BARRY AND CADOXTON LOCAL BOARD.
BARRY AND CADOXTON LOCAL BOARD. A special meeting of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board was held on Tuesday afternoon at the Local Board Offices, Cadoxton. There were pre- sent Mr. John Robinson (in the chair), General Lee, Alderman Meggitt, Dr. O'Donnell, and Messrs. George Thomas, Benjamin Lewis, J. Jewel Wil- liams, J. Barstow, Win. Thomas, J. A. Hughes {clerk), J. C. Pardoe (surveyor), und Dr. Neale (medical officer). APPLICATION FOR THEATRICAL LICENSE. Mr. F. P. Jones-Lloyd applied on behalf of Mr. Harry Smith for a theatrical license for a building hitherto known as the Barry Dock Public-hall, Thompson-street, Barry Dock. Mr. Lloyd said he had plenty of evidence that there was a distinct need felt by the public for a theatre at Barry Dock. He would say nothing then of the educational and moral influences of the scage, but would point out that during the winter months it would provide a harmless amusement for working men outside the public-house. The plans he would submit showed that there would be sufficient ingress and egress, and there would be seating accommodation for 525 persons. There would be two broad stair- cases, and alterations would be made in the premises in order to adopt them for the purposes of a theatre. He would ask the Board to grant the licence to the premises not as they stood but as the petitioner desired them to be altered. The petitioner would also guarantee that the building would not be used for the purpose of a theatre until the suggestions that might be made by the Board would have been complied with. Mr. George Thomas said that he had no opposi- tion to offer to the grant of a theatrical license to a building in Barry Dock. He was not prepared to vote for the grant of a license to a building that was not suited for it. It was not for the Board to decide what a theatre should be like. but it was for the promoters of the theatre to prepare plans for the approval of the Board. Mr. John Robinson said that Superintendent Wake had made certain suggestions for altering the premises before it could be used for a theatre. The Surveyor said that Superintendent Wake had; suggested two dressing-rooms for males and females should be provided, and banisters should be erected near the staircase, and that the sliding doors should be turned into swing doors. Mr. Jones-Lloyd said that the petitioner was prepared to carry out all the suggestions that had been made by Superintendent Wake. Dr. O'Donnell said that the plans of the Cadox- ton Theatre had been approved on certain condi- tions, but now they found that the Board could not enforce them. ¡ General Lee said that there was no doubt a theatri- cal licence was wanted at Barry Dock, and that the Board should not refuse to grant a license to a properly constructed house. There was no opposi- tion by the ratepayers. The Clerk Will Mr. Smith ba the actual manager ? Mr. Jones-Lloyd No. The Clerk The Act says that the licensee of the theatre must be the actual manager. Mr. Smith said he had nor engaged a manager, but he was not sure whether Mr. Stoll, of the Em- pire, Cardiff. would not take it, but he, ?Jr.Smith. would be responsible for the conduct of the theatre. After the applicant lind withdrawn, Mr. J. C. Meggitt asked wnat the posKi.cn of the Board would be if they granted that license attci n, jood building were erected elsewhere as a theatre ? The Clerk said the Board could grant as many theatrical licenses as they wished. Mr. George Thomas said there 110 proscenia and no dressing-rooms provided, and that the lavatory accommodation was in a cellar. The building was more ad^-ed for a music-hall than a tbr ikr. John Robinson said that plans should 'be sent in the usual way to the surveyor. After a long discussion, Mr. George Thomas pro- posed, and General Lee seconded, That this Board is prepared to consider favourably any applications for' a theatrical license for Barry Dock, but re- fuses Mr. Smith's application on the ground that the plans presented do not provide the necessary Bequirements of a theatre." THE ACQUISITION OF THE GAS AND WATER WORKS. Mr. George Thomas said that before the dis- -cussion on this matter came on it would bo