BRKAKINO 15TO A BRF.WERy.-George Hockaday, William Roberts, and David Davies were charged with breaking into the Pentre Brewery and stealing money.—John Williams, cellarman at the brewery, said that on the 10th of August he left the brewery at half-past six and locked it up. He left money in the brewery which he had received for barm. It was in a box in the cellar, between 88 and 9s. On going to the brewery at half-past six on the following morning he found the bars bad been burst open and all the money taken. He and the brewer examined the premises and found that the shatter of a hole, through which the coal was thrown, bad been opened. Boys could go in and out through the opening. The shutter was closed the night before.—P.C. Reeves said that on the 20th August he found Hockaday in the brewery. He took him to the police station and from what prisoner said he fetched the other two. When they were together he charged them. Hocka- day said Yes, we did go there; we went down the road. William Roberts and I were down the road when we met David Davies and we all went to the back of the brewery. I went in by where they put the small coal in, by the little shutter. Roberts came after me and Davies followed. I took the money out of the box and shared it with the rest.—The Bench ordered each of the defendants to reeeive six strokes with the birch rod. STBALING WATCHES.—Geo. Hockaday was charged with stealing two watches.—Charles Ford said he lived at 137, Tstrad-road, Heolfach, and repaired clocks. That watch (produced) was on a table in his shop. He put it there on the 16th inst. The second watch was in his shop on Monday last. Missed both watches last Friday. One watch was worth X4 and the other £1 7s. 6d.—Mary Hockaday, mother of the defendant, said that he was nine years of age last Jane. On Wednesday last her daughter Caroline told her she heard money rattling in his pocket. She examined his pockets and found three watches. On asking him about them he told her a boy named Jeffreys gave him two of the watches in Trealaw, and another boy gave him the other, but yesterday he said he took them from a shop in Heolfach.-His Worship said the father must be bound over in JE5 to bring the boy op if required. If he behaved well he would hear nothing more about this case, but if he did not behave well he would be brought ap again and then he would receive six strokes with a birch rod.

WAGES DISPUTE AT MARDY COLLIERY. PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES. A TEST CASE. At the Yatrad polioe-court on Monday.—before Mr Ignatius Williams, stipendiary magistrate, and Dr. Morgan -Locket L'ii Merthyr Steam Colliery Company were summoned for wages. Mr Morgan appeared for the complainant and Mr Jamee, jan., Merthyr, appeared for the manager.—Mr Morgan Sdid that this was a case of some importance to cut iera and colliery owners. They had brought one case to have a judi .ia! decision. In the Mardy Colliery there was a eeam of coal called 2ft. 9in. That seam was not so good in that colliery as in others. The soil was stiff; there was brass; a clod of about 6 in. and then a vein of c!ean coal. When tfcia was begun, two years ago, it was found that la. 8id- per ton paid for this seam in other collieiies would not he a fair rate of wage, so that it was recognised from the outset that more must be paid. It was agreed to add 8d per ton. The men found thoy could not work it for that, henoeit was increased to iOd. Further complaint was made and a penny more was added. This was allowed to everybody working in the vein. In occasional cases a further sum was given. If a man drove a beading which had special difficulties 4d extra was paid. The management marked lid ou the ticket as allowance," and they claimed they could take it off when they liked. But allow- ance did not mean gratuity. There was also an allowance on all the payments of 7t per cent. It had been more but that was the amount now. Howell Powell had never bad any reduction, but in June a penny was taken off. This amounted in the month to 3s. The next month the reduction amounted almost to a third of the wages, as they took off their 7d per ton The pay for July was made on the 24th July. There was then a week in band. The question to be tried was whether the management could reduce the ild or whether that was not the wages agreed upon.