A MERTHYR GmLj SUFFOCATED BY TIP FUMES. I In the early hours of this morning the body of a girl, thirteen years old, named Margaret Jane Jones, of 97, Trevethick- street, Merthyr, was found on the Dandy tip of the Dowlais Works, near Incline Top, Dowlais. At five o'clock yesterday evening the deceased was sent to the tip to g3t a sack of coke, and as she did not return a search was made for her by her father and a man named John Hughes. The latter found the girl at the extreme end of the tip, she having been apparently suffocated by the tip fumes.

• One-Armed Man I CHARGED WITH MURDER OF I HIS DAUGHTER. With a charge of murdering his own daughter hanging over him, William Alfred Hancock, a one-armed man, listened yeeter- day at Birkenhead to the evidence given at the inquest on the dead girl. Hancock is believed to be a native of Mill- wall, and at one time played football for the Southampton Football Club. On the night of March 23 cries were heard proceed- ing from his daughter's room, and when Mrs. Hancock and others rushed up they found her lying on the bed, her father holding her down with his head. The girl said he had been trying to choke her, where- upon Mrs. Hanoock abused him. Shortly after the quarrel Hancock ran at his wife with an open pen-knife in his hand. She ran downstairs with Hancock in pur- suit. The daughter followed, but, turning round, her father ordered her back. She went into the room and he followed. Directly afterwards another woman heard a cry for help from the daughter, and going into the room found her wounded. Hancock dashed out of the house and down towards the River Mersey, into which he jumped, threatening to kill a man who tried to stop him. The jury returned a verdict of Will-21 murder."

Identification Errors. I I HOME SECRETARY TAKES ACTION I Mr. Walter Thomas (deputy chairman) to- day presided over a meeting of the Cardiff Watch Committee, whereat a communication was read from the Secretary of State, stating that he had had under his notice cases in which photographs had been used by police officers for the purpose of tracing the perpe- trators of cinime in a way which was liable to lead to miscarriage of justice. It appeared that in some cases photographs of suspeoted persons had been shown by the police, unac- companied by other photographs, to persons who were thought to be able to identify them. All. A kens Douglas thought, therefore, that j the watch committee should issue instructions to the police that in future- (1) Witnesses are not to be shown photo. graphs when personal identification is pos- sible. (2) They must be placed with other similar photographs, and the witness must make hie selection unaided. (3) Portraits of persons photographed while in custody should be shown in such a way as to prevent witnesses knowing they were prisoners. The Chief-constable (Mr. M'Kenzie) observed that the practice suggested was, as nearly as possible, carried, out at Cardiff. On the proposition of Mr. Richards it was agreed to issue Instructions to the police in accordance with the Secretary of State's letter.

County Cricket. I YORKSHIRE v. SOUTH WALES I Preliminary arrangemaents arc uow being made in connection with the first visit to the lPrinaipalityof the famous Yorkshire tesam on the first three days of next month. The match will be played on the Cardiff Arms Park, and the Yorkshiremen will have as their opponents an eleven selected from South Wales. A meet- ing of the sub-committee was held this morn- ing, Mr. J. H. Brain presiding, and it was decided to give seating accommodation at a charge of a shilling, and enclosure shilling extra. It was decided tha.t in order to avoid a crush at the gates no passes be issued after will be provided on the ground. Excursion trains will be run from all parts of South Wales and Monmouthshire, and, given fine weather, the attendance is expected to exceed tha,. which gave the Australians such a favourable impression of Celtic enthusiasm and eportssmiamehip on the oocasion of their visit to Cardiff three years ago. The match will be an invaluable fillip to the season's cricket locally, and it is the hope of every devotee of the game that the' Welsh will make a brave show against such formidable opponents. Mr. J. H. Brain, who has done so much for cricket in the county, has consented, under pressure, to captain the side.

Recorder as Target. I EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT LEEDSI An extraordinary scene was witnessed to-I day at the recorder's court at Leeds. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, soon after taking his scat. sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment a miner, named John Jones, aged nineteen, who had pleaded guilty to stealing cigarettes and other property belonging to a wholesale tobacconist, whereupon Jones drew from his breast pocket a quart wine bottle and threw it at the recorder, who cried out, Mind, mind!" and, lowering his head, luckily escaped the intended blow. The bottle also missed the clerk of the peace and his assis- tant. The recorder afterwards expressed surprise that the man had not been searched, and altered the sentence to five years' penal servitude. There was great excitement in court until prisoner had been removed.

