TAXI-CAB AND MAIL-CART His Honour Judge Hill Kelly was occapisd for some time at Cardiff County-court on Thursday ia attaching liability in a case of a collision between a taxi-cab and a mail- cart. The plaintiff was Thomas Forse, mail contractor, and defendants the Southern Motor and Taxi-cab Company. Mr. J. B. Step-hens was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Allen Pratt (Messrs. Lloyd and Prat.t) defended. The facts were that on the night of Decem,ber 6, at 11.45, there was a collision in Penarth-road, and there was much contradiction in evi- dence as to the ce of the respective vehicles and the procedure of the respective drivers. His Honour found for the plaintiff, who sued for five guineas. HIS ONLY EARNINGS Haven't you been doing very well ever since last Christmas?" asked counsel of a coaltrimmer.

Early in the sitting he dropped the gentle hint, "I am prepared to take any case it is convenient to take, but it would be more convenient if members, of the Bar were present in time." ) fa.

PREMIER'S PLEDGES Lords' Veto&the Budget IF PROPOSALS ARE NOT PASSED "We shall not continue inOffice" An important statement regarding the Government's policy was made by the Premier in the House of Commons on Thursday. Mr. J. G. BUTCHER (U., York) asked the Prime Minister whether it was still his inten- tion to pass the Budget through that House before it adjourned for the spring recess. Mr. BOWLES (R., King's Lynn) asked the right hon. gentleman to add to his answer what he meant by the spring recess. Mr. ASQUITH said he was afraid the spring recess must be what, in ecclesiastical lan- guage, was called a movable feast. No date could yet be fixed for it. As he said on Monday, in answer to the leader of the Opposition, there had Leen no change in the intention of the Government, announced on the first night of the session, to ask the House to assent to the Budget before it adjourned for the spring recess, whenever that might be. It was their intention, sub- ject, of course, to unforeseen contingencies, to ask the House to dispose of the Budget as soon as the resolutions relating to the House of Lords had been passed through the Commons. (Ministerial cheers.) Mr. LONSDALE (U.. Armagh, Mid.): Will the right hon. gentleman introduce the Budget proposals for two years in one Finance Bill? Mr. ASQUITH: I cannot give any answer about that. Lord H. OEOIL (U., Oxford University): It is, then, the intention of the Government to bring in a Finance Bill without doubt? Mr. ASQUITH: Yes, sir; my answer is per- fectly explicit. (Ministerial cheers.) Mr. J. G. BUTCHER: If unforeseen circum- stances should arise, will the right hon. gentleman promptly inform the House of any change? Mr. ASQUITH: Certainly. Mr. J. G. BUTCHER asked the Prime Minister whether it was still his intention that the resolutions dealing with the veto of the House of Lords should be embodied in a. Bill and carried through the House of Commons in the course of the present session. Mr. ASQUITH said the intention of the Government was, as had been already stated, to get their proposals on to the Statute Book in the shape of an Act of Parliament at the earliest possible moment. As was said on behalf of the Government last Monday, "unless we find ourselves in a position to ensure that our proposals will pass, not merely in the House of Commons, but can be passed into law, we shall not continue in office." (Loud Ministerial cheers.) Viscount HELMSLEY (U.. Thirsk): Are we to understand that if the resolutions pass this House and are rejected in another place the circumstances contemplated by the Prime Minister will have arisen? Mr. ASQUITH: The hon. member had better wait and see. (Ministerial laughter and cheers.) Mr. BUTCHER: Are we to understand that the pledge given on February 21 to bring in a Bill embodying the veto resolutions and pass it through the House of Commons in the course of the present session still holds good? Mr. ASQUITH: Certainly it is intended to embody the proposals in a Eill, but until we know what the decision has been upon our resolutiiou: both in the one House and the other, it would be premature and alto- gether impossible to determine finally what the oourse of procedure will be. Mr. J. G. BUTCHER: Is the House to under- stand that the unqualified assurance given by the Prime Minister on February 21 to bring in a Bill and pass it through. all its stages in the House of Commons in the present session no longer holds good ? Mr. ASQUITH: I must refer the bon. member to what I said on Monday. (Minis- terial