HEROISM OF PEACE I Dr. Evans Darby, speaking at the autumnal conference of the Peace Society at Notting- ham yesterday, said that the sermon on the Mount might be regarded by some as embody- ing an ideal bey-ond attainment to-day. Self-sacrificing love was more effective than Dreadnoughts, but who would dare to offer that idea, to the nation in relation to its foreign policy? Who would risk radicule by preaclling it as practi- and peace had its heroism as well as war.

Face Accidents in Mines RECOMMENDATIONS OF C0MM!SSj&N An important, though "highly technical, report has been issued as a Blue Book by the Committee appointed by the Royal Commis- sion on Mines to inquire into the cause of and means of preventing accidents from falls of ground, underground haulage, and in shafts. This Committee, appointed in- January, 1908, and composed entirely of mining engineers, especially inspected 31 collieries for the purposes of the investiga- tion, in addition to three others which had been earlier visited. The co-llier-ies selected were in Flintshire, Edinburgh, Lanark West, Northumberland. Durham, Yorkshire, Lanca- shire, Nottingham, Leicestershire, Stafford- shire, Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire. Gla- morgan, and Carmarthenshire. In a statement of deaths from various causes underground during the last decennial period in mines coming under the Coal Mines Regu- lation Act, it is shown that those due to falls o.f ground far outweigh those caused by underground haulage or in shafts, the average proportions beingFalls of ground, 57.8; haulage, 22.6; shafts, 8.8; and other causes, 10.8. The conclusions of the Committee respect- ing supporting of roof and sides at the face are many in number. In the course of them the Committee say: "The working of long wall faces in straight lines and at an angle with the cleat should be practised wherever possible as making for safety. The point chiefly aimed a.t in laying out and conduct- ing all long-wall working, in so far as safety conditions are concerned, should be the even a-nd regular settlement of the roof weight on the packs, or scjuieeze as it is generally termed, and there can be no douibt that the building of well-constructed packs at regular intervals, i.e., the regnlar spacing of the gate roads, greatly conduces to the fulfilment of this desirable object. The closer and better built the packs and the closer the storing of the goaf the safer the face conditions. The I necessity of setting temporary supports under dangerous cover in cases of emergency, even if the foothold for the prop is not a very secure one, has been strongly impressed upon us. NEED FOR MORE FREQUENT INSPECTIONS. I The Committee set out a number of require- ments which should be considered in framing special rules for timbering in coal mines, and lay special stress on the. clear interpretation of the word "face," this term being differ- ently defined in different mining districts. The Committee suggest some specified dis tance back from the "coal face" in the gate roads might meet the difficulty. They think there is need for more thorough and frequent inspection of working places. They find that in many instances all the separate gateways or other ro-ads about the face are not included in the inspection, though such is clearly required by General Rule 4 of the Coal Mines Regulation Act. I In South Wales. I The Committee, in dealing with thetr I inspection of South Wales collieries, where some of the deepest seams in the kingdom occur, found many important features which required consideration. In the first place, the irregularity of the line of the face and its slow rate of advancement were facts which made for danger, in that the reg-u- larity of the roof pressure was affected. The packs, moreover, were in many instances not as well built as they might be. If the goavof were packed tighter and timber could be withdrawn, the settlement of the strata would be more even, the face conditions would be improved, and accidents in conse- quence reduced. A special inspection was made of the Bushey Seam in Glamorgan on account of the great frequency in the occur- rence of "bell stones." These masses of atones, which were a great source "of danger, were more frequent there than in any other seam which the Committee visited. The only safeguard lay in close timbering and in the use of lids with the props. During the last twenty years there had only been three fatal accidents in this colliery, one of which was dtje to a bell stone." The Committee com- mended the practice of holding competitions in timbering, which was a common feature at local shows in South Wales, as being con- ducive to efficiency and safety, in that it engendered greater expertness and care among the men. Alleged Partisanship by an Inspector; Mr. Thomas Richards will to-day (Wednes- day) ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that the miners of the Llanhilleth Colliery allege that the chief mines inspector for the Western Division informed the Llanhilleth colliery manager that the workmen had reouested him to visit the colliery, and that. he also acted in a partisan character with respect to a dispute between the management and the workmen at that colliery; and will he issue instructions to the mines inspectors tfoa/t they must treat communications received from the miners respecting the safety of the mines as confidential, and refrain from giving any expression of opinion upon 1 matters in dispute between the employers I and workmen."

