Misconduct is denied, and the "defence is that a platonio affection only existed between the respondent and co-respon- dent. Mr. Cox-Sinclair, examined by Mr. J. Harvey llurphy, continued his evidence, began on Priday last. He said that when he went to the house on Boring Day, 1904, in response to 'the respondent's telegram, Mr. Helmore m e ho complaint about his being there. On a lSuent day he spoke to witness  about his letters being dictatorial. Demr'bixLg "the scene" on the 30th of December,  11 h. to a,d1Il1t. said that Mr. Helmore wished him w dmit that his wife spoke in earnest when  said Bhe loved him (the co-respondent^ ^<1 ?tr.

He had during; the year had business oom- munications with Mr. llelmore, and on the 9th of September he wrote to him: My dear Hehnore-Your wife has for a long time past been very depressed, and I fear ill. I have done all I can to encou g and cheer her up, but she gets InOr and more dispirited. Of oourse, I know aU the difficulties, but after that ?d businœs  I Christmas, and your leaving Bramflfl^ eW, I know that living without any friends  her is telling on her. I do not want to open matters of Quarrel between us, but can anything in the world be done to make things happier for us all? It may Beem strange that I, who am not a, rela- tive, should write like this, but I love her and the little ones so dearly that I cannot rest till things are happier. You must remember, if not a relation, I have spent & good part of my lifetime with them. That, said witness, accurately represented lis feelings at the time. It was not true ftiat he repeatedly embraced respondent, but he kissed her on parting. Mr. Cox-Sinclair emphatically affirmed that he had never misconducted himself with 'Mrs. Helmore. The First Kiss Cross-examined by Mr. Barnard, K.C., the 'co-respondent said -that he would not wil- lingly have done anything to compromise his friend's wife. He llrst kissed her in 1902, and she kissed him in the same year on his birthday. Mr. Helmore was not present on thoee occasions. He might have kissed her half a. dozen, times up to 1904. He had loved Helmore from the first time he saw her, and he had always known that she loved him. Did you (breathe a word of that to Mr. Helmore lbltil November, 1904?—No; but he knew it. Alone in th& Bedroom I Questioned with reference to the occasion Tvhen he was in the bedroom when Mrs. Helmore was in bed, he holding her hand, -witness said he was not there alone with her more than ten minutes, as other people were vorniag in and out of the room.

I do not understand why, if you were a friend of the husband, you should J hhaavve ebbee^enn in the bedroom at all on that oel-mi<)D?- For yeajs when Mrs. Helmore had been 1^ ? the knowledge of everyone and  of ?11 Mie petitioner, I have been in her room from time to time. Did you ever tell the husband of ? ??-„:) n?r? Why not; if there was no secrecy about^ Because he knew. Witness denied that he was holding Mrs. Helmore's hand. Asked if he had never done so, he replied that ho had no recollection of it. He also denied putting his arm round Mrs. Helmore s waist. He did not question Mr. Helmore's right to put an end to the intimacy. He deferred to Mrs. Helmore as "Dear Girl" in the husband's presence. Questioned as to why, agrainet the wish of Whe husband, he had, after being forbidden the house on the 30th. of December, met Mrs. Helmore the day after he left at Brighton, wifneas said he had met Mrs. Helmore 'because she wished it, but he was opposed jfco her meeting him there. Do you think now it was an honourable thing to do?-It was not dishonourable. Witness admitted he had met her after- wards on a. number of occasions. Why, after Mr. Helmore's warning, did you continue to meet her?—Because ehe was (continually unhappy. Was your love far her so strong thait you could not keep away?-No. Can you give me any other explanation?

