Monmouthshire Merlin

BLAENAVON. ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday last a young man named Walter Griffiths met with a severe accident at the Forge. He was engaged in some work to which he was not accustomed, that of driving a horse, and unfortunntely got jammed between a winch and the landing platform, and was nearly crushed to death. He was immediately attended to by Dr. Steel, under whose able treatment he is now progressing favourably. ANOTHER ACCIDFNT.-One day last week a young named John Taylor, who is a local preacher with the Bible Christians, met with a severe accident, while at work in the Corty pits. He was driving a steel wedge, which rebounded from the blows and struck him in one of his eyes, which ran out.

MONMOUTH. Mop FAIR.—The old-established, but not time- honoured, amusements were plentifully sprinkled throughout the fair on Wednesday last. The deafening din of gongs and drums, a strolling theatre, with an air of tawdy dirtiness, &c., lent their aid towards providing what some persons call amusement for the lieges. Swings and gaudily-painted 11 merry-go-rounds" were plentiful, and the delighted juveniles testified their ap- probation by liberally patronising. Cheap John bestowed his eloquence on gaping crowds, who testified their faith by freely purchasing from his stock. In the course of the day the strains of not very bewitching music were heard from several public houses, where John and Mary were tripping the light fantastic toe." There wag good supply of stock, but the trade was not alto- gether so brisk as was expected. Cows with calves, fetched from £ 14 to £ 16. In pigs there was a slight improvement, and they sold off well. Sheep, a very fair sample, and realising about, out of the wool, 7d. per lb. in the wool, 8d. to 8|1. per lb, beasts, 6J. to 61d. ditto, sinking the offal. Of horses a good show, and useful nag and carters fetched high prices. PAVING MEETING.—A meeting of the Commissioners was held on Monday last in the juryroom, T. Watkins, Esq., in the chair. The business chiefly related to the paving, and reporting nuisances in the town. COUNCIL MEETING. This body met on Thursday last. This was the quarterly meeting, and the subject of a Corn Exchange was discussed, and which we are given to understand will be erected in this town in due time.

INTOLERANCE IN SrAIN.-The Grenad a Court of Appeal has just sentenced Matamoras to nine years of heavy imprisonment for offences against religion, and another of the co-accused to seven years' imprisonment, with deprivation of civil rights. Mr. Rawlinson, who was engaged by the Poor Law Board to organise a scheme of out-door labour, at fair wages, for the unemployed workpeople in Lancashire, is already on the scene of his labours. He visited Blackburn on Monday, and is engaged in inspecting the wants, and judging of the capacities for improvement of the towns in that neighbourhood. From his expla- nation to the authorities there it appears that Govern- ment is willing to advance money for a term of years, and at a low rate of interest, to municipal bodies, boards of health, &c., to carry out sanitary improve- ments and other works.

I LIFE AT THE ENGLISH COURT. Mr. T. H. Siddrni?, who statrs that he fnrrre^y f-pJ.-T a Household appointment, appears in Harper's New York Jfagazine as the author of a paper entitled "A Queen's Day." The following is an extract from this revelation," which is, of course, intended to gratify American curiosity as to the private life of a European Sovereign "Queen Victoria-I speak of her in the present tense, thought it is now four years since I was an inmate of the Palace-rises at half-past six in the summer, and half-past seven in the winter. After the toilet and morning service in the chapel of the Palace, she break- fasts Coffee, bread, butter, eggs, and cold meat consti- tute the usual repast. One or two ladies in waiting and an equerry have the privilege of partaking the morning meal with the Royal Family. Breakfast over, the Queen sallies forth to walk on the slopes of Windsor, or in the garden of the Palace, and generally visits, when at Windsor, the farm or aviary, looking at her I horses and the aquarium. Re-entering her dwelling, she goes in the nursery or the rooms in which the Princes and Princesses are going through their studies; then glancing at the Times and Morning Post she enters her library and receives the Master of the Household. This officer lay'd before her Majesty a memorandum of all the letters and applications he han received addressed to the Queen, and reports hew he has disposed of them. He is allowed a considerable latitude in regard to the dispensation of the Monarch's charities for, of course, the Queen cannot herself institute inquiries into the deserts of the numerous applicants. On the departure of the Master of the Household, the Lord Steward's Deputy enters to receive orders as to the invitations that shall be issued to persons of merit and distinction to visit Her Majesty. These persons arrive to dine one day, remain all the next day enjoying the individual atten- tions of one or other members of the household, and return home on the third day. These three days are called the days of lest,' 4 reception,' and departure.' At eleven o'clock the despatch boxes of the principal Secretaries of State arrive or are brought