THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT CADOXTON. INQUEST ON A HEAVY OPIUM TAKER. Mr E. Bernard Reece, the district coroner, held an inquest on Monday at the Police-station, Cadoxton, on the body of Henry Otto Heyman, ships' steward, aged 26, and a native of Germany, whose death, under strange circum- stances, took place on Saturday morning last. —Miss Annie Davies, residing with her parents at School House, Cadoxton, was the first wit- nella called, and deposed that she had known decased about two years, and was engaged to be married to him. He was employed on the s.s. Warren, a Liverpool liner, as a ships' steward. Witness had refused to have anything to do with deceased, unless he consented to make known his antecedents. She had asked him if be would do that nine months ago, and had said she would give him time to think the matter over and decide. On the occasion of bis last visit, witness had again asked him to tell her something more of himself and family, but he refused, and she, therefore, told him she would have nothing more to do with him, when he endeavoured to get her to renew the engage- ment. Witness last saw deceased on the Friday evening previously, and he then threatened to poison himself in consequence of her breaking the engagement. Witness believed that the deceased bad had some trouble with regard to patients which, he alleged, other people were getting the benefit of in New York, and thit he pondered a great deal. He had also said that he wished she were dead. On the night before his death decaaed came to witness' house at a late hour, and said he was going away, and wished to say good-bye. Periodically he had stint her £ 3 19s 8d a month to save for him, and when he returned home she gave him JbxS of the money thns saved.—MrsMargaret Davies, wife of Mr Evan Davies, lime and stone merchant, Cadoxton, and mother of the last witness, said that as deceased was leaving the bouse on the night before his death he turew something away, but she did not know what it was.—Henry Jenkin Owen, chemist, Vere- street, Cadoxton, deposed that he knew the deceased, who had been several times to his shop. He knew deceased to be a laudanum taker, who took such a dose as a tablesp onful frequently, amounting to about four grains of opiate. On Friday evening he purchased two ouuees of laudanum, some spirit of nitre, pills, paragoric, and perfume.—Mr G. S. Cardell, the manager of the Wenvoe Arms Hotel, Cadoxton, where deceased died, said that a letter wtts written by him addressed to Miss Davies, which he hande-1 to the barmaid. Before retiring for the night deceased vomited in the lavatory, and he (witness) thought he looked very ill. Between twelve and one o'clock Mrs Cardell called wit- ness, and she heard strange s ounds proceeding from deceased's bedroom. They opened the door, and found him btilf undressed lying ori j the bed. Dr O'Donnell was at once sent {,)r, but deceased died at about ten minutes past nine on Saturday morning.—Dr O'Donnell deposed that death was due to opium poisoning. With the assistance of Dr Kent, he had given de- ceased a byperdermic injectiou of appomorphia, in order to make him vomit again, but this was not successful. In his opinion, the man bati taken all the opium be had bought, about 66 ounces. -Polico- constable Michael Clynch gav evidence as to deceased's effects, which included ships' discharges, 5s o^d, and a silver watch, and after a short consultation the jury found Heyman had committed suicide whilst in an unsound state of wind. A letter, which deceased had written to Miss Davies on the evening preceding his death, was handed to the coroner, the contents of which it was desired should be kept private. —The Coroner informed the jury that the missive was very pathetic, containing many protestations of devotion, and a statement that the writer intended to kill himself.—It was not ascertained what Heyman had done with the £29 given him by Miss Davies. Only 5s õid was found upon his body, and he owed for his lodgings at the Wenvoe Arms Hotel, about JE6, which had not been paid.

The monthly meeting of the Barry School Board Bye-laws Committee was held at the Boardroom, Holton-road Schools, on Friday evening last, Captain Davies presiding. The other members present were Dr Lloyd Edwards and Mr J. Rees.-A. large number of parents were brought before the committee to answer for the irregular attendance at school of their children.—The Attendance Officer (Mr A. Seig) reported that during the month he had visited 2,638 absentees, and served notices on 110 parents. Four boy had been committed to the truant school, and 48 parents prosecuted. During November the average attendance of boys had been 89-9 per cent.; girls, 85*7 and infant", 82*6. The total attendance for the district during the month had been 5,050, or 86 per cent, of the scholars on the school registers. —The Attendance Officer, in view of the open- ing of Hannah Schools, asked the Committee to consider the advisability of appointing an addi- tional attendance officer. The last addition was made in September, 1896, and during thlt time seven head-teachers bad heeu appointed for as many new schools. When the new schools were open there would be 1,700 or 1,800 more children on the registers.- Tllf- uktitt, r was (itf,tred until the opening of the new schools.

