Mr. Marlay Samson prosecuted and Mr. Griffith Jones defended Crowley and All defendants pleaded not guilty. McCarthy appeared in khaki. There was an important discrepancy be- tween a woman's evidence and that of another witness, and the Recorder asked whether, in view of this, it was worth while going on with the case. Mr Marlay Samson agreed, and thought t'hecaso should not go to the jury. The jury formally returned a verdict of not guilty, and prisoners were discharged. FAILED TO SURRENDER.

THIEVES AND RECEIVERS. I Swansea Recorder's Views. At Swansea Borough Quarter Sessicms on Saturday, before the Recorder (Mr. lvor Bowen, K.C., John William-s (48), salesman, surrendered to his bail on a charge of stealing a roll of oilcloth value S5, the property of Philip Lewellyn, house furnishers, Castle-street, on May 31st, and Alfred Lyons (43), licensed hawker, was charged with receiving it, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Marlay Samson prosecuted, and Mr. Trevor Hunter defended Lyons, who pleaded not guilty. Williams, a salesman in Mr. Llewellyn's employ, admitted the thefb. The evidence for the prolecutiop showed that a watch was kept on the shop shortly before nine o'clock in the morn- ing, and Lyons was fe-en to take the oil- cloth away on his shoulder to a house in the Strand, where he stored the goods he sold. He was arrested in his travelling van at Cwm, Landore, and when charged he replied: I didn't steal it. I paid him £3." Prisoner, on oath, said in reply to Mr. Sameon, that he had had seven previous transactions with Williams. Lyons was found not guilty, and dis- charged, the Recorder remarking: I should advise you to get receipts in the future." Williams, who had been bound' over previously, was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. The Recorder remarked: The real person to he punished in these cases is th« secei\*r, but he is a difficult perso nto catch. Some day the receiver will be caughtj"

THE RAZOR CLUE 1 SWANSEA WOMAN'S PlUNGE TO DEATH I TRAGEDY OF DEPRESSION An inquiry into the circumstances at- l tending the tragic death of Mrs. Mary Margaret Davies, aged 32, of 5, Duke- street, Swansea, whose body was recovered from the Cwmdonkin Reservoir on Thurs- day, was heLd at Swansea on Friday by the Deputy Borough Coroner (Mr. (ilyn Morris). The husband identified the body as that of his wife. She had been unwell for two months. She was depressed and worried at not being physically strong. There were IOUT small children, and as witness was going to the Army on the 24th of this month, he thought this played on her mind. She had been attended by Dr. xtawlings. Witness last saw his wife alive on Thursday morning, at 8 o'clock before he went to work. He left her in the house with her sis- ter, who had been staying with them for about three months. Witness returned home for dinner at 12.30, and found that his wife had irone <Mt. His 6ister-in-iaw said she had gone to get! dinnr. Witness returned to work with-! out his dinuer, and the next he heard acvout his wife was after seeing a para- graph in the papers THE RAZOR CLUE. He noticed that the razor was in poe- ee&sion of the police, and on returning! home he looked for his razor and missed it. He went to the Uplands Police Station and identified the rassor as his own. De- ceased wa6- much worried about him joining the Aiiny, and she said she could not struggle along without him. Dr. H Rawlings said he had attended deceased wh., was in a highly nervous state, and suffered from sleeplessness. He was told that on one occasion deceased had triea* to get under a tramcar. He told a neighbour that she ought to be very carefully watched. On Wednesday week last he received a letter from Mr. Davies, saying his wife was much better, and asking for another bottle of medicine. Witness afterwards went away, and de- ceased was seen by witness' brother. He examined the body, and found a super- ficial incised wound in the lower part of the front of the neck, 4i- inches long. Other indications of the body led him to the conclusion that death was due to drowning. The wound on the throat was not snfficient to cause death. WHAT THE VISITORS SAW. Wm. Bannett, a visitor from East Ham, and staying in Lower Oxford-street, Swan- sea, gave evidence as to seeing a woman walk quickly up Cwmdonkin-terrace. When she got to Rosehiil-drive she put her hand to her neck and cried Master, master," and shortly after- wards something foil from her hand. The woman fell to the ground, but soon got up again, and went ahead of him and got out of sight. He thought she went through the gate into the park. Nan Hulley another visitor to the town, said she was sitting on a sa;, in the park when she saw a woman go up to the barbed wire round the pond, and she cried, What shall I do? Where shall I go ?" She then climbed over the wire and tumbled on the opposite side. Wit- ness followed her over the fence, but lost sight of her, as she went round the left of the pond. The park keeper and others came on the sdene, and witness then went away. EIGHTEEN FEET DEEP. f Thomas Northwood, 35, Rhondda-street, j park ranger at Cwmdonkin, said at 10.45 on Thursday morning the previous witness shouted out to him that a lady had gone to the roservoif. Witness ran along the walk, and getting on the embankment saw deceased in the water up to the waist. Witness went to get the key of the gate, and at the same time shouted to another man at the bowling green that a woman wac- in the water. When lie i-e- turned the ot-h.,3r man was over the fence, but the woman had disappeared. There was 18 feet water in the reesrvoir that morning. Tli,, body was found within three yards of where he sa-v deceased in the water. It was a marvellous feat for the previous witness, or any woman, to get through the barbed wire that sur- rounded the pond. Witness advised the previous witness to go away while they! searched for the body. He thought what she did was very plucky, and she de- served to be complimented, for not one! woman in a thousand could hav-e got! over that fence, and if she had not lost! sight of deceased she mierht have saved her. P.C. Andrews gave evidence as to grappling operations without result, and on the advice of the borough engineer they decided to lower the water, with th result that the body was found and con- veyed to the mortuary. A razor case was discovered inside her blouse. THROUGH HUSBAND BEING CALLED UP. The Deputy Coroner commented upon the deliberate manner in which the act was performed and the iury retired to consider their verdict. After a few minutes they returned and brought in a verdict of Suicide while temporarily i neane," caused through worry that her husband had had to join the Army. The jury and Coroner expressed sym- pathy with deceased's husband.

