NOT PROPERLY FENCED. Margaret Evans and Joseph Llewelyn Evans, of Blaencennen, Gwynfe, were char- ged with keeping sheep suspected of scab in a field not properly fenced. P.C. Roblin said: At 4.30 p.m. on the 19th February last, I saw 33 sheep on a field form- ing part of Bliaenoe/nmeni farm, in the pa,rish of Llangadock. Five of them appeared to be affected witih scab. The field was adjoining a parish road. I found several gaps in the .hedge abutting on the road, and marks of sheep having been passing back and fore through them quite recently. The gate lead- ing to the field was open about two feet. I called on the defendant Margaret Evans. I drew her attention to the sheep in quest-ion, the gaps in the hedge, the marks in the hedge, and1 the fact of the gate- being open. Sthle said ''These are the sheep that have bean examined here; they have been kept separate until today. A servant man sent them hene to-day after I had dipped them." On the 5th March I called at Blaencennen and saw both defendants together. I asked to see the veterinary inspector's certificate. They failed to produce it, and stated that they could not find it. Josepih Llew. Evans stated in his mother's presence- "The sheep belong to us both, not the one more than the other." I cannot tell you which name is en the certi- ficate, but I know we were talking by here which name we would put. Margaret Ervans then stated, "1 saw the veterinary inspectors certificate I don't know whose name was on it, but the sheep you saw here the other day are- tihe same sheep as the vet. examined." I received the certificate from the defendant about a week after. The Chairman a,sked the sergt. why he had suspected cue sheep of being afflicted with scab. P.S. It-obiin said that the wool was coming off them. The Supt. said that they would call the Vet. Inspector on that point. The witness said that the defendant told him that ioese were the same sheep which had been examined by the vet. Mr Ernest Jenkins, vet. inspector under the local authority said that on the 7th of March he visited the farm and found the sheep suffering from sheep scab. He had served notice making Blaenicennen an infected area. Mr Mervyn I eel asked if there was another notice served when a farm ceased to be an infected area. The Inspector said that there was another form for that purpose. Mr Peel asked how long sheep scab would last. The- Inspector said that if they were pro- perly attended to that they would be better in six weeks. Mr B. Evans asked if the Inspector had seen the siheep since. The Inspector said that he had not. Mr B. Evans said that the she4ep might be free of scab then, and the farm still an infec- ted area. The, Supt. said that- when. a farmer dis- covered sheep scab in his flock,, it was his duty to report it to the nearest constable who would report it to the vet. inspector. Then the. in- spector served this notice. As far as he was concerned then, there was no further duty Clast upon him to visit the farm, until the farmer through the constable made: an appli- cation to have the farm declared to be free from sllieep scab. The Chairman said tha.t if the vet. inspector was very busy, the farmer might be ke'pt waiting twelve months to have his farm; de- clared1 free. Supt. Evans said that in this case: the far- mer had not, applied to have his farm declared free. The Inspector said that if he had an appli- cation to visit a, farm for the purpose of de- claring it free he would call as soon, as he possibly could. The Chairman It would be very hard on the farmer to be kept waiting. Sunt- TSVa-ns: J IJle" etr known a case MKe that. 1 have known them to ask the vet. to coma- to docilare, tfem free, and whew tilie vet. goes there, he finds sheep afflicted wiith sc/ab. The defendant said iluat he had citipped the. nfieep and left tlhem in the yard that morning as he was cralted away to Gkmorgaiiishire. He told the servant boy to be sure to send them back to the, field where they were before. It was the fault of the servant entirely who had Wot done -? i duty. The affected1 sheep had I

