The Tipperary Struggle. I REPRESSION AND VIOLENCE AT CA8HEL. Crowds Charged by Cavalry. I MANY PERSONS INJURED. I A Dublin correspondent telegraphing last night says :-To-day there was a renewal at Cashel of the scenes of violence and repression witnessed at Tipperary on Sunday and yesterday. A meeting r w:i. announced to be held to welcome Mr J. I Dillon, M.P., and Mr Wua. O'Brien, M.P., and as I anuouneed yesterday it was proclaimed by the Government. Large forces of police were I drafted into the town, and the military were held in readiness, and eventually calied into requisition. The Hussars were ordered to charge the people, and a scene of great excite- ment ensued, a number of persons beiug injured. Wtien Mr Dillon aud Mr O'Brien left Tipperary last u'ght., they were followed by police on cars. They manag-d, however, to elude their pur!!t¡"ll. and to make prop trations for to-day's meeting. At an early hour this morning the forces of the (Jrown were astir. Hussars p;, trolled the country, j and the police held possessiouof the town. Kiriicu- I loua as it may appear, J Police witli Field-giasses I were postea on uie it JCK ot Uasi.e;, and eagerly scanned the country round to discover a possible meeting. Word was sent round that a meeting was to be held at Barrytord, about half a. mile from Cashel, and ihig place was reached by the members ot Parliament without difficulty in spite of the precautions and preparations of the authorities. The gather- ing was presided over Iy the Hev Father Ry..n, P.P. Mr John Dillon and Mr Patrick O'Brien, ]}1.P.'s, addressed tho meaning, which then dis- persed. The members of Parliament aftei wards crossed the river Suir in traps at a shallow part, and were followed across by a long line of oars and horsemen, and proceeded to Boherlahau Ctiurch. Hore a considerable number of people bad gathered, and a forca of police was present. Mr William O'Brien at once addressed the people in spite of the repeated protests of the head con- stable in charge of the police force. The con- stabulary forced their way between Mr O'Brien and the crowd, and struck at the people. Oue inan directed a b.low at Mr O'Brien, and A Scene of Fierce Excitement I followed. The police were then momentarily withdrawn, and Mr O'Brien returned to address the people, but was shortly afterwards again interrupted. Upon the police attempting to break up the meeting, Mr OIB; ien called out I say we claim nothing here to-day tut com- mon fair play, and fair play we will have yet at the hands of the British peOPJe'1 E?gtishmen have the right of peaceful meeting and of combination, and the rights that Englishmen claim we claim. We will never surrender them at the word and command of every policeman who chooses to order us about like slaves. (Cheers.) We will yield to superior force, but wo will assert the right which was conceded to Englishmen in Tipperary only a mouth ago." (C.ieors.) At this moment A Party of Hussars with Mr Bruen, R. M., at their head, galloped up. The police, when they saw the Hussars approach, plucked up courage, and rushed on the people. Mr William O'Brieu received a blow frotna baton on the arm. Au old man, named Maher. was brutally beaten, and was carried ta an a.ijoir¡jpg I bouse bleeding profusely. Mr Dillon and Mr O'Brieu succeeded in getting the paople away, and the cavalry then dashed up through the village. Mr Diilou and Mr O'Brien then left for Cashel, which they reached about four o'clock. When they arrived the people in the streets cheered loudly. The Hussars then drew their sabres, aud the police fell upon the people. Even women and childreu wero amongst the injured. After the baton charge the Hussars charged through the street at full gallop, but without infl cting one-tenth of tho injury caused by the police. Oa the side of the police oue man was struck with a stone. Concerning tho pro- ceedings at the conclusion of and aftar the second meeting, a Cork correspondent trilegrapli-; When a party of Husears, with Mr Bruen, R.M., riding at their head, galloped IIIlu view IU the distance, the party of policemen, who for several minutes had couducted themselves quietly as if irresolute whether or not to attempt the suppres- sion of the meeting, again suddenly Commenced an Attack on the People I with their batons tho moment they saw the cavalry appoar. A (Wee tussle succeeded. Mr Dillon and Father Ryan were several times struck