by the ministers themselves. There is one from the Foreign Minister, one from the War Minister, one from the Lords of the Admi- miralty, and one from the Home Secretary, with a sup- plemental box for the Premier, who is either First Lord of the Treasury or Chancellor of the Exchequer. The box of the Foreign Secretary receives primary attention. It contains a precis, carefully written and signed by the secretary or one of the under secretaries, of all the cor- rrspondence that has recently taken place with foreign powers, together with drafts of the supplies which it is proposed to send. If any knotty question is at issue, the Queen will probably desire to see the original despatches, if her wish in this respect has not been anticipated. The Foreign Secretary's box being closed, that of the War Minister receives attention. This box, in time of peace, contains a report of all that has been done in respect to new military inventions, and alterations in the clothing and equipment of the troops; recommendations of cer- tain general officers for important military commands, staff situations, or colonial governments and a list of all the promotions and appointments it is proposed to make. These latter are inscribed on large sheets of paper, and if there is nothing objectionable in any of the can- didates for preferment, the Queen attaches her sign ma- nual to each sheet. The Lords of the Admiralty make a communication corresponding with that of the War Sec e ary. The Home Secretary's box contains war- rants and patents for the Queen's signature, which war- rants confer judicial or ecclesiastical appointments upon the higher members of the bar and the clergy, or are the signal for the execution of great criminals. It is always a subject of deep sorrow to the Q ieen when the Home Secretary does not see reason for recommending her to exercise the royal prerogative of mercy. To con- sign a fellow-creature to eternity is revolting to her Christian spirit, and especially when that fellow-creature is a woman. Indeed, since the last paroxysm of anguish which the Queen endured on this account, it has been customary to assume that a murderess is a lunatic, and to confine her for life. The public affairs of the nation at an end, the Queen now receives visitors, either who have been especially invited, or persons who have been honoured with her commands' to attend at the Palaoe. Among these latter are artists and publishers who have rare and novel works to show Her Majesty, or her like- ness to take, persons entrusted with presents for the aviary, foreigners with special introduction from their own sovereigns, tradesmen w.ith articles which the Queen is desirous of purchasing, and so forth. After these folks have been dismissed the Royal Family take their lunch, at which the Queen eats and drinks heartily. The horses and carriages are then brought to the door, and Her Majesty either rides or drives out for three or four hours, frequently taking the opportunity of visiting some of the nobility, the Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of Inverness, or even (in the country) poor but worthy people who are confined bv sickness. Her Majesty's kindness to the suffering of her own sex is proverbial. It is on record that when Mrs. Warner, a tragic actreu of excellent character, was ill of a disease which ulti- mately carried her to the grave, the Queen sent a carriage every day, that she might have the advantage of pure air. On her return home, the Queen spends an hour in her private boudoir or library, and then dresses for dinner. A dinner at the Palace has always been a very stately dreary, tedious affair. The table service is of course superb-gold plate, Sfevres porcelain, alabaster rases, flowers, brilliant chandeliers, servants; in scarlet coata and powdered heads, a military band performing in an ante-room, and many ladies and gentlemen at table in full-dress costume. A profonnd silence reigns throughout the meal, only broken by the voice of the Queen ad- dressing herself to one or other of the guests who are expected to limit themselves to a direct reply. General conversation is carried on in whispers only. A great variety of wines are drunk at the Royal table, the Queen and Prince Albert confining themselves chiefly to German (Rhine) wines. After dinner the party adjourns to the drawing-rooms, and there the Qieen casts aside all ceremony, and gives herself up to innocent pleasures and the promotion of the enjoyment of her guests and family. If the party be not large, a chamber concert or a dance is improvised, the Queen herself taking a prominent part in the sinking and dancing. The objects of interest to the Strang, r in the suite of drawing-rooms are numerous, and the Queen is not slow to invite attention to and explain them-a hospitable office, in which she is cordially suata.ned by the Prince and Princess and the ladies and noblemen of the household. There are magnificent vases, statues of marble, bronze, and alabaster glorious pictures by the first masters, ancient and modern portfolios of engravings, musical instru- ments, curious articles of vertu, &c. All is life and abandon. At half-past eleven, or earlier, the Qieen retires, gracefully curtseying to the company, the ladies in waiting and the lady guests acknowledging the obeisance by sinking to the very ground."