BARRY LIBERAL AND RADICAL ASSOCIATION. LAND REFORM. THE STANDING ORDERS. A general meeting of the Barry Liberal and Radical Association was held at the Dolphin Rf-staurant, Dock View-road, Barry Dock, on We ineaday -evenin 'st in last week, Mr G. S. Travers presiding. There were also preseat Councillors M -rgao Thomas, the Liberal ag, nt for the division, W. Paters 'n, E. B. Smith-Jones, D Morgan, J. A. MUuat< n, Rev T. Pandy John, Messrs J. Cruise, V.V. L. Hughes, W. Graham, J. E. Wensley, see- retary, &c. Councillor Morgan Thomas gave a moat instruc- tive address on the question of Land Reform. He said the question was a big aad diffiault one. The land system of their country was at the root of many evils. The system was, on the whole, an evil, because it created a great monopoly. Healthy competition meant commercial progress. Comparing the extent of the land monopoly in England and France, Mr Thomas said the acreage of England was 76,000,000, and of this land 130,000 small landowners owned 13i acres each, which made in all 1,750,000 acres. There were 50 000 landowners with 9,000,000 acres between them, and 15,000 of the landowners with 4,268 acres of land each in all 64,000,000. Thus, the 76,350,000 acres of land were owned by 195,000 people. Compared with that, in France there were 5,000,000 landowners, with 7! acres each 500,000 with 75 acres between them and 50,000 of the largest owners of land with 750 aores, on an average each in all 111,000,000. The present Government had admitted a Bill which he main- tained had rather increased the evil than otherwise I by increasing the burdens of the agrioalturalists in another direction. He found that they paid in the country something like jE200,000,000 a year for the right to live upon the land of Great Britain, and of that huge income only 91,000,000 was paid by the landowners in the shape of taxes, and that million had been reduced by £ 100,000. The rate upon the land had been reduced, but the rate upon property increased. They were told that they got a grant from Government in order to make up for the deficiency upon the land rate out of the Consolidated Fand, which was imothing more or less than the amount which was left over in the national exchequer after all expenses had been paid, so that the money came, after all, out of the ratepayer's pocket. The greatest evil of the ques- tion was the unfair taxation-unfair to the people and before they could expect any equalisation in land they should have to go in for a land-tax upon the present value of land. The present tax was first imposed in the year 1862, and since then the value of land had increased enormously. Further, if there was a just and equitable tax upon the land, they should not have so many millions of acres uncultivated. That was due to more than one cause, and, in his opinion, there ought to be a law iu the country which would compel the landowner to demand only a fair market value. One of the secrets why landowners exacted such high rents was because they themselves were largely in debt. He considered that where land was required for the purpose of the community that that land should be obtainable at a fair price, and not at a rate which varied aeeording to its position in a town or city. In conclusion, Mr Thomas said he d.d not npect any tangible reform from the present Government, because, aa everyone knew, the Con- servatives were the great friends of the land- owners. The first reform the Liberal party ought to tackle was that of the land. (Applause.) O. the preposition of the Chairman, seconded by Mr W. Graham, a hearty vete of thanks was tendered Mr Thomas for his most interesting address. STANDING ORDIRS. A discussion next took place on the recommenda- tions from the Exeeutire Committee, the first of which vvas as follows :— That, having regard to the non-satisfactory result of our party contentsin the past, and while deprecating generally the policy of conducting loeal elections on party lines, circumstances may, however, justify the interference of this Associa- tion and in the event of such interference being found necessary, a special meeting shall be called to considt-r the action to be taken. Mr Gr-iham moved that the above become a standing order ef the Association. Mr J. Jones seconded. Mr J. Cruise said that the recommendation placed tbem in practioally the same poaition as before. MrE.S. Phiilips Mas of opiiiiou that if their o>gMnisation had no political object in view, ii would be detrimental to the best interests ef the Association. They would not be the gainers if they ceased to fight on party lines. Mr W. Graham maintained that Mr Phillips should have supported the amendmeut tbat was moved three weeks ago asking the Association to discard the poliey ef fighting