George: But I want to explain if you will allow ine.-Tlie Clerk: Then let the case be called.—The case having been called, Mr Wm. George said Mr Shafto as the result' of conversations with the police knew before leaving the district that he was going to be sum- moned. It so happened, Mr George pro- ceeded, that flie defendant sent his firm the papers containing his defence. They came on the preceding day. He (Mr. George) did not look at the papers, and asked liis clerk to hand them over to his friend, Mr Jones Morris, to deal with tihe matter as he thought best. If Mr Jones Morris proposed to fight the case and ap- plied for adjournment, he would not re- sist tiio application.—Mr Jones Morris agreed with the Clerk that the time given the defendant to prepare his defence was too short. At lcas; five or six days should have been given. He was not instructed by Mr Shafto to apply for an adjourn- ment. Mr Shafto had written two ra cier long letters and he would put his views before the Bench.—Mr George: Then the case proceeds in the usual way and there is no ground for complaint on ilie score mentioned and the case will be heard on its merits (-At the request of Mr Jones Morris, witnesses were ordered out of court.—In the course of his opening, Mr. Wm. George said there might! be some excuse for going at a good pace in a clear road in the open country, but there was none when it came to going through tho streets cf a t-own.-P .C. 35, stationed at Portmadoc, said on Monday, August 16th, about four in the afternoon, lie saw a motor car coming down High-street. Portmadoc, fast', and furiously. It came from behind so suddenly that he was un- able to signal to the occupants to stop. It slowed down a little when taking i-lic cor4Lir leading to Criccieth road. The car was going at such a dangerous speed that he took its number.—Cross-examined by Mr Jones Morris, witness said he had no stop watch, bu:< in his opinion it ex- ceeded the speed limit. He considered it was going at over twenty miles an hour. He had never timed a car.—Mr William George: We have no traps in this countv. —Mr Jones Morris: So the Chief Con- stable has reported.—In further cross- examination, he said the road was per- ieotly clear when the car came along. There were people on the pavement.—Mr Jones Morris: But a motor does not go on the pavement.—Mr Wm George: But people on the pavement have to cross the road.—In re-examination by Mr George, witness said he had never seen a car go:!)' at a faster rate through Portmadoc streets.—P.S. Jones said he was a-j the Police Station when he heard the sound of a passing motor car. Looking through the window, he saw a dark coloured car going round the curve of the Criccieth road. The car was going at terrific speed. The distance was so short that lie could not. make out the car's number. In his opinion the car was travelling at a speed dangerous to the public.-At this point two motors were seen through the Court room window on liie Criccieth road. Asked if those cars were going at the same speed, witness replied "There is no comparison." He added that scores of cars passed during the day, but rarely did the police have reason to interfere.—Mr. Jones Morris, cross-examining, asked if witness meant it was going at a terrific speed as compared with a horse and trap ? -H itness: At a terrific speed as com- pared with any cars that I have seen.— Have you seen the Irish mail ?—Yes. I mean motor cars now and not the Irish mail.—At what speed was it coming?—It was coming at a high speed.—Have you been travelling in a motor car?-Yes.- And exceeding the speed limit I suppose? (Laughter.)—I have been going twenty mdes an hour. In further re' ly, he said he could not say what was the rate de- fendant went at. All he knew was tlla-,i lie was going at a speed dangerous to the public.-D. R. Thomas, outfitter, High- street, said he saw the moilor car going round the corner. It took the corner so quickly that it would have gone hard with people had they happened to be on the road at the time. He spoke to P.C. 36 about the car. He felt that the car was travelling aj far too great a speed through the streets of the town. If cars were to be allowed to go through the streets at tihe rate this car went, then it was time for motor cars to have the, streets to themselves.—Cross-examined It was going faster than any motor he had seen and he had seen some hundreds. W It- ness added thati the other motorists were going at a moderate pace-just like wit- ness went on his tricycle. (Much laugh- ter.)—Mr Jones Morris: But the law per- mits them to go a little faster than you do on vour tricycle. (Renewed laughter.) —Witness said it was a wonder to him how defendant managed to safelv nego- tiate the corner.—Mr Jones Morris when addressed the Bench at some length for the defence, and said his instructions were that the defendant was travelling at a fair rate of speed, and the fact that he safely negotiated the corner was proof thati he was not going at the furious and terrific speed suggested by the witnesses for the prosecution. He asked the Bench not to convict, and to say tha-t the evidence was a little exaggerated.