"NOT AN ABNORMAL PLACE."I
"NOT AN ABNORMAL PLACE. I At Cardiff County-court to-day his Honour Judge Owen decided an important point con- tingent upon a strike and the effect upon colliery work, viz.. whether part of the four. foot seam of the Llanbradach Colliery was an abnormal place. Mr. John Sankey, K.C. (instructed by Mr. James, Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas, Pontypridd) was for the plaintiffs, Peter Fullalove, W. Harris. William Nott, and J. Plummer, members of the South Wales Miners' Federation; and Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., M.P. (instructed by Air. C. Kenshole, Messrs. C. W. Keneholo Aberdare) was for the defendants, the Llan- bradach Colliery Company. Mr. Sankey said the parties agreed to abide by the decision they asked his honour to make. Plaintiffs' case was that the four- foot iseam for a considerable distance was three feet in thickness, and the men were paid lid per inch. The seam then thicken- Ing became softer, and it was necessary to Use heavy timber, the work became inoreaa- ingly difficult, and less money was earned. Evidence was called on both sides. Mr. Abel Thomas said the men had made ¡ the mistake of supposing that under the agreement it was only necessary to sit down and twiddle their thumbs in order to earn 411 9d. a day, whereas it was necessary to I Put their backs into the work. His Honoar thought no good could be •^ined b3 reserving judgment, and, being of 1- the opinion that the claims failed, he decided T 'defendants. In an abnormal place th-e too would be loose and dangerous, and the torn mixed with rubbish and small oosl. Re Tranted ordinary costs.
Unemployed Teachers
Unemployed Teachers THE COST OF EDUCATION. I H Mr. Runoiman received at the Board of Education to-day a deputation from the National Education Association, introduced by Mr. John Massie, M.P., which supported his elementary school staffing oircular, and asked for increased grants from the Exchequer for specific purposes, including the building of schools. The President in reply thanked the deputation for its support, and said the circular would result in the absorp- tion of the unemployed teachers. As to the financial part of their business, he referred them, to the Exchequer. He was favourable t o their proposal for the erection of nursery schools for children between three and five years of age, but in the present condition of things could not press it upon the local educational authorities. If any authority liked to take the matter up locally it would receive every support from the Board. He was afraid that some of the deputation's i-eeommendatiops set up a standard against which the public authorities would revolt.

'ST U CK BY M R ROCH E'l
'ST U CK BY M R ROCH E'l SIR TIMOTHY'S PROTEST I "Make Me Tell Lies" I To-day was the seventh day of the hear- ing of the Irish society slander action, Roche v. O'Brien, before Mr. Justice Kenny and a special jury at the Four Courts, Dublin. The plaintiff, the Hon. Alexis Roche, brother of Lord Pernios, claims L3,000 damages from Sir Timothy O'Brien, Bart., for having said of him at a meet of the Duhallow hounds, "You are a Har, a thief, and a swindler, and to my knowledge you have lived by swindling for twenty years." The defence was mainly a plea. of justification. There was again a crowded court, the attendance including many ladies in fashionable attire. At the sitting of the court Mr. Justice Kenny was accompanied on the bench by a distinguished United States Judge, the Chief Justice of the State of Maine, who was for- merly introduced by his Lordship to the Bar and followed the proceedings with interest. The defendant. Sir Timothy O'Brien, who had been under cross-examination at the rising of the court yesterday, re-entered the witness-box, and was further sharply cross- examined by the Solicitor-General. I understand, Sir Timothy O'Brien, that you yourself are in the habit of trafficking in horses?—Not trafficking in horses. I buy horses for my own hunting, and I sell them very often at seven and eight years old. I havo not many transactions in the year. For some years I have not sold one horse. I know very little about Mr. Baring's hor.xi. I have not been on speaking terms with Mr. Baring for some years. As a result of hard riding a horse might be broken down in a. few months by Mr. Baring. I have sold horse-, for 1700. Did you ever sell a horse on a vet.'s" opinion?—Yes. When you are selling a horse on a vete- rinary's opinion is not the responsibility on the veterinary ?-I think it is. His certificate is the basis of the transaction. "Stuck bv Mr. Roche" I V I believe it is your impre&slon that you got badly stuck by Mr Roche ?