I Cardiff Divorce Suit THE KINC'S PROCTOR INTERVENES I GRANGETOWN INCIDENTS In the Divorce Court to-day (.before the President, Sir John Bigham) the case of Higgins v. Higgins and Minor (the King's Proctor intervening) was resumed. This (as repo rted yesterday) was a case in which Mr. Joseph Henry Higgins, 3, pilot, living at Cardiff, had obtained a decree nisi for the dissolution of his mar- riage with Eliza Ann Higgins, agabi-st whom he had alleged misconduct with a Mr. John Minor. The King's Proctor intervened, and asked the court to rescind the decree, alleg- ing that Mr. Higgins had treated his wife with cruelty, a.nd had misconducted himself with a woman named Annie Banbury, who had lived in Bedwas-street. The petitioner denied these allegations. MI. Gill, K.C., and Mr. W. 0. Willis appeared for the King's Prootor, and Mr. Barnard, K.C., and Mr. Bay- ford (instructed by the London agents of Mr. Evan Davies, of Cardiff) for the petitioner. Mrs. Rachel Chick, who had had ap.art- ments in tie house occupied by the peti- tioner and his wife in Paget-street in 1892, gave evidence as one of the King's Proctor' s witnesses in reference to the allegation of cruelty against the petitioner. She described am incident when she said she heard a com- motion between tiie petitioner and his wife. All at once, she said, she saw the wife rush from the stairs and her husband after her. Mrs. Higgins must have got up from her bed, for she was only partly dressed. He "Downed" Her said the witness. He struck her on the back and shoulders with a poker. Then he picked up a. chair and hit her over the head and shoulders with it, breaking the chair with tihe force of his blow. Witness got the chair and the poker from him He called her a drunken thiiug and things like that. She ran olft of the house and "fell into some lime and when she came back she was white with the lime all over. Higgins said he had put the drink in him purposely to finish her. He said he intended to finish her. The police came and persuaded him to leave her alone. When they had gone, he picked up a knife and he also picked up the poker again and witness took it from him. v When he had the knife in his hand he moved towards her in a threatening way; she went into the scullery out of his way. What sort of language did he use?-Not a sober man's language. He lifted the poker as though he was going to strike her again. I took it from him. He said he would finish her that night. I have seen "her under the influence of drink, but she was not that day. A Steady Woman Catherine Elizabeth Smithyman. living in Oakley-street, Grangetown, wife of a marine engineer, examined by Mr. Willis, said in 1838 she was living in Frederick-street and Mrs. Higgins came and lodged at the house with her three children. She was then receiving 15s. a week. She was a very straightforward woman, and witness had nothing to say against her at that time. She sept the children as well as she could. The President: The question is whether the husband was guilty of cruelty, and not whether the wife attended to the children properly. Mr. Willis: And whether she was a steady woman. Witness said that at that time Mrs. Higgins was a steady woman. The President: You are telling me a story o fwhat happened a quarts? of a century ago, and I have very great difficulty in plac- ÜtJ" reliance upon the evidence of what occurred so long ago. Mr. Willis: Th& King's Proctor can only place the evidence before yor. The President: The best piece of evidence was that of the witness Chick, who spoke to the assault with the poker. If that was true, it was an assault of a serious character which no drunkenness on the part of the woman would justify When do you say this woman took to drink? Mr. Willis: In 1281 or 1892. The President: And I suppose like most of such unfortunate creatures, instead of getting better she got worse? Mr. Willis said that he was told she had become a steady tfttman. The President: Has she been put into any sort of ho Hie? Mr. iWilis: Not that I know of. The President: What is done when people are found by the magistrates to be habitual drunkards? There was an idea at one time that homes were to be found for them by the station. Mr. Willis: I think now under the Habitual Drunkards' Act the husband can only get relief to the extent that he is not bound to live witli- the woman any