Peel, Esq., Dr B. Williams, Thomas Chelton, Esq., A. Barker, Esq, &c. VOTR OF SYMPATHY WITH THE QUBBN AND THE DUCHKSS OF ALBANY. Major West moved a vote of condolence with the Queen and the Prince of Wales, Duchess of Albany, and all the royal family on the loss they had sustained by the death of the Duke of Albany. The mover spoke of the public and private virtues of the late Duke, and said that what he had to say of him was from personal knowledge of him. They had only just discovered the capabilities of the Prince for private work. His delicate health did not prevent him from acquiring a large store of knowledge. They had lost him just as his public life was commencing. He was dearly beloved by all whp knew him in private life, and his death will be greatly mourned, not only by the Queen and the other members of the royal household, but also by all those who ever came to know his worth.—The Right Hon. G. Osbotne Morgan seconded ta6 motion, which was unanimously car- ried. LETTER FROM MRS MAINWARING. A letter was read from Mrs Maiawaring thank- ing the court for the expression of sympathy which they had shown towards.her in her bereavement. SHREWSBURY AND HOLYHEAD ROAD. Those who had been appointed to act on the joint committee of the road had no report to pre- sent, but the chairman and Capt Best said that the Government had offered J650 per mile to put the road in repair. The Denbighshire representa- tives on the committee recommended that the offer of the Government be accepted, as it was understood this was the maximum that would be offered. Captain Best said he had not been able to attend the last committee. He was against bringing the matter before a select committee of the House of Commons. The other counties were in favour of petitioning ^Parliament for leave to call the road a county road. He was against that, as it I would only create another highway authority.—MrG. Osborne Morgan said from wtiat he understood from Mr Shaw Lefevere no further grant than the £ 50 would be made.— Major West proposed that the Govern- ment offer of £ 50 be accepted. This was seconded by Captain Best, and carried. Copies of the resolution will be sent to the clerks of the peace of the other counties interested in the matter. FINANCE COMMITTEE. The committee! had had no time to prepare a report, but had with a few exceptions passed.,the county surveyor's report. One exception was that the sum of £ 110 be spent on Denbigh Town Hall. JTHB CENTRAL POLICE COMMITTEE. This committee had decided that six powerfu telescopes be provided for the police as an experiment, the cost not to exceed £ 10. HIGHWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ACT. Mr Sweetenham had given notice that he intended to call attention to the fact that the above act was not put in force with regard to waggons and carts using the roads. In Mr Swetenham's rabsence the Rev the Warden introduced the matter at the request of the former. He said he had no special knowledge oi the matter, but understand that Mr Sweetenham intended to move that the matter be taken up by the police. As Mr Sweetenham was unable to be present, he moved that they should do this when practicable. Captain Best'seconded the motion, which was carried. THE JUSTICE'S CLERK AT RUTHIN. A long discussion took place with regard to the above, Mr Adams being holder of the office of clerk of the peace and clerk to the justice, and it was finally decided that the county should take no action IN the matter. THE DEB BRIDGE. This subject was deferred until the bill now before Parliament should be passed. DBNBIGH GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Mr Mainwaring was re-elected governor of the the above school, as representative of quarter sessions. CHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT.