cheers.) Mr. J. G. BUTCHER: May I ask the Prime Minister whether he did not assure the House on Monday that the only change in procedure from that originally announced by him was that the veto resolutions would be submitted to the House of Lords? Mr. ASQUITH: It is quite true that is the only change in procedure, but both I and the Chancellor of the Exchequer said that in a certain event we did not inltend to ask this House to repeat the process which has been described in days gone by as ploughing I the sands. (Loud Ministerial cheers.) Premier Explains I On the MASTER of EUBANK moving the adjournment of the House, Mr. JAMES HOPE (LJ., Sheffield, Central), who had given notice of a motion expressing the opinion that the Government was not justified in further delaying to submit to the House a resolution authorising the collec- tion of income-tax during the current finan- cial year, said it was unfortunate that the Government had not seen their way to allow this question to be brought before the House in a definite manner. The SPEAKER, interposing, said that matter could not be raised on the motion for the adjournment, because the hon. mem- ber had given notice of motion. (Laughter.) Mr. HOPE said he wished to protest against the course taken by the Government, which prevented the matter being brought before the House. (Opposition cheers.) The country would, at all events, know that the debate had been stifled by the action of the Govern- ment, who had deliberately burked the dis- pussion of an indictment accusing them of throwing away huge sums of public money for no other motive than to gratify their own vanity. (Opposition cheers.) Mr. ASQUITH, who was received with Ministerial cheers, said the hon. member had used very strong language, which was singu- larly inappropriate in the circumstances. (Ministerial cheers, and Opposition cries of "Ko.") As a matter of fact, this matter had been debated at considerable length during the last two days. The Government would have bren delighted to have spent the whole of the remainder of the eveniig in discussing the motion of the hon. member, because the more the matter was discussed the, more the strength of their position would be made manifest. (Ministerial cheers and Opposition laughter.) But the Government having taken the whole time of the Hou<-e up to Easter, and thereby with the assent of the House having deprived private members of the opportunities which they would otherwise have had for bringing forward matters in which they were inter- ested. it was impossible for them to do other than move the adjournment of the House at the conclusion of the Government business. If they made an exception in favour of a particular member they would be doing an injustice to the great bulk of private mem- bers (Ministerial cheers.) On this ground only they made the present motion; but the Government would welcome a fuller discus- sion of the matter which Mr. Hope wished to bring forward, an opportunity for which would be afforded on the third reading of the Government's Bill to-morrow. (Ministerial cheers.) Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN (U., Worces- tershire, E.) reoogriised that there was force in the argument of the Prime Minister. This was the third evening that the Government had adjourned the House when only half a day's work had been done. (Opposition oheers.) This waste of time was going on when the Government themselves admitted that money was being lost and expense was being caused by the non-collection of taxes. Why did they not use the time which the House had given them? Mr. ASQUITH: For the Budget? Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN: Yes, for the Budget. (Opposition cheers.) If the Prime Minister would put down the Budget for dis- oussion no one would be more gratified than the Opposition. (Opposition cheers.) The Government waste of time was part of a long series of manoeuvres. (Opposition cheers and Ministerial laughter.) Lord H. CECIL (U., Oxford University) said the explanations of the Government, like their assurances, had always varied, and had always turned out to be untrue. C Hear, hea.r," and laughter, and cries of Order.") He was sure the longer the Government went on with a policy of shuffling out of their difficulties and of evading issues they dare not face—(Opposition cheers)—the deeper would be the discontent of the country, and the greater would be the contempt with j which the Government would cover them- selves. (Opposition cheers.) The motion was agreed to.

