THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC ON THE GOLD COAST. Licensed victuallers will be interested to httw that so far from bad rum and gin producing ill effectli on the natives of the West Coast of Africa, these spirits are consumed freely by the blacks with perfect impunity. No staple, says Consul Livingstone in his commercial report on Old Cala- bar for last year, sells better iu that district than rum and gin. There is no restriction on the liquor trade it pays no tax or duty to our own or to any other Government.

WELSH MEMBERS AND WELSH CONSTITUENCIES.
WELSH MEMBERS AND WELSH CONSTITUENCIES. BY ONE WHO KNOWs THlm I CHAPTER XI. I LORD HENRY SOMERSET, M.P. I After what has already been said with re- ference to the special cliamt4?risties of th constituency of Monmouthshire, it is almost unnecessary to remark that the connection of the Beaufort taniily with the representation of the county has a very peculiar appropriate- ness. All that has been remarked in this re- spect with regard to the Morgans may be urged, with increased force, in Speaking of the Somersets. There is scarcely any constituency in England, and there is certainly none in Wales, the atmosphere of which is more thoroughly impregnated with the feeling that the grand historical claims of a distinguished family are deserving, even in this utilitarian age, of recognition, than is that of Monmouthshire. And there is assuredly no family which possesses stronger claims to such recognition than that of the Somersets. Sons of the heirs of the Kings of the Sea," their names are associated'with almost every stirring page in English history since the days of Old John of Gaunt, time-honoured Lancaster," to whom their origin is traced. Warriors, statesmen, and scholars have been numbered among the ancestors of the young nobleman who HOW shares with Mr. Octavius Morgan the representation of Monmouth- shire. There were Earls and Dukes of Somerset, the immediate descendants of John Beaufort, tho eldest son of John of Gaunt, who rushed forward with the bravest of them when "St. George for merry Eng- land" resounded through the battlefields where the Plantagenqts strove to permanently plant the English standard on the plains of France. But it was Charles Somerset, the natural son of the last Duke of Somerset who, by his extraordinary innate ability, combined with the favour shown to him by Henry VII, on account of their common descent from John of Gaunt, who may be specially regarded as the earliest representative of the Somerset family in its relation to the county of Monmouth. Successively raised to the dignities of Admiral of the Fleet, Ambassador to the Emperor, Knight of the Garter, and Captain of theGuards, it was by his marriage with Elizabeth, the heiress of William, Lord Herbert of Raglan, Chepstow, and Gower, that he secured the wealth and the territorial position which have since made the Somersets a living power in South Wales. Succeeding to the title of his father-in-law, lie was summoned to Parliament under the title of Lord Her- bert by Henry VIII., and in 1514 he was created Earl of Worcester. True to the political principles to which the family has ever adhered, Henry, the fifth Earl of Wor- cester, gallantly upheld the Royal cause during the civil war, and bore practical testi- mony of his attachment to the King by his defence of Raglan Castle against Fairfax in 1040. His devotion cost him the sequestration of his estates during the Protectorate, but he was rewarded by that which, in default of more substantial re- muneration, lay within the power of his Royal Master to givo him-an advancement to the dignity of a Marquisate. It was the second Marquis of Worcester who, more than those who went before him or have come after him, vindicated the claims of the family to a renown more lasting, if not more splendid, than that won by his predecessors on the hard-fought fields where Frenchman and Englishman, Cavalier and Roundhead, met in deadly conflict. That Edward, the second Marquis of Worcester, was a man of practical administrative ability may be inferred from the fact that to him was entrusted the Lord Lieutenantship of North Wales-in those days an ottice which was no sinecure. But his name has not been handed down in hon- ourable tradition so much as that of the man who, in these unsettled times, preserved order among the Merry Monarch's Welsh subjects, than as that of one who, almost in the in- fancy of modern mechanical science, shadowed forth the principle of the steam-engine in his "Century of Inventions." Thenceforward the name of the Somersets became associated, not only with the grand old principles of poli- tical Constitutionalism which have made Eng- land the freest and, at the same time, the most orderly nation under the sun, but with the movements in the direction of enlightened scientific progress by which the last two centuries have been specially distinguished. In their case, therefore, we find precisely that combination of tirm at- tachment to all that is venerable and worthy of admiration in our ancient national in- stitutions, with the intelligent appreciation of the necessity for improving the material and social conditions of English life, which constitutes the creed of the Conservative party in 1873. The traditions of such a family, as impersonated in one of its mem- bers, might gladly be accepted by a much more eswant constituency than that of Monmouthshire, as forming a model of Par- liamentary representation. It was the son of the scientific marquis who was raised to the title of Duke of Beaufort. It is even more to our present purpose to remember that he was made Lord President of Wales and the Marches. The record of his progress through Wales in that capacity has a historical and arclwological value which is constantly recognised by the late gleaners in the field of Welsh antiquities. The ever-strengthening ties between the suc- ceeding Dukes of Beaufort and Monmouth- shire had the ett'ect in 1701 of securing the return as member for the county of Lord Charles Noel Somerset. The prototype of James Watt — the second gar-had already sat for the county from 1000 till 1007 but after his retirement there is a long hiatus until the advent, as a legislator, of the above-mentioned Lord Charles Noel Somerset. In 179!) General Lord R. E. II, Somerset, the fourth son of Henry, fifth Duke of Beaufort, was returned for the borough of Monmouth, and, since that date, there has been no solution of con- tinuity in the connection of theSoniersetswith either the county or the borough constitu- ency" The Reform Bill, great as was the temporary fillip it gave to Liberal- ism elsewhere, had no effect in shaking the devotion of the electors of Monmouthshire to the principles of which the Beaufort family were the living embodiments. Lord Granville Charles Henry Somerset, who had up to that time been sitting in Parliament as the representative