To-day (before Mr. Justice Bray) Davia Morgan (68); collier, look- ing- particularly spick and span, with grey hair and beard, was charged with the murder of Ed-ward Williams, familiarly known as New, a-t Seni,g-iic-nydd, on Boxing nIgh last year. The circumstances are of a sensational character. Early this morning: prisoner was briefly interviewed in his cell by his solicitor, :VIr. Herbert Samuel, Cardiff, who instructed Mr. St. John Franois-Wil.lia.ms for the dexence. According to Mr. Samuel, primmer was highly ratlfied at the efforts made in his behalf, and was sana-mire that the court would take a lenient view of his caee. In view, however, of a PoE6ible convection he urg?d UPQn Mr. Samuel to exert his influence to obtain an interview with his family—;t somewhat mime- rous progeny, for he 11a. been married twice and has had twenty-one children, of whom I fifteen are living.

On Boxing Day they had In the house a nine-gallon cask and a. rv bottle of whisky. In the afternoon mother element was introduced.

It was rather siguiflcant that one of the lodgers (Edmundej say, prisoner go to a drawer in the middle kitchen and take out a razor, which he put in his right-hand trousers pocket. About five o'clock in the afternoon Fdmunds went out, and did not return uiitu after the tragedy had occurred. The other lodger (Thomas), who was present all the time, would tell them that after tka priso-ne-r continually put his rigftt hand in the pooket where Edmunds had seen him seocrete the razor. Edmunds expostulated with prisoner about the possess!oil of the wea.pon, and made an effort to take it from him when prisoner s-id, "You go from here or you will have it." Coming to the actual occurrence of the crime, learned counsel said there were several people assembled—Ethel (prisoner s daughter), next to her Thomas (one of the lodgerc), prisoner's wife, and prisoner him- self, who was adjacent to the deceased The two kept "nagging" at each other, still re- calling their old fighting days. Three times "Williams pushed prisoner off his oh air, and it was in prisoner's favour that Willia.ms ":3.5 T>rovocative all the evening. The last time he was pushed off the chair prisoner paid to Williams, "If you hit me you shall have this" {meaning the razor). -Williams was sitting on the edge of the table, when prisoner suddenly jumped up. and, 0 Pulling Out the Razor slashed it a .cross the dead man's throat, inflicting injuries which resulted in death. De-eased caught hold of a shawl and made an effort to staunch the flow of blood, a.nd a doctor was sent for. Prisoner, who seemed to be in a state of frenzy, continued to brandish the razor. Thomas, becoming afraid, pushed Mrs. Morgan and her daughter out of the room, and then, turning to prisoner, he (Thomas) said, "You won't kill me, will you, David?" Accused tsaid. "Stand back," waved waved the razor in the air. and advanced towards Thomas. The latter, fearful of attack, picked up a chair, and with it knocked down the prisoner. The weapon fell cn the floor, where it remained for some time, until Albert Morgan, a son of the prisoner, came in and threw it under the grate. Prisoner said to Thomas, "I did not mean to do it." That, said learned counsel, was a matter for the jury, and he thought  there wm evidence of premeditation, or why shouJd prisoner have put the razor in hiysi pocket? I II THE EVIDENCE I N David John Thomas (haulier), the lodger to whom reference has been rmade. repeated the lurid details. He said the deceased was aged 38. and wad a lot bigger than prisoner On i Christmas Day Williams s?aid he could beat twenty men of prisoner's sort. When decea.sed made the allusion to prisoner s wife, prisoner said, "You can take her." lir. St. John Francia-Williams (to. witness): When prisoner said that he didn't mean to do it, did he also add that something came .>ver him?—Yes. When YOU struck him with the ohaar he began kissing and hugging you?-Yes. Williams did his best too aggravate and an n<)Y?-Yes. aTWhen h-e flourished the razor he looked wild?—Yee. Beside himself with passion.0 Deceased had a considerable reputation as a fighter?-Yee. And if they had fought this man (prisoner) would have been badly Witness, in reply to further questions, eaad that when deceased ma.de the remark about fais wife, prisoD-er told the woauaii to go out of the loom. William Edmunds, labourer, also a lodgei-, gave similar evidence, Baying there had been no quarrel between prisoner and his wife, When witness tried to take the knue from prisoner's pocket the, latter said, "Watoh yourself and get out." Williams could not see what prisoner was doing when he took the razor from the drawer. Ethel Morgan, pri&onors daughtor. oorro- borated as to the "wrangle" and its tragic climax.

