THE ASeAL BALI, of the Denbigh an.1 Flint: Hunt took place at Rhyl town hall on luesday C'OLONKL OWEN LEWI* (OPE WILLIAMS, of Cri-y-dlln, .Anglesea, is one of the most recent Men of the Day" caricatured in T and;/ Fair. THE W\K VOTE.-At the monthly meeting of the countv of Flint belonging to the Welsh Cal. vlaistic Methodists, representing h,000 members and 18 500 hearers, held ot Idan-ollen, on Mon- day the following resolution was passed:- This meeting humhly hes to express its strong desire that the Government may do all in its power to maintain the strict neutrality it has pledged itself to in the present conflict between Russia and Turkey." THE DR. WILLIAMS' ENDOWED (TIRLS SCHOOL, at Dolgelley, is fast approaching com- pletion. The accommodation at present is for sixteen boarders, for which twenty-one applica- tions have been received, and the number of day scholars that can be accommodated are fifty, while fifty-eight applications have been sent in. The head mistresses, Miss Armstrong, of the Hampden Guerney School, London, and Miss Taylor and Miss Pritehard are the two assistant mistresses: both are from London, the latter being now engaged at the London School of Cookery. A MYSTERY AT RHYL—On Saturday, [I. reat sensation was caused ill Rhyl by the dbcoyery oi the body of a child in a railway truck, Some children were playing near some trucks which had been repaired and were about to be put back on the line, when they discovered a bundle covered with a sheet of paper curiositypnmipted j them, and they found the body of a boy about month old. The attention of the police was called to the matter, and it was found that it was prepared in every way for burial, while there were no marks of violence. On Monday a post- mortem was made, and an inquest held, and, as there was some doubt as to whether the child was placed in the waggon alive or not, the inquiry was adjourned. THE ExcLEI'IELB COLLIERY COMPANY.—At Lincoln's Inn, on Wednesday, before the Master of the Rolls and Lords Justices Baggallay and Thesiger, this case came on again. The liagle- field Collmrv Company was registered in March, 1873, with a capital of £ 100,000, in 10,000 shares, and w; IS formed for the purchase Of a colliery in Flintshire. The directors agreed to pay Mr J. Sheridan, the promoter, o 1 per "nt upon the capital for preliminary expenses. The colliery was purchased by a nominee of Sheridan tor in cash and f 11.000 in shares, and was sold t. the company for t.,500 ill cash and £ 40,500 in shares. When only 1,569 shares had been sub- scribed for, the directors handed over £ t),o00 to Sheriltan for preliminary expenses, and out of that sum he paid £ 500 to each of the directors, with which they paid the call- upon 50 snares each for their (nullification as directors. L he company being wound 111), t.-loo was repaid by Lord R. Browne, the chairman of the company, and £ 150 by a director On a motion on behalf of the official liquidator tht all the directors mitrhtbe declared jointly and severally liable to repav the amount paid them by Sheridan, it was submitted by Mr Wingvovo. one of the directors, that Sheridan had agreed to pay hilll £ 500 for introducing Lord R. Urowne, the company being in want of a lord for their chairman, and that the sum he received for his s hares was therefore a debt due to him while for the other directors it was contended that Sheridan, having received in promoting the mipany, was at lil >erty to do what he Ihced with it, and to pay the calls upon the directors' shares if he thought it for the benefit of the company, who, in fact, got full con .;ide,'¡1ti. J1I for their money. Vice-Chancellor Malins considered that the directors had committed a gross breach of trust in receiving back from Sheridan, for the j purpose of paying for their own shares, the money which they had paid over to him out of the pro- | party of the company, and he therefore decJared the directors jointly and severally liable to repay the whole sum they had received, with interest1 at tive per cent., together with the costs of the application, upon the appeal by Mr AVingrove, I Mr Whitehouse, Q.C., for the appellant, Mr j Higgins, < >.(and Mr p, Beale for the official liquidator, were not called upon. Their lordships were unable to agree with that part of the Vice- Chancellor's judgment which charged Ml' Win- L'rove and his co-directors with fraud. There was nothing in the evidence to show that these gentlemen had done anything which they thought to I)e wrong at the time they did it. They were the deceived rather than the deceivers. But the Vice-Ch:mceIlnr was ju.?tined in finding there had been misappropriation of the moneys of the com- pany by the directors, who had failed to exercise !I"C"c--3 ?id reasonable skiH. Such moneys havingbeen ini-mplipiiwithor.t any ]e;al warrant, the order of the C'('?iirt ?Cil ?ot to be dis- turbed. The appeal would be di?misseti?iuh costs.

lw BUCKLEY. PRIMITIVE METHODIST TABERXACLE.—A series of fecial services are to be commenced here on next Sunday and continued every night during the following week. A WEDDING PARTY DTSAPPOTXTF.D.-It is a common saying" To go merry as a marriage bellbut a wedding party who went last Mon- day to Buckley Church doubtless felt anything j hut merry when on reaching the altar and being asked for the "certificates" it was found that although the ''banns'' had been proclaimed here, yet as the brid-Toom lived in another parish, and the banns had not been put up there, the! officiating minister refused to proceed with the ceremony, and the loving pair had to return as they came in a state of single blessedness, and in their experience verifying what has been S0! truthfully .?id, that Evil is wrought- h' (of tlioiig'I,lt As well as want of heart, The young couple-in this case—doubtless had plenty of heart," but failed at this tinie f!iii want )f thi oii A consultation was after-; wards held, and a visit paid to the nearest Registrar's office with reference to a special licence and it is to be hoped that ere this the two young people have joined hands for better or for worse" for the re--t of their lives, and that they may experience the truth of the old saying, A had beginning is a good ending." THE NORTH BUCKLEY COLLIERY COMPANY V. M ANX.—Sir Henry Hawkins has given judg- ment in this case. The action which had been tried at the Liverpool assizes, and afterwards i ai'gueit in Chambers, was brought to recover i from the defendant £ 250 in respect of a call of £ 10 per share upon 25 shares alleged to be held hy the defendant as a director in the company. The defendant denied that he was the holder of the shares. Under the original regulations of the company no share qualification was required by the directors, and the defendant, wh" had taken no shares ill the c.omnany, was i'l Nov., elected a director. Early in lN7o it was | proposed to alter the regulations or substitute j new ones, and a draft of the proposed new regu- lations was discussed at a meeting of the directors in March at which the defendant was present. .Subsequently meetings of the shareholders were j held, which the defendant did not attend, and after- wards another meeting of the directors at which the draft regulations were laid on the table, and j the resolution for their adoption discussed. The defendant attended this meeting, but never after- wards attended any meeting or acted as a director of the company. At one of the