Work for Miners ABERDARE COLLIERY COMPANY SUED An Interesting Action The case of Moyle v. the Powell Duffryn Colliery Company came on for hearing at Glamorgan Assizes to-day (before Mr. Justice Walton and a special jury). It was a case in which William Moyle and over a hundred colliers claimed various sums from the defendant company owing to the defendants not having, it was alleged, pro- vided them with a, reasonable quantity of work during certain dates at the Dletty Shenkin Colliery, Aberdare. Mr. S. T. Evans, K.C.. M.P.. and Mr. Sankey (instructed by Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., M.P., and Mr. Bailbache, appeared for the d-e-f end ants. The statement of claim set out that the plaintiff was employed by defendants under the oona-iliaticl" Board agreement, a.n ex- pressed term of which was th-a-t he should receive one calendar month's notice to ter- minate his employment, and it was the implied term of such agreement that the defendants were to find him a reasonable amount of work until the termination of the notice. No E-uoh notice was given, but the defendants in breach of the agree- ment on various days in June and July, 1905, neglected and refused to find a reasonable amount of work, or to provide a reasonable number of trams into which coal cut and won by plaintiff could be loaded. The defendants denied that they were forced to provide work when prevented by "falls," accidents, breakdowna of  renewals, repairs, and they declared that the reasons connected with the sWP13age of work were avoidable, and they were not reapmsible, After Mr. S?nkey had opened tbe  at length, his Lordship f"d the  tion was as to the implied  ^VidrwoX.W^h ui „blig»tioji to custom, but was to be inferred from the respective positions of the parties. I The plaintiff then gave evidence, (PROCEEDING.)

Baronet v. Baron I A SWANSEA COLLIERY ROYALTIES j The hearing of the action brought by Sir John XJewelyn against Baron Glantawe re- specting colliery royalties, was resumed at the Glamorgan Assizes at Swansea to-day. Lord Glantawe was cross-examined by Mr. Hamilton, K.C. (for the plaintiff). His lorddhip declared that an agreement was come to between him and Mr. W. J. Bees (plaintiff's agent) and Mr. W. James, a solicitor, that he was to have the coa-l in the extra 450 acres. In confirmation of his statement, his lordship declared that a minnte to that effect was entered on the books of the Tirdonkin Colliery. Asked to produce the minutes, witness said, "I deli- vered the notes to the secretary, Mr. Taylor, s.t the time. The present secretary has spent a whole day trying to find the notes and has failed." From the 13th of February, 1900, you had committed yourself to your board, to the effect that the whole of the 460 acres would be got?—Yes. Now, do you appreciate, under the cir- cumstances, that you, if you were making a mistake in "counting your chickens before they are hatched," you would be responsible to the company?—It is a legal point. No, it is a business point. If you told them it could be got, and you had Jumped Too Soon you would take a great responsibility?-Yes. I Is this the part of p. letter you wrote to Mr. Bees after the conversation you allnae to, when you say the agreement was made: "I am sorry to hear from Mr. James tnat Sir John Llewelyn does not see his way to re-consider generally the terms of the Penller- ira er minerals. I think, however, if will be good enough to put before him this letter he may very reasonably assent to the pro- position I am making." Is it right?-! must oonfess I don't quite understand it. I have read it to you twicep-i don tunder- stand that it has any reference to the letter Mr. James had written. At this stage, a conversation passed between counsel, and Mr. Hamilton remarked to the judge that if he would sanction an adjournment for twenty minutes or half an hour, something might be done to shorten, if not, terminate the case. Ilia' Lordship said he would agree if it would ..be ( f use. The court adjourned for half an hour, but the parties conferred for over an hour. When the judge returned to court he dismissed the jury until two o'clock. Mr. Hamilton announced that an amicable settlement had been arrived at. Lord Gian- ta.we to be granted further land in a wa.y that was satisfactory to both sides. He asked for an order accordingly, which was given. The terms were not announced, but it was understood that the plaintiff was to receive the amount paid into oourt on the claim and on the counter-claim, Lord Glantawe to receive an area of coal equivalent to but not identical with, the 450 acres in dispute, each party to pay its own ooste.

T.V.R. ENTERPRISE Automatic Ticket-issuing Machines It will probably interest our readers to know that automatic ticket-issuing roachin have been introduced by the Taff Vale Rail- way Company at their Queen-street and Dooks stations, by means of which intending passengers between those two points may be abl-a to obtain tickets by placing a penny in the slot. Passengers will thus avoid the necessity of going to the booking office window and, as sometimes happens during busy periods of the day, taking thei rturn in the queue of waiting passengers. rpke tickets used are similar to the ordi- nary third-class railway tickets, and are delivered with the date of issue clearly etainpcd upon the face. s -No doubt the arrangement will be found ?

