BARRY AND CADOXTON LOCAL BOARD.
BARRY AND CADOXTON LOCAL BOARD. 9 THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. A monthly meeting of the Health Committee -was held on Friday evening at the Local Board Offices. Dr. O'Donnell presided, and there were present Mr. J. Robinson, Mr. W. Thomas (Barry), 31r. Benjamin Lewis, Inspector Leyshon. Mr. Pardoe (surveyor). Dr. Neale (medical oJiloer), and Mr. J. A. Hughes (clerk). MEDICAL OFFICEIÙ, REPORT. The Medical Officer presented his report, whieh stated that he had written to Dr. Walford. medical officer of health for Cardiff, with respect to the removal of any cases of cholera (which might possibly occur in the Barry Roads) to the in- fectious diseases hospital on the Flat Holmes. Dr. Walford advised that Mr. J. A. Hughes. the clerk should communicate with Mr. Wheatley. the town clerk of Cardiff. The Town Council of Cardiff would not be holding any meetings for three weeks, owing to officials and members hav- ing holidays. Mr. Hughes was requested to write to the town clerk of Cardiff with rega.rd to the ■matter.—During the month of July 60 birtiis were recorded-29 males and 31 females, making a birth- rate of 53'4 per thousand. Ten deaths won~' re- ported in the same month, making a death-rate of 8-9 per thousand. The deaths from the seven chief zymotic diseases were as follows :—Tiiree from scarlet fever, and one from whooping cough death rate. 3'5 per thousand. The notification of infectious diseases were :—Scarlet fever, 16 mem- braneous croup, one erysipelas, one total. IS. The public analyst had analysed samples of -water from two wells in the district. Both were moderately fit for drinking purposes. The^e were the only two wells left in the district.—Dr. Neale said he should like to men- tion the condition of the old roads at Weston Hill and the other opposite the Barry Dock below the old Holton Farm. The two places were used as urinals, and smelt most abominably.—A discus- -sion took place as to the ownership of the roads which eliminated the fact that they belonged to the Wenvoe Estate.—Dr. O'Donnell said that the best thino-they could do was to communicate with Mr Forrest. the agent of the estate, and say that the Board would be willing to remove the fence in question._Mr. Lewis was of opinion that they .should call upon the owners to abate the nuisance. -Dr. O'Donnell said they could do it.—The Clerk said they ought to have fenced the place off when the roads were made. THE BATHIXG XINSANCE. The report of the Sub-inspector, who had been instructed to report on the matter of the bathing nuisance at Barry Island, stated that he had visited Whitmore Bay on the Barry Island on the 6th,' 13tb and 20th inst. On the 6th he saw 20 men and bovs without bathing drawers on the east side of Whitmore Bay, and there were 50 more with bathin"- drawers. He warned those who had no bathing drawers and cook the names. On the 13th lie saw"twelve men and boys without drawers. On the" 20th inst. he again visited the place, and 209 boys and men were bathing without drawers. Betwean 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. the scene was most disgraceful. He asked them for their names, which most of them refused to gi ve.-Dr. O'Donnell suggested that the Clerk write to those whose aiames had been taken and warn them that on the next breach of the bye-laws they would be prose- cuted. He considered it was a great mistake that their inspector should be sent to do police duties. He was powerless, as he could not make any arrests, but only present reports, which were quite useless. If the police were stationed there, as he thought they ought to be, they could make -arrests.—Mr. Lewis suggested that a printed copy of the bye-laws be set up—The Chairman said they had i copy of the bye-laws near the refreshment- rooms. He should propose that a large board with a. blazed front be placed on the beach. He thought they should withdraw the inspector, and ask the police authorities to station a constable there. It was the duty of the police, and if they were asked they would do it,—Mr. Lewis thought the police should visit the place, and that would have a good effect.—Dr. O'Donnell said the con- duct on°the heach was disgraceful. He proposed that they recommend the Board to withdraw their inspector, and that they should communicate with the police and point out the necessity of having a constable stationed on the beach on holidays. In view of the outbreak of cholera abroad, their inspectors would have plenty to do.—Mr. n. Lewis ■seconded.—Mr. Robinson thought one constable would not be of much use when such a large number of men came there. — Dr. O'Donnell reiteratcc1 his opinion that a copy of the bve-laws be placed on the beach, requesting all people to -wear bathing drawers, and stating the different places for bathing for the different se^es. THE INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES' REPORT. The report of Inspector Leyshon was read. The following is the result of the house to house in- -soection during the month :— Houses Inspected. Defects, ^ewland-strect 56 42 Richard-street 46 40 Evans-street 4G 46 Spencer-street 8 8 Irwin-street ? 