I GWILYM taken two bottles, and already find great relief.

Mil DISTRICT MIS. ,J, 'J'J- J, BARRY. SEVERN DIVISION SUBMARINE MINERS' BALL. —This ball took place at the Assembly-rooms of the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Friday night last, and was a brilliant success. There was a large attendance, and a well-arranged programme of dances was gone through to the strains of Mr. P. J. Roberts's string band. The Assembly rooms had been very charmingly decorated for the occasion by Messrs. Howell and Company. The windows were hung with tent coralis and palms, and plants were placed about the room. The corridors were draped into alcoves with cream muslin curtains, and were provided with lounges. The stairway was nicely carpeted, and the corner were decorated with plants and evergreens. Shortly after eight the fiat went forth, On with the dance, let joy be unconfined," and fair women and brave men tripped the light fantastic toe until the early hours of the morning. Among the officeIs present were Major Thorn'ey, Captain Thornley, Captain Thornley, Captain E. F. Lynch-Blosse, Lieutenants Thornley, Hughes, Flint, Cable, and F. C. Lloyd, Surgeon-captain Reed, Surgeon-captain Edwards, and Quartermaster Newman. All the officers were in uniform, and the blending of colours during the "giddy mazes of the dance" was charming. Among the guests were Mrs. Thornley and the Misses Thornley, Mr. Lascelles Carr, Miss Lascelles Carr, and Miss Ettie Lascelles Carr Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Jackson, Dr. Thomas- and Mrs. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Jotham Captain Lindsay, Mr. Ensor. jun., and Mrs. Ensor Mn and Mrs. Couth, Bridgend Miss Ferrier, Penarth the Misses Collingwood, and the Misses Stead; and! Mr. Board. T ENTERTAINMENT AT THE PARISH-HALL.—On Saturday evening the usual weekly entertainment was held in the Parish-hall. The Rev. Mr. Du Heaume presided over a sparse but appreciative audience, and a good programme of songs were rendered by Miss Morgan. Mr. Williams, Miss Lester, and Mr. A. L. M. Bonn, the latter gentleman gaining an encore for his spirited rendering of the popular German song, "The watch on the Rhine." The Barry String Band afforded much pleasure by the rendering of selections, includ- ing the Hoch Hapshurg March," Love's old sweet song," The white and goid gavotte." "Primavera," &c. CONVERSAZIONE AT THE PARISH HALL.—As we briefly intimated last week, on Wednesday, Feb. 1st, aeon versazione will be fielol in the Parish Hall. As is usual at these entertainments, the hall will be transformed into a huge drawing-room. Draperies will adorn the walls, whilst tasteful and comfortable seats, lounges, &c., will be placed in the room. Refresh- ments of a light character will be handed around, and music and readings will be rendered by various ladies and gentlemen, amongst whom will be found Mr. Edward Davies, elocutionist, and humourous songster, of Cardiff (a gentleman who will be remembered by most Barry residents' with favour). The services of Mr. Jenkins, the noted baritone of Cardiff (pupil of Madame Clara Novella Davies and Mr. Jacob Davies) has been specially engaged. Mr. A. Rees will act as accompanist. CORRECTION.—The dinner held on Saturday week evening, was that the Barry String Band, not the Barry Railway Band, as was inadvertently stated. LOCAL SUCCESSES.—At the recent examination of the London College of Music, Miss Clarice Johnson, pupil of Miss Barton, 94, Richmond-road, Cardiff, Sue- ceeded in passing in theoretical music in a very credit- able manner. The highest number of marks obtain- able were 100, and the necessary number to secure a pass 65, and Miss Johnson, who is only 11 years of age. obtained the highest number of marks at the exami- nation, 96. MISSION SERVICES.-The Rev. J. Snell delivered several mission addresses at Barry on Sunday last. Sunday morning he preached in the Parish Church, and in the afternoon the children connected with the Parish Church and St. Paul's Sunday Schools, assembled at St. Paul's, where they were addressed by Mr. Snell. An interesting feature of the address in the afternoon was the exhibition of a Chinese exami- nation parchment sent Mr. Snell from China, for the purpose of showing children at these services. In the evening Mr. Snell preached at St. Paul's Church. Col- lections were taken at the close of each service in aid of the Mission Fund. YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.