I told him that I did not believe him , and that I should arrest him for setting fire to the rick . After cautioning him , Williams said : " You have got the wrong man . I would not do Mr. Protheroe any harm . If you will let me go , I will go home and say no more about it . " I told him I should take him to Ross , and he then resisted apprehension . When I search- ed him I found a box of matches in his pos- session , also a small piece of candle , and . several dead matches in his waistcoat pocket . In his further evidence the constable said he asked prisoner if he knew whether his mother or his brother knew anything about the fire , and Williams replied : " No , they don't know anything . They don't know I am here . " Williams also said : " I do not smoke . I have been burning cutch this morning . " Continuing , the constable cor- roborated the evidence of Supt .

Long - standing discontent amongst the public water fishermen who do business in the salmon fisheries of the river Severn has at length come to a head , and the Board of Conservators propose holding an enquiry into the subject matter of the dispute . It affects the lave - net men and cowerers gener- ally , but particularly those who fish as be- tween Awre and Lydney ; and they are a numerons body . It is understood that the malcontents would be satisfied if the Board of Conservators placed a water bailiff at the Noose , at Awre , whose special duty would be to keep watch there during the weekly close He is not a man who would travel rapidly in the ordinary way P - Not in the ordinary He is not a man you would call in robust Do you know anything about his duties at home or that he attended to the horses ? -time . health P - No , sir , I should say not .

A fine of 5s . in each case and 95. costs was imposed . TRESPASSING ON THE RAILWAY . Emma Lane , of Welsh Bicknor , was charg- ed with trespassing on the railway at Welsh Bicknor on May 10th last . Mr. E. , A. Capel , solicitor , Hereford , ap- peared to prosecute on behalf of the Great Western Railway Company . He pointed out the section of the Act under which the defen- dant was charged , and pointed out that the spot at which the defendant was trespassing was only ninety yards from the mouth of the tunnel , and therefore was very danger- ous . There was also a ferry a little distance away , and therefore there was no excuse for trespassing on the line . He did not wish to press for a heavy penalty , but the company wished to put a stop to this practice . Henry Raymond , an employe of the Great Western Railway Co. , said he was stationed on the railway at this bridge just outside the tunnel at Welsh Bicknor , when he saw the defendant get on to the line and commence to go across the bridge . He asked her her name and address , and he also called her at- tention to the notice board by the bridge . The woman had a little boy with her aged She had not been cautioned Defendant said she was sorry for what happened , and would see that it did not The Chairman said a conviction would be recorded against her , but she would only have to pay the costs which came to 8s .

Jessie Dunford . of Welsh Bicknor , was also charged with a like offence , which was committed on May 15th . Defendant pleaded guilty . Mr. Capel said that the defendant in this case had been previously cautioned in 1910 .. Henry Raymond again proved the facts , and the Chaiman said defendant would be dealt with the same as the last , and pay 88 . costs , with a conviction and a caution not to repeat the offence in the future .

Mr. Evans : Then you do not know that he actually sees after the horses last thing at night ? -I understood the other brother look- ed after the horses . Would you be surprised if he looked after the horses and cattle ? -I should not be sur- prised . ney . Mr. Thomas Wheatley , of Leanesbrook , presided over a considérable gathering of fisherman , who passed a resolution calling on the conservators to afford more protection of their interests at Awre . As showing that the Board has at last awakened to the ex- tent and importance of the controversy , a circular prepared by Mr. John Stallard ( clerk to the Board ) has been sent out stating that the executive committee had considered correspondence received from Mr. John Withers and Mr. F. W. Cadogan , as well as reports from the water bailiffs respecting salmon during the weekly close season , and that it was decided that the Chairman ( Mr. Willis Bund ) and Vice - Chairman ( Captain Frank Colchester Wemyss ) , with Mr. R. J. Kerr , J.P. ( Newnham ) and Mr. William Jones , J.P. Lydney ) , would hold an enquiry With regard to the statement about his at the Red Heart , at Awre , on the 30th having gone home to bed , did you under - inst . , with the view to making a report to stand him properly P - Yes .

Do you know that Williams has a way of wandering about the country ? -I do , and especially so lately . When you met him on the road was he a considerable way from his own home then ? Yes , he was nearly two miles away from his home . he said he was in bed . That was why I asked him if his mother and brother knew that he had got up . Were there a number of people at the fire ? There were only about nine when I left at 1.25 . I suppose people kept coming and going ? There were very few people about there the whole time , and if was practically the same people . A WARNING TO SHOPKEEPERS AND THE PUBLIO . FATHER , SON , AND UNCLE . Albert Warren and Charles Warren , father and son , of Aston Ingham , were charged with unlawfull assaulting and beating John Warren . a brother to the first defendant at Aston Ingham on June 8th . There was a cross - summons in which John Warren was charged with assaulting Albert and Charles Warren at the same time and place . The case against the first two defendants was heard first . John Warren said that on the day in question he went home with his horse and cart . When he got to his own gate , he went round to the horses's head , where- upon Albert Warren , his brother , came up and knocked him into the ditch . He got up , but his brother followed him down the road . He struck Albert back in self - defence . The King received a tremendous reception from the enormous crowd as he rode on to the parade ground at the head of his brilliant cavalcade of officers , which included Prince of Albert of Schleswig - Holstein , the Duke Teck , Lord Roberts , Lord Methuen , the mem- bers of the Army Council , the King's A.D.C. , and a number of foreign military attachés .
