-------_::.....-_-! SATURDAY,…
SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 1901. THE LAW'S DELAYS. JOSTICE moves with leaden feet, and the days of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce are not quite a fiatioo of the past. The Courts have resumed their sittings after the Easter Recess, and there is before the Judges a distressing congestion of business. Com- pared with this period last year there are now 419 more cases awaiting trial, 373 of these being in the Court of Appeal. In the King's Bench Division the increase over 1900 is 196. The Chancery Division is not so congested, but in the other depart- ments there is an accumulation of cases which constitutes a grave state of affairs, and, suggests the necessity of extra sittings to wipe off the arrears. For years past there has been a steady increase of cases in the Court of Appeal, and we seem to be drifting tothe old days of heart. breaking delays. Practically the arrears of appeal cases may never be cleared off, and the Judges sit down not to a gradually decreasing load of work, but to one which grows bigger with the advance of years-a truly appalling task. But his Majesty's Judges do not take the responsi- bilities for the law's delays, and as no one apparently cares, the seekers for their legal rights and for the redress of wrongs have to wait with the weariness of wait- ing, coupled with the responsibility and the worry of uncertainty. It is pointed out that in 1897 there were 85 appeals left over, in 1898 167, 264 the following year, then 298, and now 373. We shall have a return to the days when it will be possible for one generation to ask for justice and the fourth to receive it, or for a young man to make an appeal and learn the result of his action when he has entered on the last days of senile decay. We are sailing on for a legal scandal of a serious character, and it has already been asked why the Judges of the Higher Courts cannot sit six days a week as other Courts do. Then there would be a chance of some of the arrears being worked off,
---------PREVENTION OF COLLIERY…
PREVENTION OF COLLIERY ACCIDENTS. IN view of the unfortunate dispute at Cly- dach Vale, which is apparently as far off settlement as ever, an important report has been iasaed by the Home Office on the system of timbering, followed by French colliery engineers at the Courrieres Col- lieries in the Pas-de-Calais Department. Ifc had been notieed that in this colliery district very few accidents were reported from falls of roof and other causes. The j IFOME OFIUS TUEXEIITRQ DESOAAOTATSL tQJ;11: c erienced inspectors to the colliery for the i purpose of conducting an investigation into the special methods of using timber for supporting the roof. The report has I just been issued, and with a view of directing general attention to the results, copies have been sent to all the colliery owners in the country. It is, of course, of special interest just at this period in South Wales, but a £ > all times the safety of collieries from falls has been a matter of serious concern, and the Government inspectors have frequently directed atten- tion to it. We need not enter into details of I the numerous accidents of a fatal character which are constantly occurring in the South Wales Coal Field, or describe the harrowing processions that are seen in the colliery villages and towns when the injured are carried home on the colliery ambulance. These represent one-half the terrors of coal mining, and the fear is ever present. Mabon, M.P., has, during the past week, contributed a series of articles to the South Wales Daily News on the report of the inspectors, in which he has described in detail the system of timbering adopted in the Courrieres mines. As these are of a peculiarly technical character we do not reproduce them, for those interested in the subject will no doubt have already secured copies of the articles and preserved them for future reference. No doubt also copies of the Home Office Report will be placed on all the tables of the Reading-rooms and Insti- tutes throughout South Wales. Generally it may be said that the system adopted in France is to follow a systematic method ot placing timber as soon as there is room for it, and the use of temporary iron bars to support the roof in advance of the last setting of timber before there is room to place the next. The system may be carried out with timber in place of the temporary iroa bars. The opinions of the inspectors are emphatic. It is declared that the Courrieres system, if rigidly practised, would result in the prevention of a large proportion of accidents from falla which might otherwise occur. The worse the roof, and the greater liability to falls, the more valuable the system would prove, and it would further prevent many of the accidents which occur where there is no appearance of danger," The question of cost is not forgotten, though where human life and preventible accidents are under discussion this should play rather a small part. The extra est incurred by adopting this French system of timbering is saved in part by the reduced charges under in- surance and by the cost saved from repair- ing after falls where no lives are lost or injuries incurred. If this can be established there is no reason why more systematic methods of timbering in colliaries in this country should not be insisted upon by the Home Office without serious delay. The Report which the Home Office has circu. lated amongst the coalowners is an im' portant document, because it tends to prove the claims of the men that the timbering is not sufficient to meet preven- tible accidents. The inspectors consider that the freedom of the French colliery from accidents is not due to the character of the roof, but chiefly results from the extreme care in supporting it with timber. They also agree with the opinion of the French engineers that systematic timber. ing should be enforced and the distance of the timbers fixed by regulation. They are also of opinion that more timbers are I fixed at Courrieres than is the case in collieries at home, where more accidents I from falls occur.