— Special mission services will be held in connection with the above Association on Monday, the 23rd inst., at the Welsh Congregational Church, Barry (late the Public-hall), and on the four following days at the Presbyterian Chapel, High-street, Barry. Mr. Edgar Fennell, Evangelist, Newport, will deliver a Gospel address each evening. DISORDERLY CHARACTER.—At the office of Mr. J. W. Morris, clerk to the Penarth justices, High- street, Cardiff, on Tuesday—before Mr. J. S. Corbett and Mr. John Duncan—Denis McCarthy, a fireman, was charged with being drunk an.l disorderly at Barry on Monday evening. — The evidence of Police- constable Oliver Davies went to show that he found prisoner very drunk in Barry Dock-road, and indecently exposing himself. The officer reduested him to go away, but he became very abusive, and challenged him to fight. Witness had to procure the assistance of another constable before he could take him into cus- tody. During his confinement in the cells he was very disorderly, and that morning threw a bucket of water over one of the sergeants.—Prisoner now said he was sorry, and desired to be given one more chance, but the magistrates eventually sent him to prison for three days with hard labour. GRAND OONCERT.-On Saturday next a grand con- cert, which will be undoubtedly one of the best ever held in the district, will take place at the Parish-hall. From an advertisement in another column it will be seen that Miss Boulton Gray, the celebrated mandolinist from the Crystal Palace, will play selections on the mandoline. Miss Kate Williams, Miss Sorenson, Mr. Louis Giles, Mr. E. S. Johnson, and Mr. Percy Phillips, are the soloists, and their names is a sufficient guarantee for their songs. Addi- tional interest is lent by the appearance in Barry of Mr. Phillips, who is half-back of the Newport team, and who played in the International Match on Saturday week last. Miss Mildred Waters. the child elocutionist will appear, and her recitations will be a treat to listen to. Of Mr. J. H. Davey, the Cardiff humorous singer, but little needs be said, he is so well-known to mest Barryites. Miss Edith Parton, R.A.M., is the piano soloist, and Mons. Henri de Boer, the Barry vielist, will also play. Mr. E. S. Johnson is responsible for the getting up of the concert, and we trust his efforts will be recognised by the attendance of a large numbers at the concert. EXTENSION OF TIME.—Mr. Davies, of the Barry Hotel, was granted an extension of time to-night (Friday), on the occasion of the lawn tennis ball, at the Barry Dock Police-court yesterday. DISCUSSION CLASS.—Papers were to have been read by the Rev. Mr. Daniels and Mr. Watkin Wil- liams on "Is Deception Justifiable?" at the Presby- terian Discussion Class on Monday evening. From some unexplained cause, neither gentlemen turned un. However, a very interesting debate took place on the initiative of the Rev. Christmas Lewis, joined in by Mrs. Lewis (the Bank), Captain Davies, Mr. Owen Lewis, Mr. Morris, Mr. Sharwood, &c. STAR OF BARRY" LODGE I.O.G.T.-The usual weekly meeting of the above lodge was held in the Sea View Restaurant, Barry, on Tuesday evening. The chair was occupied by Bro. Henry Richards After the business w;,s transacted, tbe following Brothers delivered addresses: Bro. Nelson of the "Good Samaritan Lodge, Swansea Bro. Robins, Paniers, Ward, Richards, Rees, and Stoaker. The lodge closed in due form at 9.30. As a new quarter is about to .commence it is most desirable that all per- sons who contemplate joining should communicate with the lodge deputy, Mr. Joseph Robins, 35, High- street, Barry, or the secretary, Mr. J. T. Sherwood, Queen-street, Barry. IT WILL PAY YOU to have yeur Watch and Clock Repairs done by a practical Watchmaker. This you can do by sending your Watch and Clock Repairs to W. COOMBS, Market Chambers, Barry, 10 years first-class experience, late with Mr J Hettich 60 Queen-street, Cardiff fgo That tired feeling" that troubles you so often indicates a disordered Liver, and may lead to very painful symptoms, such as depressed spirits, or con- firmed melancholy. Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters by removing the cause soon banishes the symptoms, and revives the spirits. See advt. page. [10 BARRY DOCK. V AGRANCY.