THE INCREASING PREFER: ENCE FOR VI-COCOA. The reason for this is simple. In the fierce struggle ior existence, both individual a.nd national, the intelligent se- lection of diet, is, even now, playing a de- cisive part, and the final victory will ine- vitifbiy go to those who succeed best in maintaining "a sound mind in a sound bedy." As a rule the Bntish Public have not been very discriminating in this ma-tter, but hy- gienic education has been making great strides in recent years, and the marked and rapidly increasing preference shown for Dr. 'iibbies' Vi-Cocoa is a striking proof of in- telligent discrimination on the part of the public, and, at the same time, a guarantee for the future health and vitality of the race. Yau must have read the striking testi- mony that is being published daily respect- ing the merits of Vi-Cocoa. And yet you have not tried iL We advise you to do so at once.

Swansea Volunteers at Portheawl Camp, Portheawl, Monday.—The morn- ing opened beautifully fine, and the men tm-ned out strictly to time (which is six o'clock) for company training. Twu hours' drin, aad then breakfast was served out, 1>,f4"ær which the men tnrned out again for another two hours' drill. About eleven o'clock the sun came out 30 hot that it was unpleasant marching about through tiia thick gorse. The men, however, did not complain much, and the work was soon got through.

The other officers on parade included Lieut.-Colonel Jones, Adjutant Stepney, Majors Langdon and Lewis (Gorseinon), Lients. Coward and G. G. Isaac, and Cap- tains Hersehel Jones and Harris. The men were put through several movements, at the end of which they were complimented by the colonel for the smart way in which they manoeuvred. There are hundreds 'of Swansea people visiting the camp besides toJk from other places. Two excursions camt ÍTom tSwansea, both of which were packed. The men are in for a heavy day on Tuesday, when it is hoped the sun will not be so strong. The other battalions, viz., tl,o 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Welsh, did a good day's work. In the af- ternoon the 3rd Welsh held successful sports. During the morning Colonel Hill visited the camp and inspected the men c-n parade.

The Japanese fleet were bombarding Golden ¡ Hill on Tuesday. It is reported that tiw general attack on Port Arthur began to-day. The fighting land force there is said to be only 10,000 strong. In the harbour there are fourteen war- ships, four of which are damaged, twelve torpedo boats, and nine steamers. CoaLs and provisions are short. The intended departures of the British steamers to Japan have been suspended meanwhile.—"Standard."

