Hough, Tryddyn Lodge, Tryddyn, against Mr Davies, of Tryddyn Village, to raoovet £3 10a. Od., rent of croft and damages caused to premises by the removal of timber. Defendant oounterclaimed 92, for oattle trespass. Me F. Llewellyn-Jones, Mold, who appeared for the plaintiff, briefly stated the grounds of the claim. His Honour: Do you admit it ?—Defendant: No. Why?—I took tile rent there on the 30th May, and he tuld me to go to the County Court and pay it. Never mind where you were to go. You took the rent on the 30th of May ?-Yes. The last tenant, he said, paid yearly, and I was to do the same. His Honom (to the plaintiff): That doea not hurt you ?-Plaintiff No but he is not telling the truth, His Honoar: Why not have paid the 30s. into Court, and have done with it. You only put in the aangainary expression ? Defendant: I don't know much of the law. His Honour You will learn it by degrees. The. plaintiff, in his statement, aaid he let the defendant a small croft last year, at 2s. 6d. a month rental, He had to complain of timber removed from some old unoccupied houses. He suspected the defendant of removing the timber. He went with Folice-oonatable Hughes to defendants place. They found tae timber. His Honoar; Are these houses in ruing ?— Defendant: Yes; for the laat 40 years. Why did you take the timber ? —I had orders to take the timber down. Mr F. Lleweilyn- Jonas (to plaintiff): Did you ever give him orders to taka the timber ?-No. I would rather give him £ 50 than take the timber down. Hia Honour: The defence is, you were acting under orders of the plaintiff ?-Yes. I took two loads to his plaoe. The ruotiah I had was not worth threepence. Plaintiff: I never gave orders. Defendant: Yes, he did; and told me not to come to him for compensation if anything happened while I took the timber down. Plaintiff; That man swears a raaa'a life away. Police- i-onstable Haghes said on the 19th March last, he went with the plaintiff to the defendant's place, and found some timber which plaintiff identified aa being from the octtages he owned, Edw. Peters, builder, Laeswood, said he estimated the damage to the premises by the removal of the timber at ;610. The cottages could be re-built; the walla were good. On the counter-claim, defendant said in May, last year, the plaintiff turned six head of cattle iato the crofts. By Mr Jones; He did not know that the cattle 1 belonged to George Hough, tha plaintiff's nephew. He denied that they were only ia the field one night. The cattle were for five nights in the field. They cleared one croft aDd damaged the other. The cattle belonged to one of the Houghs-he did not know which was which of them. His Honour It seems a itormin a teacup." George Hough, Frank Farm, said he pat the cattle in the croft for one night. He knew his nncle had let the small crofi to the defendant a year ago, but he never received money for it. His Honour: On the claim, I give verdict for plaintiff, 13; and I find for plaintiff on the counter- claim. (To the defendant) It you have any action, bring it against the last witness, but I should advise him to pay you something.—Costs were allowed. COAL iliARCEINGS HEAB MOLD, FAB&BB 8 CLAIM AGAINST PSOSPSGXQJES. This was an action brought by Frank Harst, Lower Farm, Tryddyn, against Cyril H. Dodd, mining engineer, Mold; D. C. Roberta, Mold and Capt. Davies, Mold, to recover j68, value of a heifer, killed through the negligence of the defendants.- Mr J. B. Maraton, Mold, waa for the plaintiff, and Mr T. M. Keene, Mold, defended. The opening statement was that on the Lower Farm, occupied by the plaintiff, there was an old adit level, driven years ago, during explorations for ooal. Late in December last, plaintiff was aekad by Mr Dodd and other people with him, for per- mission to see the entrance to the level. He gave permission, and some time afterwards, without farther permission, they went op the land, and opened out the level, excavating the face or mouth of t&e driving, 10 that Mr Dodd, a mining engineer, could get to the coal cropping up out of the land. The removal of the debris weakened the surface of the land, and one of the plaintiff's heifers, walking down the place to where the cattle watered, must have crashed through the top, and fallen into the trench made by the defendants' workmen, and was killed. The matter waa brought to the knowledge of the defendants, who admitted their liability, and said they would have to compecaate him for the losa of the heifer, Frank Hurst, Lower Farm, bora out the opening statement, and said he found the heifer lying dead in the cutting that had been made to open out the level. He wrote to Mr Dodd, informing him of the accident, and asking who was liable.

