However, those I who were out had a clear conscience, beetuuse 1 they refused to. go to' the quarry for the reason that they believed in what was only fair and just. A clear conscience was better for tllnam thlan anything.

Eifl Jones: Whatsball we gain in discussing Mr Ivor Parry's motion? Mr A. Ivor Parry: How can you understand it before I make my proposal ? As it is on ftie agendla, I intend proceeding with it. Mr Anthony and the Clerk said that it was understood in the Finance Committee tha. Mr E. Jones's notice was taken as haivrtg been given, but that he was pressed to reconsider the matter and to continue in office until March. Mr Paary desired to proceed. Mr Anthony regretted that the matter should be gone into as that would make the complaint made by the accountant still worse. At this juncture the Mayor was compelled to leave, amd the chair was taken by Mr Anthony. Mr A. Ivor Parry proceeded) with his motion and including the accountant in the notice. This did not reflect in any way upon the account- ant, but was moved so as to enable them to com- mence upon their new method of keeping the accounts, etc. It was quite unreasonable for their accounttant to live out sidle the borough. With his scheme Mr Jones could return to the town if be were elected to the full responsibility and under a new arrangement, which would! be far better and more successful.

Eifl Jones What shall we gain by this I after we have passed differently this morning, a.nd asked Mr Jones to continue in offioe until March ? I Mr Anthony thought that it would make the position more painful in its relation with the accountant, who fairly complained already of the in/justice dome him in bringing the matter forward before giving sufficient explanation. Mr Anthony referred to the unhappy report about him, and Mr A. Ivor Parry which appeared in papers he memtiomecL It could be gathered1 from the report that he and Mr Parry were going to fight with each other (laughter). The Cleric asked, Mr E. Jones's opinion, and whether he had an objection to send his formal resignation from a. given date ? Mr Jones: Not at all, or in five minutes if you like. I sitated) my caae at the meeting of the Finance Committee, and I expected you to be- lieve this as if it. were in writing (hear, hear). This was agreed to. and Mr A. Ivor Parry said he was satisfied) without further pressing his motion, and the original motion was adopted. THE LIBERAL CLUB. In accordance with the application of Mr T. J. Houghton Davies it was agreed that the plans of the alterations at the old hall would be sub- mitted to the Town Council at their meeting on 2nd of JanuaTV. Mr W. Eifl Jones and Mr Richard Jones said that they were in favour. THE ACCOUNTS AGAIN. Mr S. Lloyd, as a continuation of his remarks on the town accounts and the last precept, called the attention of the Council to the alleged de- ficiency in the abstract of account, and it was only fair for them to moot; the situation by levy- ing a sufficient rate. After detailing the matter, he proposed that Is 3d per £ be levied as a supplemental rate. The Chairman sairil he believed that Mr Lloyd brought his motion forward with the best motives, but they should obtain all the figures, and that for more than one year. They also must take into consideration the prospects of I thir. year. Mr Anthony asked the clerk to give some figures with regard to the matter. The clcrk did so, and said that according to the estimate it ill2al't. a. L"'ancc as compared with J last year of £400, with simitar expenses en: education.

