The Gospel of Dynamite. j? Ravachol Before the Magistrates.-His Supposed Accomplices, The Plot to Blow Up/the Spanish Senate. -Discoveries of Dynamite at Lyons and Leige. PARIS, Tuesday (Hotter).—A wooden case addressed to liavachol's supposed accomplice was stopped by the authorities yesterday. It contained two revolvers and a packet of cartridges, which came from St. Etienne. The authorities were informed of the dis- covery, and an inquiry was opened at St. litienne. Kavachol, when before the magistrates yes- terday, prided himself on being the author of an article entitled, "Public Advice," which appeared in the international two years ago, dealing with the methods of blowing up public buildings and the manufacture of explosives. Be refused all information as to his accom- plices. MADRID, Tuesday (Dalziel).—The follow- ing are some details respecting the arrest of Delboche and Ferreira, the men who were about to blow up the House of Parliament. The police bad been notified of their intention early in the morning, and bad posted detec- tives around the house inhabited by the Anarchists in question. The detectives followed them to the Chamber of Deputies and there arrested them. The bombs were loaded with fulminite of cotton, and the two men carried them concealed under their arms. From certain documents found in the possession of 'the prisoners it would seem that they intended to blow up the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, the Senate on Saturday, and the lioyal Chapel on Palm Sunday. The civil governor, immediately after examining the prisoners, informed Senor Canovas Del Castello of what Jjad taken place. MADRID, Tuesday (Reuter).-Since their arrest the two dynamiters Delboche and Fer- reira have been examined and cross-examined .-by the officers of State and magistrates. They have given their names as Jean Marie Delboche and Manuel Ferreira respectively. Without hesitation they declared themselves to be Anarchists, boasting that they were impor- tant agents of the movement. Delboche was very vehement in his speech and violent in his behaviour. When the prisoners were being interrogated last evening in the private room of the Governor of Madrid at the Ministry of the Interior, the Frenchman, instead of answering questions, argued and declaimed, enforcing his words with violent blows on the table. The chief of police re- peatedly told him to be quiet and to behave himself, but Delboche refused to listen, and at length became so outrageous in his conduct that his custodians heavily manacledhim before the examining magistrate. Prisoners protested their innocence of any criminal intention. Delboche even declared that he did not know anything about the bomb which he had in his possession when seized by the police at the door of the Chamber of Deputies. Ferreira admitted knowing that it was a bomb he was carrying, but asserted he had no intention of using it. After the interro- gation the police went to the Socialist Club, where they arrested twelve men, and seized a quantity of papers, black and red flags, and various disguises. The charred remains of a mass of papers were found in the kitchen fire place. The club was cleared of people, and seals were affixed to the doors. A number of Anarchists have been arrested both here and at Barcelona in the course of the night. Delboche and Ferreira were this morning consigned to the central prison, where they are kept in the closest seclusion. LYONS, Tuesday (Dalziel).—A fresh search was made yesterday at the residence of the Anarchist Jarrous, who was arrested a few days ago. M. Hamondene, chief of the local police, was personally in attendance, and searched the house from the loft to the cellar. In the latter he discovered a glass re- oeptaole, used for mixing explosives in a large quantity of rosin, a wooden palette for mixing the same material, two halves of a bomb fthaped liked a saucepan, some caps, nitric acid, glycerine, and, in fact, everything necessary for the manufacture of dynamite bonds. Last night at seven o'clock, in a boat that was anchored in the River Rhone, several cartridges of dynamite were discovered, bearing the following inscription, Dynamite, No. 1, June, 1891." Cartridges have also been found in various districts of the city. They have all been taken to the municipal laboratory. The dis- coveries have caused a great sensation in the neighbourhood. LIEGE, Tuesday (Reuter).—Two hundred cartridges, containing altogether 25 kilo- grammes of dynamite. were stolen yesterday from the Banneaux Colleries in a suburb of this city. Search has been ordered by the judicial authorities, and every effort is being made to trace the explosives. NAPLES, Tuesday (Dalsiet).—During yes- terday's sitting of the court before which the trial of the Anarchists is taking place the Public Prosecutor asked the witness Croci whether he had intended to make an attempt on the King's life, but the President imme- diately read a communication from the Minister of Justice to the effect that Croci could not be indicted on the point.

