JEWISH GRIEVANCE IN RUSSIA A Reuter's telegram from St. Peters- burg on Monday says:—The Senate has just given its decision in the suit brought by the Jewish community of Mohileff against Privy Councillor 1L Demhovetskv, ex-Go ven or of the town, who is accused of having exceeded his administrative powers by ordering that a Jew, named Pevzner, who had quarrelled with a. priest of the Orthodox Church, whom he was alleged to have insulted, should receive 50 strokes of the broh rod. The loc d commis- sary of police, it was further added by the plaintiffs, had taken it upon himself to inflict 'double this number of strokes, with the result that Pevzner a short time afterwards died from the effects of the punishment. The Senate, Mttins" as a court of appeal has decided that the case must be re-beard, consequently the suit, which has already been protracted over many months, will be tried afresh by the court before which it originally came.

BeER GAOLEKS. BRITISH PRISONERS INTERVIEWED The special correspondent of the "Daily Mail, telegraphing iroui Pretoria on February 7, says; -1 have lLad tne good fortune to interview Atessrs. Sampson and Davits in th& gaol 01 this town. 1 fouuu them Dotn in fairly good health ana passably cheerful. Let me note one cir- cumstance in particular before coming to the interview. Lach prisoner had decorated lijj cell with portraits ot her Majesty tne yueem. 1 turtner noted Mr. Cecil Itnodes's portran, whilst tne colours of the Union Jack markea and empnasised the loyalty oi theee two men. My conversation with Messrs. Sampson and Daviea lasted an hour. Both wished ine in the first instance to correct an impression which tney believe to be entertained in England, viz., that their imprisonment has in some measure shaken their loyalty to the Queen. + T* j ajy'es sa*id: "1 wish it to be clearly under- stood that, no matter what indignities we may suffer through the mistakes of the British Government, our loyalty to her Majesty will not be in the slightest degree impaired." Mr. toampson spoke in the same strain. Coming to the question of the raid and the attendant excitement in Johannesburg, Mr. Sampson corroborated the statements as to the conditions under which the Outlanders in Johannesburg laid down their arms. Both gentlemen em- phatically declared that Sir Jacobus de Wet distinctly informed them and other members of the committee that they could rely on the British Government to see that their grievances were redressed, Sir Hercules Robinson, now Lord Rosmead, having said so. Moreover, the Transvaal Government, through Chief Justice Kotze and Messrs. Ameshoff and Kock, pro- mised the redress of grievances. I asked both gentlemen whether they had any complaints to make as to their treatment in prison, and they replied that they had little to 'omplain of. At the time of the release of the ctner prwmers Mr. Cloefre, Sir Jacobus de Wet's temporary successor, saw President Kruger. who promised that special regulations should be made for the treatment of Messrs. Sampson and Daviea. Up to the present this promise has not been fulfilled. Instead of a copy of the prison rules being fixed in their cells, the two prisoners were brutally informed that they were subject to those rules like common felons. I gathered from tho two prisoners that their views have been fully laid before the Colonial Secretary, stress being especially laid upon the fact that President Krucer has not fulfilled his promises to redress their grievances. Mr. Chamberlain, in reply, has insisted overmuch upon the fact of the personal safety of the two prisoners, which they themselves regard as a mere detail. POSITION OF DR. LEYDS. The "Daily Chronicle" states that one of the disquieting factors in the Transvaal is the ar.ti-English influence at Pretoria. The head of this section is, of course, Dr. Leyds. Dr. Levels' position, however, is not what it was. His influence has declined since his return to tho Transvaal, and in no sense rivals or approaches that of the President. Moreover. it is not certain that he will be re-elected State Secretarv. His term of office expires in June. and if the Volksraad chooses him afresh it will not be by a large majority. Nor is it certain that Dr. Leyds desires to retain his present position. He would certainly like to be appointed the representative of the Trans- vaal at the Court of Berlin. It is probable, indeed, that in more than one European Court there will be increased representation of Trans- vaal interests. It is a measure of defence which is thought necessary. As for the inquiry, it is absolutely necessary to avert a. race war in South Africa. But it would have no paci- fying effect if it were thoueht in Afrikander circles that it was being worked to secure the whitewashing of the Chartered Company. O IN THE TRANSVAAL. A Soutth African contributor writes to the "Manchester Guardian" sta-ting that a census taken with the greatest care shows that 55,000 to 58,000, certainly not more, may be regarded as the actual number of foreign residents—men, wemen, and children-in the Transvaal, the claim of the Oulander population to be regarded as a majority being absolutely un- founded. If these facts can be brought out by the Committee (adds the correspondent), a good deal will have been done to clear away mischievous misunderstandings of the true position of things in the Transvaal. MR. MACLEAN'S SPEECH. Commenting upon the recent speech made by the hon. member for Cardiff on South African affairs, "England" says:—"Mr. Maclean made one of theablesb and most effective speeches on Thursday last that have been delivered in the House of Commons for some tilne. It was full of point and humour and sarcasm, and it hit the Colonial Secretarv very hard indeed? Mr. Maclean was much applauded during his speech. It was listened to with the closest attention by a crowded House. Indeed, had a division as to the re- appointment of the South African Committee been taken after Mr. Maclean's speech, and free from the pressure of the Government influence, there is little doubt but that three- fourths of the House of Commons would have voted against its re-appointment. Mr. Maclean's brilliant speech has greatly raised him in Parliamentary opinion. 1 hough he has, indeed. long enjoyed the repute of being one of the best informed, as well as ovi of thp most effective, speakers in the House of Commons. He is a. man of wide experience, especially in Oriental affairs. He is a student of history, and he alwavs takes a broad and statesmanlike view of affairs, thus offering a remarkable contrast to the majority of mem- bers, especially on the Radical side. whose views are as narrow as their knowledge is infinitesimal."

