Adjourned for a Month I GRIEVANCES REFERRED TO COAL BOARD Stipendiary as Peacemaker When the ordinary business of the Aber- dare Polioe-court was coii^hi ded yesterday iMorainig .an .ad.k)urnanen-f of iialf-aai-ihour was announced before proceeding with the summoHTO taken out by the Powell-Duffryn Company against a number of workmen lor absenting themselves from work. The streets within the precincts of the police- court and of the Markot-hall^where a meet- ing of the men had just come to an end, were simply flooded with people. M. HallD and Mr. George Haini were treated to considerable hooting on their way to the Black Lion Hotel, and the fact is that the feeling of the crow d was intense. Murmurs of threats were to be heard on a.'l hands, and it is no exaggeration to say that the pœition looked a most serious one. lir. Stanton was, however, fortunately a.t hand. and interposed to check the disturbance. On the resumption of the court there was a large crowd outside the building, but Superintendent Gill and Inspector Nott had made satisfactory arrangements with a view to coping /with any pressure which might oe experienced. The number of men who nad been summoned was 67, made up from the following collieries :-Araman Pit, 10; Clay Level, 2; Treaman, 10; Lower Duffryn, 10; Fforchaman, 10; Cwm Neol, 10; Lletty- ehenkin, 10; Abercwmby, 5. Mr. C. W. K?nshole appeared to prosecute on _beh:?Uf of the company, and Mr. W. P. Nicholas defended the men. Mr. IV. Thomas, solici- tor to the Aberdare District of the Miners Federation, was also present in court. Mr. C B. Stanton, who had made several anxious journeys from the Market-hall to the police- court during t.he morning, occupied a seat in the well of the court. The first case called was that against John Prit chard. STIPENDIARY AS PEACEMAKER. The Stipendiary (Sir Marchant Williams) intervened, and said before they entered into those cases he wanted to make one or two observations. In the fimt place, he was glad to see on one side Mr. Nicholas and on the other Mr. Kenshoie. They had been before him T3any times and fought disputes between the masters and men with fairness and as much ability as it was possible to display in a court of justice. Sometimes one side had lost and sometimes the other side had lost. He (Sir Marchant) was there to administer justice, and that, of course, he would find no difficulty in doing fearlessly and regard- less of consequences. He had no doubt what- ever that both parties would admit that he was absolutely disinterested, but before they went into these cases-and he was prepared to go into them all--he suggested that they should try to see if there was a way out of the difficulty. Therefore, he suggested that Mr. E. M. Hann, whom he was pleased to see there, and Mr. Kenshole, on one side, and Mr. Nicholas and Mr. Stanton on the other, should retire with him into his private room and discuss the situation with a xiew to see- ing if there was some means of satisfactorily adjusting the difficulty between one side and the other. He (Sir Marchant) expressed no opinion. He was not entitled to express an opinion, as he knew nothing at all about the facts, but it would possibly serve a usful purpose if they went into the other room to see if there was a way out of the difficulty before the law was put into foroe. A PRIVATE CONFERENCE. Mr. Kenshole eaid he appreciated tee stipendiary's object in making these remarks, a.nd he would be glad. with Mr. Hann. to retire and discuss the matter with the other side and the stipendiary. Mr. Nicholas observed that he was much obliged for the words which had fallen from Sir Marchant. He (Mr. Nicholas) felt acutely the responsibility attaching to these proceed- ing., and he could see a possibility of the proceedings having far-reaching conse- quences. He was very anxious that a way might be found out of the difficulty, and he readily aaeented to Sir Marchaut's sugges- tion. Thereupon Sir Marchant, Mr. C. W. Kenshole, Mr. E. M. Hann. Mr. W. P. Nicholas, and Mr. C. B. Stanton retired into the stipendiary's private room to discuss a possible agreement. During the period of retirement,, wnicu was a long one, there was some good-natured chaff between Mr. George Hann, who sat in the well of the court, and some of the defendants sitting behind him. At a quarter past two Mr. Niohola.s and Mr. Stanton emerged from the stipendiary fl room, and were immeciitately followed by Sir Marohant WiUiaans, Mr. E. M. Hann, and Mr. Kenshole. AN AMICABLE ARRANGEMENT. Amidst absolute sileaoe the stipendiary sa.id that thfcy'had had a long absence from the oourt, but he was happy to say that the time had not been ill-spent. In the first place, he (the stipendiary) said that he must express his gratification at the perfectly good feeling tha-t had prevailed