SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1899. SUMMARY. I LOCAL. The Rev. D. Cadvan Jones, of Carmarthen, died on Sunday afternoon. The Board of Trade inquiry into the loss of the Londonian was concluded 011 Saturday, judgment being reserved. Shortly after flva o'clock on Monday morn- ing a serious explosion of coal gas occurred on board the barquentine Xesto, in the Bute West. Dock, at Cardiff. Luckily, no lives were lost, but marvellous escapes are reported. The strike of tin-plate workers at Llanelly is ended. Or. Friday morning delegates repre- senting nearly 2,000 men met, and a ballot was taken on terms offered by the employers. The result was a majority of 54 in favour of accepting thsse terms. A meeting of the Cardiff governors under the Welsh Intermediate Education Act was held on Tuesday afternoon at the Town-hall. Regret was expressed that so little advantage was taken of the scholar hips offered, and an appeal was made to the parents of the children attend- ing the elementary schools to exert themseiTes in the matter. The half-yearly meeting of the Taff Vale Railway Company was held at the Royal Hotel. Bristol, on Tuesday, under the presidency of Mr. Vassail. The Chairman pointed out that the company had lost over JE200,000 in revenue owing to the strike, but congraWated the shareholders that they had been able to main- tain the status of their trustee stocks. He pro- posed dividends at the rate of 4 per cent. on the preference stock and 2 2-5 per cent. on the ordinary stock, equal to 6 per cent. on the old ordinary stock. Mr. Russell Rea seconded the proposition, and it was carried without com- ment.

GENERAL. The debate on the Address was continued in the House of Commons on Wednesday. The Red Star Line steamer Rhynland, which stranded on January 31 last in Chesapeake Bay, has now been re-floated. At the Old Bailey on Tuesday Charles John Lark, alias John Thomas, a native of Swansea, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude for warehouse-breaking in the City. The police are making every effort to eluci- date the Cheshire mystery, but as yet nothing has been discovered throwing light on the remarkable narrative told by Miss Rose Day. A destructive farm fire occurred at Clyst St. Mary, near Exeter, on Wednesday morning, and damage was done to the extent of about £ 2,000. The property was owned by Lord Dun- boyne. At the Old Bailey on Wednesday Jane White, 67, a nurse, was indicted for the murder of Alice Birmingham by performing upon her an alleged illegal operation. The case was adjourned. The North British line between Glasgow and Dumbarton stations was blocked on Wed- nesday morning through some wagons leaving the metals. Three wagons were precipitated over the embankment. At the Old Bailey on Wednesday Alfred Gar- dener, ticket-of-leave man, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude for robbery with violence from Maurice Auge, a French cook aboard one of Donald Currie's liners. At the Old Bailey on Tuesday Joseph Gray, alias James Maguire, 29, was sentenced to five years' penal servitude for personating an Army Reservist with intent to obtain pension money and with forging and uttering orders. At the Central Criminal Court on Tuesday George William Austin, indicted for the wilful murder of his four-year-old son in Clerkenwell, was ordered to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure. Dr. Scott, of Holloway, said prisoner was quite unfit to plead. The marriage of Mr. Matthew White Ridley and the Hon. Rosamond Cornelia Gwladys Guest (youngest daughter of Lord Wimborne) took place at St. George's Church, Hanover- square, London, on Wednesday afternoon. Judgment was given in the Court of Session, Edinburgh, on Friday, in the petitions pre. scnted in connection with the liquidation of Pattisons (Limited). The Lord President refused the petition for compulsory liquidation, and granted the petition for voluntary liquidation. The action brought by Mr. W. Sample, of Manchester, against the proprietors of "Sport- ing Luck" newspaper to recover a prize for having, as he alleged, picked out the first four horses in last year's City and Suburban race, was resumed in the Qlleen's Bench on Monday. The jury found for plaintiff for £ 250. In the Queen's Bench on Tuesday Mr. Louis Markes, mineral water manufacturer, of Poplar, recovered JE50 damages from the "East End News" in connection with a libellous para- graph, which imputed that he had taken pos- session of a quantity of old wooden blocks belonging to the Poplar Board of Works. At a private conference in Glasgow on Friday of the Scotch miners' delegates, it was agreed to demand an advance of 6d. per day in all districts outside Fifeshire and Clack- manna,n. These districts were instructed- to put forward a claim for lOd. per day advance, as the wages in Fifeshire and Clackmannan were under the level of the other countries.

