ANGLESEY ASSIZES. WHITE GLOVES FOR THE JUDGE The Assizes for the county of Anglesey were held on Saturday in the Shire Hall, Beaumaris, befoie. Air Justice Bruce. His Lordship was attended by the High Sheriff (Mr Russell Allen), the Under Sheriff (Mr J. S. Laurie), the Sheriff's chaplain, the Rev T. L1. Kyffin, rector of Beaumaris, the Clerk of the Assize (Mr Crompton), and the Associate (Mi- Andrew). The Judge was escorted to the court by the "customary retinue of javelinmen and constables. Colonel J Bulkeley nice was sworn as the foreman of the Grand Jury. Mr Justice Bruce, in charging the Grand Jury, said he was informed tlm there was no prisoner waiting trial on an assize charge. It was a matter of sincere satisfaction to all interested in the wel- fare of the county, and that was the fourth assize town on these assizes to which he had come where there was no criminal cas° of sufficient gravity to be tried at the as- sizes. It was not entirely owing to ab- sence of crime, but owing to the absence ¡ of serious crime, and also owing to the ex- cellent arrangements made in that and other counties in the Principality by whi h assize cases were disposed of shortly befoie the assizes came to be held. In many coun- ties of England judges of assize were kept very often during a great part of the as- sizes in trying sessions cases, which in that county and others in the Principality were disposed of as much as possible by the hold- ing of sessions before the assizes. Be thought that an excellent arrangement, and he wished some of the counties of Eng- land would follow this example. As the Grand Jury were a tribunal to which any subject of the King might resort if there was any complaint, he asked them to re- tire to their room for form's sake to see whether any presentments were made, and if there were none it would be his pleasure and duty to discharge them. The Grand Jury retired accordingly, an returning almost immediately, the Fore- man informed his Lordship there were no presentments to make. They were accord- ihgly discharged. The High Sheriff then said he had the honour, in accordance with ancient cus- tom, to present his Lordship with a pair 1 ( white gloves. The Judge received the gift with the remark that lie was glad to havo that emblem of the purity of the count/, that emblem of the purity of the county, and he hoped the county might long retain its good reputation. A WILL CASE SETTLED. Mr Marshall, K.C., then informed the court that the case in which he, with Mr Ellis Jones Griffith, M.P., appeared, had been settled out of court. The action was brought by the R"v James Jones, senior curate of Holyhead, the executor of the will of the late Miss Ellen Owen, of Penrhynmarchog, Ho.y tx u t^le defendant being Mrs Jane ri-S' Holyhead, who disputed the vahdity of the will. For the defendant v.ere Mr J. Bryn Roberts, M.P., and Mr Montgomery. Mr Marshall stated that the parties li.id come to a settlement, the plaintiff agree o pay the defendant £ 500, inclusive of f costs. He therefore have to a^k JUdgment for the plaintiff. j n -Roberts said the defendant bad agreed to accept these terms, and, al- r 10ugh on their instructions his clients considered they were fully justified 1 ii a the course they did in having the latter looked into, he had had an oppor- of111. going carefully into matters and tli.fGeiing that this was the wisest cour 5" e defendant could adopt. No im- a.lon of any fraudulent conduct or un -de lr^lIence had been made. It was con- th 61 advisable that formal evidence or for f3/ °°^ ^le will should be given, and sol' US PUrPose Mr Rice Rowlands, che thgCl1j^r w^io raade the will, was called to dim i ?X' the document being pr )- cor -^r Doyley Watkins, of the Ban- robate Registry, Mr Rowland stat j 1 that it was signed by the testatrix, and that it was witnessed by himself and th Rev. James Jones. Judgment was then given for the plain- tiff, his Lordship asking, with respect U. the question of costs, whether the execu- tor was a beneficiary. Mr Marshall said that the plaintiff was simply an executor, and asked that the plaintiff's cost should be paid out ot the estate. Mr Montgomery: He gets £100. The Judge: That is making the bene- ficiaries pay the costs. Mr Marshall: We do not ask for an order against the defendant. The Judge: Why should there not be costs against the defendant ? Mr Marshall: She is a poor woman, an ) we have settled terms, and do not ask for them. It was then ordered that the costs as be- tween solicitor and client should be pa:d out of the estate. His Lordship said lie thought the executor was justified in bring- ing an action to establish the will. Mr Marshall added that the plaintiff, being executor with a limited interest omy should be indemnified by the residuary legatee. The High Sheriff afterwards entertaiiie I at the Williams Bulkeley Arms Hotel, the grand jurors, the special jury, the bar, and others, the company being an unusually large one. The High Sheriff's health was proposed by Sir Richard Williams Bulkeley, Loxd Lieutenant, who congratulated him, as his year of office was now drawing to a doss. upon his very successful shrievalty, which had been from the legal point of view an eventful one.. At the last assizes he camn nearer hanging a man than anybody else had done for many years in Anglesey, and as a set-off against that he had that d.<v dutifully presented the Judge with a clea-t pair of giovets (laughter). Therefore, he I had had, at all events, experience of Liie extremes of the morality of Anglesey. He (Sir Richard) was sure they would ad charge him with the duty of conveying to the High Sheriff their best thanks for his kind and courteous entertainment of them all that day (applause). The High Sheriff, in responding,, said he was much gratified by the very kind way in which Sir Richard Bulkeley had pro- posed the toast of his health, and thanked them all most cordially for the very hearty manner in which they had responded. He felt it a very great honour to have serve the King, more especially to have served him during the year of his Coronation, and during a time so full of historical an i dramatic incidents, and to the end of his life he would look back upon his year of office with very great pride and pleasure (applause). Such small duties as he had had to perform he had performed to the best of his ability, and he had done his ut- most to maintain the dignity of the an- cient and honourable office of High Sheriff of Anglesey (applause).