of the borough, was elected for the county, along with Mr. Williams, of Llangibby, who, as has already been related, stepped into the seat which the Morgans of Tredegar do not appear, at that time, to have cared to contest. It was not until 1847 that another contest took place in the county. The question at issue on that occa- sion, very curiously, is interesting as illustrating how alone it is possible for any difference of opinion, serious enough to excite apprehension, can arise in the county of Monmouth. It was no Radical who, in 1847, dared to measure his strength against the Toryism of the Somersets. The contest arose simply out of the temporary split-long since healed Lip-wliieh was created in the ranks of the Conservative party by the alteration of Sir Robert Peels views with regard to the repeal of the Corn Laws. Lord Granville Somerset, in opposi- tion to the views of most of his family, fol- lowed Sir Robert Peel in his change of opinions, and at the election of 1847, he found, as a rival in the field, his cousin, Captain Edward Arthur Somerset, who was supported by the late Duke of Beau ort. In spite of the fact that the rival candidates had equally the advantage of belonging to the popular and powerful family of Beaufort, and that Lord Granville possessed the valuable prf.itin, which attaches to present occupation and lengthened service, he was able to retain his seat only by the small majority of i ■ And this in spite of more general popularity —elsewhere than in Monmouthshire—ot the policy represented by Lord Granville Somerset, as opposed to those of his un- successful opponent. It would be dinicult to imagine a more convincing proot of an initiatory proposition that Monmouth- shire is to be regarded as an essentially Conservative county—a stronghold which even the most sanguine of Radicals is not likely to assail with any assured hope of success. This truth was rendered more than ever manifest by the result of the election in 18ttf to which allusion has already been made. The event, however, is worthy of another passing notice in connection with its refer- ence to the legislative history of the Somer- sets. The Captain Somerset who failed to obtain the seat of Lord Granville WAS elected on the death of the latter only a I year afterwards—in 1848. Being promoted, m the meantime, to the rank of colonel, he continued, without interruption, to repre- sent the county until 1859, when, being chosen by the Duke of Cambridge for a staff appointment, he was obliged to accept the Chiltorn Hundreds. He was succeeded by auotherrelatiou, Colonel Poulett G, Somer- set, who, along with Mr. Octavius Morgan, held the representation at the period of the general electioninl808. We have already recorded the failure of theattemptmadeatthis (for the purposes of Liberal policy) most favourable occasion to snatch a victory in Monmouthshire for the enemies of ecclesias- tical establishments. The result has a very important bearing upon the probable out- come of any future effort to set up the stan- dard of Radicalism in Monmouthshire under the ballot. Thoroughly as Colonel Clifford was beaten, even the votes which he secured were obtained only at the expense of setting to work a certain" screw," the influence of which is peculiarly well-known in South Wales. Cha- racteristically Conservative as we have shown Monmouthshire to be, it was evident to those who took the responsibility of Col. Clifford's election upon their shoulders that, if he were to have the ghost of a chance of success, it must be by the introduction of some element foreign to the normal political atmosphere of the county. That desideratum was found in thepolitical influence which is so incongruously exercised in the Principality by the ministers and deacons of Dissenting chapels. It is true that the scandal of mixing up religious observances with election addresses is not so obtrusive in Monmouthshire as in some other parts of the Principality, but that was certainly not the fault of the Radical election-mongers in 1808. Colonel Clifford, it is true, did not rival some of the more brilliant pulpit appearances of Mr. Sartoris in Carmarthenshire, to which we shall have occasion to refer by and by, but he did not disdain to make use of the chances of addressing Dissenting audiences in places and under circumstances in which a considera- ble amount of spiritual pressure was brought to bear upon them. Such were the wea- pons which were, in desperation, ineffectually resorted to for the pur- pose of storming the stronghold of Monmouthshire Conservatism, and they are weapons which will be rendered almost powerless by the operation of the Ballot. Whether or not this be a desirable result, it is certain to arrive at the next election. There is another aspect of the result of the poll which has a certain interest. Mr. C. 0. S. Morgan and Mr. Poulett Somerset were conjointly the Conservative candidates. They represented precisely the same views, and it is certain that Colonel Somerset was at least as popular, personally, as Mr. Octavius Morgan, and yet Mr. Morgan obtained 236 votes more than did Colonel Somerset. This fact points to the loyalty with which the Somersets and their friends, even in the districts where their own influence is paramount, took care that the votes of the electors favourable to their cause should be divided between the two Conservative candidates. The poll-book, however, shows that a similar amount of care to secure a complete Conservative vic- tory had not been taken in the localities where the Morgans have special interest, and in which there is a disproportionate number of plumpers in favour of Mr. Octavius Morgan. Colonel Poulett retired, on account of ill- health, in 1871, and his place waa filled, without opposition, by Lord Henry Somerset, or, to give his name in full, since each of the Duke of Beaufort's sons bears thepnenomen of Henry, Lord Henry Richard Charles Somerset. His lordship is the second son of the present Duke, and was born in 1849. To speak of a past political career under these circumstances would be absurd, seeing thatwehave no phenomenal Pitts now-a-days. But the youthful member has already given fair promise of fulfilling the expectations of those who know the noble and manly qualities which have endeared the Beau- fort Somersets to their Monmouthshire neighbours. Living a good deal at Troy House, near the town of Monmouth, he has already won the golden opinions of all with whom he has been brought into contact. It is no secret that, in addition to his hereditary love of outdoor sports, Lord Henry possesses a cultivated taste and a love for the fine arts which cannot fail to stand him in good stead in his public life. Above all-which is more important for our present purpose-he has given evidence of his firm and intelligent adhesion to the political principles which are equally the characteristic of the county and of the family.
RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
RAILWAY ACCIDENTS. DOUBLE COLLISION NEAR BOLTON. BOLTON, SUNDAY. A terrible railway accident occurred on Saturday night, about 10 minutes to 6 o'clock, between Bolton and Los tick Junction, on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, from Bolton to Preston. The 5.28 passenger train from Manchester, via Bolton, to Preston and the North, arrived at Bolton in per- fect safety, but on continuing it oollided with a luggage train, part of the vans of the latter having become smashed at Gilnow, a quarter of a mile from Bolton. The collision was terrific, a number of the luggage vans being thrown completely on to the up line. Many of the passengers were severely injured, and those who were able got out of the train to assist in removing the carriages from the up line on which they were thrown, At this juncture the train from Southport to Bolton, which was then due, was aeen approaching. The fireman of the Bolton and Pres- ton train, John Wilson, jumped off the engine, and endeavoured by signals to prevent the approach of the Soutliport train, but, in spite of every precau- tion, the Southport train dashed into the lug- gage vans which had been thrown oil to the line, this causing a double collision, and afterwards dashed into the passenger train from Bolton. The damage to railway stock, as may be imagined, was great, and the scene of the double accident revealed a terrible destruction of property. The vans of the luggage train which had become detached from the fore part of the train were thrown both on the left and right of the line, and those which were run into by the Southport train were smashed to atoms. Several of the passengers by the train from Bolton to Preston leaped out of the train into a brook which runs by the side of the line, and were immersed up to their waists, others were thrown from one side of the carriage to the other, and the panic occasioned by the knowledge that after the first collision the train from Southport was then approaching was very great No leas than ten persons have reported themselves as in- jured more or less seriously, whilst others have been removed to their homes, or to lodgings in Bol- ton. The persons most seriously injured, are two women, who were travelling from Bolton to Pres- ton, and who lie in a dangerous state, suffering [ from injuries to the spine and shock to the nervous system; fatal results are not anticipated. In the other cases the injured persons were conreyed from the scene of the collision to the Bolton station, where they were attended by Dr. Scowcroft and Dr, Mallett, accommodation being provided for them at the refreshment rooms. Amongst the in- jured was an infant two months old, which was shockingly cat about the head and face, through coming into contact with an opposite seat whilst sitting on its mother's knee. The line was blocked for seven hours, both lines not being clear until four o'clock this morning. The passengers to and from the north had to be conveyed by the linc from Holton to Blackburn.

HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST A RAIL- WAY COMPANY. An action was brought at the Liverpool aasizes on Saturday against the Lancashire and Yorkshire Bailway Company, in which the plaintiff, Mr. William Henry Goodwin, an extensive cotton spinner and manufacturer, of Manchester, Preston, London, and other places, sought to recover damages for serious personal injuries. Mr. Good- win wan travelling on the 14th of Aprillsst in the express from Manchester to Preston, when the tiain came into collision with an engine which had been used for shunting. He received very severe internal injuries, sustaining a shock to the nervous system and injury to the spinal chord, and to the substance of the brain, His business loases in coa- sequence of the accident had been very consider- able, and it would be necessary for him to be free from all care and anxiety for twelve or eighteen months.

The Morning jVm* correspondent at Cape CORst Castle, under date November 16th, telegraphs that althougil Sir Gamet W olseley W JIB recovering from his attack of fever, his condition had caused much anxiety, and he was so prostrated as to be unfit for much exertion for some weeks to come. Two of.Sir Garnet's aides-de-camp were also down with fever. Andrew Minster, of the Royal Marines, on board some ship, who was taken ill at the same time as Wolseley, has died. The wounded Europeans are progressing favourably but very slowly. Commodore Hewitt, who arrived on the 14th in the Active, had assumed the chief naval charge of the station and the Barracouta. Ihe former flagship was about to be despatched full of invalids to Ascension and then to the West Indies. Tbe Bittem had been ordered to pm- e: thMJ1:ne:)dpe o:rs.ff British reinforcements. The continued retreat of the Ashantees was being harassed by native troops, encouraged by fifty of the Naval Brigade acting from Dunquah as their base, the men of one tribe from Sierra Leone pro- ving brave fighting men, even better than the Houssas, Sub-Lieutenants Cochrane and Lang leading this little force, but have to advance very cautiously. But for the scarcity of European troops and Sir Garnet Wolseley's illness, the retreat f tell AshauteeB to and across the Prah might have been followed up and made an utter defeat. As it is, Afihuntee reinforcements will probably be brought out to meet them and cover their return. It was rumoured that King Coffee is advancing to their aid, but there was no reliable foundation for this report. Glover's expedition up the Volta had not started at the latest news, but was reported to be ready, and his 15,000 native troops were all drilled and armed.

In a subsequent despatch the same correspondent states that one in five of the Naval Brigade fell out with sunstroke or faintness during a recent march, the heat being intense. Nearly 200 men in the fleet were on the sick list. When Commodore Hewitt arrived only 50 remained on shore fit for duty. These were leading a force of 5,000 natives recently brought in by their chiefs, and who proved better fighting men than the Fantees. The fleet were experiencing great difficulty in effec- tually watching ships laden with arms and ammunition, and despite all vigi^ lance, some cargoes had been landed. Yellow fever was prevailing to a frightful extent at Bonny, and as some Houssas had come from hence fears were felt lest it should spread to Cape Coast. At Dix Cove fighting was of daily occurrence, but no Europeans took part, and no result of consequence took place.

There was an encounter, with the following casualties Privates Erskine, Potteril, and Bond, and three natives killed; five horses were also killed. A letter from Colonel Mills to Major Erskine say. "Your son behaved gallantly, and but for his ?Adl,B turning round, he would have returned safe. Langalibalele has escaped. His camp was f.u.d 'lite empty. The following letter is just to :ddf;tDrill)'trl:r f;c,c are, we arrived at the top of the Bushman's Pass just as the Kaffirs were taking their .ttl. up, and stopped them; but they soon surrounded us, and kr!e} Erskine, Bond, and Wc,i: fi horses, and three natives. The troop is now up the mountain, and are all right. We were three days on the top, without food for horse or man. The troop has performed wonders in marching. We were in the saddle on Sunday evening and Monday, 18 hou? and 21? h.- from Tuesday to last mght. Coming off the berg, the Kaffirs are i e¡f:;ndc:¡\n!riffeJe I ,n i:'i on Frid. and let you know all about the affair. ?, he ;e e:nJciUeddht:tir¿n of them Mr. Shep8tone'.man, Fhj&hKanbule -a fine brave fellow. We are glad to hear that a rumour about town that Mr. Shepstone is wounded is with- out foundation. Mr. W. E. Shepstone has letters from both his father and brother, both of whom are well. From him we learn that Major Durn- ford waa endeavouring to release Elijah from his horse which was shot, and fell upon him, when the major was himMM attacked, and but for shooting both bissail-t. would probably base been killed; i lrkwŸe that Major Durnford is wounded, and Captain Boyes had a very n' esc&pe. I Ëli1ahair:rbe;1fel17 w..r.; through the head an he lay. When yomgErskine fell, owing to his saddle turning with him, he was instantly surrounded, and stabbed to death, The encounter took place not far from hel?d.(Iu?ter!, LanpliWele's people came on, sharpening their awgi?, ?.d taunt- ing the Carabineers, who had orders not to commence hostilities. Mr. hcp8ton was at the time distanfoome 25 or 30 miles, stationpg guox(h at the dif erent passes, but was immediately sent for. It is g?.a.ily understood that the govern- ment are in no way to blame for the defective com- misaariat arrangements of the Carabineers, who hd undertaken their own mpplies. We undenitan!} Mr. Shoptene and Major Dumford are in Mant!- burg. The troops are in pursuit of the rebels, Private letters have been received, stating that in some encounter 90 of the rebels have been killed; but the intelligence wants confirmation." The Aryun, in a leading article on the foregoing news, explains that the affair arose out of the circumstance that Langalibalele, a chief, located in the western part of Natal, refused to submit to a regulation issued some time ago by Mr. Shepotone, the secretary for native :r.9 b M;r ;?zg the registration of firearms. Mr. '-hep-?ona seems to have obtained the assistance of the ,.oluntef3 to punish the rebellious chief, and Major Dun?ord'a troop of Carabineers was the particular bedy of that force selected for the ser- vlm, It seems to have been Mr. Shepstone's idea to )me guards at the passes to prevent the retreat of £:WÏe\'heJ:s;rTh: :e: excellent ene, but the force to carry it out does not appear to have been suffi- ciently numerous. At all events, one detachment was unable to prevent the natives making their escape through the Bushman's Pass into the coun- try about the souroe of the Orange River, and the Kaffirs also succeeded in taking their cattle with them. It was in this puss that the skirmish, or battle, took plaee. The greatest danger is that Langalibalele may make his way to Busutoland, where he may foment mischief. The difficulty then would be our own. No doubt, the Cape Govern- ment has already taken measures in anticipation of such a state of things. As to the Zulus outside Natal, we hazard the opinion that that colony is quite safe.