FOREIGN. The Hereditary Prince Alfred of Saxe-Coburg- j Gotha, died at Meran on Monday. Caunt Caprivi, who succeeded Prince Bis- marck as Imperial Chancellor, died at Skyren on Monday. The Committee of the French Chamber has rejected the Government Bill for the revision of the Dreyfus case by the whole of the Court of Cassation. The British Consul at Colon, in South America, has requested the Governor of Jamaica to despatch a warship thither to pro- tect British residents. Details of the fighting in the Philippines on Sunday place the American casualties at twenty killed and 125 wounded. The Filipinos' bosses are not known, but must have been very large. A Reuter's telegram from Washington on Wednesday says:—A dispatch has been received from General Otis announcing that Aguinaldo has asked for a conference with the American commander-in-chief. The report of the/ Newfoundland Commis- sioners on the fisheries and other questions con- nected with the Colony will be published before the end of the present month. The document will be of a voluminous character.

_4_ HOMES FOR INEBRIATES. At a meeting of the Cardiff WTatch Committee on Wednesday the chief busi- ness was the consideration of a letter from the Home Office upon a question of providing homes for inebriates. The letter set out the provisions of the Act of 1898, and expressed the Home Secretary's "confident trust" that the Cardiff Corporation would take the matter into serious consideration.—In answer to questions, the Head-constable said that ha had been in communication with the Home Office, who informed him that a home was being established at Bristol. He had written to the warden of that institution, and was informed that for a grant of £ 1,000 the Cardiff Corporation could send an average of seven patients to the home for 25 years, whilst for n,,100 they might send fifteen patients, whilst there would be a charge of 6d. per head per day if those numbers were exceeded. He suggested that a sub-committee should be a.ppointed.-The suggestion was agreed to.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY AT NEW- PORT. A case of mistaken identity was heard by the Newport Borough magistrates on Wednes- day. William Saunders, an insurance agent, had been charged with assaulting Beatrice Dsnt, a young lady, in Durham-road. Before the sitting of the court, however, she had seen the young man, and declared that Saunders was not the person who had struck her on Sunday night as she was going home. The mistake arose through her indistinct recogni- tion of her assailant. Saunders was recom- mended to forgive and forget. lIe said he would try.

POST'S "C.B.Q." THE MOST EFFECTIVE CURE YET DIS- COVERED FOR GOUT AND RHEUMATISM. T. H. Roberts, Esq., Proprietor of "Illustrated Bite," writes: — 153, Fleet-street, London, E.C., September 22::d, 1893. Dear Sir,—I did nQt answer your letter cf some three months since, because I wanted to feel sure that the benefit I derived from "C.B.Q." was not simply temporary. I have- v. now to say that, prior to th2 autumn of 1897, I had frequent attacks of Gout, in some cases incapacitating me for six weeks at a time. About August, 1897, I began to try yoyr "C.B.Q. of course being careful as to diet, &c., and for the past twelve months have taken no other medicine, having used in ail ten bottle.. I have never laid up a single day sinca I first started your remedy. I give you my heariy thanks for what I have every reason to believe is a permanent cure from an atrociously pain- ful ailment.

