Bertie Warlow, Robert Street, Milford Haven, was summoned at the instance of Inspector Freed of the R.S.P.C.A. for cruelty to ahorse by travelling it in an unfit state. Inspector Freed called as his first witness Fred. John, Jiving at North Johnston. and employed at the Johnston fish man ure work", who said that on Satur- day, Dec. 20, he saw the defendant leading a horse at Johnston. Witness noticed the animal very lame on the left hind leg and he concluded it was only fit for slaughter. Inspector Freed Do yon think the anima! was in Insli?etor J-'reed Do you tliinii the animal was in a fit state to travel .—No. Defendant: Was I ill-using the horse?-No. Thomas John, a brother of tde last witness, spoke to having seen the defendant in the Vine Inn, Johnston, on the Saturday evening referred to. Defendant told him that he had a horse at the Brick- yard and that he had been unable to get it any further. Witness inquired of Warlow if be had called.on the manager of the manure works and he replied that he had hue that Mr Sutcliffe had gone to Milford. Defendant said nothing to him about taking charge of the horse. Defendant You promised me you would shift it first thing on Monday morning. Witness denied that. Inspector Freed told the conrt that in consequence of information received he visited Johnston in com- pany with P.C. Nicholas on Sunday, December lst, and just inside the brickyard, near the main entrance, he found an aged bay mare. Examining it witness found it to be in very poor bodily condition and extremely lame on the near bind leg, which it held off the ground. It showed signs of great pain and was practically unable to move. The regions of the hip were very much sunk and the muscles appeared to be wasted. All the indications pointed to the lameness being of long-standing. Subse- quently, continued witness, he saw the defendant at Miiford, who said he walked tne mare to Johnston, and that one of the employees at the fish manure works had promised to do away with it on the Monday morning. Defendant denied that the mare was lame on the road to Johnston. On Monday witness saw Mr Sutcliffe, the manager ot the fish manure works, who bad the horse destroyed with a humane killer. Next day witness had a post mortem examination, and he now produced bones of the hind hock to show that the animal was in an advanced stage of caries. In answer to the bench, witness said that caries probably originated with concussion, which led to inflammation and suppuration, finally ending in caries. He thought the disease would have been of at least 12 months' standing. D.C.C. James mentioued that the defendant had been previously convicted for cruelty to a horse at Milford, and he was now fined ;Lt and Xl Ss costs. A fortnight was allowed for payment of the money. NOT OF AN ANGELIC DISPOSITION." Elizabeth Palmer, Llangwm, summoned her husband for dusertion, and she applied for a separa- tion and for a maintenance order. Mr W. J. Jones was for the complainant, and Mr li. D. Williams for the defendant. Mr Jones said the parties were married in 189K, and there were three children. But latterly their married life had not been a happy one, and numerous threats had been made against the wife with the rssult that she was in bodily fear of her husband, and on more than one occasion she had been com- pelled to leave the house. Mr Jones added that he would not go further into the details as he under- stood that Mr Williams was going to consent to the order. Mr Williams: I don't consent to the order, but I don't propose to oppose it. Elizabeth Palmer, the complainant, said her husband was a dockyard labourer earning 21s a week. She was was married in April, and there were three children aged 6i, 5, and 3 years. Their married life had not been a happy one, and at the present Lime her husband bad gone to live with his mother, leaving her and the children unprovided for. On several previous occasions he had done the same thing, staying away as long as ajfortnight at a time. As to acts of cruelty, her husband thought nothing of seizing her by the throat and throwing her outside the door. Mr Jones Has he struck you?—Yes, many times. Continuing, complainant" said that before her husband left her on the last occasion he was ill in bed and she tended him regularly. Then as soon as he was able to get up he went to see his parents, and coming back be ordered her out of the house. After administering to her a few kicks he produced a knife and said "If it was not for one thing I would put this across thy throat." He then went away, telling witness that if she had not left the house by the time he returned he would kill her. She took the pre- caution of leaving before he returned, and she now asked for a weekly allowance and for the custody of the children. Cross-examined, complainant said the eldest boy went back to the father on her advice. Mr W illiams Have you any means of your own ? -I bad a few pounds of my own before I married. And you have them still ?-les. During your married life your husband has given yon the whole of his earnings ?