I WEEKLY COMMENTS.
WEEKLY COMMENTS. WHERE the tiimed plates are made is the heading given to a most interesting article- on Llanelly which appears in the ¡ "Methodist Times" this week, from the pen of the Bev. W. J. Britton, the respected Superintendent of the Amal- gamated Circuit of the Wesleyan Metlio- dists of Llanelly and Carmarthen. After supplying his readers with un- ) deniable proofs of the dense Ignorance of Enghslnnen generally with regard to the geographical position of LI a nelly, the- writer proceeds to give a glowing de- scription of the town and its trade. Then follows a historical sketch, the greater part of which is naturally taken up with an account of the numerous visits paid to Llanelly by the lie v. John Wesley, the originator and founder of the Wesleyan. connexion. Mr. Britton afterwards proceeds to give pen paintings of the various chapels and ch urches with which Llanelly is studded, not forgetting the membership and the accommoda- tion afforded by the same for public worship, which, according to the Rev. W. J. Britton, is ample for the whole of the population. After this a father gloomy description Is given of the syna- gogues of Satan (240 in number), which, according to the writer's statistics, "can I find, accommodation for most of the people." So tl)e people of Llanelly, from the writers point of view, give- (xod and the devil equal advantages. He has, however, forgotten to state, one, fact in connection with this, He might have stated, for the information of the readers of the "Methodist Times," that the Llanelly Brewery was built by one of his predecessors, namely, the Bev. James Buckley, whose descendants have occu- pied prominent positions in connection with the trade from that time down to the present.

THAT which seems to tickle Mr Britton 's curiosity is that all the people of the town profess to belong to some chapel or church, and that the people dearly love to worship in the Welsh tongue (English tongue, but Welsh language, please, Mr. Britton), though all are anxious to be educated in English." Is there anything unnatural in this? Does not an Englishman also dearly love to worship in his mother tongue," or does he crave for the opportunity to worship in some foreign language? Is there anything "more strange and unnatural in a Welshman who is anxious to learn English, than there is in an Englishman who is anxious to be educated in French or German? We think not, and if Mr. Britton lived in. France, would he be inclined to ridicule the French if they ap- peared anxious to be educated in English, although they might dearly love to wor- ship in their native tongue? A little j further 011, Mr. Britton states that "many worship in Welsh who can neither read nor write their mother tongue, which," he thinks, will make some smile with, incredulity; but it is a fact." Has Mr Britton never in his life, during his peregrinations up and down this Island of ours, never come across Eng- lishmen who love to worship in English, although they-cannot read nor write nor even speak English properly? We can go a step further, and say that if those monoglot Englishmen were not allowed to worship in English, they would, not be able to worship in any other tongue or language, and yet the knowledge of this would not provoke a Welshman "to smile with incredulity although it was a. fact. There is another fact which Mr. Britton is, perhaps, ignorant of, and it is that thousands of Llanelly people, although they attend Welsh places of worship, can read, and write, and ) even speak the English tongue- as cor- rectly as lie himself or any of the mono- glot members of his flook. Then why sneer at Wrelshmen simply because they t dearly love to worship in their own native language ? .Does not Mr. Britton himself love to Worship in his mother tongue? We would, really be surprised to learn that he does not.

