The parties were married in 1905, and as the lady was not very well educated her husband arranged that she should go to a clergyman for a year, he paying X7 a month.

X500 DIAMOND AS A TOY I Four years ago a coalman picked up in the gutter a small chain, to which was attached what was believed to be a bit of glass. He gave it to the children of a neighbouring widow, and they used it as a plaything. One day recently the mother, needing money, attempted to pa.wn it, but the pawnbroker said he would not give sixpence for such rubbish. Nothing daunted, the woman tried a. jeweller, and he, recognising its value, acquainted the police. The bauble turns out to be a diamond worth £500.

??——- ? ?? — "? "Mistake of a Barmaid" -0 CONVICTED PRISONEH TO APPEAL I A prisoner, found guilty at the Old Bailey yesterday of uttering a counterfeit Sa. piece, was granted a certificate of appeal, the Common S-argeant (Sir Frederick Bosanquet, K.C.) being of opinion that the evidence was insufficient. John lee, 42, a coster, tendered the bad coin at a Hatton-garden public-house, and the barmaid declared that he was the man who gave her one a fortnight previously, to which Lee replied that he bad just come up from Swanley. He was arrested. On oath he declared that ho got the coin in change at a Charing Cross public-house, and had no idea it was bad. He admitted it was not true that he had come from. Swanley, but explained, "J had only three days before come out of prison. I knew I wasn't the man who had passed the bad coin a fort- night previously, and that it was a case of mistaken identity, but I also knew if I said I had only just ooroe out of prison the mention cf prison would cause me to be arrested." The Common Sergeant sa,id. "I am of opinion that there is not, enough evidence on which the jury ought, to have found that verdict. I fhall give you a certificate for appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeal, and if you like you can app-eal. I don't think you woufd ha ve been sent here but for the mistake of the barmaid." Prisoner, who said he would avail himself of the certificate, was meanwhile sentenced to twelve months' hard labour.

OFFICER IN DIVORCE Wife Threatened with a Revolver Lieutenant Maxwell Bascham Sayer, B.N.B., was the respondent in a divorce suit brought against him by his wife, Mrs. Alfreda May Sayer, before Mr. Justice Bucknill yesterday. The Petitioner said she was married to her husband in March, 1935, at the Parish Church, Paddington. They lived together at a flat in Powys-square, Bayswater, but he was very unkind to her there. The day following a quarrel he wrote to her: — Oh, my darling, what can I say to you? I just feel heart-broken at what happened last night. I pray Cod I may atone to you for it, my beloved wifey. It will be my aim and so win back your love. This was not carried out, however, because not so long after she was obliged to escape when he threatened her- with a revolver. An agreement was then drawn up between them by which he was to pay her £1\) a month. That was only paid for one month. Mrs. Sayer then found that her husband had been staying with women at Margate, and she filed this petition. Further evidence having been given, his lordship granted a decree nisi with costs.

FOG OFF SOUTH OF IRELAND A dense fog prevails off the South of Ireland, and Atlantic lines, both inward and outward bound, are much delayed. The steam tender Ireland, which left Quoonsto-wn with passengers for the Cunard liner Caronia early this morning, failed to tranship her passengers to the liner, which proceeded to New York without them. The unfortunate passengers will con- seqnently be obliged to wait for Sunday s boat. It, is reported that the Teutonic and Meriou were still delayed in the fog. The tenders that proceeded out later to intercept the Cednc from New York and. the Cymrio from Boston, returned without finding either, and it is supposed that both liners have gone on to Liverpool. FOG AT QUEENSTOWX. The Cirnard liner Coronia, which arrived off Queenstown yesterday morning from Liverpool to embark 130 passengers for America, after remaining for fourteen hours proceeded on her voyage at one o'clock this morning without having taken the passengres aboard owing to the dense fog. During yesterday the tender made several ineffectual efforts to find the liner, and the passengers were finally landed at Queenetown at two o'clock this morning. The fog also prevented the White Star liners Cymric and Cedric. from Boston and New York respectively, landing passengers, and they proceeded to Liverpool. Fog in the Channel The Bristol Channel was enveloped in a very dense fog during the morniug. The sea aad-wind axe perfectly calitu a.nd the. weather very warm. Fog syrons are continually •going in the channel.

AWAITING BUDGET DAY. The approach of Budget. Day finds the usual canvassing of probable, reductions in duties going on in the neighbourhood of Mincing-lane. The sugar trade, with customary opiimism, is looking forward, if not to the abolition, at least, to the diminution of the sugar duty, which at present ranges from 2s. to 4s. 2d. 'a" hundredweight. Quite a. strong hope on the subject is entertained in the trade; and, while a grea,t deal of sligar is being kept in bond, pending the Budget statement, the retail trade is buying only from hand to mouth. It is believed that there will be a reduction in the tea, duty.

