PRACTICAL FARMING
PRACTICAL FARMING (BY A TENANT FARMER). DRAUGHTY SHEDS. We arc now in w.-nter with all its chilling in- fluences, and while no farm stock appreciate a hot house system of treatment sucn comforts should be afforded all indoors as will be absolutely pro- hibitive ol chills being caught. There is such danger of thos in many instances. Horses very often catch cold in draughty stables. They are tie, most susceptable of animals because tiiey are fre- quently in a state of sweaty ferment when brought in from their work and then chills are hardly avoidable. Indeed they are occuring every day now and yill do so all winter unless precautions are taken to avert them. I am making a speciality of the stable for reasons just stated. There are two extremes of them met w.th. one is a most cosy air- less affair, the other admitting all blasts, neither are good. Indeed it is difficult to say which is worst. Horses catch cold in coming out of a hot stable, and they are chilled to the bone in a wmdy or draughty one. Be it fully understood I am not writing against ventilation. Far from this, I am an intense believer in the ample ventilation of all stock shelters in winter, but ventilation is one thing and draughts vastly different. Proper ventilation is designed and conducted to maintain and improve the health of the inmate, while draughts are tolerated at the risk of injuring and killing them. Draughty sheds are good for neither man nor beast, and no living thing enjoys them, and allowing them is a fearful mistake in all cases, whether it be in stables, cow sds, calf pens or pig cots. Ventilating build.ngs by allowing the wind to blow in at the doors and windows is a wretched way. It is full of discomfort. Having holes in the walls are quite as bad. In every case there should be no draughts admitted on a level with the animals. If there is they must be blown on and chilled to the marrow at a time they should be free from all such influences. In short no ven- tilation should be allowed at a lower level than the eaves, and it is better still if only confined to the ridge of the houses. All objectionable a:l' rises upwards. If it can escape at once at the top.the interior of the sheds will be constantly pure and there will be a bracing comfort about the whole affair that keeps the animals exceedingly robust. The doors at least of sheds will be frequently open, bat this need not count either for or against vent-lation and attention should always be given in rough weather that the doors are not left open any long- er than is necessary. MANGOLD YIELDS. Now that mangolds have all been handled and harvested the crops generally are (bsappo riting. Many of the roots are very small, while the very large ones are more than usually vacant in the middle and found hollow when cut. This is all traceable to a deficiency of sunshine in the autumn and I much fear their feeding properties will also BE deficient. The majority of crops are nearer 20 tons or 40 this season. LINCOLN CURLY COATED PIGS. "Somerset" is anxious to learn the points of these increasingly popular p:gs with the view of intro- ducing some pure specimens into his county he and others cannot do better than adopt the scale of points observed by the breeds association These consist of neck medium length and "width between the eyes and ears 5. Ears mednun length and not too much over face 10, jowl heavy 5, chest wide and deep 3, shoulders wide 15, back long and level 10, sides verv (leep and ribs well sprung 10. loin, broad 5, quarters, large and well filled to hocks 15 tail, set high and thick 3, legs, short and straight 5, belly and flank. thick and well filled 3, coat fair quality of curly or wavy hair 8, total points 100. Objections, narrow forehead and thin ears, dis- qualifications pricked ears, dished no.42. coarse, straight, or bristly coat, colour of hair any other than white. SOYA BEAN CAKE. The soya bean cake is a Chinese production long used in that country as a native food and employed in Britain for feeding stock. It is amongst the new- est foods and its qualifications are as yet not gener- ally understood by farmers and feeders. The re- ports of its merits are various