CADOXTON-BARRY BURGLARS AT…
CADOXTON-BARRY BURGLARS AT THE ASSIZE COURT. PRISONERS FOUND GUILTY AND WILL BE SENTENCED. At the Glamorganshire Assizes on Wednesday last, held at Swansea, before Mr Commissioner Bompas, Joseph Woodfield, 19, Henry Woodfield (his father), and John Seal, 19, were charged with feloniously breaking into the shop of George Gar- nett at Cadoxton, and stealing a number of silk handkerchiefs and a pair of gloves. Henry Wood- field and Seal, together with a man named Samuel Jukes, were further charged with a burglary at a dwelling-house in Wenvoe, and stealing there- from a quantity of eggs, butter, cheese, &c., the property of Margaret Morgan.—On the first-named charge prisoncrs were found not guilty, the jury being dissatisfied with the identification of the articles. The jury found the prisoners guilty of the second charge.—Seal was then tried and found guilty of a burglary at Cadoxton, and of stealing a watch, a brooch, and a shirt.—Henry Woodfield, and Harriett Woodfield, his wife, were lastly charged with receiving the proceeds of one of the burglaries at Cadoxton, knowing them to have been stolen. In this case the woman was found guilty and the man not guilty. —His Lordship de- ferred sentence in the other cases.—Full particu- lars of the cases have already appeared in the Barry Dock News.
TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION ON…
TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION ON BARRY ISLAND. A grand open-air demonstration and public tea was held on Monday last (bank-holiday) on Barry Island in connection with the Barry Wesleyan Gospel Temperance Society. Many of the mem- bers of the Hope of Barry Branch of the Sons of Temperance Society assisted at the demonstration. A procession was formed at the top of Queen- street, East Barry, and having been headed by the Sunday School Drum and Fife Band, they marched in procession along Queen-street and High-street, thence to the island, where a very pleasant after- noon was spent. Shortly after five o'clock a pub- lic meeting was held, when Mr E. Fennell, of Newport, presided, and addresses were delivered by a number of local and other gentlemen, the speeches being interspersed with hymns, &c., given by the temperance choir. The weather was par- ticularly fine, and the demonstration proved very successful. It is hoped that the cause of temper- ance in the district has materially benefitted thereby.
jBONVILSTONE.
BONVILSTONE. PRESENTATION TO THE PASTOR OF CARMEL CHAPEL, TRESIMWM.—It having been announced to the members of Carmel Church, Tresimwm, Bonvilstone, that the pastor, the Rev W. E. Evans, intended proceeding on a holiday to his native place, W ern, Cardiganshire, it was felt that, the rev. gentleman should not be allowed to leave without a tangible expression of the respect with which he is held by the church. Mr John Smith, of New Wallace Farm, Wenvoe, who is promin- ently identified with the Carmel cause, and others, accordingly explained the matter to their fellow members, with the result that a substantial col- lection was made, and the Rev Mr Evans has just been the recipient of a handsome sum of money towards the travelling and other expenses connec- ted with his holidays. We are glad that such good feeling exists between pastor and flock at Carmel Church.

ST. NICHOLAS PETTY SESSIONS.
ST. NICHOLAS PETTY SESSIONS. WEDNESDAY. Before Mr 0. H. Jones (chair- man), Major-General Lee, and Mr Tudor Crawshay. MISS JEæiER AND THE MAGISTRATES. Miss Jenner, Typica, Wenvoe, made an applica- tion respecting a proposed new drinking depot at Wenvoe, but the magistrates refused to hear the whole of the application until the licensing day. The following is a copy of Miss Jenner's intended application :— [COPY.] The Typica, Wenvoe, August 5th, 1891. To Her Majesty's Justices of the Peace, sitting Saint Nicholas, in the Hundred of Dynas Powis, county Glamorgan.—May it please your worships, as a freeholder in the parish of Wenvoe, county Glamor- gan, and born at Wenvoe Castle, in the same parish and county, March 8th, 1835, I desire respectfully to draw your attention, as representing a portion of » very responsible annual licensing body, to a new building recently opened for the sale of drink or otherwise, situated, I regret to say, on a portion of the Wenvoe Castle Estate, near The Little Greave," probably on No. 298 of the Ordnance Survey Maps, Sheet 117, and adjoining the new coal yard. From information I have received I learn "that a license has been obtained from the Inland Revenue Office for it some two months back under some ancient Act, of half-a-century old, and that it is in the hands of two local parties. From inquiries that I have instituted in various parts of the country, as to this ancient Act, I am rejoiced to learn that a very strong feeling exists in the minds of the authorities at large that the time has arrived for this antiquated Act to be abolished, or so amended as that no license should or could be obtainable but