The fifteen was hailed as the best the All Whites could place on the field, and it be- coming known that the players purposed rising to the occasion, excitement was keen as to the result. There were hopes that Swansea would make history by achieving what other clubs have failed to do so far this season, namely, inflict the first club defeat upon the Tafisiders. Doubts existed AS to whether David would be able to re- sume partnership with Bush at half-back, m consequence of his recent stre-et accident. Otherwise Cardiff were at full strength. At three-quarter Ralph Thomas took Cecil Biggs p'ioe on the right wing, the ex-Penartfc In..4') not having fulfilled expectations 1 The game was generally commented wpor as a battle between the forwards on fcoth sides.

The Cardiff XV. arrived in Swansea. at five to three, 24 minutes after scheduled time, by the ordinary train. In conversation with the players, our representative elicited that they were not sanguine of victory. They knew that to beat Swansea at Swansea they would have to play for all they were worth. The opinion was to t,he effect that the team that scored first would win the match, and they hoped that side would be Cardiff. David at the last moment was prevailed upon to play. He had put in no practice for the past couple of weeks, but inasmuch as Gibbs was on the injirred list, and no confidence was placed on Randell Da vies, of the Re- serves, the Cardiff Committee were bound to call upon Da"id. It was at half that Cardiff expected trouble, and as Brice was unable to get himself thoroughly fit, HIe ex, pressions of the Cardiff team adequately em- phasised the fact that they realized danger to their record. They were met at the sta- tion by a large cumber of people. Prior to the arrival ot the Cardiff team hail fell, and the weather at one time looked threatening, but fortunately it cleared off, and with the exception cf a strong easterly wind, the con- ditions for a good game were excellent. High-street Railway Station was busy. Shortly after three an excursion of fourteen br fifteen carnages disgorged a load that Was estimated at about 1,000. The 1..3.5 ordinary down train had also been packed. t6 was the 2.40 from Carmarthen, and the Port Talbot market special, which teached Swansea at 2.25. Altogether it is probable that not less than 3.500 reached High-street station in the early afternoon. LARGEST GATE OF THE SEASON. Easily the largest gate of the season as- jembled at St. Helen's to tyitness the match. Half-an-hour before the kick-off there must have been 10,000 people on the ground, while there was a constant flow through the gates. The tramways company ran a speciai tervice which was eagerly patronised, tra.m- ioads being brought own the field at short Vntervals. Never t,_1' Jre this season was there such a magnificent attendance at St. Helen's—almost reaching international pro. Dortiona. At 3.15 about 15,000 had gath ared, the stand being filled to its utmost i-apocity. while the Recreation Ground end "f the field and that bordering on Bryn- foad were densely crowded. Several mem bei of the Welsh Union were present, in- duding Mr. Walter E. Ree: (secretary), who travelled down with the Cardiff team Sir John Llewelyn was in his accustomed leat. At 3.40. ten minutes after the adver Used time for the kick-off, the attendance te*kched clcse on 20,000, the greatest ex- eiterrr-' prevailing. A few minutes later the Cardiff team drove up to the Gorse-lane entrance and made f^" the pavilion—an ex- ception occurrence, as generally the dress- ing-rooms under the grand stand are used by visitors. This privilege, however, may be on account of the recent question which pre' aled at Cardiff the other day when the All Whites were offered no accommodation tor placing of their coats, sweaters, and so The wind was bitterfy cold and just be- fore the start slight rain fell, which added