longer, but he is bound to make provision for her. The President: I remember when I was on the common law bench it was found that there were no places to send them to, and they had to go FROM THE DOCK TO THE STREET. I rue witness continuing, said that at Christmas, 18S8, she heard a disturbance, and on going into the room she found Mrs. Higgins on the floor, and Mr. Higkins holding her by the throat and striking her on the face. Blood was conlitbg from, her mouth. Witness took hor away. She was not under the influence of drink at the time. Replying to the Judge, the witness said they used to quarrel a good deal. The President: Were there faults on both sides? Witness: I do not know that there was any fault on Mrs. Higgins's part. The President: Then she was never in fault ? Witness: So far as I know. I found her str aightfoirward. The President: He was a very bad hus- band? Witness: lie did not do the thing that was might. The Presidon-t (to counsel): You, know thds evidence is too good. I cannot believe that this woman was never in fault. Witness said that on one occasion Mrs. Higgins had some money in a Ra e" or a lottery. She paid threepence for the ticket, and won a bottle of wine and a bottle of whiskey. t Mr. Higgins came home after the ratlieand went into the room where Mrs. Higgins was. The bottles were broken, and witness heard screaming. She went into the room and saw .Mrs. Higgins lying on the floor with the baby in her arms. Mr. Higgins was kneeling on her chest and striking her in the face, and she was black in the face. The broken -bottles were in the fireplace. Mr. Higgins said, Look here, she has been spending her money in drink. Mrs. Higgins told her that her husband had struck her with one of the bottles, Witnes3 had also seen him kick his wife. She had also, on another occasion, seen him beating her. He struck her on the face with a stick, and lin-ocke-d her down several times. Replying to the Judge, witness said she never knew anything good about Mr. Higgins. PRESIDENT AND HUMAN NATURE. The President: What I cannot tolerate is this persistent at,t-ack on this man and the inability of the witnesses to see a grain of decency in him. I do not believe it. Human beings a. re. not of that kind. They have some good iti them, everyone of them. Mr. Willis: I suppose they have. The President: Aocordisnig to these wit- nesses he is a brute, and. never anything else. By pressing the case against him in such a way they make me diisti-ust what they say. Mr. Willis: I daresay the witnesses on the other side will be the same. The President: I daresay they will do exactly the same. (Laughter.) M'aiy J. Hillier, awther witness, spoike to an occasion when she, *-i-id Mrs. Higgins came running into heT house looking white and frightened. (Proceeding.) YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS 1 Mr. lilli, X.C., in opening the Kings Prootor's case, said the decree nisi was granted by Mr. Justice Bargrave Deane in March, 1907. At the time the respondent was living in a humble position, and supporting four children on 18s. a week, which the husband allowed her under a magistrates' order. When the case was heard she was not in a position to take part in it, but she pnt in simply a denial. Aooording to the case presented to Mr. Justice Deane, the marriage took place on the 24th of May, 1883, at Oar- diff, and there had been nine children. The husband's case was that the wife gave way to drink, that in 1903 her drinking habits were so bad that he took out a summons against her, and she was found to be an habitual drunkard, and the magistrates granted a separation, he allowing her 18s. a week. Then it was alleged she had committed misconduct. After the decree the King's Proctor made inquiries, which led to his interwiiitaon. It was now alleged that the petitioner had treated his w.ife Whh persis- tant brutality, and had assaulted her over amd over again. She had had to rush out of the house half-clothed at night to seek the assistance of neighbour s, and one wit- ness, a police-constable, would speak to having seen thd petitioner assault his wife. About that time he was passing a good deal of his time with a woman of ill-repute. Somewhere about 1887 he sold up the furniture, which the wife claimed was her property. They then went to live in James- street, and witnesses would speak to the life petitioner