THE IRISH cm MES ACT. EXPECTED SUPPRESSION OF TIIE NATIONAL LEAGUE. A Dublin correspondent telegraphsIt was stated iu Dublin on Thursday that the officials of the National League are prepared for any action of the Government under the new Crimes Act, and that should the organisation be suppressed, no difficulty will be experienced in carrying on the agitation from a distance. The Nationalist*, how- ever, do not believe any action will be taken. Of tho manner in which the Crimes Act will be met, United Inland, in an article on tin* Cork Con- vention, saysThe convention expressed its abso- lute determination not to be suppressed. If the League in County Cork were proclaimed in the morning, overy priest aud layman in that conven-1 tiou would find himself bound in the honour of manhood to go to gaol ratlutr than submit, ono moment to so intolerable a degradation, The right of combination and the right of free speech will be exercised in spite of any vicer*#*i proclamation to the c..tr.-y. If the meetings to be dispersed with bayonets in public, they will bo held in private, an,1 there will In- a conspiracy of the whole population in the interest of freedom of combination, for which the only remedy will be tu put the whole population in pao!. We do not believe that a wet finger will be laid on the National League-tlrstlr. because the temper and splendid maulinese exhibited at the Cork Convention warn the Government that it cannot do it; secondly, localise we could not in our wildest dreams imagine a bettor method f deepening !?i? e fry methods of govern.(?nt in Ireland into abhorrence, aud changing the enfeebled and bedraggled mn- dition of the Tory hoit? at the English bye-elections into rout, pauic, and auuihilation bag and b,?gy, e The Lord Mayor ,f Dhli. paper, tho H fli i»m, of Thursday, saysIt Ii now in Mr. BalfoUl'S power W Sc'iæ and imprison writers for the public press.

In the Water Primary Battery, which is Mr. D'^ Humy s invention, no dynamos or engines are required, and it has solvod what hitherto ha9 been const* lieu' a ^rectidil impossibility—to charge accumu- lators and store electricity with primary battel tes. lie battery may be manipulated without the sll £ htest danger even by a child, and n room nr *uile of room lighted in an instant.

ALLEGED LIBEL ON THE EX.MAYOR OF CARDIFF. ACTION AGAINST TtlE WESTERN MAIL. THE JURY DISAGREE. SETTLEMENT WITHOUT DAMAGES. I On Friday at Cardiff Town-hall Mr. Walter Morgan (Pontypridd), under-sheriff, held a oourt to assess damages in a libel action brought by Mr. D, E. Jones, ex-mayor of Cardiff, against Messrs. Daniel Oweu and Co. as proprietors, and Mr.Lafcp'!e9CtrrMeditor,0[theM'<'«? Mail, for a libel alleged to have been published 1. ;i:f-t:r: J?t/ :;I:t;;¡ of v;?:e:ed :'I Abel Thomas (instructed by Mr. Dill, solicitor) was I for the complainant, and Mr. Vachell (instructed by Messrs. Morgan and Scott) defended. I Some liitlo difficulty was experienced at first in getting the jury together, and the under-sheriff intimated his intention of delaying the hearing for a short time in order that a sufficient number of jurymen might be present, as possibly there might be some objections. Mr. Vachell, however, said lie objected to no one on the list. Mr Abel Thomn-s in opening to the jury, said it must be taken for granted that the article which was complainod of, and was set out in tIw statement of claim, was a libel, and actionable; that everything in it was written and printed by the defendants—it mattered not which—of the plain- tiff, and that none of tho words used of the plain- tiff in that letter were true in fact. Now, tllo I r?kilt of a person not putting in a mi'L,,?,?.t of defence was that lie admitted the whole of the statement of claim, ?nd it was for the jury to say what damages Mr. Jones was entitled to by reason of that libel. He then went on t,) explain that tho 1'1 dntiff had been mayor o( Cardiff, and, I_ling' from the shwment 01 claim, he .aid that Jn t?? 13thof 1886, ti- di fendauts falsely ac I maliciously—and this, he said, must 00 taken t. be t ?uef1) rntc'd and pub- !ishd the following words:—"That tho disgrace- ful scenes which have marked the proceedings of I. he council dlu'in the past year h¡wo bN-- in the main and primarily due to the moral and intellectual feebleness"—they 6hould remember that that was said of a gentleman who had l?en mayor of C-"iff, and who carried ou the profei I :):ofo ina in tond'¡ttcerftr:; I "To the political pre j udiw and partiality,, d I I 'te tMtfmd ability to ruie, )\dthS;: I niayor."Th>'Statementcontainedinthese ,UsparaginK statements that he had just re id to them was a lie, beciuse they (the defendants) had not ju8t't ed it, and they did not aliege that it was untrue.