—Yes. Mr Williams said he was instructed that a good many of the "facts" given in evidence were not quite true. The husband, however, did not oppose the granting of a separation order, and left the matter entirely to their worships. He was told that the complainant had not quite an angelic disposition and quarrelled with her husband from time to time. Thf fault, he added, was not all on one side, and he aske<i the bench, in fixing the amount, to take into consideration the fact that the wife had private means. The bench granted a separation, and made an order for the defendant to contribute 7s 6d a week, the father to have the custody of one child and the wife the custody of the other two. DISMISSED. Mr John Griffiths, school attendance officer, Hook, summoned Richard Jones, Llawrenny Street. Nejland, for failing to send his child regularly to school. The case bad been adjourned from a previous court to see if the attendances would improve, and the officer now reported that they were perfect. The case was dismissed, but on the application of the officer, costs were allowed. CHARGE OF TRESPASSING. Horatio Lewis, Dimond Hill, summoned Thomas Evans, Thomas Zermani, and Francis Frank, all of the Merlin's Bridge, for trespassing in pursuit of i conies on December .sth. Frank pleaded "guilty," and the other defendants "not guilty." Mr Howell alters did not sit in this case. Horatio Lewis, sworn, said be saw the three defendants ferreting for rabbits for about an hour. One of them (Frank) was in his field "another was on the hedge ad the other was Palmerston side. Two of the men bad bags on their backs. Cross-examined, witness said there was no right-of- way across where the defendant Evans was standing. This trespassing for rabbits, he added, had been carried on for a long time. Mr Fisher: Did you see the other two defendants in your held ? Prosecutor: I saw them on the boundary hedge. They had been ferreting both sides of the hedge because I saw the marks where the nets had been fixed. The prosecutor also stated that Mr Roberts batcher, had seen the men on his (prosecutor's) land, and the case was adjourned for a fortnight to enable Mr Roberts to attend as a witness. Frank was told that be, having pleaded guilty, need not attend, but Frank replied that he only pleaded guilty to trespassing, not to being in pursuit of rabbits. Clerk You bad better come along too then.

Haverfordwest District Council.…
Haverfordwest District Council. SIXTY-SIX HOUSES TO BE BUILT. IMPORTANT EXPERIMENT. WOMEN 110AD-MENDERS AND HOOK ROAD. The monthly meeting of the Haverfordwest Rural District Council was held on Wednasdjy afternoon, when there were present Nlr J L L'ewellin (chairman), Miss Ch-tinbers, Ee7 H Evans, Messrs W IIovv>i Walters, W Gtorgt? James, S T Williams, Vincent Johns, J C Bowen, T G Lewis, W Evans, J B Francis, W Roberts, T Har ries, W T Jenkins, R N Reynolds, T Mathias, George Jenkins, J Geoigp, W E B"i111S. F P U wyther, W II Davis. T Lewis, E J Mir'in. G S Rjbcrts, and W 0 Griffcih, with the clerk (Mr J E H Rogers). HOOK WATER SUPPLY. With regard to the proposed extension of the water supply at Hook, the Clerk said he had written to Mr Eiton Evans, agent to the Harcourt Powell estate, asking permission to lay the pipes across the Counion. lIe had received a reply asking the Inspector to call upon him to I point out on the ordnance map the proposed line of the pipes. The Inspector had called upon Mr Evans, but no further communication had been received. COMPLAINTS FROM PARISH COUNCILS. i'he Clerk read a letter frcm the Hubberston Parish Council complaining of the condition of the road leading i ifroca Haven's H^-ad to Lyda6tor.. This letter, as well as a letttr from the Walton West iParish Council calling atteution to the dangerous COll- dition of the fence round the Slash Pond, was referred to the Surveyor for a report. STEAM ROLLING OF ROADS. COL. LLOYD'S COX VERSION. The Surveyors for the south and north districts stib- mitted lengthy reports on the CJuditinn of the roads and the mileage which had been metalled during the past year. It was stated that in Wiston and Cimrose especially the quantity of stone delivered by the con- tractors was very short of the amount contracted for, and as tho stone had not been delivered by January 1st it was stated that the Council was under no obligation to receive further supplies. Mr W. Howell Walters remarked that according to their own Surveyors the steam rolling of roads was a real j economy. Only recently he was talking to Col. Lloyd, t who after a visit to Lincolnshire, had found out that the 1 rolling of district roads was a great improvement and most economical. Rev. H. Evans welcomed that announcement, and mentioned that three years ago when he brought forward a motion to have the roads steam rolled Col. Lloyd stronglv opposed it. Mr Walters: It is really a great conversion. FREYSTROP WATER SUPPLY. I Tho question of the Freystrop water supply came before the sanitary committee on the forwarding of a letter from the parish council to the L.G.B., and con- sideration of the matter was adjourned for a month. HOUSES CONDEMNED. The sanitary committee further reported that the North Inspector had inspected fifteen houses, and notice to repair was ordered to be served in two instances. The