Bliss, Ferndale, was charged with being drunk and disorderly and assault- r, y ing the police. P.O. Osborne said that defendant threw three snowballs at him, and when remon- I stratecl with, defendant said that what he aimed at was witness' helmet. When arrested, defendant became very violent and struck witness about the body. The Chairman characterised the offence as a. very blackguardly one, and said that defendant added insult to injury by say- ing that he wanted to hit the policeman's helmet. Previous convictions for assaulting the police in 1907 having been proved against him, defendant was fined 10*9. for being drunk and disorderly, and JE2 for the assault. DROWNING TOO MUCH FOR HIM. Robert Milliards, labourer, of no fixed abode, was charged with attempting suicide. Geo. Williams, butcher, Treforest, said that lie saw prisoner standing on the Castle Bridge, Rhydfelan, tying a muffler round his legs, afterwards plunging into the river beneath. P.C. Evans said that when he arrived on the spot, prisoner was s.tanding in four feet of water, leaning against a. pillar of the bridge. He refused to come out of the river when requested, and witness brought him out and put him on the Cardiff Road. Prisoner then said that he wanted to do away with himself, but that drowning was too much for him, and he would try another way next time. ¡ Prisoner also said that he 'had been drinking since Christmas and had not eaten anything. He also said that he had been working at Waungwyn Pit for some time, and that he was a married man with two children, against him. It was stated that there was a main- tenance order against defendant for the support of his wife and children. The case was remanded for a week. NOTHING ON CHARACTER EXCEPT DRINK." Sarah Morris, of no fixed abode, was summoned for theft. Eliz. Lewis, barmaid at the New Inn Hotel, Pontypridd, said that defendant came into the hotel about 10 p.m. on Wednesday, 3(Jth December, and asked for twopennyworth of bread and cheese. After having supplied the woman, wit- ness left the room. Some time later, witness discovered that a glass and plate were missing. P.O. Thomas said that he saw the defendant in the street, carrying the articles in her hand. Asked where she obtained them, she declared that she had stolen them. At the Police Court, defendant denied having stolen the articles. Forty-six pre- vious convictions wero recorded against prisoner. Prisonet': There is nothing on my character, only a drop of drink. The Chairman To your credit, there is nothing against you for stealing; before. Prisoner was fined £ 1, or fourteen days. SLEEPING IN THE MINE. j.i Price, labourer, employed at the J revor Pit, Trehafod (Lewis Merthyr, Limited), was summoned for sleeping in the mine with a lighted lamp in his pos- session. A fine of 30s. was imposed. A similar fine. was imposed upon Rd. Harries, labourer at the same colliery, for a, like offence. Mr. Stanley Jones, Pontypridd, prose- cuted. A COLD BED. Wm. Harding, Portli, was brought to the Portli Police Station on Thursday morning, having been found sleeping in the snow. He was helplessly drunk and quite unable to give any account of' him- self. The Chairman: You had a very cold bed; you must have been well charged with liquor. A fine of 10s. was imposed. ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT. Thomas Morgan, salesman, Trealaw, was charged with embezzling various sums of money belonging: to Messrs. J. Jones and Son, wholesale fruiterers, Tonypandy. Mr. D. W. James, Tonypandy, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. James Phillips defended.

Among those against whom these alleged false entries had been made was Councillor L. P. Griffiths, Dinas. Defendant was committed to the Quarter Sessions.