On this interrogatory being rend there w.s 1,gbtr in "0" r?gat Y ThnntM observed that he saw th?t one person in court was exceedingly amused that Wa. Mr. Lascelles Carr, the editor of the Western Mail. He presumed that Mr. Carr, as editor of the fl'eim Mail, WM indifv? rent as to wh.?e (-b?racteT he attacked or how many men he ruined. Mr. Can: I beg your pardon, I object to this. I was amused b?-au.?e I thought a medical m? ought to know what "strictures" m .an. Mr. Thotnns, continuing, said Air. Jones paw Mr. Carr on the 30th of July, and had a conversation with him, and the plaintiff would say Mr. Carr promised this should not occur again. Then caine a question.

I met Mr. Carr on the 30th of July, 1886, at the Philharmonic Chambers. We were C'Hi¡rect.'1'8 Ch the Thompson and Sliackell Company (Limited). Tliere was not much business to do that day, so I old Mr. Carr I wantod to havo a private con- versation with him He said Very well." I asked him when it, would be con- venient, and he enid Now." We retired to the steps near Mr. Jenkins's office. I said "What 1 wanted to speak aluut was the repeated attacks upon myself. 1 have a bone to pick with you." I a.?k"d ?y do you continue pitc.ung into me i" theH'M«r,.??dayhydav.mthe manner 14,3 k,,a i?'liat do you mean ?"

You would have been the first to blame me for that If I had done it." He said, Most certainly I should." Then I said, I" Why do you insert this extract from the London paper." He enid, "We nre not responsible for the sentiments contained. We put something i,? to n)i the paper." I said, The heading is your own, and you h ,v -Strictures pon the Mayor. Do you Uii k that article cAn in any shape or form, U'ist me in the govern- .In t the trwn and ral?e me n the estimation of my fellow-townsmen. My own impression is that it is only intended to bring me into contempt." He said they were not responsible for the sentiments expressed, but I said that was only one, and added 11 You have five or six times in tho Wnttrn Mail said that I bad refused tho Town-hall to the ratepayers of Cardiff. Now, I distinctly and clearly stated at the council, and it was reported correctly in the Western Mail for once, that I had never been asked for the use of the Town-hall." In tlie end Mr Carr said: "I wi«li you had spoken to me before about it. I will take care that it does not happen again, and, if you see anything in the paperof the kind again, vou will mark it and send it to me." I said I should do nothing of the sort, as 1 thought it WM his duty to see after that matter. Well," he said, If you had spoken to me I ?hould have stopped it before I will take care that it does not happen again." For some little while I was left alone.

Mr. Vachell Now, Mr. Jones, were not these things which you have seen in the Mail written about you as a public officer-m mayor of the town i*—'They were untrue. Mr. Vachell pressed for an answer to hi? question. Mr. Thcnas objected to the question, aud submitted that the only way to do what Mr. Vachell intended to do was to product) the docu- ments. Mr. Thomas also objected to another question relating to tho latitude of newspapors in | I criticising the conduct of public men in their public .pecity.  Mr.' Vachell t Oh, yea; that is right, object to everything. Keep it out, but I will bring it to the knowtcd?B of the J,?ry I t?, ??.-To the p!.intiff: This libel was published in Novomber of last yeur.