r HORRIBLE CRIME. Young Woman's Head Nearly Cut Off. 1 I SUICIDE OF HER ASSAILANT. A shocking murder was committed on Monday night at Lake Hill, overlooking the town of Barnstaple. A single young woman, named Lydia Brown, was found on the high- way with her head almost severed, and with terrible stabs in the shoulder and breast. The crime was witnessed by a email boy, who at once ran frightened into the town. The police went to the scene, and found the woman lying dead on the road. A young man was seen to run away, and later a man's body was found on the railway close to the road, with the head almost severed. The body is supposed to be that of the murderer. The motive of the tragedy is ascribed to jealousy. Afterwards it became known that a. young man named Dean, who, was walking with his sweetheart along the road near Lake Hill, was suddenly set upon by "a wild-look- ing man," and stabbed in the shoulder, sus- tmining a very ugly wound. Dean is assistant to a wine merchant in Barnstaple. He was conveyed with all speed to his home, and medical assistance fetched. Needless to say the tragedy has caused an enormous sensation in the quiet old Devon- shire town. The man whose body was found on the railway was named Ash, and he was 21 years of age. FURTHER DETAILS. The young woman Lydia Brown, who was last night murdered at Barnstaple by a young man named John Ash, was not encaged to her jiseailant. It appears, however, that the couple were on friendly terms. Miss Brown for a few months lodged with Ash's parents, with whom he also resided in the hamlet of Lake, close to Barnstaple, brat for the past two months she resided in Barnstaple with her aunt. Here Ash had more than once visited her. The meeting of the couple yesterday evening was at the request of Ash, but the girl did not altogether favour his attentions, he being much younger. She was advised by her rela, tives not to meet the young man if she did not OM'e to ?mmedi?ly after Ash cut Misa Brown's throat, a.

BROTHERS AT ARMS I" Bristol" Bush on the Scene Thomas James, of Goodrieh-street, Caer- philly, appeared, with his eye hamdaged, at the local court to-day and charged his ibrotiher Chartes with unlawful wounding. I Prosecutor alleged that the row com- menoed at the Bridgend Hotel, Bedwas, where defenda-?t threatened to get his own b?cik, if it was in 50 years to come.

Thomas, J.P., described the (wounds as laoenaited "amd of an irregular Y Shape." Considerable care would have to ibe exercised with the injury to the eye, wMoh he (the doctor) stitched. A stick or a fall might have ca-ured the wounds. Police-constable Tudor Jenkin. proved the arrest, and prisoner pleaded guilty, but wa.s sent to the quarter sessions, a brotheT of iDave Peteirs, the boxer, becoming one of the eureties in bail. A charge of assaulting Jamies Barspery as far back as 1904 was them pavfferred against defendant, who pleaded not guallfty.

[ Cashier and Doctor SEQUEL TO A DIVORCE PETITION The sequel to a divorce suit was heard yes- terday in the Westminster County-court, when William W. J. Miller, bank cashier, brought an action for alleged slander against Dr. Charles Fowler, who had been unsuccess- fully cited by the plaintiff as co-respondent in a, suit against his wife. The parties reside at Thornton Heath. The action was remitted from the High Oourt. Mr. Arthur Powell, K.C.. in opening the case, stated that the words complained of were used while the divorce proceedings were tending, and suggested a conspiracy between the plaintiff and his wife. Harry W. Towee, civil engineer, said that in March, 1904, Dr. Fowler called on him with reference to the divorce proceedings, which had just been commenced. Dr. said it was "a case of blackmail, pure and simple; a. put-up job (between Miller and his wife." The witness said, "It is d. very serious allegation," and he replied, "Yes, I've a full and complete answer to the whole of it, and the whole case will be taken up by the Nee-i cal Defence Association. The plaintiff, a man of apparently about 40 years of age, said he started proceedings against his wife and defendant in January, 1904. believing his action absolutely proper. While makiilg inquiries in that case the facts transpired. on which he brought the present action, which he had brought to clear his character before the world. "And," he added with gre-10 heat and pointing to the doctor, "to show this man up. What else is it for?" Cross-examined, ha admitted that the judge said Dr. Fowler was; dismissed from the petition with costs, and had absolutely cleared himself and left the court without a stain upon his character. The defendant d-e-nied in detail making any of the allegations attributed to him. He said nothing to anyone, except perhaps his wife, about the story being" concocted. The jury found for the defendant, and judgment was given accordingly, with costs.

