WIFE'S ACCOUNT.
WIFE'S ACCOUNT. Judge and Letter in Llanelly Case. At Llanelly County Court on Monday (before his Honour Judge Lloyd Morgan) Griffith Hopkins, Felinfoel, applied for a declaration that the sum of £ 43 which was in the Post Office Savings' Bank in the name of his wife, Mary Ann Hopkins, should be handed over to him. Mr. T. R. Ludford appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. Lewis Phillips do- fended.. The evidence of the plainfcra was to the effect that he had separated from hi-a wife, and after the separation he had discovered that she had put his money into the savings' hank in her own name. Mr. J. Lewis Phillips asked that th* evidence be taken in private, but to this Mr. Ludford objected. His Hanioiir said he had received a letter about the case from a vicar or some- one like that. It was more in the nature of a testimonial than anything else. Mr. Phillips: Mr. Ludford and myself are wondering if it's a testimonial to us. (Laughterl. His Honour: It is quite a proper letter. That is, it does not attempt to square" me. The defendant, going into the witness- box, declared that the money was the result of her savings during the time she had been charwoman. Cross-examined by Mr. Ludford, defen- dant stated that she had insured her father eleven times and her mother-in-law and child onoe. Judgment was given in favour of plain- tiff. = <
PRESENCE OF PRESS.I
PRESENCE OF PRESS. I Swansea Profiteering Com- mittee's Decision. Aid. W. Owen (chairman) presided on1 Monday evening at the first business meeting of the Swansea Profiteering Com- mittee, held at the Council Chamber. The Clerk (Mr. H. Lang Coath) e-I plained that the meeting was called to consider whether five complaints which had been made disclosed prima facie cases of profiteering, causing the committee to call the persons against whom the com- claints were made before the committer to answer them. The names and facts would ûe mentioned, and it occurred to him that some of them might never mature because of the committee's finding that there was no prima facie case. III that event the persons against whom the complaints were found not to be prima facie, might feel aggrieved (he believed rightly) at their names being mentioned in the Press. If the circumstances were flmd to be prima facie, the persons com plained of would have to appear before the committee and answer Then the whole of the facts would he gone into. and the Press and the public be present, but at the present stage it seemed to him the complaints should be considered without the Press. .1 Ald. A. Sinclair thought the Press should bo present unless they decided otherwise in an individual case. The Chairman emphasised that at this stage they had only to decide whether there were cases for hearing. The Clerk: When the case is heard I think the Press should certainly be present. The Chairman thought it would be as well'in this preliminary stage to ask the ptOflS to retire. The Press representatives thereupon withdrew, the Town Clerk remarking that one of the five complaints did not come under the Act, and was being dealt with in another way. 0

- - - - -PRE-WAR TANK. I
PRE-WAR TANK. I Best Design Shelved. I i Because somebody at the War Office ) pigeon-holed the design for a tank sub- mitted in 1912, the Army had to wait un- til 1916 to get an article which the autho- rities admit was not so good. This revelation was made before the Inventions Commission yesterday, when Corporal De Mole, of the Australian Im- perial Force, claimed air award. In 1912. when engaged in heavy trans- port work in Australia he sent to the j War Office the model of an armoured car. It was rejected. He was urged ot offer it to the Germans, but would not do Ñ), In 1916 he again submitted the idea to the War Office. Counsel for the Crown admitted that; Corporal de Mole's original plan would I have made A BETTER ARTICLE I than that which actually went into' action at the Somme. I The Chairman pointed out that the Commission cculd not recommend an award because the invention had never been used in the actual evolution of the tanks. Corporal de Mole: It should have been j so. My documents were at the War I Office. I The Chairman: Yes, but unfortunately they were pigeon-holed (Laugihter.) Corporal de Mole said that his chief regret was that the tanks were not used in 1914. The Chairman said the Commission did not recommend an award, but the greatest credit was due to the claimant for his suggestions, which it was clear j would have been of extraordinary value, j It was unfortunate for the country that < they were made at a time earlier than j when everybody was looking around fer j something of the kind i

I A HARD CASE. I
I A HARD CASE. I Trimsaran Sub-Tenants and I Their Homes. I At Llanelly County Court on Monday, Evan Jones, Trimsaran, applied for an ejectment order against five parties from London House, Thomas-street. Mr. Martin R. Richards, for plaintiff. said in January last a portion of London House was let at a weekly tenancy on the express condition that he would not sub- let to families or take in women lodge re. This condition was broken, and the house was allowed to get into a filty condition. In the middle of August Mr. Williams left, but did not hand over the keys. The parties now in possession, for whom Mr. Jones was very 60rry, could have no pos- dble defence, because neither of them had been tenants of his. A defendant: We have offered to pay the rent, and it has been refused. It is very hard lines that the families of die- charged soldiers should be treated in this way. His Honour: That is not the point. They want to get possession of the pre- mise6, and this is a case in which I can- not give you any assistance. I agree that it is a very hard case. Mr. Richards: I am prepared, upon Mr. Jones's instructions, to allow these parties to remain in possession until the end of January, provided they pay the mean profits. Moreover he does not apply for costs. His honour made an order accordingly.