CATCHING THE MILK TRAIN. I David Dicks, Cefngornodd. Llaingadock was charged with furious diriving. P.S. Roblin At 4.30 p.m. on the iMi March, I saw thp defendant diiving a liocrse and trap in Church street, Llangadt ick, at a very fasti trotting pace. He was going. towards the railway station. There is a. sharp turn- ing where. I saw him driving. I heVT up my hland and' Shouted to him to stop. He went 40 yards before he could brinig his horse to a stanfd'stiil. Had there been any feeble per- sons or children or vehicles coming from the opposite direction, it would have been im- possible, for tihem to get out of. the way. On account of the sharp turning in the road, the defendant could not see but a short distance in front of him. Defendant said that he had pulled up in 10 yards. P.S. Roblin, said that lie had walked the distance afterwards, and he had found it was 40 yards at least. Defendant asked if it was not by Thomas Rees, tihe Welcome's he pulled up. P.S. Rees: No; it was by th £ Golideni Lioiti Inn. I was by the Welcome. Defenldaait: If I was to go at the fastest trot, I could not go a mile in less than five or six minutes. The Clerk Do you wish to give evidence on oath P Defendant: No I am quiitie satisfied. P.S. Roblin in answer to the Bench said that the defendant was driving a milk cart. The Chairman: Perhaps he was late for his train. Defendant said tihat tihe train was coming in as he arrived. Supt. Evans said that Complaints had been macFe of these peopile, driving too fast to meet trains. Mr B. Eva.ns asked if there was any notice at that corner to drive slowly. P.S. Rol.bin said tlhalt, there was not. Mr B. Evanis said that there ought to N. Suppose ther-el was a, motor oar coming the other way? He thoUlghit there ought to be a notice there, to drive slowly. It would serve a good purpose. The Chairman said that the Bench con- sidered that the defendant was very careless. It was no excuse for him that he was late for tihe train. He ought to make it his business to be in time so as not. to be a, danger to other people. The Hull penalty was t5, but the Bone-ill. would deal with him leniently, and fine him os and costs.

ALCOHOL AND EPILEPSY. John Hughes, Peimyboaift, Llangadock, a youngster, was charged with being drunk on the highway. P.C. Roblin said At 10.10 p.m. on the. 26th March, I found the' defendant drunk lying near the corner of Mr Walter Lewis's shop at Lliangiadeek. He picked up defendant who fell down again. Mr Walter Lewis them took him towards home. The uliea-k said that this wais the third appearance of defendant within three, months. The Chairman I hope you feel ashamed of yourself, a, young fellow like you coming here three times witlhin. the twelve month. You ought to be perfectly ashamed of yourself. I wiisih to goodness we' couild send you down to prison for tJhrele months. After consultation with the other m. gis- trates, the Chairman said that the def ena,.iait would be fined zCl and costs. If he came t'here again, he wouM be placed on the black list. Supt. Evans said that, he bad received a, letter from the defendant's employer stating that he would pay the fine. The Chairman asked defendant- what was his age. Defeindaint said that he was 22 years of age. P.S. Roblin said that the defendant's mother ived, at Carregsawdde. He got fits very badi. The Chairman said that the defendant ought to be more careful on that account.

A DISTURBANCE AT LLANGADOCK. Daniel Davies, Backway, Llangadock, s chairg-ed with being drunk and disorderly. P.C. D. J. Davies, said that at, 10.20 p.m. on the 23rd March, he, saw tihe defendant drunk and creating a disturbance by quarrell- ing with his son and his wife. When witness smoke to him thp> deife.Tiidiaint toihl him to fifO r <=J to the devil, that he was. not. drunk. Supt. Evans said that there was a. previous conviction against the defendant- on the 17th March, 1898. As there was a previous con- -N vsetion, the diefemdiaivt llliUbt be nllicdl at least one-fourth the fuliF penalty. The Chairman: That, is surely within tiho province of the Bench. Supt. Evans said tfhat it was for the first occasion, but this was not the first occasion. The Olierk said that excepting the convi- tion were legally proved, the penalty might be reduced. Supt. Evans said that he called on the I Clerk to produce the register. The Clerk said that be had not the register for 1898 with him. He could not- bring down all the booki-, for former years with him. The Chairman said that ho would run the risk of reducing the penalty. The defendant would be fined 5s and costs.

