Ton-Pentpe Police Court. Monday.—Before the Stipendiary (Mr. D. Lleuter Thomas), Alderman Richard Lewis, Alderman E. H. Davies, Alderman Wm. Morgan, Messrs. Enoch Davies, J. D. Williams, D. W. Davies and W. T. Jones. LABOURER CHARGED WITH STREET BETTING. Wm. John Clifford, labourer, Treorchy, was charged with frequenting and Joiter- ing at Treorchy for the purposes of street betting. Mr. James Phillips, solicitor, Pontypridd, appeared to defend. P.O. Phillips deposed to watching defen- dant's movements in Bute and High Street, Treorchy, on the 22nd ult. He first saw defendant near the Abergorchy gates, where he was approached by two men. Defendant consulted a paper, and one of the men afterwards accompanied him as far as the Cardiff Arms Hotel. Here again he was approached by a man, and after consulting a paper, he entered something in a book. Some time later, he went down as far as the Post Office, accompanied by one of the men, who handed him something which he put into his trousers pocket. He then went into the Post Office, and witness followed as Uiittorcl was in the act or sealing, a Letter. When told that he would be arrested on a charge of street betting, defendant denied having slips upon him. Reminded that he had been watched, he admitted taking a shilling from a man who was standing outside. In answer to the charge at the Police Station, defendant said that he never received any bets. He made bets himself, but took none from others. As the result of a search, two shillings, a copy of the "Racing Judge," two racing guides, turf commission agents' rules, accounts with turf agents, and a letter of thanks from a Cardiff bookie for introducing his friends to the busi- ness, were found upon him. P.C. Case corroborated. Mr. Phillips said that the. evidence was not strong enough to show that the man was in the street for the purpose of frequenting and loitering. His Worship said that he was prepared to accept one occasion as evidence of loitering. Mr. Phillips said that defendant was a hardworking man, and borrowed a shilling from a man to pay for his grocery. It was true he was sending a bet on his own account to Cardiff, but that was not street betting. Defendant, on oath, admitted that he did some betting on his account with Mr. Thomas, Clare Road, Cardiff. He denied, however, that he took any slips or money for the purposes of betting for others. The Stipendiary said he was satisfied that the case had been proved so far as loitering was concerned, but there was nothing to show that it had been long continued. The Bench would thereupon impose a light fine of 20s. CHRISTMAS TEMPTATIONS. The adjourned case of Mary Bees, charged with neglecting her children, was brought up for decision. Inspector Thomas, N.S.P.C.C., said defendant's conduct had been satisfactory since the hearing of the case, but in view of the near approach of Christmas, he suggested that the Bench should further adjourn the case for a, month. Alderman E. H. Davies: I think that is a wise suggestion, and we will adopt it. The case was thereupon again adjourned for a month. PATERNITY ARREARS. John Wm. Owen, Cwmparc, was brought up in custody on a warrant for arrears in respect of a paternity order of 38. 6d. obtained by Catherine Elizabeth Meredith (single) on 28th June last. The. arrears amounted to El 10s., and 6s. warrant. Defendant expressed his readiness to pay the arrears, and signed a note for half the sum. The case was adjourned for a month. A MEAN OFFENCE. James Jenkins, collier, employed at the Glamorgan Colliery. Llwynypia, was charged with attempting to obtain money by false pretences by marking a tram belonging to another workman. Mr. W. Kenshole prosecuted for the Company, and Mr. James Phillips appeared for the, defendant. Thomas Morgan, collier, said that on Friday, 12th November, he sent out three trams of coal. That afternoon, at the end of the shift, he discovered that his number had been rubbed off one of the trams and defendant's number substi- tuted in its place. He failed to see defen- dant that evening, and had a conver- sation with the checkweigher. The fol- lowing morning he went to defendant's stall, and spoke to him about the affair. Defendant said that lie had made a mis- take, and would fill another in its place for witness. As a matter of fact, defeiir- dant did fill another tram in its place. Thomas Ayton Jones, checkweigher, gave corroborative evidence. Mr. Phillips submitted for the defence that there was no evidence of felonious intent. Defendant had made a mistake owing to the tram being badly marked, and when his attention was drawn to the fact that he had marked another per- son's tram, he filled another for Morgan in its place. Ö The Bench held that the case had been proved. Defendant perhaps had suc- cumbed to sudden temptation, but the action was at the same time a very mean one. A fine of E2 was imposed.