West, Col Humber- stone, Major Meshair., Capt Cole, and Mr J. F. Jesse, &c. CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY. The grand jury, the foreman of whom was Mr R. D. Hughes, chemist, Denbigh, having been called and sworn, the chairman proceeded to ad- dress them, and said:—There are nine prisoners, the cases of most of whom will not take much of your time. It is not necessary that you should go iullv into the details of the cases, ail you-need be satisfied upon is that there is sufficient prima faoie evidence to bring in a true bill. I mention this because there is, some times, a misapprehen- sion in the minds of grand juries with regard to it, AND HS to what their duties really were. The chairman, then referred to each of the cases indi- vidually, and after making a few remarks upon each, dismissed the grand jury to their work. APPEAL CASE. Wm. Parry Jones, Nant Farm, St. George, who having some time ago been sentenced to two calendar months; by the Abergele bench, for night poaching, entered an appeal to the quarter sessions against the decision of the bench, and was let out on bail-two sureties in £ 30 each, pending the hearing of the appeal. The appeal was to be heard at the present court, but the appellant had absconded to America, and consequently the recognizances were called upon to pajr the money.—Mr Higgins, who appeared for the recognizances, appealed to the bench to reduce the amount, but^Mr Marshall, who appeared for the respondents, opposed the application, and said that it was through the sureties that the appellant WM eoabled to escape punishment.—Mr Higgins said there was no evidence that THE sureties were privv to his going away.—The Chairman, address- ing Mr Higgings, said the sense of the bench was against the application, and. therefore the sureties would have to pay the money. The appeal was then dismissed with costs. OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. OBTAINING GOODS UNDER FALSE PRETENCES. Catherine Ellen Jones, Tan-y-Iron, ESlwls-1ach, I surrendered to her biil to answer a charge of un- lawfully and by certain false pretences obtaining from William Simon Williams, London House, Llanrwst. one doliman, one jacket, one fnr cape, and one pair of gloves, together valued at J62 58 Id, with intent to cheat and defraud the said William Simon Williams, on 23rd November, 1883.—Mr Higgings, instructed by Mr Hammond, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Marshall, instructed by Mr Griffiths, appeared for the defence. The first witness called was Catherine Mary Williams, who said she was serving in the shop of the prose- cutor on the day in question. The prisoner came to the shop and asked for a jacket and a cape. After that she asked for a doliman, and after the witness brought tnena downstairs she asked for a pair of gloves. She gave the name of M ES Jones, Cefn Shircam, Carnarvonshire. She said she wanted the goods on approbation for her mother, and would return them on the following Monday. The witness enteted them in the approbation book which was now produced, after which she read the entry to the piisoner.—Cross EXAMINED SHE could not say how many entries were made that day There were a good many people in the town, because Richard Owen, the revivalist, happened to be preaching there. There were eleven assistants in the shop, and entries were made by them all in the same bock. At the time she served the prisoner there was no one else in the room. It was between four and five o'clock in the afternoon. Witness did not kuow how long the prisoner had been waiting ia the show-room before she came there. She first asked for a jacket and a cape. When witness told her the price, she did not consider it too much. She then asked for a doliman, and witness having brought the gGods downstairs. She asked for a pair of gloves. Witness asked her for her address and wrote it down. She was quite sure the articles were those produced, but was not quite sure about the cape.—Wm. Simou Williams said he kept the London House, Lian rwst, and the articles produced were his property, but he could not swear as to tue cape. The letter produced was written by his clerk (Mr Marshall objected to the latter being put ia on the ground that the prisoner had never seen it. He would not object to the envelope being put in. Mr Higgings said he would nut press it.) Examination continued: The letter was addressed, Miss Jones, Oefn Shircam, Tal-y-bont, via Conway," and was returned to him with 2d to pay on it. Atter that he caused a warrant to be issued for the apprehension of the prisoner.- Oross exdmined He himself gave the letter to be posted along with others. The book with the entry in was produced before the magis- trates.—Jane Jones said she lived at Cefn Shir- cam. The prisoner was not her daughter, neither did she live with her. The witness received the letter produced, and knowing nothing about what it related to she returned it accompanied by a letter. The name of the place where she lived was Oefn Alica, and not Cefn Shircam.—Superintendent Hammond said he apprehended the prisoner at Tan-y-fron, Eglwya-fach. He charged her with obtaining the goods from London House, Llanrwst, tinder false pretences, and she said she was never there. Subsequently she went upstairs, followed by the witness, and produced the goods from a box, and after doing so she said, "These are them."—Cross-examined: The search-warrant was never put in his hand.-Re. examined: The articles produced were those given him by the prisoner.