meetings of the shareholders the articles of association were adopted, the defendant being named one of the directors, and it was decided that the qualifica- tiot) for a director should be the holding of shares to the nominal value of V250, and that a director should cease to hold office on ceasing to hold the qualification. In June, 187' the share- holders resolved to willd up the company, but the defendant was not summoned, and did not attend the meeting. He was, however, placed on the list of eontribntories for 25 shares. It was contended on behalf of the plaintiffs that as the defendant attended the directors' meeting and acted as a director after the passing of the articles of association, he must be taken as hold- ing the shares in question. His Lordship said it had been clearly established that the mere ac- ceptance of the office of director did not make a man a shareholder in respect of the number of shares necessary to qualify him, nor did it establish a contract on his part to take such shares. His Lordship was of opinion that there was no evidence to support the plaintiffs' case, and therefore his verdict and judgment would be for the defendant. COEDPOETH AND MINERA. DEATH BY SCALDINO AT VRON OFFA.-On Wednesday at the City Arini an inquest was held by Mr Thelwall on the body of a child named Elizabeth Jones aged 3 years and 9 months, daughter of Edward Jones, collier, Vron. The only witne ss called was the mother, who said that on Saturday the child fell by the fire place, and knocked down over her a saucepan full of boiling water, which caused her death on Mon- day morning. The inother was severely repri- manded for carelessness by the Coroner, the jury returning a verdict of Accidental death. PEXTKE BAIS NEW ROAD.—It was generally believed that this affair was finally settled by the agreement which was recently come to by the contending parties. Accordingly Mr Louis sent Mr Davies, surveyor, to map out the pro- posed road across the mountain. He (lid this a short time since, and was accompanied by Mr Lester and others. But he had no sooner pegged out a road 20 feet wide, than Air Morris, who owns the adjoining land, proceeded at once to pull the pegs up again. The people were very patient, though very indignant. They are still .Jetermined to urge what they believe to be their just claims, and acting on the advice of their solicitor, legal proceedings will be immediately taken. FEXYCELLI BOARD SCHOOLS PKI/.KSCHEME FOR 1878. -The teachers are anxious to draw the atten- tion of patents to the following prizes which they propose giving with the assistance of the Boa!l and other friends, for the year ending September • 30th, 187H, in these schllok BOYS AMI (,'iiti.s. (a) First, second, and tMrd prizes in e:wh dcpnrt- ment, to boys ;UH! girls who will make the highest number of attemhnees during the year. f?J ¡''jrst and scronol prizes in eah h;lIlard for the! iMShestm?n?ln re?din?, writing, and arithmetic, Obtained at an examination held the week follow- ing the Government inspection. (c) In the first and second classes, one prize will he given for each of the following subjects— grammar, geography and needlework. (d) Certificates will lIe presented to those who pass the Government examination in the specific subjects. INFANT .SCHOOL. Twelve prizes will be presented in this department I to those children who will make the highest number of attendances daring the year. I In order not only to secure a. prize but also to ensure their children's progress in school, we would impress upon the parents the importance of paying the greatest attention to their regular find punctual atteii(ittilee-tn see that the home, lessons are always carefully and neatly done, and also that the children are supplied with the. necessary books. These points are most essential to progress in learning. Home lessons are given for the ?ood of the children and their importance in education cannot be over- estimated. Home lessons will help school work, and those who do their home lessons well, will certainly get on better than those who neglect them. Home lessons will form a habit in a child of ,s;lending his spare time with books and mental work. Therefore the teachers would- ask the co-operation of the parents and guardians of II their pupils to secure the careful working of the home lessons every night. Provide good pen, good ink, and a bit of m room on a table to work the lessons on, and this, with regular and punctual attendance, and supply of necessary books, will help greatly to improve the education of your children. I CEFN AND RHOSYMEDRE. THE "PROCEEDS from the concert in aid of the South Wales distress fund amounted to about ?23, which has been sent to Mr H. Richards, M.P. ENTERTAINMENTS.—The sixth entertainment was given on Monday evening in the English Baptist School, when Mr H. Brya.n presided, the capital programme being sustained by Messrs (>. Evans, E. Daniels, R. G. Price, M. T. Jones, Wm. Hughes, E. Bryan, and the choir- On Wednesday, an entertainment was ( YI,vell in the Tabernacle. The Chairman, the Rev. Wm. Edwards, at the opening, submitted the follow- ing resolution That the meeting views with great alarm the pro- posal of Her Majesty's Government for a grant of £ (),(K)0,000. it regards the action of the Government as fraught with the greatest possible danger to the interests of peace, and as destructive of the hopes the country has cherished of a just settlement of the questions which led to this war, particularly of those which affect the welfare "f the Christian population of the Turkish Empire, and it earnestly advises the prompt Use of all constitutional means to induce the Government to withdraw their proposal. The resolution was seconded by the Rev. J. R. Jones, and unanimously supported. A capital programme was then discussed, the performers including Mr A. Richards, Mr W. Jones, Mr Richard Matthews, Mr Wm. Griffiths, Mr D. Roberts, Mr John Griffiths, Miss A. Roberts, Mr J. B. Cook, Mr G. Evans, Mr E. Thomas, and Mr T. Davies' choir. DENBIGH. A DESERTER, named David Roberts, was I brought up on Wednesday, before Mr R. Lloyd Williams, and sent to gaol to await an escort from Ireland, where his regiment is now lying. He deserted at the beginning of this month. He is 22 years of age, and his soldierly bearing attracted the attention of Sergeant Lewis and led to his arrest. SALE (? PROPERTY AT Hi?LLA?.—On \Vedne; day, at the Roy:J Oak, Mr Armor offered f("r ?le a public-house called the Xew Inn," with a shop and seven cottages all in one lot. The I property belonged to Mr David Roberts, and is near tha church, in one of the principal streets of the village, the rental being £ 31 per annum. ) The bidding began by the hundred, ran up to £ 700, whence, by easier steps, it was finally knocked down atl:745 to the tenant of the inn (Mr Thomas Jones). Mr R. H. Roberts was the solicitor for the property. Two DRVXKS."