Bold Burglars j VOCHRIW POST OFFICE ROBBED Another sensational post-office burglary is reported, the peaceful village of "Vochriw being the scene this time. Early this morning (wires riiytnticv Valley reporter) it was discovered that the place had been entered under circumstances similar iu some respects to the affair at Bs rgoed. A pantry window was again the means of access, and the method of prising it open was almost vicious. The catch was forced completely off and thrown away, whilst aonte books on the window ledge were east out- side in confusion. Upon gaining the iusnlc the glass-panelled door separating the office from the house was carefully dosed, and "business" then commenced in earnest. Naturally the cash drawer was the object of attention, and this al*o was smashed, and a sum of loose money estimated at El was appropriated. Lucikly. the postal orders and other valuables had been <•'arc,fully stowed away in the safe by AIøur in .J 0]1e-3. the poot- niiiBter, and so the thieves got nothing else. The first intimation Mr. and Mrs. Jones had of the affair was when. Mr. Aneurin Jones, yen., father oi the postmaster, and some workmen aromsed the household. It war, then discovered that the front door had been the means of exist, for it was partly The occupants of the Pest-office did not go to bed before one o'clock.

A Revolver Story ENGINEER'S VISIT TO comprON-ST I Mary Morgan, 40, and John Carney, 48, were. charged at Cardiff on Thursday with stealing 1;3 10s. from Albert Healey at 59, Oompton-street. MT. Sydney Jenkins de- fended. Prosecutor, a sea-going engineer, said that at half-past eleven on the evening of April I 25 he met the woman jn st. Mary-street, and accompanied her to the house, when he dis- covered another woman and a man in the I back kitchen. lie gave the woman 10s. in silver, and allegeu ti)-.it she then took from 11:8 pocket £.3 in gold and the change of a sovereign. Morgan wrapt the money in a handkerchief, and said she would keep it until the morning, to which witness de- murred. The woman began to scream upon a revolver dropping from his pocket, and she called the other prisoner, who took pos- session of the handkerchief and money. Repayment was refused, and witness waited in the house two hours alone, and then in- formed the police. j1r. Sydney Jenkins: You took a revolver from your hip-pocket a.nd threatened the woman that unless she paid back the 10s. you would l.oot her?—No. sir. Evidence was then given by Charles Glaa- wY", a lamplighter, who met the female prisoner while on his rounds. She seemed upset, and made a.nxious inquiries for a policeman. She handed him the revolver, in which were three cartridges. At 39, Comp- ton-tstreet, he saw prosecutor, who made no mention of money. Inspector Stephens and other witnesses having been called, Mr. Sydeny Jenkins, addressing the court, submitted that no prima facie cas>o had been made out. With this view the Bench agreed, the Cha.ir- man (Mr. T. Andrews) pointing out that, as there was some doubt, prisoners would have the benefit of it, and would be discharged.

CARDIFF STEAMER'S MISHAP Brave Constables Rewarded On the night of March 28 a collision occurred ou the Thames at Millwall between the steamers Xi 11 ian Stuart, of Cardiff, and the Prince Charles.

Burglary Sensation j a Ten Charges Against an Ex- Sunday School Teacher ALLEGED DOUBLE LIFE I Detective's Story of a Desperate Fight Frederick Spencer, a draper, appeared before the magistrates at leic-eiter on Thure- day in connection with the extraordinary series of burglaries which have agitated the town during the last six months. The num- ber of charges was now increased to ten, nine being of burglaries in the better residential parts of Leicester, and the tenth one of assault on the police. All the robberies were committed on dates between November and April, and on the 9th of the latter month the prisoner was arre.s.ted after entering the house of Mr. Stevens, Hen tOll-road. The accused, a former Nonconformist Sun- day school teacher, is well known in Leicester, and the large court was uncomfortably crowded. The struggle which occurred in Id r. Stevens's hotuse was graphically described by Detective-sergeant Briers. Receiving certain information, lie said, he went to the house, and waited for two hours. He listened while a man worked at the window. Finally Spencer entered the room and switched on a small electric lantern. Briers closed with him at once, and received a blow under the jaw. He drew his truncheon, and after a severe struggle succeeded in hand-cuffing the accused. Briers jiroeeeded to tell how a piece of poisoned meat was found in Spencer's pocket. Mr. Francis Young, an analytical chemist, proved that the meat was loaded with strychnine. There was a. dramatic incident at one point of a landlord's evidence, the clerk passing to the witness a pair of gold sleeve-links. "Do you recognise those?" he asked. The Witness: Yes. They are mine. They were on the dressin=T-table on the night of the robbery. The links produced were found, accord- ing to the police evidence already given, in the prisoner's waistcoat pocket when he waa arrested. A very similar burglary at the Ship Inn, Leicester, brought the latest addition to pao- oooutom into the witness-box. Thi,-? o Mr. Collins, who said lie found his watch- dog lymg dead jn the cellar, and on having :t examined by a veterinary surgeon ascer- tained that it had been poisoned by strych- nine. Further evidence was called to show that a jemmy dug up in Spencer's garden exactly fitted marks on the window of one of the houses which had been robbed. "Without evidence being called in respect of four of the charges on the sheet, Spencer was formally committed for t.rial.

