ALLEGED THEFT OF CHEQUE I CASE AGAINST TWO BUTCHERS AT SWANSEA DECLARED INCOMPLETE At the Swansea Quarter Sessions. held on Tuesday, Evan Jones (24)-, butcher, and Trevor Owens (30), butcher, were jointly charged with stealing a banker's cheque for £31" the property of Wm. Henry Watkins, general haulier, 1-. Bryn-road, Swansea, and fraudulently corrnrting it to their own use at Neath, Ion September 10th. They pleaded not guilty. Mr. G. R. W. Thomas prosecuted, and Mr Griffith Jones defended. Prosecutor said be went to Neath Fair and sold a horse to a man named George Gay for £ 35, being paid SSt by cheque and St in gold. He bought another horse for £ 14, and went to the Cross Keys Inn, aud asked the landlady to cash the cheque. Jones, whom witness had known from a little boy, said, "I have a pal outside who will change it for you." Witness endorsed the cheque, and gave it to him. Ho did not see Jones again until he was chargcd at the Police Court. Owens was with Jones, and went with him outside. The Chairman (Judge Lloyd Morgan) pointed out that the case was uncomplete without the evidence of the bank clerk, who had not answered to liis subpoena- In the circumstances he would advise the jury to formally return a verdict of not: guilty. The jury acted accordingly-

CHILD IN TORTURE WITH RASH j 40, Barloorowgn St., New Creim, Lon- don, S-E., Eng.—"My little girl three years old came out in a rash all over her face. The irritation was so great that she used to scratch so much the skin broke out into running sores. Jt spread all over her head and body. The torture was terrible; I had to tie her hands to keep her from scratching. It still got worse. She could scarcely see out of her eyes. I had no rest night or day with her and the disfigurement was so bad I was ashamed to have my firiends see her. I began to get worried. I "I tried several cheap ointments but it still got worse. I began to think it would prove fatal when a neighbour toM me of an advertisement of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and I at once sent for a sample. The first application relieved her and I bought a supply. After using four or five boxes of Cuticura Ointment and the Cuticura Soap my little girl was completely cured." (Signed) Mrs. A. Atkins, Jan. 21, 1914.. Although Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment are sold by chemists throughout; the world, a sample of each with 32-p. Skin Book will be sent post-free upon request.

[ ATTACKED ON THE COMMON- LLAHCyFELACH SINKER SENT TO PRISON FOR THilEE MONTHS At Swansea Quarter Sessions, on Tues- day, Thomas Moss (29), sinker,, was in- dieted with unlawfully and maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm upon Elias Williams, at Llangyfelach on -lune, 9th. Mr. Trevor Hunter prosecuted, and Mr. Clarke Williams defended. The case for the prosecution was that: about ten o'clock on the night of June 9th. Williams left the Joiners' Arms, LiRngy- fda.eh. in company with William Wtl-' liams, his brother, and Thomas Thomas, a,,? friend. They were quite sober. They walked threes-quarters of a mile, and on reaching the common, saw Moss, who, as they were passing, jumped from tbp hedge to the road and struck prosecutor in the eye with a piece of wood. Moss ran back towards Llangyfelach, and Thomas Thomas gave chase. but could not catch II him. Dr. John .Tones, Clydach, said Williams' right eye was now gone altogether. On oath. Moss said there had been a difference between them over horses in the Joiners' Arms. Ha hit Williams in' self-defence, but did not mean to injure his eye. The jury found prisoner gailty under provocation. Mr. Clarke Williams remarked that prisoner was under orders for the front on the 28th of the month. The Chairman (Mr. O. H. JonesN said he was very sorry on that account, but ¡t prisoner had been found guilty of a very serious offence. He would be sentenced to three months' hard labour.

