".===- RATES GOING UP. ANOTHER 2tD. FOR EDUCATION. HEAVY LOSS IN GRANTS REA IT LOSS IN GRANTS EXPECTED. THE EPIDEMIC MISFORTUNE. THE EPIDEMIC MISFORTUNE. DIMINISHED WHISKY CONTRIBU- TION. There is to be an increase of :Hd in the education rates to be levied in Pembrokeshire this year-2d for elementary education purposes, and id for higher education. The increase in the former is mainly due to the requirements of the Board of Education, medical inspection, and to the prospective reduced grants in consequence of the poor attendance, while the latter is attributed to the diminished whisky contribution and the greater attention to be paid to evening schools and dairy classes. The county finance committee are recommending to the next meeting of the County Council the following rates:- General county purposes, 9d elementary education, Is Itd; higher education, 2d; Welah intermediate education, id. At Friday's meeting of the County Education Committee, the finance sub-committee submitted estimates providing for an elementary education rate of Is lid in the £ Moving the adoption of this report, Archdeacon Hilbers, after thanking the sub-committee for electing him chairman, said that un fortunately he was absent from the last meeting of the finance committee owing to indisposition. In looking through the report he found that there was to be an increase of 2M in the rates. He was sorry that was the case. But in looking through the estimates of the various committees, it was clear that the increase was unavoidable. The three main causes of the extra expenditure were the salaries of teachers, the expenses attached to medical inspection, and the increased loan charges on school buildings. To a great extent all those charges were brought upon the Cominittee by increased demands on the part of the Board of Education, and he did not think that the Government did its duty in giving the committee a fair contribution in return. The rates ought not to have to bear the increased demands made upon them. Proceeding, the Archdeacon drew the Committee's attention to the estimated receipts. The Government grant would be reduced by an amount equivalent to a penny rate on the county. That was greatly to be regretted. The estimate, he believed, had been very carefully drawn, and the result showed a very inferior attendance on the part of the children. He did not know that anyone was actualiy to be blamed for this, because the attendance had suffered very considerably owing to epidemics. So many schools had been closed, and the result had, perhaps, been a want of confidence on the part of parents which made them disinclined to send their children to the school after they were re-opened. General attention, however, ought to be drawn to the fact that the attendance was not satisfactory, meaning a great increase in the rates. He hoped that everybody concerned—magistrates, school attendance officers, and parents, would co-operate to improve the attendance in the schools. Mr W. P. Morgan seconded, and explained that the increase of id in the education rate was chiefly due to the reduced consumption of whisky in the country. Pem- brokeshire had lost about on that account. (Laugh- ter). They were also spending more money ou the evening claises, and especially in teaching dairy methods. A member interjected a remark as to whisky drinking, and Mr W. P. Morgan replied that he did not say that tua reduced whisky consumption was a matter for regret or rej oicing. The Chairman (Mr Sketch) referred to the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer that week in which he had promised that the whisky contribution to the local authorities should be a fixed amount. He was hoping that they would get over that deficiency. He supposed that the Higher Education Committee could not do with- out the extra halfpenny rate Mr Morgan shook his head. The Chairman Very well. We hope to get a good balance. CLOSURE OF SCHOOLS. The attendance sub-committee reported that communi- cations had been received from the Board of Education calling attention to the closure of several schools in the county under medical advice, and stating that the certificates of closure should in each case be signod by the school medical officer. The committee reported that this would be done in future and that the county medical officer would draw up regulations to this effect. The Board of Eiacation also drew attention to the necessity of testing the registers of Dew Street, Walton West, and Spiral schools at least once a quarter. It was reported that the Local Managers had in each case been communicated with on the matter. COUXTY MEDICAL OFFICER. The attendance sub-committee further reported having considered the question of office accommodation for tha County Medical Officer of Health aud recommended (1). That the Medical Officer of Health be given a room, to be used as a temporary office, at 10, High Street, Haverfordwest, at a rent or ïi a week. (2). That a clerk be appointed to assist the Medical Officer at a salary of it;o a year that he should be qualified to write shorthand and to typewrite and should