>-.-----NEWPORT COUNTY COURT.
> NEWPORT COUNTY COURT. Judge Owen anel the Election. His Honour JUDGE Owen, who sat at Newport County Court on Thursday, had but a short list of cases to go through. At the outset, for various reasons, the parties or their solicitors did not respond when the list was called the first time. His Honour remarked that even at election times the parties and their solicitors ought to be in attendance at 10.30. Ultimately the plaintiff in the last case on the list re- sponded, and his Honour dealt with the case in the absence of both solicitors and defendaut, and gave judgment for the plaintiff. The other parties arrived subsequently, only to find that the case had been dea.lt with. The list was then gone through again, and several cases were struck out. In the case of Maybury and Co. v. Evans the parties appeared. The action wea one to recover £19 18S 6d, the balance of an account for goods I and materials supplied. Defendant Evans, who resides at Blaina, asked the plaintiffs, who are builders' merchants at Newport, to tender for the supply of joinery work and materials to be used in the erection or a shop at Blaina. The tenders for joinery work at £20 5s, and ;£14 12s 10a for the timber, were accepted, and extras were subsequently ordered, for which Jj;, 5s Sd was chargea. Other materials were also ordered, and over JE40 waa paid Oil acconnt, but defendant disputed the balance on account, as he thought that the joinery work and the timber were in- cluded in the tender for £20 5s. The tenders, which were produced, were on separate sheets of paper, and a letter was produced from the builder, who it was admitted acted on behalf of the defendant and accepted the tender. The latter, however, stated that he was under the im- pression at the time that the £20 53 covered both the joinery and the timber. Judgment was given for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed with costs.
- .SCENE AT LLWYNCELYN HOTEL
SCENE AT LLWYNCELYN HOTEL Assault Upon a Rhonehla Hotel Manager. At the Porth Police Court on Thursday (be- fore Messrs T. Griffiths and D. Thomas) six young Porth man—Ivor Lane, Ed. Davies, Phil Rosser. Jas. Ashford, Tom Evans. and George EVANS—were charged with assaulting Joseph Allen Medlicot, the newly appointed MANAGER of the Llwynceiyn Hotel," Porch. Mr James Phillips, solicitor, Pontypridd. prosecuted, and Mr D. W. Jones, solicitor, Pantre, defended. The evidence for the prosecution showed that the defendants on the 10th inst. created a scene at the hotel by kicking the trays about and using obscene language. The manager ordered them out, but they refused to go. He com- menced to eject them by starting with the man Davies, whereupon a general attack was made upon him. resulting in hia having two black eyes, a swollen cheek, aud a .dislocated finger. Before the police had arrived the defendants left and went to the Imperial Hotel, where they were found by P.S. Brinson. Entering the room he heard Lane remark in a boastful way, Oh you should have seen Ned planting them," pointing to his fist, It was urged for the defence that the landlord pushed Lane up against the door,causing his nose to bleed, because he had in- quired the reason why Davies WAS being ejected. This caused a general row, and it was impossible to tell who took part in the assault upon the landlord. Two witnesses, David Webb and John Evana, swore to seeing the manager push Lane against the door. Magistrate T. Griffiths strongly condemned the action of the defendants, and remarked that it was a very bad cas& indeed. Ed. Davies was fined .£3 and coats, and the other defendants £2 and costs. All the fines were promptly paid.

IChancellor's Statement.
