Mr. Veall Satisfied I I
Mr. Veall Satisfied 'THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO BE SAID. I MT. F. J. Veall was stated by Alderman Edward Thomas at the 'Ca<rdin' City Council meeting to-day to have seen snakes where tthere were none. These snakes took the form of an education minute that the atten- tion of the school authorities be dra.wri to the desirability of utilising the Welsh lan- guage as the medium of instruction in the Bubjeot of Scripture knowledge. Mr. Lewis Morgan (chairman of the educa- tion committee) said that thds resolution of the Central Welsh Board did not apply to Cardiff, but only to those districts where .Welsh was the everyday language of the children. Mr. Veall: I am quite esitisfltd veitb the explanation. Alderman David Jones: Mr. Ve,all is satis- fied there is nothing more to b ,said.
EMPIRE DAY I
EMPIRE DAY I Narrow Views at Cardiff Mr. Frank Gaskell called attention at the Cardiff City Council this morning to the refusal of t,he scftiool management committee to agree to the suggestion of the League of the Empire that a holiday be given to the children in the elementary sohools on Empire Day. He moved that the matter be referred back to the committee, as he considered that ',he matter was an important one in a oatiomai sense Alderman David Jones: Does that mean ,he British League? (Laughter.) Mr. H. M. Thompson said the application was not granted, as the committee thought "t inadvisable that more holidays should be riven at the time of the year suggested by the league, and that the educational inte- 'ests of the children should be paramount in ihe consideration of such applications. Mr. F. J. YeaU ha/ving spoken in favour of .he league's application, Mr. John Cfoa-ppell raid he opposed the referring back of the natter to the committee. He wanted to mow what was mea.nt by the Empire." They ought to have notbing to do with the bringing up of children in enmity against other nations. Was it meant to bring the children together on Empire Day in order to point out to them the amount of poverty and unemployment in the Empire? If so, he agreed with it. But if it was only to be a little demonstration with flags and tin drums it were far better to have nothing to do with it. The day was gone when they should import strife into the hearts of their children against those who were said to be their enemies. Mr. Lewis Morgan said the children would not be taught to hate anybody, but to be proud of the great Empire to which they belonged. On a division the amendment to refer baok was carried by twelve votes to nine.
YOUNG GIRL'S LOVERI
YOUNG GIRL'S LOVER Ernest Edgar Lane, footman at 77, Eaton- squarc, answered to a summons at South Western Police-court on Saturday charging him with assaulting Alfred Kettenuo, an insurance agent. It was stated that the complainant, a man of over 30, had engaged himself to the defendant's sister of fifteen, wvioh had aroused the indignation of mem- bers of the family; hence the unpleasant- ness. The complainant stated that defendant exclaimed excitedly, "I've come here pur- posely to murder you," at tihe same time striking him a heavy blow in the eye, felling him to the ground. Mr. Hindle said the story about the threat to murder was an invention. Mr. De Grey observed that the defendant was wrong in taking the law into his own hands, and he would have to pay a fine of 20s.

SHOT IN A TRAIN!
