A few minutps latin, however, he ap- peared on the scene and dealt witness a violent blow which daused him to fall and his nose to bleed piOi'usely. They struggled on the ground for a consider- able time and ultimately a crowd col- lected. Defendant shouted, "Come on lads, stick together and into him."

He had served in France and had been gassed twice. On the day in question he drank some spirits, a thing he was not in the habit of doing. He was certainly not a blackguard and this 'was the first occasion he had been in Court. Supt. Rees said a section of the crowd was very hostile on the night in question and had the other officers not appeared on the scene the conse- quences might have been The Stipendiary said the Magistrates were determined to put a stop to these assaults on the police, and to deal es- pecially severe with those cases where the evidence showed that the crowd had been called upon by the defend- ants for assistance.

Complainant, who now resides in Fforchaman Road, Cwmaman, said she was married to the defendant in April of this year, and went to live at Cwm- bach. About two months after the marriage defendant came home one afternoon and gave her a black eye. Some time later he came home drunk and accused her of having rifled 'his pockets. She had found some money of his behind the pictures when she was dusting. He threatened to mur- der her and (based her round the house with a knife. She became so fright- ened that she left the house and stayed the night at his niece's house. She returned the next morning and they made it up.

"As a last hope I tried Dr. Cassell's Tablets, and am thankful I did. In quite a short time I could see an im- provement. She gradually regained P°W«ML her speech, too, returned, and soon she was able to go to school again, well and strong as ever."

MOUNTAIN ASH DISTRICT COUNCIL,…
MOUNTAIN ASH DISTRICT COUNCIL, On Tuesday.—Present: Messrs. G. A. Evans, J.P. (in the chair) Bruce Jones, J.P., Dd. Rogers, Dr. T. Davies, Tom Jones. Griffith Evans, J.P., Rev. Geo. Neighbour, Noah Bowles, James Evans, Richard Woos- nam, Wm. Lam burn, \Vm. Davies, and W. T. Bowen, together with the Clerk (Mr. A. Pincombe) and other officials. DIRECT RATING OF OCCUPIERS. A lengthy report on this subject was presented by the Clerk, in the course of which he stated: There can be no doubt that the object aimed at in providing lor the rating of the owner instead of the occupier of small tene- iiieiit, was to obviate the greater ex- 1 pense of collection and loss of rates through vacancies and other causes. It might he supposed that where the occupier pays the rates be will take more interest in watching public ex- penditure and keeping down the rates as much as possible, as it is obviously to his advantage that rates should be decreased rather than increased, any decrease being in his favour; but on the other hand, where the owner pays the rates, and such rates are increas- ed, the general tendency is to inereasei the rents out of proportion to the in- creased rates, and thus the tenants I suffer; while the owner, so long as he profits by the opportunity for demand- ing more rent, is not so much con- j cerncd in keeping down the rates. Jf the rateable value does not exceed zcs, even if the order of the Vestry, which is still in force, were rescinded, and in the case of the rateable value exceed- > ing that limit, and the house being let for a less term than 3 months, the occupier could exercise his right under Section 1 of the Act of 1860. and de- duct the pooy rate from his rent; al-I though if the rateable value does not exceed S10, and the urban authority chose to exercise their option of rating the occupier instead of the owner, the occupier would have no similar right under the Act of 1875 to deduct the general district rates from his rent. To place the rating authority in the same position with regard to both the poor rate and the general district rate it would be necessary to repeal Section 1 of the Act of ICD. because although the rent were fixed at a lower "rent in order that the tenant and net the owner should he liable for the rates, he could not be prevented from deducting the poor rate when paving his rent. It is clear thr<t it is not now practicable to rate ail the occupiers to j the poor rate instead of the owners, Of course, you could charge. for the rate-aided houses a certain rent on the terms of the general, district rates being paid by the tenant, and the poor rates being paid by the Council; and ordinary owners of property might make fresh arrangements with their tenants on the same lines if you de- cided to rate all occupiers to the gen- eral district rate." Mr. Bowles said it was high time that the present rating was revised. He N moved that before discussing the report, information as to the conditions prevail- in, "Iin other urban areas in the Ponty- pridd Union should be obtained. Mr. Bruce Jones suggested that the re- port should be issued in booklet form. Mr. Rogers said that if the Council agreed to this course, the Clerk should supplement it with any additional in- formation it was possible to obtain. Consideration of the report was de- ferred until January, and Air. Bruce Jones' suggestion was agreed to. WHITLEY COMMITTEES. I A a application was received from the National Association of Local Govern- ment Officers for the appointment by the Council of a local Whitley Committee, The Clerk read the constitution of a similar committee in existence at Ponty- pridd. Mr. Neighbour said that when the Council last increased the salaries of their officials it was agreed that the question should not be raised again for a period of two years. Under tho circum- stances ho did not think that for the present at any rate, any purpose would be served by setting up a committee, He moved that the question be deferred. Mr. Bowles. seconding, said the Edu- j cation Committee had received a similar application from the N.U.T. While the scheme, it had not been deemed advis- able to establish one for the present. Mr. Bruce Jones, supporting, said there was absolutely no need for such a committee locally. The Chairman'said that so far as the officials of the Council wero concerned, they were in sufficiently close, touch with the members which rendered a commit- tee unnecessary. The motion was carried. INCORPORATION. The Clerk asked the members if they were deposed to fix a date for the pur- pose of further considering the question of incorporation. The accountant was now prepared to submit -his report on the matter. Mr. Bo wen suggested that the report should be printed and circulated. Mr. Stock: I would rather you lieaiu it read first. It was decided to consider the same at the next meeting.

what the boy fetched was chops, but witness pointed. out that the same ap- plied here again. Defendant then said: "It was suet your boy fetched,' and Mrs. Venables said "Yes." (Laughter, in which ^the Stipendiary joined heartily.) Asked if he had a record of anything supplied on credit that morning defendant said, "No. 1 placed it on a piece of paper which 1 have mislaid. Mr Thomas addressed the Bench and said that defendant was an old estab- lished tradesman in the town, and this was the first case of evervharging iu ought against him. The case was due to negligence and nothing else. The Stipendiary said the offence had been aggravated by the number of i:1- \is told, and it was dis- creditable to this Mrs. Venables for the part she had played. It was the of women to check these trades- men. But some of them did not seem to mind about spending their hus- band's money so long as they could fill their stomachs. A fine of £ 10 was imposed and two guineas costs allowed. At the close of the Court Mr. Mor- gan said that Mrs. Venables felt the Stipendiary's remarks very keenly.