at, Mr O'Brieu jumped iato the midst of the police and seized the baton of a constable who had struck at a countryman, and was raising his baton again. The policeman turned round I and faced Mr O'Brieu, but did not strike him. I Personal encounters were going on around them, several on both sides beiug knocked down. Mr O'Brien received a blow frum a baton on the r.rm, I and soveral blows were aimed at Mr Dillon. For a minute or two the scene was ono of inteuse ex- citement. An old iiiaii vvii,) was badly iiijurad on I the back of the head faced the police and was I about to rfcoi ve auotoer stroke when he wasso'z-d by Mr O'Brien and taken into an a'ijoinu? bt)ue bleedil1í pwfuRe]y. Mr Dillon was re- tnonst.r?tn? with a coustabia wh?) Mr Bruen, who by this time had with the Huas?ra ridden close up, called out mind that man, but clear these people away," By the efforts of Father Ryan, Mr Dillon, and Mr O Brien, the people wore Hayed from further injuries, and the vilinga was cleared, the cavalry taking station at one end and the police blocking t.ha road on the other side. Messrs Dillon, W. O'Brien, P. O'Brien, and Father Ryan proceeded to Cashel, followed by the police and military. Oil entering, the town ■ they were I'?udiy cheered by the peopieasaembied j in the streets. The Police were Ordered to Charge. I This they did. S.iveral parlous ware I seriously inj ured with baton strokes. After some tillii quiet was partly restored, and Messrs Diilon and O'Brien proceeded to the hotel. The constabulary cleared the street in the vicinity, and cordons formed by the police and Hussars were drawn across. Subse- quently Air O'B' ien proceeded to the telegrapii 1 tiicci, abou", 500 yards distant, in order to defpatch S0U1-J telegrams. He was followed by about thirty p•Jlie^ with drawn batons under i-he command of Mr Bruen, R. M. The people. W!IU were standing beyoud the cordon began to cheer as he passed, and the police immediately charged, striking madly with their batons with- out discrimination. Men, women, and cbildren were knocked down, aud several were badly injured. A few stones were at this point thrown, and one constable was struck on the forehead nud cut. The police became perfectly furious and charged ami struck at everyone till not a "ouf, with the exception of Mr O'Brien, Mr Condon, M.P., and a few reporters, remained in the viciniiy. When Messrs O' Brien and Condon resumed their way towards tha telegraph office they were Followed by a Dozen Policemen, I who kppr. a few teet behind, auJ soma of whom indulged iu tin* most offensi Vl1 observations towards tlie lion, genrleman. They made use of such ex- pressions as 0,1 you beggar," A thick skiu," Mr O'Brien turned round to them and said If you have auything to eay, say it we never conceal our thoughts and immediately after- wards entered the telegraph-office, the police Halting outside. Shortly afterwards Mr P. O'Brieu arrived, and stood ou the steps, and the police made similar offensive observations towards him, and when he attempted to remontrate with tem for tbeir action one of then reinat-k-6d "? Tije devil a much we care about you, anyhow, or any of your beggarly party/' Ttiis behaviour passed without the least attempt at censure from the officers in charge. Several I A nn cliarges were made through the streets during the evening. Messrs Ddlon and O'Brien aud the other M. P.'d left at 8 o'clock for Tnuries, followed by police.

A SEA LAWYER IN NEWPORT I DOCK. At Newport Town Hall, to-day, Frank Brown, and J«mes Archer, three A.,b' willi charged with wiltuily disobey- ing the lawful commands of John Hay, master of the British ship Viscount. The prisoners were shipped at Hamburg on board the ship, which is L verpool owned, for a month's run to Newporr, but'when they got to sea, at the nst'giiuon of Archer, an elderly American, they refused to do more than was necessary to sail the ship. Brown relented after three days' idleness, but the Yankee and Ktir wouid not for the whole vcyage waqh decks to kepp the wood moist, or paint wood- woi k. The captain called each man astern, and read the clauses of the Act to thom, but Archer, the American, said he knew more than the cap- tain did, and declined to work. Archer was the rir)gloa(ior of the lot.—'Tne Mayor He is a sea l:n»y^r, I can see that.-The Bench fiued Brown 10 6 or 14 days' hard labour, and the American auu K ur 21 < each, or 28 days' imprisonment.

