THE WINTER ASSIZES- 0-1 THE CARMARTHENSHIRE CALENDAR. FOUR LLANELLY CASES. The winter assises for the county of Carmarthen and for the county of the borough of Carmarthen were held at the Guild-hall, Carmarthen. on Friday (before Mr. Justice Lawrence). THEFT OF A WATCH. John Pardo Thomas (27), collier, Llanelly, was indicted for stealing a silver watch, the property of Richard Michael, a fellow-lodger, on December 1 last.—Prisoner pleaded guilty There being pre- vious convictions, he was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour. ACTION FOR BALANCE OF ACCOUNT, Messrs. Buckley's Brewery Company (Limited), Llanelly, brought an action against Mr. J. Llewelyn Thomas (late manager of the plaintiff company's business, and present manager of the Carmarthen United Breweries) for the recovery of £136, being balance of an account for (1) money received by the defendant as manager of the plaintiffs and their predecessors in title, (2) the price of goods sold, (3) moneys paid at defendant's request, and (4) money overpaid to him as insurance agent, such claims being up to October 1st, 1894, when the business was formed into a limited company. Mr. T. Terrel, Q.C., and Mr. J. Lloyd Morgan, M.P. (in- structed by Messrs. Roderick and Spowart, Llan- elly, appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Abel Thomas, Q.C., M.P., and Mr. S. T. Evans, M.P. (instructed by Messrs. W. Robinson Smith and Son, Swansea), for the defendant.— A special jury was empanelled, and the hearing of the case occupied several liotir-For the defence it was alleged that the defendant was not indebted to the plaintiffs in any amount on any account, and a. total denial was given to all the allegations in the statement of claim. Alternatively, the defendant alleged that in July, 1895, the plaintiffs, by the late Mr. James Buckley, managing director of the company, in consideration of his remaining in their employ without an increase of salary, undertook to wipe out of the standing account between them any balance which was then owing to the plaintiffs by the defendant and so released him absolutely from any liability to pay such balance. Defendant further alleged that shortly after this release was given by the late Mr. James Buckley, the undertaking was repeated and ratified by Mr. W. J. Buckley, the other part- ner. A counter-claim had been entered for £ 100 19s. 4d., for wages due to him as plaintiff's manager, at the agreed rate of JE350 per annum-- Plaintiffs, in evidence, contended that the late Mr. James Buckley never was managing director of the plaintiff company,, and that the alleged undertaking and release, if made (which was denied), were not binding on the plaintiff com- pany. They further contended that there was nothing due from them to the defendant, as he was given credit for all wages due in the state- ment of account—His Lordship summed up at great length distinctly in favour of the plaintiffs, and a verdict was. returned in favour of the plaintiffs upon the claim and counter-claim, with costs, and a, certificate for the special jury was also allowed. A LLANELLY DETINUE ACTION. Margaret Jane Jeremy Davies, huckster, Trim- saran, brought an action against Mary Davies, the tenant of Carway Farm, Pembrey, to recover a certain mare and foal, or £35 in lieu of it. Mr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Messrs. Johnson and Stead, Llanelly), appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. S. T. Evans, M.P. (instructed by Mr. W. Howell, Llanelly), for the fiefendant. -Plain fiff, who ad- mitted that her proper name was Margaret Jane Jeremy, said she had been living with defendant's brother at Minhurtach Farm, Llanelly, and whilst there she had lent the defendant a mare which she (the plainiiff) had bought in March, 1894, from Mr. Morgan Powell, of the Old Castlo Inn, Llanelly. She had added Davies to her name because people thought she was married to Mr. Evan Davies. Sbe handed in a receipt show- ing in Morgan Powell's handwriting that slifo had purchased the mare from him.—Defendant alleged that the mare wns formerly the property of; her brother, and he had sold it to her,—Mr. Morgan Powell, when pressed, said lie had only given the receipt to the plaintiff last April, although the mare was sold in 1894. He dated it backwards at her request, and also made it out in her name although it was Evan Davies, who had bought it,- The Judge commented strongly the conduct of some of the parties in the action, and a verdict was returned for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. LIBELLING A LLANELLY GREENGROCER. A greengrocer named Carpenter, who carries on business in the Lhnelly Market, brought an action against a man named Thomas, also of the same occupation in the same place, for libelling him by sending defamatory matter in telegrams relative to his ditalings with others. Mr. S. T. Evans, M.P., (instructed by Mr. W. Howell), was for plaintiff and Mr. Ivor Bowen, (instructed by Mr. Ludford) defended.—His Lordship gave judgment for the plaintiff, awarding £ 10 damages, with costs. This concluded the business of the assize.

