Muin. A. Buchin ft Oo., Kliymncy. Dear Sirs, I have analysed a sample Gallon of your "ALL BRIGHT ALK" received from you in Screw-Stoppered Flagoni,. and beg to hand you my Report. This is a most inviting looking beverage, being absolutely tree from all traces of turbidity, and, as its name implies, is bright to the last drop. The results of my analysis shew it to be a Light Bitter Beer of the very highest grade of purity, and in my opinion, is the product of Malt and Hops of first-class quality. The amount of Alcohol present renders it strictly a Light Ale, and its aroma and flavour are excellent. The characteristic bitter of the Hops being well in evidence it forms a most agreeable drink. There is not the slightest trace of any objectionable metallic substance present, and I consider it a very High-class Beer la every respect. Being sent out in Screw-Stoppered Flagons its high aeration is preserved to perfection in consequenoe, and there is no chance of its suffering in condition. I consider it a distinct advance in Bottled Beers for Table use, and its high general excellence should command a ready sale. It really is a splendid sample of Bear, and -1 must congratulate you on its production. I am, dear Skik I Tours faithfully, GEORGE R, THOMPSON, Public Aaaalysl. 1 DELICIOUS COFFEE.

I GELL.IGAER URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. Tho ordinary meeting of the members of the Gelligaer Urban Council, was held at the Council. Offices, Hengoed, on Tuesday, when theio were pi es(nt Messrs Edmund J<?r;es, J P., (Chairman) D. Hopkins (Vide Chairman), Ben Hughes, J. Jones (Fochriw), John Edwards, (ius Jones, E. Richards, J. P., Sidney Jones, A. S. Williaras W. A. Mf-r^an, J Jones (Bargoed), S. Carter, H Brown, Jonah Evans J. H. Charles, with Dr. T. E' Rich- ards, M.O., Mr Frank T. James (clerk), Mr C. J. Samuel (accountant), Mr T. R. Gabe (surveyor), Mr 1). Hughes (deputy clerk). Befor proceeding with the business, the Chairmrn moved a vote of con- dolence with the clerk, in the sad loss of his sister. This was carried in silence. It was decided that the next meet- ing of the Council, should be held on Tuesday, July 31st. An application was read from Mr C. Foster, Pontlottyn, for an increase in commission for the collection of water and cottage rents. There were extra oharges, he said, for train fare, etc, which justified his application. Th 5 usual rate of commission fcr this claas of collection was 20 per cent. The latter statement caused some sur- prise, and was repudiated.—Mr John Edwards: He is paid well now at 10 per cent.—The matter was referred to the Finance Committee, with a sug- gestion that the Accountant carry oat the duties The tender of Mr Wm Jenkins, of Bodwais, was accepted at £ 51 18s 6d. f for laying a sewer in John street, Bar- I goed. The tender of Mr E. L. Wat- kins, Bargoed, was aooepted for the supply of meat to the Hospital for the next three months. A letter was read from Supt. T. Williams, Glamorgan Constabulary, in reply to the council's application that the police thronghont the parish of Gelligaer, should act as shops' in- spectors, stating that the duties of the police in this respect would be limited to powers under the Defence of the Realm Regulations.—Several members pointed out that these regu. lations overlapped the council's orders, and it woald only be necessary for the police to supervise the district on three nights a week.—It was deoided to -the Superintendent pointing out this fact. A letter was read from the Local Tribunal, asking Council's permission that their clerk, Mr C. J. Samuel, who had been appointed accountant, should be allowed to continue his duties as clerk to that authority. In supporting the application, Mr E. Richards said, that to cause a change to be made now, would be a most difficult matter. The position was not a whole time one, and as Mr Samuel was entitled to one half day per week, it could be competent for him to arrange that on the day of the tribunal, that, however, was not necessary, if the Council granted this application. In moving that it be sanctioned, he expressed regret that a motion bad not been adopted to change the whole of the tribunal. The members had carried out their duties up to the present. So long as the war lasted, this tribunal would have to Bit, but it was a pity other members could not be brought in now to relieve those who had done the work up to the present. The motion to grant the request was adopted. The seal of the Council was affixed to the authority to use the Council's name as relator to the aotion against the Rbymney Railway Company, re Melin Cylla footpath. A letter was read from the residents of Fochriw, as the outcome of a public meeting, asking that measures be taken now, to deal with men re- leased from the army at the termin. ation of the war, and suggesting the construction of a road from Fochriw to Penybank. Mr Sidney Jones, opposed any speeial privilege being given to this road, and pointed out that there were other roads far more advanced. than the one under review. Finally, it was decided that the sub. ject should be placed on the list with other works to be executed after the war. u.

