Troops Under Canvas MERTHYR DETACHMENT'S LONG MARCH ABERYSTWYTH, Monday Night. Following their commendable and soldier- like example of last year, when they tramped from Merthyr to the camp at Ammanford, a contingent of the 5th Welsh, comprising thir- teen Merthyr and seven Aberdare men. in charge of Lieutenant II. H. iSouthey, of Merthyr, have made the long journey to Lovesgrove by the north route. Leaving the Drill-hall, Merthyr, at seven p.m. on Wednes- day, the happy band reached Aberystwyth about 5.30 en Sunday night, hoping to be in time to join the main body of the bat- talion on their detrainment at Aberystwyth. The battalion, however, had arrived via Bow iStreet, so that the detachment, after making a tour of the town, mad-? a spirited march out to the camping ground, where they were warmly received on their arrival by the com- manding officer, Colonel A. P. James. Despite the unpropitious weather they had to contend with, the men, who got wet through on three occasions during the march, were in excellent spirits, and appeared to be none the worse' for their experience. En route they bivouacked on the roadside, the following being the time-tables and route they took:- Wednesday.—Left Merthyr at 7.0 p.m., and arrived at Storey Arms at 9.30 p.m.; distanoe, 11 miles. Thursday.—Left Storey Arms 7.50 a.m.. arrived Llandovery 9.30 p.m.; 22 miles. Friday.-L-eft Llandovery 7.0 a.m., arrived Lampeter 7.0 p.m.; 21 miles. Saturday.—Left Lampeter 9.0 a.m., arrived Llanon 5.0 p.m.; 17 miles. Sunday—Left Llanon 12.30 p.m., arrived Aberystwyth 5.50 p.m.; 14 miles. This works out at an average daily march of seventeen miles. Castialties iii the Camp Lance-sergeant Prioe, of Ystmdgynlais, who was run over by a motor-transport on Sun- day, and wos removed to the Aberystwyth Infirmary, is reported to be considerably better this evening. Two cafiualtaeo also are reported by the 4th Welsh Brigade of the R.F.A., Sergeant Harold, of the Ammunition Column. "lnd another member of the .New- port Battery having been >>adly kicked by horses. The town this evening is looking quite gay with Territorials, who have taken advantage of an eyening off to come in in their hundreds. The picture they presented on the promenade in their scarlet. ,ue, and khaki uniforms was a very striking one. it is ques- tionable whether the country roads around Aberystwyth have ever been traversed so mnoh as they have been during 'the last few days, gaping holes having been cut into them by the constant whirl of motor and other transport, vehicles conveying equipment, baggage, &c., from the railway stations to the camping grounds. I chanced to meot General Lloyd returning from the Bow Street camp this afternoon, but for the present he refused to be drawn as to the nature of the manoeuvres contemplated for next week. "It is yet early to disclose anything," observed the general officer com- manding, whose steed was covered with mud. but my anxiety for the present is to see how the preliminary traiiiing which I have ordered to be carried out under the direc- tion of commanding officers and the briga- cliers ihi-s week will progress." It is unfortunate that the weather has been so unpropitious to start the training of the division, but the prospects this evening are considerably brighter. Heads of battalions an(1 brigades -are busy to-night studying maps of the surrounding country for the manoeuvres. The Divisional Telegraph Com- pany from Cardiff have been working like Trojans during the last couple of days con- necting the two camps with telegraphic and telephonic communications. I.. »-ood tor territorials r. ijie i mi .Battalion weisn -toegtmeni are now properly settled down to camp lile at Haverfordwest. The weather conditions have been most unpleasant, but for all that the rank and file make the best of matters by cheering and helping each other in every possible way. Already the invigorating effects of the open-air life are seen in the wonderful appetites the men develop. In camp there are nearly 350. in command of Colonel Wibon. Kach man is allowed lib. of meat, lib. of bread, and an ample supply of provisions per diem. Reveille is sounded at 5.30, when the I 'l'nAYl ;>.n.noI.l1L1o.r1 u;+l.nn.I> .nr1 1"t; I after whioh Colonel Wilson pute them through a course of Swedish drill. Breakfast of bacon and eggs follows, Itnd, after an interval, the battalion moves out for a run OIl sooutinef lines and returns to dinner of boiled or roast beef. This is an excellent daily meal, which ,nt daily m-eal, which puts everyone on the best of terms with him- self. The cooking arrange-menu, are remark. a.bly efficient, the large oven and dixies being capable of oooking joints for twice the num- ber ot men. j&acn tent uas an orderly, whose duty it is to see to the distribution of food. Tea is also a pleasant afternoon affair, and the evening is spent at a sing-song in the Y.M.C.A. tent or in a walk to town. Colonel Wilson, Major Hunter, Major. Alhurdyce, and Major Perkins do everything possible to encourage the spirit of comradeship, and as a result there is the best of good foeling existing and rivalry in orderliness ajid neat- ness. On Monday the battalion cycled to Little Haveu, seven miles away, in the morning, and in tlio afternoon were drilled by their respective