CARDIFF WATCH COMMITTEE. HEAD CONSTABLE'S ANNUAL REPORT. INCREASE OF SUNDAY DRUNKENNESS. The usual monthly meeting of the watch committee was held on Wednesday, the Major in the chair. were also present Alderman Duncau, deputy-chairman and Councillors Yorath, Rees, Vaughan, Carey, Morgan, and Reynolds. The Town Clei-k i-Rported tnat he had received a letter from the Home Secretary, enclosing a copy of the Prosecution and OSence.s Act, passed during the last session of Parliament, and calling attention to section 3 of that act, which enacts that the chief omcer of every puiice district in England shall from time to time give to the directors of public information with respect to indictat'!e offences alleged to have been com'.uittcd within his district, and also the dealing: with such cases, and that such information shall contain such particulars, and be in such a. form as may for the time being be required. This had been attended to. The Head Constable (Mr Hemingway) pre- sented the following report:— Gentleman,—I have the honour to lay before you my ninth annual report and statistics of crime, &c., for the year endod 29th Sept., 1884. "The total cost of the police establishment duDng the yenr was J69?22 14s lOd, as against je9.087 Os 7d foi-1335. The total streogth of the' force now 18 10l. of indictable cr.mea committed was 285, as against 219 in 1885. being an increase of 66. Fur these crimes 120 persons have apprehoude'1, showing an in- crease on the number for 1885, the number then being 94. Of the 120 persons apprehended, 25 were discharged by the magistrates, and 95 com- mitted for tria). determined SUlnïIUlrily,-3,735 persons have been proceeded against s.immariiy,as against 5,477 tor the previous increase of 253. Of the 5,755 persons proceeded ap;f-s' 1,022 wore discharged, and 2,715 convicted. Of those convicted, 1,632 were Hned.oMl.nprisoned, 2 se.nt to reformatories or industrial schools, 9 whipped, and 450 otherwise punished. "The classes of persona proceeded against were as follows 0/t iiidictment,-KnoWll thieves, 11 prostitutes, 5; suspicious characters, 58; pre- vious good characters, 49; characters unknown, 17; tota), 120._ thieves, 27; prostitutes, 555 vagrants, 23 suspicious characters, 101 habitual drunkards, 54 persuns of previous goo i character, 3,031 characters un- known, 39; totrd, 5,755. persons were proceeded against lor drunkenness, being an increase of 51, thenumberforl885being927. Ofthe958pro- ceeded against, 144 were discharged, and 814 con- victed, as against 598 discharged and 528 con- victed for drunkenness in 1835. Out of the 814 persona convicted for drunkenness, 123 were convicted for Sunday drunkenness (The num ber of persons so convicted last year was 77.) ".Ale and jBc<f Huuges,-There are 175 ale- houses and 100 beer houses in the borough, and for offences against the Licensing Acts the pro- prietors of 20 of them were proceeded against during the year. Of these, 11 were convicted and fined. Last year the number of public-houses proceeded against was 51, and 18 were convicted and fined. Of the number proceeded against this year, 4 were summoned for opening their houses on Sunday for the sale of intoxicating liquors, and 2 were convicted and naed. "Fifty persons have been proceeded against during the year for selling beer at private houses without having a licence, as against 14 in the pre- vious year, being an incrcMe of 56. Of the 50 persons proceeded against, 36 were convicted and fined. Fifty samples of food have been submitted to the public analysts, as against 143 for 1885. Four of these samples were found adulterated, and the sellers were proceeded against and convicted. 197 pedlars' certiticates have been issued during the year, as against 179 issued in 1885. During the year 513 doors and Windows have been found by the police insecure at night, notineationa of which were sent to the occupiers. 179 inquests have been held during the year, being an increase of 18 on the number for 1885. Forty-one fires have occurred during the year, as against 36 in 1885. Fourteen variations in the force have taken place as agamst 8 for 188.5. The conduct of the force has been good. The police outing took place on the 27th and 28th August, at Chepstow. The expenses incurred amounted to J657 7s. Mr Councilor Andrews and Mr Councillor Hurley supplied the brakes, for which they decline to make any charge. I regret to state that on the way out an accident occurred to one of the brakes, and the driver of which was so seriously injured that he w:ts conveyed back to the Cardiff In- firmary. The expenses connected with the acci- dent have augmented the cost. I beg to apply for an increase of 12 men to theforce." This application of the head-constable gave rise to some discussion, but it was resolved That, considering the great inccaaae in the population, it is desirable that the police force should be augmented by 12 men, subject to the approval of the Secretary of btate." This was a)I the business.