TASHIHCHAO BATTLE. Terrible Fire of Artillery. I Dramatic Stroke by the Japanese Mr. Ernest Brindle, the "Daily Mail" cor- respondent at Newchwang, sends the follow- I ing graphic account of the last Russian de- fiat — The battle near Tashihchao yesterday be- gan at dawn while it was still aark, and the lighting was of the most fierce and stubborn description. The Russian attack opened with fire from three central batteries, and compelled the Japanese to alter the line of their advance, which at first was due east of Tashihchao. One battery north of Tapingshan became the target of the concentrated Russian fire while the new movement of the Japanese was being carried out, and it must have sus- tained severs damage. While this duel between numerous Rus- sian batteries and one Japanese battery was proceeding, the Japanese retired to the hills, and to those looking on from a dis- tance appeared to suffer a repulse. Puffs of white smoke and red flashes denoting bursting shells and shrapnel came from the Russian gxms in ceaseless succession. The Japanese fire at the time was of a spasmodic- nature, which ceased at noon when a fresh Russian battery east of Tashihchao disclosed itself and thundered across the intervening vailev to the next hill. Russian battery east of Tashihchao disclosed itself and thundered across the intervening vailev to the next hill. At two o'clock in the afternoon three rings of smoke that followed the cresit of the mountaain slightly north etst of the Russian position indicated that the Japan- ese were stationed at a new point. These I rings increased and spread out in vast half- circles. BRILLIANT JAP MOVEMENT. The ridges of the higoest surrounding hills soon showed a line coidused and brcksn hills soon showed a line coidused and brcksn of Japanese, who began a descent to the next range.. Surprised by this unexpected strategy, tiio Russiuns moved ten guns to ^r»e top of a long, lvw hill, the dark brown colour of which &t.ocd out with startling cc-nspicuousnecss from tha green grass and the white and red rocks that filled out the landscape. A terrible cannonade ensued for twenty minutes, and it became impossible to fellow I the progress of the fight because of the thick clouds of smoke. Presently there came a breeze, and the curtain lifted showing the Japanese line ten miles from Tapingshan on a. precipitous height to the 'east dominating the whole country. The Russian guns were I AiR firing, and appeared to be making good practice. The noise was tremendous. There was one continual roll of thunder, punctured each moment by thuds that shook the earth. As the sun set there came about a drama- tic- development, over one of the many ridges which abound in this mountainous country. From a hill directly above the persistent Russian gunners, who were holding the last position east of Tashihchao with indomitable pluck, batteries of Japanese artillery the existence of which had not been suspect 3d suddenly pcvnred a tremendous fire upon them, and m the meantime Japanese nfan- try descended the hill at a great rate from all sides. Tbe Japanese, now attacked, but not for two hours more did they silence the Russian 2Tuns, which kept on firing urrtil the Japan- ese artillery, which had been reinforced, gained a position immediately opposite them Then the Russians retired upon Tas/nbchao. > In company with rnany other people I wached %ht from a tower on the out- sorts of Newchwang. The atmosphere was cear, permitting ns to see this splendid spectacle Yv e were able to follow every movp of the battle, though naturally it was impossible to make out the course of the fighting in detail. This morning my courier arrived with some interesting particulars which he bad gathered while hidden among the reeds in the valley between Tapingshan and Tashih- chao. MAGNIFICENT ARTILLERY WORK. The Japanese in three divisions came up fTom the east and the south. Heavy firing started at 7.30 in the morning and reached its comax between eleven and twelve, when the Japanese were compelled to alter their line of advance. Reinforcements for the Russians numbering 5,000 men arrived at this time from Haicheng with ten guns, and these temporarily stopped the Japanese divi- sion advancing from the south-east. It was not until the Japanese attacked along their whole front that the Russians retrea.ted. The Japaxiese artillery was im- measurably superior, and thpir shrapnel was frightfully destructive.; The Russian gap- ners went down in hundreds, but the gum were fought with magnificent bravery. The battle was a perfect, hell of smoke and I' Same. It is difficult to compote with accura»cy the casualties, but they are estimated at many thousands. Two trains loaded with wounderi left in the evening. The division which suffered the most was that of General { Kondatorovitch, which hore the brunt of the battle. The Russian force probably numbered 30,000, but was outgeneralled, and its -ar- tillery was inferior. The Japanese had twice as many guns. The Russian shots paseed ovtz the heads of the Japanese. In spite of this they compelled the Japanese to make three distinct movements. a-' There were two lines, one from the south- east, the other from the south-west. Fin- ally the Japaner-e concentrated upon a posi- tion due east cf Tashihchao, and the RUE- sians retreateo when the Japanese fire from a single line extending ten mi1.es at done range silenoed the L-t efforts of the defend- ing farce. A united toereot of shells fol- lowed the Russians in their retreat from lashthchac.