CARDIFF MAINTENANCE CASE I At Cardiff Police-court to-day Mrs. Ellen Jones, of Edward-street, Cardiff, summoned her husband, Thomas Jones, a carpenter, for maintenance. She was a widow and he a widower, with two children, when they were married. But their life was not all bliss, for when she tried to correct his boy Thomas Jones told him. to kick her. On the 20th of March they had a disturbance, and h6 threatened to lock her out if she went out in the afternoon. In spite of this Mrs. Jones went out, and when she came hack at a quarter to eleven she found the door looked. She knocked, but there was no answer, and she had to go to a house in Edward-street, where she has been staying since. Tiie Stipendiary: Are you prepared to go back? Mrs. Jones: He won't take me back. I am willing to go back, if he will correct the boy. The Stipendiary (to Mr. Jones): Are you willing to take your wife back? Jones (decisively): No, sir, not on any con- sideration. He offered 8s. a week, and the Stipendiary made an order for payment of this amount.

CARDIFF POLICE PROMOTIONS. I At a meeting of the Cardiff Watch Com- mittee to-day the ReaA-constable (Mr. W. McKenzie) recommended that Detective-ser- geant Isaao Dicks and Constables John Branton and John Norris be each advanced to first-class merit, and that Constable Eli Joseph Reed be advanced to second-class 1 merit for good conduct and close attention to duty. This the committee unanimously agreed to.

I AN EX-MINISTER SUED AT CARDIFF COUNTY COURT. Singular Promissory Note Story "Last March you wore ordered to pay £ 6 2s. said his Honour, at Cardiff County-court to. day, by way of gentle reminder to a gentle- man of clerical appearance, named Arthur Jenkins, who owes A. C. Culley and Co. the amount mentioned for groceries. Defendant, questioned by Mr. Shackell (Messrs. Morgan, Scott, and Shackell) said he had offered £ 1 a month. What arc you?—At present I am in the employ of the South Wales Transport Com- pany. What is your salary ?—Nothing at present, unfortunately. What have they agreed to pay you ?-They have agreed to pay me nothing at present. I am working the company up. When it is formed I shall have a. salary of £200 a year. You are the promoter of the company?- Not the promoter of the company necessarily, but with others. Who is concerned with yon ?-There were several gentlemen promoting the company. Roberts-Jones was one. Who else ?-Evan Owen was another. Was? Are they not now?—They are the men at the back, certain' Mr. Shackell: Very ü"uch at the back. Were you concerned with another company ?—I was not. As manager of the Castle Insurance Com. pany?—Twelve months ago. What has become of that?—At the next court I have a claim against them for £ 71. Answering further questions, witness said he paid no rent, his wife being responsible for that at the house in which they lived at Tiisvane. Mr. Shackell: You arc a lucky m.an ?-I am. His Honour made a new order for zEl a month. The Note Story Subsequently Jenkins appeared as joint defendant with a, young man of gentlemanly appearance, named Bowen, in respect of zC4,5, on a joint promissory note held by the Somer- set Finance Association. Bowen said he was in the employ of the Vacuum Oil Company at a salary of from £2 5s. to £2 10s. a week, and, although he signed the note, he did not have any of the money. Jenkins had it all. His Honour: How much did you get, Jen- kins?—I wish to be sworn to tell the truth, your honour. Jenkins (sworn) said: Bowen did have some of the money. Furthermore, I have his receipt. How much ?— £ 30. The promissory note was signed for £ 48— Forty-five pounds. How long ago?—Twelve months. Fifteen per cent, interest! Why didn't you defend the action and apply to have it reduced?—I have a claim of L71 against the Castle, and was not in a financial position to defend it. Bowen's case was that he had to support his widowed mother and pay travelling expenses, so that he could, not pay more than 58. a. week. Jenkin.3, in answer to Mr. Forsdike, said the furniture was his wife's, to whom he sold it nine years ago. The Transport Com- pany carried on its business at Mr. Webber's, office in Church-street. No rent was payable, and the furniture was Mr. Webber's. Mr. Forsdike: How do you live?—I reply as I you heard in the last judgment, on the supply of groceries from Mr. Culley. Wife Pays the Rent I Witness told Mr. Forsdike that his wife was a professional lady, and with her own work was able to pay the rent. "Do you preach?" asked Mr. Foradike?-I do not, unless I meet you. Mr. Foradike: Don't be impudent.-You are impudent. What does your preaching bring in?—I don't preach, only when I meet you. Have you been a local preacher?—No. Have you gained a.nything by preaching?— Years ago I was a minister. How long ago?—Four years ago. He was willing, he said, and anxious to meet this liability, but how could he unless he was in a position to do it? His Honour adjourned the case for two months, I

