An eye capable of viewing 10,000 miles an hour would require 55 years to see all the sur- face of the sun. In France there 15,319 women employed as gatekeepers at the railway crossings. They get very small pay, but are provided with houses. Every year a layer of the entire sea four- teen feet thick is taken up into the clouds. The winds bear their burden to the land, and the water come down in rain. The night population of the City is stated to be 27,000, and the day population 360,000. The City has a rateable value of nearly £ 5,000,000, and 110 fewer than 100,000 vehicles and 1,250,000 persons enter its area during each working day Painting on spiders' webs is done in Nor- way, and the pictures are framed like any other dl awin. The webs employed—which are of a remarkably dense weave—occur only in a few localities difficult of access, and the supply o fthem is very limited. Cape Town enjoys a certain distinction in respect of the height of its constables. The tallest is a giant 6ft. 8iin. in height. There are five men ranging from 6ft. 3in. to 6ft. 4in., three between 6ft. 2in. and 6ft. 3in., twelve from 6ft. lin. to 6ft. 2in., and seventeen between 6ft. and 6ft. lin. Belgium has four schools for the instruction of fichermen. The pupils are taught how to read weather charts, how to make the best use of the varying currents, what the bottom of the sea is like, how to make their own nets, how to manage a boat in a storm, how to use the latest inventions in the line of fishing apparatus, Ac. A remarkable skyrocket is manufactured by a pyrotechnist in Nagasaki, Japan. When this rocket explodes in the air there flies 3.way a large bird which resembles a homing pigeon in its movements. It is said that the secret of this inegenious production has been in the possession of the eldest child of the family for more than 400 years. In certain parts of Sweden, where the most absolute confidence is reposed in the honesty of the people, a very informal postal system is in vogue. As the mail steamer reaches a landing-place a man goes ashore with the letters, which he places in an unlocked box on the pier. and any passer-by who expects a I letter opens the box, turns over the letters, and selects his own, without being quesioned by any one. Lions-.as Inn Signs. In he Middle Ages the country houses of the nobility of England, when the owners were absent, were used as hotels for travellers. The family arms always hung in front of the house. and gave it a popular name among travellers, who called a lion gules" or "azure" simply "red" or "blue." As these I were intimations of good cheer and enter- I tainment, innkeepers adopted the idea. I

BIRMINGHAM CASES AT NEWPORT, Several Birmingham firms applied for com-I mittals at Newport County-court on Friday. This drew from his Honour Judge Owen the remark, I don't know why these Birming- ham people are allowed to issue summonses in this court. I wish they would do their work in Birmingham, and not give it to me to do." In one of the cases a man named Davies, carrying on business as a shoemaker at Crumlin, was held responsible for a debt contracted by his daughter, who is a dress- maker.—Debtor said he thought it was grossly unfair that he should be asked to pay this debt.—His Honour: I would grant you a new trial if I could. but these people have obtained judgment against you at Bir- mingham.—Debtor said he could only pay 5e. a month, and his Honour made an order accordingly, but said he would not allow costs.

PROTECTING THE POOR. I At Newport Borough Police-court on Friday II -?atauel Lee. a hawking greengrocer, of 31, Oakley-street, was fined 20s. for an unstamped weighing instrument which his wife was found using, and which was loz. out against I the purchaser. > Francis Edward Farley, a grocer and baker, of 188, Chepstow-road. was fined 21s. for selling a loaf of bread otherwise than by weight. The loaf bought for the inspector was 2oz. light. For a similar offence Elizabeth Tutton, of 31, Evans-street, was fined 7s. 6d. Charles J. Price, of 166. Durham-road, and John Robert Dowsell, 9. Thomas-street, were fined 7s. 6d. each for neglecting to carry a correct beam and scales in their bread cart.