hive had expedience in a sanitary office, or in the Medical Inspection Department of an Education Authority that advertisements be issued at once and the appointment made at the,May meeting of the Council, if possible. (3). That a three-fold screen be provided for each school in the Authority's area for the purpose of medical inspection. (4). That, in order to obviate the cost of conveyiug a weighing machine from school to school, tenders be invited for 100 weighing machines so that a machiue may be deposited in each country school and one in each town. MEDALS AXD CLASPS. It was reported that the following scholars had won medals and clasps for good attendance Warren, Annie Thomas, o years attendance Manor- owen, D. John James, 5 years' attendance Xeyland C., Herbert Bowen, 5 years' attendance Lamphey C., Florence M. Beynon, 5 years' attendance Haverfordwest N.P., George O. Jones, 5 years attendance. Clasps.-Warren N., Edith Thomas and Lucy Thomas Stackpole, W. G. Canton: Haverfordwest N., Emma Jones; Rosemarket, P. G. Johns: Mauordnifi X., Esther A. Thomas Crunwere N., Winifred A. Glanville. In moving the adoption of the report, Mr W. T. Davies said he was sorry to hear of the decreased attendance. The sub-committee, he was sure, had done everything in its power to etfoct an improvement. They had tried several schemes they bad held conferences with the attendance officers, and had appealed to magistrates, but nothing seemed to bring the attendance up to the average of other counties. Really he was at a loss to know what could be done next. With regard to the recommendation to appoint a clerk to assist the county medical officer he proposed that it be referred back to the committee for further consideration. They knew that new Acts of Parliament meant new officials, but as they would be shortly erecting new offices perhaps they would tind that this work could be done by the existing staff. Kev. Henry Evans seconded. REMARKABLE SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. The Clerk (Mr W Davies George) read a letter from the Supply Teachers, at Penffordd Council School, situate on the slopes of Precelly mountain giving some interesting particulars of the attendance at that school. The precentage and average ottendance for the whole year was n, and only two children attending the school lived within a distance of one mile. Those who lived between one and two miles away numbered 21, those who lived between two and three miles away, I t; and those over three miles, one. The letter was greeted with applause. Mr W. T. Davies said the teachers ought to co-operate with the attendance officers and the attendance committee iu trying to get the children to attend school regularly. There was no doubt that several Head Teachers in the county did not do what they could in this matter. He was very pleased at the record achieved by the Head- mistress at Penffordd, and he had heard from Deople living in the locality of her successful efforts in getting the children to attend school regularly. The services of this lady had now been suitably rewarded by being appointed head teacher of tho Milford School. aprr W. Palmer Morgan referred to the several epidemics which had broken out during the last few years. That, to a certain extent, accounted for the bad attendance. There had been epidemics of measles, whooping cough, scarlet fever and diphtheria, and for certain periods nearly one-fourth of the schools in the county had been closed. Then when the schools were re- opened there was always a difficulty in getting the children back to school. That was a fact which ought to be known to the public. The director (Mr H. E. II. James) referred to the inj Gstice of the system under which Government grants were given at present. Thll Committee might consider the advisability of approaching the Board of Education with a view to getting some recognition for work done. At present the grant was based on the attendance, with the result that the schools did not get the grants they ought to get. (Hear, hear.) The Chairman said it was a great pleasure to the Committiee to receive such a letter concerning the Penffordd school. They hoped it would have a moral effect on the teachers. Mr LJ. Rees: As we are to appoint two teachers to-day, II I would suggest that you impress upon them the importance of their taking an interest in this matter of school attendance. Col. Roberts referred to the proposed appointment of a clerk to assist the county medical officer, and asked whether the appointment should not be made by the County Council. The Chairman There must be some definite under- standing with the County Council as to how these expenses are to be borne. Mr W. T. Davies said that the Medical Officer thought it would be better and cheaper in the end to get these weighing machines than to cart a machine from one place to another. It was decided that a standing committee representing ill equal unmoors the County Council and the Education Authority should be appointed to deal with the matters arising out ot medical inspection. The report, as amended, was then adopted.