ASSAULT ON PORT ARTHUR humours of its Capture. "Eleven Thousand Japanese Casualties,' — (Press Association War Special.) Shanghai, Friday. A telegram from Wei-hai-wei states that the British fleet is returning there to-morrow. Thia is regard- ed here as tending to confirm telegrams received from ChI-in to-day reporting that Port Arthur has been captured. Wei-hai-wei, Friday. — It is supposed liere that Port Arthur has iallen, as the British fleet is returning here to-morrow. (Press Association War Special.) Chi-fn, Friday.—A junk arrived here to- day with thirty foreigners from Port Ar- thur. The refugees are all people of the better class. They left Port Arthur on Thursday, and report that exceedingly heavy land and sea fighting took place to the cast and north-east on Tuesday, Wed- n:T-b.y, and Thursday. They believe that a general assault has begun. On Thursday they say the bombardment of the town was the heaviest experienced since the siege commenced. The Russian forts did not reply very vigorously. Field-Marshal Oyama, with his staff, left Dalny on Tuesday, and is conducting tbe operations in person. The refugees confirm tho reports of the serious condition cf the Japanese fleet. The supply of fresh meat at Port Arthur is exhausted, and only the troops are get- ting salt meat, non-combatants mainly sub- sisting on oatmeal and rice. 11,000 JAP CASUALTIES. Shanghai, Friday.—The British Fleet re- turns to Wei-hai-wei to-morrow, and the fact is accepted as confirming the reports received to-day from Chifu that Port Arthur has been taken by the Japanese, with 11,000 casual- ties.—(''Standard.") THREE DAYS' TERRIFIC ASSAULT. (Press Association War Special). Chifu, Saturday (1 p.m.).—A junk which left Port Arthur at midnight on Thursday reports that terrific fighting on land and sea has been going on there for three days. The highest Japanese authority here says that the plan of the Japanese was to begin the final assault on Tuesday, tha.t they had hcped to capture the p'ace on Friday, and that no official reports are expected from the Army or Admiral Togo until the present at- tack proves either a success or a failure. Japanese correspondents here are sending junks to the Miactao Islands to enter Port Arthur immediately after the fall. I learn on the highest Japanese authority that the movements 01 the V ladlvostock Squadron have hastened the present attacx on Port Arthur, as the Japanese realised that if Admiral SkrydlofFs ships were al- lowed any longer to go unhampered, it would mean the division of Admiral Togo's fleet and tho consequent escape of the Russian ships from Port Arthur. Intense interest is manifasted here, as well as in Shanghai arid Tientsin, in the fate 01 Port Arthur. Many commercial booses at those places aTe" telegraphing to Chifu for news, and many wagers are made in Chifu, 23 to 1 in pounds being offered that Port Arthur will not fall in ten months. Germans are offering the wager and Eng- lishmen are accepting it. REFUGEES' STORIES: SHORT OF AMMUNITION. (Press Association War Special). Chifu, Saturday.—Refugees who have just arrived from Port Arthur confirm the report that a general assault has begun. The Russians, they declare, are confident that the enemy could not succeed even with twice as many men. They are still hoping for succour from Gen. Kuropatkin, and are unwilling to believe the reports of his defeat at Tashichiao. The refugees confirm previous reports as to the repaired condition cf the Russian ships, which, however, are unwilling to attack Ad- miral Togo on account of mines placed nightly by the Japs. If either the Vladivostock Squadron or General Kuropatkin would arrive, the fleet will risk going out. Ammunition at Port Arthur is becoming scarce, and large guns on the forts sel- dom fired. Attempts made to manufacture ammunition have proved failures. All the public buildings are used as hos- pitals the sick and wounded are well cared lor by volunteer nurses. Wounds indicted by Japanese rifles are not dangerous, except in vital spots. Hundreds oÍ men after being badly wounded have quickly recovered, and are now in the firing line. The Russians have erected a wireless tele- graphic .station, but it has not been possible to obtain any result on account of the Japanese auxiliary cruisers, which are fitted with wireless telegraphic apparatus, con- stantly moving about in zone of conrniunica tion and interrupting the messages. RIVAL OUTPOSTS AT THE SEMA- PHORES. (Central News War Special.) St. Petersburg, Friday.—The latest re- ports from Port Arthur state that the repcrt of General Fock having been wounded is un- true. 0 The railway for a distance of 19 versfcs from the fortress is in the hands of the Russian troops. As yet there is no question of an attack by storm. At Nangalin semaphore station the Rus- sian and Japanese outposts confront each other. The Russian sentries are at the nor- thern semaphore, and the Japanese sentries guard the southern semaphore. OKn ON HIS RECENT VICTORY. (Press Association War Special.) The Japanese Legation to-night issued the following telegram from Tokio: — !General Oku further reports, among other things, that according to statements of cap- tured Russian officers General Kuropatkin was present in the battlefield, that General Sakaroff and Condradovitch were wounded, that the Russian casualties were about 2,000, that our casualties amount to 1,000, and that booties and prisoners are under investiga- tion.

