Police-Sergeant Ben Davies deposed that on the night in question he saw defendant very drunk in Hunter-street knocking .at the door of a house. As he refused to go away, he took him in charge. Police-constable George Phillips corroborated. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and in extenuation Sergeant Davies mentioned that when out of drink Burns was all right, and had several times j assisted the police.

ALLEGED SERIOUS ASSAULT. AT BRIDGEND. At Bridgend Police-court on Saturday, William Lewis, collier, 14. Ivor-street, Maesteg (who was defended by Mr. R. Scale), was charged with doing grievous bodily harm to William Stephens, .labourer, his next-door neighbour, on the 10th inst. Defendant (recently left a widower, went out on the evening in question, putting his three children to bed, and leaving them for some hours. One of the children, a baby, began to cry bitterly, and Stephens, at the desire of the neighbours, entered the house by means of a ladder through one of the windows, and found the child had fallen out of bed, and the police were called. Defendant on his return quarrelled with Stephens, and, it is alleged, kicked him in a dangerous part of the body. Dr. Massie and other witnesses having given evidence, defendant waa committed for trial at the quarter sessions, bail being' allowed.

Williams, of Penarth, who did not appear, was charged on the information of Police-constable Beaden with allowing two horses to stray.

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST BOARDING-HOUSEKEEPERS. THE BOARD OF TRADE PROSECUTE. At the Penarth Police Court on Monday (before General Lee, in the chair, Mr. Pyke Thompson, and Major Thornley), Harry Smith, a boarding-house keeper of Barry, was charged at the instance of the Board of Trade (for whom Mr. Vachell appeared), with an infringement of Section 147 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1854, He having placed a man not a sailor on the Gwenllian Thomas, lying at Barry Dock, and he not being a person authorised to do so, and representing him as a seaman able to do his duty, the fact being that the man had never performed any duties on board ship. Another count charged him with illegally keeping £ 2 due to Donovan. John Donovan, a labourer, who came from Ire- land to Cardiff, deposed that on the 20th May he saw Harry Smith, who shipped him on the Kate Thomas. He was afterwards put in a van and taken to Barry and put on board the Gwenllian Thomas. He shipped at R3 per month. The captain gave him an advance of £ 2. He went on board and went to sea. He got the employment through defendant, and for his advance note de- fendant only gave him a cap (produced.) Defendant did not appear, and a warrant was issued for the defendant's arrest. Three other cases against defendant was adjourned. j ANOTHER CASE. William Gregory, boarding-house keeper, of 28, Eveleen-street, Cardiff, was charged, at the instance of the Board of Trade (for whom Mr. Vachell appeared) sec. 255 of the Merchants'Shipping Act, 1854-a section which provided that any person on being employed as a seaman gives a wrong name of his last ship renders himself liable to a penalty not exceeding £ 5—with giving a wrong name. It appears that on the 10th Gregory shipped himself on board the British ship Rion as Harry Scott. The practice, rather prevalent, said Mr. Vachell, was for the boarding-house keepers to signs on themselves, and then at the last moment to send one of their own men down to take their places. This was a practice which THE BOARD OF TRADE WISHED TO PUT A STOP TO. Evidence having been given by Deputy-Supt. George Frederick Brigg, and Board of Trade Constable Pearce, the case was adjourned, and a warrant issued for defendant's arrest. Mf —L)

I ALL THROUGH DRINK. A PENARTHsWOMAN SENT TO THE QUARTER SESSIONS. At the Penarth Police Court on Monday. Elizatheth Wood, widow, of 8, Granvill, Newport, charged Selena Merwzzi, of 26, Glebe-street, Penarth, with stealing £ 4 10s. from her on the 19th inst. Prosecutrix said that on the day in question she was at Penarth and met prisoner, whom she had known by sight some six months. They went into the public-house together, prosecutrix having within the body of her dress at the time 44 10s. in cash, and a deposit note for £ 300. That was farther down in her breast. After leaving the public-house the defendant invited her to go across to a house. At first prosecutrix refused, but afterwards went. She sat down in a back room on a chair, and gave prisoner A SHILLING TO GET SOME BEER. Whilst prisoners was gone she went to sleep. After sleeping about twenty minutes she woke up, and saw prisoner and another woman in the room. She soon missed her money, and accused prisoner of taking it. Prisoner denied it, and struck prosecutrix. She attempted to get out of the room, but prisoner dragged her back. She, how- ever, managed to get out, and seeing a constable gave prisoner in charge. Police-constable Driver deposed that he took prisoner and prosecutrix to the police-station. They were BOTH VERY. DRUNK, and prosecutrix complained first of being robbed of £10, but at the station said it was A4 10s., of which she had been robbed. Inspector Rutter corroborated. Kate Davies, a barmaid at the Golden Lion Hotel, Glebe-street, Penarth, said she saw prisoner come to the house on the 19th June with prosecutrix. They were both sober. It was between six and 6.30 p.m. when they came in. Prosecutrix had a brandy and peppermint, and the prisoner had two pennyworth of whisky. She saw prosecutrix take a parcel from her dress. She saw the parcel just before prosecutrix ohanged half-a-crown to pay for some second drinks. She heard prosecutrix tell prisoner she was not short of moaey. Agnes Barnett, Penarth, said defendant ilived with her. and had been for some porter. She was waiting for her to return at about seven o'clock. She brought back the porter with her, and at the latter's request she (witness) went for some beer. When she came back she heard Mrs. Wood screeching, and said she had lost 5s. From 5s. the loss went up to £10, and she charged prisoner with taking it. She ACTED LIKE A MAD WOMAN, in fact they were both drunk. Witness remarked that it must have been taken very quickly, as she had only been gone about five minutes. She had never seen the prosecutrix before. Prosecutrix was not asleep when witness went for the beer. Prisoner was sent to take her trial at the next quarter sessions. THE SEQUEL. Selena Merv/zzi and Elizabeth Woods (the prosecutrix and defendant in the last case) were then charged with being drunk and disorderly on the 19th inst., and were each fined 5s. and costs, or seven days' hard labour.