"WHAT A SPLENDID LIAP. I" I The funniest story yet told by Stanley, and which comes in quito Apropos just now, is that one day while conversing with a friendly triba during his recant travels otie of the chiefs present enquired how many wives be possessed. Upon Stanley innocently replying that he had none, all those present stood up like one man, and unanimously exclaimed, "What a splendid liar I" They inteuseiy admired the apparent calmness with which he had, as they thought, tried to pass off on them a wondrous traveller's tale.

The Cardiff Constables' and Their Fines. A GRIEVANCE STILL RANKLING. A meeting of the Finance Committee cf the Cardiff County Council was held to-day, under the presidency cf tho Mayor (Alderman Wiliiaui Sanders.) Amongst accounts sent in for payment w,. one from tho Watch Committee for L15, the amount of the fines imposed on the three police-constables (> £ 5 each) in the case of illegally entering a house 111 Mary Ann-street. -CounciJlor Beavan remarked that before the account was met he wished to say something on the matter. They had, of course, no power c-f dealing; with the magisterial side of the question, but the fines having been iii-a-eted he rather thought that it was a matter of private contribution than one to put upon the rates.- Councillor Carr asked if it was competent for them to raise the queetion at that meeting. There was a question of principle underlying the matter.—The Mayor There are two or three.— Councillor Carr replied that there were questions of fact and questions of principle. Wouid not the Council be the proper place to bring it up ?— The layor said they must either pay the account or reject it.-Couocilior Carr The payment is merely a ministerial acS; we can raise the. whole question elsewhere. The Mayor said the account had oome to them from the Watch Committee, and if it was paid, and the matter afterwards arose before the Council, it would not be en the proceedings of the Watcir Committee, but on the Finance Commit- tee's report. -Councillor Carr suggested that the account should be paased on the understanding that any member should be at liberty to bring the matter up at the next council meeting. They had only to give effect to the action of the Watch Committee, who had ecided that the fines should be paid out of the rates; and it would be the resolution of the Watch Committee that would be challenged.— Councillor Beavan remarked ttiar, there was the feature about the case that the Watch Committee need not report on the matter to the Council.— The Mayor said he took a rather different view of the matter. Assuming that that was the Watch Committee, the case was one in which their servants had acted and without any doubt tbey were responsible for the acts of their servants. The men might have made a mistake—they might have acted rightly or indiscreetly—but the responsibility was tho committee's; and in such cases the law looked to the employers, as the men were under their control. Therefore, as to paying the L15, there did not sestn to be any quesrinn as to their liability. Whether they, as a W,,tclj Committee having control of tho police, should visit those cfiioers with pains aud penalties of discharge or anything "!se was another matter and as merely the F-uance Committee it did not belong to them.—Councillor Carr remarked that the Mayor's law was net quite sound. Sup- posing the constables in the execution of their duty had not merely brokeu open tho door, but broken some body's head, surely the Corporation would not be responsible.—The Mayor (continu- ing) said that the proper course of tlw Watch Committee, had they ccusidesed tlie men wrong, would have been to "cQUle down upon them but his idea was that the committee seemed to agree that the constables had been wronged. That was his (tin Mayor's) opinion, and, without intending any disrespect to the Stipendiary, the resolution submitted to the Watch Committee— which was culy negatived by tho castiug vote ot the Chai..man practical iy declared that the Stipendiary acted as hastily as the policemen had donf, and made as great a mistake as the con- stabies. made in refusing to hear the lecal point raised by trie solicitor for the police. Councillor Baavau said be had not raised the question with a vi-iv to casting any reflection uporn the police, but for the purpose of having the matter raised at the next meeting of the Council, 80 that. it might be properly thrashed out there.—The Mayor said there was a very strollg feeling that the Watch Committee had not served their men property but the police had decided to appeal, and ho therefore thought that the matter would in duo course have to go back to the Watch Com- mittee. lIe was not present at the meeting when the resolution was dealt with; but ho had a very serious doubt as to whether tiie chairman's cast- ing vote would becide the matter if it \pre again considered.—Councillor Beavan ratnaikeif that the matter was in P. voty unsatisfactory state in the public mind. S?me expressions r?8 cted upon the S'.ip"adary, some on the p')¡ic, eome fm the Watch Committee, and it was only right that the whole thing should be cleared u- Mr Beavan undertook to ratse the whole question at the next meeting of the Council, and the account in respect of the fines was passed.