—On Wednesday, being mar- ket fresh, William Williams, of Llansannan, in- stead of going towards home, strayed up to the lock-up, in Love-lane, and there made a noise till P.C. Wynne came up and kindly lodged him inside for the sake of peace. Having jlone this, the officer turned ami went down Vale-street, where he found Robert Jones, of Llandvrnog, also market fresh and noisy, and helped him up to the same hospitable residence, and on Thurs- day morning brought both before the Ex-mayor (Mr T. J. Williams), who in consideration of their nLrht's detention, let them off with ? Gd e;wh and costs. DINNER. A few friends and admirers of Mr Read, of Tynewydd, assembled at the Bllil Hotel on Monday evening, and partook of a capital dinner. After which, under the pre- sidency of the Ex-mayor (Mr T. J. Williams), with Mr Angel in the vice-cliair, the company presented Mr Reid with a gold albert chain, sup- plied by Mr H. Joyce, and an electroplate clock, aneroid barometer, inkstand, and pen tray. The occasion of this presentation was the removal of j Mr Read to take charge of the states of Mr Yorke of Dyffrvn Aled. The clock, &c" bore the inscription, Presented, together with a gold chain, to Mr Read, of Tynewydd, by a few friends and well-wishers, as a small token of esteem, January, 1878." r'p-ivF.XTATloxs. — On Thursday week a meeting of the cliol-l. z-,l friends was held at the Capel Mawr, to make a presentation to Mr E. Dry- hurst Roberts, late pupil teacher at Love Lane, who is leaving for Bangor Normal College. Mr Thomas Gee, mayor, occupied the chair, and ad- dresses were delivered by Mr Thomas Roberts, High-street, Mr Thomas Williams, Vale-street, Mr Edward Ellis, Board School, Mr Robert Ro- berts, Penmalpant, and others.—Mr Thomas Williams, hair dresser, presented Mr Roberts with a beautiful baton, and Miss C. Gee made the presentation of a metronome, both articles being given to mark the sense of the friends at the chapel of the services rendered by Mr Ro- berts in the able manner he had conducted the choir of the chapel for the last two years. Several songs were sung by the choir, and Mr J. M. Rowland, Fron, recite:! a piece of his own com- position. The Mayor complimented Mr Roberts upon the work he had done, and wished for him i a prosperous future. On Tuesday evening, J there was a ?athcrm? of Good Tem;J?r.s .-md others in the Tower Chapel, to bid farewell to Mr Roberts. Bro. E. T. Jones ably tilled the chair. Bro. W. C. Williams gave a reading, and Mary Lloyd recited" The first glass" very nicely. Bro. E. D. Roberts and Sister J. M. Jones sang a duet. After a few wotns in Eng- lish, Bro. Roberts sang a solo, and Sister Ellis Hughes gave a splendid recitation of The lips that touch liquor, &c." This was followed by the tailor and the shoemaker, Roberts and Thomas Hartley. Bro. J. J. Morris real Moun- ments," from John Plougham, and Miss Jones sang The rising of the lark." Sister Williams presented to Brother Roberts two volumes, elegantly bound, of Farrar'" Life of C'hnst." Sister Jones followed, and placed over his head ft beautiful regalia of the third degree or degree of charity. For these presents he returned thanks, and speeches, short and sweet, were given by Brethren T. Moyes, E'lwin Roberts, Edward Jones, T. Miller, and Robert GTiffiths, and David Williams wound up with a piece of poetry of his own composition. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the meeting. WESLEY AN CONCERT.—The Wesleyans of Den- bigh appear to conduct their services quietly and unostentatiously, and do not often make an ap- peal to the public. Last week, however, they announced that a grand concert would be given in the Assembly Rooms on Friday evening, for the benefit of the "VVesleyan Chapel, and under the distinguished patronage of the Mayor, Mr Chainbres, Dr. Tumour, Dr. Pierce, Mr J. Parry Jones, and others, also that the following eminent artistes had been engaged, viz., Mr Sauvage, Mr J. E. Roberts, Rhyl, Mr Frank Jones, London, Mr J. Thomas (Tenorydd y Bryniau), Miss Maggie .Tones, Miss J. M. Jones, and a glee party, with Mr J. Hinrichs and Master E. J. Angel as accompanists. This announcement would naturally draw a good house, as the players say, but it was supplemented by the following programme Song Tywysog Llewelyn," Mr J. Thomas Duett I know a bank," .Misses M. and J. M. Jones Comic song Mr J. E. Roberts Son ami cliorits Glee Party Recit Aria. "Thinks to my Brethren," How vain is -%ILn Nii- J,.ii-ne,; Sauvage Song.

It had the desired result, for the house was packed, except in that portion of the room where the poverty of the Corporation compels people to stand for want of seats. The actual realiza- tion was however scarcely up to the expectation, not that there is one word to be said against the performers, they all did well, and fully sustained their established reputation. But there was such looseness displayed, and such long intervals between many of the pieces, that the audience became not unnaturally impatient, and eagerly watched the door of the ante-room, hoping some- body might quickly emerge therefrom. So great was this delay that several pieces had to be omitted'altogether, and even then the proceedings did not finish till fully half-past ten. The Misses Jones were as usual very great favourites, and Mr J. Thomas established himself in the affec- tions of the audience. Mr Henrichs' playing was exquisite, and Mr E. J. Angel accompanied the pieces allotted to him with great taste and pre- cision. Mr Sauvae and Mr Frank Jones re- ceived their full meed of applause, indeed encores were unanimous, but were, except in one case, steadily resisted on account of the march of time. But we must not leave out Mr J. E. Roberts, of Rhvl. The congruity of comic songs in character with a concert for the benefit of ) a chapel may not be apparent to everyone, but unquestionably Mr Roberts and his comicalities, secured a larger attention then Mr Sauvage's How vai n is mail." or Mr Hinrichs' brilliant performances on the pianoforte, and pleased the gods" im- mensly. Mr D. Jones, Tanygraig, acted as manager and announced the pieces as they were given, he had a difficult task, and deserved a vote of thanks, which was not given. BOROUGH POLICE COURT, FRIDAY WEEK. —Before the Mayor (Mr Thomas Gee), the ex- Mayor (Mr T. J. Williams), Dr. A. E. Tur- nour, and Mr R. Lloyd Williams. Capt. Price (chief constable) was also present. St. Amph Union v. Hooke.-This case was ad. j journed from the last meeting, with a recommen- dation that the Guardians should reduce the amount to Is 6d per week, and allow twelve months to payoff the balance, and further that they should memorialize the Local Government Board to obtain if possible some cheaper and less cumbrous method of serving summonses in cases of poor law default; it being now necessary that a policeman or some other person should visit the place of abode, however far off. in order to prove the service of the summons.—Mr Grimsley now attended, and stated that the Board of Guardians had consented to accept Is 6d per week in future, and to allow Hooke twelve months to pay up the arrears. They had taken no action in the other recoininendation.Tlie Mayor said the Bench considered that the Guardians had acted kindly towards Hooke, and he regretted that they had not considered the other part of the recommen- dation, as the present mode of serving sum- monses in such cases was very expensive. The Bench did not blame either the Guardians or Mr Grimsley, their clerk, in the matter. The Letter-Stealing C(ise.-Williim Roberts, a youth of 15, was charged on remand with stealing coupons, of the value of £ 47 10s, or thereabouts. Mr John Davies appeared to prosecute, and he at once asked the Bench to deal leniently with the youth, as he had confessed all, and the Rev. H. Humphreys, the prosecutor, (lid not wish the case to go to the Sessions.