Mr. Harold Lloyd was for the complainant, and Mr. W. H. Davies defended. In opening, Mr. Harold Lloyd said com- plainant was a single girl, 21 years of age. Defendant was a married man, and com- plaina-nt was awrare of the fact when advan- tage was taken of her. As a result, a child was born in September last, and if the evi. dence could be relied upon the corroboration was overwhelming. Complainant, who now lives at 51, Ethel- street, said the baby was a male, and was born on September 21, and the father was defendant, who lived at Twynyrodin, near Wenvoe. She was oonfined at Cadoxton, and had known defendant a good many years. Separated from his wife defendant came to her in October, 1905, and invited her to come a.nd nurse his mother, who was ill in bed. She went and stayed there for some time. On Christmas night they went to the house of witneee'e sister, and stayed there until 10.30, and on their return intimacy took plaoe, and was from time to time repeated.

By Mr. Davies: I have never kept com- pany with a jockey named Dan Davies, and I did not tell Mrs. Head that I had been to Cardiff with Davies and had drunk with him.

Guardians' Palace. PROTEST MEETING CALLED. The Cardiff Ratepayers' Association have 'decided to call a public meeting of rate- payers for Wednesday next, at eight p.m., to discuss the proposal of the Cardiff Board of Gua-r-diam to erect offices in the Cathays Park. Mr. J. J. Ames, one of the representatives for the Cardiff South Ward on the Cardiff Board of Guardians, was prevented through indisposition from being present at the meeting of the board on Saturday. If he had been able to attend he would most cer- tainly, Mr. Ames told one of our represen- tatives, have voted against the scheme for the building of offices in Oath ays Park. "Before the last election," continued Mr. Ames, I protected against such a course being taken, and it was on account of my action that the matter was deferred. When I appealed to the ratepayers for re-election I dwelt upon tJie matter in my address, and I think I was the only guardian who took this course. I was returned with, I believe, Ð, larger majority than any other candidate elected in Cardiff, my success being attribirt- able to my having pointed out to the electors the fallacy of spending money in euch a way. I am still of the same opinion, and I a.m glad to find that so many of my col- leagues now think the same. Three years ago, as stated, I was the only one to object, and the matter, on my initiative, was post- TKJned."

A Special meeting of the executive com- tcittoo of the Tylors-town Explosion Local K^lief Trust Fund was held at Tylorstown on "Wtdnc-sdey, under the presidency of Mr. D. Fsinvick.

It was ,agreed to reduce the honorarium from Llo to £5 per annnm, for the purpose of econo- txusing the fuade.

STREET HOUSES IFLAGONS CARRIED IN BAGS A Spanish lady, named Pelir Garcia, who is the proprietress of a boarding-house at 160, Bute-street, was charged (before the stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) at Cardiff Police-court this afternoon with selling intoxicants witihout a licence. Mr. Harold Lloyd defended, and said there wa.s no dis- pute as to the facts. Mr. Carey Laboidy acted -as interpreter. Inspector Ben Davies deposed that at 9.40 p.m. on the 5th inst. he visited the boarding- house, and in the large bar he saw several men aitting at a table on which were two pint bottles and two glasses partly full of beer. Defendant's explanation, was that the men brought the beer in with them. The inspector added that there were ten empty bottles under the counter, which, apparently, had been recently emptied, and three full bottles. In answer to the stipendiary, Inspector Davies said he did not ask for an explana- tion as to the presence of the bottles under the counter. Mr. Harold Lloyd raised the defence, which wag supported in evidence by defendant, that eome of the beer was for Home Consumption ) whilst a6 to the rest one of defendant's fellow-countrymen had given her a present, and sthe sent the girl out to fetch some bottles of beer as a gift on the strength of the present by the Spazrish g.randee-the present of a colon red sas'h and shawl. Inspector Davies g-ave evidence of previous visits, stating that he had seen large quan- tities of beer taken into the house in flagons, carried in bags. The Inspector, in reply to his worship, was sure the bottles contained beer, although he saw them at a distance, and the Stipendiary characterised the inspector as a very bold I man. » Fined C25 and costs, or one month in default of distress. Wilbam Attwell, of Adelaide-street, pleaded guilty to a similar offence, and was fined 40s. and costs, or one month. Mr. Harold Lloyd, for the defence, ex- plained that defendant, who is a. rigger, had a large family, and had been in finan- cial difficulties. A Case Dismissed. A similair charge was preferred against Pedro Pavaoaldo, who keeps a boarding- houise for seamen of Spanish nationality at 172, Bute-street. Mr. Morgan Rees defe.C -(, Inspector Ben 'Davies spoke, to seeing defendant and ten men sitting at a table, which had been pushed into a corner, and music was being played for th^ purposes of dancing. A man was drinking from a bottle. His Worship: How do you know it was beer?—I smelt it. Then you are prepared to say that that was beer?—Yes. The defence was that certain bottles of ale had been presented by one of the guests for general consumption, and that there was no sale. The sale was absolutely denied, and it was stated in evidence that if any oftheboarders wanttd beer they had to send out and pay for it. The case being one of doubt, his Worship dismissed the summons.