to the discomfort of the crowd. At 12 min- utes to four Cardiff emerged from the pa- vilion and were accorded a ripping recep- tion, a similar one being given the All Whites. Dick Jones was seen running across the ground with a slight limp and was greeted with enthusiasm. Pugsley stood down from the nine selected Cardiff forwards. KICK-OFF. SWANSEA LOSE THE TOSS. Swansea lcet the toss, and Joseph kicked up to J. L. Williams who replied to toucn aT! his twenty-five, the ball gover over the stand. Swansea secured from the farst scrum and Trew, .instead of making off, kicked back into touch with little ^ro^in gained. Three scrummages were formed, from the last of which David secured and runni"1, quickly handed t Bush. The lat- ter misfielded and e ball getting loose exchange kicking ensued between Bancroft, Winfield, Gordon and Bush, the advantage resting with Cardiff, who, assisted by the wind,"sent the ball over Swansea's lme for Arnold to touch down, although there was plenty of room for him to come out. How- ever, it was a safe course to adopt under the circumstances. Soon afterwards, Ar- nold marked and sent to the centre where Serine got away cleverly, evading two or iree Cardiff backs cleanly. He passed out but the ball went astray and the centre was reached. David was next conspicuous with a neat kick to touch after which be secured and sent on to Bush, and CardiS-s outside half set his backs in motion. First Gabe, Biggs and Ralph Thomas receiving, Car. diff's right wing went down the field at a rare pace, and, when confronted by Bancrott passed back in the open field. This was not accepted, and Swansea saved within ten yards of their line. Bit by bit the All Whites relieved beyond their twenty-five, Hunt being conspicuous. A long pass-out by David to Gabe was fumbled and Swan- sea- gained a further ten yards. From a scrummage, Owon handed to Trew. The latter attempted to punt, which J. L. WiJ- 1 liams charged down. It looked dangerous for Swansea, but in his efforts to gather Williams knocked on at the All Whites' twenty-five. Dtick Owen here got away aim 1, and putting in a clever kick up the field, which was well followed up by Joseph, Winfield was pressed. Cardiff's full back, howsv^ put in a nice screw-kick, which found touch again at the centre. Another kick up the field by a Swansea back was marked, and Winfield, with a huge kick, and t.he wind behind him, was stated '0 have placed the ball into touch at Swan- sea's twenty-five by the Cardiff umpire, Mr. J. Davies, a committeeman, a decision which was not relished by the crowd. 4. moment later the Cardiff backs were in mo- tion, and Ralph Thomas GOT CLOSE TO SWANSEA'S LINE. A short kick by Owen was smartly marked by J. L. Williams abor'; 15 yards from Swansea's line. The bal was placed for Winfield, and it looked as if Cardiff -were to be awarded the goal, but the Cardiff back's kick went wide and Swansea touched down, much to the relief of the huge con- course. Gordon touched down again a moment later fro ma long kick. Some ex- citing play followed on one occasion the Cardiff backs indulging in passing, which failed at Ralph Thomas, and the game onoe again was stubbornly contested at the centre. Trew made off but ooulid not get dear, and the forwards were called upon to save. A small punt by Biggs was wo}ll bii^cCt by Ralph T..omas, who prevented Arnold getting in his reply. Once Phil Hopkins got going, but after travelling a short distance gave an awkward pass to Joe Evans, which went into touch a.t Swan- sea's twenty-five. Trew put in a high punt which the wind affected. J. L. Wit- hams claimed a mark, but the referee or- dered a scrum, -I-UE BSXK &O.ond Gordon was seen scampering away on his own. Hs got clean up to Winfidd about 20 yards from the visitors' line and then put in a short punt. Phil Hopkins came tearing along for all he was worth. Unfortunately, he