—Mr Humphreys now stated that the coupons which were found had been identified, and the numbers of the missing ones f,,iven- they were 40,543 and 4!),948 Russian, 80,602 and 25S1 Portugese, and 5118, 88,690, and 88,691 United States.—The prisoner, in reply to the Bench, said lie had taken the letter fiom the bag himself, and not the servant, as he had said before. He took it to the stable and opened it, and Mr Humphreys had had all he got except two, with which lie had lighted his pipe, and some he had put in the fire in the saddle room.— Thomas Roberts, postmaster, Trefnant, deposed that on the loth ilist. he put a registered letter into Mr Humphrey's bag, and told the postman about it, and that he was to bring a receipt.— Isaac Davies, letter carrier, said he did not see the letter, but when he left the bag at the Vicar- age he told the servant girl he should want a re- ceipt for a letter which was in the bag. He hung it on a nail outside the door where lie always did. It was not locked. On returning, asked for the receipt, and was told there was none for him. Told the postmaster at Trefnant .,o.-The Mayor, in passing sentence, said it was a serious offence, and prisoner was liable to two years' imprison- ment, but the sentence of the court would be six months' hard labour, which was the lightest they could irrflict. It was a sad thing to see a boy of that age who had contracterl the habit of smoking and could coolly light his pipe with the contents of a stolen letter. He warned prisoner against the course he seemed to be pursuing. He also thought the postmaster should insist upon having a receipt upon the same day on which the regis- tered letter was sent out, if he had done so this robbery might have been prevented. His wor- ship also strongly recommended that the letter bag should be locked, and left in some more secure place than on a nail outside the door. ami —Robert Jones. Llan- sannan; Isaac Roberts, Wm. Williams, Gewrn and another William Williams, an old man from I li I)e i n,? ( I riiii k in( I Llanefydd. were charged with being drunk and noisy at Henllan.—Each fined 2s (3d and costs. The Bench directed the police to take action against the publicans who had turned these men out in a drunken state, remarking that those who reap the profits ought to bear a share of the costs.
THE VOLUNTEER AND HUSSARSI…
THE VOLUNTEER AND HUSSARS OFFICERS' BALL. The ball of the Officers of the 3rd Denbigh Rifle Volunteers and the Denbigh Troop of Hussars took place in the County Hall on Thurs- day night. The Hall was profusely decorated with swords, scabbards, bayonets, ramrods, cut- lasses, and other articles of a warlike character, and pre:;ent'd a very tine appearance, doing great credit to Sergt. Masters, the sergeant instructor of the corps, and Mr Tims. Dew. Mr Dew had made the floor bright and slippery, and a number of flowers from the hothouses of Llysmeirchion, kindly ^eilt by Mr Chanibres, helped consider- ably in the adornment of the room. Mrs .Tared Jones supplied the supper room, which was laid out with all the elegance and taste for which she is celebrated. Some amateur ladies very kindly assisted in the work of this room. The cloak- rooms were as usual under the charge of Mr and Mrs Tiios. Dew respectively. The company present included Lieutenant J. Parry .Tones, Mr John Davies, solicitor Mr William Morgan, Rhyl; Mr J. M. Batho, Lieutenant J. Lloyd Roberts, Captain Broughton, St. Asaph Mr Salisbury, Chester; Major C'asson, Air W.

ANNUAL MEMTIXG OF THE DENBIGHSHIRE…
ANNUAL MEMTIXG OF THE DENBIGH- SHIRE INFIRMARY. The 70th annual meeting of this institution was held in the Beard Room on Thursday. There were present :—Capt. Mesham, president for the year, in the chair, Revs. W. Hicks Owen and E. Smart, Messrs. T. Gold Edwards, R. Williams, T. Evans, R. Harrison, J. R. Heaton, Oliver Burton, W. D. W. Griffiths, Tlios. Cas- sons, Jno. Davies, R. H. Roberts, J. Parry- Jones, jun., Dr. Tumour, Dr. J. Lltlyd Roberts, Dr. Pritehard, house sury-eon, and Mr W. Vaughan Jones, secretary. The president called upon the Rev. E. Smart to reu.d the 70th annual UKPOUT OF COMMITTEE Number Of in-patient* iliii-ing IS" was 100, a slight decrease on previous year, 199 out-patients num- bered 17-7 as compared with 1495. Income from sub- scriptions £;1 17s fid, which is one fourth of the total annual expenditure. The Committee gratefully refer to the general donations, amounting to £ !{;)!) Us (id, amongst the donors lieins; many old friends of the charity. In consequence of this timely assistance, the outgoings for the year were met without resorting to their capital. This assistance is, however, exceptional, and the committee again appeal for increased sub- scriptions. A lc):(:tcy (If .t;;jOtl was acknowledged from the late Mr Hugh 1), Griffiths, Caerhun. Improve- ments in the internal economy of the house were effecte(I last year by better accommodation for the servants and nurse. During this year the wards must he repaired and corridors, and to renew a portion of the roofs. It is contemplated to construct a disin- fecting chamber. It is hoped the governors and sub- scribers will consider the existing regulations for ad- mission of patients, about which recently a circular was issued to the efÏèd that the attention of nb- scribers be called to rule No. 2, for if it be not observed, the committee will have to :mbmit new rules of recommendation for more effectually re- gulating the distribution of tickets by the sub- scribers. The present rule is, that subscribers of 10s fid should have one patient on the books at a time, and subscribers of £ 1 Ids two patients. It was found that patients seldom apply to subscribers in the country, but to those resident near the infirmary, who, therefore, issue tickets greatly in excess of their privileges. The new system of issuing to out patients at Id each graduated bottles has given satis- faction in regulating the dispensary and economising drugs. Diet sheets have been introduced, by which food and spirits ordered will be accurately given, and a saving in this department is expected. Thanks were given to the rector and curates of Denbigh for Sunday services and week day visits. In March last, .)Ir Prichard, NI.B., was elected house surgeon, and has given much satisfaction, and the medical officers hope his services will be continued to the institu- tion. The President moved the adoption of the re- port. It seemed to him to be a most satisfactory one, and he was glad to see that the funds were on a better footing than they had been for some years past, and he hoped that state of things Would continue. In one thing he was SOrry tO notice a falling off, and that was in parish church collections. Every parish s hould, in his opinion, have what may be called Hospital Sun- day, so that every parishioner should have the opportunity to give something towards that ex- cellent institution. He had much pleasure in moving the adoption of the report.—Mr J. R. Heaton seconded the motion. He had increased his subscription by one-third, as a challenge to others, but he was sorry to see it had not been taken up.—The report and account of the com- mittee of management were then unanimously adopted. The customary votes of thanks were accorded to the President for the year (Captain Mesham), and to Mrs Rowley Conwy, the Lady Patroness, also to the medical officers, the Committee of Management, and the Stewards of Districts, and the Rector and curates of Denbigh for their 1 Sunday services.

