However, from the excellent cha- nctv gnou him they were inclined to believe that he wm ovier before guilty of such an offence. He hoped far wiwild be more cautious in future as to how lie would mv a knife in any affray which he might be drawn in- to; atari abstain from drinking. The fact of his having sweirfd the blow was no justification of his conduct, naeenily when they remembered that he followed the jnateator into the house, aud that it was there he SBMKBitted this cowardly act. The sentence of the Court was that he be imprisoned &r ne calendar month, aud kept to hard labour. LARCENY.

IMPORTANT TO WORKMEN. I JmAt.Walter John Evans appellaut, KODert Ont, rwpondent. This was an appeal against the de- «nc! the Conwoy Magistrates in a case tried on the M »f M.%y Lut; 'when the appellant was charged with utifasictfttiiig one of respondent s workmen, and was owteucctl to one month's imprisonment Or- Powell was engaged for the appellant, and Mr. R. 0l Williams for respondent. Mr. R. D. WILLIAMS said, the appellant was proceed- ed %pinot tind" 6th George IV., c. 139, s. 3, which eewcled that if any person shall by violence to the per. or property, or by threats or intimidation, or by mufefttion, or in any way obstruct another, force or en- 4AhWMW to force any journeyman, manufacturer, work- mm, or other person hired or employed in any manufac- IK, tnde or business, to depart from his hiring, em- ploywwnt, or work, or to return his work before the amow ^11 be finished, or prevent or endeavour to pre- mat any journeymen, manufacturer, workman, or other poneanot being hired or employed from hiring himself, or from accepting work or employment from any person «v rwTBons," &c., shall be imprisoned only, and shall or may be imprisoned and kept to hard labourfor any time tfieeeding three calendar months." Now, the law "M that point was elear and unmistakeable. Robert Owvai was a master builder at Llandudno, and in April to*, having two or three contracts in hand, employed 74or 2D workmen. Among others there was a plasterer of the name of Newell, whom he employed since Janu- my Lv* Newell, as well as some other plasterers at Undwlno, had formed themselves into a branch society "ber trade society at Chester, In that society there Mvf aewral rules and regulations, some of which were mji arbitrary. But whatever the rules of a society wm nothing would justify any man to do anything awarary to law. The question he had to submit to tAK- Court was, whether this man (Evans) did some- Cfaag, by intimidation or otherwise, to induce Newell, ID leave his work. Newell was at work an the 26th Aril; when there happened to be in Owen's employ a M, not regularly apprenticed to the trade, and, it there was a rule for the society hands not X?tA -wng with those not so apprenticed. Evans weal to Newell and said to him, If you work with Owen the society will took you in the face," or words ro that eject. Now, he wished their worships to ob- art" the words of the act were very comprehensive. It woe not necessary that there should be any actual force .tI, but evidently such words as t hose made use of by lb which implied if you work with your present you will be reported to the society and fined. TV* eeicsequence was that he left his work. He return- ad in a day or two, but afterwards left; and not only dwk the other men followed hisexample—all left except oae or two and the loss he sustained by the stoppage (it his works was very serious. It was a monstrous pro- meding, and what must in the long run prove ruinous bo the men themselves, if persisted in. The simple •oration their Worships had to decide that day, was wfcether the Magistrates at Petty Sessions in coming to I&P conclusion they did in ordering the person who in- daeed the othef man to leave his work, to be imprisoned ftp week did that which the act just read contem- and empowered them to do. He then called tti prowentor, :1Ir. Robert Owen who sad;—I am a fleiller »t Llandudno. In March last had 18 men in m Mnplov, on the 26th April Evans came to the build- im& avaro said to Newell iu my presence, "Chester IlrillIMit thee in the face, if thou goest on with the mt," He had been working for me from January tiR that time. After what said Evans Newell went away Am and thre. ttum-naiuined by Mr. POWELL-I he words made or el were Do as you please, worfc or not, Chester w9t loolc you in the face." ML-oxamiued-Knew that Evans and Newell were fhn of a society. VWthe- Bench-in consequence of that