TICHBORNE. ——— — m fAMOUS CLAIMANT'S DAUGHTER SENT TO PRISON. CURIOUS CASE. At the Old Bailey to-day Theresa Mary Agues Doughty Tichborne, aged forty seven, doscri/bed as an actress, pleaded guilty to a charge of sending to the Earl of Granard a letter threatening to kill and murder Miss Denise Greville, and was sentenced to six months in the second division, and a further six mont hs in default of find- ing sureties to be of good behaviour on leaving prison. To another indictment, charging her with sending a letter threatening to ac- cuse biaxy Gwendoline, Lady Doughty Tichborne, of fraudentiy concealing the last will or codicil of Henry Alfred Doughty Tichborne with a view to ex- torting money thereby.. She plea-ded not guilty. Prosecuting council said defendant was the daughter of the ntooiious Tichborne claimant, whose real name was Arthur Orton, and who W.a6 con- victedoi perjury in the name of Cactro in connection with a claim to the Tich- borne Estates. Annoying Letters. I Prisoner had for some years been subjecting the Tichborne family and their connections by marriage to a species of anAoyance of letters and postcards, with the object, counsel submitted, of extorting money. For year she had written in the name of Alexander, which she said was adopted for stage purposes, but he did not know she had ever been on the stage. At first her letters were simply begging letters, and in response to one the late Sir Henry Tichborne sent her £ 25. Taking advantage of this, she pestered the family with letters. In 1911, after the death of Sir Henry, she wrote to the family solicitors: "If he (Sir Joseph Tichborne) would give us .?10,000 we will promise not to ask him for any m-ore." Claimed Relationship. -I Later she wrote to teir Joseph claim- ing to be a relative, and saying she was fully determined, unless he made some definite arrangement, to leave no stone unturned to cau-se him and his mother evry annoyance she could. Counsel proceeding to deal with letters defendant sent to the Earl of Graaard respecting money matters, and pointing out that she could prove the case against her father was a con- spiracy and a gigantic swindle, and that unless somethmg was arranged she would put the whole thing before the King. Threat to Shoot. Deefndant eventually wrote threat- ening to shoot MJ&S Greville, who was about to be married to Sir Joseph Tich- borne. Defendant now expressed regret, saying she had no intention of harming Miss Greville. The second indictment, to which defendant pleaded not guilty, was not proceeded with.