I have paid a competent assistant in my business. Did you sit very frequently on the bcncb.'— Not very frequently. Do you not think your sitting on the b och.anu, attending other inayoral duties, would affect your practice V—No, because 1 had another man to look after it. I do not think the depression in trada has affected my income sinco that time, if it did before. Do you not think that people being unable to find you during the time of yout mayoralty affected your practice P-t do not think ao-not t.o any great extent.

You have not found It necessary to reduce your expenses at all P-No; I am not altogether depend;nt on my practice. I have received less money. Mr. Vachell: No doubt; I am not surprised.

There were disgraceful scenes in the council chamber?—I do not think there were any in any shape or 101m. But on more than one cpomion patisom of the council gave the lie direct one to the otber in your presence. Mr. Thomas: They must have been like the House of Commons. Mr. Vachell: Rather worse. (Laughter.) Ihe Plaintiff: 1 have no recollection of that. Do you recollect, on the 20th of April, a meet*. Ilich lasted two hours, on the Wheatley matter ? -Yes; I think there was. I was in the chair aa inayov. Did you ony to Mr; V.uahan when he was speaking, Stop you are talking stuff. "-Not at a council meeting.

Mr. Vachell I I am entitled to ask 14 and I shall pr.ssit. (To witness): Do you remember a meeting at tho end of your mayoralty, when Mr. Morgan was appointOO mayor ?—Yes I was in the chair. Did Mr. Jackson, a councillor, say "I am ashamed of 'o., M" Ma y o?r" ? A,. ?,bei MTlrn' This question cannot be put. Mr. Vachell: I know that it can be put, and I will press it. There is a statement in this libel that there vcre disgraceful scenes, and I am going to dd.. you upon that. I am clearly entitled to do so. I submit there were di.graœful seen?.

