A meeting of the committee of this society took place on the 17th ult. to decide when the annual meeting should take place, and also where it should be held. A deputation from Marton attended to press their claim upon the com- mittee, and showed that suitable land for ploughing, draining, fencing, &c., could be obtained at an easy dis tance from the village. It was finally decided that the meeting shonld be held at Marton during the month of October, the day to be fixed at a future meeting. It was also decided to request General Herbert to be president for the present year, and a reply in the affirmative has since been received by the honorary secretary of the society, Mr. J. Shuker.

10 THE OSWESTRY MEMBER OF THE "LONG FIRM" SENTENCED TO SEVEN YEARS' PENAL SERVITUDE. At the Coventry adjourned sessions, held in the County Hall on June 29th, before Mr T. C. S. Kynnerslev, Deputy-chairman, William Ridgway (35) was charged with having, on the 25th and 27th August, 1870, obtained from Thomas James Mercer, watch manufacturer, Coventry, two silver watches, value £ 9 14s., with intent to defraud. The prisoner was also charged with having, on the 12th May, 1871, obtained of Charles John Hill, watch manufacturer, Coventry, a gold watch, value £ 6 18s., also with intent to defraud. The prisoner, who pleaded not guilty, was defended bv Mr Soden. The prosecution was conducted by Mr Dugdale. The circum- stances of the case were recently reported in these columns. The prisoner, it will be remembered, issued business memoran- dums, dated from Meifod, Montgomeryshire, in which he re- presented himself to be a wholesale dealer in London, Bir- mingham, Sheffield, and Staffordshire goods. In this as- sumed capacity he requested Mr Hill to send him price lists of his goods, which he did. He subsequently asked him to send him samples of his goods, promising that payment should be made on receipt, his terms being cash prompt." The result was that Mr Hill, believing him to be in the way of business he represented, sent him a gold watch, value X6 18s. In the same way, dating from Oswestry, and repre- senting himself to be a wholesale glass and china merchant, he obtained from Mercer two silver watches. Neither Mr Mercer nor Mr Hill had obtained a farthing of payment from the prisoner, and it was shown in evidence that he had no such business in Meifod as he ^represented—that he had re- sided there for a few days at a public-house. The prisoner was better known at Oswestry, where ho had carried on a small crockery business at about the date of his correspon- dence with Mr Mercer. It was also shown that the prisoner had pawned at Manchester, on the 1st June, the watch he had received from Mr Hill. The jury found the prisoner guilty. at the same time intimating that the prosecutors had not used sufficient caution in their dealings. A further count in the indictment was then read, charging the prisoner with having been convicted in the year 1864, at the General Quarter Sessions, at Knutsford, Cheshire, of unlawfully and fraudulently obtaining two bulls, for which he was sentenced to be imprisoned for five years. The prisoner being asked whether he was the same man, denied that he was, and said he had never been convicted before in his life. George Marshall, inspector of pokce, Stockport, was then called, and produced the certificate of conviction in question, and stated lie had no doubt of the prisoner's identity. The prisoner had been under his charge twenty-one days, and he recollected him perfectly. The prisoner still stoutly maintained he had never been convicted as alleged, and the jury were asked to determine the point. After a few moment's consultation, the foreman said they would like to hear some explanation from the prisoner. The chairman said the jury could not put any questions to the prisoner; they must give their verdict upon the evidence of the officer. The jury then further consulted, and finally returned a verdict of guilty on this additional count, and the prisoner was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. The prisoner pleaded to have a lighter sentence, but the chairman said he had no option, and the prisoner was removed.