TREDEOAR COMPANY'S I PROSPECTS, Lord Absrconway presided on Fri- day, at 60, FencTiurch-street, over the ordinary general meeting of the share- holders of this company. In moving the adoption of the report he said fhat the South Wales coalfield came under the control of the Government, on December 1 last, and after six months' leJay and negotiation between repre- sentative conlowners and th) Coal Controller, definite arrangements had now been made. They were not yet public property, but the chairman knew enough about them to be able to say that they very seriously affected the discipline and conduct of business in companies like their own. Bit if the Controller allowed them to keep their collieries in thoroughly efficient condition they ought not to complain of what was going to be done. He would be satisfied if nothing was done by the Controller which would injure the-future prospects of the company, and he did not think that anything of that kind was likely to be done, The Chairman thought that the shareholders were treated on a very much worse basis thin the coalminer. Their men were gxnticg fifty-five per cent. increase in wages over the new standard- which was equivalent to 130 per cent, iricease on the old standard. That was pre- sumably to meet the extra expense of living owing to the war, but the share- holders were not getting any increase or war bonus of any kind, though the purchasing power of a sovereign had been decreased to a large extent owing to the war, and that was likely to be continued, and their 12 per cent., regarded from a pre-war point of view. Continuing, Lord Aberconway said the company hid taken a new coal- field, a very large area, to the south of Oakdale. They hoped to com- mence there after the war. They might have diminution of profits after the war, but there was not a colliery company whose position was so well secured as theirs. Colonel A. K. Wylie, C.B., second- ed, and the report was adopted, and dividends declared as previously an- nounced.

■ 9 BRITtfDIR ASSAULT CAse. I Mr Llewellyn (solicitor for the defence) is the only person apart from the complainant who had my sym- pathy in this case. He really had a hopeless task in defending those crea- tures in the dock with the appearance of women and the hearts of savages. We are utisfiecl that these four defen- dants joined in committing what I must describe as a brutal and dis- graceful assault upon Mrs. Thomas in her own house. They behaved more like a pack of wolves than human beings. If we had not heard this evidence from two respectable women (two witnesses who attended court on supceDa) one would have thought it incredible that such a blackguardly affair should have taken place in a village like Britbdir. We are deter- mined to make an example of these women by inflicting a substantial fine upon them. They are each fi. ed 60s. and eosts." This was the scathing comment at Merthyr Police Court on Friday of Mr R. A. Griffith (stipen. diary) anent. an assault case which oame before him. Mary M. Thomas, a widow with eight children, of James street, Brithdir, was complainant, and four neighbours, Rachel Jones, Matilda Pooock, Margaret Green, and Jessie Mond, wore the defendants. Mr W. Ebsworth, Bargoed, was soliaitor for complainant.

.lei — TREDEOAR MINBRS' MEETING. The monthly meeting of the Tredegar Valley District of the South Wales Miners' Federation was held at Black- wood,-on Monday, Mr R. Lanagan presiding. The official report states that the Tytrist Colliery washery work- men were seeking to come under the Conciliation Board agreement and be paid under the same agreement as the other colliery workmen and not under the Iron and Steelworkers' Association as at present. The case was coming be- fore the Appeal Court this week. Three new seams were about to be opened at Nine Mile Point Colliery, and Mr O. Edwards, assistant agent, reported that he had had a preliminary convers- ation with regard to the price lists for the new seams, and he hoped for a suc- cessful issue, which would relieve the double shift which so largely pre- vailed at the colliery. Mr Oliver '¥'< e Hart-is (Executive member), referring to the Industrial Unrest Commission, stated that the Council bad decided to give evidence on behalf of the South Wales miners. The first and foremost reason for discontent among the workers was the high cost of food. Another cause was the consciousness of the v. orkera that they were more iraporl^vnt to the nation as wealtb, prod uc-.erg than the privileged classes, and were de- manding their full rights. A letter was read from Mr Alfred Onions (agent) stating that he was not making such progress towards recovery as he could wish.