SERIOUS ASSAULTS AT NEYLAND. FISHERMAN LOSES AN EYE. BOTH MEN FINED. At the Roose sessions at Haverfordwest OD Saturday before Mr Howell Walters and other magistrates, James Glynne was charged on remand with wounding Lawrence Jenson. Both men lodged at Cambrian Road, Neyland. Lawrence Jenson, fisherman, lodging in Cambrian rond, Xeyland, said he remembered the evening of the '24th Mireh, when he and the prisoner were in the kitchen together. They were both under the influence of drink. Prisoner found fauit with him for having used bad language towards a little girl, although he said he used no such language as was complained of. They com- menced to argue the point, and the prisoner declaring that he was the better man, eventually struck him with his fist and afterwards with the tongs. The first blow he received on his head then on the shoulder, and as he retreated. in the back. While witness was on the ground prisoner scabbed him with the tongs in the eye. As a result, he had to go to Swansea and have his eye removed. Prisoner declared that it was Jenson who first struck him with the tongs, and he remembered nothing more until the Doctor came to dress his wound. Jennie Main, a little girl, said the two men lodged with her father. She remembered the date referred to when one of the men used bad language and Jenson took up the tongs and struck Glynne on the head. Glynne after- wards took the tongs from Jenson and running against him the tongs penetrated Jenson's eye. 0 D.C.C. James referred to the fact that Jenson's head was cut as well, but the witness said she did not see any other blows struck. The men were fighting in the passage. Her father came in about five minutes before the police constable arrived. Dr. English, Xeyland, said that early on the morning of March 2.5th he was called to see Jenson, who had a small cut on the head and serious in juiies to the eye, the globe being raptured. The man was afterwards sent to the Swansea hospital. The wound on the head might have been caused by a fall. The charge was reduced to one of common assault. THE POSITION REVERSED. Jenson was then charged with assaulting Glynne. He (Glynne) said he was a. fisherman, and quarrelled with the prisoner (Jenson) for having used bad language in front of the little girl. Jenson struck him on the head until he became unconscious. Prisoner asked whether he (Glynne) had not been prevented from assaulting a man down street the same evening. This Glynne deuicd. Jenson declared that he was not aware there were tongs in the house at all. Evidence was given by Dr. English, who said that Glynne was found suffering from a wound about four inches in length. He was in a rather dazed condition. Jenson said that Glynne seized hold of the tongs and struck him first. The chairman said the bench were quite satisfied that although Jenson had had the misfortune to lose an eye, he commenced the assault. Defendants would be fined £ 1 each and costs.

Alleged Theft of Mackerel. PRISONERS REMANDED. At the Shiro H,t! Haverfordwest, on Thursday, Arthur Harrison, fisherman, a native of Liverpool, and Thomas XuttalJ, a native of Hull, were brought up in custody charged with stealing 10 mackerel and one guard fish, of the value of 5s 3d, the property of Mr W. T. Roch, Milford Haven. Prosecutor said that the fiih were missed from a box of his on the fish market, Milford, between 5 and 5.30 on the previous evening. Evidence of arrest was given by P.C. Thomas, and on the tpp, li-,atioii of D.C.C. James the prisoners were remanded to a special court to be held at Milford Haven next Wednesday.

Milford Haven Sessions. "BLACK LISTER" FINED. STORY OF A STREET ASSAULT. The Milford Haven sessions were held on Wednesday before Dr. Griffith (chairman), and Mr G. H. D. Birt. A STREET ASSAULT. John Jenkins, Waterloo Road, Hakin, and Thomas Banner, Gwili Road, Hakin, labourers, were summoned for creating an obstruction by fighting in the street. Banner now said, in reply to the charge, that he merely acted in self defence. P.C. Griffiths told the court that he saw the defendants fighting in St. Anne's Road, Hakiu, but before witness arrived at the spot they were separated. There was a large crowd present, and Jenkins was bleeding. B-tuner, in explaining the cause of the encounter, said he wis on his way home from Milford when he observed Jeukius insulting an old man named Madden. Seeing Jenkins try to hit the old man down, Banner told him he ought to be ashamed of himself—if he wanted to fight he should hit a younger man. Jenkins then went for him (Banner), and he wa.s obliged to defend himself. Jenkins's version was that he did not hit Maddon. Bauner threatened to kick his (Jenkins's) head off. William Henry Madden, an elderly man, was called as a witness. He said that when he met