SKRYDLOFF VANISHES WITH HIS SHIPS. f (Press Association War Special.) Tokio, Satin-day.—The Vladivostock squad- ron has disappeared, and it is possible that its raid has come to an end and the ships are heading for home. It is anticipated that East Coast shipping will be resumed. Á It is estimated that 300,000 tons of char- tered shipping have been detained fowrtcen days, involving a loss of fifteen million yen. SUPERB NIGHT ASSAULT. (Press Association War .Special.) Tokio, Saturday.—General Oku estimates the Russian losses at Tashichiao at 2,000 at feast. He expresses the -opinion that the Russians decided to retreat at midnight on Sunday after the Japanese had stormed Tazpirtghng in a surprise attack and carried most of the positions on the Russian Wt, leaving the right rear threatened. Immediate withdrawal alone averted grea- ter disaster to the Russians. The fighting round the fortifications on Taipingling was desperate. It was there that the Japanese sustained the heaviest losses, and their casualties in the entire engagement are now estimated at 1,000. The Russians evidently hoped to check General Oku at Tashichiao. for the defences were the best and the most extensrve the Japanese have yet «-countered: Folds of roofed trenches were extended nvnnd the steep hills and srun emplacements protected by wire entanglements barred the rapines. The position dominated the jground which the Japs oecnn?ed and that over which tbey advance. One hundred and twenty guns barred the progress of the infantry. On Sunday afternoon a single Jap detach- ment succeeded in ppnetrating the Russian 1mI' hut was beaten bptfk. The Jan artillery was constantly exposed and being at a disadvantage topographic- ally was unable to make any impression on the enemy. The situation jiecmed hopeless at nightfall with the prospect of a hloodt renewal of the fight at dawn. The right wing asked and obtained per- mission to make a. surprise night attack. This brought victory. The Japanese swept over the- trenches into the first fortress at ten o'clock and followed this up with an assault on the second fortress, which was mastered at three o'clock, The Russians abandoned Tashichiao at 11 o'clock, thA Japanese shelling them as they retreated and the advance guards pur- sued them. St. Petersburg, Friday.—It is stated here and apparently believed that permission was received yesterday from the Turkish Government for the passage of the Dardan- elles by the Russian mine vessel Duna on a war footing. I arc informed "that '-he British Note re- ferring to the Knight Commander contained only a formal protest opening the subject, and that there was no mention of indemnity or reparation. The steamer Kotka, of ihe Wilson Line, was stopped by a Russian cruiser in the Gidf of Finland., and the captain interrogate 3d. The Admiralty officials declare that the basis of the Russian statement now being prtparedf is still the subject of discussion in high quarters. The date of its issue has been deferred. Later.—There is the best authority for stating that the Russian Government has obtained permission from Turkey that the mine-placing vessel Duna (of the type to which the Yenessei which was blown HP at Port Arthur, belonged) may pass fn-i Dsr- oanelles. She will proceed to the Far East at once.—La&in. WILL LEAD TO SERIOUS TROUBLE. Paris, Saturday.—The "Echo de Paris" says the Russian Government, in a Note to oe published to-morrow by no means allows anyone to contest her right to hoist any- where excepting in Turkish waters the war flag on ships already living the commercial flag.—Renter.

The Chinaman adds that there have been tremendous losses on both sides. Members of the Russian Intelligence Bureau, while denying that Port Arthur has been captured, are inclined to believe that the Japanese have made great pro- gress. The Russian refugees, who are expected to-day, have not yet arrived. (Central News Special War Telegram.)

(Press Association War Special.) Tokio, Sunday.—A belated report from Admiral Togo relating to an engagement of the Mosquito fleets off Port Arthur last Sunday is published here. A flotilla of Japanese torpedo-boacs and gun boats and ten or eleven of the ^dette boats belonging to the battleships Mikasa and Fnji attacked some Russian destroyers off Shensen Point at three o'clock in the morning- T Three Fish torpedoes, which the Japanese fired, were seen to explode, but the Japanese were not able to tell the result owing to the fog. The report tends to confirm the Chinese rumour that three Russian destroyers were sunk. The Japanese suffered no loss. PORT ARTHUR'S FEARFUL ORDEAL. (Central News Special War Telegram.) Rome, Saturdav.—The correspondent of the "Ralia M ilitaire," telegraphing from Yingkow, says that General Oyama, seeing the precarious state of t.he defences of Port Arthur, decided to anticipate the general assault and attack the fortress with all his available forces. Fifty-five siege batteries are now in posi tion, and the bombardment has been going I on without interruption since Thursday last. The Russian squadron made a sortie and engaged Admiral Togo's ships in the open, Severe losses are stated to have occurred on both sides. both sides.

Paris, Saturday-—Owing te home politics and th," fear of the imment capture of Port Arthur, to-day's Bourse ehowed a heavy ten- dency at the opening. After option time fresh sales were forth-j conrng and had a depressing iirtluence on quotations. In the House of Lords on Thursday cven- mg, The Marquess of Lansdowne, questioned by Earl Spencer in regard to the recent seizures of British vessels by Russian men- of war, said the controversy may be con fidered as having passed out of the acute stage, if, indeed, it can he said to have ell: tered fhat stage at all. Tbe most serious of tnese caws i: that of the Knight C.om nander. She was boarded bv men from the Russian ships, and her crew were taken off her. Two shells were fired into the Knight Commander, with the result that she sank immediately. Ine Government could come to no other conclusion but that a very serious breach of international law hils been committed. He was confident that our representations would have the desired effect, and that the Russian Government would not hesitate to disavow the conduct of the persons by whom this outrage—for it was an outrage, if the facts were as stated—was committed.