Mr J.

Mr W. H. Buddicom, Penbedw, we forgot to say, was elected President for the ensuing year. FLINT. PROPERTY SALE.—On Wednesday, Messrs Churton, Elphick, and Co., offered for sale the old-established public-house known as the Miners' Arms. There was a large attendance, and after a spirited contest the property was knocked down to Mr Lloyd Price, of Holywell, at I:fj:lo. ITINERANT SINGERS.— At the Borough Police Court, on Monday (before P. A. Mawdsley, Esq.), John Collin and Thomas Guines, two young fellows who travel the country as singers and clog dancers, were charged with being drunk and disorderly, and were each committed for seven days. ALLEGED TIIPI:T.-Edwar(I Jones is in custody charged with stealing a number of shovels from a shed in the Copper Works of fessrH Muspratt. Sergeant Ward succeeded in recovering some of the stolen shovels, and apprehended the prisoner on the charge. He was taken before J. Henry, Esq., and remanded to Monday. FLINT CHCIICH BEU.—1The bell-ringers have recently been handsomely rewarded for their services during the past year. It is well to see services—if pleasant, yet somewhat arduous— appreciated by the tradesmen and gentry of the town and neighbourhood. The ringers are Messrs Ben. George, Price Jones, Richard Jock- son, John Jones, Thomas Griffiths, Henry Ash- I croft, and Parry Jones. ANNI'AL DINNER.—On Saturday, the em- ployes of the North Wales Paper Company, Oakenholt, held their fifth annual dinner in connection with their Sick and Relief Club, at the Menai Bridge Tim, Pentre. The manager's son, Mr Charles X. Hull, presided, and the vice-chair was filled by Mr Edward Jones, trea- surer, who read the report, which showed the club to be in a highly satisfactory state, the sur- plus for the past year over the reserve fund de- fraying the entire cost of the dinner. After the cloth was removed the usual toasts were pro- posed and duly honoured, a vote of thanks heing returned to the president and vice-president. After singing the National Anthem, the com- pany dispersed, after having spent a most enjoy- able evening. The catering of Mr and Mrs Davies was excellent, and much commended. There were present, in addition to those above mentioned, Messrs Knight, Cupper Works, W. H. Hull, John Parry, junior, Oakenholt, and Mr Thomas Campbell, &C. COUNTY COURT, WEDNESDAY. Before Horatio Lloyd, Esq., judge. Aa-wiltiii'/ a Countll Court B(i ili!T -,Tt)lirl and Martin Bulger, father and son, were summoned to show cause why they should not be committed for contempt of court for assaulting a bailiff in the discharge of his duty. Mr H. Goodman Roberts, for defendants, said that it was im- possible that the father, who was an old man, and suffering from heart disease, could have com- mitted the assault, and the goods in the house belonged to his son.—Mr Cornfortli said the senior defendant had lived in the house for years, and was entered in all the official borough docu- ments as tenant, and the attempt to say that the young man was tenant was simply foolish. A bailiff that morning attempted to take possession, when he was threatened with a brick.—His Honour considered it necessary to commit Martin Bulger until this contempt of court was purged. Before the court rose, defendant expressed his contrition and was liberated. Inter/lender.—Mtmitii r. Pt. T. Messrs Muspratt, Brothers and Huntley, claim- ants. This was an interpleader issue raised by the High Bailiff. The plaintiff had recovered a judgment against the defendant, and levied execution upon his effects upon his premises in Chester-road, of which the claimants were the landlords. Mr Taylor appeared on their behalf, and proved the tenancy, and the rent due at the time of seizure. The bailiff admitted the service of notice of claim of rent.—The plaintiff said it was a hard case that he must go to the expense of obtaining judgment and levying execution, then to find that the landlord claimed for rent almost the amount realised.—His Honour gave a verdict for the claimants. Complaints (Pjainut a Bailiff.—Mr H. Goodman Roberts drew the attention of the court to the fact that there were two plaintiffs in court who had entered actions against the bailiff of the Rhyl court, but no return had been made to the summonses, and therefore the eases could not be heard. He asked that the bailiff should be called upon to show cause for this neglect.—His Honour said if the bailiff had taken advantage of his position to avoid service it was a very dis- graceful thing, and it should be seen into. The matter must be looked into more carefully than an ordinary case, for he could not allow an officer of the court to take advantage of his posi- tion in that way, and if the officers did not dis- charge their duties there was an end to their use- fulness. He ordered that the bailiff in question should be called upon to show cause for this il- legal neglect. Claim I'pun an I.O.U.-Thomas Williams, Buckley, sued Edward Griffiths for J3 8s M on an I.O.U. for money advanced in hard cash, and of which defendant had only repaid Is Gd.—Mr G. E. Trevor-Roper, for the defence, contended that the present claim was involved in a contract between the parties for work.—Judgment for plaintiff. A Builder's Claim.—Thomas Barclay v. John Jones.—The parties in this case are builders and reside at Mold, and the action was to recover BM 6s 8.1 balance due for work done. Mr H. Goodman Roberts was for plaintiff, and Mr I Roper defended. It appeared that the defendant took the work of erecting a wall near Mold rail- way station from the Railway Company, and sub let it to plaintiff at 3s 4d per cubic yard. The plaintiff had been paid various sums, and accord- ing to the measurements supplied by defendant the balance now claimed was still due. For the defence it was contended that under an agree- ment between the parties 10 per cent was to be retained until the work was approved of by the Company's surveyor, and this had not yet been done.—His Honour non-suited the plaintiff, but gave no opinion as to the merits of the case. Insurance of a Vessel.—The Dee Ship Mutual Insurance Company v. T homas Bennett.—This was an action to recover the sum of k3 2s from the defendant, being a call and interest due to the company.—Mr Cartwright, Chester, repre- sented the company.—Mr James Reney, secre- tary, produced the certificate of the incorpora- tion of the company, and said the defendant was an insurer in the company to the amount of KGOO for the ship Sarah Ellen. In the end of the year 1876 they had partial losses with three vessels, and in due course those losses were brought be- fore the directors of the company, and it was found necessary to make a call of 10s per share on the insurers in the company to cover those losses. This call the defendant refused to pay, and hence the present proceedings. As a matter of fact they had paid to Mr Bennett a large sum of money for losses.— The defendant alleged that the company owed him £ 1)9 for losses he had sus- tained by the Sarah Ellen, and he objected to paying money to people who were indebted to him.—Judgment for the plaintiff with costs. A Jxew Trial.