OUR LICENSING SESSION.
OUR LICENSING SESSION. THE Annual Licensing Session for the hundred of Dinas Powis, was held at the Barry Police Court on Thursday, but the result of the action of the magis- trates will have an abiding effect. At Pontypridd an object lesson has been pro- vided by the Rhiwsaeson ruins, inhabited only by rats, being granted a renewal of a n zn license, year by year, pending some specu- lative move by the holder, who will probably apply for its removal into a more populous neighbourhood in the busy Rhondda. Barry provides a lesson which aims at the same crying necessity for reform. It was evident by the attendance at the Session yesterday that the people of the town itself do not seek these license privileges, although their names have in some instances been attached as applicants, for a particular purpose. The majority of the justices, be- sides, live away from the town they dictate in an authoritative manner as to the number of licenses that should be granted they share in many commercial undertakings, and the success of these is all they care about. It is obvious that the welfare of the com- munity is of little concern to the Great Unpaid, seeing that they themselves are not eye-witnesses of their idiosyncracies and degradations the opinion of the people is, therefore, of little weight in the face of their infallibility as gentlemen elected for the administration of the law. The Court was filled with selfish men, who showed the ex- tent of their desire for monetary gain by employing means which would have, in a strict interpretation of the sense of the law, been nothing less than criminal, and these, be it remembered, strangers, to the town, as the rights of citizenship go. Are the people 0.. b to remain mute ngure.s of sacrifice upon the altar of Bumbledom ? The injustice of the whole proceedings ought to revolt against the very nature of men who are selected by the Lord Chancellor to do justice. Yet it is too great an ideal for them The affairs of Barry, from a moral point of view, are the affairs of the people and Voxpopuli, vox Dei! The need of Local Option could not be better demonstrated, or if not Local Option, then in the name of the town and the people within it, let's have some reform that will enable the people to prevent this inrush of greedy speculators from Cardiff, that place the instruments of torture and ruin of their sons and daughters at their very doors, and the while surveying the wreck they them- selves create, and all this time enjoy the happy seclusion of a residence at Penarth, every stone of which is carved out of the hearts of the people In the words of a real reformer we ask with sincerity How long? how long ?" A red revolution is the only means of purging the evil, and every voter should remember it when a Tory, bolstered by brewers, seeks the suffrages of working-men, in order to benefit (?) them, when they only intend to curse them TRADES UNIONISTS, and all lovers of freedom the world over, will rejoice at the brilliant victory which the quarrymen of Bethesda have just secured over their tyrannical and obstinate employer, Lord Penrhyn. The struggle be- tween master and man for the rights of combination had continued since October last, and the result has proved one of the greatest achievements in the history of Trades Unionism for many years past. One object lesson afforded by the strike is the fact that, without much sacrifice and anxiety, the workingmen of the country can never reach the ends at which they are aiming; and who can deny but that the brave-hearted quarrymen of Bethesda have provided noble examples in this respect. Lord Penrhyn endeavoured to aim a direct blow at one of the most fundamental principles of Penrhyn endeavoured to aim a direct blow at one of the most fundamental principles of Trades Unionism, but he has had to pay dearly for the spirit of independence and autocracy which he has displayed, and his ignominious defeat cannot but have the effect of sustaining and increasing the vigour of others who are fighting the battle of Trades Unionism in different parts of the country, and, at the same time, mean a most deadly blow to the organi- sations of the capitalist. THE ways of the Great Unpaid are oft-times mysterious, but two decisions given by Mr J. S. Bachelor and Mr Valentine Traves, at Barrv Dock Police-court on Monday, are quit'e incomprehensible. We have up to the present been ready to champion .impartiality of the local magistrates, but such iustances as those we wish to refer to make our faith weaker and incur grave doubt and suspicion. A woman nam"{1 Fdwards summoned another woman named Stuckey for assault, and, strange to say, Mr Handcock, solicitor to the contractors for the new dock, appeared to prosecute! The assault was said to have had some reference to the strike, but that was allowed to be bandied about, although not a tittle of proof was forth- coming. That was bad enough, surely, in a court where justice" is supposed to;be meted out, but when the complainant's statement that she was struck in the back and pushed against a lamp-post was unsupported, and three wit- nesses called for the defence proved conclusively that a drunken man bad committed the assault, yet defendant was fined, and this, although she was undefended. This was a poor woman. ihen came a summons against a gentleman named Clarke, from Cardiff, who sent a letter co tne Bench, and for an offence again,t the bye-laws, was fined If., while others who were not" gentlemen," and who were courteous and sufficiently respectful to the law to attend, were fined five and ten times that amount. The instance is too glaring to be passed over, and we give it in all the effect and truthfulness afforded at the court itself, yet we are told all classes appear equal in the eyes of the law:
SNAP SHOTS.
