THE BOAT DISASTER OFF PENARTH.
THE BOAT DISASTER OFF PENARTH. .a Up to one o'clock to-day no tiding bad heen received at Penarth inspecting the boat, with its illfated occupant?, which was seen to go down rlear the Fiat Holms on the previous afternoon. The most general suppcsition now is that ;he boat sprang a leak, though there was a high sea running at the time of the catastrophe, and some incline to the belief that he little craft was swamped. Her sails were drawn m, and the suggestion that the boat (apsized is discarded. None of the ccupants of the wrecked boat could owim, according to what is stated by me of the spectators of the accident. Just previous to her going down some of the men were seen standing up in her and waving their bands, whilst at the same time crying for help. With • aspect to the number of men in the craft, it is stated by many that there were six on board. The boat did not belong to Penarth.

A MACHEN SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER IN DIFFICULTIES." A Trip to Weston and Back. At Newport borough polics-court to-day, before Messrs T. P. Wansbrough and J. Moses, Cor- nelius Roberts was charged with being drunk and disorderly at the Great Western Railway Station, and also with assaulting Cab Inspector Briffett. Shortly before 9.40 p.m. on Saturday the cab inspector saw the prisoner standing in front of the booking-office door. His face was covered with mud, as though lie had been in difficulties earlier that evening. He was very ttiuch excited, and was flourishing a walking- stick about, preventing passengers from taking their tickets. Briffett quietly asked him to stand aside to allow people to pass, but he de- clined to do so for such an insignificant hum- ,.as 118 was> atJd u-ed abusive language, Briffett ret"od half-a-dozen yards, in the hope tna. pnsonei s friends would take him away, but prisoner continued to.uaa bad language and to a bad language and to holloa, ana Briffett removed him. After- wards, as the inspector was answer- ing a lady a question as to the train she wished to travel by, prisoner went up to flim and deliberately struck him a severe blow in the left eve. The stone of the ring worn by prisoner cut Briffett's cheek, and it bled pro- fusely. Some of prisoner s friends held the inspector, pinning his arms that he should not Teturn the blow. Afterwards Briffett went to the infirmary, where the gash in .his cheek, an incii long, was sewn up, and prisoner meanwhile was taken into custody. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and explained that on returning from an excursion to Weston he partook of a couple of bottles of stout on board the steamer. Between the shaking caused by the rough passage and the beer, he completely lost himself. He was ^ery sorry for what had happened.

..c Attempts at Settlement. [CENTRAL NEWS TiiXEGKAM.] _n' VIENNA, Monday.—The well-informed Wiener AUgemeiner hears from London that Lord Salis- bury has accepted a proposal, made to him by M. de Giers, to refer to the Delimitation Commission the question which part of Zulficar belongs to Russia and which part to Afghanistan.
ITHE SITUATION.
I THE SITUATION. I fFI1031 TO-DAY'S DAII,Y TELEGRAPH.") The condition of affairs between Russia and England with reference to the reported concen- tration of troops at Zulfikar remains unaltered. There has been no fresh interchange of views on the subject between the two Governments, and no additional intelligence has been received regarding the military movements which have undoubtedly awakened apprehensions in many quarters that an incident not unlike that of Penj-deh may again befall. Our Government continue to regard the pre- sence of reinforcements of Russian troops on both sides of the Heri Rud with considerable misgiv- ings. The Russian Government, on the other hand, treat this movement as one of mere military convenience, and in no way intended to interfere with a good understanding between the two countries. The Ameer certainly does not take the latter view. It is, of course, difficult to know exactly the extent of the Russian reinforcements, but we believe we are correct in stating that our Government are in the possession of information tending to show that their numbers are in excess of any strictly pacific requirement. There does not appear to be any feeling of uncertainty on the part of the British Govern- ment with regard to the pacific intentions of the Emperor and the Foreign Minister of Russia, and nothing in this respect has arisen to modify the belief of the Government, as announced by Lord Salisbury, that the negotiations were being conducted on their side, as on ours, with an honest desire to a.ttain a peaceful solution. But it is felt that such an augmentation of the forces in Zulfikar and the neighbourhood at a time when all chance of a rupture was supposed to be past, requires a fuller explanation than has yet been vouchsafed, and that, in the absence of that explanation, the proceeding is not altogether devoid of an element of danger.