—Mr ft. Goodman Roberts applied for leave to give notice at the next court for a new trial in an interpleader issue affecting the goods of a person named Mertz, a jeweller, at Mold, in which Mr Dewsbury, of Chester, was the execution creditor. Mr Mason (Chester), on behalf of the latter, opposed the application, which, however, his Honour granted, A Claim and Counterclaim.—The North Wales Paper C??Mf?/ r. Janm Nkhu/an.—Mr Henry Taylor was for the plaintiff company, and Mr M?on defended. It appeared that Mr Hull, the manager of the paper mill sold the defendant ap quantity of scrap Iron, and there were alsn some transactions respecting coal and slack, which ended in a balance being due from the defendant of £ 4 lis 6d, which the company now sought to recover. The defendant pleaded a set- off of 1:6 for commission upon the sale of some old machinery, but this claim the plaintiff's manager entirely repudiated, and said that it was simply an impertinent claim.—The defend- ant did not appear personally, and judgment was ?iven for plaintiff, but no opinion was exj)resse? as to the set-off. (7fM<? Arrangements.—His Honor intimated, for the convenience of the professional gentle- men pracusmg in the court that henceforth he would not take any defended actions before one o'clock in the afternoon. HOLT AND FARNDON. T* r-.vANOELisTic OERVICES.—iliese were held at j the Baptist Chapel, Holt, on Sunday afternoon and Tuesday evening last. The officiating I ministers were the Revs. J. B. Morgan and J. Berry, of Shrewsbury. The meetings were fairly attended, and it is hoped good results will follow. The Baptist interest in this town has for some time been rather low and fluctuating, but of late it seems to have revived a little. AN AMATEUR CONCERT took place on Wed- nesday evening week in Farndon National School. The proceeds, which amounted to about B5, are to be devoted to augment the funds of Farndon Church. The chair was occupied by the Rev. B. W. Johnstone. The programme was gone through very creditably, it being sup- ported by the Misses Johnstone, Mrs Arnold, Miss Green, Miss Maud Stephens, Rev. C. W. Streatfeild, Rev. A. P. Holmes, Mr J. Beard, Mr C. May, and Dr. Thelwall. HOPE AND OAERGWRLE. LECTURE.—A most interesting lecture was de- livered on Monday night at the Welsh Indepen- dent Chapel, Caergwrle, by Mr C. Hill, London. The subjectchosen was Your side and ourside," and in the course of his remarks the lecturer related several amusing anecdotes, which kept the audience in constant merriment all the even- ing.—The Chapel was nearly full. CONCERT AT PENYFEORDD.—An amateur con- cert was held on Monday evening in the Board Schools, Penyffordd, for the purpose of raising funds wherewith to give the school children a treat. There was a large and appreciative audience, the schoolroom being quite full. Mr F. A. Frost presided. The programme was inaugurated with "God bless the Prince of Wales." the first verse of which was sung in English by Miss Lewis, Minera, and the second in Welsh by Mr Hugh Roberts, the chorus being well taken up by the glee party. The Spelling Bee" by Mr J. Davies took very well. )lb:; I Lewis was very happy in her song, "I'm a merry zingara" and in reply to an encore gave Some- body's coming to-morrow." She was also encored in her song She wore a wreath of roses," The I duetts by Mrs Lamb, and Mr H. Roberts, were effectively rendered, "Very Suspicious" being encored. Mrs Lamb sang I love the merry nshine," which was loudly applauded. Four Jolly Smiths" was well sung by Mr Phennah, his next song That's not the man for me," being rapturously encored, when he repeated the same in Welsh, Call John," is an amusing piece, which was re-demanded. Miss Evans sang re- markably well, being encored inhersong "W on't you tell me why Robin"? Mr M. Lewis possesses a powerful voice and fairly brought down the house, in his song "rma roamer," Miss Williams sang in her usual goorl manner, and in her song "The Blind Girl," received an encore. Mr I Ledsham sang his songs in good style, as also did Mr Lambert. London Cries" excited roars of laughter. Mr J. Jones accompanied all the songs &c. in an excellent manner. After the usual vote of thanks to the chairman and singers, the National Anthem brought the meeting to a close. HOLYWELL. VAGRANCY.—At Whitchurch, on Friday week, Edwin Williams, of Holywell, charged with begging, was committed to prison for 21 days, with hard labour. DOWNING.—It is stated that Sir Andrew Walker's lease of Downing is about expiring, and that he will soon give up his beautiful country seat near this town. BAZAAR.—The bazaar at the English Congre- gational Church was highly successful, the chapel being now entirely free from debt with a balance of some pounds in the hands of the treasurer. PRESEXTATIOK.-On Friday evening week, a meeting of the congregation of Holy Trinity Church, Greenfield, presided over by the Rev. D. Morris, was held to present to Mr J. W. Gardiner, honorary organist, with a testimonial in recognition of his ability and assiduity, this being the second occasion during the three years he has held the position that the congregation have substantially acknowledged his services. The testimonial took the form of a very handsome barrel timepiece, on a massive marble pedestal, with malachite flutings. Mr Warren made the presentation, which Mr Gardiner suitably ac- knowledged. FLINTSHIRE DISPENSARY.— The fifty-third annual meeting of this institution was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. 0. Williams presiding. The accounts for the year were certified as being correct, there being a balance in hand of E44 12s 2d. The patrons, presidents and vice-presidents, and committee were re-appointed, and Mr Edwd. Jones, Tower Gardens, was appointed a trustee. The salary of the house surgeon, Mr W. T. Dinnen, was increased by C20 per annum. SOIREF.-Tiie. annual soiree of the Y.M.C.A. came off on Monday, and resulted in a wry pleasant gathering. The company assembled in the school-room, New Road, and dancing com- menced shortly after nine o-clock, and was kept up throughout with energy and good spirit. Mr S. Holgate kindly undertook the duties of master of the ceremonies, which he discharge(I I most satisfactorily. Capital dance music was played by Messrs. C. Evans, pianoforte Ed\ Edwards, violin; and James Hughes, piccolo. Refreshments were provided by Mrs Hughes, of the Rock Inn. SUNDAY SCHOOL SERVICES.—On Sunday, the Welsh Independents held their annual Sunday School services. Mr J ohn Brittain presided at the morning meeting, and delivered an address suitable to the occasion. The school was examined in Welsh spelling by Mr Isaac Roberts (Mynyddwr), and the correctness was very marked. An address was then delivered hy Mr William Williams, Greenfield Mills. Cate- chising was undertaken by Mr John Williams, and the ready answers given to the questions by the children showed a considerable amount of training. In the afternoon the meet- ings was resumed, Mr Owen Williams presiding; j and the most important part of this service was the examination of the senior scholars upon the 6th chapter of Matthew. Mr Isaac Roberts was the president of the evening meeting, which was very numerously attended. Mr Edward Parry, Bryncellyn, delivered an impressive a.d,lress I upon the ail vantages to be derived from attend- ance at the Sunday -School. Another address was given by the Rev. David Oliver. The middle classes were examined by Mr Isaac Wil- Hams. j HOLYWELL MEN IN LONDON.