DEEMING. -0 Inquest on the Body of Mrs. Wiliiams Opened at Melbourne. MEDICAL TESTIMONY. Identification of the Prisoner. MELBOURNE, Tuesday (Dalziel).—The inquest on the body of Emily Williams, as she is called in the pleadings, was opened this morning in the City-coutt, the same in which the trial of Ned Kelly, the notorious bushranger, took place some years ago. The court is situated within the gaol precincts, and was selected for the holding of the inquiry on account of the greater facilities which it affords for police control over the admis- sion of spectators. In spite of all the precautions taken, however, the court was inconveniently crowded. The city coroner, before whom the inquiry is being held, opened the proceedings by reading over the names of the witnesses whose testimony has been called, to the number of 52. In a few preliminary observations he dwelt on the atrocious nature of the crime disclosed, and intimated the desire of the Government that the inquiry should be of a thoroughly searching and exhaustive charac 81", The accused man Williams was present in custody, and was the object of eager scrutiny which he underwent with apparent indifference. His solicitor, Mr. Marshall Lyle, attended on bis behalf. The evidence token at the preliminary sitting having been read over, the further examination o the witnesses commenced. Dr. Mullens, who was first called, deposed to having made a careful examination of the body found in the empty house at Windsor. He stated that the woman had evidently been struck a violent blow on the head prior to her throat having been cut, this being clearly indicated by the effusion of blood to the eyes. John Stanford, who follows the trade of a butcher, deposed to being the owner of the house at Windsor in which the murder was committed. Without any hesitation he identified Williams as the man to whom he had let the premises in November last. The prisoner had, he said, become thinner in the interval, and his moustache was gone, but he had no difficulty in recognising him as his former tenant. This witness con- firmed the view of the police that Williams's short-sightedness is affected by stating that on none o? the occasions on which he saw him did he wear spectacles. Williams, he stated, went away without notifying him that he had given up pos- session. A telegram through Router's agency continues the evidence. The sergeant of police who had been called in by the previous witness stated that the body was encased in cement, and lying in a shallow hole near the hearthstone. Evidence of identification was then given, several witnesses deposing to their having recog- vlll nised the remains as those of Mrs. Williams, and also swearing that the prisoner in court was Williams, who passed as the husbind of the deceased. Mr. Hirschfeldt, who went to Perth to identify the prisoner there, and who camo back to Mel- bourne in the Billarat, narrated the conversation which lie had with him aboard that vessel. In the course of this conversation the prisoner mani- fested extreme curiosity to know how the body looked when it was found, and made some re- marks which were of a more or less incriminating character. The court then adjourned for luncheon. Tfje Prisoner Laughs Alourt. Throughout the proceedings the prison* r linin- tained an indifferent air, and laughed alouLI more than once. Shortly after the Court had resumed, Miss Kate Rounsefeil, the young lady who became engaged to be married to the prisoner after the murder of Emily Mather, entered the court, and was at once identified by a witness named Firth as a lady whom he had seen in the Company of prisoner at Sydney about the middle of January. On the occasion of that meeting, the prisoner told Mr. Firth thachtawife, Emily) who it has been con- clusively proved was dead at the time, was alive and well and staying at Sydney. Very important evidence, as tending to (Connect Williams in the most direct manner with the mur- der. was given by an ironmonger named Woods and his wife, who sold to tho prisoner on the 17th of December a spadse a trowel and a barrel of cement.