£ 10,000 TO BE GIVEN AWAY. I At the Mansion House police-court. George Edward Dalley, otherwise H. C. Edwards, was summoned for having in March, April, and May last, by false pretences, cheated and defrauded James Bunce, a tailor, living at Chatham, and others of their money. The defendant was charged with a fraud, alleged to have been com- mitted by means of a paper called The Household Journal, the first number of which was issued in March last. Having seen in a religious paper an advertisement stating that £10,000 was to be given away to subscribers of the paper in ques- tion, in different sums of £ 1,000, £ 500, and smaller sums, and pianos, gold watches, silk dresses, and other articles, the subscription of 2s being required, the prosecutor paid two sub- scriptions and collected five other subscriptions. When the time came for the distribution of prizes a notice appeared in the papers stating that the distribution was postponed for a short time, and asking for a small sum to be sent for the carriage of the prizes. Mr Buuce complied with all the conditions of the distiibution, and received a lithographic picture, worth about one- halfpenny, and afterwards a box of almost worth- less trinkets. Ultimately the summons was adjourned.

THE DOG, THE TRIPE, AND THE BOY. At the Southwark county-court, Judge Hol- royd tried a case in which the plaintiff, Charles Craner, a boy of 11 years, sought to recover the sum of £ 50 from Mr John Yeo, a livery-stable keeper in Long-lane, Berinondsey, for personal injuries. On Saturday, the 6th June last, plaintiff was asked by the defendant to go and feed his dog. He threw the dog a piece of tripe, and whilst he was turning his head to look for his brother, who was following him, the dog flew at him, caught him by the muscle of his left awn, pulled Inm to the ground, and refused to let him go until he was beaten on. The plaintiff was taken to Guy's Hospital, and was still an out- patient. In the absence of satisfactory evidence that the dog had previously bitten anyone, his Honour directed a non-suit, but at the same time expressed his sympathy with the boy

Shocking Conduct of a Baronet.…
Shocking Conduct of a Baronet. I SEDUCTION OF A GIRL OF 12. I At the Bow-street police-court, on Saturday, Mr W. Doveton Smyth, solicitor, attended before Sir James Ingham, accompanied by a lady named Wihdnson, for the purpose of making a complaint against a baronet, and to seek magisterial advice as to the best course the lady "should pursue with reference to the abduction and seduction of her daughter, aged 12 years.—Mrs Wilkinson, a lady- like person, and a widow, then stepped into the witness-box. She was understood to say that four years ago her step-daughter, then a child under 12 years of age, was a pupil at a boarding- school in the Effra-road, Brixton. While there a well-known baronet, after watching the school for some time, obtained an interview with the young child, and eventually induced her to go away with him, and, it was alleged, succeeded in effecting her ruin. She had ever since remained under his protection. The sad fate of the child had caused tne death of the applicant's husband, who, at the time of her daughter's seduction, was in a very weak state of health. Applicant com- plained that she had also suffered great personal annoyance at the hands of the baronet. She had gone to Hastings for the benefit of her health, and while there she was still persecuted. —Mr W. Doveton Smith handed up the name of the baronet, but this was done privately.—Sir James Ingham, having been informed of the above facts, said that as the alleged offences occurred at Brixton, that would be within the jurisdiction of the Lambeth police-court, and therefore referred the applicant to the Lambeth police-court.
John Wesley and his Wife.