8 Roberts-street 32 17 Burlington-street 39 21 Nuisances inspected, 162; notices served, 162 complied with 40. The scavenging- had been done -satisfactorily during the month. There had been three applications for registration under the Milk- shops and Dairies' Act. He had examined the premises, and found them in a good condition. He bad also examined several shops used for the sale of provisions, and found them clean. There had been 123 extra visits made to infected houses, and 12 houses had been disinfected. lie had visited 26 vessels and found five defects, and notices had been served. DEAD STOCK A CHANGE. The Chairman asked whether there had been any more dead horses ?—Inspector Leyshon said it was dead sheep now. Some of them wore in ,empty houses.—The Medical Officer said ib was rather suspicious—two dead sheep in one day.- Mr. Thomas said the sheep would go anywhere in the" hot weather, and no doubt that they found their way into the houses.—Inspector Leyshon .said he had been obliged to order Mr. Ruckley to bury the sheep found on the Holton-road, as it -smelt abominably. There was another dead sheep in Daniel-street.—The Chairman asked whose duty it was to see that cattle did not stray on the roads. -The Inspector said that the horses and sheep did stray on the roads, which were saturated with filth. THE GRANTING OF HOLIDAYS. 'The Inspector of Nuisances applied for a fort- night's holiday for his assistant. Mr. Summerfield. -Mr. Benjamin Lewis said he would be the last one to refuse Mr. Summerfield a holiday, but he thought it would be wise to ask Mr. Summerfield to defer his holidays for a few days, in view of the extra work entailed by the inspection of all ships to see -whether there were signs of cholera on board.— The Inspector said that he would require all the assistance he could get for a short time. PROSECUTIONS FOR NON-COMPLIANCE WITH ORDERS. The committee next considered the desirability of prosecuting those who delayed remedying nuisances on their premises.—The Clerk recom- mended that a test case should be taken, as some people in the district were under the impression that they could not enforce the law.-The Chair- man asked the Inspector if anyonfe had evinced -to him a determination not to obey the orders.—The Inspector said that amongst others Mr. E. Phillips had.—Mr. Thomas opposed the idea. On four days next week he had distress .sales, and he thought the people could ill afford the expense of the remedies. The houses were in as good a state as those of Cardiff, with a population of 150.000; Swansea, Aberdare, Merthyr, and and other large places and here, in a poverty- -stricken place like this, they were sticking on A4 or Y,5 again. He should stick out against it with all his power.—The Chairman said it was apparent to anyone passing through the street that the smells from the sewers were abominable. He had been in closets which were quite full to the top with sewage. The tenants were in some cases too lazy to throw water into the closets. The primary .object was the health of the place. Supposing there had been an outbreak of disease, it would be no answer that the times were so bad that they would not put people to the expense of making their sanitary arrangements perfect.—Mr. Thomas said their system was as effective as those of the towns he had mentioned.-The Chairman said there was not any house of any pretension in Cardiff that had not a flushing apparatus. It was only in the very small cottages, and they were rapidly being seen to.—Mr. Lewis recommended that some test case should be taken. MISCELLANEOUS. A letter was read from the Local Government Board with reference to the cholera outbreak, en- closing an order they had made in the matter. The order stated that no rags or filthy clothes should be delivered or landed. A letter was read from the Sanitary Institute, having reference to any Suture appointment of sanitary officials, and re- commending that they should first be examined -d. take a certificate of the Sanitary Institute, Certifying to their fitness for the position.^—The Clerk mentioned that he had received a notice from the Local Government Board to the effect that the period for which the inspector of nuisances had been appointed had expired, and asking what had been dene in the matter. — He had written in reply ta say that the circumstance of the appoint- ment expiring had been overlooked, and he also asked the Board to permit them to reappoint the inspector as before.—Inspector Leyshon was instructed to in future place the fact of the ex- piration of his appointment on the agenda a short time before such expiration so that it might not be again overlooked. APPLICATIONS FOR XEW LAMPS. Applications for new lamps for Wilford-street and Courtenay road were next considered.—The Surveyor presented plans of several more streets which required lighting. They would require 40 pillars and 151 lanterns.—The Chairman proposed that the pillars, kc. be advertised for. NEW NUMBERS. The Surveyor mentioned that he required 360 additional numbers.—It was decided to get them from Mr. E. J. Thomas, whose recent tender for the supply of numbers had been the lowest. The matter of the removal of the disinfecting apparatus from its old to its new station was brought forward by the surveyor, and it was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the Chairman, Surveyor and Clerk. The usual monthly bills for establishment charges were examined, and this concluded all the business of public interest. FINANCE COMMITTEE. The usual month y meeting of the Finance Com- mittee was held on Tuesday evening, Mr. J. J. Williams in the chair. The others present were Mr. Ben Lewis. Mr. J. A. Hughes (clerk), Mr. J. C.

PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE. The monthly meeting of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board was held at the Board-room on Monday evening. There were present Mr. J. Robinson (in the chair), Mr. J. C. Meggitt, Mr. J. Barstow, Sir. W. Thomas (Barry), and Dr. O'Donnell.—The Surveyor reported that the notices for private im- provements in Morel-street and Pyke-street had expired on the 26th August, and that the work had not been carried out.—It was resolved that applications should be made to the Local Government Board for permission to borrow £2.080 to carry out those private improvements—The Clerk was also instructed to apply to the Local Government Board for permission to borrow £3,541 10s. Id. for the extension of the sewer in the Barry Dock district, in excess of the estimate, and £300 for lamps. kc.—The Surveyor reported t that Mr. Trigg, Commercial-road, had been using sewerage water for the purpose of mixing mortar for buildings, and it was determined to take pro- ceeding against him. It was also resolved to take proceedings against Mr. Davies for erecting houses in Court-road without having submitted plans for the approval of the Board.—The Surveyor reported that notices on the owners of property in the Old Village, Palmerstown, and Palmers-street, request- ing them to connect the drainage of their houses with the Board's drains, and that there were several lengths of sewers which would be con- structed by the Board.—The Surveyor submitted plans, sections, and estimates for the drainage of houses.-r—It was resoved that the private improve- ments in the back lanes at the rear of these houses be carried out, those improvements to include the construction of a sewer. The Surveyor also submitted plans, &c., for the new road leading from the Wenvoe Arms along Station-terrace following the railway fence to a point in Colbrook- road, near Merch Farm.—The matter was deferred for the present.—The Surveyor further reported he had written to Messrs. Pile and Bass, and had also sent to Mr. Snell. ofPe-iarth, in refe- rence to the lime for drains now being erected for Phyllis-street, on Barry Island, and had arranged for this to be done.—A letter was read from the Y.M.C.A. asking permission to have the letters Y.M.C.A. put on the lamp outside the premises. Permission was granted them, providing the asso- ciation would bear the cost of putting up the lamp and taking it down when requested, also subject to the letters being approved by the surveyor. The following plans, &:0., were passed :—A shop and premises in Thompson-street, for Mr. S. Lewis, subject to the condition that the premises will not be used as a dwelling-house shop in Thompson- street, for Mr. S. Lewis alteration of Colcot Ganol Farm, Merthyr Dovan; two houses in Kenilworth-road. for Messrs. Davies and Evans three houses in Court-road, for Mr. A. Nalfer.— The amended form of the Barry Dock Hotel, for Mr. Culley, was referred back to provide a better means of exit from the large hall.—In answer to the letter from the Barry District Trades' Council, the clerk was instructed to write informing them that as they had failed to produce the rebutting evidence, a.s promised the committee on the produc- tion of Mr. Bsddoe's time-sheet by Mr. Richards, reported that the charge of sub-letting against Mr. Richards was not proven.—Dr. O'Donnell said that in a report published by one of the local papers it was stated that he said, after the reading of the letter, that there was not a shadow of ground for the charge brought against Mr. Richards. What he did say was that Mr. Thomas reported as the result of their investigation that the charge against Mr. Richards was not proved. — It was resolved to pay Mr. Rutter and Mr. Rees part of their retention, subject to their paying the interest.—-Permis- sion was given to Mr. Ashley to erect a wooden shed in Dilnraven-street, Barry.—In answer to the letter received from the clerk of the Pontypridd Local Board, it was resolved that the clerk be in- structed to state that the Board will be willing to join in any deputation to the directors of the Barry Railway Company, in reference to a passenger ser- vice of trains between Barry and Pontypridd, but they were not prepared to join the Pontypridd Board in going to the Railway Commissioners, and it was decided that the deputation should be named at the Board meeting.—The Clerk reported that the result of the recent arbitration was that the Board should pay the Rev. G. LI. Williams the sum of £ 7.">. each side to bear its own costs.— This was all the business.
THE CADOXTON AND BARRY GRAMMAR…
THE CADOXTON AND BARRY GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Parents and guardians who are in search of a thoroughly reliable and efficient grammar school at which to place their children cannot do better than send them to the Cadoxton-Barry Grammar School, conducted by Mr. R. G. Morris (late Master of the Hackney Grammar School, London). Mr. Morris has, as the prospectus in another column states, successfully prepared candidates for Sand- hurst and Woolwich, the higher grades of the Civil Service, medical, law, and pharmaceutical exami- nations, Oxford and Cambridge Local Exams, and the College of Perceptors. The inhabitants of the district is fortunate in having such very superior tuition placed within their reach at such very reasonable charges. Amongst the recent successes of pupils prepared by Mr. Morris we note first class mathematics, science and art. South Kensing- ton second class drawing, South Kensington and an open exhibition at Bristol Baptist College. 1891.

