That was on May 14th. Defendant admitted that he had not taken out a licence. He had taken one out since. The Bench asked defendant if he had anything to say, and he replied that times had been very hard and very little doing in his line since the trams were running. That was the reason he had not taken out a licence. Stipendiary: What is the fee for a I licence? Witness: 15s. The Stipendiary said they had de- i cided to deal leniently with him on this occasion.

The Stipendiary said that the maxi- mum penalty, in view of previous con- victions, was 220, and they had no power to inflict a smaller fine than a quarter of that amount.

Aberdare Shop Broken Into.
Aberdare Shop Broken Into. How Two Boys Snent the Proceeds of a Theft. Harold Evans (15) and Trevor Jen- kins (15) were brought up on a charge of breaking and entering No 7 High Street, a butcher shop, and stealing therefrom 92 17s. 9d. Mr. W. Thomas, solicitor, appeared for Jenkins. H. Trunkfield, Gospel Hall Ter- race, Gadlys, said he carried on business at No. 7 High Street. Last Thursday, June 11th, he locked the shop at 7.30 p.m. The first to arrive next morning was his assistant, and witness arrived at 9 a.m. He had not noticed anything wrong until P.C. Henebury arrived later in the day. From what the constable told him witness searched the cash desk, and found that 22 17s. 9d. was miss- ing. He knew the defendant Evans, who had been in his employ as an errand boy. P.C. Henebury deposed that he received a telephone message from Pontypridd on June 12th. He and P.S. Griffiths then went to No. 7 High Street, Aberdare, and told the last witness what the Pontypridd police had informed them. On go- ing upstairs they found that a bar across the window had been re- moved, leaving just room for a per- son to enter. That was at the rear of the premises, and the defendants had effected an entrance by going in through the cemetery and climbing a 10ft. post. Witness then went to Pontypridd, and a Pontypridd con- stable said Acting upon inform- ation received this morning I went to a refreshment house in Ponty- pridd, owned by Mr Bracchi. I there saw the prisoners spending money very freely. They had bought chocolates, sweets, cigarettes, etc. I took them into custody on suspicion of stealing money. I afterwards charged the prisoners with breaking and entering a lock-up shop in Aber- dare some time between 7.30 p.m. on June 11th and 8 a.m. on June 12th, and stealing £2 17s. 9d. Evans re- plied: 'It was not so much as that.' Jenkins said: 'We went to the churchyard, climbed up a post and got in.' Evans than said that there was a hole at the back of the cash- desk, and that he had worked at the shop for some time. P.C. Henebury then produced a variety of articles which were found on defendants. They included (on Evansl. 13s 6d in cash; 3 packets of cigarettes 6 packets of chocolates, and a box of matches. On Jenkins he found 15s. in cash, several slot checks, 4 packets of chocolates and 6 packets of cigarettes. Mr W. Thomas addressed the Bench on behalf of Jenkins, and said that this was his first offence. He asked the Bench to deal with him under the First Offenders' Act. Mr Thomas then called his client to give evidence. Jenkins said he lived in Hall He and Evans were proceeding to work together on the night of the 11th June. Evans suggested that they go back, that he knew of a place where they could get 6s. 6d. in- stead of the turn of work. They went back, and entered the premises about 11 p.m. It was Evans who went inside the shop, but witness was insidte the premises keeping watch. Jenkins added he had 15s 3d out of the proceeds. They hid the money and went home early in the morning to wash and dress. They afterwards went for the money and took the 9.5 train to Pontypridd. Clerk What did you do with your- selves all night? Jenkins: We walked about the town until it was time to go home. Evans, the other defendant, said that Jenkins had told him he had been in the shop on a previous occa- sion. Mr W. Thomas You were working with Trunkfield then?—Yes. Mr Thomas And did you tell your employer ?-No. The Stipendiary told Evans he had been up before on a similar charge, and next time he would be sent to prison. Evans' father said there was no parent who looked after his boy more than he did. Both boys were ordered to pay X.5 each. Park Cinema, Gadlys. For the last three nights this week the chief attraction is Trapped in the Mine." This is a picture that should appeal to a colliery district like this, and every miner ought to see it. There are numerous other films, humorous and otherwise, the whole making up a most successful programme. The star picture for next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be The Iron Man." This is an excit- ing detective story. In praising the technical merits of the film, ,we must not neglect its qualities as a drama, and we can give our opinions most candidly by saying that "The Iron Man" appears to us to be far ahead of the average detective film. Barn- et-Parker, despite his English name, is not altogether free of the little mannerisms of the, typical Continent- al film detective, but he has one great merit; he possesses the inevit- able briar pipe, but he does not in- sist in carrying it everywhere with him, and, moreover, the mannerisms supposed to be typical of the detec- tive are not in his case exaggerated until they become absurd. In plot, this film is unusually good and not too wildly improbable. The under- ground scenes are not the only good ones the detective's final ruse is a cleverly sprung surprise and the 'iron man' is a contrivance which ivill appeal irresistibly to lovers of sensation. The full story cannot be told here, out our readers may depend upon it "hat it is an extraordinarily good )ne.