Cost of British Army! X325,000 INCREASE IN ESTIMATES The Army Estimates for the financial year I 1910-1911 were issued on Thursday, showing the following figures:- 1 Net Estimate. I z 1910-11 27,760,000 1 1909-10 27,435,000 Increase 325,000 The current year's amount is a return to the figure of 1907-8, the increase being due to the striking success of the efforts made by the County Associations throughout Great Britain to fill up the ranks of the Territorial units. There is also an increase in the number of men on the home and Colonial establish-I ments of the Army, the number, exclusive of those serving in India, being 184,200, or 1,000 more than in 19C9-10. The British forces .serving in India number 75,884, a slight decrease as compared with the current year. THE TERRITORIAL FORCE. Dealing with the Territoria.l Force, Mr. Haldane says the progress made during the Past year has been very satisfactory. Thanks to the admirable work performed by the County Associations and to the effects of a sound military organisation, marked improve- ment has been visible in numbers, in efficiency, and in cohesion. The state of the force on January 1, 1910, was:- Establish- Strength ment. Officers 11,218 9,701 Non-eommissioned officers j and men 301,272 262,036 This shows an increase of 64,105 of all ranks over the strength of the force on the 1st of January, 1909. Of the 892 units of which the Territorial Force is composed, all except three have now secured the strength (a minimum of 30 per cent. of establishment) entitling them to official recognition." There were 8,181 officers and 240,056 non-com- missioned officers and men who attended camp, and of these 6,865 officers and 163,045 of other ranks attended for fifteen days or over. The reports of general officers comma-nding on the training indicate a general improve- ment in the elllciency of the force, notwith- standing the large number of recruite that I attended oamp. Finance Bill for Two Years Mr. Asquith's statements as to the inten- tions of the Government with regard to the Budget were much discussed afterwards in the Lobby. It was noted that, while the Prime Minister announced that the House of Commons would be asked to assent to the Budget before it adjourned for the spring recess, he declined to answer the question whether Budgets for two years would be included in the Finance Bill. It is the pre- vailing opinion on the Opposition side that this course will be followed, in which case all that would be placed before the House of Commons before the holidays would be resolutions authorising the collection of the new taxes. If this view is correct, it is evident that some of the most contentious clauses of the late Finance Bill will not be heard of again until the proposals for 1910-11 come under discussion. The view that it would be use- less after the close of the financial year to impose the land taxes, even with retrospec- tive provisions, is not confined to critics of the Government. The super-tax upon large incomes is another duty which, it is thought, can ha.rdly be proceeded with this year. Thus it may turn out that, owing to mere flux of time, the Budget proposaJs to be introduced during April will be of a charac- ter likely to pass without difficulty in the present House of Commons. The Nationalist opposition, which would be certain if the whole Budget scheme of laet year came again before the House of Commons before assur- ances were obtained as to the acceptance of a Lords' Veto Bill, will be avoided, and matters of bitter contention will be post- poned until after the Constitutional issue has been decided either by the securing of guarantees or by a fresh appeal to the elec- torate. Some confirmation is given to this view by the official statement that the Budget I resolutions will not occupy muoh time in the House of Commons, that a stringent time table will probably not be necessary, and that a short spring recess, which all parties in the House desire, is not likely to be delayed. Raising the Revenue The Marquess of LANSDOWNE, in the House of Lords on Thursday, said the noble earl opposite had intimated to him that two financial Bills now before the House of Commons, namely, the War Loans (Redemp- tion) Bill and the Treasury (Temporary Borrowing) Bill, would come up to their lordships' House on Monday next, and he desired that those Bills should be passed through all their stages on that evening. So far as he (Lord Lansdowne) and those who usually acted with him were concerned, they would interpose no difficulty in the way of that course, but he desired to give notice that on the occasion of the second reading of the Treasury (Temporary Borrowing) Bill he would call attention to the delay of the Government in laying before Parliament their proposals for raising the revenue necessary for the current year, and he would ask for information as to the date I when those proposals would come up to their lordships' House. The Earl of CREWE said he was much obliged to the noble marquess for agreeing to give facilities for passing the two Bills, A their passage was urgently needed in order to carry on the ordinary business of the country. He was also obliged to the noble marquess for giving him notice that he proposed to raise the question of policy with regard to one of the two Bills on Monday next. He would be glad to meet the noble marquess on that. FINANCIAL CHAOS' Opinion in the Lobby Even Liberal members of the House of Commons, the Lobby correspondent of t?f "Daily Telegraph" writes, admit that the Government are doing their best to aggra yate the financial situation. Notwithstanding the assurances of the Prime Minister, there is a grolwin,g belief that no real attempt will be made to pass the suspended Budget in the present Parliament, the scarcely-concealed design of the occupants of the Treasury Bench being to leave it as a legacy to their successors in office. When Mr. Asquith spoke last evening of the "unforeseen contingencies" that might interfere with the realisation of the Government plans, he doubtless had in mind the Irish Nationalists, who have rep-e,ated,ly declared that the Budget will net pass into law unless the Lord*' Veto Bill also finds its way to the statute book.