BRIDGEND PUBLIC OFFICES. I The question of the proposed. new public offices was discussed at a special meeting of the Bridgend Council on Friday night, when it was unanimously decided to offer a site at the rear of the Town-hall to the county council for the erection of county-court and police-court buildings in exchange for the present police and county-court buildings and the rooms now oocupied by the county council in the Town-hall. The present police and county-court, buildings are inadequate, and the county council are seeking a site for the {•rection of new buildings, and it was con- sidered that this would be a fair offer and an advantage to both bodies. The proceed- ings were held in camera.

PROFESSIONAL GOLF TENBY MAN WINS THE WELSH CHAMPIONSHIP. Professional golfers engaged by Welsh clubs had an opportunity of proving their prowess and of improving their status in the world of golf by their performances in a contest for the Welsh championship at Radyr on Friday. With the single exception of Coilins, of Llandudno, all the leading pro- fessionals of the Principality competed, and the representative character of the event, together with the good form shown on the whole, and the admirable manner in which everything connected with the play "passed off," justifies the Radyr Club in feeling proud of having done very substantial good for golf locally. The money prizes were given by the "Western Mail," and Mr. George Riddel1, who is one of the keenest patrons of the game is entitled to the lion's share of the credit as the instigator of the meeting and as one who spared no effort to make it a success. One of the happiest possible results of the Welsh pro- fessionals' meeting is that they formed at the close of play, again at the suggestion of M'r. Riddell, a Welsh branch of the Profes- sional Golfers' Association, with Reuben Wakerley, the new Radyr Club professional, as the secretary. Friday's winner of the Welsh Championship was Day, the Tenby Club professional, who returned the very meritorious card of 161 for the two rounds of the course over 36 holes. His reward for that feat was a sum of ten guineas and the championship gold medal presented by the Radyr Club. The runners-up to Day wero Duncan, of Conway, and W. J. Leaver, of Harlech, who tied with a score of 164. Duncan, who is quite a young man, is a golfer of great promise. His driving in particular was accurate and of great length. He lost a couple of holes at least through sheer bad luck in his morning round, getting into diffi- cultie.s at Xo. 17, a-nd only holing in 7 His partner, Booth, of Jersey Marine, also retired on the second round, after playing much below his normal form. W. J. Leaver made his first round in 81, and his second In 83. Brace, who had the best morning card of 79, broke down completely in the afternoon, taking 92. This made his total 171. which placed him "out of the money." Willie Fernie, of Penarth, was in ill-health, and could only manage 178, which made him 1 down to his son, who finished with 177. Hutcheson. of Porthcawl, who took fourth prize with 167. would have been higher up the list but for his indifferent play through the greens. He Jras al.so pulling his drives. What was certainly the most remarkable achievement of the day was that of Humble, the Llandrindod professional, who holed in 2 with a mashie shot from the far side of the bunker at Xo. 9. Those twho retired were Johns. Arnold, Howe, Booth, Wakerley, and Chitty. The following were the competi- tors:— W. Fernie (Glamorgan) v. W. J. Leaver (Royal St. David's). S. G. Htrtcheson (Porthcawl) v. P. N. Leaver (Aberdovey). W. H. Booth (Swansea Bay) v. George Dun- can (Carnarvonshire). Arthur Day (Tenby) v. R. Wakerley (Radyr). W. Coombes (Aehburnham) v.