WELSH INDUSTRIES. I Merthyr Exhibition Re-Opened by Mrs. Godfrey Clark. The exhibition of Welsh industries held at the Drill-hall. Merthyr. under the auspices of the Glamorgan Association, was continued on Thursday, the opening ceremony being performed by Mrs. Godfrey Clark. Mr. F. T. James, who presided in the ¡ unavoidable absence of Mr. H. E. Gray, J.P., of Merthyr Vale, said he was pleased to Fee such an excellent show, especially the dis-. play on the pottery stalls Their flannels and homespuns were equal to anything that could be produced in Kngland or in Scot- land, and if they only supported Welsh industries they would both encourage makers and satisfy themselves. Mrs. Clark, who received a cordial wel- come, congratulated all upon the interesting collection of exhibits which had been gathered together. Mrs. Helmo, hon. secretary of the associa- tion for Wales, gave an interesting account of its origin and work, pointing out the stimulus it gave to art needlework and weaving. They now had weavers from Wales all over the world. It was proposed to send an exhibit of art needlework to the Franco- British Exhibition. The Rector of Merthyr, in proposing a. vote of thanks to Mrs. Clark, said that 120 years ogo there were some very excellent woollen factories in Merthyr. There was also an old p.ottery in what was known as Pottery-row. and there were some fine carvers in wood. He hoped that the exhibition would result in inducing young people to take a greater interest in industrial art. The Rev. John Thomas, Zoar, speaking in Welsh, seconded the vote, which was carried. The Chairman mentioned, at the request of Mrs. Helme, that from the sale of Welsh goods sold under the auspices of the associa- tion up to last year no less than £ 25,000 had been paid to the workers themselves. 34r. Godfrey Clark returned thanks on behalf of his wife. He trusted that when they came to balance up there woilld be something to cheer and help the association and a surplus for local charities.

Mr. Oharles Hughes, of Forest Gate, the Municipal Alliance candidate, w as returned, and at the meeting of the board yesterday Mr. "Jack'' Williams supported Mr. Hughes's nomination for a committee chairmanship. He alluded to the election literature, and denied that there had been any corruption. M' Hughes complained that the vice-chair- man had called him a "contemptible cad. He (Mr. Hughes) stood by every statement he had made. Mr- Williams: About me? Mr. Hughes: Yes. Pushing back his chair, Mr. Williams endeavoured to ma-ke his way to Mr. Hughes, hut he was prevented from going far, one member seising him round the waist and a woman member putting her arms round his neck. Ultimately Mr. Williams was persuaded to desist, the chairman in the meantime having adjourned the meeting. When the board re-assembled Mr. Hughes's nomination for the chairmanship was with- drawn.

COSTUME MADE FOR Is. 3d. Giving evidence yesterday before the Home Work Committee, a witness exhibited a cos- tume made for Is. 3d. Out of this, she said, she had to pay for cottocn and her fare to and from the city. She received Is. Id. for machining and 2d. for the finishing. She could not get better payment. She had to get the work from a middleman, because the houses for which the costumes were made would not give the work out in small quantities. The costumes sold for 12s. lid. and 16s. lid. It took fyoru three to three and a half hours to make such a costume when one was thor- oughly used to the work. IV- lien she was in continuous work she could earn from 13s. to 14s. per week.

He was for- mally received by the president of the Liberal Association and prominent members ci the party. The square in front of the Caledonian Rail- way wa.s packed, the crowd including Mrs. Pankhurst and other suffragists. The ladies were, however, quiescent, and any attempt on their part to make ijieir presence felt would have bee,1 drowned in the clamour of cheering. The carriage which was to convey Mr. Churchill from tho station was stopped by the crowd, and there were repeated calls for a ppeech. He said. Gentleman of Dundee,—A great conflict is going on in our country between forces of progress and reaction, hetwe.m forces of freedom and restriction, between private in- i terests and public life.