Jenkins, the latter hailed him with the words Hello, Madden, what have you got iu that ing "Fish" replied witness, when Jenkins said "Soles you all b, eh P" Witness ejaculated Hello, that's good," and Jenkins made a run for him, but his (Jenkins's) son pulled him back. Banner came along just at that time, but witness did not sea the two men fi'jht, as he went into the Bridge End public house to get a drink. Replying to Mr Birt, witness said that Jenkins came for him in a fighting attitude. The Bench fined Jenkins 58 and Banner 2s 6s without costs. IXTEXDED TO BE 4. TJum'UTALER. A blacklister named Albert Edward Potter, Vicary Street, Pill, was summoned for attempting to obtan drink. The case was proved by P.S. Evans who mentioned that defendant attempted to obtain b^er at the George and Dragon, and when asked by the landlord for his name, said it was Jones. Defendant asked to be given another opportunity. He added that he intended to become a teetotaler. A tine of 5s and costs was imposed- DRUNKENNESS. John Gannon, Gellyswick, was pummoued for having been drunk and disorderly at Hubberston on the 11th inst. Defendant did not appear, and the case was proved by P.C. Grilliths. Gannon, who was said to have a bad rec,)rd was fined 5s and costs. Lawrence Birrell, trimmer, Waterloo Road, Hakin, wja fined 5s and costs for drunkerme:j in St. Anne's Road on [April 4th. P.C. Davies who proved the case, Siid that the defendant was intoxicated and was shouting and swearing. There had been a previous conviction. Bertie Kent, of the smack "Bay Horse," did not appear to answer a charge of having been drunk and disordeily. P.C. Bowen told the court that defendart was very drunk in Victoria Road on the night of March 30. His language was very bad, aud defendant wanted to fight at tha Dock Gates. Afterwards he was taken aboard his ship. Fined 2s 6d and costs. William King, fisherman, Wellington Road, was fined 2s 6d and coats for having been drunk and incapable in Hakin, oa March 29. The case was proved by P.C. Griffiths. John Donovan, fisherman, Warwick Road, likewise did not appear to answer a charge of drunkenness in Charles Street, on April 6th. P.C. Williams proved the case. HAVERFORDWEST MAN FIXED. Phillip Herscovic, Bridge Street, Haverfordwest, was fined 18 inclusive for using a cart which had not the t th" owner's name painted thereon as required by law. OBSTRUCTIXG THE HIGHWAY.

Two hilarious deferxlants appeared in the persons of Percy Derge, Wel!ingioa-road, pm, and Edward Thomas, Murray-road, Pill, who pleaded guilty to obstructing the highway by fightiug in Charles Street on April Gth. The men did not seem to realise their position, and laugh- ingly replied to tho questions of the bench. For this they were reproved by the Chairman, who reminded them of the seriousness (f the charge. Defendants were fined '2s Gd each and costs. They were fUioweci the usual l-i days in which to find the money.

Disguised Minister. PEMBROKETHIRE MAN'S INVESTIGATIONS. LODGING HOUSE DISCLOSURES. The Rev. Thomas Phillips of Bloomsbury, who hails from Pembrokeshire, and who paid a visit to Haverford- west a couple of years ago, disguised himself as a tramp in order to investigate the condition of the destitute in the common lodging houses in London. I went in rather late to one of the L.C.C. lodging houses, but I got my kip all right," the reverend gentle- man told a "Chronicle" interviewer. "The difficulty was about supper, for the bar was closed. However an old man—one of the chronics—very kindly sold me a ha'porth of bread, a ha'porth of margarino, and a ha'pcrth of tea out of his locker, and so I did very well, because there is always plenty of hot-water to be had." The lodging-house was pretty fall. There were a few working men, eager to get work, but the bulk of them were unhappy bottom dogs of all classes. A good many were hawkers, otherwise unemployable. I found amongst them University men, public school men, and men who had belonged to almost every profession. They were mostly what the world calls wasters,' though I do not despair of even the worst of them. And they are not, as a rule, criminal, but just idle, with often a tendency towards drink, and generally an attitude of despair, convinced that society does not want them. The ulscussion round the tire was about politics, the last murder, and a leading actress, not notably different, when you come to think of it from the topics that were being discussed in a dozen West-end clubs at the same time. There was a man in the lodging-house who had been ejected from Bloomsbury Chapel a few months previously for disorderly conduct. I recognised him, and he recognised me, but he carried vengeance no further than to nudge his mate and remark, I didn't know that parsons had come to this. The County Council lodging-houses are admirably conducted. The beds are clean, and every man has a cubicle. They are as good as any place of the kind can be. But as I went home in the early hours of the morning I realised the utter hopelessness of it all. To be 1 alone in the streets of London without a penny in your pocket, to have to beg a few pence to pay tor your kip I and your supper, and to look forward to an endless vista of that- as one man whom I met in the lodging-house said—that—or the Thames. i