SOUTH AFRICA COMMITTEE PROCEEDINGS TO BE SHORT. It is becoming dlearer (says the London cor- respondent of the "Manchester Guardian") that the South Africa, Committee will conclude its labours within a coinparartnvaly short period" Mr. Rhodes is of the opinion, I hear, that hM examination will not last more tha,n two sittings. This estimate is based on the opinion of the counsel he has engaged, wtn have taken a sort of precognition of his evi- dence with the view of ascertaining upon what points it may be necessary to support or supple- ment it before the Committee. Thfis has greatly reassured Mr. Rhodes' friends, and they are now expressing confidence that he will Come out of the ordeal "unscathed." An application is. pays the London cor- respondent of the "Yorkshire Post," likely to be made to the Home Secretary almost imme- diately for the release of Sir John Willoughbv and his fellow-prisoners during the sittings of the South Africa Committee. A precedent for the adoption of the course exists in the case of the Nationalist members, who were allowed their liberty during the sittings of the Parnell Commission. THE PRETORIA PRISONERS. The London correspondent of the "Western Daaly Mercury" hears that the adjournment of the House is likely to be moved very shortly to call attention to the continuous imprison- ment of tlsa Reform prisoners at Pretoria. We may expect that Mr. Maclean will playa. pro- minent part in this debate. SPECIAL REPORT OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE. A special report from the Select Committee on British South Africa was issued on Tuesday with the Parliamentary papers. The report consists of six resolutions adopted by the Select Committee concerning the procedure of the inquiry. Any persons deeming (heroselves interested who wish to appear by counsel muat make application bv Tuesday next.

XUUGER AND THE GENEVA CONTENTION. OVER RIDING THE LONDON CONVENTION. The following dispatches, published on Monday in the form of the Parliamentary paper in the treaty series of Foreign Office publications, tell their own tale: — Swiss Legation, London, October 9 1896. M. le Marquis,—On the 30th September last his Excellency, M. Beelaerts van Block- land, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotantiarv of the South African Re- public at The Hague, forwarded to the Swiss Federal Council, in the name of his Govern- ment. the act of accession of that State to the Convention, concluded at Geneva on the 22nd August, 1864, for the amelioration of the condition of the wounded in armiet3 iu the field (Red Cross). Under instructions from my Government I have the honour to notify to your lordship this accession, and I avail, See., (Signed) F. DE SALIS. Foreign Office, January 5, 1897. Sir,—Her Majesty's Government have not failed to consider the announcement in Count de Salis' note of the 9th October last, of the accession of the South African Republio to the Geneva Red Crosfe Convention. Under the terms of Artidle IV. of the Lon- don Convention of 1884. such an engagement on the part of the South African Republic requires her Majesty's approval; and I have the honour to inform you that the Queen's assent to the accession in question will be communicated to the Government of the Republio.—I have, &c., (Signed) SALISBURY.

PLAGUE AND FAMINE IN I INDIA. BURNING INJECTED HOUSES. The Bombay correspondent of the "Dailj Mail" telegra-pns —The scandalous inefficiency of the segregation hospital provided by the municipality is attracting public attention, and it is contended by prominent medical men and sanitary authorities of the city that the building is simply a breeding-ground for tha plague. The very vultures of the Towers of Silence are cow dying of the disease, as a. consequence of gorging themselves on the bodies of the human victims. A number of small native houses in which cases have occurred have been burned, and it is probable that further use will be made of the plan of purification by fire in the infected quarters. I OF WOLLEN ARTICLES. In the. House of Commons on Tuesdav, Mr. BALFOUR, replying to Mr. Godson, said that the Secretary of State for India. was In communication with. the Indian Government with reference to the importation of woollen manufactured articles from the plague-strickwi districts in India, and the Indian Government were thoroughly alive to the responsibilities which re-ted upon them. He trusted nothing would be said or done in this country which would unnecessarily hamper the course of trade. NEGLECT OF THE PATIENTS. The Bombay correspondent of the "Daily Mail" gays:—The scandalous inadequacy of the provision made for the attendance a.nd comfort of the plague patients in the infectious diseases hospital here is shown by the fact that on many occasions the patients are allowed to remain alone and unte-nded all night, waiting the arrival of the doctor in the morning. As a consequence of this scandalous neglect very many of the stricken natives have diied in the night. NO CAUSE FOR ALARM IN EUROPE. A Reuter's telegram from Paris on Wednes- day says :—M. Feiix Faure visited this morning tho Pasteur laboratories, and, in reply to his questions. Dr. Roux gave a. brief account of the bubonic plague and the manner in which the contagion is spread. Its development in India was, in Dr. Roux's opinion, above all due to the personal unciean- lmess of the individuals attacked. "Even Mould the epidemic break out at any point in iiurope, added the eminent bacteriologist; there would be no cause for alarm, as the germ was not likely to find a favourable soil for its development and would soon disappear," DEATH STATISTICS. 