PRESENTATION TO MRS. HUGH. S, GOUGH. JERSEY LADS' GRATITUDE. From the following report, culled from the "JeTBey Evening News," it will be seen that diee- |iite tho numeroui social and other diuUes cr- tailed upon her aa the wife of the Lieut.-GJovrnor of Jersey, Mrs o.ough. df Caerhun, Taly- dafn. continues to exorcise tlio same practical in- terest in tiho tt.chnical training of youth on the inland as at her Welsh home, and her work is obviously appreciated. Lost evening1, proceeds vhe report, Mrs i1 ugh S. Cough paid a visit to the wood: carving' class, of which she >vas founder, at the studio,, No. 54, Kiny-.street, end was recei-ved by Miss Ooxhead and the pupils, both seniors and juniors* The popularity of ;lie latter section was sthown by ili" 30 or so members present. MT-s Gough was ae- companiod by His Excellency the Li-3 it. Governor while among' other visitors were 5; ;r W. H. Venables Vernon, Kt. (Bailiff), Jurat P. A. Aubin. Capt. C. M. Biandy (A.D.C.), Capt. A. D. M. Browne (Adjutant King's Own), Mrs C. M. BJandy, Miss Dus-tan, Secretary of the Schoo! of Woodcarving-. oto. Miss Cox'head, in extending a welcome to the distinguished visitors, expressed tho heartfelt thanks of the members of the class to Mrs Hugh S. Gough for her practical interest in the class ajid for her energy in seeking support for this branch of the arts and crafts. They gTeatly re- gretted that by tlle coming dopa-rture of His Excellency from the Island, at the close of t.he term of office, tha.t they would lo' ze their kind patroness and friend, but the members of the obtEiS had felt that tliey could not let the oppor- tunity pass without Elbowing to Mrs Gough their appreciation of the great, encouragement and assistance site had given, and they had asked her to be present that eveming, so that the lada mnght ask her acceptance of a oasket of their own carving. S. Renouf tlien 6icppod forward, and on be- half of his comrades, in a neat and well- delivered spoedli, asked Mrs Gough's acceptance of a h an diomely-carved casket as a memento of her connection with the class. Mra Gough, in reply, said that the hand: some box would find a place of honour in her Welsh home, and would servo to remind her of lor happy connection with tlhe Island and with the class. They were very rnuoh indebted to Miss Cox head. WLOK-.> entJiusiasm in the cause had done muoh toward attaining the success that tlie class had hitherto adliieved. Miss Coxhead had rcccdvoct mncih assistance from Mcaars T. Addcrson, T. F. Mufholland, and F. Whistler, who had shown great interest in the class. She was very much gratified by the fact that, the Assembly of the Governor, Bailiff, and Jurats had made a gmant. of B60 for the upkeep of the school, and she trusted that those who came after. heT and the General would continue to take an interest m the class and in the arts and crafty generally. Tho four liCda, S Renouf, E. Alexandre, J. Husband and T. Crarnier, by whom the casket had boon carved were tiien presented to Mrs Gough. I i is Excellency also remarked on tlie great pro- gress wthidh had been made by the me-i'.beira of the class sinoo its inception, and lie alluded to the great, possibilities that a tcohnica 1 training opened up to a lad. lie truisted that they would oon- tinue to improve in the art that they hoo taken Up, while he also alluded to tho gcsnerotis action of 1.100 Arocrnhly of the Governor, Bailiff and Jurats in making a grant to tihe support of the class. The visitors then inspected the emmpies of carving windh were on view in the several rooms of the studio talcing their departure shortly be- fore 7 o'clock- Tho casket whioh is of a dark-coloured hard wood is handsomely carved in a scroll pattern, tllie initials of Mrs Gough appearing prominently on the lid.

Queen's Court, Queen's Stnaet, RhyL said: "I have stall the full- eat canfidicu" in Dean's pills- Whenever I get a sign off the old trouble I find a few dlQsoo of the pills soon put me right." When first srpeaking about her eeq>erieinee, Mrs Janiee said: "For four years w so I buffered a gTeat dleal with kidney trouble; I had severe pains in the small of my back., and' at times my back felt lilce breaking. When I stooped I had to take hold of something to help myself up again. "I tried1 different remedseB, but tney me no better, and1 then I started with Dean's back- ache kidney pilfe, which dMi me so much good thai I continued with them.