Her fatli-ei- shaved himself, and usually carried his razor with Ilim Witness thougfct de-ceased was going to "make for" her father before the latter used the mm r M MEDICAL EVIDENCE!. Dr. Phillip James, Sengnenydd, sain on getting to the house on Boxing Night he saw I Williams lying in a pool of blood, with a curved wound on the left side of his neck 7:!m. long, 21in. deep in the deepest plaee, and lin. in its 9hallowee,t.. In the opinion of witness, it was a wound likely to have been caused by a razor and with the exercise of considerable violence. Witness put MYen stitches in the wound, and remained from 11.30 p.m. to two a.m. He called again in the middle of the day, when Williams was rational and said he felt better a little. At this time he lay on a table in the front room with apillow under his head, but on witness coming again just before two p.m. he lay on the floor. Death took place shortly after from exhaustion, following hemorrha-ge. Mr. Williams: You said at the inquest he had bled considerably by falling from the t.aMe?—No, I said he had bled considerably, ,14?r 'fr t. h C. but whether it was due to his falling off the table I could not say. The fall might have hastened his death. Do you remember signing at the police- oourt your evidence that he had bled con- oiderably by falling off the ta,ble?- I did not mean that. Do you think his arrival on the floor from the table would ea-use any bleeding?—I think it is possible it may. It is qnite possible that but for this fall be might have recovered ?-Ye-s. Witness added that he had (W <scd put on the table in order to examine him. He formed the opinion that there had been hemorrhage. This had produced a convul- sion, and in the c-onvulsio-n deceased had rolled off the table The Judge: You said it was possible but for this fall he might have recovered. What do you say about the probability? I thinlr it had some effect. A witness named Humphreys, who wit- nessed the fall from the table, said deceased was lying quiet till he asked him for a drink ??t of w a.ter. H? got the water, and then Wil- ?????N N liams rolled  ()in.a',)
CRIPPLE BOY'S FATE.
CRIPPLE BOY'S FATE. WIDOWED MOTHER RE-TRIED FOR MURDER. For the second time Mrs. Flora Fanny j Haskell (34), the Salisbury widow who is charged with the murder of her twelve-year- old cripple boy, entered the dock at the assize court, Devizes, to-day, to stand her trial, the jury who heard the case at the February assizes having failed to agree upon a ver- dict. The tragic d<: ath of the lad took place at hia mother's house, in Meadow-road, Salis- bury, on the nigfit of Saturday, the 31st of Ootober last, and the arrest of the mother followed two days later. Known lotjally as Teddy Huckell, the cripple, he was a bright and intelligent boy. About 10.30 on the night of the tragedy his mother rushed from the house proclaiming that her boy had been murdered by an unknown man. The victim was found in bed with his throat cut, and his money-box partially depleted. The accused woman's explanation is that wuile she in her kii/elxeji a man came runIliug downstairs, threw a blood-stained knife at her, and rushed from the hoit-e. The apparent motivelesaneae of the crime by whoever perpetrated has added greatly to the local and general iiileretft manifested in it. At the preliminary proceedings in connec- tion with the CM, both before the coroner a-nd the magistrMee, the accused wonian was obsessed with hysterical emotion. To-day she looked much oet-ter in health, u-ud waø by contrast wonderfully calm and composed. The cost of the defence was on the last occasion defrayed out ot a public fund, un this occasion iL is being largely borne uy Llle member lor Salisbury, Sir Edward Teiwiant. The prosecution was again conducted 0) Mr. Foote, K.C., with whom. was .\11'. T H and Mies, jtiaskell Was again represented by Mr. itayner (loddard. Mrs. slacked, who was wearing- a black costume, black toque, and black woollen H?k. smhed to a inal?e acquaintance on ",nwring the court. Mr. 