housiug at Porthgam was reported upon, and it was stated that the owners had undertaken to carry out urgent temporary repairs. The south inspector had reported a house at Cuckoo unfit for humau habitation and it was decided that a closing order should be issued, and that a house at Hook should also be closed. It was resolved that notices to repair four houses should be served. The Inspector submitted a list of houses under repair to meet the requirements of the Housing Act. The report was adopted. HOOK TO FREYSTROP ROAD. The sanitary committee reported having considered the question of the proposed road from Hook to Freystrop, and it was recommended that before further steps be taken the Llangwm parish council be written to asking for a list of local subscribers towards the cost. Rev. H. Evans, in moving the adop!ion of the report, said that when the list of local subsciibers was received, the Council would be very glad to discuss it. A great deal, he continued, had appeared in the newspapers lately concerning the L'augwin women roaduienders, and he pointed cut that the road on which the women hid set to work was the road along the Beach and not the road which the Council were asked to take over. Mr Vincent Johns Is it a fact that this road about which there has been so much fuss abjut at Llangwm is not repairable by us at all ? RRV. H. Evans No. Mr Howell Walters said he hoped the Journalists would make a note of that. Hov. Henry Evans said the District Council, as a public body, Lad been adversely criticised, which he thought rather unfair. Mr W. George James welcomed that statement, because the Haverfordwest Rural District Council had received too much notice in the Press lately. A man of large commercial experience had told him that he knew of no public body in the county of Pembroke who carried out its duties in a more straightforward and t-ffective way than the Haverfordwest Rural District Council. (Hear, hear). The committee's recommendation was adopted. EXPERIMENTAL HOUSING. The Housiug Committee reported that they had met on November 19th and December 21st aud they recom- mended tho erection of houses in the following parishes, provided the Rural Council could obtain land on reasonable terms Boulston 2, Camrose 4. Freystrop 4, St Martin's 2, St Thomas 2, Herbrandston 2, Hubberston 2, Jobnston 2, Llangwm 2, Marloes 2,No!ton 2, Robeston West 2, Roch 2. Rudbaxton 2, St Ishmael's 2, Steynton 4, Ambleston 4, Letterston 4, Llanrhian G. Mathry 4, Whiten irch 4, and Little Newcastle 2; total G6. Mr Viucent Johns said that although a member of the Housing Committee, he felt inclined to move the adoption of the report. He did so for number of reasous. Tho tirat was because they would probably like to know something with regard to the decision of the committee, aud the second was that it was advisable that a member of the committee should move or second the report, so that he could reply if necessary to any criticisms that might be made, as he took it that they would fully discuss the question. The Housing Committee had met on two occasions. The first thing done was that the dirferent parish councils were communicated with, and asked for reports. Then they had full reports from their inspectors, and these reports were considered very fully, whilst they also as fur as they could used their own knowledge of the different districts, to decide which parishes required homes built in them. The committee had taken into account, when presenting this report, the absolute minimum which they considered should be recommended that day. In nearly every case more houses wore recommended for the parishes than the com- mittee had now brought forward. They had endeavoured to bring things down to the absolute minimum for a beginning. They hoped that perhaps it wouLi stimulate landlords when they saw that the Council were not endeavouring to ovcrcram the district with houses, bnt simply deal with urgent cases. He might say that they proposed to approach as many of the landlords as they could in the different parishes, and to ask them for their terms. He added that in each case where it was proposed to build houses the matter would in due course come before the Council again. He moved tha adoption of the report. Mr S. W. Dawkins said they had heard a great deal lately about housing in Pembrokeshire, and he thought that the fair fame of the county had suffered a great deal on account of it. They had heard of the rain coming in on the bods, and of children paddling about on floors ankle deep in mud. If that was the case, then this agitation had done a great deal of good in bringing to the landlords a sense of their responsibilities and duties in the matter. A lot had also been said about the insanitary condition of the cottages, but he knew of two-roomed cottages which would be sanitary but for the filthy habits of the people living in them. There were windows that could be opened, but hardly ever were opened, while soap and disinfectants were seldom used. Under such condi- tions how could houses be said to be in a sanifary condi- tion ? About a year ago the Welsh National Memorial Association sent lecturers round to try to convitce