P.D, CHAIRMAN. Takes a Serious View. RefereoM0 to the coal deadlock which has arisen was again made at a meeting of the Powell Doifryn Steam Coal Company in London to-day. Mr. Joseph Shaw (the oh airman), in moving the adoption of the report, sadd he took a very serious view of the position of affairs in the South Wales ooalfield. There were several matters c'ai mintf attention. The first wae the effect of the Eiffht Hours Act. A larffe number of people, including some in the House of Commons, were led astray upon the question of quantity, but he wished to point out that whilst the output in many oases wa.s maintained it was only done by increasing the number of workmen and equipping the colliery with up-to-date appliances. With rearard to the negotiations proceeding between the employers and workmen's repre- sentatives. Mr. ishaw emphasised the fact that, although the employers had done their best to meet the men, the men had not budged a sdmgle inch. There was the question of small coal, The men admitted now that they were paid for small coal, and they demanded the same ra-le as if it, were large coal. If this was agreed to, no colliery in Wales would be able to work at a profit. Upon the questioi of abnormal places, Mr. Shaw remarked that the men's demand wae that they should decide what was ail abnor- mal place. If that were granted, the result would be, perhaps, that every place in the pit would be abnormal, and the men would be ready, but would ask to be padd the aMne amount of wages, and there would be no tonnage to pay these wages, A resolution was passed agreeing to the creation of fresh capital to the aanount of 206,250 new shares of ki each for the pur- pose of sinking a new colliery at Peugam. The Chairman said tha.t the shares would be issued to the present shareholders at the rate of 1 to 4 at pa.r.

'JE1 aMonthforSmoking'j RUSSIAN DEBTOR'S ALLOWANCE The Official Receiver of Pontypridd Raink- ruptcy-c.>urt made severe strictures in the case of Isaac Corkland, fan-cy goods dealer, Pontypridd, at to-day's sitting of the court. ) J)e.btor. who is a Russian, came to Ponty- 1 pridd sixteen years ago, and his liabilities amounted to 1213 6s., with a deficiency of £200 Is. 8d. Since September la-st, it was stated, the debtor had received goods to the value of £335, and had only paid his creditors A125. The Official Receiver asked where the momey bad gone, as the debtor had sold all his goods for cash. Debtor replied that he had lost on da.maged good's and had expanses to meet. The Official Receiver then read out a cat&r loffnie of the expenses returned by debtor, remarking: "If it is true, it is a. scandalous gtate of affairs, and a man like you ought to suffer for it. L-isien. You state that you lost £25 on gambling?" Debtor: Twelve pounds I lost, on a fight at Mountain Ash, and the remainder in playing eards. The Offioiai Receiver: Then you state that I' you --r,-ent :CIO on a week's trip in Birming- ham 10s. a week you put down for drink; amoking 2. a month, and 5s. a week for billiards and music-halls. Further, you gave I presents to a, lady who is likely to be your wife. Debtor staged that he gave a ring worth £5 10s. and a bangle £ 1 10s. The Registrar: You have squandered as nearly ad possible £100 in gambling, drinking, and trips to Birmingham and Cardiff. The examination was adjourned.

DAMAGES AGAINST MR HOOLEY I The King's Beonch Divisional Court to-day declined to advance the hea-ring of a motion to set aside an award in the case of Paine v. Hooley and others. Counsel sadd Mr. Alfred James Paine brought the action against Mr. Hcoley and others, the parties claiming £ 53,000 as damages, money received, breach of contract, &c. The matter went to the arbi- trator, who awarded L13,030 against Mr. Hooley and awarded himself £9-:0. The grounds for the application were that t.he amount the arbitrator awarded himself was excessive, and, secondly, with regard to thrte bills for £5,000 ea-ch which Mr Hooley- had handed to the arbitrator, who promised he would P-st-tle Paine's claims with them. Bills were accepted by a lady of title. Mr. Hodley's oomplain t was that these bills had been dealt with for EIO,(M and no credit given him in award. Judgment bad, however, been signed, and a theriff was in possession at the farm at Pa.pworth and the Risley estates. Mr. Paine opposed the motion, and the court, in declining to advance the case, said some reasonable arrangement could be made. Mr. Justice Bucknill remarked, "We h-a-ve only heard a little bit of this strange story." I

Mrs.WELDON WANTS SUMMONS At Bow-etreet to-day Mrs, Georgina Weldon applied for a mimmons against Mr. Edgar Infield, a Brighton journalist, for oommittimg perjury in his libel action in the High Gouirt yesterday against Mrs. Maakay over a pamphlet written by the present applicant. Mrs. Weldon stated Mr. Infield swore infamous falsehoods oonoerning herself, and described her as a dangerous a.nd a wicked old person. She had offered to put down E400 to defend yesterday's action, but, said the applicant, Mr. Infield knew he would have no oharnce if she appeared. There was not a einiglo word of libel about the pamphlet except that he bad nerves. Mrs. WeMon said she protected Mr. Infield's wife when he was away. The applicant Said the judge would not look at her affidavit. Eventually, at the magistrate's suggestion, she said she would go at once and see the judge who tried the o,tse yesterday, and, if necessary, she would renew the application to the magistrate.

"LIVE FOR EV,ER & DIE HAPPY" I Alderman Wilkinson, who has been ra-tiher unwell of late, was given a cheer on riainug in the Newport Corporation to-day. He con- gratulated the mayor (Mr. W. M.

