Owner and Tenant. ¡, I INTERESTING ACTION AT THE I COUNTY COURT. At the County Court yesterday, Wm. Jones and Sarah Jones of Marble Hall road, applied for the recovery of posses- road, applied for the recovery of a house in the possession of Trefor Lewis. Mr. F. N. Powell appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Mervyn Paton for the defendant. The plaintiff stated he had bought the house for his own occupation. The de- 'j fendant was a monthly tenant and paid 10s. per week. A notice to quit had been I served. Cross-examined: He now lived in Marble Hall road in his nephew's house, pnd had been there for 12 months. There was not sufficient room in the house now. He could not prove that the summons had been served on the defendant. Ernest Davies said he served the notice to quit. In answer to Mr. Paton, witne&S stated that the plaintiff had tried to raise the rent. Mr. Paton stated that the case came before His Honour at the last court when he objected to the service of the sum- mons, and a successive summons was ordered to be issued. He took the same objection to the service of the successive summons, which was served Ion the de- fendant. It was for the plaintiff to prove that the summons had come to defend- ants' notice. The plaintiff had en- j deavoured to raise the rent of the house, Defendant was a soldier fighting in | France, with a wife and four children, and it seemed as though these proceedings were the result of the failure to raise the rent. Mr. Powell said he wanted to know why Mr. Paton appeared for the defend- ant who could not have instructed him if the defendant did not know of the I summons. Mr. Paton replied that he was instruct- ¡ ed by the wife to appear for the de- fendant, whereupon Mr. Powell said Mr. II Paton had no right to appear, but' Mr. Paton rejoined that if it was not for in- tervention,on defendant's behalf the wife and children would have been thrown out j of the housfe neck and crop. His Honour ruled that Mr. Paton had a perfect right to appear. His Honour said he thought the sum- mons must' have come to defendants' notice, and gave judgment for plaintiff. Mr. Paton asked for a, liberal period to enable the wife to procure another house, and also asked for the costs of the first hearing. His Honour gave the defendant two months and also the costs of the fit. hearine..and the plaintiff the costs of the second hearing.

Local Firm Sued. -I
Local Firm Sued. I ERECTION OF A PIT-HEAD FRAME. J. Jones, foreman erecter, Swansea, sued Evan Davies and Co. Ltd., at the Llanelly County Court on Friday for JEoo. Mr. Meager appeared for the plaintiffs and Mr. Leslie Williams defended. Plaintiff said he had an interview with j the defendants in June, 1916, regarding ¡ the erection of a pit-head frame. Before giving any price he examined the detailed drawings and went down to the colliery to see the ironwork which was about 400 yards from the spot where he had to erect it. There were from 100 to 120 ¡ pieces of iron, and holes had been driven in some of them for the purpose of mak- ing the structure secure. Besides him- self seven men were engaged on the job. After receiving the drawings he spoke to Mr. Evan Jones, a director, who promised him help to get the material on to the site but when this was àSked for he wAS t-old the Company had no men available. Along with his men witness therefore loaded and discharged the material, and this was included in his charges. After starting the erection he found that the fittings were all wrong, and he spoke to Mr. Jones upon the matter as it involved a considerable amount of extra labour. Mr. Jones told him to proceed, and that .he would be recompensed. More misfits, were discovered, and as the defendants refused to pay the wages claimed he de- clined to complete the job.' He had told Mr. Jones it would be impossible to make a good job of it. Mr. Meager: What have you actually paid in wages to your men ? Witness: L81 14s. lid. In addition, I believe you paid their insurance and railway fares, and also the carriage oil your gear and tackle amount- ing to L9 13s. Id. ?—Yes. Supposing the ironwork and steelwork had been alright how long trould it have taken you to complete the contract ?-I j had promised to be off the ground in a month. :j And how much profit would you have made ?-I should have made from £ 12 to £ 15 on the use of my own gear and tackle and also my wages, JE22 10s. Witness said he had been paid £ 89 10s. j and the balance owing was 255. The case was adjeurned.
Profiteering & PreferenceI
Profiteering & Preference I To the Editor of the "Star." Sir, I We hear a great deal these days about queues, profiteering, and preference. Un- fortunately, it is not necessary to go out- side Llanelly to find examples of all of them. As long as margarine and other food stuffs are sold in only one shop, it is hopeless to expect the queues to disappear. I The people, of course,, will flock to this one favoured place. Why is not a re- striction placed on shops: like the Maypole as with other retailers. The Maypole are manufacturers as well as retailers, and they should be made to distribute among others, after retaining a certain quantity for their own customers. Let us have a share of the golden plums. In my own case, I have had no butter or margarine in the shop for eleven weeks I and our customers cannot understand how [ it is that we are left with none. The I reason is, of course, tlia'E there is not a fair distribution of all goods. If the available food was distributed, in how- ever small quantities, each retailer could supply his own sugar card customers; the I one ticket would do for other articles of food. This would stop people gathering in queues at one or two shops. Then as regards profiteering, a short time ago there was no paraffin oil in the I town except at one ironmonger's shop. The price at the time was 7d. per quart, but in this shop 8d. was charged, and I ¡ was told by one of the assistants that I they were doing a roaring trade with it. The other day I was fineil for selling a loaf of bread a few minutes after time to a munition worker. How is it that those who charge excessive prices are not pro- ceeded against. Again, with regard to preference. This week one of my lady customers went to one of the multiple shops for some cheese as I had none to sell her. Although they had a supply, they refused to sell to her because she had not placed her sugar ticket with them. No, I had it, and T wish I had the cheese as well. I hope the points I have raised will attract the at- tention of our Food Committee. I am, etc., Church street, Church street, W. J. CARPENTER. 1 3.1anelly.. j
Theft of a Bicycle.

At the defendant's request he took the machine to the last witness' house and received 4s. for it. Det.-Sergt. if. Davies said that on December 10th the bicycle was brbught to the Police Station by Edward Michael, and at 7.30 p.m. the same day witness charged the defendant with the offence. The boy replied: "A boy gave me the bicycle to ride to the slaughterhouse to call another boy. I did not go there, but I went for a spin to Burry Port ami I afterwards scld the bicycle to Edjrard Michael for 4s." Mrs. Evans said this was the first charge against any of her children. Tfiree of her sons were on active service—two in France and one in Egypt, while her husband had not worked for months owing to illness.