CARDIFF. DEPARTURE OF RICHARD WEAVER.—On Monday, three cabs, containing the friends of the above popular preacher, who has-been at Cardiff for the last few weeks, proceeded from Roath and through Saint Mary-street on their way to the South Wales Railway Station, Mr. Weaver leaving Cardiff for London. He was followed through the streets by hundreds of persons of both sexes, singing hymns, &c. DROWNING IN THE EAST BUTE DOCK.—On Monday evening an inquest was held in the. Town Hall, before R. L. Reece, Esq., coroner, upon the body of a cjloured man, which had been picked up that morning when floating in the EEit Bute Dock by a captain who saw it when passing along.—The only evidenee as to who de- ceased was, was a letter signed by the British consul of Alexandria, which stated that the bearer was Daniel Maccaull, who had been left in an hospital in that city by his captain.—The jury returned a verdict of Found drowned." ANNIVERSARY MISSIONARY SERVICES —On Sunday last two sermons were preached in Weslev Chapel, Charles-street, by the Rev. John Holmes, of Walsall, in connection with the annual services of the Cardiff Branch of the Wesleyan Missions. At half-past two in the afternoon an address was delivered to the scholars of the Sunday Schools, at which many of the parents and the public were present. On Wednesday afternoon another sermon was preached by the Rev. J. Workman, of Lon- don, and other ministers and gentlemen delivered addresses; the chair being taken by John Bird, Esq., the Mayor. The attendances were large, and most liberal collections were made after each of the services. We may add that the Cardiff Branch is one of the most liberal supporters of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, in the amount of money they annually contribute to. wards it. DANGEROUS VISITOR. — On Tuesday afternoon an acci- dent occurred in Edward-street, Crockherbtown, which caused some excitement. A report of firearms was heard, and instantly afterwards it was found that a rifle ball had entered the back window of the house occupied by P.O. James, who was sitting at dinner at the time in company with his wife and child. The ball passed over the wife's head; and just grazed that of her husband, and struck the wall beyond. It fortunately happened that the wife had 'just put the ohild down, or in all probability it would have received the ball. CARDIFF POLICE.—FRIDAY. [Before the MAYOR, R. O. JONES and J. PRIDE, Esqrs.] FRACAS BETWEEN A MILITARY OFFICER AND A CARDIFF TRADESMAN. Mr. Wilkes, proprietor of the Cardiff Arms Hotel, was summoned for that he did unlawfully use certain threats towards Captain John Frederick Napier Hewett, from which he feared bodily injury, and therefore prayed that defendant be required to find sufficient sureties to keep the peace towards him. The nature of the proceeding complained of will be understood from the evidence of the complainant and the statement of the defendant. Captain John Frederick Napier Hewett, said he was a magistrate of the county of Glamorgan, and an officer and acting-adjutant to the Glamorgan Militia, which was at present embodied for twenty-one days' training. On Wednesday, the 29th ult., he was at the mess-room of the Cardiff Arms Hotel, in the performance of his duty of swearing in recruits. Mr. Wilkes came up in an excited manner, and brought a letter addressed to him. Witness read it, and it was from Mr. Wilkes, informing him that the officers should not use the mess-room in future. Defendant cried out in an excited manner, "A letter, a letter I" and witness was obliged to request him to retire. The room in which the occurrence took place was the ante-room of tbe mess-room, and witness be- lieving it to be the officers' room, peremptorily ordered the defendant out. Witness afterwards fetched Sergeant Glass, and in his presence defendant called witness as great a swinkler as Colonel Hewett, his father," a coward," "a puppy," said his family was the "scum of the earth," and that they were all a bad breed." Be made use of similar epithets as fast as he could utter them. The sergeant then endeavoured to pacify defen- dant, and advised him to leave the room. Mr. Wilkes then set up a claim to the room, and witness, not wishing to enter into a dispute, went out, and proceeded with the swearing-in in th-3 mess-room. Mr. Wilkes afterwards followed witness, and repeated the epithets, but he soon calmed down. Witness had been subsequently informed that Mr. Wilkes had threatened to shoot him and his horse, and knowing that defendant was a very violent man, he was afraid of personal injury from the threats. By Mr. Wilkes: Was staying at the Cardiff Arms Hotel from the 11th to the 14th of April. On Wednes- day last did not go to the bar of