PRIZE DISTRIBUTION AT CARDIFF. COLONEL HILL ON MUSICAL CUL- TIVATION. The distribution of certificates and prizes awarded to local candidates at the musical exami- nation in connection with Trinity College, Lon- don, was made at the Town-hall on Wednesday. The mayor had promised to undertake the dis- tribution if he was not out of town, but his wor- ship not being present a quarter of an hour after tile time appointed, Co!. HiU, by request-, took the position. The seats in the council chamber were nearly a!I occupied by the successful candi- dates and their friends. Colonel HtLL <st congratulated the ladles pre- sent and the town of Cardiff 0:1 the results of the examination. Not onty had a larger number been examined, but the ccititieates attained were all of a higher order than those gained in former years. That was particularly satisfactory, because, in addition to Trinity College, the Royal Academy had established a similar exam'natioH. It was thought at one time .that dle rivalry wou!d be injurious, but it had really done good. Speaking then of the cultivation ot mnsic generally, Colonel Hill said he shonid ]ike to sec music more largely developed in ail their towns. Thereshonldbe more vocal societies, of which they possessed two at Cardiff. E\'ery town ought to have a band capable of performing high-class modern and classical music, and capable also of giving con- certs without the managers sending round the kingdom for one. There 11d, for instance, be ability enough in Cardiff to produce such a band of instrumentahsts who would be musicians in the last sense. Music as a profession had not taken the position only a short time ago that it held now. At present men of thehighut position were adopting it as a profession, and he argued from it that music had made considerable strides. There would be adt:velopment not only inqualities of composition, but in taste. He wished at point to impress the fact on the winners of those certificates that the gaining of them did not mean that they had arrived at the acme of success in their knowledge of music. A whole lifetime spent in musical studydid not exhaust the subject, and he should wish them to look upon those certificates merely as incentives to further exer- tions. Mr ScoTT quite bore out the remarks of Colonel Hi)). It was desirable there should be an instru- mental band in every town. There was one in CardiS, to which be wished wel). But be could not help thinking that before local bands obtained any success that was adequate they would need to go in for the kind of work which he was sorry to SI\Y only ladies there went in for.

Colonel MILL proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Scott for the manner in which he had laboured in the cause of music and the trouble he had more immediately taken. Mr ScoTT replied, and m turn moved a vote of thanks to Col. Hill and the Rev. J. Dawson (un- avoidably absent} for the active interest they had displayed in musical culture. Colonel Hill had always been a supporter of the work ever since its commencement in the town. Colonel HiLL acknowledged the compliment and the meeting concluded.

MONMOUTiTpoWING CLUB The three una! heatToTthe scratch fours for four cups (value 25s each) and a medal (value 10s) were rowed on Tuesday, the results being as follows :— Fifth Heat—E. Haruier, B. Vaughan, C. J. Stuart, J. Stuart (stroke), and W. Adamson (cox.), versus C. Freeman, C. J. Innocent, W. H. Cosaens, George Warlow (stroke), and A. Clarko (cox.). Warlow's crew had the advantage in the boat, and Stuart's as regards the water. Stuart's crew took the lead close after the start, and in- creased it to about a length and a half; but to- wards the finish Marlow faurted pluckily, losing only by about three-quarters of a length behind Stuart e. Sath heat-G. Preece J- Pr'ce (stroke), J.F. Marsh, W. H. PeiU, and Hawkesworth, jun. (cox.) versus T. Fuller, G. Pimbury, H. Ford, R. Roseveare (stroke), and Bond (cox.) Price's crew bad the best boat, and Roseveare's the best of the water. The latter took the lead, and soon after the start increased Jt, winning easily by three and a half lengths. Final Heat-T. Puller, G. Pimbnry, H. Ford, R. Roseveare (stroke), and Bond (cox.), versus E. Harmer, B. Vanghan, U. J. Stuart (stroke), and W. Adamson (cox.) Stuart had the best of the water, and Roseveare the lightest boat. The bow of Ros&veare s crew broke his oar in the second or third stroke, and soon after the bow of Stuart s crew broke his stretcher. Stuart's crew won anyhow.

THE CAPTURE OF A ROGUE AT MERTHYR. A young man named Charles Thomas, who was charged at the Merthyr pclice-court on Mon- day with a series of robberies of the most im- pudent and systematic character, was brought up an remand before the stipendiary on Wednesday, when another case against him was gone into. It will be remembered that the evidence adduced upon the occasion of his first appearance before the court showed that the prisoner had for some months past been in the habit of going to bouses in various parts of the district and engaging lodgings by the week, and that, having occupied these lodgings one night, he made oS the next morning with whatever property he could conve- niently lay his hands upon, his spoil consisting chieny of watches and articles of personal cloth- icg. In the further case heard on Wednesday it was. shown that after sleeping one night at the CoSee Tavern, Troedyrhiw, he decamped on the following day with a suit of clothes belonging to a. lodger named George Morgan, and pledged them at a pawnshop at Blaenavon. Prisoner was com- mitted for trial at the sessions on all the charges btought against him—eix in number.

