I WO UEN IN POLITICS. Every honsst friend of the Woman's I Suffrage movement, and who is disposed I to regard it as one of the points of the Progressive programme, must regard the action of those leaders who are organising disturbance and public rowdyism nnder the plea of hastening forward the day of woman's suffrage. A cause was never won by such methods as the leaders of the suffragettes are now adopting, and to read the boasts of tha leaders and to note the statements made in public meetings fs to fiud cause for putting woman's suffrage to. p, very distant date in the future, Mr Asquith has promised to see a. deputation of the wives of some of his constituents on the subjects, and thereupon the leaders of the suffragettes put forth statements in language that no responsible male political leader would use. If women fiiid plea- sure in this shouting bravado and methods of rowdyism in public life, we wonder what would happen if they had the power for which they storm and rage. The conduct of a suffragette in a place of worship in Maesteg, at the election of Mr S. T. Evans, was a miserable and a dis- creditable exhibition of temper and indis- creet language Denied of an opportunity of carrying out their policy of annoying Mr Evans by reason of his unopposed retnrn, one of MissPankhursl's suffragette lieuten- ants carries the methods of disturbance and disorder into the public meetings, and adopted methods which make discussion and the conduct of public meetings impos- sible. If this is A sample of woman in politics, neither Liberals nor Conservatives will be eager to extend the franchise to the supporters of such unrestrained and childish spite and public tantrums as the self-styled leaders of the Woman's Suffrage movement are now delighting in. —

A very salutary check has been given to rabbit-coursing on Sundays, but not on account of the cruelty of the so-called sport. It was necessary to summon the offenders under old Acts of Parliament which are all but unknown and obsolete. It is not very reassuring to the public or complimentary to the state of British law when it is found necessary to go to anti- quated statutes to check the barbarisms of rabbit coursing. The legal aspecb of rabbit-coursing was brought before the magistrates cf Brentfotd and Hounslow j this week, when the sta-tute of Sunday < Sports and Pastimes of Charles 1. and the statute of Disorderly Houses of George XV. were discussed. The point that does matter is that such diabolical cruelty as goe3 on with rabbit-coursing was defended | as sport." Sunday was the da.y chosen for the exercise of this form of sport, when live rabbits were taken on the iialds to be I torn to death. by dogs which were made furious by the excited encouragement of the spectators of the barbaroas work. The rabbits have not the shghest chance of 1 escape from either the ravenous dogs or ■ the excited, yelling spectators, and this is defended as sport! Lust for blood and tho 1 pleasure of gaming with the bookmakers j carries men far, and in the public court ] this practice was defended as a working 1 man's spocc "I It is quite time that a, more modern statute than that of Charles L can be used to put a stop to such brutal and brutalising performances, both with 1 rabbii-coursing and pigeon-shooting; and Wales is not entirely free from either, j The long-continued dry season of the present year has served again to call attention to the unsatisfactory state of the water supplies of very large and populous « areas in Glamorgan and Monmouthshire. Birmingham was recently boasting that } whilst many Welsh districts had Buffered all the inconvenience and loss of a water 1 famine, Birmingham was receiving excel- ] lent and ample supplies for all purposes I from Wales. And at that very time many j districts in Sooth Wales were drinking bad ] water, and one district in particular suffer- ing from an epidemic of typhoid caused by the condition of the water, which was; proved on analysis to be little better than dilute sewage. It has at last been seen, that new districts can never meet the demands for an abundant water bapply,- and something like concerted action by the whole county is necessary if ever the evil is to be remedied. We note with satisfac- tion the conference of local authorities which was held at Neath this week to consider what steps were necessary to b& taken for the preservation of & proper water supply for the county, and the pro- posed Water Board appears to be the only possible solution of the difficulty. One speaker remarke d that the county was twenty years behind the times in dealing I with the matter, the truth of which Ï3 now apparent, and should help materially to- wards the adoption or discovery of a practical seheme or schemes which will be backed by the whole county authorities with -sometbiag like unanimity and en. ihusia-sink Whenever a aeriom dispute arises in England and Wales and the Trade Union- istu are pressing for improved conditions I of work or pay, even to the extremes of a strike or a stoppage of work, it is a favour- ite cry of their opponents that Trade Unions ara ruining the tnuiacf the conn- try