The match was played under medal rules, and the prizes were:-First, ten guineas; second, five guineas; third, three guineas; and fourth, one g-ninea. The assistants' prizes were won by C. Morris (first) and W. Brace (second). The results of the sweepstakes were as follow:—1st, J. H. Morgan; 2nd. Dr. Mitchell Stevens and H. Joscelyn (tie). An interesting foursoma was played in the afternoon between Captain Hughes Morgan and Yardon and Mr. Riddell and Braid. The result was a win for the latter couple by 1 up. The prizes were distributed among the suc- cessful professionals by Mr. Riddell. who con- gratulated the winners, and proposed a vote of thanks to the captain, committee, and hon. secretary of the Radyr Club for the excellent arrangements they had made. The success of the meeting, he added, would do a good deal to encourage the game of golf locally. He also remarked that the Profes- sional Golfers' Association were anxious to have a Welsh branch formed, and it was expected that the qualifying round for the "News of the World tournament would be played in Wales by the Welsh professionals, who would thus save travelling expenses. The Rev. W. E. Shaw formally acknowledged the vote of thanks on behalf of the officials of the club, and proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Riddell and Captain Hughes-Morgan, to whom, he said, they were indebted for the visit of Vardon, Taylor, Braid, and Thomson. They were also indebted to the "Western Mail" for their generosity in providing the presents. The professionals then assembled in front of the pavilion, and Mr. Riddell addressed them on the subject of forming a Welsh branch of the association. Immediately afterwards a meeting of the professionals was held, and the following twelve new members joined the Professional Golfers' Association:—Lloyd (Newport). Booth (Swansea). Fernie (Penarth), Hutcheson (Porthcawl), Day (Tenby), W. J. Leaver (Har- lech), Duncan (Conway), and Collins (Llan- dudno). A Welsh branch of the association was formed, with Wakerley as hon. secre- tar v. BRAID DENIES AN ALLEGED INTERVIEW. uraia was nigniy inaignf.ni with a state- ment attributed to him in a Cardiff contem- porary, in which he was stated to have found fault with the course. All I said," remarked Braid to one of onr representa- tivess, was that No. 7 was not quite wide enough, but I knew that it was a new hole and that they are going to widen it. As for saying the ground is too dry and hard. I never said anything of the kind. The fact of the matter is that the four of us who played yesterday were highly pleased with the course, and we expressed our surprise at the splendid con- dition into which it had been worked in so short a time. The only suggestion I made was that No. 7 hole should be widened. ThiR is a first-class course, and one which is bound to improve." Vardon bore out this statement. having heard the conversation between Braid and our contemporary's representative on the previous day. Vardon and Braid will play an exhibition game at Porthcawl this (Saturday) afternoon

ALLEGED ROBBERY JEWELLERY MISSING FROM A BARRY HOTEL. Culley's Hotel, Barry Dock, was the scene of a robbery of watches and jewellery on Friday afternoon, in connection with which a man named William Moreton was arrested by the Cardiff Police later in the evening. About two o'clock in the afternoon a man about 26 years of age, of slight build and medium height, clean shaven, with black hair and fair complexion, wearing a navy blue reefer suit. with double-breasted coat, pointed American lace-up boots, having on the little finger of the left hand a lady's wedding ring, and carrying a silver-topped bamboo cane, entered the hotel with a small black bag as his only luggage. He engaged a bedroom, and was conducted by a page-boy named Hunt to bedroom Xo. 6. Instead of having a, wash in his bedroom he soon came out, walked the length of the landing, and had a wash in the bathroom. He then ordered-lunch, to which he sat down in the coffee-room. After walk- he sat down in tlie co, ing about the place in a leisurely fashion for about an hour after lunch, he had a conversation with the assistant manager Mr. H. J. Hazell, who was the only member of the staff able to give a minute description of the strange visitor, and, having asked if he could telephone to an address in Cheapside, London, the man suddenly left the hotel about twenty minutes past four. He was not afterwards seen at Barry that day. About five o'clock Miss M'Clune. assistant manageress, went upstairs to dress, and on entering her bedroom found her jewel case open on the table and five gold gemmed rings, a gold chain bracelet, and a ten-guinea gold watch were missing. Miss M'Clune inspected a drawer, where she found that a purse con- taining money which she had placed on some clothes had not been taken. An alarm was raised, and Miss Mather and Miss Dean, two other members of the hotel staff, found that their rooms had also been entered, and their ooxes and drawers rum- maged, Miss Mather missing a lady's gold chain, a gold safety pin, a goold brooch, and two gold bracelets. Miss Dean missed a brilliant stud and two gold brooches. Other bedrooms had been entered. particularly one occupied by a gentleman named Mr. Metcalfe, and it is fortunate in his case that it was only that morning that he took out with him a bag containing a large sum of money, which he had left in his portmanteau the previous day. The police ascertained that the total value of the missing articles- was about £ 60. In tho bedroom which the man had engaged was found his bag. and this was found to contain two bricks and a portion of a drain-pipe, packed separately in pieces of paper.

