SALMON ROE PASTE SMART CAPTURE BY WATER BAILIFFS. UNIQUE PROSECUTION AT CARMARTHEN. There, was a large attendance of the genera! pubhc at tho Carmarthen Borough Police Court on Mon- day last, when unusual interest was evinced in cttscs probably umque. in the Princtpatity. The summonse& were issued at the. instigation of Mr. H. 0. Long Price, superintendent ot wat<'r-bailin's under tho Towy Fishery Board for the iuegal pO,;8"S- sion and sale uf a. deadly trout bait made from thf) roc of satmon just about to spa.?n, an on'?ncc ?xcpf?iingiy 'ItiBcult to detect, and ?hich -*)ad takoit Supt.

Qu!t<' a sensa- tion was caused in court when Supt. LOlIg Priw produced on tiit, table over a dozen bottles of ih<' paste weighing over a quartet- of a cwt. Mr. C." Hubert Morgan Grtfhths. cicrk to. the Towy Board of Conservators, prosecuted, and Mr. Prico WtUiams appeared for the defendants, all of whom pleaded gmtty. Tilt* Bench having intimated that they wou!d like to hear tho facts, Mr. Morgan Grimths said that sahnon-roe p--st4, was a. moat destructive nie-tbod of hsn'ng and most dimcutt to detect: It was rarefy it was detected. In this cas4,, the Supt. Water-BaHin' (Mr. H. 0. Long Price) was suspicious that a good quantity was sotd in Carma.rthen, and a good quantity uH<*d. Tho negotiations leading to the. detection of this case began many trioiitil,; ago. As far back as last August the Superintendent received .information winch led him to betiev<* John Thomas, the defen- dant, was setting sahnon-roe, and he thereforo in- structed Bailiff WiUiams, in the employ of the BoarH, Hut a stranger in Carmarthen, and not known as a water baitin. to vtsit U)e house and find out whether salmon-roe wass oM or not. On the 19th August Williams went in the evening and in order to make it appear he was an ordinary Bsherman he went on his bicycte to which he. attached a fishing rod. When the defendant opened the door he nut on a. hesitating manner, and aid he was Joth to give his message in case the defendant was not the rig'ht man. John Thomas sai<L "Oh. i see what you want, you are a nsherman, you Want. saimon roc." He added. "I have none at present, hut if you come at Christmas time I shall have a good quan- tity." The bailiff catted -on-w time in September, but missed him. On Christmas Ev?*Ae called at the house again, when Thomas said he had no salmon roe then because the rivers were too ful), and they couldn't catch salmon at that time. Correspondence followed between defendant Thomas and the bailiff. who posed as a Ssherman from Ua-ngenncch, and afterwards Pontardu)a.is. On March 7th BaihfF WiHIams went to the house of John Thomas, who produced salmon roe paste, and after panic haggling as to price, one jar was sold at. 14s. to the bailin. who then took it away. ome conversation took p)ace as to defendant Thomas having gone to Brecon to buy the stuff, when he said he didn't go himself but sent his daughter, and he had some stufT at his daughter';o. house, because people- were beginning to suspect him, seeing men coming there on Mundavs to purchase this stun". He said he. had sold a lot of stuff to various gentlemen in the p)ace. jinctuding some of the biggest met' to he found in Carmarthen. Mr. Morgan Grimths a(1(4(,d "1 am not sure he didn't mention names, but I won't go further than that." He hoped the magistrates wou)d look upon this method of fishing as most destructive to nsh, and not impose such a nenatty as might lead poople to mt'er they regarded this as s trivial oti'cnce. The Fishery Boaru went to great expense for the very largo and increasing number of men who takft out licences to fish for trout in a legitimate wav. Licenses were taken our year after year by thou- sand-; who expected to have good .sport, and he dare- say some of the magistrates might know from hear- say and have read in books that this was really a most destructive- way they m)ght adopt, to destroy nsh; they coutd not speak of sport in connection with it; but of destruction. With reference to the. case agaiti,t Mary Ann Hawkc, the daughter. Wit Hams went there on the 4th March. and a cupboard was ued which showed a targo Dumber of pots, and smaU. pot was sold at 7s. 3d. The bailiff then it and appiied for ;t search warrant. After having obtained it he went with P. PhiHips. P.C. Davies and the Superintendent of Water bailiffs to the house, and in justice to Mr. Hawke he would say the. latter sa)d at once the pots of roe were in tho cupboard, and toid his wife to givo them to the gentietnan. The Superintendent accepted his word that there was no more in the house, and took possession of those seven pots produced. Mr. Price Wi))ia.ms said it was true on the 3rd a. bottte was sold by the defendant John Thomas, and on the 4th by h;s daughter. Mrs. Hawke. and that tho stufF was fourxi a.s .tutt" it might, bo there were difterent degree's of cutpa-biiity, but none of them wished to take advantage at the expense of the others, and were each prepared to accept fuii respon-stbiliry in respect of such offence, !'u< thLr might be one or two mailers which might be mrn- tioned in mittgation. He was informed that Evan Wiitiams had. ever since March )a.st been approach- ing these people with a view; to obtaining this stun'. iime a.n<tagam he- had been Vtsinng there, and had wntK'n there, a.nd each time he had h('l'l: told the de:endant Thomas wa not se]i)ng. Mr. Morgan Uriniths said he )Jt.d direct evidence to <-ontrad)ut. tl):!t. and he must ca)t if ob- jection was taken to the faets as he had stated them ;.t the mv.tatior. of the Bench, the dd('lldant¡.¡ hav- mg p?ade<t gudn.