1 Widow and Waiter. Breach of Promise Action at the Glamorgan Assizes, AN IMPASSIONED LOVER. She Would Shoot Him Dead at Her Feet." At the Nisi Prius Court of the Glamorgan Assizes, at Cardiff, this morning (before Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams) considerable time was taken up over the hearing of an action for breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff was Mrs. Louise Addis, widow, Swansea, and the de. fendant Charle3 H. Marks, waiter, Milfcrd; Mr. Benson (instructed by Messrs. W. R. Smith and Son) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Arthur Lewis (instructed by Messrs. Eaton, Evans, and Williams) for the defendant. Mr. Benson, addressing the jury, said the plaintiff was a widow, and in August, 1889, went as cook to the Lord Nelson Hotel, Milford, where the defendant was engaged as head-waiter. In course of time they became acquainted and affec- tionate. Then, according to the plaintiff, defendant promised to marry her. Relying on that promise the plaintiff, as she would say, permitted the de- fendant to have improper intercourse with her, the result being the birth of a child. Marks was not satisfied with his position, and was anxious to become "proprietor of a public-house, which was to be occupied by the plaintiff and himself when they were married. He would read some of the cor- respondence to the jury. It commenced with a telegram, in which the defendant said, Happy in London; will be home to-morrow." When the plaintiff discovered her condition it was arranged she should go over to Ireland, to hide the fact from the residents of Milford. On January 29, 1890, soon after she went, the defendant wrote her. In his letter he said:— My Darling Louise,-I hope. darling, you will excuse me for not writing before. Darling, 1 have been very busy this last week. Darling, I am so glad to see from your letter that you arrived in Ireland safe. How is old Ireland ? I hope well, and I hope, darling, you are quite well. I never met anyone in my life I loved so much as you. I hope I shall have the pleasure of seeing you again. I hope that day will soon come. I hope. darling, this cl ud will soon roll by and better times come.—CHARLES WINTON. Counsel observed that Charles Winton was not the name of the defendant, but be undoubtedly wrote the letter. Following that was another epistle Please. darling, excuse me for not writing before. The shamrock grows very well, better even than in Ireland. I thank you for the present. I will send you something some day, but I don't know what yet. I went for a urive the other day. We were saying how much we wished vou were with us. iou would have enjoyed yourself. as we all came home sober. His Lordship: You have not given quite the full effect of the letter. Quite sober for once. (Laughter.) I hope it willjpass by, that trouble; only be good and don't think any more about it, as there are better Limes coming.—CHAHLES. Mr. Benson: Following that the defendant wrote the plaintiff again, apologising for delay in correspondence, and stating that his people had asked him to go home, so that they could look after him. They thought he was going wrong as he did not write them. The letter continued:— Darling, you know better thatlam notgoing wrong. I am gllld to say that I am as I always have been. 1 am as happy as a king, though I have not got much money. (Laughter.) Darling, take care of yourself, and also of the little ones. If possible, I will come over to Ireland for a few days. The child, said Mr. Benson, was born on July 10,1890. Again the defendant wrote to Dearest Louise," blaming himself for keeping plaintiff waiting for a letter. tIe said:- Please excuse me. as I can't help it. t am afraid to take a pen in my hand. I wish there was some one behind me with a cane to make me write. I have been on another trial trift in a steamer. I have to teli yoi- bad news. I have lost a great deal more money than I can afford. Please don't took cross at me. I can't send any. I haven't a shilling in my pocket. Don't look cross, but be good, There are better times coming. Mr. —— and others are coming over. Don't tell them anything about Maud (the child), as no one knows any- thing about her. Beat love and kisses.