-I have said that shortly after the 20th of July, 1891, I was of opinion that I had been stuck v Nir. Boohe. I am certain now that I was stuck. I knew very little about horses then, as I was devot- ing most of my time to cricket. The Solicitor-General: I suggest it was to gocsip and slander. Sir T O'Brien: If you are trying to puzzle me and make me tell lies I will not do it. The Judge (severely): I can't think. you have any right to make that statement, Sir Timothy. The questions are quite simple. Further cross-examined, the defendant said he told Major Fleming that he had been tricked by Roche in the sale of a horse.. Did you tell him that under the pretence of a sale to Manley that Manley and Roche together passed the horse off on you?—Well, I suppose I did say something. I said I was tricked. I knew I was stuck, and, like Mr. Daly. I thought I would lie under it. His Lordship said that in a great number of his answers the defendant was bringing in matters that could not be given in evidence. The Solicitor-General: And I suggest that is another form cf unfair dealing. Cross-examination resumed: On the 7th of March I said to Major Ellis and Major Powell at the hunt meet that I was glad to have an opportunity of saying what I said to Rcohe. I got very pronounced provocation from Roche. What was Roche's crime about the horse "Canadian"?—That he entered It at Mallow Show as a four ^ear-old, and entered it a, month or so afterwords as a. five-yeaj-old at the Dublin Show. And that is the crime?—Yes. Don't you know it was Mr. Sheehan's horse at the time of the Mallow show?—I think it was Mr. Sheeha-n's. You don't suggest it was Mr. Roche who entered tne horse at Mallow?—I don't. Do you know your change is one of fraud in this matter?—I charge Mr. Roche with fraud. Don't you recognise that there is a differ- ence between making a mistake about a horse, a.nd knowing a thing as consciously wron-g?—I admit you can make a mistake. Is ths-t a crime?—Ko And do I understand you to stick to every- one of these charges against Roche as acts o* conscious fraud?—Yes. Do you now stick to your charge against Roche about. the hunt money?—I should endeavour to have got the gentleman who told me of it here if I had known about it I say the money supposed to be exposed on this covtrt was not there. Do you stick to that?—I do In other words, like another great race, you never forget anything or forgive any- t.h.ing ?-I forgive a great deal. Of course, I forgive you for the nasty time you have given me to-day. (laughter.) The Solicitor-General: I am much obliged. The Judge: It is your duty to do it. Both the plaintiff and Sir T. O'Brien have had an unpleasant time A Point Cleared Up His Lordship added there was one point he would like oleared up. What was the provo- cation received by defendant from plaintiff on March 7, 1908 Defendant was re-eined on this point by Serjeant Moriarty, he stated that he said to Colonel Williamson at the hunt meet, "I will stop that fellow (Roche) telling lies," a.nd the colonel said, "Oh, he cannot help telling lies." Serjeant Moriarty: You have been asked a.bout poor Mr. "Peter Griffin How long ago was this affair in the club at Limeriok ?-Io 1897 there were a number of county Limerick gentlemen in the club who were mixed up in the transaction. Serjeant Moriarty received the verdict of the jury at the inquest on Mr. Griffin, "That decea.sed came by his death from a self- inflicted wound whilst temporarily insane,' and the foreman of the jury added, "We desire to express our sincere regret at this unfortunate occurrence, and tender our sin- cere condolence to deceased's widow and family." The Solicitor-General: That is Sir Timothy O'Brien's exoneration. Serjeant Moriarty (to defendant): I ask you, in the most solemn manner, had you hand. act. or part in the death of Peter Grim n ?-None whatever. Questioned as to a letter he had written to the Catholic Bishop of Oloyde regarding a priest of his di'icese, the defendant produced a letter from the bishop asking1 him to give evidence in the matter. Serjeant Moriarty: Enormous capital has been made out of the fact that you were fined £ 300 hY the Kind's Bench for trying to interfere with the Cork jury. Will you your self tell the jury of the incident for which you were fined Mr. Justice Kenny: I don't see what good that question can do. I was a, mem'-ei* of the court that inflicted that fine. We in the King's Bench found that there were no ex- tenn.itiner circumstances—absolutely none. If we did we would not have fined him XZM. If n man put his hand into another man's pocket and stole his handkerchief it would be absurd to say that he would be entitled to go into evidence to prove that the jury and the judge were all wron. (Laughter.) The Most Rev. Dr. Browne. Catholic Bishoy of dome, called for the defence, stated that the defendant was asked by him to tell what he knew retarding a clergyman. Witness strongly protested that it was distressing to himself and most injurious and cruel to the priest to be brought into the case. A Juror said they required further evidence on the incident, and. on the appeal of the nidge, councel let it dTOp. Mr. O'Brien, hrtrtber of defonderat, and Lady O'Brien, wife of defendant, having: been examined, the evidence closed, and Serjea-nt Moriarty proceeded to address the jury for the defence.