'oote, in opening the case for the pro?et?ution, ?aid it wa.s in the interests 4i the d,?ience More than in the interests of the prosecution that he asked the jury to approach the catse as if tney heard of it for the first time. The ca<se was a diliioult one aii-ke for counsel and jury, dlMeult to appre- ciate fully by the jury until the cioise of it. The deceased boy, who had had a leg ampu- tated, nevertheless lived a happy life with his mother, who, the witnesses ali agieed, was a g-ood and affectionate mother to her bOD. Proceeding Gto recall the frequently- repeated narrative of the tra-gedy, Mr. Foote said that on the day of its occurrence Mrs. llaskell was seen by neighbours up 10 within three-quarcers of an hour of the boy's death, and she, to all appearance, was in au ordinary state of health, both of nana and body. About 10.20 a message boy eaiied a; Mrs. Haskell's houses She unlocked the door in answer to his knock, and to him there appeared to be nothing abnorina-1 in her con- dition, and there was no doubt that Teddy was then alive in bed upstairs. It was equally certa.in that before 10.30 probably at 10.25—the child had his throat cut in ted, and at 10.30 a lad, named Percy Noble, a cousin of deceased, came to the back-door and knocked twice. While waiting he heird what he called a bump, and then Airs. Has- kell, in an excited state, opened the door. She Hiked Noble to run for the police, say- i)lg, "Someone has killed my Teddy." The lad, of oourse, rail off for help. An appre- ciable time ela/psed, during which counsel suggested that the 'uirforturia.te womaiii washed the blood from her hands, and then Mni. Haakell appeared at the front door soreaminig in an incoherent way. It was sjigniflean't, said counsel, that heir first im- pulse, if the believed (someone had attacked her child was not to run upstairs to see him. Not for three-quarters of an hour later did rfie go upstairs. There could have been no danger in her going at once, for her story was that the man on coming downstairs threw something at her and ran out of the house. The crime v;a.s committed with a knife which belonged to the accused, and it was found bloodstained at the eill of the door between the passage and the kitchen. In trie kitchen a tablecloth, in an out of the way place, was found smeared with blood, while in the passage leading to the front door, along which she said the man rushed, there was not one spot of blood t,o be found. On her light blouse and dark skirt many spots of blood were discovered, nearly all of them on her right sleeve amid side. Her a,eOGuni was that the man threw the knife at her, but; expert witnesses declared the stains were totally incompatible with that theory. The knife, too, only made a stain where it was laid down, no splattering stain being dis- covered, though searched for. Counsel ssaid lie did not a/ttaeh much im- portance to the fact that the boy's money- box, which the woman said had contained XB 2s., was found with only L3 10s. in. it. It might suggest that robbery was the motive of the crime, but it was difficult to conceive that a stranger bent on robbery should have left the balance in the money-box. The money had been presented to the poor child for the purpose of buying an artificial leg. Tlie m,ain difficulty of the ease was that, it was impossible to suggest an intelligible motive on the part of the acou.-e(i for the crime. At the same time, it was ae difficult to suggest why a strang-e man should murder the Idtle boy for the money, of which he did not know the existence amd pan of which he didn't take. Murder in a.ny case must have been actuated by an abnormal motive, possible a frenzy or temporary mad- ness caused by brooding over the child's mis- fortune. The .i'ury must deal with the case on the facts alone, and these, he suggested, indicated that the mother was the author of the dreadful crime. Counsel read lengthy statements made by the accused to the police, in which she de- tailed the defence outlined above, alluding to what she called a sort of engagement that existed between a whip's steward and the aooueed. Mr. iFbote said it had no connection with the tragedy, the man having been at sea at the time of its omax- .Tenoe. A model of tihe house where the tragedy occurred having been produced, and plane attid photographe attested, Alfred Walter Noble, son of the accused's next door negih- boour, deposed that on the night of the trage-iy Mrs. Haskell, whom he saw on the street about a quarter to seven, told him .she was worried about a man, having called the previous night and lalsked for lodgings, which che refused him. She was then in her u.-ur.! -t-te of health amd mind. (Proceeding.)

