LLiKWOKHO SCHOOL BOARD. The monthly meeting of- this Board (of which a brief report appeared in our lest issue) was held on WedDt adaj;, the Cth iDSt., at the Vestry Hall, Pontypridd, when the following members were presert:-lllr Jno. Davies (in the chair), Mr Idris Williams (v ice-cl airiuari). Rev. B. Lloyd. Messrs C. J. N. Grey, Watkin Williams, Ll. Llewelyn, H..I MattLas, M. H. Thomas, H. Abraham, W. W. Phillips, and T. Edwaids. letter was read from the Divisional Police office stating with regard to the complaints agfUDst children damaging the school at Blaen- llechau, some of the children had been taken LdJreMr M. H. Thomas, who had pardoned tliew 'N.r Thomas now denied this.—The Chair- man TLere is a definite statement made there.— Mr. T-ianias; It is a definite untruth I know notLiiig if the matter. I must have been in a traid,e.-Ou the motion of the vice-chairman, secoLded by the chairman, u leply was directed to be uC Ue polity. THE HAFd) bCiiooi. The chairman drew attention to the dispute between this Board and the Llantrisant Board with respect to the cLildteu attending Hafcd school. The only thirg upon which he would make any temail was the fact that the committee had taken action before making a report to the Board.—Mi W. W". Phillips said that although he lived il >se to the school, he knew nothing about the children bcicg turLed home until after it hnd been done.-The Clerk said it was a matter of necessity.—The Vioe-cbairman said that a deputation weiut from this Buaid to the Llactri- sant Board, and the latter Boerd told them dis- tinctly to turn the childt en back, because there was plenty of accommodation at The Cymmer school for the ebilllien cf Llantrisant parish. Acting upon this suggestion the committee bad directed that the children should be turntd back, and it was ei tiiely at the wish of the LlaDsiiaact Board that tUtY bad done so.-The Chair- man said he did not think the Board should be too sensitive, but did not think that a subordinate officer should take upon himself, in a letter o the newspapers, to describe tLis Board in uncompli- mentary terais wLen the facts were the reverse to what be stat,-d.-The Clerk said he hid pre- pared the statement to show the position of affairs October 4th, 1886. Dear Sir.—On Wednesday next your Board will bo asked to receive a deputation from Llantrisant School Board, re school accommodation at Hafod Infant School. The department demanding n:ore sehocl room here it became an absolute necessity to send home children from the infant department, or a serious deduction would take pikice in next year's grant. Herewith also find a clipping from the "South Wales Daily News," writteu by tbe attendance officer of Llantrisant School Board. This I deem very imperti- neut and altogetiier devoid of fact. I hardly think it wise for any official to accuse a Board of being absurd, and hope you will net forget this. In the years 1S7T5 and 1377 the Llanwonno and Llantrisant School Boards approved of school site and plans for Hafnd, in which Llanwonno agreed to pro- vide for 150 children from that parish. Therefore the absurdity of tbe proportion oi those buildings belongs to both .Board3, but if you will carefully follow me yon wiil see that every care was taken in estimating the future, and the Boards deserve complimenting, and not to be called absurdities. The accommodation of the Hafod Infant School is for 120 children. From 1S7G until 1.S84, 122 infants were the highest average attendance, and even now the excess com- ,»laiued of is only 10 in. average attendance for the last two year3. Yt!iii cildiiig May, 1879, average attendance in the infant department, 87; 1H, }O; iSSl, c.»: 18S-2, • IS:3, 102; 1881, 122; 18»5, 12!J; 188(5, !;j(). The Department now iusists upon m. re accommodation, and the question is as to who ought to provide it. Our attendance officer reports 7G children in attendance at your infant school from the parish of Llantrisant, and the Llantrisant attendance officer practically, in figures, agrees to this. You will observe that lie L-ives ill his letter to the press that there are 5;» children between the age of three and fi ve years. You have, therefore, a right to assume that tjere are 53 between five and seven; that