CARDIFF BENCH AND THE LICENSING QUESTION. TH; APPEALS TO QUARTER SESSIONS. TO THE EDITOR. SlE,Iu my letter which you kindly published on September 29th, I dealt very fully with the question of vested interests," which ought to have convinced any unprejudiced mind that there is no such thing us vested interests in public- house licences, and hence there is no ground for supposing that any compensation is due to any holder of a licence when his licence is withheld or refused from any cause whatever by the magis- trates. But, as your correspondent G. W. M," in his letter of September 30th (in which he rambles about from Dan to Beersheba, until it is dimcult to understand what he is aimiug at), makes a. faint attempt to plead for c0ml)em¡¡ti,)!}, I should like to have another word on vested interests," and then I "hail follow with a word on the appeal to quart!)!' sessions." The discretion of the magistrates to withhold or refuse renewals of licences is just as wide as in the ease of new licences, although licensing magistrates are sometimes inclined to wiak at all manner of infringements of the licensing acts, and Induce in a soft kind of pandering to the so- called vested interests," and apparently shut their eyes to the fact that the public have rights aa against the puMican, and rights that rest upon a muc? more substantial basis than the shadowy Interest of the licensed victualler. It appears to me no dimcu!ty to prove thtt judicial and extr. Judicial authorities alike agree in reference to public-houses—that whether for a new licence, a provisional heence, a grant by way of renewal, a renewal, or a transfer, there is no right what- ever to a licence, and it must certainly be admitted, in the words of the Z<no Joug,,nal, November 10th, 1883:—" It is not argutblo that licensed persons of any kind have a legal t'M<C(! irik?,e,st in their licences." If political authorities be quoted, full and un- reserved control over licences by ma.gi;.tra!.es is plainly declared. The Right Hon. Sir W. V. Harcourt, Bart., M.P., in the Houde of Commons, April 17th, 1883, said Some magistrates from London came on a deputation to me at the Home Omce. They said our country is suSei Ing terribly from the evils of drink. We have got too many public-houses. The whole system is bad." I said-" Why, who put these public-houses there? Who licensed them ? If you have too m my public houses, why license so many, and why not give instructions to your police, which, as you know very well, if carried out strictly, would soon diminish one-half of them." Sir Richard Gross, Home Secretary, is reported to have expressed the opinion, no doubt after consulting the law otncers of the Crov.'n, that Justices of the Peace had sumeient powers given them by law to control the granting of licences to public-houses if they would only exercise such powers, inasmuch as they had just the same power to refuse renewals as they had to refuse a new licence."—Hindle. Sir W. V. Harcourt again, la the House of Commons, April 27, 1833, said, You have conferred on certain local authorities the right to say whether there shall be many public-houses or' few, and I venture to say that it may be construed is the law whether there shall be any in the locality where they have jurisdiction, because the law is that every licence is annual, and may be refused." Now, sir, I challenge G. W. M." to prove that a vested interest in a licence has been created or allowed to grow up, or to show any just ground for any compensation to any holder of a licence at any time that lie may not obtain a renewal. I am free to declare that discretionary prohibi- tion or local option is already the law of the land in licensing matters, and the licensing authority, being the local magistrates, have power, if they tliink 6t, to prohibit the opening of any or all houses whatever for the public sale of intoxicating liquors. What is required is that public opinion should be brought to bear upon the licensing magistrates in each district, setting forth clearly what the desire of the larger portion of the in- habitants is in relation to this tramc, aud thus in- duce them to exercise to a fair and legitimate extent the powers they already po&sess. Breaches of the licensing acts by the holder of a licence are by some magistrates held to be no reason for re fusing a licence unless the offender has been three times convicted, but the judges do not take so lenieut a view of evasions of the law. In some districts, where magistrates have been lax ;n the administration of the licensing laws, outraged public opinion has successfully vindi- cated the right of private persons to put the law in motion for the closing of IH-coaduct.ed licensed houses. There seems to be considerable doubt and mis- conception upon the question of right to object to th9 renewal of licences but it is quite clear from the Acts of 1872 and 1874 that any person has a right to give the notice of objection required, and to tender evidence on oath in support of it. Mr G. C. Whibeley, in his book on the Licensing Acts, says that "any one may oppose the renewal of a licence." Mr Patterson, iu his text-book, agrees with this. Again, to quote "Hindle's Legal Status," The Queen's Bench Division would, in a proper case, issue a mandamus to enforce the rights of objectors to be heard." This right of individual objection was freely exercised at the aunuat licensing session, 1883, by grocers, a n'l temperance men, I am not aware of any single case of compensa- tion being awarded to any peraou on failing to get a renewal of his licence. There is no limit to the discretion of the licensing justices, except the right of appeal to quarter sessions in case of refusal to renew existing licences. This was done before the Cardiif bench last month on the occasion of the adjourned licensing meeting, when the justices refused to grant a renewal of a licence to certain public-bous's. How little this right of appeal is likely to stand in th way of the suppression of a licence the local bench may determine to withhold is shown in a public-house case tried at the Gloucester quarter sessions (next after the licensing sessions, 1883), when, in spite of the fact that the licence had be3n renewed annually for 25 years, and of the argument that licences could not be taken away for the purpose of reducing the rublic-liouses in alineigiibourhood, the court; declined to ant the licence which the borouh magiatraMs in their discretion had refused to renew. In the case of a Birmingham publican, the renewal of whose licence had been refused by the Ioc.t! magistrates because che holder had been nned once only, the Ciurl. of Q'1-oen's Bench said the j tisèice" would have abandoned their duty had they not refused to renew the licence. In the Queen's Bench Division on Jan. 31st, 1884, before