Carmarthen County Police Court. This court was held on Saturday last before Air D L. Jones, Derlvjyn ((in the chair); Mr A. 0. Davies, Uplands; and Air J. S. AYil- liams, Trelech. CARIRYING EXPLOSIVES. Robert Carr, a haulier, living in Forest- road, Pontardulais, with his employers, Messrs Harries and Thomas, were summoned for contravening the order of the Secretary of State in carrying explosives along the road improperly covered.The section under which they were prosecuted was nunilier 4, and the wording of the summons was-—"Wherein eer tain explosives were being conveyed did un- lawfully convey suclh explosives without be ing completely covered with painted cloth, tarpaulin, wadimil], or otther suitable mater- ial, so as to effectually protect them against communication by fire. Air James John, solicitor, Carmarthen, appeared for 'the defendants, and pleaded not guilty. Inspector Davies, Ammanford, said that on the 91th inst., about 112.45 a.m., lie was stand ing by the Gorslas public house, in the parish of Llanartlhney, when he saw the defendant Carr driving a cart from the direction of Gross Hands. IGarr i^topj>ed opposite tho public house got out of the cart, and went away to the rear. The Chairman (interposing): Leaving tho cart on the road? The Inspector ^A es. Continuing, witness said lie noticed a powder barrel in the hind part of the cart, together with a lot of zinc sheeting. He went and looked in the barrel Mr John That barrel had nothing to do with what we are charged. Capt. Harries: I beg your pardon. The Inspector, continuing, said he looked into the barrel, which was open at one end, and uncovered, and there saw two coils of safety fuse wraped round with brown paper. He then noticed in the bottom of the cart in the far end All John (interrupting): 1 object to the eiri donee being given lbeeau.se this is not an ex- plosive Captain Harries I beg your pardon: if you look at the Order in Council, Section 1 you will find it classified as an explosive. Proceeding, the w|tnc-s said lie noticcd two boxes, in the ibottgm of the front of the cart. One of these, wllÚch was covered with a bit of dark material, but very inflammable contained oOlhs of saxonito. Mr Joliii Hoii- do you know it was saxonite A\ itness Because it was marked on the box Continuing, witness said the other box con- -ts,iiiied A\akeneld1,.s blasting powder. He asked the defendant, Carr, what was the weight of the blasting powder, whereupon he replied, There it is, and I do not know the weight. Chairman: A^ ere the cartridges charged. AA itness It is not the same as a gun cart ridge. It is powder for use in collieries, They use detonators to explode the cartridges Proceeding, witness sa';(1 he asked the deftii dant where lie was going to take it, and he said 'I might take it to the Emlyn Colliery.' He asked defendant if he was going to take it c-here, and he said "Yes," which was a false statement. He af'temvards told him to tell his master that he must provide a .suit- able tarpaulin or painted cloth to cover the whole of the explosives he had in the cart for it was possible that a fag end of acinar-' ette or cigar fell into the (-ai-t. it might ignite the powder of fuse. Defendant said 'Allnght' and afterwards drew a cloth over it, which only partly covered the 'boxes. Air John: Where does it say that the box must be covered. itness: In the Aot of Parliament-in the bye-law. Does it simply say in the bye-law that the powder must be covered?—They do not &ay powder but explosives must be covered. It says that Explosives shall be completely covered. It does not ay anyrthlng about covering the boxes containing explosives. Ca you say that the material in those boxes was not covered with tarpaulin, a piece of painted cloth, a piece of wadmill tilt, or any other suitable material —Yes. AYill you swear that the^xplosives that were contained in t-lioe boxes, which you saw was not covemd with tarpaulin, painted cloth or wadmill tilt?—I Could not swear they were not covered inside the wood. The wood was not covered. You have sworn that the boxes contained saxonite. How do you tknow?—Because it was stamped outside. Supposing those boxes had been stamped 50lbs of gold; would you believe it contained that?—I don't know. Y 011 did not examine the inside of any of these boxes, therefore so far as your know- ledge is concerned you do not know what was in them. You have simply relied upon what was painted outside.—I swear that those boxes marked saxonite contained powder be- cause I saw it in the colliery afterwards. Will you kindly answer TBiy question.How- did you know that it was the same box.—I saw it in the coHicry. Air John (indignantly): I must protest against an inspector in the constabulary giv ing evidence which he knows is absolutely in- admissible. Witness said that the other box contained Wakeneld's blading powder. "al you be surprised to hear that it con- tained nothing of the kind?—No, I would not It was AYakefield's blasting powder was stamped on the outside of the box. You will not undertake to say that either of these boxes was not wrapped up in tarpaul in or other suitable covering —1 could not swear unless the box was opened because I never opened the bax. The Chairman Did you these boxes ap- pear to be in the same condition as ordinary boxes of saxonite?—Yes. Capt. Harries: Are you able to say that the cask contained fuse and that it was not covered.——Yes. -apt. Harries. And that luse is certified as an explosive within the meaning of the Act of the Order in Council —Yes. The Deputy-Clerk AYhat became of the cart after you saw it?—It went in the direc- tion of the Emlyn Colliery but as a matter 1 of fact it went to Pantglas Colliery. He saw the invoice three days afterwards showing that 200 detonators had been received from Messrs Thomas and Harries This had been secreted away somewhere by the defendant, >itness, in reply to a question, from Bench said he did not attempt to open che Bench said he did not attempt to open che j boxes as he did not have the proper tools. Air John: AYhat weight was the fuse?