interference mf wotfc was greatly impeded-all the men except two %on& slid a lad left me. that. Kewell, a plasterer, and a number of the plas- terer's society in LiverpooL That society (he said) hld the power of lining the members if they go contrary to tile rules. Was working for Owen from January till April. Evans objected to Owen employing a lad. lie said to him (witiiess, Please yourself, but Chester will stare you in the face." This was said after Owen had told him to go to his work." The reason I did not like to go to work was because I did not feel inclined to go. The society could fine him if he would go to work agaiust the rules. The CHAIRMAN— Where are the rules ? Why are they not produced ? Mr. R. D. W ILLIAMS-1 don't know; I only go by the rules or the Acts of Parliament. To the BENcH-It was not in consequeuce of what Evans said that I left work. Cross-examined by Mr. POWELL-Did not commence work on the 20th. Had decided the night before not to work. The society to which I belong is a National So- ciety all over the kingdom. Mr. R. D. WILLIAMS-Did you work after that time. Witness—No. Mr. It. D. WILLIAMS -Now, be cautious man, what you say, for we know what you said at Conway. Mr. POWFLL-Well, that is intimidation. (Laughter.) The Witness--Idid work one day afterwards. I was coming from off the ladder when Owen came to me. I knew that I was not to workmen Monday; Sullivan said I was not to work. The CHAIRMAx-What was the reason you did not work ? Witness—Because I would be fined. This concluded the respondent s case. Mr. POWELL said that the case as presented before their worships was bad in point of law; and, without meaning any disparagement to the gentlemen who usually sat to administer justice in that Court, he con- gratulated them upon the acquisition had that day in the person of a member of the bar, who had just taken his seat, upon the bench, because the question he had to t;ubmit was a legal one- nice -is it was dry. True, as his learned friend had observed, the act under which it was sought to substantiate the charge against his client, was a comprehensive one, but the conviction proceeded upon very narrow grounds indeed. It stated that the accused by threats and intimidation," prevented Newall from working. He would call their attention to the heading in thii clause, which was, "violently preventing persons working." Here was a statute as penal in its consequences as any act could possibly be-so penal that they had no discretion to inflict a pecuniary punishment —it must be by a term of imprisonment. Now, he contended that the conviction made was not on the grounds of molesting," but upon that of "threatening and intimidation, and certainly it was not proved in evidence that the appellant had either threatened or in. timidated the man. Both belonged to a trade society which was a national one, with rules and regulations framed under the sanction of Mr. Tidd Pratt, the barris- ter In this case one member, without either a threat, in- timidatiou or violence said to another member, Do as you please, but remember Chester will stare you in the face," I f that was threat he really did not know what a threat was. The fact was it was impossible that any man working with another could use a milder term than that He therefore confidently maintained that the evidence did not support the conviction, and upon that ground claimed a non-suit. Mr. Vaughan WiUiams-Cases of this description fre- quently arise, and come before the Courts. Can you re- fer to any one, Mr. Williams ? Mr. R. D. Williams -I do not know of any one, just Mr Powell-In "Stoneman's Manual" the proper con- struction of the wor,18 "threat," "violence," and" in- timidation," are explained and furtter comes the word » molestation" which is explained that no workman entering into an agreement for the purpose of fixing or regulating the rate of wages, and endeavouring in a reasonable and peaceable mannerto induce others to ab- stain or cease from work be deemed guilty of molesta- tion." Here they find a special act rendering it perfect- ly legitimate for workmen to endeavour in a peaceaule manner by reason and agreement, to influence their fellow-workmen, with the view of fixing or regulating wages. What more, therefore, was done here ? Mr. R. D WILLIAMS—That is an Act to enable work- men to fix the rate of wages there is no dispute what- ever about wages here, and, consequently, it bears no reference to this case. Mr. VAUGHAN WiLLi MS-At