SHOT IN A TRAIN! I DRAMATIC AFFAIR IN SEVERN I TUNNEL. Ex-Cat'diffian Found in a Pool of Blood I" WHO WILL BURY ME WHEN I AM DEAD P" What appears to be a determined attempt at suicide took place in a, railway train which arrived at Newport this morning from Bristol. A pool of blood was seen in one of the compartments, and a young man, whose name has transpired to be Frederick Slip, of St. Vincent-road, Newport, was found shot through the mouth. He was removed to the Newport Hospital about eight o'clock, and remains there under treatment. I He has been, from the time he was first seen, in a dazed condition, and has given absolutely no account of how the injury took place; in fact, his mouth seems to be sealed, and he is very reticent. So far the injury is not regarded as plac- ing him in immediate danger. He has lost, however, a considerable quantity of blood, and he is now in a low and weak state. His parents are unable to account for the I affair, and state that they know of no trouble which he was in. THE GUARD'S STORY I The guard of the tra.in, Alfred BouTford, st,a,tes that he was in charge of the 5.55 a.m. train from Bristol to Cardiff. When his tra.in was about three-quarters of the way through the Severn Tunnel this morning he heard the report of a firearm. On arrival at Severn Tunnel Junction he went to a third-class compartment, amd there found a young man lying on one of the seats, bleeding from a wound in the mouth. He held a third-class ticket from Bris- tol to Severn Tunnel Junction. There was a six-chambered revolver on the floor, five of the chambers being still loaded, and one apparently just recently discharged. As there were no facilities at the Severn Tunnel Junction to have the easo treated there, he brought the young man on to Newport, where he was helped out of the train and placed on the ambulance carriage, and, under the charge of Ticket-inspector William Jones and Porter Pill, he was taken to the Newport Hospital, and treated by the resident surgical staff. Inquiry after the patient's awl-mission showed that the young man was Frederick George Slip, 21 yeare of age, a single man, living with his father at 29, St. Vincent-road, Newport. He and his father have carried on a business as box-makers. They were pre- viously in business at Jersey, and afterwards for some time at the Canton Sawmills, Cardiff. Interview with the Father I in an interview with the father Mr. Slip stated that his son left home on Saturday to go away, but where he was going he did not say, and his parents had no idea where he had gone to. Apart from the fact that his son had been a little gay of late, he did not know cf any cause for committing such a rash act. Mr. Slip stated further that one of his daughters once had an old revolver, and it is possible that the one his son had in his possession was the same weapon. INTERVIEW WITH A BROTHER I Had a Hard Time of It" I When our representative acquainted Roger Slip, a brother of Frederick G. Slip, of the fact, Roger said, "I expected something of the kind." "Why?" asked our reporter. "Had ho ever threatened to take his life?" "No," said Roger, "but he has had a hard time of it. He was a box-maker, like myself, and my father had a business of his own some years ago, but he failed, and then we all separated. My brother and father went to Guernsey, and some time after my father accepted the managership of the Clarence Saw Mills at Newport, where my brother joined him last summer. There they had been working ever since, and lodging together at a Mrs. Matthews, in St. Vincent-street, Newport. "Oan you give me any idea as to his action this morning?" asked our reporter. "WeM, they could not get anyone to put money into the joinery works, and probably this affected both my father and brother. Yet, he was of a cheerful disposition, and played football for several Newport teams, and was courting a young lady at Newport." "Who is Going to Bury Me P" Mrs. Slip was crying as if her heart would break, and between her sobs told our repre- sentative that it was not long since her son had visited her. He was in good spirits then, and asked me if I had insured him. I said "No," and "Then, who is going to bury me when I die?" he asked; "but little did I think of this hapening." The Business in Gu ernsey I The business in Guernsey had, it seems, been given over to the young man, but with what success he had carried it on does not appear to be plain. When ho was first found in the railway carriage it was believed that he was dead. He was for a short time apparently uncon- scious, but recovered, and was conscious when he was admitted to the hospital, and remained so afterwards. He, however, would not say why ttic injury was inflicted. The weapon was a cheap six-chambered re- volver of .32 calibre and of old-fashioned Belgian pattern.

Police-consta ble Chappell said that at 11.20 on Friday evening he was a.t the corner of Mill-lane in St. Mary-street, and saw prisoner on the canal wall.

IINCREASE IN NEWPORT I POLICE.…
I INCREASE IN NEWPORT I POLICE. I An increase in the Newport Police Force is in early contemplation. It is a subject which has occupied the attention of the watch committee for some time past. A sub-committee of that authorlf. has now met, and, in view of the extensive growth of the town, has provisionally decided to recom- mend an addition to the force of a dozen men. This will bring the total up to 105. As the day is divided into three shifts of eight 'hours each, any increase less than a dozen men would scarcely be appreciable. Twelve additional constables will only mean four extra on duty at a given time.