LOCAL LAW CASES. I COLLIERY COMPANY IN DIFFICULTIES. I Lewis and Others v. Andrews, Davies, and I Dupont (Limited).—In the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, Mr. Justice Farwell on Friday appointed a receiver and manager of the defendant company's nro- perty, a Welsh colliery. whose value, counsel said, stood in the books of the company at £ 19,000. Plaintiffs were debenture-holders, and the company had passed a reeolutiou to wind up. having no money with which io pay its debts. Water was flowing into the mine. and the order was asked for with power to borrow to pay wages, with a, view to realising the property on better termfe than a forced --a! Mr. David Williamt4 appeared for the plaintiffs and Mr. Owen Thompson for the company. NEWPORT RECEIVER APPOINTED. Stone V. the Kishpool lirick ana tile com- pany.—In the Chancery Division of the Higrf Court of Justice, before Mr. Justice Farwell, Mr. Mark Komer appeared in a debenture- holders' action to ask for the appointment -if a receiver and manager. and also for an injunction to restrain the company from issuing a further charge purporting to rank pari passu or in priority to the plaintiffs' security. Counsel said that the company were in a peculiar position. Its business was that of brickmakers, and it bad a leasehold brickfield, and the registered office was a Bort of wooden structure in the middle of the brickfield, in charge of a labourer who did not know who paid his wages, and it was impossible to find out who were the directors or whether there was a secretary or not. According to the articles the directors origi- nally were Mr. Ponsford, Mr. Jenkins, and Mr. Davie. Mr. Ponsford had since be", m-o bankrupt, and ceased to be a director. Mr. Jenkins indignantly denied that he was a director, and they had had no answer from Mr. Davis, so, probably, he had ceased to exist. The plaintiff had presented himself at the registered offico to get a transfer of the debentures he held* completed, but was unable to find anybody there save a small boy, named Donald. Thus, the plaintiff was not on the register for the debentures which were transferred to him. Meantime, the landlord had threatened dist raint on the brickfield, but stayed his hand pending the present application. The urgency for the appointment asked for was owing to the need for cutting the hay in the brickfield. The company was formed in August, 1900, and had power to issue deben- tures in their usual form. Plaintiff held forty of £100 &-tch. The principal became payable if the company made default in pay- ment of interest for three months. On Feb- ruary 24. 1893. Ponsford borrowed money from the plaintiff, and by a,n indenture then executed the various properties of the com- pany were charged for the money borrowed, including Powford's whole interest in the company. On the evidence there was due to the plaintiff £ 7,000 odd. His Lordship: Well, take the order at your own risk for what it is worth. Mr. Charles Gordon Jolliffe, chartered accountant, of Newport, was appointed receiver and manager for two months, with I liberty to act at once on the usual under- taking.

I TENANTS' OBLIGATIONS. At Porth County-court on Friday (before his Honour Judge Williams) Messrs. Thomas and Evans, Porth, were sued by Mr. W Davies, Tonyrefail, under somewhat peculiar circumstances.—Mr. Lewis Morgan (Cardiff) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. S. H. Kelly, barrister, defended.-It appeared that plaintiff had let a shop to the defendants at Tonyrefail about eight or nine years ago, and alleged that damage over and above the ordinary wear and tear to the extent of £ 30 had been done to the premises, this amount being made up by a large number of items.—Mr. Kelly urged that the £ 10 paid into court was quite sufficient I to meet the case.-His Honour awarded the pl intiff C15. with costs on this amount.