—Mr. Wm. George said there was a further charge against the defendant of driving at a dangerous speed tlo the public through Pentrefielin on the same day. If the Bench decided to convict in the Port- madoc case, he would, seeing that the two summonses were in respect of the same journey, ask for the withdrawal of the second summons on payment of costs. —Mr Jones Morris suggested that both summonses should be withdrawn on pay- ment of costs. A conviction and the consequent endorsement of tfoe licence would thus be avoided. He did not object to the1 costs being substantial.— The Clerk said Mr Jones Morris must know as a member of the Carnarvonshire Joint Police Committee that the feee were absolutely fixed and could not be exceeded.—Mr John Morris: I know that there is a county scale of fees.—The Chairman said the Bench had decided to convict. Regarding Mr Jones Morris's suggestion, lie could not be a party tto that proceeding. He did not see it was a case calling for exceptional treatment. Defendant would be fined 20s. and costs (12s.)—Mr George applied for advocate's fee, -01 Is., and the Bench granted the application. They also agreed tc the withdrawal of the Pentrefeflin summons on payment of costs.—When the Bench and the Clerk were speaking in regard t|> the costs of two witnesses in the latter summons, Mr George said in was not fair to be niggardly.—The Clerk said it was not a question of niggardliness at all, but of going according to what was right.- The Bench decided to allow each witness half a day's costs, viz., 2s. 6cT.—Mr. George, who wanted a f'ull day's expenses, said Llhe Bench in making so small an allowance were placing a great deal of difficulty in the way of getting witnesses to come to the Court.—Mr George after- ward applied for advocate's fee. Mr Jones Morris offered no objection and after deliberation, the Bench allowed a guinea.

LORD LONDONDERRY ON THE SOCIALIST DANGER. Speaking at the annual fete of the Wynyard Primrose League on Saturday, at Wynyard Park, Lord Londonderry said he looked with considerable satisfaction, from the Unionist point of view, upon the present condition of political affairs. What the country had to realise at the present time was that the Government was t entirely in the hands of the Socialist party. It was, as far as he could read. under the instructions of the Socialist party that the present Budget, was introduced and if he were asked on what question the next General Election should be fought the would not. hesitate to say it should be fought by the Unionist party in opposition to Socialism (Cheers.) The duty 01 members of the Primrose League should bo to make the electors thoroughly acquainted with what Socialism meant, not only to tho poor dukes who were held up to ridicule and other owners of property, hut to the working classes. <

RENNAL Death of Mrs. Dry.—Last week there died at the old-world village of Pennal, a lady who in her early days, as Miss Cramp, ton, had a varied and interesting life at the Court of Montenegro. She and her younger sister, both being wards in Chan- eery, happened to be staying in Trieste < during a visit of the Princess, the wife of Danilo I., who in 1851 was proclaimed the first secular rgigning prince of Monten- egro. Whilst at Trieste the Princess's lady-in-waiting died and Miss Cramptcn applied for and was appointed to the post; her sist-er at the same time becoming lady. 1 in-waiting to Princess Adelaide of Savoy, 1 aunt of King Victor Emmanuel of ( Italy. In those days there was no carriage ( road to C'eltinje, so the newly-appointed j lady-in-waiting had to iind her way to the i ) capital on horseback, escorted by a brigandlike troop of men sent by the Prince to escort her. There she spent six event- ful years, during which she once (attended th,e Princess on a visit to the Court of Napoleton III. and was to have paid a visit to the Court of Russia but, war breaking out between Austria and Russia, the one port of egress, Cattaro, was closed and the visit had to be abandoned. Mrs. Dry often wore the Montenegrin national dresis, at court functions. It was not so well known in those days in Western Europe as it is now. so hers was exhibited at the Paris exhibition of 1855. When on leave in England she met her future husband, the Rev. W. Dry. rector of Whitchurch, near Ross, whom she soon married. At th:o time (I860) the Prince, of Montenegro was murdered and the widowed Princess was urgent in her requests to Mrs. Dry to return to h,er. This, however, she was unable to do. Ir. and Mrs. Dry, about the year 1830, came to live at Llwynon, near Pennal. Here, seme rears later, Mr. Dry died. Their onl" daughter married Captain Lucca of the Italian Army. She also died, leaving two sons,. After her husband's death, Mrs. Dry and her sister left Wales, but returned latr to the village of Pennal where for fifteen years Mrs Dry led a quiet, uneventful life. hrok,en only by the death of her much loved sister and companion. But in this, as in other bereavements, her fortitude was remark- able. The interest she tcok in current events and in the topkte and problems of the day, the warm hospitality of a gener- ous and liberal nature as well as her sympathetic disposition, endeared her to her friends and made it always a delight to them to gather round her. ,She was laid to rest at Pennal beside her husband on Saturday, August 28th, when many of her neighbours attended to nay their last tribute of respect and regard.