Mr. Arthur Brooks, the foreman at the garage, estim,ated the speed of the tramcar at sixteen to twenty miles an hour, and a second witness at a4bout fifteen miles an hour. One of the witnesses was asked whether the tramcar driver sounded his gong1. His Honour: I don't see that that matters at all. I am not bound to get out of the way because a tram driver sounds a gong. It is the King's highway. In the result his Honour found for the plain tiff, and awarded E40 damages.

Cardiff Police-court this afternoon, bad before him a case in which Elizabeth Jane Beer summoned her husband, Francis J. Beer, for desertion. Mr. Harold Lloyd was for the complainant; Mr. George David defended. The facts, Mr. Harold Lloyd said, were out of the ordinary course. The parties were married in 1899, and there were five child- ren of the marriage. Defendant was a master mariner, and he lived with his wife at Bide- ford. On July 3, 1904, complainant came from Bideford on a visit to Cardiff with her husband's consent, and she brought two of the children with her. On July 10 she wrote to her husband that she was about to return to him, but he replied from Bideford that this house will be closed to-morrow morn- ing," complainant, he alleged, having Got Him Into a Mess" I and he was determined to have 44 no more of it." Defendant went on, 44 lrour conduct has not been as it should. You seem to think more of someone else. You c^n do a-s you like. Someone else will keep you. I have finished with you." In all his letters defendant declared he would have no more to do with his wife; he charged her with committing misconduct with a man named Everitt, and that was the reason he assigned for Refusing to Live With Her I The parties entered into negotiations. Defen- dant consulted a firm of solicitors at Exeter, and they suggeeted certain terms. Mrs. Beer did not agree toO those terms, and defendant sent his wife 25s. a week, which she accepted. On November 25, 1905, the husband filed a divorce petition, on the ground of the alleged misconduct with Everitt, defendant claiming damages, and asking for a decree nisi and custody of the children. The misconduct was denied. There were counter charges, and a petition for alimony was taken, out. The day the case was to have come on before the Master in Chambers defendant Abandoned the Petitlon I- I and the matter fe'U vhroug'h. uom'p'lalThaut did not ask for a dissolution of the mar- riage. She denied the misconduct, and made counter charges. Defendant paid the 25s. a week until quite recently. The Stipendiary The petition was1 dismissed, miSi&ed, with costs. Mr. Lloyd: Yes, and tihe taxed costs have not yet been paid. Mr. Harold Lloyd further explained that the last week de.feadant reduced her weekly instalment from 25s. to 18s., on the ground that his eldest son (sup- ported by the mother) was able to earn his own living, which, however, was not the case. Complainant, who now lives a.t 49, Albert- I street, Canton, was t'hen called, and gave the particulars of her case, stating that her husband earned 93 a week as master of a. small trading ship of 29 tons register, trading between Bristol and Bideford. Mr. David (to complainant): You went away in defiance of your husband's orders, and met someone else, and did not intend to return?—I intended to return on the Mon- day. Did Everett visit you in Cardiff whilst you were here during the week?—Yes; my hus- band gave him my address, and he Came to See Me J Did you also see him in Bristol?—No, sir. The husband was called, and swore hoe. earned only 40s. a week, with 3s. a trip extra, amounting to £ 2 6ss. altogether. He also alleged that his wife had run him into an indebted '-S of £70 with various tradesmen, which sum he had reduced by small instal- ments. His Worship made an order of £1 a week, with ooete, the wife to have custody of the children. — t