Eastman's, High-street, Swan- sea, wet- charged at Swansea on Mon- day with selling meat at a price ex- ceeding the maximum, and Frank Walker, the manager, with aiding atid abetting. Mr Holland Booth, Town Clerk's office, prosecuted on behalf of the Food Com- mittee, and said that a Mrs. Arnold, Bethesda Court, High-etreet, had pur- chased a leg of lamb for which she wae charged 8s. 6d., but the legal price of which was 7s. Id. The defence, conducted by Mr. Thomp- son, was that the leg of lamb weighed lib. Hoz.. when supplied to the woman, who returned next day with the joint. and alleged overcharging. When Mr. Walker weighed the meat he found it of less weight than when it had been taken away on the day before, but in order to oblige the woman took the meat back and refunded the 8s. 6d. The point was that anything might happen to a leg of lamb that had been taken away from the chop and which was only complained about the dw afterwaxde. Evidence was gi<en by Walker and the assistant Thomas as to the correct weight of the meat when sold being 4lb. 14o* which would come to lk-. rid.

- - - -PREMIUM BONDS.
PREMIUM BONDS. Question of Continental Lotteries. }1r. H. Bottomley (Ind.) asked the Leader of the House whether, pending the decision of the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer on the issue of premium or prise bonds, the Government would exercise the power conferred upon them by the De fenoe of the Kealm Act and prohibit the forwarding through the post office of any subscriptions to any Continental lottery, prize fund or sweepstake competition. Mr. B. Law: Apart from other con- siderations, I do not think it would be practicable to adopt my hon. friend's sug- seetion. Mr. Hogge: Can the Leader of the House say whether, before the Chancellor of the Exchequer gives his decision, there will be any reference back to the old Com- ? mittee which reported on premium bonds. or will it be a decision ad hoc. I QUESTION FOR NEW COMMITTEE. I Mr. B. Law: The Chancellor of the Ex. eliequerJ6 suggestion—and I think it is the only possible way-is that as this is a new i Parliament the question should be recon- sidered by another Committee. Mr. Bottomley: Why is it not practic- t able for the Poet Office to make the pro- hibition asked for? Mr. B. Law: The Chancellor of the Ex- chequer has power to stop the issue of '1 postal orders, but how in the world, un- lees all letters are opened and all money H stopped, can the Post Office prevent money being sent to agents of all kinds? v Mr. P. Billing: Is it not a fact that large sums of money are going to the French Lottery Ioan through the medium of our banks, and is it not better that s this money should be preserved for our lottery bonds? HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. I I & Mr. B. Law: There are other considera- tions, and I think we have to be careful before we take steps to prevent money go- ing to the French Government. Sir W. H. Davison (C.U.): Is it not the fact that only this morning members have received letters from Denmark respecting a State lottery in that country with an English prospectus, and will the Govern- ment expedite the decision of the Com- mittee on this matter as much as possible before the English people subscribe? Mr. Bonar Law: I recognise there ought to be no delay in coming to a deci- sion. I will discuss it again with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but I think the House would like to have the advice of a committee of its own members. (Cries of No.") Sir M. Dockrell (C.U.): Has the prin- ciple been approved? If it is approved of by the Government it would have the de- sired effect. Mr. Bonar Law: It is impossible to separate detail from principle in a coal- of this kind.

EX-SOLDIERS' STALLS.
EX-SOLDIERS' STALLS. Extension of Open-Air Sale I Next Saturday. The Swansea branch of the N.F.D. and D.S and S. are about to embark on an ambitious programme in connection with their open-air markets. Mr. W F. Francis, the local secretary, says that next Saturday it "is expected to have. amongst other centres, stalls at Gwydr-srinare, Uplands, Brynhyfryd, Cwmbwrla, St Tlioma^, and Mount Pleasant. An announcement on this point will be made later on in the week. Another change that is expected is that the stalls will be in the charge of paid ex-soldiers and eailors and widows, tho idea of this being to provide employment for the men, and to give the widows an opportunity of augmenting their pensions. The Federation later on are endeavour- ing to keep the stalls going in days n week from Tuesday onwards, and so pro- vide regular employment for a number of men. BRUSSELS SPROUTS AT 4d. I lIDIV are the prices on your stalls h asked a Leader" reporter, whereupon Mr. Francis replied, W We are hitting the profiteer. Last Saturday we sold Brussels sprouts at 4d. per lb., when they could 'not be obtained under 7d. elsewhere. It is to be hoped the public will recognise that and patronise the ex-Service men's stalls, where all kinds of fruit and vege tables will be on sale." Mr. Francis afterwards added that, a5 soon as circumstances would allow, quan- tities of fish would be sold on the stall?.