COMPLIMENTARY DINNER TO MR. HARRY JONES. At the National Liberal Club on Saturday evening a complimentary dinner was given by London journalists to Mr. Harry Jones, late acting-editor of the Sun. Mr. Harry Jones is leaving London far the purpose of taking up a position as managing editor of the IVestern Daily Mercury, and his col- leagues on the London press determined to give him a capital send-off before his departure from the Metropolis. They accordingly assembled in force at the National Liberal Club, and with prominent members of Parliament and other public gentlemen, toasted their guest and spent the evening in befitting meryiment. The chair was taken by Mr. A. Spurgeon, of the National Press Agency, who had on his right the guest of the evening. He was also sup- ported by Mr. T. E. Ellis, M.P., Mr. Lloyd George, M.P., Mr. Brynmor, Jones, M.P,, Mr. Alfred Thomas, M.P., Mr. J. H. Dalziel, M.P., Mr. Harrison, M.P., Mr. Allen Upward, Mr. Corrie Grant, Mr. Mend], Councillor Thomas, of Cardiff; Mr. Beriali Evans, &c. Well-known London journalists to the number of 40 also sat down. Letters of apology were received for non-attendance from the Mayor of Plymouth, Mr. Thomas Owen, M.P., Mr. David Davies, Swansea Mr. William Davies, Cardiff; Mr. J. A. Williams, of Llanelly, and others. The toast of the evening was proposed 'by Mr. Allen Upward in a speech of exceptional brilliance. It was supported by Messrs. T. E. Ellis M.P., Mr. Louis Tracy, and Mr. H. G. Hibbert, Mr. Jones responding in a graceful manner. Mr. Corrie Grant proposed "The house of Commons," to which Mr. Lloyd-George, Mr. Brynmor Jones, and Mr. Alfred Thomas responded, whilst the toast of the Western Daily Mercury" was given by Mr Mendl, the Liberal candidate for Plymouth, and responded to by the Chairman, who is the London managing director of the publication. The speeches were interspersed by songs, those of Madame Lucy Clarke being particularly appreciated. Madame Clarke, who has finally retired from the London halls for the purpose of carrying out a career in a higher branch of her profession, was in excellent voice, and charmed the gathering with her artistic efforts. The dinner was in every respect a success and Mr. Harry Jones will be able to look back with pride upon a memorable evening.

BUMBLEDOM AT THE CAR- MARTHEN UNION. CHARGE AGAINST A MEDICAL OFFICER. At the fortnightly meeting of the Carmarthen Board of Guardians, held on Saturday morning, with Mr. D. L. Jones, Derlwyn, in the chair, Mr. Thomas Thomas, Well field, drew attention to a letter on Bumbledom at the Carmarthen Union." which Mr. D. E. Stephens, solicitor, one of the guardians, had published in the local papers. The text of the letter had references to the board's dealing with the medical officer. Mr. Thomas Thomas said he regarded the letter as AN UNPRECEDENTED ATTACK by one of their members. At the previous board meeting they had a discussion with reference to their medical officer. They went into the whole matter, and he (the speaker) thought they had settled it for good. However, one of the members thought differently, and took it to the Press. Stioh a course had never been adopted before, and he thought it was very unbecommg of any member who was dissatisfied with any resolution of that board to rush into print in the way indicated. For his own part, he would never think of doing such a thing. Their medical officer, who had not beenverywell for some time past, was a gentleman who was highly respected in that taWIl-a gentleman who was looked upon as one of the first medical men at Carmarthen even to-day. Mr. Stephens stated that he applied for the attendance of the medical officer before the board. Well, he gave a full explanation, the guardians accepted it, and it was thought there was an end of the affair. Concluding, Mr. Thomas characterised Mr. Stephen's communication as most offensive. The Chairman invited discussion. Mr. Stephens said he bad nothing to say but this If people who represented a division or district objected to the publicity of the board's proceedings, then the sooner they ceased to represent the voters the better. The Rev. W. Thomas remarked that the report- ers attended the meetings, and surely reported the transactions of the board. Mr, Stephens said there happened to be no Pressmen in the room when the matter in question was mentioned. The Rev. W. Thomas said several answers to Mr. Stephen's letter had and would be published. Those, however he had nothing to do with. A Guardian asked Did Mr. Stephens say any- thing that was not true and is it a fact that the medical officer is respected at Carmarthen ? Mr. Thomas Yes, he is most highly respected. Mr. Thomas, again replying to the letter, averred that he never said the man was shamming at all. The Chairman The less said about the matter the better. Mr. Stephens said he distinctly recollected hear- ing Mr. Thomas making use of that expression. The anonymous letters, according to what the Rev. W. Thomas had stated, were to be continued, but he (Mr. Stephen) took no notice of such communi- cations. The Rev. W. Thomas said lie had no idea as to the authorship of them. Mr. Stephens said be did not wish to burk dis- cussion, He was perfectly willing that they should make a. proposition relative to his conduct. Whether if would have any effect upon him was another thing. Mr. Thomas Thomas regarded Mr. Stephens's conduct as extraordinary, unless he wanted to advertise himself. Mr. Stephens repudiated such a notion, and if Mr, Thomas challenged him he would be glad to call a meeting of his electors and give them a full answer to his conduct. The matter then dropped..

