NOTES OF THE WEEK. WHLSH MEMBERS' KEVOLT. The Prime Minister's announcement that the Government could not carry the Disestablishment Bill further than the second reading this Session has been received in Pembrokeshire, in common with other parts of the Principality, with feelings of regret and disappointment. Why precedence should be given to the Irish Land Bill it is difficult to say unless there are reasonable grounds for supposing that this measure will be more acceptable to the House of Lords than the Bill for the separation of Church and State in Wales. We cannot suppose, after the magnificent stand made on behalf of Temperance Reform, that the great Liberal Party dislike fightmg for great moral principles, though the materialisation of politics since the disappear- ance of Gladstone is not without significance. This postponement of another great measure to which the Government stand committed is another example of the futility of legislating on sufferance. The Welsh nation does not want any theatrical display, will not, in fact, be satisfied at the measure for which it has made repeated demands being carried merely through the House of Commons. That would not bring Disestablishment as a reality any nearer, although it would enable the Welsh repre- sentatives to say that they had fulfilled the pledge they gave to the constituencies. But the Govern- ment cannot afford to see. rejected another first-class measure and yet to continue in office, with the House of Lords gaining in prestige and authority after each successive victory. It may be retorted that unless the Government are prepared to fight, and if need be, to go down fighting on the issue which they have raised, it was an error to have placed Disestablishment in the King's Speech, and a greater error still to have introduced the Hill. To raise hopes which cannot be fulfilled is not States- manship and it is not good tactics. One of two courses we could have understood. We could under- stand the measure being deferred until the Govern- ment were in a position to carry it through, or we could understand a Government deciding to make Welsh Disestablishment an integral part of their policy on which they are prepared to stand or fall. But the middle course of an insincere theatrical display we cannot understand, and now that the Bill has been introduced the Welsh Parliamentary Party must, unless they are to become an absolutely discredited and ineffective group, act as Mr Walter Rocb wishes them to act and insist on the pledges given to the Party being faithfully observed. I THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL. The Haverfordwest Grammar School, which has now over 100 pupils in attendance, continues to pro- gress in various directions. This is the tribute which is paid to it by Mr Owen Owen, the Chief Inspector of the Central Welsh Board, who has never been biased in favour of Haverfordwest. Mr Owen is especially pleased to learn that an additional master who is capable of teaching Welsh has been appointed. This appointment was a very sensible departure, because of recent years there has been quite a revival in the popularity of the Celtic tongue. It is now recognised that the Welsh language has a great future, and the number of scholars who desire to explore the rich fields of its literature is every dav increasing. It was because of the richness of its poetry and literature that Matthew Arnold submitted himself to the ordeal of learning Welsh, and we hope that many pupils of the Grammar School will desire to familiarise themselves with the Celtic tongue. The friends of the school will be pleased to hear of its greatly improved financial position and will wish it even more brilliant laurels in the future than it I has won in the past.

LOCAL AND OTHER NEWS. I A fine display of Imperia clothing is now being made by Mr David Davies, 18, High Street, Haverfordwest.

Obituary.—By the death of Mrs. Cecelia Beynon, of Dew Street, in this town, the neighbourhood has received a great loss. Her generous nature and kindly visitations to the sick and needy will not easily be forgotten. Mrs Beynon suffered from a very painful illness for no less than ten monihs, which she bore with great patience and Christian fortitude. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon last, Rev. Father Wolfrey officiating. It was largely attended by both sexes, and this with the large number of beautiful floral tributes, bore testimony to the high esteem the deceased was held in among all classes. The deceased was a devout Catholic, and leaves a husband, two daughters, and a son, to mourn her loss. —Communicated. Police Court.—At the Shire Hall, Haver- fordwest, yesterday week. before Mr H T Rule Owen, and Mr T H Thomas, David James Thomas, and his wife, Margaret Thomas, were brought up on a. charge of stealing a pocket handkerchief, a pound of sugar, two ounces of tea, and a portion of a loaf of bread, the property of Pasquale Reale, an organ grinder living in Quay Street. Evidence was given by the complainant, Alber Elt, a water-cress vendor, and P.C Wheeler. Information was given to the police, and defendants were arrested in Dew Street. On being searched the pocket handkerchief was found on the female defendant, and the other articles in her husband's possession. The male defendant was committed for seven days' hard labour, but no evidence was given against his wife. An Interesting Scene. An interesting scene was witnessed on the Castle Square last night and on the preceding night. A stranger, noted for his strength, had on Monday evening given exhibitions on the Square in weight-lifting, and such was the marvellous strength exhibited that when he announced that the per- formances would be continued on the following evening, "the strong man" as everybody called him-was assured of a large audience, for about eight o'clock a huge crowd of children and young people gathered on the Square. This time, however, the strong man's efforts were frustrated by his own popularity and because of the want of open space no performance could be given. There is no doubt that our visitor possesses extraordinary strength and is a champion weight-lifter and wrestler.