THE TICHBORNE CASE.
THE TICHBORNE CASE. LUrE AT BOW-STRBET. Bow-street Police-court on Saturday afternoon, in the midst of very quiet business, suddenly assumed a busy appearance. About twelve o'clock it became known that Jean Luie, or Lundgren, or Gnindbun, would be brought before the court upon a habeas ?.rp- warrant to ,mirer the charge of committing wilful and corrupt perjury" as a witness in the great trial known as the Tiahbome ::ee88 d;J;:g:; f: t;:rZ:.soh:r:: that this fresh phase of the extraordinary ow was to be heard out in open ocurt, and consequently there was no great rush to the small justice- room. However, the arrival of the Treasury solicitor, BIT. Pollard, and other gentlemen connected with the Westminster case, as well as the prisoner, who was brought from Holloway prison in charge of three warders, showed that somethingout of the common was to take place. Sir Thomas Henry, who sat specially to hear the case, took his seat at twelve o'clock, and the prisoner was then placed in the dock by Kodstall, the gaoler. He gave his name as ",Jean Luie," Mr. Pollard mid I attend here, Sir Thomas, to charge this man with being at large against the conditions of a licence which he received in March this year. You may know, Sir Thomas, that this man gave evidence upon the trial of the case The Queen v, Castro," now being tried in the Court of Queen's Bench at Westminster. He then stated, as he has here before vou to-day, that his name was Jean Lie. He was asked the history of his life, partly in exaniination-in-chief and partly in cross-examination. He stated that he was born in Denmark i n the year 1825. He stated th" t he came to this country in June last, and landed at Liverpool, and that in a coffee-shop at London Bridge be tint learned that there was a person calling himself Sir Roger Tichborne, who was laying t?laimtothetichbomt? estates; that that night he slept at the coffee shop; that the next moming he went on a 'bus to the Marble Arch, and t he found himself at the Victoria Station. He went to Brighton, and came back the same night. On the following morning he went to Bessborough-gardens, ani said ho wanted to see Sir Roger Tichborne. He gave no name, and was re- ferred to Poet's-corner, where a Mr. Hendricks bad his office. He then made a statement in the presence of Mr. Whalley, I.P., and upon which he was sent to the defeiid»nV»re»idence. Immediately on his entering the home, No. 34, Bessborough- gardens them was = imtant recognition on the part eoshiÜ a:r:: C:tiS:bo:ihe t: saying, "Como esta, Luie." He knew him by hL, voice. He spoke to him to that effect. He was asked the various episodes of his life. He began by stating that in 1853 he was on board the Osprey, stationed at Rio, where he saw" a person of the nanc of Brown, now calling himself Captain Brown. He had lived, he said, on board the Osprey, which afterwards started for Melbourne, and that they crossed the line somewhere about the month of April, and that shortly afterwards they picked up off the coast of Brazil a whale- Cat containing six men. Some of them were in a greatly ehai.tei condition. One of of the boat. T %Tlysed, and had to be lifted out them a:redTta:l: and had to be lifted out of the boat. This man, he said, was afterwards known to him by the name of Roger-he knew no other name for him. The vessel having picked up the six men went on its course, and arrived at Melbourne in 1854. Everybody then, he said, de- serted the ship and left her high and dry and went to the diggings. He then dewr,,?d ht?and went the Oi?prey, it had fallen to his lot to wash and 8IOLbit :eIh:f in o¡ hti that he had marks upon him, but had o tattoo marks. He said that he noticed this particularly, as he used to hurt Roger in washing him, as one of his (Luie's) fingers was bent from an accident he had met with. From July of that year he went to Ballarat. Sir Thomas Henry Need you state all this ? Mr. Pollard I think it necessary, air, as it will prove to his satisfaction that his statement is totally false, as we have found it, and that ac- counts for his now being before you. In May, 1855, he left Mlamt for Sydney, and went from there to various places. In 1858 be was at Callao, and kept a bouding-hoine there. He then join;?d another ship, and went a voyage to Trieste, and afterwards served on the Ohio, and went to Hali- fax in 18W. He remained on board the Ohio and in 1864 he joined the Albert steamer, an? sailed for Melbourne, At Melbourne he joined another vessel, and went to Stockholm, in the Baltic, and returned to New York; remained from that time at axious places in the United States till 1871. In 1873, having i..ed his wife, who hd abandoned him, he came here, leaving Chicago, :dl:d:l at Ante.nthe=-k:,i18f3: At first hesaidAntw, afterwards Ostend. Now, the circumstances which lead to hiD being brought here h.pl..ed in this way. Lui. having in common with other witneam in the Tib?om. case, been photographed, the photograph appear-I in all the shops, and two young me pu t.:à tto:ts:t the pliow p,,Ph, recognised Luie as a man who, on the 29th of March of the present year, four days afte 'the pri- :h hth::t:o:rt:le.:r.i: had called at the office of a shipbroker and endeavoured to obtain a sum of £ 20 to buy a chroaometer. Herepre- sented himself m the mpt&inof ashiplying at Hayle, in Cornwall, and he very nearly.uueeded in getting the money. They telegraphed to H.yl?, tted, and foun l that no each person Captain 0 r- ben was known. On Friday afternoon the two young men who had identified the photograph attended at W,?.tmi-tr just the court was rising, and had an