—Howell Powell said he had been working in Mardy Colliery. He began there in 1884 in the 2ft. 9in. seam. It had a tendency to catch at the bottom. He was obliged to break the stones from the coal. There was brass in the lower coal which had to be separated from the coal. There was then about six inches of clod, and about 18 inches of clean coal. It was very difficult Do work. Some parts such as headings weie more difficult than in the stalls. He began to work in January, 1884. Before commencing co work he had a conversation with the manager. The manager said the standard price was Is. 8 £ d., and lid. a ton addition. He told him to woik a heading, for which he received 4d. more. When the heading was finished the 4d. extra ceased. He had worked generally in the seam, and:until June last had always received the lid. allowance. He had never received less till then. The ticket produced was his pay ticket fer June. That bad only IOd. on it. The Id. thrown off came for that month to 3s. There was an advance.of 71d. per cent. on that. When first he entered the works the percentage was n. per cent. That bad been reduced from time to time. He complained about the 3e. to Mr Miles the under-manager. He said he would see about it the next month. He worked in the month ending July 17th. On that ticket only 4d. was allowed instead of lid. The amount was 21 13s. IOd. In that month be turned a stall for St. 6d. That made £117B.4c:L The pay day was on the 24th July. There was the= a week in hand. During that week he cut 28 tons, which at lid. would come to jei 5s. 8d. Then the advance of 71 per cent. on a that. Total claim, J66 la. 8d: There was a rule for a month's notice to terminate a contract on eitfher side. They all went to the trader-manager to complain. He said he bad nothing to- do with it.—Crcp8-eiijnhied.x$e jraa working in the new workings In June. Tn& top was very nearly as bad. He had worked in other collieries, bat never under allowanoe before. Last Sinday week lie. Mr Thomas, the manager, whether he ongbt net t. have more for working in the new working*. Mt Thomas said Toa ought to have more."—William Thomaa had been working in the Mardy since 1883. He had a oonrersation with the manager ahoat working the 2ft. 9ia. eeam. He Mid he paid 2e. 7d per ton for that team. He was always paid at that rate till Jnne of thie year. The vein was a difficult one.-eamuel Lewis spoke to a similar conversation as to 2a. 7d. a ton he had with the manager before entering upon work. The rein was as diffiealt to work new as when he began.—Mr Jamee, for the defenoe, said these men were employed in the 2ft. Vin. seam, and at that time an allowance ef lid. was made. The allowance was not a fixed bat a changeable quantity, according to the quality of the work.—Mr Griffith Thomas, manager, said the allowance was a variable sum which went np and down.—The Benoh: But who deoidee ?— Witness: The men and I agree together. He had never known a custom of giving a month's notice en ohange of allowanoe.-Hi., Worship Mid the manager promised the lid. allowance. For two yeatt they received it, and then it was taken off in part without notioe. That seemed to him an nnjust thing towards the workmen. The men had a right to expect the same pay unless notice of an intended reduction was made to them. He con. sidered. the olaim made oat and must be paid.- This deoiaion affects about 50 oases, involving the amount of £150.

Burglary at PenrWwceiber Schools. TWO YOUTHS IN CUSTODY. Sevfral articles having recently been missed from these schools, information was given to the police* joostable stationed at Penrhiwceiber, who on Friday night watched the premises. Early on Saturday morning two youths from the place entered the building by means of a window, and were in the act of removing some more articles when they were apprehended, and taken to Mountain Ash Police-station. After they Bad been apprehended they admitted having entered the school a fortnight ago, and stolen therefrom a little engine, railway, and other articles, and divulged to the constable the spot where they had bidden them. The engine and railway werf used by the teachers as illustrations.

Disappointed Excursionists in the Rhondda. Considerable amusement was occasioned in the neighbourhood of Treorky, on Thursday night, through a number of individuals who bad in- tended to visit London by a cheap excursion which was to leave Cardiff at l2 o'clock, having been laft behind. The disappointed party, it appears, had, in company with numerous others, arrived at the railway station about balf.an-bour previous to the time the train was due. Immed- iatily on its arrival the passengers rushed in, and when it was thought all had seated (themselves, several stepped out in order to look for sctts with cushions. Whilst they were searching for this accommodation, the engioe whistled and steamed away. Subsequently it transpired that one of those who had "lost the train" had her husband's ticket and money, which ma.de it rather awk ward for the poor fellow who was on route for London.)