COLOFN Y CYMRY. GA)," "IBIILSWYN." AMGUEDDFA GENEDLAETHOL—UN YXTE TAIR? Y mae'r cwestiwn o wneud cyfiawnder a Chymru yn y cyfeiriad hivn, sef ei gosod ar yr un tir a'r Iwerddon a Scotland a chaniatau iddi swm blynyddol at gynal Amgueddfa Geiiedlaethol, wedi bod o flaen Ty y Cyffredin fwy nag unwaith. Mewn effaith, atebiad y Llvwodraeth bob tro vdoedd, rhaia i Gymru yn gyntaf oil ben- derfvnu ar ryw dref fel ei Phrifddinas, a^ dod i'r Tv wedyn i ofyn am rodd i sefydlu Amguedafa a svrm blynyddol at ei gadw. Yn ddiweddar, yr ydys wedi deall fod mudiad ar drocd i berswadio y Llywodraeth i ranu y rhodd rhwng y tri choleg eenedl- aethol—Caerdydd, Bangor, ac Aberyst- wyth-iel y gallo pob un o honynt sefydlu Amgueddfa a'r tri i fod dan reolaeth Cynghor y Erifysgol. Pan oedd Mr. Maclean, yr aelod anrhydeddus dros Gaer- dydd, yn mynd i'r India, am ra.n o'r for- daith—o Lunden i Marseilles—yr oedd Mr. T. E. Ellis, A.S., a Mr. William Jones, A.S., yn cvd-deithio ag ef, a chafodd ym- gem gyfeillgar a hwynt ar y pwnc. Mewn llythyr at ysgrifenydd trcf Caerdydd—Mr. Wheatlev—dywed Mr. Maclean fod y ddau aelod' Cvmreig yn cydnabod hawl Caer- dydd, ond ar yr un pryd yn credu y dylid gwneud rhywbeth yn Mangor ac Aberyst- wyth. Fodd bynag, cytunent mai y peth goreu fyddai ffurfio dirorwyaeth ddvlan- wadol a chenedlaethol i fvnd i weled y Due a Ddyfnaint a Syr John Gorst yn ystod y mis nesaf gyda'r amcan o gael rhodd deilwng o Gymru. Pan ddarllenwyd y llythyr yn Mhwyllgor Senedddol Caerdydd dydd Llun, sylwodd y Cvnghorwr Edward Thomas O'Cochfarf") fod ymdreeh yn cael ei wncud i sicrhau fod y rhodd a ganiateir i Gymru i gaei ei rhanu rhwng y tri Choleg a'r Brifysgol i reoli y cyfan. Gwrthwyn- ebai ef hyny fel cenedlaetholwr, yn caru ei wlad o fiaen pobpeth arall, a byddai yn well ganddo gael un yn y gongl fwyaf anghysbell na gweled tri yn haner dihoeni o ddiifvr arian i'w cario'n mlaen yn efFeithiol. Dywedodd "Cochfarf" hefyd wrth y pwyllgor mai un o'r pethau pwysicaf i Gaerdydd oedd bod yn barod i ddweyd y gwnai unrhyw amser roddi i fyny ei ham- gueddia i un genediaethol ar v dealltwr- laeth ei bod i gael ei chynrychioli yn ol gwerth yr eiauo ar y bwrdd llywodraethol ac i'r Llywodraeth ddewis y gweddill; a dysgwvliai y byddai hyny wedi ei wneud cyn y cyfarfou nesaf, am fod tri o'r pwyll- gor Seneddol i n-vfarfocl py/yllgor yr am- guedara ac awutirdodau lteol eraill ar fyr- aer. Ac ychwanegodd "Cochfan" mai v cwestiwn mawr oe tti cael penderfyniad mai un Amguedcha s.^Jd i fod yn Nghymru. Ie, hwnw yw r un penaf a blaenaf; ac Hid. yw ond oferedd a gwastraff ar arian ac amser mynd o flaen y Due o Ddyfna-it a Syr John Gorst heb fod wedi penderfvnu ar hyny yi\ gyntaf oil.

CARMARTHEN BOROUGHS, A IiABOTJH CAND-DATE BEADY. PONTYPSIDD SOLICITOR OFFERS HIMSELF. Another Richmond is ready to take the field in the Carmarthen Boroughs, in the shape of a Labour candidate. The gentleman who is pre- pared to contest the division in this role is Mr. 'l'hos. Phillips, solicitor, now practising at Pontypridd and In the llhondda Valley. Mr. Phillips's address to the committee runs as follows: Pontypridd, Glamorganshire, February, 1329. Sirs,—I observe there is a possibility of tho Carmarthen Boroughs being represented at tho next election a Labour tandidato. It' this be the feeling, I am prepared to come forward and contest the seat. My antecedents with Llanelly being that I sened my articleship with our esteemed friend and eminent lawyer, Mr. D. liandeli, 1\i.P.. and to work side by side with this honourable gentle man in the future political world I feel assured would be a profound satisfaction throughout. Thus strengthened, my desire to be associated with, and represent noble adherents of, tne Liberal faith is invincible. I took much interest in and have always observed a general feeling in the welfare of the working and industrial population and the inhabitants of these districts. I held helping hand3 in the elections of Liberal members who were triumphantly returned in 1835. Mv political views would be apparent, and significantly prepared I am to uphold the firm m';nC!1')lf'q of tbe constituency if elected, and I feel would claim a just reward in the expe- diency of a cause most worthy of support—the ls bo.nr cause—and in the political arena of Llanelly. On hearing from you the views of the associa- tion, I would be prepared further to discuss the problems of the near future, and pledge to do credit in many reforms, and enhance the feign of the cause, having as mv guiding aspect the richness cf the Principality of Wales in its wealth, the means of labcur. the importance thereof in commercial intercourse, concurring in amity with needs of mankind in the enter- prise of all nations. I am absolutely conversant with labour instinct, have, indeed, closely associated with the vast working- community of this country, and lived in the heart of our unlimited coal- fields, works, and unequalled harbours, which, so well are adaoted to circumscribe and draw to our shores tbp trade cf the world. I have studied the need snd reQuirements and means of command of the Labour party, and can sympathise in the wisdom and common under- standing of the bulk of the masses, who are electors o.f members of Parliament, which so ciunlifies me to aspire to a juncture of repre- senting in the next t'arlu.ment the Liberal- Labour oolitioal element, of e Llanelly and Carmarthen Borough". Being a lawyer, I am Weil ki own. and prac- tice extensively in Wales. I will thank you to lay. and make public my letter, and make known my views to the asso- ciation at once. And will be pleased to hear from them. Believe me to rem-rin. Your;; faithful' TJiOTif/-Try 1 TíPS. Solicitor. To the Chairman and Committee of the Liberal Association. Llanelly.

