Mr Justice Ridley, in charging the grand jury, said the county was to bo congratulated npoii the fact that there were only three cases in the calendar, but it was to be regretted that the three prisoners were charged with offences against women and children. The Grand Jury returned true bills against the three prisoners. Trials of Prisoners. Abergavenny \\idow Assaulted. David Probert (33), labourer, pleaded not guilty to a charge of outraging Uebecca. Bevan. widow, 50 years of age. Mr Corner prosecuted, and the puaonervvas undefended.

Prosecutrix lived alone in a cottage some dis- tance from any other house, and upon two occa- sions she did washing for the prisoner. On the evening of March lrit prisoner called at the bonee. for his washing and remaiued for some time. Whilst prosecutrix was taking tsaprisoner seized her and threw her to the floor she struggled, and cried murder and managed to get up, but prisoner again threw her down and brutally assaulted her.

HISTORY OF THE HAVANNAH SHIP. There has just been published by the Western Mail," Limited, a history "of the H.M S Havannah, which has now for many years past in Cardiff been the habitation of an Industrial School. The old ship was built in 1811, and the author of the booklet in question, which by the way is published at the price of Is, gives a most comprehensive and interesting history of the old frigate. The author, Commander F. M. Norman, R N., is an old officer of the Rhip, and he writes about it partly out of affection for my old bhip, which is one of tbe very few existing links to the wooden walls of old England, and partly because I believe that (latdiff Deopleand those of adjacent parts will be iniere.-itea in knojyjng more about bar than they could have known before." The history begins with the launch of the old frigate at Liverpool, and then follows an account of her service daring the French and Atnerican ware. After which a reel tal of her experience on the Australian and Pacific stations leads up to the year 1860, when she first came to Cardiff. j

MESSAGES FROM WELSH MEMBERS.

MESSAGES FROM WELSH MEMBERS. Mr Lioyd George's Views. North Wales members are giving their con- stitueuciea a splendid lead in the County Council elections now in progress. Mr Ellis Jones Griffith, M.P., paraphrasing a famous phrase of the ex Colonial Secretary invites his countrymen to think not imperially, hut nationally." This is excellent advice, for in this education struggle Wales has a national policy at stake, and it promotes it for no selfish ends TtJe success of that policy at the polls will be hailed with delight by Free Churchmen and Progressives through- out the kingdom for it will inevitably hasten the settlement of the vexed question now at issue, and thereby promote the true efficiency of all the schools. Let Welshmen therefore in this matter think "uatiouaJJy," and the kingdom will j benefit. Sonth Wales Progressives mav take heart from recent events in Carnarvonshire. There the plan of campaign— of opposing the return of j every candidate who does not pledge himself to the policy of no rate aid without popular con- trol -is being tigorousiy applied In the result | several Church and Tory members have signified their acceptance ol tb's policy, and consequently j they will not be opposed by the Progressives, Indeed, the old party lines have in many j instances disappeared and where Conservative candidates are threatened with opposition by the Church party because of their adnesion to the nationa policy the Progressives are rushing to their aid On this point the following \ery iro- \,oi' message has been received by the Rev. Ellis James Jones, chairman of the Carnarvon Progressives, from Mr Lloyd 'ieorgo, M.P. — Mr dear Mr James Jones,—I congratulate you and the Free CLiurchmen of Carnarvon I upon the splendid success which has ensued from the determined way in which they have conductor! the educational light. We had to make it clear that the contest was in no sense a party one, and that Free Churchmen sup- ported no man because he was a Liberal and a Nonconformist, and opposed no mau merely be •iuse he was a Churchman and a Tory in this Btruggle. It is one of the greatest lights for civil and religious liberty and equality in the history of our conntrv, and Carnarvonshire Free Churchmen, not mereiy by their courage and zeal, but by the wisdom and restraint which they displayed under very trying circum- stances, have gained the gratitude of Welsh- men and of the friends of freedom of every Jand. Seeing that we had an overwhelming majority on the Carnarvonshire County Coun- cil, it was better for us to secure the adhesion of the small remnant of Tories on the Council to our poiicy than even to substitute Liberals for them. Ihere are on the County Councils of South VVales and Monmouthshire many moderate Churchmen who ba\6 110 sympathy with those provisions of the Education Act against which the Progressives are pledged to light and to give no quarter. If therefore their adhesion to the national policy can be secured, as has been done in Carnarvonshire, there ia no reason why their re- eloction should be challenged.