knocked on, although he went over the line —v:ry hard hick for Swansea. The All Whites were now in a grand attacking position, but the ball coming out on Car- diff's side, Bush relieved with a well-judged kick to half-way. He was well to the front aoon afterwaixls with another t;ood kick close to Swansea's line. The next scrum ai*d Cardiff were over. The ball came out clean to David, and he whipped it out' to Bush in a twinkle. The ball passed through tte hands of Gabe, Lggr and Ralph Thomas for the latter TO CROSS OVER IN THE BRYN-ROAD CORNER after 30 minutes' play. Winfield toqjJ the kick, and although the angle was difficult his shot touched the far goal-posts and re- bounded into the field of play. With a teki of 3 points, Cardiff tried hard to force meters, but the All "hItes played up man- fully. A long kick by Gabe was promptly gathered by Bancroft, who ran by Ralpn Thomas, and put in his punt ten yards over the half-way. Cardiff's passing went astray, and Phil Hopkins, nipping in, in tercepted and got away. By the hardest of luck Joe Williams failed to accept his pass when his course was practically clear. Had he gathered has speed was bound lo have taken him over, as Winfield was well out of the way. Nothing daunted the All Whites kept pegging away on Cardiff's twenty-five. Owen tried to bring off one pass which almost proved fatal, as J. L. Williams got hold of the ball, and with almost a dear course, readied Bancroft well down the field. He tried an inside pass which Gordon successfully cleared. Ban- croft, in his attempt to lay Williams low, was hurt, but speedily resumed. From the scrummage, Bush tried to drop a goal. The direction was accurate, but it lacked pown, and Bancroft marked under iiis posts. A scrum was formed and Trew brought much needed relief by a long punt towards half-way, followed by another well over the mark. Half-time was then called with Cardiff leading by three points to nu'. with Cardiff leading by three points to nÙ Half-time Score: Cardiff—1 try. Swansea—N il- PLAY IN THE SECOND HALF.. Svansea had no reason to be disatiefied wil-h their play in the first half. Northmore restarted for Cardiff, and Serine loiocking on a scrum was formed at Swansea's 25. Bush secured and made a^ shot for goal, which went very wide, and Swansea touched down. Bancroft put in a. fine drop-out kick, which flustered Winfield considerably. He was promptly surrounded in attempting to recover, but knocked on. Owen got away on the blind side, and put in a short punt- towards Cardiff's line. By loose footwork Cardiff got out of difficulties, when the re- feree pulled up both sides with a caution. Owen set Trew going, the latter patting in a fine cross-punt. Gordon was all over Gabe before he could move in his 25. A ^<3fs TALK FROM THE REFEREE was greeted with hooting. Swajisea set off about their work in no uncertain manner. TTOW fed his backs, and Arnold coming round made a cross run and punt, which gained a large slice of ground. Another op- portunity came Swansea's T~ay, but on this occasion Arnold fumbled. Tha ball was eventually kicked over the line, and Win- field touched down. From the drop-om Hopkins marked at the centre. He took a drop at goal from this great distance, and did creditably. The ball went sailing to- wards Cardiff's posts, but veered a little outside, and Winfield again touched down. Cardiff got to midfield, where Ralph loomas received. He put in a kick, which Ban- croft fielded, and saved admirably. It was thought he had gained some ground by his kick into touch, but Cardiff's umpire's de- cision was against him, the crowd venting their displeasure by continued outbursts of dissatisfaction. Cardiff remained at tbe All Whites' 25 for two or three minutes, Owen having difficulty in putting the ball in the scrum. At last this was done, and Trew receiving, punted down to midfield. The Taffsider replied