THE GLEN ROBBERY. At the Borough Quarter Sessions, Shrewsbury, Agnes Lewis was indicted for having feloniously stolen certain property belonging to the trustees of her father, a bank- rupt. Mr Warren said—I appear in this case, instructed by the trustees of Mr William Lewis to prosecute the prisoner Agnes Lewis for the robbery of these goods. I have no doubt you will have read the depositions. It appears from them that witnesses were called for the defence in order to prove that these goods were the property of Agnes Lewis. Upon reading the evidence for the prose- cution, I think there are circumstances which leave no doubt that there are others far more guilty than the pri- soner. She might possibly have had some notion that the goods were her own property. Of course, legally and technically they could not be, inasmuch as they were vested in the trustees of the bankrupt, and could not pos- sibly be her goods. But there are also other legal and technical difficulties in the way; and as the prosecution have reason to think that there are other persons more guilty than she is, they propose, with your consent, to with- draw the prosecution. The Recorder—I need hardly say I have read the deposi- tions in this case with a great deal of care. I think, besides what ryou call legal difficulties, there are other persons as guilty as the prisoner. I would rather not express my opi- nion as to whether there are persons more guilty than she is but I believe there are people quite as guilty. The two prin- cipal witnesses against her were legally accomplices, and there certainly appears to be some confirmation of the one act. But the other removal appears to have been made before the goods became vested in the hands of the trustees. There- fore, there would only be corroboration of the one cir- cumstance of the case. After having carefully read the depositions, and given the best attention to the evi- dence the witnesses at examination, it is a case in which there is very great suspicion resting upon the prisoner, but I certainly never thought nor do I expect now that the vle petty jury would convict her of having feloniously stolen these goods. What the learned counsel for the prosecution has said I approve of, and I concur in the course he has suggested-that of offer .ng no evidence against the pri- soner. Though she is not without- blame in the transac- tion, I do not think a jury could find her guilty of feloniously stealing. I do not acquit her of blame, but as she could not be convicted of felony, and as no evidence was been offered on behalf of the prosecution, the jury hill as a matter of course say she was not guilty. Mr Warren The property is in possession of the police. There will be no objection to it being given up. The Re- corder I suppose you took care of that; she will not claim it now. The prisoner was then discharged.

if øtofu ymrlttg. ¡ (Nid ydym yn ystyried ein hunain yn gyfrifol am syniadau ein Gohebwyr yn y golofn /ton.) CYMANFA GERDDOROL HARLECH. Rhyfedd gymaint y mae y genedl yn awr yn ei fan- teisio yn fwy ar hen sefydliadau milwraidd ein tadau ragor ar eu hen sefydliadau crefyddol. Yn ein tro yr ydym wedi cael y" fraint [o ymweled ag amryw eglwysi a chaatelli, yn neillduol yn Ngogledd Cymru, ac yr ydym ynsynu, yn un peth, at y manteision a estynir i gael golwg ar y naill ragor y llall, ac hefyd at y defnydd ym- arferol a wneir o'r naill ragor y Hall. Buom yn Llan- elwy, ond: yr unig dro y digwyddodd i ni gael mantais i weled yr Hen Eglwys Gadeiriol—oddieithr ar adeg y Gwasanaeth Dwyfol-ydoedd pan oeddynt yn ei had- gyweirio, a'r pryd hwnw ni chawsom ond golwg yn unig ar y rhan hono yr oedd y gweithwyr ynddi, gan i ni gael ar ddeall fod y rhan arall yn nghau. Ond rhedasom