-Yours very truly,—CHARLES. After that came another letter telling the plaintiff that Mr. J. Morel's wife had been left jSlO.OOO, and he had given up the Railway Hotel. In that letter he referred to the fact that JE50 a week for takings would do very well for him, and referred to the time when he and the plaintiff should be in the house together. That, said Mr. Benson, was the first written corroboration of the promise of marriage. Following that the defendant wrote asking the plaintiff's advice as to the public- house. After that letter lie wrote again saying My darling Louise,—I do not think I shall be able to findjmonev enough for the Rompney Uastie. I should like the place very much, darling. What place did you say was to let at Merthyr ? I dare say Merthyi is as good a place as there is in Wales. I have heard a good deal about Merthyr from the collier?. How is Barry getting on ? I believe it will te a. good place some day. but they won't let the ground for building public- houses. In January, 1891, continued the learned counsel, the plaintiff returned from Ireland, and came to live in Cardiff, where she remained till she got a place at Swansea, where she now was. Defendant wrote her, wishing she was at Milford, as he was always thinking of her. In that letter he addressed her as Dearie." In another communi- cation, dated December 3, 1890, the defendant wrote My darling Loulse,-Your letter safe to hand. I am glad to see you are quite well, and also little Maud. Hope you win take good care of her. I went into a shop here, but could not buy anything, as I was ashamed; but, darling, I send you here 20s. That is all I have to spare. Darling, you shall have some more as soon as I can get some. Do not forget to come and see-me next lenr, and try to stop a long time. On March 13,1891, defendant wrote. My darting Louise,—Have had a bad cold.I thought last week I should die. I was just going to make my will. but I thought it would be very nice to live, and I think I will live a little longer yet, darling. (Laughter.) The letter concluded by asking the plaintiff if she had heard from any brewers as to public-houses, adding "please look out." On April 23,1891, he wrote:- It will be impossible for me to come to Cardiff. I have seen J. Morel with respect to the Rompney Castle. It only Works on Sundays. On week days they have nothing to do. I trust you, and I hope you will do your best for me. Now, about the money, i can only give you the deeds of my houses. I have no cash money. I never told Vouabuut Llewellyn Davies's place. It was sold and only reached £ 620. I offered £ 570." About July, 1891, the plaintiff found out, not- withstanding the warm and affectionate character of the letters passing between them, that she had reason to believe the defendant was carrying on with another woman or else had got married. Accordingly, on July 10, she wrote resenting the conduct of the defendaut and challenged him to disprove it. She believed the relations with the other woman had been going on a month or two, and wrote again. In that letter, said Mr. Benson, she took the defendant severely to task about his conduct, and though she said it was a "cold" letter, he himself should think it was distinctly a hot one." In that communication she said some of the statements made about the defendant to her might be lies. but they could not all be untruths. The defendant might think her a fool, but, to use her own words, r I am not a mean fool. but Only fool enough to have loved you too well. The plaintiff then went on to say :— I will shoot yon dead at my feet. You are the worst man I ever met, if ib is true that you are carrying on with another woman. You would pel-haps be glad to hear that I am Irett.ing my living in* some horrible way. but neither, you nor anyone else can throw such a charge in my tace Have you helped me at all, or done anything for your child ?—No; nothing—and now you are living with another woman. I will never mind how or when I deprive you of your life. I do not care what the conse- quences are, and I am coming to Milford, and all the world will know. This is a very cold letter, but I am determined not to go away and shield you from the disgrace you have bi-ougi,tabitit. Charles, you are a very bad fellow. This letter is not written in the heat of temper, but in qaiet deliberation. To-day (Tues- day) was Maud's birthday. Did you think of it? No) Mr. Benson again observed th'\t the plaintiff described the letter as a cald one. (Laughter.; In his opinion it was a very "hot" one, and ho need not point out that the threats of an angry woman were never carried out. The defendant did not answer the letter, and on August 17 the plaintiff wrote again, asking what he intended to do about the child, saying- I will stand the suspense no longer, and if I do not hear from you in two days you will hear from another quarter. In reply to that the defendant wrote under date of September 1— My dear Louise,—Please excuse me that I have not written before, but as you know I am afraid to write. I have not written home yet. We had a regatta at Mi ford this week. I wish we had one every day, seeing the business they bring. I may come over to Swansea, and will let you know when I can come.. Darling, I send you 10s. 6d., and will give You some more when I come to Swansea. I hope you are well. Mr. Benson, continuing, said the defendant did hot answer the