A H-LTHEAO APPEAL CASE. I t On Tuesday, before Mr Justice Oiuumell and Mr Justice Bucknill, sitting as a Divisional Court in the Queen's Bench Division, the case of Evans T. Adteane came on for argument. Mr Itawlin- son, Q.O., and Mr Williams (instructed by Messrs Lloyd Griffith and Williams) appeared for the ap- pellant, and Mr Horridge (instructed by Mr it E. Pritchard) for the respondent. Mr Hawlimon said this was an appeal by the defen- dant, Miss Adeane, from a decision of the County Court judge of Anglesey sitting at Holyhead. The point in dispute was whether or not the de- fendant, against whom the judge had given judg- ment, with nominal damages of £2 end costs, had a right of way over a particular small strip ( of land. The property in question belonged ori- finally to a man ramed, Jones, and in 1884 Miss Adeane bought from him certain property des- eribed on a pian produced). Mr Justice Channel! asked whether the case had been before the Court previously, aB he thought he recognised the plan. Mr Rawlinson said it had, but on a totally different point, and their lordships ordered a new trial in that ease, which wr.s decided in favour ( of Miss Adeane, she being the plaintiff then. The present action was brought against Miss Adeane in reference to acts over the same strip of land. She daÎmcda right of way along a back road, and the present plaintiff said by walking or riding along it she was committing a trespass. Jones owned this back rond as well, and Miss Adeane's contention was that when she bought lots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8, she necessarily bought the right of way over the back road by which access was had to these lots. If that were not tio, there would he no access to lot 8. Miss Adeane had used this right of way since 1894, and in 1898 she came into dispute with Evans in Teference to the boundary of the back road, and an action for trespass was taken by Miss Adeane, -with the result that she was successful in pre- venting Erans trespassing ou the back road. Jikans then went to Jones, amd bought the free- hold of tho land, and corrunenced an action against Miss Adeane for using this bit of land. Her eon- f-ention was that her conveyance from Jones im- plicitly granted a right of way over this land, t)ut the Uounty Court judge said there was no jou,ch grant, as the conveyance did not mention any right of way, and the plan attached did not mark the back road like the plan on which defen- dant bought from Jones. MT Horridge argued in support of the judgrc-ent that the conveyance to appellant did not include this right of way. After considerable discussion, their lordships dismissed the appeal with costs, and leave to appeal was granted.

SABNABVON BWRD OP GTTAIMIANS., THE COMPLAINTS AGAINST OFFICERS. SHOULD PAUPER PATIENTS HAVE NOURISHMENT? The monthly meeting of this. Board took place on The monthly meeting of thi Board took place on Saturday, under the presidency of the Chairman | (Mr1 Thomas Owen). Mr John Menzies, referring to the minutes of the last meeting, thought that they were incon-cet so far as they related to the decision of the Board regarding the complaints about the medical officer ,an(i relieving officer for the district of Llandwrog. He understood that it was decided to ask the Local Government Board to ;hold- an inquiry respecting the two officers. Mr T. W. Williams said that the minutes were correct, the resolution of the Board being to ask the Local Government Board thhold an inquiry ino the case of the medical officer, and inform them that the reply received from the relieving officer was not satisfactory. The Clerk: Yes., that is how we have it in the 1IÚnutea. Mr J. Menzies: I thought that the relieving officer was included Mr T. W. Williams said that what struck him, after finding that there was no reply from the Local Government Board, was that the Department readily granted small things, but they were most •dilatory when matters of great importance were concerned. The pauper patients of the Llandwrog ^•strict suffered' hardships because of the Union officers, and yet the Local Government Board had filent the Guardians no reply. He moved that the special attention of the Department be called to t matter. Mr W. J. Williams moved that they should go further, and suspend the