TME GSEV4BLET ROCK MID. GETS PORTRAITS. I. Being popular, he is in great demand in town ana country. From the very start he has been a Radical, and the Radicals in Lleyn look upon him to-day as one of their foremost leaders. The Tithe War saw him in the front of the fight, and he kept open house to the many friends who came to help on that memorable occasion. He is considered an expert in a branch of I his profession. Generally he gives one the impression that he is a quiet man who can never be roused to enthusiasm. But, at election times, he attends public meet- ings and makes a fiery onslaught on Tory- ism. Though a C.M. he takes a line of his own sometimes. He acts upon what he sees and understands, and is a de- nominationalist afterwards. The Liberals of Pwllheli reckon upon him for a great deal of support, and they get it ungrudg- i ingly. He has received the highest hon- ours the Corporation can give him, and will no doubt receive them again.

COMBINATION. RHYL v. BANGOR. Played at Rhyl on Saturday, on a ground that was a veritable quagmire after the re- cent rains. Rhyl played four reserves. Rhyl kicked off, Jenkins narrowly escaping to score with a swift shot. The same player again shot strongly, the Bangor custodian bringing off a smart saving. Rhyl continued to pass, and a foul close in goal gave them an opening, but the ball was eventually cleared. Bangor now at- tacked for the first time, and were award .d a free kick or a foul throw, the ball going behind. From the free kick H. P. Roberts fastened on the ball and made a fine spring. but his final effort went a trifle wide. Rar- gor attacked and forced a corner, whijh was beautifully placed, Simon fisting out Rhyl now showed up, and Roberts test;) I Hotchkiss with a beauty which the cUstod ian luckily cleared. A moment later ho had to concede a corner, the Rhyl for wards missing a glorious opportunity of scoring. H. P. Roberts was once more pro- minent with a beautiful shot, which Hotch- kiss cleverly saved. Rhyl were having al' the play, but were most unfortunate in front of the goal from the only run up the had made thus far. Dick Owen openyd the score for Bangor. Jenkins was badly fouled when in a good position, and the ea- suing free kick was sent behind. Rhyl con tinued to have the best of the argument, but had the most excellent luck in front of goal, whilst Hotchkiss, the Bangor cus todian, performed marvellously. Another run up by Bangor ended in a second point for the visitors, the home custodian making a most fast attempt at clearance from a pass by Jenkins. Roberts immediately afterwards scored for Rhyl. Jenkins add 3d a second after a long spell of pressure. Half-time Bangor, 2 goals Rhyl, 2 goats. Final: Rhyl, 3 goals; Bangor, 3 goals. <•>#<■>

FOOTBALL NOTES. To draw with Rhyl on their own ground is a creditable performance, and Bangor are to be complimented upon extracting a Combination point from so clever an or- ganisation. The game was vigorously con- tested, and the score (3—3) gives an ac- curate idea cf the general run of matters About eighteen minutes after the kick-off, Dick Owen made one of his character is rushes, and succeeded in passing the Rhy: full backs. The Rhyl custodian left his, charge tc meet Owen, but he returned to pick the ball out of the net, into which it was sent with lightning force. Francis Bogue, a member of the defunct Holyhead team, next did some capital work for Bar- gor, and after baffling the backs sent :n n shot which the Rhyl custodian wisely re- frained from attempting to stop. Welch was responsible for Bangor's third point, secured a minute from time-up. For Ban- gor Hotchkiss in goal was remarkably suc- cessful, stopping shots which would have beaten players who regularly figure n goal. At the outset R. Roberts and E. Edwards were shaky, but as the game ad- vanced they became reliable, and In (he second half kicked sturdily. It was a mis- kick by Bob Roberts that led to Rhyl's third goal. The halves were a serviceable trio, Hwfa Williams leading the way, an 1 he shadowed Jenkins, the Welsh Inter- national, throughout the game. The for- wards were scarcely brilliant, and they have been seen to much better advantage at Rhyl. Pugh was more dangerous, near goal than his confreres, sending in several good shots. Francis Bogue made a splen- did debut, and no doubt he will prove P valuable unit in the Bangor attack. Welcn and Owen played to their usual standard, but R. Jones was decidedly "off colour." Bangor Reserve easily accounted for the Rhyl Reserve in the fourth round of the Welsh Amateur Cup. The proceedings were of a lively character, and