A Friend for Little Children. TO GUARD THEM AGAINST COUGHS AND COLDS DURING THE HOLIDAYS. To all careful mothers the early days of the New Year bring an anxious time. The little ones so thoroughly enter into the spirit of parties and dances, and the delights of the pantomime, that they run great risk of catching colds in the raw night air on the way home. Even if they escape sore throats, or croup, how easy y r. itS for a seemingly simple cold to bring about serious and oft-times permanent lung mischief. There is danger, too of pleurisy or pneumonia, for the chests of little children are always susceptible to sudden changes from heat to cold. A novel, efficient, and rational treat- ment for children's coughs, colds, and chest troubles, has at last been provided in Peps, the pleasant breatlie-able medi- cine in handy tablet form. The great fault of the old-fashioned home remedies for coughs and colds is that they do not cure, but merely hide for a time the pro- minent symptoms. Ordinary cough- mixtures, sold over the counter, are often even worse, for they usually contain opium, chloral, morphia, and other per- nicious drugs. Peps, on the other hand, rely on the soothing, healing, antiseptic, and germi- dical properties of certain rare essences which are breathed into the lungs as the tablets dissolve in the mouth. All children take rapidly to Peps, which can be taken with absolute safety. One little Peps tablet at bed-time will clear the throat and chest of the day's dust and "cold-perms" that may have invaded the breathing passages, and so help to induce sleep without coughing fits. A Peps tablet before starting out for school in the raw cold morning air is also an invaluable safeguard for the children's ]/T !UK^ chests.

Ton-Pentre Police Court, Monday .—Before the Stipendiary (Mr. Attliur Lewis), X. P, Jonlviiis E. Jones W. T. Jones, Enoch Davies.. Aider- man E. H. Davies, Messrs. R. S. Griffiths and J. D. Williams. SCOTLAND YARD'S RECORDS. John Wilson and Harry Allison, the two painters who were remanded a week ago on a charge ol stealing a quantity of painter's tools, &cf., from Mr. Isaac Cohen's shop, Pentre, were again brought up in custody. Inspeotor Edwards handed a paper up to the Bench, which, he said, had been sent to him by Scotland Yard on receipt of prisoners' finger-printe. The paper 9 contained sixteen previous convictions -against Wilson, including many offences similar to the one he was now charged with. At the last hearing, Wilson said ■that lie had never before been inside a Police Court. Wilson now declared that he was very sorry for what he had done. It was all done through drink," he said, u and if you'll give me another chance, I'll give up the drink and leave the country altogether." The Stipendiary: Last week I was dis- posed to take a lenient view of your case, but I am glad now that it was remanded ifor a week. You will be sent to prison for a month's hard labour. Allison, against whom nothing was known, was ordered to pay 10s. Allison: I have no money. The Stipendiary: Very well. Seven ,days! THE MAN WITH THE BAG. Samuel Dickens, boilermaker's assis- tant, was charged with stealing 811bs. of brass turnings, valued at JE1 Os. 3d., the property of Messrs. Llewellyn and Cubitt, Rliondda Engineering Works, Pentre. Llewellyn Phillips, foreman fitter at the works, said that at 11.45 p.m. on Monday, 28th December, from what he was told by P.S. Baker, he went to a house at Gelli, where he was shown a quantity of brass turnings in a sack similar to those kept in the fitters' shop. He found on -the following day that a large quantity of brass turnings were missing from the shop. P.S. Baker, Gelli, said that at 10.30 p.m., 28th December, he was on duty in --Golli Road, Gelli, when lie saw defendant carrying a isacii on his back. Witness asked him what it contained, and defen- dant said first 0f all that it only con- tained a few cinders, but when, witness felt the bag, defendant said lie had some hreosè" in it. Witness then took him to Ion Police Station, and when charged, defendant said that ho found the bag on Ion Bridge and was going; to take it home. Defendant was then charged with receiving stolen property knowing: it to have been stolen, and he made no reply. Llewellyn Phillips, recalled, said that defendant had been employed at the foundry for twenty years, and nothing was known against his- character. J he Stipendiary said that he would take ivifu f?n er,a^um *s loilS connection imposed5 employers- and a fille of £ 1 was COAL STEALING. Lath. Ann Griffiths, Eliz. Stokes, Eliz.

The Stipendiary said that coal stealing was a very, common offence in the dis- trict, and the next time offenders were brought against him lie would send them to prison, as he found that fines were no deterrent.