THE GWENDRAETH WORKS. KIDWELLY. SIGNS OF A RESTART. As is well known, these extensive works have been totally closed for the last 12 months, and great suffering exists in the town. To alleviate the distress the mayor of Kidwelly (Mr. E. V. Davies) has been good enough to open a public fund, and by this a great deal of good has been done. The vicar of Kidwelly (the Rev. D. D. Jones), together with Mr. T. W. A. Evans, J.P. (Rumsey House), have also established a soup kitchen, arid Mr. T. Wild, grocer, has in the last few weeks been giving away excellent soup and other provisions to the dis- tressed. Last week a meeting of the masters and the men took place, and, in reply to the masters, the men made an offer of concesssions. The mas- ters will meet in a few days and consider the men's offer, and hopes are strongly entertained that ere long work will be resumed here.

REPRESENTATION OEGOWER. RUMOURED IMPENDING RESIGNATION OF MR. RANDELL. The South Wales Daily I-'t)st say., it has excellent authority for slating that Mr. David Randell, M,P. for the Gower Division of Glamorganshire, intends forthwith to apply for the Chiltcrr. Hundreds, in order to place himself in a position to accept an important public office at Llanclly should that become available. Mr. Randell's personal popu- larity accounted largely for the great disproportion in the votes cast at the last general election, and it is by no means certain that a. contest will be avoided. Mr. Benson, of Gower, is mentioned as a probable candidate for the seat should the vacancy occur. Our representative, who is in a position to write authoritatively in reference to the above paragraph, says the matter stands thus:—Mr. Randell has for some years past acted as solicitor to the Llanelly Urban District Council and the Llanelly Harbour Commissioners, the late Mr. Jennings having acted in the capacity of clerk for those bodies: The death of Mr. Jennings will no doubt necessitate a rearrangement of offices, and probably Mr. Randell under certain circumstances may apply for the Clerkship in view of retaining his present position as solicitor. It is, however, incorrect to say that Mr. Bondell has decided upon relinquishing his Parliamentary duties.

PRESENTATION TO MR. L. J. ROBERTS, H.M.I. On Saturday evening a large number of school- masters, representing 11 the teaching profession of Cardiganshire, assembled at the AberystwitJj Board School, to present Mr. L. J. Roberts, her Majesty's inspector of schools, with a beautifully-illuminated address, in acknowledgment of his geniality, impar- tiality, aud pleasaatness as an inspector, and as a mark oi esteem aud appreciation on his removal to take charge of the Denbigh District. In giving expression to their feelings, the spokesmen con- fessed that although opposed to Mr. Roberts's ap- pointment at the time, they found on their first acquaintance with him as inspector that he was an inspector of the very best type. and had more than j justified his appointment.—Mr. Roberts acknow- ledged the presentation in suitable terms.

CONGRATULATING 1\[R. GWILYM EVANS. At a meeting of the governors of the Llanelly Intermediate School, held on Thursday afternoon last, a vote of congratulation, on the initiative of the Rev. Roger Williams, was passed to Alderman Gwilym Evans on the occasion of his marriage.

PROSPECTS OF BUHRY AND ASHBURNIIAM WORKS. Rumour has it that ere long the Burry and Ashburnlia-n Tinplate Works will soon be going. The re-starting of the former was almost a certainty up to this week, but we have yet to learn how the death of Mr. Jennings will affect, its progress. The situation is much clearer now than it was hereto- fore, The management at Ashbui nham have been approached, with the result that an offer of com- promising contracts, as was the case at Llangen- nech and Morfa has been made. The men are willing to offer the same terms as elsewhere.