during the discussion on both sides. The matter was gone into very carefully, discussed from every point of view, and eventually both sides had agreed to the following terms:- It is admitted tha.t there has been a breach of contract on the part of the workmen, and it is admitted that the cotapany are entitled to such damage as they can establish from every one of the workmen. But with a view of esta-bliehing a better feeling between the employers and the workmen, the agent, Mr. Stanton, and the workmen undertake that in future all grievances shall be dealt with in accordance with Clause 5 of the ooocalia- tion agreement. And the workmen request that the management shall forego the present claim for damages, the ca..<aes to stand over for a month to enable the matter to be brought, u.p before the owners' side of the Conciliation Board. The men to return to work at once. Thus it was admitted that there had been a breach of contract on the part of the work- men—there could be no dispute about that. It was also admitted that the company were entitled to such damages as they could estab- lish in that court from every one of the workmen who had absented themselves from "ork, not only that day but the other days. In order to establish a better feeling-beteween the employers atid the workmen Mr. Stanton, the agent, had agreed to undertake that any future grievances be dealt with in accordance with Clause 5 of the Conciliation Board Agreement. At the request of the workmen the company had undertaken not to press the present claim for damages, and the cases would stand adjourned for a month, to enable the matter to be brought before the owners' side of the Conciliation Board. SIR MARCHANPS- HOPE. The Stipendiary proceeded to say tJIat the workmen should proceed to work a.t once—the night men to do ao that evening and the-day men to follow suit on the morrow. He hoped that they would hear nothing more of the matter. (Loud and prolonged cheer- ing.) He expressed the hope that any disputes that might occur in future, as doubtless disputes would occur, would be referred to the proper authorities for settling disputes. (Hear, hear.) He would not tay anything further that day. There were grievances, some of which were sentimental. some imaginary, and some real. The fact, was that there were always grievances occurring in connection with every industry. He hoped that the past would be for- gotten. The company, as he had already said, were not going to press their claims, and the whole matter would b^ referred to the Conciliation Board. He had every confidence that Mr. Stanton and the workmen, on the one side, would carry out their undertaking, and he was equally confident that the masters would act likewise. That was all he wished to say on the matter. Mr. Nicholas, speaking on behalf of the workmen, said that he recognised that the terms of any agreement should be loyally and strictly adhered to. It would be useless on his part to conceal the fact that there had been a breach of contract, while it behoved him to say that any agreement entered into between employers and their workmen ought to be regarded as a sacred document, and should be executed with absolute loyalty and strictness. The decision which had culminated from the deliberations in the stipendiary's private room to a concession on the part, of the company to the men. and a conceeHKm to him and to Mr. Stanton as a means for the establishment of a better relationship between the workmen and their employers. (ClioeeTI-l.) lie (Mr. Nicholas) would be shirking his duty if he did not point out that a contract was to le regarded by both parties at its true Talue. It would be a sorry day berth for the work- men and their emiployea-s if the terms of a contract were not strictly adhered to on both side, He appealed to the work- men whom he bail the honour of repre- senting to loyally observe the terms of the provisional settlement that had been effected. He aeked them to go to their work, and to display, during the month the cases would be adjourned, their anxiety and determination that the past should be buried. (Applause.) He deprecated such stoppages. He did not wiah to diectrss wh&t the newspapers said as to the loss being on one side. That was not so, but he would not be worthy of his position if he refrained from the statement that there was am. absolute obligation on the part of the workmen to observe to the letter what waa written within the four covers of any contraot they ha,d signed. Mr..Nicholas concluded by pay- ing a high -tribute to the attitude--which the stipendiary had taken up, JI.nd -thanked his. worship for has good offices in the matter, adding that if the decision arrived at had not been effected the probability was that the position would have become most serious j