and making it impossible for BriLiah trade and commerce to thrive against the competition of Germany and other coun- tries where the workman is supposed to J bo decile and to wrirk for longer hoars and less pay with satisfaction. Ail this is true but the material part, and that is I that the foreign workman is no stranger to I strikes and diapates which upset the even tenor of the ways of the employer and the trader on the Continent. But if j there are any who believe this charge ¡ against the British Trade Unionist, let them note the new situation in Ger- m an coalfield, where a demand is made.,up to the point of a, strike, for an increase of J wages. The moral of it all isthat tnework- }' -aT,, where he is not a slave or a serf, and entirely without organisation, will strika against bad conditions, of work and pay in I, Britain or on the Continent, and the Eng- lish and Welsh employer of labour is not in a less favoured position than his foreign competitor. j

I Royal Opera at Covent Garden. —*•- The autumn opera season at Covent Garden is now a recognised institution, and judging from the performances so far it 13 likely to be quite a.d successful this autumn as it was last year and the year before. Once more Italian opera is to till the programme, and the com- pany ia mainly recruited from the forces of the riau Carlo Theatre at Naples, which have already won such golden opinions from the opera public. The season opened with Mgcletto," in which Mme- Melba, refreshed j by her summer holiday, was in particularly good voice, while Signer Sammarco was duly impresriive^as the jester. Monday's periorm- ance of Carmen was rendered particularly interesting by the appearance of another t favourite operatic artist, Madams Suzanne Adams, in the part, of Michaela. Italy's finest talent. has been ransacked to provide new singers, and certainly the new voices promise a great treat to opera goers. The repertoire includes the old favourites and two new ones, Fedora," by Giordano, which is based on Sardou's play, and Lorlei," by Catsdini, which is founded on the old legend of the Rhine maidens. The original Covent Garden The- atre, built in 1732, was destroyed by fire in 1808, when twenty persons perished. It was at once rebuilt by It Siauke, but succumbed to the flames in 1856, when it wa3 succeeded by the present theatre, which was designed by 15. M.

H THIS PERSECUTING SWANSEA CHURCH SCHOOLS. Mr Cadwalladwr's Charge Denied. At a special meeting of the Swansea Cor- poration on Wednesday, Alderman Tutfcon presiding, it was agreed to make a general dis- trict rate of 2s 2d in the E for the half-year. There was a further proposition that a borough I rate be made to raise the sum of .£17.954 3s 7d for the purposes of the Education Act for the I half-year to end 31st May next. In answer to Mr Cadwalladwr, the Clerk to the Education Authority (Mr Halden) said the amount was tho same as was asked for last year. The sum did not include anything for year. The sum did not include anything for the maintenance of the Voluntary schools from the rates. Mr Cadwalladwr then moved an addition of £ 500 foe the Voluntary schools, saying he thought the time had come when '• this perse- cation should cease. If they wanted to do cation should cease. If they wanted to do anything at all it, the way of the West Riding decision he thought the proper way should be to put the teachers of the Voluntary schools on the scale of the authority, and then do aa they wets doing in some other parts of the 'I country—reduce the salaries by the amount of time given by the teachers in imparting reli- gious knowledge. That would be a legitimate I¡ and fair way of doing the thing. Dr. O'Sulli- van seconded. Mr Moy Evans asked where would be the-use of such a process if they brought the salaries up, and then immediately made a reduction ? The Chairman said the proposal was that they should add E500 for a practically unknown purpose. He should like to suggest that Mr Cadwaltadwr should not refer to persecu- tion. They were not persecuting anyone, aind he disclaimed any such intention. he disclaimed any such intention. Mr Solomon thought they FhouJd have an e-Ttima^e before them as to what was necessary to carry on the non -provided schools on the same basis as the provided schools. Mr Cac-walladwr said his proposal meant ¡ £1,000 a year should be voted, and that would come very near wbat was required to raise the of the salaries of teachers of the Volun- tary schools to that of the provided scnools. At the present moment they had four teachers clearing out" of one Voluntary school because of the low salaries, and the school would become inefficient if they went on in tfcis way. The Chairman: You have now an admission Erom Mr Cadwalladwr that it is not right to pay any teachers for denominational religious beaching. Mr Cadwalladwrr That is not what I said. [Laughter.) The Chairman That is how you pub it. but [ think we may now vote. It may be useful to as far argument another time. Mr Cadwalladwr I disclaim it. The amendment was lost, only three voting or it. and the necessary authority for raising ;he sum required was carried.