" CRUCIFY H I M !"I
CRUCIFY H I M I SPRY UP ONCE MORE I Heated Debate at Council I The question of Air. Spry's delinquency in the electric-cable matter came up for die. cussion. at the Cardiff City Council today, when Mr. G. S-eccombe said that the decision to e,harge Mr. Spry 10 per cent. per annum on the outlay (mtH such time as the extension becomes remunerative was an inadequate punishment. He moved that the whole matter be referred back in order that it might be more thoroughly dealt with. If Mr. Spry was not asked to reeign, he thought he might be removed from hie present department to another department of the corporation. He felt very strongly on the question. Asked if there was a seconder, there was no reply, until Mr. Dashwood Caple said he would second in order that Mr. Seocombe eihould have his object furthered. The punishment should be a sufficient deterrent to further delinquents Alderman Carey said he did not stand up to justify the action of Mr. Spry; but what were the committee to do? Mr. Spry was most abject in his contrition, and he ihougfut that the punishment meted out was suffi- cient. He appealed to them not to make the young man, at the beginning of his married life, uncomfortable as to his future by letting this matter hang over his head. Mr. Veall said he could be transferred to another department under another official. Mr. Secoombe 6aid he would accept Mr. Veall's suggestion as an amendment, that Mr. Spry be transferred to another department. Mr. Caple: I take it that if he is transferred the other part as to the 10 per cent. will stand. Mr. Lewis Morgan: Oh, send him in for a month! Mr. Stanfield: Yes, and crucify him! Mr. James Kidd said that the man had been tried three times. It was like tying the man to a cart, whipping him through the streets, and then hanging him. He hoped the council would have mercy in the matter. Some gen- tlemen seemed to leave all mercy to the here- after, and to give none on this earth. He thought that Mr. Spry had been treated scan- dalously. Alderman Robert Hughes said that the pro- cedure adopted in this case by certain gentle- men was quite new, and most cruel. Let Mr. Seccombe have the moral courage to pro- pose that the man be asked to resign, and have done with it. I Mr. F. J. Beavan also protested against the amendment, and said it seemed like punish- ing Mr. Ellis rather than Mr. Spry. He (Mr. Beavan) had been in the council for nearly twenty years, and he had never heard such a proposition as this. The inference from. the proposal to transfer him was that Mr. Ellis had no control over him. It was Simply Revolting I that such a proposition should be made. If the cable was worth z670 then let Mr. Spry be made to pay 10 per cent, on that amount, and not upon zM. Mr. F. G. L. Davis said he did not think j Mr. Veall had much justice when he came to the committee with his mind made up. How many of them could stand three trials? He (Mr. Davis) asked for mercy, and not jus,tioe, or, less justice and more mercy. Alderman David Jones said that in all his experience he had never known a case where maladminiiftratdon. was so t-horojughly gone into. They were dragging this young man at the cart tail to execution. Why didn't they execute him in the first plak,? Mr. Joseph Stanfield vifas not sure that three or four members of the council would not crucify the young man if they had a chance. Let those who were without sin be the first to cast the stone. -a Chappell and Mr. Morgain Thomas aIGr.) spoke, and the latter objected to the trend of the diacitss&on and The Insinuation I that he was responsible for this matter being brought forward a third time. Other men in the employ of the corporation had been dismissed for infinitely less serious offences. However much they might sneer at him and threaten him, he was quite prepared to leave the issue to the ratepayers of his ward. He resented the charge of spleen and persecution, and was not going to be brow-beaten or held back because some of t,hem would raft-hortbat he had taken no action in the matter. He did 11:0:t want to blast this young man's career din life by dismissal, and it was not alll. extra- ordinary proposal that he be transferred. Alderman Edward Thomas pointed out that they were exereigiiH- a.n aot of usury. They were charging Mr. t-jry 10 per cent. for. what they were only paying 5 per cent. He Joined in the protest aga,knist the charge being-made more than onoe. A vote was then taken, with the result that eight voted for Mr. Secoomibe's amendment, and 26 againist. Mr. F. G. Gaskell remained neutral. Finality Wanted I Mr. J. T. Richards said he wanted finality in the matter, which was of great importance to the council and the administration of the city's affairs, and he moved, as a further amendment, that Mr. Spry be now called upon to resign. He could not understand Mr. Stanfield when he said: "Let those who are without sin be the first to throw stones." If that were followed they could not deal with any dereliction of duty in the work of the council. Mr. Chappell: Spare us, spare us! Alderman David Jones: Speak for yourself, please. (Laughter.) Mr. Seccombe said lie had a public duty to perform, and he seconded the amendment. Mr. F. Gaskell said the whole delay in settling the matter was due to the weakness of the knees of the committee. Had dismissal been proposed at the commencement he might have supported it, but he could not agree to baiting the man, and he would have nothing more to do with it. On a division five voted for the amendment and twenty-eight against. This closed the subject.