even when Bangor had obtained a commanding lead they did not relinquish their aggressive tac- tics. The visitors, several of whom could scarcely lay claim to being juniors, op med is sprightly fashion, and they fairly rushci the Bangor defence, which became very erratic, and the full backs kicked anybody or anything but the ball. It was an errw- on the part of W. Evans that led to f be downfall of the Bangor goal, but the home players retaliated strongly, and before long Moran placed matters on a level footing. The visitors again showed decent form, and notched the second point. From that point onwards the home lot did most of the pressing, particularly in the secon: half, when the Rhyl men appeared fagge, having obviously started in too vigorous a manner. The strongest department in the Bangor team was the forward linCj to whom the splendid victory was, in a large measure, due. There was a refreshing absence of selfishness aikkl irritating finessing, and each member of the line made it his busi- ness to have a shot at the Rhyl goal. There was one exceptionally pretty nio.-e. meut in the second half, and it is doubtful whether it could be equalled by the senior forwards for accurate timing and judgment In the centre forward position P. Xvenyon kept his wing men going by means oi judicious passes. Moran and Hatrey ;.()t through a considerable amount of work, their runs and centres always boding dan- ger to the opposition. Burns and Evan? made a capital show, and a. good deal of praise is due to the former for converting the two penalty kicks. There was one verv agreeable feature in the forward line, and that was that the inside wing men kepc closer to the centre forward than to tilL outside players, the advantage of this ar rangemeni being at once apparent. The halves gave a very ordinary display. They were continually putting their opponents in possession when clearing their lines, thereby doing more harm than good. It is J not sufficient to kick the ball away in an ) aimless manner; they should endeavour to put their own men in possession. When hard pressed the full backs were erratic;, W. Evans particularly so. In goal no fault could be found with D. James Williams, as he was badly supported when the two shots went past him. I At the meeting of the North Wales Coast Association last week, Ike Williams, Rhyl Athletic, and Jack Rees, Carnarvon' were suspended until April, 1904, for refusing to leave the field when requested by the referee. Downs, of C'olwyn Bay, was sus- pended for a month, a complaint beim/ made by a referee. The draw for the North Wales Semor Cup has resulted as follows: -Division I: Bangor v. Carnarvon; referee, Sergearr Hunt, to be played April 11th at Bangor. Portmadoc, a bye. Division II. Rhyl v. Rhyl Athletic; referee, Mr Her see, to be played Thursday, February 12th. Llan- rwst, a bye. j The 'Varsity Reserve did a smart.. hing I to draw with their Seniors. Suoh a result scarcely reflects credit on the first team, which has been performing none too W.-J1 this season. The North v. South Wales match will br. played on Monday, February 2nd, at Aber- dare. The following has been selected tor the North: — R. 0., Evans (Wrexham) goal; D. Davies (Wrexham) and H. B'ow (Wrexham), full backs; G. Richards (Os westry), Robert Morris (Chirk), and T. Davies (Druids), half backs; FV C. Kelly I (Druids), Rev. T. Jenkins -(Rhyl), W. Lot Jones (Druids),Ephraim Williams (Druids), and J. Owens (Wrexham), forwards.—Re- serves: J. Trace j Morgan (Druids), goal; T. Povey (Chirk) and J. Upton, \±Jruids), full backs; J. Arridge (Bangor), Lloyd Da- vies (Druids), and Ll, Davies (Wrexham), half backs M. Matthews (Rhyl), E.

Portmadoc still maintain their proud position on the top of the League table On Saturday they had Penmaenmawr deal with, and they succeeded in defeating the quarrymen by six goals to nil. Tb, Reserves went to Aberystwyth, and wz-r., only defeated by two goals to nil. Llanberis made no mistake with Cwmyglo on Saturday. They had a strong team, while Cwmyglo were without their clever goalkeeper, who was indisposed. The first half was very evenly contested, but in the second the Llanberis contingent showed their superiority. Carnarvon have again been unfortunate. The decision of the Coast League Com- mittee re the Llanberis v. Carnarvon match, which was abandoned twenty minutes before time, has gone against them. The score at Llanberis was one goal each, and I am told that the quarrymen do not relish the two points awarded to them by the League; they would sooner replay the game, 'ihe quarrymen are good sports- men, and they want to win fairly.