I Chancellor's Statement. DEFICIT 55 MILLIONS. 2d on the Income-tax. DUTY ON SUGAR. A Shilling per Ton on Coal. 2s PER CWT. ON MOLASSES. NEW TAXATION YIELDS 11" MilliONS. SINKING FUND TO BE SUSPENDED. 60 MILLIONS TO BE BORROWED The Chancellor of the Exchequer rose at a quarter past 4 o'clock amidst cheers. He said that he was afraid that this time his statement would not be quite so satisfactory as it had been on previous Occasions. He did not say that there had been any step backward, but the last six months of 1900 showed symptoms of decay. The revenue of the year, however, showed no signs of falling for his estimate had been exceeded by £2,585,000. Generally he would venture to say that he thought the con- suming power of the people was inaintaiued, but there waa no material evidence of an expansion of that power beyond what might be attributed to the increase of population. Pointing out that there had been a decrease in his estimated Revenue from Beer Duty, he said it might be partly due to the absence of many beer drinkers in South Africa, to the eloquence of Mr Chaplin on the question of pure beer, or it might be due to the spending power of the people being decreased owing to the high price of coal. The brewers had com- pensated themselves for the extra duty not by raising the price, but by what wa3 euphemistic- ally called lowering the gravity.— (laughter) —and he (Sir Michael) had been an unwilling promoter of temperance by causing a consump- tion of the weaker article. He thought they had now reached the limit of possible taxation on beer and spirits. (Cheers.) Ha mourned the falling-off in the death duties—(laughter)—to the extent of £20,000 less than his estimate, but congratulated the country on an excess of JEL,120,000 for pro- perty and income tax, which showed that the position of the people as a whole was satisfac tory. The total Exchequer receipts were .E130,385,000. and the expenditure, including war charges, £183.592,000, leaving a deficit of £53,207,000. The National Debt showed an increase of £59,000,000. The esti- mated expenditure for the coming year was £187,000,000, and the estimated revenue on the present basis of taxation would leave a deficit of .£65,847,000. It might be said that that was a war deficit, inasmuch as tha ordinary revenue exceeded the ordinary expenditure by £2,833,000. Even if it were a war deficit, he would have had to ask for additional taxation, for he would never be a party to the fatal policy of paying the whole cos- of war out of loan—(cheers)—without charging a reasonable amount to the taxpayers of the rmy. He was afraid it was not only a war deficit, but that the real difficulty was not so much the cost of the war in South Africa, and China as it was the increase on ordinary expenditure he pointed to the growing cost of the Services, and said that, looking at the way the increase was going on, supposing the war came to an end in three or four months time, as it possibly might— (cheers)—our ordinary expenditure would not permit us to remit the 'additional taxation imposed for war purposes last year. He wished to place the position of things before them frankly and fearlessly—(cheers)—and it was time an endeavour was made to put our financial system on a broader basis. (Cheers.) He thought the expenditure was necessary, or he would not be standing in that place to-day. They must have a Strong Navy and Army. Reforms would cost money. Indeed, the strongest criticism of Mr Brodrick's proposals was that they did not include an addition to the pay of the Regular Army. Further expenditure was asked for land purchase in I Ireland, for assistance to India, for the housing of the working classes, for improving the Post Office in London, and for the great work of edu- cation. Though they were divided as to the form in which the money should be spent, they were in favour of spending it in some way or other in fact, there;.was no party in the House that was in favour of economy in itself. (Oh, oh.) It was therefore necessary to widen the basis of II taxation, and he must ask both direct and in- direct taxpayers to take their share of the burden. I' fIe proposed to Raise the Income-Tax to Is 2d in the £ He could not see his way to I increase the taxation on spirits or beer, though he might have something to say later on about the brewer—("laughter)—nor did he propose to increase the duties on tea or tobacco. After dis- cussing suggested articles for taxation, such as cats, bicycles, etc., he said that he wanted a tax that would be largely productive, which must be levied on some article of universal consumption, and therefore he was bold enough to propose A Duty on Sugar. Sugar was an article which was taxed in every country in Europe and the United States, and all economists were agreed that it was an article which might be fittingly taxed in financial neces- sity. (Hear, hear.) Mr Gladstone in 1360 said that it was a mistake to suppose that the sugar duty could not be reimposed providing there could be shown an adequate public necessity. That necessityU he urged, now existed. The true interests of peace and economy would be served by The Working Classes as well as other classes, knowing that they bore the reimposition of the burden