ROBBED THE TROOPS. For two hours the Swansea Bench on I Wednesday listened to the defence of a number of men who were charged, two l with stealing and the others with receiv- ing certain property of the Great Western Railway Company. The case for the prosecution had bf'2n heard at a previous hearing, when the chief witness was Det.- Inspector Morris, of the G.W.R. Accord- ing to this witness the goods alleged to have been stolen were consigned to the troops in the distant theatres of war. Edward John Leigh (2S), a soldier now on munitions, and Auber Fermandel (3S), i spelter worker, were charged with steal- ing and receiving these goods, which in- cluded hams, woollen clothing, etc. The?e were defended by Mr. Henry Thompson, who pleaded guilty on behalf of Leigh, and not guilty on behalf of Fer- nandel. In the care of Leigh it was stated that he had served abroad, and had been twice wounded. On his release for muni- tions he was hard pressed by a firm of local furnishers for arrears on goods bought, and just before the theft he had received a letter stating that if the money owing was not forthcoming, the goods would be removed by the firm. Ferman- del's defence was a complete denial. I Wm. Henry (51), coal trimmer, charged with receiving, was defended by Mr. J. Evans Rowlands, who contended that his client had no knowledge that the goods had been stolen. Henry Deans (47), fuel work-s foreman, Joseph Crompton (52), and Peter Fern (45), fuel workers, who were defended by Mr. Edward Harris, also pleaded that they did not know the property was stolen. After a brief retirement the chairman (Mr. A. H. Thomas) said the Bench were I convinced of the guilt of the men. el. referred to the theft as a mean and de- spicable one, which was especially grave in this case, as Leigh was himself a soldier and knew the value of these much needed goods. For stealing the clothing Leigh would i go to prison for six months. On the charge of stealing the biscuits, he would have three months, and for stealing the hams he would receive another three months, the sentences to run concurrently. Fermandel was sentenced to three I months hard labour. < Wm. Henry was firied £ 10 or two j months; and Deans. Crompton and Ferix were fined .£.5 each or one month.

A TIME OF PERIL. I Sir Ellis Griffiths, M. P., addressing a meeting at Holyhead on Tuesday night; said that they were living in a time of; peril, a time when their national life was at stake. There had been a great deal of useless criticism in regard to the war, but unless they helped those criti-j cis-ed to win the war they had better re-, main quiet. A fellow countryman of whom they were proud, had the destiny of the nation in his hands.

TEACHERS' STRIKE. Efforts at a settlement of the assistant teachere' strike in Carmarthenshire iuiido at a conference between members of the Education Committee and representatives of the teachers at Carmarthen on Wed- nesday were unsuccessful. Judge Lloyd Morgan, K.C., acted as independent chairman, and there were present Ald. Ben Evans (Pencader), W., N. Jones (Ammanford), and Dd Evans (Whitland), representing the Education Committee, and Miss Phillips (Cardiff), Mr. Rhys Nicholas (Cwmavon), and Mr. Price (Felinfoel) representing the teach- ers. The meeting as held in private, and at the close the Press as informed that no agreement on the matters in dispute had been reached.