oooUy to touch. Bush got away, but hung on to the oval too long. He sent out his pass too late, and Gordon., bursting through, dribbled right away to Winfield and upset the latter. He, how- ever, handled on to Williams, who returned to the centre. Dick Owen. marked smartly, and Bancroft taking the kick, sect t-la ball to Cecil Biggs. The Cardiff centre doubled I prettily, and wound up his effort by finding touch in Cardiff's quarters. Then ensued A FINE RUN BY GABE. He went off grandly, and when pressed handed to Gibbs, and he to ilaipn Thomas. The right winger was within an ace of being over before Bancroft pushed him into touch. Some fumbling work by both sides saw David put the ball over the crces-bar, but the previous infringement robbed Cardiff of the points. Brice and Joseph got locked in each other's arms, but nothing came of the struggle. Cardiff continued to press. Trew was weak in picking up, and Joe Evans had to save right on his line. By a smart flying kick, Bancroft relieved the pressure. Trew made amends for his previous miss by a long put down the field. Ralph luomas was hustled by Arnold, and a knock on caused play to be fought at the centre. Serine was laid out for a second or two, and on resuming attempted* to take up a posi- tion as a rover. Gordon promptly ob- served this movement and ordered him back into the pack, a prt cedure which the crowd appreciated. Swansea were now doing a little better, and Arnold came to the front v/ith a low kick which touched one of his opponents in transit, and the ball rolling INTO TOUCH CLOSE ON THE CARDIFF LINE, caused the visitors to act strictly on the de- fensive. ihey burst through, but Gordon came again to the rescue and repelled them. Hajd scrumming on the Cardiff line ensued for two or three minutes, in which Ralph Thomas was temporarily hurt. Swansea's chance to cress the line failed by Trew tak- ing a shot for goal which didn't come off. The position was a good one, but the ball went wide, and only a minor was recorded. The sun affected Bancroft's accurately field- ing a kick from a mark by Winfield, and the Blue and Blacks were in Swansea terri- tory. Swansea tried passing, but it was very weak, and no ground was gained- Trew put in another kick to the centre. With but four minutes to go, the match looked lost and wen. Swansea were award- ,1 the first free kick of the match, which Bancroft pun-ted high. Nothing, however, L arne oi it,^ and play remained at the centre ■intil tiie final whistle blew. FINAL SCORE: CARDIFF—1 try. SWANSEA—Nil.

. LLANELLY V. NORTHAMPTON.
LLANELLY V. NORTHAMPTON. SCARLETS DEFEATED IN THE MIDLANDS. HEAVY LIST OF POINTS AGAINST THEM. The Lianelly toam visited Northampton to-day for the purpose of carrying out their engagement with the Midlanders. The pre- vious meeting with Northampton thrtv years ago ended in an easy win for the Scarlets. On that occasion they had an exceptionally ( strong side, including Gabe, Arnold, and Freear. The prospects of a victory to-day were not eo bright. Below are given the ttaiiiis: LLANELLY.— Back, Tom Paddieon; three-quarters, Uew. Thomas, D. M. Davies, Griff. Rowe and Albert Mason; halves, D. Lloyd and W. J. Rees forwards, Jack Auck- land (capt.), Tom Evans, W. Roberts, J. John, G. Stagg, J. Richards, Dan Long, and Evan Thomas. NORTHAMPTON.— Back, C. Leigh; three-quarters, J. H. Miles, F.

Rederee-MT. A. O. Jones (Leicester). LlaneHy commenced play against a strong wind, and were quickly dangerous. Shortly afterwards Mills punted away, and charged I down the field. Paddison returned, and gave the ball to the Northampton forwards, who forced a minor. Llanelly again showed clever work, and bet)ame dangerous. Clever play by the home acks followed, West Cole and MaJbb being oonspicuous. They trans- ferred play to mid-field, but Paddison smart- ly prevented a rush by the home forwards.

. ABERAVON V. COUNTY POLICE.