the people of the importance of fresh air and light, and urging them to make the best use of the existing houses. Passing through Haverfordwest one morning after the lecture he noticed that all the windows weie open. Now the enthusiasm bad abated, and most of the windows were shut again. (Laughter). He must point out that the blame for that state of things did not rest wholly on the much abused bui was in a great measure due to ignorance of the laws of sanitation on the part of the tenants. He did not think they ought to ignore the report of the County Medical Officer. There were some cases of over-crowding mentioned iu that report which were really fhocking, but he thought they ought to experiment iu a small way before launching out into a big and expansive scheme, which would add fresh burdens upon the already over-burdened ratepayer. The Chairman Do you move anything, Mr Dawkins ? Mr Dawkins said he would not move anything, but the scheme suggested was a rather big one to start with. Re did not know whether it was the intention of the committee merely to provide houses for their workmen or to build houses wherever there was overcrowding. He thought they could start in a very small way. Mr Samson Williams mentioned that in his village there were eight houses that were empty and he did not think it would be advisable to build four houses at Whitchurch. At Llanrhian, he stated that the ground which had been bought by the company could be used, and he moved that the report as it then stood be not accepted. Rev. H. Evans called attention to the fact that only two houses were recommended to be built at Llangwm. His belief was that many more were needed to meet the requirements of the parish. He did not know what the Parish Council had recommended, and he should not like to go against them. Mr T. Lewis seconded the adoption of the report. In his parish he said that only one house in a desren or two had a room upstairs. They were tenanted by young men with growing families, and if the inspector went to the houses he would probably condemn them. Then where could they go r There were no other houses in Doulston and Uamaston. The two roadmen had to walk three or four miles to their work every dii" Mr Vincent Johns said that Wfore anything could be done a Local Government Board inquiry would be held at which representatives of all the parishes concerned could attend, and bring forward any matter they considered advisable. The two houses in LlaDgwm were only intended aa a beginning, the idea being that they should commence as business men in a small scheme. Mr Samson Williams's amendment was not seconded, and the report was adopted. —————————

Roadmen's Wages. )
Roadmen's Wages. ) INCREASE TO TAKE EFFECT j NEXT APRIL. I HALF-HOLIDAY PROPOSAL SCOUTED At a meeting of the Haverfordwest Rural District Council on Wedoesdiy, the question of the hours worked by the roadmen was raised by Mr T. G. Lewis, who said that the Council having agreed to give the men a living wage there was need for closer supervision. The regulations as to tun hours of labour on the roads were rather lose ar.d indefinite. They were not uniform and he thought that was not satisfactory. The Council were entitled to a go.vd day's work for a decent day's pay. At present ro-idmeu in one palish would leava off work on Saturday afternoons two or three hours earlier than the roadmen in the adjoining parish, and it was the Council's duty to remedy that state of things. He suggested that a committee of three from the North and three from the South should he appointed to draw up regulations, which should come into force on the same day as the increased rates of pay--March 31st. The Clerk said they had regulations that the working hours of the men from November 1st to the end of January should bs from 8 on the road to 5, and from February 1st to October 31st. from 7 to 6. The men were to have three holidays, Christmas Day, Good Fri- day, and Whit Monday. Mr Lewis Anything about Satardays ? The Cierk No. Mr Lewis said these regulations were not carried out. Mr W. George James seconded the proposition and Mr T. Lewis supported. Mr Dawkius asked if there was any need to go into it at all. They should simply instruct the Surveyors to see that the regulations were carried out. Mr James replied that it would strengthen the hands of the surveyors. Rev. Henry Evans thought the hours would require some modifications. He did not think that the Council should iusist upon the men working on Saturday after- noons, as it was againet the spirit of all modern move- ments. They were deserving of Saturday afternoons. (Loud cries of No from the farmer members ) Mr T. G. Lewis said his object was to get the matter discussed, and he thought it would be desirable for the committee to bring up a report. Mr W. E. Evans remarked that every person was awa-re that the District Council workmen were not work- ing full time at present, and it was a physical impossibility for the Surveyors to keep them under supervision. He hoped, however, that they would act in accordance with the spirit of the age so far as Saturday afternoon was concerned. The resolution was carried and the committee appointed.