His Honour; That was something like looking the door when the horse is stolen. Plaintiff, continuing, said Capt. Davies made an offer of $4. He claimed XS. He bonght it at 92 5s., and kept the heifer for 18 months. Before the excavation, the inside of the level could be seen, but no entrance could be made. Mr Dodd made the remark had there been a six-foot seam of coal, he would have been only too pleased to pay for the heifer. He received a letter acknowledging the liabity, and subsequently had another letter in which they repudiated liability, but, without prejudice, they would ba glad to meet the plaintiff, acd in a further lettsr, regret was expressed that plaintiff had not accepted Capt. Davies. offer of St.-In reply to his Honour, plaintiff said the weight of the heifer bore down the ground. Had the place been shored up, the accident would not hava occurred. By Mr Keene: The ground above the level was eight or tenrfeet high, and in front of the adit level there was a small bank. The diameter of the level waa about 2ft. Sin. The bank was three or four feet high, which was removed to open out the entrance. Plana were submitted, from which it appeared that, the heifer fell down the natural alope, and not through the ovust of earth giving way into the level. J. R. R. MoLsnson Jones, civil engineer, ex- plained the plans he bad prepared, and said there was every indication of the orast having given way, by which the animal would fall into the trench over ten feet deep. He would not say the fall waa luffioient to kin the animal, but it was found dead at the bottom of the ditch. The slip had been caused by the opening of the level. It was evident that gnund had been removed to get to the level, and which had weakeeed the place. Thor. W. Dunn, Frank Farm, said he knew the cattle track to the water in tha brook.

The judgment oreditot's husband said the furni- ture belonged not to him but to his wife. There was a little dispute. The furniture was removed before tha execution was ssrvad, and they could not find out what had become of the furniture. His Honoue asked to see the summons, and remarkid "I shall not maka an order now. I will grauta newordsratMamonth. No oommitment." STMPATHETIC.

But wtien the English Sheriff, calling out the names of the gentlemen arriving on his jury came across this one, and found about nine "aps," he xot tired, and said, 11 Where co you live?"

THE CHAIRMAN" SENTENCED. The exploits of an expert burglar were related at the London, Sessions on Tuesday, when Alfred Harris, aged 60, described as a painter, was charged with attempting to break and enter the dwelling house of Mr. Frank Taylor, in Hamilton-road, Highbury. Mr. Slade Butler, prosecuting, said that the prisoner was found one night by a police officer attempting to force a back 'window of Mr. Taylor's house. A black mask concealed the lower part of his face, and he was without boots. He ran away, with the officer in pursuit, and, after climbing over several garden walls, was arrested. In his possession were such imple- ments as a pocket electric lamp, a chisel, pincers, a spanner, and a gimlet. Inspector Neil proved many convictions against the prisoner. "This arrest," continued the officer, "is regarded as one of the most satisfactory we have had in the district for & very long time." The prisoner, he said, com- mitted from two to three burglaries a night. After describing the implements found on the prisoner and the uses to which they were put, witness "The particular way in which hs colossi's these burglaries has earned for him the nsnae of The Chairman amongst the police officer of the district. He places a chair under the handle of the door of the room in which he is working, so that if anyone comes downstairs to the room he, has plenty of time to escape while the door is being forced. Mr. Wallace, K.C., sentenced the prisoner td three years' penal servitude.

"JOLLY LITTLE D'UTUR GIRL." Miss May Moore Dnprez, of Southampton- row, who is. known on the music-hall stage as the "Jolly Little Dutch Girl," had a judgment of £ 50 given against her by Mr. Jusfice Pick- ford on Tuesday in an action brought by the United Theatres, Limited. < The plaintiff company's case was the they had engaged Miss Duprez to appear at Aber- deen and Dundee in July and August, 1908, unless prevented by illness, and that if she were prevented by illness from taking up any of the dates she should supply them with a list of her subsequent vacant dates. Defendant had been prevented by illness from fulfilling some of these engagements, but she did not inform them of her vacant dates, or complete her engagements. It wm argued that one reason why defendant had not carried out her agreement was her in- creased value on the halls. Whereas she had engaged with plaintiffs at £ 20 a week she could later on command £100 a week. Mr. Justice Pickford held that in all proba- bility some substantial amount was lost by the plaintiffs by reason of defendant not fulfilling her engagement. A stay of execution was granted.

BALLOONISTS MUST PAY. A caM which may be quoted in years to come —when aeroplanes are as common as motor- ca,rs-as a leading one, was heard on Tuesday at the City of London Court. While Mr. Vereker Seymour, of Ovington- square, Brompton-road, was passing in a balloon over Priory-lane, Roehampton, the balloon descended rapidly, and the grappling iron broke several telephone wires. The Postmaster-General sued Mr. Seymour for 16s., the cost of repairing the damage to the wires, and alleged that Mr. Seymour had managed the balloon in a negligent manner. One witness who was called said Mr. Seymour had paid him -15 for damage to his conser- vatory. Judgment was given for the Postmaster- General for 16s. and costs.