of the cost of war. As to the effect of the duty he pointed out that the question was governed laefgely by the bounty system. On re- fined sugar he proposed the duty of 4s 2d per cwt., and on raw sugar a graduated tax diminish- ing from that 4s 2d by a halfpenny per pound would be 4s 8d per cwt., so that the dealer if he raised the price by a half- penny would have a margin of sixpence. He did not propose to exclude West Indian I sugar from the duty. Refined sugar polarising at 98 degrees would bear the full tax of 48 2d, and the duty would gradually diminish from that standard of polarisation until it reached a minimum of 2s per cwt. on raw sugar polarising at not more than 76 degrees, which would be little more than half its weight pure sugar. They would not favoair beet sugar as against cane sugar, but must give fair play to the British re- finer as compared with his Continental rivals. On molasses he proposed a tax of 2s per cwt., and on glucose Is 8d per cwt., the latter article being used principally for 5 the manufacture of jam, aerated waters, and beer. The yield o£:ta.x he estimated would be £5,100,000 after allowing jE240,000 for drawback on export and £4O,OOQ for expenses of collecting. Another novel proposal for taxation which he should submit was one which had not been in use in this country for 45 years, and that was an export duty of A Striding a Ton on Coai (Ijoud cheers.) He agreed that while aiming at revenue they ought not to sacrifice trade, but adduced reasons why he did not think the duty would have the effect of sacrificing trade. The yield of the coal duty he expected would be £2,100,000. He theretore proposed to raise JE3,800,000 this year from the increased income' tax, JE5,100,000 from sugax, and £2,.100,000 from coal. For the first time direct taxation would oxceed the indirect taxation, being in the pro- portion of 50*3 to 49'7. He should ask the-Oom- inittee to give him Borrowing Powers to the extent of 60 millions, (Hear, hear, and cheers.) As to tho amount of ths cost of tho war that could be fairly paid by the Transvaal, that they were told could not be ascertained until two or three yeaara after the close of the war, and they must remember'that the prolongation of the war had brought that country Almost to the Verge of Ruin.

I The Victoria Memorial, I THE PROPOSED TRANSFORMATION OF THE MALL. A storm of protest has been raised against the decision of the Executive Committee en- trusted with the responsible and extremely delicate and difficult task of arranging the de- tails of the National Memorial to our late beloved Quean. As everybody knows, the Com- mittee decided to asl, Mr Thomas Brock, R.A., to prepare a, design for the group or groups of sculpture, including a statue of Queen Victoria, which will be placed opposite the entrance gates to Buckingham Palace. They also agreed to invite five distinguished architects, repre- sentative of England, Scotland, and Ireland- Sir Thomas Drew, of Dublin, President of the Royal Hibernian Academy Mr T. G. Jackson, R.A. Mr Aston Webb, A.R.A. Mr Ernest George, F.R.T.B.A., and Dr. Rowland Ander- son, R.S.A. (Scotland)—to prepare designs for the treatment of the western end of the Mall, where the group or groups are to be placed, and for a general r-ieheme, should funds allow, to include an architectural entrance at the Spring Gardens end of the Mall, with groups of sculp- ture at intervals, the whole forming a dignifjed and architecturally-designed processional road. i It is important to remember that by the time the idea now in the stage of incention reaches the point of complete realisation, the Mall, which is. even now a very fine drive, will have been, widened throughout its length, and thrown open to Charing Cross, debouching1 into Trafalgar- square in a line with the top of Northumberland Avenue. The illustration gives a broad idea of the scheme. The present open space in front of the Palace is to be enlarged by adding portions of Sc..Jamss's Park and the Green Park, which will be fenced off by decorative stone balustrades instead of the railings which now serve. Within the balustrades the roadways will boldly curve to the right and left toward the Buckingham I Palace-road and to Constitution Hill. The trend 1 of the carriage ways aud of the direct approaches to the Palace entrances will give two spaces, technically called islands," equi distant from | the site of the suggested statue immediately opposite tho principal gate3. Upon these islands would, no doubt, be erected allegorical groupings to support the design-in-chief. There are those who quarrel with the site selected for the Memorial, asserting that Buckingham Palace j was built on a bog, and that the late Queen de- tested her London residence. But this objection Mr T. Brock, R.A., Tho Sculptor selected for the Statne of Queen Victoria. I does not find very many supporters, for, in the opinion of most people, the site is the best tha.t could possibly have been chosen. The memories of Royal London, from the days of the Tudors J to our own time, are iutimately associated with the park in which Buckingham Palace stands, I and the Mall undoubtedly offers possibilities for ornate treatment which cannot be found else- where in the Metropolis.