A RECORD RAINFALL The waterworks engineer (Mir. C. H. Priestley) presented to the Cardiff Water- works Committee to-day some remarkable statistics rela.ting to the rainfall during the last three months. He stated that the whole of the storage reservoirs had been full and overflowing throughout February, during which month the rainfall at Gantreff Reservoir was 10.45in., compared with 1.37in. in the corresponding month of last year. At Lisvaine the fall was 4.71iii., whil. the average there for the past 46 years was only 2.91in. Mr. Priestley frurth-er point ad out that at the Beacons Reservoir the rainfall had been no less than 66.59in. from Septeomber 1 last until February 1. which was the highest ever recorded. For the past 25 ye.ars the average fall in the corresponding period was 13.41in. Alderman F. J. Beavan said that, having regard to these striking figures, the residents of Cardiff would appreciate the wisdom of the council in providing additional storage, because the heavy rainfall during recent months woyld probably be followed by a serious drought.

I AMENDE HONOURABLE Magistrate (at the London Guildhall Police- court yesterday, where a lad was charged with throwing an orange at a carman): Will you kindly apologise to the carman and say to him, I behaved like a savage, and ought to have seven days?" The defendant apologised, a;nd the oarman saying he was satisfied the magistrate dismissed the oaae.

COST OF DIVORCE 1 COMMISSION INQUIRY I When the Royal Commission on Divorce resumed its sittings at Winchester House, St. James's-equare, London, to-day, the Chair- man (Lord Gorell) said the Commission had communicated with as many representative bodies as it was possible to* discover who might send representatives able to give useful information to the Commission. If any such bodies had been omitted it was desirable that they should communicate with the secretary of the Commission (Mr. Gorell Barnes). The first witness called was Mr. Thomas S. Griffiths, of the firm of Chester, Broome, and Griffiths, of Bedford-row, W.C., who stated that his firm were agents for over a hundred country solicitors. They did a considerable business in divorce, he said, and when asked for an estimate as to the cost of an un- defended divorce suit they put the charge at £3() to irrespective of the oost of bring- ing witnesses to London. He did not think the suggested system of taking evidence by affidavit would be at all satisfactory, and would open the door for collusion. If, again, divorce jurisdiction wa.s conferred on local courts, it would be practically impossiljM> for the King's Proctor to watch the whole of the county-courts. To confer jurisdiction on the county-courts for poor cases would be setting up a law for the rich and another for the poor, with a great advance to the latter. (Proceeding.)

Exchange of Traffic QUESTION OF SIDING FACILITIES In the Commercial Court on Thursday Mr. Justico Hamilton resumed the hear- ing of the aotion of the Alexandra (Newport and South Wales) Docks and Railway Company v. the Tatf Vale Railway Oompany olaiming f,8,542 alleged to have been retained by the defendant company in respect to services rendered in respect to exchange of traffic at Pontypridd Junction. The defendants' case was that they were entitled to retain the sum claimed, and they counter-claimed £ 17,792. When the case was before the court last week Mr. Russell made his opening statement, and then, after a con- sultation with Mr. Bankes, the further hear- ing was adjourned till yesterday on the understanding that during the interval the leaders for each side should meet and arrange the exact issues which were to be tried. Mr. Russell said that having already opened the case for the plaintiffs so far as the point was concerned whether the sidings in existence adjoining plaintiffs' railway were the sidings referred to in the Aot of 1878, he submitted that, taking that Act or agreement into consideration, it was clear that the sidings in question were the sidings referred to in the agreement, and that. there- fore, there wae no justification for tirft charge sought to be made for their services by the defendants. The defendants had entered into a bargain which, he submitted, they were bonnd to carry out, and that they were not entitled to make any charge to the plaintiffs for the work done on the plaintiffs' line in consequence of the exchange of traffic at Pontypridd Junction. I Sir George Gibb, chairman of the Metropoli- tan District Railway Company, and formerly general manager of the North Eastern Oom. pany, gave it a.s his opinion that the plain- tiffs' present sidings were not only an enlarge- ment, but an impro-vemetL,,t upon the original sidings of the plaintiff company. He described the sidings as most convenient, being double-ended, and having all modern improvements. Similar views were expressed by Mr. Edward Watkin, formerly mineral manager of the Great Central Company, and Sir John Wolfe Barry, and the further hearing was adjourned. Mr. Eldon Banles, K.C., Mr. Simon, K.C., and Mr. Owen Beatsley (instructed by Messrs. Williamson, Hill and Co., agents for Meesrs. Ingledew and Sons) appeared for the Taff Vale Company, and for the Alexandra (New- port and South Wales) Dooks and Railway Company, Mr. L. A. Russell, K.C., Mr. Row- land Whitehead, K.C., M.P., and Mr. Macusey (instructed by Messrs. Workby, Stewart, and Co.).