A VETERAN NOVELIST. Miss Braddon, author of nearly seventy successful novels, who entered upon her seventieth year the other day, is known in private life as Mrs John Maxwell. Ever since L860, when Miss Braddon produced her first lovel, The Trail of the Serpent," she has )een publishing books at the rate of one or two L year. Many of these books have gone through nore than a hundred editions, and, with the late Mrs Henry Wood, Miss Braddon can claim she distinction of being the most widely-read ady novelist of the age. Miss Braddon spends aer time between hsr two homes, one in a charming part of the New Forest, and the other I an historical oid mansion in Sheen-road, Rich- mond. Lichfield House, as it is called. was originally built by the jBarlof Abergavenny, and was later tho residence of the Bishop of Lichfield. It stands surrounded by beautiful gardens that aro their owner's pride, for Miss Braddon spends a great deal of her leisure time in gardening. Two of her sons have fallowed in h«r footsteps. Her elder son, Mr W. B. Maxwell's book, "Vivian, caused a great stir a ifr- months stgo, and he has scored great stir a ifr- months ago, and he has seared another success quite recently with The Guarded Flarae. Another son, Mr Gerald Maxwell, has just published his first book, A Miracle Worker,"

I.I.IW < MR HAVELOCK WILSON'S AFFAIRS. Support and Sympathy at Swansea. Mr Havelock Wilson, M.P., on Wednes- day evening was present at a well attended meeting at the Central Hall, Swansea, held with the object of securing support for the fund established to prevent the enforcing of bankruptcy proceedings against him. Mr John Williams, M.P., presided, and said it was his intention to stand by Mr Wilson. The Mayor of Swansea Wrote expressing sympathy with the object of the meeting. Mr Havelock Wilson, who bad a cordial re- ception, said a special law had been passed in all countries for the protection of aea.men. In this country there were 230,000, and of these only ahout 5 per cent. had votes, and only about 2 per cent. of these would exercise the franchise. That practicaliy made seamen out- landers, and it was to the credit of Middles- brough that the people there had sent him to Parliament. He might represent a union of 10,000 seamen, but different to other Labour men he might be unable for reasons known to get a few scores of these men together in the one meeting. That day he had addressed some 500 men at Cardiff, and about 200 of these were foreigners, and a hundred of them at least could not understand a single word he said. The diffi- eulty of organising such men was evident. Shipowners were much opposed to combina- tion. In the House of Commons they had objected to legislation which applied to their trade. They strongly opposed it. A great man had been subjected to prosecution by th --m-Mr Samue' (Loud cheers.) He Liiew, for he had i.cm his 1 ieutenant fot nine years, when there were being ■ lost 3,5JO men every year, Mr Plimsoll brought in legislation which got rid of coffin ships. How did they receive that ? Was it not with howls of indignation ? At one time Mr Plimsoll had no less than 16 writs and another 16 threatening. When he went to Liverpool to attend the Assize his counsel suggested he snouid apologise, and he was told if he lost his case it would cost him £ 10,000. Plimsoll decided to go on, but had he lost it would have meant £ 100,000 and in all probability he would have been ruined. To day the annual loss of life to seamen had been brought down to 1.400. (Loud cheers.) Mr Wilson went on to argue that the record of work done by the Seamen's Union and the difficult position of seamen to protect them- selves fuiiy justified their appeal to fellow Trade Unionists and the public generally. A resolution was carried protesting against the tyranny of tho Shipowners' Federation, and pledging support to the fund for wiping out Mr Wilson's liabilities.