Rotten and Putrid" I BIG SEIZURE OF TINNED MEAT I The Guildhall Yard, London, was a scene of considerable excitement to-day, when tlrsoo of the oorporotion dust-vans drove up, fully laden with cashes bearing the stamp of a well-known American canning company. The va.ns were in charge of sanitary inspeotorB, and the oases and tins) of preserved meat were opened for the inspeot-ion, of the medical officer of heaith.. a magistrate, and repre- sentatives of the owners. -Later an applied081 was made to the magistrate for aID- order of condemnation of eleven thousand tins of mixed foods, which articles, it was stated, were totally unfit for food, and were seized on the premises of a firmi of auctioneers in Barbican, where the majority of tins were catalogued for sale. It was also stated that the whole of tha consignment had been purchased frotm a dealer, who said he bought the tials from the military authorities at Pretoria and Johemsneeburg. Mr. Davies, one of the sanitary inspectors of the City of London, said in all he seized 11,908 t-no. It was all unwholesome, unsound, and unfit for food of man.

POLICE ON TRIAC > SHOP ASSISTANT'S ARREST For Refusing Name and Address t The Royal Commission inquiring into the conduct of the London police sat again at the Guildhall, Westminster, to-day, under the presidency of Sir Brynmor Jones. The Com- mission considered the case of the shop assistant Baker, who was arrooted under cir- cumstances, according to the police, as follows. On Sunday, September 30, he came out of a. public-house in Campden Hill-road, Kensing- ton, and was taken in custody on a charge of being drunk and disorderly, the police- man who arrested him asking his name and address, and telling him he would report him foi committing a nuisance and contravening one of the London County Council's bye-laws. Baker refused to give his name and address. Earl Russell, representing the Police and Public Vigilance Society, cross-examined the witness closely as to the nuisance he alleged Baker had committed. Two women end some men said the witness, were standing oa the opposite side of the roadway. Earl Russell: Did not Baker say he would give you his name and address at the station?—No, he shouted at me apd con- tinued to shout. If he had given you his name and address, would you have taken him to the station? j No, sir. Then you arrested him because he would not give you his name and address?—No; I! arrested him because He Was Shouting Did he show any signs of being drunk?—He was staggering about, and was shouting so much that people stopped at the top of the road, twenty yards away, and looked down the road. I don't know whether you will really telJ me what you arrested him for?-For being drunk and disorderly and shouting. You didn't tell him you were going to charge him with being drunk and disorderly —No, sir. Did you have any conversation with him on the way to the station?—I told him to put his pipe out. Why?—I wouldn't let him smoke, as he was in custody. What account did you give the inspector at the station?—I told him what Baker was doang, and that he was shouting. I also told him that when I asked for his name and address Baker said, "I'll give you my name and address. Wlliat do you want it for?" Earl Russell: What did you tell the in- spector about bis being drunk?—I said he was staggering about when he came out of the public-house. Witness denied that he heard witness say to the inspector, You are not going to take this charge, are you? The officer has brought me here to leave my name and address." Next day at the police-court witness said he did not tell the magistrate that Baker Refused to. Give His Name I and address, a,m!. witness could not tell now a statement that he diid not say so appeared in the notes. The magistrates discharged the case. Earl Russell: Did he make any observa- tion?—No. EaJrl Ruasell: You are unfortunate in your prosecutions sometimes, aren't you ?—No. sir. Witness explained that he gave evidence in a oott.ing summons against a public-house, which was dismissed. He denied that he was the principal witness in that case. Mr. Eldon Bankes, K.C. (foT the police): Has laJnyome complained of your conduct in tha.t case up w th,ir, moment?—No, sir. The Chairman: Are you under the impres- [name] that you have a right to ask the name and address of people who are contravening London County Council bye-laws?—Yes, sir. The Chairman: You thought you were justified in asking Mr. Baker for his name iaind address?—Yes, six. If he had given his name and address right off there would have been. no arrest?-T%zt is so. He was not disorderly in his drunkenness?— No, sir. I The Chairman: Then I suggest that the way you told the story to the magistrate was not at all fair to Mr. Baker?—It was simply the facts of the case that I told. A dialogue occurred between the chairman and Mr. Eldon Bankes as to the occasions on which a constable had a right to ask a man for his name and address. The Chairman expressed the view that a constable only had such a right when a man was contravening a police act, and said, "if I am walking up St. James's-street, no con- stable has a right to come up and say, "Your name and address, please"? If he did I should say, "I don't give it." Mr. Bankes: And nothing more would be heard of it? The Chairman: I don't know; I should possibly bring an action against him. (Laughter.) Mr. John Walton, whose tenant Baker was, told how he bailed out Baker on the Sunday night in question at 1.20 a.m. Inspector Mason, in command that night at Notting Hill Police-station, told a story of Baker's demanding to see a private doctor before he was bailed out. The inspector sent for a doctor, and explained in a note that the police would not pay his fee. He could not come. Another doctor was then summoned < at the desire of Baker, and a reply was returned that this doctor refused to come. Baker suggested a third doctor. Meanwhile the divisional surgeon arrived and examined baker, and gave a certificate to Baker, "Baker recovering from drink, 12.50 a.m. Replying to Earl Russell, the witness said that if Baker had refused to be examined by the divisional surgeon he would not have been examined. This was a rule of the ser- vice. Baker told him that he had refused to give his name wnd address to the police officer because he thought he had done no (harm. The Chairman (to witness% ): Did you reflect. that the ohiarrge was a very seraous one agladnst Mr. Baker, and misht affect his employment and wthote life?-Yes, sir. The Chairman: Did it occur to you that Baker migiht be resetting, an-d justly res-,t- ing, being asked his name and addrees;- No, silr. Witness explained he believed that such a contravention' of the bye-laws as oom- matted by Baker justified the policeman m asking for his name and address. The Chairman: Do y\1. think -now that you exercised a, wise judgment in taking the ciharge of drunk and disorderly. I thong ihe was drunk, and Istill thrnk he was guilty of disorderly conduct. The Chairman :Wfeem. in your opi,n,ionI does a man become drunk. When he loses control of his limbs. The Chairman: Algous01 that may be due to excitement?—I see no reason why a oon- stable should bring a man to a station on a false change. I plaœ implicit faith iu Shis discrimination. The Commission adjourned until to- morrow.