Police-constable Wilcox stated that at an early hour in the morning he found the defendant dressed in female clothes. He was drunk, and was kicking at the doors of the houses. Witness had great trouble to get the defendant home to his sister's, where he was staying during the holiday. Defendant stated that he had been a tee- totaller for some time. He had gone to a party at a friend's house and drank some rhubarb wine. In going home he failed to find the right house and that woe why he was kicking at the doors. The Magistrate's Clerk (Mr. Evans): The doors were going round, were they? Defendant: All of it, sir. (Laughter.) Fined 56. and costs or seven days.

LLANELLY SENSATION I I
LLANELLY SENSATION Mr G. F. Blake's Throat Cut. PAINFUL CIRCUMSTANCES A painful sensation was caused at Llanelly to-day when Mr. George F. Blake, agent to the Stradey Estate, was found in the conser- vatory at his residence, Wellfield, with his throat cut. Mr. Blake had arranged to go to London to-day, and at the time the discovery was made the 'bus was waiting outside the house to convey him to the station. It was found that there was a serious gash in the throat, and Dr. D. J. Williams, Dr. Evan Evans, and Dr. Samuel Williams i were quickly in attendance. At present the unfortunate gentlemen is in a critical condition. It is surmised that recent developments in connection with the Stradey Estate have preyed upon his mind, arrangements having been made that Mr. Charles Lewis shall suc- ceed to the agency of the estate in Feb- ruary. Mr. Blake has held the position for over 30 years, and is held in the highest esteem in the town and county.

I Welsh or No Welsh I For a second time the consideration of the subject of Welsh being made a compulsory subject in the schools of Cardiff has been postponed by the city council. Mr. F. J. Veall had a motion in his name on the agenda of to-day's meeting of the council, which was divided into two parte, the first being in favour of making all neces- sary arrangements in the pupil teachers' centre and secondary school to fit as many teachers as may be wanted for the teaching of Welsh in the schools, provided always that Welsh be not made a compulsory subject, The second part of the motion was that the compulsory teaching of Welsh in the elemen- tary schools be discontinued, and that the education committee prepare a scheme for optional teaching of Welsh in those schools, and submit the dfflie to the council for approval. Mr. Veall explained that, strictly speaking, the motion was out of order that day, the council at the previous meeting having ordered a epecial meeting to be held to con- sider the matter. In the circumstances he moved that the special meeting be held next Monday. The Lord Mayor replied that several mem- bers had expressed the wish that the meeting should not be held on Monday, as they would be ont of Cardiff that day. The fixing of the date might be left in the hands of the chair- man of the education oammittee (Mr. Lewis Morgan) and himself, and they would do their best to find a day that would be gene- rally convenient. The suggestion of the Lord Mayor was a,greed to.