BArozi Pollc-ck and Mr Justice Lopes, the public-house in question was in Market-place, Derby, was an old one, and it was stated had been occupied for 100 years by wine merchants with a full public-house licence. Application was made at a special session for a transfer licence. This was refused, and the quarter sessions en appeal confirmed the refusal, assuming to" do so as a matter of discretion, It was admitted that the applicant was a 6t and proper person,' and that there was no charge against him. Mr E. Smith urged that in the transfer of a licence, especially in the case of an old house, there was a kind of vested interest' in the owner, and that there was not such an absolute discretion to grant or refuse a licence as in the case of a new licence, Mr Baron Pollock On what ground did the magistrates refuse the transfer of the licence ? It is believed that it was because they con- sidered there were public-houses enough in the parish without this; that is, in the exercise of a general and absolute discretion. Baron Pollock said he should be sorry to lay down any rule which would limit the discretion of the justices further than it had been limited by the legislature, but he should be still more sorry to give any ground for the belief that a licence in such a case was a kind of property in the landlord. The notion that there was a property in the landlord in the licence could not be considered as sound law. Mr Justice Lopes concurred, and held that in cases of transfer of licences the discretion of the magistrates is to be absolute.' However sweeping a reduction may be made in the number of existing licences in any particular district, or however small a number of licensed bouses may be left to supply the presumed requirements of the neighbourhood, the court will decline to inter- fere so long as it can be shown that the local magistrates went about the matter in a proper way. As a. matter of strict law the legis- lature have left the magistrates of each district to be a guide to themselves in this matter." A Parliamentary Return, asked for by Mr Arthur Peel, has been published, which shows that bs- tween the years 1875-82, nearly 2,000 old-estab- ished public-houses have been closed, owing to the magistrates in the exercise of their Local Option" refusing to grant by way of renewal the existing licences, thus:— 472 old victuallers' "full" licences in counties were refused to be reuewed. 329 old vtctu?Hers- full" licences in boroughs were refused to be renewed. 96 old licences for beerhouses and winehouaes in i ?.i counties were refused to be renewed. 1.M1 old hcences for beerhouses and winehouson were refused to be renewed. 1,958 total refusals of old licences. In addition to these refuses, the mwstrates dechned to gr&nt 5,923 new vidua.ller¡¡' licences in counties. 5.1M new V!ctu&!Iera' licences in boroughs. Z,68d new licences for bcerhouaes a.nd winehouaea in 1,830 new licences for beerhouses &nd winehousea in borougbs.

SWANSEA TOWN COUNCIL. THE HALF-PENNY BRIDGE AGAIN. THE MAYOR'S FAREWELL. The monthly meeting of the Swansea. Town Council was held on Wednesday. The Mayor (CounciMor Burn;e) presided, and there wpre a)so present Aldermen H. R. D;),iiiel, J. GI:i.sbrook, L. TuHoch. F. A. Yeo, and Thomas, and Councilors Freeman, Maliphant, Daniel Jones, Trew, H. A. Chapman, E. Bath, D. Thomas, W. Williams, James Jones, J. Lewis, J. Cady, and Martin. IS IT A MCDHLE ? The MAYOR moved the adoption of the report of the watch committee, which, amongst other things, contained the following :— It aving been reported to the committsa th?t there wa.snop!acoto?eeptho prtson TM, p?d insufRcient room for Lt)e two Rre euines Mid otihet- the hri.a.de ap- pHa.uces at the new station in Goa.t-street. the head constit.b'e wts a. fhorised to arrange with Mr Uoyd, of Oxfü1'ct-stroet., to rent a coa.ch-house in his yard at a rental of 5s 6d per week and it is further recom- mended that Mr Hoyd be paid a sum of j310 per an- num. tie undertaking to provide the necessary horses for th3 UM engines whenaver require.). In calling attention to this item his worship said in consequence of what had been stated within the past two weeks some explanation was re- quired. At the last meeting of the watch corn mittee he noticed that some of those present ex- pressed surprise at there not being sumcient ac- commodation for the whole of the appliances and engines connected with the fire extinguishing a:i.-angements of the town. Those g-entlemen must have forgotten the long discussions the cor- poration had on the question before the plans were passed. They went into all the details, and he should have thought every member of the council was well aware the engines would not be kept there, for it was found, with the approval of the head constable, that by far the cheapest p!an to adopt was to use the Goat-stt'eeL place, as a. central p!a.ce—a sort of rallying point, and that the hre-engines should not be kep!. on the premies, but as near as possible to the )u'rse' which were not the property of the corporation, and which they got for the very reasonable sum of JSlOayear. Therefore, to have the Sreeugines in would be no advantage, because a, ure-engine was only required for the outlying districts, and therefore instead of spending .61,500 or JB2,000 for a station on a larger scn.ie, the council decided for the present that the wisest plan was to adopt the scheme already being carried out, which would, he thought, meet all the requirements of the town. Whether that was really the wisest plan was, perhaps, a question, but he decidedly thought tha corporation had adopted the proper course. What he could uot undersba.nd was that after everything had been discussed and brought before the committee time after time, some one got up and asked why it was. Mr DANiKL JONES seconded, and alluding to the statement of the mayor, denied that there had been a mudd!e, a.nd said the more he con- sidered the question, the m.)re he was of opinion that the scheme was a complete scheme. Mr FREEMAN took exception to the remarks that had been made. When the question of the erection of the station was first 'brought forward, it was on the understanding that it should be a complete central police and fire brigade station. He objected to the piecemeal way in which this work had beeu done. The present incomplete station had necessitated the addition of four policemen to the force, and had continued instead of discontinuing the system of having one hre appliance at one place and another at another, and the head-quarters of the police at no par- ticular place in the town. He quite agreed with the remark of the press that a, muddle had been made, and he believed a muddle would continue as long as the present state of things existed. Mr CHAPMAN, who used the word muddle at the last