on party lines. After a trial of three years it was found that the policy had not benefited the Association. Mr W. L. Jtlughes supported Mr Phillips, and said that if a canvass wa. made among the members of the Aell ciation it would be found that the majority were in favour of fighting on party lines. Councillor Morgan lhomassaid the Association ere dealing with a most vital question. A good deal of the energy of the Association was derived from municipal contests, and the only difficulty -%as that one should be ture the selections of contestants were loyally made. They had better not select a candidate by any means other than at a publie meeting of Liberal representatives. He believed that many Associations in the country ,Aare kept thoroughly alive by taking an interest in elections as a party. Mr Graham pointed out that candidates were always nominated in public meetings. Councillor Smith-Jones said the Standing Orders of the Association were only permissive, and over and over again they had allowed local contests to pass over without interfering as an Association. He asked how the resolution rescinding the Stand- ing Orders could remain, if the latter portion of the recommendation was carried. Rev Pandy John maintained that the spirit of the recommendation was ti at they were no longer compelled to fight every ward each year, and that it was entirely optional for the Association to nominate a candidate. Mr Graham disagreed with Mr Smith-Jones that the standing orders were permissive. After further discussion the recommendation was carried unanimously. On the proposition of the Rev Pandy John, seconded by Mr W. L. Iffughes, the discussion on the lecondl recomlT endation of the Executive Com- mittee was deferred for a month. It was decided to ask Councillor G. H. Brown, Newport, to give a date on which to address the Association sometime in January, instead of on the date arranged, which was found to be very inconvenient.

National Union of Teachers. MEETING OF THE BARRY BRANCH. A general meeting of the N.U.T. was held in the Ho!ton-road Schoo ls, Barry Dock, on Saturday afternoon, the president, Mr J. Bennett, in the chair.—Address were delivered by Mr W. C. Jenkins (Swansea) and Miss Hannah Williams (Cardiff), the latter more particularly to the young lady teachers.—Messrs D. Jones and F. Kingston were elected auditors to go into the accounts of the local officers, and Miss H. Williams, Mr W. C. Jenkins, and Mr Tom John, Llwynypia, were s lected as executive candidates for the Welsh district.—Mr D. Smith reported on the poaition of the Orphan and Benevolent Fund of the branch. This year the fund had received 215, though last year £ 25 15s had beeu added to the fund.—At the close of the business the usual tef, followed by a social evening, took place, Miss Winter presiding at the piano.

EXTENSIONS OF TIME. An hour's extnsion was granted Mr F. S. T. Brooks, ot the. Royal Hotel, for Wednesday even- ing, the 20th icit., the occasion being the annual dinner of the BOdrd School teachers.-An applica- tion was made for a three hours' extension of time on the 19th iust for the Barry Duck Hotel.— Applicant said a dance would be giveu that even- ing, the proceeds being in aid of the Voluntary Hospital, Barry Hotel. -The Bench: What do you mean by proceeds in aid of the Voluntary Hospital ? This is purely a speculation. We must have more certain information. JUDGEMENT SUMMONSES. George Baynes, a hawking herbalist, was brought up on a judgment summons for non- contribution towards is son's support in the Industrial School. -Superititojident Gid>tings said defendant, who had evidently imbibed fteely that evening, owed 19s in all. The order was made in August last.-The Btnch Have you anything to say why an order should noc be made ?—Defendant (in a very theatrical tone) I had 10s a mouth off him. I kept a shop once, but if I have to pay. I'll pay. My boy has been working at Lloyd's, and if I must pay, I'll pay it. See ? Defendant here put his hat on and made for the exist. Having been hauled back in a suitable manner, the Bench said Now, do you wish to call any witnesses ? If you don't behave properly, you will be sent to prison for misbehaviour. The evidence against you is that you have not paid any money.—I 'ave not. They took my boy away without my orders.—The Bench He was taken away by order of the Court. -Defendant: 'Ow much is it ?-The Bench Nineteen shillings and costs, whatever they Icome to.-Defendant If you will give me time, I'll pay. -The Beneh If you don't pay you will have to go to prison. As defendant was leaving the Court he became impudent and misconducted himself. He was again warned by the magistrates and left. -Ralph Reed, labourer, also surrendered on a judgment summons for 91 9s in respect of his boy, who'was also in an Industrial School.