would give us lOtj infciuts of school age, taking 30 per cent. as the number being absent from school; that will equal about PO, leaving 70 children in average attend- ance. Now the Llantrisant Board can only claim accommodation for 1-56, upon the following grounds :— tlafou schools are to supply 500 children of school age namely, boys 200, girls 180, infants 120, total 500. Llantrisant can claim for 150. as follows:—150, the il'lOths of the whole, 500, tljus (1), boys 200. then 3-10ttis ot 200, 600,10ths, 60; (2), girls 180, then S lOths of ISO, 510 lOths, 54; (ii), infants 120, then 3-10ths of 120 1, 260'lQihs, 36; total 150. That explains the accommodation of each Department, and if Llantri- sant portion at Hafod have more infants than other children, Llanwonno Cannot help that. This appears to me a fair statement of fact. Yours faithfully, S. SIIIPTON, Clerk. Mr J. W. Jone3, Chairman. I Mr Idris Williams said the Hafod people were not willing to send their children to Oymrner school because it was too far.—Mr Watkin Wil- liau s said there were- H6 children from Llattri- I sant parish' still attending Cymmer school. although a number had been turned away.—Mr T..Edwards said it was a mistake altogether.— The matter then dropped.—The deputation ap- pointed by the Llantrisant Board did not put in I aa appearance. PENRHIWCEIBEIt SCIENCE AND ART SCHOOLS. A letter was read applying for a grant, out of the poundage paid by the workmen, towards cer- tain exl.euzes connected with the proposed Sc ience and Art Class at Peurbiweelber. Mi- Ll. Llewelyn advocated tl, claims of tbepromoteis of the class j to consideration, pointing out thit the workmen «f Ptnrhiwceioer paid a considerable amount of poundab towaids the school, and they were fairly entitled to whatever the Boaid could give them, in rrdtr that tie )t,ui, men of the place might L% reccive scientific education.—The Chairman also supported tL cl-iim.— A Committee of local mem- ber-s wus /'ppoiLted to see what was wanted, and ;tr.itrge tLe raLt accordingly. | THE FORTH "CHùOL QCKSTIOH AGAIN. The Chairman, in accordance with a notice of motion, now use to move that the master and mistress of Pmth School be removed to Ynysybwl. The matter had been discussed so many times by tie Board that Le thougkt it would be supeifluous to have a discutsivn on the matter t.gain- He d d not think that tl.e matter should he again i'h. esned out by them, but he migtit say that tha motion of Mr Idris Williams at » previous n eet- !ng was a very peculiar ntd a very extreme r u to place UtOa the because Mr Williams admiced the fault of these people. Be did not conceal it.—Mr. Williams: He could not conceal it if he wished.—The C hair- man And he (the vice-chairman) stated that they ought to be dismissed.-Tbe Vice-chairman: I did not.-The Chairman read the resolution passed at the preyiQus. goaid, and on the vice- chairman still objecting to the chairman's interptetation. of it, the Chairman went on to say that the' reason assigned by the Vice-chairnsan foi'confendihjj that these people on,, bt to cost lliey, 1.t that a ineiuoiial had bee" %,f inhabi- nf tA T>bir»* p f t. fh»ii Mint) suid ti", i i). 41 •••-• e -jit.Mi.t .»« iJ. J I You are opening a discuiesion which you at the outset laid down you ought net to do.—Mr Phil- I ps: Chair, chair; you have to right to interfere' —Mr Thomas Certainly I have ht his no more privilege than I.-The Chairman Won't it be a very bad precedent?—Mr Thomas: We have discussed aod settled it.—The Chairman then remarked that they ougLt to maintain the dignity of the Board, and the members who were opposed to his view ought to give them on that side the liberty to judge for themselves, for they were sincere in the belief that they were right as the others wtire, and he hoped that that days' resolu- tion would be so decisive that no one would raise the question ag*iu. He begged to move the reso- lution which btood iu his name.—Rev B. Lloyd said he could not say he had pleasure, but it was bis duty to Stcocd the motion, and he thought it needed no apology, bebause a precedent had been laid down by the vice-chairman at the last meet- ing in moving a resolution of this kind. He remarked that the continued discussion of this matter by the Board was ce-rtaixly more injurious ihan the removal of these people at the outset would be.