let.ter of July 10, and the plaintiff's solicitors wrote asking defendant for compensation for the breach of promise, and pointing out that the 10a. 8d. sent by him was adding jnault to injury." In conclusion, the learned counsel said the only plea raised by the defendant was that of no promise of marriage to the piaintiff. The plaintiff, a smartly-dressed woman of con- siderable personal attractions, in fact, a most typical cook, then entered the witness-box, and for a little while was questioned by Mr. Benson, her answers corroborating the statements made by him in his opening address. His Lordship, interposing, said he could form no opinion but that the defendant was the father of the child. If the case proceeded much further they might put an end to the possibility of a settlement; but at the present stage an arrange- ment might be come to whereby the defendant wouH come to some terms with the plaintiff. Agreeing with his lordship counsel on both sides retired to consult, on- the matter, and upon re-entering court Mr. Benson announced that it had been arranged for a juror to be withdrawn, I and the sum of JESS paid by defendant to plaintiff for damages and costs throughout. His Lordship concurred. I

Glamorganshire Assizes. The business of the assizes was resumed at the Town-hali, Cardiff, this morning. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice CHARLES). A BAD START IN LIFE. William Phillips, a llid of sixteen, was indicted for burglariously breaking and entering the shop of Ann Perkins, at Swansea, and stealing there- from one box of cigars, six boxes of stationery, two dozen books, and other articles, value alto- gether £ 1.—He pleaded guilty; and, as he had been in prison tor three months, he was dis- charged. A SUCCESSFUL DEFENCE. James Butler, 27, fireman, was indicted for steal- ing a pair of boots, value 7s. lid., the property of David Evans, atPenarth, on the 26\ II of February. Mr. Carslake Thompson prosecuted.—The evidence for the piosacution was that the prisoner was seen looking at the boots hanging outside the prosecutor's shop, and when he had been gone away a few minutes the two daughters of the prosecutor missed the boots, which were subsequently found in the possession; of a young woman named Ellen J O'Brien, daughter of the keeper of a lodging-house at Cadoxton, with whom the prisoner had been lodging. She was arrested, but. in consequence of what was afterwards ascertained, was liberated, and the prisoner taken into custOlly.-Tlte pri- soner's defence was that he bought the bootll from a navvy in the Wenvoe Arms at Cadoxton for 3s. and a glass of beer. He took them to the lodging- house, and Ellen O'Brien put them on and went to Evans's shop, where they were identified, and in consequence Ellen O'Brien was arrested. The prisoner added that when he heard of this he gave himself into custody, and he complained that it was not until expressly pointed out by the police- inspector that he was identified by Miss Evans.— The jury found him not guilty, and ho was dis- charged. BIGAMY BY A CARDIFF CLERK. Henry John Rossiter, 31, a clerk, residing in Cardiff, was indicted for intermarrying with Alice Mary Ware, of Newport, his former wife being alive at the time. — The prisoner, pleaded guilty. The prisoner was formerly secretary to the -Tradesmen's and Seamen's Union at Cardiff. His first marriage took place in 1884 at Ilfracombe, and on the 4th of November in last year he went through the cere- mony of marriage with Miss Ware at Newport, having represented himself to be as a single man. On behalf of the prisoner, counsel handed in testimonials as to character and pleaded in extenuation of the offence that the prisoner had given way to sudden temptation. He had always behaved exceedingly well to his first wife and children, and since he had committed this offence had contributed to their support.—His Lordship remarked that this was not a case which could be met by a nominal sentence, as the prisoner had made false representations to the young woman with whom he had committed bigamy. He would, therefore, have to go to prison for six calendar months. THPFT BY A COLLIER. George Fishlock, 19, a collier, pleaded guilty to stealing a silver ring, muffler, shirt, and other articles, value 12s. 6d., the property of Stephen Clifford, at Bridgend, and was sentenced to three calendar months' imprisonment. A SAILOR'S ESCAPADE. John M'Cord, 25, sailor, indicted for break- ing and entering the dwelling-house of James Webb, at Cadoxton-juxta-Barry, on the 20th of January, and stealing twelve singlets, three shirts, and other articles, value L3 10-4., pleaded not guilty. Mr. Rhys Williams prosecuted; and from the, evidence of the witnesses called it appeared that the prisoner had been lodging with Webb, but left the house about eight o'clock on the nightie question.