This took place at a public meeting. DO you remember a public meeting being held IInI;e:;frkrne :iY;if ::o: —1 did not attend a vuuhc meeting. Then you say this quotation is utterly untrue ? —I was never there. lie-examined by Mr. Abel Thomas Did Mr. Jackson .gir what he said ?—Yes, aud he .?Lt he Ead been misinformed, Mr. Lougher apologised also, and I have not spoken to him since, except on business matter*. Drs. H. J. Paine and C. T. Vachell were then called to express their opinion that the statements complained of were calculated to damage plaintiff. Mr. Thomas then addressed the jury on behalf of his client. Mr. Vachell then addressed the jury for the dofence, and in doing so said that never in the course of his life had lie known a more unfair thing done than had been done by the 1,I..illtiff in this case. His opponent knew the inherent weakness of his client's cose, and, taking a portion of the libel-tocbolcallv libelous in law, hnuqi1 not practically-.tried to drag In other things Hegel to have been øald by S^nex and" P. iidragon." The article did con- tain libellous mutter, but they had no alternative but to 1Ir. judgment to go by default, and there were two cs-os open to plaintiff. Plaintiff saiil that all he wished to do was to clear his character. lIe di,l not want money lit all, but if tliey apologised there would be an end to it. That was untrue. lie got his judgment, wliich was an admission that he had been libelled, and he might have told all the world that he had secured Judgment ?-I the libel, and he ':it Î1II!:detït t:Iea::d I:ts:;a:a ter and his opponents had paid his costs. They knew p"rfcctly well U?at the greatest latitude was allowed to everyone in discuming Lijo acts of public men. He lldd to them what had tx-en laid down In the leading work on toe Jaw of libel-Dr. Odgers* later on, but it had besn laid down by judges that the greatest latitude wis allowed to the public press to di.?..s the -u of public a.. And he P= d uk them to read the article and then they would come to the conclusion that the intention and object of it was not to libel the phintiff in his profession as a physician. Mr. Thomas; You will pardon me. Mr. Vachell: The jury have got the article .1.. them, nd it is all vem well for Mr. Edgar Jones or his counsel to say it is directed against him in his profession. 1IIr, Vachell said he would read one or two extracts froin the great work of Dr. Odgers on the law of Iltvi. Dr. Odgers, in his edition of 1881, mid "The public conduct of every publio man is a matter of public concern. A man who fills a public office tenders himself open to public discus- sion." Then In tho same worktbere was a judgment of the late Lord Chief Justice, Lord Cock- burn,'in the case of Seainoor w. Butterworth. The Lord Chief Justice laid: Those wbo filled public offices must not be too thin skinned In the matter of comments made upon them. They must bear -they must submit to criticism, because lie (the Lord Chief Justice) knew that the criticism of the refe was the beat security the iii':i1heofr:bluW:I..):u wu another ca.?, that of Bill v. Neal, but he would not trouble them with extracts from that case. The jury had before them only a portion of the article In question. He knew that some of the jury were Cardiff men, and they had good memories, because with the unfairnees which had characterised the conduct of the case on the pat t of the plaintiff it was necessar 7 L?) bear in mind the whole matter of ,'I a<el'\fT¡'IY:U\ ;tm:te:.JJ in the paper was said about the plaintiff in hia capacity of maJor ad chi.f mgii rate the town. Mr. Abel Thomas gain objected to Mr. Vachell's remarks. Mr. Vachell, however, thought Mr. Thomas's in- terruptions were most unfair. The Under-Sheriff said if the coinmeut were only criticism theu it was not libel. The juiy were bound to ssiume that there was a libel, but to what extent the jury would have to judge Mr. Vachell, continuing, said suppose Instead of the mild criticism which was given In the first part of this article they had said something stronger -if in his capacity all cliief magistrate tliey had called hint a fool or an ass; If they had called him a blockhead if they had imputed to him a want of natural cleverness or ignorance of law, none of these tilings could have been brought up en them, tee¿I not have :;u a ?,,We penny. He appealed to the jury, M men of sense and understanding, to say whether these im- putations were made against Mr. Jones in his capa- city of a physiciau and surgeon or as mayor of the town. In the course of the speech Mr. Thomas denied certain observations said to have been made by the plaintiff, t? the effect that it would be a 1-ti.g dis 'auce to Uis town ;irF.dart ad¡M:.tA!¡ria: :rnth:OttA>: turned to the council by a triumphant majority," which statement Mr. V.chell declared to liave been ti -ovn cause f the libel. Ihis dl1'hlïio::r;f,ecapï::n<j,thJ'm¡:: having used the words, but added that at the time he bad no knowledge of other candidate* being in Ule field. Mr. Vachell: Hut Mr. Hopkins's name is in the paper at the time. The Undor-Slieriff, ip summing up, said it was a matter entirely for the jury to sum damages. He cited cases in which Ctiiel JusticeCockhurn and liaron Alderson had Itid down that the conduct of a public man win open to criticism, but tbat the criticism must be upon a man In his public capacity, and no motive should ha attributed. A caso in which the Hampthire Advtiiittr had com- mented ou the conduct of the Mayor of Winchester in 1840 seemed very much like this. Mr. Thomas remarked that those were coses in which privilege was pleaded. Mr. V?chcit said that WM interrupting the court. It, was taking advantage of the under- sheriff. Do would not b ve dared to do It with a judge. Mr. Thomas said he would if he thought some question of law was being wrongly put bofore jury. The Under-Sheriff said plaintiff's counsel seemed to differ from him in respect of his view of the law. But if lie laid down any low which was not ight he could be corrected !n the court above, fhat was, no doubt, a matter of satisfaction to the jury. That a libel had been published was admitted. Me. Aoel Thomas said the jury must auutne that a libel of the fullest extent bad been admitted, but he (the Under-sheriff) could not agree with him on that point. The view that he took was this: How far the article had exceeded what was fair comment on the plaintiff in bisaapa- city as mayor, and how far defendants had exceeded the scope wh:ch the law allowed them in that respect, and It was upon that point that thsy should base the damages. On the one hand the plaintiff's counsel had asked for vindictive damages, and on the other Mr. Vachell had asked the jury W award only nominal damages. But he (the Cnder-Slieriff) left it to them to say what was reasonable, bearing io mind the words which had been used respecting the plaintiff, which no counsel could have justified. Tliey could not, be thought, taka notice of any previous litmls what- ever. but simply consider how far the article had gone beyond the bounds of fair criticism and com- ment on the character of the plaintiff. Tlie jury then retired to their room to consider their award. I After the lapse of considerable time the jury re- turned into court, and Mr. Heywood, the foreman, said: In the absence of any evidence from Mr. Jones as to the actual loss be has suffered, the Jury are perfectly unable to decide all to the amount of damages. We are vary sorry. We have trud our best, but it is perfectly impossible for to agree. Mr. Abel Thomas having left the court, Mr. Hill, the plaintiff's solicitor, suggested that Mr. Jones should go in the box and state his damages. The Under-Sheriff Mid the course suggested was Irregular, but, under the circumstances, he thought it ,g)?t be d I It M'aceO:id if such were done he should enter a protest. The plaintiff was not re-called, ""d the Under- Sheriff re-addressed the Jury, wno "111 it ureu. After some time the Foreman returned, and askod if a verdict of ten" would be accepted. if T vU:.s;ri' s?id it wM <or tht ?ry to decide the amount of damage and to agree upon it. Then the Foreman said they could not agree. Meanwhile negotiations h? been going on between the parties. After ti?e ?eri. been kept waiting SQme time f, taking the dLi- agreement of tho jury, Mr. Vachell said: I am very sorry the offer I made has not been accepted. We must take the verdict of the jury. Mr. Hill appealed for a little more tame. After consultatiou with his client, ho made a communi- cation to Mr. Vachell, who said: The nutter has now been amicably MtUed between the pMtiM. We pay htUf'le coltw: solicitor and client we withdraw all imputations against him, Rod we have nc desire or wish, and we agree in the futuro not to molest him or make aspersions against his charac- ter. As I have myself apoto?iMd twice during this hearing it is hardly necessary to do so again. But If the plaintiff wishes It, on behalf of tlie defendants I agal n apologise. The jury were then discharged.

