MILFORD HAVEN SESSIONS.
MILFORD HAVEN SESSIONS. FARMER AND HIS MILK. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A SAILOR. The Itilford Haven Sessioas were held on Wed- nesday before Col, W. R. Robert3 (chairman), Mr J. B. Gaskell and Mr G. H. D. Birt. MILK VENDOR SU-VI HONED. Tobias Devouald, milk vendor, Itayston Hall, was fummoned for selling milk deficient in butter fat. Mr H. D. Williams, Haverfordwest, defended. Inspector Evans said that on the morning of the 2nd of last month he purchased a pint of milk from defendant's son in Charles Street. A portion of the milk was sent away for analysis, and a certificate had been received stating that the sample was eight per cent. deficient in butter fat. Mr Williams Have you had much experience in taking saraples 'Yes. Taking the average is not this rather better than usual—not so much deficient in batter fat ;-1 can- not say that. The last sample was six per cent. deficient. But this is rather less thm the avera.-e--We have certainly had a greater deficiency. Mr Williams said the certificate showed there was only a trifling deficiency. It was laid down by the Board of Agriculture regulations that there must be 3 per cent. of milk or butter fat, and this was only slightly below it. Trie milk went straight from the cow into the can, and was not interfered with in any way. Mr Devonald went into the box and swore that he was in the shed when the cows were milked, and nothing whatever was added to the milk. He fed his cows well, and he couU not account for the deficiency in butter fat. He had 11 cows, and re- ceived from them about 16 gallons, 11 of which went out for sale. James Devonald, the son, corroborated. The magistrates retired, and after an absence of about quarter of au hour the Chairman announced hat they would adjourn their decision for six weeks. "USED TO TAKE ME LONGER." Mary Jane Waters, Gellyswick, was summoned for being drunk and disorderly. P.S. Treharne said that at 1.1(5 p.m. on the 24th ult. he found the defendant drunk and staggering about in Waterloo Road. Fined 5s and costs Hubert Bevans was summoned for a like offence. P.C. Flynn said that on the evening of February 24th he found defendant drunk and disorderly in Charles Street. He was making use of very bad language. Defendant denied the charge. J. Bevans, the father, said his son came home on the night in question as sober as he was at that moment. Halt' au hour before he came home he was with his brother in the Mission, and was sober then; "aud," added witness amid laughter, "you can't get drunk iu half an hour I know it used to take me longer. It is a case of give a dog a bad name. The Clerk But he has not got a bad name. Fined -5s, no costs. ALLEGED THEFT OF COAL. James Etheridge, fisherman, Hakin, failed to appear to answer a charge of stealing 121bs. of coal, the property of the Milford Docks Company. Inspector Evam said the man had goue to sea, and he asked for a warrant, which he would execute as soon as he came ashore. It was decided to issue the warrant. SENT TO PRISON. ames Patterson, of Dublin, described as a sea- man, was charged with begging, and also with damaging a blanket while he was in the police cells. He was sent to gaol for 14 days' hard labour. SAILOR CilARGED WITH THEFT. Arthur John Picott, a stoker on H.M.S. Albion, charged Arthur Edward Fairbrass, a stoker on the same ship, with stealing a postal order of the value of 17s: and Elizabeth Darston, of Albion Street, was charged with receiving the same. Mr H. D. Williams prosecuted. Arthur Picott, stoker on H.M.S. Albion, said on he 23rd Doc.^mber last he handed three letters to defendant, a stoker on the same ship, to post One letter contained a postal order for 17s, and the other two Christmas cards. He retained the counterfoil which he filled in in his wife's name, but he put no name on the order. He saw the defendant again the same evening and asked him if he had posted his letters, and he replied that he had done so as soon as he got to shore. On 31st December, receiving certain information, he again asked defendant if he posted the letters, and he replied that he had done so. The leading stoker and another person were once more present when he asked defendant. Defendant Fairbrass: When I came back did I not tell you the letter was posted soon after I got ashore"-)Coii said you posted it with your own hand as soon as you got ashore. I never did. I know nothing about it. I en- trusted the letter to this young woman to post and as far as I know it had been posted. The Clerk Did you say you had given the letter to Darston to post r—No, it was found out later. He added that from what he knew of her father's character and her own hi expected it had been posted. When he gave her the letter he did not know there was a postal order in it. Prosecutor You knew there was money in the letter r—I did not. Defendant Did I not advise you to go