opportunity of recognising the prim ner. Onthe following 1IIondar following he I ?o committed for contempt of court on the evidence he had given as to his antecedents. Fmm that up to the present time we have never failed to receive day by day farther information about hi::iaYvaua::er wor:Îtn â:J:; the present week to show that from the year 1852, tho man, who is now before you, was a clerk in a shipbroker's office in the town of Hull. From then to i861 e :mc;{ in the neighbourhood then to 1!861 he w 'as em  eI ?or l ed and shipping clerk by of Bristol as a water clerk and shipping clerk by the name of Charles Lundgren, In 1862 he waa entrusted with Bank post-bill, which he appro- tp ?t?d. He was given into custody and tried at ?B?i.t.1 aBsizes, and being convicted was aen- tenced to three yars. He was liberate in ril 1865, on ac:e part oW:n:fn: remitted. In October following he was at New- castle-on Tyne, under the names of Grindland and Patterson, where, also, he committed fraud, and Wall again in custody. He was tried and sentenced to six months from the adjourned sessions of 1866. He was afterwards at Cardiff, and was again con victed of fraud, and on his former [conviction being proved against him, he was sentenced to ,%?- years, which would expire in 1874. How- ever, his conùuct was w good that eighteen months of the sentence were remitted, and in March of this year he was set at liberty on o, licence. The terms of the-licence were that he should report himself within 48 hours of his alTIval in aay town but at Folkestone, where he travelled to, on his way to Belgium, he certainly did not do so. Within four day. f his ele-e he was suspected of other frauds. In July of the present year he called on Meum Winslow, Son, and Co., and under the name of Capt. Strong he endeavoured to obtain money. On the 4th of July he, in another name e.d?.?.-d to ó;: eefr a:, nê:JyeaČr square. He said at the trial that he only arrived at Ostend inJuly, He tmlydid anive at Ostend; but on the 4th of July he was within the jurisdiction of this court. The facts of his life having become known, the court ordered that Luie should be com- mitted to Holloway PriBon on a charge of contempt of court, in having committed per j ury, and his own counsel admitted that he coulu not rely upon his evidence. M. Pollard then said that he would simply call sufficient evidence to ask for a remand, and called the Inspector who was present during Luie's examination. He stated that Luie had de- clared he had never gone by any other name than Jean Luie. One of the warders of the Chatham Convict Prison would prove that he was there in 1868 till March of the present year, and was then discharged on a licence. Inspector George Clark, Chief Inspector of Scot- bmd-y.d I was present on the 14th and 15th of October of the present year, at the trial of the case The Queen v.

Mr. Pollard then ai(i having given sufficient evi- dence to justify a remand, he would ask that that course might be adopted fcr Thursday, if that would suit the convenience of Sir Thomas Henry. Sir Thomas Henry said that he would remand the prisoner until Thursday. The Chief Warder of Holloway Prison asked, with reference to the writ of habttis COrplt.8, if the prisoner would be re-wmmitted to his etot?dy? Sir Thomas Henry replied in the negative, and said that the prisoner would be committed, under .ai d that the :at to ettH:f:iiJ= He endorsed the writ that the p?L (?? was out of the custody of the Holloway Prison officer.

MASTER AND SERVANT. The evidence given in some master and servant CMea" heard on Tuesday before Sheriff Bell, at Cupar Fife, in Scotland, shows the hardships to which the agricultural labourer in this country is occasionally exposed, and which he hopes to evade by emigration to the backwoods and prairies of A.,?rim 1. ne a., Ale.X?r Jk. awne, a farmer, sued James Duff, farm- elV&nt, for LIO as compensation for d.mg,?. occasioned by the latter having deserted his work on the 22nd of November, and so neglected to fulfil hia contract of service. Duff pleaded" not guilty," and stated as his reason for leaving work that he had been engaged to drive a pair of botiw, but had only got the horses on the fourth day, lm?ing on the fore- ;iD:he dafO:nelay ct'íng p\n to the P\lfli turnips. phe horrible revelation failed to impress the sheriff, who "thQught that the farmer was the proper person to judge when the horses should be indoors and when the servant should be ill the fields, else," he added, "it would be making the servant the master of the farm. He had yet to learn that it was incompatible with the dignity of such a one as the respondent' to cut turnips when his master thought tit," Poor Duff was therefore ordered to return to his work, and told that, failing his doing so, he would be imprisoned for fourteen d n d wu also found iPwn:feu:a ia;a:nf hi he would re?'ive ten days' .prisonent. In another case, in which a farm servant was sued on like manner for £10 damages, he pleaded Not guiltv," and stated that he left his employ- ment after four days' work because one of his horses was" kittle," and unsafe, and the other was not much worth also because he had been called upon to "muck" the cattle in the morning, and because there was no fire in the bothy. On the other band, testimony was given by his employer as to the quality of the horees, and it was proved that the mucking" of cattle had hitherto been looked upon in the district as part of the ordinary work of ploughmen. The unhappy man was therefore fined £3 and £ 2jcosts, or in de- fault sentenced to 21 days' iml'risonmen l. Pall Mall Gazette.