GLAMORGANSHIRE. Nominations—Monday, February 29th. Polling—Monday, March 7th, Even in Democratic Glamorganshire there are a few districts lagging wolally behind. It is regrettable to liud that in the Llansamlet division —now represented by a Conservative-the Liberals h beea caught uappmp;, and several correspondents write us bitterly romplaining of the apparent indifference of the Free Church Council in that district Mr Jordan, who is a Liberal Churchman, will probably be re-elected to an aidermanic seat, and the Progressives must bestir themselves in view of the bye-election that must follc.v. "If the Free Church Council," declarss one correspondent, have not the courage to act let them resign." Better news j comes from Aberavon aad Port Talbot, where the County Council ejections are creating more j interest and excitement than has been witnessed since the Local Government Act came into force in 1883. Tho retiring members-Colenel D, R. David, for Margam, and Councillor J. Morgan Smith, for Aberavon—both of whom are Conser- vatives, are opposed bv sturdy Liberals in the per- sons of Mr Evans, LL.B., for Margam. and Councillor F. R. Smith for the ancient boroughs. | bean interesting tight, for tho sitting members are strong and popular. Councillor J. Morgan Smith has occupied the EBa unin- terruptedly since 1889, and Colonel David, aa au employer of labour, e:certs great influence. All the more reason, therefore, why in both wards the Progressives should light with a will and a grim determination. Meetings are held nightly by both sides, and excitement is high. It would teem, however, that at last these two thorough-going Rndical districts are to Wipe 08 the stiiin of being represented by two Conserva- tives. Dr. R. T. Williams, Gwynbryn, Cwraavon, has entered the lists against Mr Herbert Evans, J.P., fdr the Cw-hmvon division. The doctoris 'an ardent Liberal, and, like Mr Evans, is a Cal- i vfcbtic Methodiat. ? f- At Barry--Alderman J. C. Meggitt's retire- meat after ft period of 15 years' faithful seivice is generally regretted. The Rav. D. H. Wit- haUls, M.A., Welsh Congregationalist minister, who has bad experience on theCarnaivon County Council, ia the Unsectarian candidate, and ia opposed by a local Conservative in 1\le F. P. Jones Lloyd, solicitor. At Cadoxton Dr. P. J. O'Donnell, who is a Roman Catholic, is opposed by Mr Gwyu Morris, of the South Wales Circuit, I who was clerk to the Jate School Board. In the Vale of Glamorgan constituencies I there appears every prospect that Mr Oliver Jones (Fonmon Castle) will be unopposed, this being probably due to the fact tbat there is no central organisation among tha Unsectarians, of I whom there are a large number in the vil- lages of Dinas Powis and Llancarvan. Fur- I ther down the ale, in the Cowbridge division, Mr W. T. David, of Pendovlan, is fighting as a direct representative of the tenant farmers, and as a farmer's son, highly lespected aud equally well-known among agricultural classes generally, he can clearly prove that there are many interests which it is well to safeguard on the county body. Colonel noaifray, a landowner, is the opposing candidate, and Colonel Wyndhatu-Quin, M.P., has been rendering him assistance. Mr Evan Thomas, Pontlottyn, miners' agent, has been chosen as the Free Cnurch Council can- didate to contest the Burgoed Ward of the Gelli- gaer Parish, in opposition to Mr D. b. Jones. In tho itfertbyr district the Education Act Reform Association, of which the Rev. John Thomas is chairman, submit two pertinent ques tions to the candidates (11 Whether they are pre- pared to pat in operation the Welsh policy of refusing rate aid to Voluntary schools, and (2), whether they will go in for the nbolitiou or religions tests in the appointment of teachers. The Trades Council'* programms also embraces those points. In the town division Mr D. W. Jones, the outgo) ug member, has answered the crucial