——————— ] CAMPAIGN IN NORTH WALES CARNARVON. Throughout the whole of Carnarvonshire there are only fonr elected councillors pledged to administer the Education Act according to law, and these will be reinforced by only two aldermen, giving the educationists sia out of 66 seats, no fewer than seven Church- men having signed the Lloyd-George League and Covenant and his followers hamng oap- tured three seats. ANGLESEY. Anglesey tells the same tale, though two notable anti-Education Act leaders—Mr. Thos. Evans, Gaerwen, the vice-chairma«n of the oounty council, and th^ Rev. David Rees, Capel Mawr, ex-chairman of the county ooancil-ere handsomely beaten. But there will not be six members throughout Anglesey left to oppose the "no-rate" policy. FLINT. Great hopes bad been placed on Fimtsbire being taught the error of its ways. The Bishop of St. Asaph and the late Mr. Gladstone's son-in-law, the Rev. Harry Drew, had worked hard, backed up by the county gentry, to convince the electorate that obedience to the law was the best policy, but, though four seate were won between three towns, the net result of the etectton is to leave the relative strength of the parties the same as before, namely, 39 Iloyd-Georgeites to 17 prepared to administer the Education Act. MERIONETHSHIRE. Merionethshire has emulated Carmarthen- shire in refusing to recognise the voluntary schools, and it is an open secret that it is the next county to be proceeded against by the Board of Education. But the Oonservatives only contested four seats in the whole county, and these without effect. The net result is to leave the upholders of the Act in Merioneth- shire worse off than before, for whereas they had nine members out of 56 before the elections, they will only have two council- lors and one alderman on the new body. MONTGOMERYSHIRE. The net result of the county council elec- tions in Montgomewrshire is a gain of three seats to the Liberals. The state of parties in the old council was 23 Liberals and nineteen Conservatives, exclusive of the fourteen alder- men, of whom eleven were Liberals and three Conservatives. The division in the new council will be 26 Liberals and sixteen Conser- vatives. The Conservatives gained one seat and the Liberals four. At Newtown there was keen excitement, and Colonel Pryce-Jones, M.P., who was opposed by the Rev. T. E. Williams, Baptist minister, only succeeded in retaining his seat by a majority of fifteen. In the Llanwnog Division Mr. David Davies's letter condemning the no-rate policy had some little effect, but not sufficient to bring about a Unionist victory. The only Unionist gain in the county was a most interesting one. It was at Forden, the district rendered famous by the refusal of the guardians to levy the rate.

LONDON COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTIONS. A SLIGHT ADVANTAGE TO THE MODERATES. The triennial election of the 118 councillors of the London County Council took place on Saturday, and, notwithstanding a small not gain by the Moderates, sesatted in an over- whelming victory for the Progressives. The outgoing members consisted of 84 Progres- sives. 31 Moderates, two Independent Pro- gressives and one Independent Moderate. The Moderates gained nine seats altogether, being seven from the Progressives and the two Independent Progressives, whilst the Progressives gained seven mats-six from the Moderates, and the one Independent Mode- rate. An Independent also gained one seat from the Progressives. The returns show that, while they fall The returns show that. while they fall considerably below the figures polled at a Parliamentary election, there was increased interest in the contest. This was mainly due to the fact that the new council will have the administration of the Education Acts, re-placing the London School Board as the education authority. The subject of educa- tion was the one most keenly discussed, and resentment against the Government for passing the Act led to the united Nonconformist support for the Progressives. whilst the Church of England, led by the Bishop of Stepney, made a strong effort in favour of ttoe Moderates. A large number of Progressive candidates stated that they were in favour of administering the Act in accord- ance with the intentions of the Legislature, but in moat constituencies this was not aooepted as sufficient by the Church com- mittee, and accordingly the Progressives were generally supported by Liberals and Ncncon- for.uifrts, and the Moderates by Conservatives and the Church of England. Among the Welshmen who were returned were Mr. William Davies, J.P. (Battersea), Mr. T. Davies (Fulham—ex-mayor of Fulham), Mr. T. H. Idris (St. Pancras, E.), and the Rev. S. Jenkin Jones (Woolwich).