ABERAVON V. COUNTY POLICE. BOYS IN BLUE BEAT THE 'BRAVON- ITES. On account of the fixtures with Neath having been cancelled (the last of which should have been played at Aberavon), Aber avon made arrangements for a fixture with the County Police instead, and the match was played on the Aberavon enclosure to- iay. The Police played a match previously at Aberavon this season (OJI October 14-th) which the Red and Blacks won sfter a keen contest by eight points to three. Unfortu- nately Brice and Smith had been selected by Cardiff against Swansea, and therefore the Police were without the services of these two staJwart forwards. Much doubt exist- ed up to the last moment as to the composi- tion of the backs for Aberavon. The teams wv iu i ?tl>ly be as follows:- ABERAVON.- -Full-back, D. M. Lewis; three-quarters, T. Williams, Tom Thomas (captain), A. James, and '"Billa" Thomas halves, Willie Harris and Ike Thomas; for- wards, Will Jones, Tim Madden, G. Vick- ery, E. Pugh, Patsy Sullivan, E. Leyshon, W. Kennefick, and Steve Matthews. COUNTY POLICE.-Back Price; three- cj carters, W. Spiller, H. Spiller, Cummings, and Pullman; halves, Dick Thomas and Hawkins; forwards, Galloway. Bob Jones, G. Evans, Dick Jones, R. Thomas, J. Owen, Neyland, and Williams Referee. Mr. W. M. Jones, Bridgend. Evan John turned out for Aberavon in- stead of Lewis at full-back, and Jim Dono- von and Albert Jones replaced Billa Thomas and Tom Thomas at, three-quarters. Fred Lewis played vice Vickrey in the forwards. For the Police Evans took Brice's place at back, and Foley, Rowe, Hunter, and R. Bowen substituted Galloway, R. Thomas, Bob Jones, and Williams in the forwards. It was an hour after the advertised time that Madden kicked off for Aberavon, and the Police replied well into the Aberavon 25, where Donovon sent nicely to touch. The Polioe wheeled the /^st scrum, and a nice run by Hockings g ■•ood ground, the Police forwards rUBhin; JÓ the Aberavon line. From here Tom Williams made a splendid run for Aberavon, getting to mid- field before being tackled. Ned Lewis fur- f ther improved, but the Police forwards held I the advantage in the scrum. Arthur James was next conspicuous with a nice run and kick, and from a scrum at midfield H^w- l Wins dribbled away nioely, but was stopped by Sullivan. One of the Police forwards went away with a good dribble, and a minor was forced. Patsy Sullivan now raced away, but was checked by Cummings, and the visiting forwards worked back. Willie Harris made a fine opening through a bunch of the boys in blue, but he £ 'fDl' into touch at the centre. The lwme tor- wards tried passing, but a mull by J-onÜ3 lost ground, and Donovon relieved a dan- gerous rush. After some hard scrummaging in the home territory Willie Hames se- cured and carried play to the centre. A strong forward rush by the Police again sent play to the Red and Blue ter- ritory, and Be van raced over with a splendid try. He failed to goal. On the drop out, the Polioe, aaded by a strong wind at their backs, again invaded the home territory, and bard scrummaging I ensued right on the Aberavon lme. A free to the homesters brought much-needed re- lief, and this was improved further by a good run by Willie Harris, the Police cus- todian being tackled with the ball. Aber- avon continued to have the advantage, and Arthur Jones brought up a beautiful run to the Police line. The tackling on both sides was now of a determined nature. Tbs Aberavon backs cperted up the game nioely, and Willie Harris got away well and kicked instead of passing, and the Police came back to midfield. Amusement was here created by an acrobatic feat by one of the Police. The Police forwards were playing a strong game, but the Aberavon tackling was keen, ¡;r- "2 and the homester worked back to midfield, when half-time Was called.

Again Swansea worked up, and the baD was kicked on, and then MteGraith made a brilliant run alcia5t to the visitors' quarter Bag, where he was tackled finely by Rees, a Swansea back. The homesters now pressed, and play was fast and exciting, Jones getting to the line in a splendid burst. A moment later this same player scored an unconverted try.