—Mr Llewellyn said be voted on the previous occasion with Idris Williams, and be did not regret it. He thought the arguments were as much against as for the matter, and suggested tilat the best way out of the diffioulty would be to let the matter rest for a little while, and he believed that these people would find another situation.—Mr Thomas said he would second that. —Mr T. Edwards said they bad no guarantee that that statement was correct —A lengthy dis- cussion followed, a.nd on the motion being put to tue meeting the votes were aa follow:—For the amendment Me6srs Watkin Williams, R. Matbias, Idris Williams, and M. H. THomas; for the Chairman's motion—the Chairman, Messrs T. Edwards, W. W. Phillips, Rev B. Lloyd, and JlrH. Abraham. The Chairman's motion was con- s quently carried, and when put as a substantive motion Mr Thomas did not vote.—This concluded the business.

THE ii WORKMkfi'S CLUB AT TREHERBERT. POLICE PROSECUTIONS. At Ystrad police-court, on Monday (before Mr Ignatius Williams, stipendiary magistrate, and Mr John Davies), David Owen Evans, manager of the Workman's Club" at Treherbert, was summoned for keeping a bogus club Mr Khys appeared for the police, and Mr Plews for defendant. Mr Rhys, in his opening, called attention to the leading points in a letter which appeared in the Western Mail from the the Stipendiary Magistrate of Swansea. William Leyshon, collier, Baglan-street, said there was :i club called the Treherbert Workman's Club." He was going down the road about three or four months ago with two other men when someone called to them and asked them if they wanted beer. The man who called came out of the clab premises. They said "Yes," and walked in with Liw. There was plenty of beer passing. They went In at about eight or nine o'clock in the evening and remained until three o'clock the following morning. The place was crowded. They did not pay anything for the drink. They were appointing a committee, and he was elected as one. He did not pay any entrance fee, nor bad he paid any feo up to the present time. He had attended the club on several occasions, and had driuk when he ordered it. He paid 3d a pint for the beer to either the manager or his wife, but sometimes to members who were employed as waiters. On the 19th September (Sunday) he had drink there. He was thera from three in the afterneon till eight or nine at night. He paid the manager for what he had. Cross-examined Witness said he was a collier and that he lived at Trealaw. He went to the police about the club on Monday night, Sept. 20th. They would not allow him to flnter the club that night, and they charged him with having sent the police to the club on the previous evening. There was no actual committee, but plenty of names. On the 30th of August the manager, another man, and himself were the committee. There were minutes entered on that day said to be seconded by a Mr Ward, but there was no Ward present. At the first meeting it was agreed that the first twetity-five members should be called original members and constitute the club. It was passed that defendant should be manager at 30s a week with use of house and fire. On the 20:h July wittiens was expelled the club. He afterwards met Mr Lvans on the road and asked him to be reinstated. The manager told him he must pay a fine of 1s. The manager aftorwards called him to the back of the club and gave him a Is. He then called out a man and said,^ Y.opi see that Loyshon has paid me Is fine." He paid the Is back to the manager. Members were proposed and seconded on a Sunday. The com- mittee saiu Monday. 