BARRY POLICE COURT. FRIDAY. Before Major-General H.fjH, Lee and Mr J. W. Pyman. LOITERER WARNED. Alexander Peterson, for loitering about the Barry Railway Company's premises, was cautioned and dismissed. DILAPIDATED HOUSES. Mr T. B. Tordoff, olerk and solicitor, appeared on behalf of the Barry District Council, who applied for an order against Mr Philip E. Hill, estate agent, Cardiff, to pull down or otherwise secure two houses in Weston-street and one in Forster-street, Cadoxton, which were in such a condition of dilapidation as to be a source of danger to the public,—Mr J. C. Pardoe, surveyor to the Council, said the houses in question were amongst those taken down in connection with the making of Gladstone-road, and were now in a dangerous state.—The Bench ordered the defendant, who did not appear, to put the property in proper repair forthwith. NO LIGHTS. A fine of 2s 6d was imposed upon James Jones for driving without lights after sunset. WARRANT. A warrant was ordered to be issued for the WARRANT. A warrant was ordered to be issued for the appearance of Walter Powell for allowing a horse to stray on the highway. DISORDERLY CONDUCT. ^Benjamin and Kesiah Cridge were fined 2s 6d each, and Henry Keenor 5s, for being guilty of disorderly conduct; and a warrant was ordered to be issued for the appearance of William James. NEIGHBOURS QUARREL. Ada Smith, of Lombard-street, Barry Docks, was charged with assaulting Bessie Mabey, a neigh- bour.-Complainant said on the 1st instant she was going out to do some shopping. When passing defendant's house, the latter struck her a violent blow in the face.—This was corroborated by a witness, but denied by the defendant, who said the complainant tucked up her sleeves and said, Now for it; you or me.General Lee to defend- ant You are bound over in £5 to keep the peace for six months.—Defendant I wish her bound over to me.—General Lee We'll bind you over first. PREFERRED LAW MADE IN GERMANY. A German, named James Horn, a barber, of Holton-road, Barry Docks, was charged by P.C. Shillum with disorderly conduct on Whit-Monday at Barry Island. The constable stated thatdefendant, who was under the influence of drink, insulted several young ladies, and when remonstrated with he commenced to shout, and said the law was strict enough in Germany, but it was more strict in this country but of the two, he added, Give me Germany. William Findlay said the defendant accosted five young ladies, and he (witness) spoke to the policeman.—Defendant I give him the lie direct. I knew the young ladies, but rather than bring them to court I will pay the fine.. I am too chivalrous to insult a lady, and was not under the influence of drink.—General Lee said the Bench were inclined to take a lenient view of the matter, inasmuch as the defendant was a foreigner. It was evident he had done something to annoy others or he would not have been spoken to. He advised him to be more cautious, and not make such a fool of himself in future. He would be cautioned and discharged. ALLEGED THEFT OF A DOOR. The case against Phillip Griffiths, haulier, Cadoxton, charged with stealing a door, the pro- perty of Mr Philip E. Hill, was adjourned till Monday. THIRSTY SAILORS. John Collins and John McGrove, seamen, were fined 10s each for falsely representing themselves to be bona fide travellers, and endeavouring to obtain intoxicating liquors at Culley's Hotel on the previous Sunday. P.S. R. H. Thomas proved the case. AN INSULT TO BE SENT TO PRISON. Fanny Duncan, who pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly on the 10th instant, made a strong plea for another chance, and said she would give up the drink. — General Lee You have had enough chances you will be sent to prison for fourteen days with hard labour.—Fanny What for ? That is an insult. (Laughter.) INCORRIGIBLES. Three well-known characters Harriet Hewitt, Gwendoline Jones, and Ellen Rogers-were brought up under warrants for being drunk and disorderly, and inasmuch as they had a number of previous convictions against them they were each fined 15s. OTHER DRUNKS. The other defendants charged with being drunk and disorderly were Patrick Smith, Charles Gilpin, and Sidney Parfit, who were each fined 7s. 6d; and Frederick Roberts, Michael Murphy, Otto Nelson, Cornelius O'Brien, Daniel Leary, Thomas Ryan, and Albert S. Gibbs were mulct in 5s apiece.