At an early hour iu the morning there were unmistakable signs of grief and sorrow to be seen in every digel,n, and the crowded state of the trains which ran into BaJa from all parts of the country indicated that au event of no ordinary Interest was to take place. From Inquiries made at the tti?.

The directors of the company first met at the offices of the latter, 8, Working-etrett, then adjourned to tbe arcade, and, after a moat careful Inspection, it was declared open to the public by the chairman. This Interesting ceremony over another followed. Messrs. Perkins Bros, aa the largest holders of pio- perty un Jer the company, entertained tbe directors In one of the spacious rooms attaclied to their shop, ivfnre separating scvenl toast* were proposed, Mr. J.

The ser- vices of the architect were recognised In appro- priate terms, high oulogiuak being paid to him and to tho contractors, Messra. C. Slieppaid and Bins, whose work was declared to hwe beer. done in a manner satisfactory in everv respect. Tlie directors present were Messrs. f. O Evans ( imir- man ) u. D.mf6rd, C. J. J.ckso?. H.

We have on a previous occa- sion given a description of the arcado, but wa utav add that it contains S4 shope. with rentals ranging fmm £36, and that the whole undertaking; cost. £8700. A particular feature of the arcade is the frontage of Messrs. Perkins' establishment, which is one of the finest in Cardiff. An idea of the capaciousness of the premises rented by this firm may be deduced trom the fact that they have a storage room 155ft. in length. This enterprising firm intend forthwith to re-build that portion of thosbop fronting St. Mary-street.