Mr McMillan advised him to go to bed to sleep it off, and defendant again said that he would not work. Mr McMillan then told him ¡ to go ashore, and that he would find someone in his stead. McMillan then went to bed. About 20 minutes afterwards he was awakened by hearing someone in the room. He saw Day there. He asked him what he wanted, and Day challenged him to fight. McMillan ordered him out of the room, but Day leant over the bed where Mr McMillan was lying, and clntched him by the throat and attempted to strangle him. Mr McMillan called out for assistance, and Mr H. 0, Roberts, the chief engineer, came there and got the defendant off after a struggle. An inquiry, in accordance with the Merchant Shipping Act, was held by Captain Nash on the 22nd November, and an entry of the same was made in the log book. Mr Fenna commenced to read the entry, when Mr R. R. Williams (the clerk) said that Me Fenna could not read the whole of the evidence given at the inquiry, but could put the log book in.—Mr Fenna submitted that he had a perfect right to do so.—After some farther discussion, Mr Williams said that it did not state in the Act that the entry should be read out, and that Mr Fenna should prove the evidence given at the inquiry at the Court by means of witnesses.—Mr Fenna then read the answer of the defendant to the evidence given at the inquiry, which was I am sorry." —Evidence bearing out Mr Fenna's statement was then given by Mr McMillan and Mr H. O. Roberts, chief engineer.—Captain Nask pro- duced the log book containing the entry of the inquiry, and said that he read it over clearly and distinctly to the defendant, who said I am sorry."—Defendant said that he did not re- member having assaulted Mr McMillan, as he was drunk at the time.—The Bench sentenced him to 12 weeks' imprisonment with hard labour. THE PILOTAGE CASE.—The case of Hugh Owen, pilot, against Captain W. H. Collins, of the steam tug Conqueror," for I having acted as pilot although not qualified, which had been adjourned from the last Oourt, I was again heard.—Mr R. E. Pritchard appeared for the complainant and said that the question had been raised at the last Court as to whether pilotage was compulsory at Holyhead, and in support of his case he read section 622 of the Act, which stated that pilotage was compulsory, subject to any alterations to be made by the Trinity House, within the London distiiot and the Trinity House outport district. Holyhead was such an outport district, and therefore pilotage was oompulsory. The evidence given by Hugh Owen, which has already appeared in these columns, was read over to him.—Cor- roborative. evidence was given by Thomas Thomas and William Owen, certificated pilots. —A fine ofJES and costs was imposed. PERMITTING DRUNKENNESS.—Mr O. R. Parry, of the Lord Nelson Inn, was charged by the police with having served a drunken person, and also with permitting drunkenness. — Mr T. R. Evans appeared for the police, and Mr R. E. Pritchard defended.—The main facts of the case have already been reported in con- nection with the case against the man Benjamin Jones for drunkenness at the previous Court.— For the defence, Mr R. E. Pritohard submitted that no case had been made out, and that there was no proof that the man had been served with drink except his own statement.—Evi- dence for the defence was given by Mrs Parry, who said that her husband being ill in bed at the time, she had charge of the bar, and that she did not know he was in the house until ahe proceeded to clear the honae previous to closing. —Evidenoe in support of Mrs Parry was given by Hugh Owen and H. Morris.—The Bench imposed a fine of £1 and costs, and ordered the license to be endo sed. ALLEGED ASSAULT.—Mrs Martha Ellen Williams, for whom Mr S. R. Dew appeared, summoned her husband, William Williams, of Penhenllys, Aberffraw, for alleged assault.—Mr Huw Rowland, Bangor, defended.—The case was adjourned for a month.