A LAZY WOMAN I I
A LAZY WOMAN I I Painful Case at Merthyr To-day at Merthyr Poice-eowrt Martha Power, Mardy-street, Twynyrodin, the wife of a collier, was summoned for neglecting her six children in such a way as to cause them unnecessary suffering or injury to health. Mr. F. P. Charles, who prosecuted on be-half of the National Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Children, explained that the ages of the ohildren ranged from thir- teen to a little under one year. The case had been under observation since February, 1905, .and during that time her conduct had never been thoroughly satisfactory- In July Mrs. J. B. Davies, the wife of a, police-sergeant, who lived next door, took her in hand, and induoed her to amend her ways, and the ease was m,arked off the society's books. In October, however, the case got very bad again, and it was again taken up, and had I been Under Observation I ever since. The defendant, in addition to giving way to drink, was a lazy woman, and it was perfectly hopeless to expect any per- ma.nent improvement. Inspector Starr, the society's lc-oal officer, deposed to the filthy state of the house and the verminous condition of the children. The beds upon which the children slept he described as half rotten. Mrs. Davies, another neighbour named Mrs. Powell, Police-constable Stephens, and Police-sergeant Davies also gave evidence absolving the husband from all blame, he being said to be a very respectable hard- working man. The defendant was committed to gaol for two months in the second division.
f"NOT SERVED THERE"
"NOT SERVED THERE" Merthyr Landlord Cautioned At Mexthy-r Police-court to-day Joseph Thomas, landlord of the Royal George beer- house, Lewis-street, Dowlais, who was de- fended by Mr. F. P. Oh ark* was summoned for permitting drunkenness. At 10.40 p.m. on Saturday, the 5th inst., Police-sergeanta phillipe and Evans, upon visiting the house, saw in the passage four women and two men. One of the men, Patrick Murphy, who was staggering about, had a pint of beer in his hand, in the act of drink- ing it. The landlady's sister oame up and took the pint out of his hand, saying that it must be somebody else's, as he had not been served there, and the other main, Jam.eo Cody, thon said, "I gave him a. drink out of my pint." The officers questioned the landlord as to why he had supplied drink to a man in a drunken state, and Hughes repeated his sister-im-law's statement, that he had not been uerved there, adding that he had turned the man out twice. Without calling upon Mr. Charles, the Stipendiary dismissed the case, but- cautioned the defendant to be more careful in future.
TAIBACH DEADWOOD DICK i
TAIBACH DEADWOOD DICK Discharges a Revolver in the Street A lad named David John Davies, 20, Park- streets Taibach, was charged at Aberavon i Police-court to-day with firing a revolver in the paiiblic street on Sunday, January 6. Police-constable Kelland stated that he heard several shots fired in the street, and saw defendant running away. He gave chase and captured him. Defenda.nt at first denied, but afterwards admitted firing one shot. HIe (witness) recovered the revolver produced, which was a six-chambered one, and also a box of cartridges, both of wihich defendant had thrown over a wall. Five of the cham- 'bers had been discharged and one was loaded. Witness tried the revolver at 50 yards in the Taibach Drill-hall, and the danger was sliown by the bullet going through an inch thick board at that range. Defendant said he had only fired one shot for practice. He did not think there was any harm in it. The Chairman: It was a. most dangerous and silly thing to do. You had better get rid of the revolver. Hand it over to the Drill-hall authorities, where it will be looked I after with safety. (LaUlghter.) Defendant was fined 20s. and co-ste. I Another Charge I A further charge against defendant of training on the Ehondda and Swansea Bay Railway without a ticket was next gone inito. MJ. Trevor Hunter, who prosecuted on behalf of the company, stated that the defendant was trav-ellilag up by the 5.45 p.m. workmen's train, and he was found by one of the officials at the Cwmavon Bailway Station, secreted underneath the sea.t of one of the carriages. Dr. Arnold Jones: A regular Deadwood Dick. (Laughter.) Defendant for this offence was fined 2s. 6d. and costs.