LLANRWST.
LLANRWST. UNSUSTAJNED CHARGE AGAINST A LOCAL GROCER. The above court was held on Monday, be- fore Colonel Johnston (chairman), Messrs O. Isgoed Jones, H. J. W. Watlisag, W. B. Halhed, W. J. Williams, W. Hugthes, and Colonel Higsoat. Mir J. Clarke Jones, inspector of weights and measures, Ruthin, suifimaned Mr F.-A. Charlton, grocer, etc., Denbigh-street, for aji a-lleged offence under the Foods and Drugs Act. Mr T. Latimer Jones represented the defendant, who ple-aded not guilty. The Inspector said the charge was brought forward under the section of the Act, which, referred to the sale of an article to the pr e- judice of the purchaser n,ot being the quality and substance demanded. Ho was well aware of the fact that it was hand for the defend- ant to be summoned for what other peopJe were guilty of, but the County Council had no option but to prose-cute. He visited the defendant's promisee on March 5th, and asked for a bottle of green peas. He was served by an assistant named R. E. Roberts, and paid lO.^d for the article. He informed Clio assistant that he had purchased it for the purpose of public analysis, and then divided tho contents of the bottle into three parts as required by the Act. The "defendant then came in, a.nd witnessed his proceedings. Ho gave onfe part to the defendant, sent another to the analysft, and now produced the third. The analyst's certificate was as follows:- "The eample contained an amount equal to 2.35 gr. of crystalLscd sulphate of copper per lb. The sample would be injurious to the health of weak persons and children." Cross-examined by Mr Latimer Janes: Whe.n he first entered the shop he purchased a bottle of greengages for pri-vate consump- tion. He then noticed the bottles containing the peas on the counter. He returned in about aID hour, and first asked for a bottle of peas, and tili-en demanded the price. He did not proceed against the defendant for fraudulent deception. He did not allege that the sample would injure tlie health of ordinary parsons, but that it would have that effect upon weak persons and children. He knew Mr Charlton was one of the chief grocers in the town. Dr. G. L. Travis, medical offioer of health, said that according to the result of the analysis the sample was injurious to the health of weak persons and chaLdron. The fact that it contained 2.35 gr. pear lb. of sulphate of copper proved it to be ilmfit for human consumption,. The accumulation of the ingredient made it injurious, particularly to weak persons and children. Doses of i to 2 grs.. was one which should be ad- ministered by a medical man. When in solu- tion the copper might not influence the whole pound, but might have been concentrated in a small portion of the peas. He wouid con- sider the sale of the peas ceirtainly to his pre- judice. Cross-examaned by Mr Latimer Jones: He did not analyse the sample himself, and did not know whether the bottles weire sold ex- tensively in the market. He knew of no case in which poas acted injuriously upon anyone. The solution of copper was used by the manu- facturer's, a French firm, for the purpose of retaining the colour of the peas. If the bottle contained 2.35 gr. of sulphate of copper it would be injurious to the healtfh of even a strong man. They would not tolerate the sale of such articles in foreign countries. Mr R. E. Roberts, assietamt at Mr Charl- ton's shop, de-posed that the inspector visited the premises on March 5th, when Mr Charl- tan was at luncli between one and two p.m. He first came, and asked for a bottle of green- gages with which he was supplied. lie looked about the shop, and picked up a bottle of massidore, and then went out. He re- tuirned in a few minutes, and put his hand on a bottle of green peas, and asked its price; he then took it, and paad for it. Mr T. Latimcfr Jones con banded that ho had no case to meet. The defendant was charged with selling the inspector an article he asked for. The defendant did not deny that the bottio contained some copper, as it bore a Label inscribed "The contents of this battle have been prepared with a small quantity of copper acoordmg to the method which has been followed for many yean past." He did not ask for gireen poas, but for tho bottle which he got. There was no fraud in the case. The label specified the presence of copper, so there had been no adulteration of a clandestine character. The label showed what was in the bottle. Inspector Jonce The label merely referred to the prevailco of a "small aanourt of oopper." It did not specify that the solution was iiijurioua3 to health. It was differ cm t to a case of adulteration of milk with watar for instance. Mr Latimer Jones: You do not imply that the sale was a fraudulent one? The Inspector: No. After the justices had cooieddecrod the martrtei in private, the Chairmeu sa.id that tho magistrates were unani- moualy of opindon that tho saJo was not to th,o prejudice of the purchaser, as it was plainly specified on the bottle that the can- tents contained copper. Tho case was das- missed with costs. Iaispoctor Jones applied that a caao be stated as he would advise his Council to appeaJ against the decision in orrlm to &-jer- tain wh-ether a label was a protection against tho contents of the bottle.