WIDOWS' TEA PENSIONS. I Insolvent Company Wound Up. In London to-day Mr. Justice Buckley made an order for the compulsory winding up of the British Widows' Assurance Com- I paaiy, Limited, which was started for the purpose of carrying on an insurance and pension business in connection with the sale of tea. His lordship came to the conclusion that the company was insolvent, but even if it were not it ought to be wound up, as it had not complied with the section of the Life Assurance Act of 1870, which required that where a company carried on any other business besides that of insurance all moneys paid in respect of any insurance should be carried to a separate account, and should not be liable for any charges in respect of the other business.

A FAMILY DISPUTE. I Mr. Justice Joyce in the Chancery Divi- sion to-day continued the hearing of the action brought by Mrs. Kenneth Grahame and Miss Thomson, against their step-father, Mr. Fletcher Moulton, K.C., M.P., for an account of the income of the residuary estate of their mother, who died in 1888. Mr. Moulton, further cross-examined to-day, said he thought plaintiffs were acute persons with a keen knowledge of money, and they knew very well what they were about. He made it perfectly clear to plaintiffs that they should continue to live, wath him and rooeivo their personal expenses, and they were to con- tribute all their income in the trust estate. He was sure plaintiffs could not have for- got.ten the arrangement. At the time when the arrangement was arrived at, the mother of plaintiffs being dead, there was a question whether plaintiffs should remain with him or not. He made a proposal on which they oould rematin with him, and if they had not accepted it they would have gone elsewhere. He never contemplated that they would not accept his suggestion. (Yesterday's proceeding's on Page 2J (Proceeding.)

SPREAD OF APPENDICITIS. The extra.ordinary increase in the number of cases of appendicitis is referred to in a report for last year issued by the physicians of the Municipal Hospital, Berlin, where Z16 cases weie admitted during the year, on the majority of which an operation had to be performed at once as the only moans of pre- venting fatal complications. In the same report, 1 Professor Fraenkel says that the exceedingly high death-rate in cases of fibrinous inflammation of the lungs, 34 per cent. of which ended fatally, was due to the wretched condition of the patients, meat of whom were confirmed schnapps drinkers, 16 per cent, of them suffering simultaneously from delirium tremens.

ALLEGED INGENluUS FRAUD It was alleged that John Smith, alias Kuber Wilson, who was committed for trial at Rochester yesterday charged with attempted fraud, had sought out people vfho had relatives in the Colonies, delivered bogus messages, and asserted that he had presents for them, but that these were detained with his own goods at Gravesend, he having been robbed on the journey to England. Money was usually advanced to him, and he would then move on to another town.

I FISCAL CAMPAIGN. I MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE. Mr. Chamberlain presided this afternoon over the annual meeting of the Liberal Unionist Club at Westminster Palace Hotel. He expressed regret at the unavoidable: absence of their president, to whom he paid a high tribute for our restored amity with France, and for the foresight of our treaty of alliance with Japan. The right hon. gentleman proceeded to state his entire agree- ment with Lord Lansdowne's speech last night in the House of Lords debate. Mr. Chamberlain next dwelt critically upon the speeches made by Free Traders, especially by the Duke of Devonshire at Thursday's dinner at the Hotel Cecil. The principal toast at that dinner was Success to Free Trade," although the duke, when still a I member of the Government, declared that we had never had Free Trade. The toast should have been Success to Free Imports and Prosperity to Dumping." Cobden had never laid down what the duke described as an essential principle that no taxes should be imposed except for Revenue purposes, and perhaps his grace would specify what con- crete exceptions he thought were permissible. The duke was hardly in a position to I Throw Stones at Mr; Balfour. This country was no longer to be governed by cliques and coteries. We were a demo- cratic people, and the Liberal Unionists had amply recognised that principle. Whatever might be the present position or prospects of the Government and the Unionist party, he maintained that they had not been inju- riously affected by the Tariff Reform agita- tion. Whatever the cause of the defeats the Unionist party had sustained, it could not be shown that they were due to proceedings which took place after the antagonistic move- ment declared itself. Time was with them, j and not with their opponents. The pressure of foreign competition was growing, and would grow. He hoped the Liberal Unionists would not be cast down by temporary checks, for the success of their policy would be the more complete the longer it was delayed.