ryw brydnawn i gastell Rhuddlan, a chawsom ei weled drwyddo ar unwaith. Nid dwywaith na tbair y buom yn ewyllysio gweled hen Eglwys ardderchog Wrexham, ond bob tro y buom yn cynyg yr oedd pob mynedfa, hyd yn nod i'r fynwent, dan glo. Ond pan fynem weled castell Dinbych, nid oedd eisieu dim ond dringo'r bryn, ac yr oedd y pyrth yn agor yn y fan. Ni chawsom erioed olwg ar Hen Eglwys Gadeiriol ardderchog Bangor, nid am na charasem hyny, ac na buom yn gyfleus o ran am- gylchiadau; ond taler grot, a chawn fyned i weled ein gwala o gastell Caernarfon. Y mae y ffaith hon wedi ein taro yn fynych y byddai yn fantais i'r Eglwys ei hun pe rhoddid mwy o fanteiston yn ffordd y cyhoedd i weled yr hen adeiladau yn y rhai y bu ein hen deidiau, feallai, yn addoli. iRhyfedd hefyd y fantais ymarferol y mae y genedl yn ei fwynhau ar ei chastelli ragor ei heglwysi. Y mae yn ddiammheuol fod yr hen Eglwysi Cadeiriol mawreddog hyn wedi eu hadeiladu, nid yn unig er mwyn gosod ar- graff o faint yr Eglwys wrth faint yr adeilad a'i cynwysai, ond yn benaf yn ddiamheu i gynwys y lluoedd a ymdyr- ent iddynt i addoli. Y mae yn debyg hefyd eu bod yn awr yn ateb gwasanaeth pwysig i'r rhai sydd yn eu defn- yddio; ond mor lleied yw y defnydd hwnw! Mae'n wir y defnyddir hen Eglwys Gadeiriol Worcester i gynal Gwyl Gerddorol Fawreddog, bob tair blynedd, yr ydym yn meddwl; ond cynygiai Iarll Dudley ddeng mil o bun- nau tuag at ei hadgyweirio, os byddai i hyny beidio cym- eryd lie ynddi rhag llaw. Gwrthododd y pwyllgor hyny; ond nid ydym yn meddwl fod hen Eglwysi Cadeiriol Cymru yn ddiweddar wedi bod yn y perygl o gael eu camddefnyddio trwy gynal uchel-wyl na chvmanfa ynddynt. Ac nid yw adfeilion hen fynachloarvdd ychwaith o ddim mwy o fantais. Y ddwy fwyaf cyfan a welsom ni oedd Mynachlog Glyn-nedd a Mynachlog y Valle Cruris Llan Egwestl-gerllaw Llangollen; ond ni chlywsom fod un defnydd ymarferol yn cael ei wneyd ohonynt, na bod hyny yn bosibl. Mor wahanol ydyw gyda'n hen gastelli. Y mae y rhai hyn yn awr, er eu bod yn ganrifoedd lawer o oed- ran, ar lawer ystyr yr adeiladau mwyaf defnyddiol a feddwn, hyd yn nod yn yr oes ymarferol hon. Y mae pen y castell y llanerch fwyaf poblogaidd a fedd Aber- ystwyth. Pa sawl Cymanfa a Sasiwn a Chylchwyl a gyn- aliwyd yn hen gastelli Rhuddlan a Dinbych a Chonwy? Tra y mae castell Caernarfon mown rhyw alwad beunydd -i groesawii Tywysog, i gynal Eisteddfod, neu Gyng- herddau mawreddog. A dyma hen gastell Harlech hefyd, er ei fod yn awr wedi ei adeiladu er's yn agos i chwe' chant o flynyddoedd, fel pe buasai wedi ei wneyd yn bwrpasol i gynal Cymanfa Gerddorol Dirwestwyr Ardudwy. Rhaid i bawb gydnabod mai drychfeddwl godidog oedd cael Cymanfa Gerddorol yn perthyn i'r rhan hon o Sir Peirionydd. Y mae rhywbeth yn farddonol a cherdd- orol ynom fel cenedl- nid, ni a hyderwn, fel y mynai un, am fod canu a barddoni yn cael edrych arno fel y gwaith meddyliol y gellir ei wneyd hawddaf—ond oherwydd rhywbethau eraill. Modd bynag, dyna'r ffaith. Y mae y wlad yn gerddorol, a chor yn perthyn bron i bob capel. Ardderchog o beth gan hyny oedd y syniad am gael y corau hyn yn nghyd i ryw le canolog i gyd- ymdrechu yn heddychol unwaith yn y flwyddyn. Y mae tuedd uniongyrchol yn hyn i luosogi corau ac i'w gwella hefyd. A'r fath le ardderchog sydd yma i gynal gwyl. Y mae safle yr hen gastell yn hynod fanteisiol- bron ar y canol, yn y lie mwyaf cyfleus i'r rhan hon o'r Sir. Dyna'r "ffordd gul" hefyd yn rhedeg hyd ymyl godreu yr hen adeilad, ya gyfleus i ddwyn teithwyr ar hyd-ddi o bob cyfeiriad. Llawer trem bryderus a daflwyd tua'r ffurfafen yn nyddiau cyntaf yr wythnos. Braidd nad oeddid yn meddwl fod y tywydd teg oedd yn awr wedi parhau am fisoedd ar gael ei newid am ddiluw. Yr oedd yr hin y llynedd