Wil- liams said on the 24th March, at 10 o'clock at night, he saw defendant on the road coming from the direc- tion of the Taff Vale Railway Goods Yard, carrying a sack of coal on his back. Asked him what he had ? He replied coal; he said, "I had it in the upper house of the three." On taking him in the direction of the houses he said, Well, to tell youthe truth I got it from the Taff Vale Railway." He said he had noticed the coal in the afternoon, lying on the roa^ ,'<uidjhe went there to get it.—Mr Dukes, surgeon, said he was in attendance on the family at the time. The wife was ill, there was great destitution, and no fire in the house.—Fined 10s or seven days. WOUNDING AT PENYGRAM.—John Rees was brought up on this charge. William Williams, haulier, Watts- town, said on Monday the 29th March, he went to the Swan public-house, Penygraig, with defendant. They had a quarrel, and began to fight, and went outside for the purpose. They were put out by the landlady. Defendant threw him down, and got on top of him, and bit him on the right jaw, and the left ear. Other people whom he did not know kicked him. Defendant knocked him about when he was on the ground.—Dr Carston dressed his ear. On the Wednesday he went to Dr Dukes who has attended him ever since. He went back to Wattstown in a brake on Tuesday, the day after the wounding.—Dr E. Dukes said Le is assis- tant to Dr. Lewis, Cymmer. On Wednesday morning, 31st March, he was called to complainant by Mrs. Williams. Found him suffering from a contused wound in the upper part of the left ear, a slight con- tused wound over the left eye, and a mark on the right neck immediately under the jaw, as if he had been bitten. He was in bed. There were a good many minor scratches and bruises. The wound on the ear was a kick or by a blunt instrument. It was not a bite. The wound over the left eye was not a bit;. On the wound on the neck there weie distinct marks of the teeth. The superficial skin was broken. There was no occasion for complainant staying in bed. He could have gone to work in three days.- Defendant called Edward Jones, haulier, Penygraig, who said he was in the Swan. Rees was sitting down and Williams struck him. Williams was put out, and he returned again and struck defendant. They were then both put out. He did not see what took place outside. Rees was quite sober, and Williams was not drunk.—Edward Rees, collier, Penygraig, said he saw a row in the road, and found Rees there out3ide the Swan. He told Rees he would get into a bother. There were about 40 present. The man Rees was fighting with complainant, and challenged the "road" to fight. Williams was on the ground with a crowd round.—Fined 50s including costs. NIGHT POACHING AT LLANTRISANT.-Thomas Evans was charged with this offence.-Sergeant Hoyla said, he saw defendant on the ground of Mr John Davies, Llantrisant. He was with a man who was convicted last Friday, at Llantrisant, and fined three pounds. Defendant ran away. Saw him after, and asked him why he ran away ? He said, I was frightened of you Sergeant. If you'll forgive me I'll take you where I put the net. Took him to the back of some houses, and found the uet at the door. He said if you won't lock me up I'll you the truth. Mother made me go with the man who lodged with us. We started at nine. First went to Miskin and nettad three or four fields there. Then came to the Marquis of Bute's land. We netted three fields there above a wood. The defendant's mother is a prostitute, and lives with the man Tom convicted last Friday. He appre- hended defendant at Cardiff.—Adjourned for a month as Sergeant Hoyle said he had obtained work for defendant at 10s a week, and his aunt is willing to receive him, if he will keep away from his mother.- Bound over in five pounds to appear on first Friday in May.

Hanaah Jones, wife of John Jones, collier, 1, Chapel-street, Treorky, said defendant had lodged vwith her for a fortnight last Saturday. He left her house yesterday morning about six o'clock. She did not know he was going. After he was gone she missed the money out of the cupboard in the kitchen. The money was in a rag. On missing it she gave information to the policeman. Mary Jones, daughter of complainant, said she saw the money 5s. 81d. safe on Monday evening. On Tuesday morning at seven o'clock she found the money gone. Did not see defendant go, but heard he was gone.-P.C. Hurford said he arrested prisoner on the railway platform at Llwynpia. He was in the act of getting into the train for Cardiff. On searching him found three shillings on him in silver and two- pence in coppers. Also received one and sixpence from the station-master, being the money for the ticket to Cardiff.

Defendant said he worked for M' Jones who owed him money for overtime he had worked. Mrs Jones said "I took compassion on him, took him off the road when he was quite destitute, and gave him 12s a week. I will never do so again." He put on his working clothes, left his lamp on the table, and took everything he could of any value out of the house.—To go to prison for fourteen days. I.

A MISUNDERSTANDING AT THE MARITIME COLLIERY, PONTYPRIDD. A NUMBER OF MEN DISMISSED. A good deal of feeling has been created in some parts of Pontypridd, owing to the action of the management of the Maritime Colliery ic getting rid of a large number of their older workmen. It appears that on the 1st April notices were served upon about 24 of the employes to terminate con- tracts, and also to leave the houses they occupied, those being the company's houses. The strange part of it is, say the workmen, the people who occupy the company's houses, and yet do not wcrk at the colliery, have not received notices to quit. After receiving the notices, the hauliers, who at this colliery as at other places are the most demon- strative of the workmen, are reported to have stuok the notices in their kats and thus gone about with them, and also nailed the obnoxious papers upon posts here and there throughout the colliery. The worst part of the misunderstanding is that there is no reason given, apparently, for the dis. missal of the men, and as it happens that the larger number of those discharged are Welshmen, it ia generally held that there is a desire on the part of the management to get rid of the natives."

A Dinas Boy Drowned at Monmouth. We regret to have to report the sad death by drowning of a very promising bay-the son of Mr W. Rees, of the Graigddu Inn, Dinas. The lad was at Monmouth Grammar School and about to go to London to take a position in a bank. On Wednesday afternoon, however, he and four other Menmoath Grammar School scholars were out on the river between Monmouth and Dixton prac- tising for a boat contest to be rowed on Thursday. The boat capsized, and the occupants were plunged into the river, which was rather rough. Two of the boys saved themselves. One was taken from the river in a very exhausted state, but the other two, Miles and Rees, were drowned. The laat-named was 17 years of age.