better to form the Board into a General Parposes -Committee, so that the discussion should be carried on in private. He was not in favour of hiding anything from the public, but be thought that the public interests would be served at this juncture by asking the Press to withdraw. The directors of the Gas and Water Company de- liberated in private, and the Board should do the same, and take the public fully into their confi- dence at a later period. Geneial Lee, in seconding, said that as they would necessarily have to deal with details, he thought it would be better to conduct the proceedings privately. The company might make use of what some of the members said that day to the prejudice of the Board's case, when the matter came up for arbitration.—Mr. J. C. Meggitt opposed, and said that that day they had met to discuss a matter of the greatest public im- portance, and it was to the public interest to know how the members spoke and voted on the subject. The Board would have to take the public into their ,confidence later on, and he thought the sooner they did so the better. He, therefore, proposed that the representatives of the Press be allowed to remain. Mr. Benjamin Lewis seconded, and said that by excluding the Press they would not be keeping from the company an account of what had transpired at the Board that day (laughter) and he was of opinion that even before the public -would know what they had decided to do the directorate of the company would be fully acquainted with the proceedings. (Laughter.)—On a division being taken, Mr. George Thomas, Mr. Joshua Barstow. General Lee, and Mr. John Robin- son voted for the original motion, and Mr. J. C. Meggitt. Dr. O'Donnell. Mr. Benjamin Lewis, and Mrf William Thomas (Barry) against.—The Chair- man gave his casting vote in favour of the resolu- tion, and the discussion was therefore conducted in private. When the representatives of the Press were re-admitted, they were informed that it had been decided that the Board should promote a Bill of their own in the next session for the acquisition of the Gas and Water Company's undertaking, and that in the meantime the Parliamentary Committee should be empowered to approach the company with the view of arriving at an amicable settle- ment. THE RECREATION G;TOTTND AT CADOXTON. Dr. O'Donnell, on behalf of the Barry and Cadox- ton District Football Club, made application for the use of the Recreation Ground on the Barry- jroad. Dr. O'DonneH said he had been informed that the clerk had the power to grant such appli- cation until such time as the Board sanctioned it,. and he had therefore made an application to the Clerk, who had allowed the club the use of the ground temporarily.—Mr. George Thomas asked if the club wanted the exclusive right of the recreation ground ?— Mr. Benjamin Lewis said it would be unfair that the club should spend money to place the ground in order and other clubs should come in and take advantage of it. He would, therefore, suggest that they should let a certain portion of the ground to the club.—Mr. Wm. Thomas (Barry) said it was unreasonable and unjust to give the exclusive right of public ground to any one club.—Mr. Benjamin Lewis it is now only used by sheep. (Laughter.)—General Lee And the football team is to take the place of the -sheep. (Laughter.)—Dr. O'Donnell said he was empowered to offer, on behalf of the club, the sum zC5 a year for the use of a certain portion of the ground.—Mr. Geo. Thomas proposed, and Mr. J. J. Williams seconded, that Dr. O'Donnell's application be granted, subject to the terms to be arranged by the Slaughter-house Committee.