Sudden Exertion Danger GUARD DIES IN Q.W.R. WAITING-poohl | On the arrival at Cardiff Great Western Railway Station at 11.33 to-day of the Irish boat train from Paddington to Fishguard, the guard of the train, Thomas King, of London, was seized with a fit just after leaving his coach. Fifteen minutes later he expired. Dr. Taylor was called, and attributed death to heart failure, following upon some, sudden exertion. Further details show that the deceased on leaving his van walked to the offiee of Inspector Seaborne, with whom he chatted for a few minutes. He then walked down the platform and spoke to a lady, inquiring of her about the welfare of another person, when he suddenly fell in the fit. King had been in the service of the com- pany for 30 years, and was a native of Swan- sea, where his brother-in-law, Mr. Protheroe, still resides.

His wife and family are living in London, and deceased lias two brothers, who are also in the employ of the company. Kin,g had not complained to anyone of feeling ill, and on leaving Paddington he appeared to be in good health.

Tug Wrecked by Fire. y Fire OUTBREAK ON THE U8K LAST NIGHT I Between ten and eleven o'clock on Wednes- day night the Newport fixe-brig'ade were called to the river bank, where it was found that the ate-am tug Katie, belonging to Mr. Edwin John Walker, of the Mariners' Arms, Botany, which was moored to the Eisca Wharf, had taken fire. The alarm was gi.en by a constable on duty in the Corporation-road district, and when the brigade reached the place, under the command of Superintendent Tothill, the flames had secured a good hold of the vessel. The firemen played on the flames for ever an hour before obtaining the mastery, but by this time the tug had been reduced to a total wreck. How the fire originated is at present a mystery. The tug had been on service down the river on Tuesday, and was on Wednesday night getting up steam to go out again to-day (Thursday). There was no one on the vessel at the time of the fire.