CARMARTHENSHIRE COL- LIERS IN TROUBLE. I MR. D. R. WILLIAMS AND THE MAGIS- TRATE. I HEAVY PENALTIES ON DEFENDANTS. I At Carmarthen County Petty Sessions on Saturday, Thcs. Perkins, Ty'rllandre, and Dd. Tho- mas, farm servant at Bremenda-issa, both of Llan- arthney Parish, preferred charges of assault againt seven defendants, namely, Wm. Griffiths. John Davies, Rees Jones, Wm. Jones, Joshua Richards, John Jones, and Daniel Davies, all young colliers working in the neighbourhood of Cross Kauris. The case had been adjourned for three weeks. At the previous sitting Mr. James John, solicitor, who appeared for the prosecution, asked the bench to allow the case to be withdrawn, but, at the suggestion of the chairman (the Rev. 11. G. Law- rence, Middleton Hall) it was decided not to allow the plaintiffs to withdraw, but to adjourn it for three weeks, in order that sufficient evidence might be procured by the police against the defendants. On Saturday Mr. D. R, Williams, solicitor, IJan- elly, appeared to defend, and, at the opening, remarked that it was unfair that the Rev. Jt G. Lawrence should act as chairman, or at all as magistrate, in that case. He held that the chair- man had shown bias at the •previous sitting.—The Chairman repudiated the accusation, whereupon Mr. Williams produced a copy of a local paper which contained a full report of the prior hearing, remarking that if the chairman woald still repu- diate what was in black, he would be very happy to withdraw his objection. Mr. Williams then read the newspaper report, which the chairman practically admitted to be correct.—Mr. Williams • persisted in his objection, and the bench retired to consider it.—Upon their return Sir Lewis Morris said he had been asked to give the decision. He was not present at the previous sitting, but frurn what he could gather from the facts, as stated in the paper, he could not see that the chairman (the Rev. R. G, Lawrence) had said anything reflecting upon the parties in the ca.se. The chairman had merely spoken of the general disorderly conduct of young men in the neighbourhood of Llanarthney. The chairman had no more influence than any other magistrate, and simply took the chair by virtue of seniority. The Rev. R. G, Lawrence had wished to withdraw from the case, but the other magistrates had persuaded him to remain.—The case was then tried upon its merits. It appeared that on the night of December 19 the plaintiff Thomas tvas going along the road when he was struck by one of the defendants. He ran away and took shelter from his pursuers in the house of the plaintiff Perkins, The latter went out to remon- strate with the defendants, and he was hit above the eye with a. stone, and afterwards sat upon by three or four of the young men.-FintM varying from £ 4 4s. 6d. to C2 14s. Gd. were inflicted on the defendants, amounting in the aggregate to about £ 2-0.

VEGETARIAN JUBILEE. TO THE EDITOR. S.Tit,-The Vegetarian Society, which was founded in 1847, has now entered upon its fiftieth year, and will celebrate its Jubilee in the spring and autumn of the coming year. The Society has always had the twofold aim of inducing personal abstinence from flesh as food, and of the encourage- ment of the use in the general dietary of articles derived from the plant world. The late Sir Benjamin Richardson very truly observed the ol'tener we go to the vegetable world for our food the oftener we go to the first, and therefore to the cheapest, source of supply." The cattle bred and slaughtered to furnish the dinner table are them- selves plant-fed. These things being so," as Sir Henry Thompson has pertinently said, a, con- sideration of no small concern arises in relation to the economical management of the national resources. For it is a fair computation that every acre of land devoted to the production of meat is capable of becoming the source of three or four times the amount of produce of equivalent, value of food, if devoted to the production of grain. In other words, agiven area of land cropped with cereals and legumes will support a population more than threetimesasnumerousas that, which can be snsldn- ed on the same land devoted to the growth of cattle." Another advantage arising frornthe adoption of the vegetarian system would be the cessation of the revolting cruelty inseparable from the sea-transit of animals, and from death in the slaughter-house. Whilst this cruelty may be lessoned the irreducible minimum of pain involved in killing animals for the good of man must be so great as to be deplored by eveiy compassionate heart. Nor can it be doubted that the consumption of flesh-meat in this country is a factor in the production of disease. Health, economy, and bumarnty plead for vege- tarianism, whilst on grounds of sentiment and beauty there can beno doubt that the kindly fruits of the earth are preferable to the gory products of the shambles. The "V egetarian Society desires to mark its fiftieth year by a wide dissemination of what science and el hies have to teach concerniag the best diet for man, and for this purpose the n "I organised. Contributions may be sent either to the treasurer of the Vegetarian Society (D, Peter- street, Manchester), or the Vegetarian Federal Union, Memorial Hall, Farringdon-scfreet London. As there are no doubt many of your readers who would desire to examine this matter, T shall be glad to forward free to anyone sending his or her address. ( somcme of the publications in which the vegetarian question is practically discussed.—Yours, &c., ALBERT BROADBENT, The Vegetarian Society, Secretary 9, Peter Street, Manchester. I