questions satisfactorily, and he is not to be opposed by any Progressive candidate. In Merthyr Vale division it does not seem certain whottier Mr Thomas Williams or Alderman Vd. Prosser, the nericd of whose aldermanship now expires, will come forward. In Gellifaelog Mr John Evans Iscoed, retires because of ill health. The Rev. J. D. Hughes (Moriah) is now spoken of as the new candidate. Mr Nortpan F. Hankey, the retiring candidate for Plymouth division, some time ago expressed himself strongly in favour of tho proposed concordat of Mr Lloyd George. This, however, is not now before the public, and it is a question whether the pro- nouncement of tbe retiring member will satisfy the reqnirements of the Progressive party, A. Labour candidate has been found for the Ply- mouth division of Merthyr in the person of Mr C. B. Jones, checkweigber of the No. 1 south pit. Mr Jones has tbe support of the Plymouth Colliery workmen. Nothing further Beems to have been heard of Mr E. P. Mar- tin's views of the questions propounded by the Mertbyr Education Act Refoim Association. It is believed that be contemplates retiring from the representation of the Caehams divioion, now that be has removed to Aber- j gavenny, and that his brother, Mr H. W. Martin, will presently offer himself as a candidate tn- stead. Mr George Sibberine Jones, who has rendered good service as chairman and member of the Porthcawl U D.C is the nominee of the Pro- gressives for the Ogmore Valley Ward. ) A very pretty little fight quite the most interesting in the county -is proceeding in the Kibbor division, comprising Whitchurch, Radyr, Llanisheu, Rudry, Llanfedw, Llanedeyrn, Lis vane, Van, and Rhydygworn. Here. ever since the County Council was formed, the seat has been uninterruptedly occupied by the penial squire of Greenu;eadow, Colonel Henry Lewis. Only on one occasion during that period of 16 years has hig re-election been challenged. This time, however, the gallant colonel is not to have a quiet walk over. The Progressives, who are re- solved to take their share in the national move meut, have found an excellent candidate in Mr Eli Rees, The Elms, Whitchurch, a, thorough Progressive, who enjoys the confidence and support of the Liberal, Labour, a.nd Free Church organisations. A past master of tactics, the sitting member has refrained from issuing RII election addsess, and it is quite amusing to watch so stalwart a Tory posing as a colourless independent. But Mr Eli Rees has an p-hill fight, and if be is to win every Progressive in the division must get to work at once. Jn the Ogmore Valley division the retiring member, Dr. D. J. Thomas is standing aside for the moment so as to secure the return of an equally acceptable Progressive in the person of Alderman W. Llewellyn, J.P. His re election as alderman is pretty certain, and m the ensuing by-election Dr. Thomas will again champion the good old cause. Mr G. Sibbering Jones, the champion of the national policy, is making excellent headway in tbe Ogmore division (Porth- cawl district)—a division which is as large in area. as ma.ny a Parliamentary constituency. So far there is no manifest expression of ex- ceptional interest in the elections in the Swan- sea district. Much will depend on the attitude of tbe Church party, a.nd as yet that has not been revealed. In the various centres meetings of parishioners being convened for the purpose of selecting candidate", and there is reason to believe that if and when tbe tnnecomea there wilj be plenty of activity. It is to be hoped, however, the electors will no allow themselves to ba lulled into an attitude of false security. To prevent aoch a possibility it be well for tbe Liberals to be up and no: and prepared-for all contingencies. As predicted, Mr E. P. Martin is withdrawing I from the representation of the Caeharria Ward, Dowtais.and Mr H. W. Martin, J.P., his brother, has consented to take his place.