— I should say from 7 to 81bs. Air John asked whether the Act applied to any quality of the fuse under 501bs. Capt Harries said it did. Air John How many coils were there? — I saw two coils myself that weighed about41bs eaoh. Would you be surprised to hear that a coil of fuse does not weight more than about ilb. Ko: they vary in size. Air John submitted that as far as the hOX?9 of saxonite and blasting powder were on- cerned there was nxTevidence to show that they were not covered with tarpaulin, paint ted material or any other suitable substance He further argued that even if the boxes contained the material stated the wooden boxes were a far more effectual protection than ignition from fire than the three speci- fied articles in the Act. The boxes were 3 eighths of an inch thick. He further point ed out that there were no evidence to show that the boxes contained saxonite or cart- ridge powder beyond the mark outside. They might have contained another substance for all they knew, and their worships had no right to assume that they contained the stated commodities in the absence of expres sed evidence. These explosives if they were explosives, were protected by a material far less liable to take fire than the three expres- sed specified materials mentioned in the sec tion. With regard to the coils of fuse which the Inspector said were not covered, he eon tended that their weight did not come under the prohibitive section of the Act. The Bench after a' short consultation, came to the decision that there was not sufficient evidence to convict and dismissed the two summonses. A ROW AT FERRYSIDE. John Jones, a colliery" labourer, living at Aiount Pleasant Ferryside, was summoned by B-ther Evans, 'Old Chapel, Ferryside. for assault. ■Air E. A. H. Harries, solicitor, Carmarthen appeared for the complainant, and Mr H. Brunei wliite for the defendant, who pleaded not guilty. Air White applied ifor an adjournment for a month eeause an important witness in the case was unable to be present owing to in- disposition. Air Harries said that if they adjourned the case for a month no doubt they would sum- mon the defendant's wife for assault as well. Mr White: Oh, in that case let the case go on. Esther Evans said that on the 11th inst., defendant came to her house the worse for drink and asked her if she had seen his wife. AYiitness replied that she had only just come from the house, and asked him to go quietly and not make a noise. Defendant then came in and urged her husband to strike witness. Defendant struck her a violent blow on the cheek. AY itness fell down and her teeth were bleeding. Defendant's wife al.so struck complainant on the back of head with a pan. The children cried and she went out to fetch P.C. Richards. Cross-examined by Air White: She knew Carmarthen police court; she had been there .before. She had been bringing charges against other people for sureties of the peace etc., which had been dismissed. She was not a quarrelsome woman. She did not tell David AYalters that defendant's wife was drunk in the Pelican. A young man, named Harold AYilliams, saw the assault, But lie ran away. A number of people gathered about, but when she shouted murder nobody came to the rescue. The wife also hit her with a pan on the head. AYitness had not summoned Irs Jones because the defendant hit her first (laughter). She could give no reason why the defendant assaulted her. Ala ggie Evans. daugSiter of the complain- ant. said that on the 11th inst. John Jones came to her mother's house. He was drunk. Defendant spoke first of all. but witness did not know what he said. Defendant hit her mother with his fist on her cheek. Witness's mother did not do anything to provoke the defendant. Air White asked the witness what was the meaning of the word provocation, which she failed to answer. Cross-examined by Air White: Defendant hit her mother with his fist in the fact. PC. Richards said that Alts Evans came to his house abouse about !) o'clock on the lltli inst and made a complaint. Her left eye was very much swollen. Cross-examined He did not go over to tho complainant's house, when he received the in formation. The defendant said that every morning he leaves Ferrvside by the workmen's train for Pontyberem. Previous to that he was with Air Drummond as gardener. In consequenco of seemg a man, AYalters who told him that 'his wife was in the Pelican public house he went there, but did not find bis wife. After wards he went to the complainant's house, He knocked at the door and asked her if what she had said was true. She said that if he was there in Ferryside lie would hear every- thing. AYitness tob^her, "That what he did not see he would no belicve." On his way home he met his wife and he endeavoured to persuade her to come home, but she went to the complainant's house. AYitness did not accompany her. Cross-examined He never assaulted the complainant. He did not know whether the had a black eye or not. Mr Wh ite, in his address to the Bench, said he was sure that a more unsatisfactory case of assault they had never had before them, and that it wa evident that the injury to complainant had been caused by the defen- dant's wife who went there smarting under the slander circulated albout the village by the complainant. The Chairman said that the magistrates were of opinion that the assault had been committed, and they iimposed a fine- of as and

Teify Board of Conservators. Mr D. Jones-Lloyd, Gilfachwen, presided over a quarterly meeting of the board, held at the Portli Hotel, Llandyssul, on Friday. The clerk (Air Howell) reported having re- ceived correspondence from Newport fisher- men complaining of the action of trawler fishermen, but owing to the unreasonable terms of the Milford Haven Sea Fisheries he could only suggest that the head bailiff should send a man there occasionally. Mr F. Alorgan proposed that the terms of the Alilford Haven §>ea Fisheries be accepted, and after some discussion this was agreed to unanimously, the same to be in operation for one year only. The head bailiff (Air Griffiths) reported that the fishiing season had shown improvement, and the weight of salmon during the year was as folkws :-Kj]gerran, 3 tons 13cwts. Newport, 4cwt. lqr.