and many are in doubt. For this reason I give some particulars re- sulting from trials conducted by the Edinburgh and East of Scotland College of Agriculture last winter. It is here said the soya bean cake is a perfectly safe food when used with discretion, but not with- standing its high analysis ordinary soya bean cake at JB6 15s Od, per ton seems to be a dearer feeding stuff than good linseed cake at £ 9. That the poorer the soya bean cake is in oil the better are the results obtained for the soya benn cake containing 6 per cent oil has given more profit than the cake with 8 per cent oil and still more one with 11 per cent. and when the increased cost of the richer cake is taken into consideration the results are much in favour of the soya bean cake with least oil. It would seem that the unsatisfactory results obtained with the soya bean are due to some property of the oil in this food. Personally I have tried this cake with various stock but I was never much gratified. WHEAT AFTER WHEAT. Locking the stable door after the house is stolen is not an uncommon practice, writing for advice after an act is committed a similar proceedings. "Youn"- Farmer," Worcester, asks if it is a vehy bad and an unproductive practise to sow wheat after wheat? He has done so this autumn and nm. won- ders as to the correctness of the step. The wiser plan which I would be glad were it more followed is to request advice first. This is a comrnenda-ble "stitch in time saving nine" system which I submit for mv reader's consideration. If Young Farmer has sown his wheat after wheat without giving dung or artificials his next years crop stands a good chance of being a great reduction on this seasons yield, but if the soil has been well fertilised he need lose nothing and probably gain on the previous crop. Dung is the mainstay of wheat after wheat and ar- tificals are helpful applied in the spring. FOODS THAT SECURE GREAT MILK AND BUTTER YIELDS. Whenever a cow is heard of that is notoriously great in yields of milk and butter, a general desire is experienced to learn of how she is fed and what amounts of foods she consumes. The inquisitive- ness is pardonable as these points are of the utmost importance and have a vast influence. I note the Americans are as anxious on these points as our- selves, indeed more so, as. in publishing milk and butter records tlie puant.ty and character of the rations are usually "appended. This is useful and acceptable. An excellent instance of this is given in ivuticuiars published of that world famous Am- ican cow Missv of the Glen, a six year old Guernsey, which holds the record of the universe m milk and butter aiving to-day. From December 1908 until November, 1909, or a period of 12 months this cow gave 14591.70 lbs of milk and 954.(0 lbs of butter fat which equals 1100 Ibs of butter It is magmfi- cent work and she is a perfect gold mine in cows. but she was evidently run for all she was worth, in the way of feeding and that is the right way. Stint- ed rations and glorius violds never go hand in hand irrespective of breed, character or December when Missy of the Gien gave ll^J.r-0 lb 1 r-7 n, 11 r L 1. ,>.of- fí'o1' tllP fi1't of milk and OO.qo ms butter T»I, *«»• < .,y; 10 davs 20 daisy dairy feed, 15 Ibs oil meal 25 lb., oats, 100 lbs corn meal, and 105 Iho; bran then her increased fare was composed of 148 lbs Mo.assine Meal 86 lbs daisv dairy meal, 50 lbs oil meal, _t>u lbs alfalfa meal, 100 oats. 100 Ibs gluten. 60 Ibs ajax flakes, and 400 Ih" of beet pulp. The month in which the butter fat was most abundant. was tober when it reached 104.41 lbs. The food L,:ivon in that month consisted of 65 lbs. oi Molassine Meal, 10 lbs of cottonseed meal, 20 lbs oil meal. 60 lbs bran 58 lbs oats, 65 Ibs corn meal, 60 Ibs alfalfa nieal 65 lbs daisy dairy fed, 60 lbs beet pulp, 31 lbs gluten, and pastures." Some of these foods are not faimhar to Bvitiah feeders but oats and Molassine Meal, which we all know so well figure conspicuously in the rations every month in the year. Readers requiring advice or information by post must address their communications to Farmer do The Editor, and in all cases enclose stampeh di- rected envelope.