SNAP SHOTS. Progressive Barry. Tenders are now being iuvited for the carrying out of certain alterations and additions to Barry Intermediate School. Football is again upon us, and the Barry District Association Football Club will hold its first practice match to-morrow (Saturday) at the Witchill Ground, Cadoxton. A treat in store. Dr Gurnos Jones, Pyle, ha8 been secured to deliver a lecture at an early date at Tabernacle Welsh Congregational Chapel, Barry Dock. "There goes the 'mortar' car" remarked one of Barry's innocent citizens last Saturday as he saw the motor car connected with the circus passing down Holton-road. Next to Klondyke, Barry is the best place for speculators, judging by the coming and going of magistrates, brewers (in many cases both synony- mous terms), brewers' agents, and others interested in securing licences this week. Both seek gold in quarts, with only the z of a difference. In connection with his campaign at Barry, Mr E. Tennyson Smith wishes to state that the temark attributed to him denunciatory of persons other than abstainers being members of Christian churches was incorrect. What he maintains is that liquor- sellers should not be allowed to become members. There never was a paper yet that did not omit something. The names of Councillor and Mrs Paterson should have appeared among those that we observed at Mrs 1). T. Alexander's At Home" in connection with Dinas Powis Flower Show on Wednesday in last week. We are sorry for the omission. One of the candidates for the post of clerk of works of the Barry outfall sewer, in enumerating his qualifications, stated that he was very keen in the detection of scamping," so generally resorted to by contractors. Surely, a smart man, and one A-lio deserves to get Ul, especially with the contractors. Beer is evidently a sufficient attraction without beautiful or comfortable surioundings. At Cadox- ton a club has been started in houses where there was no plastering on the roof of the passage, 110 w,c's., no drains, or water serviees, in fact, simply four walls, itli a dcor wide enough for the memfers to pass out in the dark hours of the night. Captain William Forrest, son of Colonel Forrest, and nephew of Mr Robert Forrest, of St. Pagan's, who is shortly to be married to Miss Marie Lewis, third daughter of Sir William Thomas Lewis, Burt., is the deputy agent for Lord Windsor's Glamorgan and Shropshire estates, and is also surveyor to the Barry and Vale of Glamorgan Railways. Nothing could have been more complimentary or correct ithout desiring to be egotistical—than the estimate formed cf the influence exerted by the HERALD week by week in local matters than the many references made quite spontaneously to the paper by Mr Tennyson Smith in the course of his mission this week. Verily, virtue and merit hath its reward. The third annual show of the Barry Poultry Society will take place at the Cadoxton Market Hall on December 8th next, and an invitation is extended by the committee to all who intend becoming rrembers to submit their names for nomination by the next meeting, to be held on September 13th. Mr T. Ewbank, Cadoxton, is the hon. secretary. The welfare of the Primrose dames is evidently more urgent than the state of agriculture at the present time according to the action of Major Wyndham-Quin, M.P., who, on Wednesday last, preferred attending a meeting at Pencoed to being present at one in which the cottager class was paramount. You may wash a Tory and comb a Tory, still a Tory can be naught else but a Tory The price of a copy of last week's issue of the BARRY HERALD would provide a picnic for tht comps, seeing that there is but a single copy on the premises, and that is to be used for reference purposes. The people of the district have risen to a proper sense of the valuable, as the sale of oui paper—rapidly advancing week by week-amply demonstrates, and advertisers and readers are alike satisfied, nay pleased, with our efforts. Our friend Knock-'Em," as his name indicates, is nothing if not surprising. We hope the following parody has not cost any midnight oil, but it smells strongly. However, let him come with his charac- teristic rush THE LAY OF THE LAST LICENSE-SEEKER. The beer was strong, the speaker bold, Our license seeker was stolidly cold His purple cheeks and whiskers grey Seemed to have whiskied many a day The license—sole remaining joy- To gain it would all gold employ The best of all the sports was he To join in licensing chivalry, For well a day his plans were spread His rich intentions in his head. But now, harrassed and oppressed He wished the temperance folk at rest. No more on prancing justices borne, He ceased to carol till early dawn No longer courted and caressed He could not make them a welcome guest, No more to spend a tuneful lay, Because he's oppressed on Licensing Day. The Temperance evidence is rather too strong, He could net and would not endure it long, And like a notorious regicide He ended his life in suicide. "AMEN."