YOUNG GIRL'S DEATH
YOUNG GIRL'S DEATH THE FERN DALE SENSATION I The adjourned inquest touching the death of Blanche Rogers, a spinster, of 52, T ff. street, Ferndale, who died under strange cir- cumstances on the night of February 14, wa-s held at Ferndale to-day. Mr. Clement P. Cadle (Cardiff) watched the proceedings on behalf of the relatives, and Mr. E. Sevan Thomas represented Dr. Datta. It will be remembered that Dr. Datta gave a certificate of death on the opinion of Dr. Huebeck, Cwmaman, that death was due to heart disease. This wa.s not accepted by Mr. R. J. Rhys, the coroner, who instructed Dr. Glanville Morris, Mardy, t-o moke a post- mortem examination. Having done so. cer- tain portions of the body were sent t-o Dr. Wilcox, M.D., analyst to the Home Office, for examination. The chief evidence now gi YED was that of Dr. Wilcox, who stated t.hat he had examined the contents of three jars conta.ining certain organs from the body, and. did not find any trace of blood poisoning. There could oe no doubt thHt, death was due to hemorrhage as the result of a premature birth. There were no traces of any instrument having been used. Thpre was no sign of any noxious drugs having been administered. The Co=r: If a. qualified man had been called in at three o'clock in the morning would it have been obvious to him what had occurred?—Yes, if he had made a complete and proper examination. Dr. Wilcox, continuing his evidence, said I that in all probability death ensued from shock, following on hemorrhage. Mr. Bevan Thomas: Might death not have boen the result of heart failure?—It might have been accelerated. The Coroner: We ail dlie of heart failure. The Coroner stated that Dr. Hnebc-ok mlllde the examination, and on his report the ocrti- ficate was given. isamin-ing ap, the Coroner s'aià that Falsehoods Had Been Told I b- members o £ deceased's family as to I what actually tooik place. mother rented how she went to bed on February 13 at ten o'clock, and Bla-ncae al-so retired soon after with her sister, JefSie. Mrs". Rogers at three o'clock on Sunday morn- uig lieai-d a peculiar noise from the sister's room, and weaat there. As the result of what she s«.w she sent for Dr. Datta, w,40 did no? go at once, but waited for h? assis- tant. who was ? student, and not qualia\;d. That se?m?d to be signiflcaut, Why did he nc-t go at once? The doctor on his arrival asked for brandy, and there was not any in the house, so he went out after three o'Olook in the morn.ing to get some. After taking two sips the young woman passed away. The police, hearing of the affair, i_ nvesti- gated the matter, and he (the coroner) had given special instructions to make a post- mortem examination. Had it not been for the information he had the body would have been buried. Death was undoubtedly due to an abortion, but whether it was procured or natural was for the jury to decide, and they must lemm'xr that the law of this country demanded the sltrictest proof of foul play. Allter retiring for half a,n hour the jury returned a verdict, in accordance with the evidence given by Dr. ANilcox. They stated jlwut they did not believe amy thing the falmily had said in evidence. They held the opinion that the birth took place in the parents' house, and the family were respon- sible for the proceedings. However, they would not go so far as to say that the mi,— hao was brought abou-t by unlawful means. Coroner and Parents The Coroner, addressing Mr. and MTS. Rogers and their daughter, severely censured them. They stood, he said, in the CYÐS of the jury and himself as of the worst description. There had not only been a, natural miscarriage, but a miscarriage of justice. Doctor A monished Addressing Dr. Datta, the Coroner admonished him for the part he bad tahen in the affair. He blamed him for not making a proper examination of the deceased. He (the coroner) was not aware whether Dr. Datt,a was present when the miscarriage took place, but it was quite possible. Ha.d he issued an accurate certificate and done his work in a proper way the inquiry need not have been held. He advised him to exercise greater caution in the future.

