When near the corner of Travis-street she met the defendant, who had been to the station. Defendant stopped and called her bad names. Complainant asked her what she ment by calling her names, and Mrs. Griffiths struck her on the body with her fist. Complainant pushed the defendant who was so drunk that she fell down. The complainant ran towards a policeman who was twenty yards away, and the defendant ran home to her house near and fetched a bottle with which to strike complainant.

He said he would not give it to them unless they went before the captain of the Claudius with him. They refused to do so, and he sent for a policeman standing near, who arrested them.—Police-constable S. Davies proved the arrest, and the magistrates decided to adjourn the case to the Barry Dock Police Court for the attendance of the captain of the Claudius, Mr. Rumble, to have his evidence taken on the matter.

He asked the magistrates to deal as lightly as possible with the defendants.—For the de- fence, Burlie said the girl Morgan asked him to take a load of wood into the house for her, and he did so thinking it belonged to her. Morgan said this was true, and pleaded guilty to the theft on her own part.-The Bench dismissed the case against Burlie, and fined Annie Morgan 10s. and costs, or five days' imprisonment.