Bullet Not Yet Found CARDIGANSHIRE WOMAN SHOT At the West Wales Winter Assizes, held at Carmarthen yesterday (before Mr. Justice Walton), David Jamee, 32, a collier, formerly in employment at Penrhiwceiber, was charged wit feloniously shooting his wife, Elizabeth James, with a revolver, with intent to murder her, in the parisn. of Penbryn, Car- diganshire, on the 10th ult. Mr. Bowen Davies (instructed by Mr. George, Neweaetle- Emlyn) a.ppea.red to prosecute on behalf of the Crown, and Mr. Harold Stowe hdd a dock 'brief for the prisoner. A brief report of the case appeared in the later editions of yesterday's; Evening Express." Mr. Bowen Davies said that returning home from Glamorg'an, the prisoner accused his wife of having had improper relations with a man, named David Evans, a farm labourer. Evans called at the fa rm one even- ing, and noticed a loaded revolver on the hob of the fireplace. James and Evans went to a local public-house and returned to Parc- eithyn, where the prisoner lived, at about 12.30 midnight. When Evans left a.t two a.m. Mrs James went to 'he door re see him off. The prisoner, who was in, the kitchen, asked her to oome ir. E1he did so, and the prisoner then said, "What did you want by the door? You are a bad woman." He then Elliot her in the side. She ran out of the house and heard the revolver fired again. The bullet had NOT YET BEEN EXTRACTED, and blood-poisoning might set in at amy time. Prisoner was arrested, and, in reply to the charge, he said that he never intended to hurt his wife. He merely intended to frighten her. The prisoner, cn oath, stated that he had been drinking on. the day in question. First of all they took beer, and finished up with a shilling's worth of whisky. His Lordship: Had you anything to drink ] earlier in the day?-No, my lord. Mr. Stowe: Is there any truth whatever in the suggestion that you intended to kill your wife that night?-No, sir. Let those gentlemen know Why you shot that night?—Simply to frighten my wife, being that she had stopped with David Evans in the pass-age for half an, hour. Your wife has stated that you are very sorry for what b,appc-ned.-Prisoner (in tears): I'm very sorry, sir. Mr. Bowen: Why were you cross?—Being that she was talking with David Evans in the passage. There was no harm in that?—No harm, only the talking that was going on between them. He never said his wife was a bad. Woman. Mr. Stow,e asked what proof they had of WIly cTiminial intent. Undoubted'ly, the prisoner did act in a VERY STUPID AND FOOLISH manner in playing with firearms. This would Provide material for one of the best sermons that could be Preached on the evils of exces- sive drinking. His Lordship said that unless the jury were fully satisfied that prisoner intended to murder his wife, or, at any rate, to ? ,"ai,Vt serious injury upon her, they ought to acquit him. He might then be indicted for unlaw- ful wounding. The jury found the prisoner not guilty, aaid his Lordship, in discharging him, said that the jury had acted rightly. He certainly thought, however, that the prisoner was very much to blame for using the revolver in a reckless manner, and there was nothing to prevent him from being tried for injuring his wife again.

THE KING AND AGRICULTURE His Majesty the King on Wednesday received at Windsor Castle the members of the International Federation of Master Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers' Asso- I ciations. His Majesty said he hoped the efforts of the International Cotton Federa- tion to promote the welfare of the world's cotton industry would be eminently success- ful. On a previous occasion he had referred to the international scheme for the improve- ment of agriculture initiated by the King of Italy, and he was pleased to think that it was likely, when fully developed, to further the aims of the International Cotton Federation, and to be of service to that and other kindred institutions which were dependent upon the tillers of the soil for their raw material, the supply of which had, appa- rently, been somewhat inadequate during recent years. Subsequently the committee lunched with the members of the Royal Household, and were shown through the Castle by command of his Majesty

MORE CONGO HORRORS. Trophies of Babies' Hands More horrors from the Congo are given in the diary of the Rev. Joseph Clark, American Baptist missionary at Ikoko, which is re- printed in the November journal of the Congo Reform Association. Since 1893 a nourishing town of 4,000 inhabi- tants has been reduced to a cowering hamlet of 600. The district has been drained of rubber and of its life-blood by methods illustrated by the following quotations from Mr. Clark's diary:- Imag-ine the soldiers returning from fight- ing gome rebels'; see, on the bow of the canoe is a. pole and a bundle of something Ion it. These are the hands (right hands) of sixteen, warriors they have slain. Wari-iors!' Don't you see among them the ba.n-ds of little children and girls (young girls or boys)? I have seen them. I have seen where even the trophy has been cut off while yet the poor heart beat strongly enough to shoot the bki^il from the cut arteries to a distance of fully four feet. We have seen a child of between three and four years of P-ge, whoc-e hand was cut off by soldiers of the State. The soldiers began to cut off the left hand, but noticed their mistake and then severed the right one. I' Nearly all Ikoko is in the bush-this ever- lasting rubber is sending lots into eternity I and many to live like wild beasts in the wood, where they are afraid to make a. fire for fear of attra-eting the man-hunters."