DEFEAT OF THE "HEATHENS." NEWPORT'S SUCCESS AT USKSIDE. LONDONERS' LINE CROSSED EIGHT TIMES. It is long since Newport were in such a happy mood against Biackheath as they were on the present occasion at Newport to- day. Several changes were made in the home team. Gunstone played full-back in the place of Dai Boots; who is sick, and Sid Adams was placed in the third line, with Plummer, a former half-back, and Plummer, of the second team, on the wing. This worked well, although there were a few faults in the first half. As the game went on faults were remedied, and tries were scored by W. H. Williams and Geo. Boots, neither oi which were converted. Half-time Score: Newport—2 tries. Bla.ckheath- Nil. On the resumption of the second haif Biackheath bucked up a little, but New- port eventually obtained the upper hand, and the homesters indulged in some clever and daring passing, and Plumin-er knocked on when he had a spiendid chance to score. After this tries were scored for Newport in quick succession by Willie Thomas (2), D. Protheroe, Plummer, C. Pritchard, and Sid Adams. Although these were scored almost under the posts, not one was converted. FINAL SCORE: NEWPORT—8 tries. BLACKHEATH—NiL

Hundreds of sportsmen interested in schoolboy football visited the Gnoll endo- sure on Saturday afternoon to witness a between teams representing East and West Wales. The Selection Committee had done its work well, and a real trial of skill and strength WaG anticipated with confi- dence- In the original Western fifteen Neath had four "men" included, but Rhys Davies, tha smartest wing three-quarter playing at the present time, was unable to take his place 'n the team, he having wrenched his knee in the Port Talbot match a week ago. The vacancy was filled by I Groves, of Aberavon. The selected teams vere as follows:- EAST.—Back, Thomas (Pontypridd); three-quarters, McDougail (Cardiff), T. Wil- liams (Cardiff), Jones and Williams (New- port); halves, Ooughlan and Potter (Car- diff); forwards, Edwards and Bramfieid (Newport), Penvoe and Carroll (Cardiff), Smith and Wood (Bridgend), Goodman (Fontypridd), and Bennett (Risca).

Referee, Mr. Bailey, Llanelly. The encouraging feature about the match I was the ^reat interest shown both by adults and youths. As early as 2.30 there weis a steady stream of public flowing towards the Gooll o&dosure, and when play commenced the gate had assumed proportions which must have been gratifying to the executive of the Welsh Schools League, who took all the pro- ceeds except deductions for expenses, which a.mounted to a very small figure. The game started a bit late, the boys and the com- mittee being photographed, this being the cause of the delay. Following up the plan adopted by the New Zealanders, each player wore on the back of his jersey a dis- tingmshing number which made it easier to follow the personality of the players and the trend of the game.

THE HEAVY PORT TALBOT CLAIM
THE HEAVY PORT TALBOT CLAIM DAMAGES ASSESSED: POINT OF LAW INVOLVED. The special jury at the Cardiff Afisiaes try- ing in Mr. Justice Lawrenoe's court, the daim by the Port Talbot Railway and Docks Company for £ 9,000 damages in re- spect to an alleged breach of agreement by Mr. Oliver Henry Thomas, colliery proprie- tor, decided on Friday that plaintiffs wem entitled to £2,750 damages, but the action was not finally decided. The Judge, in summing up, was inclined to the belief that a breach of the agreement bad been committed, but pointed out m regard to the amount of damages that these must be assessed on the basu of the pro- bable amount of coal that would have passed over the company's line to either Port Tal- bot o" Swansea, though there was the other point that, assuming there was a breach of the agreement it did not follow that injury would accrue to plaintiffs as there was noth- ing to prevent Mr. Thomas sending the whole of the output to Cardiff or Barrv, i not over the company's railway at all." Fm- theff, as to the £ 4,000. the company had ■pa-id the defendant, that was in a large measure by way of compensation for monies expended by Mr. Thomas before he agreed to change the sitoof the proposed two pits The jury, in reducing the claim from £ 9.000 to £2,750, bore these directions in view, but a legal point had been left open for discussion on Saturday as to whether the lessors of the land in question had not by, in effect, retaking possession, relieved the defendant of his liability to the Port Talbot Company under the agreement. After a brief discussion, the Judge on Saturday decided to have the point of law argued in London. Judgment was thereupon reserved.