1T7A, Central News telegram from Bombay on j1 ss-ys: —The Grovernmerat have ordered the demolition of Marine Lines, road, and the work will be commenced to-morrew. The road contains 23 bungalows, belonging to admirals, generals, and staff officers. The measure is due to sanitary reasons. The fol- lowing plague statistics can be accepted as authentic:—The deaths in Bombay total 4,750, in the surrounding districts 1,094, in Kurraohee 1,198, and in Scinde 54. MANSION HOUSE RELIEF FUND. The Mansion House Indian Famine Relief Fund amounted on Wednesday evening to b257,000. The Lord Mayor on Wednesday remitted to India a further sum of JB35 000 making a total of £235,000 remitted to date. THE ATTITUDE OF THE GOVERN- MENT. In the House of Lords on Monday Earl ONSLOW, replying to Lord ivirmaird, said he was not aware that the Government of the Earl of Elgin had ever given any undertaking that the Government would be able entirely to prevent loss of life by famine. The statement they had made was that the Government recognised that it should be in a position to say that no persons, if they made proper application for relief at the relief works, need lose their lives. He was not in a position to contradict the noble lord s statement, made on the authority of a Reuters telegram, that in one district there had been 250,000 deaths from starvation, but he should be surprised if it turned out to be correct, as it was opposed to all the informa- tion in the possession of the Government. He could not then state what number of deaths from starvation had occurred, but the Secre- tary of State had telegraphed for information on the point. The Government had that day received from the Viceroy a-re-assuring tele- gram. 3IAYOR OF CARDIFF FORWARDS £1,000. The Mayor of Cardiff (Alderman E Beavan, J P.) on Wednesday forwarded to the Lord v 0*k°n<ion a cheque for £ 1,000, being the first instalment of the amount subscribed by Cardiff. We understand the tctal of the fund now reaches about £1,350. PEMBROKE FUND. At th., quarterly meeting of the Pembroke Town Council on Tuesday Mr. S. J. Alien, the mayor, said that he had received a letter from the Lord Mayor of London relative to the Indian Famine Relief Fund, and had commu- nicated with the clergy and ministers in the borough, with the result, 'he was pxeased to say, that they had fallen in with his views, and intended to make a special collection next Sunday towards ■Hhe object.

TURKISH AFFAIRS. QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT. In th3 House of Commons on Tuesday, Sir ELLlS A.&ID1.E.A.U-.lLlliTLE L'l asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the fact that the Turkish Government had granted 10 Crete all the concessions asked by the Powers, Great Britain and the other Powers would tace effi- cient steps to protect the Mussulman inhabi- tants, especially in the interior, from pillage and massacre. Mr. CURZON stated that. in concert with the other Powers, the British Government were using the best possible means to re-estab- lish public ordeit. There was nothing to show that the Mussulmans were the chief sufferers. Mr. STEVENSON asked whether it was a fact that all the reforms had been carried into execution. Mr. CURZON said there had not been enough time. The commissioners were con- tinuing their labours with regard to carrying out these promises, and there was reason to hope that later on all would be fulfilled. Sir ELLIS ASHMEAD-BARTLErr asked whether any arrangement had been made by the Powers for the provision of an efficient foice to maintain order. Mr. CURZON said that that was the object which the gendarmerie commission had in view. The gendarmerie itself had just Leen con- stituted, and the major in comma ad took up his duties on Monday. Mr STEVENSON Mked whether the Foreign Office had received any confirmation of the. statement that a provisional Government had been set up and a. union with i^eece pro- claimed-^ Mr. CURZON said her Majesty's Govern- ment had beard nothing of such a. provisional Government. The only information they had received bearing on the point was that the Greek flag was raid, three lays ago, to have been hoisted by a party of insurgents, who were reported to have proclaimed the annexation of the island to Greece. These reports lad not been confirmed. The latest news frnn Canea was that order had been re-established and public business re-com- nenced. FIFTEEN SOLDIERS KII LED. A Reuter's telegram from Athens on Tues- day (f< ur p.m.) says:—There nas beer, an encounter on the outskirts of Canea between the Turkish troops and a number of Cretans. The troops wcie accompanied by a numlier of well-armed Mussulmans. Fifteen soldiers were killed. A general resumption of hos- tilities is expected. A Central News telegram from Athena on Tuesday says:—Terrible atrocities are announced to have been oonimif-Bd by the Turks in the interior of Crete. THE YOUNG TURKISH PARTY. A Reuter's telegram from Constantinople on Monday says :—A certain amount of anxiecy prevails here, owing to rumours that the Young Turkish party axe preparing to cause distur- bances at an early date esterday the Em- bassies received copies of a manifesto, which pvrports to be dated from the head office of the association at Stamboul. It declares that the Mi £ ,sulmans did not joir the Armenian movement, as they believed that the Powers were about to intervene, but, now that it is patent that the Powers are only temporising, they warn the Ambassadors ;n order that they may inform their Governments that the Young Turks have decided to have recourse to the same means as those adopted by the Armenians to put an end to the intolerable present regime. The Russian Embassy has addressed a letter to tho Porte referring to the reporti of im- pending disturbances, pointing out the necessity of r re venting an outbreak, a.nd dwelling upon the danger which any development of the dis- turbances mipht Involve for the integrity of the Ottoman Empire. This step on the part of Rusda has made a certain impression in diplo- matic circles, especially taken in conjunction with the news from Odessa that the naval dock- yards at that port are working actively, in order to enable the Black Sea squadron to put to sea at a. moment's notice.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. A Reuter's telegram from Washington on Wednesday says:—The House of Representa- tives and Senate In joint session to-day counted the electoral votes recorded by the 45 States in the Presidential election. Congress officially declared Mr. M'Kinley and Mr. Hobart I elected as President and Vice-President re- spectively with 271 electoral votes. Mr. Bryan was officially stated to have received 176. Mr. Sewell 149, and Mr. Watem Z1 votes only.