T olal Dost of the War
was in a position to give good security for a loan, he had so arranged that it would be easy for a reasonable contribution to be made by the Transvaal out of such loan. T olal Dost of the War in South Africa and China, inciludicg this year's ¡' estimates, amounted to 153,000,000, double the cost of the Crimean war. He thought they could no longer rely on temporary borrowings, and therefore he would ask the committee for powej to borrow on consols. Concluding, Sir Michael said he had not framed his Budget with A view to obtainiug enhanced popularity, The House and the country had demanded and approved the expenditure in South Africa and China, and he could not think so ill of his countrymen when they cheered the war they did not know they would have to pay ¡ for itt and were ready to pay for it. If Parlia- ment accepted his Pndget they would have done something towards establishing the principle of the equitable contributiion of the whole com- munity to the burdens of State, which was not merely an incentive to economy and peace, but was a necessary safeguard against financial ruin, (Loud cheers.)

Great Mounted Force. (Central News Telegram.) PRETORIA, Wednesday Evening. With the fresh mounted troops that have arrived and are still arriving a. large mounted force will soon be available for'the vigorous re- vival of the campaign that is being arranged. Al- ready the effects of the reinforcements of mounted infantry are apparent in the greater security of the railway lines. Since the beginning of last week no attacks upon the railway have been re- ported. The operations of General French have cleared the triangle enclosed by the Natal and Koma-ti railways, and General Babington's harassing tactics will soon have the Gatsrand ntirely cleared of Boers. Every day one or two Boer surrenders of more or less importance are reported from the differeut British camps.

End Far Off. ENEMY'S TACTICS. (Through Laifan's Agency.) PRETORIA, Wednesday. There is now no longer any organised resist- ance by the enemy, but small mobile bands roam about the country avoiding contact with large forces, attacking weak ones, and looting where possible. Their action makes the task of the Army extremely difficult. Nevertheless, our aggressive policy is having a. great effect, as is shown by daily surrenders at all the, camps, and whilst the end of the war seems a long way off a morehopeful feeling preva.ils.

Boers Massing. THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT. (Central News Telegram.) I PRETORIA, Wednesday Evening. I The occupation of Pietersburg by General Plumer, besides depriving the enemy of a very snug retreat and a factory for the manufacture of ammunition, is another step towards finishing the war. Plumer's movement was essential as part of an aggressive policy which is now made possible by the arrival of the additional mounted men. Large numbers of non-fighting Boers have surrendered in the Pietersburg district, and a few armed burghers have been captured. The re- mainder have trekked north to a range of almost 'inaccessible mountains, beyond which is a great stretch of difficult bush country. The seat of the Boer Governinent is still at Roosenekal. where a considerable force of the enemy has concentrated. It is believed, however, that they will be easily dislodged when that ia considered necessary, I

Alleged Attempted Fraud.