Defendant was given the alternative of paying a 5s. fine or to go to prison for five days.

IMMORALITY AT BARRY DOCK. Harriet Coles, an intelligent-looking woman, 22 years of age, was charged with solicitation for immoral purposes upon the previous day at Barry Dock. Sergt. Gammon deposed that at one a.m. on Sun- day morning he saw defendant walking Thompson- street, Barry Dock. She stopped two men and solicited them. The men walked away, and he went to her and asked her where she lived. She said "Nowhere," and stated that she had been down a week from Cardiff. Defendant said her mother and father were dead, and she had only a brother, but did not know where to find him. She was very sorry, and if the magistrates would let her off she would go back to Cardiff. Defendant having been locked up overnight was dismissed with a caution.

SAD CASE OF THEFT AGAINST AN HOTEL-KEEPER'S SON. Tom Clarke, son of Mr. B. S. Clarke, landlord of the Windsor Hotel, Penarth, was charged with the stealing of gold and silver watches and chains, the property of Mr. J. H. Ingram, jeweller, 83, Glebe-street, Penarth, on the 15th inst. Francis Robert Manning, manager for Mr. J. H. Ingram deposed that prisoner came to the shop on the 15th inst., and handed him a letter purporting to come from his father, asking him to send down a watch and chain, value about £10, which he, Mr. Clarke, wished to present to a gentleman leaving Penarth that nighc. He handed prisoner three silver watchei, the gold one, and two alberts, with pendants, in a packet, in all value £34. Witness packed them up, and told prisoner to tell his father that if they would not do he would get more for him from Cardiff. Prisoner said he would not bring them back for an hour or so. Mr. B. S. Clarke, prisoner's father, denied the authorship of the letter, and said he had never authorised prisoner to write it or get watches from Mr. Ingram. There was no presentation at his house, nor had his son ever brought him any watches. The prisoner was not living with him at the time of the theft, having left home about two months previous. The case was remanded for a week.

This school was primarily established to provide for the daughters of those who wished them to be receive at at a boarding school in the country at a fair cost a thoroughly good English education, with the usual accompaniments, and it is quite evident that its establishment has been fully justified, as is shown by the remarkable increase in the number of students under the present management; and that the school is destined to fulfil its aims by providing a good high-class education, is not only clearly evidenced by the results of outside examinations, but was most strikingly illustrated on Wednesday by the very large collection of work which was exhibited in the drill-room attached to the school.

Ai nid oes yna lanw mewn amgylchiadau dynol ag sydd yn ein gweithio i gyfyngder yn ami, gan ein gadael fel y lobster rhag-grybwylledig 1 Mae y diogyn yn dewis aros yn y fan hono, gan ddisgwyl yn barhair; am i'r don fawr ei gyrhaedd ar ei thaith yn ol, gan ei gario ar eu hysgwyddau i ganol y dyfroedd tawel; ac os na wneir hyn, gwell ganddo farw mewn diogi n80 gwneuthur unrhyw ymdrech bersonol. Mae y dya diog, fel pren Upas, yn melldithio y tir y cerddo, am ei fod yn ffieiddio gwaith yn wir, mae fel maen wedi ei rwymo wrth draed y llafurus a'r ym- drechgar, nes mae yn gorfod ei gadw yn groes hollol i'w ewyllys. Mae yfed a diogi yn wastadol ganlyn eu gilyd-d, am aad oes gan neb arall amser i'w dreulio uwchben y "dablen." Ydyw, mae y dosbarth diog yn amgylchynu drws y tafarndy fel eryrod am y gelain- Mae hyd yn nod y gwybed a'r cler yn dda i rywbeth tra nadyny y diog yn dda i ddim. Gwell yw rhai na'i' gilydd, mae'n wir; ond nid yw y byd yn cymeryd amser i dynu y llinell wahaniaethol, gan edrych arnynt oil yn blank i'r un tad. Mae rhai mor ddiog, yn wir, fel y gwuant ein diraddio am gynyg diwrnod o waith iddynt, ac eto, gyda'r un anadl, grwgnacliant ar yr amseroedd. 0 bosibl fod yr amser yn ddrwg iddynt. Tebyg mae felly y pery ar hyd eu hoes, am mai arnynt hwy eu hunain mae y bai. Fe ddywed rhai o honynt na chawsant damaid o fwyd er's dyddiau, ond cymerant ofal rhag dweyd faint o whisky a yfasant- Mae cardota yn gelfyddyd ganddynt, oherwydd maent yn rhy ddiog i weithio a'u dwylaw. Nis gellir gwneuthur dim er eu swells, Mn fod y cyfan yndybynu arnynt hwy yn bersonol.