(Press Association War Special.) St. Petersburg, Monday.—The Emperor has received the following telegram, of yes- terday's date, from General Kuropatkin: — To-day tho three Japanese armies renew- offensive operations on the Southern front. Our rear guards made an obstinate defence until the appearanco of consider- ably superior forces of the enemy, and then gradually retired in the direction of Hai- cheng. v A detachment near Simu-cheng success- tully withstood, until three o'clock in the afternoon, an attack directed against the right flank of its dispositions at Kan-hua- Illig, inflicting great losses on the Japanese. The efforts of the Taku-shan Prmv and of General Oku's army are to-day "being Mainly directed to cutting between the '-imu-cheng and Hai-cheng forces, their ^Perations starting from a line traversing isn-sha-kau, Ta-punse, and Lia-shan-tsia, on the eastern front. The Japanese this morning began to take the offensive against car Ikhavuan po?it;oii, the enemy's main concentration being against its right flank, which was turned. -Ibe enemy are also acting on the offensive between Liao-yang and Saimatse against ^ur troops posted east of Hut-siatse.

Later.-A further despatch from General kuropatkin to the Emperor, also of to-day's ciate, runs as follows: — On the south front the advance guard (query rear guard), on the left, has retired a short distance in the direction of Ilai- f-heng, after determined fighting near tha yillage cf San-cheng, in the course of which it twice changed the position. ■pie enemy has not advanced. With the light rear guards posted on both sides of the railway near Vynt-sia-kau and Piluza, the fÏghtinrr has been confined to an artillery duel. According to reports from Simu-cheng sent off at 6.45 p.m., the fighting in which tho force in that neighbourhood was en- gaged had then ceased. All our positions were retained, but I have not yet received reports concerning the operations on the extreme flank. Vve have retained all the IIýÛtions held by the eastern force at the Yang ze-hng Pass. Its commander, General Count Keiler, who had chosen as the point from which be would watch the fight a battery exposed tc a heavier fire than any other, was mortally wounded at three oclock this afternoon, and died twenty minutes later.