the hotel and ask for pens and paper, and commence swearing-in raw recruits there. The ante-room had over it, "Ladies' coffee- room." Never heard the officers did not pay for the use of the mess-room, nor that Y,40 was owing for rent. Had never been caught in the bedrooms with the servants. (Laughter.) (Mr. Wilkes was proceeding with another question foreign to the case, but was interrupted by the Bench.) Was not known as the "Whistling Parrot of the Cardiff Arms." Was not continually whistling the tune of the" Bagman," when commercial gentlemen and volunteer officers were in the house. Mr. Wilkts addressed the Bench in defence, and said be denied in toto the charge. Captain Hewett had for several months, during his stay at the Cardiff Arms Hotel, been in the habit of offering him every possible kind of insult and annoyance. He had found Captain Hewett frequently in the servants bedrooms, and on one occasion particularly. He always spoke to him (the speaker) in a manner unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. Captain Hewett was in the habit of whistl- ing to the tune of the Bagman," and sa frequently did he do so that the parrot had got it to a tee. Whenever commercial gentlemen, or volunteer officers came into a room where Captain Hewett was, he would curl his moustache and exclaim "Bagman" with a sneer. Hiero- glyphics were passed, and were so apparent, that gentle- men had to leave the room. The room in which the circumstances were said to have taken place was the ladies' coffee room, and complainant had no business there. He denied altogether the charge against him, and would be glad to leave the case in the hands of the bench. The Bench said they were of opinion that Mr. Wilkes had behaved in a threatening manner, and showed that he had some evil intentions at the time sufficient to cause alarm to Captain Hewett. They would require him to be bound over in the sum of £100, and two sureties of £ 50 each, to keep the peace for the next six months; and they would here remark that they considered Sergeant Glass, who was called in, conducted himself with much credit and discretion. SATURDAY. [Before the MAYOR, C. W. DAVID, and JAMES PRIDE, I Esquires.] I BROTHEL ROBBERY.—Mary Ann Bennett and Esther Jones, prostitutes, were charged with robbing Peter Winsey, medical assistant, belonging to Mountain Ash, of £25 10s., in a brothel in Bridge-street.- Prosecutor said he went to the house of the prisoners and went up- stairs with Jones. He put his hand into his pocket, for the purpose of getting money to send for something to drink. She threw him down on the bed, put her hand in his pocket, and ran off with his money. While going down stairs she dropped three of the sovereigns, which Bennett picked up, who also ran away. He immedi- ately gave information to the police.-On Jones being searched Is. 6d. was found in her boot, and some pawn- tickets, and two purses in her pocket.—Committed for trial at the sessions. DESERTION.—William Davies, militiaman, was charged by Sergeant Goddard, of the 23rd Welsh Fusileers, with deserting from the 52nd Foot.—Prosecutor said he en- listed the prisoner on the 22nd April, at Swansea, and he deserted before he was attested by a magistrate. As he was not attested, he was convicted as a rogue and vagabond, and sent to prison for a month. MONDAY. [Before the Mayor JOHN BIRD, Esq., aud R. O. JONES, Esquire.] SMUGGLING.—Edward Robinson, landlord of the Dock Tavern, was charged with smuggling two bottles of Geneva spirits. A custom-house officer named Phil- lips said that while he was on duty at the pier-head he saw the defendaut land from a boat. He had an Inver- ness cape on his arm. Witness asked him if he had any- thing about him liable to duty. He said he had only a biscuit, but afterwards said he had a bottle of Geneva. On being searched witness found another bottle of the same spirit about him. The Bench thought the case a bad one, and told defendant that he ought to have known better.—Fined 143. 3d. the treble value of the spirits, and 10s. costs. A WIFE BEATER.—Lawrence Madden was charged with beating his wife.-P.C. Hornblower said he saw the prisoner kick his wife three or four times. She bled, and appeared to be very much injured.—Mr. Goodeve appeared for the prisoner, and said the wife did not appear, and he thought it a case that should not be pressed severely.-His Worship remarked that he did not wonder at the non-appearance of the wife, for it was only on Saturday last he siw a man knock down his wife with a blow, and on the Mayor interfering, he was blamed by the wife.—Mr. Jones said that the magis- trates were determined to put a stop to such brutal practices, and committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour.