I Haverfordwest County Court. I I DAMAGES AGAINST A MOTORIST. I SEQUEL TO A TIERSON ACCIDENT. I The Haverfordwest County Court was held yesterday before His Honour Judge Bishop. I HAVERFORDWEST DEALER'S CLAIM. James Lewis, marine store dealer, Spring Gardens, Haverfordwest, sued D. Bradbury Jones, 5 King Street, Carmarthen, cycle dealer, for tl7 10, damages sustained to plaintiff's horse and trap by reason of the defendant not stopping his motor car. The claim consisted of injuries to a horse, and tl 10s damage to a trap. Mr R. T. P. Williams was for the plaintiff, and Mr Marlay Samson (instructed by Mr Thomas Walters, Carmarthen) for the defendant. Mr R. T. P. Williams said that the circumstances happened on the 7th of October last, at about two o'clock in the afternoon. The plaintiff wasthen on his way from Haverfordwest to a sale which was being held at Tierson farm, a matter of about six or seven miles out. He was driving to the sale in a trap with a horse which was his property. As he was going he saw coming towards him from the direction of Tierson a motor car driven by a servant of the defendant. The plaintiff noticed that the glass -wind -guard was up and the sun was shining on it. He signalled to the driver to stop when the car was a matter of 100 yards away. His Honour: How did the man signal r Mr Williams With his hand. The driver, added Mr Williams, did not stop, but continued driving at practically the same speed at which he had been travelling-a matter of about 20 miles an hour. Instead of stopping the driver drove on until he came to about five yards of plaintiff. He was then obliged to come to a stop for the horse became restive, and fell. Some damage was done to ths trap and the harness. His Honour Wha t is the ground of the claim r Mr Williams We contend that the driver drove in a negligent manner, and that he did not stop when signalled to by the plaintiff. Continuing Mr Williams said he could not suggest that the horse had suffered very great damage, but since the accident it had been practically useless to the plaintiff. Before the accident the plaintiff was in the habit of driving the horse himself about the country in connection with his business. It would pass motor cars, and the plaintiff bad driven his wife and children about, and had been in the habit of leaving it unattended in the street while he was attending to his business. Before the accident, the animal was of considerable use to the plaintiff. Now the horse absolutely would not pass motor cars, and was quite useless to the plaintiff, in the sense that he could not go about with it himself. He had to take another man with him for the horse would not pass motor bicycles nor any- thing that made a noise. Furthermore, added Mr Williams, in the stables, when a motor car passed- His Honour It shivers. Mr Williams: It plunges and kicks. Owing to what happened this horse in point of value is materially less than before the accident happened. Then it was worth about X2.5. Its value now, tested by all the tests that can be applied, is only £ 9. The defendant's solictor made the suggestion that the horse shonld be made available for trial. His Honour Was I to try it? (Laughter.) Mr Williams I should not like to see your honour attempt it. (More laughter.) The plaintiff was called, and said that on the afternoon referred to, he was proceeding to Tierson sale. He anived at Tierson about two o'clock, and just the other side of the hamlet, he noticed a motor car coming in his direction. Plaintiff said that as soon as the horse saw the car he bacame restive, and he at once signalled to the driver of the car to stop. The driver did not pull up until he was five yards from the horse's head, and then the engines were not stopped. The horse was then on the ground, and plaintiff himself was thrown from the trap. While he was struggling with the animal on the ground defendant enquired How long will you keep me here." Plaintiff retorted that had he (the defendant) stopped, the accident would not have happened, and to this the defendant made no reply. Plaintiff described the injuries to the horse, which was cut about on the fore feet, and the damage to the trap. Previously to the accident the horse would pass ordinary motor cars without trouble, and although it never liked the sun shining on the wind screen of the car, when he met those cars he passed without difficulty as soon as the driver slackened his speed. Now the horse appeared to be really mad when it meets a motor car, a traction engine, or any engine in motion, and plunges and rears in all directions. Even when a car is standing the horse gives much trouble. Before the accident plaintiff was offered Y,25 for it, but since the highest offer he had received was £ ">. Cross-examined plaintiff said the inj ury to the horse in respect of which he claimed was for nervous injury. When he attempted to sell the horse at a fair after the accident he was asked if it would pass all road traffic, and he was obliged to reply in the negative. Describing the accident, plaintiff said that although the car was stopped it was so near that the horse, while struggling on the ground, almost