throughout the coalfield. SERIOUS IMPASSE AVERTED. Mr. Kenshole followed, and said that when it was admitted on behalf of the workmen that a breach of contract had been com- mitted, that the company were entitled to be paid such damages ag they could prove, and that the agent had undertaken that any dim- culties whkh ni?ht arise in the future be dealt with in a cot;ntkmal way, the posi- tion of Mr. E. M. Hann and himself was rendered much easier than otherwise wouM have been the ease. The Conciliation Board agreement existc-d for the adjustment of matters between capital and labour. That agreement had been the result of weeks'— nay, of months'—deliberation. When a body Of workmen ignored the terms of that agree- IThÐut and took matters into their own hands, as had been the case in the present instance, it was a. serious matter for a. concern of the magnitude of the Powell Duffryn Company. Mr. Stanton had been good enough to give his undertaking that the terms of the Con- ciliation Board Agreement would be carried out in' future, and that any grievances which might arise would be submitted for settle- ment to that board. Mr. Kenshole concluded by expressing his obligation on b-olialf of his clients to S.ir Marchant for having taken the matter up in the way he had done, and, doubtless, his good offices had averted a very serious impasse. THE MEN" COMPLIMENTED. The Stipendiary: I am very much obliged for t.he words with regard to me personally. I was very much struck this morning with the quiet demeanour of the men in tae streets. Nothing could have been better. I hope that the men will now disperse and go to their homes peacefully and quietly, thereby carrying- out to the end of the day their good conduct of this morning. The way they have acted is worthy of the best types of the workmen of any coalfield, or of any industry in the world. (Loud cheers.) The summonses were adjourned for a inonth. the grievances to be submitted to the Conciliation Board.

i M K. STANTON SHOULDERED. CHEERS FOR THE AGENT AND SIR MARCHANT. • When Mr. Stanton emerged from the police- court after the proceedings he was quickly surrounded by an enthusiastic body of work- men who applauded heartily, and Mr. Stan- ton was carried shoulder high to the Market- hall, where another meeting was held. Mr. Stanton was presented with a gold-mounted walking-stick. Addressing the men, Mr. Stanton said that all was well at the present time, but if the Conciliation Board failed to agree then they would be in the same position as before. Would they then be prepared to act as they had now done? The men exclaimed that they would be so prepared. Mr. Stanton hoped sincerely that there would be no need for any further drastic action- Cheers were then raised for the agent and for Sir Marchant Williams for the very fair attitude he had adopted. Mr. W. P. Nicholas also addressed the meeting, and practically reiterated what he had said at the poliee-oourt. MABON DENIES INVITATION TO MEETING, Interviewed by one of our representatives on Wednesday, Mabon, M.P., w'ho was rather reticent, but most courteous, said:- If Mr. Stanton has been rash enough to advise the men to come out I hope that they will not obey his command in that particular respeot. Mabon. went on to say, in reference to Mr. Stanton's sitatemlenrt that he had wired to his oolleagues asking them to assist him at the Aberdare meeting that day, that he denied having received any such invitation. There were, he added, developments which would no doubt come out later on. He would give no further opinion because a meeting would be held on Friday next to consider the whole position. DENIAL FROM DOWLAIS AGENT. I Mr. John Davies, miners' agent, Dowlais, seen by our Merthyr representative on Wed- nesday afternoon, saad: -I did not receive any invitation from Mr. Stanton to go over to Aberdare or Aberamaii. 1 have not heard a word about it. As to the action of the agent, I feel that I must decline to express an. opinion. MR. WATTS MORGAN ALSO IN I THE DARK. Mr. D. Watts Morgan, agent to the No. 1 (Rhondda) District of the South Wales Miners' Federation, stated to a representa- tive of the "Western Mail" that he had not heard anything whatever of a meeting to be held at Aberdaure. Had he even been notified, it would have been impossible to attend it at such short notice, as he was busily engaged in settling two or thfree dis- putes in his own immediate locality. FEDERATION MEETING ADJOURNED. I A meeting of the executive council of the South Wales Miners' Federation was con- vened for Wednesday at Cardiff, but, inas- much as one of the questions to be consi- dered affected Mr. C. B. Stanton, it was adjourned until to-morrow. WORK RESUMED TO-DAY. u Work -was resumed, at aJ1 tJie Powell Duffryn CoiTLteries at Aibenaman this I morning.