I "OWER down, in the article Mr. Britton states that one never hears of such things as revivals deconversions in con- nection with any of the numerous churches. The children, are made mem- j bers as they grow up. Yet drunken- ness, immorality, and crime, now and j again break out in the most startling manner—indeed, drunkenness is always t with us." After such a sweeping accu- sation against the town as this, made by a reverend gentleman who has lived amongst us for the last three years, one is inclined to ask if lie,, like Diogenes 01 old, has"been living all the time under a tub. He ought to know that nil the denominations of the town, with the exception of the Baptists, christen their children in their infancy, as the Wes- leyan Mothcwlists do. The Baptists re- ceive no one into communion except on their profession of faith in the Trinity and the ordinance of baptism by immer- sion has been administered to them; and does Mr. Hritton wish to insinuate that drunkenness, immorality, and crime break" out spasmodically, as it were, asX| a natural sequence? Which of the de- j noininations in Llanelly mala- the child- ren.members as they grow up? If there, is one, evidently that is the denomina- tion which is accountable for the fits of drunkenness, and immorality, and crime which occasionally break out amongst us. We adrait that Llanelly is not, most the pity, more Hum any other in- dustrial town of its size, perfectly free from drunkenness, immorality, and crime, but we have yet to learn that it so much more steeped in these sins than other similar towns, that it be- comes necessary for Mr. Britton, who has lived amongst us for three years only, to make such sweeping accusations against us. Anyone who is not acquain- ted with the moral life of Llanelly would, after reading Mr. Britton's de- scription of it in the "Methodist Times," naturally conclude that all the people of Llanelly are religious hypocrites. Ac- cording to Mr. Britton, we all profess to belong to some chapel or church, but that in reality we are all drunkards; that, although we love to worship in the Welsh language, we are, nevertheless, steeped in immorality and crime and in order to put a crown on our religious hypocrisy, we have a knack of driving our young men and women into mem- bership in our churches as a shepherd would drive the sheep into the fold. If ( I we are such drunkards, an d so steeped in immorality and crime, it would be interesting to know what he has done, since his advent to the town, to obliterate these sins of ours, and to uplift the moral tone of the population.

THE Border Children are still running about the roads in the Furnace District, and the County Authority have not, up to the present, taken any steps to en- force their attendance at any school, although, so they state, they have ample accommodation for them. Are the stal- warts of the County Education Authority realh afraid of the results if they insti- tutollegal proceedings against the u t l ic, parents, or are they playing the game of wait, believing that by their inactivity they will ultimately subdue the parents? We find by the programme of the Liberal Council, who are to-day holding a Joint Counties Convention at Sion Chapel, Llanelly, that Mr. H. Jones-Davies, of Glyneiddan, Nantgaredig, is to second the following resolution, viz. "That this meeting, representing the Progressive citizenship of Carmar- thenshire and West Grl am organ shi re, declares its unhesitating conviction that the State Establishment of the Anglican Church in Wales is indefen- sible, inexpedient, and unjust; it therefore demands, in the interests of political righteousness and of religious efficiency, that this anomaly should cease.

-+- It would be interesting to know from Mr. Davies the grounds upon which he professes to be a Progressive Liberal, and how he is able to reconcile his atti- tude towards the Church of England, as set forth in the above proposition, and his attitude towards the children of Non- conformists in the Furnace District of Llanelly. With regard to the latter, he, in company with several other so-called Liberals, voted .for driving the children to the Church School at Felinfoel, and before Mr. Davies leaves the platform at Sion Chapel he ought to be asked to explain his attitude towards these child- ren.

Elopement Sensation. I o-I