SWANSEA NURSEMAID. ,
SWANSEA NURSEMAID. ATTEMPTED POISONING CHARGE VERDICT OF THE JURY. At- Cardiff Assises on Saturdav (before the Lord Chief Justice), Florence Edith Davies (16), nursemaid, was chargad with attempt- ing to administer poison with intent to do grievous bodily harm, by putting salts of lemon into the food intended for the infant babe of Mr. and Mrs. Durk, 3, Se-a .-iew-! terrace, Swansea, on 27th February. Mr. ile T. C. Thomas, taking the brief for Mr. LleuLr Thomas, who was in the other court, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. David Rees defended. Mrs. Durk, who carried the baby in "er arms, said 011 the day previous to t-nat of the alleged offence, she found lault wilh a.c- cused for having worn some of r • under- clothing, and also for having burnt a blsfc- ket. Witness then explained that she was in the habit of giving her babe corn flour, and on the day in question she was about to give the babe sor of this food, f- as usuaJ, tasted it. She found IT HAD A BITTER TASTE, and her husband also tasted it, and he ieit sick. The food was thrown away, a i a tm canister of cornflour was handed to the puolic analyst. There had been a packet ot sails of lemon on the dresser, and this was miss- ing. Two police officers came to the house and said to defendant, 'We have come about the cornflour." Defendant made no Tjply, and then Mr. Durk said, "Did anyone tell you to do it?" Accused replied, "1\0, I did it myself, and threw the paper in 0 has- ket." In the evening accused packed her clothes up and said, 'As I did it to yon. — would like me to go." Witness thoi Jf-ked her what made her d., it, and defendant burst into tears. In cross-examination, witness said the ac- cused was a very stupid girl, and had i- er shown any animosity. towards the baby. The salts of lemon was bought al out eight weeks before, but the packet WAS not op- i. and witness was sure that another servant ''hat had been there for a. short time had never used the poison. Mr. Durk corroborated the evidence 01 his wife. Detective-inspector Lewis said that -c the way to the police station, accused said, The missus was cross with me ever since Mon- day. I did not know what I was doing. At the police station, when charg she said, "I AM VERY SO-RY I DID IT." Mr. C. A. Seyler, borough and xranty analyst, spoke to analysing the tin of corn- flour. He found that it contained salts of lemcn. Lord Chief Justice: Would cornflour as j you found it be dangerous? Witness: Yes. Especially dangerous to a small child?- Certainly. What quantity of the salts would kill?— In the case of a child of nine months, fropi fifteen to thirty grams. What was the quantity in the tin?—23 grains. Witness was cross-examined with the view of showing that there was no difference in appearance between salts of lemon and cornflour. Witness said that- salts of lemon was more «f a crystal. By the Lord Chief Justice: It W'}5 one of the serious poisons under the Act. By Mr. A. C. Thomas: As to the possibi- lity of mistaking the two, it all depended on whether fhe salts of lemon was ground up into powder. ACCUSED IN THE WITNESS BOX. The accused was called, and, in answer to Mr. Rees, declared that she did not know what was in the packet that contained salts of lemon, and that she put it into the corn- I in flour, thinking "t was cornflour. Lord Chief Justice intimated that- there was no intention to kill, but simply to do grievous bodily harm. Counsel for the defence, in addressing the jury, argued that a mistake had been committed, and that the jury would realize by the girls' conduct In the box that she did not know what she was doing at the tame. Lord Cbief Justice, in surr ming up, said that he thought the jury must take it that the girl put the salts of lemon into the corn- flour, but the jury had to be satisfied that th^accoscd knew it was a poison He did not think the admission earned the case any further as the girl might have been frightened. The Jury, after a few minutes delibera- tion, found the accused "not guilty." In discharging her, the Lord Chief Jus- tee cautioned her to be VERY CAREFUL IN THE FUTURE, and, addressing Det.-Inspector Lewis, asked him to do his best to get some lady to lll- terest herself in the girl's case. The girl was then discharged.