BREACH OF MINES REGULATIONS- Mir Codling, solicitor, Liverpool, appeared on behalf of the Home Office, in support of a eutil- ryiona againta the Glynn Mince Company, Litmiteod, Oapel Ourig, for contravention of Section 1. of the Metalliferous Mines. Regulation Acfc a6 altered1 by Section 1. of the Notice of AocidtenAs Aot, 1906, which provided that the annual return required by the Act Should be sent to the District Inspector before 1st Feb- ruary canli year. Mr Collins said tihat the section of the Act referred! to. madb it imperative for the owners or agent of every mine to send the correct an- nual return to tihe District Inspector bv Feb- ruary 1st, e.acl1 year. It included1 the amount of minerals dressed and SoQJd diuring the year, and the number of men employed both above ground and below. There "were two objects in seou-rOng such returns, naincly, to provide the Home Office with statistic& relative to the minerals and the number of men employed in mdnee. The District Inspector wrote to the firm on February 2nd, drawing tiheir attention to the fact that he had mot received their airmiai return but he received! no reply- He again wrote on February 7th a special letter to tho same etffect and, pointed out that the firm was liable to a heavy penalty for contravention of the Act and pressed for the return, but again he received no reply. He wired on February 10th and received a reply to the effodt that -the blank return that bad been referred to by the Inspector could not be found and that they could not trace having ever re- ceived it The Inspector ack-nowlodgled the letter and drew the attention of the firm to the dupli- cate 'he himself had sent them. He further in- formed thom that he would have to close the year's returns without including their's, which madio tho figures wrong. Subsequently, when too late to be used, the firm sent the return. The Inspector replied that it was too labe and that the firm's action in the matter had been ro- ported! to the Homo Office. The firm them wrote another letter expressing regret at the "little irregularity." and asking the Inspector to put it right with tho Secretary of the State, as the oompany oould ill-afford to pay the line. The Inspector replied that he wag surprised that they roferroro to the contravention of the Act as a. "libtle irregularityhowever, the matter had left his handls and! he had nothing further to do w i-ffi it. Mr G. J. Williams, district inspector of mines. bore out Mr Collins' opening statement. He maintained1 that tho firm could not have mis- laid thc,.foa-an, as tho return had been drawn out on the very one sent them. The result of the firm's neglect was tha.t the statistics for the year were wrong as he was not in a position to supply his department with full details from the dis- trict- Chairman: Wo have decided to impose a fine of E10 and" costs. Mr Oi>liinr. You ara very encouraging; per- haps you will further order the defendant to pay the. advocate's fee. Chairman: Very well.

He waa a firm bolxrvcr in Cho value of the quarterly meet- ings, and had always done his utmost to further its interests. "MOST POWERFUL OPPONENT OF RX,-IAGI<)N.

London. and asking the Arvon Unioai to appoint three reprcsetatsvcij to attend the meeting. Mr T. R.

