ALLEGED ARSON AT Y5TRAD .MYNACH.
ALLEGED ARSON AT Y5TRAD MYNACH. I' THREAT TO POLICE- SERGEANT. At the Bargoed Court on Friday* before Mr E. Edwards and Dr. T. }4} ii Richards, W. R. Dugdale (38), a rigger, of Ysfrad Mynach, was charged with arson. Mr John Evans appeared to prosecute and Mr Harold Lloyd, Cardiff, defended. In opening the case, Mr Evans unfolded a remarkable story. He said the defendant was charged that on the 4th December he set fire to a abed at Yatrad Mynach, belonging to P.S. W. H. Williams, with the result that twcr motor cycles -wfwe-dedtroyed- and the total damage was about £11,0. The circumstances of the event was that on the previous night the accused I called with the officer in reference to I some enqairiM which he had been making respecting a dog that had been worrying sheep. As he was under the influence of drink he was told to call next morning The defendant however, became very stubborn and refused to go for some time. A short while after this he returned and was almost forced out of the local Police Station, but on leaving he turned around and made this significant remark. "All right Sergeant you will be b- sorry for this before the morning." At about S o'clock in the morning the Sergeant, was called out that his motor shed was on fire. be fire had such a hold that the whole of the building was destroyed together with t*o motor cycles. Later the officer went to the defendant's house and there found him lying in front of the izrate in which there was no fire. He cautioned him and told him he would be charged wtth causing the fire. He was told to pot (n his bontg and accompany the officer 10 rhe v.-tVion, but this ho rt ht-rd to d't Hud in conse- quence had to b, i..lieu to the Police Station in hia stocking fi-et Subse- quently trie officer had the defendant' boots and on these there was some white ashes similar to those which I were in the cycle shed. T ere was also ashes on his trousers. There were blisters on his hands and there was also tar on them. The evi- dence, said Mr Evans, was purely of a circumstantial character but was so strong that he asked the Bench to commit the defendant for trial. Evidence bearing out these facts was given by P.S. W. H. Williams, Inspector W. J. Canton and Dr. Bowèn, after which Bench de- cided to commit defendant for trial to the assizes. Mr Harold Lloyd called two witnesses who said defendant had not left the house after he came home at 9 15 pm.

NEW TREDEGAR APPEAL CASE DISMISSED.…
NEW TREDEGAR APPEAL CASE DISMISSED. In the Division it Court on Monday the ca-e of Gertrud e Davies, Surgery House, New Tred gur, against the Central Mid vjve Board was h,mrd. Mr D. Rjwiiud Thorn <s, instructed by Messrs. Wrentmore & Soa, agents for Messrs Spickett & Sons, Bargoed, for the appellant, said the appellant was a certified midwife under the Act, and had been practising in Sjuth Wales for 12 years. On 19th Decem- ber la..¡t there were certain charges o* neglect preferred against her by th." Central Mid wive.1 B ;>ard, and on the 10th Jaunary a preliminary h'-arin^ in London by thu BJard took place, at which the appellint was invited to attend. Counsel stated the first charge was found to bj proved, The second was gone into, ani found not proved, and with regard to the third it wa- said they did not propose to tender any evidence, so that, so far a* the appeal was concerned, it had only to do with the first oharge. The Board postponed decision for six monthH with a view of getting a report from the looal supervising authority. After givicgthat report, the Central Board wrote appellant 'hat it was unsatis- factory in reFpoot of her failure t a': once advise the medical authority, and Central Board had decided to remov,, her name from the Midwivei Roll and cancel her certificate. Counsel said that should not have been done until appellant had given her version before the Board in the second case, which ought to have been properly tried. Having beard Mr Rawlinson, K C., for the respondent, the appel. lant then gave evidence on oath. She said with regard to Mrs. Davies' child she noticed something wrong with the baby's eyes nine cays aftee birth, and at once notified the doctor. In the second case against her she noticed, 12 days after the child's birth, that the eyes were not right, and she th?n notified the doctor. The hesring was adjourned. The hearing Wit.8 resumed on Tues- day. Pluintiff denied the charges aud said she called in medical assistance as soon as she found anything wrong with theohildren. Mr Justice Darling, giving judgment, said in bis opiniou the Board came to a right conclusion and upon proper evideuce, and he arrived at the same conclusion as they did, and they we-o right in the cir- cumstances in cancelling her certificate *8 they did, and striking her off the Roll of Midwivea. The other justices concurred, and the appeal was accor- dingly dismissed. ————— :8:

THE LIGHTS OF CHRISTMAS. A SEASONAB 3 SUGGESTION. t After the dark Decembers of the las four seasons, it is a pleasure merely to walk through the lighted streets once more, and to gaze oa i;he brilliant display in the shop windows worthily arranged for a Peace Christmas.