yn nghof pawb fu yno. Mor druenus oedd ceisio na chanu na gwrando nac areithio yn nghanol y gwlaw oedd yn pistyllio. Ar gyfer hyn yr oedd y pwyllgor eleni wedi darparu diddos-len ardderchog, wedi costio, meddir, dros £ 70; a rhaid:i ni addef ei bod yn ymddangos yn bwrpasol i'r eithaf. Ond nid yw diddos-len, er iddi gostio can-punt, yn werth dim wrth ddiwrnod teg. A diwrnod teg a gafwyd. Yn wir, fel v dywedodd Cadeirydd y nos, yr oedd pob peth eleni yn ffafr y eyfarfod-diwrnod teg, tyrfaoedd o ddyeithriaid, corau lluosog, ac i wneyd pob diffyg i fyny, cawsom bresennoldeb prif-gantores Cymru-Miss Edith Wynne. Clywsom fod y derbyniadau trwy y cyfarfod dau o'r gloch uwchlaw £150, a chwanegwyd llawer at y swm hwn trwy gyfarfod y nos. Am y cyfarfodydd eu hunain nid oes genym lawer i'w ddweyd. Aeth yn mhell cyn dechreu cyfarfod y boreu- yn agos i un-ar-ddeg, er iddo gael ei gyhoeddi am ddeg. Nis gwyddom pa le yr oedd y bai am hyn; ond bu hyn yn foddion i daflu holl gyfarfodydd eraill y diwrnod o'u lie. Ac erbyn myned i ddechreu, nid oedd y Ilywydd a benodasid wedi dyfod, ac ni ddywedwyd gair paham yr oedd wedi ein siomi. Yna cynnygiwyd llywydd arall; ond cyn i hwn brin eistedd, dyma wr a dybid yn anrhy- deddusach nag ef yn dyfod i iflewn, a rhoddwyd hwnw i eistedd yn y gadair. Os peth fel hyn yw anrhydedd, y gadair, nid oes dim yn haws na'i enill a'i golli. Ond y gofyniad sydd yn taro ein meddwl ni yw, paham y mae eisieu llywyddion o gwbl? Dyma y boneddwr talentog -am ddweyd dim a dylni-f u yn gwneyd ymdumiau ar bentyrau o Gymry o'i flaen am ddeng munyd neu chwar- ter awr yn y oyfarfod y boreu, pa bwrpas yr oedd ei waith yn ei ateb? Yr oeddym ni yn cydymdeimlo i fesur a baich araith y Cadeirydd parchus ddau o'r gloch —neu yn hytrach chwarter i dri-ond buasai yn well genym iddo ei darllen yn sytfc na cheisio ei chofio, a myned i lawr i'r Deheudir i bregethu ar strikes. Nid yw y gwr talentog oedd yn gadeirydd yr hwyr byth yn agor ei enau heb ddweyd rhywbeth gwerth ei wrando, °yn enwedig pe yr agorai ei enau yn Gymraeg. Dyna yr areithiau hefyd-pob parch i'r areithw-yr-gwell fuasai genym ni gael cyfarfod areithio drwyddo draw na rhyw gymysgfa fel hyn. Yn hytrach na dewis rhyw ddau neu dri o lywyddion dibrofiad fel y gwneir, buasai yn llawer gwell genym ni, ac yr ydym braidd yn meddwl y buasai yn fwy manteisiol hefyd i'r pwyllgor, pe buasai bonedd- wyr gwladgarol a chefnogol i'r symudiad hwn yn cael eu dewis yn noddwyr, a rhoddi gwaith y dydd yn ngofal ar- weinydd medrus, ar yr hwn y byddai yr holl gyfrifoldeb. Byddid drwy hyny yn debycach o ddechreu mown pryd ac o ddibenu mewn pryd, a chedwid mwy o fywiogrwydd yn y cyfarfodydd. Os rhaid i'r corau hefyd gael harmo- nium i'w canlyn, carem ei gweled ar olwynion y flwyddyn nesaf, yn lie colli yr holl amser o'i symud o'r naill fan i'r llall. Yn wiryr ydym ni yn meddwl mai yn hyn yr oedd diffyg y Gylchwyl eleni-os gellir dweyd fod diffyg mewn Cylchwyl a drodd allan yn mhob modd mor llwyddian- nus—yn yr amser a gollid yn nechreu y cyfarfodydd a rhwng y gwahanol ddoirnau. Yr oedd cryn ager yn colli rhwng y rhigolau hyn fel mai prin y gellir dweyd i ni gael hwyl ar un darn a ganwyd ar hyd;y cyfarfod. Yr oedd yn amlwg ar hyd y Gylchwyl fod y cyfarfod- ydd hyn eisoes wedi gwneuthuranferthles, a'u bod liefyd yn gafael yn ddyfnach yn meddyliau y cantorion a'r bobl. Y mae llawer o'r clod [am hyn yn ddyledus yn ddiamheuol i swyddogion doelh, a ffyddlawn y gym- deithas, ac yn arbenig i'r Ysgrifenydd. Teimlid colled fod Mr. Jones, Rhyd-y-main, wedi symud o'r Sir, ond da genym weled fod olynydd teilwng iddo: wedi ei gael yn Mr. R. Rowlands Roberts, Talsarnau. Hydewn y parheir i arlwyo y fath wiedd yn flynyddol ar gyfer y torfeydd sydd yn ymgynull i'w mwynhau.