VANDALISM AT A CASTLE. Extraordinary acts of wanton damage har,, been done at Cyfartlifa Castle since it was opened to the public on Saturday, and the general purposes committee of the Merthyr County Borough Council, at their meeting oa Tuesday, decided to institute proceedings against a large number of persons in connection with the vandalism. Plants and shrubs were, rooted up wholesale, and brass taps were stolen. A new outfit of gardeners' tools was thrown into the lake, and an attempt was made to open the sluices. Not content with ransacking the rooms of the castle, the vandals even stripped away lead from the roof. Cyfarthfa Castle, a comparatively modern building, was sold to the Merthyr Tydfil Corpo- ration by Mr. W. T. Crawshay for use by the public last summer.

STEAMBOATS AT AUCTION. Ten steamships belonging to ihe London County Council, which cost L6,500 each, were offered for sale at the Baltic Exchange on Tuesday, three only being sold. The boats were first put- up en bloc, but as the bidding stopped at L4,000 they were sub- mitted singly. Mr, Jacobs bought the Van- forugh for £ 990 and the Carlyle at the same price, and Mr. Stewart the Chaucer at £ 975. During the sale a Mr. Williams asked whether, now that the auctioneer had had a good try, the Council would accept his offer of £ 15,000 for the whole fleet, adding that the ratepayers would reap the benefit as, if he bought them, the steamers would run on the Thames.

BOMB IN BELFAST. Noticing a small jar on a window-sill of a 0 public-house on his beat in the Falls-road dis- trict of Belfast, Constable Burke picked it up, and was examining it when it exploded, injuring his face, hands, and one of his eyes so badly that he had to be taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital. The bomb-for bomb it was—consisted of a stone jar filled with gunpowder, with a fuse 6in. long attached. This was burning when the con- stable lifted the jar, and, igniting the powder, caused the explosion. Fragments of the jar were scattered in all directions, and a window of the police barracks opposite was broken. No reason is assigned for the outrage.

RELIGIOUS RIOTS, Religious party troubles which have been agitating Motherwell, near Glasgow, for several months past, culminated on Tuesday night in rioting. Whilst a Protestant meeting was being held in the Public Park it was invaded by Catholics, with whom those present at the meeting came into collision. The Catholics were driven off, and took refuge in houses near the park. The Protestants attacked the bouses and wrecked the windows and doors with stones. A baton charge was made by the police, and a score of men were injured. Several arrest.? were made, and many doctors were kept busy attending to the injured.

IMPAJLED ON HIS OWN LANCE. While practising tent-pegging for a display at the Horse Show, Corporal Newman, of the Royal Field Artillery, met his death in a re- markable manner at Aldershot. He raised the peg, and was swinging the lance over his head when it flew from his grasp. The butt embedded itself in the ground just in front of his galloping horsB, and tJA point falling towards him, he was imp;'h"}. on his own weapon. from iii's 2-:wman pulled the lance out, and died in rr-.de' arm s.

RHESYOAB. A SUMMBB CONCBBT.-The above is an attractive title, and it may safely be taken that tha programme produoed at the concert will prove 803 attractive in a mnsioal sensa as the title. The feature of the concert will be the quartette-the Maelor Party—organised by Mr R. Roberts. The recent eiiteddfodic successes of Mr Roberts is a certain criterion of his abilities as I a baritone vocalist, and the other members of the party are of like merit. It must be noted, in order to secure tickets that the concert takes place on Friday evening week, the 2nd July, and that the pcooeeds are ia aid of a case for the new organ at the Oharch. |

RATEPAYERS1 BURDENS. A case of much interest to ratepayers was before the magistrates at Acton, London, on Saturday. On a previous occasion when the defendant-a woman—was before the Court for non-payment of the poor-rate, the magis- trate (Mr. R. Clay) said he could not in the circumstances make an order to excuse her. The defendant—the tenant—is the owner of a cottage, and she suffers from paralysis. She sub-lets a room, but it is understood has no other income, and receives assistance from friends. For a long period she has been ex- cused her rates, the authorities being of opinion that it was cheaper than having to keep her. Mr. Clay now stated that as de- fendant was the owner of the property he did not see how she could be excused from payment of the rate on the ground of poverty, and he suggested that if the pro- perty—-which appeared to be freehold—was isold, it would buy an annuity which would support her. He had to deal with the case, in a judicial spirit, as many committal orders had been made against people who were penniless. As he and his colleague could 'not come to an agreement the case was adjourned. In another etise a defendant had a, mort- gage on a house, and he stated that if he paid h rates he could not pay the interest on his mortga.ge. Mr. Clay stated that if the de- fendant was excused his nates the Bench would be helping him to save money. An order was made for payment. -k__+-