COOK'S BILLIARD TOURNAMENT. This handicap was began at the Guildhall Tavern on Monday last, and was continued each day throughout the week. The final heats ter- minated on Saturday night, when Cook and Kilkenny had to play the best of three games of 500 P. The play began at alf-pmt four in the afternoon. At first the balls broke y for Cook, but Kilke- was more foaunate, and, moreover, played ,ij and j,?d ent, i- his 'lM points given, by the aid of 48 (13 6pot< ) i 2 (6 and 4 pot@), and 40 (6 spots), to 315, when Cook, who had just made a run of 30, stoo<.lonlr at 53. Matters looked rather bad for the champion just then, more especially as his adversary added 24 to hia total, which had tk?. reached 339. At 68 Cook, by better play, placed 77 (21 .1?of? ) to his account, md then 35, whic revived the hopes of his friends somewhat, and ,rril hi, score to 183. Then, by some mo.tbrilliant.pot-ha?d etriking, he made a break of 219 (57 spots), amidst a ear wcue of excitement, and the m?rker ar.- noanccd his total as 40'2 against 392. Twice Kil- kenny failed to add anything, and before he got in again Cook went to 461 with a nm of 59 (19 spots), the Huddersfield man replying with 34 (8 pot.), which brought him w7 i 19 in M of the champiom The balls now broke badly for both, and matters proceeded slowly to Cook 488.

Mr. Thomas, well-known as one of the most extensive maltsters in the Vale ofGla. morgan. and formerly carrying on a large business also at the Town Mills, had devotc<1 much time and expense to the construction of these malthouses on the most improved principles, in a wellselectell spot, on the margin of the riwr, .Smoke and a little flame were first noticed about midnight by Mr. Eicholl, of Hill-terrace, who was 1.?lling near the premise., and an adjoining house* Keeper, named Mrs. m¡th, proceeded to awaken the inhabitants of the village, with the view ùf obtaining a..iatance, Soon afterwards was heard a violent relwrt, and then the fire bwst through the :hec:ili'eld o\î l: bU:ii;,hr1ülIh a .n,id,rb"? oupply of water ?-;? close at hand, yet, the hose and all communkation being destroyed by the fire almost immediately after its first out- burst, no means of extinguishing the contbgmtron Were available but the simple plan of passing buckets of water from hand to hand an,1 casting them upon the burning m?im.

A BKECONSHIKE DIVORCE SUIT.
A BKECONSHIKE DIVORCE SUIT. The case of Powell v. Powell and Jones, which was the husband's petition for a divorce on the ground of the wife's adultery with the co respon- dent, came on for hearing in the Divorce Court on Saturday before Sir James Hannen. Iloth the accused parties answered and denied the adultery. Mr. Serjeant Ballantine, Mr. Henry Matthews, Q.O., and 31r. liayford were counsel for the petitioner; the Attorney-General, Dr. Spinks, Q. C., and Dr. Swaby for the resj>ondent; aud Mr. Gifford, Q.C., and Mr. lnderwick for the co respondent. It appeared that the petitioner is a farmer at a place called Bronllys Court, in the county of Brecon, in Wales. He was married to the l'e8pon,Ient on the 8th of May, 18o5. After their marriage they resided at the Campden Anns public-house, which they kart, and where they lived happily together up to 1802. About this time, however, the peti- tioner had a suspicion that his wife had formed an improper intercourse with I)e. who used to \):o: h:co'S:"piO lkI:: nd tho petitioner had never since cohabited with her. On the separation the petitioner made his wife an allowance, and on that allowance she has lived in a small cottage in the village of Trecastle ever since. In 1868, the petitioner came into some consider- able property, which he inherited through a relative, and he then went to live at Bronllys Court, where lie still resides, and which is about 20 miles distant from Tit:castle. In 1870 it was alleged that the respondent had formed an improper intimacy with the co-respond- ent, who is the son of Mrs. Jones, who kept the Three Horse Shoes public-house, in Trecastle, and who constantly visited her during that and the fol- lowing year. Humours having ache,1 th- peti- tioner that an illicit intercourse was being arrie,i on J:l b':s il i':dr% 18 c. :t to be placed upon their movements, through the instrumentality of his solicitor, and the present suit was the result. The petitioner was called in support of his 'ease, and he stated the circumstances attending his mar- riap, u well as those connected with his separa- tion from his wife in 1862. He also stated that the Rev, Mr. Price, the clergyman of the parish, was the first who told him of the rumours which were afloat respecting his wife and Jones. In cross-examination, the witness said he had known the co-respondentsinee 1855. He was then a boy of some seven or eight years of age. His wife knew him at the same time. Since the separation, and up to about two years after it, his wife wrote to him to call upon her, but he never would do so, as he had separated from her on the ground that she had committed adultery with "-the' person. &DÅ:ls,witnesses were called, who deposed to having seen the respondent talking to the co respondent at the door of her cottage, and of his going into the cottage, and remaining there with the respondent for a considerable time. The petitioner's case was not terminated when the court rose.