I BRECON. BRECON AND MERTHYR RAILWAY.—The opening of this line of railway took place on Friday morning under favourable circumstanoes. At nine a.m. the committee and their friends started from the temporary station near the Brecon barracks for Dowlais and Merthyr, with engines and carriages gaily decorated. The line was opened to Dowlais, about two miles from Merthyr. The length to Dowlais was 19 miles. There were two tun- nels, each about 700 yards long; the gradients were considerable, in some oases 1 in 40. Land had been purchased, and the bridges and works were prepared to receive a double line of rails, although at present only one line was laid down on the narrow guage. The con- tractors were Messrs. Savin and Ward. Between Brecon and Dowlais there are three stations, Talyllyn or Bryn- derwen, Talybont, an'd Dolygaer and nearly all those who know the route concur in saying that it is decidedly the most picturesque and delightful railway ride to be obtained in South Wales. The portion now opened commences at the Pant station, which closely adjoins that of Dowlais. From thence it runs up the Taff- fechan Valley, passing the artificial lake constructed for the supply of Merthyr and Dowlais, which forms a very beautiful and picturesque object. It then enters a tunnel about 700 yards in length, which goes through the Beacon range and comes out into another mountain valley called the Glen, leading through fine and romantic scenery of waterfalls, woodlands, and the opening of various glens. fhis scenery continues for about 6.1 miles, and the line then crosses the valley of the Usk at Talybont. Shortly after leaving the station there, it crosses under the Abergavenny road about the sixth milestone. It then ascends the side of the valley and crosses the Scethrog-ridge by a deep cutting, and then for a mile runs in full sight of the beautiful and celebrated lake of Llangorse. From thence it follows the line of the Hay tramroad to Brecon, from whence the valley of the Usk and the boldest outlines of the great beacons are the predominant features, and terminates for the present in a temporary station close to the barracks. The permanent station, we understand, is intended to be nearer the centre of the town.

BEAUFORT. SINGULAR ACCIDTNT. —On Friday last, the wife of a working man had determined to get her chimney swept, and arose early in the morning, so as to get it accom- plished before her young family were out of bed. She placed the fire. outside the door, so as to proceed with the chimney cleaning and just before she commenced opera- tions, she was called a little distance from her house. While she was away, a haulier came by with a cart load of bay and while passing the house the cart capsized upon the fire which the woman had just taken out. In a few seconds the hay and the house were in flimes. People ran from all directions, and used every exertion to extinguish the fire, which raged furiously. While all were busily engaged in attempting to extinguish it, a cry was raised that the children were upstairs. The window was at once smashed, and a hero of the Braidwood stamp rushed through the conflagration, and rescued them without injury. A portion of the hay was saved from the fire, and several of the rail way and other men assisted in re-leading It CBAPEL -ANNIVERSARY.—On Sunday last three ser- mons were preached in Barham English Independent Chapel here, on behalf of the trust funds of that place of worship- Mr. Edmund Edmunds, of Beaufort, preached in the morning, and the Rev. T. E. Nathan in the after- noon and evening. There was but a scanty attendance on each occasion. £ 4 was collected. INTENDED FFBTIVLTY. -We understand the railway contractors intend completing the magnificent 7-arch viaduct which crosses the Cwm Valley about Whitsun week, when it is proposed to celebrate the event by having a public dinner on the centre of the bridge. The Volunteer Band is engaged for the occasion, and people are expecting a high" day. MUSICAL G,&THISRING.-On Monday evening last the members of the Beaufort Philharmonic Society, together with a few friends, sat down to an excellent supper in their practice-room, at the Finer's Arms Inn. The table was spread with a bountiful supply of the good things of the season, and the courtesy and attention of Mrs. Lewis were favourably acknowledged. The cloth being removed, Mr. G. Sage was voted to the Aair. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been given, the chairman observed he felt exceedingly sorry that they were deprived of the company of their respected patron and president, W. Needham, Esq., for it was well known that he had always taken a lively interest in the cultivation and practice of inasic in Beaufort, and his patronage and support were always to be depended upon. His absence from the meet- ing was caused, no doubt, by the pressure of business' The Chairman then gave a detailed account of the rise and progress of the Philharmonic Society, which was formed in the year 1845. 'iheir first tune was II) my cottage near the wood," and it was with some difficulty they could manage the harmony of that old favourite air. However, this became the nucleus of the society, and from that period they had gone on together and, without any great pretensions, they had succeeded in becoming a useful society. If the members had taken pride in any- thing, it was in unanimity of spirit. During the whole period, there had never been an unpleasant evening spent, nor had anything arisen to mar the harmony of the society. By dint of perseverance and real love of music, they had succeeded in raising, by concerts, several hundred pounds for various charitable objects, and in other ways the society had been made useful. Many young men had left the locality, and gone to various parts of the world-teaching others what they themselves had learned in the Beaufort Philharmonic Society. For 16 yeirs the society regularly met for practice. W hen the volunteer movement started several of the members joined the Rifle Corps Band, and this was the means of breaking lip the society. The object of their meeting together upon this occasion was to re-orga- nise the old string band. Addresses were afterwards de- livered by the Rev. A. Tovey, J. L. Thomas, Esq Messrs. T. Greenland, W. Burchell, and J. Jones, upon the pleasures and usefulness of music and musical so- cieties. Votes of thanks were given to those who had taken the management of the affair, and the meeting broke up at an early hour, all appearing highly pleased with the proceedings, and also at the prospect of the.re- formation of the society.