present, it does not ap- pear what the dispute was about. Why are we to as- sume that it is not about wages Mr. R. D. Williams— Mr. Powell has not asked a single question upon that point. Mr. VAUGHAN WILt.IAMs-lt is your duty to ask that question, and not his. Mr. R. D. Williams—I have done so already, as you will find by the Chairman's notes. Newell (re-called) said the dispute was about the boy's indentures. I Mr. R. D. Williams—So it turns out that the dispute is not about wages. If men are allowed to interfere with masters as to the boys whom they employ, then there is an end to their independence, and they are com- pletely at the mercy of the men. The question is-did this man threaten to report Newell to Cheter 1 It is not necessary to make use of actual words of threat, but such as would make the witness understand that he wta threatened. Mr. Powell again went on to shew that the clause in Stoneman's was applicable to the present case; and ob- served that, moreover, Newell abstained from work not on account of anything said to him by Evans but that he had determined previously to leave the work. The CBAIlUlAN- We are of opinion that this order should be confirmed. Mr. Powell- Then I apply for a case in the Queen ,s Bench, B The case was then drawn out and agreed upon by the two advocates. ANOTHER CHARGE OF INTIMIDATION AT BANGOR. Mr. Powell lodged an appeal against the decision of Magistrates at Bangor, in a case of "Morgan Riebards v, James Thompson and Lewis Roberts," tried on Mon- day last, and applied to have the hearing of it postponed till next Quarter. The application was granted, and the bails were or. dered to be enlarged. l'OLICE RATE. Mr. Powell moved for a police rate of I Jd. in the nound. No county rate was moved for I CHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT. My Lord and Gentlemen, With the balance sheet of expenditure for the quarter, I append to this report a full statement, according to the Home Office returns, of the crimes and offences in the county for the quarter ending March 31st, 1864. The money earned for the same quarter amounts to f38 4s. lid., made up as under :— Division. Fund. Police Rate total. £ s. d. s. d. £ s. d.

RHYL. SUPPER BY MR. HEALING.-On Monday evening last, Mr. Healing, the well-kqiown auctioneer, and proprietor 'of the George Hotel, invited upwards of forty friends [mostly railway officials] to a grand supper at the Dud- ley Arms Hotel, for the purpose of celebrating the fortieth anniversary of his wedding-day. Mr. Healing himself sat at the head of the table, and Mr. Williams, station-master, occupied the vice-chair. A very pleasant evening was spent. IMPROVEMENT COMMISSIONERS. The annual meeting of the Commissioners, for the passing of accounts, &c was held on Friday, the 24th ult. Present—Rev. Hugh Morgan; Messrs. Wm. Hil- ditcb, Edward lloberts, Henry Parry, Thomas Roberts, J. R. Jones, Wm. Thomas, Edward Vaughan, Thomas Healing, E. Powell Jones, W. Wynne, Belvoir Hotel, J. Williams, ironmonger, Wm. Morris, builder, John Jones, Dolaweu. Mr. Hilditch was unanimously elected chairman of this day's meeting. The TOWN CLERK said the meeting had been called to receive the report of the Finance Committee held on the 21st ult., and to order that a rate be made at the July meeting of the Commissioners to meet the expenditure of the ensuing year. The CHAIRMAN read a minute account of the town ex- penditure during the past year, the total amount of which appeared to be £ 1348 12s. The total amount of receipts was zCl343 16A. 3Jd. The estimates for the ensuing yearwere then carefully gone through. Each item was well considered; and although a little knotty discussion ensued on some of them, they were ultimately unanimously passed without any alteration whatever. Ample provision is made at, we presume, the least possible expense, to place the promenades, the roads, drainage, lamps, &c., of the town, in good order, at an estimated expense of £ 1413 ^s, 3d. A sum of jEliiO is included in that estimate towards purchasing a fire engine for the town, in addition to the £30 subscribed by the Insurance Companies. The CHURKAN said that out of £1414 7a. 3d. proposed to be expended for the ensuing yeat, it was calculated that £218 would be received from market dues, sc., therefore they had only to provide a rate for X1200 and a rate of 2F3. in the pound upon Z120000 on asse88a. property would produce that money, and leave a sum ot about 1:5 more than they should require. It