TO OCCUPY 4 DAYS. I — ■ ■ ■ ■ .——— Meath Case Mentioned in I Chancery Division. I In the Chancery Division on Friday I the Xeath cute, Kichards v. Br9wn, was I again mentioned to Justice Younger. Mr. iiauuccks said there were a large .num- ber of witnesses to come from South U'aks. It was estimated that the hear- ing would occupy four days. Plaintiff in the action was the wife of a bankrupt, and she was claiming I against defendant that the business carried on by hint was hers. One of the i,ues raised was that the money being used :n the business was not his, and that thi? wm a fraudulent trust.

Mr. Maddoeks also asked for an order "IJ the banker- to produce bankrupt's ■ banking account, and he wanted certain f depositions taken at the last Assizes when the bankrupt v.as prosecuted. The magistrate at Neath decided to commit '(. trial, and prosecutor was bound over to prosecute. One ot the charges was perjury, another was fraud. Hi, Lordship: Perjurj and fraud? j Mr. Maddockt-: Oh. ves; it is quite an interesting case. (Laughter).

MR. TRUEMAN'S TRAM-Ri DE. Days of Speed and Strap-Hangers. '1"- I The adjourned summonses against the Mayor, Aldermen and Burge-seas of Neath, brought by Mr. Clement K. Trueman, the well-known litigant, occupied the atten- tion of the Neat/i County Magistrates on Friday afternoon, Mr. E. L. Evan Thomas presiding. The series of summonses had reference to the Neath Corporation tram c?rs; that the tram was n(?t fitted with a suitable fprdaf or governor. Driver Al- bert Pain was summoned for not otoppin? the tram at a street crossing, and con- ductor W. 11 Tuker for aiding and abett- ing passengers to commit a breach of the bye-laws. Mr. Edward Powell defended. After objecting to the composition of the Bench on the but3is of prejudice, Mr. Trueman opened his case by leading the Board of Trade regulations dealing with the provision on the cars of a tendar and governor. After some argument, the Bench dis- missed the summonses against the Mayor and Corporation and Pain. The summons against Inspector Tuker was then proceeded with, for crowding the tranicars. lIe produced the bye-laws, and Mr. Powell admitted the clause. The Chairman; in those daya of speed, we find strap-hangers everywhere. Mr. Trueman: But since the Corpora- tion have increased the faros to my | aristocratic part of Penrhiewtyn, surely I am entitled to a little more comfort. It is a great tax upon my limited in- cume. I itey pack the tram sardine fashion, and the passengers are bound to carry their umbrellas with them on' a wet day, because the rain comes 1 through the r<K)f Air. Powell (interposing): I object to i all this nonsense. Mr. Trueman then went into the box, and faid that on August 11th he I boarded a Neath car, and on the journey the car became overcrowded, eight people standing up inside, and 12 taiid-I on the platform. Tuker was urg- [ing the people to move up to take up more passengers, and that was his objec- tion. The Chairman: If you had boen one of the persons coming in. you would pro- bably be glad to hear the conductor asking the passengers to make room for you. Mr. Powell: Do yo/i agree that this tram 4c:rvico is a great public convenience.' Mr. Trueman: No, an infernal nuisance, I and ought to be serapped. (Laughter.) Tuker, called, said he remembered the incident referred to by Mr. Trueman. The car was full, but there was rOOlll on the doek. On the platform was a pUll with a peg leg and a v.-onian. Cross-examined by Mr. Trueman, wit- iiess admitted that one car had before now carried 100 passengers at a time; but cn I' the occasion which was the subject cf the charge, there was no overcrowding. The Chairman, after a short retirement, caid the Bench considered there had been a technical breach of the law, but having regard to present circumstances, and the necessity for travel, the Bench decided to dismiss the oaee, the C.)rl,,o ration to pay the rosts.

A WITHORAWt ASSERTION RASH SPEAKERS BROUGHT TO BOOK What was announced a.s the first meet- ing of a campaign against State Purchase was held at Pontyeymmer on Friday night, the meeting being organised by the Garw Valley Union of Churches. There was a gathering of about 150, and the -meeting lasted tor three hours. Ultimately a reso- lution afifrming hostility to State owner- ship and State management was put to the meeting, and carried by a majority. Questions put from all parts of the building, however indicated that th2re was a strong feeling among many in favour of State Purchase. Aid. Mallins, of Birmingham, made a long speech, and in the course of it he l???-Ig 6pek'?h, and in t'?ie c(Ilirse oi It ]I"?. ing money to ministers to address meetings for them. The lev. Hugh Jones Llanelly, said that he would not impute any base motives; but if the sons of Wales and her minis- ters were to be bought, God help them! If they were they were not worthy to ascend the pulpit. The liev. W. Saunders, Pontyeymmer; Do. voa believe that ministers who sup- port State Purchase have been bought r' Chairman: Order, please. You can put questions at the end. Mr. Saunders. It is an imputation on the character of ministers, and must be cleared up. Chairman: Sit down, please, you will havt ample opportunity for asking ques- tions. The Rev. Hugh Jones, proceeding, said lie had made it clear that lie would not go so far as to impute motives. He would not like to say that ministers were willing to be bought with money. The liev. J Hughes (Blaengarw): It is not .fair that you should refer to the matter of money. Mr. Saunders: Ald. rdlim has said that ministers are being bought. 40 Mr. Hugh Jones then said that in fight- ing this question it was not a matter of what they were' getting out of 'it, but a far is the question of principle As far as the work- J people of Llanelly were concerned, they were not very strongly against prohibi- tion. His experience in canvassing was that they had most difficulty with re- ligious people. Aid. Mallins wa^ closely questioned at the close of the meetiug with regard to the allegation that ministers were receiv- ing money. Aid. Mallins: I am unable to give more pi-oof than what I have said. Mr. Saunders: Can you give it privately? Aid. Mallins said he gave the statement what it was worth.. Mr. Saunders said he was jealous for the integrity and purity of the ministers in Wales. Aid. Mallins said he did not mean to suggest that ministers opposed to State Purchase would consent to speak for it by reason of a biibe.