Corpus Christi. .——————.!———..
Corpus Christi. .—————— !——— PROCESSION TO CARDIFF CASTLE. I I The minch-debated Corpus Christi psrooes- fion took place as usual o-day at Cardiff, and it seemed to be longer than usual. Aftefr recent controversy it was satisfactory to note the absence of discord, and that the prevailing: bai-moiny of feeling was expressed in signs of approbation, as the daintily- dressed children walked a lor.?, the girls in white cWKl the boys spick and span, and wearing coloured sashee. With the emblems of ecaleaiastioism, the parade was, as it were, a pageant page comparable to a Continental fete dieu, and II reminiscent of the days when England was in Ca,th'0iLio pa.rla.ncs the "dower of Mary." Thare were in the procession several bands, and contingents from Barry and other places swelled the ranks consider- ably. Many banners were carried, on which were pictures of saints and pious ejaculations. A nota ble figure I was Father Hayde—who, though nearly four score, was nimblest of all-and his familiar face and figure evoked sympathetic applause all ale Jig the route—su oh is the esteem in which the rev. father is bdd as the do-yen of the Catholic clergy. The service of Benediction followed in the Cattle Grounds, the H-ev. Father Van den Hueval officiating. The procession was forty minutes passing the "Western Mail" offices; during that time vehicular traffic was suspended, but there were no growls anywhere, and objection (if such there were) was lost in a chorus of acclamation. Mr. H?d-co.nst?Me McKenzie, on his charger, superintended the poiioe arrangements, which were excellent and com- plete.

The National Museum
The National Museum CARDIFF TRANSFER PROPOSAL When the Committee of tbe House of Com- rpj.TT? wJiicSa. is considering the Cardiff Corjx>ration Bill resoin.ed its deliberations to-day, a new feature was intrcductd /into the «UaciDseion by the opposition offered by Mr. John Kennedy, Parliamentary agent, on bohalf of Mr. Edwin Seward, architect, Car- diff, to Olaueo 38 relative to the transfer of the co-rporation natural history museum to the National Museum of Wales. Mr. Kennedy said he ha-d received tele- graphic instructions from M-r. Sewatrd's soli- citors to lociige a petition, but he had net yet any knowledge of what the objections to the amended clauses ve,rb, and, un.dar the circumstances, he Jtsked the Commit tee to postpone consideration of this clause. It was clear, however. that it was intended that Mr. Howard's services should be transferred from the corporatic-n to aoc-thar body. Co,n.i"ra,L-le discu<* £ u>n took place as to whether or not tiie petition might be re- ceived after the Bill had been found to Qomplj with the statutory regulations, and in the end the Committee decided to leave the ir atter over till Tuesday next, when the clause will be considered as originally drafted Mr. Ackworth said there was no strainted feeling between. Mr. Seward and the corpora- tion. Further argument was raised by Mr. Boyoe on behalf of the Local Government Board in reference to the ols^se which provided that the municipal xatev. general district rate, water rate, charges for electricity, etc., should be included with the Poor-rate in one book, and it was eventually agreed to add the words, But drietiuguishe i therefrom." On the clause to allow the corporation to meet current expenses by temporary loans from banks, Mr. Ackworth, for the promoters, said this was a practice followed by ma.ny municipalities, even though the Local Govern- ment Board declared it illegal. It was, said counsel, evidently proper, but, unfortunately, illegal, but if it were not continued it would mean that the corporation servants, clerks, teachers, Ac., would have to go without their salaries till the time lj h^n the rates Oil-me in (Proceeding.)