COMPENSATIAN IDISALLOWED.…
COMPENSATIAN DISALLOWED. I His Honour Judge Owen had before him at I Newipo-rt County-oourt to-day the compensa- tion case of Jones v. tihe Newport-Aberoarn Coal Company, in which a sum of £ 278 10s was claimed in respect of the death of a colder, earned James Jones, of 14, Celynen- terrace, Newbridge. Mr. Vaughan Williams (instructed by Mr. T. S. Edwards) appearea for the applicant; Mr. Parsons (instructed by Messrs. C. and W. Kens hole) was for the defendant company. The question was whether the accident, which occurred on Au?u&t 24, 1908, hM any t.race?ble associa- tion with the dMbth which took place on January 22, 1909. The man was a-ssi?ting to pepjiac? a tram <fn the line at the colliery and slipped, with tbe result tbat a rupture took place, which ultimately developed a I cancer in the abdomen. Dr. Evan Thomas, Dr. Gray, and Dr. Jones-Greer stated that it w.a. their opinion tba-t the accident at least developed the cancer, and, therefore, ■accelerated the death. For the respondents, Dr. Mareh said he thought the rupture in August, ha-d nothing to do with the develop- ment of the cancer, which in this case was very extensive, and must have been progress- ing for eighteen months or two years. Dr. Bartlett agreed with Dr. Marsh. His Honour found for the respondents.
THE BOTTOMLEY CASEI
THE BOTTOMLEY CASE Before the judge commenced to sum up to- day in the action against Mr. Bottomley, counsel for the plaintiff referred to Mr. Bot- tomley's statement that Sir George Lewis told him .he had investigated the facie of the charges made by Mr. Vincent Eyre against Mr. Bottomley and saw no ground for action in the charges. Sir George Lewis was called, and said Mr. Bottomley was mistaken in thinking witness told him he no ground for action by N ,fr. Eyre. Sir George said he told Mr. Bottomley tha.t Mr. Eyre cam- plained he had paid him the large auju of and fr. Bottomley replied Mr- Eyre had not paid tbaa. stun, but ha-d given bills a.nd was largely in Mr. Bot- tomley's debt. Witness repeated it wa,s not true to say he saw no ground for proceeding against Mr. Bottomley. He made no chaa-ge against him. Mr. Justice Lawranee then eutmmed up. Judgment was entered against Mr. Bottomley only for £ 956 5s., and judgment against Mr. Bottomley and the company jointly for JES75. Stay of execution on the usual terms was granted.

He had made an affidavit, and had handed over some 66 labels, twelve envelopes, and certain other documents, but, counsel submitted, he had not fully complied with the order, which required him to hand over all labels and printing matter bearing the name Gwilym Eva<ns or Gwilym Evans and James, and the whole stock of quinine bitters bearing the aame Gwilym Etvaais and Jarnep. Since the order the defendant had issued a circular headed, "Most astonishing experience." His Lordship said that he had road that Mi-. Hardy said that t,he defendant in his a.riida.vit (?aid that to re-place his stock of labels woaid cost him between £ 60 and P,70, a.nd counsel submitte.d that to hand over 66 labels of the larger ize and none of the smaller, twelve and ftve price-lists could not be a compliance with an order that requir,ed the defendant to hand over ?!1 labels bearing the off-enditig words, whether they related to Quinine Bitters or not. Correspondence 'had passed between the I)-artieo, and the defendant seemed to take up the position tha.t all he had to do was to hand over the documents mentioned in a certain a.J1idavit. The order was, however, specific, and counsel submitted that that order had not been complied with. ) Defendant produced a number of labels which he was using, and said he understood the previous order against him only applied to the particular labels of which plaintiffs complained. He did not think they objected to all the hundreds of labels th-a-t a chemist was obliged to use. His Lordship pointed out that the defen- da.nt bad been released from prison on an undertaking which he had not kept. He was so shifty that he never intended to oarry out his undertaking. He had behaved very badly, and wa", only ruining himself and his business by the course he was taking. The rJøfeondant offered to give up all the Aabels he ha.d. After further discussion, his Lordsbip adjourned the case until two o'clock on Mon- day on the defendant undertaking to remove the name Evarus from his premises in every shape and form, and to delivc-r up all infringing labels. If defendant satisfied the plaintiffs' solicitors that he had done so, then he need not attend the court on Mon- day, but he would have to pay all the owls of the motion in any event, as it wa.s a gross case. If he did not obey the order the defen- dant would, said his Lordship, probably have to go to prison for a considerable time.