WORLD'S RICHEST HEIRESS. Fraulein Bertha Krupp. the daughter of the head of the famous-Krupp Steel Works, is said to be the richest woman in the world. The claim is difficult to prove or disprove, but the young lady will soon increase her wealth by the sum of two million pounds which will form her dowry on the occasion of her forthcoming marriage with Herr Bustav von Bohlen und Halbach, which takes place on Monday next. It seems that the wedding will not be charac- terised by that Spartan simplicity which was a short time ago announced, and it is considered that the wedding-dress aloae will cost between three and four thousand pounds. The cere- mony will take place in the pretty little chapel I now added to the Krupp villa Hugel, near Essen. The Kaiser, who is to be present, and who will arrive on Sunday, willi occupy a magnificent suite in the Villa, and will remain until Tuesday, and be will leave for Bonn to dedicate a new monument to the Kaiser Wil- liam the Grrat. Herr von Bohicn-Halbach, who after his marriage to Fraulein Bertha will become the official head ;of the £ 20,000.000 Krupp fortune, has been passing busy days at Essen, familiarising himself with the de. tails of the great gan and armour plant.

SERIOUS CHARGES AT CARDIFF j SERGT. BINGHAM REPRIMANDED. One Accusation Fails. At the Card ill Watch Committee on Wednes- day the Lord Mayor presiding. Chief Constable McKenzie, in hi* report, stated :— Sergeant David Bingham was reported for being in the Alexandra Hotel when on duty in plain clothes at 10.34 p.m. on Friday, October 5th. 1906, He was also reported by Mr Ciatwortby for incivdity and inattention to duty in Charles-street on Saturday, 22nd September, 1906. The Lord Mayor We will deal with the first charge first. Sergeant Bingham was then called in, and the charge again read over. Mr D. W. Evans, solicitor, who accompanied him, said he had been instructed on behalf of Bingham, and lie asked leave to appear on his behal f. The "Lord Mayor < It is unusual for anyone to appear in such cases. Mr Brown (deputy town clerk), on being appealed to, said there was no objection at all. Councillor Walter Thomas I think it is a point we should discuss before ft is decided. We are establishing a very serious precedent. Mr D. W. Evans, Inspector Burke, ani Sergt. Bingham then retired, and in their ab- sence the committee discussed the advisability of allowing Mr Evans to appear before them. Councillor Stone moved that they proceed in the usual way, and not allow Mr Evans to appear. Alderman Mi) don seconded. Councillor J. T. Richards moved, as an amendment, that Mr Evans be allowed to appear. Councillor Mander seconded, and the amendment was carried by 8 votes to 4. Mr D. W. Evans, Inspector Burke, and Sergt. Bingham were then called into theroom. Inspector Burke said that on Thursday last he was instructed to watch the Alexandra Hotel. He went thereon Thursday last in plain clothes, in company with P.C. Pugsley. He again went there on Friday in company with the same constable at 10.25. He watched the hotel, and at 10.34 he saw Sergt. Bingham, who was in plain clothes, leave the side door of the Alexandra Hotel in Station-terrace. Be (Bing- ham) walked round the corner into Queen. street, up Queen-street, and he (Inspector Burke) crossed the road into Dumfries-place. In about six minutes' time Bingham returned with a gentleman, and they stood talking on the corner of Station-terrace and Queen-street i for about one minute. The gentleman then left, I and Sergt. Bingham went down Station- terrace. n The Lord Mayor Is that the charge ? Inspector Burke Yes, my Lord. Mr D. W. Evans Perhaps you will allow me to cross-examine Inspector Burke ? (To the in- spector) Where were you standing ?—By the Taff Vale Railway Offices. What time did you get there ?—At 10.25. And at what time did you say you saw Bing. ham come out ?— At 10.34. If your statement is correct/Bingham was in the hotel from 10.25 to 10.34 ?—-Yes, sir. Was he alone ?—No, sir. Did anyone come out with him?