County Petty-sessions on Wednes- day a collier, named William Thomas, was charged with unlawfully wounding his mother-in-law, Martha Thomas, at Loughor on the 18th inst.— The prosecutrix said she left her bed to prevent prisoner and her husband fighting, and prisoner, after beating her, hit her on the head wit h a poker till she was unconscious.-Police-constable Evans said that complainant camo to the police-station at two a.m. in her nightdress and covered with blood, and there was a nasty wound on her head—The Bench lined defendant 40s. arid costs or one month.

LLWYNYPIA FOOTBALLER IN I TROUBLE. I STEALING A RING FROM AN HOTEL. At Plymouth on Thursday, Thomas Saunders, a member of the Llwynypia Football Team, which toured in Devonshire at Christmas, was charged with stealing two gold rings from Mount Pleasant- Hotel, Plymouth, the property of Jane Hnrrell, hotel cook. The team stayed at the hotel on Christmas Day, and the rings were missed on Boxing Day. A detective went to Wales, where Saunders gave up the rings, saying that he fouud them in his pocket the day after leaving Plymouth. He also said he was intoxicated at the hotel. The rings were missed from a box in the bedroom.-Ile was fined £ 2, or 14 days' imprisonment.

I CARMARTHENSHIRE STAND- ¡ ING JOINT COMMITTEE. I THE MARRIAGE OF MR. GWILYM EVANS. A quarterly meeting of the Carmarthenshire Standing Toiiit Committee was held at the Shire Hall, Carmarthen, on Thursday, Mr. J. S. Tregoning presiding. The recent marriage of Mr. Gwilym Evans, Llanelly, was referred to by several gentle- men, and a vote of congratulation upon the inter- esting event was passed. It was decided to make a call of £2,000 upon the County Council for the maintenance of the police during the ensuing quarter. The Chief Constable (Mr. W. Phillips) gave in his report. P.O. William Rees, Llansawel, who had served in the force for 26 years, was superannuated upon his own application with a weekly pension of) 8s. 6d. It was reported that the Police Superannua- tion Fund amounted to 216,539. The question of site for a new police station at Ammanford was again discussed, and it was decided that Mr. W. N. Jones, Tirydail, should ascertain from Lord Dynevor's agent the precise terms upon which his lordship would sell two plots of land which had been already fixed upon.

MR. DUCKWORTH AS AUTHOR. Among the numerous school and college books published just now (says the Western Mail) is an excellent little work on "The reign of William I1 L and Mary n. the author of which is Mr. J. Duckworth, B.A., of Llanelly. The author is a recognised authority on educational matters, is principal of the Llanelly Pupil Teaehors' School,, and ex-president of the Assoeiation of Pupil Teachers' Instructors, posts which have afforded him decided advantages to learn the requirements of young men and women training for the scholastic profession. Mr. Duckworth, we believe, has been invited, also, to tender evidence in regard to pupil teachers before the Devonshire Commission, recently appointed. This book of his, he tells us in his pre- face, is intended primarily for scholarship students who intend to make a special study of this period in our history," and a, glance at its contents suffices to convince any competent reader that the author has performed his task with marked success. Mr. Duckworth lays no claim to orginality, but we fail to see why his book may not be considered as original as most of the school and college books now in vogue. Originality, we take it, largely con- ffists in the proper selection and use of materials and in adapting old materials to new purposes. If this properly defines the term, then this little work on the ago which immediately succeeded the Revolution of 1688 is eminently original indeed. The reader meets at every step with proofs that the author lias a complete grasp of the period. H, transports himself into the scenes and circumstances, the plots, the wars, and the otherwise stirring life of two hundred years ago, and tells the student all that he is required to know, and more, in order to satisfy the exacting examiners, Parliament under the House of Orange was a mighty factor in English politics, and Mr. Duckworth lays due stress on the great features in the form of laws and reforms then introduced. War also receives due attention, as do the lives of those who played leading parts in Church and State. The literary history of the period is carefully outlined, and a.t the close the student is supplied with a number of carefull v-pre- pared questions for self-examination, The book, whioh sells at- two shillings, is publIshed by Bennion Home, aud Smallman, of Newport, Salop,