40s. FOR A BLOW
40s. FOR A BLOW James Owen, sinker, Newport, was sum- moned a<t A-ber--arn to-day for assaulting Thomas Greenwood Llewellyn, a porter, in the employ of the Great Western Railway Company, at Crumi,in Low Leyel Staion, on February 19. Mr. T. Baker Jones, Newport, prosecuted. Llewellyn stated that he asked defendant for his ticket as be was leaving the station. He replied "Season." Witness asked to see his ticket, and, after a deal of persuasiou, he produced it. Witness turned round to the light to examine it, -ai)d whilst he wa" doing so the defendant s-tnwk him a violent blow on the right ear, which parLiaily dazed him. The Bench fined the defendant 40s.
WELSH DISESTABLISHMENTI
WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT I Notwithstanding the inability of the Prime Minister to name a day for the introduction of the Welsh Disestablishment Bill (stays the "Daily Telegraph") there is reason to believe that tile House of Commons will be in posses- sion of the proposals of the Govern m>T before Whitsuntide. Indeed, the Welsh Liberal members, with the knowledge of the Cabinet, have a committee busily engaged in drafting suggestions for the clauses of the measure. Meanwhile, the Royal Commis- sioners on the Church in Wales are meeting ev-cry day this week for the compilation of their report. Progress. however, is very slow, and the Commissioners are expected to adjourn over Easter, leaving their task in- complete. When the report is presented it will probably be found to embody the views of a clear ma.jority. but this end will only be att-ained by the elimination of muoh oon- troversiial matter. The document, therefore, is likely to prove rather colourless, but eom-e of the Commissioners will contribute sepa,ra,to reports, or memoranda, offering I strong and definite opinions.

"AT ELECTION TIME"
"AT ELECTION TIME" ALDERMAN'S VIEW OF WHAT IS PERMISSIBLE MORRISTON LIBEL ACTION Mr. Justioe Phillimore and a special jury at the Civil Court of Glamorgan Assize6 at Cardiff to-day resumed hearing the action brought by Alderman David Harris against Councillor David Jenkins and Alderman David Maitthews, in which plaintiff sought to recover dama-ges for conspiracy, libel, and slander. All the parties are members of the Swansea Corporation, and, as is now well known, the action arose out of state- ments published, made, and alleged at the last November election in the Morris ton ward, when Mr. T. E. Harris, broker of the plaintiff, opposed the return of Councillor David Jenkins. Counsel for plaintiff were Mr B. Francis- Williams, K.C., Mir. John Sankey, and Lord Tiverton (instructed by Mr. Frank Patteeon, .Swansea); for the defendant Matthews, Mr. J. A. Foots, K.O., and Mr. Villiers Mer; a-nd for the defendant Jenkins, hIr. Maj-shall liali, K.C., M.P., and Mr. Llewelyn Williams, instructing counsel for the defence were Messrs. R. G. Edwards and Bull, Swa.neea. Alderman Matthews, one of the defendants, again went into the witneee-box, and was farther crms-exaauiiied by Mr. B. Franeis- Wiliiams. Witness sa,id Mr. Harris told him he had not voted for Mr. T-irdley for the alderman- ship, although he agueeu to do so. and had voted for witE. That was in 1897. He tILough-t it unwise. Do you regard it as dishonourable now?— I did not consider it in that light. We were very friendly. When did you first think it was dishonour- able:' Some three or four years ago. That would be about 1906, when Mr. Harris boat you for the mayoralty?—Yes; that ioó &0. ?-Yes; ..hat M )?o. Mr. Francis- Williams: Yen stated the Clase- mont fields were acquired by the Harris lamily, and that they would have had a park for Morriston had it not been for Mr. Harris Is trick?—Yes; Mr. Harris an,d his family. Ko, nc. "If it had not been for Mr. Harris's trick." What did you mean by that?—I am convinced Ñlr. Harris knew of the acquisition. The Judge: Did he .prevent- you having the hark?—We would have had it were it not for the Harris family. Mr. Williams: What do you mean by Mr. Harris' triok?—I must have used the word iamily, I do not know The Judge: By triok I suppose you mean the trick of the Harris family ?-Y e:.s in acquiring the land. 3,,fr. B. What was the trick?—He started negotiations, having ob- tained knowledge of the intended acquisition of the fields. I Do you think you were justified the use of the word trick?—It was At Election Time I and 1 was justified in using the word. The fact of there an election justified the use of Language that is not correct?