THE NEWPORT CABMAN'S TEMPTATION. At, Newport Town-ba,i Chas. Bullock, cab proprietor, was charged on remind with stealing a purse containing a E5 note, £ 5 in gold, a 41 piece, aud a shipping order for ttit3 payment ,-)f LIO, the property of John Dishou. The prosecutor was chief officer of the tU. I Athens, and on being paid off on Saturday engaged prisoner to drive him from the steamer's side to the railway station. Prosecutor left the purse on the seat ot the cab. Prisoner j took it home, and showed it to his wife, but the j wife, in au interview with her husband after he was in custody, and in the presence of Inspector Winmiil, told him, You know I persuaded you to take it b'irk to the owner. You know what I have suffered, and I have told you many I' times to bo careful." Tho mate told the police of his loss, and then went in search of the cabman, whom 1,0 found at tbo railway station, having driven up another fare meanwhile. H al(1 IKS was sorry about the loss, but knew nothing of no purse. AHe: wards Inspector Winmiil found the purse intact in the nosebag beneath the b"x seat, amongst the horse-feed. Prisoner said, UiI, what kind friend has dene this for me, and put this in my b-<g. Somebody has done it to do me an ini1.1.ry.Prosocatur, in repiy to Mr Lyndon Moore, for tho defence, said ho did not wish to press for punishment, nod it appeared that prisoner had a 30 years' good character. The B:iieh were implored to give the prisoner a chance, and to look hgh-ly on a sudden temptation. — Prisoner said he took the purse, but not with the intention of stealing it and it was stated on his behalf that he had returned articles left in the cab on other occasions. Had be returned this purse, as the Head Constable explained, he would have bemi entitled to a rewar d of a sovereign.—The Bench decided to iine prisoner L5, )r ,,iie mo.impr.4,)ntnent.

THE LASS THAT LOVED A j SAILOR. At Newport Town-hall to-day Mary Lancaster, in a plush jacket and a fashionable hat, used up a white handkerchief in drying her tears whilst evidence was heard against her of a charge of per- /1 suading one Alfred Gavey to refuse to proceed to j sea. The defendant prevented Gavey from going in the Dragoman, in which he had "hipped on the 1 2nd inst., and again, when he went down to the P.erhead, on the 9 h, to join the Kishna, she caught him by the coat and pulibd hun back. Officer Merry cautioned her, and loosened her hold, but she said she did not mind the pains aud penaittes and so forth. Mr Dunn, the EHiot Hooie custodian, went to look for Givey in tho interval between the 2nd and the 9,b, and found him at the lady's resi- dence, in Gloucester-street, Maimieo, whereupon the Bench grew curious as to what sort of a house it nnght be. Between her tears, the defendant said Givey had been writing letters, sweet letters, to ber, and had been keeping company with her. She was not aware that she had violated the 257th section of the Merchant Shipping Act, and had incurred a penalty of £10, but if she had, she was sorry. It was the rum she took.—The Bench said she must piy 4-01 or undergo one month's imprisonment; and she steppad off the defen- dants' stand to consult her friend in court about I getting the wherewith.

"LANGUAGE" IN NEWPORT STREETS. At Newport Town-hall to-day Cornelius Barry a powouui y,.ung fellow, one of the den>zens of I Cross-street, was summoned fcr being drunk and disorderly in Cross-street on Whit-Mond#y. Defendant was abusing his sister, who waR with a man, in such a dieadful way that Officer Willcox dii not like to repeat it The Mayor said great complaints were beiiig infade of the prevalence of bad language in the streets, and he hoped eVAry effort would be marla to put down the evil.—Deiendant bad been before the Court ten times, and proved that he was rougli customer by-the tone in which ho (HIked questions.—Fined 21s, or 28 days' imprisonment.—Defendant, in repiy to the interrogation from the inspector, said surlily that he was going to serve out the sentence. It was not the first time, he boasted, that he bad done 23 I day?, and he could do another iot.