A crowded meeting, convened by the Birmirgham Labour Representation League, -vas held in that towa on Saturday night, when resolutions were passed protesting against the grant of an annuity to Prince Arthur. I

COCKSHUTT. LOYAL EGERTON LODGE. -On Thursday week the Loyal Egerton Lodge, No. 4380, of the Independent Order of Oddfellows, M. U., and the Lion Leighton Lodge, No. 6, of the New United Order of Oddfellows, held their anni- versary. After the usual lodge business, initiation of members, &c., was concluded, a procession was formed by the members, headed by the Ellesmere Volunteer Rifle Corps Band, under their talented leader, Mr Powell, and proceeded to church, where an appropriate and instructive sermon was preached by the respected vicar, the Rev. E. Furmston, M.A., from Philippiansiv. chapter, 5th verse, "Let your moderation be known unto all men;" after which the procession was re-formed, and the clubs re- turned to their respective lodge-houses, where ample pro- vision had been made for them. At the Crown Inn the chair was filled by Mr Allinson, Wine and spirit merchant, Ellesmere, supported by the Rev. E. Furmston, and several friends of the Order; P.P.G.M. H. Townsend and P.P.G.M. Green occupying the vice-chairs. The usual loyal and other toasts were given by the Chairman. and heartily responded to. In giving the toast The Bishop and Clergy," he coupled with it the name of the Vicar, who, in responding, spoka in high terms of the zeal with which the Bishop endeavoured to promote every good work in his diocese, and, after referring to his own parish, concluded a good speech in a humorous manner, which caused a good deal of merriment. The toast Success to the Egerton Lodge was given by the Vicar, who said he wished to couple the name of Mr Green with the toast, to whose excellent management he believed, to a certain extent, might be attributed the success of the lodge. This was seconded by the Chairman. Mr Green, in return, thanked them for the manner in which his name, coupled with the toast had been given and received, and said that in what he had done for the lodge he con- sidered he had only endeavoured to do what was expected from every true Englishman, his duty." From the annual statement the lodge appears to be in a very flourishing condition, the number of members being fifty- five amount of funds 26.52 8s. 71d. increase in the year, 248 13s. ltd. We understood, from enquiries, that the Lion Leighton Lodge also was progressing satisfactorily. At six o'clock the band proceeded to the beautifully retired green, on the Vicarage grounds, kindly lent by the Vicar for the occasion, a small sum being charged for admission towards paying the expenses of the band. A numerous and highly respectable company soon assembled, and dancing was kept up with much spirit till 9.30, when the National Anthem concluded a very pleasant day's enjoyment.

PANT. SABBATH SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.-On Sunday last, the Sabbath School in connection with the Congregational Church, Pant, held their anniversary services, when Mr D. C. Davies, F.G.S., Oswestry, preached two excellent and appropriate sermons. During intervals, the children ,e recited and sung a few select pieces. Mr Davies re- marked that the way they accomplished their work be- spoke much previous labour, both of teacher and scholar. Although the weather was somewhat unfavourable, Mr Davies's-reputation as a preacher drew a good attendance. In the evening the chapel was quite full. On the follow- ing Monday, the teachers and scholars with other friends, met at the chapel at four o'clock and took tea together, from thence they went to the Llanymynech Hills and en- joyed themselves with running for toys and other games, until the shades of evening bid them return home. onlv to persevere in the good work with fresh vigour and stronger determination. The collections amounted to C, 18s. 3d.-Communicated.

Complainant stated that defendant was at a blacksmith's shop situate at Llan- drinio, whither complainant was taking a barrow to be mended. Upon his entering the shop defendant poked him with a hoe handle. He caught hold of the handle, and they had a struggle over it. Defendant said he could pitch such a man as him on the fire, and he did so, burning complainant's arm. When he got off the fire he caught up a poker and struck defendant on the thigh. Defendant then pulled him out of the shop and struck him in the face. Complainant then went away, leaving the barrow behind him. He did not say he would put defendant up the chimney. Did not intend to push him against the wall, but did no know whether he did so unintentionally ornot. —Robert Bowen said he was present at the time David Jones was in the shop fitting a handle into his hoe. Jos. Casewell came to the shop with a barrow, and went past Jones to play with Roberts, blacksmith. Did not see him push Jones against the wall. Heard Jones say he would put Casewell on the fire. Saw him do so, and complain- ant's arm fell in the fire. They had ,ome words, and then defendant pulled complainant out of the shop and hit him, making his nose bleed.—Defendant denied the charge, and called Edward Parry, who said he was outside the shop at the time, and saw Casewell come up, and saw him push Jones against the wall to get past him to the fire, where the blacksmith was standing. Defendant remonstrated with him, and complainant then gave him a good bit of foul tongue," to which defendant did not reply. Com- plainant then threatened to put Jones up the chimney. Jones replied, Mind you are not put there yourself." They then wrestled, and defendant put complainant on the hearth, and his arm went into the fire. When he got off the fire he hit defendant over tbe thigh with a poker, and "blackguarded" him, upon which defendant pulled him out of the shop and hit him in the face. Complainant ran off to the constable, leaving his barrow behind him. De- fendant was fined zCl, including costs. He was allowed till the next meeting to pay.