Alleged Attempted Fraud. CHEQUE TRANSACTIONS. INGF.:NIOUS SCHEME. Bank Manager's Alertness. ARREST ON SUSPIOION. During the early part of themonthamaa giving the name of Mr .Joe Miller." 10, Tre- sillian-terrace, Cardiff, called at the office ot Messrs Thackeray and Company, stockbrokers, Cardiff, and said he wanted to buy a few Liptons shares. He was informed that as he WAS not known to the firm he must pay a deposit oi furnish a reference. He immediately I paid a deposit of £5. The shares were purchased. In a few days they de- I clined fractionally in value. Miller called in I agam and said he would sell. The shares wore accordingly sold. After deduction of commission and allowing tor loss in value of shares there remained a balance of a little over two pounds due to "Mr Joe Miller." Friaay, the 12th, was Stock Exchange account day, and a cheque for the amount due, together with a statement, was forwarded to the address given. That was the end OF the matter so far as Messrs Thackeray and Co. were concerned. About the same time" Miller called at Messrs Lyddon and Co.'s office, giving the S:1,me name and address. and stating that he wanted to buy a few Schweppe's Shares. As in the case uf Messrs Thackeray and Co., he was told that as this was a first transaction and he was not known to the firm he mnst either pay a deposit or fur- nish a reference. He promptly paid a deposit of £5, and the shares were purchased. As was the case with Liptons so with Schweppe's, The shares went down in value, and Miller gave the order to sell. On Friday Messrs Lyddon and Co. forwarded a cheque for the balance due. together with a statement, to the address given. There again this ended the transaction so far as Messrs Lyddon and Co. were concerncd. On or about the 2nd of April Miller" pre- sented himself ot Mr F. S. Trayos's office in Bute-street and asked to see Mr Trayes," adding that he wanted to do a little business with him. He did not, however, see Mr Trayes, but had an interview with Mr George Thomas, the manager, to whom he explained that he wanted to buy some Bovrils Ordinary, and paid down .€5 in gold as a deposit. The shares were accordingly bought. Two days after- wards—on the 4th of April—" Miller" called again and gave instructions for the shares to be sold and a wire to that effect was at once de- spatched to the firm of London agents. When account day came there was n. balance of £2 Us Id duo to "Miller," and the usual statement with a cheque for this amount was posted by Mr Trayes to "1\1r Joe Miller, 10, Tresillian-ter- race, Cardiff." The cheques of Messrs Thackeray and Co. and of Messrs Lyddon and Co. were dra.wn on the Bute Docks branch of the London and Provin- cial Bank and that of Messrs Trayes and Co. on the town branch of the same bank. The Cheques Altered. The next stage of the affair is remarkable both for the alteration of the cheques and for the prompt detection of that fact. The cheques were altered by chemical means, the main words and figures being ch.Maged. On Saturday Mr "Miller" entered the town branch of the London and Midland Bank, with an oral introduction from a respected customer of the bank. Mr Astbury seems to have taken all needful precautions, and then consented to an account being opened. Miller then presented Messrs ThacWray and Co.'s cheque ItS altered and a considerable sum in gold, and soon afterwards drew a cheque for an amount not exceeding the gold he had pa.id in, so that the big cheque was not drawn against. If any attempt had been made to do this it is pretty certain that Mr Aslbnry would have vetoed the operation until the cheque had been cleared. On Monday morning Mr Astbury caused inquiries to be made as to whether Messrs Thackeray and Co. had drawn a cheque for the large amount mentioned in favour of Mr Miller, and this was how the manipulation of the cheque was discovered. In the meantime Messrs Trayes's cheque had been paid in to the new account, and, of course, was soon found by similar inquiry to have been deaJt with in the same way as Messrs Thackeray's. So far Messrs Lyddon"S cheque had not been paid in. They heard of the other transactions, and gave cheir bankers the number of the cheque a.nd requested them to stop pay- ment if it was presented. On Monday, during the luncheon hour, a pageboy from the Black Lion Hotel presented a. cheque for £20, bear- ing the. signature of Joe Miller," at the Town branch of the London City and Mid- land Bank, this cheque being made out in favour of ISAAC Glantz. The boy was told to ask the man to come himself. He did so and mean- time the detectives were put on the trail, a.nd Detectrve-Serge&nt Baukin arrested Glantz at the Black Lion. Messrs Lyddon and Co.'s ¡ cheque as altered was found in his possession. Glantz-Isaac Glantz, to give him his full name--is a. totally