medical officer, and ap- point someone else to look after the district (hear, hear) Mr H. Parry seconded Mr Williams's proposal, -which was unanimously carried, Dr. Williams (Try- fan Hall) being appointed to look after the district temporarily. On the motion of Mr R. B. Ellis, supported by several, permission was granted Miss Jervis Jones (Carnarvon) to establish a branch of the Brabazon Employment Society in connection with the work- house. The Master reported that Christmas gifts for the inmates had been received from the Misses Owen (Ty Cach). Messrs Lake and Co., Miss Sam-pron. i Misses Jackson, Mr doss (Llanberis), Mrs Taylor Morgan, Mr D. W. Davies, Mr Fraser, Mr Gwenlyn lb%ns,, Mr H. Humphreys (ironmonger), and Mr Humphreys (grocer). Mr Ellis Roberta raised the question of the extra relief given to patients as prescribed by medical officers. He complained that the cost of wines, heef tea, etc., prescvibed for the pauper patients in the district of Llanrug during the last montn amounted to £10. Tho Guardians, he maintained, took the question of these necessaries into considera- tion when granting relief in the first instance, and- he moved that, the attention of the doctors be callei j to the matter. Mr W. J. Williams thought that the duty of the Guardians was not to grant extra relief themselves. He understood that the doctors could act indepen- dently of even the Guardians. The Clerk remarked that that was not so. Mr T. W. Williams said that the regulations were ^kat any order given by the medical officer should submitted to tho relieving officer, to be after- wards confirmed by the Guardians. Mr John Roberts said that his complaint was that these orders were given in the first instance to the patients; he had no objection to the orders so long as they were first submitted to the relieving officers. The Clerk: A relieving officer is not bound to act upon a doctor's order, but he takes upon him- ml f atIthe reep<mœility when doing so. Mr R. B. BiLin I do not think that any doctor would recommend luxuries, as one guardian de- scribed them. MrT. W. Williams agr.in said t hat it was the Guar- dians' and not the doctors' fault, as all certificates a Qlit to be submitted to the relieving officers. §r J. J. &an: What is £ 10 to spend in a district wfliich has about 400 paupers? With in- lfuenza., you know very well how soon a pint of whisky goe, (loud laughter). I think it is a mistake 1 to begrudge! this money. The subject then dropped. An inmate named Selina Pugh Owen. who, oil the -previous Monday, had been convicted by the magis- trates for drunkenness—the medical evidence being to the effect that she also suffered from laudanum drinking—made an application for permission to leavei the workhouse. Mr W. J. Williams detailed the exceptional cir- cimstances of tihis case, and expressed his belief that people of that class should be distinctly told that when they were permitted to leave the house they would not be allowed the same liberty again: should they return to the h.ouse in an unfit state (hear, bear). He mlwed a resolution accordingly. hea. Owm Üj¡:ll1ih :.IYaid that the woman in que"tion was not fit to look after her- self. The Clerk explained that such persons might le stopped from leaving the workhouse for a period of five or six weeks. The woman was then called before the Board, and informed by the Chairman that if she chose to go out IIåe would not be allowe to return. The Inmate: Then I would rather go out and not Teturn (laughter). The Chairman Then the Board have decided that you are not to go out at all. You cannot take care of yourself. The committee appointed to consider the question ci superannuation to Miss Jones, who recently re- a ,'ted t,t of industrial trainer at the work- h,,?- aL, recommended that she be allowed 235 an- nually. This was agreed to. The Visiting Committee also reported that four applications had been received for the vacancy caused by Miss Jones's resignation, zlnd- two names, those of bfim Poberts, Ruthin Workhouse, and Miss Williame, Waenfawr (who was temporarily em- ployed in the house), were submitted to the con- sideration of the GU8.rœans. Both appeared at the meeting, and wwe voted upon by ballot, Mis& Ro- berts reoeiving Z3 votes and Miss Williams 16, th1 former being therefore appointed.