BUDGET SAVED ? Bargain With Irish M.Ps CHANCELLOR'S NEGOTIATIONS Basis of Agreement The Lo-ndon correspondent of the Liver- pool Post," in a message late last night, says:—I am gla-d to hear late to-night that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has come, or is on the eve of coming, to terms with the Nationalists. If the arrangement be finally concluded, the Budget, or, rather, perhaps a twin Budget, will go through the House of Commons Mr. Redmond has evidently found tiuat his action on the Budget was threatening to alienate the Liberals, a-nd he is proving more conciliatory than his public utterances would suggest. What is the basis of the arrange- ment is not yet definitely known, but it is reported that the Budget of 1909-10 and 1910-11 will be combined. The grea-t feature of both Budgets will be the same. The land taxes, the lioenoe duties, and the super-tax will remain; but the new whisky duty, while legalised for the year 1909-10, will be abandoned for the coming financial year. A provi- sion will also be inserted which will make it clear and indisputable that the present ownera of Ireland are not to be subject to any increment duty. Of thil there has never been any question, but Mr. Redmond and his friends desire that it should be beyond all possible doubt. The arrangement with regatdto the Budget will not affect the veto resolutions. They will go on to their pre-destined doom in the House of Lords, and when they are hung up or rejected it will be for the Government to determine what course they axe to adopt. It will, hO'Wever, be an immense advantage to the Government if they go to the. country with the Budget on the Statute Book. Mr. Ramsay Macdonald's Warning Writing1 earlier in the evening the corre- spondent said: The postponement and possible loss of the Budget haie given great dissatisfaction to the Labour party, and Mr. Macdoaiald has warned Mr. Redmond that if the Budget fails to pass, it will do much injury to the cause of Home Hule in England. This is a point on which Mr. Redmond a,nd his fri-ends wouJd do well to ponder. The Labour leaders S'eoem to take a very reasonable view of the ques- tion of guarantees and safeguards. Mr. Maodonald has gone so far as to say tha/t if the Prime Minister demanded guar- antees at the present moment, he ougXt to be impeached. The plain truth is that everybody reoog- nises that a large creation of paers with the object of carrying the Veto Bill during this Paiiiiaitnent is impossible. It is evident that Mr. Asqulth has never made such pro- posals to the King, and many people greatly doubt if he ever will. If he does, it will be with the knowledge thait the demand will be refused, sad he will only make it to justify him in resigning. Whatever may be the óouræ of events, tiho question of a luxge creation of peers will not arise during the pmeaeut Parliament. Mr. Redmond's Demand It is rather surprising that 'Mr. Red- nwjnd should insist so much on the question of guarantees, because he evi- dently recognises that it is importable that the King can give them. Twice Witihin the last few days he has declared that a general election either in May or June is in- evitable. If the safeguards for which he is olmaouring were obtained, there tvmld be ro general election, because the Veto Bill would be carried by swamping the existing majority in the House of Lords, The Irish leader, therefore, knows that the guarantees for which he asks cannot be obtain&d, and he is proclaiming with no uncertain voice thwt tfeere must be an early general election. If he wishes to ooncdliate English democratic opinion, he will certainly allov the Budget, to go through before the neat appeal to the people.

16 Licences Opposed I AT ADJOURNED CARDIFF SESSIONS I Undiminished interest was manifested in < the proceedings of the adjourned licensing se-mions for the City of Cardiff, held to-day i at the Law CQlurts. Mr. A. F. Hill (solicitor to Cardiff Licensed Victuallers' Association) was present, with Mr. Donald Maclean lead- ing on the other side for the Temperance Union and Citizens Council. Dr. W. Taylor presided as chairman over a full attendance of the licensing justices. The, police opposed fifteen licences and the Citizens' Union eight, the latter including only one which is not in the police list, viz., the Friendship Alehouse, in Bute-terrace. The King's Arms The objection to the King's Arms was the redundancy of licensed houses in the vicinity. Mr F. W. Eneor (from the town-olerk's office) a,ppea,red for the police in this case and ;n the others. Evidence was given by the Head- conetable Inspector Burke, who, in answer to Mr. Hill, said'the house was patronised by a good class of working men, a.nd was kept fairly clean by Mr. Thomas Williams, who has held the licence for seventeen years. The Friendship Alehouse, in the saime terrace, next oadne under review, Mr. Donald Maclean submitting that the hostelry was not a public necessity, as within the imme- diate area there were from 25 to 27 licensed houses, a.nd one of such houses for every 130 of the inhabitants. The licence of the King's. Arms was referred to the compensation authority, that of the Friendship being renewed. Pier-Head Restaurant I Exception was taken that the premises, of the Pier-head Beetaurant were structurally unfit. Mr. G. F. FVmedike banded up plans, and upon t,he report of the visiting justices the lioensee wa,6 in-struoted to report at the adjourned meeting upon light, ventilation, a.nd other matters, the head-constable also to report upon the appliances in case of fire. Torbay and Alma The IE["d--stahle g«ve e?de?KW in eU'P-1 port of the oont?m.Mon that the Torbay Ale- hl(}u. in -Ma'rg?.)?t?tre?t, Doc?s, is mot required for the benefit and accommodation of the public and is structurally unfit. The ihioose, he said, was well conducted, but there vmA am am/pie ftupply without it. Mr. Lewis Morgan was for the tenant and lessee, aind Mr. Bradley for tbe ownl-r. The Alma. Alehouse, 011,1190 in Margaret-Street, m. the opposite S'idê of tihe road, was objected to on the some grounds as in the last ease. Mr. F. H- Ga^kell appeared for Mr. Hireum Weeks, the licensee. (Proceeding.)