—The war- rant was suspended for three months, in order to give defendant a chance to pay. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. William Protheroe, labourer, whose wife repre- sented him, complained that all his money had been going into court for some time past, and that he was hardly able to pay for the support of his boy in an industrial school, An order for Is 6d a week was made.—Henry Williams, Joseph Taylor, and Thomas Thomas were each fined 2s 6d for disobedience of attendance orders.—The son of Charles Hewson was sent to the Dinas Powis Truant School for 12 months, the boy being incor- rigible.—Wm. Rennie's boy was also put in the same place for 12 months.—Attendance orders in respect of the children of the following were made Sidney Roberts, Thomas Foley, George Musgrave, Mary Bigwell, and Mary Gimlett. THE DOGS. The usual number of people were fined for feed- ing their dogs, which operation necessitates the removal of the muzzle, when the owner always directs the dog to the front door, where Providene* has placed a wily man of law. Dogs must be fed, and the feeding excuse is the one generally alleged as the caua. of the family disgrace. Annie Clarke, Richard Cullen, F. P. Jones-Lloyd, and John Henry Fowler were fined 68; Thomas Williams, 7a 6d and H. H. Paul, Charles Phillips, and Edgar Jones, 10s. The case against John Dandie's dog was dismissed. A STREET NUISANCE. Mr F. P. Jones-Lloyd represented eight boys who were charged with using obscene language in the public street on the evening of the 7th inst. Their names were Jonah Jones, Godfrey Pember, John Phillips, John Flynn, William Davies, William Laugford, David Mason, and Arthur Rea. Police-constable Davies' evidence was to the effect that on the evening in question he seoreted himself in an empty house near the place where the boys congregated, and stayed there three-quarters of an hour, during which time he took down the language of each of the defendants, which was banded to the bench.—In answer to Mr Jones Lloyd witness said he could hear perfectly all that as said, and could see without being seen. He had seen a young woman pass, and had heard obscene laDgusge used by one of the defendants towards her.—For the defence, a total denial of the officer's charge were made, and each of the defendant were put in the box, aod swore that they did not make use of the language complained of. The shop near which they were standing was the head.quarters of their football club, and they were discussing the previous Saturday's match.—The Beneh dismissed dofen-. dante with a caution, but remarked that bad language had undoubtedly been used, and if they appeared there again it would be remembered against them. STRAYING. Antonio Cosswitch was fined 3s id for allowing his horse to stray in Holton.road, Barry Dock, on the morning of the 4th inst. ALARMING FIRES. The chimneys of several people were on fire during last week, and they were fined Is each. Theae are their names-Richard Smith, John Rogers, John Jones, and Enoch Williams. STREET LEAGUE. Five little but determined-looking boys played footbaU the other day in Lombard-street, Barry Dock, and the Bench severely cautioned them and sent them away. Their names were Henry Thorn- lev, Aaron Fitton, Wm. Griffiths, Henry Williams, and Collier. OBSCENE LANGUAGE. Clara Hester, a m&Tried woman, admitted using obscene language en the highway recently, but maintaiued that she had cause. Her husband was a seaiaiing man, and had not contributed anything towards her keep for some time, aud when she partook the other day of a drop of gin she got exeited.—Fined 5s, or five days.

Mr Davies, of the firm of Davies and Meyrick, Pontypridd, appeared for applicant. THE VACCINATION ORDER. A number of parents in the district were sum- mooed before the magistrates to show cause why the Order compelling everyone who has not an exemption certificate was not obeyed by them, and the following were ordered to have their children vaccinated within a certain period, ranging fiom 21 days to a month :-William Reeves, Barry, John William Clarke, Charles Cousons, John Henry Hope, aud Thomas Howells.

THE MUZZLING MOVEMENT. The Board of Agriculture's movement for the suppression of dogly instincts and the rousing of I the mo.t savage nature latent in the animal was duly set on foot, as usual, on Monday, and several citizens were fined, namely, Benjamin Hoddinnott, second offence, 10s; Fred J. Downing, tooond tim3, 10s; John Leben, Samuel Lewis, John Rosser, and Mary Woods, each for the second timet 7s 6d; Bert Gibson, J. F. Greener, and Arthur Mitchell, 5s. MIICELLANOUS OFFENCES.

Evans and Benjamin Beynon were fined, the former 5s, and the latter 2s 6d.

