On her way back Mrs. Lambert ap- proached her and used vile language towards her, and asked her what she (Mrs. Harris) had to say about her sis- ter. She had never quarrelled with Mrs. Lambert before, but she had had a few words with Mrs. Lambert's sister (Mrs. Jones), who had made a certain statement concerning witness' child's death. Witness added that she had to seek shelter in a Mr Moore's house. She afterwards went to the police.—Cross- examined by Mr W. R.

Mrs. Harris came into his house for protection. Mrs. Moore corroborated.—For the de- fence the defendant was called. She said that she saw Mrs. Harris coming out of the shop. She went on towards her and asked what she had to say about her. She also told her she ought to be quiet, inasmuch as she (the de- fendant) had helped her when the child died.

Her mother did not use any bad words.—Mrs. Elizabeth Jones, 3 William St., sister to defendant, said she saw her sister speaking to Mrs. Harris. Her sister did not use the language complained of.

Alleged Breaking and Entering. Geo. Ed. Johnson, of no fixed abode, was charged with breaking and enter- ing the lock-up shop of W. H. Flooks, 13 Canon Street, Aberdare, and steal- ing therefrom 5 shirts, socks, etc.—W. H. Flooks said that at 8.15 p.m. on May 7th he left his business premises in Canon Street properly secured. There was a window at the back of the premises, and it was properly closed. On May 8th, about 10 a.m., the police told him something and witness then examined the premises and he found that the window at the rear had been broken and goods were missing. Only one pane had been broken. A person could not have got inside through the hole made, but the latch could be inter- fered with after breaking the window. Boxes had been opened. The police showed witness the articles produced- 5 shirts, 5 ties, 3 handkerchiefs, a scarf, 4 pairs of socks, 4 pairs of cuff links, 10 pairs of armlets and 4 caps. Witness missed them from his stock, and now identified them as his. They were worth 35s.—Margaret White, wife of Wm. White, 23 High Street, Aberdare, stated that prisoner came to lodge with her about a month ago. On Thursday, May 7th last, he left her house at 11.30 p.m. Witness locked up the premises and went to bed. Next morning she came downstairs at 8 o'clock and found the kitchen window op,en at the oottom. Prisoner came in about ten minutes later. She asked him where he was that night and he said in bed. She contradicted him, as she went to his room at 12 o'clock. She told him to go.—P.S. German arrested the prisoner at Mrs. White's house on Friday, May 8th. He found the prison- er packing up to go, and then dis- covered the property produced, wrapped up.—Another charge preferred against the prisoner was that of breaking and entering the printing office next door and stealing a knife. Wm. James Davies, Fothergill Street, Aberdare, stated that he was employed at the above office. On Thursday last he left a penknife on the desk.

Mountain Ash Paternity Case. — X.'llie Davies, 20 Stream Street, Moun- tain Ash, summoned Wm. Welsford to show cause, etc. Mr T. W. Griffiths appeared for the complainant, and Mr W. Thomas defended. Complainant stated that on February 25th last she gave birth to a female child, of which the defendant was the father. She had < walked out with him on Thursdays and Sundays for over two years. She was in service with Dr. Llewellyn Williams and defendant used to call at the house and whistle for her. On May 14th last year she was with the defendant at the Empire. Ruth Annie Owen was also there. Welsford paid for her to go in. She remembered the day because it was her nephew's birthday, and she had sent him a present. Misconduct took place that night and on several other occasions. A little later she found she was in trouble, and when she told him he said, "Ugh, wait and see." He didn't appear surprised. He then told her that if she was correct he would marry her. -In November last she and her sister went to the defendant's house. His mother asked them in. Defendant came into the room and she asked him, Now then, Will, ain't you the father?" He turned his head and said nothing. The mother then said, Oh no, my boy's too much of a coward to do such a thing; if he was the father he wouldn't sleep last night." She then said, "Well, Will, ain't you had nothing to do with me?" and he turned his head again and wouldn't speak. By Mr Thomas: She didn't know that he was keeping company with Flossie Hankin. She had not walked out with Watkin Ward, but she met him in August. When they went to defend- ant's home in November, Miss Jenkins, Mr. Drayne, and Mr and Mrs Welsford were present. He didn't deny being the father.—Ruth Annie Owen, 103 High Street, Mountain Ash, stated that she and the parties went to the Empire together on Whit-Wednesday last year. Welsford paid. Since that date she had seen them on several occasions to- gether.—Lizzie Harris, 4 Rock St., Mountain Ash, stated she had seen the parties out together in Whit-week and in June.—Maggie May Davies, sister of complainant, gave evidence of an inci- dent of peeping over a wall. She re- membered the date because it was com- plainant's birthday next day. Cerid- wen OfcwWi, 91 High Street, Mountain Ash, had seen the parties walking out together on many occasions.—William Welsford, the defendant, stated that he was 18 years of age, and was an assist- ant baker to his father. He earned no wages. He had walked out with her, but not since Easter, 1913. The state- ment made by the complainant that he. was at the Empire, was untrue. When complainant came to his mother's house he denied being the father of her child.—By Mr Griffiths: He took her to Cardiff on Boxing Day, 1913.-Freder- ick Edward Drayne, baker, remembered the conversation in November last year between the parties, when defendant denied the paternity. He was still em- ployed by defendant's father. Gertie Jenkins was present in November at defendant's home and heard the com- plainant admit that she had not been with him since Easter. She was still in the employ of defendant's father. — Harry Welsford, father of defendant, said that when his son was taxed about it in November he answered "It's a lie."—The Bench thought the complain- ant's case was unusually strong, and made an order of 3s. 6d. a week for 14 years and costs.