Baxter, Birmingham, for wliorn Mr William George appeared, for having driven a motor car to the danger of tUie public at Pantllwyd, Festiniog, on August 12th.-Mr R. O. Davies, for the police, stated t'hat police traps as such had been done away with in the county, but two police constables had measured a dis- tance at Pantllwyd of 660 yards. Pant- llwyd was a village of about tlhirty houses with many children about. Defendant drove his car through the village at the rate of twenty-seven miles an hour. Evi- dence was given by P.C. Jones and P.C. Parry and also several local persons, one of whom stated the car would have run over a little child had she not been snatched away just as the car was passing.—De- fendant and Mr A. R. Paxter^his father, and Mr Frank Southam gave evidence that the car was driven moderately and care- fully.-aiir George urged that P.C. Jones had made a mistake in stating that the car did 660 in fifsy seconds. The actual time was one minute and fifty seconds: but the justices considered the case proved and fined defendant B5 and costs.—Mr. George said that defendant and his advisers would seriously consider the ques- tion of appeal.—Inspector Roberts, for whom Mr R. O. Davies appeared, sum- moned Osborne Garner, Rhyl, for having driven a car to the danger of the public through Talsarnau village on August 2nd. —Defendant said he did not believe he was driving too dangerously.—After .S. Davies and P.C. Roberts had given evi- dence, the case was dismissed on payment of, costs.—Inspector Robert also charged T. W. McDermott, Swansea, for a similar offence at Talsarnau on the- same ditc- P.S. Davies and Mr Robert Jones, Tal- sarnau, gave evidence.—Defendant was fined 40s. and costs.

Davies stalled that a funeral was proceeding from Penrhyn to Beddgelert on that date. When the funeral arrived at Llanfrothen, defendant's jnotior car was found oil the road without anyone in charge of it. De-N fendant came there in fifteen minutes time, having been scrolling in the neigh- bourhood.—Evidence to this effect was given by Mr David Jones, Greenwich House, and Mr Robert Lloyd, carrier.— The Bench imposed a fine of 2s. 6d. and costs, the Chairman stating tfhere was a complaint that a funeral a few weeks ago delayed motor cars and other vehicles for over an hour.—Mr Davies in reply said that the burial of tftie dead must take place even if all other traffic was ob- structed.

Wil- liams, Haulfryn-terrace, Tanygrisiau, with a similar offence.—Defendant sent a letter admitting the offence and stating that! two of his friends had lamps and as he was riding between them he thought there was no danger.—He was fined 2s. 6d. and costs, t3ie Chairman stating that everyone must have a light and that it was not a sufficient excuse to ride behind another rider with a light.

Williams, Evan Hughes, John Humphreys, deputy clerk Isaac Davies, assistant clerk; and Morris Williams, surveyor and inspector; and Mr. Evan Evans, C.E.. engineer of the water scheme. Mr. Lloyd George's Bungalow. The following letter was read from Mr. William, George.—"August 28th. I understand that no arrangement has yet been come to with regard to the drainage of my brother's new house and as the matter is somewhat urgent, I should be obliged by your bringing the same before the meeting of the Council. I am in- formed that the drain go,es up to the western end of Arfonia-terrace already and it seems to me that it is only fair that thii;i public sewer should be continued up to the-' Parciau Baoli boundary at the public's expense or, if it is oonsidered that any part of this expense ought to fall on private persons, the adjoining owners ought to contribute ratably towards the cost. Trusting that I shall hear from you without delay, William George."—Mr. Rowland Lloyd Jones, the architect, in a letter dated August 30th, wrote that the bungalow was nearing completion. They were now ready to commence the drain- age. It was therefore highly important I to get to know definitely and finally whether or no the District Council would extend their main to serve this house. He desired to be furnished with a reply no later than Wednesday. If the reply was in the negative, he would have no alterna tive but to advise Mr. Lloya George to provide a cesspool. At the same time, he felt that there could be no reason for dealing differently with Mr. Lloyd George to what had been done by the Council in respect of other houses situate at longer distances from the main sewer.—Mr. W. Watkin said the Roads and Buildings Com. mittee had before the buildings was startied discussett the matter with Mr. Rowland Lloyd Jones and it was then arranged that the Council should bear half the expense of extending the main. At that tin^e Mr Rowland Lloyd Jones was quite agreeable. The. Council did not wish to deal differently in this case to what they had done in regard to other houses. -A-ir. J. T. Jones: I propose that the letter should be referred to the Roads ana Buildings Committee'. We must have time to deal with it.—The Deputy Clerk A meeting of the Roads and Buildings Committee could be convened at once to deal with the matter.—The Chairman: Mr J. T. Jones is quite right. We cannot rush these sanitary matters through.