—The motion was carried. Mr. Wm. Thomas being the only dissen- tient. THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE THE BARRY DRAINAGE SCHEME. The Public Works Committee recommended that Mr. Walker's original drainage scheme for Barry be adopted, and this was agreed to. This was the principal business of importance. THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. A special meeting of the Health Committee Was held on Monday night, at the Board Offices. Dr. O'jpfennell presided, there being also present Mr. Ben Lewis, Dr. Treharne. Mr. Wm. Thomas (Sully), Mr. Wm. Thomas (Barry), Dr. Neale (medical officer), Mr. Pardoe (surveyor), and Mr. J. A. Hughes (clerk). The first business done was the signing bills consequent upon the cholera outbreak. The sum of E40 for two weeks' hire of the tug Pelaw. at C20 a week, was allowed, and the medical officer ,was voted C20 to meet the ex- penses of the hire for the present week. A bill was discussed from Messrs. Downing and Handcock, Cardiff, of £ 2 2s. 9d.. for preparing the agreement, &c.. for the hire of the tug. Bills were presented from the Barry Dock Xeivx, for printing, of £ 1 7s.; from Knight and Co., of P,3 Os. 6d.; and one from Messrs. Gibbs and Sons, ship's chandlers, for £ 2 5s.; Mr. Smart's bill of £21 for a tent was left over. Instead of supplying a tent 24ft. by 24ft., he had supplied a circular tent 24ft. in diameter. Mr. Harris, tenant of the Flat Holm, sent in a bill of £ 9 2s. 6d. The agreement was that he should do all things necessary for £10, and it was decided to allow him 45 on account.- Dr. Neale drew attention to the necessity of getting a stretcher, and and it was decided, on the propo- sition of Mr. Lewis, seconded by Dr. Treharne, to procure one of the St. John's Ambulance Society pattern. The cost, probably, will be £ 16 or je20. -The Cardiff Rural Sanitary Authority wrote asking permission of the Board to make use of the Barry quarantine grounds off Sully, and on the proposition of Mr. Thomas (Sully), seconded by Mr. Benjamin Lewis, it was decided that Dr. O'Donnell. Dr. Treharne, Dr. Neale. General Lee, and Mr. William Thomas (Barry) should be a deputation to arrange with the authorities to take charge of the waters as far as the Aberthaw River, as suggested by the Clerk, who said that if this was done the Board would not be put to any additional expense, whilst they would have a substantial contribution from the district concerned.—A letter was read from the Superintendent of Customs granting permission to the Medical Officer and Inspector of Nuisances to board ships immediately on their arrival.—The Clerk said he had written the letter, as their inspector had really acted illegally in boarding ships before a Customs officer had visited the ship -It was decided to inspect the Flat Holm again on Thursday, the whole of the Board to be invited.—This concluded all the busi- ness of importance. .4.

Mrs. Barnett asked what she wanted, and she said, "Xothing." She ordered her out. and de- fendant then tried to pull her out and struck her on the head with her fist. She had had some little differences with defendant when they were neigh- bours.—Questioned by defendant, prosecutrix said she was not drunk, but the day before she had gone to defendant's house and taken same rum. milk, and an egg there, as the doctor had ordered her.— Geo. Jewell, a lad, gave confirmatory evidence.— The cross-summons was next heard. On the day in question, Mrs. Jeanes said when she went to de- fendant's shop defendant was in the kitchen, but flew out and caught hold of her by her bosom.

The wound must have been caused by a sharp instru- ment. There was a contused wound at the back of the left ear, caused probably by a blunt instru- ment. He dressed both wounds.

ALLEGED STABBING AT CADOXTON.
ALLEGED STABBING AT CADOXTON. At the Penarth Police-court on Monday, before Major Thornley and Mr. T. R. Thompson, John Morse, labourer, of .Tenner-street, was charged with unlawfull v stabbing- a firemaD, named Martin Gorman, in Vere-street, Cadoxton, on Saturday night last.—Prosecutor said he was a fireman, living at 12, Holme-street. On Saturday night, about 7.30, he was walking down Vere-street, and saw defendant standing at the corner. He had previously seen defendant at the Wenvoe Arms about seven o'clock. Defendant was there drink- ing. He (prosecutor) said nothing, but a man with whom he was, named Morris, had a quarrel with defendant. They had been in the Wenvoe ten minutes before he began to quarrel, which was caused by defendant taking some letters out of Morris's pocket. They fought, but pro- secutor didn't join in. He (Morris) left the Wenvoe, but prisoner went out before them. When about 10 yards away from the doorway they saw prisoner. It was quite daylight. When they got near defendant he rushed