ATTENDANCE OFFICER'S REPORT. The report of Mr. W. Seig, attendance officer, showed that 79. absentees had been visited during the past month, and 1:13 notices served. The officer complained of a serious falling off in the average, attendances during the past month. mainly owing to the fact that there had bo:;n so many Sunday School treats. For example, on the previous Wednes- day one-third of the whole number attend- ing at Caddxton Schools were absent. Through this means the average attendance, which but for this would have been about 80 per cent., had fallen for the week to 76 per cent. The report further suggested that it would be advisable that Sunday School treats could be so arranged in future as to fall within the summer holidays.—The Chairman remarked that there wis no doubt that these treats had occasioned a serious financial loss to the Board. Later on a letter was read from the Barry District Teachers' Association, complaining of the same thing, and suggesting that the Board should write to the different ministers.—The Clerk was instructed to do so, and to remind them again next year. THE NEW MEMBERS. On the motion of Dr. Lloyd-Ed ward-, Mr. John Rees was elected a member of the Finance Com- mittee vice Mr. E. F. Biackmore. and Mr. Rees and Dr. Edwards were elected members of the Visiting Committee. Mr. Rees thanked the Board for the honour they had done him. and he wished also to convey to the Board the satisfaction felt by the Trades' ^Council at the election of their nominee as a member of the Board—one whom they had some confidence in. and who had tried, however imperfectly, to promote the interests of the Council. He knew that it would take some time to make a good member, and it could not be expected that a new man would be as efficient or as qualified to deal with the details of the Board's work as his predecessor, Mr. Oliver Jenkins, had been. He trusted, however, that in those differences which must arise in small matters of detail between men of independent opinions, they would give one another every credit for sincerity of purpose. His object at all times would be to make the schools as efficient as pos- sible, without at the same time overstepping the mark in the matter of expenditure. He trusted also that with close attention to his duties he would become well-acquainted with the Board's routine work. Dr. Lloyd Edwards also thanked the Board for electing him a member, and he was especially glad to find that he had been elected in such very good company. He had no doubt that Mr. Rees would prove to be a most useful member. The Chairman expressed his great pleasure in receiving them as colleagues, and trusted that they would both attend the meetings of the Board regularly. EVENING CLASSES. A letter was read from Mr. J. E. Thorpe, the secretary of the Barry Teachers' Association, sug- gesting the formation of recreative evening classes for the coming winter. The teachers, it was said, were very willing to render all the assistance in their power, and tha Board was urged to take immediate steps to form such classes.—Dr. Edwards wished to know if the Government gave a grant towards these evening classes.—The Chairman said that a grant would be given if the code subjects were taught, and as much more could be taught as they liked. He was, however, doubtful of the success of the classes. The Science and Art Classes had not been so well attended during the last winter as had been expected, and the Science and Art Classes, which had a very large scope, would, to a largo extent, cover the ground of the recrea- tive classes.—Dr. Edwards May not these classes, which are a sort of continuation classes and less advanced than the Science and Art Classes, be successful where the others are not.'—The Chair- man said that if that were so he would be very glad to help. They must not, however, argue from the case of a large town like Cardiff.—The Clerk was ultimately asked to write to the secretary with regard to the subjects which the Association would suggest should be taught, and to report to the next meeting of the Board. OPPOSITION TO A LICENSE. Dr. Lloyd-Edwards drew attention to the fact that a license would be applied for at the next licensing sessions for a Hotel situate on Barry Hill, and near to an acre of ground which had been purchased by the Board. He considered that, if a license was granted, the value of their property would be much deteriorated, and he would, there- fore. propose that the Chairman should be asked to attend the next licensing sessions an behalf of the Board, and oppose the grant of a license to the proposed new hotel on Barry Hill. Mr. J. Rees Is there no other meeting of the Board before the liconsing sessions The Clerk No. Mr. J. Rees Then I have great pleasure in seconding the motion. The resolution was carrier, and the Chairman said he would be very pleased to attend before the magistrates in his capacity as Chairman of the Board. EXAMINATIONS. The Clerk informed the Board that the drawing examination of the South Kensington Science and Art Department would be held on September 29, at 10.25 at Cadoxton and 1.45 at Barry Dock. The date of the examination at Holton was not yet known. A circular letter was also submitted by the Clerk, which had been drawn up according to the instructions given by the Board to the parents of children attending the schools, asking for their help in enforcing regular attendance of children. now that the examinations were so close at hand.— A discussion ensued as to the best means of distri- buting the circulars, and it was decided to give them to the school children to take home. m Mr. J. Rees If the South Wale* Star will make a note of it that will be quite sufficient. MISCELLANEOUS. Several parents appeared before the Board whose children had been irregular in their atten- dance.—A letter was read from the Education Department asking- the Board to advise them of the result of Miss Maria Evans' examination for the Queen's scholarship.—Miss Wilcox applied for an increase of salary according to the Board's scale. An advance of £5 was given, to begin in September.—This was all the business of im- portance.