meeting of the watch eommittse, still con- tended that the expression waa merited, but said it was uttered owing to the report of the head constable rather than to the actual state of affairs. The report was then adopted. CORPORATION PROPERTY. Mr Alderman DANIEL moved, and Mr REE3 seconded, the adoption of the report of the pro- perty and general purposes committee, .which, amongst other things recommended that The estate superintendent having reported that the present tenant of the Welcome to Town Inn, Strand, hia interest therein to Mr Addison, of Carmarthen- road, the committee, seeing no objection to the trans- fer, rec mmend that Mr Addison be accepted as tenant upon the terms of the present tenancy, Tiie estate superintendent reported that the estimated cost of forming the proposed new road from Graig- place to Mount Pleasant would be B300. and that the Treasury had only sanctioned the borrowing of a sum of B180 fo. this work. It was resolved that tenders be invited, and that the town dork be instructed to apply to the Treasury for permission to borrow any sum required in ex,:e.f! of the amount a.lready sancthned. A letter wa.s read from Mr i). PhiUips, who occupies a portion of the ground in Alexandra-road with shows and shooting galleries, requeuing the withdrawal of the notice to quit served upon him. It was resolved that the notice be withdrawn on condition that all shooting on the ground be forthwith discontinued. Mr CHAPMAN strongly protested against the notice to MrPhiIHps being withdrawn. The shoot- ing was, he contended, a great nuisance, and tended to demoralise the young. Mr MARTIN seconded, and agreed with Mr Chapman's remarks. Mr FREKMAN, in supporting the amendment, endorsed what had been said. Mr DANtNL JoNKS opposed the amendment. The council had no right to interfere with the sports of the people, and he suggested that those who were too good to allow them should go up in a balloon. The amendment was lost. Mr DANIEL JoNES strongly objected to the clause referring to the Welcome to Town Inn. There were nolens than 19 pubiic-houses in the Strand. He denied that they were required, and ha thought it was the duty of the council to take the lead in lessening the number of public-houses in that locality with aJI proper speed. He sug- gested that the licence should be allowed to Mr CHAPMAN agreed with Mr Jones, and sa.Id that out of 15 houses in that locality, 10 were public-houses. Many of them were badiy man- aged, and every step should be taken to reduce the number. Alderman Gi-ABBBOOK would like to see some of the houaea removed from the Strand, and he thought, they should be taken to other parts of the town, The suggestion was then allowed to drop, a member suggesting that an amendment jould not be carried at that meeting. On the motion of Mr FREMAN an amendment was put to the effect that a lease should not be granted to Mr WiUiams of the ground in Glamor- gan-street, he contending that the property should be kept as an open space for the benefit of the public, and, if necessary, used as the site of a fever hospital. The amendment was rejected. THE OYSTERMOUTH RAILWAY. Mr RKES asked if the Oystermouth railway had changed hands, but no reply was made to the quetion Mr Williams was informed by the MAYOR that the corporation held 80 shares in the railway. Mr WiLLlAMa thereupon entered a protest against the corporation parting with their shares, and urged the advisability, if necessary, of the question being fought. The MAYOR pointed out that nothing had yet been done, aad promised that another opportunity should be given of discussing the question. PUBLIC .WORKS AND SANITARY MATTERS. Mr FREEMAN moved, and Mr E. LEWIS seconded, the adoption of the report of the works and sanitary committee, which stated :— A letter;having been received from Mr T. P. Martin, offering to sell, for the sum of B170. a. strip of land i" front of Longland's House, St. Hulen's-road, for the purposes..of street improvements, the committee recommended that the oSer be accepted, the urban authority undertaking to reinstate the present wall upon the amended;boundary line, and to form a new entrance, as shown on the deposited plans for th3 rebuUding of these premises. The acceptance of the tender of Messrs David and R:cha,rds for the erection of a mortuary for .R121; that in the eveu of the cla.88-rooms recently erected in cm- nection with Mount Pleasant Chapel being occupied without the surveyor's certificate of completion there,of being nrat obtained, the town clerk was instructed to take legal proceedings against the parties responsible therefor; and that the temporary sanitary hospital heretofore intended to be erected on the Tunnel site be now erected on the site near the west pier, under the terms of the contract already entered into, the con- tractor to waive all claims in respect of work done on the former site in consideration of the lesser haulage necessitated by the change of sites. The report was received and adopted. THE HARBOUR TRUSTEES AND THK WATKB SUPPLY. The report of the water and sowers committee stated that— A letter, dated the 22nd September inst., had been received from the clerk to the harbour trustees request- ing a reduction in the charge at present made for watar supplied to shipa and to the harbour tr'tst boilers and it is recommended that from and after the 1st November next the price for water supplied to the harbour for ships be at the rate of 7s 6d per 1,000 gal. Ions. This arrangement to continue for 12 months, and to be detenninable upon a three months' notice on either side to that eSect. As regards the water supplied to boilers the corn. mittee are unable to recommend any reduction in the present charge therefor. The borough surveyor's report on the ventilation of sewers was received, and adopted, and the committee recommended that the town-clerk be instructed to apply to the Local Government Board for leave to bor- row a sum of JE2.400 to defray the cost of Rxing 400 ventila.tinlt sha.ft.' consisting' of 6.inch piR laid from points Bear the ends of the sewers to the gable end of the houses adjoining, and surmounted by patent air pump ventilators. K300 of this amount to be expended in nxing 50 of these ventilators as soon as permission is obtained to borrow the money, It was stated in the course of a discussion which arose that the harbour trustees had withheld a considerable sum of money. The arrangement, according to the Mayor, had been that the trust should pay 10s per 1,000 for all water passing through the metre, the trustees to keep tho pipes in order. It was decided to refer the question back to the committee. A!derman DANIEL thought, considering the importance of the question dealt with in the clause dealing with the ventilation of sewers, it should be further considered, and he moved