—Webb made the house secure at eleven o'clock, but when he came down- stairs in the morning he found the doors open and missed the articles mentioned.—A written state- ment from a man named Robinson, another lodger with Webb, was to the effect that the prisoner was in the house at 4.30 in the morning, and left shortly afterwards, carrying a bag with him.— Prisoner, who admitted that he was in the house, was found guilty of larceny, and sentenced to six calendar months' imprisonment. SERIOUS WOUNDING AFFRAY AT CARDIFF. William James, 26, coal trimmer, was indicted for wounding Daniel Meredith, with intent to cause him grievous bodily harm, at Cardiff. Mr. Francis Howell prosecuted, and Mr. Arthur Lewis (instructed by Mr. J. H.Jones, Cardiff) defended.- The statement of the complainant, who is a tobacco- nist in James-street, Cardiff, was that on the night of the 20th of February lie was going along the street in company with a man named NonhSitmuel, when the prisoner accosted them. Complainant asked him what business he had to interfuie, and he responded by taking off his coat and putting himself in a fighting attitude. They had a fight, and complainant knocked prisoner down, who thereupon came at him from behind and struck him on the head with some instrument.—Dr. Cook, Cardiff, who had attended the complainant, deposed that a clear in- cised wound, 3in. in length, and from half to three- quarters of an inch deep. had been inflicted on the left side of his face, and it had evidently been caused by some clean cutting instrument. It could not have been inflicted with a bottle because the instrument cut the com- plainant's waistcoat. The wound was rather serious, because it was followed in a few days by erysipelas.—The defence set up was that the wound was caused by a bottle during a general mclée.-Prl!lOner was found guilty of ublawful wounding, and his lordship, in sentencing him to a month's imprisonment with hard labour, said ho had used the knife in a most reprehensible manner. THEFT OF A CANDLESTICK. Mary Jane Cobb, 36, a charwoman, was sen- tenced to a month's imprisonment for stealing a brass candlestick value 2s. 9d., the property of Elizabeth Garonwy, of the Wyndham Arms, Neath, on the 22nd of March. Mr. Howell Price prose- cut ed, and previous convictions were recorded.- The prisoner pleaded that she had taken the candlestick while in drink. BURGLARY BY A LABOURER.' Thomas Push, alias Thomas Jones, 30, labourer of Pontypridd, was indicted for having broken into the dwelling house of William Russell Beitb, at Ynysybwl, on September 19, 1891, and stealing JE120. He pleaded not guilty. Mr. Lleufer Thomas prosecuted.—The prosecutor, a mechanical and mining engineer residing at Cardiff, said that in September last he occupied the Windsor Hotel at Ynysybwl. On the night of the 18th he and his wife went for a walk after closing hours. On their return they met the prisoner. Before going to bed they made all secure and took the money in the house—between JE120 and £ 130—to a bedroom. On coming downstairs about six o'clock the following morning the money had gone, and marks of footsteps were distinctly to be seen from the window-sill of tile commercial room to the bedroom where the money was.—Mrs. Beith, wife of the prosecutor, corroborated, and mentioned that the road by the hotel was on a higher level. and a person passing could see into the room. Evidence having been given by several witnesses that the prisoner was seen loitering near the hotel on the night in question, other witnesses spoke to seeing the prisoner in the Salutation Inn, Bute-street, Cardiff, in October last. He si.owed one witness between JE50 and JE60 in gold, and treated several people with drink.- Police-sergeant Llewellyn, stationed at Ynys- bwl, proved arresting the prisoner, who had over f9 in his possession.—A. Jeremiah. who wes in the same cell as the prisoner previous to his trial, said prisoner confessed that he had broken into the hotel and stolen j6120 or £ 130.— The relieving-officer of Pontypridd and the master of the workhouse deposed that the prisoner applied for admission to the workhouse, and sub- sequently admitted that lie had committed the offence, but said he did not take so much money as was stated.—The jury found the prisoner guilty.—He had nothing to say. and previous con- victions having been proved against him, lie was sentenced to three years' lI:wd servitude; CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Daniel Thomas, of Aberdare, on bail, wa3 inducted for the manslaughter of William Hart, of Merthyr Tydfil. Mr. John Plews prosecuted, and Mr. Arthur Lewis (instructed by Messrs. Linton and Kenshole, Cardiff) defended.According to the evidence of the first witness, Charles Phillips, a tailor, living neat Aberdare, he and the deceased man, William Hart, were at Merthyr Railway Station on the night, of Sunday, the 28th of February, intending to retuiot home by the six o'clock train. Witness left Hart for a few minutes, and when he got back on the platform Hart was stretched out." He was taken to the infirmary, where he died the follow- ing Tuesday.