to the post office when you said the letter had not come to hand ;-Ko, sir. Gladys Thomas, 31, Dartmouth Street, said on Boxing Day she went with Darston to the post office and Darston stopped outside while she went in to cash an order. It could not be cashed then and the following day she went in again, the defendant with her. She signed the order, and gave defendant the money. Afterwards she went with her to Mr L'mgharne and defendant bought a hat for herself. Defendant had never said from whom the postal order had come. T. J. Challinder, engaged at the Milford post office, said he was engaged to make inquiries as to the loss of this postal order, and in the course of those inquiries he saw the defendant Darston. She said she picked up the postal order about two duors away on the evening of the 22nd December. He asked her if she could produce the envelope, but she said she burnt it because it was covered with mud. He produced the postal order. Leading stoker John Nicholson on H.M.S. Albion, said on 31st December, when the prosecutor received a telegram from his wife that she had not received the letter the defendant was there and he turned round and said "Well, I posted it with my own hand." Defendant: That is a lie. I never said that. Sidney Sawyer, stoker on H M.S. Albion, said he was present on December 23rd when Picott asked defendant if he had posted the letter. Defendant said I posted the letter as soon as I got ashore." The female defendant pleaded guilty, but had nothing to add. The male defendant pleaded not guilty and elec- ted to give evidence on oath. The defendant Fairbrass, was sworn and said he came ashore at 4 p m, on December 23rd, landing on the Hakin side. When he got to Victor'a Bridge he found the people were moving from the old Toll- house, and as the husband (Mr Jones) was at tea he stopped to help. It was suggested a little later as someone was going up the street they would post the letters for him and he handed the letters over to the charge of the defendant Darston, giving her 3d for the postage. He heard nothing more about the matter until prosecutor came back from his Christ- mas leave, when he said his wife had never received the letter with the postal order. He advised prose- cutor to go ashore and make inquiries at the post office. He heard nothing more of the matter until his leave wns stopped on February 7th. When he had given the letter to Darston to post he thought bhe was doing him a favour. In cross-examinatiou, the defendant said that when he stayed to help them at the Toll-house he put the letter down, he believed, on the dresser, to be out of the way of the children, but they were in the charge of the defendant Darston. He believed Mrs Jones was present at the time. He never said he posted the letter with his own hands. The prosecutor was trying to do him in because he was leaving the service. The Clerk: Have you had a quarrel r— We have never been the best of friends. Did you know the letter had money in it I'—No. But you knew it was to his wife ?—It might have been an ordinary letter for all I knew. First Lieut. Christopher Scriven volunteered to give evidence in the interests of justice. He said that when the matter was under investigation the accused never said he posted the letter with his own hand. What he said was I posted it." The Clerk Did Picott say that he thought defen- dant knew nothing about it ?-ThtÜ was understood, but I cannot swear th it the words were used. The Clerk: Never mind what was understood; did you hear him make the statement :Not in those words. Mr Birt: Picott says in his evidence that the accused said in your presence he posted the letter with his own hands. Did he say that or not ?—No, sir, he did not. Was he drunk r—Not at all. Prosecutor, in reply to the bench, said none of the three letters he gave prisoner had been received. The bench dismissed the case against Fairbrass and Elizabeth Darston was bound over to come up for judgment if called upcn.

Mrs Higgoa said she saw a number of Workho, children under school age having thfiir dinner, and in order to reach the table they were obliged to kneel on a hard form with perfect upright back. There were tiny tots among them aud it was very bad economy, because if thoy hurt their spiues it would affect them in after life. She mentioned the matter to the Matron, who suggested the provision of a dozou chairs for the children's special use. The Chairman agreed that it would be advisable to purchase the chairs and suggested it should be referred to the House Committee. Mrs Higgou It made ma feel very miserable when I saw the manner in which the children were having their meals. The House Committee may not be meeting for some time, and Mrs Hall, the matron, said she would be very glad if I would bring the matter up to-day. On the motion of Mr Howell Walters it was decided to purchase a dozen chairs for the children.