was unanimously resolved— That a statement of the accounts [when auditedj be printed fordistribution, and that notice be given through- out the town of the intention of the Commissioners at the next monthly meeting, July 8th, to levy a rate of two ehillings in the pound on the estimated rateable value of the property within the township; and that an estimate for the year lies for inspection at the Commis- sioners' office." In the ourse of the meeting, Mr IIKALINO said, with reference to the roads, that if a practical surveyor w, appointed, say at a salary of X30 a year, to devote his attention to thfm, instead of entrusting them to a committee of inexperienced men in matters of that description, the Commissioners would thereby save a large amount of money.. Mr POWELL JONT.S observed that the Road Commit- tee, including Mr. Healing, were all practical men, and were perfectly capable of superintending the stale of the roads. Mr. HEAI.I'IG said lie xvokild not be t surveyor; he would not presume to be what he was not. It Was es- sential, in his opinion, that a Surveyor of Roads should be appointed in lihyl. The CHAIRMAN said the subject would be a proper one to be mooted at the monthly meeting. Mr. HEALING then said he should give notice of it at the next monthly meeting. Mr. HEALING also drew Attention to the necessity or having an efficient weighing machine in the m u-ket, and the importance of requesting the keeper to produce an exact account of the money received for weighing. 1 he revenue, iu that respect, should be far greater than it is at present. at ?he matter was then referred to the Market Hall Com- mittee. The CHAIRMAN remarked that he was glad to see such unanimity at this meeting, and he only hoped the Com- missioners would shew the same unanimity when the subject of adopting the Local Government Act was brought forward. [Laughter.] PENRTIYN DEUDRAETH. Amongst the successful caudidates who have passeo the tlegree of M.A. in tile late examination of the Uni, versity of London, we are glad to find the name of the Rev !) Evaus, Penrhyndeudraeth, formerly student in the Calvinistic College, Bala. Thus was the last of a series of examinations, iu which Mr. Evans acquired himself with credit, having gained a place in the First Division at each of those, together with honours in hu- glish Literature, and in Logic and Moral Philosophy on two different ocoasiona. PORTMADOC. MARRIAGH OF MISS E. J. COOKE, ABERIA. On Wednesday last the marriage of the second daugh- ter of W. Fothergill Cooke, Esq., took place at Penrhyn- (leudraetti-tlle l,i-i(legr,),)iLi being Major Andrews, of the Royal Artillery (commanding at Devonport), who greatly distinguished himself in the Crimea during the late Russian war. Mr. Cooke, himself, has immobilized his name M the practical inventor of the Electric Telegraph and locally, during the past two years or so, he has resided at Aberia, a marine mansion of surpassing beauty, and within about a mile of Portmadoc, where he has won "goldeu opinions" of all classes of the inhabi^ tants by his straightforward and gentlemanly conduct and bear- itig. As might have been expected, the auspicious occasiou was taken advantage of by the people of the district to manifest their good feeling and respect for the family and rejoicings took place at Portmadoc, Penrhyndeu- draeth, Treinadoc, and Festiniog—in which latter place Mr. Cooke is the chief proprietor of one of the quar- ries. In Portmadoc, flitgs were hoisted from Mr. Mathew's slate-yard, Mr. W. Lloyd's, draper, Mr. Lloyd's, furni- ture dealer, and by others and at Penrhyn the ohildren of the British and National Schools were treated to an excellent tea with the customaiy adjuncts. Arches were also erected, in the last-named village, tastefully orna- mented and one or two arches were likewise erected at Festiniog. A most beautiful arch was also made near to-the Aberia mansion, by Mr. Warren, farm bailiff and garden- er, consisting chiefly of poles wreathed with purple heath flowers, and surmounted by Pampas grass, which had a most unique and beautiful appearance. There was also a very nice arch near to Deudraeth Castle, in houour of the occasion, and under which the wedding party had to go and return from the Church. This argh was most chaste and elaborated, and in the centre was suspended a circlet of flowers, in the middle of which was a monogram of the names of the Bride and Bridegroom-" A. C." In short, there was ,scarcely any part of the district but what had some mark of rejoicing and sign of re- spect. We may add that Major Andrews has a world-wide fame. For his brilliant services in the Crimea, he has received the Sardinian medal, also the star of the French Legion of Honour, the 5th class of the Turkish of Med- jii, and several others. He was also commissioned by her Majesty to offer the model gun to the Emperor of the French -which of itself speaks volumes as to the estimation in which the gallant Major must be held by his countrymen. Mr. Bolland, of Chester, supplied and superintended the wedding breakfast, and everything went off as joy- fully as a marriage bell." COSCERT.