that it be deferred. < Mr DANIEL JoNEa seconded, a.nd ths amend- ment was carried. FINANCE. The nuance committee reported that The treasurer la'dujton the table a statement show. ing the several sane! ions obtained from H.M. Treasury and the Lf'cal Government Board for now loans since the d&te of the Swansea Corporation Loans Act. The amount, actuatly expended at the present time is E52.003, and it. i.s estimated that a further amount of B60.MO will be required in the course of the ensuing twelve months; and it was resolved that arrangements be made as aoou as possible with the Bank of England to issue B100.0CO of the Swansea Corporation 34 per cent. stock, and to extend payment of the instalments over a period of six or twelvemonths; also th?ttho Mayor and chairman of this committee be appointed to carry out these arrangements. It was also reported that the sum of B120.979, borrowed under the Artisans Dwellings' Act. had not been suCtcient to cover the expenditure, and the town cterk was instructed to report upon the power of the Corporation to borrow the balance of S559 8a 7d, being the dehdency, as shown in the accounts of the Urban Sanitary Authority at this date.. n, ? In moving the adoption of the report, Mr BATH said he had examined the rate-books of St. John's, and found them in a better condition than hitherto. There were, however, still eight houses not included on the rate-book, and 95 landlords lived in their houses, and, contrary to law were allowed to compound. The report was received and adopted THE HALFPENNY BRIDGE QUESTION The MAYOR, m accordance with notice, moved the consideration of the following report of the specud committee appointed to consider the ques- tion of freeing the halfpenny bridge t-?"? ?"? ?'" ? ?? considera. '°- ?? ?"? ? ? ??? M' Md being of opinion that a majority of the whole council are not m favour of the question being adionmed for 12 ?°'? recommend that resolution 707 of the councij (lUth beptember. 1884) be rescinded, and that the bar- bonr trustees be at on ;e asked to free the brides on the condition that the corporation Mdertako to keep tne surfMe ot roadway portion of the bridges and appfoa.chea in repair, or in the alternative that thw Baroonr trustees be asked to make a proposal to the corporation with a. view to the bridges being freod at an early date. In the course of his remarks the MAYOR ob- served that at the last meeting certain statements were made by Alderman Yeo which, to say the least, required some explanation. Alderman Yeo said that in the oriRinal act the trustees wera only authorised to levy the tolls m order to defray the coet of the construction of the bridge was incor- rect, that the tolls were perpetual, and that the revenue of the trust would not admit of the aboli- tion of the toll. His Worship, by means of quo- tations from acts of Parliament, denied the nrst three statements, and asserted that the revenue of the trust could at least admit of the freeing of the bridge to foot passengers. Having repeated the Mgomenta which have already been reported, hia worahip urged the advisability of keeping the question open, and suggested that the least the trustees could to would be to place the matter in the hands of their clerk and harbour superintendent, with a view of the question being ultimately settled. He was more and more convinced that such a tax on locomotion and industry and a. one-sided tax on :ndividua!s was discreditable to the town. MrLt:w!s seconded. Alderman Yso moved as an amendment tb,1.t Having- regard to the decision arrived at at the last meeting to adjourn the question for 12 months, it is inexpedient to renew the discussion to-day and that the minutes therefore be adop- ted." It struck him, he said, that the council were acting a very sorry figure in discussing that question again. He did not understand by what authority the committee set it- self up as censor of the corporation. It did not s-?-em to approve of the resolution a¡-r: \led at at th last meeting', and the members took on themselves to overhaul what was said, and to recommend the renewal of the question. He very much regretted the adoption of such a course, because it would stultify the council and make it the laughing-stock of the town. Without -g,tiii going into the question of the advisability of the freeing of the tolls, he must express his gre;Ü regret at the obstructive tactics resorted to by the other side. Councillor WiLLiAMS, though In favour of the freeing of the tolls, seconded, and suggested that the proper course was for the council at the annual meeting to appoint a committee to deal withthequestion. Mr FREEMAN agreed with Mr Williams. Mr DANIEL .JONES, having supported the motion, proceeded to attack the press for giving greater prominence to the speech of Alderman Yeo than to that delivered by the mayor, and, amid cxfJ!ess!ons of dissent from those present, made an unfounded insinuation that there was a. reason for this. Mr Cady, Alderman Daniel, Mr Bath, Alder- man T(!j!cch, and Alderman GIasbrook supported the amendment, and explained that though they agreed with the necessity for freeing the tolls, they were of opinion that the proper course had not been adopted by the mover of the 'notion. Mr Chapman, Mr Tre'.v, and Alderman Thomas supported the motion. 0'1 a divison nine voted for the amendment— Aldermen Yeo, Daniei, TuUoch, and GIasbrook, and Messrs Jamea Jones, Freeman, Wil- liams, and Cady. Against (10)—The 1Ltyor, Alderman Thomas, and Messrs Chapman, Mar- tin, Thomas. Trew, D. Jane. J'\1aliphant, J. Lewis, and W. J. Rees. The original motion was then put and carried. THE RETIREMENT OF THE MAYOR. At the close of the proceedings, the council, as usual, were entertained at luncheon by the Mayor, and on the removal of the cloth, Mr GLA8BROOK proposed a, hearty vote of thanks to the Mayor for the courtesy and eSiciency with which ha had nlled the chair during the past year. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. His Worship, in response, expressed the pleasure with which he had discharged the duties of his ofBce, and bore testimony, to the kindness and assistance he had received from the members of the council. There were, he added, many questions which had been started during his mayoralty for his successor to push on, and he doubted not that if he received the same assist- ance from the council lie had, they would be carried to a successful conclusion. His worship said it had been suggested whether he would stand for another year. Now this was a thing he objected to on principle, so long as there were capable men who had not yet p:13"ed the chair. There were several who were well qualified for the ofSce, and he, therefore, could not entertain the suggestion. Thehea!thofthe retiring members was then drunk, and the proceedings terminated.