Mrs. Wright's Denial. A LADY DETECTIVE'S CONDUCT IMPUGNED, Mr. Rawlinson, K.C., resumed his address yesterday on behalf of the respondent in the divorce suit instituted by Mr. R. W. Wright, railway engineer and contractor, who charged his wife, Dora Mary, with hav- ing misconducted herself with a Mr. E. N. Pico, an Italian medical student, at Lausanne and other places in Switzerland, in 1903. Counsel asserted that there was not the slightest doubt that Mrs. Gavin, the repre- sentative of Slater's Detective Agency, was doing everything in her power when at Lausanne to induce Mrs. Wright to go astray. She, however, absolutely failed. With regard to Mrs. Wright's acquaintance with Mr. Pico, it should be remembered that he was thirteen or fourteen years her junior. Mrs. Wright said she was 25 years of age when she married petitioner in June of 1889. She was then living in East London, South Africa. It was not true that she told a Mrs. Hugo that she would give her right hand to be divorced, that she had ever drunk to excess, or that she had ever misconducted herself with any man. It was on the advice of her solicitor, who said she had no witnesses that at the time of the separation, in September, 1900, she con- sented to accept an allowance of L400 a year and to give up the custody of her children. She went too St. Leonards towards the latter end of 1902. Mrs. Gavin came to the same boarding-house shortly afterwards, tak- ing a room next to hers. At first she did not caro for her, but in time they became inti- mate, and on Mrs. Gavin telling her what A Sad Life I she had had, witness took her into her confi- deuce. In January, 1903, she learned that her children were at Lausanne. She accordingly aranged to go there, and Mrs. Gavin, who &aid she would like to see Switzerland, accom- panied her. They put up at the Hotel Vic- toria, occupying adjoining rooms, which communicated. About the third day after their arrival Mrs. Gavin introduced a Mr. Gaspe to her as a stamp-oollector like herself, and when the gentleman had left for Paris Mrs. Gavin suggested that they should follow, saying that. Mr. Gaspe would take them about, and that she would lend witness X10 if she wished. The suggestion, however, was not accepted, and Mrs. Gavin went away in March. She had no idea at the time that Mrs. Gavin was a detective, though she knew she had been watched by male detectives sut Eastings. She never went into Mr. Pico's room at Lausanne, and when staying at the Villa Scala, at Rampigo, he never came into her bedroom, and there was never any act of familiarity between them. She called him Monsieur Pico, and he addressed her as Madame Wright. Her Mother was with Them I during the whole of this time. Describing the early morning visit paid to the Villa. Scala by the Slater's detectives, witness said: "On hearing a knock at my door I jumped out of bed as I was, thinking it was my maid come for orders. I opened the door and saw a lot of men, my own maid, and another woman. The maid, speaking in French, said that the gentlemen wished to speak to me. I said.. Excuse me for one moment,' and shut the door..1 did not lock it. I put on my things and opened the shutters-the windows had been open all night-so that I could see to do my hair. There is not the slightest truth in the sugges- tion that Pico was in my room at the time. Then I went out, and was served with the papers. The men never made any reference to Pico being in my room." Witness admitted that she was much attached to a Mr. Woodiford, but denied that it was her parents who prevented her from marrying him. She Broke Oft the Engagement I In one of your letters to him you say, "Do forgive me once more." Wa-s there any- thing to forgive?—No. Witness admitted receiving a letter from her husband. asking her to get out of her head the idea. that every time a man re- turned to England he wanted to make a fool of himself and to paint the town red. It was imput,ed against Mrs. Gavin that she endeavoured to lead you into improper conduct; do you make that imputation?— Yes Then why did you keep up a correspon- dence with her?—I only wrote her about twice, in reply to her letters. Witness did not know anything about Mrs. Gavin's private conduct, but she thought she was a bad woman because she tried to get her to go to Paris to meet a man. Questioned ae to her relations with Pico, witness admitted that when at the Hotel Vic- toria she sometimes went into the garden with him in the evening. He used to teach her French. Witness was still under cross-examination when the court rose. TO-DAY'S HEARING 1 Kesponaent, further cross-examined to-day, said that a detective named Sargent waited upon her at Raimpiga to serve divorce papers. Counsel: Did you not sa.y something to Sargent about your allowamce? Witness: I did not. If I had thought so much of my C400 a year I should have accepted Mr. Wright's offer after the last case in December, when he offered me C400 a year and L500 if I married and if this case was undefended. The President: Is thai in writing? Mm. Wright: Yes, it is. The President asked for the letters, and Mr. Duke handed them to his lordship. (Proceeding.)