Bibles and Bankruptcy 100 PER CENT. PROFIT "Want of capital and credit being stopped" were the causes assigned for his failure by Richard Ernest Hampton Jeffery, trading as Ernest Jeffery, commercial traveller, 209, Mack- intosh-place, Cardiff, who attended a meeting of his creditors at the office of the Official Receiver this morning. His statement of affairs showed liabilities amounting to L542 10s. 2d., and his assets L305 lB. 2d., leaving a deficiency of zEZ37 9s. The Official Receiver, in his observations, stated that the bankrupt had been employed for some years at Bristol as a traveller, but, in order to increase his income, ihe took orders for books, principally family Bibles, and in 1898 he executed a deed of assignment. In 1899 he came to Cardiff, and was employed by a South Wales firm as a commission agent and traveller, and in 1902 he re-commenced canvassing for orders for family Bibles on. his own account. The principal creditor, the Soame who was trustee under the deed of assignment, was scheduled for £ 529 6s. 2d. for Bibles, &c., supplied between 1902 and 1906. The bankrupt's system was to supply Bibles, principally to the working classes, on the instalment system. The bankrupt was later in bhe day pub- dicly examined before Mr. H. Cousins, regis- trar. Mr. Evan Davies appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr. Walter Watts, of Bristol, appeared for a creditor. In answer to the Official Receiver, the bankrupt stated that he bought Eng-liah family Bibles aH 17s. 3d. and tlie Welsh at 22s., and he sold both for 45tf. Five Elhi,E,ingr, was generally allowed in discount. That is a pretty good percentage ?-Fair. Fair! It is more than 100 per cent., and you did not seeim satisfied with that. Bankrupt admitted that from the sales of Bibles in four years ending 1906 he had re- ceived £1,631 14s. 7d. for his own use. What have you done with it?—Beyond domestic and trading expenses I am unable to expLain where the money has gone. Here you have been spending an average of over X400 a year. Do you mean to say you cannot account for it?-No, eir. I am totally unable to account for it further than that the money has gone in expenses. I have not lived extravagantly. My expenses have been higher than I reckoned for, especially during the first and second years of trading. My own personal expenses would run close on XZ a week. The Official Receiver: That leaves LS a week for home. He admitted that he had misrepresented his position to the firm, but not intentionally, The examination was closed upon the notice being signed.

