Llandilo. SATHRDAY, January 6th.—Before Messrs. Herbert Peel, L. N. Powell.: HeJlQY Jones-Thomas, W. E. Richards, Evan Jones, William Hopkin, Mervyn Peel, and J. Picton. THE LATE LORD-LIEUTENANT. Be ft re proceeding with the transaction of the petty sessonal business, Mr. Herbert Peel proposed a vote of condolence on the death of Mr. Gwynne-Hughes, Lord- Lieutenant ror the County of Carmarthen, which occurred at the beginning of the week. The late Lord-Lieutenant, he said, was well known to them all, being used wheir-ver in good health to attend on the Bench, and a verv excellent magistrate he made. He had also much experience as Lord-Lieutenant of the county for the two or three years he held office, and during that time he had transacted the business connected therewith in a most trustworthy manner. He (Mr. Peel) therefore proposed a vote of t-ondolenoe with Mrs. Gwynne- Hughes and Mr. and Mrs. Phillips, his son- in-law and naughter. Mr. Mervyn Peel said he should like to r-lsoeiiate ihnnself, especially a's an oTd friend of tL Tregoyb family, with the words uttered by the Chairman in, propos- ing the vote. This Bench of magistrates had suffered a severe loss by the death of the 'ate Mr. Gwynne-Hughes, and as a Bench they would miss him for many a long year to come. As tho Chairman had J said, he was a good magistrate, and his presence was always valued upon the Bench whenever he was able to fit. As a lord-Lieutenant of the county during the last few years, the whole of the county would miss nim, and to-day it mourned his loss. He was one of those whose kindness of heart brought him into contact with all the best movements throughout the county, nelping those movements in every possible way that he could, and his generosity and sympathy for all charitable objects were so well known that he (the speaker) need not di!ate upon them. The fact remained: They had now to mourn his loss, and they wodd feel is absence for the rest of their l'iT-es, he thought he might say without exaggeration. Heartily in sympathy with every word uttered, he (Mr. Peel) hoped that the vote recoiding their sympathy with the famuy may be received by them as some slight consolation, and that it will help them to Learn to what an extent the iate Lord-Lieutenant was valued by the county and by this Bench. Mr: T. H. Powell (on behalf of the legal profession1! and the Deputy-Chief Constable J. Evans (on behalf of the police) associated themselves with the vote, which was im- pressively carried in silence. CONDOLENCES WITH FAMILY OF THE LATE MR. BISHOP. Mr. Herbert Peel said he had another proposition to make relative to the death of thoir late Clerk (Mr. Lewis Bishop), ."lto for something like thirty years he (Mr. ^'eel) iir.d sat as magistrate when his health permitted, with the late Mr. Bishop as clerk, and he had always found him a 1-nost upright and impartial clerk, very painstaking and punctilious in the transla- tion of evidence correctly. They had lost a very yalna.ble servant, whose place -,y,otild bc- ("i'fieult to fill. He, therefore, proposed a -vote of condolence with Mr-9. Bislrop and those around her. She had io-t a kind und sympathetic husband, who in the prime of life was one of the most unselfish men he (Mr. Peel) had known. Mr. L. N. Powell seconded the vote, and stated he should also greatly miss their Int.e Ierl; He (Mr. Powell) had been sitting 011 that Bench now for nearly 23 years, and he had always admired the way Mr. Bishop acted as clerk, and valued the a.dvie- he gave them. He was a souncr lawyer and always guided them rightlv, so that iie would he greatly missed by all the justices. Mr. Gwyn C Porter, acting magistrates clerk, said he had been intimately associ- ated with Mr. Bishop the last setven years, and would like to add a tribute to fcis memory. In his character there were two outstanding traits. The first was his •courage. That was instanced by the won- derful piuclc—he might almost say the cheerful way—he bore his !ar-A long and lingering -ilne.s. The other was his sincerity. However anybody might, differ from him, they all recognised his honesty of [impose. With those words he wished to lie associated with the vote of condo- dence to his widow, Mrs. Bishop, who at- tended on him so devotedly, to Capt. J. W. Ilisliop. Mrs. Holland, and Mrs. Swin<\v. Mr. T. H, Powell, also associating him- self with the vote on behalf of the soli- citors praotieing in that court, stated lie had had more or less intimate knowledge of Mr. Bishop's worth in his public offices for very nearly twenty-two years. He had practised from time to time before him in that court and in the county court, and, as had alreadv been stated, no one who did so ,ould but be struck with the soundness ant ability with which he filled the offices. It would, he was quite sure. be a listinet loss to the courts in which 'he presided' as clerk and registrar and to the public at large. Mr. Bishop was sincere end upright, and always just as far as his views carried him However rntwh lie (Mr. Powell) might have differed from him in some of his decisions, he ndver felt any hesitation as to his honesty of purpose and his belief in the justice of his decision. Deputy Chief-Constable J. Evan*, on behalf of himself and the police of the livision, endorsed all the kind expressions riade, having known the late clerk since coming to the division fifteen years ago. The vote was carried in the usual man- r,er. TRANSFER, Mr. T. H Powell. on .behalf of Mrs. Phillips, wiribw of the late Mr. N. R. Philips. of the Railway Refreshment Rooms, applied for a temporary transfer of the license to herself. All the forma- lities had been complied with, and the transfer war; granted.