knocked its head against the car. Prior to the accident the horse never showed signs of nervousness so long as a motor car eased up. Dr. Wilson next gave evidence. The Doctor appeared with his arm in a sling, the result, he said, of running over a dog in Breconshire. Continuing the Doctor re- ferred to the difficulty of passing the plaintiff's horse recently, and on one occasion he noticed the animal was shivering. George Davies, Johnston Mill, said he was in Lewis's trap when the accident occurred, and he was precipitated to the ground. The motor car did not stop until close to the horse's head. Gordon Rogers, in the employ of Mr Reynish, builder, said that he was going behind the plaintiff in a cart. He saw him raise his arm, but the driver of the motor car took no notice. The witness bad been out with the horse both before and after the accident. The animal was now very restive whereas previously it was quiet and useful. The next witness was Mr Harry Anthony, veterinary surgeon, Narberth, who said that he knew of a similar case in which a horse fell down on the approach of a motor car. Ever since then it would not pass motor cars at all. Evidence was also given by Frederick Havard of City road, in partnership with the plaintiff, who said that before the Tierson accident they never had trouble with the horse. George Christmas, of the Rising Sun, valued the horse before the accident at from X23 to £ 2S. Mr Williams What in your opinion is the value of it now r Witness: I would not take it as a gift to work in thoroughfares. It might be of some use on a farm. W. H. Thomas, haulier, Haverfordwest, said he offered £ 25 for the horse before the accident, and afterwards ollered the plaintiff D). For the defence, Arthur Thomas, motor car driver for nino years, said he had paced the road at the scene of the accident. Between the two bends of the road there were 180 pacec. Witness was driving the car, and had come about 50 paces round the bend when he saw the cart. He saw plaintiff hold up his hand with the whip when about 110 paces off. He pulled up the car ;jl) paces from the horse. The road was very greasy, and when the horse backed the cart into the hedge he slipped and fell. The animal got up and fell again. Then the plaintiff got out and went to its head. Witness had pulled up before the horse fell, and as soon as it became excited. He did not stop the engines because he did not wish to lose control of the car, and the horse was led past the car whilst it was stationary. Cross-examined, witness denied that any conversation took place between him and the plaintiff. He did uot know at first whether plaintiff meant to signal to him or not as he had both whip and reins in his hand. He had baen convicted at the police court for not stopping the car. Mr Jtin Rees, veterinary inspector, Carmarthen, saii that from the evidence he had come to the conclusion that the horse must always have been a nervous animal. His Honour, in giving judgment, said that the case presented some curious features. He had come to the conclusion that the horse was not a very steady one and that the accident was not entirely due to the sun shining on the wind screen of the cor. At the same time it seemed to him that the plaintiff had a right to drive the horse, but, of course, at his own risk. As regarded the driver, his Honour held that he had acted with un- reason ableuess, and held that negligence bad been proved. He gave judgment for the plaintiff for XIO. NEYLAND COMPENSATION REDUCTION. On behalf of Frederick Lloyd Hall, postmaster and farmer, High Street, Neyland, an application was made by Mr Robinson Smith, Swansea, for a disallowance or reduction of a compensation payment of 10s a week made to James Davies, labourer, Nevland. Mr W. J. Jones, solicitor, was for the respondent. For the applicant there were called Dr. Davies of the Observatory, Milford Haven, and Dr. Cameron of Swansea. Both gentlemen expressed the opinion that light work, which would exercise the muscles, would do the respondent good. He was free from disease of any kind, and was able to do light work. The respondent said he was 65 years of age, and still suffered pain in his right arm, although he was able to do light work in the garden. At the time of the accident he was engaged by Mr Hall at XI a week, but at that time he was in receipt of 12s a week pension from the Dock- yard. He received the pension still. His Honour remarked that 22s a week were very good wages for a man with nothing to do. Dr. Tolputt, Neylaud, said he did not consider Davies's condition any better now than it was 12 months ago, when the case originally came before the court. Dr. Wilson, Haverfordwest, also gave evidence on behalf of Davies who, he said, was still suffering from the results of a severe accident. Dr. Wilson added that if Davies were sent away for treatment—say to Sandow— he would soon recover. He should be pleased to send him away if the applicant would pay expenses. He could not discover any paralysis in the arm—only rigidity. His Honour said that Davies had admitted that he could do light work, and he reduced the compensation allowance to Gs a week. MILFORD