SERIOUS OBAMZ 07 ASSAULT AT i BANGOR. At the Bangor Police Court on Tuesday be- fore Mr T. Lewis and other magistrates, a cabdriver named Robert Williame was charged on remand with assaulting a railway.. wil- liam Shelton, at the latter's residence in Upper Bangor on Saturday night week. Mr Thornton Jones appeared to prosecute on behalf of the pol- ice, and Mr S. R. Dew defended. The court was crowded. Mr Thornton Jones, in his opening remarks, nMd that on the night of the assault about eleven o'clock the defendant came to the door of Shelton and inquired whether he had a bed for a friend. Shelton told them to come in and see his wife. They did so, but after sitting down, Williams went for Shelton in « mo3t murderous manner. He blackened both his eyes and caused him con- siderable damage. The moat serious part of the affair was that he broke Shelton's lower jaw, and attacked him about the neck so that there was a serious swelling of the larynx, which even now caused the medical men considerable axixietyand difficulty as well as pain in swallowing. From the time of the assault the complainant had been unable to take any solid food, and he could not speak well because of his jaw. There had been no word of a quarrel, and nothing to justify the defendant. He would esk the Bench if the case was proved to deal very severely with the de- fendant if they did not commithim for trial, for it was quite within their power if they thought the evidence warranted it to commit for a more serious offence than hud been brought against the man now. There was a cross-summons, though the defendant had been apprehended under a warrant. One pathetic incident in connection with the affair was that the little daughter of the complainant, who was blind, went out in search of help, and that the father was again assaulted when he went out in search for her. The police came on the scene afterwards, but by that time the assailants had gone. The man was still in a very weak state of health, and was afraid of the defendant owing to his violent tendencies. Wm. Shelton, in the course of his evidence, said there was a knock at his door at 11.10 p. nL witness answered it, and Kobert Williame and a friendl came in. He askedf if witness had a bed for the friend. Witness then told him to oome in and see his wife. They came in after him. Robert Williams sat on the sofa and the friend eat in a chair close by, opposite to where wit- ness sat. There was not and never had been a quarrel between him -and defendant. The next tiling that happenedl was the defendant got up and struck him in the face. Then he caught hold of him by the coat and pulled him head first from his chair. He held him fast on the floor, and while doing so he asked his friend for a knife so that he might finish witness while he Had. a chance. After that they both left the house. He then got up and went to fetch his little girl who had gone out to seek assistance. The child could not hee very well, and he went in search of her. Then the defendant got hold of him outside and pulled him to the floor and kicked hhn about the head. Witness called out, "Don't kill me, Bob," I and then the defendant ran away. On Sunday a doctor was sent for. Dr. Grey Edwards came first of all, and Dr. Price examined him. after- wards. Cross-examined by Mir Dew, Witness said that { Williaius had been in the house once before that evening. There was also a young fellow called Newgold in the house, and he. sent for some beer of which the witness had a share. Newgold came in the second time, but he did not bring any drink at that time. He heard someone throwing stones at the window, and when wit- ness went out he discovered it was the de- fondant Robert Williams, and witness askedt him in. Newgold and Williams were in for about ten minutes, and they went out together. After a considerable time Newgold came back to the house by himself and he brought sixpenny worth of beer with him. Witness and his wife took very little. When Williams came back Newgold was still in, but witness's wife did not press him for drink neither did she take a quart bottle of beer from the pocket of Robert Williams' friend. He did not see his wife taking a shilling from one of the men in order to fetch drink. The men were not in more than five minutes, and no drinking took place at the time. Wit- ness did not take up the poker and hit Robert Williams on the nose. Robert Williams did not csll out to his friend) "Look out for fear he has a knife." What the defendant did was to ask his friend for a knife. Dr. Fl O. Price gave evidence as to the nature and extent of Shelton's injuries, some of which were serious. He did not think that the swelling of the larynx was the result of the injury to the jaw. Mrs Shelton corroborated the evidence given by her husband. In cross-examination she said she put the poker under the sofa when defendant attacked her husband, and they found the tongs outside. Her husband did not strike the de- fendant with the poker. P.O. Mason gave evidence and swore that he saw the defendant on the night in question with- out his hat and ooat which he declared he had lost. He did not then make a complaint to him, but on the following night he told him that he had been assaulted, and that he had been struck on the nose with the tongs. There was no mark on his nose. This completed the case for, the prosecution, whereupon Mr Dew asked if the magistrates in- tended to deal with the case summarily or not. The Bench retired to consider the point, and upon their return said they were prepared to listen to the defence. Mr Dew demanded t-o know what the Bench decided to do before opening his defence, and said that the defendlant was entitled to know that. A bit of a scene ensued and Mr Dew remarked that unless the Bench decided whether they were going to try the man summarily or not, he would advice his client to decline to give his evi- dence before that court. Mr Thornton Jones observed that the proper course to take would be to formally charge the defendant, and then if the Bench thought they could deal adequately with him, then, by #11 means, let them go on that day but. if otherwise, then he agreed with Mr Dew, who had a perfect right not to call any witnesses. The charge was a sufHciently serious one in his opinion to go for trial for doing grievous bodily h?M, to go for cou, it could be reduced afterwards to one of common osm it'. Defendant then reserved his defence and was committed for trial at the _izes, bail being ac- cepted, himself in £ 20 and two sureties in M each.