—-Yes, the Chief Constable's son. How old is he ?—About 23 or 24. A responsible young gentleman I—Oh, yes. I sir. I You say you have no shadow of doubt as to what YOIl saw ?—No, sir. I have not. Do you not think that if Bingham had been I in the hotel all that time someone would have seen him 1-1 should think so. I saw him in the ) passage of the hotel. Was be in the passage of the hotel the whole of the five minutes t—No, sir, he was coming from the bar I presume.Wit;ness could not say which bar; but he was sure he saw him walk into Queen street, and young McKenzie was with him. Young McKenzie, however, was not with him when he came back, but in front of him and Mr McKenzie then jumped on a tram- car. I Mr D. W. Evang Your charge is, I under- stand, that for nine minutes Sergeant Bingham was in the hotel.— Yes, sir. How near were you to him when he came out of the hotel ?—About 22 or 23 yards. There's no mistake ?—None whatever. You are his superior officer ?—Yes. Did you speak to him ?—I did not. Why not ?—I did not tell him then, but I told him next night that I would report him, Is it part of your instructions from the Head Constable to at once speak to a man under such circumstances ?—Yes. Why didn't you do it 1-1 thought perhaps he was there on duty, but when I examined his sheet next morning I found there was no entry that he had visited a public house. Didn't you think as an Englishman it would have been fair for you to have gone to Sergeant Bingham and say" Look here, what are you doing in this hotel 7"—I was specially watch- ing the hotel. But you were not specially watching Sergeant Bingham ?-No. You saw him coming out and your suspicions were aroused. Is it part of your instruction from tbe Head-Constable if you see anything of that kind to at once acquaint the person with it ? Why didu't you do it ?—Because I was there on special duty, and I thought, perhaps, that by speaking to Sergeant Bingham it might upset what I was doing. Are you serious ? For you to walk 22 yards to upset your special duty ?—I have given yoa. my explanation, sir. But there is no doubt at all about it that it is the instructions of the Head-Constable that you should at once acquaint any such person 3 —Yes, sir. You have never said that you saw him going in ?—i-No, I did not see him go in. Councillor Walter Thomas asked witness what was the special duty he was on but the Lord Mayor thought witness had better not answer the question. Mr D. W. Evans Was P.C. Pugsley with you ?—Yea. Are you often associated in duty together ? —Yes, we have done a good deal of duty to- gether. P.C. Pugsley's Evidences P.C. Pugsley was the next witness. He said that at 10.25 he was on special duty with In- spector Burke, watching the Alexandra Hotel. At 10.34 he saw Sergt. Bingham leaving the 1 hotel, at the first bar in Station-terrace. In spector Burke said to witnesø." Do yon,see who that ia ? That is Sergt. Bingham." He (witness) answered," Yes, sir; it is Sergt. Bingham." Sergt. Bingham then walked around the corner of the Alexandra. Hotel, and went up Queen-street. In about six or seven minotes afnerwuds he (witness) saw Sergt. J Bingham come back with a gentleman to the corner, and he afterwards went down Station- 1 terrace. Inspector Davey and Detective-Sergt. Dix were lJassing on bicycles at 1ihe time. In. spector Burke put up his hand, and Sergt. Dix stopped and came across. Inspector Burke told him that he had just seen Bingham leave the Alexandra Hotel. < The Lord Mayor Did you hear that t Witness I did. He told Inspector Davey to make a note of the tune. That waa all that 4 transpired. Cross-examined by Mr D. W. Evans, witness ] said that he and Inspector Burke had been doing duty together on several occasions. He ] was sure that he saw Bingham on this occa- sion. Mr D. W- Evans: Did anybody come out with him T—Yes, sir. j Who was it ?—The Head Constable's son, sirj Where did they go ?~Into Queen-street. In about six minutes Sergeant Bingham came back ] to the corner with another gentleman. The 1 Head Constable's son got on a car. They were not together when they got back. You saw the Head Constable's son ?