I MARCHED TO PRISON BY FIVE POLICE- MEN.—At Rhyl on Friday four Liverpool men, named Peter Jones, Henry Parry, John Hagan, and Louis Williams, were charged' with being -drunk and disorderly and with smashing a dozen bottles, at the back of the Victoria Hotel, from which premises they had been ordered off by Mr. Heatheote, the proprietor.

LEAVING WITHOUT NOTICE.—At Rhyl County Court, on Friday, Taliesin Jones was sued by Messrs F. & J. Heathcote, coach pro- prietors, who claimed £ i damage,s from him for leaving their employ without notice. Mr. F. J. Gamlin wa.s for plaintiffs, Mr. J. Roberts-Jones defending. Plaintiffs stated that defendant, a conductor on one of their coaches, got to the yard from Llanfairtalhaiarn drive at a quarter to six on the evening of Saturday, July 14th. The yard is not large, and as the following day would be busy defendant and another conductor were asked to work theirs that night. Defendant 1"e. fused, and -said he would do it the next morn- ing. He left the yard and did not return, and it was not until the following Tuesday that his coach had a conductor. Defendant said it was a quarter to seven when he got into the yard, and he had had' no dinner. He told'. plaintiff he had his best clothes on, and would wash the coach next morning, whereupon plaintiff cursed him and ordered him out. He was afraid of re- turning to his work because of plaintiff's vio- lence. A driver named Hollinsworth, who bore out defendant's account of what happened, said he also left without notice. If he were being dismissed he would expect a week's notice, but, he added, he knew he would not get it. His Honour, giving judgment for the plaintiffs for the amount claimed, said it was reasonable un- der! the circumstances for plaintiffs to ask defend- ant to wash the coach, and he could not accept defendant's story of what happened.