ASSAULT. — Benjamin Sully, boarding-house keeper, of Travis-street, Barry Dock, was charged with assaulting his wife, Margaret Sully, on the 8th inst.—Prosecutrix nsked that she might be allowed to withdraw the case. On the 8th last. Sully went home with her and struck her, and told her to get out of his way. He had had some drink, and she thought it advisable to get out of his way. For the sake of her seven children she had returned to him, and she now applied for the summons to be withdrawn. The magistrates cautioned defendant not to come before them again, as he had had 10 previous convictions recorded against him, and he would be severely dealt with. UNLAWFULLY Usixc WATER.—William Bald- win, labourer, Cadoxton, and Samuel Triggs, builder, employer of Baldwin, was charged by the Barry and Cadoxton Gas and Water Company with the above offence on tfce 16th August.—Mr. Handcoek appeared to prosecute on behalf of the Company.—Henry Roberts, inspectorjof the Barry and Cadoxton Water- Company, said on the 16th August he visited Commercial-road, where Triggs was building some houses. He was using the Company's water, which he got from a house a little distance away. He had carried a pipe across the road. and turned the water into a tub at the place where he was building. He went there at three in the afternoon, and saw both defendants. He spoke to them, and Trigg said it was Baldwin's fault, and said to Baldwin, I told you how it would be."—A warrant was issued. Mr. T. R. Thompson did not sit during the hearing of the case. STEALING APPLES.—Mary Ann Stoker, a char- woman, Cardiff, was charged by Mr. James Oliver, of Penarth, with stealing a quantity of apples belonging to him on the 24th of August.—Police- constable William Evans said that on the morning of the 24th inst. at 1.30 he heard a noise in Mr. Oliver's garden. He went in and found defendant lying down in the summer-house. He made her go out, and on returning to the garden found the apples produced. At eight o'clock the next morn- ing he arrested her in Ludlow-street.—The son of the prosecutor, John C. Oliver, said the value of the apples stolen was 5s.—Seven previous convictions were proved against defendant, who was fined £1 and costs or 14 days' imprisonment.

SEBIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A BARRY.…
SEBIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A BARRY. DOCK BOARDING- HOUSE KEEPER. At the Penarth Police-court on Monday, before Mr. Gore (in the chair) and Mr. Thompson, Lewis Gou Ie,boarding-house keeper,of Regent-street,Barry Dock (for whom Mr. J. H. Jones. Cardiff, appeared), was charged with unlawfully wounding Morris Haines (sailor, of Merthyrdovan,) on the 26th inst. —Prosecutor resided at Holme-street, Cadoxton, and on the 26th inst. he stayed at 13, Regent- street, Barry Dock, which house was kept by prisoner. It was a boarding-house. On the Friday night, at five past eleven, he was sitting in the kitchen, and prisoner came to him about two or three minutes after he came in. He asked him what he had been growling about his note for,and witness replied that, in the first place, he had charged him 16s. for a week's board, and he had only been four days in his house. He had given defendant his advance note for :1.:2, and he only gave him back 6s. He said What"' first, and then called him a b swine," and struck nim in the right eye with his fist. Witness was sitting down at the time. There was another man in the kitchen aud defendant's wife. He said You are no man, Mr. Goule, to do that." He moved towards the fender then and picked a poker up, and caught hold of it in his two hands and said, I will kill the likes of you," and then struck him on the head with the poker. He was still sitting down. His head bled freely, and he had felt ill ever since. He went to the doctor next day. The poker with which he was struck, a very heavy one, was identi- fied by witness. The defendant appeared to have had plenty of drink. He told defendant he hadn't done it for nothing, and, whilst the blood was in his eyes, Geule struck him on the left side of his face with his fist. Before he struck him with his fist, he asked defendant to let him ero out to see a doctor, and he replied he should not go out until he went on board the ship. He heard the front door being locked, and he attempted to go out the back door, but he couldn't find the bolt. He saw Dr. Livingstone next day. He went to join his ship the next day before he saw the doctor, but the captain refused to take him in consequence of his wounds. He saw defendant the next day, and he told wit- ness he was sorry for having done what he had done to him. After going on the ship he went to the doctor, and also gave information to the police, and defendant was arrested. He went to the doctor about 10.30, as he had first to see the Board of Trade officers.—Thomas Smith, a fellow lodger, a seaman, also a runner for the prisoner, said that on the 26th inst. he went into the kitchen and saw Haines there sitting on a chair. He noticed that the blood was flowing from his head. He washed the blood away. and saw a little cut there. He saw Goule afterwards, but he was not in the kitchen when he went it. Goule did not appear as if he had been drinking when he saw him, but looked quite sober. After he washed prosecutor's head he put something on his head, and led him up and put him to bed. The man appeared to be drunk as his breath smelt of liquor. He could not say that it was owing to the effect of the blow that he could not walk up without assistance.—Mr. i Jones asked that he might reserve his examina- tion of the witnesses, as he had only been instructed that morning and this was a very serious affair.— Dr. J. Livingstone, doctor of medicine, resident at Barry Dock, said on the 27th inst. he examined the complainant at his suigery. He found a con- siderable amount of clotted blood in his hair. He removed part of the hair, and found a cut on his head from about 2 to 2] inches in length. The bone of the skull was exposed at the middle of the wound. He put one stitch in the cut, which was not of a dangerous character. The man had two black eyes. He found the stains on the poker to be recent bloodstains.—In cross-examination by the Magistrates' Clerk, the prosecutor said the man who was in the room when he was struck was named Simmonds. He was sober at the time defendant struck hirn. The prisoner's wife was also in the room. He had been drinking that day, but not to any extent. He had been in two public- houses that evening. The defendant's wife left the room. and said, For God's sake let the man I alone."—Mr. Jones asked for a remand. The defendant, he said, was a householder of Barry, "*nd respectable sureties were willing to become bail lor his appearance.—The Bench granted a remand for a week. bail being allowed, himself in £50 and two sureties in £50 each.—Mr. James Harrison, secretary of the Seamen's Union, and Mr. J. Scrubizza became sureties. _u

SERIOUS ASSAULT CASE AT CADOXTON.
