CADOXTON-BARRY MURDER CASE. ADJOURNED HEARING AT PENARTH. CONDEMNATORY EVIDENCE OF EYE- WITNESSES. DWYER COMMITTED FOR TRIAL ON THE MAJOR CHARGE. At Penarth Police Court on Monday last-before Mr James Ware (chairman) and Mr Valentine Trayes—Johm Dwyer, lodging-house keeper, Cadox- ton, was charged with wilfully and feloniously mur- dering Alfred Gardiner, of Palmerstown, by striking him with a stone on the forehead on the night of Saturday, the 18th of October last, at Cadoxton- Barry. Mr T. H. Belcher, solicitor, Cardiff, appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Treasury, and Mr F. P. Jones-Lloyd, solicitor, Cadoxton, defended. Mr Belcher, in opening the case on behalf of the Crown, said this was simply a court of first inquiry, and it was not for the magistrates to go into the merits of the case, but simply see whether it was a prima facie case to go before a jury in the face of the evidence which would be adduced. He then described the circumstances of the case, and asked the magistrates to commit the prisoner for trial on the charge of "Wilful murder." Mr J. C. Pardoe, surveyor to the Barry and Cadox- ton Local Board, submitted a plan showing the locus in quo of the late murder, ana said that tne distance from the triplex lamp at the corner of the Wenvoe Arms Hotel to the railway bridge below was 115 yards, and 93 yards from the lamp to the Barry Company's private footway. There were three gradients in this piece of road, 1 in 10, 1 in 8, and 1 in 9. Mr J. W. Morris, acting magistrates' clerk, gave evidence to prove that he took the deceased man's depositions before death on Sunday, October 26th, before Major-General Lee, which were taken on oath in the presence of the prisoner. Mr Belcher then read the depositions of the de- ceased, in the course of which it was pointed out that the prisoner was a perfect stranger to deceased. John Henry Grant, ticket collector at Cadoxton Railway Station, in course of cross-examination by Mr Jones-Lloyd, said he did not remember that he failed to recognise the prisoner at the first hearing of the case before the magistrates. He was not positive of the prisoner then, but now he was perfectly certain that the man who struck the deceased was the prisoner. He could see both up and down the road distinctly from where he stood, and he saw no one else touching the deceased ustil after he had been struck with the stone, when he was picked up by a number of men and taken away. William Packington, 84, Queen-street, East Barcy, a friend of the deceased, said he was quite certain that Dwyer took off his jacket and went down the hill towards the deceased om the night in question. He saw him stoop down and pick something up, although he could not say what he picked up. He followed prisoner down shortly afterwards, and saw Gardiner lying on the ground a few yards from the bridge. Dwyer was cursing and swearing at the time, and said he would fight anybody on the road. He saw another man in the trap, but he did not see him get out at all. On the following Monday he saw John Dwyer at the Witchill Hotel, Cadoxton. It was between three and four o'clock in the afternoon. Prisoner asked him if his name was "Didici." That was his (witness') nick-name. Prisoner also asked him if he remembered picking a man up in the road near the Wenvoe Arms Hotel on the previous Satur- day night. The Prisoner: I asked nothing of the kind. You called me outside. Witness (continuing): I told him that I did pick a man up. He then asked me if I knew where Pincher lived, and he would give me money to go and make up the matter, saying at the same time that he had knocked some man down; and that he was anxious to give me money to give to Pincher to say no more about it. Prisoner repeated that he had knocked a man down, and that he had heard that his name was "Pincher." The deceased was known by the nick name of "Pincher." Cross-examined by Mr Jones-Lloyd: This state- ment was made by Dwyer on the Monday after the deceased was struck. A man known as "Ginge. Burns was present at the time, but I don't know whether he heard what we were talking about. I did not approach the prisoner first, and tell him that I picked deceased up, and that he ought to make up with Gardiner. I did not want to fight Dwyer in a public house at Penarth on the subsequent Monday, but Dwyer insulted me. When I went down the road towards the railway bridge to the deceased, who was lying on the ground, I met a railway official, who told me that prisoner had knocked a man down. I was quite sober on the night in question, having only drank a share of a quart of beer with a man named Tom Brooks and the deceased. I was not refused drink by the barmaid of the Wenvoe Arms Hotel that night. I