—Yes^ir. 1 Will you say that Bingham and Mr McKenzie did not come from Station-terrace I-They did 1 not then, sir. 1 Not at any time t—I could not say pre- viously sir. i Not at any time you were there ?—No. Alderman David Jones asked Burke why he bad not told the committee of the conversa- 1 tion with Inspector Davey ? Inspector Burke replied that Inspector Davey was not called before the Head Constable i the previous day's inquiry. So he 1 (witness) did not mention it now. He did not ttunk it necessary, for it was simply a. eon- j versation between Sergeant Dix and himself and to tell Inspector Davey to note the time. j The Lord Mayor: Why should you ask Inspector Davey to take a note ? Insnector Furke Because he saw Bingham. and the Head .constable's son in Queen-street. The Lord Mayor You did not ask the in- spector to take a note for you 2-oh. no. Repyling to Mr D. W. Evans, Inspector Burke said that Queen-street was in the circle of duty assigned to Sergeant Bingham. Mr D. W. Evajas I understand an inquiry was held yesterday bef are the Chief Constable. I don't know whether I may ask now, in Ser- geant Bingham's interest, that the chief con- stable should re^L-rt the result of that inquiry. The "Lord Mayor said this would be most un- usual, and such a Question would not be per- missible, Sergt. Bmghanr's Version. Sergt. David Bingham was then called, and, examined by Mr D. W. Evans, saidhe was in Queen-street on Friday night last- When at the top end of it did somebody come to speak to you J—Yes, the Chief Constable's son. Did you show him some papers ?—Yes, sir the paper that is before you now. Did you ask him to read it J—Yes. Did you go together to read it ?—Yes be- hind Cory's Hall, under a lamp- After reading it, what did you do 1--11mme back with young McKenzie round the Cory Hall corner, and along Station-terrace, .around the Alexandra. Hotel, and aiong Queen-street— Yes. Where did you say Good-night to Mr McKenzie t—Half-way between tho Alexandra Hotel and Windsor-place. Were you in the hotel with Mr McKenzie that night ?—No. Were you there at all that night I—No. I was not even sufficiently near the- door to..j enable anyone to think I had been in. We have heard that Burke did not speak to you that night. An inquiry was held yesterday before the Chief Constable Y- Yes. And you had there all your-witnesses 1-Y.es., Were you under the impression that this in- quiry was not to begin before 3 o'clock ?—Yes. And although you have most of your wit- nesses here, they are not all here 3—No, sir; some of those that- gave evidence yesterday aeenofcheroi And they are two sons of Inspector Ben Davies 1- Yes, and a commercial traveller. The Lord Mayor said that if Sergeant Bing- ham was not able to get all his witnesses that day, the committee would only be too glad to adjourn the case. Mr D. W. Evans said that the Sergeant did not want this charge to remain hanging over his head, and perhaps, after hearing the wit- nesses that were present, the committee might not think it necessary to adjourn. Hotel Proprietor, Mr T. D. John, of the Alexandra Hotel, was then called. Examined b, Mr D. W. Evans, Mr John said that he was in the hotel last Friday night between 9.15 and 10.45 in the smoke-room, and did not see Sergeant Bingham there at all. Replying to Inspector Burke, witness said that it would be possible for Sergeant Bingham to be in without his Beeing him Inspector Burke; Do you remember my having a conversation with you and one of your barmaids on Monda.y morning 1-Witne.s3 I do. After we finished the conversation the girl went out ?—Yes. Do you remember what you said to me ?— Not exactly. Inspector Burke: I put it to you that you said I will bet you a shilling these girls have been got at 1"-1 tell you now what 1 said in the presence of the Chief Constable yesterday that that is a deliberate lie, I did not say that. Mr D. W. Evans There is a smoke-room bar and two hotel bars ?