CEFN AND RHOSYMEDRE. HORSE v. CHILDREN.—We observed a paragraph a few weeks ago referring to a notorious character in America of whom itwas related that he had killed nine orten men, and very little notice was taken of the circumstance, at last he stole a horse, his neighbours met, and commenting strongly on the enormity of the offence, and adopting lynch law, hung him up at once. The same principle seems to obtain here with some persons. Last Sunday a horse loose in the road was galloping, and, to the great consternation of the mother, nearly crushed a young child, on her remonstrating with the owner of the quadruped, the reply was. I pay a licence for my horse you don't for your children."

WREXHAM. THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—It is intended to form a local society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Mr J. 0. Bury has consented to act as secretary, and it is contemplated to hold a public meeting in connection with the movement THE BURIAL BOARD.—A meeting of the Burial Board Committee was held on Friday, Alderman Jones in the chair. It was resolved that the surveyor should be in- structed to map out the land of the cemetery upon such a plan as would admit of the appropriation of three acres for present use the land to be apportioned in an acre each for the Church of England, the Dissenters, and the Roman Catholics; the plan also to embrace a lodge and chapel. THE NEW FIRE ENGINE.—The new fire engine which has been purchased by the Provincial Insurance Company arrived in town on Wednesday week, and met with the honour of a public reception. The members of the Prince of Wales Volunteer Fire Brigade met their new ally at the station, and with the "Tender" and "Quinta" engines formed a procession through the town. The three engines were tried in High-street, and in the evening the 1 9 brigade dined together at the Wynnstay Arms, Captain Turner occupying the chair. BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT, MONDAY.-Before the Mayor, and T. C. Jones, Esq. The Doyles.—Bridget Doyle was summoned by Ann Doyle for an assault. The case had been adjourned from last Mon- day at the request of the defendant, who, however, failed to put in an appearance, and the Bench resolved to proceed with it in her absence. The assault appeared, from the complain- ant's evidence and from her appearance, to have been a very savage one, and the magistrates sentenced the absent de- fendant to be put in gaol for six months; the police to be furnished with a warrant for her arrest. Abusive Languagc.-Elizabeth Walls was fined Is., and 9s. costs, for using abusive language towards her neighbour, Mary Ann Hopkins, of Pentrefelin. Robbery by a Girl.—Mary Price, of Lawbpit-street, pleaded guilty to stealing 13s. 6d. from the house of Ann Howard, of the Market-square, on Wednesday. It appears thatthe prisoner was hawking water cresses on that day, and in her round she called at the house of Mrs Howard, who bought a small quantity. The prisoner then asked for something to drink, and Mrs Howard went out to fetch her some water. In the evening Mrs Howard missed the sum named from a little box that she had opened to get money to pay for the cresses. She went to the prisoner's house, and charged her with robbery. The prisoner at first denied it, but she afterwards admitted that she had taken it.—She was sentenced to a months' im- prisonment. COUNTY MAGISTRATES' COURT, MONDAY.— Before H. W. Meredith, Esq., J.