MONDAY. Before Colonel Thornley and Mr J. Lowdon. ALLEGED TRESPASS. In the case in which Frederick Seymour and John White were charged with trespassing on the property of the Barry Railway Company in a manner calculated to endanger their lives, Mr Davies (Messrs Lloyd Meyrick and Davies, solicitors, Cardiff), applied, on behalf of the defendants, for an adjournment for a week, inas- much as the summonses were not served till the previous Friday, He had not been instructed till Saturday, and there were several witnesses his clients wished to call. They had given notice of their intention to apply for an adjournment to Messrs Downing and Handcock, the solicitors for the Barry Company.—Mr G. C. Downing objected, pointing out that it was only a simple case of trespass.-The Bench granted an adjournment till Friday, Colonel Thornley remarking that it was very difficult to obtain magistrates not interested in the Barry Company, and he could not come down again on Friday to hear the case. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST CARDIFF HAULIERS. Two Cardiff hauliers, Henry Mitchell and Frederick Harrison, were charged with obstructing certain carriages on the Barry Railway in such a manner as to retard them in their journey. Mr G. C. Downing (Messrs Downing and Handcock^ solicitors, Cardiff) appeared for the prosecution. Dock-constable Cooling said that at 5.30 a.m. on the 25th of April he was on duty at No. 11 Tip- road at the west end of Barry Docks, and there saw the two men on the low level pushing a wagon along. They pushed it about ten feet. Mitchell then uncoupled a second truck, which they failed to move. The result was that the train had to move off without the two trucks, Harrison crossed the metals with his cart, but Mitchell drove to the level crossing. He asked defendants for their names and addresses, but Harrison gave a false name and address. When witness asked them why they uncoupled the trucks, Mitchell replied he did not think he was doing wrong he was in a hurry to get home.—Mr W, W. Waddell, engineer of the Barry Railway, produced the plans, and said the line on which the trucks stood was the local main line to the south side of the dock.—Sidney Owen, mineral guard, corroborated the evidence of the constable. He was, he said, the evidence of the constable. He was, he said, obliged to take the two trucks after the train to the south side of the dock.-Harry Bradbrook, the guard of the train, said he stopped his train near No. 10 Tip to uncouple some wagons. The last two trucks were securely fastened to his train. On arriving at the south side of the dock he found the two trucks were missing. -Defendants, who had nothing to say, were committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions, bail being allowed. FOUL-MOUTHED SUNDAY TRIPPERS TO THE VALE. Henry Griffiths, John Griffiths, and Edwin Griffiths, of Cogan, were summoned for using obscene language in a carriage on the Vale of Glamorgan Railway on Sunday, the 31st ultimo. Evidence in support of the charge was given by P.C. Wingrove and Daniel Fisher, guard of the train and the defendants were ordered to pay a fine of 20s and costs each, or in default 14 days' imprisonment. CARELESS DRIVER. Arthur Rice, another Cardiffian, pleaded guilty to being drunk whilst in charge of a horse; and trap at Barry Docks on the 13th instant. Dock- constable Strongword stated that the defendant was asleep in the trap, and was about 10ft. from the edge of the dock when he stopped- the animal. —Rice was mulct in 10s. NO LIGHTS. Charles Townsend was fined 2s 6d for driving without lights after sunset. DISAGREEABLE OFFENCE. A fine of 5s was imposed upon Giles Pitt, of Everard-street, Barry Docks, for using a water squirt and throwing water over pedeatriana.$?&■ WARRANT AGAINST A WOMAN, A warrant was ordered to be issued for the appearance of Mary Lewis for using obscene language in Holton-road. DISORDERLY CONDUCT. For being guilty of disorderly conduct, the Bench fined Dan Carey, a coal-tipper, 5s and ordered warrants to be issued for the appearance of Thomas and Mary O'Donnell, Evans street, Barry Docks, for the same offence. DRUNKS. The maximum penalty imposed on the present occasion upon those charged with being drunk and disorderly was 5s, the defendants being William Doyle, John David Mason, William Trevor, Thomas Donaldson, William Jones, and Sarah Evans. Mark Develin and Harry Bullock-were fined 2s 6d each whilst Edward Davies and James Cook were cautioned. DEFECTIVE MILK. Three local milk vendors appeared before the court charged with selling milk having a deficiency of butter fat, the defendants being Thomas Watts, Barry Island and Jemima Bott and James Gerald, both of Cadoxton. The prosecution was conducted by the Barry District Council, who were represented by Mr T. B. Tordoff, clerk and solicitor, and evidence in support of the charges having been given by Mr S. B. Sommerfield, sanitary inspector, who said that in the case of Watts he only sold a small quantity of milk daily, Watts was fined 10s and costs, and the other two defendants 20s and costs.