John Wesley and his Wife. f AN UNHAPPY MARRIAGE. UNPUBLISHED LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER OF METHODISM. Great men are not always fortunate in their wives. Here are the salient points of a letter written by John Wesley to his wife, which a, cor- respondent of the New York Critic has brought to light. John Wesley was married in February, 1751, to Mrs Mary Vazeille, a merchant's widow in Threadneedle-street," who possessed a fortune of about 50,000dols., secured to herself and her four children. He was 48, she 41 :— Coleford, October 23, 1759. "idear Molly,—I will tell you simply and plainly the things weh. I dislike. If you remove them, well. If not, I am but where I was. I dislike your showing anyone my letters and private papers without my leave. "I dislike, 2, Not having the Command of my own House; not being at liberty to invite even my nearest Kelations, so much as to drink a Dish of Tea, without disobligiug you. I dislike, 3, The being myself a Prisoner in my own House: the having my Chamber door watched con- tinually so that no Person can go in or out, but such as have your Good Leave. I dislike, 4, The being but a prisoner at large, even when I go abroad, inasmuch as you are highly dis- gusted if I do not give you an Account of every Place I go to, and every Person with whom 1 converse. I dislike, 5, The not being safe in my own House. My House is not my Castle. I cannot call even my Study, even my Bureau, my own. They are liable to be plundered every day. You say, I plunder you of nothing but Papers.' I am not sure of that. How is it possible I should? I miss money too, and he that will steal a Pin will steal a Pound. But were it so, a Scholar's Papers are his treasure: My Journal in particular. 'But I took only such Papers as relate to Sarah Kyan and Sarah Crosby.' That is not trueWhat are Mr Landey s Letters to Them ? Besides, you have taken Parts of my Journal which relate t t neither One nor the Other. I dislike, 6, Your lieatnient of my Servants (tho' indeed they are not properly Mine). You do all that in you lies to muke their Lives a Burden to them. You browbeat, harass, rate them like Dogs, make them afraid to speak to me. You treat them with such Haughtiness, Sternness, Sourness, Surliness, Illnature, as never were known in ;>ny House of mine fcr near a dozen years. You forget even Good breeding, and use such coarse Language as befits none but a Fishwife. "I dislike, 7, Your talking against me behind my back, and that every Day and almost every Hour of the Day making my Faults (real or supposed) the standing Topic of your Conversa- tion. I dislike, 8, Your Slandering me, laying to my charge things which you know are false. Such are (to go but a few days back)' That I beat you.' Which you told James Burges. That I rode to Kingswood with Sarah Ryan, which you told Sarah Rigby and that I required you when we were first married never to sit in my presence without my leave. Which you told Mrs Lee, Mrs Fry, and several others and stood to it before my face. I dislike, 9, Your summon custom of saying things not true. To instance oniy in two or three Particulars. You told Mr Ireland 'Mr Vazzdla learnt Spanish in a Fortnight.' You told Mr Fry Airs Ellison was the author as to:my Intrigue in Georgia.' You told Mrs Ellison You never said any such tiling you never charged her with it.' You also told her, 'That I had laid a Plot to serve you as Sus"annah was served by the two Elders.' I dislike, 10, your extreme, immeasurable Bitterness to all who endeavour to defend my Character (as my Brother, Joseph Jones, Clayton Carthy), breaking out even into foul, unmannerly Lang-uage; such as ought not to defile a Gentlewoman's lips, if she did not believe one Word of the Bible." Wesley proceeds to give his wife "advices" upon these matters, concluding by stating that he administers them to her in the fear of God, and in tender love to your soul; nor can I give you a stronger proof that I am, Your affectionate husband, JOHN WKSLEY." Mary's life ended ten years before her hus- band's. She died in 1731, after having made him miserable for 30 years. Wesley survived her, living to the ripe age of 88. In a worldly way he had gained nothing by his marriage. It lost him his fellowship at Oxford, and at least temporarily alienated his brother Charles and his wife. "iI:¡r"a