NOT PROPERLY FENCED. John Davies, of Pantygwin' farm, L]lm.- ddeusamt was charged with keeping sheep afflicted with scab in a field- not properly fenced. P.C. D. J. Davies said At 2 p.m. on the 11th of last month, I saw about 100 sheep in a field forming part, of Pantygw in farm, Llan- dldeusanit. Some of t,hm appeared to be affected with scab. The fields were adjoining a highway. In the hedge abutting the high- way, I saw several gaps, and marks of sheep having been passing to and fro. Thetfe was an opening atbo-ut eight feet wide at the pine- end of the dwellioug house, leading from the highway to the field. There was no-tibing to prevent his sheep straying on to a field belong ing to Blaencrynfe farm; there wqs a number of sheep in that field. I called1 at Pantygwin farm and saw the servant girl. I subsie- quetvtly saw the defendatnt on the 15th; I told: him I had visited his farm on the 11th, and had seen several gaps in the hedge and drew his attetnttion to the opening near the house. He said "Yes; I must admit that the luedges are rather bad; but as for the openr- in_ o near the house, my landlord is supposed to build a, wall theire. My servant giil told me you were, here; the wholei of the slieeip belong to me. I have not bought or sold any sinice the inspector was hiete." Defendant qa-idi that the sheep which were afflicted with sow-b were in a secure, place. Mr Ernest Jenikina pwovoa vLsiting this .jiLace aind fiding scab ,on the sheep. He did not, isolaite a. field; he isolated the whole farm. Tine shoop were all together when he saw them The Bonidii fined' the, defemidiant £1 and costs Rachel Evans, of Tiirclyn, LLanddeusant, was charged wiltili a similar offence. P.C. D. J. Davies said that- at 3.40 p.m. on the 16th March, he saw about. 50 sheep in a field bellonging to Tircilyin farm, Llanddeusanit. A parish road leads tigrough the farm yard, abutting the fields wihich tihe sheep were in. The gates of the fields were open, and the hedges in bad condition. They appeared as if no effort had! been made to isalla.tei -them tliie railing which separated the farm yard and one of the fields was ail in pieces; there was rnotlhing to prevent the sheep straying m, the highway. The parish road connects with a road leading from Tatearn to Myddfai. I caJlled defendants E^tention. to the condition of the hedges. She said, "I cannot, help it; the sheep must. have their run." I asked her if there were, any stray sheep amongst her own; she replied "I dioin't know, there might be. I have had a paper from the vet., but I thia-ve, not read it." Tine day I served the sum- mons the gates were open., and tihe hedges as bad as the day I was theire before. Mr Ernest. Jerkins said that he visited the farm on the 16th February, aind found eight sheep affected with SiCah. The farm was sitil4 an inifecited area. Defendainit was fined JE1 and costs.

ALLEGED ATTEMPT AT BRIBERY. Morgan Rees, Penir'hiw-issa, Llanddeusant was similarly charged. P.C. D. J. Davies proved the case. The defendant informed tbie policemn-iit that he was under a disadvantage became a h-ighway went through his land. He said that he had had a paper from the vet., but no fa:rmer could keep his slliieep, as t'hat paper said. Supt. Evans said that tihe, majority of the farmers were carrying out the order very welll. It was ontly witlh a- few tihait the police had any difficulty. The Chairman asked if scab was increasing or decreasing. Supt. Evans said that it was decreasing now, as it always did at this season of the ye air. They had some farmers who were doing their best, ana others we/re lukewarm they did not oa re whether they carried out tiwi order or not. He woulld ask the Bench to take serious notice of this case. Defendant had! attempted to bribe him and to bribe the police. Defendant had brougiht- flirticles to his hoive and he (the Supt.) had had to send him out. The defendant was fined tl and costs.

I -x FENC ED CHAFFCUTTEH. Morgan and John/ Davies, Gwidre. Llianddeu- sant v,-a, charged with allowing a dhaffcutteir to be worked without having it properly pro- tected. P.C. D. J. Da ■vies said At 4.15 p.m on the 16th inst., I slaw a chaff cutting machine at Gwidre farm. A niaiii named Vaughain em- ployed by the defendants was feeding it at the mouth. There was a horse-gear fixed outside to which it, was attached by means of an iron spindle, and drawn by one horse. I saw the defendant, John Da vies, and a.sk2d him why lie allowed his chaff cutter to be worked uncovered. He said -The carpenter has been here mea,suring for one; but I do not knew when we'll get it. I saw the car- penter, and found that what defendant said was true. Defendant said that he had been using hay, and it had run short, and he had to get other fodder for the cattle and had therefore had to employ the ohaffcutter. Supt. Evans said that he had no doubt that what the defendant- had said in this case was true. He had no wish to press the charge unduly, but whsm the Act came out posters were extensively circulated in, all the districts of the county cailling attention, to its provi- sions. The law on the subject had been pretty well brought to the notice of the farmers. The Chairman said that the Bench would take a lenient view of the case, and defeJnckmts would be fined Is each atnd costs..