BURIAL ACCOMMODATJN I Mr. R. H. llickn, a Local Government Board inspector, attended at Ncwnliam to hold an inquiry anent an application by the urban district council for aprproval of a scheme for enlarging the churchyard at St. Peter's Parish Church, and for power to raise £ 1.000 with which to do the work. Mr. Herbert Williams (Monmouth) repre- sented the council, whose clerk (Mr. M. F. Carter) is ill. He said the churchyard and an extension were filled up. The proposal was to purchase one acre and a half adjacent to the churchyard, giving £ 600 for it, and to spend the remainder in developing it. Some objection was raised by Mr. M'Laughlin, of the Brightlands School, who said his approval was conditional upon their keeping 100 yards away from his boundary, otherwise he should storenuously oppose the eoheme. These afisuranees were given.

SOUTH WALES COAL TRADE I The annual meeting of the Swansea. Dis- trict Board of the Monmouthshire and South Wales Coalowners' Association was held at the'Hotel Metiopole, Swansea. Mr. D. F. Davies, general manager of the New Cross Hands Colliery Company, was elected chair- man for the ensuing year, the retiring chair- man being Mr. R. L. Sails, of the Gwaun- cae-gurwen Collieri?m Company, and Mr. Morgan J. Thomas, of Broadoak Colliery, Loughor, was elected vice-chairman. In reference to the negotiations now pro- ceeding for a new Conciliation Board agree- nlent, the following resolution was unani- mously. aklo-pted:- That this largely-attended meeting cf the Swansea District Board of the Coalowners' Association aœord to the owners I repre, sentatives upon the Conciliation Board their full support in the policy which they have adopted in regard to the negotiations for the formation of the new wages agree- ment. The general business of the meeting was of the usual routine character, and had reference to disputes at several collieries in the Swansea district.

LICENSING FUNDS INCOME-TAX Mr. Justice Bray in the King's Bench on Thursday continued the hearing of the argu- ments in the Glamorgan Quarter Sessions appeal against assessment for income-tax on the interest on the licensing compensation fund deposited with them. Mr Danokwerts (for the appellants) said the treasurer of the licensing committee of the quarter sessions had the funds vested in him in trust, and he was the proper person to be assessed. The machinery for dealing with the compensation fund would enable income-tax to be collected at the source. The Solicitor-General said there were no real merits in this appeal. It was admitted now that somebody was assessable in respect of interest on the compensation fund. There were nuany cases in whioh justices as a body had been assessed for income-tax, and he eubmTted that here the quarter sessions were, the persons properly chargeable. His Lordship reserved judgment. Mr. Danckwerts, K.C., and Mr. Vaughaii Williams appeared for the appellants, aand the Solicitor-General (Sir S. T. Evans, K.C.) and Mr. Finlay were for the Crown, i

