JUDGMENT IN MARDY MIN- I ING ISSUE. The question as to whether it is customary for colliers to unload ru b- bish left at the coal face was the point involved in a case heard at the Pontypridd County Court on Thurs- day, the lltli inst. Two Mardy col- liers claimed a day's pay from Lock- et's Merthyr Colliery Co., through being unable to work in consequence of a tram of rubbish being left in their working place. Mr. E. Ham- mond, for the plaintiffs, contended that as far as the 4ft. seam was con- cerned colliers did not unload ru b- bish in the face. Mr A. Prosser, for the company, called witnesses, who stated that colliers did this work and were paid for it. His Honour found that the work- ing arrangement at the colliery was that if by accident the night men had no time to unload the rubbish it wia8 the duty of the collier to do so. It was understood that if a consider- able amount of work was involved in unloading more than 9d. would be allowed. If there was no such prac- tice it would be impossible to carry on the colliery. He gave judgment for the company with costs, and re- marked that it would be better for the parties to agree upon a price list for this work.

ECHO OF THE GEE AT FIGHT. I Thomas John Bees, a Treorcliy youth, summoned Thomas John for assault. The former's case was that whilst in a ref"<-shment shop discussing the Carpentier v. Pecket fight defendant caught him by the collar and bumped him against the Avail. Defendant slated that he merely shook the lad because lie used filthy language. The case was adjourned for the I attenchnce of the shopkeepers.

■ A Gentleman from Dartford, Kent Writing for a copy of The Matrimonial Circle" on 19thj July, 5a),s I I was delighted when I saw your advertisement in the 11 Datiford Chronicle." I con- sider the 11 Matrimonial Circle is just the very thing needed in these tivies, and I see how directly appropriate it is to the present, now the strain of the past conflict is over.' Further evidence that the extraordinary prejudice amongst many people of the idea of Marriage being arranged through a Matrimonial Journal is now steadfastly disappearing. Time will soon show that this bias is absurd, and that no single Lady or Gentleman desiring Marriage will hesitate to write for The Matrimonial Circle The best and most reliable introductory Journal for all classes eonteoiplatirg matrimony a method of iiitroduction diapeutiog with orthodox society etiquette.

I Treorchy. A successful benefit dance was held on Thursday evening, the 11th inst. at the Ambulance Hall, Treorcliy, under the auspices of the Treorchy Pals Touring Club in aid of Thomas Harris, who was severely wounded in the war and had his leg amputated. Mr Gwilym Richards' band provided the music. There was a large at- tendance. Mr J. R. Lewis carried out the duties of M.C. There was no work at the A ber- gorchy Collieries (United National), Treorchy, on Saturday and Monday last owing to shortage of trucks. About 1,800 men were affected. Mr David Cennamo, Bute Street, Treorchy, who in pre-war days pro- vided the Treorchy R.F .C. with Pepsins each Saturday, is continuing the same this season free of charge. Needless to say, the gifts are highly appreciated by the players. A FRIEND OF CARADOG. Among the few surviving intimate friends of the great Caradog, whose memory is to be perpetuated in the form of a statue, none has more in- teresting reminiscences relative to the Welsh conductor's career than Mr Samuel Thomas, Dumfries St., Treorchy. Mr Thomas attended the concerts which were held in the "long room" of the Treorchy Hotel, of which Caradog was licensee, and can tell most amusing stories of Car- adog as an entertainer. According to Mr Thomas, Caradog took the in- habitants by storm when he invent- ed, as a blacksmith, a mysterious key with which he was able to imi- tate the sound of every denizen of the farmyard. It was interesting to note that Mr Thomas himself is a musician despite the fact that all the education he received was that pro- vided at a national school back in the distant past when parents paid 2d. per week for the coaching of their children in elementary learn- ing. Mr Thomas has composed many hymn tunes and has won numerous prizes from time to time. The first was "0 nior hawddgar ydyw'r Iesu," a children's tune, composed in the Abergorchy Collieries and written out in the rough on a curling box." Mr Thomas also sang and performed cantatas with Caradog and conducted the congregation at Bethania and Ramah Welsh Congregational Churches, Treorchy, for 40 years. JUBILEE SERYICE AT TRE- ORCHY.

Eventually the cause expanded and a more commodious edifice had to be secured and the pre- sent church was erected. The church to-day is one of the larerest in South Wales with a. membership of G20 and is a living force in the district. Dur- ing the previous year over £1,OOn was raised by the members towards Oi. the church fund. Tre treasurer of the church is Mr Abraham Hees.