SKULL SMASHED I Cashier's Awful Death. I ELLWOOD SENT FOR TRIAL I A further staee was reached in the Bradford office murder trial on Wednesday when at Bradford City Police-court, before the stipen- diary magistrate (Mr. H. W. Wilberforce), John William Ellwood, aged 44, insurance agent, was brought up-on remand charged with the wilful murder of Thomas Wilkinson, cashier, on Friday, July 31, at the town office of Messrs. Fieldhouse and Jowett, dyers. Mr. C. F. Lowenthal. barrister, conducted the prosecution on behalf of the Treasury, and Mr. (haries h Atkinson appeared on behalf -of the accused. Ellwood stepped forward quite briskly. He was looking wel!. and during the evidence he seemed as unconcerned as ever. The first witness called was Dr. F. W. Eurish, hon. physician at Bradford Royal Iutirraary, who gave evidence to conducting a post-mortem examination of the body of Wilkinson on Saturday. August 1. He said there were five sma.11 bruises on the back of the left wri?t. a mall bruise over the right kn-<a.p, and a Plight abrasion, with bruis- ing on the last joint of the righ middle finger, the last joint of whkh was fr 'Z ,L?'d. There were also various other comparatively slight injuries over the right. shoulder and over the bridge of the nose. Two inches above the right ear there was a triangular wound penetrating to the covering of the bone. Behind and below this there was a rugged incision penetrating almost to the bone. Other lacerations and incisions were minutely described by the witness, who said that in many cases the bone was splintered. In the case of all these wounds the edges I were ragged and bruised. Part of the brain was reduced to a pulp. Internally the post- mortem appearances confirmed the external appearances. There was an extensive effu-I SMn of blood under the scalp. The cause of death was laceration of the brain and a com- pound fracture of the skull. Mr. Lowenthal: Were you able to form any opinion as to how these wounds 7I have been caused? Witness: They must have been caused by repeated application of external violence with a sharp or a blunt instrument, and a considerable amount of violence must have been used. The injuries, witness added, could have been produced by the use of an instrument like the poker produced. How many distinct blows upon the head of the deceased man must there have been in- flictrd-at least, in what position must the deceased have been when the heaviest wound was inflicted?—He must have had his head bent down. Dr. William Teael-i Wilson, house surgeon at the infirmary, deposed to the removal to that institution of Wilkinson, who was admitted unconscious at three o'clock. He died at seven o'clock the same evening. The witness confirmed the evidence already given of the post-mortem examination. Dr William Wrangham, chief police sur- geon, also confirmed the post-mortem evidence. He stated that he received from Chief Detective Inspector Talbot the brown suit (produced*. There were twelve blood- stains on the coat, two on the trousers, and one on the cap. The poker (produced) also bore splashes and stains of blood. Mr. J-owentlial: Did you also examine the prisoner on August 1? Witness: I did. Did you find upon him any sign that would account for the blood of th-ese clothes?—I did not "SPEAK THE TRUTH, YOU LIAR." Detective-sergeant Knowles said that on the night of July 31 he received a communl- I cation from the witness Pollard, and in con- sequence of that he went to Edinburgh- street to the house occupied by the prisoner a.t a quarter to five o'clock on the following morning. The prisoner, who was only partly dressed, came downstairs and opened the door. Having admitted the witness he went upstairs to finish dressing. The detective cautioned him and said, "I am going to apprehend you on suspicion of having caused the death of Thomas Wilkin- son." He replied, "I know nothing about it, but I will go with you." The witness then took him into custody, and removed him to the Town-hall, where he was identified from among seven other persons by the witness Pollard. After he had been thus identified, the witness again cau- tioned and charged him with causing the death of Wilkinson. He made no reply, but folded h.is arms and dropped his head. At this point the prisoner, who had been accommodated with a seat in the dock, leaned forward to the witness, and said, "Speak the truth, you liar." Mr. Atkinson, solicitor, advised the prisoner I, to make no comment on the evidence. Continuing, Detective Kaowlee said that at the Town-hall he searched the prisoner, and found amongst other property six penny postage stampe. These were all in one piece. Mr. Lowenthal said that this was the oaee for the prosecution, amd upon that case he asked the magistrates to commit the prisoner for trial on a charge of murder. Ellwood was then asked if he desired to say anything in answer to the charge. Mr. Atkinson, on his behalf, replied: He says he is not guilty, and on my advice he reserves his defence. The Stipendiary Magistrate: Do you desire to call any evidence? Mr. Atkinson: Not at present. The Stipendiary: Then you stand com- mitted to take your trial at the next Leeds Assizes. The prisoner then stepped briskly down from the dock, and on his way to the cells below he paused and nodded familiarly to several persons whom he reoognised in the public gallery.