ABERDARE AND EDUCATION At a meeting of the Aberdare Education Committee on Wednesday the Director (Mr. John Morris) read further correspondence with the Board of Education relative to the appointment of a headmaster at the Town National School, which was made without the consent of the local education authority. The board wiote tha.t the managers appeared to have been ill-advif cxl, and that no appoint- ment was valid until confirmed by the local a-uthority. But the board hoped that a satisfactory arrangement could be effected. The Chairman (the Rev. J. M. Jones, M.A ) said that the matter was entirely in their hands as a committee to do as they liked, and they could instruct the managers to advertise again if they chose. Mr. David Davies thought they could deduct from the salary for religious instruc- tion. The Chairman thought it best to warn the managers as to the future, and offer £ 140 as salary for the headmaster. Mr. D. P. Davies could scarcely agree to offer a lower figure than they paid to their own teachers. He moved X150. The Chairman: Let the managers pay him the difference, as. they have engaged him. It was decided to pay at the rate of L140 per annum from November 1.

SEAMEN AND MR. CLARK RUSSELL The following are the terms of a letter sent to Mr. Clark Russell, the author, by Mr. George Jackson, secretary of the Newport Branch of the National Sailors and Firemen's "Onion:—"I am instructed by I my committee to write and ask you if you have given permission to Mr. Cuthbert Laws, or the Shipping Federation, to print and scatter broadcast amongst seamen copies of I two letters written by you to Mr. Laws, in which you attempt to belittle seamen's Unions, aud the above Union in particular. I You also cast aspersions on seamen's Union officials. My oommittee wish you would be more above board and specific in your charges, so tha.t they might be dealt with in a court of law. However, such tactics to injure the cause of the seamen will eventu- ally recoil on your own head. I may inform you that my committee are of opinion that you are being used as a tool by the Shipping Federation in its fight against the Seamen's Union and the Parliamentary representation of the seafaring classes. Believing as they (my committee) do that you know little or nothing about modern conditions of sea life and work, awaiting the favour of your reply, &c."

■ » FALSE USE OF A SUMMONS At the West Wales Assizes, held at Carmar- then on Wednesday (before Mr. Justice WaJ. ton), Thomas Henry Martin, an auctioneer, of Haverfordwest, pleaded guiity to an offence against the bankruptcy laws by falsely using a county-court summons to try and recover 25s. from a Mrs. Margtrettai Bigg", at Haverfordwest, and was fined L5, or one week's imprisonment, in default of payment in two weeks, in the second division. The prosecution was so unusual that even his lordship hesitated as to the sentence he should pass.