CONSECRATION OF ST. ANN'S CHURCH, YNYSHIR. The Lord Bisbop of Llandaff .on Thursday con- secrated the new Church of St. Ann, at Ynyshir, in the Rbondda. Fach Valley. The usual cere- mony took place, and the service which followed was attended by a large congregation. The preacher in the morning was the Rev J. R. Phillips, Pontnewydd, and in the evening the Rev. Canon Evans. The clergy present included the Rev. W. Lewis, rural dean and vicar of Ystradyfodwg; the Rev. J. P. Hughes, vicar of Llautrisaut; the Rev. M Lewis, vicar of Llan- wonno; the Rev. T. Rogers, vicar of Llwynpia; the Rev. E. Jenkins, vicar of Llantwit Vardre, all the curates of Ystradyfodwg; and several of the curates of Llanti isant who were in sur- plices, while there were many other clergymen in the body of the church. The singing, under the leadership of the Rev. D. Francis, the curate in charge, was very good. The organist was Mr Limerick. The church is a remarkably hand. some building, designed by Mr E. M. Bruce Vaughan, A.R.I.B.A., of Cardiff, and is arranged to accommodate 500 people, at a cost of j62 500 The site is given byMr C. Whitting, of Glandore, Weston-super-Mare, and among thobe who contri- buted handsomely to the cost of erection may be mentioned Mrs. Whitting, Mrs. Williams (Fair- field), Mrs Vaudrey, Mrs. Stahl, and last, but certainly not least, the Maindy family, who gave a very beautiful east window for the church) to the glory of God and in memory ef their daughter. Mr T. Jones, by his indefatigable service, was mainly instrumental in biinging about the erec- tion of a. church at Ynyshir. L'he church is in the parish of Llwynpia, and upon the vicar (the Rev. T. Rogers) has fallen the principal burden of collecting the money. In the afternoou a capital luncheon was pro. vided at the Board Schoolroom, the catering be. ing entrusted to Mr J. Davies, Porth Hotel. A large company sat at the tables. The chair was occupied by Mr.C. Whitting, who was supported by the bishop and several of the clergy and lead- ing inhabitants of the district.—The loyal toasts having been given from the chair, Mr Ignatius Williams, the Pontypridd stipendiary magistrate, proposed "The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese," and dwelt upon the work done in that populous district.-The Bishop, in returning thanks, said he was up there nearly every month now, and he hoped to be there again soon to conseinte the church at Porth. He rembembered that, soon after he came to the diocese, the South Wales Daily News stated that it had heard that the new bishop was going to build Low churches in the Rbondda. Valley, and described it as ouilding castles in the air and an unrealised dream. But be did not think they were castles in the air. They were substantial structures, and they would not only build, but fill then. (Ap. plause.)—The Rev. Cauon Evans also respond- ed. The other toasts had to be dispensed with, as the train w* £ .4ue, And votes of tnatiks were ac- eorded to the'architect, the bunder, the ^adies, the committee, and others who had rehderecl ser- vice. vice. The collection on Thursday morning amounted te over 230; The Rev. W. Lewis, rural dean, preached on Sunday, morning and evening.