Whitsuntide a Swindle. WE GO A GIPSYING. S'lrah Maria declared on Saturday that we would have a, thorough good holiday on Whit Monday. We had it; for, as all too authorities agree, a change of work is recreation, and we had a thorough change of work—and plenty of it. I didn't much faucy the "thorough good holiday myself, but when Sarah Maria msikes fip her mind, the wise man caves in. I'm wise after nineteen years' experience one gathers a little wisdom learns to submit to the inevitable without. demonstration of unwillingness. All through Sunday, the possi- bilities of Monday were a haunting dread I I'm not a shy man, nor am 1 proud but the ide» of venturing upon an outing with nine children and provisions to match, a perambulator, a dog, aud Sarah Maria in charge was terrible. Monday morning came. It's only at the tima of writing 24 hours ago yet I seem to have lived a month since then. Sarah Maria devoted the greater part of Suuday to cookiug, for, like John Gilpin's s pousi', Though on pleasure she was bent She had a f-ugdl mind. There were pies aud cakes and a heterogeneous mass of comestibles, which gave the notion that a Sunday-school treat was being arranged for. 1 ventured an expression of doubt whether all that would be required for jttst ourselves. All that, snapped Sarah M.—she was just completing the personal adornmant of Johnny, our fifth boy, and was a tr fl] heated—" All that; aye, and more, too. You yourself will be the first to want something else." Sarah is not logical at any time. Her method of argument defies all rules, sometimes all reason, so I did not care to point out that one might seek substitutionary viands, and yet that very fact proved there was too much of the original pro. vision. As I said, Monday morning came. We all rose at six, for Sarah Maria was determined to be out by ten." Unless we get .,tf soon, we'd batter stop till after dinner," she said. I favoured after-diuner, but an expression of that preference only provoKed confirmation of the decision to start early. Barring a fall aawustairs by the youngest but one, a fight between the two older boys, and the fact that Sarah Maria, junior (agod five), cut her hand during breakfast, we got ou very well. We were a little after ten in starting, for the perambulator had to be loaded, and the family stevedore found a little difficulty in compressing 10 cubic feet of goods and baby into 8 cubic feet of space. A line or two about that perambulator might not be out of place. It was boughr, jike a cargo vessel, for its carrying capacity. Not to mention the twins, its original legitimate occupants (tha family j >ke then was that it was our "carriage and palr"),it has served as travelling trunk, cradle, lunch basket, and waterproof and uin'ureila store, in all parti of the kingdom, at holiday times. Consequently, in appearance it has suffered; aud all there were two 61ll. loaves, a meat pie, three quart bottles of ruiik, aapint kettle and lamp, tea, sugar, butter, cheese, and Sarah only knew what else, to be packed into it on Monday, its condition may be imagined. Of course, the waterproofs and umbrellas had to gù, "in case of wet;" and it wus understood that Toddies was also to ride in that four-wheeler. Ultimately we set out. In order to make room for Toddles in the perambulator, John Wilharn and Lucy Jane had each to carry parcels of provisions. Our destina- tion was Llandaff fields j aud we started from Roath about 11,30. In Newport-road we met Sniithers. He's a fellow who thinks himself jocular, but whose jokes' usually need explaining.

A htile further 0:1, all of a sudden, Sar.th Maria dashed at the perambu- lator, shook up Toddles, snatched the rug ov?r as much of the eatables as it would cover, in a hoarse stage whisper ordered John William and Lucy tiaue to II Cross the read and when I queried, up now," deigned only to repiy, Sawnej never could see anything." Almost in the same breath sh e was talking in the sweetest of tones to Mrs Da Jones Biker, au individual I hold in supreme contempt, but at whom Sarah Maria dresses, and whom she imitates in" her household arrangements, attaching considerable importance to her opmsuu. "Taking your little family for au airing, Mrs said this personage but I was not going to ba delayed by women's tattle, so pushed ahead with tho perambulator, smiling to mjseif that Sarah ISIaria too had been dropped nil. Puew, what an explosion I When she caught up to me, it was an avalanche of conn.