Pembrokeshire Schools. LADIES AS SCHOOL MANAGERS. A BELATED PETITION. A meeting of the Pembrokeshire Education Committee was held at the Shire Hall, Haverfordwest, on Friday, the members present bein? —Mr S. B. Sketch (chair- man), Mr J. Whicher (vice-chairman). Miss AHen, M'as Thomas, Archdeacon HUbera, Rev. W. Powell, H"w, Henry Evans, Col. W. R. Roberts, Messes W, Palmer Morgan, H. Seymour Allen, E. H. James, Dr. Williams I (Drim), W. T. Davies, W. Lawrence, J. Howard Griffiths c. W. liees Stokes, T. John, Llewellyn Rees, J. H Harries, Jonah Evans, Evan Thomas, and D. G. Griffiths MAXAGERS SHOULD MEET EVERY QUARTER The Board of Education wrote pointing out the serious- ness of not complying with a schedule of the Education Act of 1902 by havicg a meeting of managers at least every quirter, and warned the Committee that neglect to do this might imperil the existence of the school as a public elementary school. MR. EGERTON ALLEN AS SCHOOL MANAGER I To prevent his re-appointment on the New Hedges ( School Management, Mr C. F. Egerton Allen wrote I intimating that be would be unable to act. NEW SCHOOL FOR LLANWNDA. The Fishguard Managers sent a request earnestly I beseeching the Committee to proceed immediately with 1 the building of the new school at Llanwnda iu view of the continual increase in the number of children in that district. The Chairman said there was a difficulty over a right- of-way, but it was hoped that the matter would be settled in a few days. EMPIRE DAY. A communication was received trorn Lord Meath suggesting that Empire Day should be observed through- out the United Kingdom. He trusted that the Pem- brokeshire Authority would sanction the observance of Empire Day in the schools. Col. Roberts enquired what had beeu done in the past years. The Chairman I don't think we have done anything. Mr W. P. Morgan proposed, and Mr Lawrence seconded, that the letter lie on the table. Mr Stokes thought there was a general holiday on Empire Day (May 24), if the Local Managers wished it. The Director: The Committee have allowed the Managers discretion in this matter. They have not made any general holiday. Mr Stokes: The Committee have permitted it to be a holiday if the Managers desire it. The Chairman: We have left it in the hands of the Managers. There has been no decision of this Committee as to a general holiday. Mr Stokes I am very sorry there has not. The resolution was agreed to. A BELATED PETITION. The Clerk mentioned that a petition had been received against the proposed school at Hook. The Chairman said the matter had been finally disposed of by the Education Committee. It could have no possible effect on the Education Authority. Mr James Harries asked if the signatures to the petition were ratepayers or paupers. The Clerk I don't know. Mr Harries Perhaps Rev. Henry Evans can answer the question. The Chairman I must really rule this out of order. Rev. Henry Evaus I have had absolutely nothing to do with it. The Chairman I don't say you did, Mr Evans. Mr J. Harries: I see that permission was asked for the laying of a tram metals across the road, and the Rev. Henry Evans, in proposing that permission be granted, said that things were getting bright for the parish. Rev. Henry Evans said he was very glad to hear of the now railway. He was continuing the discussion when the Chairman rose to order, remarking We cannot enter into that. The only thing we need trouble about is whether we shall not have to enlarge the school later. The petition was not read. NO POWER TO "APPOINT." Dr. Griffith, who wrote regretting absence, mentioned that the buildings committee had appointed a special committee to visit Longstone school. The Chairman pointed out that the buildings com- mittee had no power to appoint." They could only recommend. The Clerk They did appoint. Perhaps they exceeded their powers. It was decided that a special committee consisting of Dr. Griffith, Mr James Harries, Mr W. T. Davies, Mr Lawrence and Mr Ll. Rees, should visit Longstone 011 the following Thursday. If required by Alderman Lawrence the Committee are also to visit Saundersfoot to inspect the school there. TO PREVENT SUSPICION. The furnishing sub-committee recommended that a circular be sent to all the correspondents stating that no coal belonging to the Authority