Porth Police lov% Court. Thursday.—Before the Stipendiary (Mr. D. Lleufer Thomas), Dr. T. W. Parry, and Messrs. Wm. Evans and David Thomas. A RARE CHARGE. John Matthews, collier, Wattstown, was summoned by John Kane, manager of the Wattstown Colliery, for misrepre- senting the age of his boy. Mr. Prosser (Messrs. Kenshole, Aberdare) appeared for the prosecution. John Kane said that he was the mana- ger at the Wattstown Colliery, and on the 14th of September defendant's son was brought to him by an uncle, named Richard Powell, who asked for a job for the boy on the colliery. Upon being asked the boy's age, the uncle produced the birth certivcate and said that the boy was 13. Witness examined the certi- ficate, which was very torn and rumpled, and saw that the date of birth had been torn out, and the date that the certifi- cate had been raised altered. Not being satisfied with the state of the. certificate, he told the boy's uncle that the father. would have to come to hiri before he would employ the boy. The next day, defendant came, and said that the. boy was 13 on 13th January last, and that he was born in 1896. He took defen- dant's word, and employed the boy, but subsequently sent to the Registrar of Births concerning the boy's age, and found that he was only 12. By employ- ing this boy, he (witness) was liable to a penalty of £ 20. David Thomas, who acted as booking clerk at the colliery at the time, corro- borated. A ine of L2 and costs was imposed. DESERTION. Charlotte John, Penygraig, summoned her husband, Joseph John. for desertion. Mr. A. T. James (Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, Nicholas, and James, Pontypridd) ap- peared for the defendant. Complainant said she had been mar- ried since 1894, and had one child. On November 20th her husband left her, and said that he wou]d have nothing more to do with her or her child. He had paid her nothing since. The case was adjourned for a fortnight for settlement. A LAME EXCUSE. Moses Griffiths and his son. of Mardy, were charged with stealing coal from the tip of Mardy Colliery, the property of Messrs. D. Davis and Sons. Upon being charged, Moses Griffiths said that the last load of coal was so bad, that lie thought he would go and take a bit more. Moses Griffiths was fined £1, and the boy discharged. William Whatley, Trehafod. was fined 10s. for stealing coal from the Trehafod Colliery tip. INEBRIATES. Charles Phillips, Mardy, 10s. Richard Davies, Mardy, 10s. William James, Tylorstown, 15s.

Conservative Candidate's Queep Gospel. Mr. Harold Lloyd, the Conservative candidate for the Rhondda at the next General Election, addressed a meeting at the Opera House, Treherbert, on Wednes- day evening of last week. Mr. Glass, who presided, referring to the action of the House of Lords in rejecting the Budget, said that that Insti- tution safeguarded the interests of the oppressed against the oppressors. Many present were members of the. Miners' Federation and would remember the decision of the Upper House as to the Parliamentary levy extorted from Conser- vative members. Mr. Lloyd said that all he asked for was a respectful hearing, such as had been accorded to him at all meetings he had addressed in the Rhondda. During, the. past few months they had heard a great deal of the Budget. His opinion was that the people of this country had been taxed enough already, and he would like to give those in other countries a chance to bear a portion of the burden. Mr. McKenna had made a statement that out of the sixteen millions required, twelve millions would have to be -aid by the working classes—the poof members of the. community. In the forthcoming election it was for these members to decide whether the Budget was proper or not. Mr. Philip Snowden, the Social- ist, had written a book pointing out that the working man in the long run had to suffer from the. imposition of death duties, income-tax royalties in the coal industry, and similar imposts. The poorest man was singled out to pay the taxes proposed by the Budget, and this had been practically admitted by mem- bers of the Government. He appealed to the electorate to support him on the ground that a tax should be levied on imported manufactured goods, and favouring a policy of tariff retaliation on foreign countries where necessary, a pre- ference in duties on Colonial produce, and a revision of the food taxes.