Church Commission RHONDDA VALLEY STATISTICS When. the AVelsh Church Commission resumed its sittings to-day, under the chadr- manship of Lord Justice Vaughan Williams, Mr. Edgar Bcck Jones, M.A., mas.ter of a secondary school at Porth, and residing at Watt Mown, gave evidence on behalf of the Baptist, Congregational, Calvinistic Metho- dist, V> csle.v a n Methodist, and Primitive Methodist denominations in the Rhondda Urban District.

In 1905. with an estimated population of 125,COO and 21.213 inhabited houseis, there were 151 chapels, The seating accommodation in the was 85,087, sufficient for the whole popula- tion, as children under to-urtet-n could be accommodated in schoolrooms or vestries. The sitting accommodation in the English churches was 22,971, and in the Welsh churches j 62,116. The Welsh Noncci!«ormist chapels were maintaining their position, and large extensions and new chapels had been under- j taken as a, result of the revival. The trustees and officers of the churches were mainly working miners, as were most of the young men raised to the ministry. The manage- ment. of the churches was of a most demo- era-tic character. The pastor ,-L:!I. d officers in I :mo,t charche-i submit almost ail affairs and business for the decision of the mass cf the members.

PILING UP COSTS "Some day imprisonment of debtors will be abolished," remarked Judge Bacon, at the Whitechapel County-court yesterday.

Row in the Street I NEWPORT WOMAN DIVORCED Mr. Justice Bucknill had before him in the Divorce Court on Thursday the petition of Mr. Frederick William Thomas, of Cardiff, for a. divorce, on the ground of his wife's misconduct with a man named Phipps, at Watchhouse-parade, Newport. There was no defence. Mr. Pritcbard stated that the parties we re married oa April 18. 1894, at the parish church of Roath, and they afterwards lived at Ca-rdiff together. There were three children of I be marriage. The peti- tioner, who was a ship repairer's mechanic, and his wife apparently lived happily together until September, 1933, when Mrs. Thomas appeared to have come home drunk. Subsequently iu 1903 she took out a second summons against her husband, and the magis- t rates found that he had deserted her, though, as a matter of fact, she left her hue- band. Three months after this the parties came together again, and they lived together for a t-hoi't time In 1906, however, the husband met his wife with another man in the street, and he remonstrated with her. There was a row. and he -ankl the man had a fight, in which the petitioner got the worse of it. The respondent, so it happened, encouraged the JIlIt111 as a.gainst her husband. In 1907 a.n agreement was entered into whereby the husband conditionally allowed his wife 20s. a week. In February, 1907, the wife took rooms at the house of a man named Charles Howell, at 20, Dolphin-street, Newport, and afterwards at Wat-chhouse-parade, Newport, where she was visited by the co-respondent Phipps. Evidence having been called, a decree nisi, with the custody of the children, was granted.

Eventually lie found that she was living in Cardiff, where she had gone with the co- respondent. A decree nitd was granted.

Mr. Vincent Hill. CARDIFF ARTIST WHO HAS ACHIEVED! FAME. Outside his own family alld <:irck of friends very little is known locally of the successful career of Mr. Vincent Hill, son of Mr. John HilJ, Claude-place, Cardiff, and grandson of the late Mr. Thomas Elliott. Although but 28 yeans of age, Mr. Hill has already won for himself a high place in the world of art, and only this week a marble bust. designed and executed by him, was accepted by the Royal ME. VINCENT HILL. [Photo, Sargent Bro-s. Academy. He was born in Bute-road, and received his early training at the Cardiff Technical School, where he won the gold medal and an exhibition of L33 a year for tfcree years when he was seventeen years of age. These prizes were presented to him by the late Mr. Tom Eilis, M.P. He next won a Royal Scholarship, tenable for two years at South Kenisington. Such was the excel- lence of his work there that, the scholarship was renewed several times, until Mr. Hill won the Boyal Travelling Scholarship, which enabled him to visit nome, Florence, Cenoa, and other Continental centres of art. On his return to England he was commis- sioned to model the very line war memorial to the Black Watch which was recently completed in Edinburgh. He next designed and sculptured a life-siw figure of A SPECIMEN OF MR. HILL'S WORK. John Constable for the entrance-lialU of the new museum in South Kensington. Some time ago he painted a portrait of the Mayor of Fulham for a Church bazaar which was opened by Princess Louise, and her Royal Highness was so impressed hy the painting that she caused Mr. Hill to be sent for and introduced to her. She complimented him upon the exceptionally fillP quality of his work, and not only predicted a brilliant future for him, but promised to give him any assistance he desired. He has evidently inherited his artistic gifts from his mother, who was very clever with the pencil, and painted in water-colours. Mr. Hill is an Associate of the Royal College of Art and of the British School of Art of Rnme, and is at present engaged on the teaching staff at South Kensington.
