Light Bitter Beer of the very highest grade of purity, and in my opinion, II 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. Tie characteristic bitter of the Hops being well in evidence it forms a mod agreeable drink. There is not the slightest trace of any objectionable metallic substance present, and I consider it a very High-class Beer to every respect. Being sent out in Screw-Stoppered Flagons Its high aeration is preserved to perfection In consequence, and then Is no ehance 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.

I EBBW VALE TRIBUNAL. An important statement on the limitation of the powers of recruiting tribunals with regard to men in con- trolled works was made at the Ebbw Vale Tribunal on Friday, Councillor W. Cox presiding, Captain C. Latham (the ohief dilution officer) made it clear that under the new regulations the tribunal were not the competent authority to deal with any cases from a controlled establishment, although they could, of course, still deal with cases on domestic grounds. He quite appreciated the point raised by the tribunal, and he assured them that he was doing all in his power to get men similar to those named by the tri- bunal in the Army as quickly as possible. Mr J. Gale: Then I take it, for example, that a man who comes here to work as a blast furnacemen, even if he has only about three manths' experience, cannot be touched ? Captain Latham: Not unless you can prove conclusively that he has 1 come here to shirk the Army. Mr Geo Davies said personally he was not disposed to go through any more Ebbw Vale Company eases. We are making ourselves look ridiculous before the publio." Captain Latham: The tribunal, of course, override 118 every time on the domestic appeal. The tribunal, who thanked Captain' Latham for his atteadanee, decided that they could not touch the com- pany cases in future, and that the whole facts be plaoed before the War Office, Army Couneil,, md the Miaistry of Munitions.

BRUTAL ASSAULT UPON THE j POLICE AT GELLIGAER. A SEVEN HOURS HEARING. The JtJargoed magistrates on Friday, Messrs. Jacob Ray and J. H. Mathias, sat for upwards of seven hours hear- ing a case in which John Davies (24), John Jones (28), colliers, Peng-am, Ernest Summers (29), and John Rees (28), colliers, Fleur-de-lys, were charged with assaulting Police- constable Wiltiam Bowen, at Gelligaer, on June 26th. There was a cross-summons againfit Police-constable Bowen by John Davies for assault. Superintendent T. Williams prose- cuted for the police, Mr D. J. Trea- sure, Pengam, defended Jones, and Mr W. Ebsworth the other three defendants. The story of Police-constable Bowen was a somewhat sensational midnight -scene in a field. He said that at 9.15 p.m. he saw Davies and the other defendants outside the Harp Inn, Gelligaer. Davies was playing a game of "hand ball." He told them to get off home, and they went in the direction of the footpath, which leads through the churchyard. Witness went towards Peoallta and retnrned to the Village at 11.15 p.m., hearing seme shouting and swearing in the field near the Church- yard, Gelligaer, he went in the direction of the sounds. He saw the four defendants, with others near the footpath. They started to go away when suddenly Davies turned around and throwing off his coat, said, We will see what we can do for you." At the same time Summers and Rees took off their coats, and all made a rush for him. Summers threw his coat over witness's head and Rees struck him a blow on the head. As he threw the coat off his head he he received two blows, one on eaoh eye. At the same time, said witness, Davies struok him on the left oheek and Jones struck him in the chest. He afterwards received a blow on the right eye and fell face downwards. As soon as he got down the four de- fendants got on top of him. He heard Davies shouting, "Give it to him boys." He (witness) got up, drew his staff, and blew his whistle. Davies then exclaimed, I didn't strike you, Bowen. If YOII sav 88 I will give you a hiding now." De. fendant aimed a blow at him, and missed. Witness then struck Davies with his staff, and the others ran away. Witness then heard a woman shout from the bottom of the field, 41 Its alright; it's all right! Witts is com- ing now," meaning that Police- oonatable Witts was coming in answer to witness's whistle. Davies was taken into custody that night, and in the early hours of the morning the others were arrested. Mrs Williams, the wife of Thomas Williams, said she was attending to the fowls, when she heard P.C. Bowen tell someone to go home. Then she heard blows being struck,a policeman's whistle sounded and someone say "We have got you now Bowen." She also heard them call for help, she then went out and took a poker with her in the event of she being attacked. She saw Willie Lewis and almost directly P.C. Witts and she shouted alright Bowen Witts is coming." Two men ran past her in the direction of Penpedairhoel. Cross-examined She had a poker in her hand, and took it from the house in the event of an attack being made upon her. P.C. Folland, said, that in company wita P.C; Bowen he went to Sum- mers' house and arrested him, Sum- mers said he knew nothing about it and had not been to Gelligaer. Later her said, it is no good telling lies, I took part in the assault, but I did not kick." He (witness) then went to Jones' house, and afterwards 1 to where Rees lived, as Jones had not come home. When he informed Rees that he was about to be arrested in connection with thA Msfai ti, he said, That's a fine yarn." I never saw a policeman. What I did and am willing to suffer for. I was in the crowd, when on the way to Bar- goed Police Station, Summers said "I did not expect this. Had I known I was going to be arrested I would j have joined the Labour Battalion. They will take anybody in there and ask no questions." Later on, witness arrested Jones on a w,rrant, and when charged said I am innocent, I never struck a policeman, I admit I was drunk." Further evidence was given by P.C. Witts, Reg Bolton, and Arthur Isaacs. Each of the defendants went into the box and denied the assault. Davies set up a most- extraorelinary story to the effect that after getting into the field, Jones' 11 legii began to give way," and the other three de- fendants commenced to carry him in the direction of their home. The task was a difficult one and they had to have many spells" on the way. When they got into the second field he received two blows, one on the face and the other on the back of the neck. He did not know by whom delivered, and as it was dark he saw no one about. When he was later on charged at the Bargoed Police Station, he complained to Isspecior Canton of being assaulted by P.C. Bowen. Davies was cross-examined at some length by Superintendent Williams as to the second party of men alleged to have been on the field, bat he could give no explanation of their presence. A number of witnesses were called for the defence, and,lag already stated, after a hearing lasting over seven hours, the bench imposed a fine of ES each or 28 days.