m TRMmm: MCMM' DISPUTE. MASS MEETING AT TTHBWTDD CROSSING. TIIB POSITION EXPLAINED BY MB. W. ABRAHAM* M.P. On Monday evening a largely attended mats meeting of the workmen of North Dnnraven tad Fernhill Collieriee was held at Blaenewm Crossing to hear an address from Mr W. Abraham, M P., j upon the position of affairs in eonneetien with the doctors' dispute ia these two oollieries. Mr W. Williams, oheckweigher, was voted to the chair. Mr Abraham said the object of the meeting was to give him an opportunity of explaining the action he had taken in the matter of the dispate. He had ao desire to blame anybody or say anything an. pleasant. He had simply come at the wish of some of the friends to explain the position of affairs. It was on the 19th of July that he came to the neigh- bourhood first, and they placed in his hands the matter in dispute. The object it was sought to attain was to obtain possession of the money kept back in the offioe, and also to obtain permission to have the money retained for the dooters chosen by the workmen. On the following day he wrote to the managers of the two collieries, Mr Gibbon and Mr Roaser, to say that the matter had been placed in his hands, and especially the first, that of obtain- ing for the men the money kept back in the offioe, and in his letters he explained that he as usual offered the first chance of settling the matter be- tween them and that with that object in view he would meet them some night that weeb, either he meeting them, or they coming to see him. He had replies from the two. The two ehose to osns down to his honse on the Saturday night of tfcat week. One came- at about six o'clock, and the other about half-past seven. The two were theie separately. He then enderstood that the two cases were quite on a separate basis—that the one oolliery was fighting on sounder grounds than the other. He had understood that also from the first letter he had from Mr John Rosser, which was as follows "Fernhill Collieries, Treherbert, July 21st, 1886.— William Abraham, Esq., M.P., Pentre, Pontypridd. Dear Sir—Doctors' Dispute.—I am in receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, and from the tenor of your remarks I infer that you have not been made acquainted with the whole of the facts connected with the cape. I, therefore, have pleasure in giving you the following information relating to the matter, as far as regards ourselves and the workmen. I received on the 1st day of June ultimo a communication, of which the following is a copy'To the manager of Fernhill Colliery. At a general meeting of the work- men of Fornhill, Blaenrhondda, &nd Ounrayen Col- lieries, held at the Tynewydd Hotel, May 31st, 1884, the following resolution was unanimously pasaed '— That we give notice that the poundage kept in the offioe towards the doctor be not paid to Messrs War- burton after the 30th of June next. Signed on behalf the above meeting, Thomas Francis, William Gwilym, Rees Evans, Jesse Carpenter." Mabon here remarked that they would see that no notice had been given, but that those workmen sent to the manager to say wh.lt t.h < resolution was which had beea pased. Well, when he saw that he saw that it was a step in vain. The Blaenrhondda people had given notice, but those fiiends, instead of doing that—he did not wish to condemn them, he simply stated what had been dune—had simply sent as he bad said to say what the resolution was that bad been oome to. Mr Abraham continued Mr Rosser's letter as follows:— "To whioh I replied as follows:—[Copy]—Fernhill Colliery, 1st June, 1886. To Messrs T. Francis, Wm. Gwilym, Rees Evans, Jesae Carpenter. Yours of the 31st May was handed to me this morning. I have to inform that I do not recognise your right to give any notice on behalf of the other workmen employed at this colliery, and under these circumstances I must decline to accept the notice referred to." On Monday afternoon, July 5th, the following parties (workmen employed here) called at the office to ask if we would stop the poundage for Mr Jones (a late unqualified assist mt ef Dr Warburton), when they were informed that under no circumstances could their request be complied with. (The parties were George Edwards, David Morgan, Daniel James, Rees Davies, Thomas Jones, and William Jenkins.) I pointed out to them —1st—The obligation I considered they were under to give a personal notice if they were desirous of making any change in the arrangement in force for collecting the doctor's money. 