different person from Joe Miller." He is apparently between 45 and 50 years of ago. He refuses to give any information about Miller. Miller is described as of short, stiff build, with a thin, brownish moustache. He wore a grey suit of a rough tweed material, and a. soft grey hat. He spoke English with a foreign accent, and gave the impression of being a Ger- man or Hungarian. He ha.s been several times seen in Cardiff, the last occasion being on Satur- day morning last, when he wa.s seen walking down Bute-street towards the Pier Head. Miller lodged at Tresillian-terra.ee for about three weeks. The people he lodged with knew absolutely nothing about him, and he left on Saturday, staying till Monday at the Black Lion, and was seen in St. Mary-street on Mon- day evening. It is feared that owing to the premature disclosure of Giants s arrest on Monday night he has got a.way.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
FURTHER PARTICULARS. From information obtained by one of oar re- presentatives it would seera that the two men's first known appearance in Cardiff was at the Tresillian Hotal, the landlord of which is Mr Fred Phiilip3, a retired policeman. They are alleged to have visited his house in the early pa.rt of April, and ;n the course of conversation made inquiries respecting local stockbrokers. They I had with them the names of two firms, and Mr Phillips—innocent, of course, of his customers' object—supplied them, at their request, with others. Having thus fortified themselves they then proceeded to carry out their plans in the manner described above. During the past fortnight Miller had been a customer at Messrs Brooks and Shepheard, tobacconists, St. Mary-street, and in the early part of lasi; week he told Mr Shepheard that he wanted to deposit a. siim of money at a local bank with a view of opening an account, and he further on- deavoured to induce that gentleman to give him a formal introduction to his own bankers. This Mr Shepheard did not do, but on Wednesday last, so as to avoid boing *urther troubled on the matter, be gave Miller his card to take to the London City and Midland Bank, which is close by, feeling assured, as he himself put it, that the manager (Mr Astbury) would come and see him and make further investigations respecting the would-be depositor. Bnt it appears that Miller did not MAKE use of the card until the Saturday, aud subsequently the manager did put himself into communication with Mr Shepheard, who at once gave Mr Astbury the extent of hia knowledge of Miller. The last Mr Shepheard saw of his customer was on Monday morning about 10 o'clock, when he entered the shop as usual to make a purchase. He was then wearing a Trilby hat and a mackintosh. With regard to Glantz, he seems to have gone to the Black Lion Hotel, St. Mary-street, late on Saturday night, and take a bed. He had no handbag or luggage—not a.n unusual circum- stance with casual visitors to an hotel-and left again early on Sunday morning. Nothing more was seen of him until Monday morning, when, in company with Miller, he returned to the hotel, and both weut into the upstairs bar. Miller iu- nuiicd for the landlady, his object being to ascertain if he could measure her for a costume. !I After a time Glantz askeØ the barmaid to get him change for a cheque of £20, and she then sent for the pageboy, to whom Glantz handed the cheque, saying that he would return in 10 I minutes for the money. Both men theu left, aud the pageboy proceeded to the London City and I Midland Bank on the opposite side of the street. The boy, in consequence of a message from the manager, went for Mr Everard Smith, the courteous landlord, who then went to the bank. The manager informed Mr Smith of the circum- stances, upon which Mr Smith asked if telephonic communication had been made with tho police. Receiving a reply in the affirmative, he returned to his hotel to mako inquiries and gave pre- cautionary instructions to the barmaid. Immediately afterwards Detective Rankin ap- peared on the scene, and then Glantz returned, but this time without his companion. The detec- tive a.t once approached him ajid asked if his name was Miller." He replied, No." Is this your cheque ?" fprodacing the document), queried Rankin, and the answer was a simple "Yes." Glantz, who showed no resistance and whose manner was perfectly calm, was then es- corted to the police station. Meanwhile the detective had learned that Miller had an appointment with a lady in St. J Mary-street at 7 o'clock, where he was to take the measurements for a costume, and wherd also he waa to meet Glantz. But unfortunately the news of Glantz's arrest leaked out, not through any fault of the police, and not unnaturally Mr Miller waa reluctantly compelled to break faith with the lady and to make good his escape from the town. MILLER AND