I ' : ! ! Pembroke Council…
Pembroke Council Epithets. MEMBER CALLED "AN IMBECILE." There was a very stormy scene at a meeting of the Pembroke Town Cjuncil last week, the Mayor (Mr W. Robinson) in the chair. At a recent meeting of the Pembroke Education Committee Miss E Sinned, daughter of Councillor Sinnett, was appointed head- mistress of the new girls' school at Pembroke by seven votes to six. The report of the committee now came up for confirmation. Councillor John Rogers said he rose to protest against the appointment because, he alleged, Councillor Sinnett had voted for his own daughter. The Mayor You cannot bring this up now. Councillor Rogers What Do you mean to say, man, that I have no right to criticise the action of the Educa- tion Committee ? What is the matter with you that you are always trying to sit on mo ? Alderman Smith Oh, ye3, he has, Mr Mayor. Councillor Rogers Yes, and I have a public daiy to do, and am going to d) it. I fiud that Mr Sinnett carried his daughter in by his own vote. The clerk said it was legal, but I do not think it wan. Why, man, there is even honour among thieve3. (Laughter.) There was another young woman who was brought down here to be inter- viewed. Where was she ? She had no chance. This was all cut and dried. (" Oh, oh. ") Yes, if you do this thing I will make a hot bed for this Council. I have had enough of this jobbery and bodgery, and I have a good mind to hand in my resignation now. You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours," that s what it is. Alderman Lawrence I would have done tha same as } Mr Sinnett. Mr Ogleby I say it was not etiquette for Mr Sinnett to vote for his own daughter. When he went to the electorate be Slid he had no axe to gtind, and now he has ground one. Councillor Lloyd I thought something of the Pembroke members, but I am going to take a strong stand against the remarks of that imbecile. Councillor W. Morris Withdraw Councillor Lloyd Well, I will say he is nearly one. Councillor Morris Mr Mayor, you allow the Pembroke Dock members a lot of latitude. Mr W. Lloyd: Do you know what latitude means ? Cm you spell it, man ? After a lot more heated discussion <C juncillor Sinnett said his daughter required no sticking up for, and what better right had a man than to support his own daughter ? Who knew her better than he did ? The matter dropped after the most stormy scene that had ever been witnessed in the Pembroke Town Hall.
Pembrokeshire Officer Killed.I
Pembrokeshire Officer Killed. CAPT. ALLEN MEETS WITH II AVIATION ACCIDENT. Cipt. C. H. W. Allen, a member of the well-known Pembrokeshire family of Allen, was killed on Wednesday last as the result of an aviation accident on Salisbury Plain. With Capt. Allen was Lieut. Burroughs of the Wiltshire Regiment, who shared his fate. Both Captain Allen and Lieutenant Burroughs were killed on the spot. A machinery defect suddenly developed, for the biplane fell from a considerable height. The accident occurred over Figneldean Down, Salis- bury Plain. Cap'ain Allen left the new flying sheds at half-past 9, taking Lieut. Burroughs with him as a passenger. They had been in air about five minutes when the rudder of tho machine snapped and the aero- plane came to the ground from a height of 300 feet. The fore part of the machine was completely smashed, and the eugine was embedded in the ground. Captain Allen was thrown from the pilot's seat and struck the ground about five yards from the machine. Lieut. Burroughs was picked up from amongst the wreckage. Both men were odead. Their bodies were removed to Bulford Camp mortuary for the inqaest. I BIOGRAPHICAL DETAILS. I Captain Clement Robert Wedgwood Allen belonged to a famous old Pembrokeshire family, the eldest branch of which has been seated for generations at Cresselly Court. He was the eldest son of Mr Clement Francis Romilly Allen, of Southfields, Woodchester, Stroud, by the daughter of the Rev. Robert Wedgwood, rector of Dumbleton, Gloucester. Deceased was a grandson of the late Mr Lancelot Baugh A.llen, of Cilrhiw, Pembroke- shire, and a nephew of the late R3v. E. E. Allen, rector of Porthkerry and canon of Llandaff. The deceased officer, who was born on May 18th, ISiS, was educated at Marlborough College, and subsequently entered the Army, joining the 2ad Battalion (41st) the Welsh Regiment as second-lieutenant in May, 1898, and was promoted lieutenant in February, 1900, and captain in May, 1901. During hi3 period as lieutenant the deceased oflicer was for two or three years stationed at the Cardiff depot. He saw service with his battalion in India, and was from 1006 to 1911 