—A very interest- ing article appears in y/? ?)?)fi', prompted by a concert which was given by the Rye Lane Glee Societv, Peckham, London, in aid of the Pension Society. The glee society is entirely composed of the employes of Messrs Jones and Higgins, drapers (the senior partner being son of Mr Robert Jones, Brynyffynnon House, Holywell). Among the drapers7 houses of South London, j the article states, which have made greatest headway during recent years, few can boast of! outstripping the large and rapidly extended es- tablishment of Messrs .Tones and Higgins, live Lane, Peckham," and such is the progress made by this enterprising firm that its immense busi- ness premises are among the objects of interest | in South London. The glee society is formed in the house," is conducted by Mr Levi Jones (brother of the senior partner), and the article states that his merit as a musical conductor can scarcely be too highly extolled. We should say very few could train a raw body of amateurs and bring theiiiso successfully through so many llif- ficult pieces." The concert was attended by over GOO persons, and was an eminent success. LLANGOLLEN. THE LOCAL POLICE FORCE were entertained to a substantial dinner at the Royal Hotel, on Tuesday by the kind hospitality of Mr W. Morgan. t THE REV. JOHN MORRIS having resi.gned the charge of the Llang-ollen and Trevor Congrega- tional Churches, a meeting was held on Wednes- day evening week,at which purses of money were presented to Mr Morris by Mrs Evans, (widow of the Rev. E. Evans), Cambrian-terrace, on behalf of Llangollen Church, and on behalf of Trevor Church by Mr David Jones. THE PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY.—Among the successful candidates at the recent preliminary examination of the above society, we are glad to find the name of Master J. E. Jones, who was prepared for the examination by Dr. Ellis, Tower Hall School, Llangolley. During the last year four of Dr. Ellis' pupils have passed this examination, while three others have passed College and University Examinations. A RECOGNITION MEETING was held at Peny- bryn English Baptist Chapel, on Wednesday week, on the settlement of the Rev. Dr. Ellis, of Ruthin, as pastor of the church. After the customary tea," Mr Coward took the chair, and welcomed Dr. Ellis, who suitably responded. Addresses were also delivered by the Rev. Hugh Jones, D.D., Rev. Gethin Davies, Rev. Mr Welshford, Mr Simon Jones, Wrexham, and others. HIGHWAY BOARD.-Tlie quarterly meeting of this Board was held on Friday. A general statement of accounts for the year ending 31st December, 1877, was produced, showing the total expenditure for the year to be 0,185 Is 2id. It Was also resolved that warrants for a gross sum of 21, 000 be issued for payment of that sum on the 1st day of March next, and that the surveyor's annual report be produced, and con- sidered at the next meeting. It was agreed that the future meetings of the Board be held at the New Inn, Glyn. LOCAL BOARD. -Tliiirs(],,ty week.-Present Mr S. G. Fell, (Chairman), Major Tottenham, Captain Best, Messrs E. H. Roberts, Ed. Roberts, Samuel Hughes, Thomas Hughes. Charles Richards, Clerk. The Esfinwte,-The Chairman said that he had thought it prudent to convene this meeting in order that the estimate might he further con- sidered, completed and signed. The Clerk had stated that a certain district had been set apart, Within which area the amount of rate necessary to cover the expenditure connected with the Waterworks had to be levied and raised. If that were so, it would make a considerable difference in some of the items in the estimate, as they had been drawn out on the principle that if the amount were raised from any portion of the Local Board District, it would answer the same purpose. A long discussion took place, and ul- timately the total amount of water rateasshownin the estimate was altered, according to the basis laid down by the Clerk.—Mr Richards called attention to another item, which lie said was in- correct, namely, the amount of £ 21 which had been put down to meet the expenses connected with the waterworks, the average under that head for the last three years being 280.-The Chairman inquired why this information was not given sooner. He had applied in the office for last year's balance sheet, but the answer lie had was that he had better go to Mr Hugh Jones, Advertiser Office, and get a copy of the paper, in which the balance sheet of the Board had been published.—The estimate was then passed. It j provides for payments amounting to S1262 Gs 9d, the receipts being set at £12(12 6s 9d. The Nell Ctei-k-The Chairman said he should like to know from the Clerk whether he had written to Mr Parry Jones, conveying to him the resolution of the Board in reference to his ap- pointment as clerk. Mr Richards having replied in the negative, Mr Fell asked why he had not done it ? Mr Richards said there was no formal I resolution passed that it should be done. The I Chairman said it needed nothing of the kind, as ) it was simply his duty as clerk of the Board to transmit the resolutions passed their meetings. Mr Richards replied that the Board, having l«ft the matter in the hands of Messrs. Longueville, Jones, and Williams, he would take his instruc- tions from them. The Chairman said that their solicitors had transferred the matter to the Board as would be seen by their letter inserted in the minutes, and now the Board had nothing to do with any solicitors but with Mr Richards as clerk. Captain Best said it was ridiculous and simply childish to go on in that way. He would give notice that at the next meeting he would move that the clerk write immediately to Mr Parry Jones, informing him of his appointment. He would put the terms of his motion in writing, and send it to the office on the following dav PETTY SESSIONS.—Tuesday.—Before Capt. Barnes (chairman), Major Tottenham and G. Ll. Dicken, Esq. A witness charged ivith Perjury:—In an a ffili- ation case brought by Elizabeth Hughes, for- merly of Garth, Trevor, against John Bates, Cefn Mawr, Richard Bates, brother of defendant, gave evidence contradicting that given by the mother of the complainant, to the effect that he had never been at the house of the latter in Nantyr, nor had ever seen the old woman until that day in court. The mother's evidence being eonfirmed by a witness, Thomas Jones, who happened to be in court. Mr Bull, who ap- peared for complainant, applied for an order to keep Richard Bates in custody, until he should find sureties for his appearance to answer to the charge of perjury. Mr Sherratt strongly argued against adopting that course, but the Bench having retired for a short tmie, the Chairman said that they had decided to keep Bates in cus- tody until the morning, when lie would be re- leased on condition that his father would enter into his recognizance to the amount of 2100 for his appearance at the next assizes to answer to the charge of perjury. This case occupied about four hours.—Mr Swetenham, barrister, instruct- j ed by Mr Sherratt appeared for the defence.