North, Mr. Evan John, and Mr. Evan Ivor Williams. THE CHARGE. Justice Lawrance, in delivering his charge to the grand jury, congratulated them and the county generally upon the lightness of the calendar. There were, he said, only 31 pri- soners, which resolved themselves into 22 or 23 caees. With one or two exceptions, the charges were extremely light. There were, he said, one or two serious cases, but even those were not so serious as he had been accustomed to meet at Cardiff and Swansea. There was one case of manslaughter and two of wounding with intent to do grievous bodilv harm. There was also a. serious case of night poaching, in which the prisoners were charged with assault with intent to murder. there was another matter upon which he desired to con- gratulate the county, and that was that there were on]y two charges trader the Criminal Law Amendment Act. At previous assizes there had been a large number of cases of assaults upon young girls, but in the present instance there were few of that kind. In regard to the manslaughter, it was a case in which J*up Cook was charged with killing her infant child by neglecting to supply it with sufficient and proper food. His lordship described the air- cumstances connected with the poaching case, and said that as the other charges would pre- sent no difficulty to the grand jury he need not take up their time by referring to them. TRIALS OF PRISONERS. ,N0L' GUILTY. James (20), labourer, pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging him with stealing with personal violence a.t Cardiff a purse and 22 shillings from the person of a seaman named U.homa £ Jones. Mr. --< Kgon proseouted, and prisoner was undefended. — Jones stated that about 12.30 on the 26th ullt. he was in a coffee tavern at the docks. Prisoner offered to find him a place to sleep in, but when they got outside Ware collared him by the neck and relieved him of his purse. When the prisoner was aires ted on board a boat on the Glamorgan- shire Canal by Police-constable Geo. Watkins he only had Is. 9td, in his possession. He made no reply to the charge at the time. He now complained that he had been bacuv beaten by three policemen when he was hauled out of his bunk. The jury were not satisfied with the evidence, and brought in a verdict of "not guilty."—Prisoner was discharged. PLEADED GUILTY. Elizabeth Payne. 21, pleaded guilty to steal- ing Is. 6<1, a skirt, and other Trticles. belong- ln,g ^A \0rsi: at Cardiff, on the 15th ult. Mr. Douglas Lewis appeared for the prosecu- tion.—Prisoner was sent to gaol for two months with hard labour. THEFT OF TIMBER. James Jackman (52), mason, was charged with stealing a quaauty of timber at Cardiff on the 25th of J^JrlUary* Mr. C. J. Jackson prose- cuted—Por-oe-sergeaat Henry Waters found prisoner carrying a plaónk home, and asktd where he got He said it had been lent to him by Mr. ™ illiam Matthias, a builder, of Cardiff. Furlher inquiries proved that this was untrue, and that the plank, as well as five other p.ec^ of timber, had been stolen {rom the new Jews Synagogue in Cathedral-road.—Priso- ner stated that he thought the plank belonged to Mr. Matthias, and went to ask him for the loan of it in order that he might do some work at home during the frost. He failed to find Mr Matthias, and book the plank without his per- mission, intending to explain to him again. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and, pre- vious oonvictione for felony having b^en ad- mitted, he was sentenced to six moaths' im- prisonment wibh hard labour. FALSE PRETENCES AT CARDIFF. Francis Thomas Allsopp, 64, dealer, Cardiff, pleaded guilty to a charge of obtaining by false pretences from Arthur Yapp twonty turkeys, three geese, two ducks. nir;d ten chickens, on the 11th of December.—Mr.: Arthur Lewis, who appeared for the prosecu- tion, said Mr. Yapp, who was a farmer, advtr- tised poultry for sale in the Hereford Times." Prisoner, who wrote as from No. 1, Wyndham- crescent, Cardiff, ordered a certain quantity of poultiy, setting down the prices he was pre pared to pay. The poultry was sent, amd a debt of £13 19a lOdu incurtred. Prisoner, when written to by the prosecutor, sent a worthless acceptance on a bank at Hereford, find it was subsequently discovered that he had disposed of some of the poultry at prices below those which he offered to pay. The only connections he had with No. 1, Wynd- ham crescent, was that the tenant allowed him to have letters addressed there.—A previous 'focvictdon was admitted, and prisoner was sent bo gaol for nine months, with hard labour. STEALING BOOTS AT MERTHYR. Thomas Williams, 54, carpenter, pleaded guilty to steading a pair of boots, the property of George Oliver, at Cardiff, on January 19.— Mr. Downs, who appeared for the prosecution, sand the boots were taken from outside Mr Oliver's shop and pawned by the prisoner.—A previous conviction having been admitted, pri- soner was seutenoed to nine calendar montlis' imprisonment. FORGERY AT SWANSEA. John Edwards, 34, commission agent, pleaded guilty to forging a. che ue for 158. at Swansea, in December last.—Mr. Glaseodine, who prosecuted, said the cheque was presented in payment for a pair of shoes, and prisoner received the change.—Previous convictions were admitted, but, as the prisoner had been in gaol for two months, he was sent back for seven months only. STEALING AN OVERCOAT. Frederick Charles, 27, sailor, pleaded guilty to stealing an overcoat, the property of Joseph Orook and another, at Cardiff—Prisoner ad- mitted previous convictions, but added in pallia- tion tha.t he had always been drunk when he had taken any thing.