RADNORSHIRE. Nominations-Monday, bebmar/ 29th, Polling-Tuesday, March 8th. Jt is a cnrious reflection that the Spa. of Walas —the holiday ground of the Cymrv from all t>be £ coupes, the land of Rilsbv. the rendezvous of \\elsh National reformers—should yet have oeen the county m which hitherto the greatest hos- tility to the Welsh education policy baa been encountered.

To the patriotic Cymry who still reside in Radnorshire, no fact is more unpalatable than tllig, atid happily they have now roused themselves in time to prevent an event which can be no less unpalatable—the still further defection of Radnorshiie from tbe national canse. How very far behind its sister counties Radnor has hitherto been is disclosed in the following analysis of tbepolitical complexion of the County Council now expiring Aldermen. C'cillors. T'tl.

This will give the Progressives the power necessary to enable them to fill with their own nominees the four seats I now occupied by Conservative aldermen whose term of office expires. The task is a formidable one, but it really looks as if it is going to DO accomplished, for the county is seething from end to end with discontent at theunfricndly atti- tude of the expiring Council towards the Welsh national policy, with the result that, with one exception, there promises to be a fight in every division now represented by a sectarian. The exception is the seat held by Sir Powlett C. J. Milbank, Bart. Mr Richard Rogers (I.J., Pres- teign) and Mr J. R. Bache (L.. Knighton) are also likely to have a walk over. Unfortunately, however triumphant the Pro- gressives may bo at the polls, the county cannot at once be brought into line with Wales on the gretit question of the day. Foreseeing the possibility of a defeat on an ap- peal to the constituencies, tho Tory ma- jority on the Council, on tbe principle of making hay during sunshine, so framed the education scheme as tomaiie a sectarian majority on the Education Committee practically assured until 1907 This was done by prolonging until that year tho term of office of the co-opted mem- bers-.n. very smart and intrenious piece of work which may yet be out-manwuvred.

MONMOUTHSHIRE. Nominations-February 29th. PolliDg- March 7tb. The Monmouthshire Progressives, conscious of their strength, do not appear to be putting forth any special exertions. Is this wise 'I At present, the fibemis on th, Council can alwavs count upon 43 votes, as against the 25 of the Tories, and this majority of 13 is sufficiently over- whelming for all practical purposes. But there is one fact that must not be overlooked viz., the position of Liberal representatives who now sit on the Council as representatives of areas which, under the Education Act, are autonomous. There are eight such representatives from Ebbw Vale and Abertillery, and Tredeear's growth is so raDid that it, too, must shortly become educa- tionally autonomous Should the pcsition of the autonomous-area members on the county autho- rity be in any way weakened -as, for instance, would be the case if the non-autonomous areas members carried the Council to a resolution re- ducing the number of members for autonomous areas on the Education Committee—the Pro- gressive majority tor educatiou pmposes would be in danger of serious diminution. Judging from the large number of Conservatives who I are likely to be returned there is reason to fear that the Progressives have not fally realised the positioni The present position of parties on the Council I is as follows Aldermen. O cillors, T'tl Liberals 13 30 43 Conservatives 4 21 25 Colonel Morgan at St. Nrallotis, Colonel Curre at Neweburch, Mr T. Parry at Caerleon, Mr H. H Clay at Chepstow, Mr A. G. B.

At Panteg Mr J. H. Thomas (L.) ia men- tioned as a candidate against Me Isaac Butler (C.), who now holds the seat; and Major D. E. Williams (0.) opposes Councillor John Jenkins (L.) 10 Panteg Ward. The attitnde of Mr S. C.