ur pttw ox. o NEWPORT ATHENJEUM. ["0 THE EDITOR OF THE MONMOUTHSHIRE MERLIN.] SIR,-In your report of a meeting connected with this institution, the Hon. Secretary is stated to have ex- pressed a hope that the time was not far distant when a billiard table would be introduced there, and although the observation met no approving response from either of the subsequent speakers, it is rather a matter of sur- prise that no reproof fell from the Rev. Chairman in his reply. I believe the fundamental principle of such institutions is the social, moral, and intellectual improvement of the members and are there any among your numerous readers who would advocate the claims of a gambling- house as a fitting scene for the attainment of any of those objects ? What Christain mother or father, who now feels no disquietude whilst a son is spending his evening at the Athenaeum, would possess the same confidence if a gambling-table were connected with it ? And who does not know that the introduction to this town of so many of those so-called Hells," has caused the moral ruin of many promising young men, and blighted the hopes cherished by many a fond parent ? Probably Mr. Wood may, as his speech suggesst, be ready to reply that all other billiard. boards are at public- houses, and that the drink effects the evil. But can the Committee of the Athenseum he sure that the first step to billiards and a love for the fascinations of the gaming table acquired at that institution, would not induce the undisciplined youth to seek similar amusement else- where ? I believe, Mr. Editor, you will think with me, that if the day is near at hand wfcen a gambling-table shall be the day is near at hand wfcen a gambling-table shall be introduced to the Newport Atbenieum, the day will soon arrive when the standard of moral usefulness hitherto supposed to belong to that institution will be exceedingly low and if Mr Wood, who appears to view financial position only as the index of prosperity, should succeed in such an effort, I doubt very much if he will not be disappointed in the result. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, TOM.

BRISTOL BANKRUPTCY COURT. FRIDAY. (Before the Hon. T. M. WILDE, Registrar.) First meetings were held and assignees chosen in the following cases:—S. G. Homfray, Swansea, coal shipper (Messrs. Abbot, Lucas, and Leonard, solicitors). J. Teague, Blakeney, colliery proprietor, &c., (Messrs. Bevan, Press, and Inskip, solicitors.) In the case of W. Rees, Dowlais, grocer, the proceedings were trans- ferred to the Merthyr County Court. MONDAY. (Before Mr. Commissioner HILL.) RE THE CARDIFF PRESERVED COAL AND COKE COMPANY (LIMITED). A proof was admitted in this Court on behalf of Thomas Hill for the sum of £ 648 7s. On the motion to expunge this proof on behalf of certain contributories, the Deputy Commissioner (Mr. Alfred Hill) reduced it by the sum of X280 4s., leaving it to stand at the sum of J6368 3s. Against this judgment, the contributories appealed on certain objections, all of which were disposed of by the Lords Justices, with the exception of two, which their lordship referred back to this Court for its opinion thereon The questions propounded were, when expressed at ful length, first, whether the Cardiff Company were indebted at the date of its ceasing to trade in the sum of JE500 to Messrs. Cory and secondly, whether there was any valid appropriation of the sum of L600 to the payment of the alleged debt. To-day his Honour delivered a lengthy and elaborate judgment, in which he reviewed all the circumstances of the case, and concluded by answering both the questions referred to his decision by the Lords' Justices in the affirmative. Mr. Henderson, who appeared for Mr. Westall, the solicitor to the official liquidator, said that a sitting to make a call was fixed for to-morrow, which he presumed would be adjourned. Mr. Press, for the creditors for whom Mr. Fowler ap- peared, said he understood that Mr. Fowler was en. deavouring to arrange for an adjournment with Mr. Westall, and that it could be taken by consent to-morrow. RE CHARLES FLASKET, CARDIFF, JEWELLER. This was an adjourned last examination and order of discharge sitting. Mr. Edlin (instructed by Messrs. Clifton and Brook- ing), appeared for the assignees; Mr. Press for Mr. Morris, an opposing creditor and