company officers. A Cale iii Cai-np {" tl: D_ u_ goa* vi \Aiurws&) s\*jy U/L are undergoing their annual training at South Hook Camp, Milford Haven. This bran-ch of the Territorial Forces of the oounty of Glamorgan consists of one electric light company for manning the defence lights of the South Wales forts and of two works companies intended for the construction of works of defence of various kinds. Major W. H. Dashwood Caple is in oommand, and the officers are Captains A. O. Evans, T. O. Edwards, and E. Jones, Lieutena.nts J. R. M. Stanfiekl, R. B. Corfleld, W. iS. Courtis, G. T. Biggs, F. H. Hyhart, and J. H. Hughes,.IAeti- tenant and Adjutant J. C. Pocock, and Surgeon-major W. Lloyd Edwards, R.A.M.C. Quartermaster-sergeant E. Sawyer will aet- ata quartermaster during the training. The corps has gone into camp some 280 strong. For the first six nights bhe electric light oompany, in conjunction with the Regular Engineers, will run the lights on mobilisa- tion lines, exactly a.s they would do when called up for service on the outbreak of hostilities. The experience will form a test of the value and the suitabili'y of the Terri- torial Forces for this branch of work. The lights will be run continuously from dusk until dawn. The telephonists of the oom- panies will go through a course of line running and the setting up of field tele- phone stations, and will also be instructed in the work of maintaining the telephonic ooi- munication of a fortress. The Territorials had a, rough experience on Sunday. A fierce gale, with heavy rain, sprang up, and as the tents were pitched towards the weather the men had a trying time in the exposed situation. During Sun- day night two marquees were blown down, but without injury to any of the imen. All parades were suspended on Sunday, services being held in the dry canteen and another marquee. Bain was heavy on Monday morning, and, although the troops paraded for company drill, it poured so heavily that the officer commanding directed that "No parade" should be sounded. After breakfast the rain cleared away, but the wind continued so high that the works company intended for the Engineer stores at Pennar could not cross the haven. Accident to a Sergeant An instructor of the ftoyal Engineers attached to the Cardiff and Barry Works Oompany, named Sergeant P. Mautell, met with an accident which might have been attended by serious consequences. He lost control of his bicycle while riding down a steep hill, and, in order to save himself from running into a stone wall that divided the road from a dip into the beach, be turned his machine and ran into a five-barred gate. The machine was smashed, but the rider was fortunate in escaping with somewhat severe oontuaions and a bad slsfUring. .>-

Missing Postal Order I Missin Pstal Orderl NAVAL CADET ACCUSED I [Scene Between Counsel & Judge ——— In the King's Bench Division to-day Mr. Justice Phillimo-re and a special jury heard the petition of Tight by Mr. Martin Archer- Shee, of Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, sup- pliant to the King, on behalf of his son George, formerly a cadet at the Royal Naval Training College at Osborne, for relief. Suppliant, it was explained, sought a decla- ration that the Admiralty had committed a breach of contract in that he had been called upon by the Admiralty to withdraw his son from the college as the result of the theft of a postal order. which the A dm l ra 11 y decided had been taken by the lad. Sir Edward Carson urged that the Lords of the Admi- ralty had not disclosed the report upon which they had acted, but he hoped this would now he produced. The lad had at the time £ 6 in the bank, and it was absurd to suppose that this being the oitse he would have delibe- rately stO:611 and forged an order for the shillings hoelonging to another hoy. Such assumption was against all experience. "The son wa.s branded as a thief and a forger—a. hoy of thirteen years of age was labelled and ticketed for the rest of his future life as a thief," declared counsel. Sir Edward Carson's voice broke, and he showed great emotion as he protested against the injustice done a little boy of thirteen without communication with his friends and without his case ever having been gone into. Judge Asked to Witndraw Sir Edward, in the course d bi speech, referred to a report made as to the band- writing on the stolen P.O. hy Mr. Gurrin, the expert in writing, and added significantly, "1 shall have some question to put to Mr. Gurrin." C His Lordship That is net a Nvoilliy obser- vation Sir E. Carson I resent your lordship's say- ing that. Why should I not put a question to lr. Gumnr His Lordship: Everyone knows Mr. Gurrin. Sir E. Carson: I hope your lordship will withdraw what you said. His Lordship: I can't Mr E. Carson (regarding his lordship silently for a moment): Then I don't minil it. The learned counsel pointed out that the boy, in reply to the commander at the col- lege, admitted he had bought a P.O. for 15s. 6d. at the 11.0. on the day in question, but absolutely denied that he had cashed one. So doubt the postmistress said she thought the boy who bought a '15. 6d. order had cashed a 5s. one, bnt she could not identify him, and counsel submitted this was evidence on which no one could rely. (Proceeding.)