I DISTRICT COUNCILS. I BARRY. I SUGGESTED REDUCTION OF WORKMEN'S HOURS. At a meeting of the Barry Urban District Council (under the chairmanship of Mr. J. C. Meggitt, J-P.^i a motion that the hours of the manual workers in the employ of the council be reduced from 54 to 48 per week, the rate of wages in each instance to remain as at present was referred to a committee to report thereon.—In connection with the forth- coming appeal case, Councillor J. Milward v. the Barry District Council, which will come before the High Court, the chairman inti- mated that further counsel had been engaged on behalf of the council. GELLYGAER. ¡ TENDER ACCEPTED FOR A NEW BRIDGE. At the usual meeting of the Gelligaer Rural District Council, Councillor Joseph Margan presiding, it was resolved to accept the tender of Messrs. Vodden and Lee, Bargoed, for the construction of a new bridge over a main road at Ystrad Mynach.—The Clenk (Mr. F. T. James) reported that in answer to the council's application to Lord Tredegar for land for sewerage purposes at Hengoed his lordship was not prepared to dispose of any.

I CARDIFF BROTHER'S THEFT. He's always giving me trouble. He won't work or anything, and he takes the other children's clothes out and sells them." This was the description of her son Albert, aged eighteen, given to the Cardiff Bench on Thursday by Mrs. Parker, of 68, Treharris- street. The son was then charged with stealing a comb and pair of trousers belong- ing to Albert Parker, his brother, a bright- looking youth in the uniform of a telegraph messenger. The police said the defendant had already been sent to an industrial school, and since his release from that institution he had been convicted of stealing a book in one of the arcades. He was now fined 20s., or fourteen days.

A CRUEL HUSBAND SHOCKING REVELATIONS AT I BARRY At Barry Police-court on Friday a sad case of domestic infelicity was heard. Annie Crock, of 29, Plymouth-road, Barry Island, charging her husband, Charles Crock, a boilermaker, with persistent cruelty. She also applied for a separation order. Mr. Alfred Jackson, solicitor. Barry, ap- peared for the complainant, who said she was married to the defendant in November, 1897. She was at that time nineteen years of age. She had had five children, all of whom were under five years of age. In May, 1898, her husband went to Southampton. She followed shortly afterwards, when he told her that he had misconducted himself with her sister. About a month later she (complainant) was confined, and he gave her a black eye in the bedroom. On various dates subsequently he had assaulted her, and one occasion tried to strangle her. On July 5 she saw her hus- band in the front room with her sister-in-law on his knee. He was kissing her. She spoke to him about his conduct, and when they went to bed he struck her and knocked her down. Defendant said his wife. was a drunkard. He had never struck her, and was never out of the house after returning home in the evening. The Bench granted a separation order, defendant to contribute 25.3. a week towards the maintenance of his wife, who would have the custody of the children. Defendant: I will not pay 25 pence. (To I his wife): Say farewell to me for ever.

SOUTH WALES INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERS Visit of Inspection of the "Even i ng Express" Office In the course of their annual" summer outing the members of the South Wales Institute of Engineers paid a visit to the offices of the Western Mail and Evening Express." Here they inspected the plant and machinery and the different processes involved in the production of the newspapers. In the composing-room the row-s of linotype machines rapidly setting up the news of the day greatly impressed the engineers. Nearly all the leading journals in England and America are now set up with these wonder- ful machines. Mechanical ingenuity could scarcely go further than in the linotype, which performs its functions, at the touch of dexterous fingers, with all the logical exactness and definite purpose of a human mind. From the cojnposing-room the party were conducted into the foundry, where the com- plete pages are cast and sent down to the machine-room. The great Hoe printing presses came in for much admira- tion. The machines produce papers at the rate of 192,000 copies per hour. printed, cut, folded, and counted in bundles of 24 copies. The machines were seen in operation. Every five minutes a mile of paper could be seen passing from the rolls through the presses, emerging at the other end with lightning rapidity completely printed, folded, and counted papers. In the course of the year thousands of miles of paper are consumed in the production of the "Western Mail" and the "Evening Express." It may be said that the Hoe machine, which cannot be equalled for speed and accuracy, is almost indispensable in a great newspaper office. Practically all the printing offices in the world are filled with the various types of the Hoe. The "Western Mail" was the first provincial paper in the UnIted Kingdom to recognise the advantages of these now famous presses. A department of the works in which the visitors were greatly interested is that devoted to photo-etching and engraving. The plant employed on this work is the only complete outfit of its description in Wales, and the processes involved in the production oÎ. say, one of Mr. Staniforth's cartoons were followed with the greatest interest. As showing the development of modern newspapers, it may be mentioned that the "Western Mail" and "Evening Express" employ a staff of not less than 400 persons, many of whom have been in the service of the firm for over thirty years. The surroundings in which they work arc bright and vivacious, conditions which go to preserve the enterprise I and energy of youth.