-On Wednesday evening last Mr. Walter Hay, of Shrewsbury, gave a concert in the National School-room, to a very thin attendance, we are sorry to say. The instrumental music was superior to anything which we ever heard in Wales, and quite took the na- tive" musicians aback. The vocal performances were but mediocre. WOMBWBLL'S MENAGERIE.—'This fine show visited Portmadoc on Thursday last, and a very fine collection it was. We had no particulars before our last parcel was sent off; but we have no doubt but what the "show" was well patronised.

I REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE I DURING THE PAST WEEK. The past week has brought us to a crisis, both as it respects the state of the crops an t the aspects of politics the former has not been so favourable as the previous weather let us to hope. Though dry on the whole, with powerful sunshine occasionally, the temperature at night has been low and the wind too rough for a very propitious blooming time still we are not in condition to report real damage as yet, and after the changes we have passed through, thecrops of all kinds, in the southern counties espe- cially, look better than might have been expected. The political horizon has a gloomier cait, the term of conference being just out, without any indication, so far, of agreement between the contending powers, and as Great Britain has taken a prominent part in her efforts for peace, without avail, it remains to be seen whether more powerful arguments than diplomacy will be em- ployed in defence of right. The conclusion arrived at seems in- dicated in the state of markets, which-not for wheat only, but for all other cereals-show an upward movement. Wisdom may indeed come at the 11th hour into German councils, and stave off the greatest of calamnities, "legalised bloodshed among brethren" but we have our fears that British might, as well as argument, will he needed for the settlement of Danish claims, and then nothing but Danish, Swedish, and Russian produce may be allowed to pass the Baltic. Our crops are only yet in embryo, our stocks reduced to the doubtful surplus of one good year, our prices below equitable remuneration to industrial en- terprise, and, should they keep at present rates, or only oscillate about these prices, it will be fair to view it as a phenomenon in- cident to the remarkable character of the age, and ominous as to the future; especially should any disaster befat the yet green standing corn. We have seen English wheat sail for France dur- ing the week, where the markets, though in some instances eas- ier, are still above our own. The Dutch and Belgian markets are more for consumption than export, and America sends but little, and is still rising, as the growing crops there gire ios& pro- mise, while the war tmna without end.

I LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—TUESDAY. Our supplies of foreign wheat and flonr dnring the past week have been on a moderate tcale and chiefly from America the arrivals of all other articles are exceedingly small. e The export list contains two items of note, Vi7.11,2& quar. ters wheat (Californian) to Melbourne, and 680 sacks flour to Eypt. The shipments to Ireland and coastwise are larger than of late.

To the list of public benefactors of the present age, ought asi- redly to be added the name of Mr. White for by his invention of the Moc-Main Patent Lever Tiuss, he has not only, in a mea- sure, immortalized himself, but rendered valuable and enduring aid to those, nigh countless multitudes, suffering from Rupture and other similar maladies. Rare ingenuity and simplicity characterize this Invention, which has nut only received the ap. probation of iiiany of the most eminent members of the Profes- ion, but the very nattering and voluntary testirnonyof thousands who have worn it for years.