THE ENLARGEIENT OF ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH, CARDIFF. A meeting of the parishioners of the newly- formed parish of St. Andrew's, Cardiff, was held in the large school-room at the Proprietary School, Dumfries-place, on Wednesday, to consider the question of the enlargement of the parish church. The vicar (the Rev. G. W. Hanford) presided, and there were present Messrs Moore and Hooper, churchwardens, and a large number of members of the congregation attending St. Andrew's Church. The vicar, in his opening remarks, placed the position of the church and the requirements of the people clearly before the meeting. He re- ferred to the fact that, although a new church had just been opened in a. neighbouring parish, those who attended St. Andrew's Church during the past few Sundays could but have observed that place was inconveniently crowded, and a necessity arose for the enlarge- ment of the building. This necessity had arisen from the great increase in the population at Cardiff. While the Rev. D. Howell was vicar of St. John's he proposed enlarging St. Andrew's Church. The late vicar, the Rev. C. J. Thompson, had also referred to it in his annual reports, but as the division of the parish .as then contem- plated, he had left the work of enlarging the church to his successor. The population at Cathays had recentty enormously increased. At the upper end it had been suggested that a Jarge permanent church should be erected, to seat a thousand people, but that work would have to ba deferred for & time, and a. scheme was in process of being carried out for the enlargement of St. TeUo's Church, at a cost of JMOO, which would materially increase the accommodation at this place. Of this sum one-half had been already raised by small subscriptions. Tha mis- sion services at the Cathays Schoolroom were also largely attended by school children and aduits. The enlargement of St. Andrew's Church would be a work of greater magnitude, and will depend to a considerable extent on the efforts of the congregation. To enable him to do that he h..d invited them to meet him, and consult with them on the best method of carrying out the work. The churchwardens and himself had called in the aid of Mr Butterne!d, an eminent architect, of London, who had prepared plansforthe enlargement of the church by increasing the width of the chance!, and also by throwing out two transepts. The church ac present afforded sitting accommodation for 500 persons, a.nd the additions to 260 persons,*making a totnl of 760. The cost of the alteration and the general repairs neces- of the alteration and the general repairs neces- sary to the church would, it was esti- mated, amount to ;S2,600. Tha altera- tions would convert St. Andrew's Church into a very pretty church, and were the only way in which the enlargement of the building could be carried out. Oa the motion of Mr Heard, seconded by Mr J. N. Flint, a resolution was passed, stating that, having regard to the great increase in the population of the pariah, increased church accommodation had be- come an urgent necessity. The plans sub- mitted by Mr Butterneld were then handed round the room, and a resolution passed approving of them. A committee was appointed to collect the money to carry out the work. A subscription list was opened, and from 43 gentle- men present promises to the amount of JS5t5 received. The proceedings were very enthusiastic, and all present seemed desirous to express to the new vicar their willingness to co-operate with him m carrying out his work.