Defendant admitted both offerees. Deputy-Chief Constable Evans stated that .on the 7th December Sor James Hi'ls- J'r>hnes was returning in his motor-car from Carmarthen, and iii view of the fact that the defendant carried no lights, the ear collided' with the i orse and trap. The diiver stopped the motor-car as soon as he could and came down but could not fir-1 anybody about, hut saw on the road a seat, which he picked, up. The matter wae_ de- parted to the police, and upon inquiries beino; made it was discovered that the ce- fendant was the person in charge of the horse and tiap which collided with the motor-car. Defendant's reason for njt having stopped was, the Deputy thought, a very proper reason, namely, that the horse bolted, and could not be pullel up for some time. As soon as he was able ro get the horse under control defen Lint stated that no did return to the scene ( t the accident and saw no -one. Defendant stated he was returning from the Red Cross sale at 'Jandnlo. The horst. had lost a shoe and he walked it. hon-r. That was why he was out after lighting up time with no lights. He added that ,I. s trap was not, in any WilY damaged. D.C.C. Evans The motor-car ras damaged. The Chairman (Mr. Mervyn Peel) asked the defendant if he had paid any com- pensation for damage to the motorcar D,fendant.-I have promised to, s'r. He was fined 10s. in each case, and was i/npiessed with the importance of ca.ryiug lights immediately it got dark in view of the heavy traffic on the road. PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES P.O. AV. J. Thomas summoned Ben). R. Evans, Caeddtrwer, Capel Isaac, for not lUHng to his vehicle a white light slunvinar to the front. He pleaded guilty. When stopped by the officer, defendant seid, "I am very sorry I have no lamps. I have been longer than I thought in town and it the mill." In fining him 10s. the Chairman stated: "The Bench are obliged to enforce this Act most strictly in the interest of the public. It is hoped that all farmers in the district will realise the importance of it and obey the law. You muist take lights with you in case you may 'be delayed." LLANDILO OFFENDER. A charge 01 being drunk and disorderly was preferred against Wm. Burge, Bank Buildings, Llandilo. He admitted his guilt. P.C W. J.

'J ECZE-MA BEGAN WITH CHAPPED HANDS. ,1 §Zam-Buk The only Cure for Awful Burning Disease. TUST over a year ago I was J surprised to see that my j hands were 'chapped' all over," said Mr. D. R. Speirs, of 1176, Springburn Road, Glasgow, to a local reporter. "The cracks and cuts became deeper, and then began discharging. My hands burned terribly, and a dreadful pain went right up my arms. For months I did not know what it was to have a full night's rest" MI consulted a doctor, who told me Mr. D. R. Steirs. of Glasgow. that I was suffering from Eczema, and* gave me an ointment. I carried out his directions for some time, but finding I was not improving, I commenced to use remedies recommended by friends, but those also proved to be failures. At one of the local Infirmaries I was told to persevere with starch poultices. I did so for a long time, but like all the other things it did me no good. I suffered so much from pain and irritation I could hardly work" As a last hope, I purchased a box of Zam-Buk, and the result was really amazing. After applying the balm, the pain and heat vanished, and the eruptions on my hands rapidly passed away. Within a few days Zam-Buk had perfectly cured me, and I was I able to go about my work as I had not done for almost a year." FOR COLD IN THE HEAD, rub some Zam-Buk between the hands and breathe I in the medicinal odours from the evaporating balm. This loosens the stuffiness in the nose. clears the head, and relieves the dull, heavy feeling. Rubbing Zam-Buk over the forehead and up the nostrils is very beneficial. There is nothing like Zatit-Bitk for Cuts, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, Sprains, Sore Hands, Pimples, Rashes, Ecxema, Ringworm, Ulcers, Bad Legs, Piles, and Poisoned Wounds.