FORGERY PROVED! I GELLIGAER DRAMA » THREE MINOR COUNTS TAKEN I John Jones Guilty j PU BLlC INTEREST IN TRIAL I By OUR SPECIAL REPRESENTATIVE. What M regarded as the biggest municipal drama in the hi-story of Wales opened at Swansea Assizes to-day (Before Mr. Justice Scrutton). when six ex-members and two ex- offirials of the now defunct parish council cf Gelligaer were proceeded again for alleged conspiracy between January 1. 1905, and June 30. 1907, in connection with the accounts of the council. The full list of defendants is as under:- On the conspiracy charge— John Jones (43), Hengoed. ex-clerk to the council. Albert E..Tones (32), Ilengoed, ex-collector and surveyor to the council. On the charge of aiding and abetting— Rees Thomas (43), Vochriw. collier, ex-chair- man. James Da vies (46). Abertysswg, labourer, ex- chairman. Joseph Cooper (45), Aberbargoed, collier, ex- vice-chairman. John Roberts (46'. Pontlottyn, collier, ex- councillor. T"k j .lJi." III _uor>ert<s (4j), Bargoed. attendance officer and ex-councillor. John Davies (60), Pontlottyn. collier. In addition, Heee Thomas, James Davies, and John Roberts were charged under the Public Bodies (Corrupt Practices) Act. An army of counsel were engaged on :he ? case. K. ( Ir,, S. ?r- A?ei Thomas, K.C.. M.P.. Mr» S. A. T. RowJatt (Junior Counsel to the Trea- sury). and Yr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Meesrs. Ijewis Morgan and Box. Cardiff) repre- sented the Public Prosecutor. Mr. B. Francis-Williams, K.C., and Mr. Lova.t-Fra.ser (instructed by Mr. D. W. Jones, Merthyr) were for the Brothers Jones. Mr. St. John Francis-Williams and Mr. Wil- fred Lewis (instructed by Mr. F. P. Charles, Merthy) re.present.ed other defendants, and Mr. Hugh Jones (instructed by Mr. T. J. Thomas, Bargoed) defetided Cooper. The charges covered thirteen sheets of the calendar-a record for local assize cases. Court Crowded Ph -»TV>nt x i.. ?, u.. o.v.vv yuuuv, J.lvta(, in Tne case |vas m.anifested by the large crowd waiting for the opening of the case, bit after the wit- ??sF<s had been accommodated there w.,? little rocm for the general public. J he Brothers Jones were first placed in the dock, but t the suggestion of fr. Abel I ThoInas. only John Jones wa £ ajraigned, Albert Jones leaving the court after his lorll- ship had said he understood it to be agreed that the shorter charges should be first ta.ken against John Jones, and then the charges of alleged falsification of book;, and accounts. It was desirable that the charge of falsification of minutes should be taken quite early in the case, because, obviously, muoh of the case turned upon that. The ccnni first proed with was that in January, 19JS, John Jcnes forged a receipt for the payment of £ 13 10s., which purported to be signed by Zaceheus Lewis, a workman formerly employed on the paths. i COUNSEL'S BRIEF OPENING Receipt Alleged to be Forged The firsit couat, said Mr. Abel Thomas, was a simple and short one. Following widespread development, there had been a great increase in the ratable value of the parish. John Jones had been assistant overseer from 1901 to 1907, during which time there was a good deal of money spent on footpaths, a number of men being employed. In his capacity as clerk, John Jones had to keep the books of accounts, and tee statement presented to Mr. Propert, the auditor, showed an expenditure of £ 649 odd to the men engaged on the paths and gates. On Mr. Propert s next inquiry, defendant produced a large number of receipts purporting to have been given by a workman i.ngaged en this particular work I i-io to 1907, including the one upon which th" present count was based Leowis was unable to write. and the receipt in question v given by means of a mark, which was witnessed by John Jones But it happened that Lewis was ill and unable to work from the end of April, 1906, for practically twelve months, or, at any rate, for a long time, and he not only disclaimed knowledge of the receipt, but stated that he did not work the time represented. Mr. M D. Propert. district auditor of the Local Government Board, formally produced the voucher in question, which, he aaid, turned up during his audit of the accounts of the parish. Replying to Mr. B. Francis-Williams, Mr. Propert stated that a large I)opula,tion had sprung up at Gelligaer through the deve- lopment of its mineral resources. The First Joke I Mr. Francis-Williams: I daresay in your I inquiry you discovered that the parish I council were a very progressive body; that I they went in for everything that involved an I expenditure of the ratepayers' money, as progressive bodies do? (Laughter.)