PASSING A TRAMCAR I SWANSEA CASE TURNS ON QUESTlOI OF I RULE OF THE ROAD. At the Swansea County Court on Wed-1 nesday—before his Honour Judge Bryn! Roberts—Lydia Williams. a married woman, sued S. R. B. Pennington, a mmor, of the Promenade. Swansea, for damages for injuries sustained through being knocked down by a bicycle. Mr. Vaughan Edwards appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Rupert Lewis for respondent. The evideucfl was that Mrs. Williams I was knocked down when alighting from a tram-car. For the defence, Mr. Lewis quoted a decision of Lord Alverstone, who said that the rule that one should pass on the left side was a stupid one. a.nd must be altered. The Local Govenment Board had aineo made the alteration. The Swan- sea Justices had, however, decided other- wise. and had said that one must pasr, on the left side under all circumstances. Mr. Lewis quoted the case where the local bench registered a conviction against the Town Clerk (Mr. Lang Coath) for pass- ing a tramcar on the right hand side. His Honour, without calling upon Mr. Vaughan Edwards, decided that the latter had made out his case, and awarded 4:5 5s. damages.

A DUEL OF DEATH. HEROIC STAID OF BATTERY (f ROYAL II HORSE ARTILLERY. When the roll of honour of the war is completed, the L Battery of the Royaf Horse Artillery will occupy a foremost place. The story of their noble service has been gleuned from surviving members who have arrived it Wool-w-ich to rest, while their guns are being refitted in the Arsenal. Two batteries, supported by a brigade of cavalry, for nearly three weeks, under most, trying and exhausting con- ditions, covered the retreat of that portion of the Allied forces which fell back on Compiegne. On the last day of the retire- ment, and on the eve of the general advance, the battery, through the non- arrival of an order, were left alone in the morning mist. When this lifted they found a body of French cavalry, which had occupied a ridge about 600 yards away, had fallen back and its place taken by a strong German force with 10 field guns and two maxims. The battery was subjected immediately to a terrible enfilading fire, and owing to its position could only reply with three guns. The first volley from the Germans killed nearly all the horses of too gun team. Three Men Left. I Retirement being rendered impossible, the commanding officer (Captain Brad- bury) had the guns unlimbered and the three which could be brought to bear on the enemy were served by men who had survived the first few moments. These three guns replied with such effect that one by one the German guns were silenced. Meanwhile, however, two of the British guns had been put out of action. The remaining gun, with only very few men left, continued to fire until only three men, non-commissioned officers, were left. These three, crouching be- hind the shield, kept up such a deadly fire that eventually only one German gun remained to continue the combat. An equal duel went on for a time 4ntlt both parties had had enough of it. They ceased fire almost simultaneously. Recommended for V.C. Then a strong force of cavalry and in- fantry came to the relief of the three heroes who, it is stated, have been re- commended for the Victoria Cross. Of the four officers with the battery, three (Captain Bradbury, Lieut. Mundy, and Lieut. Campbell) were Killed, whilst Lieut- Tefford was wounded. The three tilled were mentioned Í11 dl, and the decoration of the Legion of Honour has been conferred on Lieut. Tefford. The relieveing force advanced to the German position and found all who bad du-vircd the British fire bad retired, ]eaving their guns in the hands of the Allies. i Of over -W men who composed the battery and its ammunition column only I 125 have returned.

UNHAPPY HUNS. HP ESSED BY THE INFLUENCE OF THE AISNE BATTLE. TROOPS" BAD HEALTH Amsterdam. Oct. 13.—The Tyd's Berlin correspondent says to-night that the Germans are depressed by the Ul- lfuence of the Aisne struggle. They have become silent, and even the capture ot Antwerp has not neutralized the pre- vailing depression. A Reichstag told the. correspondent that the exodus of the population signified a. h(?avy blo- to Germany alike hom the point of view of the provisioning of the army of occupa- tion and the excessively bad impression the flight would make on the w hole world- Concerning the Zeppelin fleet to oper- ate from Antwerp as a base, the Ger- mans, the correspondent says, are unable to disguise from themselves that the right time for tbe movement of Zep- pelins is over, as they gre worth nothing in the autumn, and during winter storms any such expedition may end in iI debacle. Moreover, tbe Aisne battle must have a crippling influence on the expedition of an army against England, All the troops must remain for the j struggle in France. It was impossible to risk an invasion of England unless a movement were sup- ported by a mass of troops. The worst is, says the correspondent, that the health of the German Army on the Aisne is significantly declining, and the situa- tion in the trenches must gradually bc- come indescribable. This is the opinion of a doctor with whom the correspondent: spoke, and who has been for a long time on the Aisne. The doctor said that diarrhcea was increasing, and that the cases of typhus were appreciably more numerous. All the medical personnel that could be spared was being pent in long trains to the Aisne.—" Times."