SKIPPER SAVED. NARROW ESCAi OF LOWESTOFT CREW. The thrilliiii escape of Captain Powley and his crew from a sinking ship ÎQ one of rlios- stories which excite little raor- than local atten tion. Yet, read- ing between tin lines of the brave skippers sailorlike words (tersely reported in the "Lowes- n 7 j toft Weeklv Captain Powiey, o, one re_ lost yacht. cognises a storv of heroism and pathos. "I was caught n the gale," said he with seamanly brevity, I "between Dover aud Ramsgate. The ship sprang a leak, and I stood at the tiller for I six hours, expecting to go down. A steamer hove round, but went on without speaking us. We had lost the dmghev and made up our minds that we shou'd have to sink with the yacht, when a Dutch galley saw our plight, and took us on board. Our yacht sank ten minutes after I had been standing all those hours 'n the cold and wet, without food or drink, and the exposure made me ill. This was wo years ago. I suffered greatly since, in my home at Carlton Colville, near Lowestoit, and until I began to take Dr. Williams pink pills for pale people could obtain no relief. "I had splitting headaches, my eyesignt I grew dim, and I had severe pain in the pit of my stomach, and in my limbs. Oae I day I read of Dr. Williams' pink pills, and I bought a box at a Lowestoft chemist s. In less than twenty-four hours I noticed an improvement. By the time I had taken a box of the pills my eyesight cleared, and the pains in my limbs and stomach ceased. Now if I feel out of sorts a little at any time, I fly to the pills, and soon am all right again. And I am not a youth I am seventy." "And are you all right now?" asked the reporter. "As right to-day as ever I was in my life." The gallant captain, who is now living at 4, Colville Villas, Carlton Colville, Suffolk, also gave the reporter particulars of the case of a young woman, the daugh- ter-in-law of one of his friends, who had been greatly benefited by the same oTs upon his recommendation. A similar case will be found on another page of this paper. And indeed, considering their great tonic power, and the numerous cases of rheu- matism, kidney disease and consumption they have cured, it is no wonder that they did so. "I make them known to every- body," said he, "and there are not maiy places between here and Cowes where I am not known."

ATTACK ON A COUNTY COURT BAELRFF. At the Bangor Police Court on Tuesday, David Roberts and Hugh Roberts, Cilfoden street, Betliesda, were charged with assault- ing Hugh Griffith, a bailiff of the Bangor County Court. Mr D. G. Davies defended, and Mr Thornton Jones, who prosecuted, stated that summons was taken under the County Court Act, 1838. On January 17th, Hugh Griffith, the prosecutor, went to Betliesda to serve a judgment summons upon the defendant Hugh Roberts, and after reaching his address in Cilfoden street he knocked at the door, and Hugh Roberts opened. The-bailiff did not know him; and he, therefore, asked him if Hugh Roberts was in. He denied that he was Hugh { Roberts, saying that he was Thomas Roberts. In the house was David Roberts, the father, and he said to the bailiff, "What the d- do you want here all the time. If you don't go out I shall kill you," at the same time tak- ing down a cleaver, with which lie furiously attacked the bailiff. The facts more than justified the charge of ordinary assault. Mr Thornton Jones pointed out. that this was the fourth time during the last twelve months that County Court officials had been brought into court to vindicate their offices, and lie hoped that the Bench would extend protec- tion to them so that they could discharge their duties fearlessly.—Hugh Griffith, County Court bailiff, corroborated the foregoing state- menL-Sergeant Owen stated that the face of the previous witness was covered with blood, which issued from several cuts. The old man (David Roberts) informed him that the bailiff came into his house without per- mission that he would not go out; that lie came in drunk to annoy them; and that he used the hatchet to drive him out. He also stated that the money due had been paid into court.—Mr Thornton Jones Is there any ground for the suggestion that Griffiths was drunk ? — Sergeant Owen He was perfectly sober at the time.—Mr D. G. Davies stated that Hugh Roberts pleaded guilty, but with regard to the old man David Roberts, who was 74 years of age, he (Mr Davies) conscientiously believed that lie was out of his mind at times. From the evidence no other conclusion could he arrived at, and he must have been out of his mind when the offence was committed.. He, therefore, asked that the case against him should be dis- missed. because he could not plead.—Evidence was tendered by David Roberts's wife as to hiss illness since the visit paid by the bailiff. —The Chairman stated that the cose agsinst David Roberts would be adjourned sine dir, as he was not in a position to plead. Hugh Roberts was fruilty of a serious offence, and j he would be fined L2 and costs, L2 9s 6d in all.