—-Not at I all. Tnere are certain Aots winch are called adoptive Acts. They adopted them all. didn't they ?—No, they only adopted the Burials Act. The Libraries Act?-No. They turned to, but somebody put the stopper on"-No, I don't think they ever varied. Did they provide recreation grounds largely?—1They did, I think, one or two. Mr. B. Franeits-Wjl-liaims: You say that as though they usaa-lly got them by the gross. (Laughter.) Guilty on First Count On the first count inquired into John Jones was found guilty. Za/ooheus Lewis, tJle next, witness, in answer to Mr. Ivor Bowen, domed signing tlW receipt shcrwTi him. Addressing t.he court, for t-h-o defence, Mr. R. Francis-Williams commented strongly on the fact that not a single member of the parish council had heen called to state that the money in question had been pa.id without their knowledge. Remember, gentlemen," learned counsel urged, that this man was liable to be questioned at a.ny meeting of the council, and at a.ny moment, as to wha.t the money was required for." He pointed out tha-t the oharge in question was in 1906, the audit took place in 190S, and they had. in effect, from Mr. Prqfiert that defendant, conveyed to him the impression that he had not got. the vouchers, and would endeavour to get them. Lewis, upon whose evidence the charge depended, was an uneducated man. who oouild-not write his name, and yet he was brought to tell them tie particular days OIl which he worked in 1906. gWhat the Judge Said Although this is pa.rt of a larger oase (said Mr. Justice Soratton to the jury) you must decide in this particular charge whether John Jones forged this document. Afteir briefly analysing the evidence the judge alluded to the fact that John Jones had not gtrtie into the witness-box to state how the receipt came to be signed. If, as was suggested it was a mistake (he went on), it was open for him to go into the box and tell you, so that you oould judge his explanation If Lerwis had authorised him to put that oroas on the document it was I open for him to tell you so. It was open, I I say, for mm to give you wnatever expiaua- tioon there is of the document. He has not done so. You wouLd expect any man who bad made an honest mistake to be anxious to go into the box and tell the jury how it happened, and you miwt judge for yourself why he has not done so. Guilty on First Count 1 After brief consideration, the jury returned a verdict of guilty on the first count. The next count related to an alleged forgery by Jotun Jones of a. rooeipt. for £9, alleged to have been signed by George Uzzell, Voohriw. a former chairman of the oouncil, who was onoe employed as a workman by the oounciL Mr. Abel Thomas intimated that he pro- posed dealing with one or two oases of the same class first. Mr. M. D. Tfr arwvrt-ha.Trng L prodTuwl receipt, waA examined by Mr. Lovat-Fraser, and stated that lie had been in the pariah previously in 1S98. Mr. Lovat-Fraser: Who was assistant over- seer then?—The father of the defendant. You had to complain of the muddle exists ing in the parish then?—There was no muddle. The question then was that the receipts for the ratoptyers did not correspond with the receipts cnequee. When you began your audit in October, 1907, did you say that you remembered the trouble you had years ago?—Yes, but that referred to the officer- at the audit. The work had increased considerably in th.?. t ten years ?—Yes. Were there any additional clerks besides the Jonesets?—-Not officially. You started your audit in rather an angry fra.me of mind?—Certainly not. You -ire inclined to be severe and exact- ing?—Not at all. I wanted things to be cor- rect, tiia.t is all. One of the Chairmen I- 11 ?.? vieorge uzzen. 01 vocirriw, formerly a cnair- man of the parish council, and who after- wards was employed by the council as a workman, gave evidence to the effect that he only worked for the council for three weeks in 1906, and was paid £ 4 10s. by Albert Jones. He did not receive C9 6s. for six weeks' work jn J9;X;, and authorised no one to sign a receipt. I :¡ú I'. Lovat-Fraser: I suppose you took a keen interest in the affairs of the parish?— No, sir; not very keen. (Laughter.) I attended the meetings a.s often as possible. And yet you did not hesitate to take office as chairman ?—No. Did you know things were unsatisfactory in 1898?—I .knew something was the matter. Why did you not try and remedy them? You were good enough to be chairman for four years?—I had all confidence in our clerk, Mr. John Jones's father. Did you think the late Mr. Jones_was over- worked in 1898 ?-I did not know exactly what he htid to do. I think he was advised by the auditor to be assisted. And yet you. as chairman of the council, did not give him any assistance?