—JECis Lordship said he was afraid the prisoner had been drunk a good many times, as re had a long list of convictions re corded against him, and he had also spent four years in a reformatory. He would have to go to gaol for nine months. ALUbUiflD ARfcSON AT MERTHYR, Evan Jones, 32, labourer, was indicted for feloniously and maliciously setting fare to a house, owned by Mr. Harris Freedman, at Merthyr. Mr. Parsons appeared for the prose- cution, and Mr. Ernest Bowen Rowlands defended. It was stated that prisoner was formerly employed by Mr. Freedman at a shop in Mill-street, Merthyr, but left on the 15th of November, and the &hop was locked up. About 12-30 on the morning of the 7th of December Miss Price, a. barmaid at the Duke Inn, which is opposite the shop, noticed a light in a cupboard on the premises, and, knowing that there was no one living on the premises, she called the attention of a pohce- man to the fact. The constable burst open the door, and found some rags and paper on fire, a.nd the cupboard also smouldering. Pri- soner was found under the counter, and in his possession was discovered a. key which fitted the look on the front door.—Miss Price, in cross-examination, admitted that the fire was extmgiuisned by simply closing the cupboard.— The defence was that prisoner went to the shop to look for a boot which he thought he had left there, and accidentally set fire to some paper. Mr. Rowlands also argued that the proceedings were taken under the wrong section.—Prisoner was found not guilty, and was discharged. THEFT FROM A BARRY INSTITUTE. Arthur Jones, 33, ship's steward, was charged with stealing i;10 in silver on January 28 at Barry. Mr. Arthur Lewis appeared for the prosecution, and prisoner was undefended. The evidence produced by Mr. Lewis showed that prisoner had been employed as a waiter at the Institute of the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes, in Thompson-street, Barry. On the date named Mr. Miller, the steward of the institute, put the sum of £10 in silver into the till, and subsequently went to Cardiff, leaving his wife in charge of the premises. Aboui two o'clock in the afternoon prisoner, who was only engaged in the evening, and another man entered the institute. Presently the second man went out, leaving prisoner only in the bar- Mrs. Miller had to run upstairs for a moment, and as she came down she heard the chink of money. On going into the bar Mrs. Miller found the money had gone Prisoner said, "I think I'll go and have dinner now." Mrs. Miller accused him of having taken the money, adding, "You were the only man in the bar." To this prisoner replied, "Ye5, I know I was; that's the worst of it." Although prisoner had tried to borrow sixpence from a. friend on the afternoon when the robbery took place, he had a. florin, three sixpenny pieces, and Is. 2id. in coppers in his possession when arrested by Police-sergeant Evans. He also had a brass skeleton key. In answer to the charge he said, "I ca.nnot say I am not guilty of it: will you acquaint my wife?" Then, turning to the inspector, he aid, "Please put it down. I ad not guilty. Tak is a very serious matter ior tne."—Prisoner strongly denied the accusation, and said the money fÔlm-d upon him he had received from two sailors in part-payment of a debt.—The pr.rjncr was found guilty. and sentenced to nino months' imprisonment. The court then adjourned NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Grantham.) Busin»ys in the civil court commenced on Salar-iy in the Town-hall at 11.30. Betcro the trials were taken appli- cations were made to the learned judge as to several cases which should or should not tako priority —His Lordship said the proper course to pursue ,hell the judge fixed the days for the hearing of triala was for the clerk of assize to a",k the judge on which days he would take non-jury cases. It was absurd that the suitors should be kept there for two days at a great expense. JUDGES UNCOMFORTABLE. ONE TOO HOT AND THE OTHER TOO COLD. Discussion then fallowed as to the length of time it would take to dispose of all the cases. Fair headway had been made with one of the cases when it was noticed that Mr. Justice Grantham became fidgety and uneasy, anxiously looking en the floor all round him as though he had lost something he could not find, or smelt something he didn't like, or felt tbe e must be a rornet's nest somewhere round alout. He soon relieved his pent-up feelings, and when the'situation had become no longer sufferable h& faid he Wag not sure the work would last as long as the judge, because, as he explained, "he was sitting in a bath." He felt as though he was being stewed, and would shortly evaporate. Why," he added, taking another look all round and behind, I am surrounded by a hot coil. I don't know whether there are any means of cutting it off." The Bar and everyone in court felt quite sorry for the judge, a.ud they also aoon had to extend their sympathy to his learned brother in the othfT court, who, Mr. B. Francis Williams explained, could not get >on. and felt quite cold." NO APPEARANCE. Debranca v. Samuel.—In this case, whidh was an action for blander. Mr. Villinrs Meager (for the defendant) said plaintiff did not appear, and in that case judgment went lor the defen- dant. The Court adjourned at 5.40