—Mr J. T. Jones: Power might be given the Committee to act.Nlr. J. R. Humphreys, -and Mr. T G. Williams agreed, and the matter was eventually referred to the Committee with power to act. (Roads on Ymwlch Estate. Mr. Laycock, Estate Office Criccieth. in a, letted dated August 27th. with reference to the roads in course of construction on the Ymwlch Estate, wrote stating that the roads were now nearly completed. It was intended that they should be finished entirely and in accordance with the local byelaws by the end of next week. He should therefore be obliged if the Council would advice him as to the earliest date they would be in a position to take over the roads in accordance with the arrange- ment which, he believed, was made with Mr. Bovill, agent to the estate—Mr. J. T. Jones and Mr. Watkin said the Coun- cil had not promised to take over the roads. They had simply agrped to con- sider the matter.—T!he letter was referred to the Roads and Buildings Committee. Laid on the Table. Mr. Ernest Bell, secretary to the Anti- Bearing Rein Association, wrote stating that a visitor at Crioci.eth had written to them complaining of the crulel manner in which some of the horses were tied up with the bearing-rein when carting sand from the shoi\e. As the Association under, stood that this was done with the sanction of the Council, they would be very glad if the Council would kindly give the matter consideration.—Mr. J. T. Jones said the Council had no horses doing that work.— The letter was laid on the table. Toll Bars. Mr. J. R Humphreys proposed that the Council should comply with the recom- mendation of the recent conference at Port, madoc to make representations to the two county councils in favour of removing the toll bars on Portmadoc Embankment road ana Brewet Bridge, Talsarnau.—Mr. J. S. Griffith, seconded the proposition whiich was unanimously agreed to. Official Sanction Wanted. A London firm wrote asking if the Coun. cil would give official sanction to a guide to Criccieth They were prepared to allot 1,000 copies to the Council for free distri- bution.—Mr. Watkin proposed that the letter should be referred to the Advertising Commttee, and Mr J. S. Griffith seconded the proposition which was agreed to.-The Chairman remarked that he did not see the Council could entertain the proposal seeing they were issuing an official guide themselves. Joint Sanitary Authority. The Chairman, referring to a circular letter from the Carnarvonshire Joint Sani. tary Authority drawing special attention to the recommendations of the county medical officers with regard to isolation hospitals infantile mortality, tubercular death-rate, housing accommodation, and slaughter houses, said there were very important matters which the Joint Authority hoped would receive the serious consideration of all the councils in the county. It was highly important for Cric_ cieth as a holiday resort to do all it could in the matter. As regards an isolation hospital, possibly it would be better to carry the matter through in combination. He proposed that the letter should be referred to the consideration of the Sanitary Com- mittee.—The proposition was seconded by Mi". W. Watkin and passed. Financial. The Finance Committee reported the collection of £ 271 in general district rate during the past month; JB555 in poor rate; and tl76 in water rentals. The balance in the bank on the general account stood at £155, and there was a net credit balance on tIAo loan accounts of C200 odd. Accounts totalling JE324, including JB186 in favour of the water works contractor were passed for payment.—Mr. Watkin, chair- man of the Committee, said the Committee hoped to have received by the next meet- nig the outstanding rents in connection with Maes Tynygelest. Waiting the Medical Officer's Report. Tlhe Sanitary Committee reported having deferred consideration of various sanitary matters pending the receipt of the Medical Officer's report thereon. Dr. Lloyd Owen. the medical officer, wrote that he was taking a fortnight's holiday and that Dr Parry Edwards of Carnarvon would attend to urgent matters in his absence.— Mr. Watkin understood that the Medical Officer would submit a lengthy report. A special meeting of the Sanitary Committee would be convened on its receipt. Satisfactory. Mr. Watkin who, in the absence of Mr. Burnell, brought up the Sanitary Com- mittee's report, said a satisfactory report had been received from the Sanitary In- spector with regard to the way in which the slaughter house was kept by Mr. R. Humphreys. j No Quorum. A failure to form a quorum of the General Purposes Committee was announced, Captain Drage being the only j member who attended. Medical Return ¡' The Medical Officer's return for June showed one birth and one dieath, giving the low death-rate of 8.5. Proposed New Post Office. Plans of proposed new post offico at Cric. cith were laid before the Roaas and Build- mgs Committee. The Committee recom- mended that certain sanitary provisions should be agreed to before the plans were passed and that there should be a clause m the specification stating that all the drainage and sanitary arrangements would et tj be carried out strictly in accordance with the Council's byelaws.