TREHARRIS FOOTBALLER'S DEBT f I At Aberdare County-court to-day Steve I Jones, stated to be a professional footballer, was sued by W. D. Daniel, Aberdare, for £ 1 17s., due in respect of clothes supplied. The plaintiff said defendant worked at the Navigation Colliery, Treharris. His Honour made an order for the payment of the amount claimed.

CAMBRIAN DISASTER I CORONER'S INQUIRY RESUMED TO-DAY. Blowers of Gas Reported on Day of Explosion. I The adjourned inquiry into the Clydaeh Vale explosion wa,s continued to-day (before Mr. R. J. Rhys, the coroiaerr). Mr. Denma,u Benson (instructed by Mr. Kenshole. Aber- dare) again appeared for the colliery com- pany, and Mr. J. Sankey (instructed by Messrs. WaJter Morgan. Bruce, and Nicholas) for the men. Messrs. F. A. Gray. Dyer Lewis, and Trump, his Majesty's Inspectors of Mines, represented the Home Office. The Miners' Federation were represented by Messrs. Harvey (Derbyshire), Handcock (Nottingham), W. Brace, D. Watts Morgan, Ben Davies. and T. James. Among those present were Messrs. L. Llewelyn, agent of the Cambrian Colliery; W. W. Hood, Glamorgan Collieries, Llwyny- pia; and T. Griffiths, Porth. Edmond James. deputy-fireman and brat- ticeman under David Jobu Lewis, in the 29th heading of the No. 3 district, said that on the day of the explosion he discovered four blowers of gas, which he reported. These were properly diluted. He used a, Davey lamp to detect gas and another lamp to get light. These lamps were lit in the lamp-room at the top of the pit. The I Examination of the Lamps I was made in the lock-hole. He examined his I lamps, and if they were not in proper order J he would send them back. By Mr. Benson: He was certain that the four blowers discovered by him on the Fri- day had been properly treated. Harding Morris said that the west main and other districts were well watered on the day of the explosion. He did not have more trouble with gas on the morning of the ex- plosion than on previous occasions. He had 44 places in his district in which there was a quantity of wind. The roads were well watered. D. J. Price said he reported many blowers on the day of the explosion. They were re- corded in a book, which he produced. Continuing, the witness said he did not get more trouble with the gas on the day of the explosion than previously. When his Davy lamp went out he borrowed a collier's lamp, and he returned to the 'lamp-station for a new lamp. He took this course even if he had nearly finished his examination. He had seen no preparations made for shot- firing in the No. 5 district. By Mr. Sankey: There was no particularly heavy blower on the first heading of No. 5 district. There was no blower so heavy as to prevent work on the day of the explosion. It was not true that many men were pre- vented from working in the district until the gas was cleared. There was no blower there just before the explosion. The last fall had occurred about two months pre- viously, and there was only one day's stoppage. He denied there had been a large fall about three weeks before the explosion, and that a big blower had resulted. By Mr. Benson: The working places were properly filled with rubbish. He saw the man Thomas Richards, one of the victims, on the afternoon of the explosion. The Coroner then remarked that this prac- tically brought to an end the evidence up to the time the firemen left the pit. The evi- dence would now have reference to what hap- pened underground with regard to any oom- munications or forces which might have been observed, and which might enable them to Fix the Seat of the Explosion I John Lewis, a collier, said, in answer to Mr. Sankey, that he had not had his proper lamp for months. There was a strong blower in the district in which he was work. ing, Shortly before the explosion there had been a fall in his heading. By the Coroner: They got ther lamps from the window. Did you call out a number?—I used to call out a number. You have given it up because it was no use ?—Yes, sir. Had you a-ny trouble with these lamps?—J No, sir. William Crump, assistant repairer, said that he was assistant to William Lewis before the oxplosion. They were working for some hours on the afternoon in question in the part of the working called Krugersdorp. He did not notice any cap on his lamp. By Mr. Sankey: In the two years prior to the accident he always got the same lamp. John Price, collier, said he worked in the bottom stall except one in Krugersdorp. On the day of the explosion there was no cap on his lamp. He left his stall at 4.50. Thomas Thomas, pulleyman, who was one of the injured, said he was sitting at the bottom of the pit on a box. He was blown from that position to the ground, and did not remember much afterwards. The Coroner: What did it seem like? Witness: Something like thunder. There was no sharp report?-It was more like a rumble. The first fire was of a blue colour, and after that the level was Full of Red Fire. II By Mr. Gray: The first thing he noticed after the fire that the air got very bad, and for some seconds it was difficult to breathe. Then the air got better. How long do you think the red flame lasted ?—Very little. Like a flash, I suppose?—Yes, like a flash. Did you sea any timber on fire after the flame passed away?—Yes. sir. This concluded Thomas's evidence, and the coroner congratulated him on his escape. George Brace, pulleyman (brother of Mr. William Brace, miners' agent), was the next witness. He said he was with Thomas Thomas at the time of the explosion. He heard no report, and the first thing he noticed was a hurricane of fire. He was lifted from his feet, and seemed to be hang- ing in mid-air. The flame was red in colour and travelled at a great velocity, at the same time making a peculiar noise. By Mr. Gray: They were breathing very hard for a little while, but it could not be long, or they would have been dead. He was burnt and singed all over. This witness was also congratulated by the coroner on his escape. James Hall, collier, who was also in the pit at the time of the explosion, said he heard no sound. He was knocked down. The pit got hot very quickly. This witness was burnt badly about the head, face, and hands, and, replying to the corner, said he felt glad he had escaped with his life. Robert Jones, timberman, who was brought into the room in a weak state, under the care of Dr. T- L. Morgan, said he was at the lockhole when the explosion happened. He saw a flame and then became unconscious. By Mr. Gray: He could not recollect which way the Flame Came to Him I He fell on his knees. (Procedieng.)