was wishing Gardiner "Good night when Dwyer came up in a trap, alighted, took off his coat and hat, and went down the road towards the bridge. When Gardiner left the hotel he had nothing whatever in his hand. I cannot say whether it was a dark or light night, but the lights from the station and the corner of the hotel shone brightly down the road. Dwyer was driving on the right side of the trap, and he came down on that side. I did not say I heard angry voices at the corner of the hotel. Thomas Brooks, labourer, 94, Queen-street, East Barry: I remember the night of the 18th October last. About 10 minutes past 11 I was going to catch the last train at Cadoxton Station for Barry. I remem- ber passing the lamp at the corner of the Wenvoe Arms Hotel. There was a pony and trap standing there. There were two men in the trap, one of whom jumped out, and pulled off his hat and jacket. I recognise the man as John Dwyer, and am perfectly certain it waS not the other man. Dwyer said he did not care a b-- for any man there, and then ran down the road. Packington was with me at the time. After Dwyer ran down the road he came back. He then started to go down the road a second time, and having gone a few yards he stooped as if to pick up something. He then went down towards the bridge again, and came back in the course of four or five minutes, jumped into the trap, and drove away. About five minutes afterwards I walked down the road and saw Gardiner lying on the left hand side of the road. I saw no une but Dwyer go down the road after the deceased. Gardiner went down the road first that evening, and was followed by Dwyer. Packington was the first to pick up the deceased. I heard some words passed near the bridge, but I saw no one quarrelling. Vincent Martin, Moxon-street, Cadoxton: I was near the Wenvoe Arms Hotel about ten minutes past eleven on the night of the 18th October. There was a pony and trap standing at the corner. I saw no one in the trap. Prisoner was standing behind the trap. He was cursing and swearing, and calling out to some men below—"You are no b-- men to stay down there in the dark; come up in the light and have it out." The men continued chaffing, and would not come up, so he went down to them. He was down a few minutes when he came back, and said: Some one has given me a crack on the arm with a stick." The men would not come up, so Dwyer stooped down and picked up a stone, and again went down in the direction of the railway bridge. I am- positive Dwyer was the man who picked up the stone. Prisoner then came back to the corner, and some man told him Jack, put on your jacket, and come away out of it." By Mr Jones-Lloyd I did not go down the hill only a few yards. I don't know who were the men standing about. I did not go down far, because I was afraid of the stones myself. I saw no stones thrown. Dr. E. Treharne (whose previous evidence having been read over), said: If the wound was caused by a stone it must have beeu thrown with considerable violence. I attended Gardiner up to the time of his death on the 14th of November, and I made a post mortem examination of the body on the evening of the same day. [Witness then described the injuries which caused death as already published in the Barry Dock NellIB.) # Cross-examined by Mr Jones-Lloyd: I did not hear Gardiner say that he did not care to say anything I, abcut the occurrence. A.P.S. William Gammon: f arrested the accused about nine o'clock on the 25th of October, at the Royal Hotel, Cadoxton, and told him he must accom- I pany me to the police-station, where I charged him with unlawfully wounding and doing grievous bodily harm to Alfred Gardiner on the night of the 18th October. I also cautioned him, and in answer to the charge he said, You did not see me do it, did you ?" Last Monday I charged him at Penarth police station, in the presence of Superintendent Wake, with wil- ful murder, and in reply he said—" I know nothing at all about it." I was also present when prisoner made a statement to Sergt. Gill. P.S. John Gill: I served a copy of notice of the intention of the magistaates' clerk to take deceased's depositions on the morning of Sunday, the 26tn October. Prisoner said nothing at the time On the morning of the same day prisoner sent for me to his cell at Cadoxton police station, and said he wanted to make a statement. I cautioned him, and he made the following statement in the presence of A.P.S. Gammon and P.C. Bnulton" Between ten and quarter past eleven p.m. last Saturday week I was coming from Cardiff in my pony and trap. John Burnett was with me, and another man I did not know. I gave him a lift. By the bridge below the Wenvoe Arms Hotel I met four men. One used filthy language towards us, another