through the annual licensing magistrates, and to be under the surveillance of the police, whereas, in this case, up to three weeks ago, when I called upon the superintendent of the police at Canton, Cardiff, as to this new depot here for drink in sight of the parish church at Wenvoe, and of the county police station here, he assured me he had never even heard of it It is very probable that a deputation will wait upon you as licensing magis- trates next month, with a view to bringing the Act aforesaid to the forefront or otherwise, and viewing the strong sentiments expressed by a much respected local magistrate sitting at Cadoxton-juxta-Barry as to suppressing drunkenness in this district, as reported in the Barry Dock News of July 31st, I feel persuaded it is incumbent upon me, as a private individual, but more especially as a public voluntary worker of some 40 years' standing to suppress and check drunkenness, and especially amongst women, to bring this Act before you to-day, and I ask that your clerk may be directed to make enquiries respecting it, and that any necessary precautions as to its being carried out at Wenvoe or otherwise may be given and I further ask that this application may be entered upon the minutes of your meeting here to-day. I have the honour to remain, gentlemen, Yours faithfully, GERTRUDE JENNER, Spinster. Miss Jenner also asked if dogs could be muzzled again, as there were several ferocious animals at large in Wenvoe and district.—The Chairman said the magistrates had no power to make a general muzzling order, as dog-days were passed. KEEPING A DOG WITHOUT A LICENSE. Frederick Griffiths, Bonvilstone, was let off with a caution for keeping a dog without a license. The facts of the case have already ap- peared in the Barry Dock News. FURIOUS JEHU'S AT ST. NICHOLAS. David Thomas and Thomas Evans, St. George's, were charged on remand by P.C. David Jones (16) with furiously driving a horse each through the village of St. Nicholas on the 5th of May last, about nine p.m. Witness stated that the defend- ants were driving back and fore through the village repeatedly, endangering the lives of children and others who were passing at the time. He cautioned them, and Evans said he did not care anything at all about him, and asked him (witness) what had he to do with it. Thomas was also rather abusive.—Evans was fined 2s 6d and 2s 6d costs; Thomas (who did not appear) was fined 5s and 2s 6d costs. PRODIGAL PIGS. Septimus Noyes, St. George's, was summoned by P.C. David Jones for allowing three of his pigs to stray on the highway on the 18th of May. He (witness) had repeatedly cautioned James said defendant had been dismissed soiite time ago at that court for allowing his cow to stray on the road.—Fined 2s 6d and 2s 6d costs. A CARDIFF BARMAID AND HER AUNT. Mary Ellen Kennedy, barmaid at the Tredegar Arms, Cardiff; was charged with assaulting her aunt, Catherine Crummings, St. George's, on the 14th of June last.—Complainant said defendant came to her house in company with her brother on the day named, about six o'clock in the even- ing. The defendant asked for her uncle, but she (complainant) did not know her. Defendant shortly afterwards spat in her face, and struck her insensible with her umbrella.—Thomas and Eva Roach, husband and wife, St. George's, corroborated, what the last witness had stated and Tracey Joseph, Cardiff, gave evidence for the defence.—Defendant was bound over in £10 to keep the peace for six months. Eva Roach also charged the same defendant with breaking a window with a stick on the same day. Thomas Roach said he was sitting on a bench underneath the window at the time, and the glass flew over his head.—Fined 2s. 6d. and costs, together with the amount of damage. A CADOXTON BOARDING-HOUSE KEEPER IN TROUBLE. John Dwyer, boarding-house keeper, Cadoxton, was fiued 5s. and costs for furiously driving through Wenvoe Village on the 19th ultimo. P.C. Alfred Peacock proved the case. A DISOBEDIENT SAILOR. C. Cancione, fireman on board the steamer Start, now lying at Barry Dock, was charged with disobeying orders.—Captain Frank Deacon said he was master of the ship named. He sailed from Cardiff on the 13th of May for Ancona and Odessa. On the 15th of J une he was sailing up the Dardanelles when he heard some loud talking by the ventilator. Upon enquiry he found that the defendant refused to heave up a bucket of coals for the use of the galley, and was very insolent. He (witness) then asked him to heave up the coals, and he again refused. He read the articles out to him with reference to disobeying orders. He gave him another chance the next day, and he again emphatically refused to do anything. Defendant also absented himself from duty, and he was one of the worst men he had ever had on board with him.—Henry Pater- son, chief engineer, corroborated the evidence of the captain, and the accused was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment.
CARDIFF HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.'