BARRY BAKERS AND THE PRICE…
BARRY BAKERS AND THE PRICE OF BREAD. AN INCREASE OF ONE PENNY. The Master Bakers' Association of the Barry district held a meeting at the Windsor Hotel, Barry Dock, on Tuesday evening, under the presi- dency of Mr J. Spickett, for the purpose of con- sidering the question of the necessity of increasing the price of bread owing to the greatly increased price of flour. It was unanimously decided to raise the price of a quartern loaf to 6d from 5d, and flour to 2s lOd for" fiues" and 3s for "supers." The new prices will come into operation on Monday next.
RE-OPENING OF LLANTRITHYDI…
RE-OPENING OF LLANTRITHYD CHURCH. In connection with Llantrithyd Church, near Cow briflge, re-opening services took place on Wed- nesday, and were largely attended. Amongst the clergy who took part were the Revs Jackson, Llangynwyd Morris, Flemingstone E Morgan, Penmark and H. J. Humphreys, Langan. The Rev S. H. Nicholl, Llandough, preached the ser- mon. The new rector, the Rev T. Cynon Davies (Cowbridge), took no part whatever in the service, and the fact of his not being asked to do so was the subject of general remaik. After the Bishop of Llandaff had consecrated the altar and pulpit, a public luncheon was held in the schoolroom.

BARRY LICENSING SESSIONS.
BARRY LICENSING SESSIONS. GREAT DISPLAY OF BRAYING BREWERS. THE COURT HOUSE CROWDED. LEGAL FRATERNITY IN FORCE. SPECIAL DESCRIPTIVE REPORT. ALL THURSDAY'S LICENSES REFUSED. [BY OUR OWN REPORTER] It is rarely, if ever, that the Barry Dock C lIlt- house has been surrounded by such a crowd as that seen around its portals over half-an-hour before the arrival of the time for opening on Thursday mo n- ing. There was an array of legal talent lawyers, lawyer's clerks, architects, architect's assistants, bearing prodigious rolls of plans and specifications, title deeds, dark deeds, not to mention brewers, estate agents, brewers' agents, publicans, and the numberless temperance sinners that are praying, and have earnestly prayed, that the licenses to be applied for shall not be granted. The police ar- rangements were such that only those having business were allowed within the court, but a few managed, under a pretence of this character, to force themselves into a corner, from which the police would find considerable difficulty in ex- tricating them. The members of the bar were the first to arrive, and at eleven o'clock the interior of the building was uncomfortably filled. The solicitors' table was strewn with documents, plans, and books, and around this a seat could not be found for all the members. Mr Benson, who had pro- vided himself with a comfortable place right opposite the Bench, suggesting to Mr Parsons, a fellow-barrister, who was a late comer, that he should seat himself in the prisoners' dock, where he would be safe within the fortress. Miss Jenner was there, of course, although it was not probable that the w ill of the late Captain Jenner would be brought up, for in front was nothing but the old worn-out brief 1)!ig that has seen the inside of the House of Lords, amongst other places, in its interesting itinery. The legal fraternity repre- sented were :Mr Arthur Lewis, Mr Denmar. Benson, Mr Rhys Williams, Mr Paisons, Mr Westyr Evans, Mr Sankey. all members of the Bar; Messrs Henry Cousins, W H Lewis (Barry), A Jackson, J H Jones, F P Jones-Lloyd, W H Ii gledew, and R O Jenkins. An old warrior ill the temperance cause, in the person of the Rev W I Morris, Pontypridd, accompanied by one of his sturdy lieutenants (Alderman Jones-Griffiths), ap- peared early on the scene, with Mr Jenkin Meredith, and among those in court we noticed the esteemed parent of Alderman J C Meggitt, who was, by the way, one of the first of the justices to arrive Mr William Thomas, The Ilayes, Sully the" Bishop of Barry," otherwise our genial and worthy Canon Allen; Revs J C Honey. L Ton Evans, W H Pritchard, T Pandy John, W Tibl ott, J Tertius Phillips (of the United Kingdom Al- liance), Mr J Panniers (secretary of