First International-v. Scotland It bias now been definitely decided to play I the Springboks Y. Scotland match next Saturday, a/t the New Hampden Park, Gias- gow, and the rival teams will be:— SOUTH AFRICA. I Back, A. F. M<arsburg (Griqualand West); three-quarter backs, J. Lou-bscr (Western Pro. 1 vince) J. D. Krige (Western Province), H. A. de Villiers (Western Province), and A. Steg- rnviJiTL (Western Provinoe); half-backs, H. W. Garolin (Western Province) and F. Dobbin (Griqualand West); forwards, P. Roos (Wes- tern Provinoe), W. A. Burger (Border), D. J. Brink (Western Province), W. S. Morkel (Tra-nsvajal), D. 3fare (Transvaal), H. J. Daneel (Western Province), J. W. E. Raai (Griqualand West), and D. Brookes (Border). SCOTLAND Back, J. G. Bcoular (Cambridge Univer- sity); three-quarter backs, A. L. Pnrves (Lon. don Scottish), M. W. Walter (London Scot- tish), T. Sloan (Glasgow Academicals), and K. G. M'I-.od (Cambridge); hailf-ba<ck8, P. R. Munro (London Scottish.) and L. L. Greig (Glasgow Academ-ioads and Unit-ed Services) (captain); forwards, D. R. B.edell-Sivri,ghrt (Edinburgh University), W. P. Scott (West of Scotland), W. H. Thomson (West of Scotland), J. 0. M'Oullum (Watsonians), L. M. ) L. M. Spiers (Watsonians), J. C. Geddee (London Scottish), H. G. Monteirtii (London Hospital), and D. Frew (Glasgow Higii Sohool). Thomson, Spiers, Frew, and Geddes are new to international honours. Stogmann has been selected for the South Africans, but he is a doubtful starter, being, troubled J>y lameness. troubh'bd??k division of the Springboks is thoroughly in aocord with expectations. With Burmeister injured, a.nd Joubert not yeti arrived, th?re was no other <"hoiœ for full- back but Marsburg. He has proved h?m&eK a splendid man for the position, and his great games against Newport and GIamop?a.n will not soon be forgotten by thos who wit- neQc?d them. Th? three-quarter line is the now famous S,telkq?bo,?,h f<)u,r-loubser,l Krige, De Vi I li em, and &t?gma'Bn. Th?y could not be improY?d. Carolin and Dobbin, the ha.lf-ba?B, are a moM serY1,bie pa,ir. With regard to the forwards, there may be-a, dif- ference of opinion as to the best eight. For all-round forward work the Springboks have not earned much distinction up to the present. But they excel in line-out play, in which t.he height of their men is a decided advanta-ge. On the whole, it is a strong, ser- yiC>0<ahlc side, which should be thoroughly capable of upholding the. prestige and renown of South African football in their first inter- national of the tour. W. E. Kyle, who has played in each of the Scottish internationals for the past five years, owing to an injured ankle, will be unable to play, and his place in the front rank will be filled by J. C. Geddes (London Scottish), who gains his first cap. Ireland v South Africans Mr. John Tulloch, president of t.he Scottish I Union, will aot as referee in the match between Ireland and the South African at 1 Belfast on November 24.

An objection to Cissy's Bevel for the Neston Stee- plechase at Hooion Park was made by J J Maher, on behalf of Mr K F Malcolmson. owner of the second, on the ground that Capt Noel Money, owner of the winner, is a disqualified person. The latter b.1i., C,-iti?d that such was the ca,?, the acting wa,rds-Lord Cholmondeley, Lord Cole, and Mr W Hall Walker-havc disqualified Cissy's Revel and awarded the race to Sprig of Nobility. We believe that in connection with the disqualifi- cation of Cissy's Revel at Hooton Park, the bets in this instance will go with the stakes. DEATH OF WAHINE.

CARDIFF WOMAN'S TRADING I Creditors Thought they were I Dealing with a Mr." This seems to me to be a very serious case," said the Cardiff Official Receiver (Mr. Q-eorge David) to the creditors of Anne M. Wiiliame on Wednesday. The lady named, who is otherwise known as Anaetasia Mary Williams, is a married woman who carried o.i the business of fruit merchant, separate and apart from her husband, at No. 6, New- street. Cardiff. Her gross liabilities amounted to CI,438 5s. Id., and the defir'^ncy to £ 1,204 14s. lid She alleged the causes of her failure to be bad debte, loss on empties and perishable goods, and heavy law costs and pressure by creditors. Among the cre- ditors who attended the meeting was Mr. Ponpard, of Covent Garden Market, London. The Official Receiver said that from the information which had reached him from vanoue quarters, the creditors were not aware that they were dealing in any way with a married woman, the trading name being A. M. Williams. They thought they were dealing with a Mr. Williams. Mr. Chapman (one of the creditors) eaad he was under that impression himself. The Official Receiver added tha.t so far as Mrs. Williams was concerned she knew nothing about the. business, and the state- meait he had was that the busineee was managed by a ma-n named Plumley, who was himself an undischarged bankrupt. In his printed remarks, the Official Reoedver said the bankrupt was the wife of one Abra.ha.m Williams, an undischarged bank- rupt. She started business with a capital of 960, which she had saved im Australia before her marriage. The public examination is fixed for tihe 4th of December, and the offioial receiver wae appointed trustee.