struck the pony with a stick, and aftewards hit me, and broke the stick across my arm. Another seized the wheels of the trap, and another had his hand in the trap. I had some fowls, a parlour fender, coal scuttle, and bedstead in the trap. I got dcwn off the trap about 20 yards above the bridge, and the other piece of stick was flung at me. The pony turned round and backed the trap into the bank, knocked one of the men down and the bedstead must have caught the man between it and the bank, as the side of the bedstead was covered with blood, and my wife washed it off on Sunday morning. I took the pony to the top of the hill by the Wenvoe, near the lamp at the corner. I told Burnett to stop by the pony, and I would go back to see what he meant to do by stopping me on the road. Several other men went down, and I went 4own after thom, but could not recognise the man who struck me with the stick. My hat was knocked off in the scuffle, and a man about 5 feet 5 inches picked it up, and he lives by the "Three Bells" public house." I took this statement down in writing, read it over to the prisoner, and he said "That is right," and signed it. Mr Belcher said this was his case, and he again asked the Bench to commit the prisoner for trial on the charge of wilful murder. Mr Jones-Lloyd, on behalf of the accused, pleaded not guilty, and reserved his defence. The Bench accordingly committed the prisoner for arial at the ensuing assizes to be holden at Swansea on the capita] charge of Wilful Murder."

I THE HEALTHINESS OF RELIGION. SERMON BY THE REV. J. H. STOWELL, M.A. At the English Congregational Chapel, East Barry, on Sunday evening last, the Rev. J. H. Stowell, M.A., pastor of the church, preached on "The Healthiness of Religion" in connection with his series of Sermons to Young Men, basing the following excellent discourse upon Psalm 103, 3—" Who healeth all thy diseases." It is a great misfortune that in connection with religion simple words tend to become very mysterious till they almost lose their real and definite meaning. I wonder, for instance, how many, say, of us gathered here to-night, ordinarily connect the idea of health with the idea of holiness. Connect them, do I say ? Why, they should not need any connecting at all. They are really the same thing. Any modern dictionary will shew you that the very words healthiness and holiness are 'actually the same word in different forms. You know the language of the New Testament when it speaks ot healing or health being brought to a diseased body thy faith hath made thee whole," "wilt thou be made whole" i.e., simply wilt thou be made healthy." And the idea and the word are precisely the same if you say wilt thou be made holy." It looks like a pun or a play upon words, but it is not, for the words, in English at least, are essentially one and the same though they are spelt differently. They mean wholeness, entirety, perfectness throughout one's nature. But, as you know, we have got into the way of making a great distinction between the soul and the body. When we speak of the perfectness of the soul we use the word holy; when we speak of the perfectness of the body we use the word healthy. Yet we mean the same thing in both cases. Now our subject to-night is the healthiness of religion; and after what I have said you will see that I believe everything we can say about health in religion is an explanation of what we mean, or ought to mean, when we speak about holiness. But in the first place let me pro- test against a misconception very common both in religion and in other connections. I have said we commonly make a distinction between the soul and the body. This is very convenient, and true to a certain extent; but it is not finally satisfactory to say a man is made up of two parts, and soul and body. There is something revolting in the thought of a man, so to speak, bei ig in sections or pieces. When you meet a friend the best greeting is to ask how are you, not how is your soul or how is your body, but how are you yourself. And that is what we do naturally say for we are conscious of something artificial in a strong distinction between body and soul. When we use the word soul familiarly it ought to mean the self, the character, the entire personality to which body and spirit belong. However, let us turn to the text. Here the word soul is used in the proper comprehensive sense, I think. Bless the Lord, 0 my soul, who healeth all thy diseases," the diseases of the whole nature. The comfort and truth of this religious cry of the Psalmist is that it recognises the oneness of our nature and claims the goodness of God as a healing balm for all our diseases. Now, some may smile at this and say religion is all very wellfor our