SERIOUS ASSAULT CASE AT CADOXTON. WOUNDING A NEGRO. At the Penarth Police-court, on Monday, before Mr. Gore (in the chair) and Mr. T. R. Thompson. Florence Fitzgerald, seaman, Cadoxton, was charged by Alexander Dowers, a coloured seamen, from the West Indies, with assault at Cadoxton. on the 27th inst. Prosecutor said he lodged at Thompson's Boarding-house, Courtenay- street, Cadoxton. He was in the kitchen last Saturday evening at five o'clock. The prisoner and several other men were there. He said nothing to the men except to ask for the loan of a pipe to smoke. The man lent it him, and prisoner said to him. You son of a bitch, why do you come among white men ?" Defendant struck him with his fist. He put defendant's head under his arm, and they both fell down. They both got up, and prosecutor ran into the front room. Prisoner followed him into the front room. and witness saw him pick up a jug. The jug was thrown at him and struck him on the head. He couldn't) say whothrew it.—Prosecutor, on examina- tion, admitted that he had told the police that the prisoner threw the jug at him, and on being cau- tioned by the magistrates,he now said prisoner threw it at him. He went out to look for a doctor, and he met a constable, who bound his head up and took him to a doctor. After he had been to the doctor, the mistress of the boarding-house came and took him back. No one had been talking to him about the case.—Cross-examined by the Bench, wit- ness said no one had talked to him about the ca.-c*. —Mrs. Martha Thompson, married woman, the boarding-house mistress, said she lived at 22. Courtenay-road. On Saturday evening, about five, she was upstairs in her bedroom. She heard something break, and came downstairs to see what was the matter, and she only saw the men going out. She went in the front room. and found the remains of the jug on the floor. There was some blood on the floor, which one of the men swept up. She went and fetched the prosecutor from the police-station. His head was bandaged up. She did not see any blood on his clothes. She had never seen the prisoner at her house before. Being a sailor, she could not help knowing a good many people at Cadoxton. Prosecutor's cousin worked for her house.—Dr. Livingstone said on Saturday, at 5.:10, he examined the prosecutor at his surgery. He found one large wound from the forehead to the eye, quite three inches in length, and the bone was exposed the whole length of the wound. He stitched it up, putting three or four stitches in it. The wound was bleeding very freely. The skin of the bone was injured. He found another wound over the right temple about an inch long. also to the bone. He put a stitch in that wound also. Prosecutor's clothes were covered with blood, and he must have lost quite a quantity of blood. Had he not received prompt medical assistance the bleeding would probably have endangered his life. He did not consider that the wounds would have been caused by the prosecutor falling en a jug. and they were the result of considerable violence. The two wounds might have been caused by the same jug.— Acting-sergeant Gammon, stationed at Cactoxtcn said he met the prosecutor on Weston Hill, Cadox- ton. with blood streaming down his face from a wound on his forehead, and there was a track of blood along the road where he had walked. He bandaged up his head with a handkerchief, and took him to a doctor, who dressed his wounds. From what he told him he arrested prisoner outside the Wenvoe Arms Hotel, at Cadoxton, about 0 p.m. He told prisoner he would have to come to the station with him for wounding a coloured man. He said "The only thing he can do is to summon me." He took him to the police- station. prosecutor was there at the time, and said That's the man who throw the jug at me." In the presence of Inspector Rees ho charged the prisoner with unlawfully wounding prosecutor in a board- ing-house about five that evening, by striking him on the head with a jug. He cautioned prisoner who said" We both had a fight, and I was not going to let a b—— blackman beat me. I caught hold of a jug from the table, and bashed him on the head." Prisoner then became very excited. Inspector Rees corroborated the last witness's statement, and said he heard the prisoner say, We both had a fight, and I was not going to let a h blackman beat me. I caught hold of a jug from the table, and bashed it at his head.—Defen- dant said the jug fell between the two of them, and the prosecutor was as much to blame as he was. -The Bench decided to send the prisoner to be tried by a jury at the Swansea Quarter Session to be held in September. Bail was allowed, prisoner in £ 50, and two sureties in the same amount.