MANCHESTER HORROR Youth Gagged and Murdered The body of a youth was found last night in the cellar of an unoccupied house at Ancoats, Manchester. A post-mortem exami- nation made to-day revealed evidence of a shocking crime. The mouth of the youth was discovered to be stuffed with paper and bound with a handkerchief. Deceased's face was battered in, evidently with a brick, which was found bloodstained close by. The police are without clue to the idenity of the youth or the murderer. Missing for a Week < The body was this afternoon identified by tho mother as that of Thomas Smith, of Wood- street, Clarendon-street, Cholton-on-Med loci,, a poor district of Manchester. Deceased had been missing since Tuesday of last week. No reasou can be assigned for the crime.

Geoghe Williams, 49, and Harold John Cornish or Escott, 14, were charged before the Stipendiary at Cardiff Police-court this afternoon with committing an offence in Cathays Park on April 11. Both the pri- soners were committed to appear at the assizes in August. Cornish was allowed bail in his own recognisances for 920 and a surety of 471

i-A FOOTBALL ROW. SEQUEL TO PONTYPRIDD V, PENYGRAIG MATCH Player Fined for Assault. At Pontypridd Police-court to-day a case that caused considerable interest in local football circles was heard, in which John Ryan, collier, a member of the Pontypridd Football Club, summoned Henry Jones and David Jones, of the Penygraig Football Club, for assaulting him on last Saturday week after a match between the two teams. Mr. James Phillips appeared for the com- plainant, and Mr. W. P. Nicholas (Messrs. Walter Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas), for the defen, I; 1; Phillips, in opening, said that it was a iniy that the cases should be heard in court, for the sake of sport, but in the circum- stances it was inevitable. It appeared that there was a strong feeling between the two teams. On the day named Ryan was playing for Pontypridd, and, coming into col- lision with Thomas, the opposing full back. was assisted off the field. On his return, in the course of a scrimmage, he was kicked on the back of the head by someone. After the match he went to the Butchers' Arms to dress. He was in a very weak state, and bleeding. Some high words took place when the brothers Jones came in, and shockihg language was used and threats offered to KNOCK RYA"S BRAINS OUT, As a result, David Jones struck the prisoner a violent blow in the mouth. Ryan bore out the statement of his advo- cate. In cross-examination by Mr. Nicholas, Ryan admitted that he had been warned during the match by the referee for rough play. When the alleged assault took place he had a glass of gin in his hand, but he had put it down. He denied having said that he would layout one of the defendants when they next met, at Pontypridd. Mr. Nicholas: That is a football expression, is it not? Witness did not answer. Mr. Nicholas: That is a technical term, is it not? We used in the old days in the Llanelly team to call it "scattering the blood." (Loud laughter.) By Mr. Phillips: He had been suspended once, ten years ago. Henry Jones had been SUSPENDED FOR SIX MONTHS, quite recently. Charles Culverwell, St. Fagan's, who played for Pontypridd, said he was in the passage of the Butchers' Arms Hotel, and picked Ryan up after he