at Morris with a knife (produced) in his right hand. He struck at Morris with the knife, and Morris put up his right hand to save himself. Witnessed inter- fered, and took the knife from defendant. As he was taking away the knife, defendant said, Let go. or you'll get it." He would not let go, and defendant struck at him and cut him on the back of the left hand. Witness took away the knife and went for a policeman. They afterwards found the prisoner at his home, and gave him in custody. Defendant's house was very near. Morris helped him to take the knife away, but did not strike defendant nor did lie (prosecutor)^ They did not use any violence towards defendant. He ({prose- cutor) had had his hand seen to by a medical man. He had had a few glasses — about six or seven glasses—during the day, but was not drunk nor was Morris. When at the Wenvoe he shared two quarts of beer with four other men. Defendant seemed to have had a few glasses of beer in him.—John Morris, sailor, 12. Holme-street, said that on the evening of Saturday he wentintothe Wenvoe Arms with Martin Gorman. He saw defendant there, and he quarrelled with him because he took a letter from his pocket. The had a fight. and defendant left the hotel. He and Gorman went out about 10 minutes afterwards. They saw defendant at the corner of a street 30 yards away. They went down the street, and when near prisoner witness saw a knife in defendant's hand, and rushed towards him. He could not say whether defendant rushed at him, as he was so excited. He caught hold of defendant, and Gorman caught him by the wrist and tried to take the knife away. Defendant had not time to do anything with the knife, nor could he say that defendant rushed at him to stab him. lie saw Gorman's hand bleeding, but did not see his hand cut. It might have been done in the struggle. He did not hear defendant threaten to stab Gorman. There was a lot of shouting going on. The scufYb was a very short one.—Dr. Tre- lnrllo said he examined the prosecutor on Satur- day evening about eight o'clock. There was a cut on his left hand about an inch long and half an inch deep. The cut was not a serious one, and it might have been done in the icuflie.-The Bench dismissed the case, cautioning the defendant as to his future conduct.
THE BARRY WORKING MEN'S REGATTA.
THE BARRY WORKING MEN'S REGATTA. ¡ i On Saturday afternoon a most successful regatta, originated by the Barry working men, was held on Saturday last in the Barry Harbour. The weather was of a most favourable character, and the races was of a most favourable character, and the races were witnessed by large numbers of people. The approaches to the scene of the regatta were deco- rated with lines of streamers and flags, giving a very festive air to the proceedings. The committee, comprising Messrs. W. Busher, J. Durman, B. Harris. D. Herbert, F. Midler, and R. Pearce. with Mr. Rees Jones as hon. sec, had worked energeti- cally to make the regatta the success which it un- doubtedly was. The Barry Town Brass Band, under the leadership of Mr. T. Morgan, played a selection of music during the afternoon. The various races were well contested, that which ex- cited most amusement being the duck race. For half an hour the duck, a wily bird, kept its would- be capturers well employed. Sometimes, just as they seemed on the point of capturing it, the duck would dive and come up some distance away, evoking roars of laughter from the spectators at the ridiculous figures caused by the pursuers. Captain Murrell acted as referee, and Mr. F. E. Collins, in the unavoidable absence of Mr. J. Webb, acted as starter. One pleasing feature of the regatta was the entire absence of any disputes as to the racing, on which fact the committee and officials are to be congratulated, as it was no doubt owing to the efficient arrangements they had made. It is to be hoped that the committee will make the working men's regatta an annual fixture, and we feel sure they will have the support and co-opera- tion of the residents of the district if they do so. The programme of events was as follows :— Open-Boat Sailing Race, confined to Barry Harbour.—1st prize. £ 2 2nd, £ 1 3rd, 10s. Six cntries.-1, Rose (Mr. J.

SANITATION AT BARRY.