CARDIFF HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. THE FORTHCOMING ANNUAL SHOW. By an advertisement in another column it will be found that the annual show of flowers, fruit, vegetables, and honey, in connection with the above society, will be held at the Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, on Wednesday and Thursday next, the 12th and 13t h instant, under the presidency of the Worshipful Mayor of Cardiff (the Most Hon. the Marquess of Bute). The Mayoress (Lady Bute) has graciously consented to be present to open the show on the first day. The attractions are very numerous, the society haviug spared no expense to make this year's show the best ever held in the Principality The principal features include the engagement of Her Majesty's 1st Life Guards' Band, and the Severn Volunteer Division Royal Engineers' Band, to play both days. The British Fruit Growers' Association will hold a conference on "Fruit culture for profit." In the evening there will be an illumina- tion of the gardens by prismatic and other lamps, and a promenade concert, with both bands in attendance. The tents will be illuminated, prac- tically giving the novelty of a flower show by night. On the second evening there will be a promenade concert, with a grand display of fire- works by Pain and Sons, London. It is needless to say that such attractions cannot be provided without considerable expense. The committee, therefore, earnestly hope the public will give the society their most liberal support and patronage. Messrs E. C. Blackmore and H. Gillett are doing all in their power to make the show a complete success. The entries are already flowing in rapidly, and everything seems to bid fair in the direction of crowning the most sanguine efforts of the promoters.

Ed- wards (son of Mr David Edwards, relieving officer of the district) took the chief prize for general subjects, a handsomely bound volume of Trevelyan's "Life of Macaulay." Subjoined are the reports of the examiners Vere-street, Cadoxton, July 24, 1891. Dear Mr Morris,—I regret exceedingly that I shall not be able to be present at your breaking-up to- morrow. I was very much struck with the intelligent way in which your pupils went through their viva voce examination in history yesterday. They showed that they had been well grounded in the subject, and had been taught to take an intelligent interest in it. I was especially pleased with the answers of O. Loughor and R. Edwards.—Believe me, yours very faithfully, W. LLEWELLYN WILLIAMS, B.A., Late Scholar of Brasenose College, Oxford, and Powis Exhibitioner. Cardiff, August 4, 1891. Df-ar Mr Morris,—I have had much pleasure in inspecting the mathematical papers set at the exam- ination of the Cadoxton-Barry Grammar School. The accuracy displayed in the arithmetic paper is most commendable, and the neatness, taking the papers throughout, of a .■ triking character. The paper of T. Evans is especially noticeable for the two above qualities, and R. Edwards, G. Lougher, and A. Hoddinott also deserve especial mention. The answers in the euclid paper were also well given throughout; those of H. Whitburn being best. In conclusion, I must congratulate you and your scholars on the year's work.—I am, very faithfully yours, J. J. DUMBLE, M.A., Queen's College, Oxford, late Head-master of the High School, Leeds.

The collecting books for the Inskip Testi- monial Fund have been distributed amongst rail- way men throughout the district served by the Barry, Penarth, and Taff systems, and already most encouraging reports have been received by the executive committee. MESSRS. COURTIS & COMPANY AND THE BARRY DIVIDEND. Messrs J. W. Courtis and Co., brokers, Cardiff, in their report of August 1st, state:—" The announcement of the Barry dividend at the rate of 11 per cent. per annum has not occasioned any fluctuation in the price of the stock, which keeps steady at 227-9. We think the directors have acted wisely in strengthening the reserve by the addition of L5,000 and in carrying forward a substantial balance, these amounts being sufficient z, to pay another 2 to 2 per cent. This is a fact worth consideration, and is further evidence of the sound principles on which the company is conducted, which cannot fail to have a good effect on the minds of investors. The preference stocks are in demand, but only a limited business has been done in them." I IMPORT TRADE AT BARRY DOCKS. Messrs Roberts, Thomas, & Company, timber and building material merchants, Barry Docks, have just imported another large cargo of timber. It will also be seen by the weekly report of the Brary Company published in this column that the eeneral import trade last week was unusually large, amounting to a total of about 1,200 tons. α SHIPPING AND TONNAGE FOR THE PAST WEEK.

THE ANCIENT FAMILY OF BARRY.
THE ANCIENT FAMILY OF BARRY. We are indebted to the courtesy of Mr John Robinson, M.Inst.C.E., the resident engineer of the Barry Company, for the following inter- esting information In the famous Church at Bowness, on Win- dermere, there is on one of the compartments the effigies of five or six Cartmel Monks, out of the mouth of one of which there issues a label, and on it is still legible the name of WILLIAM BARAYE. According to tradition the large window in the chancel of Bowness Church, Windermere, was brought from Furness Abbey at 'the time of the dissolution of the Monastery, A.D. 1537, but it is believed to have been taken out of the chancel of the Priory Church of St. Mary at Cartmel about the end of the reign of Henry VI, A.D. 1471. Amongst the list of names of the first twenty-four sidemen on record, taken from an old book in the vestry chest at Cartmel, dated 17th May, 1597, are the following :Ri-hard Bariey, Edward Barrey, Richard Rowbinsonn, John Barbon, Roger Brock- bancke, and X'per Barrey de Lindale.
CARDIFF.
CARDIFF. MESSRS. A. LEWIS & COMPANY, horticultural builders, Cardiff, will be unable, through the re- cent disastrous fire, to exhibit any greenhouses at the forthcoming flower show at Cardiff, but they hope to be ready in a few days to resume business, and any order they may be entrusted with will be executed in their usual finished style, and we trust that local people will not forget them in heir misfortune.