"PACKED LIKE SARDINES" An 3JPpoløtio-n was made at Caerphilly adjourned broweter oesojonc, to-day for a licence for the proposer new Royal Hotel, Bargoed. Mr. Hugh Jonefc (instructed by Mr. T. J. Thomas, Barged) appeared for the applicant (Mr. James Ward, Aberbargoed), and opposition was offered by Mr. A. T. James (of the firm of Messrs. Walter Morgan, Bruce, Nicholas, and James) on behalf of the owners and Hcen.s«!s of the Junction and PIasnewydd Hotels; Mr. Gilling (of the .firm of Messrs. GilH.n? and Goodfellow) opposed on behalf of the Hanbury Hotel; Mr. Clifford Phillips (Newport.) on behalf of the M'Dotinell Hotel, and Mr. Cyril Jones (Bait. igoed), apposed on behalf of the Free Church Council. Erroderaoe vras given by Mr. D. J. Thomas, architect, ftborwiag there were six licensed hofuses and a population of 9,138 within half a. mile. Mr. Jaimes Ward sadd the proposed cost of the hotel would be L3,000, and he was prepared to give the bench an undertaking to stay there for five or ten years if necessary. Further evidence was called to show overcrowding1 of the existing houses on Saturdays and Mondays. A witness, Evan Isaac PhilMpe, aid that on Saturday nights they were packed like sardines." The beach refused the application.

G.O.M. OF THE BENCH I Lord HaWboar, undoubtedly, deserves the title of the Grand Old Man of the Bench. lie enters on his eighty-fifth year in September next, and yet he has agreed to preside in Appeal* Court No. 1 in pla/ce of Lord Justice Vaaghan Williams, in order that that judge may devote Mtneelf to the work of the Welsh FoeU"

28| MILLIONS COST OF BUDGET REJECTION In the House of Commons this after- noon, Mr. Lloyd George said that. there would be a loss in the current year of 28! millions as a result of the Budget not being passed. Assent to Loans A Royal Commission was received at three o'clock by the House of Lords, and the Royal Assent was signified to the War Loan Redemption Act and the Treasury Temporary Borrowing Act. The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chan- cellor, Viscount Althorp, and Lord Pent- land.

I I Drink and Crime. lOVER 100 PRISONERS FOR TRIAL Mr. Justice Coleridge, in opening the Criminal Court at Glamorgan Assizes at Cardiff to-day, said he regretted to tell the grand jury, of which Mr. O. H. Jones wis foreman, that there were over 100 prisoners into who.eases they were a-sked to inquire. The cases were not. perhaps, of the gravest character, though numerous. However, he cotlid not help obaerving, and he should not weary of pointing out, that a great propor- tion of the oases arose from drink. Luring the twelve months preceding January 1 of this year he had kept a careful record of all the criminal cases that had been brought before him, and he Could tell them as a matter of fact that 44 out of every 100 of these crimes would never have been com- mitted except for drink. It was not for him to point to remedies. His duty was fulfilled when be drew their attention to facts; but he need hardly point out what increased happiness of the community, what lessening of expenditure in gaol and asylum, what moral improvement would result from any I improvement in the habits of persons who ctwne before him charged with crime He was not a politician—he was only a judge— but he did think it his duty, when facts like these oame before him, after close investiga- I tion, to direct public attention to them.

NEATH DEFENDANT ABSENT Three separate charges of fraud connected with insurance work were preferred against Lewes John Jones (41), an insurance agent, late of Neath. Mr. Ivor Bowen, who prose- cutsxf said that Jones was in America, and, althoufe'h the police knew where he was, owing to inadequate, finances, the Public Prosecutor apparently did not see his way clear to got the extradition proceedings made effective. Counsel asked hie lordship to allow the indictment to remain on the flie in case Jones returned to this country, and that the recognisances of the witnesses be discharged. Lord Coleridge: It is the only course to pur&ue. "Champion Hairdresser." "It is well tha.t justice should overtake perso'ns who offend against the law," Mr. Justice Coleridge told Henry Lacey (51), hair- dresser, of Barry, and late of Caerau, Maes- teg. Prisoner pleaded guilty to disappearing with £ 65 belonging to the Caera-u Working Men's Club and Institute in the yeajr 1906. Throe years later he was found at Barry. Mr. Ivor Bowen prosecuted; and Mr. Wilfred Lewis (for the defence) said that prisoner regarded himself as a champion hairdresser, and had won a championship prize. The sentence was four months' htbid labour. Got 10s by Fraud A very shrewd fraud was alleged to have been committed by William Robert Dale (38), butcher, upon the Rev. T. C. Phillips at Cac^oxton-juxla-Neath on December 7. He produced a form purporting to be signed by Colonel James, of York Barracks, and obtained t,h-e sum of 10s. He pleaded guilty, and was sent to gaol for fourt-zen months. 12 Months for Larceny Thomas Parker, labourer, having pleaded guilty to two charges of larceny at Swansea, was sent to gaol for twelve months. A Goosl Character Having previously borne a good character, David Thomas, collier, Merthyr, was released on his own recognisances. lie pleaded guilty to breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Joseph Mitchell and stealing £9 at Mer- thyr cm January 8. Bigamy and Theft Amos Fortis (38), laooure?, pleaded guiltv to bigamou-sly marrying Mary Jane Lee at Swansea on May 18, 1907, and also with steal- ing a silver watch belonging to her father, lie was sent to prison for &ix months. CIVIL COURT The civil business of the aamzes, of which there is a big list, was taken before Mr. Justice P i ekfotrd. ANTHRACITE COLLIERY DEAL. A claim for X450 5s. 6d., representing com- mission on the sale of a colliery in the anthracite district, was brought by Robert Clarke Davey, of Cardiff, against the Caebontbren Railway and Colliery Company, Llanelly. Mr. John Sankey, K.C., and Mr. Llewelyn Williams, M.P. (instructed by Mr. G. F. Wiliett, Cardiff), appeared for the claimant, and the respondents were repre- sented by Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., M.P., and Mr. Villiers Meager (instructed by Messrs Rees and Edwards, Llanelly). The plaintiff contended that he had beep instrumental in introducing a customer for Ca-ebontbren Colliery, Llanelly, for £ 9,000, he having received a commission note from the defendants' agent, under which he was to receive 5 per cent, on the agreed purchase price, this being the outcome of negotiatione with Mr. Itces Edmunds, Llanelly. the solici- tor to the company. The defendants denied liabitity to pay commission to Mr. Davey on the ground that (as they put it in corre- sp.ondemce) "a fresh introduction had been made by another man." (Proceeding.)