Meetio bave been held in the three wards of Abersycban. for the selection of candidates, with the resuilt- that Councillor W. P. James was unanimously selected as nominee for the Abersychan North I Wajsl. Mr Arthur.Jones and Mr James Winstone, miners, a vent, were the nominees placed before the meeting in Abersychan Central, Mr Jones receiving tbe majority of votes of those present. In Abeisycban South, the namss of Mr B. Nicholas, managing director of tbe Tirpentwys Colliery, and Mr Thomas Morgan, checkweigber, were submitted to a meeting, and Mr Nicholas received the majority of votes. Whether the iUabournominees will proceed totbe poll is as yet a matter of conjecture. It is imperative that a modus vivendi will be found to obviate-the necessity of a contest. An attempt in thi.s direction was made at a joint conference of the Free Church Council (Eastern Valleys), Liberal Association, and Labour party at Pontypool on Monday evening. Differences bad arisen respecting the manifesto issued recently by the Labour wing to the Pro- gressive candidates for the March elections. Certain nominees of the Free Church Council and Liberal party had taken exception to some of the clauses of the manifesto, and Mr Jaaes Winstone,on behalf of the miners,bad threatened to dissolve partnership if candidates were allowed to deviate from the pledge given by the joint conference to promote all the clauses in tbe manifesto. Rev. J. Rees (secretary of tho Eastern Valleys Free Church Council) moved That the piodge be taken from each candidate in so far as it related to tb. office which be was desirous of holding and that unless sncb terms be given his candidature be repudiated." The Labour element spoke strongly against compro- mising matters in this way, and ultimately it was resolved, to re-afti > the resolution adopted by the joint confe^-UL-e in favour of candidates accepting the whole of the manifesto Councillor, W. H. Hughes (secretary of the Welsh National Liberal Council), who wtts present, made some timely lemarks as to the necessity of unity in the ranks, Of the four Tredegar divisions contests k're j probable in two and it is regrettable to note that unless a spirit of sweet reasonableness prevails the Progressive vote in botli,easss is in danger of | being split. Mr Tom Price, the sitting member for the Central Ward, for some reason or other, declined to place himself unreservedly in the hands of the ward Liberal Association, and con- sequentiy tbat body has nominated M.r D. John Vaugtia.li to oppose his re-election. Again, in the iSirhowy Ward, a similar state of affairs pro- vails, the t-itting member, Mr I'. Lewis, being opposed by Mr J. Meyrick Jone." another Pro- gressive. Mr D. Hughes and Mr A. Onions. miners' agent, are likely to have a walk-over in the Georgetown and West Wards respectively. In the Rhymnsy district there is so far no opponent to Dr. T. Hall Redwood, who has held II the scat for nine years, and who is a hearty eup- porter of the Welsh national policy. In the lower district of Rbymney, Mr D. W. Evans will have to fight foe his seat. So far be has not publicly disclosed his views on the Education policy, but now that Mr J. Edwards has coasented to oppose his re-election he cannot longer remain silent. NU interestin,, fight is promised in the Llan- vibangei Crucoinev Division, where Mr Barnaby, the present sectarian member, has again to meet the opposition of Mr VY. Whitney, of Grosmont. At the last election Mr Whitney was defeated only by a majority of 13 votes, but in view of tho present education revolt his success should be assured.

CARDIGANSHIRE. Nominations, Friday, February 26tb. Polling, Saturday, March 5th. Cardiganshire is so strongly Piogressive, not to say extremely Radical, that there is scarcely any opportunity felt for it at the pending elec- tions to make any "further practical demonstra- tion of its thorough agreement with the Welsh national oolicy, Tbe expiring County Council is composed of 64 members, whose political com- plexion is thus described Liberals 50 Conservatives 14 Progressive majority 36 "'t. .1 I ■una, wim iud vast majority ot the seats already I in tha bands of tho Progressives, tbe number of j contests that must ensue will largely depend I upon tbe few sectarians who are scattered here | and there throughout the county. The helpless- ness of thesectarian party is sufficiently indicated by the fact chat a meeting of Conservatives to consider the position is summoned for next Saturday at Aberystwyth—just one day too lato for the adoption of any effective action, for tbe nominations will be closed the previous day. In the Abervstwvth division all the seats, with one exception, are held by Progressives, and no con- t tests are here contsmplated. In Cardigan dis- trict, too, all is quiet, but there is rumDur of a conflict in the Blaenportb and Llandvgwydd parishes, where two Progressives are aspiring for one and the eame seat. Cardiganshire, like Cardiff. Swansea, New- port, and Mertbyr, has not, yet put the Educa- tion Act in force, and iij tbat respect it occupies a unique position tttriona the counties of South Wales. A draft scheme has, however, now been! forwarded by the County Council to the Board of Education, and conies of it are being circulated.