should be used for any purpose other than school purposes. Moving the adoption of the report, Mr James Harries mentioned that the committee were unanimous in making that recommendation. This would prevent suspicion that coal was being used for other than school purposes. The key would be deposited with the cleaners of the schools. The recommendation was adopted. BIBLES FOR THE SCHOOLS. The samo Committee reported that the correspondent of Spittal N.P. School wrote asking whether the Authority would supply new bibles. The Committee referred the matter to the Education Authority for decision on the general principle. Mr Harries mentioned that the Committee were not unanimous on the point. Col. Roberts said he did not think that under the Education Act of 1902 public money could be spent in purchasing Bibles for N.P. Schools. He suggested that a reply be sent to the clergyman making the application pointiug out that grants were available for the supply of Bibles from the National Society and the Voluntary Schools Association. Archdeacon Hilbers said the question arose in 1907, when another school applied for a dozen Bibles. The Committee passed a resolution on that occasion that they were not prepared to accede to the application. As a matter of law he believed they could make the grant, but he was not prepared to advise that they should do so. In the first place the Bibles could only be used for day school purposes, and the children would not suffer by the Authority's refusal to entertain the application, If the Bibles were supplied by the Authority they would have to see that they were not used for Sunday School purposes.. Rev. Henry Evans, speaking with all deference to Archdeacon Hilbers, regretted very much that Bibles were not supplied to the Non-Providod and the Provided Schools alike, so that the children might know their Bible at least as well as their geography. Archdeacon Hilbers pointed out that Bibles were already provided for the Council Schools. Mr J. Harries: It is left to the discretion of the Managers in Provided and Non-Provided 83hools. No pressure is brought to bear upon them from this Com- mittee. Rev. W. Powell failed to see why any distinction should be made between the Bible and any other book. The Bible was a book, and should be included in the requisition list like any other book. Archdeacon Hilhers proposed that a reply be sent to the Spittal correspondent stating that the Authority were not in the habit of supplying Bibles to :N .P. Schools. Mr W. P. Morgan seconded, and the resolution was carrier). A ROUGH PLACE. The staffing committee recommended that the Managers be empowered to appoint a male head teacher at Little Newcastle School, aud suggested the name of Mr W. Bowen Lewis for the appointment. Mr James Harries, remarked that Little Newcastle was a rough place, and they could not get a female teacher to go there. Mr Lewis was willing to start at £ 80 a year. He did not think that X70 was adequate remuneration for a teacher with Mr Bowen Lewis's attainments. The Director pointed out that the salary was according to scale. Mr James added that the bogey of discipline never arose in the case of a capable headmistress any moio than in the case of a capable headmaster., The report was adopted. LADIES AS MANAGERS. Miss Rachel Allen moved that it be a recommendation that each body of school managers should contain at least one woman. Miss Allen thought it would be to the advantage of the schools to have ladies represented on the management. At present there were only three ladies school managers in the whole county. Archdeacon Hilbers agreed that it was advisable that ladies should be on the school management. The resolution was carried. I

Hubbeston Parish Council. At the annual meeting of the Hubbeston parish council, Mr J. Rees was, on the motion of Mr James Jones, seconded by Mr J. Adams, re-elected chairman, and Mr James Jones was re-elected vice-chairman. Mr Robert Henderson and Mr James Davies, Golden Grove, were appointed overseers for the ensuing year, and on the motion of Mr John Adams, seconded by Mr James Jones, it was decided that a precept for £ 12 for next year be issued on the overseers. It was resolved that a letter be sent to Mr Belton, of Gellyswick, requesting him to put the well there, and its approach in a good sanitary state. A discussion took place as to the state of the footpath from Victoria Bridge towards Hayens Head, and it was decided to send a letter to the JJistrict Council calling attention to the matter. It was mentioned that pools of water and dangerous places abounded. ¡