BOTH TO BLAME To-day the Appeal Court dismissed with costs an appeal of tlhe owners of the Belfast steamer Our ran < from a decision of Mr. Justice Btargrave pronouncing both that vessel and the Liverpool' steamer Inee Bank to bl'ame for a collision between them off t'he Lizard on May 30 last in a fog. The appellants contended that the Ince Bank ehould have been pronounced alone to blame. The Inoe Bank was bound from London to Shajrpness with lumber, and the Curran from Swansea to Rouen with ooai.

DANCING SHOES TO BE WORN Visitors to functions at Cardiff City-hall should take the precaution to wear dancing slippers in future, for at the property and markets committee to-day it was resolved, on the proposition of Mr. Charles Wall, to insist on this. It was pointed out that at the recent Liberal reception considerable injury was done to the polished floor of the Marble- hall by those who wore, not the regulation dancing shoes, but futffl-grown, well-sprigged wa,lking boots. These cauwd., considerable injury in the way of scratches, as well as to the polished floor of the Assembly-room.

BLOW AND HEART DISEASE Mr. W. L. Yiorartih, the Cardiff coroner, OOID-I ducted an inquiry to-day into the eeaitlh of William Eiwin Wel'Kngs, shipwright, of 25, Hereford-street, Cardiff, who died on Wednes- day last. The wjdiow saiid that two years ago deceased waa struck with a bar of iron whilst followiinig his etrployment at the Mountstuairt Dry Dock. He toad not worked since, and lmd- reeciyed a sum of R,6 as com- pensation. In reply to Mr. Venebles, who appealed for the Moumtgtuaxt Dry Dock Com- pany, M.r>sf Wellings 6taitetl that- deceased had neetr complained of heart tonable. He had rheumatic fever about five yeans ago, but did not experience any pains' until tihe acci- dent. The accident was described -by a fellow- workmate, named Pengelly, who said that the iron struck deceased on the head. Dr. D. Jones Bald tihait the deceased suffered from i.ij diseased heart. The jury returned a ver- •ckViot of "Death from heart diseajse, and found that the blow accelerated death.

WHEAT AND COTTON KINGI Mr. J. A. Patten, the well-known wheat and cotton king, arrived at Liverpool to-da.y by the liner Miauretania. He stated he had come for a short holiday with his junior partner, who was going on to Southern Europe. He hoped to return on Saturday, And his visit had no edgnifloanoe. In Liver- pool cotton circles, however, Sir. Patten's visit has caused oo>usideraible excitement.

COURT OF REFEREES Among the membere who have been selected to aot on the Court of Referees are Sir D. Brynmor Jonas and Mr. Henry Vivian. This i8 a high compliment to tie mexaber for Bir- konhead (writes the London correspondent of the "Liverpool PSost").

POOR AND DiVOeOE; -0 GREATER FACILITIES NEEDED Dangers of Separation MARRIAGE TIE HELD IN LOW ESTEEM Mr..Robert Moore, a barrister, associated Mr. Robert Moore, a barnfite1", a.ia,ted with the Poor Man's Lawyer Department of Cambridge University Settlement, Camber- well-road, gave evidence to-day before the Divorce Commission. He stated that he had been consulted personally by the poor of that district in over a thousand oases. Divorce and separation matters were very common subjects on which advice was sought. Lord Gorell (the Chairman): What strikes you most in your dealings with this class ot poor?—The frequency of parties living with a member of the opposite sex without being married. Have they any sense of wrong in doing this?—No; they look upon it as a matter cf necessity. Having separated from their hus- band or wife, they cohabit with someope eise. The marriage tie is held in very low | esteem. No sanctity and very little import- ance is attached to it. The poor prefer to be married, but it is mostly due to the fact that it gives them a. legal hold over their husbands. How do you find this bears on separation orders and divorce?—The low estimate in which the marriage tie is held is very largely due to the difficulty of dissolving the mar- riage tie. •" On wha-t grounds do you form that conclu- sion ?—I think that if there were greater facilities for obtaining divorce where there are grounds for it, the innocent party would seek dissolution of the existing marriage before entering into a ireeh partnership. The expense at present amounts to a denial, of the benefits of the divorce laws. Whoa,t, in your view, is the remedy?—In Ion. don, I would suggest very diffidently, that there should be an official solicitor attached to each district, whoee duty it would be to investigate the applications for leave to sue in forma pauperis, and, having granted leave on good ground, he ought to render them assistance in the collec- tion of evidence and in the marshalling of the evidence before the court. I would go further, and say that in a proper case the judge should be authorised to certify for the payment of expenses to witnesses out of the public purse. A practising solioitor could deal with these cases as a department of his business. I do not thing it would occupy his whole time. And where should these c'tses be heard ?-In the High Court for the London cases. Beyond London you want a different system alto- gether. The prohibitive expense in London applies wit-h additional force in the country. I think some form of local court is abso- lutely essential. My own suggestion is that there should be special district judgee appointed. The courts should have power to remit to the High Court. Separation Orders What are your views on separation orders? —I think separation orders as the law stands at present are absolutely essential. They are necessary for the protection of the wife. At the same time, there is no getting over the fact that separation orders make for immo- rality. When the parties are separated they strike up an irregular union owing to the necessity they feel of having a mate. And what remedy do you suggest —I do not know that I have any substantial remedy except making divorce easier. Dealing with the grounds cf divorce, Mr. Moore said a wife whose husband was habitually guilty of misconduct ought to be able to get a divorce without having to prove cruelty, as should also the wife whose hus- band resorted with women of low character. In his opinion, a single act of misconduct on the part of a man did not entitle his wife to divorce. Answering Mr. Thomas Burt, M.P., Mr. Moore said that an isola-ted act of miscon- duct on the part of a woman, in his view, ought not necessarily to be grounds for her husband's divorce. The court should have the discrttlon to deal with such cases. To the Archbishop of York, the witness answered that he was speaking of the very poor in the district with which he was familiar. His remarks did not apply to the better artisan class or the regular labouring classes. On his .view tha,t a wife's misconduct ought not necessarily to be grounds for her husband's application for divorce, Mr. Moore gave instances of how a wife without means and deserted by her husband was subjected to great temptation. The Archbishop of York: Do you thdnk that making divorce easy would add 'to the sanctity of marria,ge in the eyes of the world?—I think so. Mr. Edward Brierley: I was surprised to hear your expressaon of opinion as to the lax views of the marria.ge tie held by the poor I suppose you referred to casual workers and dissolute people?—No, I can't say that I described the people who come to us. It is a large, nondescript class, incompetent and helpless for the most part. (Proceeding-.)