-At the office of Mr. J. W. Morris, clerk to the Penarth justices, High-street, Cardiff, on Monday—before Mr. John Duncan—two. labourers, named Michael Kelly and James McLeod were' charged with vagrancy at Barry Dock on the 12th inst. -Poliee-collstu.ble David Davies said that on Thurs- day evening he observed prisoners in Aberthow- terrace going from door to door begging. Witness went to the prisoners, who said that they were hard up and wanted a copper to get a night's lodgings. They had only recently come from Tredegar, McLeod saying that he had been employed at the steel works at the latter place for five years. Several complaints had been received from residents of vagrancy in the dis- trict, and witness took both men into custody. On McLeod witness found 4d., while Id. was discovered on KeHy.-Accused. were now discharged with a warning not to oSend again. ° ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY.—On Monday aftejnooa a collision occurred on the lower level iin.3 near the bridge between two engines. One of them. No. 53, hid her coal bunk smashe 1 in, and the driver had a i er narrow escape. NEW RAILWAY COMPANY OFFICES.-We learn that it :'s t ie intention of the Barry Railw y C m ny shortly to open a large general office in Cardiff. The Taff Vale and Rhymney Companies have seen the advantage of having offices at Cardiff Docks, and the newer company is, we understand, about to follow their example. Negotiations are proceeding for the acquisition of an extensive suite of rooms in the new portion of the Exchange, Mount Stuart-square, that is now in course of erection. It is hoped that the entire structure will be completed and ready for occupation by the end of the summer, and if the arrangements proceed satisfactorily the Barry Company will then enter into occupation. We understand that it is not in contemplation to transfer the head office from Barry to Cardiff; but by reason of its position in the very centre of the commercial activity of the port, the new office must become one of great value and importance to the company. YOUNG WALES SOCIETY.—A meeting of this Society was held last Tuesday evening at Rosser's Coffee House, in Holton-road, when the President (the Rev. J. W. Matthews) presided. The matter of St. David's Day celebration was again considered, and it was decided to have a public supper at Harry's Restaurant, and that tickets for the same be forthwith prepared and offered to the general public, and it is to be hoped that they will be taken up early and gene- rally, so that the spacious rooms at the command of the Society may be comfortably filled. We may also men- tion that the fees for joining the Society for the re- mainder of this session have been reduced to 6d. for males and 3d. for females. In the unavoidable absence of J'vlr. J. R. Llewellyn, who had consented to read a paper upon the "Proposed University for Wales," the subject was discussed by Dr. Lloyd Edwards and the Rev. W. Williams, C.M., Cadoxton, the latter espe- cially contending that its degree-granting powers should not be cenfined to the sciences and arts, but should include law, medicine, and theology. The dis- cussion was adjourned to Tuesday next. REV. PROFESSOR HARTWELL JONES, M.A., AT THE WELSH CHURCH.—On Sunday evening next at 6.30 the Rev. G. Hartwell Jones, M.A., professor of languages at the University College of Soutt Wales, Cardiff, and vicar-elect of the important living of Nuffield, Surrey, will preach at the Welsh Church, Holton-road, Barry Dock. CADOXTON. AN ENTERPRISING CITIZEN.-Last week a series of social teas were given by Mr. George Garnett, at his extensive and convenient new premises in Barry- road. On Thursday, at 6.30, about 20 trade secretaries andothers sat down to a plenteous and substantial repast, being waited upon by Mrs. Garnett and Mrs. Below, following while a numerous body of the un- employed residents were cheered with tea, cake, &o.— On Saturday evening all the secretaries of the different trades of the district also joined Mr. Garnett. Amongst those present we noticed Mr. John Rees (secretary of the Trades' Council), Mr.lThomaa Thomas (assistant-secretary), Mr. Thomas Dyke (masons' sec- retary), Mr. Isaac Lovell (Dockers' secretary), Mr. Pitt, Mr. David Griffiths, Mr. S. Jones, Mr. Garnett, Mr. Llewellyn (one of Mr. Garnett's employes), &c. Letters expressing regret at being unable to attend were received from Mr. Lowdon (chairman of the School Board), Mr H. Brown (Engineers' Society) Mr. W. M. Howell (Boilermakers' Society), Mr. John C. Prince, R.P.C. (Plumbers' Soeiety). The main object of the gathering was to celebrate