At the Nisi Prius Court on Friday before Mr. Justice, Wills and a special jury—an action was brought by Mr. Walter Reginald Collins, solicitor, Swansea, against Sir Coleridge Grove, K.C.B., in respect to the ownership of a. certain field known as "Bruit Pit," Oy.stermouth and a messuage thereon, together with a hedge situate on the northern side of the field. In the statement and claim plaintiff contended that he and his predeces- sors in title have been in undisturbed posses- sion of the premises, including the hedge, for 12 years and upwards. Tho defendant claimed to be entitled to some estate or in-teiest to the. two fields situate to the north of the hedge, and further denied every al- legation as to plaintiff's title. Mr. S. T. Evans, K.C., M.P., and Mr. D. Viiliers Meager (instructed by Mr. J. C. Woods, Swansea) was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., and Mr. W. D. Benson (instructed by Messrs. T. W. James and Thomas, as agents for Messrs. Hills and Halsey, London) for the defendant. The jury vir'wed the property on Wednesday. Mr. S. T. Hvans, m opening, said Mr, Col- lins had resided in the neighbourhood of the plot of land for 30 years. The owner of the field wa.s formerly in the occupation of Mr. Crawshay. One of the chief advantages of tne hedge was, when the property was built upon, the hedge at the back would enable the tenants to enjoy a great deal more privacy than would otherwise he the case. Mr Evans said the conduct of Sir Coleridge Grove's agent deserved animadversion. To Mr. W. J. Rees his criticism was that that gentleman. before the case of trespass complained of, knew the hedge was claimed by plaintiff. Nevertheless, Mr. Recs went and cut down the hedge, making it very diffi- cult for any jury now to see the state of things as they existed before, and he did that without giving any notice to Mr. Collins. There were large trees—some ffi and 30 feet in height, and several of these were cut down. The first act of trespass was com- mitted on October 10th, when yards of the hedge was cut by Mr. Rees without any no- tice. On October 17th another portion of the hedge (50 yards) was cut down by Mr. Rees without notice. Mr. Evans submitted that was the conduct on ihe part of Mr. Reee, which must have had some object. It was not neighbourly, and if there was no object it was wanton in the strongest rtossible degree. The object counsel submit/ted was to make it difficult for any jury to ascertain the nuature of the growth, size and position of the trees, ¡ or kind of bank as they had a right to see. Mr Evans then went Lnio a history of the pro- perty, showing that it belonged" to. the Craw- shay family from 1862 until 1889, when it was conveyed to the Langland Bay Hotel Com- pany, Ltd. The western portion was pur- chased later bv Dr. Christopher Lewis, and the eastern portion by Mr. Roger Beck. Dr. Lewis bought the hedge in ouestion. Since that time plaintiff had bought -both the wee- tern and eastern parts in 1899 and 1894 re- spectively. The hedge was an excellent pro- tection from being overlooked from the upper ground. Upon the hedge grew such trees, the remains of which they had seen. The growth was luxuriant. In 1895 two tele- phone posts were put on the land—one at the ecstern corner and the other at the western. The one on the eastern side was to have been placed on the southern side of the hedge, but as MT. Collins intended to erect a small summer-house he requested the tele- phone comDany to place it on the northern side. In the spring of 1S96, plaintiff put a wire fencing up in the foot of the bank of the hedge to prevent cattle getting through. Plaintiff, Mr. Collins, said shortly after coining to Swansea in 1873 he went to reside at Rhyddings, Langland Bay, and later ac quired Heathercroft, where he now resided. Plaintiff recounted the negociations, convey- ances, etc., pertaining to the property. Last (October defenda.nt took down a wire fence referred to above. Correspondence was then read that had passed, and plaintiff describing the hedge and trees calculated some cf the latter had been thirty feet high, some -it,hers were about 12 feet high. If another house were erected the hedge and trees would have been of very considerable value. He esti- mated the property was worth £100 mere witn the hedge and trees than without. Cross-examined The price that was paid for the land included the hedge. Mr. Beck did not purchase the land for plaintiff, who bought it from him. Defendant's field was higher than plaintiff's—at the hedge it was about four feet above Smit Pit. T; ws s generally found when there was a dangerous declivity that the hedge belonged to the owner of the upper field. Mr. Abel Thomas: Was the attack upon Mr. Rees by my learned friend on vour in- structions? Witn^s 1 don't, know anything about it. Mr. S. P. Evans: I expressed my own view. Mr. Thomas: Do you agree with it?—-I don't think it is fair to ask me that. May I take it that you do not?—-No. Then T must ask you some questions. You have been very anxious that the jury should not view the hedge at all?—Only on the ground of expense. I should have preferred to have had a judge alone. Of course it was on the ground of arpense you tried to keep the case in London, and not have it heard down here?—It was agreed that the case should be heard at Swansea. The further hearing wa? adjourned until Saturday. The action was resumed in the Nisi Prius Court of the Glamorgan Assizes on Saturday (before Mr. Justice Wills and a special jury) 01 Mr. Walter R. Collins, solicitor, Swansea, v. Sir Coleridge Grove, K.C.B., in respect t" the ownership of a certain field known as "Smit Pit, Oystermouth, and a messuage thereon, together with a hedge situate on the northern side of the field. On the case being called on on Saturday, a juryman asked for extra fee*. His Lordship said he had no power to order that, but thought there, was nothing to call for extra fees when a case went into the second day. "There are such things," added the Judge, "as public duties." Charles Williams, baker, Newton, said he had been in the employ of Mr. Crawshay, and spoke to the clipping of the hedge in years gone by. Sylvan us Hatcher, retired farmer. Oyster- mouth, formerly farm bailiff at .Langland Bay for 18 years, said he fenced the hedge all the time. James Sanders, gardener to Mr. Collins, gave similar evidence. Robert Parry, labourer, Newton, said that 11 or 12 years ago he for three years vorked there, and on two occasions he fenced find staked the hedge from the north side. it was what was called a one-sided hedge. This closed the case for plaintiff. Mr. Abel Thomas then addressed the jury for the defendant, and said where one found a ditch and hedge the rule was almost in- variably that the ditch and hedge belonged to the same man in which the ditch was not. Thero was another general rule, that the man who owned higher land on the other side owned the hecfcge to prevent cattle falling over. Mr. Collins and Mr. Ruthin swore there was no sign of a ditch on the south side; Mr. Thomas maintained there were, traces of a ditch, and that the hedge never belonged to the company or the plaintiff. John Henry Morwood, surveyor, produced plans and sections. There was no sign of a ditch on the north side. Mr. W. J- Rees, estate agent, said that in his Opinion the hedge was the property of General Grove, whose agent b- had been since 1869, having succeeded his brother in that vear. Witness produced cer- tain little deeds and plans, and said the hedge had always been repaired by tenants of the defendant. The removal of the trees was lyit to the detriment of the lower land. Grose-examined: The hedge