LOCAL FOOTBALL. MILFORD STARS, 5; v. ST. MARY'S INSTITUTE, IIAVERFORDWEST, 2. This match took place on the Stars' ground, Priory Road, on Thursday last. There was a fairly large crowd of spectatois in spite of the cold weather. The ground was in a bad state owing to the frost. 1St. Mary's brought down a strong team and a keen game was anticipated. Frcm the kick-cff the Stars were quickly on the attack and early tested Rodney, who cleared well. The visitors were slow in settling down and for some time had all their work cut out in defending their goal. After about 20 minutes play Sanderson 6hot a splendid goal for the Stars. St. Mary's were now beginning to find their form and from the centre kick made tracks for the Stars' goal, sending in a shot which King saved. After some mid- field play the Stars were given a penalty through one of the St. Mary's backs handling. Smith took the kick and gave Rodney no chance. The homesters being two up were playing good football, and A King found the net with a long shot. Morse added No. 4 shortly after. Half-time —Stars, -1 bt. Marys, 0. St. Mary's played up the slope in the second half, and from the re-stait were quickly in their opponents' half and sent in some long shots which went outside. Mills and Smith were severely tested, but did well. E Baggott made a good run for the Institute, and, beating the backs, put in a grand goal. This seemed to put fresh life into St. Mary's and for a time they were all over the Stars, D Baggott scoring with a nice cross shot from the left wing. The Stars now had a turn and gave Rodney some hot shots, but he saved well under very difficult conditions. Just before the call of time Morse scored and the Stars ran out winners of a good game by 5—2. Rodney, St. Mary's goalkeeper, gave a grand exhibi- tion, bringing off some marvellous saves. The backs were all fairly safe. The brothers Biggott did well in the forward line, and taken altogether St. Mary's are a good team, but happened to find the Stars on top form. The Stais iinel uded three old players in Sanderson, II Day and Norton James, and all did well. All the team played well together and the perfect understanding existing between the players led to St. Mary's defeat. They have started the new year well; let us hope they will keep it up.