LOR D H"Ã 'C[iN E's-séE ECH- A CORRECTION. The Secretary of the Mond Nictcl Co., Ltd., writes Our attention has been drawn to the speech by Lord Haldane in the House of Lords, in which he refers to ( the Brunner Mond works at Swansea." The works in question are not owned by Messrs. Brunner, Mond and Co., Ltd., if. Northwieh, the great chemical manu- TOcturers, but by the Mond Nickel Co., Ltd., of 39, Victoria-street, London, S.W., which is an entirely separate company."

PONY' ON POP.IN-GAOL. While walking in Hyde Park last May a doctor from Malta was accosted by a stranger. A bond of mutual interest was found in the wounded Canadians at Malta, and the doctor was invited to a house in Addison-road. On a subsequent visit someone there explained to the doctor that he had taken, a great fancy to him and had decided to allow him t-o put £50 on a horse in the Haymarket Races." He parted with the X, and was told that it had gone on a horse called c* Pop-inGaol." Mr. de Grey remarked that it was an ominous name when the case came before him as a charge of theft against a man called John Anderson. Eventually, how- ever, Anderson was discharged on the ground that there was no evidence against him.

IRISH M.P. A PRISONER. I Amsterdam, Friday. — The Cologne Volkszeitung" states that it has re- ceived from the front a letter to the effect that Capt. Craig, M.P. for South Antrim, is in a field hospital in the West, wounded, but not dangerously. A Iette-r stated to have been written by him to his wifi is reproduced in the paper to show thait. Capt. Craig is being well-treated. The letter runs: "I am in hospital with a wound in the leg, which is Hot bad, and will soon be well. I am. of course, a prisoner. Wo are very well treated."—Renter. [Note.-Capt-ain Charles Craig, M.P. for South Antrim, was recently reported « killed," which was afterwards corrected to missing:]