—The recommenda- tion was adopted. Sea Wall The Roads and ibuild-ings Committee decided, having regard to the Surveyor's report in reference to the Abereistedd and Marine Terrace -,ea, wall, that the Com- mittee should visit the site and report. Complaints. A letter was received from Mr. John E. Greaves enclosing copy of a lett-er addressed by him to the Lleyn and the Glaslyii Rural Councils in reference to the dangerous state of certain parts of Glan- dwyfach-roaa. A letter in regard to the matter was also received from Captain Drage.-T-hie Surveyor reported having seen the Waterworks contractors on the matter and that they had promised to have the heaps between Glandwyfach and the boundary levelled up. In regard to the state of the road near Penarllygaid they disowned liability and ascribed its condi- tion to the roadmen of either the Lleyn or Glaslyn councils. Common and Waste Land. It was resolved to furnish the County Council with particulars of common and waste land in Criccieth, the information being required for purposes under the Small Holdings Act. Deferred. Mr. Burnell had given notioe of nfotion to re-appoint Mr. Morris Williams as sani tary inspector.—Mr. J. T. Jones, in view of the absence of Mr Burnell and the small attendance, moved that the matter should be aeferred. There was no hurry. -—The Assistant Clerk said the Local Gov. eminent Board would require to know why the appointment had not been made? —The Chairman said the Council could make the appointment that night. The matter was in order, the necessary motion having been given.—Mr. J. T. Jones: I propose that we defer the matter for a month. It is a busy time with us.—Mr W Rowland Hughes seconded the proposition. He felt that Mr. Burnell, who was away from home, should have an opportunity of personally submitting the motion.— The proposition was agreed to. and it was agreed to inform the Local Government Boaro that the appointment haa been deferred because of the small attendance at this meeting. Town Advertising. Mr. WTatkin said Mr. Warner of the London and North-Western Railway Com pany convened an important conference at Colwyn Bay on Friday to discuss what steps to take towards the further adver- tising of North Wales as a holiday resort. The Company had, as the Council were aware, done a great deal in advertising North Wales towns, including Criccieth. during the past few years. Members or the General Purposes Committee of the Council being unable to attend the confer, ence and the Committee feeling that it was most desirable that Criccieth should be represented, it was resolved to ask Mr. O. T. Williams, barrister, a former mem- ber of the Urban Council, to attend on behalf of the Council ,and Mr Williams had kindly complied. He (Mr. Watkin) had since received a report of the confer- ence from Mr. Warner. It was proposed to boom North Wales as a winter resort and the towns embraced in This scheme included Pwllheli, Criccieth, and Port- madoc. The Company had spent no end of money in booming North Wales. In view, however, of the other holiday dis- tricts they catered for they would Qe un- able another year to concentrate so much attention on North Wales, and the confer, ence at Colwvn Bay was convened with a view to holiday resorts in North Wales combining to support the Company in the collective advertising of North Wales. A further conference was to he held at the end of September. He might say that the London and North-Western Company proposed running their fast trains as an experiment through the ensuing winter and also improving the local train service between Carnarvon and Afonwen. Cheap tickets were also to be issued. The Adver. tising Committee should meet to consider the report received from Mr Warner. He felt that the Committee should arrange for a public meeting of ratepayers with a view to establishing the Advertising Committee on a stronger and firmer basis. His view was that the Council should appoint, say, eight members on the Com- mittee and the householders appoint seven. It was but right that householders should share the expense of advertising the town as a holiday resort. Mr. O. T. Williams had agreed to attend the public meeting to lay bfore it the proposals set forth in the conference. He proposed that Mr. Warner's letter should be referred to the Advertising Committee with power to con. vene a public meeting.—Mr. W Rowland Hughes seconded the proposition which was agreed to. Presumed to be Suffragettes. The Surveyor said the police officer had received a telephone message from some ladies at Pwllheli asking if they could hold a meeting at Criccieth beach?-—Mr. Wat- kin: Suffragettes. (Laughter.)—Mr. W. Rowland Hughes proposed that permission should be refused. The Council must keep the beach respectably.—Mr J. S. Griffith seconded the proposition which was agreed to.—Mr. T .G Williams: Refused nem con. (Laughter.) The Waterworks Contract. Mr. Evan Evans, the engineer of the waterworks, reported on July 26th that the works were progressing and would pro. bably be completed some weeks before the contract time.—Reporting on August 14th, Mr. Evan Evans stated that the contract was nearing completion. In Committee. The Council then went into committee.