mental and moral life, but it is science, not religion, that cures our physical diseases. Isn't it? True, science does minister immediately to the body, if it is true at all to make exact distinc- tion between one part of our nature and another. But I should like to shew, as I have just suggested, that our spiritual parts are not quite distinct; indeed, they are so interwoven and independent that there cannot be perfect physical health with- out perfect health of mind and thongh the mind is the hitrher of the two and may sometimes seem, even when the body is diseased, a perfectly healthy mind seems to demand as its right and privelege a perfectly healthy body. Moreover, diseases of the soul, too, are a matter of science science itself is a mental thing; and the impulse to heal, whether morally, intellectually, or physically, has one and only one original source, namely, trust in a Great Beneficence whose purpose is the healing of the nations." Well, now, in speaking of the healthiness of religion let us consider, 1st, How religion removes disease; 2nd, How it prevents disease. I am afraid most of us come under the first head. We are anxious about the removal of disease. Few of us are quite healthy in body even and in mind and heart and conscience without exception weare either diseased now or have at one time been so. But look for a moment at what we consider simply bodily diseases. I was greatly impressed once, when a clever quack doctor was drawing teeth lor nothing, with the" dozens, the scores of people that came forward to endure the pain of having teeth pulled out. One could scarcely realise the amount of keen physical suffering present in that gathering of a few hundred people. But tooth-ache is com- paratively nothing. It made me think of the hundreds of silent sufferers with far more serious pains, whom one passes day by day in the street, without a thought. Physical suffering? It is a terrible thing. Look at the columns of any news- paper or magazine, and judge from the thousands of pounds spent in advertising remedies, the tens of thousands of sufferers over the country. A doctor in Germany has discovered a cure for con- sumption and nearly the whole civilized world is excited. The man who is callous as to the physical sufferings or diseases of the world is no Christian he is himself no healthy human being. Is it a wonder that our Lord worked miracles of healing ? Do you think he could help it ? It was natural that nealing power should go out from Him. His heart was the heart of sympathy, and the sorrows of the people around Him were His own. They cried to Him in an agony of distress and faith which He could not resist. He had come to heal, to make man whole and perfect in every part. His spirit was that mighty Love that not only called the world into being, but gave itself to pain and death to save the world it had made. He could not refuse to grant those comforting signs—attending prematurely, as it were, to the outer pare of His work-signs that people could understand when words would have failed to convey to them God's message of merc.y And see the result of these miracles of Christ. They have from the very first pledged Christianity to the extermination of pain and disease from the world. Miracle or no miracle to-day this thing has to be done. Philosophers or scientists may take a languid or professional interest in disease, but Christians take a moral interest in it, they stand pledged to a war against in the name of God. It has no business in God's kingdom. And in this matter science is but the handmaid of faith. And, by the way, when we say God sends our afflictions, that it is His will, and so on, we must not forget that in the larger views of Providence we see it is God's ultimate intention to do away with disease altogether. There if a sense, too, in which, of course, God sends many diseases upon us—shall I say to teach us common sense?—when we have neglected ordinary rules of cleanliness and careful living. And remember any physical disease may be made to yield spiritual good in the direction of patience, reflection, and humility. But that does nop alter the fact that that disease in itself ift, bad. Again, not only is Christianity pledged by its Founder and Head to the extermination of disease by outward treatment. It comes to every individ ual with a message of actual physical health. It lays a healing hand on the leprosy of every impure life. It drives out the devils of intemper- ance and lust. The moment the Spirit of Christ reaches a man's nature, it tends in the direction of physical health, however bad, however corrupt, however depraved the organism is. Here is the perpetual miracle of healing which beeran with our Saviour's works of