'WILFUL MURDER" VERDICT! Fracture and Scarlet Fever At an inquest at Edmonton Workhouse this morning on the body of Fanny Church, aged 37 years, a verdict of "Wilful murder" was returned against her husband, a painter, residing in Cornwall-road.

I Ladies as Thieves. I I I
Ladies as Thieves. CHARITY BAZAARS ROBBED BY BERLIN BELLES Astonishing revelations are being made of fraud committed by society women who make a practice of taking a prominent part in bazaars and other charity functions. jt is shown that these "hyenas of charity," as they are called here (says the "Express" Berlin correspondent) have not only vie- ■ timised gatherings legitimately organised, but that they have been in the habit of engineering theatrical fetes, where they sold cups of coffee at 5s. and 10s. each, and other articles of refreshment at equally ertra- vagant prices. In one case a lady sold kisses on the bare arm for 10s., on the neck for 20s., amd on the cheek for 30s. Those who were shocked by this and other still more astonishing devices for obtaining money were told that every- thing was justifiable in the cause of charity. Unfortunately, further revelations have I made it clear that many of these nominally charitable ladies Appropriated Large Sums of the money obtained in this way. One society belle, a prominent figure at all charitable fetes, systematically appropriated all gold coins paid to her, and only handed over silver coins to the treasurer. Recently one womam, detected in the act of stealing money, was publicly assaulted at a charitable fete by a lady whose indignation j carried her away. The sight of one fashionably dressed lady whipping another gorgeously arrayed dame at an assembly attended by 2,000 persons created great excitement, and led to persistent inquiries as to the cause of the encounter. Another hyena of charity was detected in the act of pocketing money, and was compelled to disgorge her spoils on the spot, in the full view of forty or fifty contemp- tuous spectators. She was searched there and then, and gold coins were extracted from her pockets, from the folds of her dress, and even from her dainty shoes. Then she was driven from the building amid loud hisses and hoots.
Promise of a Scene. I
Promise of a Scene. I MISTAKE IN WORKHOUSE CONTRACT I At the meeting of the Carmarthen Guar- dians on Saturday the Rev. Fuller Mills animadverted upon the question of the work. house contract, and stated that, although he had no imputation to make, he considered things were done at the special meeting held on the previous Saturday in a very dis- orderly and irregular way. A fortnight pre- viously they accepted the tender of Messrs. Pye, Parkinson, and Co., Swansea, for the re-building of the workhouse, but pince then the firm had sent a letter to iheir clerk intimating that they had made a mistake in their tender of £1,000, and could not carry out the contract at the price they had quoted. He (Mr. Mills) considered that that communication ought to have come in its proper course before the board at that day's meeting, but how was it that the contents of that communication were made known before the board had met in the usual manner? How had the fact that the suc- cessful tenderers had withdrawn become known to one loc,al firm who tendered, and not to others? The Clerk (Mr. John Saer) replied that it probably became known through his sending out the agenda for the special meeting held on the previous Saturday. Mr. Mills did not object to the matter being put on the agenda in a general way, but to the details of the letter being disclosed. The details had got out in the town, and a privilege had been given one contractor above another. He was not entering his protest against the acceptance of any tender, but against the details of a communication being made known before it cam. before the board in the proper way. If thti thing occurred again he, as a member of the board, would at once rise to move a vote of censure. Mr. Jamei3 John (St. Clears) said he thought it was open to any member of the board to write to their clerk for information. Mr. Mills said the proper course would have been to communicate the details of the letter to the board for the first time on the Satur- day. Mr. John: I don't believe you, sir. We could not have treated with the matter unless we had it on our agenda. That is only quib- bling. (Laughter.) Mr. Mills: I am not quibbling. I am only st.ating what is the proper order of business. Mr. Thomas (Llanarthney) said he felt cer- tain that they exonerated their clerk of all blame. Mr. Mills was present at the last meeting, and it was quite competent for him then to make any remarks in regard to the matter. Mr. Mills, however, did not take any part in the discussion. Mr. Mills said that he wae exceedingly unwell on the previous Saturday, and got out of bed to attend the meeting when he was really unfit. Had he been in his usual health he would have taken part in the discussion. He did not blame anyone for what had happened. He did not blame the clerk even. The matter then dropped, though there had been promise of a stormy scene. Subject to the contract being signed and Mr. Davies entering into a bond, the guar- dians allowed the contractor to start work to-day (Monday).