-mnatioa. No mora manners than a pig." A oerftct bear to go off like that," and sd en, and to on. She would never have stopped, but that in cross- ing the end of North-road Dicky (aged 9) was knocked down by a. tricycle, aud it took some time to wip" the dust and blood from his face, and to put his clothes at all in order. On Canton Budge a dapper little fellow stepped up, with "Y es, sir; straightforward; large build- iug ou the right, opposite Neville-street; accommodation. In case of incivility or negiect, apply to Guardians on Saturday and an impudent tram conductor yelled, "This way to tho Workhouse; only a penny." This made me riled but going down Cathedral-read wo were more insulted by some of the roystercrs going to the Hibernian íê e. Be the holy pnvers, here's a procession," "Mother o' JVXoses, what a school," and such like vu!gar remarks. It was a relief to get beyond Talbot-street, and out of the way' of tha ê e votaries. Lventuaily, we reached the field; unloaded the perambulator at the gate, lifted it over, reloaded, and pushed ahead across the ground. \Ve had decenlliued to camp out just under the dip ou the western side, over against He well's Sjhooi. 16 was cue o'clock, and as soon as the camping ground was reached we brought out the kettle and the spirit lamp, and spread the cloth, the children bustling around like bees. Then we discovered that the bmp had been upside down, and that the spirit had saturated our sugar, as well as spoiled two of ttio umbrellas and a water- proof cloak. S.icks were gathered to boil the kettle in place of the lamp, and John William was sent off to buy sugar. Sarah carved tho pie, and we were just settling down to feed, when you know you're trespassiug ? All this is mowing grass, and you're spoihug it. If I let one lot stay here, I must let others and there'll be hundreds of tiiam across the fields to-day. Everything would be dona for. You must get' away from here." And we had to get away. All my argument, even entreaty, and Sarah Maria's scornful refer- ences to his "dirty old grass," failed to move that intruder ou our family parly, and we bad to go —into the jane I Never shall I forget that lane. Everybody in Cardiff came along whilst we sat there at our mid- day meal. John Wiliiam came back, but instead of sugar he had brought rice. Sarah Maria scalded him, and in decisive determination to "drink the tea as't if, without any sugar at all," she scalded her mouth and ruined her temper. But her tongue kept wagging. Every man I kuow in C<rd ff passed us in tList lane, with wife or sweetheart, Sarah il. was, most of the time, carving pie or a ölb. loaf—nine children eat & lc-t, and a great amount of cutting is inevitable; and wa had the grub t pread about 111 that heme as if It was being shown for sale. In fact, not a few of the witlings perpetrated what they considered supreme j kes by asking for pen'orths. But all things coma to an end some time; and the feeding was over eventually. I got my pipe out; the kids went out to play i Sarah Maria began to k¡îlt-which is ber mode vf enjoying herself; and I thought; we might have it quiet. We had turned intr, the next field, and had not been turned out again. In less than half an hour, however, one of the boys had ripped his coat half off ru cinnbing a barb-wira fence; anotherliad fallen into the sludge of the mill stream; two had scratched themselves with hawthorn, and the youngest bad stung her hand with nettles, and kept up acoutiuual wail. I had to get up and tramp atoutid in the sun, ao amateur shep- herd in charge of mountain sheep, but without a dog to help him. Round and round in the heat I tramped—somebody said it was 90 degrees in the shade that day I know it was 190 degrees in the sun, good meaRure-tetchin one child from the mill stream, another from the tree he was climb. ing, a third from harrying the cows, a fourth from wandering away to the Cathedral and eo on—over and over again, that long, hot afternoon. All my care did not prevent George climbing a tree and falling down, hurting bis leg so that he could only limp along but his fall was tha signal for ending nay labours, for Sarah Maria calied in ber flack, then served out a second instalment of rations, and gave the word for home. The perambulator would have been lighter by reasoa of the lessened quantity of food, I but George eoon give up walking, and had to be put therein with Toddles. I So we came through town, in pro-! cessicnal order. In Cathedral-road, Evelina Mary {a £ e'i 5) got astray somehow, and we ¡ could rir.t find her in the crowd coming from the 1 -6 e, fur two mortal hours we searched every- I where—Vound and round the 16 e fields among the shows, &?., paying 6 1 a head for each one of i Us that went in rushing all about the town to the police-stations in Westgace-street and at Canton; and finally deciding to take home the rest of the children, and then resume the searoh.

Eleven p.m. children abed, myself between thA sheets for tha hundredth time I herri, You leave everythin to me unless I do every- thing-look after the food and the children, tell you where to go, find the money, and arrange n, little holiday, we never Ree any change.

