P.C. Mahoney said that he arrested prisoner in Commercial-street, Maesteg, on Tuesday, and took him to the Police-station. In answer to the charge, he said, "1 went to the door with the intention of asking for some food. I knocked at the door, and', getting no an- swer, I opened it and walked in.

Temperance Meeting.—A meeting was held at St. Cynfelin's Church Vestry on Monday evening in connection with the Church of England Temperance Society. The Rev. R. Davies presided over a good attendance. The Chairman read a paper on "The influence of drink." He dealt with the subject in a lucid manner under four headings: (1) The in- fluence on the child (2) on the parent; (3) on the church; and (4) the country. In order to get a sober country they must work hard, he said, to get the children and youths. to recognise the value of temperanoe prin- ciples, and no parish should be without a temperance organisation of some kind. The greatest enemy England had to fear was the drink traffic, and it was a grave matter that £ 140,000,000 was spent in drink during the year 1904. No less than 140,000 persons were charged and summoned at the Police- courts of London, and 70 per cent. of the cases were traceable to drink. It was cal- culated that 70 per cent. of the poverty and; 50 per cent. of the insanity of the country was due to intemperance. He advocated the v non-employment of females in public-houses. Among other speakers were Messrs Taliesin Thomas, T. Hunt, Arthur Woody, Frank Stentiford, H. Harding, 0. Tobias, and J. Darnley. A vote of thanks was accorded to the chairman.