A FRACAS IN CARDIFF MARKET. At the Cardiff police-court to-day, Martha, Rees, a young woman, was charged with being disorderly, using obscene language, also assault- ing Henry Stephens, and with damaging a quantity cf butter, lard, eggs, &c., at the Cardiff Market on Saturday. Defendant approached complainant's stall on Saturday afternoon in company with two other women. She inquired the price of several articles— butter, cheese, ham, eggs, etc. She purchased half a pound of ham for which she paid 4d, but this did not seem quite satisfactory to her, and on leaving she took a small lump of butter, and threw it at the keeper of the adjoining stall. He returned the complimentby shying the butter back. Complainant began to remonstrate at seeing his goods disposed of in a way that he did not opprove. She then took another piece of butter, and threw it at him. Her companions did the same, and when he was very nicely covered with butter they took up a number of eggs and threw them at him. This sport was varied by lumps of lard being thrown at him until he presented an amusing figure, being covered with butter and lard from head to foot, mixed with which were running streams of the yolk and the white of the eggs thrown at liim. Defendant denied taking up the butter, and said she only threw one egg, but her companions threw the butter and lard. She also alleged that the complainant struck her. This was denied, and the bench sent her to prison for one month with hard labour.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH GLAMORGAN. Mr J. T. D, Llewelyn at Cogan. I On Saturday evening Mr J. T. D. Llewelyn addressed a meeting of the electors at the school- room of the Methodist Chapel, Cogan Pill. There was a fairly good attendance of electors, but it was manifest from the frequent expres- sions of dissent that the Liberal element was present. Mr Corbett occupied the chair. Mr LLEWELYN delivered an address, in which of course, he described the foreign policy of Mr Gladstone as a policy of failure, and eulogised the administration of the Conservative party. In reply to a question, he declared himself against disestablishment of the Church, and in favour of the repeal of the laws of primogeniture. A vote of confidence in Mr Llewelyn having been proposed, an amendment was moved to the effect that it was inconsistent for a working man to vote for a Conservative candidate. The resolution was declared carried.

SPORTING NOTES. I 4p.I
SPORTING NOTES. I 4p. By George Frederick. Sporting men have had a surfeit of racing dur- ing the past week, and very little can be said in praise of the character of sport. The Liverpool Cup, like the Northumberland Plate, has sadly fallen off of late years, and the only redeeming feature in connection with last Wednesday's race was the exiting finish between Sandiway and The General. My selection, Quicklime, ran badly, and although he stripped in splendid condition it may be taken for granted that Lord Bradford's horse has seen his best day. Isobar gained an easy victory in the St. George's Stakes, which caused him to be in renewed request for the St. Leger. It is stated, however, that Sheraton may prove the best of Wadlow's pair, but for my own part I would rather stick to Isobar, who is undoubtedly a colt of more chan average merit. There was no other special feature in connection with the racing at Liverpool, and perhaps it would be as well it the third day was given up altogether. Kempton Park was a success as usual, and the meeting of Saraband and Sunrise in the Grand Two-year-old Plate resulted in the overthrow of the hitherto unbeaten son of Muncaster and Highland Fling. Mr