2nd-That we had no desire to influence them in the choice of a doctor, and that if they were dissatisfied with Dr Warburton we would cease deducting the poundage at the expiration of such notice. They then asked me when would I take their notice, to which I replied Say time, but if it would make no difference to them, and with a view of simplifying matters for the clerks in making up pay accounts, I should prefer their handing in their notices on the following Monday (12th Julv)twhich would be the 1st day of onr month. They then left with the understanding thatiall who did not wish Dr Warburton to attend them should give in their notice on the 12th Julv, and I was requested by them to inform Dr Warburton of the result of the interview. No notices, however, were received on the 12th July nor subsequently, neither have I received any other kind of communication before your letter arrived this morning. There is one fact bearing on this case which I almost forgot to mention, and that is, when Dr Warburton was appointed medical officer the owners 1101" well as the workmen were parties to the agreement. If you wish it I shall be happy to meet you, say at the Pentre Hotel, at any hour most con- venient to yourself from four up to nine p.m. on Satur- day. Yours truly, JOHN RossEB." Mabon then went on to pqv that a ler,-tl point arose her-, and was U,Ù by Mr Kysser, viz.: that the committee of four had no right to give notice on behalf of the workmen at the colliery. He (Mabon) had been speaking to one lawyer before being there on the Monday, and the opinion of the lawyer was that bd the committee had been em- ployed by the workmen they ought to have the same power to discharge the doctor. But be added \hat he was speaking out of book. Mr MOSSHf.bjtvever, raised the point in bis letter, so he (Mabon) went to their own solioitor, Mr W. H. Morgan, who was of a different opinion. Mr Mol"- gan stated that if everybody were of the same opinion the notice of the committee would do for everybody, but as there was a minority in favour of retaining the old doctor, then, in order to terminate the eontraot, everyone must Riv" notice personally. Well, seeing that the two opinions differed, he (Mubon) thought that bringing the workmen and the company together, and bringing Drs Jones and Warburton together, would be the best way to set. tle tbe-matter. Well, now. Dr Warburton sent to him asking for an interview. He replied that so fur as he knew he had nothing to do between Dr Warburton and the workmen, but what he had to do was between the company and the workmen, but that if the doctor wanted to see him he would, of course, see him. Well the doctor came down late on fcjuurday night. An arrangement had been made that the two managers should come to a meeting of the two collieiies, and that a committee of five or six from each oolliery should meet to discuss the matter with the two managers and himself (Mr Abraham.) He asked Dr Warburton to go to Mr ifm. Williams to get him to arrange a meeting, and it appeared that the doctor went, but Air Williams, for some reason better known to him. self, did not see fit to adopt the suggestion. Messrs William Williams, Riohard Hees, and Enoch Davies came down on Saturday night (three weeks last Saturday night) to ascertain the position of affairs, tnd, as they said to push matters on. The position having been explained, Vir Williams said at onoe that the two oases were entirely different, and that they wanted to push on their case whatever became of the other. Wellj everyone who had heard Mr Rosser's letter would understand that the two oasos,were entirely different. Then he told them about, tnediftetence of opinion between the two lawyers, and advised a settlement aa previously suggested. There was another lawyer in the neigh- bourhood at bhe Umie/yiz.: Mr Raodell, Elatielly, and- it wae <Mggee<M that the ti)Me. gentlemen should oome down on Monday ta piaioe the cam V' t before Mr Bandell, so as to get his opinion in addi- tion to the others. They separated on that uader- standing, bnt It appeared when the friends oame beok to Blaenewm they. were told that that weuld not do, and they oame down on the Monday morn- ing to say go, explaining that they must have one of two things, either go on with the law or have an interview with the managing directors, Mr Watts and Mr WatldnMn. It WM arranged that he should write to those gentlemen at onee, but; N. the addresses of the managing direotorp were not known he remarked that it would panse a low of time. However, on Wednesday, he wrote to the two oompanies, and also to the two managtxs on the came day, down in those letters three pointtt—ltt—Atking fer the money that had been kept back; 2nd--Asking them eo keep back money for the doctors obosen instead of the eld ones; and 3rd—That they grant a personal interview, so as to try to settle the matter amicably; and that, if nei- ther of these three things were aooepted, they would be obliged to have recenrae to law. Mr Gibbon's reply was in the possession of Mr William Williams. It was that he would not do anything without a personal netiee from every one. Then he (Mabon) took a further step. He gave notice to Mr John Bosser, Fernhill, not to keep any more money, beeause he bad understood that the first notice was void. His notice was given as agent on behalf of the workmen. This was Mr Rosser's reply :— "9th August, 1886. To W. Abraham, Esq., M.P., Pentre, Shondda. Dear Sir—Doctor's Dispute.