bheo led. In 1887 or 1888 he seemed to have commenced his visits to Annie Banlrary-vdiu c+odrwa^etjeet, who. afktasssed 111m uy ins christian name. and when he was there drink was sent for. The visits went on for a considerable time, and during that time he was committing assaults upon his wife. In 1888 the wife was expecting a child, and was in great difficulty with regard to money. The guardians allowed her 5s. a week. About that time a neighbour spoke to the petitioner about the condition of his wife. At the time he was playing skittles at a public-house, and he told her to "Go to He was summoned by the guardians, and he promised to allow his wife, from whom he was then separated, 15s. a week They subsequently lived together again in Frederick-street. Counsei referred to the evi- dc-cce which he proposed to call with regard to the alleged misconduct by the petitioner, and said the final separation was in 1903. The President suggested that the King's Proctor should call his evidence first as to the alleged misconduct, and then, if he proved that, the case as to the cruelty need not be gone into. Emily Chinn, wife of Thomas Chin'n, second engineer on a steamer, living in Cairns-street, Cardiff, said she formerly lived in Bedwas- street. She had done work for Annie Hanbury, who was, she said, at the time leading an immoral Jife. She had seen Mr. Higgins visit the house on several occasions. Annie Hanbury called him Joe." She had Feen him come down to breakfast in his shirt and trousers. She had seen him there ten or a dozen times. Sarah Ann O'Shea, another witness who had lived in Bedwas-street, Cardiff, said that she had seen men drive up to Annie Han- bury's house in hansoms. Mr. Gill: Oh, there are hansoms in Cardiff? Witness: Yes. Witness said the rent of the house was 6s. 2d. weekly. She had seen Mr. Higgins at the house. The President: Do you see him now in court? Witness: He is there (pointing to the solici- tors' seat). His sideboards have been shared off since then. (Laughter.) On one occasion, said witness, she and Mrs. Gibbon and another woman saw Mr. Higgins ride up to the house on ,his bicycle. Mrs. Gibbon shouted, "Turn him out! He is a married man. Or else we will fetch his wife." When you shouted did Annie Hanbury come and speak to yon?—Yes. She said, "I pay the rent of this house, and I can have who I like in it. It is nothing to do with you." We began to hoot her then. Louisa Morgan, wife of a ooaJ-trimmer living in Eisteddfod-street, said she' had seen Mr. Higgins go to the house. Counsel: Do you see him now? Witness: Yes, he is over there. He looked more like a tailor then than he does now He looks a gentleman now to what he was then. (Laughter.) The President: Do you mean to say it is impossible for a tailor to look like a gentle- man? (lAugbtter.) Mr. Barnard, replying to the President, sadd his client denied the cruelty, and could call witnesses to support his statements. He denied that, he had ever visited Annie Han- "bury in Bedwas-street, or committed miscon- duct. A statement made by Mrs. Gibbon was read. She said she had seen Mr. Higgins visit Han- bury. who had described him as her brother. Witness and other women threatened to mob him on one occasion when he visited the house. Mr. Thomas Williams, relieving officer, and Mr. John Pritchard, warrant officer at Cardiff, gave evidence that Mrs. Higgins became chargeable to the union in 1888, being desti- tute. Rose Payne, wif; of James Payne, living at Grangetown, spoke to an occasion when she said Mrs. Higgins had had to leave the house at night because, she said, her husband had been hitting her. Witness once saw him about to strike her., James Elliott, formerly in the police force at Grangetown, said that when Mr. and Mra- Higgins were Jiving in Clive-^treot in 1892, at half-past ten o'clock one night Mrs. Higgins complained to him. Her face was bleeding. She went to the foot of the stairs, and there Mr. Higgins gave her a blow and knocked her down. Witness also spoke to other occasions when he had witnessed acts of violence. He had not seen Mrs. Higgins under the influence of drink. Witness said he advised them both to turn over a new leaf," and they did so, and joined the Baptist Church. The President: What had the wife done that she should turn over a new leaf?— Nothing that I know. The further hearing was adjourned.