— That commenced with Mr. Harris. Mr. Williams repeated bis question. Witness: I say it does-a little exaggera- tion. That is the view you take of it now?—Yes. To cay what was untrue ?bout anybody?— My compJaint is not untrue. Ihe Jud?e: I?e.g an election justify you m saying what is not true?—No. What he M?nt bv ,Myin? the Mo-rr?ton peol?lt would ))e for a Park on the mercy of the i.ti,rris fatuily on terms was that Mr. Harris w'Û'ul<l have been able to claim all the credit for it. Pne Judge: So that the word terms means credit. Yes, as a public man. ■Vith reference to the issuing of the challenge for X260 by Mr. Jenkins, witness eaid the matter was arranged on a Sunday He did net dictate the challenge. He had no idea his letter waj, to be published in the pampiilet issued by Mr. Jenkins. The deposit note for £ 100 made by him with the Swansea Finance Company was on behalf of his sister, and was made at the sugg'eetion of Mr. Harris, who said he would give 8 per dent. He did not think it wa.9 dishonourable to int money into the finance company, although lie knew it was a money- lending company. Witness saw the pamphlet the day after it was issued, but he did not take the trouble at the time about correct- ing any mistakes in his speeches. He had net c)mmnnka,ted with Dr. WiMia.ms to know if there had been a ddscTje?ion between him and plaintiff regarding the drafting of the cookery ecaJe. Councillor Jenkins Called Councillor David Jenkins, the other defen- dant, was then called, and in answer to Mr. Marshall Hall stated tha.t he took the view that Mr. T. !R. Harris bad been put up to fight him at the la.st election as a matter of personal spite against witness. He did not moan t/o suggest that the extra payment made to Miss Harris as a' cookery teacher was due to ainy influence of Mr. Harris. Wha-t he meant by speaking of widows being struelk off the Voters' list i-ast year was that, as 1017. David Harris was the only overseer residing at Morriston, he expected to look for a proper list. He did not say Mr. David Harris -was responsible for the omissions of VOItes of persons who did not agree with him. Witness did not think that a moneylender was a clean busi- ness for a man who was on the oouncil. IVh-en he said it would be well for the town if Mr. Harris's attendances at tihe council were not so frequent, he referred to tho string of his family in the public service, and also that he charged heavy expenses when he went away on corporation business. Witness did not give instructions for the inclusion of Alderman Matthewe's letter in tjie pamphlet which he published. Thaft was done by a friend of his, but he accepted the responsibility. He confirmed Alderman Matthews's version regarding the issuing of the challenge. The writ was closely examined by Mr. B. Francis-Williams, K.C. He denied having said that Mr. Harris had something to do with the widows having their votes taken away, but lie attributed this negligence to the overseers. He suggested that Mr. Harris was not a clean business man. Did you mean that Mr. Harris went to the council for motives of -elf-interest?-I did not say 00. The Judge: It is not what you staid. Did You mean it?-No, my lord. Witness gave a similar answer to another question, when his Lordship, with emphasis: You ai-e a gentleman, an alderman of one of the most important towns in Wales, and you must not get yourself into this serious trouble. You have been told over and over again when you are asked what you mean you must not say, "I have not said so. You are giving a very bad impression to the jury if you go on mairing that answer.. Continuing, witness sa-id he did not mean tha,t Mr. Harris attended the council regu- larly to get on to deputations, but it was his opinion that it would have been better for the town if Mr. Harris did not go on | deputations. In addition to being a. grocer, witness was a shareholder in the Morriston' Tin-plate Works. Mr. Matthews had never lent him money before this election. Witness heard Mr. Morris say at one meeting that Mr. Harris sometimes soared in the upper regions, but always came down as a vulture on poor families, and he published the speech .in his pamphlet. Did you think it was true?—Yes, I did. Did you make any inquiries that would justify you in publishing that statement?— No, I did not. I founded my belief on what I had seen in some newspapers. When wijtn-esks pointed his challenge, he said, he meant the puibli eto understand that the Harris family had prevented the public from getting the fields fl&r a park. He did so on general rumour. (Proceeding.)