Manlltield- Hearue's horses were seen stray., iow in Vere-street, Cadoxton, on the 9th iust, and Mansfield was now mulcted in 5s. John Somer- field paid Is for the pleasure of being informed by the police that his chimney was on fire when he knew it not. DRUNK AND INCAPABLE PEOPLE. The above is not a very fine or encouraging description to follow in the wake of one's illustrious cognomen, especially in those stirring times. But some people take a pleasure in being so described at the approach of Christmas, they think it neces- sary to get drunk in order to keep up the hallowed memories of the season. For committing offences similar to the headline Wm Richards, Mary Ann Lightbody, Thomas Cosgrove, Margaret Johnson, Keudrick Lloyd, and Edward Halloran, were fined 5s each Thomas Brown and Wm Tennaat, 7s 6d; Frank Gear and Patrick Kennedy, 10s and Mary Jones, an old offender, who bowed in a stately manner to the Bench, and who now registered her 16th appearance, was sent to prison for a month. Mary's words were prophetic as left the dock. She invoked the blessings of the Deity on the magis- trates, and wished them a Happy Christmas. LITTLE BOYS PLAY FOOTBALL. Desirous of emulating the crack and cracked teams of this district, three little boys, old for their age and small in stature, presented them- selves before their Worships on the seiious charge ef playing football on the highway. This they did on the 10th inst. in the pubiic street, to the danger of eveiything and everybody generally. They had been up before on a similar offence, but the magis- trates lot them off w ith a fine of Is each. DETERMINED YOUNG RASCALS. George James Clements, a dock worker, told a story to the benoh, which showed the de,eimined manner in which two boys br he the law and several panes of glass in this dis rict the other day. Clements said that on the 4th inst. he was proceed- ing to his work and when in the neighbourhood of Woodlai d-road saw two boys, n^med Sid Rube'ts and Cl aries W.bh, ag d 9 and 11 respectively, smash the gl;-ss of a public street lamp. He saw them attack a second and third lamp in the same manner. He now became interested in the career of these youngsters and followed them up, and was rewarded by observing them to deliberately smash five panes of glass in a block of buildings belonging to Alban Richards, contractor, in Kendrick-road, Barry Dock. He then gave them into custody. William Wall, in the employ of Alban Richards, said the value of the glass br ken by the boys was 10s. The District Council did not proceed against defendants for smashing the lanipm owing to the fact that the boys were sentenced to be birehed last week for housebreaking. fhey were now fired 10s each. The Bench thanked Clements for the part he had taken in bringing the boys to justice, BAD COMPANY. William Robertson, a eoaltrimmer, living at M. George-street, Barry Dock, was in bad company on the night of the 9th inst. The result was that he now charged Mary Ann Jones, a womaa belonging to the unfortunate elass, with stealing from him £1 in gold. Prisoner, Robertson alleged, spoke to him at the Royal Hotel. and after exchanging a few commonplace remarks, anent nothing in par- ticular, witness stood the lady a quart," and after they had been out for a short time, as the woman alleged, they parted. Prosecutor after- wards missed I is sovereign.—Sid Flook, assistant to Sol Barnett, pawnbroker, 55. Main-street, Cadoxton, said prisoner came the following week and took some goods she had pawned there out of pledge, for* which she tendered a sovereign.— Police-constable Thomas arrested prisoner, and the case was now adjourned till Friday, in order that further information may be obtained. OBSCENE LANGUAGE. Thomas Jones and William Lloyd were fined is and 10s respectively for using obscene language on the highway. AN EMOTIONAL IRISHMAN. John Moynehin, an uncommon name, and one that caused considerable trouble to the Bench, was charged in custody on two counts of felony. The first, with stealing an electro-plated knife, fork, and spoon from the Barry Dock Hotel, and the second with stealing a number of penknives, valued at 12s, the property of John Foscolo, general dealer, 58, Thompson-street, Barry Dook. E. Bewden, clerk at Culley's Hotel, recognised the knife, fork, and spoon as the property of R. P. Culley and Co., the owners.—Police-sergeant Wm Reed, of the Cardiff Borough Police, said he arrested prisoner in Grangetown on Saturday last. He was hawking from house to house, and offering the stolen property for sale. Witness required his license, and his answers, to questions not being satisfactory he was taken into custody and handed over to the Barry Dock police, being, transferred to Police-oonstablo Harris.—The second charge pre- ferred against prisoner was almost identical with the former one. The prosecutor, John Foscolo, missed his penknives on Saturday morning, the 16th inst., and they were in possession of prisoner when arrested in Cardiff.