THE COUNCIL.
THE COUNCIL. I BRYNMiLL RESIDENTS PROTEST I AGAINST A GAHAGE. APPOINTMENTS. The Swansea Town Council met on Wednesday, the Mayor (Mr. Dd. Wil- liams) presiding. The Town Clerk read a letter from re- sidents in Malvern-terrace with refer- ence to a petition against the erection of a motor garage at the rear of 90, Bryn-road. The letter stated that the residents would like to send a deput-t- tion to represent them at the council meeting in support of thej>etition. The Town Clerk said it would be impos- sible to receive a deputation having re- gard to the Standing Orders of the Council, and lie had replied to that effect. Bryn-road Garage. The Clerk then read the memorial which was signed by 61 residents. They felt sure that if this garage was erected others wcnild be erected by residents in Bryn-road in their gardens adjoining Mai vern-ter race to the danger of the public using the terrace. The road was narrow, being Jess than 20 feet from kerb to kerb, with a stoep gradient at each end, so that the use of such a road by mptors would be a source of serious danger to pedestrians and to crildreD. Cars standing outside the various garages would invariably lead to obstrutcion of the highway, and their erection was entirely opposed to the understanding of the residents who had purhcase dtheir respective pro- perties. The road was designed and laid out for residential pro- perties, and if it had been contemplated that Malvei-n-terracc was merely to be a back lane for motor garages, then it would havte been quite unnecessary to have made it as wide as it was. They strongly pro- tested against the passing of the plan for this garage, and in this as in other matters they expected the council to administer their powers so as to secure equal treatment and not favour of one at the expense of others. They ear- nestly requested the council to consider not only their building bye-laws, but their powers as a highway authority. If such a structure was erected it would remain a monument of injusaice done to their memorialists. Mr. Powlesland said it should have been made clear to the deputation that they could only approach the council through the Parliamentary Committee. As the matter was mentioned in the j Higtr.vay Committee's report, dis- cussion was deferred. Electricity Station Strike. The Mayor moved the adoption of the minutes of the Council of the Council in committee re strike at the Electricity Station. Mr. Devonald seconded. The Town Clerk reported that the Council had met on Wednesday morn- ing when a letter from Mr .Prussman to Ald. Merrells was read. The corres- i pondence dealt fully with the question of seniority, I and the writer suggested that the question of men permanently employed should be divided into two parts—outside and inside—and that should a question of promotion be broubht about in the inside department, the senior man in that department should be promoted if it was thought that he were fit a.nd proper. The letter was considered by the Council, and it was recommended that all workmen who had been employed as temporary men in the Electricity Sta- tion for twelve months be considered as permanent workmen. After considerable discussion, the re- commendation of the committee was passed. I «■ ——— PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. I .Drainage Scheme for the Town Under I Consideration. Mr. Matthews moved the adoption of the Parliamentary and General Pur- poses Committee, and in doing 60 re- ferred to the suggested 30 feet roadway improvement on the foreshore. He isaid that the committee could prevail with the London and North Western Railway to meet on the question, but they had prevailed upon the company to delay the matter. Mr. Matthews said he hoped to arrange a conference between the railway company and Har- bour Trust with in the next few days. With reference to. the Town Hill Tramways Mr. Matthews observed that the inquiry was held yesterday, and he wished to thank all those who came forward and gave evidence in the sup- port of the Corporation. They had given a good service to the council and also to the inhabitants of Swansea. Mr. Matthews further referred to the drainage scheme of the town and re- marked that the committee had re- ceived the report of Mr. Taylor, and he hoped to call a meeting within the next few days. The Mayor supported Mr. Matthews in his thanks to all those who had given evidence in the Town Hill tram- way inquiry. Appointments. It was decided to appoint Mr. J. H Davies, Borough Estate Office, to the position of building accounts clerk at a salary of P-100. Mr. Wm. Owen moved, and Mr. Davies seconded, that a -ecord of the appointments and salaries ;n all de- partments other than the education Committee, within the past five years be supplied. Alderman Merrells referred to the presence of heads of departments at the meeting, and remarked they would be better employed in their offices. He suggested the adoption of' methods whereby needless»attendance could be avoided. Mr. Colwill, supporting, said the ap- pointments in the council had grown like mushrooms. I Theatre Licenses. The licenses of the Grand Theatre and the Theatre Royal were renewed. A suggestion was made by the Hon. Odo Vivian that smoking should not be permitted at the Grand Theatre on Friday nights. Mr. Thomas Byrne, resident manager, regretted his in- abilityability to give any undertaking without instructions from his Londoh management. Lion Stores. In moving th eminutes of the Estates Committee, Mr. Tutton said the holder of the license of the Lion Stores had offered to make a, bargain which the committee thought reasonable. The council's interests were safeguarded.

PARLIAMENT.-I
PARLIAMENT. I (Special to the "Leader") I HOUSE OF COMMONS, Wednesday. The Speaker took the chair at 2.45. I Mr. Hunt asked the First Lord of the Admiralty why in the cominf naval manoeuvres Great Britain was to have 25 battleships and the enemy only 16, when on his own showing next year Germany would have 21 ships of the Dreadnought type ready lor immedi- ate war at her selected moment, whilst Britain would only have 18 ships of the Dreadnought type in home waters im- mediately ready for war at her average moment to defend us against invasion and conquest, and what, therefore, these manoeuvres were to prove or show. Mr. Churchill said that in accordance with custom the opposing sides in the coming manoeuvres would be "Black" and "Red" respectiveJy, with imagin- ary countries, imaginary territory, and. imaginary objects, and he deprecated the hon. member's attempt to add a further element of the imaginary. (Laughter.) In any case he could not under the Admiralty rules contribute to such a discussion. He did not admit that the statement in the question re- presented the true balance of strength, I Army Air Service. Colonel Seely informed the Marquis of Tullibardine that he was in com- munication with the Treasury with re- gard to the establishment of a separate department at the War Office to ad- minister the Army Air Service. The head of this new department would be Brigadier-General Henderson, an ex- perienced air pilot, as Director-General. I Occurrences on the Rand. Mr. Asquith, replying to Mr. 31artin and Mr. Outhwaite, said the Govern- ment fully recognised that the House should have a nopportunity of discuss- ing the employment of Imperial troops during the recent disturbances in South Africa. Such a discussion could not, however, be properly carried on in the absence of fnll and authentic informa- tion. The Government understood that that despatch from Lord Gladstone was now on its way, and as soon as it arrived it would be laid on the table. Mr. Outhwaite: Can we take it an opportunity will be given for discussion of this matter in the House after re- ceipt of the despatch? Mr. Asquith: Certainly.