CARMARTHEN FAIR. CARMARTHEN. Monday.— Ffair Calan Gauaf (All Hallows' E'en Fair) was held here to-day. The horses, which paraded the main thoroughfares, were not so numerous as this time last year. A large number of dealers from England were present. Carters, which were in great demand, sold pretty well-four years olds went at 235 to £ 60; three year olds £ UJ to E35, two year olds C,20 to JB25, and year- lings JB15 to E20. There was no great display of carriage and harness horses, and many would-be pur- chasers were greatly disappointed; those which ex- changed hands went at £ 25 to £ 35. A few well-kn-t cobs were on offer at JB25 to £40. Ponies, which were scarce and by no means of the superior ordei. realised JE15 to JL-25. The cattle fair, which tool< place in the Market-place, was quite as large as that of last November. Trade, however, was not as brisk as it has been, dealers having experienced bad busi- ness in England. Farmers were, therefore, buying small cattle more largely than the ordinary dealer. On this account, in this section of the cattle depart-- ment satisfactory deals were effected. Stores said at £ 8 to E9, but bigger cattle did not command good prices, bullocks only making £10 10s. to JS12, and they were really worth the money. Although there was a large supply of cows and calves, they were not in great request, the quotations being JB14 to £ 18. There was a fairly keen desire for lat cattle, but those offered, -,vii.eii were not thick and good enough, went at £ 12 to £ 15 10s. Messrs .Lloyd and Thomas, Carmarthen, auctioneers, disposed of 60 head of cattle at the above-mentioned figures. In the early part of the day business in the tiannel fair was not brisk, but trade improved in the afternoon. when farmers, their wives, and servants had more leisure, 'ihe quotat-ons were:—Shirtings, Is per yard; cloth 2s lOd; blouse stuffs Is ld to Is 2d; blankets 18s 3d' to £ 1 2s a pair; and; shawls 10s bd to 125 each. In the old days man and maid servants used to be hired at this fair, but now twelvemonth agreements are previously privately effected as from this date. The wages generally given now are—for strong youths, 1;17 to £ 25, with keep; men of ex- perience, 1;27 to £ 28; and dairymaids, J315 to ElS. LLANDILO FAIR.—The All Hallowtide Fair was held at Llandilo on Saturday. The number of horses for sale was much below the average, and business seemed somewhat quieter. Carters sold at from JB25 to JB25. some of the best makin- J345 to j350, light carters £ 22 to £ 34, yearlings sold well from £ 10 to £ 17, cobs £ 15 to £ 20, and a few yearling hackneys £3 to £ 11. There was a large number of cattle for sale, and a fair trade was done-year- lings sold from JE4 10s. to E10 10s.. two-year-olds £ 11 to E13 10s., fat cattle 10s to 10s 6d per score, cowfe and calves B12 to 1;18 10s each.

Jones, Derlwyn; Mr. John Lloyd, Penybank; Mr. J. Ll. Thomas, Gilfach; Mr. J. Ll. Thomas, Tanylan; Mr. D. John, St. Clears, and the Rev. A. Fuller Mills. The new Mayor of Carmarthen, Mr. William Thomas, was sworn in as a magistrate. ASSAULT. Thomas Griffiths, Glanfaur, Llanpumpsaint, charged Thomas Davies, Penllwyniorwg, of the same parish, with having assaulted him on the 2nd of November. Mr. H. Brunei White appeared for the complain- ant, and Mr. James John for the defendant. Complainant said that on the morning of Nov. 2nd, he was leading his horse and cart up the lane to the fatmyard belonging to defendant. He had to go through the farmyard in order to gain the high road. As he went up the lane, a colt belong- ing to defendant went up the lane in front of him. On arriving at the gate, complainat touched the colt with a thin stick he carried in his left hand in order to turn it back. The defendant who was in the farmyard, called out to me, "Don't hit the colt." Defendant then struck him a severe blow on the cheek. Complainant left the horse and cart in the lane while he went to the Conwil Police Station. Crossexamined: He denied having attempted to kick the defendant. Defendant had told him if he did not leave the yard he would be killed. Defendant gave evidence to the effect that about 7.30 it.in on Nov. 2nd, he was in the yard at Pea- llwyniorwg, when he saw the complainant coming up the lane with the colt in front of hint. When complainant came to the gate he thrashed the colt severely, hitting it as hard as he could. Defend- ant said to him, "Don't h:t the colt." Complainant the said, "You come here, and yoo'!l get the same." He went up to complainant, and the later aimed a kick at him. Then lie struck him on the check. Cross-examined by Mr. White: Defendant admitted that complainant had given him valuable assistance when he first came to Penllwyniorwg, having given him hay and turnips, and when his (defendants') cart fell into the river, complainant had waded into the river to extricate the horse Daniel Davies, farm servant at Penllwyniorwg, corroborated the defentant's evidence. A fine of 5; and costs was imposed, DOG LICENCE. Jno. Rees Davies, Ffynonwen, Trelech, was charged with having a dog without a licence. P.C. D. J Davies said that he visited the defend- ant's residence on Sept. 1st, and found there a greyhound bitch. On asking him for a licence, de- fendant produced one made out to Evan John Jones, on the 13th May. Evan John Nicholas, farmer, Bryngwiddil, Llan- fynnach. said that a greyhound dog had come to his premises. He reported the matter .to the police, and advertized it. Some time afterwards