Made of German Silver springs, leather covered. Self-adjusting to any foot. Can be changed from one pair of shoes to another and can be worn with comfort by anyone. Women who do housework, or clerks in stores or offices, or anyone whose occupation requires them to do much standing or walking should buy a pair of"Foot-Enzers" today. You can not have restful feet until you do wear them. All sizes, for men and women. Price 7/6 per pair. Endorsed by Physicians-by People who wear them. W. U.

Mrs. James, prosecutor's wife, stated that she saw through the window de- fendant going from the run into his own garden. It was Sunday morning. By Mr W. T.

The defendant is an elderly woman and a cripple, and had to he accommodated with a seat. Mr. William Thomas defended. P.C. Bevan deposed that on Sunday morning, June 21st, he kept observa- tion on defendant's house in company with P.S. Griffiths, P.C. Evans, and P.C. Chugg. About 6.30 a.m. he saw Gomer Davise, defendant's son, leave the house and go along the Canal Bank and Duffryn liow. He appeared to he looking about. At 7 a.m. six men congregated on the Canal Bank, which is about 20 yards from the house. The men conversed for some time and two of them went to look at the window. Some 25 minutes after- wards Gomer Davies left the house and had a conversation with the man, and then returned to the house.

They also found a pint and a half bottle empty, with the smell of gin, two small bottles marked Irish whisky, two jugs containing the remains of beer, and one pot with the remains of beer. When spoken to de- fendant said: "I don't sell beer. Here's a breakfast." Witness told her she would be reported for selling intoxicating drink without a licence. Mr Thomas: You found no liquor there at all:" Witness: No, sir. Mr. Thomas: The house is on the corner of the street, and it is a place where people congregate? Witness: I do not deny it. I have only been in Cwmbach three and a half months. In further cross-examination witness said defendant carried on a small shop, I' and sold mineral waters. The total cost of the beer found was not more than 3s. P.S. Griffiths gave corroborative evi- dence, and said that when he read the warrant the defendant said: "Here's a breakfast," in Welsh, and tainted away. Cross-examined, P.S. Griffiths said they were keeping observation from a house within 80 yards of defendant's premises, l'hey did not intercept any of the men leaving the shop, as they wanted to leave their place of conceal- ment without being observed. Some of the men went back twice. P.C. Evans said that while the other officers were engaged in searching the house, Gomer Davies exclaimed that he would see them in hell before he had more drink in for them." Ann Davies, the defendant, said she kept a small shop, and many people entered on Sunday and made purchases. She purchased the half-a-gallon jar of beer on Saturday night as she was ex- pecting a visit from her two sons, who resided at Deri. Her sons came home every montli to give her some money. The other bottles of beer were pur- chased by her son, Gomer, for himself. She had been ill for some time, and she purchased the liquor for herself. She did not take a penny that Sunday for drink. Gomer Davies, son of the last wit- ness, stated that he was employed as a timberman's assistant, and worked fair- ly regujarly. The beer found m the house was purchased on Saturday even- ing, as they expected a visit from his two brothers. He paid two shillings for the beer, but drank two bottles on Saturday night and two bottles on Sun- day morning. He did not get up on Sunday morning until 7.45. Closely questioned by the Deputy Stipendiary the witness denied that anyone had entered the shop that morn- ing before Mrs. John and Peter Jen- kins, they two people found in the shop, when the police entered. He admitted saying he would have no more beer in for them, but he meant for his brothers. This concluded the case, and the I Deputy Stipendiary imposed a fine of £10 and costs.

She gave her a half sovereign, and when she demanded it back again she gave her two two- shilling pieces back. Prisoner admitted telling fortunes, but denied she was stealing the money. By the Deputy Stipendiary: How old are you?" Prosecutrix: "21, sir." Deputy Stipendiary: And did you be- lieve all this rot?