mercy. There is no doctor, however sceptical he may be towards religion, at all sceptical as to the influence of the mind upon the body in disease. He knows that a bad, anxious, inflamed, or desperate mind is a complete hindrance to cure in many an illness; and that there are cases on the other hand where the calm hope and trust of the Christian temper will have almost miraculous results. So much for physical health. What about mental ? A large number of lunatics in all asylums are suffering from what is called religious mania. Does that make it appear that religion is bad for the health of the mind ? No; I think not. But it shows that religion like everything else can be perverted. Some religion is a worship of devils. Some ideas that even shelter themselves under the name of Christian are bad, untrue, horrible. And when these get fixed in people's minds it is no wonder they go mad. The only religion that I can argue is healthy is true religion. Let us beware of teaching anything that may turn ou" to be false. But see what true religion can do for diseases of the mind. The foulness that is the beginning of many a case of insanity it at once clears out like the casting out of a devil, and for the morbid imagination it gives bright and beautiful thoughts. For despondency that darkens life and brings on premature death it gives hope and a cheerful courage. For perplexity and distraction in thought about the problems of life, it gives the central and regulating clue of God and His pur- pose. To the feeble, hesitating will it brings a "high calling in which there need nevermore be hesitation or weakness. Yes, in the removal of actual disease of any kind, philosophy is good and science is good, but religion is the sovereign remedy, for it is the ultimate source and strength of the others. But now, secondly as to the preven- tion of disease. Does religion positively build up physical health ? Yes, of course it does. Don^j listen for a moment to any. scheme of religion that asks you to mutilate yourself, or poison, or cripple your body in any way. That is heathen- ism. The teaching of Christianity 'is that the body is the temple of the Spirit of God. Let it be a strong beautiful temple at least, let it be pure and wholesome outwardly. Let nothing that defiles enter into it. It is only a temple, after all, and may in the carrying out of God's purposes get defaced and lose its comeliness as in the case of our Master Himself. Father Damien lived with the lepers and became a leper himself. Missionaries have to enter deadly regions and waste away with fever or be tortured by cannibals. Servants of Christ at home have sometimes to sacrifice health and die broken down. Hundreds of people find that physical health, after all, comes second in the plan of life. But it is a good second. It is a religious duty to see that the body is kept in training and cared for with the utmost care, for it is with the body that the spirit ex- presses its worship for God. Present your bodies," as Paul says, "a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

LORD CONNEMARA AND THE BARRY COMPANY.

ENCROACHMENTS ON CADOXTON COMMON. To the Editor of the I I BARRY DOCK NEWS." SrR, -In the report published in the Barry Dock News of the Court Leet recently held at the Picnic Hall, Cadoxton-Barry, I was rather astonished to notice that only a very small pro. portion of the encroachments made on Cadoxton Common are mentioned, and those,in a somewhat invidious manner. Now, Sir, I think, for the information of people who have only of late years come to this neighbourhood, the following en- croachments ought to be noticed :—Beginning with Castle Hill, Mr Clode has taken in some {)erches for a garden Mr John Brock has done ikewise on Little Hill; on the same hill Mrs Ann Brock has encroached on common land for a garden and space for a shed. Mr J. Evans has also taken land for pig styes, sheds, and garden. Proceeding to Great Hill, the late Mr T. Jenkins encroached for land for garden, stable, and pig- styes. To proceed to Pleasant Hill, here there have been encroachments made by the late Mr David Evans for a bakehouse, stable and garden. Mrs Ann John alsohas a shed on Cadoxton Common. It may be news to some of your readers to hear' that the bar-entrance of the Royal Hotel is on- common land, that, the end of Itain-attest, oppo- site which the Royal Hotel stands, for a distance of fifty yards, is mostly on common land. The boun- dary wall to the backs of the houses in Main-street and the frontage of High-street are on Common land, and in the centre of the latter the encroach- ment is 12ft. On Cadoxton Moors the encroach- ments have been numerous, though not qpite so palpable. I am, yours, &c., FREEHOLDER.