The Chairman said that a letter had been re- ceived from the WeMi National Society which were engaged in arousing public opinion: against the present poor law system, and asking the con- ference to co-operate with them in the work. They further suggested the adoption of a reso- lution in favour of the minority report of the Poor Law Commission. Principal Roee, Bangor, sard; that the confer- ence in adapting such a resolution did not bind ltoeif to the minority report in detail but of the two reports that was undoubed2y the best in cmnry wa.y. It was of importance to the confer- ence bo take up the subject as it would, be neces- w?~ ^°T G°ve'mirleint to deal with it, and the lnfiuenoo of the Nonconformist churches woukJ uo a great i actor in the uJtimiate prreparation of a bill. The majority report was drawn out fram a Tory standpoint, but both reports condemned the present system as having pro-vied unsuccess- ful in lessening po-rerty in tho country. Al- though the wealth of the country had increased immensely nothsntg had been done to lessen poverty amd relieve the wretchedness a-T»d hope- les3 oonajtioiii of the poor. The cost of oaxrymg out the present system was Is lid pecr head of the population. The speaker then explained at length tho difference between the two reports, and added that, although be might be tarred with the aanie brush as the Ray. Sm-lyn Roberta, yet he quite agreed with has statement that it was a scandal to the vaunted cdvilizaion of Great Britain that respectable people who were Ireu forced by adverse circumstances to seek refuge in the workhouse should pass the remainder of their life in the company of tlhe actum of the population. If the minority report waa adopted tlie condition of aiTajrg would cease. This system would extend a helping hand to those who were w-amo, and asanst them before they became bopeJecsj and Jost to all self-respect. A resolution was adopted in acoordanoe with the suggestion of the Welsh National Society. In the afternoon, a general soraety nueefcing was held, under the presidency of Mr Williams.

LLANDUDNO AND SUNDAY TRAMS. POLL OF THE RATEPAYERS. MAJORITY AGAINST RUNNING. Llandudno ratespayers have, for the p a.t any rate, dooididd against the ruroikig of Sunday trams by a majority of 403. Undter the agree- ment with the IJandiudino and Ckxlwyn Bay Elec- tric Railway Company the Llandudno Urban District Council througih their clerk. Mr Alf. Oonolly, took a poll of tbe ratepayers on Satur- d11y to ascertain their views upon tihe following question•. "Are you in favour of the running of hg'ht railway oars in LI-an-dudno on Suridays?" The same procedure as at District Council elections was followed. Tho electors wero re- quired to place a cross in the space on tho ballot paper opposite the word "Yea" or the word "No," according to th/e opinion which they de- sired to express. There were four pcSling' sta-tioins, and Mr Alf. Conollv, clerk and solici- tor, to the Coimcil, was the returning officer- On beJhaJf of tlho Tramway Oompany, Mar Wil- liam Ivey oonttucted the caunpaign in a perfectly fair and impartial manner, observimg tilie provi- sions of the ballot act to tlie letter. He was assisted by a munnber of local gentlemen, but no systematic caarvass of tho town was made. The case for tihe trams was well set forth in an ad- dress issued by Mr Ivey and posted1 to each elec- tor. The opponents, including some of tine clergy and niinasibora, wiho issued a, manifesto in opposition, were aesiated by a large number of ladlies who worked energetically in canvassing and on tlie polling day. Tlie proposal to run the tramcaiB on Sunday was also strongly op- posed by the coacdi proprietors, cabmen, boat- men, and a large body of ratepayers, who may be legaruied in tllie ligiut of local protectionists. The number of ballot papers filied up was 1338 but one vote was spoiled. The total num- ber of persons qualified to vote (excluding dupli- cates) is 1970. so that the proportion of those who took pairt in the ballot is practically 68 per cant. At the counting the Oouncal were repre- sented by the following committee —Messrs J. MoMaster (chairman), W. H. Jones, W. O. Wil- liams, Pierce Jones, and Thcs.

DENBIGH EASTER VESTRY IMEETING.