— Your letter on the 6tb August duly arrived. I did not reply on Saturday, as I had some business down the Valley, and I thought I would call end see you on my way home. Unfortunately, there was no one in, and one oi your neighbours afterwards informed me that you had left with your family for the seaside. In my letter to you of the 21st July I endeavoured to explain how matters stood between us and the men, and to prevent misunderstanding will again sum up our position in regard to this matter as briefly as possible, which is all follows:—1st—When Dr Warburton was appointed medical officer to these works, the owners and workmen were parties to the arrangement; 2nd—The owners were then duly autho- rised by the workmen to deduct a poundagefrom their earnings, and pay tbe same over to Dr Warburton; trd—This arrangement has been in force for abont 10 years, and before it can be cancelled we request a personal notice in writing from any who may be dis- satisfied therewith. This course has been maintained by us from the commencement of the dispute, and ample opportunities have been afforded to the men for carrying it out. Subsequent events have only tended to strengthen us in the opinipn that it is both equitable and impartial, and such being the case we cannot deviate therefrom. With regard to your request to have an interview with Mr Watkin- son. He has already intimated his willingness to see the men upon the subject in response to a letter addressed to him by the checkweignman. I may here say that he is fully aware of the natnre and progress of the dispute, the whole of the correspondence, <fco., relating to it having been regularly laid before him. After the foregoing remarks it is unnecessary for me to add that the notice you sent us is as informal as the one I received on the 1st day of June (a copy of which I supplied you with. I am, dear s<r, yours truly, JOlIN ROSSEB." Mabon went on to say that he waited for some days for a reply from the company, but he had not yet received one. To the statement which he had heard was made by some that he favoured one doctor more than another he could only reply that it was a great folly on their part to think of such a thing. One was nothing more than the other to him. Well, he had received a letter from Dr. Makuna as follows:— "I beg to inform you that a general meeting of the workmen of North DunravenColliery was held yester- day afternoon, when a resolution was unanimously passed authorising me to take what steps I would eonsider advisable to get the doctor's deductions from the day office at the oolliery. I have this day put myself in communication with the London & South Wales Coal Company, the proprietors of this col- liery, and I am in consultation with my solicitor to act in the matter. As you were deputed to go into the matter previously to me I write to let you know what further steps the workmen have taken. Should you feel inclined to help me in the matter, kindly commu- nicate with me, or, otherwise, please to consider your connection at an end in the matter." -That was the only way in which he had been informed of what was going on. The Chairman, interposing, said they sent a man down to Mabon's house. Mr Abrahim said it would have been very easy to have sent a note. However, he went on to say that he sent to Dr. Makuna to say that he was quite willing for him to have the matter in hand, of getting the money, and sug- gested that it would be to his interest and that of the men ti get the money kept in the offioe, and with that object in view, he should try every amicable means to get the money before going to law. That so far as he remembered was his reply to Dr. Makuna. Having said this he thought he had explained how matters stood, and what he had done, and in conclusion, he oould only say that he blamed no one, that he had nothing to regret, nothing to oonoeal and nothing to withdraw, but he was anxious to meet them and lay the facts before them. In the course of remarks which followed, Mr Richard Rees stated the steps taken by the depu- tation who waited on Mabon," and complained that Mabon was away part of the time, some- times in Cardiganshire, and at other times in Norths Wales or at the seaside, talking ajbj&ut the Irish question. Mabon replied that be could not have fore- seen, tbofle things when making engagements, but be had done all he could to bring aLout an amicable settlement. He agaiq referred ta the infor- mal notice given, and several workmen said all the notices ware the same. Mabon Then so much the worse if they are. A Workman Did you have copies of the notices handed in ? Mr Abraham: No; I have only this letter of Mr dosser's. The Chairman said he could not remember whether ¡ that was the form or not. ao far as Blaenrhondda was concerned the matter was at an end for notices bad been put up stating that no money was to be kept there for any doctor. The meeting was brought to a close with a vote of thanks to the Chairman for his services, pro- posed by Mr Abraham, who said now that they had heard him and the committee they oculd see that he and they agreed in their aooount of what bad taken p:aoe.

The Colliery Dispute at Treherbert. PROBABLE TERMINATION OF THE STRIKE. The strike at Ynysyfeio Colliery, which has existed nearly three months, is now likely to terminate at tue end of this week. On Tuesday evening a meeting of the men was held, and ad. journed till the following day, when the matter was fully re-considered. Although a settlement was not exactly effected, the difference between the masters and the men has been whittled down to a mere fraction of a peany. Another meet- ing will again take place before Saturday, at which it is generally conjectured a permanent reconciliation will be made.