SECOND DAY. The Glamorgan Winter Assizes, adjourned from Saturday, were resumed at Cardiff Town- hall on Monday morning at 10.30. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Lawrance.) FIGHT BETWEEN SEAMEN. Tho first case was that in which Antonio BovelE, aged 25, was indicted on a. charge of maliciously and feloniously wounding Ernest Boniface with intent to do him grievous bodly harm. The case had been adjourned from Saturday, ae Boniface was away at sea To- day he had not returned, and tho charge was proceeded with in his absence.—Mr. Parsons, who prosecuted, called evidence to show that both Boniface and his assailant were employed on the steamship Charing Cross, of Cardiff. On December 24 a quarrel arose be- tween the men. in the course of which it was alleged Bovelli had used a razor upon Boniface —Prisoner was found guilty, and was sentenced to imprisonment for tix. calendar months with hard labour. RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY. John Bolton was placed in the dock to answer a- charge of stealing three gold and 50 silver watches, the property of Louis, Samuel and others, and also receiving the same knowing theim to have been stolen, between September 27 and 28, 1895.—Mr. C. H. Downed. in opening the case for the prosecution, said he wished to draw the attention of the jury more particularly to the charge of receiv- ing, as, though Bolton was charged with stealing oyer 50 watches, only one had been traced to his possession.—The first witness called was Edwin Walter Clements, of 31, Sfcrathnairn* street.—He said in September. 1895, he was manager for Messrs. Samuel, of the Atlais ur- nishmg Company. On the evening of Septem- ber 27, 1895, he left the premises in Working- streot locked up and secure. On returning the following morning he found that an entry had been effected, and that from a. case containing 100 watches part had beei abstracted. The watch produced was one of those missed. He identified it by the number, and the name upon the face of the works. —Detective Rankin stated that on September 29, 1895. he went to the premises of the Atlas Furnishing Company, and found that the build- ing had been broken into. An entry had been effected from a shed at the back of the Oxford Hotel, from where the entrant had pushed back the latch of a window.—Detective John Stephens then went into the box. On W euaes- day, January 6, 1897, he visited Bolton's house and ashd prisoner to show him his watch. Bolton showed him one, but it wae a. Waterbury, and witness asked for "the other one." Prisoner then pulled out another watch from his pocket. That one was the one which had been identified by the first witness as be- longing to Messrs. Samuel. Witness also found in the house ten pairs of boots, some of which had been since proved to have bean sidell property.—Mr. Woodfall, who defended, ciess-examined, and proceeded to obtain from Stephens a description of the boots mentioned, but v- as pulled up by his lordship, who re- marked that they did not want to know the natural history of each boot. (Laughter.) —Further evidence relating to these boots wa? called, a.nd brought to a conclusion the case for the prosecution.—Mr. Woodfall, in his address to the jury. referred to the dangerous nature of Bolton's business, which was that of a dealer in second-hand boots. He also called a. witness named Joseph Gundley, a former assistant in Bolton's shop, who gave, evidence to the effect that the boots produced had been wûrn, and had been published up for sale in the shop.—Bolton was found guilty of receiving, aid a previous conviction was proved against him.—H;s Lordship, in passing sentence, said that, no doubt, prisoner's shot) had been a plao? where stolen property could be got rid of. He had been convicted before of uttering counter- feit coin. and also of keemng a. brothel, a.nd would now be sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. WANTON DAMAGE. A young Irishwoman. Bridget Donovan, had been sent up bv the Cardiff magistrates on a oharge of breaking the window of Mr. Henry Carpenter, boot and shoe maker, in St. Mary- vtreet Cardiff, and doincr damagre to the ex- tend of £6 lis 3d —Mr. W Llewelyn Williams was for the prosecution. It seems that Miss Donovan had become embroiled in a. row with some men, and in the midst of it she deli- berately walked up to Mr. Carpenter's window and crashed her hands through it. Her own storv was that she was stabbed, and fainted away afjain^t the window. The jury bel'e-ed the prosecution, and when Inspector Scott read out a long list of previous convictions for serious offences, th& judge had no hesitation in sending her down for six monthll hard labour. TELL-TALE EVIDENCE. Walter Goodwin (haulier) was found guilty of stealing a silver watch and chain from the pereon of Charles Jones, and at the same time usinsr personal violence towards him at Ystrad- fodwg on January 5. The theft was committed after Jones had come out of the Miskin Hotel, Trealaw. Goodwin was arrested, and on the way to the police-station dropped the watch, which was picked up by the constable who had prisoner in custody.