—Aggie Cowen, a young woman of about 21 years of age, said she was at the station on the night in question, and saw Hart. Who was on the middle platform, and also the prisoner Thomas, who was in one of the carriages. She noticed the prisoner knock Hart's hat off, and then get out of the c»rs iage and^, strike him in the face, the blow causing the latter to fall on to the rails.-Bv Mr. Arthur Lewis: Thomas's action was more in the nature of a blow than a push.-A man named David Williams cor- roborated, but in cross-examination said it was more a push than a. blow.-Alfred Thomas Ban- nister, of Cardiff, bookkeeper, said on the Sunday in question he was on the arrival platform at Merthyr Station, and saw somebody reach out of a carriage and knock Hart's hat off. Hart picked up his hat, and then tried to get into the carriage to strike someone, but, being unsuccessful, went up the platform in the direction of the engine. As he was walking back, the prisoner, who was t,linn standing on the platform, struck him on the side of the face. He reeled and fell upon his head between the metals, and was picked up seriously injured. The prisoner appeared to strike Hart a delIberate blow.-Evidence was given by Dr. E. C. Maguire, of Merthyr, who saw Hart at the workouse infirmary on the Sunday night. He was then unconscious, and witness thought he was suffering from injury to the brain. He died on Tuesday. Witness made a post-mortem examination, and found both the knees of the deceased slightly injured and the brain very much congested. The cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage. The fall from the plat- form would be sufficient to cause death. When witness first saw the deceased he detected signs of drink, but could not say that the man was the worse for liquor. — Police inspector Jennings stationed at Aberdare, said he arrested the prisoner and charged him with causing the death of Hart by striking him off the platform at Merthyr Station. He replied that the deceased attempted to get into the carriage and he (prisoner) would noj allow him to enter as it was full. Hart then made a blow at him; be (prisoner) then pushed deceased back, and be fell on the rails. The prisoner added that Sart, was drunk at the time.— For the defence Charles Bolter, labourer, of Aber- dare, who was with the prisoner at the Merthyr Station, was called, and corroborated prisoner's statement.—Prisoner was found guilty of man- slaughter, and the jury strongly recommended him to mercy on account of his youth.—His Lordship, after observing that he intended to give full effect to the jury's recommendrtion, ordered the prisoner to enter into his own recognisances in £ 25 to come up for judgment if called upon.—The sentence was received with applause, which was instantly sup- pressed.

JONKS AND HIS WIFE.-In this action, which was brought by Ebenezer Morris, collier, Cwmgorse, in the Swansea Valley, against John Jones and Mary Jones, his wife, neighbours of the plaintiff, the husband also being a collier, to recover jElOO damages for slander, Mr. S. T. Evans M.P. (instructed by Mr. L. C. Thomas) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Abel Thomas, M.P. (in- structed by Mr. T. Williams) represented the defendants. There was a cross action by John Jones and his wife against Ebenezer Morris for slander, Mrs. Hannah Morris being joined as defendant.—Mr. Evans, previous to opening the case, asked that the name of Hannah Morris as defendant in the cross action should be struck out, as she had not been served with a copy of the writ as provided by the rules, and as she also was not a plaintiff in the original action: —His Lordship said it was his intention to try what came befure him. He had jurisdiction to strike out the name as a judge of the high court, but doubted if had as judge of circuit. He, how- ever, quite agreed that there was no issue in which the wife was concerned. Not having been served he did not see how she could be drawn into the case.—Mr. Evans: That being so, I think my purpose will be served.—Mr. Thomas supposed that both cases would be taken as one, seeing that the slander was alleged to have been uttered by both sides at the same time.—His Lordship agreed. —Mr. Evans, in opening the case, said the slanderous words were used by Mary Jones first and then by John Jones. The law was that a man was not only liable for his own slander, but also slander committed by his wife. In this case, though, there had been separate slander by each. The defendant said to the plaintiff, "Go away, Charles Peace. You are near enough now; you steal wherever you go." This was repeated in the presence of a constable, whom the plaintiff took with him in order to get a withdrawal.