adjutant to an Indian Volunteer Corps. In 1912 the deceased joinel the Royal Flying Corps, being the first officer in the Welsh to take this step, and since that time had been assiduously practising the art of aviation on Salisbury Plain. The deceased was an enthusiastic hunter of big gann, a sport he had followed with considerable success in India, and he was also an expert at bobsleighing, and in the latter sport he had mad- quite a nam3 for himself in the Swiss Alps. CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT. A verdict of Accidental death was returned at the inquest at Bulford Military Hospital, Salisbury Plain, on Friday. Major Brook Popham, commmdant of tho 3rd Squadron Royal Flying Corps, said he gave orders that Captain Allen should take up Lieutenant Burroughs for instruc- tional flight in the machine No. 204, to which Lieutenant Burroughs had been appointed and which he wai learning to fly. After the accident witness examined tha wreckage, and he found the cause of the disaster was the breaking away of the rudder. The machine was of old deeign, but in his opinion it was thoroughly gooJ, and he looked upon this and another similar machine as two of the beat aeroplanes in the wind that he had flown. The machine was thoroughly overhauled and repaired at the aircraft factory last September. Probably very little of the original structure was left in it, and he could not find anything in the log-book to show any repairs to the rudder. The Foreman of the Jury I do not think it fair to call it that. Proceeding, witness stated that the rudder post had fractured near the point whsre it was welded to the rudder frame and he found the tube (the rudder post) was far too tight a section to stand the straiu to which it would be subjected during the flight. Witness added there were three possible causes as to how that had happened: Firstly, the design of the machine might have boen wrong and the strength mis- calculated secoudly, the workmen who did the job might through ignorance or cirelesjuess have put in too weak a tube, and, thirdly, the rudder post might have been changed after reconstruction and after it was handed over to witness's squadron. In any of these three cases there would b3 criminal negligence on the part of the officials concerned. The Coroner: That is for the jury to decide.

WANTED, BUTTERMAKERS. British Butter is unquestionably better than foreign, yet the latter is often bought in preference. This is tin injustice both to the British producer anrl the buyer. It is an injury which could easily bo avoided. The average British liousewue believe, that butter presenting a rich golden uniform colour is the ideal. The foreign producer meets her wish. and all his butter has the rich golden colour which sells. A perfectly afe means is provided whereby the British mater can impart to hisbutier jnst that golden colouring which will commend it to the eye, ns decidedly as its quality will commend it to the palate. The remedy is the "Silver Churn butter colour, manu- factured by Oldfield, Pattinson, and Co.. of New Bridge Street, Manchester, the successful survivor ot the severest teats at the princiral shows, where it has gained First Class awards for 5 years. K.[uaily satisfactory is the high praise it has won in the numerous dairies where it is regularly used. These competent approvals are due to the absence of any unevenncss or muddiness in the colouring and to the fact that the use of ,silver Churn" dees not affect the buttermilk. The butter it;elf is not injured in the process; it is improved. Us delicate creamy tiavour is enhanced.

I TWO YEAR'S LITIGATION. I I SIR THOMAS MEYRICK'S ACTION. I On Wednesday in the Court of Appeal, consieting of the Lord Chief Justice and Lords Justices Swinfen Eady and Phillimore, the case of Spencers, Ltd., and Meyrick came on for hearing. Plaintiffs, the appellants, are a firm of engineers and lighting contractors at Stratford- on-Avon, and the defendant and respondent is Sir Thomas Charlton Meyrick, of Bargeston House, Pembroke, and the appeal was from a decision of a divisional court, after litigation which has been before the Courts for two years, regarding a system of petrol I lighting for Sir Thomas's Shropshire seat. Their Lord- ships on Wednesday cime to the conclusion that the divisional court decision must be set aside, and an order of the official referee restored. The appeal was allowed with costs. Lord Justice Swinfen Eady, in the course of his judgment, expressed his disapproval that there should II have been so much lititioll over a comparatively small amvuut iu dispute
LOCAL FOOTBALL.