defendant claimed the dog, and witness, who in the meantime had taken out a licence, transfered it to him. Defendant was fined 7s. 6d. and costs. MANSION ESCAPES RATES. The overseers of Llanstephan summoned Mrs. Piiilys Nina Lamb, in respect of non-payment of £ 7 16s. rates for Plas Mansion, Llanstephan^ which I was originally the residence of Sir John W illiams. On being cross-examined by Mr. H. Brunei White (solicitor for the defendant) he contended that since there was furniture in the house belonging to Mrs. Lamb, that the produce of the garden was sold i 9 by the caretaker, that the grass of the lawn had been made into hay, and since the caretaker carried on business as a photographer there, the owner ought to pay the rates. MiC Vincent Thomas, the agent, said that there was no furniture in the house belonging to the owner, with the exception of a dresser, which was a fixtnie in the kitchen. With this exception, all the furniture in the house belonged to William Vince, the caretaker. William Vince. the caretaker, corroborated Mr. Vincent Thomas' evidence. The contention for the defence was that since Mr. Vince was a caretaker, according to law no matter if ho lived there w: th his own family and had his furniture, no rates, could be demanded. The Bench upheld this contention, and dismissed the case. NON-ATTENDANCE. James Thomas, Llangain, was summoned for not sending Alfred Williams, a child under his care, regularly to school. Attendance Officer David Morgan stated that de- fendant had been warned several times on previous occasions. I A fine of Is. and costs was imposed. William Stokes, hawker, and Eli Burton, hawker. w"re changed with camping on the highway at HcoFas, Llangunnor.. the 10th inst. and found the defendant there. There Were aix horses on the road, and a large fire had been lighted. Defendants were fined 2a. 6d. and costs each. WHOSE DOG? Burton was also charged with keeping a dog with- out a licence. P.S. Williams said that when he visited their camp on the 10th a small brown terrier dog ran out from under one of the caravans. He asked defen- dant to produce his licence, and he said that the dog did not belong to him, and that it belonged to a man who had called at the camp yesterday morning. This charge was uismissod. TRESPASSING. Thomas John, Glynfryn; John Field, Defryn. and J. Perkins, Llandre, in the parish of Llanarthney, were charged by P.C. Gwilj-m Jenkins with trespass- ing on the Llwynmelin Fields on the 27th October. P.C. Jenkins. in giving evidence, said that he was on duty near Penarth, on the 27th October, and he saw the three defendants in Llwynmelin Field. The defendant Perkins had a. stick, with which he was beating the hedge. He asked them if they had per- mission, and they replied that they had permission to ferret in the adjoining field, which belonged to Lord Cawdor. Thomas Allen, gamekeeper, gave corroborative evi- dence. The defendants, on oath, emnhatically denied being in Llwynmelin fields at all. They declared that the evidence of the constable was untrue, and Perkins stated that P.C. Jenkins was jealous of them. After a protracted hearincr, the Chairman said that owing to the conflicting evidence, the Bench had de- cided to dismiss the case.
CARMARTHEN BOROUGH
CARMARTHEN BOROUGH MONDAY, November 12th.—Before the Mayor (Mr. William Thomas) and Messrs. Thomas Thomas, Harddfan: John Lewis, and James Davies. NEW MAYOR CONGRATULATED. Before commencing with the ordinary business of the Court, Mr. Thomas Thomas said that he had been requested by his brother magistrates to offer the new Mayor their warmest congratulations upon the very high position he had attained amongst his fellow townsmen a position which they all agreed Mr. William Thomas was thoroughly entitled to, and having in view the important year of office that was before him, in consequence of the great events that were to happen—especially touching them in Carmarthen was the National Eisteddfod-they looked forward with confidence to the part which the Mayor and Mrs. Thomas would have to take at those functions, and they were very glad that they had amongst them a gentleman so well able to carry out the duties to the honour of the old town. They hoped his year of office would be a very happy one, notwithstanding the onerous duties he had to per- form, and that at the end he would be very glad of the position that he had attained amongst his fellow- townsmen. On behalf of the Bench he oould assure the Mayor that they would give him every assistance, and he could rely on every assistance and co-operation of his townsmen. He wished him every success. Mr. John Lewis endorsed what Mr. Thomas had said. The intcrest the new Mayor had already taken in the National Eisteddfod, showed what he would do in the future. He was sure the new Mayor would be a success in every way. Mr. H. B. White, as magistrate's clerk, heartily congratulated the Mayor, and wished him every success. The Mayor, in responding, said that he very much appreciated the honour of being there amongst them. He assured them that it gave him the greatest possible pleasure to be in such a honourable position. It would always be his endeavour during his year of office to discharge his duties in a perfect, just, and straightforward manner 60 far as in his power lay without fear or favour (hear, hear). He hoped that his conduct during his year of office would be such as to justify the confidence reposed in him by his fellow councillors. MAINTENANCE.