I ENGLISH CROWN SPELTER COMPANY. I The thirteenth annual meeting of the English Crown Spelter Company (Limited), whose works are at Swansea, was held at the company's offices in London. Mr. J. E. Champney, chairman, said the report showed that 8,717 tone of raw cala- mine and blende were raised from the mines during the year, and 9,369 tons of dis- cariche were treated in the dressing works. These produced 8,36 tons of calcined c mine and blende net dry weight. The out- put of metal for the year was 6,217 tons, as against 8,24 tons in the previous year. The net results of the pombined operations of mining, smelting, and dressing, after allow- ing for depreciation, showed a profit of Lll,863, which, with the balance brought for- ward, gave a total amount of £ 17,530. The interim dividend of 6d. per share. paid in December, left an available balance of £ 15,430. The Chairman pointed out that the balance-sheet had been adversely affected by the coal eta-ike and the furnace workers' strike last year, but the profit on the year's working, after deduction for depreciation, I was almost identical. As a matter of pre- caution. in view of the serious fall in the price of spelter, they had had to recommend a decrease from Is. 3d. to 6d. on the shares. They also recommended that CS,000 should be added to the reserve fund, which would have the effect of providing more working capital. of which they were seriously in need. Their property account stood at £ 66,855, an increase of nearly £ 5,000. The increase of costs at the mines had been arrested, and the works were showing favourable results, but the cost of raising j ore must increase year by year. He hoped the outlay in Swansea, and Italy would re- I sult in economical working. Concluding, I I the Chairman paid a tribute to the late Mr J. Richardson Prancia, who was a member of the Board for many years. A dividend of 6d. per share, making 5 per cent, for the year, was declared, and Mr. W. H. Edwards, Hill House, Skefcty, Swansea, was elected a director of the Board. TO-DAY'S MARKETS. CORK BUTTER MARKET. Cork, Wednesday.—Supply, average; de- mand. steady. Weather, showery.

WOOTTON'S WINNINGS. WHAT HIS BETTING TRANSACTIONS REALISED. Mr. Richard Wootton, trainer of; race horses, gave further evidence in the King's Bench Division in support j of his action for libel against the pro- prietors of the "Winning PQst" journal, and Mr. Sievier, its editor. The latter further cross-examined Wootton directing attention to the running of horses and their varying form. Sievier submitted that VI ootton made E4,000 a year by betting, but Wootton did not think so, though he could not give the exact sum. Mr. Wootton denied the allegations of the inconsistent running of his horses and of the instigating of "pull- ing" by his jockeys. He repudiated emphatically the suggestion that he laid himself out to rob Mr. Hulton over his horse Lomond. Mr. Hul-ton vi-a4s the best friend he ever had in England and knew everything he did.

There was a long shaft on which was a driving poUey, and the lad was struck by the belt and sus- tained a fractured skull. The machinery was not suffiiently protected. The shaft revolved at 200 revolutions a minute. Wm. Wade said on this day in ques- I tion he was engaged in taking bricks off a press and putting them Vi1 a barrow., Something happened and he was removed to the Hospital where he remained for three weeks.

I MUMBLES TENNIS COURTS. I I SUCCESS OF BOWUNC. SCHEME I JUSTIFIES FURTHER EXPERIMENT. ) A meeting of the Mumbles Works ) and General Purposes Committee was j held on Tuesday at the Council Cham- ber, Mumbles, Mr. Harry Beynon pre- siding. The Surveyor (Mr. W. P. Puddi- combe) reported that the work on the Caswell pumping engine house was completed, and that the tar-spraying of the roads would be completed by the end of this week Complaints had been received from one or two residents of Caswell with regard to the noise made by the engine during pumping operations. The Sur- i veyor stated that the noise was now abated to a great extent. He also in- formed the Council that the engine was pumping from 215,000 gallons to 260,000 gallons of water per day, which lie estimates at between 30 to 40 gal- lons per head of the population of 6,500. I caswell Refreshment Structure.

An application was sent in by lady residents of the Mumbles, asking the j council to lay out tennis courts on the. vacant piece of land adjoining the bowl- ing green. Councillor John J. Jones said that he was prepared to support the appli- cation on the ground that the steps which the council had taken with re- gard to the bowling green was per- I fectly justined. The tennis courts would make that part of the village very attractive, and no doubt the tennis courts would prove remunera- tive. After some discussion, Mr. Jones moved, and Mr. F. E. Beer seconded, I that the application be acceded to. [ Hackney Carriages. Applications for brake licenses were received from Messrs. Moses Lee and I Stratton and Sons. Swansea.