IA DOCTOR FINED FOR AN ASSAULTI…
A DOCTOR FINED FOR AN ASSAULT I AT NEWPORT. At the county petty sessions, at Newport, on Saturday, Chl?. Griffiths, the doctor of the bat- tery of Koyal Artillery, q-?t-?,i t Newport Rr- 1af :ai'e'iit1\ :.rh: living at Clulweh, on the Ris? road, near New- port, on Sunday evening, the 7th inst. Defendant denied the charge. Complainant, on being sworn, stated that on the evening of the day named he heard a great noise in the yard at the back of his father's house. He rushed out in the twilight to seo what had hap- pened, He then saw four dogs worrying one of their cats, and he did his best to separate them. Whilst he was down endeavouring to separate the 11 from the cat, the defendant struck him two severe blows on the back with a stick. He got the mt away from the dogs, but it was w frightened that 't ( d nto a tnk or well, which is in the yard. i':r:. :or.et¡;: jf:nl.; latter accused him of kickingthe dogs, and mado use of very strong language. He treated the defen- dant gentlemanly, and asked for his card, which he refused to give, and after further abuse, he threa- tened to murder him (complainant) and to throw him into the well. In cross examination by defendant, complainant stated that ho was sure he saw four dogs on his premises, and was not aware that he used any offensive language. He went to defendant's quarters at the barracks, to ask for an explanation, but made no attempt to extort money. He did not consider defendant acted in a gentlemanly way. Defendant made a kind of apology, but the 'next minute challenged him to fight, or "to have it out." The whole of the circumstances defendant had detailed occurred on the premises occupied by his father. His back was towards the defendant when he (complainant) was struck. Never had any stone in his hand. Jane White, mother of the defendant, gave corroborative evidence. She went out of her house, with a light, after her son. She saw several gentlemen there, and four dogs. Heard the de- fendant abusing her son very much, bitt did not see any blows struck. In answer to the Bench, the complaint said none of his witnesses saw the blows given. His mother and sisters only saw what took lace fter ha separated the dogs from the cat. The defendant gave to the court his version of the affair. He said he was walking in company with one of the officers on the Bisca-road leading from the barracks. The little terrier (now produced) left his side, and ran ahead yelping along the road. It followed a cat, and hearing a noise, they ran, and saw the dog, cat, and complainant in a yaid, the latter of whom had either the dog'. leg or tail in his band, and what appeared to him to be a stone in the other, m if ready to brain ?' t?.? dog. He interjiosed to prevent his doing w, and 1,.k,? ;lJ7 rl¡:¿ dh fo:I. ing he was waited on by the complainant at hi, quarters, and he treated him with the greatest courtesy, and baid, "As it appears my dog wa-s the aggressor, I am excessively sorry," Complainant appeared not to be satistied, and he (defendant) said, I don't understand you I den t take your meaning." He went on with some humbugging talk, and presuming that he wanted to extort money, he ordered him out. Complainant then said, "I will make you pay for this, and make you pay smartly," and made use of further observations about having threatened him. Complainant interposed, and asked permission to put a question to the defendant. The Clerk, however, ?aid he could not CtOSS- cxamine the defendant. The Chairman said he could make any explana- tory statement presently. Defendant said he could bring two witnesses to prove the truth of his statements. It w is really no i ?,?lt of his that the dog worried the cat, which was on the road when the nog set after it. Wht led to his speaking t, complainant as he did ?- the ;il)l?eamn? of his being on the point of kiHiug the d ie with a stone, Complainant: I asked why you aian t shout out to me, but you said, I did shout like the d<»vih If you had shouted I am sure I should have heard you, Mr. Ilentlatid, the officer in company with Mr. Griffiths on the evening in question, stated that they had four dogs with them at this time, but one waa a puppy. They ltarred after a cat and he ad Mx Urifliths followed, and saw the eomplamant iu a yard with the dogs using the greatest violene towards them. Mr. Uritiiths thereupon rushed in and struck the man with a stick, but with no great violence. Only two dogs were in the yard tuen, and the other two went in aftr he (witness) had got there. The blows were not very serious. He was only four or five yards from the assaiut. Complainant: I have witnesses who cau prove seeing the effects of the blows on my back two days afterwards. The Bench said that the evidence of Mr, 1 ent- land was confirmatory of the complainant's tt?- ments, Tboy considered the charge proved, ami must fine Mr. Griffiths in a itig?t.,Lf?,,y of IN. and the cost-. No doubt the assaul f 'was com- mitted in the heat of passion, but it was the duty of the Bench to check passion.

I CARDIFF SANITARY uiUMI ITEL IbiR. SKORKTARY f.OWE AKD THt: POLlet. The monthly meeting or i^iruM ramtai-f Authority was held at the union house on .Sat inlay In th absenc(' of the rh",al:. Mr. K. O..1" ?h, was p,?,,?td fromatteuding by indispvsiiioa. Air. Ix-e pre.i¡I"11. 'IiI1" first subject brought under the uoti •• II the tùw.1llÎttee. had reference to tia«m inadequacy of the water supply in the vi! of Ely. At the last meeting a letter ww rea,1 from Mr. Charles Itavid (who biWI been served with a notice, requiring Uiai w connect his premises with the main of the Water Works Company) in which he denied tha* the exist ingsupply was defective. Mr, David now waited on the committee and asserted that the water, obtained by means of four wells, was more than suthcieat W meet the requirements of the village, adding that he had wen acquainted with Ely for a period of 50 years and had never heard the i. habitants complain of a deficiency. The report of Inspector Thorney indicated that only one of the wells re f erre d to .,ii be regarded u properly ::¡l..bf:ili:oteo ":e:.¡rr;11ll;re I: | contiguous cesspools and various caus"s. Mr. (*rover, who also atten(l?l the meeting with refer- ence to this matter, said he could bring ample evi- dence to prove that the inhabitants were perfectly satisfied with the existing supply, and much pre- ferred the water obtained from the wells tit that of the con\pany s, which he knew from personal experienee was often unfit to drink. It was ultimately resolved that the chairman '"1l1 other members of the committee should visit the locality in order to ascertain what steps it was advisable to take. With reference to the resolution passed at the last meeting of the committee, thiit an applica- tion should be made to the Local Government Board for special powers in regard to (Grange- town, the clerk (Mr, Stephenson) stated that Sir. Bernard, the agent cf the Windsor Estate, afte rwarits waited on him and intimated that the Windsor Trustees would themselves, under the powers of theit leases, compel theowners of property in that place to form the requisite works of chan- ndliltg and paving, and put the streets into proper order. They had hitherto shrunk from exercising those powers, but had now resolved to euforce thcui, and the result was that the streets were being put into a better condition. In pursuance of instruc- tions received at the laat meeting he (the clerk) wrote a letter to the Local ifovernment Board ap- plying for urban powers in respect to Grange- tOWlI, and had received a communication ask- ing th" cODlmittee to point out the preeLoe nature of the powers they desired to have extended to that place. It now became a matter of import- allce to consider what tlios" powers should be whether they should ex tel,,1 to the repairs of streets, the regulations of buildings, and other subjects; but the necessity for obtaining the. had been reu- dered less urgent by the course .'dopted on the part of the Windsor Trustees. An application had been made to Col. Lindsay to allow the policeman reai. 1 dent at (irangetown to assist Inspector Thorney in dealing with the nuisances, and