the local united temperance movement), promoted in opposition to the grant of any new licenses Cap- tain Muirell, Messrs W C Howe, Rev H Morgan, vicar of Penmark L Williams, Brynllys Edward Hughes, Cadoxton J Boucher (Dinas Powis) Rev Walter Daniel, Mr W BI-iiney, Alderman Aaron Davies, Pontlottyn Mr J E Levers, Mr W Summers, Cadoxton Rev Morris Isaac, Rev Wm Williams, Mr 1) T Alexander, Councillor White, and Councillor Hughes. The magistrates on the bench were Mr J S Batchelor (chairman), Mr 0 H Jones, Major- General Lee, Mr John Cory, Mr T R Thompson, Alderman J C Meggitt, Mr L Wood, Colonel Guthrie, Mr J Lowdon, Mr W Thomas, Dr Treharne, Colonel Thornley, and Mr R Bevan. Amongst the general public also present were— Councillors D Morgan and W. Saunders, Messrs E Williams, L W Jones, Dr Sixsmith, G Willett, G F Willett, Gerald R Coultas, W E Thompson, C Howe, J A Owen, W C Howe, T W Lewis, J Meredith, J Panniers, J D Davies, I T Dando, E Rees, &c. THE DAY'S PROGRAMME. The applications to be made at the court were as follows HOUSE. APPLICANT.

Miss Gertrude Jenner objected at the outset to the license of the Wenvoe Arms Hotel at Wenvoe being renewed, on the ground that the landlord (Mr Noah Jenkins) was in the habit of harbouring a drunkard upon his premises. Miss Jenner pro- posed to read a mass of correspondence between herself and the Chief-constable and others respect- ing the house, and was abruptly stopped by the Chairman, who said that the Bench would have more time to listen to her objection at the adjourned session, and the granting of the license was conse- quently deferred. THE BLACK LIST. Superintendent Giddings did not formally object to any existing licences, and these were all granted. ADDITIONS TO CCLLEY'S HOTEL. Mr J. J. Handcock produced a plan of proposed alterations to the Barry Dock Hotel, Barry Dock, ann tht-se, having been examined by the Bench, were formally approved and accepted. THE GLEBE HOTEL, CADOXTON MOORS. Mr Joseph Henry Jones, solicitor, Cardiff, appeared on behalf of Thomas Hopkins, the present holder of the licence of the Bassett Arms Hotel, for a license for premises erected and nearly completed at Cadoxton Moors. Mr George David appeared to oppose on behalf of the owner of the Wenvoe Arms Hotel, and Mr Arthur Lewis, B.A.L., opposed on hehalf of Councillor Saunders, as a rival applicant for the Station Hotel, near Spring- street. Mr Roberts, of the firm of Lloyd George, Roberts, and George, solicitors, London, appeared on behalf of the temperance party to oppose. The notices having been formally proved by Mr R. Owen, a clerk in the employ of Mr F. P. Jones- Lloyd, solicitor, Mr Joues, in his opening remarks, referred to the fact that this hcuo would supply the population already existing on the south side of the Barry Railway, which was about 2,000 persons. The population of the whole of the town was, according to the Medical Officer of Health's statistics, 26,975 in 1896 and seeing that there were thirteen public- houses in the district, this would give 1,200 for each house, which was proportionately large. There were alrtady three flourishing clubs in the locality, and the object of the hotel was to supply the district. Mr Tudor Thornley, architect, pro- duced the plans, and proved that the hotel was about 550 yards distant from the Wenvoe Arrrs Hotel. There were 272 houses in the vicinity, and with one or two exceptions, these were all teiianted. Mr Thomas Hopkins, the applicant, suffered a severe cross-examination at the hands of Mr Roberts, and elicited the fact that the owners of the house (Messrs Handcock, the brewers) would come into possession of the Bassett Arms Hotel in twelve months' time. — Mr George Willett, auctioneer, was called to prove the number of houses, and said he considered the approach to the Wenvoe Arms Hotel very undesirable.