Childwick's colt, however, was by no means disgraced, and the victory of his stable com- panion, Thunderstorm, on the following day in the International Plate proves what a smart pair of youngsters Saraband and Sunrise are. The July Handicap on Saturday was won by Albert Melville, who can gallop when in the humour, and Sadler fin- ished another winner in Childhood for the Oat- land Park Handicap. This young trainer has been exceedingly successful with his little team this season, which will undoubtedly secure him better patronage from owners in the future. Beyond stating that The Bard-continued his suc- cessful career at Manchester, the racing at Collono- polis calls for no comment, albeit the meeting was a very successful one in every way. Speculation on future events has been very tame during this week, and there is no change to not iu connection with the positions occupied by the various candidates for the St Leger. The weights for the Goodwood Stakes have been pub- lished, and forfeits will have to be declared to- morrow, Florence heads the list with 9st 71b, but it is just possible that Mr Hammond's mare will be found amongst the non-acceptors, in which case the weights will have to be raised all round. Blue Grass and Greenbank are weighted up to their last form, but Crim Tarter looks well in at 8st. It would be too much to expect Althorp, good colt as he is, to give 1st 81b and a year to Pcstcript, who has run very well on more than one occasion, and will be able to stay every inch of the Stakes course. Gaaig is pretty well in, and so also are Harvest, Louis d'Or, and Loch Kanza, but for the remainder very little can be said In thei favour. The chief event to be decided this week is the Leicestershire Cup cf ;62,000, and, judging from market movements, the race is certain to excite a good deal of interest. It may be taken for granted that there will be at least twelve starters, selected from the following list of Probable Starters and Jockeys. I Capfc Mat-hell's Lneray, oy 9st 7ib J Osborne *Mr Abington's MacMahou, 5y 9st 51b Webb Lord Zetland's Prism, 5y Sst 101b IV,-Ltts DUKE of Wcstmjnskr's Duke of Richmond, 4y SSD sib Archer Mr Gilbert's Despair, 6y Sst 21b c JLoates Mr Aldington's Necromancer, 3y 7st 121b C Wood 'Capt Machell's Queen Adelaide. 4y 7si 211, — Ihlke of Beaufort's liasterri Emperor, 4y 7st 21b E .I:u,in Mr Houldsworth's Royal X'er.n, 4y 7st ilooiy Mr Lefevro's Ducat. 3v 7st llb Tomlisson Lord Ilartinston's Corunna, 5y bsc lOlb Wall Co!. lieyward's Ordovix. 4y 6st 101b Luke Mr T Cannon's Reine Blanche, 5y ost 1,41b F Barrett "lr >aylor's Fast and Loos", 4y 6st 81b Rickaby Lord Bradford's Limelight, 4y ost 71b Tomlinson *Mr Lefevro's Wild Thyme, 4y 6st 71b *Mr Long's Condor, 4y 6st 71b — Lord Hastings's Barnacles, 3y ost 7Ib Lasbinaa *Doubtful starters. I doubt whether Energy will Le able to give the weight away over a mile to such good animals as Prhm, Duke of Richmond, and Despair, but at the same time, if selected in preference to his stable companion, Queen Adelaide, he is bound to be dangerous. Between Prism and Duke of Richmond it oubt to be a ciose battle, judging from their running in the Rous Memorial Stakes at Ascot. Racing men will remember thai in the Leicester Spring OupWadlow supplied the winner i:l Whiteiock, and also had the houour of training Isobar when he defeated Duke of Richmond and Prism at Ascot. Lovers of coincidences will perhaps note that the astute YVauiow has a iig'ntiy weigiited lour year old in Limelight engaged in the big race this week, and although her liook form does not say much for her chance, I hear tiiat the 1ll.:r0 is likely to land a urjz or two for Lord Bradford before the end of the sea-on. Winners this year like Royal I'ero, Corunna, Ordovix, Reine Blanche, and Wild Thyme are handicapped so closely together that it is diffi- cult to give a decided preference for one of them, but in goii:g for PRISM and CORUNNA I do not think I shall be far off the mark.

REPRESENTATION OF EAST GLAMORGAN.