Elopement Sensation. I o- -THE PUBLIC CURIOSITY. The story of the recent elopement which created quite a sensation in The town, was unfolded at the Town Hall on Wednesday, when. George Roberts and Mary Louisa Mor- gan, the parties who were alleged to have eloped, were brought forward on a charge of larceny. The police had evidently anticipated there would be a largue influx of the general public into the hall, and admission was only granted to those who attended the ordinary business of the court. Mrs Morgan, who had been ill during the last week, was conveyed to ¡ Llanelly on Saturday evening. I The prosecuting advocate said there were three charges preferred against Mrs. Morgan and George Roberts, for stealing a sewing- machine, a case of spoons, and £27 7s. 4d. in I' money, the property of Mr. Collwyn Morgan. Ho did not wish to go very minutely into the ease, because the circumstances were very un- savoury. Mr. Collwyn Morgan was a surveyor and married the. defendant in 1894, of which marriage there were seven children On the. 27th March—the Saturday Mr. Morgan left for London—Roberts, who was a married man, with three children and a deserted wife, wa' seen with Mrs. Morgans, at Astoria, taking ad- vantage, no doubt, of Mr. Morgan's abs-c?iiec?' On the Saturday night Roberts slept there, and he was sorry to say that the eldest daugh- ter, who was 14 years of age, saw Roberts in bed with Mrs. Morgan, and they had actually one of the little children in bed with them. On Sunday Roberts remained in the house. and he was seen to be busily packing up various goods, and addressing the labels in rhe name of "Russell," which was the name they used after they had eloped. On the Monday they were still there, and on the Tuesday they had eloped. Roberts was seen to be assisting to lead the goods from the I house, and Mrs Morgan went off by road, and Roberts left by train. In Swansea Roberts raised the tickets for London, and they re- mained at 1 Star Street. During the time they were in London, witnesses would prove that the parties occupied the same house and the same bed. With regard to the money, when Mr. Morgan left for London, Mrs. Mor- Erar). asked him to pay the bill due to Reed, the butcher They could not find the, bill, and they did not exactly know the amount. Mrs. Morgan asked Mr. Collwyn Morgan whe- ther he could not trust her with a blank cheque, and he had no objection. Instead of I making the cheque out for £ 2 12s. 8d., which was the amount due to Reed, she made out I the cheque for £ 30. She asked Reed to go to the bank to cash it, and then paid him the P,21 12s. 8d., keeping the remaining ?27 7s. 4d. On the same day Mrs. Morgan was seen to hand Roberts a quantity of gold, telling him that it would be safer with him. 'As regards I the spoons, they were purchased from Mr. Griffin, who would bear testimony to that effect He believed that the defence would probably be some vague talk that Mrs. Mor- gan at one time had considerable property, of which her husband 'had divested her. P.S. Britten, cross-examined by Mr. Hayton Williams, said that when Roberts was I brought to Llanelly. Mr. Collwyn Morgan travelled in. the same train. He came into I the same compartment, to which Roberts ob- jected. They had tea. in the train, which was paid for by Mr. Collwyn Morgan. That was the reason why he came into the compart- I ment.. While witness was in London he saw I Mrs. Morgan at her own request. Roberts I was not then arrested, but was under obser- vation. Mr Williams: Are you sure. Morgan was not anxious to see Ati-s- Morgan and the. children ? —The children were very anxious to see him. I Was he very anxious?—I think h" was. Did he tell you why he wanted to see her -No, sir. What did she tell you during the interview? She asked me to bring hint hack for her to kiss 'him before, he left London. I was very cautious what. I was telling her, in con- s-en u^m e of her state of health. II. > w many 'interviews have you had with, the people in Pemhrev Road?—I have inter- viewed the daughter, a man named Russell, and Mrs. Thomas. You did not see Mrs. Poy.v-l! ai all ?—No. I think you went down jo Mr. Hargreaves ? —Yes, T did, with regard to tracing Roberts You did not. ask Mr. Hnrgreaves whether his money was in order? -Yes, T. did. My chief object was with regard trachg the defendant Hargreaves' affairs were- all in order?—Yes. You have not had anything against Roberts with the exception of this charge?-! have had great trouble with him before with regard to anofber lady. Is it not a fact that i!.< polieo e-aic. • • proceedings in cases of theft?- Yes. Mr. Morgan took out the warrant. When Morgan called nt the Police Station you. did not know of the theft?-No. Inspector Jones deposed to arresting Mrs. Morgan in Lonclou. Tn reply to the charge she said, "I have not stolen anything." Wit- ness asked her if she had a sewing-machine with her, and she replied "Yes," and reques- ted the woman who was standing by to fetch it, On their way to Llanelly, Mrs. Morgan said, "As soon as- this ease 'will be over. Roberts and I will go back to London, and live happy together." Mr Collwyn Morgan, Astoria-, Pembrey Rd., stated that the female defendant was-his wife and he produced a marriage ef>r«if!efx<\ which showed that they mnrr-'od 01 Swansea on the 21st 1894. There were seven children of the marring*. Up to 27th March he was living with his wife at Astoria, when he left for London. He returned on the fol- lowing Friday, and found that his wife and six children had left. and the place all of a wreck. He also found that .