Fears were entertained duriug the night that the huge waves which swept clean over the ship would cause her to break up, and the lifeboat again stood by in readiness to rescue the 50 men who remained on board. When daylight broke it was found that the vessel had been driven to within 400 yatds of the shore. wheie she now lies in 30ft. of water, deeply embedded In the sand. Monday evening a change ia the wind made the prospect more hope- ful, and it was expected that divers would be able to descend during the night to ascertain, the damage done to the ship below the water-line. This is believed to be serious owing to i the rapidity with which the water entered, and it is feared that the continuous bumping and grindit)g caused by the heavy seas will have materially added to the damage. A supply of water was successfully got on board on Monday for the 450 head of cattle. This was the first drink tbe beasts bad been given for two days. The Board of Trade is stated to have placed difficulties in the way of the proposal to swim tho animals ashore, and an effort is to be made to transfer them to another steamer when the sea moderates. .„,

The statement sub- mitted on behalf of bis firm showed a. deficiency I of JE1,304 ou gross liabilities of -16 320. Mr W. P. Roberta's statement showed liabilities amounting to .2,911. and a deficiency of £652. The debtor Jones replied to all questions alertly, and with such candooy that the Official Receiver appeared quite satisfied that he was not concealing anything. He admitted that tha books of tho firm had not been balanced for years, but maintained that it was his partner's work. He had lost several thousand pounds on the Stock Exchange He could give absolutely no explanation as to an item of Y,5W received by him and not accounted for in any books. Nothing of general interest was elicited during the whole of the six hours' examination, which was ultimately adjourned for a month.

In reply,- Mr Long said they trusted to alter the condilion ot things whereby the life of the tramp,apart from its freedom, possessed physical and material attractions. He feared to commit himself to an inquiry without some idea as to the direction the remedy, should take He admitted, however, that tho case for inquiry was so strong as not- to be resisted He thought the inquiry should be conducted jointly by the Local Govern- ment Poilrd and the Home Office. He would at once consult the H.o»e Secretary and inform-tbe deputation of the joint decision. Speaking later at a poor law conference Mr Long, referring to the work done for pnuper children on theExmouth training ship, expressed the h.,)e that -Boar(.is of Guardians throughout the country would take further advantage of the Ex- nonth, and that abe would soon cease to be the only ship of ber kind.

LOST HUSBAND FOUND. Strange Sequel to a County Court Comm'tment At Swansea County Court on Tuesday-before .Judge Gwilym Williams i, transpired that at a iormer sitting the Swansea Finance Company h id obtained. committal order against Mm Jane Smith, loJging bouse keeper, of liere- ford, on a judguient summons. At tho set court, however, defendant reeved to eet aside the decision on the ground that she was a married woman, and a committal crder could not be made against her. At the former hearing, it appeared deJf-.nilant was unable to atrictly prove that bet husband was alive when- she got the money from the plaintiffs. Slip now said that since the last hearing she bad discovered her husband at Llangarron, near Ross. She ad- mitted in crosi examination that she had tokl plaintiff" he liati no husband, and said the rea- son wss that they had been living apart for vears, aud she did not know whether he war dead or alive. She was now agreeably surprised to iind be was alive. She saw bim on the 17tb inst.. but did not speak to hicf. Mrs Hills, of Hereford, gave corroborates evidence, after which Mr Wilson, for the plain. tiffs, agreed there was no doubt the hnsband WM alive, but having regard to the whole circnm stances he asked that no coats should be allowed, The Judn'e thereupon annulled the committal order, and made no order for costs on eitbei side.

At a meeting of the Carmarthen Liberal Unionist Association it was annoullced that the seat at present held by the Rev. A, Fuller Mills, English Baptist minister, for one of the Carmar- then wards, would be contested by Mr David Davies, of Boksburg Hall. This gentleman was at one time a member of Mr Mills's congrega- tion. Tho announcement has caused no little surprise, and tbe contest will be a keen one. So far no one has declared his intention of opposing 1 rofessor Jones, and it is generally believed that he will be returned unopposed. There ivill be contest in the other three divisions of the borough. It is understood that almost on the eve of the poll the Liberal Unionists will bringdown a prominent politician from Cardiff to advocate the claims of the supporters of the non-provided schools. At Llanybyther two Liberal candidates arc in tbe lielcl for tbe seat vacated b? Mr J- Rees. Dolgwm.