CHAPTER OF THEFTS AT BARRY. At a special sitting of Penarth Police Court held on Saturday afternoon last-before Mr J. Sydney Batchelor and Colonel Thornley-several cases of robbery from the Barry district were heard. SHOPLIFTING BY AN EX-SOLDIER. The first charge was that of Joseph Sullivan, who was lately dimissed from the Army with ignominy. He was arrested on Friday afternoon for having stolen two pairs of boots from the doorway of the shop of Mr E. Bennett, Holton- road, Barry Docks. He was seen unhooking the boots from a nail, and was caught by a constable after an exciting chase down the street. Sullivan was fined 20s and costs, but being without the wherewithal, he was sent to prison for a month's hard labour. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OF A BURGLAR. James Miller, a plumber, was placed in the dock charged with breaking and entering the house of Carl Wiberg, Kingsland-crescent, Barry Docks, on Friday night, and stealing therefrom a case containing jewellery value £ 5. belonging to Mr Wiberg; also a dressing case and a case of jewellery value £10, the property of Captain and Mrs Crosky, who were staying with Mr Wiberg. Miller's conduct was somewhat extraordinary. By some means he got into Wiberg's house, and having committed the robbery he coolly got into bed in Captain Crosky's room, and went to sleep. When found he had the stolen property in his possession.-The accused was committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions on both charges. CHARGED WITH ROBBING A SHOPKEEPER AND LODGER. Rowland Jones described himself as a collier. He was charged with theft of a purse containing £ 3 10s from the shop of Henry Pullen, restaurant- keeper, Plymouth-road, Barry Island. There was a second charge against him, that of stealing £1 Is from the pocket of Bertie Crid, a fellow- lodger, both thefts being alleged to be committed on Friday night. In both these instances a committal for trial at the Quarter Sessions was made.