The defendant stood in the road with his coat off. and as com- plainant came up the defendant truck him down and then kicked him. They were close neigh- bours, but had not spoken for IS months.—Isaac Griffiths said he found the complainant on the ground, and the defendant upon him. He took him off, and picked the complainant up, where- upon the defendant struck him down and then kicked him.—The defendant denied the story altogether, and called John Morris, who said th:'t the complainant went into a house and stripped, Then he called for the defendant, asking him where lie was, and a scuffle ensued. He could not tell who struck the first blow.—B. Edwards corroborated the statement of Morris, and the case was dismissed. All Unnatural Mother.—Mary Ann Roberts, tt young woman of one or two and tNve,-ity, charged with exposing her newly-born child, thereby endangering its life. Mr D. C. C. Adams said that the defendant stopped at Cham- ber wen as servant,and on the last day of the old year, while the inmates were away, she was con- fined of a male child. Four or five hours after- wards she took the child and laid it on the door step of the house of Thomas Matthews, of tie Nant.* Matthews hearing the cries got iii) and took the child in. Suspicion faIling- on the de- fendant, she was fetched, and admitted leaving the child where it had been found, and said in excuse that its father lived there, and she thought he was the fittest to take care of i t.- Thomas Mathews said that on New Year's Eve about 10 o'clock, he heard the cries of a baby, the noise awakened him, and he went down aiidopem d the door, and found a bundle of rags in which was a Imby. It was wrapped in the cover of all old umbrella, witness took the child into the the house and nursed it a considerable time. His wife, soon after, went to Chamber wen to fetch the defendant, believing she was the mother. He had not spoken to the defendant but once in his life and that was about twelve months ago, nothing had been done to the child, which had not been washed after its bl-i-tii.-P. C. Hugh Williams said on the following day he went to Chamber wen and found the defendant in bed with the child at her breast, He asked her why she had left the child on the door step, at; Nant, and she replied because the fathsr of the child, Edward Matthews, lived there. He asked her was there anyone with her when she was con- fined, and she replied no, s he did it all herself. She further told him that she was clnibeL1 about six o clock in the afternoon, and took the child to Nant about ten. and walked back. Then she re- turned to the Nant and took back the child to Chamber well soon after midnight. The defend- ant had been in the workhouse at Holywell since.— —The defendant then made c, long statement to the Bench admitting all that had been said, but complained very much that s he had been com- pelled to go out into the cold by the policeman with insufficient clothing. She had had a child before, which was now in the Holywell Union.— The Magistrates thought she did not intend to damage the child, though leaving it as she flift was equivalent to murder, and if anything' happened to the child in future s he would be held responsible for it and probably sent to gaol. SmeariW! at Commit'* Quay.—Richard Grimes and Henry Goodman were charged with this offence, and filled OS each. Pailwai/ Offence.—Williani Ball was summoned: for wilfully obstructing a railway èIHplnyé while ill the performance of his duty. Robt. Edwards said he was collecting tickets at Khydymwyn.

CHESTER COUNTY COURT.
CHESTER COUNTY COURT. THURSDAY, JANUARY 31ST. Before Horatio Lloyd, Esq., Judge. LEATHER LACEs, This was a case in which Mr Gregg, geneial dealer, Chester, sued Mr F. 1.. Sootei.,e)-. dealer, of Holywell, to recover the sum of i'S 17s Od., the value of 2 of laces sold by plain- tiff to defendant, in September, 1j7. Mr wright, for the plaintiff, said the plaintiff traveller, Mr Morgan, called upon Mr Scotcher and mentioned that Mr Gregg had ill stocli a job lot of laces, he thought about 20 gross but Ill: j could not pledge himself to the exact quantity, j He produced a sample and Mr Scotcher em-eed to take what was in stock. The order was forward- ed, and the lot of laces in stock consisted of -o:r;e 50 gross which included a superior quality and length of lace to the specimen left with Mr Scotcher; so that, in pomt of fact, the laces were of a better quality than were bargained tor, The goods were packed np, invoiced, and sent direct by the London and North Western Kail- way, the carriage to be paid by Mr Scotcher. Some little time afterwards the defendant to the plaintiff saying that lie would not take the good s in at all, as they exceeded the quantity he expected. That was right enough, although he should have informed the plaintiff earlier than he did. On a subsequent occasion, the plaintiff's traveller again called upon Mr Scotcher, with whom he had a conversation respecting the bees, which Mr Scotcher said were too many for him, tlie result of the conversation being that the de- fendant agreed to receive them, which he did, and paid for the carriage. The defendant n t.iiiu. I the laces for some little time and then wrote stating that the quality was so bad thai he should have to return them all. The transac- tion therefore, had extended from Septem- ber until January, and he, (Mr ('artwright; contended that there was a clear contrast on the ¡' part of Mr Scotcher perfonned on dh- pa;t of the plaintiff, and agreed to hy the dei end-1 ant, who was not at liberty to return the v. hole of the ?oods in this luanner.—Mr Mor?n, traveMer to the plaintiff, gave evidence in sup- port of this statement, and James Williams, hi I the employ of the plaintiff, said lie despatched- the laces to the defendant onthe:)thSeptem'e!. j The invoice was sent and a letter stating ti.;vr> j they had taken the liberty of sending, in addition to his or d er of 21. an d also 31i 4!.) ,L to Ius 0)'1 er.or "Ee. all; ,1,),:l ,,0 ,t) aJ!11 '1'.I .t the same price the quantity sent being oO gross | ten-twelfths in all, amounting to S8 17s lid, a-i;d the half gross left as a sample with the defendant were not charged for. The letter stat id that if | the defendant could not do with them all to takr his quantity out and return the remainder.—Mr Oartwright said the plaintiff wrote 1,,1 Mi Scotcher telling him the package was at the I' Railway Station, and asking him to take out the quantity he required. A letter from Mr Scoteiie;- (put In)stated that he would certainly not have taken into his shop, for one moment, tn? "rubbish styled shoe-ht.ees." and he was sur- pnsed ¡tt the plaintiff sending JlIm urh t]Jl!I; which he returned carriage pi", ,ul,!é( tlJl I would not give the amount oithe .'??e (f?'J for the whole lot, ba? and tM-?e.

The "101"1 was taken at Holywell, and the case should hale been heard there, as th" ddi very at V,.a, only constructive. The whole cast turned imon the question of sum file to a hich the hulk nltt equal. -'I'Ile Defendant was then called, and in reply to his honour, said the laces sent to "iln were "rotten an,1 snapped like adding that he would not imve them a."i t His Honour said he should like to see the himself, and the Package having been sent ftii, from the Railway Station Ins Honour said he considered the laces \Ure really not u kt any tradesman could be reasonably expected to tak in, and that justice would bemet by his ivi, judgment for the defendant, and inakiilc.. order as to costs.
