ABERDARE COUNTY COURT. On Monday, before his Honour Judge Rowland Rowlands.
!Local Showman's Cheque.
Local Showman's Cheque. An adjourned action, in which William Evans, Imperial Billiard Saloon, Pen gam, was the plaintiff, and John Sejhrott, a showman of Aberdare and Neath, was the de- fendant, came up for judgment. The action had reference to a cheque for £ 32 given by defendant to plaintiff in consideration of the tenancy of a piece of land at Fleur- de-lys for a term of two years. Th« cheque was given in March, and post-dated to April, and on being presented for payment it was found to have been stopped by the de- fendant. Mr. W. Ebsworth, Bargoed, for the plaintiff, reminded the Court that the case was adjourned 'upon the defendant having agreed to carry out the contract with plaintiff upon the latter undertaking to furnish him with a plan ef the land. Correspondence had since passed (1) the matter, and Mr. Prosser, solicitor, who appeared for the de- fendant, was now without any in- structions from defendant. Mr. Prosser, who was in court, explained that he had tried to get defendant to settle up the matter, but without avail.. His Honour gave judgment for plaintiff with costs.

Judge's Strong Remarks. Cwmbach Co-operative Case. A case which had been adjourned from 'the last Court came before Judge Bryn Rowlands at Aberdare County Court on Monday, in which the Cwmbach Co-operative Society were the plaintiffs, and John Da/vies, a collier, of' Cix-iiianiiii, was the defendant. Mr. A. J. Prosser (Messrs. C. and W. Kenshole and Prosser) was for the Society; and Mr. H. Leonard Porcher, Pontypridd, defended. The claim was in respect of a balance for goods supplied to the defendant by the Society; and credit was claimed by the defendant for a sum of £ 2 (which, it was stated, had been paid in cash) on her mother's book, and also for sums of £ 6 and l()s. on her own book. It was alleged by the plaintiffs that the sums in question had not been paid into the Society, but that the entries in the shop books had been falsified. Mrs. Davies gave evidence, emphatically denying that the entries had been made by her in the books. She said that she had .paid the money in ea<*h case to Miss Davies at the cash desk. She adhered to this statement under cross-examination by Mr. Prosser and also in reply to his Honour. In adjourning the case for the presence of further witnesses, his Honour described the case as a serious one, and that ho intended to probe the matter to the very bottom. "It seems to me. added the learned Judge, "that there is forgery or perjury—probably both." The proceedings were resumed at the Mountain Ash Court on the following day. I ■ A nu nher of witnesses were called, who testified that they had paitk, on the dates on which* the defendant's wife alleged she had paid cash, sums of £ 6, t2 and 10s. into the shop.

.TRECYNON AND LLWYDCOED NOTES. BY MAKCELO. Bunkum is not at 'all satisfied with the awards of the Flower Show. "There is no 'knowing the tastes of Judges," lie said to Ap Barley. "They don't go by merit at all but bX some whims and fads of their own. Ap commiserates with him, for the former Aeclare., that he has been the victim of a similar miscarriage of justice at eisteddfodau galore. Bunkum went to the Gardener's Arm-, to drown his sorrow, and Ap, in order to Tntensifv his sympathy, ac- companied him. By nine p.m. B. s grief was considerably lighter-and so was his pocket, while" A. carried home rather a big load. Twm Sausagre has a bone to pick with the military authorities. He con- siders that they have dealt harshly with him, and he TS going to ask Pack- man Newydd of the Leader to deat with the matter in his next article. In Twm's opinion the Packman is a greater oracle than even Popcorn. The Mill Street masher and his girl had three quarrels and three recon- ciliations in three days. This consti- tutes a record even for lovers' tiffs. t. The row between the fierce Trecynon combatants drew a big crowd on, Hir- wain Road. The next time they fall out they should select a qjiiet spot and fight it out..and on some night other than Sunday too. Miracles will never cease. The utter unavailability of butter has tat last induced her ladyship to try margar- ine. And it has passed her merciless censorship too. Well, well!

MR. STANTON AND HIS CRITICS.
MR. STANTON AND HIS CRITICS. Echo of a House of Commons Question. Dear Mr. Editor,—May I tres- pass upon your valuable space for a brief reply to Mr. Gwilym Kichards in arid the Hirwain miners? Firstly, I raised the question of thv appoint- ment of 111-. G. Richards in the House of Commons after workmen of Hirwaill had called upon me and written to me, giving oie the facts. The charges 1 made in the House of Commons I can prove. Mr Hichards ¡dare not deny that he is what ] charged him with being—a conscientious objector, a pro-fier- man in sympathy, and an I.L. Peer in practice. The question of his honesty and fitness is under investigation «by the Department. I shall submit evidence from the people aggrieved, at the proper moment. His own' letter helps to prove my charges. He states that there is enough mud in my trail ai- j ready. Xo doubt he is right, hut I got it through my past unhappy connections with the dirty g?nig he belongs to. The "great iiiass itieetiiig at Hirwain was attended bv 80 people. I shall visit Hirwain shortly, and hold a. Britishers' meeting in some public place, where Mr. Richards and his Bolshevik friends and sup- porters can have all they ask for, and, perhaps, more. He the Tower workmen's protest not 80 out of 700, 1 understand, passed this protest against myself without knowing the facts. The resolution was not worded or* written by the men, but by Mr. Richards and Mr. Goodall, his "Man Friday." The Hirwain work- men were always loyal and true to me whilst I had tlie honour of being their Agent, and I have many letters of thanks from them for my many services in the "old bad days" when it required a man to lead them. « I cannot believe that the majority of the Hirwain miners can have confidence in any man who is a "Conchy," a pro-German," and other tilings. If so, they are be- traying their own flesh and blood in the trenches, and insulting the memories of our glorious dead who fell fighting for theS^cred cause of Liberty and Freedom and our own Empire's future greatness.-—Yours, faithfully, C. B. STANTON. Tvdraw, Aberdare, August 19th, 1918.
Judge's Strong Remarks.
An assistant, named Era Butler, gave evidence to finding on the floor of the shop, in close proximity to the cash desk, a slip bearing a sum of t2 as having been paid into the shop. This was the slip in re- spect of which Mrs. Davies claimed credit. His Honour eventually gave judgment, with costd on Scale A, 'for the plaintiff's Society and, in so doing, he remarked that the case was a very distressing one. He would, however, refrain from saying anything beyond what was absolutely necessary about it. He had come to the conclusion that Mrs. Davies had not paid to the Society, or To any of their servants, the sums of money which, she alleged, she had paid in.