TERRITORIAL MUSKETRY I If the figures given in the Duke of Bed- ford's pamphlet are correct, and there is no reason to doubt their accuracy, there is evidently much to be desired before the Terri- toria,l force can be pretended to be in a stable of complete readiness for war. In July last there were 674 officers and 67,037 mep who had never fired even a recruit's course of musketry. There were 1,085 officers and 53,367 men who, though they had fired a recruit's course, had not fired the trained soldier's course. We have, therefore, 67,087 men totally untrained, and 53,36,7 who have onoe fired twenty rounds, leaving 140,222 men trained in musketry according to the standard of the Territorial force. And what is this stan- dard? About five hours' musketry and 112 rounds in four years' service; whale the old Militia, which the force ie supposed to have superseded, fired a recruit's course of 105 rounds in ten days, and an annual course of 75 rounds in six days.

DROWNED ON VOYAGE I Mr. W. L. Yorath held an inquest at. oar-I diff on Monday into the death of John Z??. (32), a native of Jersey, who was drowned at sea. Mr. Lean (Messrs. Moxon and Lean) watched the proceedings on beh-alf of the k,bipc,w-ners.-William T. Hall, chief officer of the Drumcliff, on which deceased was an A.B., said that on March 4 the vessel was on a voyage from Cardiff to London, and deceased was drowned. Witness believed he went under the ship. The jury returned a verdiot of ejrnoope, amd found that the exer- tion of the-work accelerated death.

YOUNG PRINCE AT SEASIDEI Prince Henry of Wales, who has been at BroadBtairs now just about three weeks, is looking much -st-rongetr amd better for his stay. He has enjoyed beautifully fine and a tunny weather for the last few days. Prince Henry generally spends his mornings on the sands with his spade and bucket. Last week he was able to see from the windows of York Gate House the launch, of the lifohoait in response to signals from & vessel on the Goodwin Sands.

GUARDIANS' ELECTION I Mir. F. W. John, of the Municipal ElmpJooy-e6 Association, will be & candidate for Grange- town Waird, and will probably run with Mr. Arfchuir J. At well, Cardiff branch secretary of the AmiaJligaimated Association of Tram way and Vehicle Workers. Both are members of the Gairdiff Trades Council, and Air. Atwell has been for several years on the Cardiff Infirmary board of management.

Sir S. T. Evans's Seat I PROSPECTS OF TRIPLE FIGHT The prospects of a. three-oornered bye-elec- tion in Mid-Glamorgan are increasing. Little disposition is shown by the Liberals to admit the Labour claim to the seat, and Messrs. Clem Edwards, Ijeif Jones, and S. P. J. Merlin are mentioned as possible candi- dates. Should Mr. G. H. Williams not again stand in the Unionist interest, it is expected the candidate will be Mr. F. H. Gaskell, who, fought East Glamorgan at the general election. New Divorce President. A London news agency learns on good authority that Sir Samuel T. Evans, K.C., the new President of the Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division, will be sworn in by the Lord Chancellor on Thursday afternoon next, and will take his seat probably on Monday next at the Divorce Court. A Bombshell The unexpected resignation of Sir John Charles Bigham as President of the Proba.te, Divorce, and Admiralty Division has come like a bombshell in legoaJ circles. Everybody in the Law Courts on Monday was talking about it, the sensation being heightenoo by the fact that much to the surprise of the large gathering in the Divorce Court the late President, Sir John Bigharn, did not take his seat. The official list contained a number of cases down for disposal by his lordahip. Mr Justice Bargrave Deane made absolute three decree nisi which were in Sir John Bigham's list, and the remainder of the oases wera postponed. Curiosity as to the reason for Sir John Bighams resig-matiou is deepened by the knowledge that only last year he succeeded Lord Gorell as President of the Divorce Division. The official reason for t-he resigna- tion is "ill-health and old age." He ip 70, but it is su-i-cl Sir John Bag-ham has never properly liked the somewhat distasteful work of the Divorce Courts. In the course of his evidence at the Royal Commission on Divorce Sir John Bigharn created a sensation by his outspoken views on sex morality. It is said these views have been the subject of bitter discussion in high ciroles. j Sir S. T. Evans's Resignation Sir S. T. Evans, K.C., the new President of the Divorce Division, has sent the following letter to Alderman Hopkin Morgan, J.P., Neath. the chairman of the Mid-Glamorgan Liberal Aseociation:- London, March 7, 1910. Dear Mr. Morgan,- Yon will have known by this time that the fates have willed that my membership for Mid-Glamorgan should be at an end, by reason of my appointment* to the position of President of the Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty Division of the Higb. Court of Jus- tice. It is hardly necessary for me to tell you that I did not in any way seek the posi- tion, hut the Prime Minister and the Lord Chancellor were pleased (upon many grounds. a"" they kindly informed me; to do me the great honour of submitting my name to his Majesty the King for appointment to this high and responsible post. I feel strongly the wrench in leaving the House of Commons after a Parliamentary life of over twenty years, and the severance of the long and happy connection between my native and faithful constituency and myself—a connection which, i trust, may be looked upon as honourable to both. In acknowledging with sincere gratitude the uniform generosity and kindness, and in saying Good-bye," I may be allowed to express the hope that the constituency will remain true to itl traditions, a.nd will ever be loyally and faithfully served. With kindest remembrances to all,-I am, dear Mr. Morgan, yours very sincerely, 6. T, EVANS.