Mr. Charles Bevan for I the bankrupt. It appeared that the bankrupt was unable to attend through illness, and an adjournment to the 9th June was taken by consent. RE J. KERSHAW, LATE OF TREDEGAR. Mr. H. Brittan, official solicitor, said the bankrupt had not filed any balance-sheet, and had sent a letter stating that he was not able to attend, having just got a situation, and asking to have the time extended. He had been in- formed what would be the consequences of his non- attendance, but had written again stating his utter inability to come, from waut of funds. His Honour said he was afraid the bankrupt must be outlawed. RE WILLIAM HARRIS, RHYDFELEN, COLLIERY PRO- PRIETOR. Mr. H. Brittan applied that the petition which was filed against the bankrupt should, under the 98th section of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, 1849, be attached or annexed to a petition previously filed against Charles Davis, the younger. The petition against Davis, who was a partner with Harris, was filed on the 23rd of January, and on the 17th of March a petition was filed against Harris. Under the first petition no trade assignee was chosen, and the application was that the second petition, under which no assignee was chosen, might be annexed to the first petition, and the proceedings be carried on by the official assignee. Mr. Press, for the trade assignee under the second peti- tion, said that circumstances had arisen which rendered it desirable that the proceedings should be regular, and concurred in the application made by Mr. Brittan, which was granted by the Court. RE J. HARRIS, BLAENAVON, GROCER, &C. The bankrupt passed his last examination, and received his order of discharge without opposition. Mr. Press, for the assignees, objected to the admission of a proof tendered on behalf of Mr. M. B. Davis, executor of the late Mr. R. F. Davis, on the ground that the testator was either partner with the bankrupt, or that the bankrupt was the mere agent or manager of Mr. Davis. Mr. Edlin having been heard in support of the proof, His Honour gave judgment, rejecting the proof on the ground that a secret partnership was created by a deed between the testator and the bankrupt. At the same time, he admitted that the case was so full of difficulty that he would be willing to hear the case re-argued on this point, 01 that it should be taken to the Court of Appeal. TUESDAY. [Before Mr. Commissioner HILL.] RE THE CARDIFF PRESERVED COAL AND COKE COMPANY (LIMITED). The sitting for making a call in this matter was ad- journed, pending the discussion of the Lords Justices on the points referred back to the Commissioner, and upon which judgment was given on Monday. RE WILLIAM ELLIS, PONTYPOOL, GROCER. This was a sitting for the last examination and order of discharge. Mr. James Inskip appeared for the assignees, Mr. Blakey for an opposing creditor, and Mr. Henderson for the bankrupt. An examination of the bankrupt was taken by Mr. Inskip, principally directed to his transactions with his brother, who kept a shop at Blaenavon, and for whom he was in the habit of buying goods; The bankrupt denied that he had ever told Mr. Michael, of Newport, a creditor, that the shop at Blaenavon was his as well as the shop at Pontypool. He admitted having paid his father X60 on the 9th of March, the day on which he suspended business, out of which he had allowed him L20 in settlement of his brother's account. On the same day he paid a solicitor £10 to come to this court. His father had bought in about X38 worth of goods and furniture under the bankruptcy; he (the bankrupt) was now living in the house, and using the furniture. When he paid his father the X.40 it was not arranged that he should buy in the furniture after the bankruptcy. Mr. J. Inskip applied for an adjournment, to enable the assignees to bring up Mr. Michael to contradict the bankrupt, to have the cash accounts amended, and also to examine the bankrupt's father as to his receipt of upwards of zC60 from the bankrupt on the very day he paid a solicitor Y,10 to petition this Court for him. Mr. Henderson did not oppose the adjournment, but asked that the bankrupt might be paid his travelling expenses. Mr. Inskip said the bankrupt had had an allowance up to this day, and there was now no estate. The case was then adjourned till the 9th of June.