CLOSE FOR THE OINKL-R HOUR INTERESTING SUGGESTION AT SWANSEA GROCERS' ASSOCIATION A meeting of the Swansea and District. Grocery Association was held on Tuesday evening. Mr. A. Richards (president) occupying the chair. A vote of condolence was passed with the family of the late Mr. William Lewis, of Morriston. During the consideration of trade ma,t.t.er,s, Mr. Webster suggested that the time was opportune for considering the question of earlier closing. Mr. Vergette said it was desirable that they should close during the dinner hour like workman, because of the way in which business was upset at the present time from 12 to 2 o'clock through the assistants having to leave the premises for their meals to comply with the new law. No decision, however, was arrived at on I the point.

TALLEST IN THE KINGDOM. I tPOLlCE GiANT mns EVIDENCE AT SWANSEA POUCE COURT. Sergeant J. H. Folland, Bargoed, who gave evidence in a licensing appeal at the Glamorgan Quarter Sessions at Swan- sea on Wednesday morning is reputed to be the Kali est policeman \n the United Kingdom. He stands 6ft. 7|iru in his socks. A Metropolitan constable was formerly believed to enjoy this distinction, but Folland is an inch taller than his London comrade.

Sir Edward Carson, who for some time relinquished his hg. work in order to give his whole time to the position of Ulster, made a reappearance in the High Court yesterday. When Si r Edward rose in the Court of Appeal, to open a case, Lord Justice Buckley remarked. a Before you proceed. Sir Edward, I ought to say how very glad we are to see you here again." Bir Edward thanked the Court, and added: "I may say how very glad I am to be back."

COCKETT RATE 6/10. c. IKCREASIHG EXPENOI TUBE NOT DOE TO THE WAR. INCLUSION IN BOROUGH VOTE. The Cockett Parish Council met on Tuesday evening in the Swansea Guardian Board room, Mr. John Davies presiding. It was attended by several ratepayers. who bad come for the consideration of the peti- tion re inclusion of the Parish of Cockett in the Borough of Swansea. It was reported that in Sketty (which includes Dunvant and Killay), 471 signa- tures had been received out of a burgess roll of 711—-63 per cent.; from Waunar- Iwydd 89 per cent, and Fforestfach 83 per cent. But more were expected, Sketty being a difficult district to work. Closing the Lists. On the proposal of Mr. Walter Webber, it was resolved that the petition be closed this day week, and that. the Town Clerk of Swansea be written to before November 1st. It was also decided, on the motion of IÙlv. J. Davies, to write to the Chairman and Clerk of the General Purposes Com- mittee of the Swansea Rural District Council, asking that body to support the inclusion. Economically Expended. It was reported that the EIO voted by the Council for the improvement of the Felinfach footpath had been very econo- mically expended, and it was resolved that a further sum of S.5 be granted for a continuation of this purpose. A Very Heavy Call. Mr. W. H. Jones, an overseer for the Parish of Cockett, said that they had for this six months a very heavy call. Though there were decreases in tho de- mands of the Guardians and County Council, the general expenses of the Dis- trict Council was £680 more than in the last six months, and the District Council special expenses were £860 more. The overpeers would therefore have to find tl,5,40 more than in the last six months. They had fixed the rate for the next six months at 6s. lOd. in the E. For the pre- vinits six months it had been 5s 6d. The Chairman proposed a vote of thanks to the overseers for their courtesy. A member said he would like to know what had become of the arrears spoken of six months ago. O said Mr. W. ]?y.. H Reduced by £ 200," said Mr. W. R. Morgan, another overseer. The vote of thanks was unanimously aoreed to. I Not Due to the War. One of the overseers assured our repre- sentative that the increased expenses were not, in his opinion, at all attributable to the war. I