Irate Councillors I PERSONALITIES EXCHANCED I An acrimonious discussion took plaice at I a meeting of the Llanelly Urban District Council on Monday night, when the recom- mendation of the waterworks committeethat a sum of C500 be paid to the clerk (Mr. Spowa.rt) and JE400 to the surveyor (Mr. Wat- keys) Waf) brought forward. Mr. E. T. Jones presided. Mr. Bramwell Jones moved as an amend- meDft that the council should first decide on the principle of granting an honorarium to the officials. He said Mr. Nathan Griffiths, who had been drawing upon his own imagi- nation, had made statements that were abso- lutely wrong. He (Mr. (irimthe) was one of the mo&t expensive members of the council, and he (the speaker) had challenged him to demy it. He had been responsible for squan- dering hundreds of pounds, which is one caee meant a. ninepenny rate, but when they had something equal to a 3d. rate before the council he went down to his constituents and made rambling stotaments without any basis whatever. The Chairman seconded the amendment. and said that if the amendment was carried it would go a lorng way to effect a compro- mise. Mr. Nathan Griffiths said he would vote against the amendment. On being inter- rupted Mr. Griffiths said, I am somewhat embarrassed by the Philistines that sit round me, and I cannot address the chair. I believe I am entitled to speak at this council." Mr. Guest: Yee, as much aa all of us put together. (Laughter.) Mr. Griffiths: I have a mandate from my constituents to vote against this reoommen- dation, and I am not prepared to state that the clerk and surveyor are entitled to a single fraction. Mr. D. J. Davies denied that any encourage- ment had been given by the members of the watrworks committee to the clerk and surveyor to put forward thir claims. The committee that had been appointed to inves- tigate the matter had simply squabbled with each other and got more into the fog. The amendment was lost, and Mr. Willis Jones proposed a further amendment that a full inquiry be made into the whole qu? tion. Mr. William David saad the matter shouid not be rushed through whilst the town was in hysterics and in panic over the question. In the course of further discussion Mr. a-thari Griffiths said the chairman was partial to Mr. Willis Jones. who, he said, was one of his kidney. There were cries of "Withdraw," whereupon Mr. Griffiths said that he did not apply the term to any member of the council. Mr. James Davies; To whom did it Mr. Griffiths: I am not afraid of what I said Mr. Bramwell Jones: He said that Mr. Jones was one of the kidney whom he elatl as scamps. Mr. Nathan Griffiths: I merelv said that Mr. Jones was one of the kidney because the chairman is partial to thoae. who are in favour of granting this momoy. Mr. Bramwell Jones: It is unfair a.nd if I were you. Mr. Chairman, I would stop the buemees of the council. Mr. Grifftths: Rtop the business if you like. Mr. Willis Jones said he was eorry to hear what he had heard in the council and outside, and no self-respecting man could ait down and listen to such degenerating and opprobrious terms. If he consulted his own feelings and not his duty towards the public, he would have refused to allow any ma,n of that kind alongside of men of independence, spirit. and moral standing in the town. They would eoon degenerate to the class of municipal politics as th-ey had in America, where they had men who were full of suspicion toavards others, but who were full of myst-ery themselves. He had heard suggestions made by the type of men of Mr. Griffiths that they on' the council were simply on the make, and that they were suffering those proposals for what they could get out of t-hem. It wa;g a crying shame not to have suffici-elit faith in their fellow-men and do what was right in the interests of Llanelly. and not to create olass feeling. In the interests of the oonduct of the meeting he would insist that the word should be withdrawn. Mr. Nathan Griffiths: I will withdraw after the tirade that -has been made against, me. I think I am entitled to make an explana- tion. The Ch-airman: I do not think that any good can come of it. Mr. Griffiths: Then you art getting parti.al a,-ai!n. I am quite entitled to reply. I say again he is one of your kidney. Mr. W. Roberts, of the Trades and Labour Council, expressed regret the tone of the speeches, a.nd protested against the attacks. After further disotwion the matter waa referred to an inreatteataan oomnrftifcee con sistriag of all tihe merabeffs of jthe-ooanaiL