the advent of the weaving industry in the Barry district. In South Glamorgan, and especially in Cadoxton-Barry, the art of weaving is almost unknown. Mr. Garnett, there- fore, has displayed an exceptional spirit of enterprise in embarking on new premises, as well as employing most efficient labour. We trust that this, the latest of our speculations, will not be allowed to die from want of patronage. Mr. Benjamin Lewis has set a noble example in this respect by purchasing a large quantity of Welsh serge and other materials. Many of the western towns, possessing half the population of Barry, have Weavers' Societies with a membership of from 50 to 80. Samples of work produced at Mr. Garnett's premises were shown to the visitors, and much admired. Speeches were delivered by Messrs. J. Rees, T. Thomas, 1. Lovell, and Mr. Garnett.-A hearty of thanks was passed to Mr. Garnett for his kind invita- tion, on the motion of Mr. Pitt—After the visitors had inspected the various weaving appliances, the company dispersed, a social and edifying evening having been spent. DANGEHOUS PRACTICE.-About noon on Tuesday a fire of a threatening character broke out in the cot- tage No. 6, Gilbert-street, Cadoxton-Barry, and the building only narrowly escaped being burnt to the ground. It appears that the occupants, Charles Blow, labourer, and his wife, left home for Cardiff in the morning, leaving their children at home in charge of the house. One of the children-a little girl-in the absence of her parents, while cleaning about the fire- place in the kitchen, carried some hot cinders from under the grate to the coal cellar under the stairs. The cinders must have set the coal on fire, for in a short time the woodwork about the staircase was found to be on fire. The children raised an alarm, and the neighbours came quickly to their aid, but not before the staircase had been firmly got hold of by the flames. So threatening was the fire that police assistance was summoned, and Acting-sergeant B. Davies and another constable soon came upon the scene. Fire extinguishing appliances and water being freely obtainable they were not long before success- fully getting the fire under. Much damage was done, but the loss to furniture was not covered by insurance, although the damage to the house is believed to be thus provided for. The parents did not return until after the outbreak had been suppressed. RESUMPTION OF SCHOLASTIC DUTIES. — The Court School resumed duties on Monday last. There is everyi prospect during the coming term of srood work being accomplised, and we would advise parents and guardians who are in search of "a thoroughly good school for their daughters and wards to communicate with the principal, Miss Small, at once. ST. DAVID'S LODGE I.O.G.T.-An open session of the above lodge was held in the Shaftesbury Temper- ance Hotel, Iddesleigh-street, on Thursday evening last. Bro. W. E. H. Fellows, District Secretary, occupied the chair. A most excellent address was given by the Chairman, after which the following programme was gone through in a most satisfactory manner:—Pianoforte solo, Sister Holloway; solo, Sister Harper; recitation, Sister Miliar solo, Sister Holloway recitation, Sister Dure (jun.), solo, Sister L. Attwood; reading, Bro. Wallace Davies; solo, Bro. H. Richards; recitation, Bro. Panniers; solo, Sister Gear; address, Bro. Stanbury; humorous reading, Bro. B. Lewis; solo, Bro. Smith; solo, Sister Lewis recitation, Bro. Tucker solo, Bro. T. B. Thomas solo, Sister Attwood; The members of the above lodge will heartily welcome anyone who may feel desirous of joining. Applica- tion may be made to the Lodge-deputy, Mr. Henry Richards, Alpha House, Castleland street, Barry Dock the secretary, Mr. B. Lewis, Barry-road, Cadox- ton or any officer or member of the Lodge. A new quarter commences on February 2nd, therefore the present is a very favourable time to join. SINGULAR ROBBERY OF MEAT.