I OBITUARY. I MR. JAMES SULLIVAN, CARDIFF. Mr. James Sullivan, treasurer of the Cardiff Conservative Working Men's Club, died at his residence, 35, Plantagenet-street, Cardiff. The deceased was an old soldier, having served with distinction in India and Canada. During his sixteen years' residence in Cardiff he took an active interest in politics. He was a churchwarden at St. Dyfrig's. The funeral takes place to-day (Saturday).

I DEATH OF A CARDIGANSHIRE FARMER. Hundreds of farmers and others in all parts of the country will learn with sincere sorrow of the death of Mr. Evan Evans, of Maesymynach. Cardiganshire, an event which occurred this week. The deceased gentle- man, who was in his sixty-fifth year, was a nephew of the late Rev. Daniel Evans ("Daniel Ddu o Geredigion"\ and Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford, and was closely connected with a great number of families in Mid- Cardiganshire. He was one of the best farmers in the county, and as a breeder, exhibitor, and judge had won distinction which was the envy of his brother farmers. Early in life lie took many prizes at plough- ing matches, and few could draw a furrow with him. He had a keen eye for the good points of an animal. and his cattle and horses consisted always of the best of their kind, and did much to improve farmers' stock, and produced a great change for- the better in horseflesh in his own and the adjoin- ing counties. As an exhibitor he took more prizes, probably, than any farmer of his time, both at local shows and also at the Royal and the Bath and West of England His beautiful animals were always a credit to the Lampeter and other local shows where he exhibited. His services as judge were in requisition far and near. He acted in that capacity at the Royal at Maidetone. and for the Smithfield Club, and was a familiar figure at all shows from Holyhead to St. David's. He was of a very kind and genial disposition, popular with all classes, and the life of every agricultural gathering. In politics he held no decided opinions, and in religion he was a Unitarian of moderate views. His remains are to be buried to-day at Oapel-y-Groes Burial-ground.

LIVELY SCENES AT PENRHIW- I CEIBER. I There were some lively scenes in Penrhiw- ceiber on Friday night. By order, it is I stated, of Mr. J. Littlejohns. Conservative agent for East Glamorgan, the windows of the Penrhiwceiber Constitutional Club were on Friday barricaded. The two stewards remained under lock and key, neither show. ing an inclination to leave his post until eight o'clock, when some people arrived on the spot to divest the windows of the wooden planks. The street was thronged with spectators, who were diverted as the boards and planks dropped upon the pavement. The police, however, arrived upon the scene and put a stop to the improvised show.