Society Divorce Suit BARONET AS CO-RESPONDENT In the Divorce Court to-day Mr. BicJrard Cecil Leigh, whose position was not stated, was granted a decree nisi on the grotmd of the misconduct of his wife, Kathleen, with SdT Wroth Periam Christopher Lethfbridge, Bart. The caee was undefended. Counsel said t'he petitioner and the respon- dent wem married in 18%. The wife had been married before. There was no issue of the marriage. Their married life wae not a happy one. and in September, 1904, the peurties agreed to separate, and the husband allowed his wife £ 1,100 a year. The co-respondent was a friend of the wife's family, and he visited her at the house on one occasion after the marriage, and counsel said he believed the co-respondent knew the lady was married. In 1909 the respondent went to Hamburg, and was joined by a gentleman who passed as Mr. Leigh. The co-respondent was seen at the railway station, and he gave the name of Lidiard. Ledgh gave evidence, and said he was married to the respondent at the Registry- office, CIleleea. They afterwaaxis lived aot Eat/CTi-place. The co-respondent had known We respondent many years before her mar- riage. In reply to Mr. Justice Baa-grave Lleene, the petitioner said he was not sure whether the oo-respoaident knew the respondent was a married woman, but he thought so. Witnesses from a hotel at Hamburg were called to prove that the respondent and co- respondent stayed there together under the name of Leigh. Mr. Kalb managing-clerk to Wontner and Co., said when he saw co-respondent at Ham- burg he asked him if his name was Leth- bridge, and the co-respondent replied "No; you have made a mistake; it is Liddiard." Later witness saw the co-respondent in L-on-,? don, and said to him, "Sir Wroth Leth- bridge." He replfpd, "Yes." Witness said, "I have had the pleasure of meeting you before at Hamburg." He said, "Yes, yes," and seemed very excited. Witness thereupon handed him the citation papers. (Proceeding.)

[WOMAN'S TERRIBLE RECORD i Mary Jane Martin (52) made her 186th appearance at Cardiff on -Monday on a wa,rrant cha-rging her with using ba-d lan- guage in Herbert-Street Iswt September Inspector Bingham explained that she w&< liberated on bail in order to get witnesses, but did not come back, and he arrested her on the warrant. She was also charged with fl-ssaulting Police-constable William Fox and Polie.e--œIl¡:1,a:bie Henry Parsons. Police-con- stable Fox sa-id the woman struck him on the nose and kicked him, and Policeconstable Par-sons alleged that Mary bit him on the finger. They had to take her to the station on a truck. Inspector Bingham said defen- dant first came before the court in 1877, and her appearances had been very regular since. Altogether she had served eighteen years and 36 weeks in prison, whilst she had been cautioned 56 times. She had been up 23 times for assaulting the police, and once had a con- current term of eiifht month* for attempting to istab the police. For police assaults alone ehe had served 136 weeks. As a disorderly character she had been tip 119 times, and seven times for robbery with violence. Other charges included damage to police uniforms, smashing workhouse and police windows, and loitering. Her terms included three years, eighteen months, twelve months, and nine months. She was, undoubtedly, a most violent woman. The inspector added that be arrested her within an hour after she re- entered the city. Mr. C. H. Bird gave her three months' hard labour, and upon hear- ing the sentence the prisoner made & daeh I &t the constables.

A CLAIM FOR Y,10,000 I A special meeting of the Cardiff Museum Committee will b» held to-morrow (Wednes- day) for the purpose of considering a claim sent in by Mr. Edwin Seward, the well- known architect, in respect of what he con- siders to have been his appointment some five or eix years ago am architect of the new museum to be built at Cardiff. It is CùmmOlD knovrleage t.ha.t this is a matter which has been in dispute between Mr. Seward and the museum committee of the Cardiff Corpora- tion for the past the years, and we under- stand that Mr. Seward, acting on legal advice, has now put forward a, claim for £ 10,000, and that the case will come before a judge of the High Court, sitting without a jury. The case is not entered for the present tuasizes at Cardiff. but may, poesibly, be tried at the ivsxt Swan sea A seizes. One of our representatives got into oommnnioation with Mr. Seward over the telephone on Monday evening, an-d invited him to confirm or refute the accuracy or otherwise of the above par- ticulars of his claim. Mr. Seward courteously, but firmly, declined to do either, on the ground that he was not justified as a litigant concerned in the action in doing anything that would help to make his claim public before it had been inquired into by the museum committee. We are in a position to state, however, that the amount of Clo,ooo is substantially the sum claimed by Mr. Seward.

HOW AP IWAN DIED I Private letters received at Carnarvon con- tain full particulars of the cold-blooded murder of Llwyd ap Iwan in Patagonia on December 29. Three men entered the store and engaged Ap Iwan and his two etore assistants in fi-iendly conversation. At a preconceived signal, however, the bandite suddenly drew their revolvers, and, crying Hands up," had the three Welshmen at their mercy. Ap Iwan was roughly ordered, at the point of a, revolver, to lead one of the bandits into the safe- room. No one but the actual murderer and his viotim witnessed the final tragedy in the inner room, but from what the two store assistants, held up by the other bandits' revolvers, actually heard and by what was subsequently discovered, the story can be pieced together. No eooner did Ap Iwan find himself alone with only a single oppo- nent tihaoi he leaped upon the bandit. A ehot partially disabled the gallant Welshman, and a terrific struggle ensued, and it was only after receiving four bullets in his body that Ap Iwan succumbed. The robber hastily opened and rifled the safe. Returning with his booty to the outer store, he grimly remarked that he had "done for" Ap Iwan for attempting to defend the safe. Loading their booty, the bandits made off across the pampas. telling the etore assis- tants they were welcome to summon all the world to their aid. The store assistants found Ap Iwan dea-d by the side of the safe he had bravely, but vainly, defended.

MARKET LIGHTING I The Cardiff Property and Com- mittee to-day oonsidered the suggesited re- arrangement of the lighting of the Ceotral Market-hall. The Chairman (Mr. A. C. Kirk) said the suggestion by Mr. Ellis was that th«r should put up are light*, the same as in the fish market. MY. Morgan Thomas: Mr. EHie says it is a saving to put these lamps up. I question it. On the proposition of Mr. Morgan Thomas, a sub-committee was appointed to visit the Market-hall at nig&t time.