—Mr G Barstow and Mr J A Owen gave evidence of the prospective increase, and the counsel and advocate having addressed the justices, Mr J E Levers and the Rev Wm. Williams gave evidence in opposition the latter stating thit .Ile considered, as there was a new school about to be built there, the new hotel would have a demoralising effect upon the children. He also stated that the Barry Company had ob- tained powers to carry their railway over the site occupied by Churchill-terrace, and 32 houses would be done away with. The Benfih retired to consider the question whether they would consider the applications en bloc or otherwise, and they decided to hear the three applications from this locality before coming to a decision upon either. NEW DOCK HOTEL, CADOXTON. Mr Arthur Lewis, B.L., applied on behalf of Mr Thomas John, late of the Swan Inn, Wellington- street, Cardiff, for a license for the New Dock Hotel, Cardiff-road, Cadoxton. Mr Arthur Lewis asked the Bench to give pre- ference to a house where the main tratfic could be accommodated. The present house was owued by Messrs Brain and Co, and had been built several years. It had cost about £ 3,000, and would pro- vide accommodation for the same population as that allocated to the Glebe Hotel, but being situate on the main roadway it was in a better position. Applicant, when examined, said he had lived in the house under Messrs Brain and Co for 2. years rent free, although it was stipulated in his agree- meet that he should pay £100 per annum.—Mr G'orge Thomas, architect and surveyor, proved that L; (,, Wuivoe Ariiis Hotel, as the nearest cM.-tn-g i.ouse, was 600 yards away. Since last y> at were 59 houses completed in the nun" diaU; n ighbourhood.—A witness named F Lt-omb s the amount of traffic over the road troui the 9th to the 14th August from eight o'clock ill the morning until the same hour at night, I)t), ilig u period there passed along the roadway 985 ti-ai, 111 cairiages, containing 1,922 occupants, !i" 1 .at t, and wagons, containing 1,818 occupants, tld btsides these there were 1,354 pedestrians, 124 cyclists, and 101 horsemen.—Mr Jones pro- ts eel against provision being made simpiy for tiatfic, and not for the inhabitants. STATION HOTEL, CADOXTON. Councillor William Saunders, a member of the bauy U rLan District Council, applied for a license inrcspect of a building now approaching completion situate at the corner of Spring-street and Cardiff. road. Mr Arthur Lewis appeared on b half of the applicant, who endeavoured to prove the notices. Mr W. Denman Benson opposed thes. as being informal, inasmuch as a full license had been applied for when the building was not complete In such case a pruVldunal grant should have been applied for and not a full license. Mr George David also supported the objection, and said there was no power in the Licensing Act that would permit of its being amended.—Mr Arthur Lewis submitted that there was no statutory form of notice except for a full license to retail except where the premises were complete, and this notice set out the fact that the house was now in course of erection. Ultimately Mr Lewis desired that the Bench should hear evi- dence as to the state of the house, and allow the notice to be amended, in order to appear and renew the application at the adjourned sessions at Peuarth. -Ultin)atf,ly the Bench decided to hear the appli- cation.-Mr E. T. Richards, architect, produced the p'atis of the house, aud said it would coj-t about £ 4,400 This application was also opposed by Mr J. H. Jones, for the owner of the Glebe Hotel Mr George David, for the owners of the Wenvoe Arms and Mr Roberts for two residents. The Bench retired to consider their decision, and Mr Batchelor announced that THE THREE APPLICATIONS HAD BEEN REFUSED. PALMERSTOWN HOTEL. Mr Albert Chappell made an application for a provisional grant of a license in respect of the Palmerstown Hotel, proposed to be (rected at Palmerstown. Mr Joseph Henry Jones, Mr F P Jones-Lloyd, and Mr Rohel ts appeared to oppose the application on behalf of several resielents in the locality. Mr J Sankey, who repre- sented the applicant, stated that the district was, owing to