THE CARDIFF INFIRMARY. The committee of the infirmary has I accomplished a good deal since taking in hand during the past two or three years the work of making the institution efficient and equal to present-day needs. Many improvements about the buildings have been recently in hand, and most of them are now complete. The whole of the entrance, the main corridors, and the chief wards seem to have put on a new dress and to carry an air of bright and pleasant healthfulness. The new accident wards opened last year and the new rooms for Finsen lamp, X ray, and photographic uses aid in giving the Cardiff institution a position amongst the best provincial infirmaries. One feature which is particularly interesting to the ordinary visitor is the method of setting out the children's ward—the ward which is iden- tified with the berevolenoo of Miss Shand. Just over a dado forming a background is a boldly painted frieze, executed from drawings made by fr. E. Seward, the architect, containing some ren- derings of the nursery rhymes. The friezes are decorative as well as divert- ing. They are the work of Messrs. Gough Brothers, of Cardiff, though some of the wall- p'ainting is by Mr. Seward himself. In some places a number of "Goosey, goosey ganders" are wandering above the cots; in others the four little pigs and the sow are Welsh enough to be "hwch goch a phedwar o berchyil brithion bach"; and, further on, some per- forming cats are playing Pussy cat high, pussy cat low" on a see-saw. The chief decora- tion. however, is seen above the legend, "Three ships came sailing in." These ships may be Greek argosies or mediaeval baittle- ships. but they are laden respectively with "Health," "Joy." and "Happiness." There could not be more acceptable gifts for the little occupants of the ward. and it is inte- resting that, in addition to this labelling, the craft help to keep the founder of the ward in mind, for certain initials on their swelling sails spell "SHAN D." The furnishing and fitting up of the ward are excellently done, the work of Miss Wilson, the matron, with excellent help from ladies whose aid we have recently recorded.

WELSH WINTER ASSIZES. The "London Gazette" of Friday night con- tains an Order in Council which states that the county of Carmarthen, the county of the borough of Carmarthen, the county of Pem- broke, the town and county of Haverfordwest, and the county of Cardigan shall for the purpose of the next winter assizes be united together and form one county under the name of Winter Assize County No. 6. The said winter assiws shall be held at Carmar- then. Another Order in Council states that '.h e King orders that the county of Brecknock and the county of Radnor shall for the purpose of the next winter assizes be united together and form one county, under the name of Winter Assize County No. 7. The said winter assizes shall be held at Brecon.

I CLAIM AGAINST AN INSURANCE I COMPANY. At Crickhowell Petty-sessions on Friday a case was heard of a claim against the Hearts of Oak Life and General Assurance Company (Limited), of 1. Charterhouseqtreet, LontJon, E.C., for payment of El3 17e. 6d.. alleged to be due under a life policy.—John Davies, the complainant, said his son was insured with the company for f,27 15s., the proposal being made on the 22nd of July last year. The collector called week after week with a view to doing business before the proposal was signed. His son, the assured, died on the 28th of May last of consumption. On the terms of the policy, he claimed half the amount assured. Mr. T. G. Powell, addressing the bench for the defence, said the company had th-eir suspicions aroused by the death of the assured, who was only a lad, occurring so soon after the insurance was effected. Ho proposed to call evidence that the deceased was in ill-health, and tha.t there were mis- representations on the proposal. The Bench. after hearing the collecting agent (Mr. Jacob Jenkins) and the superin- tendent (Mr. D. A. James), decided in favour of the complainant, with all costs.

I "SERVE HIM WHEN YOU CATCH I HIM." "What an excessively clever man he must be," said his Honour Judge Owen at Newport County-court on Friday, referring to H. Corn- wall, a confectioner, trading at 45 a.nd 46, Emlyn-street, who was reported to have cle, erly eluded the court officials from being served with a subpoena. Mr. Frank Lewis, who appeared for the judgment creditors, Messrs. Huba.rd and Co., manufacturing chemists, of Birmingham, alleged that the defaulting debtor was wil- fully keeping out of their way. Cornwall, he believed, was trading in the name of his wife. Judgment for £ 7 8s. 8d. had been obtained in the Birmingham County-court. A letter, written by the debtor to the chemist, was then handed up to his honour, in which the followingpatlsage appeared, You taJk about imprisonment. What yoa would give me would only be a rest." fLaughter.) His Honour: People don't like prison this hot weather. (Laughter.) Yes, I think I ought to commit the man. I make an order for 21 days' imprisonment. You can serve him when ,k you aaitch him.(Ijaugftter.) ]