CoSIossal Impertinence. Speaking on the Budget at Cwmparc on Thursday evening, Mr. Lloyd said that a large number were under the impression that the extra taxation would be paid by the rich man, and the poor man go free. That was a great mistake. The tax which the rich paid would by degrees go from one grade of society to the other, until it reached the working man, who would eventually have to be the pay- master. Vitcor Grayson, Ben Tillett, and other Socialistic leaders had asserted that the Budget was an impudent fraud on the public. He (the speaker) did not hesitate to say there was nothing in the Budget to benefit the worikng man in any way. We had at the end of the year one million pauperis, and, as the late re- spected Prime Minister had said, there were in the United Kingdom thirteen millions of people on the verge of star- vation, living from hand to mouth. He would say that the present Government, individually, were actuated by high pur- poses, but by their action collectively had caused a great deal of misery. Referring to Mr. Brace's statement that it was a shame that the Rhondda seat should be contested, he thought that the same sug- oestion might apply to other places. The sitting member for South Glamorgan asked him where he got his money from to conduct the contest. He would not tell him but would go so far as to say it would not be with money compulsorily extracted from anyone in the constituency, and if returned he would be able to keep himself in Parliament (applause). He was not the tool of peers or brewers, and he considered that it was colossal im- pertinence to ask a man how he paid his way (cheers). There were many assisting his candidature who were members of the Trades Union of which Mr. Brace him- self was so distinguished an ornament.

Guard Against Winter Chills. PEPS THE GREAT LUNG & THROAT PROTECTOR. Cold weather is a severe tax upon most neonle, particularly the aged and ailing. The result is seen in an increased death- rate, due chiefly to pleurisy, pneumonia, and bronchitis, which alwavs attack the weak spot in the throat and chest. Hence it is wisdom on everyone's part to pro- I I tect themselves against the attacks of the cold-germ by the daily breathing in of Peps fumes from a Peps tiblet-tl-ie wonderful medicine that is conveyed through the throat and bronchial tubes direct to the lungs. With advancing age the lungs and throat I' are bound to lose some of their vitality, on which the cold weather puts a further tax. Hence the number of serious ill- nesses that arise from a simple cough, or an attack of hoarseness, or a little but neglected tightness of the chest. In Peps, however, the frailest invalids and the most aged have, an ideal safeguard and protector. As a Peps tablet dissolves in the mouth, rare medicinal essences are released in the form of a vapour which is breathed direct into the breathing organs. In thic, ;way any soreness of the throat is at once soothed, inflammation allayed, and the delicate membrane lining, torn by the strain of constant coughing, is healed and strengthened. The thick phlegm clogging the bronchial tubes and making breathing difficult and rasping is loosened and ex- pelled, and thus the air-oaseages are cleared and the vitality of every part of the lungs, throat, and chest restored to the highest pitch. It is absolutely impossible for oily emulsions and liquid mixtures that are swallowed into the stomach to benefit the breathing organs. There is no pas- sage at all from the stomach to the lungs. Air is the natural food of the breathing organs hence it follows that a medicine, to benefit the throat and lungs, must be in the form of air, too. Peps are the unique remedy that science has lately discovered to fill this great need. Moreover, Pens accomplish the wonderful cures to their credit without the aid of opium, morphia or any other of the harmful drugs employed in most cough mixtures. Peps are sold by chemists at l/H or 2/9 a box. Direct at same nrices from the Peps Co., Carlton Hill, Leeds. Note that each box bears the guarantee title, Peps, and that the tablets are encased in silver wrapping and also embossed with the name. Peps.