REPRESENTATION OF EAST GLAMORGAN. Mr Bowen Rowlands, O.C., at 11 Fernclaie and Havod. On Saturday afternoon Sir Bowen Rowlands, Q.C., one of the Liberal candidates for Eastern Glamorgan, addressed a crowded meeting, com- prising some 700 persons, in the Asseinbiy-liall at Fern dale. Mr Meredith, manager, presided. Mr EVAN THOMAS moved, and Mr John Williams seconded, a vote of confidence in Mr Gladstone and the late Government. Mr DOWEN ROWLANDS, on ri.,inii to support the motion, was enthusiastically received. He promissed, with regard to mining questions, that all measures for the welfare of the working man, such as the proposed alterations in the Mines Regulations Act, should receive his full considera- tion. He would so endeavour to deal with labour questions as not to g-ive undue interest in favour of employers or workmen, but justice 45 between eacii. (Cheers.) Liberals had much reason to be proud IIf the Aylesbury election. Conserva- tives had been crowing over the results of some recent ( lections, and this liiig'at teach them not to look forward with too much confidence to the general election. (Cheers.) Wales at the present time, Liberal as it was, exhibited the spectacle of returning two Conservative mem- bers to Parliament who exercised a sort of dual control within narrow limits but Wales with the franchise would, lie ventured to think, exhibit the more complete spectacle of unity by returning only Liberals. (Cheers.) I The charge had been persistently ievelb at Liberalism tiiat it was mere revolu- tion ill disguise, that it was professed by peop who wanted to get at something not their own. But what country, he would ask, was niure law- abiding than Waies, which was Liberal and if IviLeraiism and good order went hand in hand there was nothing tliat would compel it to be divorced ? (Loud cheering.) Mr WILLIAM NICHOLAS proposed and Mr D. u JOXKS seconded a vote of thanks t > Mr Bowen Rowlands, and pledging the meeting to use the utmost endeavours to secure his return to Parlia- ment. Tne resolution was carried with great enthu- siasm, and with only one dissentient. In the evening Mr Bowen Rowlands addressed a meeting of about 400 persons assembled in the Old Bethel Chapjl, Hafod..Mr laris Williams presided. Sir IJOWKN" ROWLAND-, who was received with applause twice renewed, aid he took their Ir welcome as an expression that they did not desirn to. nave a candidate thrust upon thorn. (Continued applause.) Tt\py desired a principle of selection, which a properly constituted organisation should have given them in the first instance but of which they were deprived. (Hear, hear.) Speaking upon equality in religion, he regarded as the two essential ipriu.iples of Liberalism the altera- tion of the existing state of things when occasion aro,e,.tiid that the good of the many shouldbe consi- dered and not the interests of the few. Consequently privilege should be swept away. (Cheers.) There should be a. fair field and no favour. The elements of education should be taught to every youth in that country, and unfettered by sectarian or religious differences. Arrang-ement.s should be made so that the children of the very poor should have their education imparted to them by their father, the state, without making demands upon their miserable resources with which they were powerless to comply. (Loud cheers.) They must, as Liberals, also tind a way of dealing effectively with the growing anomalous institution, the House of Lords. (Hear, hear.) It was supposed that talent was hereditary, but if needed there were the amplest testimonies to bring forward that so far as any natural law or evolution operated talent no more descended than wooden legs. (Laughter and cheers.) The leasehold question was most important to have settled, and it must be settled by adopting a scheme which would either enable a man whose industry ar.d capital had erected a house to buy that house at a fair valuation, or else that the owner of the soil, to whom the occupier was probably paying a large ground rent, should be liable to make compensation for increase of value. (Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then rose to make a motion accepting Mr Bowen Rowlands as the Liberal candidate, and pledging assistance to secure his return. Mr WM. ETANS, from the audience, proposed an amendment that the names of Mr Bowen Rowlands and of Mr Alfred Thomas be submitted to the meeting simply. Mr T. THOMAS, also from the audience,seconded. The CHAIRMAN at once put the name of Mr Rowlands, which was received with great acclamation and the uplifting of a large number of hands. The name of Mr Alfred Thomas was responded to by between 50 and 60 handi up- raised. After further cheering from Mr Rowlands' supporters, the meeting terminated, ¿ ✓
--TO-DAY'S POLICE. ;