BANS OR HBBEEW OOKBEEOATIOIT. INTERESTING CEREMONY AT THE SYNAGOGUE. SYNAGOGUE.. On Sunday a special afternoon service waa held: at the Synagogue, Bangor, .the Rev. S. Friede- berg, B.A., the Rev. A. Buthowaky, of Liver- pool; and the Rev. J. Rosenzweig officiating. The holding of the service was in consequence of the wish of Dr. Adler, to hold a "Queen's Sun- day," and to complete a large new "scroll of the law," presented to the congregation. The Ban- gor congregation are the recipients of handsome synagogue vestments, beautifully worked in gold on dark blue plush, together with extra mantles end covers in rich brooadied silk; a fine "scroll of the law," ondl a pair of massive silver bells bearing the following inscription:—"Presented) to the Bangor Hebrew congregation by M.R., M.R., M.R., M.R., A. A.R. A.R., F.R., D.R., H.R., of London." The scroll which is regarded as a handsome copy was purchased from the Rev. N. Lipman, of London. On the comple- tion erf the Sefer Torah and the opening of after- noon service, the Rev. S. Friedeberg, B.A., de- livered an address, taking his text from Psalm 19 "The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul." In the course of his remarks he referred to the zeal of the pious wellwisher of this con- gregation whose magnificent presentations were made the occasion of a special ceremonial. Re- ferring to the collection about to be made in aid of the war fund, the preacher said that duty to their Sovereign and country enjoined by the Bible and later teachers was a virtue etjxmgly set in the Jewish heart, even in countries of Eastern Europe that oppressed and persecuted their brethren. The love of the Jew for the land of his birth was remarkably strong, and as touching as it was remarkable; while England, this dear country, this happy land which had recognised equality, had no more loyal and devoted subjects than her Jewish sons. They had no fear that Anti-Semutism. would invade these shores, and they had no fear that what had happened in France would happen here; that after being for years the apostle of equality and liberty die Ehould permit and foster hatred and persecution against her Jewish citizens. Once England was convinced of the righteousness and justice of her course, and once she committed herself to it she never swerved but pursued and persevered in it to the end; she had extended to them all the privileges of citizenship without reserve, and they loved her with a devoted love. Closing his eloquent appeal the preacher exhorted his con- gregation to let their impulses and loyalty and compassion have full sway, and that they would give now without stint, though they had to deny themselves some personal pleasure. They were privileged that day to help in a. glorious and. hu- mane work. Let them rise to the occasion and I respond nobly to the call and give of their means for God and country. The collection realiged :05. The small syna- gogue was crowded; a large number of Christ- ians also being present. A number of apologies were received from public men in Bangor for their absence. In the morning, the Rev. S. FriedtebeTg, B.Al, examined the children of the Hebrew class in Hebrew Bible and religion. Dr. Witton Davies, Professor of Hebrew to the University College of Wale<i, who was present, presented on behalf of the Synagogue, prizes to Alex Barnett, Rosy Lew, Sarah Wartsld, and Annie Levy. Later in the evening a reception to meet the visiting clergymen was given to members and friends by I the treasurer, Mr M. Wartski. The synagogue was, beautifully decorated with plants and flowers by ladies of the congregation.