HIS LODGINGS. Onr representative has ascertained that whilst lodging at Tresillian-terrace Miller received a large number of letters, most of which were addressed to" Joe Miller, Esq." He did not have meals at his lodgings, and was rarely at home. He left during Saturday, and ma.de men- tion of the fact of his intention to travel to New- castle. THE BANKING ACCOUNTS. AMOUNTS PAID IN. It appears from the paying-in book of MiUcr, which was found in the possession of Glantz, that on Saturday the -ormer paid in on the first occasion £ 50 in gold and £ 875 16s 8d in cheques, and on the second £ 496 18s 6d, also in cheques, T On Qlwis, alter WAS found TH [ akered cheque of Messrs E. T. Lyddon and Sons, drawn M favour of Henry Schaffer" and en- j that NAME and also Dy Miller. There likewise two other cheques made payable to Miller and signed by him, one of which was for tne large sum of £ 1,053 odd. It is stated that J the men had succeeded in withdrawing some money, probably to a small amount. Glantz, on whom wa.s found a purse containing gold and silver, had during the afternoon an in- terview with his solicitor (Mr Harold Lloyd). DEALINGS WITH A LOCAL TRADES- MAN. Last week Miller, we understand, called at the shop of Mr D. Evans, draper, Queen-street. AND purchased some, expensive jackets and other garments. Ha paid for them in notes, leaviag the change, amounting to 49s, to be sent to hia lodgings with the goods, and this was dona, tha boy who delivered the parcel taking a receipt from Miller for the change. THE CHARGE. The charge preferred against the prisoner, Isaac Glantz, is as follows :— Knowingly AND wilfully having in his possession a certain forged document, to wit, a cheque purporting to be a request for the payment of £868 15s 3d, and drawn by E. F. Lyddon on the Docks branch of the London Provincial Bank in favour of H. Sohaffer." MAGISTERIAL PROCEEDINGS. STATEMENT BY THE PRISONER. Before the Stipendiary Magistrate (Mr T. W Lewis) on Tuesday Isaac Glantz was brought up on the charge given above. Only one witness was examined, viz., Detective- Sergeant Rankin, who deposed to making the arrest on Monday at the Black Lion Hotel, St. Mary-street, Cardiff. When arrested prisoner made the following statement :— I went this morning into the hotel, and after I asked the barmaid if I could have the room which I had had before, a man who was there asked me if I would bank some money for him. and handed me a cheque with a book, and then said, I can see you are honest. Draw the jE20 on this cheque and also meet me here in the dining-room afterwards.' I then tried to cash the cheque at the bar for £20, but could not do so. Then I asked the boy to go to tha bank for me." The police applied for a remand, stating TH" they hoped to arrest the other man spoken to by the prisoner. Prisoner was remanded until Tuesday next. Glantz sought to address the Court, but was advised by the learned Stipendiary not to do so for the present. Mr Harold Lloyd has been instructed fend the prisoner.
.FRY AND EVERITT CASE.
FRY AND EVERITT CASE. ALLEGED CONSPIRAOV TO DEFRAUD. Defendants at the Mansion House. At the London Mansion House Police Court on Wednesday (before the Lord Mayort Hanry Ernest Fry (61), merchant, and Richstru Horace Everitt (32), smelter, were aepun charged on remand with being concerned to- gether in forging and uttering a warrant for 23 tons 2 cwt. ot gold ore also forging and utter- ing another warrant for 20 tons 11 cwt. of gold ore in December, 1900 and conspiring by means, of the warrants to cheat and defraud Messrs Barclay and Co., Limited, of Lombard-street, by obtaining the sum of £3,300. Mr Campbell (for Mr A. Gill) prosecuted. Mr Vanderpump appeared for Fry, and Mr F. G. Mallows for Everitt. When the case was called on Mr Vanderpump asked that the exact charges should be specified. Was it intended to proceed with the allegation of forging and uttering ?" Mr Campbell: The charges are on the warrant. I cannot say more. The Clerk said the charges stood as opened by counsel on the last occasion. It did not follow tha,J defendants would be committed on ALL or o. any. Mr George Waltham Butler, resident manager of the loan department of Barclay and Co., was recalled to speak to JE3,000 having been ad- vanced by him on the strength ot warrants. which he accepted as perfectly good security and representing the value stated. He recog- nised Everitt's handwriting. There were also certain certificates as to quantities of ore pur- ported to be signed by" John D. Frossard (wharfinger) and H. A. Penrose and Co." (Assay Office). Us made an advance on those warrants to the amount of £.3.500. He still held the w-irrants, and they had never been re- deemed. He believed at the time that they represented ore in the custody of Mr Frossard, Swansea Valley Junction Wharf.