TO-DAY'S POLICE. CARDIFF. WIFE BEATING.—At the police.court to-day- before Mr Valpy, assistant stipendiary—Michael Quin; an old man, was charged with assaulting and beating his wife, Catherine Quin.- Complainant said that she was the third wife of the defendant. For a long time he had ill-treated her, but on Tuesday last be returned home and began to abuse her, and threw a plate at her, striking her on the head. The complainant was not much injured, and the defendant was fined 10s and costs. ASSAULTING A MOTHSK.—Daniel Riley, a young man, was sent to prison for one month for assault- ing his mother, Catherine Riley, on the 28t.h May. The defendant absconded wlll" the sum- mons was issued, and the complainant now wished to withdraw the charge. STEALING A WATCH. Catherine Wolfe, a. young woman with an infant in her arms, was charged with stealing a silver watch, &c., of the value of E2 10s, the property of G. Tucker, ork the 15th inst. The complainant, who lives in Severn-road, Canton, took the defendant to his house, as she pleaded poverty. He gave her sornfe food and drink. He had a watch. He took tha watch and chain from his pocket, placed them on the table, left the room for a few minutes, and on his return defendant had left the house witb the watch. Defendant pleaded guilty, and wa& sent to prison for four months with hard labour. ALLEGED YIOLKNT ASSAULT.—At the police- court to-day, John Kennessey, a labourer, was charged on a remand with assaulting William Williams, thereby inflicting bodily harm, on the 26th ult. The prisoner had been remand several times, as the injured man was unable to attend. Mr H. Morgan Rees appeared for the defendant. Complainant said that be was a. carpenter. On the 26th ult. he was in a house in Mary Ann-street. Prisoner came into the house, and while he (complainant) was sitting on a chair, prisoner rushed at him, and. struck him with bis fist on the face several blows. They struggled together and went into the street, and here complainant fell. While on the ground the prisoner kicked nim several times until his face was a mass of bruises. Complainant lost all recollection of what took place aiterwards, but he was subsequently removed to the Workhouse, where he was attended by Dr. Sheen. A witness gave evidenee that there seemed to have been a quarrel and a fight. When outside Wiiiiams attempted to kick Ken- nessey in the stomach, and in doing so he fell. Complainant had been drinking for days, and by half-past uine o'clock on the morn- ing of the assault complainant had drauk half at pint of whiskey. This witness was also posilive that the cause of complainant's falbng was an effort by him to kick the prisoner. Dr Sheen, the medical officer of the Cardiff union workhouse, said that the complainant was brought to the workhouse on the Saturday following. He was suffering from erysipelas in the face and delvriuvv tremens, the result of excessive drinking. His face was so swollen that he could not say whether the face had been injured. The erysipelas was the result of au injury, but that might have been caused by a fall. The man's life was in danger for some time, but that was the result of the com- bined effects of drink and erysipelas. The bench, under the circumstances, dismissed the case. NEWPORT. AN OMNIBUS-DR.] YEP. S SUN OAT OUT.-At the borough police-court, this morning, Samuel Bald- win, driver of one of Mr Perry's 'busses, was charged with being drunk and incapable in charge of a horse and tr; p cm the Marshes-road OIl Sunday evening.—The prisoner hired the horse and trap, and went for a drive to Pontypool. On the way back lie got very drunk on the road, and a imui named eMrchant picked him up after he had fallen out of the trap. Merchant shortly afterwards saw r. C. Wheeler, and handed the property over to him. Prisoner, who was follow- ing near, was so far gone that lie had to be put into the trap to get him to the PL)Iice-statioii. Fined 20." or 14- days' imprisonment. SMASHING THE HOUSEHOLD CLOCK.—Alfred Howard, boiler-maker's labourer, was charged before the same court wjtli wilfully damaging a clock and otaer articles of furniture, belonging to Mary Ann White, widow, Castle-street, Pill. The prisoner had lodjed at prosecutrix house for three or four years, and two years since was committed for trial at the quarter sessions for stealing a watch from her house. Latterly pri- soner had behaved very badly to his landlady. He frequently demanded money of her, and enforced his demands by smashing the furniture. On Saturday he did L5 worth of damage.-Pri. soner alleged that the house was one ol iil-repute, and that drinking went on continuously from Saturdays to Mondays. During noisy intervals of these debauches the poker had a knack ot flying about. The magis- trates made enquiries of the police as to the character of tiie house, and it appeared that prosecutrix had kepr. a house of ill-fame in another part of the town. The prisoner was fined 31s, including damage, or 28 days' imprisonment. "MAKING" A SOVEREIGN.—James Everett, shoebiacK, aud Benj unin, second-hand clothes deait-r, were charged before the same court witn stealing ai d receiving a sovereign, the money of Eiam .L ;,y or.