was cut for trimming. The land had been in the oc- cupation of a tenant ho could not say whe- ther the hedge had been cut down in a simi- lar way for the past 35 years. He cut down the trees for improving the fence. Witness did not know plaintiff claimed the fcnce. H did not know there would he a uisptrie H did not know there would he a uisptrie l1. witness claimed the fence. Witness was I' friendly to Mr. Collins, bn* he had no reason why he did not give Mr. Collins any notice Ot the cutting of the hedge. He gave only ono Instruction to take away the brambles. The work had been fini, hed before witness had any intimation, and he immediately sent down to have the work stopped. He did not regard the trees of any vafoe. The case was adjourned until half-past tea o I Mooday. The hearing of the special jury case, in which Sir Coleridge Grove, K.C.B., was sUM by Mr. W. R. Collins, solicitor, Swansea, for a-u injunction and da.mages in respect to trespass on a hedge in a field above La-iighind Bay, Mumbles, was resumed at Glamorgan Assizes (nisi prius court), before Mr. Justice Wills on Monday. Air. S. T. Evans, K.C., M.P., and Mr. D. Viiliers Meager (instructed by Mr. J. C. Woods, Swansea), were for the plaintiff, and Air. Abel Thomas, K.C., and Mr. \'V. D. Benson (instructed by Messrs. T. W. James and Thomas, as agents for Messrs. Hills mtd Halsey, London), for the defendant. Mr. W. J. Rees, J.P., estate agent, was further examined. He had measured the trees after they had been cut down; they were branches from old trees cut previously. When he gave the order to have the hedge, laid he did not know plaintiff claimed the hedge. He gave the order for cutting "casually." Men had come down ficm Ynysgerwn, near Neath, which was about ten miies away. When he went with General Grove he explained how he intended laying out the laud. Witness told General Grove he was going to put a road and cross- road. Witness had enjoyed the contidance of the Grove family for 36 years, and he had never been in the habit of consulting them 1Il regard to small matters. Mr. S. T. Evans: Did you give this oider in a casual way, as if you were trimming a hedge without dispute?—I did. ¡ Witness affirmed that he ordered the hedge to be trimmed as he would have dene any other hedge in which there was 1.0 dis- pute. He intended to plant trees. Mr. Evans asked if the witnesses were called together at Newton Nottage Farm on Sunday week. Witness said the witnesses met. Did you order beer in?—No, I did not. There was some beer, it was brought il. a jug and put into glasses. How many witnesses did you have on this Sunday?—Six or seven. Did you examine all the witnesses to- gether, so that each could hear what the others said.'—I did not examine them at all. Did you hold your tongue?—No, I didn't hold my tongue. I talked to them like I talk to anyone else. Re-examined The men started trimming the hedge on September 10th; on September 12th he received a letter from Mr. Collins, which he sent to Messrs. Hills and Halsey. On the 15th, 16th and 17th he went to Car- diff, and did not give any further instruc- tions. When he came ba-ck his clerk told him that Messrs. Hills and Halsey had written, and that the work had been ordered to be stopped; but it was then laid. OIL the Sunday mentioned there were sandwiches as well as beer. Mr. Abel Thomas: Did you have ary- thing to do with the ordering of the beer or sandwiches?—No. Witness said he had possession of the lend in September, 1903; until then it had been in Mr. Wollacott's hands. It was after he had possession he gave orders for the hedge to be laid. His Lordship, who visited the property on Sunday, said his own impression was there was nothing like a ditch on either side to afford any sati<-c"'»-etGfy evidence. He si ouicl I say the lay of the land rather favoured the defendant's case than the lain tiff's, but le wished to point out—to his mind—that had very little bearing on the case. There was nothing in the physical aspect to help any- one materially. To his mind there were one or two things that favoured defendant's view, so far as a ditch or depression was concerned, and there were some things that favoured plaintiff. The whole case <:> would turn on the facts of possession, and he should certainly advise both parties to con- centrate their energies upon that point. Mr. T. M. Price, land surveyor and valuer, spoke to the physical aspects, and said it would be necessary for the owner of the upper land to have a fence to protect his cattle. Thos. Parry, gardener, and formerly of Newton Nottage Farm, said he and his father had fenced the hedge both sides many a time several years ago. There was a ditch on the south side, and also on the north side. Robert Hickson, gardener, Norton, said when he was a. boy he worked for Mr. Daniel Thomas, who had Smit Pit field, and all the land on that side. Witness had mended tbe hedge, dividing the property from that of the nroves', and he had also repaired the hedge on both sides for Mr. Cook, a tenant of Newton Nottage Farm. Wm. Hickson, Daniel Hickson, and Jno. Hocking. Newton, gave similar evidence. Jno. Powell, Newton, said during Mr. Cook's occupation, tho latter repaired the fence. There was a ditch on the south side. With regard to the meeting on Sunday, Mr. Rees did not ask him any questions. Mr. S. T. Evans: A sort of Quakers' meeting. His Lordship: Except for the beer and sandwiches. (Laughter). Richard Wollacott, tenant, Newton Not- tage Farm, spoke to attending to the hedge from 1899 to 1902. I Mr. B. D. Thomas (Messrs. T. W. James and Thomas, solicitors, Swansea), acting for Messrs. Hills and Halsey, said he had re- ceived certain proofs and witnesses from Mr. ( Robinson, a former employee, and clerk to the Oystermouth Council. The proofs were sent up in April. Witness had been dewn to see witnesses, but did not do >0, sid hence the meeting on Sunday morning, when refreshments were ordered. The meeting did not last long, and there was not the slightest suggestion that anyone was rirurk. Cross examined: The proofs of the wit- nesses were gone through. One or two were not there, but told Mr. Robinson to get refreshments. Mr. Rees did not examine the witnesses. Jno. Henry Robinson, clerk to the Oyster- mouth Council, said he had visited tho wit- nesses, and sent Mr. Thomas copies berween April and June. Mr. B. D. Thomas, recalled, stated that some pencil alterations in the proofs had been made, and added to within the last few days. Mr. Abel Thomas then read the proofs; Mr. Evans said he did not suggest Mr. Thomas had put down what the witnesses did not say. Mr. Abel Thomas said the suggestion evidently was that the evidence had been trumped up at the meeting. Mr. Evans denied this. His Lordship said he did not understand Mr Evans intended that, but had com- plained of the witnesses being got together and giving their evidence in each ethers presence, which was a practice that ought not to be encouraged. Mr. Ernest Leeder said he had regarded the hedge as a joint one in Dr. Lewis' time. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and after 20 ininutes* absence, returned a verdict for plaintiff, with £10 damages. Judgment was accordingly given with costs on Scale C. Mr. S. T. Evans asked for an injunction to restrain the defendant from further in terfering with the hedv. Mr. Benson opposed, and the Judge said he thought that might stand over with liberty to apply. It, was agreed that defendant shoald give an undertaking not to further interfere with the hedge. Mr. Benson asked for stay of execution, pending appeal. His Lordship refused, and stated be did not see any ground for the application.