—This was all the evidence taken, and Mr Marshall contended there was no case to go before the jury. It had not been hinted once that the goods were given to her on the STRENGTH of the address, and his learned friend had not given a simple question on the point. If he had done so, he (Mr Marshall) would have erosj-examined the witnesses with regard to it, and asked why the goods should have been given because she had given the address. The prosecutor seemed to have known nothing about the address.-The chairman said he thought there was sufficient evidence for the case to go before the jury, but he would make a note of the objection.—Mr Higgins, in addres- sing the jury for the prosecution, said it was per- fectly clear that the prisoner had given a false address, and when she was apprehended she did not at all act like an innocent person. Instead of saying Yes, I got the goods to show my mother," she said I was not there."—Mr Marshall,tor tha defence, said he hoped and trusted the jury would not couvict, the piisoner of the very serious charge brought against fier, unless they were perfectly satisfied in their minds that she was guilty. He believed that when they would come to consider the circumstances of the case iu their true light, that sue was not guilty of the charge brought against her by the prosecution.—The learned counsel then recapitulated the evidence, said there was nothing to show that they knew in the shop where Cae Shircam was, and yet they departed with their goods as soon as the name was given to them, as i, there was some magic in it. The pro- ceeedings was not intelligible nor business-like Was it not reasonable to believe that Mr Williams and Mios Williams parted with their goods be- cause they believed they would be peid for in the usual course, and there was nothing to show but this would have been done had her mother not been taken ill.—The chairman in summing up said that the two points for the jury to decide upon were, whether the goods were obtained under false pretences, and whether there was an dt. u -apt on the part of the prisoner to defraud. He went over the evidence, and referred to some points which, to his mind, clearly showed that the goods were obtained under false pretences.—The jury considered their verdict and brought the prisoner guilty. She was sentenced to one calendar month's imprisonment with hard labour.—Mr Marshall asked the the consent of the bench to make an appeal on the point which he had raised. Subsequently the chairman said the court was willing to accept recognizances, herself in £ 50, and two others in JE25. that she would appear as soon as the point raised by the counsel would have been decided. This was accordingly done and the prisoner discharged. BMBEZZLEMBKT. John Dunston, a writing clerk, was charged with stealing and embezzling J610 183 on June 13th, 1883 j627 38 on August 31st, 1883 and S4 So 6d on November 20th, 1883, money belonging to his employer, James Coster Edwards, Llan- gollen. The prisoner pleaded guilty to all the charges, and said he had no dishonest intentions towards Mr Edwards. Being in temporary difficulty he made use of the money to meet his own exigencies with a full intention to refund it. There were no previous convictions, and he was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment with hard labour. BREAKING INTO A SHOP. Peter Williams and Joseph Lloyd, aged 16 and 12 respectively, were charged with feloniously breaking and entering on April 2nd, the shop of one Benjamin Davies, and stealing therefrom, two pairs of braces, two loaves, six ounces of tobacco, eix boxes of matches, one neckerchief, one pound of cheese, and five.pence in coppers, property of the said Benjamin Davies. Both prisoners pleaded guilty. Mr Edwards, who appeared for the prisoner Joseph Lloyd, addressed the bench for mitigation of punishment. The prisoner's father entered into recognisances for £ 25 to bring up his son for judgment when called upon. Peter Williams was sentenced to three months imprison- ment with hard labour. Both prisoners were described as unable to read or write, and the chair- man said he would write to the chairman of Ruabon School Board, for an explanation of the fact, for in his opinion there must have been some- thing wrong somewhere that two boys of the prisoners' age should be unable to read and write. THEFT. Grace Elizabeth Morrow (18), was charged with stealing JE23 in money, the property of William Prodger, at Marchwiel, on the 17th of January, 1884. She pleaded guilty. It appears the prisoner', was employed occasionally by the prosecutor, aud took the money from a box which she opened with a key belonging to her mother. She bad already been in prison for six weeks, and was sentence for three calendar months with hard labour. STEALING MONEY. Jacob Jones (24), labourer, was charged with stealing £9 5a lOd, belonging to one Ann Hunrhes. Ruabon, on March 6th, 1884. Mr H. Lloyd prosecuted.—Ann Hughes was called and said she j was servant at King's Head, Ruabon. On the day in question there was a sale at King's Head.

The purse was the one produced.—Jane Hughes said she lived near Llangollen, and was the mother of last witness. On the day in queetion, she gavw her t2 10S.—Edward Jones said he was a labourer, Cefn, Ruabon, and was at King's Head, and saw prisoner there about 8 o'clock.

It was about five o'clock in the evening.—Henry Parry also gava evidence to h ving seen the prisoner at the King's Head on the evening ia question. He saw the prisoner locking the dorr leading to the garden. It was about eighr o'clock in the evening at the. time.—Lleweiyn Evans, a young lad, 6aid the pii- soner came on the 6th of March to his uncle'E house, who kept a public-house at Trevor, and spent at the hous", 2d ad.-George Tanner, P.O. at.