Letters to the Editor. NO SALVATION OUTSIDE THE CHURCH.. Sir,—In your last issue of the "Leader" it was reported that the fiev. T. Edmunds, the pastor A Canuel, Aberdare, had stated while preaching at Siloa that salvation outside the church was impossible. I heard the rev. gentleman make the remark. It was to a crowded congregation in a badly-ventilated edifice. Well, if one of the conditions of church membership is to remain for hours in a building from which fresh air is rigorously ex- cluded then I will risk it and stay out- side the church. I do not believe that the Creator of oxygen ever intended that man should obtain the salvation of his soul at the expense of the damna- tion of his body. If yoid are inviting people to attend your places of worship ask Dr. Oxygen to accompany them.- Yours, I OUTSIDER.

Cymanfa Garni. On Monday the annual singing festival of the Trecynon, Cwmdare, and Llwyd- coed C.M. Churches was held in the morning at Gobaith, Cwmdare, and in the afternoon and evening at Carmel. Trecynon. In the morning, which was the children's service, the president was the Rev. T. Powell, and the organist Miss Nancy Edwards, Cwmdare. In the afternoon and evening respectively the presidents were the Rev. Margam Jones, Llwydcoed, and Mr. Evan Par- ker, Bryn Seion. The organist was Mr. Isaac George Powell, A.L.C.M., Carmel, who performed his work well. The con- ductor was Mr. J. T. Rees, Mus.Bac., Bow Street. The following anthems were well sung: _a"\v e never will bow down"; "Llawenfloeddiwch" (J. T. Rees), and "Filwyr Iesu" (Gwilym James.) '<Geiriau'r lesu" by Mr. A.

B.W.T.A. The monthly meeting of the B.W.T.A. (Aberdare Branch) was held at the English Wesleyan Vestry on Monday. Mrs. J. Griffiths presided. Mrs. Shep- herd and Miss Edwards, Trecynon, offered prayer, and Mrs. Furze read a portion of Scripture. Mrs. Wilcox, the secretary, gave the record of previous meetings. A quartette was given by Mrs. Bannister, Mrs. Knibbs, Mr. Ruston, and Mr. E. M. Vaughan. Nurse Janes, Cwmaman, then gave an address on The Care of Infants." Miss Janes, in the course of her address, remarked that a contented mother made a con- tented child. In many cases, however, the over-anxietv of the mother for the welfare of her infant bred worry. The child that cried well just after birth was a healthy child. It did the child good to cry, and also to sleep well. Give it plenty of pure air and sun- shine in the day and proper ventilation at night. It was a bad thing for babies to sleep with the parents; it frequently caused suffocation. The speaker then gave instruction with regard to the bathing and clothing of babies. A child must be fed regularly-not give it food when it cried. It was a bad habit to try and shake the baby to sleep. Let it be placed in the cradle when awake. She favoured the Welsh custom of using a shawl to wrap the baby in preference to the English system of long clothes. Nurse Janes said that a great many children suffered from rickets owing to improper feeding. Touching on the i question of alcohol she held that the mothers and their babies would be healthier if they had no intoxicating drinks. Water which was unpurified was poison to a child. All drinking water should be strained and boiled. Convulsions, she said, were caused by indigestible milk and irregular feeding. —Questions were put to the speaker at the close and satisfactorily answered by her. Comments were made by the presidesnt, Mrs. Griffiths, Nurse Green- ing, AIrs. Whittock, and Messrs. E. M. Vaughan and J. Ruston. Mrs. Walter Lloyd, in proposing a vote of thanks to Nurse Janes, made a few appropriate remarks. The president seconded. 'Thanks was also tendered to the ar- tistes and also to Mrs. Owen Wil- liams (surveyor), who generously gave the tea that day. Another quartette by the party closed the meeting. Miss Ed- wards, Trecynon, was the organist.