ECCLESIASTICAL FRACAS IS LONDON. STRIKING SCENES OF CHRISTIAN LOVE. On Tuesday, at Worship-street poHce-coart, Thomas King, James Hunter, Walter King, and William Ress appeared in answer to summonses variously charging them with having assaulted Henry William Baldock, and Harriett and Edward Baldock.—In opening the case, Me Cattlin sai<i that the proceedings arose out of a long-standing dispute among the congregatioo attending St. Mark's Church, Victoria Park. la June last the vicar, the Rev. Mr Hart, died, and the trustees appointed as his successor a. clergy- man named Sweetman. In consequence of this appointment a good deal of dissension and dis- satisfactiou was created among the congregation. The complainant, Mr Henry Ealdock, was the people's churchwarden, and it having come to his knowledge that a certain portion of the congrega' tion had arranged to hold a hostile meeting at the mission-hall adjoining the Church, he procured the keys of that hall from the vicarage, where they had been kept since Mr Sweetman's appointment, and took them home with him, with the object of preventing the meeting from being held. The complainant in this course acted upon the right of control wh ch, as churchwarden, he exercised over the church bui!ding. On the evening of the same day, September 5th, white sitting with his family at home, the compiainant was disturbed by a violent knocking at his door. When it was opened, Hunter, the two Kings, and Rees rushed into the room, and demanded, in high tones, to have the keys. The complainant said he should not give them up. Hunter then struck him upon the nose, and afterwards combined with the other defendants in pulling the complainant out of the room and down one or two of the They held him by the arms, and cries were heard of Pull him down—we'H give him what for 1" Mrs Baldock and her sun, a young man, came to the complainant's assistance, and they also were assaulted by some of the defendants, and also by the people who had assembled there. The crowd of people was very large, and much excite- ment prevailed. The police were sent for, and the crowd was cleared away, but subsequently more persons gathered outside the house and hooted. Mr Cattliu proceeded to say that the. congregation was spht up into two parties, one standing by Mr Swe&tman and the other siding with a candidate named StMvens. The Rev. Mr Steevens, it was a!)e?e I, had incited some of the congregation to disturbances in his favour, and hence the demonstration at which the alleged assaults were commitLed. He (Mr Cattlin} thought It was a pity that a gentleman In Mr teeVeI'1R' position-one who was paid to preach in the chape!—should have so acted. Since the occurrence printed squibs had been circulated about the parish, containing ridiculing illustra- tions and coarse allusions. One oi: these ):o handed to the magistrate. It portrayed the inci- dents of the scene at Mr Baldock's house, and was headed, Doings at the village of Toady- eumsneak, where idiots bow with Judas's smile, and hate from week to week." Evidence was then given by Henry Baldook, a chemist, of Francis-terrace, Victoria park, by Mrs Baldock, and her two sons. Their testimony went to show that on the evening of Sept. 5 they were called npon by the defendants. One of demanded the keys, which were refused to be given up. Thereupon Mr Baldock was struck upon the nose. He pushed the defendant Hunter from him, and tried to close the door, but failed, and was then dragged out on to the steps. Here he was further assaulted by the defendants. Mr& Baldock came to his assignee, and she was struck violent!y upon her arms and the two sons, who helped to protect their father, were likewise struck. A scene of the wildest disorder followed. The lawn was crowded by members of the congre- gation of St. Mark's Ch ch, who hooted and called out offensive names. A consultation was then held, but the defend- ants elected to fight out the case, and the evidence for the complainants was continued. The case having lasted the whole afternoon, and the prose- cution not then having been completed, the sum- monses were adjourned.

CARDIFF'RURAL SANITARY AUTHORITY. THE WATER SUPPLY TO MAINDY. The ordinary monthly meeting of the above authority was held at the omces, Cardiff, o0- Wednesday, Mr R. 0. Jones presiding. A dis' cussion arose relative to the condition of tb6< drains in DandaSf. It was stated that consider- able feeling prevailed in the city on the subject the smells emitted being scarcely, if anything lessened. It transpired that the charcoal changed once a month as hitherto, and the proper attention was regularly paid to the drains.—Mf J. Watson proposed that the charcoal of the upper ventilators be changed once a fortnight.—The Chairman moved that the mat- ter be referred to the subcommittee appointed to consider the subject, and that they be empowered to consult the engineer if they think fit, and make a report of the whole matter to the next meeting in the meantime the sub-committee to take such measures to abate the smell as they may deem expedient.—Mr Watson waived bis resold' tion, and that of the chairman's, being seconded,. was carried.—The Clerk said the Maindy water was found to be unfit for drinking purposes, and this being so had caused him to make some enquiries. As the result, he made ;¡,n application to the Cardiff Corporation asking them to lay a pipe from their main in the Crwys- road, at a point above the barracks, to carry It along the footpath which crossed the fields io I} south-westerly direction, and enter the North- road. That would detiver water at a sumcient level to supply all the houses where the deficiency existed. The corporation previously represented that they could not send the water from the foot 01 the bridge in consequence of the bridge. He laid before the committee the reply.—The corpora- tion stated in their letter that they would lay the necessary mains for the purpose at the rate of charge authorised, provided the rural 8iMnta.ry authority would undertake to enforce compliance in the direction of requiring the houses to be properly supplied, and that they would consent to pay any costs that might be required for the necessary easement of the drains The Cierk added that the cost to the corporation would be about .SMO.—Mr Watson thought tbe- oSer should be accepted, and made a motion ac- cordingly. He added that he ought to express bis sen-ie of the ab!e manner in which Mr Ste* phenson bad negodated the matter, seeing espe; daily that they had several times failed.—Mr q H. Jones seconded the resolution and concurred the opinion expressed.—The resolution was theo submitted and carried.—Mr Stephenson referred to the assistance given by the water engineer, Mr Williams, in the matter.—The report of the medical omcer showed that during the quart3r there had been 152 births, of which 92 were males- and 60 females. There had been 67 deaths. Scar? latina prevailed to a certain extent in the rurat districts.—Mr Watson asked if the medical ofncer would give them a statement referring specially ? LIandatf. There was an impression created tha" Llandaff was a very unhealthy place.—The meat' cat omcer promised to make out such report. The reports of the inspectors contained nothing ot interest beyond the statement of one that t & sewers md been opened, and no obstruction whaB* <ver found therein.