"Dear Little Sou I" I BABY FARMING ALLEGATIONS I Frederick Chalkor, an engineer, and his wife, Ada Chalkier, Tooting, were brought up on remand at the South Western-court yes- terday charged with neglooting and exposing several ba,bie-s obtained by them. from people throughout the country for fee. Dr. Hagh Stanley Revell, Southfields, said he was called last month to see the infant son, aged four months, of a young woman named Moore. The ohfld was mere skin and borne. Mr. Edward Oarr, coroner for Kent, pro- duced the depositions he took ae an inquest om another child, named Stacey, last month. In this case the mother, a Son.thall girl, said she advertised for someone to take her baby boy. The female prisoner replied, and she called at their house and agreed to pay L5 for the adoption of the child. She paid L3 down and agreed to pay another L2 wSen she could afford it. A few days 1a.ter she received a wire that the child was dead, and a letter sugtnoetir.g- she should state at the inquest that they were paid 5s. a week and that the baby was well cared for. Mrs. Oltalker added: — Dear little soul, he is better off, thank the Lord! Be sure and not say you paid £3 down, or we shall both get into trouble. Mary Wood, who shared the same house with prisoners at Penge at the time. said that when she asked Mrs. Chalker why she did not call for help when the child had its alleged fit, the woman replied, I don't believe in bringing a child back to life when it is half dead." Mr. Chalker said, We had a case in Australia through putting a child on the cold stones, and got off fairly well at the inquest." The female prisoner here called the wit- ness "a liar. Witness said the baby la,y dead in a cradle in a room destitute of furniture, and Mrs. Chalker said it had had a hearty supper of Pat-a-cake" biscuits, and a bottle of milk in the morning. Witness afterwards saw three other children. One, about eighteen months old, was running about, and the others, aged about nine months and three months respectively, lay in a cradle in the open air. When witness remarked how quiet the babies were Mrs. Chalker replied, Yes, they're too young to cry." Dr. Wa.ke, of Wandsworth Infirmary, said one of the children rescued from the house was suffering from extreme atrophy, from improper feeding, bronchial catarrh, and a swollen thigh, following a green stick frac- ture. Of three other children admitted, one was suffering from abdomiiLal tuberculosis, another from whooping-cough, and the third from bronchitis. The hearing was further adjourned.

LONDON MEDICAL DEGREES Sir W. Collins has asked the Prime Minister whether he has received any com- munications from or on behalf of the medical schools of London in regard to the standard of the medical examinations for degrees of London University, and whether he would state tb nature of such communications, and what action, ,if any, he proposed to take in regard to them. Mr. Asquith states, in a written reply:—I have received communica- tions from the delegates of the London medical schools and other bodies of the character referred to by my bon. friend, and I have forwarded them to the president of the Royal Commission on the London Univer- sity.

BAD WEATHER FOR FLIGHTS Bomeaster, Weduesclay.-The weather here is wretchedly bad this morning. Rain is falling heavily, and the wind is quite high. For the pneeent there is no prospect of a resumption of the competitions, but the indomitable Mr. Cody says that he will do a few flights across the course, just to give the public a look in. All the machines were in the sheds up to half-past ten this morning, but Oody's engine could be heard whirring a.nd whizzing in readiness for flight. He says that before leaving Done-aster he hopes and expects to become a British sub- ject. He declares that he would have flown long ago only he was prevented by financial conditio'ns. It was only after a three years' struggle, he says, that he got the British War Office to take up the subject of his ma,n- lifting kites, and three weeks afterwards they were dumbfounded at wha.t the kite could do. He was kept in the background for years. "But," he says, "my man-lifting kite is the only success of its kind all over the world. I know what I can do, whether I do it in Doncaster or anywhere else. It will be my misfortune if I do not do it here, for Done aster is the first place to realise that my aeroplane services have been of any value. I was offered J.2,0C0 to come to Doncaster, and I came here, but, as far as money goes, that was not good judg- ment, for I could have got £ 3,003 for going elsewhere, but I kept my word and came to Doncaster, though I was told that whatever Doncaster sued me for would be paid; but Blackpool was too late." Mr. Cody speaks in a very friendly way of the French apd Belgian aviators, and says that whatever reception we give them here it cannot be better than that which he him- self received in France. It has been arranged that on the first suitable day the aviators will fly in a body to Retford. Early in the day of the aerial trip the members of Doncaster Corporation will be aroused, pro- bably at seven a.m., and conveyed in motor- cars to Retford. Then when the aviators arrive they will entertain the corporation to luncheon.