CLAIM fH A CUP. I
CLAIM fH A CUP. I Trecrky C!ub Sued.. I GLAMORGAN FOOTBALL FRICTION. Ccmsiderable interest was ta.ken in football circles in the action heard to-da,y (before Judge Bryn Roberts) at Ystrad County- court instituted by Mr. Tom Williams (chair- man) and Mr. Ack Llewellyn, as represent- ing the Glamorgan Football League, against the committee of the Treorky Rugby Foot- ball Club for the return of the league trophy now in custody of the defendants, who were last year's cupholders. The defenda-nts on their part ooqinter-elaimed for fifteen gold medals, or their value (X15), which they con- tended they were entitled to. Mr. D. Stanley Jones, solicitor, Pontypridd, appeared for the league, and Mr. D. Rees (Messrs. W. R. and Co.) for the defendants. Mr. Stanley Jones, in opening, having explained the method of awarding points a.d the general relationship between t-ha clubs of the Glamorgan League and the Welsh Football Union, went on to say that on April 19 a match was played, lasting 45 minutes, instead of the usual time according to rule, and on the result of this match and the aggregate number of points awarded to tha respective teams in the Glamorgan Foot-bail League it was found that Mountain Ash Were Winners by one point over Treorky, and, consequent. ly, Treorky were asked to give up the cup, which they refused to do. Mr. Jones put in rules governing the league and the affiliated clubs, making paaticular reference to those which vested the custody of the cup in the chair- man and treasurer of the league, and gave them power to adjudicate upon all protests and questions of dispute in the committee, and the Latter had awarded the cup to Moun- tain Ash. Mr. Ack Llewellyn having given formal evidence in his official capacity, his hanoair drew attention to the rules giving the cus- tody of the cup to the chairman and treasurer, and, addressing Mr. Stanley Jones, added, "You are entitled to the return of the cup at the end of every season." Mr. Jones: That is the standpoint I take. Mr. Rees admitted the rules put in, and also that the cup was in the custody of the Treorky Club. The Judge: The rutes provide that at the expiration of the year it should be returned. Mr. Llewellyn, complet.ing his evidence, said he was president when the" resolution was passed by the committee awarding the championship to Mountain Ash. The Judge asked on what grounds Treorky could refuse to band ever the cup, even assuming their contention was right as to their position in the league. Mr. Rees said th-at he maintained that the decision of the league committee was invalid, inasmuch as it was arrived at contrary to their own rules, and contrary to their own resolution. < The Judge: Assuming that, how can you resist this action? His Honour added that the térm for which* the Treorky Club were entitled to the cup had expired. Mr. Rees dissented. The defendants maintaiiied that Being Still the Champions they were entitled to keep the cup for another year. The Judge expressed the view that even if this was 00 the Treorky Committee should, in the first place, have handed over the cup to the proper officials, and if they thought they were entitled to it should demand it accordingly. Mr. Llewellyn was exa-mined by Mr. Rees, and the advocate sought to show that if the match, in which short time had been played, had been declared a draw, then Treorky would have been level with the champions. A logial a.rgnment ensued between Mr. ee-s a,wd the Judge as to the powers of the com- mittee, the Judge remarking, "The com- mittee have power to decide the champion- a.hip, and if they were wrong I cannot over- ride them." Mr. Rees argued t,halt the rnles were in the nature of a conitract, and maintained that that contract had been broken. The Judge: But if the parties agree that a dispute in a contract is to be settled by Mr. So-and-so and that one party is not Eati& fied with the decision you cannot then say that it must be decided by the countyourt I judg4. The only thing you can do is to dis- miss the committee and get a better one next time. The Judge decided in favour of the plain- tiffs, holding that the Glamorgan League were entitled to award the cup to such teams as they considered it belonged to under their rules.