AFFAIRS AT BETHE8DA. THE THIRD SAD CHRISTMAS. RAPID DEPOPULATION. Though miope tbae two jelars have passed since the Ptenrhyn strike ooimmeinjdad, there seems to-day the same grain dsetlenninatiorii to fight, to the bitter end as was evident att the Christmas meetSligK of 1900, n'otwith'Stainiding the terrible srufferintg and distress felit by every section of tihe comnauimty. To a casual observer there dloes not seem to be thaifc great poverty and dimressOlOO would expect to stare you in the face after a. period of two years enforced' idleness. The little chjIML iren runiing about the street seean. to be fairly dad and shod tbewoUnoo one meets s-eem de- pressed perhaps, but the signs of estreane poverty are wantjng, thiougih the pinched face of a little urchin here and there tells its tale. Our re- preteeinitiativ'e, whio giptetetteJily .vfeied iBetihssda this week, sought to discover the reason for thiis; and! it was exjpiliained to him thia.t kind and truly Ghrisitlian folk, workingmen and gienltry alike from all parts of England and Wdes have sent bales ^iLmosb inmuawetraible of old and actor clothiiing and boiots to the sufferers. These were sent to the Rev W- W. Hoyd, of Brynteg, who distributed them on behalf of the Relief Com- mittee to those most- in need. Some rooms in OBrynteig still have this appearance of well- feitocked' warehouses, and there is no need to fear •suffering from want- of proper clothing thiils wiin. Iter a.t any rate. It would be difficult to esti- mate the gOod work done in this direction, by Mr Lloyd, who has thrown himself entirely into relief work. Who knows but that this case and fbresiglrt to avoid the sufferings of the children and the women has enabled the men to struggle so long and so diet^rmiTt>edily. The financial aid ha.s been grebe; the relief in kind as it were has been equally as valuable. Meanwhile, let us glance for a moment at affairs as they stand. Where are the men? At the time of the strike, there were 2800 accounted for. Where are they? It has been publicly stated over and1 over again that there I are 1200 at the quarry. This on the face of it is ridiculous; and our representative om making inquiries was told "There cannot be more than 700 at the out- side. Now, of the 2800 who oame out, there are 1300 at work in English towns in South. Wales, and in Carnarvonshire quarries, wfhio can be ac- counted for. There are 700 at home idle, some of them youmg men too lazy to go from home to find work, who preifer to receive 10s a week Strike pay from the Union tham go away even when work has been foutnd for them. Banit- dreiniog Quarry employs 100 men, and it is estimated that about 100 have died. This aaakqs ta total of 2200, and leaives of the strikers 600 to be accounted for. When the quarry was re- opened, 550 men returned, but these included 300 did IDemi and roaidlmen. Sinice then a few quarrymen have oome .to the quarry from Pan- ¡ mucihnio araT Corwien, but there are others who have left. I With regiaid to the 700 who are at hiome hang- i ling toO the purse mrilngs of the Quarrymen's I •Uwion, Jt is full tame that they should cletanly I fumdenatiamd position. AeoofrffitMg m Cteft rules of the Quarryanem's Unri.on, they are err- Itijtled to tbew stiiie pajy of 10s a week, WJbiM. mit of work. But tlhen work has been found' I and offered eilsewheretO many of these 700— young feHows in thie prime of youth rangtiug in yeara from 18 to 21. This is the only element of danger. They eat the food and receive the money wfhlich ouight to go to the old and infirm strikers whose years will mot allow them to traimtp the country in search of empLoymenit. These young fellows have no excuse but or love of pleasure and ease for mraaimiangi at fhtome. They axe thle greati drain upon: tihe Union Funds; and it would be well fior the Un-' ion to seriously consider how to deal with them. Friendly advice has failed, even thiouigih givien by such an expert as Mr W. H. Williams, who I has over and over aigtoin pointed out that here really lay the weakness of the men's oa-use. It w:as a plelasaMt gigiht to see the return of the wwrkirng strikers on Tuesday evening. There were fully 200 of them, .strong, burly, healthy looking and determdnied set of men, many of whtom had already- found the blue soars go peculiar to the colliers. These (are the men Obat soldiers are sent for and extra. police imptanted to ketep them in order. These a.re the vety best men who ever worked in the Penafcyn, Quarry in its most prosperous times, and whom tihe owner would probably gladly receive bac& if they bent the knee. It was a. pathetic sight too. Many wives and mothers who had not seen their dear ones for many a day wept tears of joy as they stepped upon the platform. Little cMldren clung to them calling "Dada," oodl wistfully looking at the brown paper parcels they earned wondering witait kind) otf Christmas! 