BLACKPOOL MEETING Rain descended for hours, and the wind blew a hurricane at Blackpool, last night. Early thi smoraing the velocity of the wind was 30 miles an hour, and the outlook was not hopeful for the thousands who poured into Blackpool for the purpose of being present at th) meeting. At seven o'clock nobody thought that there was the slightest ehance of the aviators getting out in their maohines. Later, however, matters improved. It became less boisterous, and the sun made a feeble attempt to break through the rain- laden clouds. The white flag was hoisted at 10.15, giving the welcome signal that flying would probably take place. The drenching downpour had, however, played havoc with the aerodome. At daybreak it was a perfect quagmirer-pools of water wore dotted all over the vast expanse, and the ground every- where waF sodden. We shall never get the machines across this unless we have the sun, and that pretty soon, too." remarked a mechanicien to a press representative. Hundreds of workmen a,re engaged in dig- ging channels to carry off the water. The great aeropla-ne sheds had suffered during the night. The rain had been driven through the interstices of the somewhat slenderly constructed buildings. Tarpaulins were thrown over the machines for protec- tion, 'but in some cale-s it was of little use, as the wet had got through sufficiently to drench the canvas and to make them well- night unmanageable.

Boxing Matches CONDEMNED BY NONCONFORMISTS The annual meetings in connection with the Welsh Baptist Union were continued at Noddfa Baptist Chapel, Treorky, on Tuesday, when the greater part of the business of the conference was disposed of. The Rev. T. E. Williams; Newtown (the vice-president), was in the chair. Principal Edwards proposed a long resolu- tion relative to public morals, in which par- ticular reference was made to the recent boxing marches. In effect, the rev. gentle- man's resolution was that the conference greatly deplored the continued prevalence of many evilsJ such as drunkenness and gamb- ling, and noted especially with deep disgust and intense sorrow the increasing interest and the amazing popularity" among a largo" section of the oommunity of degrading sports such as pugilism, the effect of which mast be most demoralising, especially to the YOuth of the country." It brought about a low ideal when the exponents of this brutal art" were lifted into the category of heroes, and when the gruesome and repulsive details" of the fights were chronicled at inordinate length in bold type and in the most prominent columns of the secular press, and the effect must be the creation of low morals and the arousing of the worst Passions. The resolution further called for more stringent laws to deal with various evils entire Sunday closing and looal veto, as well as the enforcement in every locality of the Children Act, which, it was feared, was not adopted in many dis- tfists; the raising of the age of protection of girls from sixteen to eighteen, if not twenty; the making of gambling illegal any- where and everywhere, not only in the streets, but in high places; and the repression of Pugilistic exhibitions as being dangerous to the well-being of society. The conference also called upon th", owners of halls (such as that at Mountain Ash) to forbid their use for the purpose of boxing. Principal Edwards added that it was to be fervently hoped that these sports, which, he said, degraded WTales, should be banished, and that Wales should yet remain to be the most Christian country on the face of the earth, and not the home of Continental Sun- days and the battleground of pugilism. The resolution was carried amidst applause. Another Protest At the quarterly meeting of the Oongrega- tionalists of North Glamorgan, held at Tabor Chapel, Gefn Coed, near Merthyr, on Tuesday, the Rev. J. Sulgwyn Davies (Aberdare) pre- sided. The Rev. W. Evans (Merthyr) proposed a resolution strongly condemning the public boxing contests which take place at Merthyr, Mountain Ash, and other plac-es as being bar- barous and brutal, their direct tendency being to excite the lower passions of both partici- pants and spectators, and to degrade and encourage a pugilistic spirit, which was opposed to every virtue; and calling upon the Churches to make every effort to counteract the evil influence of those exhibitions, and also to administer discipline in the case of those members of the Churches who gave their attendance at them. The Rev. Grawys Jones, in seconding the proposal, thought an appeal ought to be made to the newspapers not to publish reports of boxing contests. The Rev. J. B. Davies (Aberowmboi) believed that enthusiasm for boxing contests was on the wane, and the Rev. J. Jones (Miskin Mountain Aeh) expressed a similar opinion, and said that the two last public boxing contests at Mountain Ash had been failures. The resolution was adopted, and it was agreed to make an appeal to the newspapers not to publish reports of boxing contests.