—A most impu- dent robbery was committed on Friday evening at the shop of Mr. E. David, butcher, Cadoxton-Barry. It appears that Mr. David temporarily left the shop and went into the house, but when he returned he missed a piece of meat weighing about 301b. Information of the robbery was given to the police, but no arrest has as yet been effected. WESLEYAN MUTUAL IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY. -At a meeting of the above society at the Wesleyan Chapel, on Wednesday evening last, there were present Mr. T. T. Thomas, Mr. B. Lewis, jun., Mr. Gear, Mr. Wensley, Mr. L. Hughes, Misses Lewis, Misses Wensley, and others. It was unanimously resolved that Mr. T. S. Thomas be elected chairman. The subject for the consideration of lhe meeting was Tobacco," which was introduced by Mr. B. Lewis, jun., Barry-road. A very interesting discussion took place, and at the end of the debate a division was taken as to whether the use of tobacco was advisable, and the result was :—For the use of tobacco, 3 against the use of tobacco, 14. Mr. B. Lewis said that he was very pleased to see more against the use of tobacco than for it. The meeting then terminated. The members spent a very enjoyable evening. PENARTH. A SUCCESSFUL PROPHET.—A very remarkable prediction of the School Board poll in Cardiff was made by Mr. G. L. Norris, of Windsor-road, Penarth. Mr. Norris worked out the figures, and at ] 1 o'clock on Wednesday handed the statement, under seal, to Mr. Matthews, Plymouth-road, Penarth. The pre- diction had reference only to Unsectarian candidates and the following figures will show that it was a singularly accurate forecast: Votes said to Poll. Actual Poll. John Cory 7,000 7,322 T. Wallace 6,800 6,713 L. Williams 6,700 6,650 David Jones. 6,600 6,273 Dr. Edwards. 6,500 5,688 Rev. J. M. Jones. 6,000 5.780 Rev. A. Tilly 5,900 5^603 J. Gardner 5,600 5,531 Total 51,100 49,560 The comparative accuracy of the prediction is the more noteworthy when one recollects that Mr. Norris had to provide for the accumulative vote, and for the apathy of the electorate in regard to the contest. FEEDING POOR CHILDREN.—The schoolroom of the Tabernacle Baptist Chapel, Plassey-street, has been during the last week the rendezvous of over 2,000 children, who have been the recipients of free soup dinners dispensed by Mr. Cornwall, assisted by his family and friends of the chapel. So great has been the distress in the distlic. through the recent strike and severe weather that an appeal was made on Sunday in all the Dissenting places of worship in Penarth on behalf of these poor children. The appeal was liberally responded to, so that this means of alleviatiug the distress, initiated and gratuitously carried on by Mr. Cornwall since Christmas, but which he would otherwise have been compelled to stop last week, has now been enthusiastically taken up by the various chapels and a committee formed to continue it. LLANDOUGH. SEASONALBE BENEVOLENCE.—Mr. John Duncan, J.P., of Llwyn-yr-Eryr, Llandough, has generously given the Rector of the united parishes of Llandough, Leckwith, and Cogan, a truck of coal, which has been distributed during the past week amongst the poor of these parishes irrespective of creed. POST-OFFICE NOTICE.—Commencing with Monday next, a new mail will- be despatched from Cardiff to Llandough for delivery in the village, &c., at 1.40 p.m. BRIDGEND. POLICE PROMOTIONS.—Sergeant Davies, of Maes- teg, has been promoted to be an inspector, and P.C. Prosser, of Tondu, has been made acting-sergeant. GAME TRESPASS.—On Saturday—before Mr. R. Llewellyn (chairman), Mr. W. S. Powell, and Mr. C. P. Davies-two men, named Edward Davies and David Cullis, colliers, both of Cwmavon, were oharged with the above offence. Two constables proved seeing de- fendants on the lands of Mr. Pendarvis, and Davies, who had a previous record, was fined £ 2 and Cullis XI. LLANTWIT. MAJOR. A FIFTH CENTURY UNIVERSITY.—At the usual weekly meeting of the Cardiff Naturalists' Society on Thursday night a paper by Dr. Alfred C. Fryer, Ph.D., M.A., of Clifton, was read, entitled, Llantwit- Major A Fifth Century University." The president (Mr. C. T. Whitmell, M.A.) occupied the chair. The writer of the paper gave a very careful description in detail of the university or school, instituted by St. Illtyd Varchog at Llantwit-Major in the fifth century, and an interesting discussion was opened by Mr. G. Hartwell Jones, M.A., whilst Mr. Storrie and the Rev. W. E. Winds also took part. The proceedings closed with the usual votes of thanks. INSTITUTE MEETING. On Monday night the weekly meeting of the above took place at the Institute .room. Readings and recitations were giveu by the members, and the secretary announced that several gentlemen would give a series of lectures during the winter. MISSION SERVICES.—On Friday Sergeant Barker concluded his 14 day's mission in the town. It is pro- posed to have a further mission of 14 to 21 days in February.
LATE CORRESPONDENCE.