Young Durham Miner Executed. George Breeze, aged 21, mmer, was exe- cuted at Durham on Tuesday mM-ning, for the murder of Margaret Jane Chishotm, a young married woman, at Seaham Rarbour, on July 6th. Prisoner, on the morning of the tragedy, gave himself up to the police, and furnished them with a confession to the effect that he killed the woman in a fit of ma,d passion. He adored her "more than the very world." The woman's death was brought about by strangulation. Since the passing of sentence Breeze 'had g^ven no trouble to the prison authorities, and when he knew no reprievf1 would be granted he became quite resigned. On Monday night the condemned man slept fairly weH, and when he rose early on Tues- day morning ho partook sparingly of break- fast. He walked firmly to the scaffold, whither he was attended by the Roman Catholic chaplain.

At Neath on Friday, the following trans- fers of licenses were made: The Ivorites Arms, Briton Ferry, from David Da vies to John Banister; and the Crown Inn, Glyn Neath, from David Rowland to Simon Thomas.

I lost over forty pounds In weight, so you can see that I wah in a pretty bad way. "I went 1o three doctors. My stomach continued to revolt at anything I took, and I always had a sensation of something drag- ging downwards at my client, just a-s if there was an enormous magnet there. "But I am well and strong enough now, A booklet was left at the house some tmta ago, and I read of cures by Dr. Williams* Pink Piils lor Pale People in the cases of people who had suffered as I was suffering, so I resolved to give them a trial. Almost at once my food was retained, and digested without pain, and from that time my meals did me good.