BU LLOOKS RUN AMOK Two bullocks which were being driven yes- terday from Greenwich to Lee caused great excitement in Lewiaham and district The animals became frightened, and raced down the slope at a rapid pooe. Some road- sweepers tried to stop them, but the bullocks turned and jumped over a fence and aligrhted in the front garden of a villa. They dashed along the gardens of several houses, taking the fences as they went. One of the animals alighted on a mailcart from which a baby had just been taken. The agility of the animals was surprising. On reaching Stand- field Lodge they gained the roof of a oorru- gra-ted iron building and .sprang into the garden, in which they wore penned by a high fence. After some time they were got under control.

FUN OVER PIGS The Cardiff Property Committee to/lay engaged in discussion on the aesthetic topic of swine, and the probability of a decrease in their number for marketable purposc.s. Sir W. S. Crossman presided o\e rthe delibera- tion, explaining the great decrease in the number of pigs sold at Roath market, as compared with a few years ago. Mr. Rees (market inspector), explained that it was chiefly due to the regulations of the Board of Agriculture, which did not permit of a pig being kept within 50 yards of a house or road. The breders of pigs in Wales were the work- ing classes, most of whom, since the introduc- tion of the regulations, had been compelled to abandon pig-keeping. Another factor was that the committee had permitted a notice to be put up in the market announcing that the mental hospit.al committee ha-d pigs for sale at Whitchurch. (Laughter). Mr. Rees said tha notice a.s to the "mental hospital committee," in bold letters at the front of the pen reserved for pigs, made the brothers merry. The committee seemed to relish the joke as much as the butchers, for they laughed unrestrainedly. It was also elicited that the pigs are escorted to slaughter in a cart on which is inscribed the words "Mental Hospital Committee." and Mr. Sydney Jenkins, putting Mr. Morgan Thomas in the cart, so to speak, facetiously asked if the name of that gentleman was i nthe doleful equipage.

SAVED BY A POLICEMAN I shout-ed for help, and if the policeman hadn't come on he would have finished me." So said Edward Lewis, an Aoercynon collier, at Oa-rdifF Poilice-couirt to-day in prosecuting James Ledwick (22) for a&SaultÜlg, him in lia,ve-lan,e. Prosecutor, who has a deformed hand, alleged that on Saturday night the man suddenly came up to him struck him in the face, and kicked him on the chest. Witness was unable to fight, so j sAouted, and when Merit-constable George Jones came up he found Eeawick on top of prosecutor, who was in the mud. The prisoner was brought up on Monday, but prosecutor was then too ill to appear. Mr. E. Thomas (chairman) described it as a most cowardly, unprovoked assault, and the prisoner would have to go to prison for a month.

I'LL MARK YOU FOR LIFE!" Henry Johnson (201. an American, WaÆ charged at Cardiff to-day on a. warrant with assaulting Police-constable Leonard Davies in Charlotte-street, and also with using bad language. The constable said that prisoner was using bad language, but went into the house when witness came along. As witness turned away, however, he heard the door open, and prisoner shouts, "Take that, you I will mark you for life!" At the some instant he threw a poker at witness, which grazed his shoulder. Inspector Bing- ham eaid prisoner had been before them twelve times, including a charge of robbery with violence, and the police thought the prisoner carried the poker about with him as a handy so it of weapon. (Proceeding.)

HALF-CENTURY OF QUIETUDE Living in their &on's old-fashioned house in a quiet lane leading to Twickenham Ferry, Mr. and Mrs. Geo-rge Chapman yester- day celebrated their golden wedding. Both of them were 26 years of age when they were married in St. George's, Hanover-square, on October 19, 1359. Mr. Chapman was a leather currier in Gerra-rd-street, Soho, and retired twenty years ago. "Ours has been a quiet, humdrum life," Mrs Chapman said with a smile. "We have not had any exciting expe- riences, nor have we came into contact with a.ny of the great events of the world." 1