ASSAULT UPON THE POLICE. Stephen Jones, junior, Ruthin, was charged with committing an assault upon Edward Jones, police offl jer, while in execution of his duty at Llan* fwrog, Ruthin, on the 24th of December, 1883.- Mr Higgins, instructed by Messrs Lloyd AND Roberts, RuthinV appeared for the prosecution, and Mr Marshall appeared for the defendant.—Ed- ward Jones, complainant, was called, and said he was police inspector at Ruthin. On the day in question he went, about three o'clock in the after- noon, in company tlf P.C. Bagshaw, to serve a summons at Lhinfwrog. He met the prisoner, hit brother John, and his uncle Phillip Jones. Witne&S told prisoner he had a warrant for his ap- prehension. Prisoner said, I know all about it, but I don't want to come with you." Witnese took hold of his aim, and prisoner knocked hiDa down and kicked him. Bagshaw was struck by Phillip Jones. The three closed upon witness, and he WAS defer ding himselt with his stick. Dt Jen- kins came there, and advised witnesa to get more assistance. The prisoner and the other two went afterwards to Lon Fawr, and Peter Jones and Stephen Jones, the father, and the mother, as well" as Peter Jones, joined them. Peter struck Dr Jenkins. Witness and Bagshaw were then driven across the road, snd weie struck down, and kicked on the road by the prisoner and the others. He was cut IA the ear, and was otherwise hurt. The prisoner AIID the others then were for going away, and the witness following them, prisoner got hold of a brick and said if the witness came nearer he would split his head. Tbe witness, ill cross-examination, said he might have said at Ruthin it was Peter that cut his ear.-P.O. Bag- shaw corroborated the evidence of the former wit- ness.—Dr Jenkins said he met thj police officers fa Litiufwrog, AND a little fuxther on saw the prisoner and others. In a short time afterwards he saw a fight between the oncers and the men. He ad- vised the officers to get more assistance. The witness received a severe blow under the eye, and was bleeding very freely. They went to Loin Fawr, and the men were joined by others Peter kicked witness and then went to Inspectot Jones, who struck him a tremendous blow. They then urove the officers across the road, anA Inspector Jones fell upon the parapet end the pri- souff Van Lketopof him.-Ali MAIEH<UL addressed the jury for tee defence, and called their attention to the fact thsit the police officer was not going to- the neighbourhood for the purpose of apprehending. the prisoner. If he meant to appreheud the pri- soner it was his duty to undertake to DO so with such assistance as would give no cause to violence. He then referred to the evidence of Dr Jenkins, which showed that Inspector Jones had struck the prisoner and others until they bled profusely. An the violence came from the police officer, and it there was any one to blame it was he.—The chair- man summed up and pointed out to the jury that the question for them: UI decide upon was whether- the police officer was at the time in the execution of his duty, and also whether an assault was com- mitted upon him.—The jury took some time to consider their verdict, and ultimately brought the prisoner guilty of common assault. They also dis- approved of the conduct of tne police upon the evidence of Dr Jenkias. -The chairman, address- ing the prisoner, said that it was clear to the bench that an assault had been committed upon tbe- officer while in execution of his duty, for if police officer is not on duty while serving a warrant they did not know when he was. The prisoner was then sentenced to twelve months' imprison- ment with hard labour. ROBBERY. William Smith and William Whitney were charged with stealing from the person of one Wil- liam Jones a purse containing three florins at Sesswick on February 6th, 1884.—Mr Edwards, instructed by Mr Lewis, Wrexham, appeared for the prosecution. -William Jones was called and said be met the prisoners in a public-house at Bangor, near Wrexham. He paid for some beer and bread and cheese for them. He went over the Bangor Bridge on the Wrexham road, and sat down on a heap of stones. Prisoners came there and wanted him to come on with them. He had his purse in his right pocket, and Smith put his hand in his pocket and then went on laughing, while the other prisoner argued with him. He WEBT back over the bridge and gave information to the police.—George Duuville said he was going over THE Bangor bridge towards Wrexham. Pri- soners were going over the bridge at the same time. The prosecutor was sitting on a heap ot stones and prisoners went and sat down by him.- Thomas Barker eaid on the day in question he waer working on the road and saw prisoners and another man going towards Bangor. Next ti. bee saw them they were going towards Wtexbam. It- was about three o'clock when he saw them the second time —P.O. Harvey and P.C Hughes gave eviibnee of their apprehending the prisoners. They searched them and found upon them a few coppers.—The chairman went over the evidence hnd the jury brought a verdict of "Not guiltlW" against both prisoners.