—Yes. The Chiefs Son. Mr E. J. Mckenzie was next called. Mr D. W. Evans Were you in Queen-street on Friday last 1—Yes, about 10.30. Did you see Bingham 1—Yes- Did you speak to him 1—Yes. He said he had something he should like to show me. Did he show you some papers T—Yes. Is this the document (handing Mr Mackenzie a foolscap paper) ?—Yea. Did he suggest that you should read it r- Yes. Did you read it ?—Yes. Where did you go to read it ?—We went the other side of the Y.M.C.A. and turned down Edward-terrace. I read the paper under a lamp. Did you go into the Alexandra Hotel with Bingham that night ?—No. Questioned by Inspector Burke Where did you go to after you came along Station-terrace? —I turned round the corner of Queen-street towards town. How far did you then go with Sergeant Bingham —About five yards into Queen.street and then I left him. Were you in the Alexandra Hotel that night? —No. Have you ever been in the Alexandra. with Bingham ? Mr D. W. Evans I protest against that. The Lord Mayor We must deal with this partieular charge only. Inspector Burke (to Mr McKenzie. jun.): You say you were not there that night with Bingham ?—I was not there with Bingham, or by myself. Councillor J. T. Richards asked the nature of the document which Mr McKenzie was shown by Sergeant Bingham. The Lord Mayor thought that unfair, and was it material to the issue ? Councillor Richards pointed out that the document had been put in. If it did not affect the case, then why was that done ? He asked this in the interests of Bingham himself. Mr D. W. Evans said the document had refer- ence to complaints made concerning Sergeant Bmgham and Mr Clatworthy, and contained statements made on oath. Barmaids' Statements Miss Jones, barmaid at the Alexandra, said she was in the hotel between 10 and 11 o'clock on Friday night, and she did not see Bingham, Inspector Burke You remember seeing me on Monday t—Yes. I asked you whether there was a tall gentle- man in your bar ?—Yes. I also asked you if you knew Mr McKenzie's son ?—Yes. And you say you did not eee them that night t-l did not. Miss Davies, barmaid with the last witness at the Alexandra, gave similar evidence, and in reply'to Inspector Buike said it would be possible for Sergeant Bingham to enter and leave the hotel without her seeing him. Miss White, barmaid at the buffet of the Alexandra Hotehalsodenied that Bingham was in the hotel on Friday night. By Inspector Burke I saw Sergt. Bingham yesterday. He asked me if I would come: down and say whether he was in the buffet bar on Friday, and I aaid certainly. I know Bingham, and should have known whether he had been there. Did he tell you what time I—No. He did not mention any time. Chief Constable Questioned. Mr D. W. Evans I now propose, with your j sanction, to ask the Head Constable a question. Several members, No, no. Mr Evans You held an inquiry yesterday 1 into this ? The Head Constable Ye3. Did two gentlemen of the name of Davies make statements before you t—Yes. The Lord Mayor: Pardon lne a moment. Are you going to call them Mr Evans (to the Head Constable): You need not answer this unless you like, but did their statements corroborate the statements made to-day by Bingham and young Mr 1 McKenzie ? The Lord Mayor thought the question was very unfair to the Chief Constable, who was j placed in delicate position. If Mr Evans wished to call the witnesses he mentioned, the ] committee would adjourn the case. j Mr Evans (to the.Chief Constable): What is j the opinion you have formed of the result of tbe inquiry ? ti Several Members: No, no. a The Lord Mayor We cannot allow that. < Mr D. W. Evans (after a consultation with ti Sergeant Bingham) I do not propose to ask. t for an adjournment. Mr Evans. addressing the committee, said there was a direct conflict of evidence. It was j for the committee to weigh that evidence, but j he would suggest that there wu a little t vindictiveness on the part of Burke. It ti was the inspector's duty to have] at once spoken to Sergeant Bingham if he saw 1 him come out of the Alexandra Had he done that he would have nailed Bingham on the < spot-if Bingham was guilty. There was no f doubt that the inspector and the policeman < bad made a very grievous error. Discussion in Committee. The parties having retired, Councillor Walter g Thomas wished to know whether the special I duty that the inspector was on prevented his } speaking to Sergeant Bingham. I The Chief Constable; Oh, no, not in any I way. i Councillor Thomas: And it was his plain, duty to have done so. y The Chief Constable: Oh. yes, certainly. 