RIGHTS OF A MABQIJESS. | TURNING SHEEP TO GBAZB 03% l ALLOTMENTS. An astounding case was opened on Tuesday in the Lewes County-court. It disclosed no le- remarkable a fact than this:—The Marquess of Abergavenny, the great landowner in district, claims the right to graze Eheep on Lewes people's allotments every winter spring from October 11 to April 5, or else c paid a solatium of £ 15 per annum. The allotments are on land which does not, aD never did, belong to the marquess, but is gleb6 ? land held by the rector of the Church at- i Thoma-s-at-Cliffe, the llev. Leslie Norris, son 0 a well-known Yorkshire ex-M.P. Tuesday action was by one of the allotment holders, Tapp by name, against his landlord, the rector, to recover 5s. for damage done to his cabbages by the Marquess of Abergavenny sheep, which the Rev. L. Norris, by refusing to pay the jE15 a year demanded, had not pre- vented from being turned to graze in the gar' dens. Long ages ago, probably by the very first Ancien; Britons who began to graze the Sussex j Downs, it was found that the sheep could not stand the winter on the hills. It was, therefore. agreed cunong the grazers that so soon as the corn harvest was over they should all allo« their sheep to come down to graze on the stubbles in the lower and warmer field?. In the course of time, said Mr. Prince, the soil" citor appearing for Tapp, this became the established custom that from October 11 to April 5 following all the sheep farmers on the downs formed a common flock, with the rig-ttt to graze free upon all the lower fields. In the course of time the downs came into the posses* sion of the Earls of Abergavenny, the Earla DO t La Warr, and an old family named Tonrle, who had held their lot for very many Eventually the Tourles sold their third to the earls, and later on the Earls of Abergavenny bought out the Earls of De La Warr, and the whole of the old grazing right fell into the hands of the Marquess of Abergavenny. But in the meantime a piece of land a little less than eight acress, close to Lewes, had in 1800 been bought out of Queen Anne's Bounty for the benefit of St. Thomas's Church. All the old deeds were produced, and, sure enough- th9 earls had seen that their grazing rights had been specially preserved. Even the land on which Lewes Gaol now stands on was subject to this old right, and before her Majesty could erect a prison the grazing right had to be bought out. When the desire for allotments arose in the country some 40 years ago the people of burned to be gardeners. The only piece land they could get was the rector's glebe. So hot was the ambition of the Lewes folk to grow their own potatoes that they paid the recto*" tho astonishing rent of 15s. a rod for land! So the glebe was turned into gardew, and brought in JS60 a year! The marquess- however, still demanded his grazing rights, and, as cabbage?, strawberries, potatoes, and rosco hardly suited sheep, he offered to hang up his right for a rent of zE15 a year. The then rectOr paid. The last rector, however, pleaded that he was too poor (the living is only EI40 inclU" sive of the £ 60), so the marquess forrave him- But when the present rector arrived he at once declared that as grazing land the whole plot for the entire year was not worth much nio" than JE15. and so he called the marquess" demand exorbitant, extortionate, and iniquitous," and refused to pay. The quarrel went on for six years. The Rev- F. Norris made all sorts of offers. lIe was willing- Mr. Prince admitted, to buy the marques3 » piece of freehold land in exchange for the right, or to buy the right clean out, or to pay a reasonable sum, such as £ 5 a year. But the marquess stuck to his right, and eventually in went the sheep and away went Mr Tapp's excellent crop of Brussels sproata. For Mr. Tapp ancient men were called who remembered the grazing right in their youth, and Mr. Brown, the owner of the famott8 j Houndean flock, said it was his flock that *»' turned :n by order of the marquess. "Will!" exclaimed Judge Martineau, "tastes (J;lr0", All I can say is I should not like the right to turn my sheep on to another man" crops. It's certainly not a nice right, and I should not like to exercise it. Can't you coroe to an arrangement? Mr. Norris offers JE5; yo* want JE15. Why not split the difference?" The marquess's solicitor, Mr. Drake, could accept no splits. "Humph!" said his Honour, "I've heard ot mutton going -with onions, but it's the first time I've heard of sheep and allotments going I. together (Laughter.) It must be very bad for the tenants and, I should have thought, eS. tremely unpleasant for the marquess." Eventually the case was adjourned for month, and his Honour expressed the hop* that the marquess would in the refrain from exercising his right.