had been struck. Com- plainant was bleeding from the mouth. He was bent double with agony. After further witnesses had been called, Mr. Nicholas, addressing the bench, sub- mitted that no evidence had been given against David Jones to justify a conviction. The Bench concurred, and the case against this defendant was dismissed. In the course of his evidence, Henry Jones said that when going through a passage his brother remarked to Ryan, "You have been up to your old tricks again—kicking players." He replied, "I will kick you, too, if you say much more." Witness was inducing his brother not to create a scene, when the com- plainant said. "I will 'out' you, too, when you come to Pontypridd," and, holding up a wineglass, added that he would smash his face. Witness then rushed to Ryan, and held him up against the counter. A struggle then ensued, and Ryan fell on top of him. Thomas Bowen and Frank Symmonds stated that Ryan held up a glass with gin in it and threatened to strike the defendant. Jones took hold of him by the throat in self- defence. Mr. Nicholas said he had other witnesses to cail if their worships thought it neces- sary. Mr. James Roberts (the presiding magis- trate), after conferring with his colleague, said the bench did not think it was necessary, and fined Henry Jones £ 1 and costs. His Worship remarked that the amount of betting and bad language that was done on the football field to-day prevented respec- table people from joining in the game. Per- sonally, he had taken a great interest in the pastime in days gone by, and had given a field to the players for six years. To make the game popular they must da away with the abuses referred to, so that people might not think that the game was confined to roughs.

WEITe Rumtmoned for wilfully damaging a. shed and hay to the amount of L4, the property of Sarah Ann Wallace, White Horse, Inn, Owmtillery. on March 26. Defendants were also charged with wilfully da.maging windows to tlio amount of 3a., the property of the Lancaster Stfam Coal Company, tho same night. It was alleged that the defendants set fire to the shed and stable, out of which they had released a niaxe. The monger was burnt, as were also some hay and thrae kit-tens. Police-grergeant Barry gave evidence, and also raad a statement made by Osmond, before the writing of which he (Osmond de- cla-red he could not rest. Witness cautioned him. The statement gave the facts of the night's oarouipal, and in it Ormond admitted that the charges brought against them were true.

For the first charge you will he fined £ 5, a.nd you will have to pay Mda-mages and 4s. 6d. costs, with an alternative of two months' im?=-, ment. with hard labour.

I PEARLS IN AN OYSTER I When serving a. customer with oysters yes- terday, Mrs. Althorpe. wife of a Kettering fishmonger, had the good fortune to open one containing no fewer than ten pearls. Her attention was called to the remarkable contents of the oyster, which was one of a consignment from Liverpool, by a pearl falling out, and she consequently laid the bivalve a-side, and served others to a custo- mer. An examination then revealed nine other pearls. The find was submitted to two local jewellers, who pronounced them to be pearls of excellent quality. They vary in size fiom a large rea to a little larger than a pin's head.