'Those proposed were at once supplied with drink. He believed that David Phillips was rejected for fighting tbe-firet Sunday he came to the club. Plenty of men had drink and paid for it before becoming members. By Unle Vno man was a member until elected by the committee. He-examined: Sundays were the great days for electing new members. Mo accounts had ever been submitted and no profits distributed among the members. Most of the beer was had from Mr Llewellyn's,Pentre., One H gal. cask was fetched from the Khondda Brewery. He told the manager that he had been wrongly expelled, and he was told to come back. Inspector Thomas said on the 19th September he visited the club in consequence of complaints he had received. He saw defendant and asked him if he should go in to see what was going on. He replicd No, I entuwt allow you in without permission from the committee." There were three members present, and they refused to let him. Harry llobert Jones, of Robert-town, said he was one of the persons present at the preliminary meet- ing for the formation of a club. lie was chairman of committee. There were from 35 te 40 persons present. Resolutions were passed and recorded in the minute book in his hind writing. David Morgan was appointed secretary, and Mr Hurford deputy- ,seL-retary., He was a member of the committer, and attended committee meetings often. Rules were prepared for the management of this club. The original rules were amended on the 15th September. The fines were to go to the Cardiff Infirmary. The admission fee was threepence per member. Mr Rhys: Are you a professional club maker No. How many clubs have you assisted to start besides this one ?-Only one at Ynysybwl. Defendant was also sworn. He said that no one was appointed member unless he was duly proposed and seconded, and appioved by the committee. By Mr Rhys: The date of proposal was not put in the minute book. That was not stipulated by rule. i Mr Rhys: Were members elected on a Sunday No. Mr Rhys: How is it, then, that we have names entered here on the 23th—a Sunday-and that the date is changed to the 27th—not a Sunday ? Witness said that when the inspector called on August 1st there were persons in the club who wore not members. They had been proposed for member- ship. Possibly these men had beer, but their friends paid for it. The Stipendiary (to the defendant): I see you have here (Rule 4) that the club is established for purposes of social intercourse and recreation." What do you nieam by social intercourse ?"-Any amusement yoa like. (Laughter.) What is recreation ?—I don't know. Playing a game of cards. (Laughter.) Mr Plews: Or draughts?-Yes. The Stipendiary: Were the draughts there from the commencement ?—No, sir, they were not. Mr Rhys When were the dominoes and draught9 had .'—A fortnight ago. They were not entered in that book (pointing). The treasurer paid fcr them out of his own pocket. What means of social intercourse had you there all along?—We have had cards from the commence- ment. Then why is it that it is said on the minvtes that on the 15th September (four days before the^ummons) cards and dominoes were ordered to be got ? You amended your rules and got the dominoes afjter some- thing took place at Cardiff-after Mr Valpy's decision at Cardiff ?-No. David Morgan, secretary of the club, gave evidence. He stated that subject to the committee's direction Leyshon had been twice expelled from the club. i The Stipendiary said that he would consider his decision, and give it on Wednesday week 110' Ppnty- pridd. » ,<' K) THE WORKMEN'S CLUB, tSTRAD. .iJ Another police elnb prosecution followedr- The defeigdan^ in this case was Frederick Serge^it, Heol- fach, andJje was charged with aelliqg beer \gitliout a license on the 26th September. 9 t 1), Mr Rhys again prosecuted, anjl Mr Belthe^(C&rdiff} dafqpdad.. » t M-Loynes-add tkat he visited defeadAitto pre- t^aj £ G< £ ^g £ |>fejubor.

Defendant came round" to vitness, and said, Come downstairs. I have more men down there drinking." Between 10 and 11 witness saw 38 men leave by the front door. A door keeper let them out. Mr Belcher addressed the bench for the defence' He said the tenancy was by the club, and the clnb was also on the rato-book. The invoices for the beqr and spirits, &c., were made to the club, and the club by its equipment and management was an undoubtedly bona fide concern. Mr Joseph Hudd, secretary of the club, was sworn, and give evidence to show that the club was not an irregular organization. Defendant was also examined. He admitted in examination that he had out of his own pocket purchased chairs for the club, but it was merely an advance to the club, owing to the low state of its funds. The Stipendiary adjourned the case till next Wed- nesday week, defendant to pay all the costs. ————mmmmm