COMPENSATION CLAIM, Harry Woolson, seaman, claimed compensation from Mr Jamee Thomas, Milford Haven, owner of the steam trawler u Victoria for the loss of two fingers in his left  tr ^B Williams appeared for the claimant, and !?dMAV r R. T. P. W^ilnli-ams represented the respondent. Mr A. B. Williams said that as the result of an accident he met with on June 22 last the applicant, who was employed on a steam trawler, lost two fingers of his left hand. He received compensation from the respondent down to the Kith of December, on which date his allow- ance was stopped. The Applicant in the box stated that on the advice of the owners he consulted Dr. W. S. Griffith, who told him that he was fit for work. He had received no compensa- tion since December 19. As the result of the accident he found great difficulty in following his work. He was always in great pain. The skipper of the trawler he was engaged on complained that he was too slow. Relying to Mr R. T. P. Williams the applicant denied that he was discharged at Oporto. Were you not discharged for misconduct ?-No. If I offer you a position as third hand will you take it ? —I can't do the work, sir. Ultimately by the direction of the Judge, the applicant through his solicitor consented to accept the offer. CAPTAIN BARHAM SCED. John Waltel- F. Bogy, Clive Road, Fishguard, engine cleaner, sued Captain F. R. Barham, Trecwn, Letterston, for ;CC, Is, balance of wages due. Mr W. Evans Fish- guard, was for the plaintiff, and Mr W. J. Vaughan for the defendant. Plaintiff told the court that he was engaged in 1905 by the defendant at 3s 61 a week. Afterwards his wages were raised to 5s a week. The sum of £ 2 had been paid on account. He was engaged he added, to assist the carpenters and masons about the house, and to act as messenger. In cross-examination by Mr Vaughan, plaintiff said the arrangement with Captain Barham was made by his mother, but he was not apprenticed to the Estate carpenter. Mrs Bogy, the plaintiff's mother, said she declined to allow her son to be apprenticed to the carpenter at 6d a week. She had been paid X2 on account. After further evidence had been given His Honour in- timated that he was unable to sit any longer that day' and he adjourned the case until the next court. Several cases which had been set down for hearing were not reached..

Read it in Her School Books." A SISTER'S HEROISM. The daughter of Mr John Ilier, Freystrop, who sucked the poison from the lips of her baby sister, aged two years, after the child had been bitten by an adder, is a bright and intelligent girl of fifteen years, named Elizabeth Mary Hier. Interviewed last week-end, the little heroine, in answer to a questiou as to how she knew how to act, said" I had read in my school books the right thing to do." Well, it was a brave and sensible thing to do," remarked the Pressman. It was my sister, sir," the girl said simply. Told that she had saved her little sister a great deal of suffering, if not her life, the girl smiled contentedly, and drew the little one to her with a caressing motion. The child, Minnie Ann, is two years old, aud only a slight swelling remains to show that she had been bitten.

A Pembrokeshire Centenarian. DEATH OF MISS EVANS, LITTLE HAVEN. I LIVED IN THE REIGN OF FIVE SOVEREIGNS. On Saturday week there passed away at Little Haven, a centenarian in the person of Miss Jeanette Eliza Evans. Born in 1810, before the days of railways, Miss Evans had lived in the reign of five sovereigns. Of American extraction, but also closely allied to an old Pembrokeshire family, Miss Evans, after the usual allotted span, settled down with her nieces, the Miss Bowen, of Little Haven. Prior to this, she led a useful and busy life, chiefly taken up in educational matters, and for many years she was Principal of a high-class Ladies School at Harrogate. After settling :at Little Haven, she assisted the Miss Bowen in their well known charitable work amon" the poor in the district, and it was by the efforts of°Miss Evans that the Walton Parish Schools were kept going under the great difficulties with which village schools had to cope some years ago. Miss Evans out-lived her two nieces, and attained the great age of 99 years, retaining her mental powers almost to the last. At the time when the great question of the abolition of slavery stirred American life to its depths, her brother, a wealthy merchant, saved the State of Maryland from commercial ruin. Her father was the first missionary to set foot in Newfoundland, and her nephew, John Bowen, was one of the pioneer bishops of the colony of Sierra Leone. Miss Evans was held in great esteem and respect by all who knew her, and the simple funeral, attended by the little band of reverent villagers and school children, was a fitting end to her life among them. The chief mourners were Mr Bowen Cooke of Crewe, and Mrs H. S. Bowen of Little Haven, and among those present were Mr and Mrs Howell Walters, Mrs Walker Rev. E. and Mrs Richardson, Mr William Harvey Mr T. Baker, etc. The service, which was choral was conducted by the Rev. H. Walker, and the fun23 oTS,:1°°'in good taste by ? •r°ta> Davies of Little Haven.