being cut off hy the Bariy Railway, absolutely peculiar to itself, and there was at the present time no hotel at the place. The applicant gave evidence, and admitted that in Palmerstown there were only 36 houses, but within a radius sketched out they hoped to serve at bast 105 houses, and a population of between 600 and 700. Mr Joseph Henry Jones applied on oehalf of Mr W Male Thomas for a provisioual grant of a license to be called by the same name, the Palmerstown Hotel, but he did not call any evidence, considering that the testimony afforded iu the first application would be applicable to that case also. The Bench retired to consider their decision, but on returning to court Mr Batchelor announced that both these licences had also beeu refused. The proceedings were theu adjourned until the following day.
A MONOTONOUS PROLONGATION.
A MONOTONOUS PROLONGATION. RUMOURED IMPORTATION OF FREE LABOURERS. BUILDING HUTS FOR THEIR ACCOMMO- DATION AT THE DOCK WORKS. STRIKERS ON THE ALERT. Everyone agrees that the Barry Navvies' strike is now growing monotonous, and that in face oi the great loss to the district and the amount of anxiety and suffering which hundreds have undergone, it is full time a settlement was arrived at one way or another. But employers and employed still con- tinue to maintain a determined obstinacy, and the idea that t ither side will give in within a short time is very remote indeed.
A LITTLE EXCITEMENT.
A LITTLE EXCITEMENT. On Tuesday evening the monotony of the struggle was somewhat relieved, when it was freely rumoured that Messrs Price and Wills intended importing" free" labour into the district the same night, the truth of this assertion being heightened by the fact that it was well known that for several days past preparations have been going on for lodging a number of men on the A-orkl- several huts having been built for that purpose which have been furnished in a suitable manner It was also stated that a special train conveyed over the London and North-Western Railway would reach Cardiff in the evening and be trans- ferred to the Barry Railway. The strikers were on the alert throughout the evening. A handbill has been prepared by the Strike Committee for the purpose of circulating copies amongst the men on their arrival, setting forth that it had "been brought to their notice that Messrs Price and Wills have sent blackleg agents into different parts of tne country to entice workmen into the Barry district to go to work 011 the new docks where a great strike of navvies and labourers' is still pending. If any workmen have been brought into the district by false statements that there is no strike and that the strike is settled, we hope they will act as men, and march to the Strike Com- mittee-room in Vere-street, Cadoxton, where pro- vision will be made to send them to districts where work can be found and where they will uot be injuring the interests of their fellow-workmen, who are struggling to secure a living wage." The hand- bill concludes with the following appeal "Stand shoulder to shoulder with us, and refuse to be made the tools of unscrupulous employers." Up to the present, however, it has transpired that the rumour was unfounded, but the strikers have increased their picketting strength, and a sharp look-out is kept upon all the movements of the contractors.
IPROTEST BY MR WARD.
PROTEST BY MR WARD. Mr John Ward, the secretary of the Navvies, Union, at a meeting of the navvies held on Cadoxton Moors, commented very strongly upon th, action of the magistrates at the Police Court in convicting a woman for assault when prosecutrix's statement remained absolutely unsupported, while defendant called three witnesses who, he said, clearly proved h r innocence. The Bench, he thought, inflir-itwi the spirit in which they considered the case when they asked each of the witnesses for the defence as they appeared in the box whether their husdands were on strike, and this more than anvd,1 1. appeared to influence their decision C S6