Compensation Appeal
Compensation Appeal JUDGE BRYN R03ERTS'S AWARD REVERSED The hearing was resumed in the Court of Appeal to-day of the appeal of a workman, named Thomas, -from an order of Judge Bryn Roberts, sitting at Swansea County- court, in the case of the Upper Forest and Weston Steel and Tin-plate Company (Limited) b. Thomas. It was an appeal from the county-court judge, who. upon renewing an agreement to pay compensation, had decided that no compensation should be pay- able after a certain date in December, 1905. It was desired to have the rulintg- of the court as to the jurisdiction of the county- oourt judge in cases of thos deserintion. Thomas was employed at the steel and tin- plate company's work on March 15, 1907, when he met with an accident, a piece of an old boiler falling upon a-nd breaking his leg and injuring him in other ways. He was incapacitated, and and on the 6th of April the employers agreed to pay him JE1 per we,k during incapacity or until (the amount was reviewed, but they ceased to make payments on the 27th cf December. 1907. Then a certificate was given by a medical man saying that the man had recovered as to his leg. The employers then asked a medical man to examine the work- man, and he stated that Thomas v.-as not then incapacitated from following his employment. On the 29th of May the em- ployers wrote to Thomas saying they did not Intend to make any further payments. Sub- sequently the workmen's solicitor wrote a eking for payment of arrears of compen- sation, aind the employers replied that on the doctors' import they did not intend to make any further payment. The workman's solicitor then applied to the county-court judge to file a memorandum, and the judge ordered the agreement to be renewed. effect waa that it operated as a judgment, and Thomas appealed. When the case was last before the court it was directed to stand over for the pro- duction of the full written agreement. UThis was now produced, and Mr. J. Eidon K.C., on behalf of the workmen, challenged the jurisdiction of -the county-court judge, who had held that the workman since the 7th of January, 1908, was not entitled to any cjmpaneation as from January 8 of the same year. MT. Olavell Salter, K.C.. submitted that the oouiiity-court judge had jurisdiction to do what had been done in their caae, aDd that it was t,he intention of the Aot to create a sort of flexible maohinoery between employer and employed, so that compensation could be adjusted according to a mam's capacity. There was nothing in the Act, to limit the jurisdiction of the county-court judge. In the result the lords justices allowed the appeal.
Glamorgan Assizes
Glamorgan Assizes CROWN COURT (Before Mr. Justice BRAY TO-DAY.) PROVED HIS INNOCENCE. The part-heard case wa.s Tesumed against Jeremiah Keardon charged with assaulting a small boy, named James Tucker, at Mer- thyr. Mr. Raymond Allen (instructed by Mr. J. F. Thomas) wais for the prosecution. The case was adjoiwned yesterda.y for the production of further evidence on beh-alf of the prisoner, who made the declaration that he was" as innocent as the man in the moon." It was largely a question of identifi- cation, and there was little need for pri- soner to deny the imput-ataon that he was a I Spaniard and to proudly proclaim his Irish nationality, for his brogue betrayed him. Prisoner was promptly found not guilty and discharged.

This col- liery is now opening out, and a dispute seems to have arisen owing to the delay in the settlement of the cutting price list. The masters submitted a price liet to the men some time ago, but this the men refused to accept. The matter was then, referred to the Conciliation Board, and two reprtvscn tati vas on oeaoh side were ohowen to settle the matter, but it is supposed that tlhe men have handed in notices with the object of hurrying a »i.tt4ement.