I Roose Petty Sessions. I WRECKAGE NOT REPORTED. I SKIPPER FINED. The Roose Sessions were held at the Shire Hall on Saturday, before Mr W. Howell Walters (in the chair) Mr J. T. Fisher, Mr Isaiah Reynolds, and Mr V oyle: who took his seat as the newly elected chairman of the Neyland Council. I AN OLD OFFENDER. John Gannon, ot Gellyswyck, against whom there were 33 previous convictions, was fined 10s and costs for drunkenness and disorderly conduct in Neyland. Defen- dant did not appear, and the case was proved by P. C. Thomas, who mentioned that the disorderly conduct consisted in shouting. I ALLEGED DRUNKENNESS AT ST. ISHMAEL'S. I William Jones, St. Ishmael's, was summoned for drunkenness in the village of St. Ishmael's. Defendant denied the offence. P.C. Miles told the bench that defendant was stagger- ing about at midnight and shouting "MrDavies is a b- good man." Jones denied on oath that he was in the village at the time mentioned by the constable. Henry Jenkins, bootmaker, St. Ishmael's, swore that Jones was perfectly sober, and scarcely took beer. He was with him at Trewarren that evening, and heard him say that he drank two penny mugs of beer. (Laughter). The witness remarked to the amusement of the court that it was not safa to go out in St. Ishmael's at night, as the constable was always dodging about under the hedges watching people. Harry Davies was also called as a witness, and said that Jones was sober that evening. He did not hear the constable iemonstrate with the defendant about his conduct. D.C.C. James Can you suggest any reason why this constable should swear that Jones was drunk when he was sober and was not there at all ? Witness No. James Griffiths, Winsle, also said that Jones was perfectly sober, and witness accompained him to his home. The case was dismissed. I MORE EXCITED THAN DRUNK. Elizabeth Sharpe, James Street, Neyland, was sum- moned for drunkenness and bad language at Neyland. Defendant appeared and said she was more excited than druuk. She was very sorry the offence had occurred. It was pointed out that there was a previous conviction against the defendant, and a fine of 58 and costs was imposed. I NEYLAND WOMAN -tINED. I Millie Harries, of Charles Street, LNOYland, whose case was adjourned from the last court for the production of witnesses, was summoned for the use of obscene language in Charles Street, on the evening ot March 31st. Defendant was shown the bad language alleged to have been used by her, and she indignantly denied the charge. P.C. Thomas told the court that Mrs Harries was quarrelling with a man who, she said, had chased her child on the previous evening, and was using very bad language.. Was quarrall- Fred Jenkins corroborated. Mrs Harnes was quarrell- ing with him when the police constable arrived on the scene. He had not chased the woman s child, but he said to the child "If you say that again, I will screw your blomin' little neck." Defendant denied having used the language alleged, and was supported by the evidence of Lily Payne, Charles Street, Neyland. A fine of 2s 6d and costs was imposed. I WRECKAGE NOT REPORTED. Mr James Pick, until recently a customs Officer at Neyland, summoned Harry James, master of the smack Dora," for having in his possession certain wreckage and failing to deliver it to him as received. Mr R. T. P. Williams, solicitor, who appeared for the prosecution, said the summons was issued at the instance of the Board of Trade, and was under sectioir 518 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, by which the defendant was liable to a fine of £100. The defendant was master of the smack Dora," and left Brixham on December 27th. Two days afterwards, while fishing off the Eddystone lighthouse, two casks Of Oil were found floating in the sea and taken on board. The smack arrived at Neyland on January 6th, and it was the defendant's duty to at once deliver the casks to the Receiver of Wrecks for the district. Instead of doing so, defendant sold the casks for 10s each, and went on another trip. When he came into port again, he wrote a letter in which he said he was not aware that the casks were of any value, and that he gave them to a man who had wanted to paint a ship, as he was anxious to get them free of the deck." The casks were valued roughly at 308 each. Defendant, who admitted the offence, said that two men, J. Hughes, painter, and W. J. Lewis, engineer, High Street, Neyland, came to the ship, and he gave them the casks. They would not take them for nothing, and each gave him 10s to give to the members of the crew. This was only his second trip to Neyland, and he did not know there was a customs house in that town. Neither was he aware of the fact that he had to report II the picking up ot such wreckage. When he knew that there was oil in the casks he had a mind to throw them over board again, as if a light came near them, it would have been Good-bye, Dora." As the costs were heavy a fine of 10s only and costs was I imposed. _—— )