CARDIFF TEACHER FINED. INCIDENT AT THE HIGHER GRADE SCHOOL. An assault case in which a great deal of interest was manifested was beard (before the stipendiary) at Cardiff Police-court on Tuesday. The prosecutor was Frederick Henry Hathaway, a gentleman living at Llanishen, on behalf of his son, Gilbert Frede- rick Hathaway, a pupil at the Cardiff Higher tirade School, and the defendant Stafford HowelLs, a teacher at that achool. Mr. Arthur Lewis (instructed by Mr. Harold Lloyd) ap- peared to prosecute, and Mr. George David to defend. All the witnesses were ordered out of court. THE BOY'S STORY, Gilbert Frederick Hathaway, the lad alleged to have been assaulted, was then called. He stated that he was eleven years of age. On the afternoon of January Z8 Form 5 at the higher grade school, m which he was a. pupil, had been doing arithmetic, and he was sit- ting in the front row Sitting at his right hand was a boy named Evan David, and later he began to read a history book. Evan David flashed a pocket electric lamp on his book, and he asked David what it was. Nothing further transpired, and when His looked up he saw Mr. Howells standing in front of him with his hand raised. Mr. HowellS struck him on the top of the head with hia knuckles. Afterwards he (witness) felt dizzy and sick. After leaving school his head felt very bad. He went on a message to Cardiff for his mother that even- ing, and upon returning, his head still feeling bad, he burst into tears. Neither on Wed- nesday nor Thursday morning had he had a fall. in_the playground of the school through getting on the wall, and he had no injury to his head except that given him by Mr. Howells. Cross-examined by Mr. David, witness stated that the other boys in the class could have seen the defendant approaching him before he struck the blow. He admitted that he was playing touch in the playground on the morn- ing of the alleged assault, but he denied that in running to get to a seat he missed his footing and banged his head either against the back of the seat or the wall. He did not fall at all. Witness further denied that while Mr. Howells was out of the class- room during the afternoon he and Evan David had a scuffle for something under the desk, and that in getting up he (Hathaway) struck his head against the desk, nor did he and David strike each other with rulers. The Stipendiary: Did you like him ?—He was all right, sir. I had nothing to dislike. Had he ever occasion to correct you before for any fault, or inattention, or playing in school?—He has told me not to speak, sir. BIRCHED ONCE. Have you e-ver been birched or earned by him?—Once, sir. Evan David, St. Mellon's, the lad who was sitting next to Hathaway, corroborated as to Boeing the blow struck by the defendant. It W3.s a hard blow with the fist, and after receiving it Hathaway blinked his eyes and looked a little pale. Witness said to Hatha- way, "Oh, what a. smack!" Mr. Lewis: Did you on that afternoon hit Hathaway on the head with a ruler? Witness: Jnst a little tap, sir. Questioned by Mr. David, witness said next day he knew there was a fuss about what had occurred, and that night at home he told his mother that he did not see anything of the alleged assault. In saying that he spoke an untruth. Hiere was some larking in the classroom on the afternoon in question, and he believed Hathaway got biehea.d beneath the desk, but he did not see him bump his head in raising it. Mrs. Agnes Hathaway started thaf on the night of the alleged assault her eon was sick and giddy, and on the following day was delirious. She telephoned to her husband, who asked Dr. Prichard to call, and he had been attending the boy ever since. On the Friday evening Mr. Howells called at their house about the "unfortunate affair." She said to him, You admit giving my boy a blow on the top of his head?" Mr. Howells replied, Yes, I am bound to admit that I gave the blow there." Mr. Hathaway did not come home by the train expected, and Mr. Howells before leaving said he wanted to see Mr. Hathaway and settle this matter privately rather than that Mr. Hathaway should øae the school board." She told him she sure that Mr. Hathaway would not, settle the matter privately, and she was sure that that would be a lesson to him. Mr. William Dyche, headmaster of the Higher Grade School, said Mr. Hathaway came to the school on the morning of January 29 and lodged a complaint as to his boy being struck, in consequence of which he spoke to Mr. Howells. The latter said that he had hit the boy Hathaway