Licensed Trade REQUIREMENTS OF CARDIFF BENCH The fortieth annual meeting of the Cardiff and District Licensed Victuallers' Associa- tion was held at the Royal Hotel on Thurs- day, Mr. Nathaniel Hurley, of Broadway, presiding over a good attendance of members, including Messrs. George Chamberlain ajid J. N. Gillard, the representatives on the National Trade Defence Association and the Licensed Victuallers' Defence League respec- tively. The President in his report to the members stated tha.t the past year had been an event- fur ore, commencing as it did with the simultaneous retirement, after a number of years' service, of the president and secretary. The Budget, reviving and intensifying some, of the iniquitous and revengeful measures of the receutly-deoeaised Licensing Bill, waa the trst matter of importance to be deialt with during the year, and prompt action was taken to bring those interested to dis- cuss a means of resistanoe. A meeting of the tradd was convened in the Royal Hotel, and the proposals adopted were still being I adhered to by the trade. Considerable time and Aork were given during the Parlia- mentary election by the members of the electoral committee, and although the candi- dates most favourable to their interests were not returned, much good was done in the way of arousing activity tunong members of the trade. There were still many matters of local interest to the trade which would I-a-ve to be contended with, such as uniformity of prices and other matters which affected sections of the district covered by the association in a greater or less degiT-e. To bring about a better system for carrying out arrangements or regulations agreed upon, a scheme of dis- trict representation and sub-oommittees was being organised, ajid it was with sincere con- cern for the welfare of the members of the trade generally that an appeal was made to everyone for support to the scheme. Since the last annual meeting 70 new members had been eleoted, the membership now standing at 185. The balance-sheet showed an income of £ 229 for the year, this amount including £ 70 received in special donations. The expendi- ture totalled £ 308, hut with £ 350 oash on deposit and other cash and furniture the association were able to show a balance in hand of £ 438. Replying to Mr. J. Cook, the Chairman said that the reason why they did not succeed in bringing about a uniform rate of 3d. for bottled beer was that at the time they made the effort there were several licensed victuallers outside the pale of the associa- tion. These had fHnce been gathered in. so that they were now in a better position to bring; about unific.ation of charges. Mr. Vaughan directed attention to the remarks of Dr. Taylor at the recent licensing sessions in regard to jug and bottle depart- ments. and characterised the chairman's language as more severe than was warranted. The President agreed, and said he con- sidered that licensed victuallers had a great grievance in being expected to go cap in hand to a licencing bench the majority of whom were tetotallers. He thought it was hig-h tim-a that they should make a. repre- sentation. as licensed victuallers, and pro- teat against the formation of such a teetotal bench as they had at Cardiff. (Hear, hear.) I Mr. George Chamberlain, the association's representative on the XfttioTWI Trade Defence Association, said that. whilst he agreed that the magistrates were entitled to ask them to remove seats from the jug and bottle departments, he failed b see that they had any power to compel them not to serve a drink for consumption in the outdoor depart- ments. He had looked up the laws passed since 1828, and failed to find that the magis- trates had anv such power, and he suggested that their solicitor shottkl raise thi", matter at the adjourned sessions on Tuesday. Per- sonally, he thought it was about time that they protested against this harassing of the trade by the licensing justices. let the magistrates make a scapegoat of one of their members over this serving of drinks in t,he outdoor depa.rtmentF, and the association would fight for that man. (Hear, hear.) He thought < it was quite time that the licensing trade showed their te.eth as well. (He-tr, bear.) With regard to the con=?titution of licensing committees, Mr. Chamberlain said that the National Trade Eeienee Association had been fighting this questio,n of the pre- dominance of teetotallers on Ik-en.ona- ber>r>>«-' for years, and at last had pucc<?ded in get- ting a Commissi on appointed to inquire into the inju?ti-e?- that had arisen or were likely to arise through in?q?mHty. The Defence Association did not sug^eist tha.t publicans, brewers, or even shareholders in breweries should &it on the licensing benches, but what they insisted upon was that no pronounced teetotaller or one whose opinions we re well known to be adverse to the licensed trade should be allowed to sit on the licensing' bench, fllear, hear.) Mr Chamberlain con- tended that the latest, edict from the licen- sing ben?h would result in the nNxin? of sexæ in their bars. He strona?y adN-mtz the retaining of partitions in bars. The President, in moving the adoption of I the annual report, said that their organisa- tion was muoh better new than when he took office. They started the year with 126 mem- bers, and they had made 70 new members during the year. They were now in a better position to bring about a uniform price for the commodities they sold. After some discussion the report was adopted. Mr. George Weptiake, of the Romilly Hotel, Canton, was unanimously elected president few- the ensuing year, and in returning thanks that gentleman nrsred the members to stick solidly together, as the trade was not yet out of the mire. He suggested that they approach the licensing bench in a con- ciliatory spirit with a view of redressing their grievances. 'Mr. Harry Prickett.