1 He ought to have stopped him and challenged him there and then. and asked him what hia '1 iuty was and what he was doing there. Councillor J. T. Richards said that the three c Ladies who had been called were in the service t sf the licensee of the house and if they had c served an officer on duty the licensee would be liable. The Chief Constable agreed. He added that be ought to say that Bingham waa in plain c ilofchea. --t y Mr Richards said that two of the witnesses 1 a ad stated that they knew Bingham and would c lave seen him in the house if he had been Councillor Kidd s. If the officer had been in c plain clothes there would have been no objec- v tion to serving as far as the licenses was con. t serned. Alderman David Jones said they must all admit that the evidence was very contradictory md somebody had made a mistake. He thought (J under the circumstances the best thing to do E was to say the case was not proved. £ Mr Kidd That is the Scotch verdict ? 1 Aid. Jones: Yes, under the circumstances, 7 is the evidence is so very contradictory. 1 Councillor Richards moved that they defer c their verdict until they had heard the other sase. Mr Kidd That would be unfair to the man. c The Lord Mayor seconded Alderman Jones's notion. Alderman Mildon s Are we to understand Erom Alderman Jones that the evidence is so lontradictory on the part of the inspector and. bhe constable ? Alderman Jones No but the evidence on each side is so directly contradictory that we 1 cannot well form a proper verdict. E Mr Mildon It generally is so. ( Alderman Jones said it was specially so in c this case. If he were to express his own opinion f be thought the evidence was against the t charge. 1 Mr Richards se.1d that with the exception of s young Mr McKenzie, who was an impartial t witness, all the evidence on the other side came t from interested parties. because if Bingham had 1: been served, there would have been an offence t bv the licensee. v Mr Kidd It would not be an offence to serve a man in private clothes. Mr Richards I say if an officer on duty is served. If a lieense0-sel"'Ves an oftlcer on duty. he is liable. The Chief-Constable Yes. Mr Walter Thomas moved as an amendment that having heard the evidence the committee < decide to take no action. It The Lord. Mayor did not think this would be 1 in order. c Mr Thomas Will the oiöherresolution lead 1 the way to any lagtl proceedings by Bingham ] against Burke ? t The Lord Mayors OIl. no. I Councillor Courtis Is it a fair question to- ask whether either of the officers who have £ given evidence have any motive I The Lord Mayors I think that would be a 1 dangerous thing. i Mr Courtis Can it be suggested tba.t there 1 Is any vindictiveaesa or malice on their paart ? I It is fair to ask that, seeing that Mr Evans i made a statement that there was a little vin- 1 dictiveness. I think we, as a committee, ought < to know what is the vindictiveness and how it 1 arose. The Lord Mayor: How are you going- to get I evidence to lead us to that conclusion ? ] Councillor Kidd thought there should be no I half measures about this case. They should ti either say whether the officer was guilty or not < guilty. He moved that the charges be dis- T missed. i Alderman D. Jones seconded, commenting J upon the inspector not having spoken to Bing- i ham at the time. s Councillor Courtis said that the fact of the s inspector not having done what he ought to i have dcme,did not disprove tho offence.