Girl's Adventure. I CURIOUS NEWPORT SrORY I An extraordinary story of the confiding innocence of a Welsh girl was told in the magistrates'-court at Newport on Wednes- day. A young man. of smart appearanoe, who at first gave the name of George Edwards, but was otherwise known as Thompson, and also as Piper, from Brightan, was charged with stealing Is. lid. and a parcel of female underclothing, the property of Emily Maud Davies. aged 22, a young woman dressed in mourning, and, further, with steading a sovereign from a woman, whose name was unknown. Head-co nstable Sinclair informed the magistrates that, as the result of inquiry, he was satisfied that the young woman Ean'ily Maud DaTies was a highly respect- a/ble woman. Her etory w.aa that she had been in service in Pembrokeshire and at Sketty, near Swansea, where she understood her father was a tailor, but she had not been able to find him. Her mother was dead. Having completed her service at Sketty she went last week to Cairdiff. But she was told that Cardiff was a wild place, and thereupon, puttin.g heirself in the hands of the police, she -stayed a night at the police-station, claid one night at the Salvation Army Home. On Thursday she went to Newport with the intention of seeing the vicax, to ask him to get a situation for her. She met a young man (a stranger), and he took her to his parents' house, where she stayed that night, with. the consent of the parents. The next day, whilst at the railway station, she met the prisoner, who got into conversa- tion with her, and accompanied her a.bout the town. As she had no pocket in her skirt, she asked him to take care of the little money she had (Is. Hod.), and her loose parcel of clothing. He said he would treat her to tea. They went about Newport, and finally he invited her to g6 to London with him, saying he would take her to his mother, who would be clad to welcome her. She con- sen-ted, and he saw to the cording- of her box in the cloak room. Whilst waiting for the train at 12.50 a.m. on Saturday (an excursion) a woman, who was at the railway station, got into conrersation with them, and when it was time to see about the tickets, she (.the other woman, who was a stranger) got up. and said, "I had better see about getting: my ticket." Prisoner got up. and said. "No, no; I'll get the three tickets." The woman bauded him a, sovereign for her ticket, but prisoner did not return, and the woman had to get another ticket when the train came in and wtsut off to Lon- don. She had not yet returned, and it was not known who she was- Prisoner was arrested later the same ) at the Victoria Tem- night (or early morning) at the Victoria Tem- perance Hotel, Bridge-street, where he ten- dered the sovereign in payment for his bed, and said he wajited to be up early in the morning to go to Cardiff. The parcel of clothing was found under his bed. Whilst the case was in progress and the Bench was putting searching questions to t,he young woman she gave way to tears and declaml that f<he had no wrong thoughts in her head at all when she met either of the young men at Newport. Prisoner pleaded not guilty, and said Emily Maud Davies gave him the money to pay for the t-e-a. The Bench found that it was a crur-I tliett ajid, having looked at. his record, sent him to prison for three months. At the close of the case the presiding justice (Mr. A. J. Stevens), told the young woman not to be so confiding in young men in future. She again r ro-tested that she had no bad iTstenftkms, and that when sho got to London she would have gone to the Church Army Home. Superintendent Brooks said for the present she was being looked after at the Reaone j Society's Henne in St. Mary-street. J

