulson prosecuted in a case where two brothers from Abercwmboi, aged 16 and 11, were .summoned for damaging trees, the pro- perty of the P.D. Co.—P.S.