LOCAL FOOTBALL. PEMBROKESHIRE LEAGUE. PEMBROKE DOCK UNITED 1 v. MILFORD TOWN 2. ROBINS ONCE MORE CHAMPIONS. We predicted some time back that the two remaining away matches which Milford Town had to play on the Barrack Hill would be such as to cause the Robins som,3 anxiety especially if the weather was in any way bad. The first of these games came off on Saturday aud tha prediction was verified to the letter. It was a very wet morning and the prospects of a match beiag played at all looked doubtful up till 2 o'clock when the rain cleared and the Milford players decided to make the journey. It was a further cause for anxiety that Jack Smith was unable to play. This meiut that Jeffries (the handy man) had to fall back and Leslie Evans was brought into the forward line. Hancock was 1-tte arriving so that Milford had to start with ten men. A spile was blowing but a large crowd was attracted to the hill for there were no less than three league matches to be decided on this exposed space, a place by the way totally unfit for decent football. Most of the spectators elected to witness the Robins' performance. Milford had what benefit was to be derived from hav- ing the strong wind in their favour to start with, but in the end it proved to be more of a hindrance than a help, for the ball was for the greater part out of play. The United concentrated on defence chiefly, even the forwards falling back and packing the goal in the hope of keeping their formidable opponents oat. Lloyd, their right half, re-appeared after his suspension and played a fine game. At times the game became rough, chiefly through Teddie Reynolds, the ex Milford reservist, who seemed to have made a set on Jeffiies. After a time the visitors captain wisely transferred the latter to the opposite wing. The first half was a tale of two penalties, both of which were turned to account. The first came to Milford for hands in the goalmouth and Teddie Walters gave Williams no chince. Almost straight from the centre kick the United got into Miiford's territory, and Hancock handling, they too were awarded a penalty, and Batten being beaten the teams were level, a position maintained until the interval. With the wiad the United were expected to press and they did so, but the Robins also had something to say and were able to open out their game and utilise their speed with better effect against the breeze than with it. The result was an exciting 45 minutes in which the fortunes of each team fluctuated greatly and from the spectators' standpoint made the game interesting. Milford had their previous record at stake and were not going to part with it without a struggle. The defence held out well and was more than a match for the home forwards. Following a dangerous attack Milford were awarded another penally for hands but this time Williams saved Teddie Walters's well directed shot in fine style. And so the game waged fast until the end- three minutes from time, Ned Walters careered along in his unbeatable style and worked right in to score the winning goal and with it, the championship for his side. With but seconds to go the United made a last despairing effort but it failed and the Robins vindicated their claim to the League honours by the odd goal in three. Teams Pembroke Duck United. Williams; Lloyd and Shanahan Leighton, Thomas, Holt; Reynolds, John, Graham, Gwyther and Orsman. Milford Town.—Batten; B Davies and Jeffries Hancock, Stevens and Bloskwell; Ned and Teddie Walters, Warr, Evans and M Davies. Referee Petty Officer Crapnell. R.G. ARTILLERY, 4; v. PEMBROKE DOCK, 1. The Docks only fielded eight men against the stalwart gunners on the Barrack Hill, and as a natural consequence were severely handicappsd. Under the circumstances they did well to keep the score down so well. They were without Berry, Griffi'hs, J Lewis and Spicer, and these men are the backbone of the team. S C. PATRICKS, 1; v. BORDER REGIMENT, 0. This result came as a staggerer to everyone. The previous week the Regiment had simply romped round the Shamrocks at Llanion Barracks and the result of this return game only goes to prove that football is the most uncertaiu of games, and it also proves that a first-class team is reduced to the level of a mediocre side ou the Barrack Hill, especially when the conditions were those prevailing on Saturday. As a matter of fact the soldiers were at full strength whilst St. Patricks had a couple of novices playing and yet scored the only goal of the match. The Regiment were pressing most of the time but failed to adapt themselves to the circumstances, and could not control the ball sufficiently well to penetrate tha goal. It was a result hard to realise. H.M.S. GOLIATH 7, v. H.MS. CANOPUS 1 I These naval teams met at Marble Hall on Saturday in their last Pembrokeshire Leagua match. The Gollies were short of Effard and Penfold from the team which played against Milford last week, and they brought their regular goalkeeper, Ebden, into the forward line, Childs dropping back to centre