CHARGE WITHDRAWN. i-e charge of failing to notify sheep scab against Morgan Griffiths, a farmer at Gwynfe, was withdrawn. Supt. Evans said that it had been, satisfac- torily proved taat the defendant had sent a, letter notifying the existence of sheep scab, and the letter had been mislaid.

ILLEGAL REMOVAL OF SHEEP. Wm. Daivies, Ashfielld1, Llangadwrn, was charged with illegally removing sheep from his farm.—Mr Mervyn Peel retired from the Bench during tihe hearing of this case. Defendant) siaiid that, the sheep ran across the road to Mr Peel's plantation. P.C. D. J. Davies said that the defendant had received notice from the vet. inspector to remove the sheep from Ashfield to Llwyn- blodwen farm. Supt. Evans said tihat wiien a farmer found tlftt the field to which the sheep were confined under an isolation order. were mot sufficient, or if he thought he ought to dliange tihem, he couild go to an; Inspector and apply to him for an order to place them im another field. In this case, the siheep were supposed to remain where they were, until a, fresh order was served. The Clerk The, sheep removed themselves. The Chairman said that in view of the mitigating ciirpumistainces, the defendant would be ordered only to pay the costs.

FAILURE TO NOTIFY. Thomtas Thomas, Cilgerddan, Llanddeusant was dhairged with failiiing to notify slwops-cob to the poliice. Defendiant: In my judgment there was no scab in the sheep. I am used to take* p¡3Ir- ticular care of the sheep. I spend a good deal of money every year on them. The Clerk: He hands me a. certificate from the chemist that he had been a, purchaser of sheep dip for years. IL P.S. Roblin said At 2.15 p.m. on the 9th March last, I visited Gilgerddian, and another farm at Ll'and'deiusaint kept by the diefetndant. I there found about 200 sheep; several of them appeared to be affected with scab. I saw the defendant, and told him that I had been through his flock of sheep, and believed; that some of tlhem were affected with scab. I asked him to gaither them together for me to examine them. He said "Ho, ho, I am wiØlil prepared to meet you to-day I am not afraid of you to-day or this year either. I am not going to gather them. for you. If you Wialnt to see, them go and gaitfer ttueim for yourself." I pointed, out to him: the sheep that. I had been inspecting, a-d asked him if they were his property. He said "Yes, they all belong to me." On the 10th March., about. 3 p.m., I met Mr E. P. Jenkinis, the, vet. inspector. I accompanied the vet. and Morgan Thomas to the farm. Defendant said that 'his sheep were not affected with scab. They bad lost their wool in the wood. P.S. Roblin I did -not say they were affec- ted. I said I suspected them to be, affected. Defendant: I am used to dip them threes times: a year. Mr E. Jenkins, vet. inspector.said that he visited Cilgerdldaini farm on the 10th March. He saw about 200 sheep. He found seven. sheep affected with scab, and several others recovering from it. He had notice served om the defendant. He read the notice to Sergt. Robliin, and told him to explain it to defem- damt. The Olerk: You did not teld anybody at the farm. Witness I did not. see the necessity for doing so. Defendant was sworn, and gave liis evidence a-s follows: There was no scab amongst my flock. Mr Deans, who wias the sergeant before Mr Roblin, looked, over five bundled sheep of mine, and did not find one affectied with scab. The Clerk How long ago was, that? Defendant: Two years ago. I am used to dip them twice or thrice a year, and to spend 30s on dip. The Cnerk That is not the point. Can you swear that there was no scab on your sheep on the 10th March. Defeaid'anit; I did not understand that it was om one of them. They might have lost the wool without any sort of scab. This sort of weather has made tfhe sheep lose, more wool tha-n in any other year before. The Clerk: You have heard the inspector swear there was scab. Defenldlant: There is a lot of difference between loss of wool and being infected with scab. The Chairman You know the difference. Defendant: Yes I am used: to dip this flock of sheep for forty years. The Clerk: You have heard the! vet. sur- geon s-ii-ea.r they were afflicted witlli scab. Defendant: Yes; I camnot help that. Supt. Evans said that there: were seven sheep suffering from scab and1 thirt-een re- covering. Tlhe Clerk said that the defendlanit might be fined £1 for each steep. The Chairman said that there, was a, duty cast upon the farmers by law. All cases of sheep scab must he reported; otherwise it would be impossible to stamp out the disease1. The defendant might be fined zC20 for four sheep or more, and C5 for each sheep besides. He would be fined zEl and costs. f