Cardiff and s the Assizes. I STRANGE DISCLOSURES. I Who Pays for the Judges' I Lodgings ? A meeting of the Cardiff Finance Committee wa, to-d-v, the May >r presiding, when the Town Clerk (Mr Whaatley) read some correspon- dence which had passed between himself and the Town Uierk of Swansea on the sub- ject of the amounts received from the I, High Sherill of the county in respect of judges' accommodation during the assizes. Atter j giving various figures, Mr Wheatley explained, that the Swansea Corporation had received a large sum on account of arrears from the executors of the late Mr Martin Scale, who for many years held tha office of U,i,ier-Sli,r ff. It should be borne in mind that Swansea had had two assizes each year, while Cardiff had only one and, therefore, Swansea wouid require for providing judges' lodgiugs double the amouut paid to Cardiff, whicfafwns £ 50. It appeared, however, that the H'h Sher If had been in the habit of receiving a grant from the G veraineut in respect I. of the charge for the accommodation in each town. The Under-Sher ff, as tha agent of the High Sheriff, received the grant, but be (Mr Wheatley) had not been able to ascertain the amount. He had been in communication with the executors of the late Mr Scale, but they had I practically rleclined to furnish the information. Tue Cardiff Corporation were certainiy under the impression that the L50 which was paid aftet- erch assiz s came out ot the pocket of the High Sheriff, aud that no payment WHR made by the Government. What they wanted to know was the-irnoutit paid by Government, on account of judges' iodging provided by the Corporation, and the only ir. I" lie c'luld suggest was that of i writing to the Treasury, Mr Carr having asked several questions, the Mayor replied that if auything was reported he should like the facts to be stated. If, however, he had known that the matter was to have been brought forward, they should have had it prepared and presented in a different way, as he was a little anxious .tbi)ut it. He had asked the Town Clerk as to j tlie number of assizes held at Cardiff, as he ba! eved that by stating that theie had only been one assiu each year, tha case was b.i!1g spoiled, his own opinion beiug that there hid in more than one year been two ass.Z's in Cardiff. He had also asked that certain correspondence should be looked up, which Mr Greenhill (Borough Treasurer) had had with somebody, and which created the idea that the money received by the Corporation came out of the pocket of the H'gh Sheriff. Ho recalled a time when the whole matter was severely criticised, and it was then said that JE50 was enough for the Siieriff to have to pay,lt Greenhill remarked that they did not get. £ 50 when tha assizes were first held in Cardiff.—Councillor Carr Ouc case is simply that a certain graut has been mnde by the Treasury to the High Sher.ff III respect of I providing judges' accommodation, Tho Mayor replied that that was so. For several years, the High Sheriff had had given to him a certain sum of money to pay for I the judges' ledgiugs, and that had not beeu paid in its entirety to the Cardiff Corporation. That was what lie was anxi' tis about. The fact was that during a railway iourney a certain gentle- man let out the fact that einca the p:esent ) Under-Sheriff had been appointed certain sums had been sent t" Swansea for the judges' lodgings. The Swansea people were rather startled by receiving it, and then they were: aroused to the fact that money had been given from time to sime by the Treasury for the purposa; and fchev P1' in a ciaim for arrtars, and had received 91,300 out of the estate ot Matt n Scale. The question tllpiil arose whether, Cardiff havinp only received £ 50 per assizes, they were entitled to more. Tuey n.r i been content up to the present to receive £ 50," believing that the High Sheriff was payiug t!;er money himself. —Councillor Beavan asked whonaid Cardiff tin £ 50 in Martin Scale's tlln ?—TheTown Cierk replied that it came through tho Jujr-Sbérfi CUr Scaie).Alr Greenhill, in answer to a question, stated that, in one year, when thUA wore two a,c zs ;,t C ,.d:!f, they received »nd only -612 lr], for the second.—The Mnyor: Or course, I knew we hId had twoasslz-s iii y Brain remark nl that the ouly way to find out what had been p rid to the SherdI was by writing to the Treasury.—The Mayr r j suggested that the enquiry should not tie limited to the last five or ten years,but should go back as far as possible.—The Town Clerk • xpiained that in the event of any proceeding: their remedy Would tie acjaiust the H'gh She- ff for the period, as the Under-Sheriff was only agent.—Tho Is it your w.s/i that tiie Town Clerk should pursue this matter to the end ?—All: Aye.riltJ t!Uf"ct then dropped.

NEWPORT LADS ON THE DOWN I G HAD E.