NEWPORT TUNNEL FATALITY At the iThqueet on Monday concerning the death of John Davies (49), a haulier, of Tre- degar, who was found unconscious in the Newport tunnel, Mr. Ar Evans, the Newport gtailioum&ster, .,said the man made a statement to him to the effect that be wandered from the station to where he received the accident. He had intended to walk to Cilfynydd, when he slipped. The jury returned a, verdict of "Accidental death.

I Boy Scouts' Movement. —— -0 GENERAL'S GRATIFICATION Previous to leaving for Swansea to-day, General Baden-Powell explained his un- bounded satisfaction with the exceedingly smart manner in which the Boy Scouts turned out at Cardiff yesterday, and said that their general appearance and behaviour on parade were fully eqaaJ to the beet he had seen in Great Britain. He could never have desired better arrangements for the inspec- tion, and what pleased him, above all things, was the great number of efficiency badges worn by the Scouts, four of whom had also l disting-nished themselves by life-saving. He expressed his personal thanks to General Lee and Colonel Wilson, the commis- sioner and deputy commissioner respec- tively for the Oardiii district, for all that they had done to make the Boy Scout movement a success in the district. In this, as in all other national movements. Cardiff was setting the other towns in Wales b, fine example. The general announced tliat Viscount Tredegar had kindly consented to act as president of the Monmouthshire SoouAs, and that Lord Glanusk would also act as presiden,t and commissioner of the Scouts in Breoonshire. Mr. 0. M. Williams, of Newport, had also kindly promised to act, m conjunc- tion with other gentlemen, in organising a branch of the Boy Scouts in the Uskside town B.P." AND JUDGE'S ESCORT Six "service" members of the Glamorgan Constabulary, who composed the mounted esoort to the judges at the Glamorgan Assizes this week, were inspected by Lieutenant-General Sir Baden Powell in Westgate-street to-day. The hero of Mafekirig was particularly inteiested to learn tha.t one od the members belonged to his old regi- ment, the 5th Dragoon Guards, and cordially shook each of the "service" men (in charge of Sergeant Smith) by the hand.

BXING. Woigast and Welsh Ad "Woleast's first reference to a fight with Freddie Welsh was that he would give the English champion a battle, but would require £ 4,(XX) for his end. He received altogether for defeating Nelson £ EC0. Battling1 Nelson oilers to fight Wolgust again, and says he wil present the new champion with L2,000 if he agrees to enter the ring. Entrants for Amateur Championship The following are the men the Welsh I Amateur Boxing Association are sending up to London for the Amateur Boxing Associa- tion Championships on Mitrch 16:—Ba-ti M'Carthy, Welsh amateur bantam champion (Cardiff), and Arthur tiingeil, Welsh amateur middle-weight champion (Caerau, Y.aesteg). The other winners at the recent Welsh championships, T. Jenkins and Ernie Hooper, both of Cardiff, have cried off, as it is impossible for them to get away. The Neath Boxing Club a-re sending up three of their men, including W. S. Bobbins, runner- up at Newport, and the Lynn Boxing Club, Cardiff, are sending up J. D. Moses Evans. T. B. Huse, who intended competing in London at the request of Mr. Frank Parks, who was t.be refeTee in the Welsh championships, will be unable to go up as he has a business engagement in France on that date. Before the season ends there is every prospect of an amateur competition taking place at Newport to work up local talent. The New- port Athletic Club, the nnest athletic club in this district, if not in England, hope to appoint a basing instructor for the next winter's gymnasium term. I Three Knock-Out in Cardiff Contests I The spectators at the Cardiff Badminton Club's weekly touraament had plenty for their money on Monday, there baing three dramatic knock-outs. The first came in the six-round bout between Ivor Jones, a local footballer, and Young Priest (Cardiff;. The former was much heavier and found the nose early. Priest took the count in the fourth round, but wag a worthy opponent. Rivalry of an acute nature brought Charlie James and Young Corsi t-ogether for a ten- round match, and the opening- bout was at a furious pace, Corsi scoring with remarkable lefts. James, however, kept cool and collected, with the result that when his opponent weakened he took the aggressive and sent him down for the full oount in the third round. Kid Fitzpatrick (of Birmingham) wa.s out- weighted by Young Proberts (Mertbyr) in the twenty-round match for L15 a-side and the olub purse, but he showed really clever foot- work, and put in such pretty leads that all were heartily sorry to see him put out in the fifth round. Sexton (Rhymney), a lusty son of the onoe- famous champion pedestrian, had a four- ronnd no-decision trial with Fred Hayes (Cardiff) and shaped well.

FOURTH TEST MATCH CAPE TOWX. Tuesday. In fine weather, and before a fairly large attendance, play was resumed here to-day in the Fourth Test Match. The wicket was in splendid order when the Colonials, who haA scored 93 for the lass of two wickets, con- tinued their first innings. Commaille (not out, 39) was accompanied to the wicket by iNourse, while Buekenham and Blythe shared the attack. EIght runs were added to the tataJ and then Commaille was caught and bowled try Buekenham. Faulkner came in 'but after making 10 he fell to a catch by Fane off the bowler, the fourth wicket fadling at 113. Sibley Snookc then joined Nourse, and the score rose slowly to 131. when a double change was made in the bowling. Thompson going on for Blythe and Wooiley for Buckenha.m. This change was imme- diately successful, the South African captain being clean bowlÐd by Wooiley with the total unchanged. Sinclair was the next man in. and he hit up ten before he was dismissed at 143. Nourse, who had made 17, was then partmered by Strieker. Without. any addi- tion to the total the new-comer was leg before to Thompson. Scbwarz cam? in seventh wicket down, and the score rose to 160 when Nourse left, and Vojrler followed in. At 175 Simpson-Hay-ward bowled W,n-n.Jley's end. Shortly afterwards the lunch interval arrived, with the t,wt,.il standing 180 for cizht wickets, Sohwarz being not out 21 and Vogler not out 6.