played in place of Griffiths (L'tnelly). The 1 East started against the wind and Groves re- > turned nicely to the centre. Thomas, of I Pontypridd, a«fter failing to gather the bail recovered himself and panted well back to the centre. Here ar irregularity took place. and a scrum was formed. Some pretty pass-, ing by the Eastern backs enabled them to attack, but when the ball came to the left wing Arrow Smith dashed in and spoilt the movement. Cox, of Port Talbot, was then prominent for some brilliant open work, which took play into the Eastern ground, where the contest was waged with mail vigour. The Western side were now fore- i ing play, with the result that the boys from the East had to work ext.remely hard to keep their lines intact. A brilliant passing move- ment by the West culminated in Groves scor- ing a pretty try. The opening had been cut PT out for him and all he had to do was to take the ball to score. He did it cleanly and well, Cox took the kick for goal and made an ex- cellent attempt, but he just failed. Within a, few minutes of the restart Cox, after a brilliant run, and beating all opposition, scored a magnificent try, which he just failed i to convert. Within a minute Roberts punted over the line. and Thomas, vrhen touching down seat the ball back. The re- feree awarded Cox a free kick, and he tried for goal, the oval just, missing the maxk, and a minor resulted. The Eastern forwards, j thanks mainly to Edwards and Wood, Tuahed play into their opponents' ground, where for a time the Westerners were penned. Scrum after scrum was formed on the Western line, but their gallant attempts only produced a minor, Arrow Smith saving in beautiful style. After resumption Roberts, of Llanelly, spoilt a well-intentioned movement of the Cardiff halves, and play was taken to the Easterners' territory, where a vigorous de- fence was set up to many and varied at tacks. Up to this stage of the game the j West had been having deciOOdly the better i of matters, Cox and Coombs, of Port Taibot, j Arrow smith, of Neath, Roberts, of Llanelly. and West-, of Swansea, being the shining: lights on their side. Of course, the fact Lad to be taken into consideration that the West were playing with a strong wind in their favour, aid it was problematic what would happen when ends were changed. In the course of a succession of attacks, Roberts, of Llanelly tried to drop a goal, which was nearly successful. Then taking advantage of some mulling on the part of the Eastern backs, Regally, of Swansea, dashed over with a nice try, which was not majorised. Half-time Score: West—3 tries. Eastr-Nil. Stephens, who captained the East side, resumed, and the kick off being irregular, a serum was formed at half-way. Several times the West backs were set going, but Williams and McDougall, of Cardiff, spoilt attempt after attempt. luen the Western backs got a good look in. Coombs nearly scoring a-fter a fine burst. Still the West- maintained a hard pressure, and they suc- ceeded in forcing a minor, which was dan- gerously near a try. After the restart the West had a good chance, but successively Coombes and Groves held too long, and the Eastern backs, playing well on tot) of them, res-,Llf-d in the West having to defend. Quickly, however, the Westerners relieved the pressure and shed play to half-way. The boys from the East were playing up with determination, and they were soon attacking' again for all they were worth. The strong wind was telling the tale, and up to now and up to now the second half was much in favour of the Easterners. The latter had plenty of chances, but their combination was frequent,ly at fault, aad they failed to pierce the defence, which was exceedingly strong. Cox, of Port Talbot, and Roberts, of Llan- elly, raised the siege time after time, but Coombes was continuallv missing his passes, and thus rendering of little avail the excel- lent work done by Roberts and the Port Talbot centre, who was unquestionably the best threequarter on the field. The East, however, were destined to soore, and pre- sently Potter, of Cardiff, getting away cleverly inside the Westerners twentv-five, dashed over with a real I v fine try, the result of a brilliant individual effort. Williams, of Newport, converted in fine style. From this stage up to the end the Easterners pressed, but the defence was sound, and they failed to again pierce it. FINAL SCORE: WEST.—o trt36. EAST.—1 goal.