MILFORD STARS H v: II.M S. TERRIBLE AND CANOPUS 1. The Stars have quickly got back to form and on Saturday met a team selected from the above ship". It did not take long to see that the Stars were at their best although playing substitutes for Davies and H Morse. It was delightful football, and the Sailors' defence was soon in a knot. Passes were timed to the inch, with the result that Lewis especially kept swinging in some gloiious centres and placed some grand corners. R Morse made a nice opening for A King to score, and Thomas soon followed with another. The Fleet men were proving a poor combination and their efforts were disjointed, so that H King was only troubled a couple of tirneB.* Before the interval Morse got two more, and then Thomas and Morse were successful. In the seccu J half the game WitS equally one-sided, and although the Sailors managed to fiucl the net once, their opponents continued to revel m goal getting and brought the total to 13-surely a feast for one afternoon. It must, however, be stated that the opposition was but a feeble one, and of course when they meet the Terrible in the League, the Stars will have men of different mettle from this to fight. Still it was a treat to see these boys play such clever football, and if they can keep together Milford need have no fear for the future. MILFORD FEARNOTS, 1; v. LLANSTADWELL, 3. On a neighbouring field to that of the Stars, the above teams, of a more junior class than the Stars, played, but from start to finish it was a crude affair. The Fearnots are far removed from former bearers of that name, and unless they can do better they had better change it. They scored first through Limbiick, but the Rev. Evans, who leads the Llanstadwell boys, scored a good equaliser. The visitors kicked very hard but they are probably new to the code. In the second half the home boys had the advautage of the hill, but on the whole made very poor use of it, and midway through the Rev. Evans got through again for the visitors and before the end he sent in a cross shot which went in off Foster. The Rev. Evans is a former Aberystwyth College player, and would be an acquisition to the local senior clubs, but he rightly choses to encourage his boys. FOOTBALL NOTES. Saturday was a blank day with the seniors at Milford Haven. The Robins were to have played a League match on the Barrack Hill with the R.G.A., but the eo diers were mostly on furlough and had to cry off till another date. A match was announced at a late hour between the Reserves and Herbandston but only a few of the former turned up. The Stars were in great form and look like upholding the prowess of Milford as a heavy scoring district. Next Saturday the Owen Philipps's Cup Ties (1st round) will be brought cff. Two matches will be played at Milford viz the Robins v. Pembroke Dock United and H.M.S. Goliath v. H M.S. Canopus the latter taking the place of the Jupiter. The former game will be worth seeing as the United have come on greatly, as is proved by their two draw games with the Docks, performances which equal that of Milford against the same team. Milford will have to be in form. Another great game will be Pembroke Dock v. Border Regiment at Bush'Street. Gosling is playing a fine game in goal for Llanelly at present, and not many balls have passed the watchful Jim. Interest in the Junior League will be increased from now on. The following is the League table up-to-date. MILFORD AND DISTRICT JUNIOR LEAGUE. Name of Club. Pyd. Won Lost Dn. Pts. Milford Reserves. 4 3 0 1 7 H.M.S. Albion li 2 1 0 4 H.M.S.

In one reel, it concerns the problem of the poor little rich children," who,"while they have all the exterior comforts of life, are sadly neglected to far as affection is concerned, and the ultimate reforma- tion of their parents. The children in question go to the barn one afternoon with their parents' clothes, and invite all their friends to witness their show—admission, two pins. Unwittingly they pIay a drama of their own lives, duplicating their dolls for children. The parents, watching from without through a crack, see themselves as in a mirror and repent. BABY ROSSON.

I Picture Playing for Fun. Four hundred and fifty members of the Rotary Club of Los Angeles visited Universal City recently and took part in Director Henry McRae's two-reel feature, At the Eleventh Hour." Act- ing in motion pictures for pleasure has become a social diversion in Los Angeles. The Rotary Club is made up of business men, financiers, manufac- turers and hankers. The members visited the studios and ranch and were entertained and dined as the guests of Isodore Bernstein, general manager of the western branch of the LTniversal and a member of the club. They enjoyed the make-believe world around them and the miniature cities and streets which are built and destroyed only to be photographed upon a few feet of film. But above everything else they enjoyed acting for the pictures. They made up the crowd around a gallows at an execu- tion scene, and they made an intelligent crowd which could not be duplicated by any number of extra people. The story of "At the Eleventh Hour," comes to a powerful climax when, after William Clifford is convicted and sentenced to death for a crime of which he is innocent, he is about to be executed. The black cap is placed over his head and the hangman's noose around his neck. During this scene the Rotarians made up the spectators and they were told that the execution was to be played through. What was their surprise, however, when at the last moment, Phy llis Gordon, the heroine—her clothes dripping with water, broke through their ranks, fought her way to the scaffold and delivered the message which saved her lover. The remark came from every hand What's being pulled off on us, any way ? and all looked at the heroine. That is just what McRae wanted them to say and think, and that is what he calculated upon when he failed to tell them that Clifford was to be rescued "At the Eleventh Hour." 4D