I DIVED BEFORE A TRAIN I A young man, who caused a. sensation at Smethwick Station a few weeks ago by jumping in front of a train, was brought before the magistrates yesterday on a charge of attempting to commit suicide. The accused, Thomas Wale, had a miraculous escape. After wandering for some hours he went to the station, and dived in front of a train which was travellnig at ten miles an hour. The people on the platform expected to see a horribly mangled corpse when the train was pulled up, but when he was extri- oated Wale was conscious, and had bus- taiiied no more injury than a cut forehead. Wale told the magistrate that he had been suffering from a nervous breakdown for three years, and did not know what he was doing. He was discharged upon promising not to repeat the offence- j

I A SURVEYOR'S SALARY I In further explanation of his support to the increased salary granted the LI and a if district surveyor (Mr. Holdenj th-is week, Mr. Peter SharPe writes :There is. I think, an error ae to the words in my supporting Mr. Holden'a increase. When objection was raised to his increase one of the grounds wa,g that Mr. Farrow, assistant surveyor, had been refused an increase some eighteen months ago. In supporting the motion, 1 said I was prepared to advocate Mr. Farrow's increase even now, at any risk, being now familiar with his good work. I presume your reporter rather read his own meaning into mywords. But my remarks were not by any means explanatory of my support for Mr. Holden's increase, being directed rather to future recognition o-f the excellent services of Mr. Farrow at a proper time."

ZEPPELIN'S POLAR TRIP I I On tihe proposal of Prince Henrry, as presi- dent of the Zeppelin North Pole expedition, the Kaiser has decided that the vessel Poseidon shall be placed at the service of the expedition. To-morrow the executive com- mittee will discuss the details of Zeppelin's Polar trip at Hamburg. The Poseidon, which has several t.imes been placed at the disposal of Prince Albert, of Monaco, in connection with his oceanographical work, will sail north on June 25, and on July 7 will join the Danish steamer, which has been chartered for! two years, at Narwiok. A wireless telegraphy apparatus will be installed on both vessels. During the Zeppelin expedition the German Wireless Telegraphy Company will estaJbdieh a. third station in the Norwegian Fjord.

Loss of. the Deccan WITNESS AND "A BIT OF A SPREE.\ The Board of Trade inquiry into the los of the Deccan was resumed at Liverpool on Thursday. The evidence of the crew was proceeded with. David Reee, able seaman, thought it funny when his watca. was ordered below at the time the ship was drifting towards the land. It would have been more feasible if they had been ordered to get the boats ready The vessel at that time should have been put on the other taok. Even that would not have saved the vessel, unless the wind had got up. Mr. Miller, in cross-examination, suggested that the witness and other members of the crew had a grievance against the master, but this the witness denied. In answer to the court, witness said he would have felt more contented if they had had A certificated man as seoond mate instead of a senior apprentice. Charles Cbatterton, able seaman, stated the ship's log was not saved, but he had kept a log of his own. He produced a small book and handed it to the Board of Trade solici- tor, who examined it, and said, There seems to be very little in it of any import- ance," Peter O'Brien Heeketh, able seaman, said he shipped in the name of Peter O'Brien. because he had lost his discharge books, and had not really intended to go in the Deccan. Mr. Paxton: Why did you go eventually? Witness: I just signed on her thinking of having a bit of a spree and getting out of her again, but I got that full I did not know what to do. So I went to sea in the ehip (Laughter.) The inquiry reeumes to-day.

ENGLISH CU?—FOURTH ROUND I The success of this year's final tie for the English Cup (writes "Soccerite") depends a IDt. on the results of to-morrow's matches. Such a number ox surprises have caused sen- sation on sensation in the first three rounds that anything may happen to-morrow, and if Newcastle United. Everton, Bt> rnsley. a,nd Manchester City all lose the final tie may be the worst in point. of attendance and general enthusiasm in the history cf the competition. On-e northern and one southern team in the final will be essentia-l to produce the usual excitement and wind-up of the season. To- morrow the following matches are down for decision:— Coventry City v. Everton. Barnsley v. Queen's Park Rangers. Newcastle United Y. leicester Fosse. Swindon v. M ancheswr City. (On the grounds of the first-named clubs.) Coventry have been one of the surprise* of the tourney. Preston North End and Notts Forest (both first league teams) being aanoiie their victims. They will give Everton a g()(J<"I game, but EVERTON should survive for tho semi-final. Barnsley will fi-rtd Queen's ps.rk Rapge "hot stuff," and must take every chance if they want to avoid a. draw, wbic, ii might possibly be to their disadvantage eventually. On their own ground BARNSLEY should account for the W,,wt Ixmdoners by a cbs," margin Leicester Fosse aTe making strenuous i efforts to snatch a win at Newcastle, a.nd the Newcastritins may be caught napping. On form, and from experience ol many cup matches, NEWCASTLE rNITED should, win. Swindon, and Manchester City will provide the best Fatell of the day. and the Man- cunians, who purpristd Aston Villa, will in turn be surprised by SWINDON, who with the luck of the draw may be able to get to the finals. Cup-ties are dangerous events to predict- still, I think at this stage, unless they are drawn together in the werm-firial. the finalists this season will be SWINDON a.nd NE WCASTLE LITBD.