Burry Pr;rt were present, but no decision having been given neither would take part hi the proceedings. The Clerk read the returns of the recent flection. and in regard to the North Ward, Pembrey, where there was a tie between the old member, Rev. J. II. Rees, and Mr. Da-vies, Sta.r Inn, Trimsaran, stid that unless cither candidate petitioned, the Council couid or<Jer another ejection. Dr. Thomas asked if they could bind these two gentlemen without consent until the da.tc for ladg- ing a petition expired. Rev. Fuller Mius—Have bodi power to vote? The Cterk—Neither of them. The Cierk read letters written by Mr. Edmunds, sohcitor, acting for Mr. Thomas Kvan Da vies, with respect to the position, in which It was alleged that the tatter undoubtedty had a majority of the votes po]ted, an<) stating- that a man named John Lewis had personated another vote. -Sir James HiDs-Johnes said the correspondence was very interMting, but he didn't se.e that they were called upon to give a decision on the matter. In repiy to Mr. W. B. Jones, the Ck-rk said he did not think they could cal! for the disputed voting- paper to be produced before the Council. He had written to the Locul Government Board on the sub- ject of the tie. and their view was that it was open to either of the candidates to petition, but fading that a new election would have to be hetd. He did not ask whether the County Council could see this parucuiar voting paper, but he would a."k if de- sired. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. Mr. Tom Jones in a speech at the outlet of the business referred. to the. increased work of the County Councit. and caused much merriment by observing that he hoped Lord Robbery would in- <tude in h)s proposals dtat a portion of the House shou)d be elected by the County Council. He paid a high tribute to the abdity and courtesy of tiw t ierk. and concluded by moving that Mr John Johns, Parceithyn. be elected chairman. Mr. David Evans seconded, and the motion was earned Professor Jones humorously asking whether the oid chairman or the now chairman was to repre- sent them m the Gilded Chamber. Mr. John John' on taking the chair amidst ap- plause, m rcturnmg thanks referred to the Old Age Iens.ons and Small Holdings Act, observing that .the chief defect in the latter, from his ex- perience, was tho mode of &Yjng' the rent, which was hxed, after a computsory order was obtained, bv a vatuer appointl.d by the Board of AgMcuIture. ihe landlord had no remedy, and had to accent th, pnce ptaced on )t.. The valuer naturally erred on the side of the mdivjduat and not on the side of the County Council although the applicant might re- fuse to take it. Through that cause the price 6xed it too h)gh, and he beii&ved in nxing the rent in open court, both -stdes bemg argued before an ar- bitrator or some tnbuna: appointed for the pur- pose (apptause). He furtiier rema-rhed that, m t'.e pose (apptause). He furtiier rema-rhed that, m t'.e demand iioto for rates the general countv rabo and the Lducunon rate was set down as one. The large rura) parish of LianeHy put the contributions to the countv down aI, 5-d. more than it actuaMv was, and was that. not a take. and fraudulent sta.tcment tlauqhter). It surprt;e< him that the HaneUv mem- bos ta<-)tiy admitted the correctness of the state- ment bv acquiescing withouc a protest or murmur Mr. David—I say it is not true. You may say so. Mr. W. B Jones—1 thought you said the state- ment wits false Several other members also protested, and Sir James HtUs-Johnes thought they should proceed wtth the business. They had been there over an hour. a.nd had not got the Erst election over (hear near), ihen foitowed scenes unprecedented in the history of the Council having regard to the occa- :011. The Chairman persisted in his statement amidst th- protest of the ]Jane)iy member, who comnla.ined of bpln,g- uniau-iy treated in that notice ot sucii a .x-r)ous anes-anon had not be<'n given them. Pro- ('('<,<Iing, the Chau'nrAn said: "It is much to be re- gretted that the Education ftue.stion has not been setHed. I <ay dip.