I For Digestive Troubles TAKj Mother Seigel's Syrup. Where your health is concerned, it is unwise to take unoecesfary risks. lfor example: if you have the pains and discomforts of Indigestion-bad digestion—such as pains after eating, biliousness, headaches, flatulence, heartburn, etc., it is folly to act as though the trouble will right itself. The odds are that the trouble will become aggravated if neglected. Duo regard should be taken of all Nature's warnings. Mother Seigel's Syrup is ack- nowledged by hundreds of thousands to be the best digestive tonic and stomachic remedy. It acts directly on stomach, liver and bowels, toning and strengthening them to healthy activity thus enabling them to perform their functions easily and naturally. This world-famous remedy, by eliminatirg all waste matter from the system and ensuring the proper digestion of the food you eat, purifies and enriches your blood, with the result that you should then enjoy the vigour and buoyancy of robust health. Put it to the test to-day. I ■ w < w ——
!POLITICS FOR WOMEN. !
POLITICS FOR WOMEN. BT WOMAN VOTE& By WOMAN VOTER. The most momentous election ia the his- tory of this country is over. Tie women of England have cast their CTitt ParUasneatary vote, and we now have te wait with what patience vke can muster to know the result; but I will say at once that I am decidedly more satisfied with the general outlook than I was three weeks ago. or even 0Be week. From the Prime Minister's poittt of view the tide undoubtedly turned at the last moment. Why tkis tide of popularity should ever have ebbed is unaccountable, :)ut the Pr me Minister lias himaelf to blame. For some unknown reason he persisted ia avoiding the main isswo-whether Germany should- pay and wlte" enemy atieiu shoua be expel'-ed fima this country. fben were treated as aide issues, and it was xot Tmtii his speeck at Bristol, 4kree days hefcxe poll- iiiif day, that he reany made all ap- pr. a biag a satisfaefcKy ammouncenumt.

But even thee I ail to tatdeutaad wfcy Mr. Lloyd George shoala deftay to the last mo- ment making a de £ a?t«> statement on ttit policy regarding Ike trea&nexi fill Germaay, when it was gedwally agreed that withami it there was a. verv grawe danger af the Coalition feeing, if not Seated, very feaily shaken. The only qiNSrtloai that memains to be answered now is wfeetitsr he origin ally in- tended to do the right tlBnc, or whether it was foroe of ckounataacf^ -and file weight of public opimaa that competed kiw to. The late hour to which lie left it certainly gives one the iixfiression that the latfier was the ease. One of the nowt interesting feaiaret is the fact that tfca Priate vm. fisal an. nouneenaent is poeactically WeTitk-Q with the views expressed in tkeoe arti&)s several weeks age. Of OKirse, I do aet presnaae that he reads them, but it is certainly very saiia- factory to find that the opiniosa feaeasW here are now the policy of tAw Prime Minis- ter. I do not dans credit for •riginatiiig' these ideas, as I inizat admit I copied mmst of them from the policy of the NatMimt Party, and I have heard it cud in maay consti- tuencies that it was in reapoDM to the acfent appeals from Coalitioa CALKMEA;FS who were faced by National Party opponeata, tiiat the Prime Minister and his followeee were forced at the eleventk hour to adopt their pro- gramme in an effort to avoid defeat. Any of my women readers who were pre- sent at the Priiae Minister's Women's Meet- ing at the Qucmi's Hall, Londoa, will agrea that he had. no easy time. Perhaps that de- cided him to adopt the policy tkal the women demanded. This is My tie case, and, if so, we can claim to kava thoroughly justified our right to Vote. Nothing now remains but to await the result, and if the women of England have done their duty the Coalition will have woa in every seat where the National Party have not nominated a candidate. Perhaps it would be as well if I made eSaar one point that, to judge from eorrespoa- den eo. has been misunderstood.