Frederick James said that he was at Llandovery Fair on the 16th November last, and vas near the Black Lion at 2.20 p.m. He saw Thomas Jones, Evan Davies, r;,nd Ebenezer Thoma. enter the house. P.C. Bevan accompanied him, both being in plain clothes, and they followed the. men into the house. He heard the defendant Jones ask the barman (defendant Edward DaVies) for three half-pints of beer, anol the barman supplied the three defendants with these. Defendant Jones said ha would pay for them, and the money was handed by him to the barman, who placed it in the till. He saw the three defendants consume the beer. Witness drew the bar- man's attention to the fact that treating was being allowed. He replied, There is no harm I in that." Defendant Jones said, '"Don't be foolish. Detfeiidfent Evan Davies said, "Go to the Army," whilst de- fendant Thomas made no reply. Witness then asked the barman vo call in the land- lord, and lie went out, but did not return. Defendants, when asked for their names, tried to rush out. He and P.C. Bevan stopoed them and got their names. He then went iol search of the landlord1, but, met the landlady, who stated that he was not at home, and that she was in charge of the house. Crcas-examinod—He was 23 years of age and had been two years in the force. He joined since the war. P.C. BtCviln gave corroborative evidence, and oHoss-examintd by Captain Cremlyn. he stated that he was 24 years uf age and I had been in the force two years.

Cremlyn and the Deputy- ¡ Chief Constable, the farmer objecting to the latter interfering in the proceedings in- ¡ asmuch as he was represented by a so, I- citor. Deputy-Chief Constable Evans retorted that it was his duty to defend the action of the pcAioe when ascensions were made concerning them. P.S. Deam testified as to having served a notice prohibiting treating on the licensee. For the defence, Edward Davies (one of the defendants) deposed that lie had kept I the Square and Compass at Llansadlwrn for eleven years, and no charge had been I made against him as such.

Davies and Thomas also each paid for- their gla?=ea of beer. It wa,s untrue that Jones paid for the_ three glasses of beer. The policeman said that Jones had treated the others, and vitness said "No." The police did not ask for the addresses on the first occasion, but came ba-ck subsequently for them. The aadresso3 were never refused, and there was no treating at the house. Crof.s-examined—The policeman did not ask him to go for the landlord. It was quite true to say that Jones paid for the drinks. Evidence k-as addused by the defendants Jones, Thomas, and Hvan Davie?, to the effect that each paid for his own drinks. Addressing the magistrates, Capt. Crem- lyn contended) that the defendants were perfect strangers to one another and there- fore it wa.s absurd to suggest that any treating had taken place The magistrates, after a consultation, decide.1 to dismiss all the summonses.

The first four men asked for gin- ger brandy; the defendant Harries asked for whisky; whilst Parry Jones asked for a glass of beer. The drinks were supplied bv the landlord! He and P.C. Bevan tasted the drink in the glasses of Harries and Jones, and found they contained whiskv and beer. He thereupon informed the landlord, in the presence of the two other defendants, that they were police- men. He told the landlord that the matter would be reported, when he replied. "It has been done; get out of my way." P.C. Bevan corroborated. The landlord (T. 0. Jones) stated it waS absolutely untrue that the defendant Har- ries hnd been served with a glass of whisky. It was also untrue that the de- fendant Jones had been served with beer. Harries had a gin per brandy, whilst Jones did not drink anything that day. John Harries corroborated, whilst the de- fendant Jones stated that he had called at rhe house for the purpose of changing a ten shilling Treasury Note. William Williams, Bronfeen, said he I heard the constable ask Harries if he had j been supplied with rum. Harries said "No. but I had a ginger brandy." j Captain Cremlyn made an eloquent speech for the defence, submitting that "either defendant was supplied with intoxi- cating drinks, and that if any question of doubt arose, the benefit of it should be given to defendants. j The magistrates concluded that the chargow had been proved and imposed a fine of 30s., with Gne guinea advocate's fee on the landlord, whilst the summonses asrainst Harries and Jones would be dis- missed upon payment of lis. costs each.