A MASS MEETING of workmen em- ployed at the Dowlais-Cardiff Colhery was held on Thursday events at the Lesser Hall, under the pras. iency of Guardian W. C. Dyer, chairman of the local lodge of the Federation. A 1 ('60- lution re the banksmen's dispute was passed pledging support to theji and granting power to the Executive Coun- cil to further deal with the matter. Councillor Charles Maddox introduced a discussion regarding the approach to the station. Indignation was ex- t pressed because the property owners are not called upon to pay part of the expenses in connection with this, and a resolution was passed to the effect that the workmen's interests should be safe- guarded in the access to and from the colliery. The question of pit head baths was also under consideration, and it was resolved that Mr Alfred Onions and Mr Bruce Glasier be invited to a public meeting to be held shortly.

Aberdare Police Court.
moned for damaging a wall in Glan- cynon Terrace, Aberaman. Mr W. T. Howell prosecuted, and Mr Griffith Llewelyn defended. James Bick, butcher, Cardiff Road, Aberaman, stated that he received notice from the ground landlord to put the wall at 20 Glancynon Terrace, Aberaman, in proper condition. It cost 37s. Defendant was in the habit of climbing over the wall to make a short cut. The damage done was 5s. Mrs. Morris, living close to defend- ant, saw the defendant going over the wall on June 7th last. She told him, "Pve caught you fair and square." Mr Griffith Llewelyn at'^this point in- timated to the Bench that his defence would be that there was a public right- of-way, and if that were so, he sub- mitted that the Bench had no juris- diction in the case. Mrs. Helena Morgan, 181 Cardiff Road, stated that she had lived there since 1876, and the wall had been there all that time. People were not allowed to go over the wall. Catherine James, mother of defend- ant, stated that she lived at 20 Glan- cynon Terrace. Next door there was a gully, and the wall spoken of was put up by her husband and son. Witness and Mrs. Hooker put a lock on He door of the gully, but it was wrenched off. Wm. James, the defendant, stated that he left the house in the aft?"noon of June 7th. The wall he got over was 2 feet high, and he didn't knock any of it down. Fined Is. and ordered to pay 2s. damage and costs. Drunk and Disorderly. Walter Miller, in Victoria Square, Aberdare, and John Keating, in High Street, Hirwain. 10s. and costs each. A Lark and its Sequel. Frank Knight, Mortimer Thomas, Frank Bagley and Clifford Bruton were charged with assaulting Jacob Fine, Aberdare. Mr T. W. Griffiths prose- cuted, and Mr J. D. Thomas appeared for three of the defendants. Jacob Fine stated that Mr. W. U. Lewis, hairdresser, Canon Street, Aberdare, sent for him on May 22nd to repair some glass on the roof of his premises. When he commenced work the defendants threw lumps of hard white chalk at him. They also threw a mess at him and a lot of water. The stuff thrown at him came from the dental rooms of Mr D. Ernest Wil- liams. Mr Lewis went to ask who threw the water, but the names were refused. Ever since he had felt nerv- ous and couldn't perform his usual work. By Mr Thomas: He did not go to Mrs. Thomas, the mother of one of the defendants, to offer to settle the mat- ter out of court. He went to the house on another business. He had no idea which of the defendants had done the mischief. By Mr Griffiths: They were dodging back after throwing the missiles hence his inability to know who the offenders were. H. T. Masters, hairdresser in the em- ploy of Mr Lewis, said he was m the saloon on the day in question when a splash of water came down on a cus- tomer whom witness was shaving. Pieces of wax and plaster of Paris fol- lowed. He called out twice to the per- petrators to desist. Mr Fine came to witness in an agitated state and com- plained of what had been done. Frank Mears said that he was hav- ing-a shave at Mr. Lewis' on the day in question. He heard the sound of some hard substance falling on the roof, and afterwards some water came. Mr Fine was on the roof doing some work. Mr J. D. Thomas asked that the sum- monses against Knight and Bagley be dismissed, there being no evidence against them. Mortimer Thomas (15) an apprentice at the Dental Surgery, said that on the day in question he and the other de- fendants wore in the room. He dropped two pieces of glass and Bruton dropped some plaster and also water. He did not see Knight and Bagley do anything. Both were at work with their backs to witness. The Bench considered there was no case against Knight or Bagley, and they were discharged. Mr Thomas asked the Bench to deal leniently with the two boys. They had done the deed in a spirit of mischief and were now sorry for it. The Stipendiary said that it was a foolish act. Boys sho i!d not amuse themselves at the exp^ tse of an old ruan. The summonses would be dis- missed on the payment of costs and advocate's fee, and 21 each to Pine as compensation. Drunk. John Cork, drunk and disorderly in Abercwmboi, 10s. and costs. P.C.