—Prisoner was sentenced to six calendar months' imprisonment. A GROUNDLESS CHARGE. The next case was mostly remarkable for the oiever way in which the male defendant, a young labourer named Thomas Davies, defended luniself. He was charged, together with Mary Ann Arnold, with feloniously assaulting Margaret Williams, and stealing from her person one shawl, value jBl, and at the same time using personal violence towards her. The offence was alleged to have been oommitted outi-ide tho Queen's Hotel, Swansea. Da.vies was said to have knocked Wiilldams down, and caused Arnold to come up and take the shawl i from the woman as she by on the ground. Subsequently accused were arrested, but the shawl was not found upon either. Both Williams and the constable who made the arrests were cross-examined by Davies in a very intelligent manner, and as Williams was proved to have been drunk at the time, and at firsrt had made no charge against Davies, both prisoners were discharged. A SERIOUS CHARGE. Reea Morgan, Arthur Hayward, ani John Harris, \hre^ respectable looking young men, ■were indicted with having1 feloniously rstfaulted William Drinkwater, and stealing from his person fl 15s., one purse, knife, and threw cheques, and at the same time using 'jtersonal violence towards him at Swansga on December 10. Mr Plews prosecuted.—William Drink- water, hay merc'hant, of Gloucester, .-aid he was in Swansea on the evening of December 10, and was near High-s^xet, when he was accosted by the three prisoners, 'vho asked bim where he was going to. He told them to the Welcome Coffee Tavern, and they then caught hold of his arms and pulled and hurried him along. When he resented their attentions they struck him repaatedlv on the f..C9 and mcuth, and eventually knocked pan down senseless. He recovered and gave information to the police.—The evidence of iho latter was t, the effect that on the evening of the 10th, Drinkwater was drunk, and was cut alxmt the face. The wounds on the face might have l<-en caused by a fall. The fhroe cheques wera brcught too the police-station on rhe following dsv by Hayward, who said he had p;cked them up in the street. It wss afterwards that he pnd the other tw o prisoners were arrested. On the evening of the lCtlh Drinkvrater was in the company of a nnTiber of srirls in the Blue Bell Hotel, and it was outside the bouse where some of these women lived that the robber* was alleored to have taken place.—When asked if they h«d anything to say to the jury, all three youths nleaded "Not guilty," and Hay- v«rd said that since hiis arrest bis mother had died and his father had disappeared. v«rd said that since his arrest his mother had died and hie father had disappeared. —The iuiy returned a verdict of "Not sruilty." which decision waa received with suppressed ANOTHER SWANSEA CASE. applause. The next occupants of the dock also hailed from Swansea They were Charles Jones, Margaret Williams, and Bridget Morritiey, who were charged with feloniously assaulting Joseph Parkes and stealing from his person the sum of 2s. with personal violence at Swansea.— The jury found prisoners guilty, and they were sentenced—Jones to «ix calendar months' and the two women to four months' imprisonment each.

THIRD DAY. I CROWN COURT. I (Before Mr. Justice Lawrance.) WALES TO ENGLAND FOR DRINK. Thomas Hill, a labourer, was indicted on a charge of maihoiousiy and feloniously wound- ing Isaao Trott, at Cardiff, on January 0L 0'1 that day Trott, who is a dock labourer, made an excursion to Rumnev in the morning. He returned after having two pints of beer, and on the way back met Hill. Trott's ver- sion of the affair, as elicited by Mr. Douglas Lewis, who appeared for the prosecution, was rather ojmicai. Mr. Lewis: When you met Hill what hap- pened ? Witness: I said to him. How are you, my little Sandow?" (Laughter.) Oh and what did Hill say? He said, You are a bigger man than me, but I should like to have a couple of rounds with you." Then what took place? I hit him ou the jaw. And what did ho do? He knocked the pipe out of my mouth, and witb the same struck me on the side of the head 'His Lordship: Do you mean with the pipe? (Laughter.) No; with a knife in his hand. Mr. Lewis; What did you mean by saying Little Sandow or Sunflower ? (Laughter.) Oh, just to pass the time of day. (Laughter.) Corroborative evidence of the assault was given. and after Mr. Bowen had called evi- dence for the defence the jury returned a. ver- dict of unlawful wounding under provocation. Prisoner was sentenced to two months' im- prisonment with hard labour. CHARGE OF FORGERY. William Alexander Davies pleaded not guilty to a chargie of feloniously uttering a bill of exchange, knowing it to be a. forgery. Mr. Ivor Bowen prosecuted, and explained the circum- stances of the case. On the 7th of September Mr. Shepherd, an auctioneer, of Gwaum-cae- Gurwen, near Swansea, was conducting a sale of ponies, at which prisoner purchased an animal for £2158. The a-rrangement of sale was that if the purchaser had not got the money he could produce a bill of exchange. signed by some responsible person On the day of sale such a bill was drawn up by Mr. Shepherd's son and given to prisoner, who took it away to get the si.ra;ture of a friend. On September 10 aelendant came back to Mr. Shepherd's office, and brought the bill, purporting to be signed by a man named Evan Thomas, Ty Top. The bill became due in three months after date. and then Mr. Shepherd wrote to Mr. Thomas at the address ariven, but was told that the name upon the bill was a. forgery, and fo proceedings were taken. Subsequently prisoner offered to pay the money, hut his offer was too late to stay these proceedings. Evidence bearing out counsel's opening 9t:Hements was called.—Pri- soner pleaded that the oa&e had been brought against him for the sake of revenge, because he owed Mr. Shepherd JB15 —The jury found pri- soner guilty of issuing the bill, and he was sen- tenced to two months' imprisonment with hard labour.