the chief ton stable had very kindly complied with the request* Inspector Thorney reported that the fever at Grungetowu was slightly on the decrease, and appeared to be o( a milder form. There were now M persons suffering from typhoid fever, and one them wa, ,hl1gHously W. The ti,e? twelv appeared to be recovering, and ??o fresh "ases had been reported forthe last week or nine days. There had been in all .Vj cases of fever in Grangetown, and only four deaths from that malady had occurred up to the present date. The sanitary condi- tion of Grangetown had been greatly improved of late. The owners flaid down new channelling in the streets, and Mr, Bernard had caused the holes and pools complained of to be filled up, The inspector recommended that all ia- fected houaes should be fumigated with sulphur after the recovery of the patients, and the com- mittee ordered that tlte neœøaary steps should bo taken in this direction, Dr. UiUh'GEB, the medical officer, represented that since his last report nineteen fresh cases of fever had occurred in Upper «muge, Lm?l in one instance the illness terminated fatally. In Lower Grange there had bee h;eJ.n"as;;o:refevr but te:: weon::J to one house, and imported from Upper Grange. Penarth appeared to be in a healthy state. At Dinas Powis, three cases of small,pox had oocurred in one house, but the patients were ail doing welL The disease was imported from the hills, and he had endeavoured to keep the cases thoroughly isolated. In pursuance yith the recommendation of the doctor, the committee empowered him to order the destruction of the bedding and bed- clothes used by the patients suffering from these infectious diseases, and the adoption of other neces- sary measures. The report of Inspector Adams indicated that the whole of the nuisances in Upper Grange com- plained of at the last meeting had been remove.i. The inspector also intimated that diphtheria wa4 rapidly disappearing from Penarth and the place appeared to be generally in a healthy con- dition. The attention of the committee was next Iii, rected to the statement that an order had been issued by the Home Secretary prohibiting the police trom acting in the capacity of in- spector of nuisances. Mr. Stephenson said that since the matter came to his knowledge he com- municated on the subject with the chairman of the committee; but he regretted to add that Mr. Jones was prevented by severe indisposition from atteud- ing on that occasion. He 'had not yet seen the circular referred to, but he !\11Ùèc&tood that one had been issued by the Home Office requiring the police to abstaiu from discharging the duties of in- spectors of nuisances. It was understood that Mr. Lowa considered those duties With the regular functions of the police; and required the otfccera to resign the appointments referred to by the 31At of this month. He (the clerk) could only say that with regard to this district, in his own humble opinion, such a proceeding would be a very disastrous one. (Hear, hear.) Tne duties pertain- ing to sanitary officers had been most evidently and advantageously discharged by the police, with- out—so far as he could judge-in any way im- pairing their efficiency upoli?mei? (Reu,h?r.) He could not yet my what action would be taken in the matter by the sanitary authorities generally or the magistrates but if Mr, Lowe per sisted in the order, it would be necessary to make fresh arrangements. He suggested that a special meeting of the committee should be convened on the subject. Mr. Eli Evans testified to the excellency and efficiency of the existing arrange- ments, and remarked that in his opinion the proposal change would be one of the worst things which could occur from a sanitary point of view. The Chairman said the sanitary authorities would feel completely fetuiincd by the order. Up to the present time nu notice had been taken of it in the newspapers, and no intimation had been conveyed to the authorities of any disatitifaction withithepr?nt arrangement. He could hardly see what it meant, and thought them must be fome mistake in regard to it. The Home Secretary certainly appeared to have acted with great precipitancy in the matter. In a speech, delivered a few days since, Mr. Lowe intimiited that it was his intention to defend the police, or he (the chairman) should have other"8e thought that the complaint* which had bees m:1lle suggested to the Home Secre- tary that the police had got more to do than they exactly knew ¡.ow to U1a:Jage, Ou the sugges- tion o? Mr. Kvans. it was agreed that the clerk should communicate with the chairman of the com- mittee, aid <htain his opinion as to what would be the ben: course to adopt. The circular in question, dated from the Home Office and signed by bir. Lid- I Jell." to the following effectReferring to that nortiou of the amended rules and regulations for ille of county constables recently issued flHU this department, which relates to the employ- ment of constables on other than police dutiee, I urn directed by Mr. Secretary Lowe to acquaint you that having regard to the provisions of the Nuis- ance Hernonl antl Public Healths Acts, and to the nature and extent of the duties thereby imposed upon persons appointed as inspector of nuisances under those Act, he is of opinion that the employment of constables in such offices ia likely to interfere with the efficient dis- charge of their proper functions, and that it ia other-vise inexpedient. Under these circumstances, the inspection of -liu-ce- will not in future (except respe .ts proceedings under the 29th and 3t?h Vic., cbàp. ?kI. 1.?u be recognised by the Secretary of State a* a police duty. All provisions contained in any previous circular issued from this department sanctioning the employment of the ifolice as inspectors of nuisances are hereby cancelled, and all police officers now acting as inspectors of nuisances are hereby required to discontinue so acting after the olst December instant. bir. STK'JU^N'SOH stated that he had received that morning an elaborate report from Mr. Waring ill. regard to the ganituy condition of the city of LI3- daft; and on gl:mcrng down it he found that iL seemed to indicate the desirability of formWg Llandaff into a special drainage district, tfow, whatever action might have to be taken with regard to (;rangetown rr.ir>t doubtless be extended to LUndaff, and probably to the whole of the parish and it would become an important matter to consider what bounties should be de. fined to the place for which they wished to obtain urban powers. As he took it, the paxfeh of L'an- datf, which was now divided into :;ve rart. would become a special drainage district; :-nd the extent of the proposed urban powers would be inseparably mixed up with it. In view Df the approaching election 0' guardians, there- w. another point to which Ito would drpw attention — viz., the propriety of dividing the parish of LUn- dali into waids, each of which shotrld elect sep.nate guardians. Under the existing <\rranem,nt! the whole parish returned turoe guardians hut the Canton Local Board district formed part of L. Wltf, anù it so happened that the three guardiana at present returned were connected ex- luaively wit f, Canton, which thus had, ??s it w-re :i\O:O;' inwl representation He, 'iii not, of course, for one momezit injsinaate that this circumstancc disqualified the guardians from giving attention to the rest of the pariah or made them indisposed to do so but it no hg p peneil that the part of the parish which was under the jurisdiction of the Highway Board, or tU Rural Sanitary Authority, had no distinct repre. sentation on either of thbodies. It was exceed- ingly desirable that the districts should be formed into a separate contributory place under the Public Health Act, and directly represented by giurdism He suggested that five seats should be allotted to the parish in such a way aa to secure a direct repre- sentation of each part of it. The committee ap pearcd to regard the whole matter as a very impor- tant one, and resolved to consider it at the next, meeting, the report of Mr. Waring to be in. the meantime printed and circulated am;ii £ th" members. This concluded the business.