Lawley was the informant.-They were fined zEl 8s., including costs. THE RHOS STABBING CASE. This case came on again for hearing this morning, and the prosecutor, Samuel Mellin, was able to appear and give evidence. He appeared to be very weak, and he had to be supported while walking to and from the hall. Mr Acton appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Jones for the defence, and there was a large assemblage of Rhos people present. Mellin's depositions were as follows "I live at Rhosllanerchrugog, and am a dogger and shoemaker by trade. I have lived in the Rhos for six years, but I am a native of Derbyshire. I am not married. I remember Tuesday, the 13th June, I went to the White Lion. I saw Edward Roberts there, but I had no talk with him. After that we went into the Blue BelL I saw there Edward Roberts and a man called David Evans, and two other men. We had a little joking Roberts had been buying some cloth and was going to sell some to Roberts, and I said he would never pay him. Then Roberts got hold of another gentleman's beer, and I said to. Roberts, 'If you are short of a glass of beer I will pay for a glass.' Then the gentleman paid for a glass of beer for me. There was no quarrel in the house, but when we went in we found Roberts and David Evans 'jawing' a bit. We left about twelve. I had seen Roberts at the King's Head six weeks before, and Crowdder and Fletcher were with me then. Evans, of the,White Lion, was with Roberts, and they were both drunk. Roberts told Evans that Lan- cashire dodgers were all thieves and robbers; he said they had no business in that country. I said one country is as good as another. I pay my way. Evans' and he got vexed, and Roberts said, 'I will serve you the same as 1 they serve them in America.' A policeman was fetched there and he put them out. This was the only time I was in his company. When we left the Bell I was giving the men directions how to go on next dav. I was going to Mold. We three walked until we got near my. house, then we stopped. Up to that time I had not seen Roberts in the road. When Crowdder and Fletcher left me I went to the end of my yard. I heard a man coming from the Blue Bell, the same direction as we had come. He was talking in Welsh, so I could not understand all. I under- stood him to be cursing the doggers, but I can't repeat the words. I stopped when I heard him, and he came up to me. I asked him what he was cursing the doggers for? I said the doggers want to have nothing to do with you. Then he made a rush at me, and I made a rush at him. I was two or three yards from him then, and I was fifteen yards from him when I first heard him. I thought at first he had struck me a blow, but I felt something like a pipestail breaking in my side. Then I struck him in the face. I felt no great pain at first. I found the blood running down my thigh, after that I hit the pris- oner as hard as I could. He was on the ground then. I hit about the face all the while. The whole affair did not last above a minute or two. I can't tell whether I knocked or drew the knife out of my side. I took a knife into the house, but I cannot tell where I got it from. I called out as soon as I found out, Oh, Lord, have mercy upon me, for I am stabbed!" Crowdder and Fletcher then came up, and I said I expected to die every minute. They came up in a minute or two from the commencement. I don't know where Roberts was when they came. I felt no pain hardly for an hour. I was bleeding all the time. I did not feel any difficulty of breathing, till I got into bed. I had had four glasses of ale that night, two at each house. I was quite sober." In cross-examination, the prosecutor said he could not explain how blood could be 110 yards from where the prisoner stabbed him, nor could he explain how the marks of a struggle could have been found at that distance. He never hit the prisoner till he found out that he had been stabbed, and then he gave it him as hard as he could. Ir. Acton called no further witnesses for the prosecution, and Mr Jones said that he should not address any observa- tions to the Bench on behalf of the prisoner. Mr Jones then called Edward Evans, the landlord of the White Lion, who was present at the interview alluded to at the King's Head six weeks ago. He spoke of Fletcher as having been very insulting at that time to the prisoner and wanting to fight him. This witness also described the ap- pearance of the prisoner when he was brought to his house about one o clock on the morning of the 14th of June. His face was all of a jelly he said, and he vomited blood in the yard. » Dr Davis was called. He said he found the prisoner suf- fering from a number of contused wounds about the eyes, swollen lips, and a slight wound in his side. He gave it as his opinion that it was almost impossible for Mellin to have inflicted these wounds after he had been stabbed. They were caused either by blows or kicks. Mr Acton cross-examined Dr Davies as to the motive for sending for him to the prisoner after he had been appre- hended. Was it not with a view entirely to his giving evidence ? Mr Jones said that it was with a view of his giving evi- dence on the question of bail. The prisoner put in a written statement of his de- fence, in which he said that on the night of the 13th of June he was in the White Lion, when Mellin, Fletcher, and Crowdder were there, and he treated them with a glass of ale each. He, after dusk, met with them at the Blue Bell. They left the Blue Bell before him about twenty minutez. When he had gone about 300 or 400 yards from the Blue Bell he met with them, aud he believed that Mellin said, Good night." Then the dark man of the party hit him on the side of the head, knocked him down, and the three kicked him on the ground, and the little fellow said, "Don't kill him." Mellin then hit him again, and just as Mellin had partly gone away, the ark Plf/1,. eSan on him again, and he begged of them not to kill him, and then he was kicked again many times. He then made a spring and got out his knife and said that he would cut anyone that hit him again. Mellin said that he neither cared for him nor his knife, and he believed that if he had not stabbed Mellin he should have been killed. The prisoner was then committed to take his trial at the next Assizes, bail being again refused. There were one or two other ea-es of drunkenness and donkey straying.