Cram presided, and Miss Lee kindly under- took the distribution of the prizes.—The Chairman asked the treasurer to give a brief statement as to the financial position of the society, and, in com- pliance. Canon Edwards said the state of things was. in his opinion, very satisfactory. The total amount subscribed towards the show was £ 67 13s. 8d. (Hear, hear.) They could not expect to have as much contributed next year, but he was pleased to inform them that from the receipts of the last show there would be a surplus of about £13. (Hear, hear. Mr. Alexander: "I hope to see it .1.:20. sit.") The rev. treasurer cchoed Mr. Alexander's wish. and, continuing, said the amount received at gates was £7 13s. 6d.. exclusive of the subscribers, and they had 84 subscribers. A good deal of the success of the show depended upon the beautiful weather with which they were favoured, but they were considerably indebted to Mr. Alexander for his great kindness in allowing them unrestrained use of his magnificent grounds. (Ap- plause.) The manner in which the whole arrange- ments had beeneonduetedwasaproofofthesplendid capacities of those in whose hands the arrange- ments were entrusted, and he was sure the success of this was a good augury for its future welfare. (Applause.)—Mr. Alexander said he was much obliged to them for their kind expressions, and would only be too pleased to repeat the loan of his grounds for any object so praiseworthy as that of the flower show. He then asked Miss Lee if she would Kindly give out the prizes. (Hear, hear.) Miss Lee, amid applause, came forward to the table, when Mr. Frank John rose, and, with apologies for interrupting the proceedings, asked the Chairman if he would be in order to request that the allotment prizes should be withheld for a fewdays, to allow the gardens of the prize-winners to be inspected, as he was aware that the exhibits of those winners were not grown in their gardens. The Chairman Have you given notice of this fact to the committee ? Mr. John XV,. sir. Chairman Well, I cannot entertain the question here. Mr. Alexander: [f there is a question of fraud ——— The Chairman The question cannot be enter- tained here, and I will not allow it. Mr. Alexander I am in possession of the meet- ing. and ———— The Chairman I rule against you. Mr. Alexander The meeting is a public meet- ing, and I am at liberty to discuss and ventilate any question of fraudulency. The Chairman I cannot allow it, sir. I must ask you to desist, or I resign. Mr. Alexander Well, that rests with you if you wish. I am serry- The Chairman The rule says the decision of the judges shall be final. After some discussion the question was post- poned to the committee meeting after the distribu- tion of prizes which then took place, after which Miss Lee said she was glad to be able to give these prizes, and hoped the interest would be increased by the next year's show. To have a nice garden she considered to be the best of things, and no one took a greater pleasure in garden-keeping than her brother. (Loud applause.) General Lee was devoted to garden cultivation, and spent a great deal of his time that way. (Hear, hear.) Garden- ing Miss Lee considered to bo a pleasure in itself. (Applause.) Miss Lee, accompanied by the Misses. Edwards, then left the schools, and whilst going out three hearty cheers were given for the ladies." COMMITTEE MEETING. A committee meeting was then held, among whom were the Rev. Canon Edwards, Mr. D. T. Alexander. Mr. T. Cram (chairman), Mr. Greatrex. Messrs. John, Thomas, Jenkins, &c. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed, after which those who had sold tickets for the show handed in the money tht-y had received, Canon Edwards said the greatest thanks were due to the kind friends who had sent flowers for decorating the show, and hoped a hearty recogni- tion of their kindness, together with that of Mr. Alexander for the use of his beautiful grounds, and Major-General Lee and Miss Lee for opening the show. X Mr. Mcckford said he wished to thank Mr. Alexander, especially, for his many useful sugges- tions which his great experience in those matters rendered doubly useful in the present case, as it was their first show. (Hear. hear.) Mr. Alexander said that he thought the gentle- men who worked hardest were Mr. Greatrex and Mr. Cram. and he begged to include them in the vote of thanks which he proposed, and which was accorded them with much cheering. The secretary was instructed to write to each one who had sent flowers, &c. for decoration, tendering the hearty thanks of the committee. A rough statement of accounts showed that the total amount received, including ticket money and subscriptions was £ 67, and about £ 5 more remained to be collected. Bills already paid about £20 6s. Od. The baud's ex- penses were £ 5 14s. A dispute arose on Friday with the two men who were engaged to clear the grounds. They agreed to do the work for 2s. each, and when it was done demanded IUs. each, but ultimately had to go away with the 2s. agreed for. The total amount of expenses incurred, including prize money, was t:53 16s. Od.. leaving n balance of about t;13 which had been deposited in the Xational Bank. A long discussion then took place upon the alleged fraudulent allotment ex- j hibit-s, and after some warm arguments Mr. Frank John proposed that the garden of Mr. Moore, winner of the first prize, should be examined as he (Mr. John) could prove the vegetables he had been successful with were not grown in his garden. Also the spring cabbage prize, awarded to Mr. B. Greatrex, was disputed, and after prolonged dis- cussion. Mr. Alexander proposed and carried the resolution, that Mr. Wm. Treaeder should visit the trardens in question, and decide the dispute. Votes of tfcanks ended the meeting.
WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT,
WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT, IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS. A meetiag of the executive committee of the Xorth Waks Liberal Federation was held on Fri- day at Chester. Mr. Humphreys Owen. who pre- sided, was supported by Mr. Herbert Roberts. M.P.. and other leading members of the party. A letter was read from Mr. Thomas Gee, of Denbigh, who was enable to be present, in which he said Had I been present I would have suggested that a small committee be appointed to draw out a draft of the provisions which should be contained in a Disestablishment and Disendowment Bill for Wales, and that the whole committee should he convened to change and re-consider it if necessary, before the meeting of Parliament. The members of Parliament should he imvited also to attend so that we should all consider the question together. If these suggestions were approved of, it would bo necessary to refer the question to our South Wales friends for their consideration also, as we should have a committee selected from both Federations." Considerable discussion, took place I upon the present position of the question, and it was resolved, on the motion of the Rev. J. M. Rees, seconded by the Rev. A. J. Parry;— That this tsieeting, whilst rejoicing that the Welsh I Parliamentary party hive decided to give hearty sup- port to the Irish policy of the Liberal Government-, and taking for granted that before coming to the I decision they had obtained an assurance from the Liberal leaders that the Disestablishment and Dis- endowment of the Church of England in Wales would be underbken either c01lcurreutly with 01' immediately after Home Rule for Ireland, is of opinion that it is (if the greatest importance in the interests of the Liberal party in Wales that the terms of the assur- ance should be ma"de known without delay in order to satisfy the anxiety felt by the country that definite arrangements may be made to deal with the question at the earliest possible opportunity. On the motion of Mr. Bryan, of Holywell, seconded by Mr. John Parry, of Llanarmon, it was resolved further :— That in the opinion of this committee it is most desirable that a conference of the Welsh Parliamentary party, as suggested by the Welsh Disestablishment Campaign committee, should be held as soon as prac- ticable. With reference to the subject of Mr. Gee's letter, it was moved by Mr. Llewellyn Eaton, seconded by Mr. Herbert Roberts, M.P., and resolved ■• That the question be referred to a committee, con- sisting of Messrs. Humphreys Owen, R. A. Jones, Thomas Gee. John Parry, and the Revs. A. J. Parry, and J. M. Rees, with instructions to consider the report of a committee previously appointed to confer with the Disestablishment Campaign Committee of the sSoutn Wales Federation, and to report to this executive as as early possible. It was also resolved to hold the annual meet- ing of the Federation on the 14th day of October at Rhyl.

BURIAL OF PAUPERS AT PONTYPRIDD.
„ liMUt BURIAL OF PAUPERS AT PONTYPRIDD. The first meeting of the newly-formed Ponty- pridd Burial Board was held on "Friday evening, when Mr. Richard Rogers, the chairman of the defunct Glyntaff Burial Board, was unanimously elected to the chair.-A deputation waited upon the Board, introduced by Mr. W. Morgan, to ask what objections the Board had to a certain in- scription which it was proposed to write on the tombstone of the late Mr. W. Delaney, who was killed at the Maritime Colliery. The objection- able (.') inscription was as follows :— t; In loving memory of William Delaney,;the beloved husband of Catherine Delaney." Vicar S. R. Jones said that the objection against the inscription was that Mrs. Delaney might get married and change her name.—The Rev. Father Smythe characterised this as an unreasonable objection, and on a vote being taken it was re- solved that the inscription be passed.—Mr. Judd brought in a complaint referring to the burial of paupers, and said that he and others had noticed that their corpses were rattled from the work- house straight to the grave. He would wish to know how it was that they were not taken to the chapel or church, the same as other people.—The Rev. S. R. Jones remarked that he had received a promise from the chairman of the Board of Guardians to the effect that the matter would be attended to. This state of things had been going on for ten years, and the blame rested between the contractor and the guardians.-It was resolved that a strong letter should be directed to the guardians calling their attention to the matter.