DREYFUS NO. 2T '————— m ■ « Norris Again in Court BOUND OVER FOR USING THREATS. Penarth Police-court was again crowded on Wednesday, when George Lewis Nûrris was charged by William Lomghunst Morris with using- threats towairds him. Mr. Morgan Rees, solicitor. Cardiff, appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Norris fought his own case. I Rising in the court, he remarl,.Id- Youi I worships, I have the honour of appearing before you t.o defend myself. I am Dreyfus No. 2 and Sievie/r No. Z." Dr. Howell Rees and Mr. J. G. Thomas, the magistrates, granted Mr. Morris's request for all the witnesses to be ordered out of court. Mr. llees said the complainant had lived in the town for some 50 years, and had always been a respected public aer-vant on the dis- trict council, board of guardians, ard other public bodies. Until early in this year the complainant and defendant had been. on friendly terms, but in February, when defen- dant started issuing circulars containing allegations against the chamber of trade and district council, complainan.t once said: — Don't follow me about; I don't want these circulars. Since then the defendant had been con- tinually annoying him and accusing him of getting his private improvements done at other people's expense. About nine o'clock on the morning of the 12th complainant was talking to Mr. White, when the dc-fendaait came up to him and said: You and that Sam Thomas have not got me in gaol yet. Complainant took no notice of him, where- upon the defendant said: You will have to face it in the dark down there and go through it, at the same time shaking a stick. Mr. Norris was a small Inaal, but oomptam&nt owned a farm down at Lavernock, and on a winter's night it would be very easy for a little man to hit Mr. Morris with a stick or bludgeon. Mr. Morris bore out his solicitor's state- men t, adding that every time except once the defendant saw him he threatened or annoyed him. Mr. Norris: I must apologise for being such a small man, your worships. Dr. Rees: Oh, never mind about the eize, Mr. Norris. Asked if he had any questions to ask, Mr. Norris replied that he had 416. Mr. Norris then began to question Mr. Morris about his fighting weight, Ac., remarking that this was brought about by the council clique to try and injure him. Defendant: Did you threaten to punch Councillor Hancox's head? Complainant (toO the bench): Am I to answer that question? Mr. Norris (with emphasis): Certainly. (Laughter.) Dr. Rees: No, no; that has nothing to do with the case. Defendant: This is very important, yrrar worships. I hope you will bear with me. (To witness): Did you, in ypur usual bulldog fashion, hand me this paper on nomination day? Witness: I handed you a paper. Did you threaten to punoh my head when we were sitting in a Taff Vale carriage at the station?—No, I did not. Did you say at the St. Fagan's comer that if I came up to the council-chamber you would chuck me down^rta-irs?—No. "IN THE FIERY FXTRNACTE." Did Tom Mordey a.nd Walter HaUt, friend? of yours and the clique, call on C(>uTxdll?:? Hancox in the council offices and ask him to come over and say they would snuff Norris out in a week?—No. Then defendant drifted into questions about payment for private improvements to com- plainant's property. Complainant: You will have a chance to vindicate this in another court. There's something else coming after this. Mr. Norris: This is the fourth time I have been put in the fiery furnace and come out without the smell of fire. This is the fourth time I have been persecuted by this man. This is a conspiracy to which these men have pro- miseid to contribute so much to send me into the bankruptcy-court or Bridgend Asylum. Now, Mr. Morris, how much have you offered to that end? How muoh has Sam Thomas offered? How much has Jenkin Llewellyn offered? The Chairman: Oh. do come to the 12th of August. Defendant (to witness?) r Do you swear that I used the word —— on that occasion?-Yes. Swear it. sir!