—PlatntiS, on being called, wits cross-examined by Mr. Thomas as to the cause of a quarrel between the two wives, and asked if it was not a child of one of them.—His Lordship observed that the case was a mere trifling one.- Counsel on both sides consulted, and it was agreed to withdraw all imputations on both sides, each party to pay their own costs. ANOTHER SLANDER ACTION BEVAN v. JONES.—The plaintiff in this case (John W. Bevan) is a watchmaker and joweller in Oxford-street, Swansea, and a member of the Prince of Wales Court, I.O.F., Swansea, and the defendant, William Jones, Swansea, was secre- tary of the same court. The action was for damages for slander, and there was a cross-action. Mr. Benson (instructed liv Messrs. W. R. Smith and' Son) represented the plaintiff, and Mr. Abel Thomas. M.P. (instructed by Mr. R. T. Leyshon) appeared for the defendant. —Mr. Benson, in opening the case, said in 1889 the plaintiff was made treasurer of the lodge at jEt per annum. In February, 1890, the appoint- ment lapsed. In April, 1890, the slander complained of was uttered, and a further slander took place in September, 1890. On the former date the defendant, speaking tu a man named Davies, who was to succeed the plaintiff, said, If you knew him and his family as well as I do^you would not place much confidence in them. Bevan lived very well out of it. If I were you I would not pay him a d- halfpenny." In September, 1890, the slander complained of was, Things are going on very queer. I supposo you know that Bevan was treasurer, and that he lost or got rid of a lot of the court money, and was about to- leave the toWn. I hope the court will get their money, but I don't think there is anything in the shop to pay it. He is a. d-- scoundtel. He's mixed court money with his business money, and can give no account." The other side, it seemed, had entered a counter claim, and alleged that Bevan said, He's an old rooster. (Laughter.) He did me out of £ 8." That was never mentioned until the plaintiff in. stituted proceedings.—Plaintiff was examined in support of the opening statement.—Cross- examined by Mr. Abel Thomas: He had apologised to the Foresters' Court in regard to a statement against Jones. He never made the statement; the apology was "dragged out of him."—By Mr. Benson: He had suffered in his business since the slander.—Other witnesses having been called, Mr. Abel Thomas, for the defence, said it was a pity the court should have been occupied three hours and a half in inquiring into a trumpery matter which should have been settled in the lodge, if it required to have been settled any where.—His Lordship, in summing up, thought the jury would agree with him that it was a thousand pities that such a society as the Foresters should have its good name brought into court, ana tarnished by the recital of these miserable disputes between the unfortunate factions of the lodge.

SPORTING CHAT. ] C. Dunn, who was warned off in India (where be j had made a rather great reputation as a rider) • some eighteen months ago, has had his licence to ride restored. Colonel North will be represented in the City and Suburban to-morrow afternoon by Nunthorpe, Sheldrake, and Arturo, who will run on their re- spective merits. Ollerton, sire of Bosphorus, Eaglesham, Roseus* and other good horse", met with an accident in his box recently, at the Bdnk Bonny Stud Farm, ami has been destroyed. An even "monkey" on Monday was laid on Orme for the Two Thousand Guineas, and the backer wished to repeat the transaction. The latest scratch in gs for the City and Suburban are Rusticus, Hildebert, Mr. M'Gregor, and Tro- laske. The last-named has also been struck out of the Great Metropolitan. There must have been fifty players, at least, on the Tooting Bee links on Monday, when the greens, although in grand order, were rendered hard and keen from the excessive heat. Only ona Parliamentary match was played; and in this Mr. J. G. Baird. M.P., giving a stroke, defeated Mr. S Hoare, M.P., by two holes up and one to play. Lord Granville Gordon, Sir Arthur Jervoise, Col. Gathorne Hardy, Mr. F. E. Villiers, Mr. Tollemache, M.P., Mr. Shaw-Stewart, M.P., Mr. Mullholland, M.P., Mr. J. G. Heygate, and Mr. Denman were amongst the many who turned out for practice. Charley Mitchell writes to the Sporting Lift stating that his ambition is to beat America's champion, and whoever holds that title can always be accommodated. He is prepared to deposit when called upon the sum of £ 1,000 to bind a match. He states that his next and last fight must either be with Sullivan or his con- queror.