JN A New Brestbe-able Medicine for CDDBHS, COLDS & BRONCHITIS. THE only effect of liquid medicine on bronchitis and asthma, and on that hacking cough, is to deaden the nerves for a time, by means of the dangerous opium or morphia contained in such so-called remedies. Grave peril often comes from this mishandling of early symptoms, apart from the injury which powerful drugs like opium inflict when ignorantly and improperly used.. The inability to reacn the real spot where the bronchitis is must he set down as the stumbling block to all liquid cough mixtures. Science has, however, lately removed this difficulty by perfecting a unique method of breathing into the lungs certain rare medicinal fumes as they are set free from a tablet called Peps, slowly dissolving in the mouth. This wonderful I Peps tablet is an ingenious concentration of certain pure volatile oils, and each tablet till required for use is sealed and preserved in a silver wrapper, thus en- suring its keeping qualities and the highest curative power. The immediate action of these pleasant Peps fumes is marked in the grateful warming effect felt in the throat and che*t. The coufjh, most troublesome at night and in the damp foggy days, is rapidly soothed and banished; the inflamed tissues are H preserved in a silver wrapper, thus en- suring its keeping qualities and the highest curative power. The immediate action of these pleasant M Peps fumes is marked in the grateful B warming effect felt in the throat and chet. g The couh, most troublesome at night and g in the damp foggy days, is rapidly soothed j) and banished; the inflamed tissues are eased and the ^welling dispersed the hard 3? or obstinate phlegm, which caused the 5 painful coughing, is loosened and breath- ing becomes easy. Dangerous germs of 9 influenza and of other respiratory diseases I are attacked and destroyed, and a general 9 healthy tone is imparted to those parts I of the chest that Nature closes to all B liquid medicine.

W. Bishop, Llanelly, appeared for Mrs. Williams, whilst Mr. J. Glynne Hughes, Amman- ford, was on behalf of Davies. Complainant said she was, on the 28th ult., in Llandebie, accompanied by her sister. She had a babv in one hand and a basket, in which was a paraffin can, in the other. She passed defendant, who was leaning against a window-siil. and immedi- ately met a voung woman, about whom she made a remark to her sister. In consequence of that de- fendant called her a bad name. She turned back and remonstrated. He told her to go, and waved his hand in her face. She tried to stop that, and her basket touched his arm, whereupon he knocked her until she could not move on the road. Cross-examined—She denied that the presence of Davies was to her like a red rag to a bull. She got infuriated and wild when he called her bad names though. She admitted having struck defendant once with the basket, but denied having said if she had a knife she would stab him. Rosina Puch (sister) corroborated. P.C. J. Williams said that on the 28th nit. he had occasion to complainant, who comola-ned to him that Dav; had struck her and had called her bad am-. Her face was much flushed, which apneared to ""on caused by a blow. Cro=s-examined—He was not present when the two narties quarrelled, and his evidence was hear- siv, but h" saw her face was flushed nq if by a blow. He did not know the character of the woman. Defendant's foT-v was that Mrs. i'li-mo came on to him and anplied a epithet. He told her to look after her own character. She then raised the basket to strike him. but the nnrnfRn can 1-11 out- b.iti-n;(- Vier fsee. She hastd^ "kAd np the can .d .¡.hrp;>f-1 +0 Icnock ,1t his h'lins ^th it.