—No. Defendant was found guilty on this count elso. The Court next inquired into a charge against John Jones of forging a receipt for £ 18 3s. &d., purporting to he figned by John I)ascoe, of Pen gam, another employe of the council. The receipt forming the subject ot this charge related to "waares and train H_ fares." Mr. Abel Thomas said the sigria-t-ure was "J. J. Pascoe," whereas the man had only one initial. Pascoe in evidence denied he had authorised anyone to t'ign a receipt, and the signature certainly was not his. In cros.s-examination by If, B. Francis- Williams as to the train fares, he admitted that he had a "few shillings twice or three times." Mr. B. Francis-Williams remarked that the late lr. Cox (auditor) had not required vouchers, but Mr. Propert did. and the defen- dant had to get them a." best he could. "It is clear." he addc(l. "that, the account was made up. not for the purposes of defrauding, but to satisfy the demand of the auditor." Referring to the fact that Jones had not beeu called, he said it was no doubt all clement which should be taken into con- sideration, but it was not conclusive, and the jury had no right to assume tha.t because wa-A not called he was guilty. A man might be innocent, hut when he entered tio e witness-box he might be ero^s-examined on other ma-tter, which might be inconvenient to him. The Judge agreed, b)tt pointed out to the jury that they were entitled to take ino consideration the fact that the man, having the opportunity of giving his explanation, did not choose to take it. The jury then returned a verdict of guilty on the third count.

G lamorga- Assizes Mr. Justice Channell presided in the seocno oriminal oourt at CHamorsa. Assizes at Swansea to-day. Joseph. Beynon was charged with wound- ing John Morris at Go;-seirk>n on May 14 by throwing at him a stone, which destroyed the sight of one eye. Mr. Griffith Jones (instructed by Mr. L Richards) prosecuted, and Mr. Douglas Lewis (instructed by Mr. Viner Leeder) defended. The prosecutor objeoted to the defendant's conduct in a back male near his house. and pushed him ¡ away. He threw a stone at prosecutor, and caused damage to one of his eyes. His lord- ship advised defendant to plead guilty, stating that he would discharge him on recognisances, ;;s he thought it was a case for compensation, the act being not a wilful but an unlawful one. Defendant did so. and his lordship directed the jury to return a verdict of guilty. The verdict was then returned as directed, and, upon carrying on the offer to pay the prosecutor £5, defendant was released on his own recognisances.

"Jack the Ripper-" I IS HE IN SOUTH AFRICA? I Dr. Forbe.s Winslow, at Bow-«Lr4iot this morning, made an application to Mr. Marsham on l>ehalf of an Irieh medical student, named Grant. In 1905. he said, Grant was sentenced to ten years" penal servitude for wounding a Woman in White- chapel, and since his release letters have been appearing in the pr, signed by a solicitor, to the effect that he was. in fact. none other than "Jack the Ripper," but had died in prison. Dr. Winslow saiÜ that Gr-ant, so far from being d.ead. ""a, in court, and a lady in Australia, who had read ef the allegations against him, had written asking that Ms case might he taken up. as she was oon- vinced in her own mind that the real -T"k the Hipper w;),s at present working in South Africa. This lady had been engaged j.) a. iiian whom, after ascertaifling certain facts and obtaining a confession, she gave up to the Australian police as Jack the K pper." though they discharged him with- out ascertaining bis history previous to t890.

ÛY-Pt. the first half of the match at Rainford's course on Juiy 14 Mayo gained a lead of six holes, so that he entered upou the second thirty-sin; holes over his own oourse to-day with that handicap. Everything pointed to Mayo winning as comfortal)]y as he did in a similar match with Rainford twelve months ago, when the last named suffered a double figure defeat. Both men have appeared for England in the professional international rnatci; vith Scot- land. Mayo, although only 26 years of age, has a fine record as a. stake playf- r, while Eiiiuforl, who is 32, had aueh confidence in his game a year ago that he openly chal- lenged the world. The weather was fine. At the turn Mayo was 5 holes up, and he finished the round only 3 to the good. The play or both sides was poor. At the ninth Mayo had the hole easily. Having 2 for the hole and only an inch putt to negotiate, he touched R3in- ford's ball, and the latter el-aimed the hole. j Scores. Rainford 80 Mayo 82