The Cycling World. -:0:- t, A motor bicycle tyre may be very fast and the acme of resiliency, but on the question of under- going the hard wear and tear of the incessant road Il'ic,ion-otherwise durability—it stands or falls. A lyre that not only fulfils these desirable features, but will also wear for long periods, is the Dunlop two-inch motor bicycle tyre. It has won golden opinions from all who have tried it. The prin- ciple of construction by the new patent process, is the same, from the ordinary bicycle tyre up to those made for the heaviest cars. The Government being about to bring in a Bill for the registration of motor-cars for identification purposes, there is little use in the Automobile Club promoting a Bill for the same object. The points in the Club Bill are the removal of the speed limit, the registration 0 r motor-cars (electric broughams and motor bicycles excepted), the licensing of professional drivers, and the right of appeal against Courts of summary jurisdiction. The removal of the speed limit would place motorists on the same footing as drivers of ordinary vehicles, and they could be summoned for furiously driving to the public danger, but the prosecutor would have to prove that the public was actually endangered at the time. Whether Mr. Walter Long will adopt all or some of these points in the Government Bill remains to be seen. It will be remembered that at the last annual c meeting of the Cyclists' Touring Club, a pro- position was put to the meeting—That motorists be admitted to membership of the Club, and entitled to the same privileges as existing mem- bers. This proposal was lost by a large majority, so the executive of the Club decided to take a postal vote of the members, since they considered it was to the club's welfare that automobilists should be admitted. The result of the postal vote was declared in this month's issue of the Gazette, and shows that 3,534 members voted in favour of admitting motorists, as such, to membership, and 4,701 against. The proposal of admitting all tourists to membership was also defeated, only 1,870 members voting for, and 6,458 against. Now-a-days it is surprising how very common it is for a bicycle to be out of alignment without the knowledge of the rider. The steering is not only affected, and the tendency to side-slip greatly accentuated, but it also sets up a considerable amount of wear and tear in the tyres. If the machine exhibits a tendency to run to one side, especially when ridden without holding the handles, it is a certain sign that the wheels do not track. The best and cheapest remedy is to take the machine to a first-class mechanic. The walking mania still continues to receive attention, and a race between a pedestrian and a cyclist has just, been decided over the famous Brighton road course. The competitors were two members of the London Stock Exchange, and the match was for a wager of £100, with side bets amounting to close upon a thousand pounds. The conditions of the race were that the cyclist should ride from Brighton to Westminster and back, a distance of 104 miles, and the pedestrian foot the 43 miles from Croydon to Brighton. The starts were made at 4.30 a.m. and accompanied by his attendant on a motor car- with food, etc., the pedestrian made good pro- gress at a six mile an hour gait. In the meantime the cyclist was riding well, .and in spite of two punctures and a bad spill, arrived back in Brighton at 11.18, nearly an hour before the pedestrian. The times and distances were: Cyclist, 104 miles, 6 hrs. 48 min: Pedestrian, 43 miles, 7 hrs. 37 min, 38 1/5 sec. A man who was brought up before the magis- trates sitting at the Hastings Borough Bench, on the charge of cycle stealing, told a sorrowful tale, in the course of which surprassed sobs were fre- quently heard. It was not that he feared the consequence of his foolishness, but in his kindness of heart he pleaded for bail, so that he could visit and recompense his numerous victims. The magistrates had their doubts, and wisely detained him in custody. A very evident sign that the wheel of a bicycle requires truing up, is when the rim brake acts unevenly and the machine moves jerkily. The setting of the wheel should be done without delay, as the longer it is left in this condition the worse it will become. It will not right itself, moreover, the jerky action is likely to cause a side-slip on a greasy surface. On motor bicycles especially a strongly constructed rim is compulsory. In this respect nothing can excel the Dunlop rim. It is specially constructed and of great strength, in. addition to its being fully guaranteed. Some changes have been made in the pro- gramme of the Gordon-Bennett race in Ireland. In the first psace it has been decided to start the cars at a minimum of seven minutes' intervals, so that, unlike the Paris-Madrid contest, it will be practically a time race. Secondly, arrangements have been made to draft another large body of police to help keep the course. Thirdly, extra. controls have been arranged for at dangerous corners and narrow places aiong the course. Finally, no spectators will be allowed within a hundred yards of the course, except where banks or stone wails exists. Further precautionary measures are under consideration, but, neverthe- less, the eliment of danger connected with this contest far outweighs the commercial potenti- alities. It is generally understood that the various counties through which the course lies,, will only permit the race to proceed under very vigorous precautions for the public safety. It is very probable that the King will be a- spectator at the Gordon-Bennett race. In any case royalty will be represented by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who lately invited Mr. R. Wallace and Mr. Orde to wait upon him in order that they might lay before him details of the arrangements for the Irish Fortnight. At the. interview, Lord Dudley made the interesting announcement that he intends witnessing the start and finish of the race from the Automobile Club's enclosure on the course, the starting point being also the finishing point. A garden party will take place on July 14th, at the Viceregal. Lodge, in the -Phoenix Park. The official support that is being given by the Irish Government to the great race will conduce considerably towards securing a successful event.