IFACTORY SYSTEM OF FINESI
FACTORY SYSTEM OF FINES I A deputation of Lancashire cotton opera- tives waited on Mr. Gladstone at the Home Office to-day to urge the tcltl abolition of a system of fines. In reply Mr. Gladstone said the deputation had convinced him that, in regard to the oot.ton trade an overwhelming majority of workers were in favour of the abolition of fines, but the difficulty in intro- ducing legislation was that arguments which applied to one industry did not apply to anotihar. Consideration of the Budget had blocked many of the avenues usually open W legislation, and though he hoped to deal with the question, the whole time of Parlia- ment up to Christmas, if not to Easter, would probably be occupied in discussing the Budget.

BUDGET POPULAR IN WALES? I If Mr. Clement Edwards is going to lead a Welsh revolt, he will hardly have any fol- lowers (says the "Liverpool Daily Post," London correspondent.)

The question whether in the next Parliament an effort should be made to give the Welsh Liberal representa- tive a more independent character,is another matter. This is an idea which finds a good deal of f-avour.

I THE OPEN COLF CHAMPIONSHIP.…
THE OPEN COLF CHAMPIONSHIP. First and Second Rounds. I The contest for the forty-ninth annual open golf championship was entered upon to- day on the Deal links. The qualifying rounds playe;: on IWsday and Wednesday had re- duced the field of 204 a.spirante to within measurable proportions, the rule providing that the 30 players returning the lowest scores in each section along with any who tied for the thirtieth place were eligible. The golf in the course of the qtialiiyirug i competition was of so remarkable art'^ordsr that the cliainpion-stlip itself promised to b3 the greatest in the long series of &tru??Ies for the honour. An added inrteTœt was given to th? g-aUl?rin? hy the fine form of the amateurs, but ot?nions at the course 'Ve.ry largely favour James Braid. Already he has won the title on four occasions, therefore equalling the achievements of Harry Va.rdon, youns Tom Morris and old Tom Morris, Eli) that victory now will place Braid in a niche by himself. To-day's play is over two rounds; to- 1 morrow other two rounds will he played, and over the aggregate we g-e. the champion. Ijast yeair Braid's winning score was 291, the lowest championship score over four greeals. CHAMPIONSHIP LOW SCORING There was a wind of some force coming ever P??weII Bay, but it died away almost to a breath shortly after the start, and had rsiot enough weight in it to stretch out the flags above the golf exhibition. The condi- tions were absolutely ideal for golf. The scoring is extraordinarily low. The rain, which had been hesitating all the morning, burst out just before noon, and the first doze-n who started Ivere,* therefore, for- tunate in escaping t downpour. The rain, however, did the course a great amount of good, and the scoring continues very low. Captain Hutchison, the first of the amateurs t-o return, played golf of all-round level excellence. ANOTHER GRAND SCORE. Johns (a young Southerndown professional) filnished j,n 72. He hit the hole at the seven- teenth, and missed a putt at the home hole. Gassiat, the Frenchman, did a capital round. Harry Vardon took 82. He took seven to the third, and was playing his shots indiffe- rently. Scoring is likely to be higher, as with the rain off a etiffish wind has sprung up from Ramsgate way. AMATEUR CHAMPION'S GRAND ROUND. Til _<i_ 11.. „ x-Attjiu&r wirougnout me worst ot tne ram, Mr. Maxwell played golf of all-round expe- rience, and equals Captain Hutchinson's 75. and t He sliced his drive at the second, and this cost him a stroke, but otherwise nothing re- markable.