LATE CORRESPONDENCE. BARRY TIMBER IMPORTS. TO THEEDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. DEAR SIR,-From a report of the local daily papers of the year's import of timber into Cardiff we notice a mis-statement as to our shipments, two cargoes only been accredited to us, whereas it should have been four. To avoid, therefore, the same error appearing in your issue, we beg to say our imports were as follows :—4 vessels, 1812 registered tonnage, and 3003 loads, and shall be glad if you will kindly give this request your attention, and oblige. We have written to the daily papers.—Yours &c., ROBERTS AND CO.
COURT CADOXTON 7742 A.O.F
COURT CADOXTON 7742 A.O.F The opening of the new room of this Court at the Victoria Hotel, Barry Dock, took place on Wednesday nisrht, and was largely attended. District Chief Ranger Bro. Chappell presided, and there were also present D.S.C.R., Bro. Tucker; D.T., Bro. Spiller; P.D.C.R., Bro. Bowen; C.B.,Bro. Taylor; S.C.R., Bro. Bayliss; treasurer, Bro. Townsend district secretary, Bro. Loyns, &c. In opening the meeting the District Chief Ranger congratulated the Court on its selection of a room, and trusted that it would be a good home in the future for the Court, and would mean a large increase in the number of members.—The district secretary dwelt on the question of the juvenile branch as being a thoroughly good recruit- ing ground for the mother Court. All those between the ages of 14 and 16 could join the juvenile branch by calling on Dr. O'Donnell, and getting a certificate from him. These they should take to his house, 43, Kingsland-cres- cent, and he hoped many would do so.—Addresses were also delivered by the district officers, each of whom dwelt upon the advisability of unity and mentioned that the Court was increasing numeri- cally, and had a balance in hand of £55 during the nine months which the present district secre- tary had been in office.-After the business was over, Bros. Bayliss, Austin, Farmer, Loyns, and Stephens contributed songs, and an enjoyable even- ing was spent.—The proceedings closed with the usual votes of thanks.
ACTION BY. THE BARRY RAILWAY…
ACTION BY. THE BARRY RAILWAY COMPANY. At the Cardiff County Court, held before Judge Owen at the Town-hall on Thursday, an action was brought by the Barry Railway Company against Messrs. Montgomery and Workman, shipowners, for the recovery of A38 15s. 2d. for the carriage of a cargo of loam.—Mr. Bailha.che appeared for the plaintiff company, and Mr. Ingledew represented the defendants. The case for the plaintiff showed that, so*me time in April last, the defendants arranged to carry a cargo of loam to Cardiff, the memorandum stating that the cargo should be conveyed as far as the port of Cardiff. It was 'understood by the consignee that the vessel would be dis- charged in either the Bast-Bute or the Roath Dock. She, however, did not arrive in Cardiff at all, but it transpired that she had been chartered for her outward voyage by the Glamorgan Colliery Com- pany. The shipments for the company were to take place at Barry Dock, and it was assumed that in order to meet the mutual convenience of the charterers on the outward voyage and the captain of the ship, she proceeded to Barry Dock discharged the cargo there. The plain- tiff company conveyed the cargo to its destination. The ship had been run into Barry Dock in order that it might be given better despatch, hence the reason for the owners being sued, and not the consignees.—Mr. Robert Duncan, the commercial manager of the Glamorgan Col- liery Company, said he met the representatives of tha shipowners, and suggested the adTisabilityof the vessel going into Barry Dock. He agreed to pay half the cost of any extra expense which might be entailed.—His Honour said it appeared to him the claim must fall through. Prima facie the persons who were liable to the railway company were those who gave the order-the Glamorgan Colliery Company. He non-suited the plaintiffs with costs.
BARRY DOCK POLICE COURT.
BARRY DOCK POLICE COURT. 0 YESTERDAY.—Before Mr. John Duncan and Mr. Howells. FELONY.-Emma Simpkins was charged by Edward Taylor, a boarding-house keeper, Regent- street, Barry Dock. with stealing various goods belonging to him of the value of 20s.-Prosecutor said the prisoner had been lodging with him, and left on the 6th inst. After she left he missed two sheets, table-cloth, blanket, two aprons, basket, cloak, and quilt, things which defendant had been given to wash the day before. He saw them afterwards in the pawn shop of Mr. Barnett, Cadoxton, on the 16th, and the goods produced he identified as the same.-Frederick Loose, Mr. Barnett's assistant, said the defendant pawned two sheets and a table-cloth with him on the 16th inst,.