ELLESMERE. PRESENTATION.—On Monday evening a few friends in con- nection with the Independent Chapel met in the schoolroom for the purpose of presenting Mr Hales, of Trimpley, with a Commentary by Matthew Henry, in three volumes, very hand- somely bound and illustrated.—Mr Lea, chemist, was the gentleman who presented it on behalf of the subscribers, who were numerous. In doing so he said he-had very great pleasure in presenting it to Mr Hales, he had often supp ied the pulpit, and at times when they were in a very great fix. Ingratitude oughc not to belong to the Independent", and although he was not connected with the society, but belonged to a different denomination, he had very great pleasure in presenting him with Matthew Henry." He must quite understand it was not gi en in payment for his services in the pulpit, but it was a gratuitous gift. The congregation he (Mr Lea) was connected with had been buffetted about a great deal, and they could not forget Mr Hales's kindness when their late pastor Was very un- well, and he was always ready to take the pulpit when • asked to do so. It might seem strange on his part to present this gift, for he was averse to local preachers, he thourht every pulpit ought to be supplied with ar minister set apart for the work He hoped and trusted that Mr Hales might live long to preach the go spel, and that the book might prove of great service to him in his ministerial cipacity.—Mr Pemberthy rose and said that he felt (loubly grateful to Mr Hales, not only for having filled the pulpit, but for the very great interest that Mr Hales took in the children in connection with the Band of Hope This was truly a good work, and likely to prove of very great benefit. He fully endorsed the words of Mr Les, and hoped Mr Hales Banll nf1THnno^m° preach the Cospelj flnd also toforward the Hifnt vmW °vemen^t.—Mr Hales said, I rise Mr Lea, to liavu the expression of good feeling towards me. I ha,e been now in the habit of preaching and taking different Pulpits for the past twenty-eight years, and this is the first testimony I ever received, and it will cause me to think very highly of the Independents. I had not the slightest idea of receiving anything, and I really do feel very grateful, for you could not have selected a book more suitable, or one that I should have preferred, it is a valuable book, and one that I shall highly prize. I shall always be very glad to assist you when wanted, and I can say that the happiest part of my life has been in doing good to my fellow creatures. I again beg to thank you all for your kind expressions of good will. BOWLING MATCH.—On Thursday afternoon week a bowling match took place on Ellesmere Green, between Ellesmere and Llangollen clubs. We may remark in the outset, that last year Ellesmere beat the LlaDgollen gentlemen at home and abroad; consequently, the Llangollen club sent another challenge in orner, if possible, to retrieve their lost laurels. However in this they were doomed to be disappointed, Ellesmere at the finish, having a majority of twenty-eight. The rule of bowling is, that the best out of three games, drawn two against two, thirteen booked on each side; consequently, there were six couples and one single one on each side. Four of the couples won their rubber on the part of the Ellesmere, one couple lost another had to playoff the third game when successful. apt. Lloyd, in the single one, was beaten by his opponent. We ap- pend a score, so that all will be explained. The mayor, Capt. Lloyd, was in attendance nn the Green, and took an active part. During some part of the piny intense excitement was exhibited by both parties. The afternoon was all that could be-desired and the Green was in splendid condition, much to the credit of Griffiths, the man who looks after it. After the match was over the party proceeded to the Bridgwater Arms Hotel, where an excellent spread was laid, prepared by Mr and Mrs Wright; and we really cannot pass too high a compliment on the admirable manner in which the dinner was got up._ Capt. Lloyd presided Mr Garner, of the Llangollen club was vice-president. The cloth being removed, the health of the Queen was drunk amid enthu- siastic cheering. Owing to want of time, the Llangollen club having to leave, the other loyal toasts were dispensed with. The Chairman then gave the health of the members of the Llangollen Bowling Club, remarking that it was always a great pleasure to see these gentlemen, and although they had been defeated, still they had very much enjoyed themselves; and, notwithstanding his bad bowling, which, he thought, might have assisted them in winning—(a laugh)—still they were beaten. One thine he must say, that whenever they met the Llangollen men they. acted as real gentlemen. They hoped to have the pleasure of retuming the match, and they would do all they could to beat them again.