SANITATION AT BARRY. PROPERTY OWNERS AND THE LOCAL BOARD. OBJECTION TO A BYE-LAW. One of the bye-laws of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board provides that a flushing apparatus should be attached to every water-closet erected in the district. This bye-law was adopted by the Local Board and sanctioned by the Local Government Board in October. 1889. At that time there was no means of enforcing the bye-law. as there was no proper drainage system in existence. The bye-law was. therefore, necessarily in abey- ance for a time. When the district was provided with a drainage system the Local Board endeavoured to enforce the bye-law. Such a determined resistance was offered, however, by some of the property owners that the bye-law still remained practically a dead letter. Owing to the continued representations of the Health Committee, the Board have lately determined to enforce the bye-law, and to take proceedings against all property-owners who would refuse to comply with it. At the last meeting of the Board a deputation of property-owners waited on the Board, and asked the members of the Board to allow the bye-law to continue in abeyance. On Friday night a public meeting was held at Salem Baptist Church, Barry Dock, to discuss the best means of inducing' the Board not to enforce the bye-law. Mr. D. Gibbon was in the chair, and was supported by Messrs. E. Phillips. E. Hutchings, J. White. E. O. Evans, J. Jones, Loughor. David Davies, and the Rev. G. Llechidon Williams.— After a spirited and somewhat heated discussion, Mr. Edward Phillips proposed, and Mr. J. Jones seconded, that a deputation be appointed to wait on the Board next Tuesday, and ask them to keep the bye-law in abeyance. It was, however, pointed out that the Board had no power to do this, but would be compelled by the Local Government Board to enforce the byelaws which had been adopted. It was therefore determined to appoint a deputation of nine property owners to present a memorial to the Board at the next Meeting to the effect that the bye-law in question weighed very heavily and very unnecessarily on the property owner of',the district that it had been passed at a time previous to the completion of the proper drainage system that it had not been enforced during the construction of most of the houses, when it would have been comparatively easy and cheap to comply with it. and that the old system of flushing was preferable to the system proposed to be adopted by the Board. On Saturday the memorial was taken to every property owner in the district, and was extensively signed.
BREACH OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT…
BREACH OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT. THE DINAS POWIS HIGHWAY BOARD AND I THEIR LATE SURVEYOR. The Penarth magistrates (Major Thornley, in the chair, and Mr. T. R. Thompson) had before them on Monday a case in which Mr. E. Raymond Lewis, late district surveyor of the Dinas Powis Highway Board, was summoned by Mr. George H. Brett, public auditor of the South Wales District, for neglecting to submit his books of accounts, as sur- veyor, for examination at the last audit. Mr. H. P. Linton, solicitor, Aberdare, appeared for the prosecution, and in opening the case said the offence with which the defendant was charged was a serious one against the Local Government Act Order of 1879. As Highway Board surveyor, it was his duty to make regular entries of all wages paid by him iuto a book, and immediately after the 24th of March each year he should balance such accounts, in readiness for the annual audit. On the 13th of August the audit was held, but Mr. Lewis did not produce his accounts on that occa- sion. Mr. Lewis attended the audit personally, however, and stated that ho had not made up the accounts as he had been ill. The offence, Mr. Linton repeated, was a serious one, and the Legis- Linton repeated, was a serious one, and the Legis- lature took a similar view of the matter, but he I was sorry that, Mr. Lewis did not take such a serious view of the case. The penalty laid down in the Act for the first offence under this head was E5, £ 10 for the sccond, and £ 20 for the third offence. being a misdemeanour. Mr. Cole, clerk in the employ of Mr. G. II. Brett, said on the ISth July last ho served the defendant with a notice of the audit, a copy of the same notice being published in the Cardiff papers on the 29th. The notice to Mr. Lewis was sent by pre-paid registered post, and had not been returned to him from the dead-letter office. Mr. Lewis was then surveyor to thtf Dinas Powis Highway Board, and had held the office for several years, so that he was fully aware of his duties. He attended the audit with Mr. Brett on the 13th of August. Mr. Lewis also at Leaded, and pleaded that he had been unable to produce the books, as he had been ill, and had not balanced them. The books should have been made up within a fortnight after the 25th of March. In reply to the charge, Mr. Lewis, while ad- mitting the offence, said in extenuation than in July defendant met with an accident, a tree having fallen upon him, and he was confined to the house for some time in consequence. He balanced the books within a fortnight after the audit. Under these circumstances he hoped the bench would deal leniently with him, and impose as small a penalty as possible. Fined 40s. and costs.