—I do. Addressing complainant, defendant. said, "I wouldn't speak to you at any price." Dr. Rees: I don't know whether Mr. Norris is giving evidence or cross-examining. It is a terrible waste of time. Mr. Norris: There are no points to cross- examine the man 011. Dr. Rees: I should say there were very eerious points. ACTING MAD." Mr. Samuel White, cab proprietor, Station- road, Penarth, said a good crowd assembled at the time of the alleged threat. The defen- dant was acting mad. and was mad with his stick as well. (Laughter.) Mr. Norris said he had never used the word in his life, and would not commence to use it now. Mr. Norris: You say I was mad? Witness: WelL sir, I should not like to be like you. (Laughter.) Mr. Norris: I have been on the best terms with you for thirty years. Witness: We are now. Mr. Norris: Quite right, my boy. I bear you no malice. William Henry Leddington. another Penarth cab proprietor, corroborated. He said he had hewd Mr". Norris threaten Mr. Morris several times. Mr. Norris: You use the WTOng word. It was burning indignation, not excitement. (.Laughter.) "Well, you can go," said defendant, in con- cluding his examination of witness. This concluded the case for the prosecution. and the defendant. asked if he had any 1 wk>uld be witttesBes to call, said, I would be ashamed to ask witnesses for such a trumpery case." (Laaighter.) SATISFACTION. I)efen-d-ant then read a -statement, in which he said that on meeting Mr. W.hite he asked him if he had heard that Sam Thomas's clique had Kent Tom Mordey and Walter Hal- letot to the only friend he had on the oouncil, Mr. Hancox, asking him to come over to them, and they would snuff him (Norris) in a week. Ten thousand such miserable puppies could not do it. If his waltans-eti/ek and umbrella had not more brass than they he would chuck them away. He did not brandish his stick, but always swung it round when walk- ing. Cross-examined by Mr- Rees, Mr. Norris said he compiled the statement the day the summons was got oot- Dr- Rees said the bench felt the csuse had been proven, and defendant had not shaken one iota the evidence given by the com- plain ant and his witnesses. He would be bound over in the sum of ElO to keep the poeaoo for six months, and they hoped in the future he would live in peace with his neighbours. Defendant would also have to pay the costs.

Lawrence, the fourth engineer, accidentally fell into the dock. It apfpeaa-s that Lawrence, in company with the ohkvf officer, Mr. J. Struth, arrived at, the yard about illidnight. A high wind was blowing, and it was rainirg -h-v-avil,y,. After conversing some minutes w-ith the caretaker of the yard, Lawrence made a run for the ship with his head down, and by some means or other missed the gangway and fell into the dock. Fortunately, how- ever, he war, not seriously hurt, and was able to walk up out of the dock unaided. He, however, sustained a slight injury to one of his shoulders and suffered severely shock..

YORK MEETING. Paddock Finals. BY "G0LD8EEKER." YORK, Thursday. The morning opened beautifully fine at York to-day, and it is to be hoped the after- noon will be fine for the wind up of the meet- ing.

Notes and Selections. YORK, Thursday Morning. It would not have been surprising if the attendance at York yesterday had been of limited dimensions, for the weather condi- tions were far from promising. Suoh was not the case, however, and Ehor day is such an important institution in the estimation of North-countrymen that there was a large muster on the Knavesmire. Of the four runners yesterday Rousay was obviously the champion on public form, and he gained a popular victory over Old China. Brewer landed a useful double event with Cooya and Rivtrina, and as the verdicts in favour of these youngsters were a short head and 'a head respectively the luck of Perth Lodge would appear to have changed. The chief event to-day, the Great Yorkshire Stakes, has frequently furnished a pointer for the St. Leger, but there is no possibility of its doing so this year. Pom can run under cover of a breeding allowance of lGlh. and Dalgety, if he were in the humour, ought to go close. Another arrival that is well in is Rhinefield. My preference, however, is for POM. Other selections follow Middlethorpe Plate.—WOODSPRING. Harewood Handicap .—CROW CUP (nap). Gimcraùk Stakes.—THE WHIRLPOOL. Lowther Plate.—CARLEBY. TairEeld Plate.—FALLEN ANGEL. MERLIN.