-many things were missing, amongst which was a sewing- machine. He identified the sewing-machine produced as his property, which he purchased in 1895. He produced the butt end of the cheque drawn in payment of it. Before he left on the 27th March he handed to his wife a blank cheque. Witness had an account in Lloyd's Bank. He handed his wife a blank cheque, which he signed, for the purpose of I paying Reed's bill. He told his wife not to pay any further money until he had returned from London, whieli h hoped to do within a weeK. ne endeavoured to tinct the Dili, and his wife said, "Are you afraid to trust me with a blank cheque," and he replied that he was not. When he returned he found that P,30 had been drawn from the bank. His wife had no right whatever to draw out the money. He produced a case of silver spoons, which was his property. They were purchased from Mr Griffin, about seven or eight years ago. When he left for London the spoons were in the sideboard cupboard. He went up to Lon- don to fetch his children from Star Street. Edgware Road. He saw a box, and the women told him that the children's clothes were in it. The box was sent down to Llanelly, and he took off the label, which he produced, and was addressed. Russell." The hand- writing on the label was not written by his wife. In one of the boxeslle found the case of spoons. Cross-exariiiiied by Mr. Williams: How long have you been a. surveyor?—Since 1882. When did you last make a job as a sur- veyor ?-When I was in London last. Do vou say that you are a surveyor serious- ly ?—Certainly I do. Have you an account in Lloyd's Bank?—Yes. Why don't you pay your debts then? Have you paid Mr. Edmunds ?—That has nothing to do with the ca.se. How long were von courting Mrs. Morgan ? —I do not know You were very fond of her then. Are you fond of her now ?—No ansvver. Who paid for the wedding ring?—I did. Who paid for the honeymoon?—I did. Did your wife give you £ 50?—No. How much property did your wife have when you got married ?—She had some. I About. £6000?- N 0, How many thousands ?—Say 23000. How long were you married before she signed, over the property to you?—I do not! know. I She signed practically everything over to you ?—No, she did not. Did she have an independent solicitor, or your own?—She had her own solicitor to do everything What did you do with all the money and I property? You bought a boose in New Dock Road?—Yes. You bought some property on the other side of the Mynydd Mawr Bridge?—With my own money. It was all your own money now, you know? I made some money myself. What have you been doing to have all this money?—I am not going to tell you. Per- j haps you will go in the same line j What were you at the time of the marriage? Did you not keep a butcher's shop?—These questions should not be put. In ten days, by competing against a North of England firm, I made illo Mr. Wilkins said the case would probably take some time, and it would be better to proceed with the business points. Mr. Williams said he wished to point out that Mr. Collwyn. Morgan had had the money from his wife, and she failed to get anything out of him. When you bought the machine did you not give it to her as a present?—No; I gave it for the purpose of the house, and not to carry away to London. You knew your wife was not happy with you?--There was nothing at all until that fellow had come scouting about there. When you gave your wife a cheque, you knew that- your wife would leave you?—No; nothing whatever. She should not leave her j home to go to a shanty in London. Are you a teetotaller?—'Yes, for the poet six J years. When you found the children's clothes in London, were there any new ones ?—No.' At which are you more annoyed, Mr. Mor- gan, the loss of your wife from a loving hus- band, or the- £30? The Bench thought the question was quite unnecessary. Mr. Morgan said he was asked questions that. he could not describe Further cross-examined, witness denied he had sent- a local minister to intercede on his behalf. Margaret. Zoe Morgan (14b daughter of Mr. Collwyn Morgan, said she saw Roberts pack- ing a trunk in the bedroom. She declined to go away with her mother. Frank Richard Morgan GO" son of the com- plainant, said that after be faiher !eu fur London, Roberts called at his hltlle. and wit- ness saw him packing ifte trunks. He saw j Roberts write "Russell" on the labels pro- duced. He also saw Roberts and the driver of the cart carrying the boxes from the bouse. Witness went with, his mother and. Roberts to London, where they stayed. When in Lon- don, Roberts slept with his mother. Mr. Williams said the charge did not touch, 1 the morals of these people, however bad ihe.v miglit be. The charge was brought, forward by Mr. Collwyn Morgan in a spirit of vindic- tiveness and revenge. and from a point of decency he had to bring it forward. The Bench ultimately eomiuirTe.-i the de- fendants to take their trial :d the Assizes.