'toy i/t contains. In order to prevent these mien doing aniisohief, an extra posse of police has beetni drafted to Retthesda by authorities who seem to fear their own Shadows. This action is severely condemned by the 1Il- habitants of Bethesda, who decfere that the presence of extra and strange police in too loc- ality ssi much more likely to incite disturbances tham) the presence of the mem frjpn the collieries. The choirs have returned from their tours-— three of them. They were enthnisiastically received wherever fcbey went. The tour of the No. 2 choir in Scotland seemed like a. trium- phal march. Mr E. W. Lloyd, in the course of at conversation) with our representative, stated' I that their total takings during the three months exceeded JB1500 .of which a. surni of £300 wa.s taken in collections at the various concerts— spontaneously and voluntary gifts—after hie had' explained to the audience the cause of the men. This choir worked its way from Stalybridge througlh Kilmarnock, Glasgow, FuUciTm, and1 Dundee to the north. At Glasgow the taking's amounted to £90; at Govto, £60; whilst at Falkirk a sum of £65 was cleared after paying aN expenses. At Dundee hundred's failed to get an entrance and an overflow concert was given, with an invitation for la,not.ber date which haidi to be declined) owing to the arrangements made. Too choir remaimedl four days at Aberdeen, and had crowded houses each day. After the visit to Dumfermiline the Trades Unions of that town •senlb a donation of £200 to the Quarrymen's Union, thus showing that the choirs did much good outside lending money to the relief fundi. Great kindness was shown to the men wherever they went, and in many instances free lodgings hladl beeni proviidied1 for them. The choir took Lancashire on their way back working, of course, _4. 'in .stages to avoid wasting too much money on J railway travelling. :Employers of labour and I mayors often presided ait the: concerts; and these gentlemen were surprised that any class or men should have worked on such tterms as prevailed dm the Perirbyn, Quarry. The Mayor of Darwen, 'a large empltoyer of labour, laughed at the idea that the men should, be paid monthly. His mien, he said, 'expected their wages every week, and often "subs" besides. All Lancashire was enthusiastic and many theatres were lent free to the choirs to sacred concerts on Sunday nights, tihe manajgers assisting iwalrinig them, a (success. In its next- tour, this choir wiN take Birmingham and the midlands. They have already sufficient applications to keep them going for two or three years1 if necessary. The Ladies' Choir took Lincolnshire and the Fen' District, and Went thence to London, start- ing at Peterborough and working their way to SpaldiiiUg, Boston, and Chesterfield. 1.ey too, succeeded remarkably well. Owing! 'to the absence from home of the treasurer, our repre- sentative failed to get the exact figures. A glance at the town of Bethesdla shows the havoc caused! on: all hands. Empty houses are ■to be seen on every hand, and many empty shops. So. far, the rating authorities have not felt the pinchl; but they expect to do so at. the end of the year. Lord Penrhyn has erected: and! is erecting miany houses at Tre'garth and other portiolnsi of his estate, to which hist workman flock, thusi banding themselves together and forming- a kind of Ulster in Bethesda. Very few of the meDi working in the quarry now re- side at Bethesda. They have colonised Tre- gajrth. The houses .they vacated, if they were good houses, have been taken: up by the families of the strikers whlo dwelt in poorer tenements, with the result that many a 'score of the poorer houses are now empty. Then; there are malny families who left altogether- They will be followed by many others at the beginning of the year, for mary of the leaders: who are not members of the Strike Committee have taken for themselves ihousesjn South Walesi and else- where, so t1 at tl»e next six months will see a; still .greater depopulation of the district. It is a remarkable fact that there have been but few bankrupties in the district. Perhaps this is dule to the fact that the creditors of tradesmen have allowed them greater latitude than usual. Another fact which shows the signs of the times is the phenomenal decrease in the number of marriages. Whereas during the year before the strike, 77 young couples entered1 the bonds of holy matrimony, Isince the strike the averaige is under 50 per annum, and those who married were mostly young1 people who left immediately for other districts. This Christmas no provision has been made for a big dinner to the inhabitants, but a sum of £250, the gift of the "Daily News," will be distributed n, addition to the usual relief.