HOUSE-BREAKLNG. The Grand Jury returned a true bill, against John Lewis (20), who was charged with breaking into a house at Abernfiint-tinc, on tlie Bromwydd road. in the parish of St. Peters, and stealing a suit of clothes belong- ing to James Thomas, on the 12th March. Mr H. B. White prosecuted. Defendant was alternatively charged with receiving the goodis knowing them to be stolen. Defendant pleadeu 'guilty."—P.S. Davies said thajt there was nothing known of the defendant.— The Recorder asked if the defendant was an industrial school boy .-P .S. Davies said that xu r, llot k»«w, but he strongly susoected that he was.—The defendant said thalb ha took the clothes because he was out of work. Ihe Recorder passed sentence of throe months imiprisoniaenit.

been in a field apart from the others until that day. Mr C. P. Lewis: You are liable for the action of your servant. Defendant said tha,t he ha,d attended care- fully to these tsJheep. They ware thorouglyty disli infected. If I had only used poisonous, instead of non-poisonous dips I would have been cleared long ago. The Chairman said that they must do their best to stamp this disease out of the county. Mr B. Evans: The disease' is very preva- lent in this district. Suipt. Evans asked that the vet. inspector be allowed his expenses' for attending at the court that day. He was allowed: 10s 6d in Mandiilo. He was a, professional man; it meant the loss of a day to attend the oouirt. The Clerk: He is paid by the •ounty. Supt. Evans? He is only paid a retaining fee. He is not, allowed expenses for attend1- ing the court. It was decided to apportion the expenses of the vet. inspector amongst the seven oases in wlliich he was a, witness. The chairman said tityait the offence with wihich the defendant was charged was a very serious one. He might be fined JE20. He must be more careful anid1 not entrust tiliese things to his servant. He would be fined £ 1 and costs. Charles Thomas,, W-eirowgan, Gwynfe, was charged with failing to rep-ort, sheep scab to the police. Supt. Evans said that the defendant was supposed to report the existence of sheep scab to the locali constable. In this case the con- stable had gome into t4ici ruoighbourhood and discovered it. As their wtorsihips were weill awrure, sheep scab was -very- rife in Gwynfe and Llianddeusant, and if tihe farmers were, neglectful, it would oertainlly spread. P.C. D. J. Davies saild: At 3.30 p.m. on the 19th February, I examined 66 sheep on Woimoiga n farm, Lla ngjadock. I suspec.ted one ram and one ewe to be. adfected with scab. I told the defeiiidtamt so, antd he said "I thought the ram was slightly affected." T'liiey have newly come down fi-cmm the mountain. Mr E. Jerabins, vet- insjuector sa,id that lie examinled the sheep on the 23rd February, He found scab to exist andt served notice.. There were three sheep affected. The Chainutaii askc.,d if it were possible for a farmer not tct knmv that his slieep were afflicted with scab. Thte Inspector said that it was possible if he had never seen the disease before that he would not viecognise it. Mr B., Evans: In youir opinon, is it due to cai,e"sue;p,s on the part of farmers that it has not bpjen, sbarap-ed, out. The- Inspector said, that that was his opinion The disease was rife in. Grwynfe and Llanddeu- sant. The sheep affecttid ought. to be isolated and properly attended to. The Ohairmain Isi jit a, pairaisito- The Inspector: Yes; it is a parasite.