TIRED OF LIFE AT FIFTEENI
TIRED OF LIFE AT FIFTEENI Many letters have been received by Mr. Plowden, t;he magistrate, and Mr. Kirby, the missionary, at Marylebone Police-court, with reference to the servant girl Amelia Foreman, aged fifteen, who was charged on Wednesday with attempting to take her life by jumping into the ornamental water at Regent's Park. She told the magistrate she did it because she had to leave her place and had nowhere to go. She was also understood to say that she had a drunken mother, but there is some doubt as to whether that is correct. The letters come from all parts, and contain all sorts of offers and suggestions for the girl's future welfare. Many of the writers offer her a situation; others offer to adopt her and provide her with a home. i One writer suggests that she should be sent j to Canada, whore her future would be assured, while another claims relationship, and expresses a willingness to employ he When, however, the girl is brought up on remand, the missionary will suggest to Mr. Plowden that she should be sent to a home at Brompton, where she will be thoroughly trained for service, and, when competent, sup- I plied with a complete outfit and found a. situation.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. LAST TWO WEEKS OF THE CARDIFF PANTOMIME. In spite of its emphatic success, the Cardiff I New Theatre pantomime, "Red Riding Hood." must finish its run on January 26, and the last two weeks are announced, Mr. Redford having made previous arrangements with other companies which it is impossible to alter. Red Riding Hood should not be missed, if only on account of the gorgeous soenery and dresses of the Butterfles' Ball" and the KiDg's Pageant," the latter eurpaesi-nig anything ever ee-en in Cardiff. The dresses representing England, Ireland, Scotland, a<nd Wales are most sumptuous and in perfeot taste. The artistes have made themselves great favourites, and have introduced several new sp ngs, dances, and business." On Saturday at both performances the theatre was crowded, numbers being unable to obtain admission. THEATRE ROYAL.— Her Forbidden Mar. riage."

It was stated that the penalty was L5 per day, and the total aocu- mulatod was JE710. Mr. Benson Harris admitted the charge, and when the Bench announced a fine of L15 including costs, asked if it could not be made lighter. The Mayor said he thought they had made it very light
REVOLT OF SAILORSI
REVOLT OF SAILORS I Marine Firemen -in Custody I At Liverpool Police-court on Saturday eleven marine firemen who had been arrested by the Mersey River police were brought before the stipendiary magistrate charged under the Merchant Shipping Act with com- bining to refuse duty on board the Welsfoid Line steamer Ikbal. Captain Matthew Robertson, master of the Ikbal, said two men who had signed on failed to ioin, and the eleven defendants told him they refused to go if he signed on the two substitutes he had on board. Patrick O'Brien (one of the defendants): I never refused to work. It was not my watch, and I was not asked to work. The Stipendiary: It is disobeying orders if you go to the captain and say unless those men are put on shore we won't go with you. O'Brien: I never said that. Jt was like tihie. Just listen. The Stipendiary: I won't listen. You have admitted that you refused to work witih these two men. O'Brien: You won't listen, eh.? That is justice in England. The Stipendiary then tturned to ap-otber defendant—Miicthael Sia-vin--an,d asked if he had anything to say. O'Brien: It's no use saying anything. You might as well shut your mouth, alT of yez. The Stipendiary: Put Patrick O'Brien below t on remand till Monday. I am not going to have a mutiny here. O'Brien promptly walked below to the cells, and tihe other defendants were remanded till to-day