on the head, but it was a very light blow, and might better be called a tap or a touch. Witness told him that he ought not to have hit the boy at all. The Stipendiary, intervening, said he was prepared to adjudicate on the basis of Howells" reply to Mr. Dyche, with the consent of both pfulies. Mr. Arthur Lewis replied that he was in- structed to call medical evidence. Dr. R. Prichard said he examined the boy on the ensuing Saturday morning. He was unwell, and could hardly stand. The top of the head was tender. He did not think that the injury was caused by banging the head against a seat or wall. There would then have been some swelling and discoloura- tion. The symptoms were consistent with a blow from the hand, and it must have been a tolerably hard blow. There were scores of cases in the asylum caused by no harder blow than one from the hand. It was a very dangerous thing to strike a boy on the head. Mr. David: You don't anticipate any of this long list of casualties that you have been describing ?—I don't. Then, why give us this long lecture?—It is quite possible. The Stipendiary: Am I right in assuming that a very moderate tap on the top of the head might produce the effect yon saw?—Yes. Do you think that the condition of the head might have been caused by a teacher in a moment of irritation tapping a boy like that (bringing his hand down with slight force) and saying Keep quiet ?—I think 80, j sir. Assuming a full-grown man had brought his fist down heavily on the top of a boy's head?—I should have exnected the injury to be very much more serious. Dr. J. J. Buist also agreed with the theory that a moderate tap on the top of a boy's head from a teacher in a moment of irrita- tion would cause the injury from which Hathaway was suffering. This concluded the case for the prosecution. The defendant was then cal id, and denied that he struck the boy at all. When Mr. Dyche spoke to him aa to what Mr. Hathaway had said he (witness) replied that it was "a lot of nonsense." It was untrue that be ever struck the boy a blow or did anything to him of a violent nature. When he saw Mrs. Hathaway at her home he said he "might have tapped the boy on the head in a kindly way." Mr. Arthur Lewis: Is Mr. Dyche an accu- rate and a tJruthful man? Witness: I think so. Did you tell Mr. Dyche that you had given the boy a tap on the head?—I said I might possibly have done so. Did you teU him you gave him a tap?—I did lot. Did you lead Mr. Dyche to suppose that -what you had done was in the way of kind- nees?—I did. Did Mr. Dyche say you ought not to have done it?—Mr. Dyche said it was unjustifiable in any circumstances whatsoever to tooeh a boy on the head. Did Mr. Dyche lead you to suppose that to tap a boy on the head would be unjusti- fiable?—In a way he did. Did Mr. Dyche lead you to suppose that if you had tapped the boy in the way of kind- ness on the head it would be unjustifiable?— Yes, he did. Do you seriously mean that?—I do. You are not quite sure that you did not touch the boy?—I believe I can say I did not. Have yon ever tapped a boy on the head before in the way of kindness?—Yes. Was that Wilfred Jones?—I don't know. The Stipendiary: You cannot ask that, Mr. Lewis. Noticing the witness leaning over the front of the dock, the Stipendiary asked, "Do you suffer from any physical infirmity?" The WitnesB: No. The Stipendiary: Then you might stand up. It is scarcely a becoming attitude to adopt in court. When you are tired you may sit down. The witness assumed a more upright posi- tion and apologised to his worship. In further cross-examination, witness denied the accuracy of the statements made by Mrs. Hathaway, and admitted that he had questioned the members of his class a$to what had happened. Mr. Charles Coles, another assistant matrter, who was in the room until 3.30. said no blow was struck by Mr. Howells or he would have seen it. John Soott, a pupil, said he was in the class- room during the whole of the afternoon, and did not see Mr. Howells strike Hathaway. That morning he saw Hathaway knock his head against the wall in the playground, and during the afternoon Evan David struck him on the head with a black round ruler, and Hathaway also bumped his head against the desk. Cyril Williams and other boys in the clacs deposed that they did not see Mr. Howells strike Batha-way. The Stipendiary said he would make no comments on the evidence, and would merely adjudicate. The defendant would be fined £ 4 and costs ( £ 1), or one month's imprison- ment with hard labour.