half and Wager once more cime into the team at left back. The Canopus were, however, ih a worse plight for only nine of their men turned up and whatever advantage the strong wind gave them was nullified by their lack of full numbers. After Hucks had brought the ball down the Gollies got away on the right by nice pissing and Huggett got in a beautiful centre which sailsd into the goal, and the keeper in trying to save could only knock it through and thus give big opponents a lead. This was destined to be of short duration for almost straightaway the Cannies got down and Smith put in a long shot which Reed missed badly. The ball rolled on and Field thinking everything was so easy, instead of picking it up kicked at it, missed and— turned round to pick it out of the net. The scores remained level for a time and had the Cannies had a full complement they might possibly have secured a lead for Reed and Wager were nothing like so safe as usual. Still the Canopus men kicked wildly with very little idea of the goal location. Foster got moving nicely and beat everything, and then centred so perfectly that Ebden could not fail to score, and with this margin the Gollies crossed over at half-time. There was not much hope of the Cannies troubling the top end much next half, but it is to their credit that they defended so well that the Gollies could uot find an open- ing. The Canopus men did not appear to have the intelligence to place their opponents offade as they might easily have done with only one back, but in spite of this they managed to get into way of:the ball and dispossess their opponents before they could shoot. Twenty minutes of the last half had actually spent itself before the Gollies could find the net but at length Brown got there and then the rest was easy for goals followed like a running stream; Reed from a free kick, Williams, Roberts, and Foster all doing the trick, so that in the end the Fleet champions recorded another easy win and thus wound up thsir leaguo fixtures as they began—in good style. H.M.S. OCEAN v. NARBERTH. Narberth made the journey to Milford for this match in motor cus, but for som unexplained reason the Ocean mea did not turn up. This was hard lioes on Narberth, but they will get the points and their expenses. I MILFORD AND DISTRICT JUNIOR LEAGUE. STARS v. H.M.S. TERRIBLE. This match was played on the Stars ground, Priory Road, before a good attendance. The Stars won the toss and kicking up the slope with a strong wind in their favour they were quickly swarming round the Ternble's goal and the Sailor's goalie brought off some good saves. After five minutes play, A Davies opened the scoring with a well judged shot. The Stars continued to press, the Sailors being all at sea in controlling the ball with such a strong wind. On the other hand the Stars had splendid control of the ball and repeatedly brought off some good passing movements. Morse, from a centre, got in a nice shot which gave the goalie no chance. Shortly after Davies added another. The Sailors defence was rather shaky, and taking advantage of a miskick by the backs Picton scored No. 4. From a corner kick the ball went in off the visitors' backs. The Sailors goalie was kept busy and saved shots from all directions, but was beaten by a penalty taken by Davies. Half-time Stars 6 Terrible 0. The second half was more evenly contested. The Sailors, with the wind in their favour, played up well for a time, but Smith and Mills did not let them get too close in. The Stars' combination gradually began to tell and Davies tested the goalie, who conceded a corner. A good centre by Lears went right across the goal but the forwards were not able to get up in time. In a mix up near the goal mouth the visitors' back mis-kicked through his own goal. The Sailors had a turn ard pressed for a time but their shots went wide. Broadhead tried hard to get through but was not very well sup- ported. Another penalty was awarded the Stars but the goalie saved. The Sailors made a final burst and tested King who cleared his lines. After splendid passing from wing to wing A King added the last goal and the Stars ran out wiuners by 8-0. Final: Stars, tj; Terrible, 0. The Sailors are proving themselves good sportsmen and a defeat does not make them the least downhearted. They were trim all tirough. The goalie deserves special mention for bringing off some grand saves. Broadhead and the outside left tried hard to score but the Stars' defence was too sound. The Stars were all on top form and have evidently found their shooting boots again. What a pity they could not have secured a few points in their earlier matches in this league. That would have put them in the running for the cup. Their supporters are sticking to them and a good crowd turned up to witness the match in spite of the cold winds. The Stars play Pembroke Dock United away next Saturday. FOOTBALL NOTES. I Hail to the Pembrokeshire League Champions! — Milford Town. The Robins made sure of the honour on Saturday by taking