Arrested by Exciseman. "DEMONSTRATtON" IN A CELLAR Henry Robert Stevens, a traveller, was charged at Enfield Police-court yesterday with being found manufacturing an excisable article witilioll t a licence, and ailso with incIting Mr. Young, the manager of a public- house at Enfield, to embezzle his master's money. It was alleged that he offered to sell Mr. Young a preparation which, when mixed with water, enable him 1.) adulterate beer without detection.

Stevens should give him a demonstration of his preparation in the, cellar of the public-house. He did so. and after eight gallons ha 1 been drawn from a barrel of beer he filled dt up with seven and a half gtallons of water, a pint and a. half1 of his preparation, and about half a pint of "finings."

WELSH V. FRENCH Cardiff Shipowners' Discussion At a meeting of the Cardiff Shipowners' Association, to-day, Mr. G. II. Wills presiding, the question of compulsory teaching of Welsh in Cardiff schools was discussed, and the fol- lowing resolution, which will be submitted to the city council, was unanimously adopted: Having regard to the laTge number of lads who obtain employment, a.t the Docks when, sohool life is finished, the members considered it their duty to lay before you their views on the matter. While sympa- thising with the desire of Welsh parents that their children should speak their native tongue, the members are of opinion tha-t if such parents speak Welsh at home there would be no necessity for its being taught at schooh But, if the educational authorities still taluk it necessary to teach Welsh in the schools, then it should lie optional, for it it is an absolute injustice that ohildren should be compelled to learn a language which their parents feel can be of no use to them in after life. The members, also, desire to express their further opinion that, having regard to the considerable advantage a child would have in obtaining employment at the Docks, if he or she had a knowledge of French, that special efforts should be made to successfully teach that language in your schools, and would sug- gest a sufficient number of French persons being engaged for this purpose.

"CRUMPY" COUNTY COURT CASE Mrs. Harris, a married woman, of Barry, sued her brother, Wlilliam Roberts, of Llan- daff, at the Barry County-court to-day for the return of a Piano, belonging to her deceased mother, who, it was alleged, had repeatedly promised that the instrument should be left to her. Mr. A. Parsons (instructed by Mr. J. Hughes, solicitor, Barry) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Lewis Morgan, solicitor, Oardiff, defended. Plaimtaff maintained that her mother had, in fact, given her the piano before her death, and called several witneeses to prove this, but for the defence it was contended that defen- dant signed the purchase agreement, and paid most of the instalments for the piano. There was a counter-claim for furniture which had been removed without consent by the plaintiff in the firs tease, who set up the defence, as in the first instance, that the goods had been given to her by her mother, and some she had bought herself. The Judge described it as an unfortunate dispute, and said it was not creditable to members of this large family to bring this crumpy dispute into court. He gave judg- ment for the defendant in the action aand judgment for the defendant in the oounter- claaim.

FISHING FLEET IN DANGER Mneh excitement was caused at Ilfracombe Harbour to-day, when it became known that the fishing fleet Wai; in danger during v, heavy westerly wind. The boat Lily, manned by Thomas Wil- liams and two cousins, was swamped, and the men had a narrow escape off the Beacon Point. Other herring fishing boats went to their assistance and rescued them, the boats also putting out from the harbour. Crowds soon congregated, the women folk being much relieved at the rescue. They feared their husbands had been drowned.

"LEX POPULI POPPEA." Income Tax and Large Families Mr. Wedgwood asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in tes House of Oommons to-day whether his attention had been drawn to Mr. Sidney Webb's inquiries a.nd conclusions as to race euicide. and whether he would consider the propriety of embodying in a,ny future graduation of the income-tax rebates dependent on the number of children in a family. Mr. ASQUTTH said he had read Mxr Webb's interesting papers, but he confessed, without realising thesr bearing upo nthe graduation of income-tax. In tie consideration he was giving to the subject, he would not lose sight of the hon. member's suggestion, which the Chief Secretary for Ireland reminded him was amounting to a lex populi pap pea.