"NEIGHBOURS' OUARREL, Jane Davios (16), Tirycoeci-road, Glanamman, summoned Alary ivowiands, also 01 Tirycoed-road, tor assaulti. Mary Kowlanus summoned iJctcr Davies llather ot Jane Va v 1 (Xi) for assault. Mr. '1. K. Ludford, Lianeiiy, appeared for Jane Davies and Pecer Davies, whnat iVir. Wm ..Lioweils, LianeUy, was on behalf of Mary Rowlands. To save time, it was agreed to take the two cases together. Jane uavios said that on the 31st October she was in tne house about 5 p.m., and, in consequence ot what her mother told her, she went into the garden to arrange a sheet on the clothes' line. \Vhilst doing that she felt a blow on her face, and, on turning round, saw it was given by Srs. Row- lands. She fell down, and Mrs. Rowlands scratched her face aiid gave her two or three further blows. She screamed, and her father came up and asked Mrs. Rowlands what business had she there. She replied, "You'd better shut up or you'll have it." "Knock me," she continued, tucking up her sleeves. Witness's father replied, "I have never knocked a woman in my life and I never will." Then Mrs. Rowlands's son-in-law came up and gave n a blow which drew blood. Cross-examined—She denied that her father had been slandering Mrs. Rowlands, and had had to sign an apology and pay two .guineas as costs. As to herseif. she had not been beating defendant's grandson, who was 2 years old, nor had a quarrel with him; he was too small for that;. She admitted having told the children that the side-wav of the houses was not a walking gallery of theirs, and having sent them from the small coal to play. Petc-r Davies (father) said that about three years ago he took a summons out against Mrs. Row- lands's son-in-law, George Lewis, for assaulting him. -\lr. Howells—I object to that. The Clerk—You can't; you have cross-examined the girl as to that. Witness (continuing) said the case did not come on; it was settled. But he did riot make an apology nor paid any cost As to the alleged assault, he heard Irs little girl crying and a neighbour shout- iné: Davies. they are beating the girl." He I wen* out immediately, and saw Mrs. Rowlands in the garden with the girl about two yards from her crying piteouslv. Her hair was dishevelled and her face scratched. He spoke to Mrs. Rowlands, but one of her sons-in-law came on and struck him m the face. He took *:he girl to the house. ^Cross-examined.— Mr. Howells: On the 29th of September. 1907, were you summoned by Mrs. Rowlands for damage to her house and for sureties of the peace?—I don't say I was summoned for that. I What were you summoned for:-For something which I never did (laughter). Before going to the court did you apologise ?—No, apologise; no. And did vou say that you were very sorrv that you said the thincs against her voud idr'—No Did you sign a written apology?—No. Look at that (handing him a sheet of naper). Is that- your writing?—Yes, that is my writing. Mr. Howells then read out the apology, as fol- lows:—To Mrs. Rowdands. Tirycoed-road, Glan- amman, Sept. 28th, 1907. Dear Madam,—I hereby withdraw all things I have said against you, and apologise there for." Witness hastily made an explanation, saying life was under the impression that he had to sign something to get the case withdrawn. He never knew it was an apology. First of all Mrs. Row- lands came to him outside the Town Hall. Llan- dilo. and asked him if it would not be better to settle the matter. He asked her whv had she not spoken to him previously. He had paid his solicitor for appearing (laughter). I Further croga-exani Ined-He did not call Mrs. Rowlands "a devilish old cow,' nor struck her on f the shoulder. Also, he did not say, "I have a bottle of vitriol in the house, and if you come this side-way again I will throw it at vour eyes and blind you." Re-examined—He thought the statement lifei signed was something required at the court to dis- miss the case, "and Mr. Howells here was in such a hurry at the 1¡,Ïme." he added amidst laughter. Blodwen Evan" also of Tirycoed-road, said Davies did not touch Mrs. Rowlands. She saw him talk- ing to her and heard the altercation. A. Jenkins spoke to seeing Mrs. Rowlands strike Jane Davies down to the ground. From first to last Davies did not touch Mrs. Rowlands. Air'. Mrs. Rowlands's story was that Jane Davies ha-1 been beating her little grandson, first in the mor ing- and then in the afternoon. When she prooeef after her she ran to the house and called her names. However, in the afternoon, whilst she v at the tan, witness went and spoke to her, and to, her if her mother would not correct her she would. Witness then gave her a hiding on the back. Davies then came out, and, making use of a bad remark, knocked her on the shoulder, and was going to strike her a.ffa.in when her son-in-law came out and defended her. Cross-examined—She denied having kept lodgers, and having given two of them black-eyes. David W. Thomas (son-in-law) .Alice Maud Lewis (daughter), and George Lewis (son-in-law) corrobo- rated. All three, in cross-examination, said that Mrs. Rowlands, whilst talking to Jane Davies. com- plained about the names she was calling her and nothing more. She never said anything about the girl beating her grand-children. Mr. DuBuisson said they had given every possible consideration to the two cases, and they had come to the conclusion that in the first case, that of Jane Daviee against Mrs. Rowlands, there must be a conviction. The assault was unjustifiable. A fine- of 10s. and costs would be imposed, and the case of Mrs. Rowlands against Davies would be dismissed.