I" With Pal in London" I MARRIED MAN SWINDLES A DO MESH 3 IN-bat Sheriff Boyd described as a case of amazing credulity on one side, and deception < on the other, was tried before the Glasgow Sheriff Criminal Court ye-st-erd-ay. William Dcnrra-chie Campbell was charged with having, while a. married man, pretended to Elizabeth Gardiner, cf Govan, that he was unmarried, and by promising to marry her induced her to give him L32. Gardiner, a domestic servant, related how she met Campbell at a fruiterer's shop. He promised to marry her. and t.ake her to New Zealand. Campbell got to know she w?s having a small legacy from a distant rela- tive. After she received the money fr"m I the lawyeT she gave him £ 32 to bank for her at his request. He never returned, and she wae left penniless. A detective said when he had a Compbell in Manchester, where he had given himself up, Campbell admitted his guilt, and said he had ppent a lot. of money drinking with pals in London and Portsmouth. He had omly twopence-half penny when he sur- rendered himself. C-ampbell, givirg evidence on his own behalf, paid he had pretended at first, he was un- married, 1H::¡t later told Gardiner he was ma.rried. and wanted to give her up. She redueed. and threatened to throw herself into the Clyde to expose him to his wife if he gave her up. Sheriff Boyd said Gardiner was a foolish and faulty woman, but it was foolish and faulty women who gave men lie Campbell the opportunity to defraud them. It was a. shameful story. be.rd The sentence was fifteen months' hard labour. Campbell kissed his handp to his wife and cteld when descending t.o the cells.

MYSTERIOUS LETTERS Annie Dewey, housekeeper to Canon Oaffera-ta. Roman Ca-thclio priest, of Walling- ton, Surrey, was acquitted at the Surrey AfsLzas yesterday of the charge of libelling Annie Tugwell. wife of the registrar of birThs and deaths at Sutton. The libels were con- tained in three letters, and made accusatione against the morality of the prosecutrix. One letter, written on the canon's notepaper, in handwriting simila-r to that on the postcards, it was admitted, was written by the prisoner. The defence was t11a.: the lilels were the work of a skilful forger. The judge described the case as -as. The jury returned a. verdict of not guilty, and the prisoner was discharged.

NEW CHURCHES NEEDED I The Dean ot Liandaff presided over the Llandaff Diocesan Society at Cardiff on Thursday. Archdeacon Edmondes submitted the report and statement of accounts, which enumerated the grants made during the year j towards improving exist,ing church buildings and the erection of new churches. A grant j of JE40 had been made towards the new church at Caerau (Maesteg), which is to pro- vide acommodation for 500 people at a cost of £ 4,000. Mies Talbot had generously eup- ported this movement, and the new church would probably become a parish church. A sum of JE40 had been voted to the conversion of St Luke's, Canton, into a permanent building. The report referred to the fact that the liabilities wene now very heavy, and a larger income would be neces- &a.ry if the present soale of grants was main- tained. Most of the new churchcs were nearly full of worshippers, and. consequent upon the increasing population, there was a corresponding deman.d for more provision. In Cardiff alone six new churches might be added. The accounts showed a balance in hand of £6.32 14s. On the motion of Canon Lewis, seconded by General Lee, the report was adopted. EXTENSION WORK IN THE DIOCESE. A meeting of the Llandaff Church Exten- sion Society was held at Cardiff on Thursday, the Bishop of Llandaff presiding. Among others present were Pean Davey, the Arch- deacon of Llandaff (Yen. F. W. Edmondes), General Ixe, and the Rev. David Davies, Canon Lewis, Daniel Fisher, E. Edwardes, and II. J. Williams. A grant of X4,0 was made towards a ourate for Garndiffaith, and a loan of L300 was approved for a new mission church at Pontymister. The question of a grant towa-rds the curate at Penmaen was deferred, the inoumbent being absent. — L 4