WHISKY & TOBACCO. 1 Charge Against Swansea I Dock Sergeant. Trial at Quarter Sessions. I At Swansea Borough Quarter Sessions on Friday evening, before the Recorder (Mr. Ivor Bowen, K.C.), John Danaher (37), a sergeant in the Swansea Harbour Police, was brought up for trial on a charge of receiving 10 bottles of whisky and 41bs of tobacco, value A4 3s 9d, the pro- perty of Messrs. M. Jones Bros., shipping agents, Glasgow Wharf, South Dock, Swansea, on April 13th. Mr. Trevor Hunter (instructed by Mr. R. A. Jones) was for the Crown and Mr. Marlay Samson (instructed by Messrs Andrew and Thompson) defended. Mr. Trevor Hunter-, in opening, ex- plained that the Docks Police was a pri- vate force, distinct from the Borough Police Force. The steamship Medway was discharging at the basin on April 11th and subsequent days, her c&rgo in- cluding cases of whisky and a consign- ment of tobacco for Mr, Gage, tobacconist, High-street. The whisky and the tobacco were placed near the warehouse office. At 9.30 on the Thursday the tobacco wat taken up to Mr. Gage's premises, and it was noticed that the binding of the pack- age seemed to have been tampered with. On examination it was found that instead of containing lOlbs. it only contained 6lbs. About 12.30 the same day the whisky was about to be removed, and it was noticed that some of the cases were lighter than the others. It was then discovered that three cases were each three or four bottles short. When investigations were mado later the whisky bottles and tobacco were found stored away in the sergeants' room. Ernest Gray, a warehouseman at the Glasgow Wharf, bore out counsel's opening. Cross-examined, witness said the cases of whisky and tobacco were not tallied or weighed on arrival at Swansea. Bertram Crocker Horner, assistant warehouseman at the wharf, also gave evidence. Frank Gage, tobacconist, 196, High- street, said the value of the missing tobacco was 1:2. Clarence Sevier, borough analyst, spoke to analysing the remaining contents of two bottles. One contained port wine and the other whisky. Sergt. King, of the Harbour Police, de- posed that when he went to the sergeants' room at 7 a.m. on April 13th he found the blinds down—though it was daylight —and the lights on. Danaher was sitting down, just waking from a sleep. Witness noticed several bottles of whisky on the shelf, and said, co Have you had a capture, sergeant? Danaher replied No. I ,bouglit it." When told there was a report that some whisky and tobacco were miss- ing, Danaher replied, I have not seen it. I didn't have it." Later, said witness, eight packets of tobacco were found on a high shelf. Mr. Samson cross-examined witness as to his relations with accused, and asked: Have you had some unpleasantness with Danaher ?— Never. Haven't you told Hancock you would get him the sack before you finished with him'?—Never. Havafi't you told Danaher the same thing ?-No. sir. Further cross-examined, witness admit- ted that 18 years ago he was reported to the inspector for drunkenness, but denied that within the past few months he had been seen under the influence of drink by a police officer named F«vliss. Mr. Trevor Hunter: With the exception of getting drunk about IS years ago, llaxe you had any other trouble in the force ?— No. sir. He had been sergeant eight years, witness added. The court adjourned till Saturday morn- ing, the sitting having extended till 7 p.m. THE ACCUSED DISCHARGED. Resuming on Saturday morning, the Recorder remarked he had read through the depositions once more, and asked Mr. Trevor Hunter, who prosecuted, whether he had any further evidence as to the identity of the articles alleged to be stolen. Mr. Hunter: Nothing. The Recorder: Can you contend there is any evidence of the loss of those articles? Mr. Hunter admitted he had been troubled about that point. The Recorder said it was perfectly clear that before a man could be convicted of receiving stolen property there must be evidence that the goods had been stolen. There was no evidence to show that Danaher was near the wharf when the goods were stolen. Mr. Hunter: There is no evidence of that. The Recorder: Supposing this case re- sulted in a conviction, I think the Court of Appeal would have held at once, in the absence of such evidence, it would be wrong. Addressing the jury, the Recorder said he would intervene at this juncture, and he would have to ask them to find accused I not guilty on these grounds. Before the prosecution could ask for a conviction they must prove that the tobacco packages and the v/hisky cases contained their full consignments when delivered at the Glas- gow Wharf. Proceeding, the Recorder' said it did not concern him whether there was going to be an inquiry by the Docks Police authorities as to matters connected with the case, but he wanted to say some- thing on certain statements that had been made. When Sergt. King gave his evi- dence the previous day, counsel for the defence did not challenge the witness I as to the fact that Danaher was j in the sergeants' room with the whisky bottles. I wgunt it to be clearly under- stood by Danaher and by the public," he continued. The only allegations made by Mr. Marley Samson, on the instruc-! tiOllS of his client, was that Sergt. King was attacked by Danaher and accused of being a drunken person. I say here there is no evidence of it. I think the charge ought not to have been made, and I think it is a pity it was made. Accused was formally found not guiliy I and discharged.

AT THE TRIBUNALS. I CARMARTHEN. Capt. Cremlyn and Mr H. Jones- Davies (Board of Agriculture representa- tive) applied to the Carmarthen Appeal Tribunal at Carmarthen, on Friday, that all agricultural cases should be adjourned until after the hay and corn harvest. Capt. Cremlyn said a circular had been received from the Board of Agriculture practically asking military representatives and tribunals to agree to this adjourn- ment. The tribunal decided not to adopt the course suggested, but to deal with each case on its merits. H LLANDOVERY. -1 I,- me mayor, our. jrrysw xuce, presiaeu over a meeting of the Llandovery Tri- bunal held on Friday evening. A licensed victualler applied for abso- lute exemption on the ground that he was suffering from chronic sciatica. The case was referred to the, Medical Board. Exemption until the 31st of December was granted to a student at Llandovery College to enable him to sit at an exam- ination.