DENBIGH EASTER VESTRY MEETING. A CREDITABLE YEAR'S WORK. The aainuaJ vestry for the parish of Den- high was held on Friday evening at the Church. House, the Rector (Rev. T. Redfeann) presiding over an unusually largo attend- ance. Mir E. J. Swaynoe presented the accounts of the wardens for St. Mary's Church, which showed total collections for Church expenses of X266 8s 8d, whir-h kft a balance in hand after meeting all expenses, of JEIO 8s 8d. This halanco would. undoubtedly have boon a great deal larger had it not been for the fact that the services were held at St. David's during tthe renovation of the organ. The Chairman characterised the account as a very rp-tisfaetory one, and the report was adopted, on the motion of Mr J. T. D. Hal ford, seconded by Mr J. P. Lewis. Tho wardens' accounts for St. David's wore presented by Mr John Williams, Clwydfro, showing to<ta,l receipts of X240 5s 9d, with a balance deficit of X3 18s 4d, after marking all payments. 6 It was stated that the total number of ockins collected in St. Mixy's during the year was 18,055, and in- St. David's, 20,857. LIGHTING SYSTEM CRITICISED. The accounts showed that an expenditure of jg21 15s 4d had bean incurred on length an- ing "arms" of the incandeecont light brack- ets in St. David's Church, and that the gas hill had been reduced by .£5. Mr James Hughes, architect, thought the "improvement" in the incandescent light was a very doubtful one. The lights were any- thing but ornamental, and they were also very trying to the eyes. If reduced by six inches, he tihought the effect would be much better. He wished to know whether tenders for tlie work had been invijted. The expense, he thought, was very excessive (hear, hear). Tho Chairman Is it worth while. going into the matt-ex now? The wardens and mysedf were in consultation, and we did our beet. Mr Hughes: But tenders efhould have been invited all the same. The matlter then dropped. ASSISTANT CURATE FUND. lit way reported that a sum of X117 6s had been subscribed to this fund during the year, which, with X50 received from the Church Extension Fund, and < £ 36 3s 7^d, balance from. 1009, made a total of £ 227 15s ajd. After payiiLg the curate's stipend, and for clerical assistance, there was a balance in hand of £45 17s 9d (applause). 2 The account was adopted. SALE OF WORK FUND. The receipts for this fund amounted to £ 138 Us 5d, and the payments to £84 2s 3d, leaving a credit balance of < £ 51 odd (ap- plause). The. Chairman called special attention to the importance of this fund, from which he was able to meet many little calls and doe- ficiency during the year. The accounts were passed. HENLLAN ROOM MISSION. In moving the adoption of the report con- nected with this room, the Rector referred to the excellent work done there, all volun- tarily. There was no more importa.n.t work going on in tihe parish at the present time, and their thanks were specially dll-e to Messrs Howell Daniel, J. T. Hughes, J. Downing, R. A. lias sett (organist), and tihe Sunday School teachers (heur, hear). Mir HaJford seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. WHITCHURCH CHURCHYARD. — The account connected with the up-keep of the churchya-rd at Whitchurch as presented by Misses Eva fewl-, amd Alice Pierce, showed receipts of .£31 18a 6d from 269 subscribers^ There was a balance in hand of X2 8s on the account. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr E. J. Swavne, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the Misses Lewis and Pierce for their kind services. ELECTION OF WARDENS, Etc. The Rector nominated Mr D. E. Hum- phreys Roberts as his ward-en for St. Mary's, •and Mr Wrm. Drury, Vale-sitreet, for St. David's. Messrs Harry Bowdage and Ed- wards Williams (Henll an-street) were ap- pointed respectively people's wardens. Mr Howell Daniel was appointed warden to the Mission Room. Sidesmen were also ap- pointed. A YEAR OF SPLENDID WORK. Reviewing- tho general work done in the panish during the year, the Rector acknow- ledged, in grateful terms, the assistance rendered him by the Rev. T. J. Bavies (senior on rate), the churchwardens, the members of the ohoirs, the super in tend ente and teachers of the Sunday Schools. A sum of X1303 10s 2d had been collected voluntariJy during the ye-air, and every penny of the sum of X2370 5s 6d expended on the restoration of Whitchurch had been paid—(applause)— making total of £ 3673 15s 8d paid (hear, hear). The cost of renovating tho organ waa .£341 6s 2d, and this also had been paid (cheers). A parish that could do this was a Living parish, and the Church that could do it was not by any means a dying or a de- cayed Church (loud applause). This brought the proceedings to a close.