those two points from the United on the Barrack Hill. It is some years since last they won this particular championship, for being engaged in the South Wales League, then the Swansea and District League, they delegated the Pembrokeshire Competition to the Reserves. This year owing to the singular boycott" of the Swansea League the Robins were compelled to fall back on local competitions with the old results-again on top. They have, however, not had an easy task, for the League has been greatly strengthened this season. The Robins's goal average is a remarkable one and proves that they are out of their class even yet. I will give the figures later. Perhaps the South Wales Soccer Association will now condescend to encourage the team and the game in the county and recognise the necessity for the formation of a West Wales League next year. 'Ware of the Barrack Hill! I warned the Robins, but what of the Border Regiment ? What a surprise their defeat by the Shamrocks was-it was the last thmg expected, and even if Milford had been defeated, they would have been safe after this. Poor old Docks, truly their glory has departed, for they could only muster eight on Saturday. The Golliod romped over the last lap in a cauter at Marble Hall against the plucky Cannies who have pro- vided a rare crop of goals for their neighbours and others too. They hope for a better team next year. But where were the Ocean ? Narberth came to meet them and found an empty fijld. An explanation for this must be forthcoming. It could not be the weather, for the other ships' teams were ashore. Once more Milford Stars treated H.M.S. Terrible to a lesson ic good scoring and repeated last week's total in the return Junior L[lue match. Again I say, keep your eyes on those Stars. Milford Fdarnots qualified for the Wiltshire Charity Cup final by beating Pembroke 3-0 at Hakin. They did so after a good display and I wish them luck in their final tussle with the young Shamrocks. Henceforward to the 28th inst. all interest will be in Sir Owen Philippe's Cup final between the Border Regt. and Milford Town. A special train will be run to Ney- land for the final. And don't forget the match of the season on April 1th -Swausea Town v. Milford Town. OLD ATHLETE.
Milford Boys in Trouble.
Milford Boys in Trouble. MALICIOUS DAMAGE AND TRESPASSING. At Milford Petty Sessions on Wednesday a number of boys were convicted for trespassing on the Docks and for doing malicious damage to the Docks Company's property. At the instance of Dock P.S. Heber Evans, William and Harold Jones, Dartmouth Gardens, were charged with trespass. Mr Joues, the father, said his boys had been told over aud over again not to go on the docks, and he wished the Dock Sergeant would give them a good thrashing when he found them there it would do more good than summoning them. A fine of 2s 61 was imposed in each case. Lawrence Sturley, Garfield Allen, Emlin Allen, Reggie Gibbs and Edward Foster, all of Pill Lane, were sum- moned for a like offence. Dock Constable John said about 6.15 p.m. on the 23rd of last month he was on duty near the ice factory, when he saw five boys cross the Estate line into the old dock- yard, and from there to the cliffs. They were carrying two bags. Three of the boys got to the top of the cliff and fastened a rope to one of the bags. He examined the bags and found them to contain scrap iron. Col. Roberts pointed out that the boys were only charged with trespassing. Lawrence Sturley said he was sent to the beach to pick up sticks. The father said the boy was sent to pick up sticks on the beach, and Thomas, of the old dockyard, gave the bnys some bags in which to pick up hoop iron on the beach. P.C. John said there was no hoop iron in the bags, but iron platos, bolts, nuts, etc. Col. Roberts said the boys ought not to be sent on to the docks. They would each be fined 531 costs remitted, and the fines would come out of the pockets of the parents. James Benjamin Hannoford, Brook Avenue Thomas George Hewitt, Greville Road; Wm. Frederick Hewitt, Greville Road Alfred M. Celland, Greville Road; John Harold Phillips, Greville Road John William Cooper, Brooke Avenue Wm. John Shirley, Warwick Road, were:summoned for doing malicious damage to cerfa"n windows, the property of the Milford Docks Company. Djck Sergt. Heber Evans said from inquiries made he went to one of the schools, where he found the defendants who admitted that they had broken windows in the smoke house. There had been 28 panes of glass broken, of the value of 35s. Shirley admitted that he broke six. Eich defendant was ordered to pay 5s for the damage, and Is fine, Col. Roberts remarking that it was the duty of the parents to keep these boys off the Docks. The Dock officials and the bench were determined to put this sort of thing down, and a heavier fine would be imposed if these boys came up again. It would be an expensive matter for the parents if they did not keep their children off the Dojks. Later the fine against Shirley was remitted.