FOURTH DAY. NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice GRANTHAM.) ALLEGED ILLEGAL DISTRESS. Davies v. Slade.—This was a claim brought by Harold Davies, of Clare-street, Cardiff, against Mrs. Margaret Slade, wife "f an acoounnant at Newport, for £200 damages for illegal distress. Mr. B. Francis William?, Q.U., and Mr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Mr. H. Morgan Rees, solicitor) appeared for the plain- ^miiaciie (instructed by Mi. Vv. Cook, solicitor) for the defendant.-— The deiendant, wh-> is the manager of the Car- diff Candle Company, in April, 1896, leased a shop, 51, Portmanmoor-road. from Mr. W. S. Llewellyn, and paid £50 for certain fixtures. At the time he had no idea. that Mrs. Slade had any interest in the premises, but in Sep- tember he had a letter from Mr. Cook stating that Mrs. Slade, as mortgagee, had beconia en- titled to the property, and desired him to pay all the rent that was owmg. This amounted to about £15, but aB Mr. Llewellyn was in- debted to plaintiff for several pounds for goods supplied, plaintiff deducted the amount, and sent the balance, £6 6.'1., to Mr Uook. Th..s sum was refused, and on the 31st of October defendant distrained upon the premises, and the stock and fittings were taken to the Castle- street Saleroom and sold by auction. Although the whole of the stock, which plaintiff valued at £ l00. and the fittings, which were -alued at £50, were taken away, plaintiff only received as a result of the sale £ 34. In addition to this, he had, it waa alleged, suffered considerable loss and inconvenience by the trouble and the indignity he had been submitted to, and for this the damages were claimed.— The case lasted until late in the afternoon, hut very little was elicited of public infest. For the mosi port the time waa occupied in dry legal arguments. In summing up, the Judge said the whole point of the case lay in the allegation that Airs. Slade wrongly distrained and sold or caused to be wrongly distrained and sold the plaintiff's goods. The defence was that Mrs. Slade never sold at all, and be thought that that was probably the view of the case the jury had taken, it was true that a dis- tress warrant was issued, but Messr-. Bailey and Giller, the auctioneers, had sworn that the sale was not. under a distress warrant, but in consequence of instructions ricetved from the plaintiff himself. Certain :t was, that the sale did not take place on the prem.ses, but at a eale-room in the town. and on the advertisements no reference was mide to any distress warrant. In addition to th's, it had transpired that prior to the distress plaintiff had been in negotiation with the auctioneers with a view to disposing of his busiiets, and it was also clear that he got into financial ddti- culties. He (his lordship) thought that plain- tiff had acknowledged Mrs. Slade as tb<? persoi to whom the rent was due, and failed to see how in any way the plaintiff oould substan- tiate his claim. The amount of money in dis- pute was some £3 or JB4, and ihat trivial amount had been the cause of tjl those pro- ceedings and heavy legal costs, -The j''ry. without retiring, returned a verdict for the defendant. There wa>s a counter-claim in the case, end the judge and jury's verdict would I carry that as a natural consequence. CLAIM AGAINST A BANKING COMPANY. Griffiths v. Lloyds Banking Company (Limited).—In this case Mary Griffiths, the wifu of a Pontypridd builder, who carries on b'le-nwfl at Pontypridd under the name of Griffiths and Co., claimed JB275 from L'loyds Baking Company (Limited), whdein she alleged was duo to her under a contract for certain building work.—Mr. Brynmor Jones, Q.C., M.P., and Mr. Kelly (instructed by Mir. W, R. Davies, Pontypridd) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Abel Thomas, Q-y-> M.P., and Mr. Douglas Lewi* (instructed oy Messrs. Spickett and Sons, Pontynridd) ap- peared for the defence.—The plaintiff had only started upon her evidence when the court rose for the dav. h The whole of Thursday was occupied in hear- ing purely technical evidence, which although material to the case itself, was absoH ely with- out interest for the puKic. or the most part it dealt with the details of the builcnng, the formation of the plans, and tne en ries in cer- tain books.—In cross-examination, Mr. Grffithg admitted that he had pignel ,ln which the contract was stated to be £ 300, but he said that in neither case did he notice the sum, or he would not have signed. Addressing the jury, Mr. Abel Thomas cotnended tha.t the plaintiff's husband contracted to do the work for £300. and there was no reference made to day work.—Mr. Lewis, manager of Lloyd's Bank at Pontypridd; Mr. STHckett. solicitor; and Mr. A. 0, Evans, architect, gave evidence. The evidence for the defence had not con- cluded when the court rose for the day.

A WILD BOY AT SWANSEA. I Inspector Pearse, of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, brought before the Swansea bench on Wednesday the case of a. lad named Brinley Richards, who appeared to be in a deplorably neglected con- dition. The lad was charged with wandering about without proper guardianship, and the inspector said tha.t since the death of his mother the father had removed to Pontardawe, and the boy had led the life of a "wild boy" in Swansea, picking up a living by theft, selling J newspapers, &o.—The Bench remanded the boy to the workhouse till Monday.

STenuous efforts must, therefore, made to carry on tne work, and all must do what they could to make that baZ^ a success. It was inevitable that teach*1; must have a very hard life. Their constat effort-often a. difficult to imp3^ instruction, and, beyond that, they had work hard to keep up their own level not fall below the successful mark. In jjr opinion, the influence of teachers on the being of the State and of the Empire vo incalculable.
