MISS JENNER AND THE PUBLICAN. COMPLAINT AGAINST A NEIGHBOUR. MONEY ON A WHITE PLATE. Miaa Gertrude Jenner, of Typica, Wenvoe, attired in holiday costume, occupied her accus- tomed seat at the solicitors' table at Barry Police-court on Monday. There was only one magistrate in attendance, viz., Mr David Davids, and the latter announced that the cases requiring two magistrates would have to be adjourned until the court would resume its sitting just before two o'clock. Miss Jenner remarked upon the serious in- convenience thus caused. Mr David Davies Suppose you state what you have to say before me now. It will be just the same as if there were two justices here. Miss Jenner: Quite as well, especially with such an experienced magistrate as yourself on the bench. Proceeding, Miss Jenner said she did riot, like these ex parte applications as a rule, but she was, she declared, bound to do it. It was against Thomas Graham, of the Wenvoe Arms, Wt nvoe, but she was not going to name the whole of the particulars. This man had refused her on special dates sixpenny worth of brpjid and cheese, and a pennyworth of Huntley and Palmer's biscuits. The gentleman whose name appeared at the bead of the list of local magistrates visited Wenvoe annually and called upon h^r Mr David Davies Excuse me, but place your appl icatioa as shortly as you can. Miss Jenner said she could not find any pre- cedent f 1 such a thing, and proceeded to refer to the proceedings of the last licensing day, a local bank ruptcy case, and thp fact that a beer store h;i been abided to the Wenvoe Arms, and expressed regret at the illness of Mr J. W. Morris, the magistrates' clertt. Mr David Ditvies How far does the opening of that stores affect this court ? Miss Jenn-r Another reason is that I am very much averse to living by a man who tells nte that be is going to annoy me as much as he can, aud he has opened this new stores. Mr David Davies What do you want us to do? Miss Jenner I want to know is there any connection between the licensed house and the new stores. I want to know whether the magistrates are to be governed by Mr Morris, who tells me that they have nothing to do with the new stores. These stores were never built until five or six months ago. Is there no pre- eedlut-if I may ask the question-where a person tenders money for food in a house of refreshment and is refused ? Mr D. Davies Money was tendered ? Miss Jenner Yes, on a white plate. Mr D. D ivies: Do you actually state that the man refused to supply you when you tendered the money ? Miss Jeriuar Yes and what is more, I am sorry for the wife, but I must explain the cir- cumstances. I said, I shall be glad of three- pennyworth of bread and cheche." 8he took the piate and 6d, and after returning said, Miss Jenner, I'm sorry I can't give it you." Mr D. Davies You had better not refer to the wife, perhaps. But having heard what you have said, I urn advised that we cannot inter- fere. Wf have no power to do anything. Miss Jenner said that was a point of law, and taking up Stone's Justices' Manual," declared that inert' was a case in 1878. "It just comes to this," she concluded, "that there is no pre- ceden' and I now can go up to London and tell them that I have made an ex parte applica- tion to your Worship." Mr D. Davies As for the point of law you had bcttei go to higher authorities. ML-s Jenner said there was another point. She bud beni disturbed by a gang of roughs after 8 and 9 o'clock at night. bp, was quite satisfied with the source of it. Mr David David thereupon said he bad heard all, and Miss Jenner with a polite bow.left the court, thanking the. sitting mogistrate. as she did so.
